UH and Army Agree to 4-Game Series

Great news from HawaiiAthletics.com:

The University of Hawai‘i and Army have agreed to a four-game home-and-home football series beginning in 2010, UH Athletics Director Jim Donovan and Army Athletics Director Kevin Anderson announced on Tuesday. The Warriors and Black Knights have met once prior in 2003.

The series begins on Sept. 11, 2010 in West Point, N.Y., and continues Nov. 30, 2013 in Honolulu, Sept. 15, 2018 in West Point and concludes on Nov. 30, 2019 in Honolulu.

“We’re very pleased to have this home and home arrangement with Army put in place,” Donovan said. “With Rich Ellerson being a former UH football player and now head coach at Army, it adds even more to this series besides the fact that its an academy school and those programs always draw well in Hawai‘i. I’m glad we were able to get it done and we’re looking forward to some great games.”

After UH's 2010 home opener vs USC, looks like it'll be back-to-back road games at West Point and Colorado, unless things are being switched around. Just hope the WAC will keep that in mind! Woops, nevermind, there's a home game with UNLV after that road trip.

UPDATE: Fun fact -- The distance between Honolulu, HI and West Point, NY is approximately 4954 miles.
