Game day: San Jose State
The old man must be snoring because it’s been raining (islandwide) and pouring (on the Windward side) the past three days.
It it keeps up, expect a running battle. In what appears to be this season’s theme, the Warriors will face another quality running back. Tyler Ervin is a quick and tough runner who also is a threat as a receiver and returner.
The Warriors might utilize the ground game more because 1) There’s no experienced quarterback behind starter Ikaika Woolsey, 2) Paul Harris has been on a tear the past two games, and 3) A ball-control offense will help a defense that was on the field for 93 plays (including seven plays that did not count officially because of penalties).

Oh, if we had a dollar for every clever person who says tonight: “There were more people at the Saint Louis-Kahuku game last night … “
Then again, I remember the late 1970s when the Oahu Prep Bowl used to draw more than 30,000.
One year, I think it was the Punahou-Waianae game in ’77, our social club had to help clean Aloha Stadium. (Here’s the trick: Sweep the rubbish forward until there are huge piles in the front row, then gather the trash and place them in garbage bags.) We left the stadium sometime around 3 in the morning.
But, alas, like all good clubs, we did make the “friendship circle.” (Yes, kids, go ask somebody old who went to a town school about social clubs.)
Guud Morning Tsaikos…bootiful day.
Great games last night. Hail to the Red Raiders!…magnificent effort! The Northside is where it’s at!
IMUA WARRIORS!
Interesting game. Old style smash mouth football. run, run, run, run…das how they used to play it long ago.
I love football, look forward to the start of the season, but the rainbow warriors have been so bad I just want this season to be over. Hopefully the kane and wahine basketball teams do well.
The weather seems to match the mood of things. However, I still look at the effort given by the players. Julian Gener is an example of a student-athlete who could have just given up, but he’s still out there giving his all, in spite of the losing record, fan disinterest, and Pilikia. Gener, and others like him are the type of people you will see get ahead in life with that type of attitude, long after football is done. That’s just what I see.
Stephen: Social Clubs? Like da “Sweet and Sour Delights?”
I’m taking Kahuku tonight over San Jose State 39-14

I guess cappie is voting for Jasper.
I want to beat Boise.
There is this extremely obnoxious guy on SI.com named “Howard” who is so pro-SEC. This has got to be eating him alive.
Florida Atlantic runs the spread.
They have an option component, right?
I am sitting in a library.
I can’t see what Florida Atlantic looks like.
Not sure, but isn’t Cal Lee 1 year from being “vested” for state retirement? Depending on who is the head coach, would he consider returning to UH as an assistant coach? I didn’t want to say anything before their big game because of the distraction that it may lead to.
Talk about imposing their will on a team. Kahuku must have been fired up all night long. One of my basketball buddies skipped the Wahine’s game to watch his alma mater St. Louis. He was kinda sour grapes about it this morning said the Saint’s offense came in over confident and got knocked out….like Rousey. He is convinced the Saints would reverse the score if there were a rematch.
Papajoe2 #12.
Cal is the king at St. Louis and in the eyes of prep football in Hawaii. He would be trading his crown for a lesser position. He’s a big fish in a smaller pond now. He just got back with St. Louis and I think it would be detrimental for him to leave again. He’s 69 years old. It may be his last job before he retires.
As a St. Louis alum, I for one would like to see him stay.
The Rainbow Warrior team has played 4 years with a pretty much constant influx of new coaches and new approaches. I was pretty disappointed to hear the Sports Animals (mostly CH) complaining about how players had given up and were not playing hard. Considering the number of Rainbow Warriors that have been injured this season, that just sounds like more shifting of blame from the UH leaders that failed to provide adequate coaching support to the players for the last 4 years. I hope the team goes out and does their best for these next two games, and think they deserve a lot of thanks for sticking with the program.
8. …Option offense at G. Tech (Paul Johnson) flexbone being bent out of shape, loses again (Miami 38-21). 3-8, 1-6 ACC, last place in Coastal Division.
16.
I know.
Paul Johnson has only two transcendent years at Georgia Tech.
If this was his won-loss record last year, after a slew of 6 and 7 win seasons, he would definitely be on the hot seat.
Point taken.
No argument.
I watched half (on and off) of the Air Force at Boise game last night. Great win by AFA on Boise’s blue turf! If AFA didn’t get picked off 4 times in the 2nd half, they might have been able to hang 50 points on Boise. Flashback to the UH-AFA game… Norm Chow can take a little solace in the fact that it was not a total implosion by UH– mostly a big explosion by AFA.
