Hawaii has gone Alabama crazy, and everyone is Tua's cousin
(http://media.al.com/sports_impact/photo/tua-is-my-cousin-thumbjpg-eaa79fecf803e631.jpg)Turns out, the biggest celebration of Alabama's stunning national championship the night of the game might not have happened in the state of Alabama. Or even the continental United States.

"When Tua won the national championship, it's kind of like the whole island won the national championship," said Adam Amosa-Tagovailoa, an offensive tackle for Navy, and another of Tua's cousins. "Everyone was so proud."

It's almost like everyone in Hawaii, on that one night, was a part of Tua's extended family. Only here's the thing. When everybody in Hawaii awoke the next day, a lot of people literally started claiming to be a part of Tua's family. Tua has over 40 first cousins, but the day after he became the hero of Hawaii he might have had 4,000.

"It got kind of crazy back home," said Diane Tagovailoa, Tua's mother.

So many people started saying they were related to Tua, that the phrase "Tua is my cousin" has become something of a running joke on the island. Some hilarious sketch comedy has popped up on YouTube, and, according to Diane, people have started making "Tua's my cousin" T-shirts.

My wife and I are going to Hawaii for our 25th anniversary this summer. I plan on wearing some Bama shirts, getting some Roll Tides, and claiming to be his uncle. :)

Other than the word "crazy" in the title, this thread seemed normal at one time.

I'll claim him. If someone asks, I'll claim he is from South Hawaii.

If we'd made a comeback last night, I was ready to print "Lawson is my cousin" t-shirts.
