Yeah, that was ugly. Georgia throttled Hawaii and made Warriors QB Colt Brennan look like a whipping boy who couldn't handle big-time games or teams, therefore meaning he won't be an NFL prospect. We disagree and here's why.

Hawaii spent a season putting up unfathomable numbers against incapable opponents, and when suddenly facing with a team that's actually ranked among the top 50 (or, in this case, top 5), Georgia stuck an apple in their mouth, then glazed and roasted them while tourists danced about in grass skirts. And now, in light of the pounding that Hawaii took in the Sugar Bowl...Georgia Puts Hawaii in Their Place

The Rose Bowl did nothing wrong and doesn't need to apologize for their decision. What decision was that you ask? Their decision to invite Illinois to play the Pac-10 champion USC instead of the more popular Georgia or Missouri.