Coach Naole please play wr’s ryan pasoquen, ammon barker, rb ‘s justin vele, pereese joas, lb’s mageo, furuta – these guys are making plays during fall camp.
Go Warriors
Regarding increasing student fees to fund UH sports (but let’s be honest, football), let’s remember that when a state agrees to establish a university, it enters into a service industry: i.e., the taxpayers act at the behest of the students and faculty.
The implicit assumption in the creation of a state university is the students and faculty will improve society at large and the taxpaying citizens will assume the costs associated with the agreement.
The prevailing model of universities is broad, sweeping independence: this assures faculty members that political influence large and small will not hinder the pursuit of intellectual development.
Given these parameters, Hawaii’s taxpayers either need to decide they no longer wish to have a university because these terms are largely immutable.
Sports are an ancillary proposition that may be maintained by a university when funds permit. In Hawaii, they currently do not, and I have long argued, they will not under the current trends (crushing state pension obligations, constantly shrinking tax base, and an aging population on a fixed income, etc).
Students cannot be seen as walking ATM machines to fund the frivolous entertainment of others. Many students in Hawaii are low income, single parents, veterans, and/or otherwise financially constrained. Others have parents who are stretched thin trying to afford an opportunity to improve their child’s life. Very few students at UH are well heeled enough to reach into their pocket to pay for your entertainment.
A state university is a service industry; you are here to serve its customers and those customers are the students.
18. …. Air Force had more yards passing than Boise 279 to 237, including two long TD passes of 67 and 51 yds. Total net yds. 607 to 378 .
Washington up 28-0 over Oregon State at the end of the first quarter. Peterson looking good this week. Curious if halftime adjustments will doom the Huskies like last week. Same players in both halves, but day and night performance differences. Sure hope AD Matlin picks wisely.
Things to say if you want to hurt your draft stock.
“A fired-up Ezekiel Elliott talked about playing hurt, ripped the Ohio State play calling and then said this was his last home game with the program. “There’s no chance I’m coming back next year.””
Pereese!
Hoping the boy put on a show for those of us that show up tonight.
Entire Kahuku football team shows up tonight to support the UH football team

Mageo!
What a game going on, Miss State at Arkansas. Exciting bad to back scoring. Now this is uptempo O, UH OC could learn something, but too late. The Warriors need about 30 TDs in the next 2 games to get to the 75 TD goal.
Have to repost had the wrong email. What a game going on with Miss State at Arkansas. Exciting back to back scoring, worth watching. Now this is uptempo O, UH OC could learn something, but too late. Warriors need to score about 30 TDs in the next 2 games to get to the 75 TD goal.
Wow, 14 total TDs between the 2 teams. Miss State by 1, blocked Arkansas short field goal attempt with about 41 seconds left. Interesting is that Arkansas ran 3 straight plays up the middle to have MSU burn all 3 of its timeouts and keep the ball in the middle of the field. Hey Chow, guess the positioning of the ball for the short kick important enough for the Razorbacks; but not for you the anointed supposed know it all.
Already down 7-0…let’s see what kind of character this team has.
Wow, gets stripped of the ball…no discipline.
4 seasons of putting up with this … I think the team has plenty of character. When UH leadership decided not to invest in the team 4 years ago, they set the ball in motion. It isn’t on the players.
We stink.
I’d like to thank the previous seach committee for this years team
Wow, we’re terrible. Fumbles seem to be normal.
Bring in Beau
We’re punting…we stink.
San Jose St. 2 touches, 2 TDs.
Hawaii 2 touches, 1 fumble and 1 punt
Bring in Beau !!!
Woolsey is not the answer for QB. Should be interesting next year as to who will be QB.
UH has to stop the outside plays. Their getting beaten out there all year.
3 touches, 3 TDs…this game is over.
Bring in Beau !!!
Looks like SJSU is playing 7 on 7 against us SMH… C mon UH!!!
Seems we are getting beat deep over and over and over again.
Do we have a defensive back coach ?
Nice pass play on first down.. Next play.. Run up the middle SMH.. C mon offense!
MAKA.. I don’t think we got a DB coach. #1 for UH gives up TD after TD every week yet he starts every game SMH
Someone on yesterday’s blog suggested increasing ticket prices and Oceanic PPV to help with the deficit.
For this?
If UH gave away 50,000 free tickets, you still wouldn’t see a sell out crowd.
Yes, this team is 4 years in the making.
