Aloha means Las Cruces

First!

Morning…

Ohayoooooooooooooogozaimasu!!!!!

Good morning, you fine people!!!! 😀

The question is, can Zhwallen dance? Can he do the three step behind center… or is he married to the shotgun?

Let them lay in the sand and the beach and some sun burn. There’s no beach in NM so let them relax, plus we’re the under dog, what harm is there, coach.

GOOD MORNING HAWAII!

Top 20!

Good morning everyone!

“I may not have said that to all of them when I recruited them last year, but that’s the message they’re getting now. That’s what it is.”

We know that happens at a lot of schools who come here–but it’s tough to hear it. 🙁

When our guys go to the mainland, doesn’t the same apply? I’m sure there are a lot of distractions along the way… for some, the 1st away game is their first trip off of the island. Pairing up and sharing a room can be a distraction, too. Doesn’t matter where you go, if it ain’t home, it’s distracting.

Pomai – 17 – 35 NM

Go Warriors!! There’s still a lot of football to be played.

To the players, you’re going through some rough times now. Things will get better if you continue to believe in yourselves and your coaches. This is an important life lesson you are now experiencing – you can either listen to all of the negative people and comments or you can keep fighting and working hard. The game of life is no different, you have to keep on fighting in order to overcome adversity. Life is not always going to be good times with everyone wanting to be your friend. The alternative is to give up, go home, and feel sorry for yourself – in other words, letting the naysayers win. That would be too easy.

Still not convinced Norm is not just throwing this season away. He could certainly do more with what he has – and not just wait until he gets his own boys in camp. John Wooden would adapt his schemes to the type of players he had – that would mean using guys like Graves who can run and throw and not SS to just sit back there, get killed, and chuck shots into guys who are double covered. Surely we can be more creative than that.

#31…right on!!!

csb,

Thanks for the link. On the way!

A Grease’ll be lunching at Tanaka of Tokyo, Ala Moana, kyoo ne.

Try third personing that, a Grease kids with ya! 😀

Al,

Double or nothing as in whether or not Hawaii will win or lose? If you’re betting me that Hawaii will win then you’re on. Hawaii Will lose yet again. Two lunches will be awesome!

Good Morning Gangeez!

Keep on fighting Warriors! Work hard, practice hard and keep your focus.

Pomai – if its not taken -28 – 21 UH wins! Thanks.

Sounds good.

Pomai,

35-31 UH turns the corner

Thanks!

Chow will stick with Schroeder through thick and thin barring any injury. Why? Because every error made, every play well-executed, every snap becomes a usable memory for the QB. If the QB is smart enough and can digest and eschew what he has experienced with split second awareness, accuracy and a bit of sleight-of-hand, good things will start to happen. In Chow’s offense, the burden of the Offense’s success is on the QB. The Offense will repeat every play they have practiced at game time, till they can execute each to near perfection. The emphasis will be on execution more than on winning until they can execute the majority of plays successfully. By that time, they should automatically be winning.

UNM 42 UH 21

Called “Tanaka’s” and had A Grease paged…Hmmm, disappointedly turned down by the receptionist. She mumbled something about me calling the Col. Instead.

I was hoping for some barnyard banter fresh from ‘coop.’

man-defense between the 20’s, too.

maybe schroeder throws an ugly ball? lol. i never seen so much drops in my life

letsgo…lets change to a rugby ball?

#53 Well explained!!

Superb !!!!

Outstanding !!!!!

On target!!!!!

#43 AL -win or lose, there is a vegan restaurant Loving Hut next to the Baskin-Robins store across from Washington Intermediate.

Pomai: NM 47 HAWAII 17 🙁

53 – I agree.

Pomai,

28 – 10 WarriorNY

Thanks…

lol, yes the problem is the QB …… Last time I checked the QB did not play all 11 positions on offense and defense. The breakdown has been more than one player … that is the problem. Hopefully the coaches and players improve each game…..

Kudos to the 2013 Rainbow Wahine for gutting it out and having a very energetic first practice yesterday in these HORRIBLE conditions.

