Sure, the University of Hawaii has a legitimate gripe for not being in the BCS Championship game -- you know, considering its undefeated record and all -- but islanders are apparently just as stoked to have their Warriors in the Allstate Sugar Bowl. Oceanic Time Warner Cable (partly owned by Time Warner, parent company of AOL, which owns Engadget) announced that it ordered up (and received) some 6,000 HD DVRs in anticipation of a spike in demand stemming from the upcoming bowl game. Reportedly, over 3,000 subscribers have been on a waiting list since December 1st to get their box in time for the New Year's day matchup, and Oceanic also noted that it would be extending business hours for O'ahu residents to get their hands around a box in time for the tilt. Of course, users
not on said waiting list will be helped on a "first come, first served" basis, so we'd get a move on if you're scouting one.

It's easy to go undefeated when you don't play anybody. Georgia is gonna mop up the field with them.

Oklahoma overlooked them....just like Boise "supposedly" overlooked East Carolina a couple of nights ago. Don't count on UGA doing the same to Hawaii, but that is Hawaii's only hope.