After watching last nights HS championship game.. I think VaVae Tata should be on the UH staff as a defensive coordinator or hopefully head coach.. His defense was lights out & he did it in his first season. JMO
Hawaii defense can’t make a stop. Hawaii offense can’t score.
We are getting blown out by a crappy team.
I hope Bailey and Mason enjoyed their week off.
This is getting embarrassing.. I don’t think we will win our game next neither
Bring in Beau !!
As I recall, Hawaii (under Chow) has lost to every MWC team that finished their season with 3 or more conference wins (and I think they only beat one team with 2 wins). SJSU currently has 3 MWC wins.
Does Ikaika have a relative living in LV betting against us?
Bring in Beau already…
Even interception, was a good drive.
They just did not end it right.
Of course he’d throw a pick to end the best drive of the night. Let’s see what Reilly can do already
Warrior Fan – agree with you.
The last game is in jeopardy now, if this continues.
Beau’s a right winger he can’t throw to the far left
No one will be open
Put in Mageo.
Close your eyes time.
They in a passing mode.
No worries , this is going to be the greatest comeback in UH history
Lets’ see – new math – 7 x 5 = 35 for first half.
7 x 5 = 35 second half.
14 x 5 = 70 end of game.
Or maybe something like that.
Do we have real defensive backs or do we just have folks in uniforms on the field? Wow, this is really embarrassing.
We need a whole lot of Kleenex for this blog. I get it, we suck. But what’s up with all the crying.
C mon defense. I mean 13 seconds left, SJSU has no timeouts remaining.. We should’ve known they were going to do a play action pass because they wouldn’t take the risks of getting stopped on the run & not have enough time to bring the FG unit on..
Forget JJ. This team needs Nick Saban
New QB? Something? Anything?
Can we get Vai Tata to run the defense the next game.
We need to recruit.
808: That was me. The best is yet to come for this team but they need financial support in order to get there. You cant expect the cart to get there before the horse.
Looks like another rough night tonight at Aloha but a new coach is in the works…
Let’s Go Bows!
It’s just awful already.
To top it off can’t even find the game anywhere on the internet. I guess no one wants to waste their broadband carrying the game–this team is that bad. There are some good, some great players, but a god awful team.
Yep, bring Saban. Maybe Pete Carroll. Wow, complete overhaul is needed. Don’t know if anyone can fix this funk. Yikes.
I am a fan and will still support the team, even this bad. It is after all the only team that we have.
We stay winning?
1/2 time I switch the station. All I here is Potter this Potter that. They got to change everything. Even the announcers. Will switch back later. Just don’t want to listen to the ….
At least for me, the takeaway for this is that AD Matlin needs to convince UH leadership that trying to fix UH football on the cheap will more than likely fail, and result in further losses … both win-wise and finance-wise. AD’s Donovan and Ben Jay no doubt tried and certainly failed to convince them to open the purse strings. I wouldn’t want to guess what the lowest attendance will be next year if a solid coaching staff isn’t hired. A name people know for head coach won’t be enough if we don’t get wins next year.
I will just watch the oline. Seem to be the ones worth watching.
#79 – Nope.
# 78- Nope. Sorry.
it’s half time…plea prep Beau, things cannot be any worse.
might as well go high school style and let the seniors and scout team guys play already
Bruce Barnum, HC Portland State (9-2). His PSU team also beat FBS schools Waazu and North Texas (66-7) this season. Barnum currently earns $187,000.
80, agree with all your points.
Awwwww junk!
TD Warriors! Good job O line & Paul Harris!
TD!
Oline was firing out opening some holes for Harris on that TD.
Somebody call up Vae Tata to run our defense!
Onside kick & we recover! Let’s go Warriors!!
Tago looked just like Leonard Peters on that play SMH
Be like Paul, y’all!
GO WARRIORS!!!
It’s been about 43 years of watching UH Rainbows/Warriors football, 40 of these in person. The last 3 have been via the tube, PPV and Nattional TV. IMO Woolsey is the 2nd worst UH QB I have seen. The only one a peg below on the bottom rung would be Alex Kaloi and that broken down Hula (Model) T offense. Woolsey gets the edge because he is faster and can run a bit. This is embarrassing, but not unexpected after seeing the Spartans 4 times on TV and each time they seem to be a little bit better. Tonight is a contrast of two teams moving in very different directions.
Bring in Reilly already. We already know what Ikaika can’t do.
Beau knows
OMG! 3rd & 17 and they convert SMH.. Why aren’t we bringing the house on 3rd & long .. C mon Mason!!
