Dick Tomey: Best wishes for a complete recovery from your health problem.
Best wishes to Coach Tomey. He helped found the “Ohana” brand of character to the program that Coach Rolovich has expound upon. Tough, no nonsense, yet soft hearted guy. Get Well Coach.
Much aloha to Coach Tomey and ohana. Get well coach!
My coach, and the guy that both took the program to the next level and placed it on the map. Under Tomey, UH football was the hottest ticket in the islands, bar none. Prayers to this icon of UH sports…
My best to Coach Tomey on his treatment and recovery .
Big time defense for the win, coach Tomey!
Aloha and best wishes to coach Tomey for a full recovery.
Best Wishes for Dick Tomey!
Get Well, Coach!
I lost a friend last month to lung cancer that went undiagnosed until it had metastasized (stage 4). Hopefully, Tomey’s cancer was diagnosed early and treatment will be successful. Healing thoughts to coach and his family.
My all-time favorite UH coach. Best wishes for a complete recovery.
My all time favorite UH football coach. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Praying for a speedy recovery for this beloved coach!
You can beat this Coach …
Best wishes Coach! Prayers for my favorite Coach.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery Coach; I had the honor to meet you at last year’s UNLV pregame tailgate. Yes, you were the coach that put UH on the map with your great defenses and innovative offenses!
63-46-3.
That’s not easy. Dick Tomey amassed this record when the whole state cared about the program.
Get well, Coach Tomey.
Desert Swarm!
Cool guy…actually drive an old VW beetle…green one at that !
Good luck Coach!
Yet another battle for Coach Tomey to beat. Best wishes.

This scripture comforted me every day at Queen’s Cancer Center where
I recently was.
This past season’s UH vs. SJSU Spartans football game being replayed on Spectrum digital channel 1215 right now. 4th OT, no less.
Woah. The different thoughts you have watching the replay.
Something wrong with the officials? Two obvious defensive pass interference penalties…no call.
Hope this officiating crew don’t work the bowl game.
I once told my supervisor five years ago that Tom Brady would still be an effective quarterback. He responded sarcastically, “Oh, you must be Mrs. Tom Brady.”
I am short and look like I collect comic books, but sometimes I’m right.
I wish there was a new topic. No disrespect to Dick Tomey.
Brady will be discussed as one of the best. Don’t root for the Patriots much but the man is a great QB.
24. I didn’t see the whole game, but Brady seemed to have all day to pass. The OL is great too.
To draw a parallel, the Rams made one BIG adjustment in the first half and that was to go to hurry up “O”. That adjustment alone sparked the Rams lethargic offense. Barring the noise and distractions of playing in that dome and Bree’s lack of arm strength, it woke them up. Maybe the UH system picked that strategy up. ADJUSTMENTS CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE and can be the difference in winning more games. Question is if the UH “O” coaching is up to the task. Lets face it, UH went to the run and shoot to outscore and out finesse everybody it plays, not out muscle them !!!
Forgot to mention the “Missed Call” and were lucky to win that game but the Rams kept themselves in it. Of course the world’s books were happy that the Rams won, Big Bucks!
#26:
La Tech 3 DL certainly emphasized the importance of “strength” of the OL as they came busting through to smash UH’s QBs
now, how will UH strength coordinators improve their strength?
maybe the OL coach should talk to Akebono or Musashimaru to techniques for lower and upper body strength
by chance, did anyone watch the total lunar eclipse last night about 7:30 pm?
us lucky Windwardnites got really lucky as the clouds disappeared and we got to witness a once-in-a-life time event
kinda spooky as the moon turned a light bloody red as the eclipse started but changed and the moon was really bright — moon itself seemed extra large — bloody red color appeared again at total eclipse — beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!
I also thought the DB’s hit on the Saints receiver was an interference — yet, looking at the replay, it seemed the ball was too far to the right and an uncatchable ball — Saints receiver seemed to be falling backwards before the hit — maybe, that’s what the 2 closest refs saw too.
2 consecutive OT game for each division championship — now, how/what to bet in Vegas for the Super Bowl — maybe, taking Rams and points with an “over” bet can win someone $$$ — Rams DL seemed awfully strong
If you think we have problems here, UConn had a $40 million deficit last year. It’s a little easier to figure out how to cover $2 million than to make up $40 million.
islandman…yes, the patriots OL is great. I believe you take a good QB and put him behind a great OL and you got a winning combination. Take a great QB and a Great OL…you got championship caliber.
Patriot D is good too. Total team game.
