Who’s afraid of the big bad WAC?

(By Erik)

Bragging too much is unbecoming, so I’ll be brief. I just want to say a big “GO DAWGS” after Georgia’s 41-10 Sugar Bowl rout of Western Athletic Conference champs the Hawaii Warriors.

After watching another WAC team, Boise State, put the hurt on the Sooners last year, I was concerned about lightning striking twice. It turned out to be a non-issue. Georgia dominated every aspect of the game.

I also was concerned about Hawaii becoming media darlings to a sickening degree. That didn’t really happen either. The commentators actually kind of turned on the Warriors when it became clear they were outgunned. By the end of the game, we were saying “Aloha” (the one that means goodbye) and actually feeling sorry for Hawaii (and all the fans who paid big bucks to travel to New Orleans.)

Great game. The commentators were annoyed too that Hawaii wasn't winning.
