CC Note: "Texas State head coach Dennis Franchione loves coaching against the Hawaii Warriors. In fact, Franchione is the only coach in college football history to bring three different teams to Honolulu and walk out with a win each time."


About how he was the person that suggested that Texas State play a game to end the 2012 season in Hawaii, Dennis Franchione said:
"I'm the guy that brought it up [to Texas State Director of Athletics Dr. Larry Teis]. With the postseason being up in the air in 2012, I thought it would be a treat to our players, fans and a good game for us." (CC)


About how he recently decided that their 2012 schedule was too tough to play UH, Franchione said:
"It looks pretty demanding. If we added that game, it would have been tough on our guys. Then to cut out another week of recruiting, I don't know if we should do it right now. I would like to do it in the future, but I'm not sure if 2012 was the correct time." (CC)


CC Note: "Once Franchione decided against the game, which would have begun a three-game, away-home-away series with the Warriors, Teis pulled out of talks with Hawaii AD Jim Donovan."


About how JD said that UH won't schedule Texas State while he's AD, Franchione shot back:
"That's his prerogative. There will be another AD someday." (CC)