Big props to the Rainbow Wahine Soccer ladies as well. That 2 OT game against Fullerton must have been just brutal to play in. Plus it also doesn’t help when a Fullerton goalie cheapshots you in the back with a kick…but that is for the Big West to review.

The broken play QB TDs will kill us. Especially if they do it at will. One after the other. It’s going to kill offensive morale. Kaumeyer: remember your high school coaching days! Remember that Thanksgiving backyard touch football game last year!

If the QB scrambles for three TDs in a row, he’s probably worth putting a spy on. Whoever scored the last couple of TDs, keep an eye on him. Okay, on three. Ready, break!

Hello there, I discovered your site by way of Google whilst looking for a similar subject, your website got here up, it looks great. I have bookmarked to my favourites|added to bookmarks.

everything is terrible. if we run straight man again this week, we’re toast.

O’s for show. D’s for dough. Give your QB a chance to get some traction, Coach Kaumeyer. Use plain vanilla. Use taro. Use poi. Whatever, just don’t get faked outta you jock straps over and over.

POMAI’s PICKS

17 – 38 New Mexico

Yes. And I meant to say we went 10-3 (not 10-6) and shared the WAC championship.

I find it funny, well, rather hilarious….that we all are questioning the minds, and decision-making of coaches who have 20-30 years of coaching experience at the college and pro levels.

As a former head coach at the high school level, I have a bit more knowledge than the average, casual fan. I’d just like to leave everyone with two simple thoughts:

1. The coaches KNOW what they are doing…to think they don’t is simply absurd.

2. Yes, we have the talent (some, not a lot, that we can withstand injuries to our starters). BUT, it takes more than a month of fall practices to understand AND run the new offensive and defensive schemes, when performed at GAME speed. Both sides of the ball are in the SEE…THINK stage. They are slowly moving into the DO…REACT stage. We’ve seen glimpses of it this past game.

@Pauoa Boy,

The talent level returning in 2008 was far better than the talent returning in 2012. So by saying Mack did better job than Chow is not a fair statement…

Notable returning players on 2008 roster, which was McMackin’s first year, not including true freshmen:

NFL draft picks: Greg Salas (WR), K. Pilares (WR), John Estas (OL), Ryan Mouton (CB), Jake Ingram (LB/LS), Dave Veikune (DE)

NFL/CFL Free Agents: Mana Silva (S), Soloman Eliminian (LB), Corey Paredes (LB), Aaron Kia (OL), Vaughn Meatoga (DL), Daniel Libre (RB), Jameel Dowling (CB), Brashton Satele (LB), Liko Satele (DL)

The 2012 roster only has three NFL prospects that I can see… Will Gregory, Mike Edwards and maybe Alex Dunnachie. Outside of those three, I don’t see any other player even getting asked to try out at a pro camp. I hope I get proven wrong, but that’s what I see.

#89 and the defense and offense was basically the same as the previous year….

I think we can complain about the qb since we have no one else to compare him to, Graves might succeed or might fail, we’ll never know. I just hope we can beat a D1 school this year.

Mack’s inability to recruit is killing us right now. It’s not so much the players, it’s the positions per class that killed us.

His 1st year, I think Mack brought in 2 JC QBs who really got outshined by a walk on.

5 JUCO WRs that didn’t even play. That will kill you. 5 JC guys who don’t really contribute much. So 7 scholarships that went to JC players at 2 positions that really didn’t help much. From that recruiting class alone, only 3 remain on the team after Hanohano retired. Correa, Falemalu, and Laurel. When you have only 3 guys from a recruiting class remaining, that will hurt a lot. Fans will want to give Mack a pass for that year because he got hired late but thats college football.

2nd year- Another JC loaded roster. I understand maybe 5 Juco guys, but not 10. You can’t build a foundation that way. From that recruiting class, only 8 players remain on the team. So the lack of leadership and experience is starting to show.

As of right now, UH has a total of 11 players from Mack first 2 recruiting classes left on the roster. That isn’t going to cut it in regards to having experience at each position

Why is it that when someone says something bad about the QB position, people come out of the woodwork to defend him, but it is okay to bash on the oline and the receivers? This makes no sense. Obviously we can be better at QB, WR, OLINE, . . . EVERYWHERE.

