Why do Hawaii's NCAA sports teams do so well at home?
I can't accept that jet lag could be that much of an issue for visiting teams because traveling from east-to-west is never as much of a problem as going in the opposite direction... I don't see how the weather is an issue either. I could see where the Miami Dolphins would be at a disadvantage playing the Packers in Green Bay in the middle of December, but...come on, this is Hawaii. Sure it's a long flight...but don't the teams fly out three days beforehand to give themselves time to rest before the game? ...and don't the opposition coaches forbid their players from spending the night before the game boozing till 3 AM on Waikiki Beach?

This should be in sports, not travel.

Hawaii has excellent athletes thanks to favorable all-weather climate. Most of their schools play in small, packed gyms. Plus, the scenery is likely distracting even to the most disciplined teams. UVA, a #1 ranked team, lost to a Hawaiian school in 1983.