Here’s a little reminder of what a June Jones offense can bring ro Hawaii again.
http://youtu.be/vBdTA2Hm0i0
No to JJ.. Kalani Sitake or Salavea.. Bring on Vae Tata for our DC..
Refs still no like UH.
We need a defensive minded coach. Wonder if Tata applied.
Sorry 3 prong, those days are long gone. Every defense in nation plays against a wide open attack these days. Those days wour offense was more on the unique side. It’s gonna come down to recruiting for whoever the next coach is, not schemes. IMO. For recruits, we are going to have to go all in. Better facilities, huge ocean fronting stadium or something, better campus and classrooms. Etc. My friend had an idea I thought was cool. Build a new stadium inside diamond Head. That would b cool. Imagine the rumble coming from within the crater? Volcanic eruption!
Lance Williams has hurt us on a few occasions. Discipline not there.
TD! Hey I’ll take it lol! Stubblefield with the after burners!!
Hmmmm, apologies to Mr d1 okole for those tickets I donated to you tonight. Must be rough out there…. Thank you for supporting our boys though.
102.. I’m thinking the same as you.. Tata looks like a good candidate!
Reilly is warming up..
If the defense cannot hold it would be that every time SJSU touched the ball they have scored a TD. Wow, awful defense to this point. Can they stop them?
We get to see their punter.
Hey I think Tom Mason read my comment about bringing the pressure on 3rd & long lol
left before the half again!
just awful offensive and defensive play calling – offense up the middle, up the middle – defense seemed to be in the wrong alignment many times — where are the 4 LBers??? many calls only 1ILB or none over the middle? where is the “safety on the long passes?
SJS tailback is running along the LOS to is right – UH LB & safety standing there like stones — pass to RB for a long gain! and SJS QB up the empty middle for 2 TD and long runs — OC an DC must go along with all the position coaches — oh, forgot they already received their termination papers
Naole calls the team over after the 4th TD and yelling at the players for 35 seconds then walks away — he should have told the players those who don’t have the will to play and play smart and hard — leave the bench and walk to the lockers – remove your uniforms and catch a ride back to UH on their own – same goes for the coaches – nothing to lose
#99 is young and does not possess the strength nor skill to break away from the LT who grads his jersey above the numbers and controls his movements — totally ineffective except, perhaps, valuable experience — same goes for #96
on the 4th TD, I don’t know what the defensive call was, but the entire DL was moving back and forth along the LOS, no attempt to penetrate to the QB who has all the time to hit his WR in the corner of the end zone.
is it the coaches who don’t know how to teach or the players who aren’t really D1 caliber or worse a combo ?
this season, after the last 3, have been so FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I go to work on Mondays with mental fatigue.
those players not pulling their weight and strut around cause they play should look into a mirror and see that they are here because NO Power5 or MWC team wanted them — wait, did you say “harsh”? — no it’s REALITY!!!!!!!!!!!!
we are giving away, if we are lucky, 6 tickets to the last game – any takers??????
Hawaii get chance
The rain stopped and now the comeback
I’m thankful UH next game is Saturday and not Thursday
Hawaii wins last game… No worry we got this one
Aranda interested? HMMM! What kind of O will he bring with him. JJ OC? HHMM? It would fill the stadium instantly! Just an opinion.
this is the worst coaching !! from top to the bottom !! hawaii seem like only has 5 plays in the play book !! run up the middle if works same play again !! the head coach try to win !! hello was a blow out aready at half !! shame on you not getting Reilly in the game
Hawaii will be playing Louisiana Monroe for the Bottom 10 championship next Saturday. Put your money on the home team to stink up the joint. After we lost big leads to New Mexico and Nevada I said we will not win another game. So far, I’ve been correct. The bad thing is that a lot of fans didn’t want to go to the stadium anymore. It’s very pathetic. We can only hope that next year will will have renewed conviction that things will get better. It can’t get any worse than now.
JMHO, Ikaika tries, but he’s not the answer for our QB. If he’s the starting QB next year, we will get the same results.
We are probably the worst team in all of college football currently. Looking forward to next year. Aloha!
Small but loyal crowd. There wasn’t a mass exodus at the end of the 3 Q like there was at most other games. People left in trickles throughout the 2nd half but a good %age of the crowd that was there at the start was there at the end.
118.
McKenzie Milton was offered a scholarship to the Naval Academy.
He can back-up Woolsey if AD Matlin hires their offensive coordinator.