There are valid points to make on both sides. YES, Al is absolutely correct. If all of the other things, protection, drops, etc. were better, Schroeder would be playing better and there would be no calls for a change. Given enough time, he can get the ball where it needs to be, and pretty accurately.

I think those that are calling for that change are basing it on the fact that protection and drops, etc. aren’t getting better, so maybe a QB switch could work. Being under pressure (and I give credit for SS for his toughness) only highlights his weaknesses. He doesn’t have the arm strength or quick enough release to get the ball where it needs to be when under so much pressure.

Another QB may struggle just as much as Schroeder is too, but we’ll never know. I think Chow’s focus is to fix the things around Schroeder first. I guess that makes sense for the long term. But for frustrated fans that want wins, they want quick change and results.

Since New Mexico has a pretty good rushing attack and Hawaii can’t stop the run or spread.

That favors New Mexico so, New Mexico 47 Hawaii 31

Good afternoon!

Guess someone let a supah-dupah-daikon and garlic fueled killah-wiffah go in the H3 control center.

Excellent beat ! I wish to apprentice while you amend your website, how can i subscribe for a blog web site? The account aided me a appropriate deal. I were a little bit familiar of this your broadcast offered vibrant transparent concept

Once UH let Coach Mack go, I felt sorry for whoever they hired given this year’s schedule. Even with good players it would have been a tough first half. I think that is why JD wanted to give Coach Mack more time, he probably foresaw that any change this year would have been tough for the new hire. If Mack struggled this year, it would have been easier to let him go and since it was the last year of his contract there would be no buyout.

I don’t think Dirk Koetter would have been the answer, he had some off field issues with some of his players and apparently ticked off some alumni and administrators while he was there, not a good fit for Hawaii’s unique culture. Also, if people recall, our 2006 team killed his ASU team in the Hawaii bowl.

Another note, the 2012 schedule is probably the toughest UH has had in several years. The MWC is a huge step up from the WAC.

Al…

exactly what i been saying all along.

some people really just don’t get it.

i said before, offense averages 20 pts per game defense gives up 44 pts per game. if the defense can limit what they give to 3 tds instead of 6tds we’d be in every game the rest of the season.

coach K said in the beginning said his philosophy is that the d will not react to what the opposing team’s O is doing rather the D is going to impose it’s will on offenses. well, maybe that’s why when we are on D it looks like ships passing each other in the night (or afternoon). the D is doing its own thing, the opposing teams O is doing its own thing…ummm we don’t need the ships to pass each other–we need them to collide 🙂

OC Warrior…

Still Mack left with a winning record…I think that might put him in the top 35% as a head coaches go…

This point is what a lot of anti-Chow-ists are missing.

^ word

Howzit, Gang!

I still trust in Chow.

You could see and sense it in his latest interview… the emotions about to spill over… disappointment, frustration, etc. at how (slowly) things are catching on.

He’s shown us the direction he wants to take things. We’ve already seen glimpses of vision with changes that have already taken place around the program. I don’t recall a single voice upset at the military training, short haircuts, Warrior Walk, etc. Now, seems none of our coaches can do right, no matter what.

Let’s go, Coaches!

Let’s go, Warriors!

Looking for further progress here!

I agree with Pauoa Boy Schroder has got to go. The QB is the most important position in football and is the primary reason for a successful or in our case unsuccessful team. If the offense was moving the ball and giving the defense a breather, it would help out the D a lot and I think there play would pick up. Be Chow is stubborn and wants to change everyone but the QB and he has gotten no results. Maybe because the problem is the one change you have yet to make!!!! There is a reason why he did not play a Duke. And Duke by no means is a football power house or QB factory. Nothing against the guy personally, he seems like a really nice guy, but give someone else a chance. Stop burning through redshirt players because that is not the answer, especially half way through the year.

To be successful with a pro style offense you need pro style players. Which he had at USC. In Hawaii we don’t get those players. The years Hawaii has been successful we ran a gimmick offense( triple option and run n shoot), which hides the lack of talent and puts us on a more even playing field with the more talented teams.

