The issue surrounding UH Football is consistency. An example is Boise State. The Broncos started as a Div. 2 School. Now, they're consistently a top 20 program. Also, when they play schools from BCS conferences, they are competitive, and in some cases, are victorious. Boise has not gone in a downward spiral since their victory against Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. Hawaii on the other hand taken a step backwards after getting beaten badly by the Bulldogs of Georgia in the 2008 Sugar Bowl. In terms of team discipline, the Broncos are like a well oiled machine. I have rarely seen them commit stupid personal foul penalties. UH on the other hand is lacking in this area. Time after time when Hawaii plays BCS schools, they get their behinds served to them on a silver platter.

This is another coach that should be fired. I believe Gib Arnald is a good recruiter because last Years team had Talent but look how they played? That is coaching. My opinion is Gib Arnald sucks as a head coach but like I said he is a good recruiter. Now by saying this lets see how they do this year because they suppose to have a lot of talent this year.

I remember people saying the same thing when Vonoppen was coach? Yes I do believe a new coach needs time but I also believe you need to see how players responds too a coach. You can't be getting waxed by 20 pts almost every game like they did last year and those Von Oppen years. The problem with UH is unlike those top rank schools they take losing where as those top rank schools fire there coaches if they lose. Look at Riley Wallace there is no way he should have been here for 17 yrs.

Now whats the deal with this Kennedy guy out of Waianae, mean if he is as good as coach and all these observer's are saying why did he stay home, or was he even recruited?

Could be another long season for UH. Utah St ain't no push over either.

As for Kennedy he was a beast in high school playing with boys! But I think he might be hurt not sure though.

Will USC cover the 24. Yeah it is now 24!

I hate Normie Chow and his lame offense.

If we didn't fire McMackin, we'd still have Rolovich and Aranda coaching and we'd still be doing the Run N Shoot!

Another thing to consider this year is the teams that are scheduled. There are three or four top 25 teams. I wouldn't be surprised if they go 0 for 4 in the first four games. Good luck coach.

With all these ncaa investigations and the Manziel fiasco going on I'm surprised that to my knowledge there hasn't been a single case recently (last ten years) , where schools have fixed up academic records I say this because, I'm going to use University of Hawaii as an example, to enroll into the University of Hawaii you need to have your math and english be at the 100 level, in math that would be Algebra 2 level, there is a math 100 and that is statistics and probabilities which I don't even think they teach at the high school level and if the math you've taken in high school was like mine you have been thought Algebra, statistics is a totally different animal, it isn't easy. But here's where I think there must be massive improprieties and tons of violations, since every player on the football team is enrolled at U. H. That means every single one of them are at the Pre Calculus level, which is math 135, which is the lowest math the university teaches, there is no way in hell that every player on the team is at minimum ready to take a Pre Calculus class at the university and if they arent how could they even begin to enroll at our university, thats where if the ncaa would look I'm sure that every single school would be in violation, of course every school has differing academic minimums, but why don't they investigate those things instead of accepting money for signing football cards.

Is treating this as a preseason game looking to try different people at different postions to see who plats under fire, shame on them, taking us lightly. We look pretty good defensively I think, but of course that freshman from Waianae, Kennedy got hurt coach say's this kid will be the best Hawaii has had by the time he all said and done, that's saying a lot cause coach doesn't strike me as a flambouyant guy say like the Jets coach, he's rather dull and boring, no nonsense approach. I know he was a dominant player in high school, can he be that as a freshman?

I'd like to believe that we'll be decent this year but realistically I think we wil win 2 maybe 3 games. Got to give coach 5 yrs minimum to build up our team. But who knows.