New Mexico let me down today, but The Citadel and Georgia Southern(in defeat) who otherwise would have no business being in a competitive game against SEC competition, did so, because the triple option, when run right, is the great equalizer.
Woolsey throws like an option quarterback.
No knock on our QB corp but in my opinion whoever the next coach is has to either be a QB whisperer who can coach up the returnees and the current commit (Milton) or be able to bring a savvy QB who can run his system. My thought is we haven’t had good QB play under Chow. His three transfer starters didn’t have a lot of experience coming in and didn’t show much poise when facing live bullets. This is Ikaika’s 2nd go around but still hasn’t shown he has command of his position. He has yet to show he can lead. May be for him a third time will be a charm.
No matter whom is chosen as the next head coach, I hope he runs an offense that can utilize Zwahlen’s talent (providing he doesn’t transfer). As a top 150 player on ESPN’s 300, Zwahlen has the best credentials coming out of high school of all the QBs on the team. I’d like to see him develop under a system that fits his skill set. He could be a four-year starter.
No to JJ. But if its between JJ n the triple option. JJ by a million miles. We have been put to sleep for 4yrs. Don’t want to sleep any longer. Triple option is flat out booooring.
Of the 11,625 turnout for last nights thriller at Aloha Stadium
How much were San Jose State fans
My observations:
While tailgating my friends and I realized that these people among us are not the bandwagon fans. I was shocked to see Zwhalen suited up. I guess emergency QB situation. The coaching staff was willing to burn his red shirt. I just watched the post game interviews and some of the assistant coaches are being accused of checking out as well. I don’t know what to say anymore. This was not a good San Jose team, but we made them look like it. I didn’t think the program couldn’t dig itself into a deeper hole. This one hurt, but team stayed out for Alma Mater. To all the die hard Warrior fans one more game till we can close out the Norm Chow era, but I’m starting to think we will see the remenents of his destruction for a few more seasons. Try to stay positive, Aloha

Re: Ikaika Woolsey
This was from Hawaiiathletics.com:
“…rated as the No. 7 pro-style quarterback nationally and the 101st-ranked recruit in the state of California by 247sports.com…”
With the right coaching, he could have been a good QB. Instead, like the rest of this team, they are not playing to their full potential. I hope the next HC brings in proven assistant coaches at the WR, QB positions. Heck, I hope all the coaches are experienced coaches.
For the grad assistants, let them start at the bottom. The primary question to the other coaches every morning before practice should be, “How do you want your coffee, with cream or without cream?”
Grad assistants will eventually be assistant coaches. But, they should never be called upon to handle more than they can deliver. There is one positive to this team. In several weeks, a new HC will be chosen.
The next coach needs to be a rebuilder, and not just of the football tream, but a rebuilder of the relationship between community, University, and the State Governemnt which needs to subsidize the program like all the other Mountain West Conference states do– or just forget the idea of a football tem. The next coach needs to recruit– primarily in Hawaii, it will not help to bring in someone who recruits Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Ohio– because once they get here, they will be cutoff from the ability to keep in touch with recruits and high school programs there and compete with the coaches who recruit these areas everyday year-round. You must recruit Hawaii successfully or you will never have a successful program– no program can recruit enough quality players a few days a year from 2500-5,000 miles away– you might try a handful, but not the numbers you need for success.
We are all gonna die and go to hell-no just need a new coach staf and a good recruiting class or 2. With the attendance so low no moral victory but UNLV vs SDSU had 14k, Nevada vs Utah State 18k both on Senior night. Lotsa building to do but it will get done. How bout a win against UL Monroe-
Oregon OC Scott Frost has done a good job with one and done transfer Vernon Adams (from EWU) after the Ducks shaky start (4-3, now 8-3) this season. I wonder if Frost would be interested? Wouldn’t hurt to at least ask. Ikaika could surprise many with the right position coach in 2016.
Speaking of EWU, they just finished their season at 6-5 (admittedly a down year after winning the Big Sky the past 3 seasons) and I wonder if their head coach might be making a trip here for some business?
Under all of the gloom, UH does have a near 1,000 yard RB in Paul Harris. Props to Paul and his effort! The next coaching staff will need to utilize Paul to take advantage of his talent. Someone to build things on. RS Freshman LB Jahlani Tavai also showed what he’s capable of. Julian Gener led the team in tackles, once again.
