Hawaii to play Colorado in 2010
Hawaii will play a four-game series with Colorado in football starting with a road affair in 2010.
"We're not completely set on the date, but it looks like Sept. 18," UH athletic director Herman Frazier said.
The Warriors will also open the season with a home game against the Buffaloes in 2011. That game is set for Sept. 3 at Aloha Stadium.
The dates and years for the other two games are to be determined, Frazier said.
Frazier also confirmed that in 2008 the Warriors will play a road game at Oregon State on Sept. 13, two weeks after opening the season at Florida.