Bob Davie has different offensive packages for his two QB’s (Holbrook and Gautsche). In Chows system, its one package for one QB regardless of skill set.

Win as a team, lose as a team.

No blame any individual.

Most all of us know barring any unforeseen circumstances, there’ll be a new starting QB next season. So in my mind, give those that have put in the hard work and sweat a chance. Coach has shuffled the defense, why not shuffle the QB? I’m not hating on SS. He’s doing the best he can do.

But if one can see personnel changes elsewhere on the team, why not the QB position? How bad can it be? The other QB’s put in their time, give them a chance to shine.

Again, I’m not hating on SS but as a fan I’d like to see what the other QB’s have to offer.

GO WARRIORS!

GO WAHINE!

I think Mac was a decent head coach and a very good DC, but it seemed his heart wasn’t into football anymore. Might explain why he decided to retire instead of looking for another coaching gig somewhere else, which wouldn’t be hard to find with his resume.

A good and decent man. I think he was losing it a little bit in the sound reasoning department. Kinda strange behavior. But not a bad record, especially with the shock of the Sugar Bowl blow out and sudden exit of Jones.

letsgowarriors…now about that tight end.

some of the birdies are saying that we may not be receiving too many verbal commits until a little later. unless it is the holy grail, which we may have already secured a verbal from, heard that he is a whale(n) of a player.

the reason for the quiet front is that we have less than 15 to secure so its got to be a well spent $200k scholarship.

#128 the D is so short handed, it’s not conditioning. Beau Yap for example, is a prime example of this team playing hard. He must’ve been in on almost every play on defense…I’m guessing at least 60-70 plays. The conditioning is there. The opportunity to get a breather is not. The offense has to be on the field longer to give the D some time to rest. The last few games, not much chance for that.

If were bagging on the recruiting efforts so much, how come every year when the recruiting lists come out everyone is cheering up and down about this player and that. Then once they see them play and its not what’s expected they say oh the recruiting was horrible and the players aren’t good enough etc…don’t make sense. I will agree that it is hard to build a solid foundation with JC guys instead of true freshmen for sure. But I guess it is what it is…

Great material makes you think

Okay, about Coach Chow and the QB debate, I agree with a lot of what Al said in #52.

But, on his last Inside Access show, Coach says that Sean is not a running QB, and then continues that Joey as the Wildcat QB is out with an injury. He says nothing of using other Wildcat QBs on our roster, who have the ability of run, like Graves or Alo.

My hope is that he finds opportunities for a player like David Graves. Especially with Joey out.

I believe that David could be very successful in the Wildcat position.

here’s this week’s schedule of schedules. sorry so late. i was in SD watching the game.

Oh, oh heard on radio UH released documents on Donovan spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for traveling.

You know what the saddest thing about what you naysayers and negativators (yeah, heh, unless that exists somewheres else, a Grease coined that last term; don’t tell me — it’s already the name of a Decepticon? Ah, $@+7.) miss about this whole first Chow season, yeah, yeah, yeah, call it what you want, “blow out season” “worst season Warriors ever had” (funny how the season’s not over yet)? You know what you miss?

You naysayers and negativators are gonna kick your respective selves if you have kids or operate in a Big Brothers/Big Sisters or youth organization.

You miss that what’s happening with (not “to”) the football Warriors is good for kids to witness.

You know Tsaikaidas, let’s not forget how successful Coach Chow is in football. Experience with the best programs in the nation; great championships. Good NFL experience. And a Ph.D. (a Grease has commented about a Ph.D. before. You cannot, though, deny the work it takes to earn those) to boot; in a field not too far from the “game of football” (a phrase coaches like to use as Mr. Tsai informs us). So, we have a coached — UH football Warriors and fans and UH-M itself — are blessed to have a football coach with practical and theoretically-related experience to help build this program.

Build this program from the ground up, as we were reminded in this week’s Norm Chow: All Access.

But, a Grease digresses a bit.

