In the end, win or lose, it didn't matter that much to me because here is what BCS (Because Colt Stayed) meant to me... In a world of unappreciative and spoiled professional athletes, I was able to teach my children the true meaning of college athletics - the power of teamwork and unselfishness. I was able to teach them that with hard work and a belief in yourself, anything is possible. I was able to teach my children that to succeed in Hawaii it does not matter what the color of your skin is or what your background is... To succeed in Hawaii, people judge you by your heart and that some people will never understand this no matter how long they live here. Finally, I was able to teach my children that there will always be another day. Never dwell in the past because there will always be an opportunity for something greater in the future.
So Colt, if you ever receive this message I hope that you and the Team will get an idea of what this season has meant personally to some of us. - DT

Thanks for the great season. We learned to 'believe.'
Go warriors!
I would like to say thanks to Colt for staying and making this the best season ever. I never ever watch football but ever since the Warriors started winning and highlighting the best quarterback UH ever had I told myself I better watch this.
What surprised me was that Colt's a team player even though he was always in the spot light all the time... He wasn't an arrogant player. He always included his team mates. I like that...that's what a leader supposed to do thank the team and not himself.
I give it up to the entire warrior team. Our state always believed in all of you warriors that's why 35,000 fans went to New Orleans. I know more of us would be there. If that game was in Hawaii the whole state would be there.
I know Colt felt bad that the team lost but I never gave up on you guys...I always believed that you could catch up. I tell you that one touchdown to me was like winning the game! Warriors all of you did your best and to me you guys are the real sugar bowl champions! 12-1 Wow! That's awesome!
Don't give up Colt Brennan you have it in you to succeed...you are our Heisman trophy winner!
Aloha!

Colt did his best but without protection their offense couldn't do anything. The O-Line messed it up...Big Time!
Because Colt stayed made such an impression on my friends and co-workers, that I paid attention and joined in supporting the Warriors this year. (The first time I paid attention to football since high school, some 30 years ago.) Great job, Colt & the Warriors, to pull so many Hawaiians together.
Aloha & Mahalo!
DT you should make a bumper sticker BCS "Because Colt Stayed" It would be like Eddie would Go. It would be a hit.
Colt is a true Warrior!!!!!
The Hawai'i Warriors have defined the true meaning of "TEAM". To have many individuals come together to form one, complete working unit. Each member rose above their own limitations to help elevate their teammates limitations. This was a truly special team .... one lost, to a great GA. team, should not define the season.
I've been away from Hawaii for a long time. I went to high school and college in HI, but I haven't been an active fan until this season. Thanks team!
It was such an exciting season. I was an UH graduate, but have not followed UH football in years. You pulled me back in.
I have been a UH fan since the first game I ever watched at Aloha Stadium, the 1984 game against BYU when I was only 13 years old. Through the years, this has been the most incredible and magical season for me, a season ticket holder. I just wanted to say Mahalo!
All year I took my 4 year old daughter to watch you guys and she, as I, fell in love with you guys. Your heart, spirit, and team 'ohana, all are lessons I hope she carries through her life. I especially want to say thank you to Colt and his online. The entire team was an inspiration, but you guys stood and battled, in my opinion, the best defensive front 7 in the NCAA and never backed down. In the end, the attention you have brought to the program, the revenue you have generated, the WAC championship, have all taken our program to the next level and there are no words that can adequately express our appreciation for that. It didn't end the way we wanted, but it will the next time, and there will be a next time thanks to your blood,sweat and tears this season!
Again, form myself and my daughter, thank you for the unforgettable season, and the memories we will share throughout our life!
Finally, GO WARRIORS!!! KICK SOME ASS IN GAINSVILLE!!!!
Thank you to the Warriors for a great season! We were in New Orleans at New Years, only because of the accomplishments you made during the 2007 season. Thanks for making it possible. You are all talented players, playing with heart and love for each other - characteristics of a true team!
Aloha
Thanks Colt for staying! I wouldn't have been able to be where I am right now without you. You've opened the doors for a brighter future for me.
