Hawaii Football Can't Find Another Dance Partner

Or is it Hula partner? Or Haka partner? Whatever, the Hawaii football program needs a 13th opponent but threw in the towel a few days ago.
The University of Hawaii has failed to add a 13th opponent and will play a 12-game football schedule this season, officials said Friday.

The schedule includes seven homes games, including two against Division I-AA opponents. Because of an exemption, the Warriors are allowed to play 13 regular-season games.

"After a long and exhaustive process that included discussions with several schools, no team we targeted for a 13th game would agree to play at UH in 2007," Hawaii athletics director Herman Frazier said.
I have a feeling we may need to reference this in December when Hawaii is undefeated or something darn near it and people start grousing about their weak out-of-conference slate. We warned you, it's coming!

I realize travel's expensive lately, but certainly someone in D-I should have been willing to make the finest road trip in all of college football. Or maybe Hawaii was unwilling to play that special someone? Who knows.