We want our kids to do their best. And a lot of them do. And a lot of them don’t. This season’s Warrior football situation is a good lesson for kids and those in their informative adolescent, high school, even college years[!] . . . indeed, every one of them, kids.

This season’s Warrior football situation, thus far, as experienced by the coaches, players, staff shows us all — but mainly benefits kids — in showing that you can work hard, do the right things . . . and there are just going to times in your life where you will not get the expected result.

And what needs to be focused on in discussing with kids this seeming lesson is, yes, that it might happen because there’s someone with more of what their teacher or selection committee or potential company to which they are applying for a job.

But, moreover, we must teach them that at the beginning of things — especially with new beginnings — you have all this experience, child, yes, I know you did ALL of this. Accomplished ALL of this. Teacher praised you EVERY step of the way. If the Dean’s List were personified, that personification would, by gum, want to MARRY you even if that personification was . . . um . . . well . . . you know . . . well, parts of such similar union is legal now and . . . well, you know what Grease gets at here. Ahem.

That in the next part, next chapter in their life — and remind them that there will always BE a next chapter in their life — there will almost always have to occur a significant rebuilding. Proving yourself in the next part of or chapter IN your life.

Adults. Those of us been through all the junk. Tell a Grease he’s wrong. Be honest.

Because maybe we wish we had THIS lesson early in our own respective lives.

We rebuild. We keep going. USC, Oregon, LSU, they have great seasons? Let ’em have it — because you’re going to explain something responsible to your kids: there is no utopia. It’s not “your life will suck.”. Of course not.

It’s “your life will have its ups and downs and when it’s up, enjoy your life, keep working hard, keep following the law, pay your taxes, eat your vegetables . . . keep doing the right thing. When your life is down, ask for help if you need to; but, you keep going. You stay (here’s that word again) positive. You don’t down hard liquor and go for a drive. You don’t hit someone.”

You let them know to believe in themselves and that people will talk about them no matter what — it’s something that just cannot be controlled. (good reference to “Pandora’s box” would be prudent to offer, too. Kids nowadays, they can look that up, good with the computer and all. What? You thought “Pandora” was only a music service? Tch. Get out of the house some time.)

Remind them that it’s perfectly OK to have an opinion and to speak up. And you also tell them that doing anything negative only ends up wasting their energy.

You tell to keep in mind that they’ll have to rebuild throughout your life, no matter how many 4.0s and 0s that you have after that first # on your paycheck.

And they will HAVE a life.

http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/8482600/western-athletic-conference-adds-cal-state-bakersfield-utah-valley

Nytal!

Wonder if Bob Davie is just implementing the triple-option this year until he gets the players he needs to install a different offense.

Scubs, Geeks, Side winders and couch potatos that never played or coached will never understand the game of football. Never! Stick to fantacy football and fanticize on PS3, leave this game for the real dawgs.

Rebuilding starts from the bottom up.

Who’s at the bottom?

What and who is the foundation to start a solid base?

Are we building a concrete or a temperary wooden structure?

And do we have the right tools to build?

Or do we have to utilize and make use of what we have?

When is the dead line?

How much time do we have?

Good Luck.

Somebody like catch cracks I see…

Regardless of how we feel, what will help the Warriors going forward?

Certainly an emphasis on the things that are RIGHT will move us all in the right direction.

Go Warriors!

#52 Al

1.5 sec? Whow talk about taking complete credibility away from the O-line.

One, Two slip ups because of a delayed corner blitz that was suppose to be picked up by the RB, yet we tend to blame the O-line and not see the inability for a QB that doesn’t have the mobility to step up avoid the rush and scramble out of the pocket, yet alone look down field for open recievers who clearly are wide open waiting for the ball to be thrown.

This may help with what me any many other hard core warrior fans are seeing.

http://youtu.be/lwQ7KCVUzrY

The problem will not get better unless this improves bottom line. Not asking for anyones head or a change in personell, just hoping it get better. Still hurting.

Somebody like swim…………..”when was the last time you swam the kaiwi channel?”. LOL

Can call collect?

True, but I’m sure the lines are very busy. Just enjoying the other callers asking the questions.