Mahomes need not hang his head…did some fantastic things. Love watching this QB.
Feeling bad for the Saints though….both games were good ones.
Prayers to you, Coach Tomey. You brought the fun long balling with Duva to Richards after the broken tie rod shimmy of a hula T.
Regarding #28, A House…Akebono is still hospitalized going on almost two years. Too bad.

Several other links to other articles at the end of the post. Google Translate needed but does a decent job with them as they are links to Japanese articles.
31. NCAA FY 2017 report says UConn’s athletic program received $42.2 million in institutional support and student fees. In 2018, that figure for UConn was $38.5 million.
UH received $20.4 million institutional and student fee support for FY 2017. That means our athletic department is being subsidized or supported by that amount.
According to a Hartford Courant Jan 17 article, UConn lost $8.7 million from its football program in 2018.
#34 I’m not sure what you are getting at. In the end, UConn had $81 million in expenses and a $40 million deficit. UH had a nearly $1.9 million deficit in FY 2018. It’s simple math, it’s easier for a school to figure out how to cover $2 million than $40 million. The sky is not falling.
36 Our “‘deficit” was $21.6 million for FY 2017, because UH had $48.9 million in Expenses and $27.3 in Revenues. Our deficit was reduced by the upper campus and state support of $20.4 million.
UConn received $42.2 million in that kind of support in FY 2017.
To clarify, in most instances, student fees and state support, are considered “line-item revenue stream” items.
38. So then for UConn, their deficit was about $ 2.5 million. Revenues $ 40 million + 38. 5 million minus Expenses of $81 million = $2.5 million deficit.
However, the goal is to reduce the amount of upper campus support required by increasing the other revenue sources..
Only two dozens school operate in the black, and that figure may now be currently obsolete given currently market conditions.
Only 24 FBS schools generated more revenue than they spent in 2014, according to the NCAA Revenues and Expenses of Division I Intercollegiate Athletics Programs Report. That figure jumped from 20 schools in 2013, but it has remained relatively consistent through the past decade.
Though the number of athletics departments reporting positive net generated revenues has increased slightly, the average of their net generated revenue has dipped in the past year. Those 24 schools, at the median, generated about $6 million in net revenue, compared to just over $8 million in 2013 and a little more than $2 million a decade ago.
But those 24 schools are a minority. Many more schools saw their expenses exceed their revenue, requiring their colleges and universities to cover the shortfall. The median FBS school spent $14.7 million to help subsidize its athletics department in 2014, up from a little more than $11 million in 2013. That level of spending isn’t unique to FBS schools – median Football Championship Subdivision and non-football schools spent roughly $11 million to help fund athletics in 2014.
“There is still a misperception that most schools are generating more money than they spend on college athletics,” said NCAA Chief Financial Officer Kathleen McNeely. “These data show once again that the truth is just the opposite. “
If anything, UH is pretty much the norm …
40. Many are under the impression that UH athletics receives only about $3 million from the state.
It received in FY 2017 $20.4 million from upper campus and the state to support the programs.
Well, I would think so; it’s the flagship university in a state system with a very small media market.
If you were to peruse this document carefully, it clearly shows that for most all similar situated institutions, that large direct institutional support is not just common, it’s the rule—http://www.ncaa.org/sites/default/files/2017DIRES_Division_I_Financial_PPT_%20web_version_20180125.pdf
The immediate goal for UH is to cover the operating deficit, which was the directive of the Board of Regents several years ago and is perpetually the concern of both upper campus and the auditors. The next step is to operate at a surplus to establish reserves an to then hopefully reduce the amount of support from upper campus, but no one seems to have the long range vision on how to do this.
The people above Dole St have to commit some support as some of the work done in lower campus is in general support of the school and in buildings that are not athletic facilities. Generally this is landscaping and janitorial (you don’t want lower campus to look like trash and drive away students, not to mention prospective recruits).
Feels like we are comparing avocados and mangoes in this discussion. Financially, athletics is not where anyone wants to be and I think we are in agreement on that.
43. It also shows a school like UC Irvine receives a smaller amount of university support / funds than UH does and UCI does not have football.
An article also said UConn lost $ 8 million on football in 2018. So no guarantee that a football program will support your other sports.
I think my point is that there no real model for much of this, as only a handful of schools actually operate in the black, and many of those schools are outliers as they operate from either an existing endowment of athletics or singular TV contracts and revenues. That said, what is most common and apparent to me, is that an athletic program, especially one that is part of a state university system, is at once tethered and predicated on large support from both the institution and that of the respective state.