As this season comes to a painful end, it seems the weaknesses were in the play calling and coaching staff. Air Force, a running team, passes for 279 yds against Boise St. and most of the passes are lob passes where the receiver is fairly wide open. In the Warrior scheme, receivers are being tackled as they try to make the catch. Our Warrior players are as physical and talented as others in the MWC but even Buckeyes talent can’t win without the right calls and in the right position to succeed (E. Elliot).
ASUH doing anything to drum up support for the team among the students? Too busy playing video games? At least the team gathered to sing the alma mater after last night’s game.
The o-line is finally coming into their own. Harris’s numbers are a result of a better run blocking effort. There are some positives. If our receivers could have gotten better separation and caught the ball, we could have been better. Unfortunately, we were not on the same page all year.
I like Naeole. If he had a stronger supporting crew, who knows what could have happened.
Regarding the student engagement, even though I think he is a little crazy….PJ Fleck of Western Michigan wants to meet each and every student to engage them in supporting the program-realize it is lofty goal but intentions are good. Regarding Paul Harris he might exceed 1100 yards with a good performance against UL Monroe. For you long time supporters he is very close to the 2nd coming of Albert Holmes. A speed back who runs rather upright with scooting spin ability who can cut get free and sprint. He very much resembles Allberts form. Good luck to him and all others in the close out-I too agree there is a lot more to this roster than has been displayed-an awful lot of it youthful and still developing-
This is the year we need the High School All Star team from the mainland to come to Aloha Stadium to take on Hawaii’s best All Star team. I like our chances. Hope it happens, if it does I’ll be in attendance.
Urban Meyer was credited with creating the MUSS at Utah during the 2 years he was there. Now, it’s a major factor at games there. Need a coach who will get out and encourage the students to come to the games. ASUH is lame (to con a term from young folks).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9RLptIehMY
The mainland all stars probably not coming this year. They know the year when Hawaii will be loaded with talent. They will probably send a team the next year
#125. I’d say around 50 or less were sitting in the section reserved for visiting fans.
#129. That’s how he billed coming in. His stature doesn’t fit the mode of the classic stand in the pocket and deliver the ball pro-style QB like Grahma and Wittek. He’s just over 6 ft you’d think he’d more of a gamer type like Moniz and Graves. I’ll repeat myself when I say he has a low aptitude for extending plays and a low aptitude for running. Naeole was pretty blunt today in Rearson’s article. In regards to Woolsey he said something like – “he’s a tough kid but he doesn’t play smart.”
Surprised Reilly didn’t get any play time when the game was firmly out of reach just so he can get some experience in case Woolsey gets injured in the last game.
Will be interesting to see who ends up transferring after this season. Something tells me there are quite a few players that are unhappy.
141,
That may be so. But, with good coaching, players can play above what they are capable of playing. It’s not like he came into the program a scrub.
UH can bring in all the talent they want. But, with no proper coaching to place them in position to succeed, they will end up with all the potential and nothing to show for it. And, in the end we all will say, well maybe he wasn’t as good as he was billed to be.
Last time LA-Monroe played Hawaii (Vonappen era) was in Nov. 22, 1997 and won 23-20. Hawaii ended up finishing 3-9 record. Statistics look kind of similar with this season.
Iowa State eyeing Kenny Niumatalolo.
http://footballscoop.com/news/where-iowa-state-might-look-for-their-next-head-coach/
With a fired coach, losing record, and pilikia, you have the chance of increased player attrition (based on who the new hire will be), along with academic casualties when players don’t hit the books or let things slide with all of the negativity involved.
Tell fate Yanagi I know her
Tell fate Yanagi I saw her
Sumting lidat
Just tell her show da next game
Any confirmation that Dave Aranda is interested in the job other than the original source of the story?
I haven’t been back on this blog for quite some time. I have to say though, the team has packed it up for the season. Glad I decided to stay home last night. As far as the new couch is concerned, I would like to see June/Rolo/Miano in some way shape or form. They could also bring in former players Chang/Stutzman as young hungry assistants.
My youngest son, and partner for games (we are season ticket holders) is rooting for Niumatulolo/Jasper style offense. He’s 9 and has never seen either offense live ( kids and you tube. lol.)
Great Morning All!
3-Prong,
No problem. We all decided to watch from our usual perch in the EZ….that way the team can only look half bad! 😈
But it was an honor for our gang to be able to get the attendance total into the 11,620’s!
Eh, but how ’bout dem ‘Cats! Dis could be “Da Year” 😀
ST — try collecting from your media colleagues…after all, you predicted it first. 😐
