About how the Warriors have a big fan base in Maui, Maui Mayor Charmaine Tavares said:
“There is a very loyal U.H. football fan base on Maui – there were a lot of home-based ’tailgate’ parties going on in my neighborhood on game day! This will be an exciting opportunity for our youth, as well as our entire community, to experience Warrior football action here on Maui, and I’m gratified that the county is able to help make this happen.” (Lahaina News)

Happy to be able to bring the Warriors to Maui, JD said:
“We’re ’Hawaii’s Team,’ so we are thrilled that we’ve been able to partner with McDonald’s, Oceanic, Hawaiian Airlines, Panda Travel and the County of Maui in making this outreach initiative a reality. Without their support, we would never have been able to take our football team to Maui and have the opportunity to interact with U.H. fans on a Neighbor Island.” (Lahaina News)

Accepting the BCS system, WAC Commissioner Karl Benson said:
“In the past year or two, when you really look at it in terms of value, five non-automatic teams were in position to earn a spot. The rules are the rules, and we understood the structure. You always want to have more, but sometimes you can’t get everything you want.” (OS)

Accepting the rules of the BCS even though Boise State lost out last season, Benson said:
“Is there disparity? Of course. Is it disappointing when Boise State finishes No. 8 and plays in a bowl that generates $200,000, when you see champions in the Big East ranked what they were and they get an $18 million paycheck? Of course. But that’s why the existing rules are in place.” (OS)
