The 2016 season begins with a scheduling oddity. A week before everyone else kicks off, Cal and Hawaii meet Aug. 26 in Sydney, Australia, a city that has never hosted a college football game.
If a historic trip Down Under isn't unusual enough, Hawaii then travels nearly 9,500 miles to Ann Arbor, Michigan, to play the Wolverines. After returning to Oahu -- a mere 4,440 miles from the Big House -- for the home opener against Tennessee-Martin, Hawaii crosses the Pacific yet again to visit Arizona on Sept. 17.
Mercifully, a bye week arrives to salvage what's left of the Bows' body clocks.
