HONOLULU – University of Hawai'i Athletics Director Jim Donovan announced the addition of Lamar to complete the 2012 football schedule. The Warriors and Cardinals will meet Saturday Sept. 15, 2012 at Aloha Stadium.

 

Lamar will field its first football team in 21 years in 2010 and will compete in the Southland Conference of the Football Championship Subdivision. Hawai'i and Lamar will play for the first time on the football field.

 

With the addition of Lamar in 2012, UH has completed schedules for the next two seasons and needs one more game for 2013 and two more each in 2014 and 2015. The game also follows Donovan's philosophy of scheduling two BCS conference quality teams, two mid-major conference teams, and one FBS team each season.

 

The 2012 schedule includes road games at USC (Sept. 1) and Brigham Young (Sept. 8) to open the season and home games against Lamar (Sept. 15), UNLV (Sept. 22) and Western Kentucky (Dec. 1).
