UH Note: "University of Hawai'i Athletics Director Jim Donovan announced the addition of Western Kentucky, of the Sun Belt Conference, to almost complete the 2012 football schedule. The Warriors and Hilltoppers will close out the regular season with a game on Dec. 1, 2012 at Aloha Stadium. With the addition of Western Kentucky, the Warriors need one more opponent to complete the 2012 schedule. UH has already filled the upcoming 2010 schedule as well as 2011."
Happy to complete the deal to get Western Kentucky to play at Aloha Stadium to end the 2012 season, JD said:
"We're pleased that Western Kentucky has filled one of the open slots for the 2012 schedule. I'm sure their coaches, players and fans are very excited for the opportunity to finish the regular season in Hawai'i. Having already completed the 2010 and '11 schedules and needing one more game for '12 and '13, we're meeting one of our goals to have the football schedule complete several years out." (UH)

UH Note: "Hawai'i and Western Kentucky will play for the first time on the football field. The 2012 schedule includes road games at USC (Sept. 1) and Brigham Young (Sept. 8) to open the season and a home game against UNLV (Sept. 22). Since last year, UH has announced new games with Army, Brigham Young (2012 & 2013), and UC Davis and extended series with USC, Oregon State, Washington, and UNLV."
Happy to be able to play at Aloha Stadium and to play a record 13 games in their 2012 regular season, Selig said:
"This is tremendous for our football program in many ways. It gives us an extra regular season game with the benefits of a post-season bowl game. This will be the farthest we have ever traveled for a football game and marks another milestone in our program's continued development." (BG)
Excited to play against UH, Willie Taggart said:
"I am really excited about this game. It gives us an extra regular season game and a chance to compete against a very good football program in a great environment. The experience will also resemble a bowl game in many ways. We will be about chasing greatness and catching excellence in the process and playing this game in this setting will be a great experience for our players, coaches, administration and fans." (BG)
