Last year, Penn State's Nittany Lions had a 9-4 football season

Hawaii went 12-0 during the regular season, losing to Georgia in the Sugar Bowl

What is the football team nickname for Obama's home state of Hawaii?

The Rainbow warriors that Purdue played giving them a 13 game season in 2007. I'm a boilermaker so that was easy. We lost that game as The Rainbow Warriors had a very good offense that year one of the top in the country. Still hurt that we lost to Rainbows...Georgia would be the bulldogs.
Next.

Congrats. OTOH, you are not typical. I lived in Hawaii myself for ten years.

Before I moved there, I had no idea what the name of their team was.

BTW, they dropped the "Rainbow" part of the "Rainbow Warriors". Not macho enough.

Well, I think Obama's chances of being President of Pennsylvania are now shot.
Try again in 2012 and maybe this gaffe will be long forgotten my friend.

That I did not know...but I understand...still hurts that Tiller couldn't pull that win off to Rainbows or Warriors.
