And now you got Hawai’i traveling to Wisconsin? I get it, you hate Hawai’i. Yes, I'm sure he did all this work just so he could devise a bracket that sends Hawai'i to Wisconsin.

Hawaii is in a group of teams that are not Top 32, but are in the next grouping (unofficial 3-seeds in a subregional, which aren't really a thing) that are not within 400 miles of any host. Anyways: Hawaii, Georgia, Auburn, Colorado, and Utah are all teams that cannot go to anywhere geographically. These teams can go literally anywhere. Georgia can technically go to Georgia Tech if GT beats Pitt and can earn a seed. Also, LSU/TCU are a part of that grouping. Just depends on which one. Either of them can go to Rice, but not both of them (unless they made LSU/TCU the *4-seed* in that subregional, which would be a stretch) Rice is the only drive-in option for both LSU/TCU. It should also be noted that teams like Oregon and Washington generally have ZERO drive-in options (maybe an AQ here or there - like Portland State could be this year) so it makes total sense that Hawaii gets sent there more often than other places. But at the same time, the committee has sent Hawaii to Texas A&M and Minnesota in recent years, that's just how it is as a team that isn't within 400 miles of a potential host.

But so far you had Hawaʻi going to three different regionals except on the west coast.

I get it, they can fit any spot because the travel rule does not apply. But closer to the west coast would make sense for distance wise. Rainbows will welcome them and cheer for them. We’ll take good care of them!

Does it really matter to take an extra nap on the plane?

Hawaii can blame Washington which injured its way out of hosting. Otherwise Hawaii would be traveling to Seattle. Again. As long as the committee keeps Texas and Nebraska on opposite sides of the bracket, I'm sticking with my October prediction:

I'd totally be OK with the Committee putting GT on the 6 line to get Lavagirl in Gainesville.

Also maybe if Hawaii played better they could host theirselves and wouldn’t have to worry about traveling anywhere? Stop complaining about someone giving us time out of their day to do these, for free…

It's not a lava red, though, and she seems to be letting it grow out.

Why does it matter how many times he changes it ?

GT in Rice's section would be spicy.