Coach Chow is not slated to serve only one season. Coach Chow mentioned they are building from the ground up; maybe he needs to amplify what he means.

Coaching staff — especially this first season — should be trusted to do what they do. Trust a Grease — if you met Coach Chow at, say, a party and the question of what YOU do for a living came up, and Coach Chow had an opinion and/or told you how to do YOUR job, well . . . wouldn’t FEEL very good. Would feel worse if he patronized the product or service of whom you work for. Riiiiiiiiight? That would be just ONE incident.

Coach Chow gets to be told what to do constantly (just look at this board alone). He must needs focus on what he thinks he and the assistant coaches need to be done vs. listening to the tower of babble (yes. A Grease knows it’s originally “Babel”). It’s like what Spock said, (paraphrasing) “all things being equal, the simplist answer must certainly be the solution.” You Trek types, clean up that quote for a Grease.

It’s what they’re paid to do. “Thank you for your opinion, sir.”. They know if they don’t ultimately succeed, they gone. Of course they know this.

They have the skills and the background. That’s why they have the job.

“We’re not gonna let you down. We’re not gonna let you down” [applause follows this quote during live Call the Coach radio show — UH Warrior head football coach, Call the Coach, ESPN 1420 AM, October 9, 2012, 6:43pm — note: this board’s time stamp is off. So don’t be going, “oh, Grease conspiracy, Grease conspiracy” on all and all.]]

Hahaahahah, Bud Light radio ad with Stevie Wonder’s Superstitious just played on Call the Coach. Why, oh, why did Donovan and company do a Wonderblunder?

“BestAntivirusSoftware.co.nz is New Zealand’s No. FREE”

Chow is not good when it comes to words, but to say “we were right in it” when describing the SDSU game is absurd. When were we right in it? When it was 0-0.

I’m worried about Chow and dementia.

Tayson Hill, BYU QB who killed UH, out for the season due to knee injury on final play of BYU 6-3 win over Utah State. He was supposed to have taken a knee on the play that gained 4 yards with about one minute left to play, per staradvertiser.

UH should have someone else taking some reps in the game besides Schroeder in case he gets injured.

CG needs a therapist. Somebody call Kaneohe or Kahi Mohala, lol.

He is not the only one, lol … some people can’t move on. I find it interesting that the people who like to be a know it all and talk $hit about players/coaches can’t take it when people disagree or have an opinion about their rants … Talk about thin skin … yikes!!!

Look at video of New Mexico’s option vs. Boise – it’s hard to figure out who has the ball from ground level defensive players’ view.

Lordy, lordt, lordy….mac sucked ass as a headcoach. IMO

Donovan claims that the Foundation approved everything that was paid for, otherwise he paid for things himself. If the Foundation approved the spending, blame the Foundation. If they want to make a case for it after the Foundation approved it, then I would call it “entrapment.”

The Foundation is the check and balance of JD’s expense account. If they didn’t do their job properly, whose fault is that?

hi K.Krab, howz u been brodha

Just because I can legally buy a fine hand-crafted koa frame, it’s a bad decision to buy a fine hand-crafted koa frame when I should spend my money on my athletic teams.

Well put.

i liked what i saw in the Pistol and multi-formations. clean-up the miscues, i think we will be alright. We won’t score 30 PPG, but will score some and take time off da clock. Most here think the pistol is for only a running QB—no its not. it’s a power running formation. for reals. a run/pass QB gives more options, but a non-mobile QB will be ok too.

My main concern is the D schemes. even with the injuries we should be able to hold our own against NM, they are a 1 demential Offense, but watch-out for the pass up the seam. LB, key on the lone pistol RB and we should hold them to something manageable.

play more zone-blitz, and mix in some man-press, we will be okay, but one never knows what the DC will do. IMO

I agree with you on what you said. Yes the pistol option read offense does not need a mobile QB to make a work. It would help to have a freak back there with the back but is not needed. It is just another way of grounding it and pounding it.

On the defensive side I tend to agree with you also. With so many injuries to the D-line I also feel that we need to tone down on the man press and go to a more zone defense. If our line had not been so decimated with injuries than I feel we could have run a pretty solid man-press defense cause we would have had a very solid line but with the line the way it is, I would rather see a zone look with sprikles of the man-press.

Man with a solid recruiting class though, this man-press defense could become a real crazy defense with alot of pressure coming from all over the place. For now though I feel we need to wait and go to a more conservative defense. JMO

Anyway nice chatting SAWARRIOR but gotta go do the daddy thing and go to bed. Eh but to you and the rest of blog, have faith. I feel things going get better. Just probably not going be as fast as some would like. Have a nice rest of you alls night you hear. Aloha’s

215. go to a more conservative zone D mixed with man-press, 100% agree. a conservative D takes time off the clock and makes the O work for it (bend no break). An aggressive D is high risk, high reward, but we not getting it done— we don’t have the horses just yet to play that as a base D. IMO

conservative zone D, error free special teams play and Pistol O, we should be able to keep the score manageable. we should be competitive. i would hope so. lol

i been drinkin’ so, i better go. good night warrior nation!

600 thousand dollars approved by the UH foundation from Donovan’s requests… how many bathroom stalls could have been fixed for that? how many more laptops and study aids could have been bought for road trips for all the players at UH…

Sending Mr. Clueless McNamara to the Final 4 to see how big time basketball is run?

You can blame the foundation for sure, but they didnt make the request to spend money on that item and other things as well.

some want to blame shroeder and more so coach for not putting in someone else??? how about maybe, just maybe coach is not putting anyone else in because they are nowhere near ready to go in???

wow, what an amazing thought?

if anyone else were ready to go in he’d be in.

when coach says we are sticking with shroeder that means “hey shroeder, i’m still giving you the opportunity, but you need to improve” and it ALSO means, “hey higgins, shutter, graves…either you can pout, be content, or step it up and prove yourself worthy to take the top spot”.

there is no right or wrong or who should be in…it’s who earned it, who proved themselves, and who is ready…

pretty simple.

224. is that you? kaumeyer?! lmao @ u

WHAT ARE CHINESE FIREFIGHTERS? ARE THEY A GROUP OF MORE THAN TWO? HAS ANYONE SEEN THEM FIGHTING FIRES? AS A KID I REMEMBER SEEING ACTORS IN A CHARLIE CHAPLIN MOVIE RUNNING AROUND PRETENDING TO TRY AND SAVE A BURINING BUILDING AS PART OF THE PLOT IN THAT COMEDY, BUT I’M PRETTY SURE IN THOSE DAYS THEY DIDN’T EVEN USE CHINESE ACTORS, LET ALONE FIRE FIGHTERS. WACHOOFIGGA?

Ahh, Hump Day.

Can we just enjoy a beautiful day?

Morning gang!

Sounds like Davie wants to open up their passing game this weekend.

Glad to see the peeps aching for their f-ball fix! Go Warriors!

Chow knows more football than all of us combined. But he made a choice against his original idea of trying to use the talent we had in the receivers, running backs, and quarterback– he said he wanted to use what they were good at in the run and shoot and transition to his offense that way– Von Appen made the same choice.

Contrast that to June Jones who changed his offense after a few practices. He was going to use Robinson in the typical run and shoot under center (like Ron lee and Mouse), but realized Dan was better in the shotgun. He started practicing with one and two tight ends and H-backs like Norm and like he did in the NFL, but he found their ability to run pass routes was limited and their blocking was nullified by bigger defenders clogging up the middle. He wanted smaller tight ends who could run quick routes and catch the Ball and spread the defense and force them into a mismatch with a linebacker or go to nickel coverage. He often noted he could not find good B-backs or tight ends, so he converted offensive linemen to big backs or used an extra guard near goal line. The players he recruited for tight end he had to send to the defense and two of the three went to the NFL that way.

When he struggled his second year he met for a week with Bill Walsh to revamp the offense from the offensive line to the pass routes and alignments on offense.

I think Chow can do that too, but IN HINDSIGHT, he made a choice not too that went worse than he thought.

Pomai, AUWE! I now see that Oldtimer has the pick…so, I’ll do UH 28 – UNM 17 instead. Go Warriors!
