DPK wins the football tickets

Congratulations to DPK. (My son drew the winning name.) Give me a call so we can work out the pickup details. And, no, we’re not car-pooling.

• Defensive end Fetaiagogo Fonoti did not attend practice today.

    OH BTW Tsaiko’s, Kamehameha Children’s Choir will be singing as part of the half time show. Look for Aulani in there somewhere. They’re practicing w the band today at UH. You’re gonna need really good eyes to see her on the field amongst all the other little kids.

    Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂

    Congrats to the A-houses for winning the field passes.

    A-house, do you and the Missus have your green hair dye and your black and green face paint ready to go? 😆 Seriously, congrats, you guys are quite deserving and will look great on the sideline. (With or without dye and face paint.)

    Howzit Everybody,

    Our prayers have been answered in regards to Big John. Hopefully he can fully recover and be back for the Washington State. As for the Central Arkansas game, I would not bring him in unless we really need him. I would rather see him in full strength for the next game.

    Caarried over from yesterday’s blog

    Once again there’ll be HI-5 recycling drives at the home game T-Gates. The first recipient at the Friday, September 4, game will be the Na Koa Equipment Fund.

    The bin(s) will be set out no around 10 am and all the recyclables will be stored during the breakdown before the opening ceremonies at Aloha Stadium. Most of the time, there’ll be additional collections at the post-game parties as well.

    Bring eligible bottles and cans in any quantity from home to donate as well as what you’ll be drinking this Friday.

    Remember, we’ll pick up quantities in excess of 250 containers anywhere on O`ahu on Saturday provided that arrangements are made no later than the Friday afternoon since we’ll probably have to borrow a truck.

    I was told not to set out a donation jar in which to drop your spare change because it will conflict with another drive going on at the same time. Therefore, we’ll make sure that information sheets are available for those of you who want to make a contribution to any of the seven different funddrives or organizations on your own.

    ALL of the redemption fees will be made on behalf of the Tsaikos & will be sent to the designated recipients within 48 – 72 hours of each T-Gate. Mahalo in advance for supporting these youth, high school, and UH athletic programs.

    Mahalo to the UH Letterwinners Club for the laptop donation! That will help all UH athletes (especially on road trips) and is a nice way of past UH athletes to support current UH athletes.

    The UH Letterwinners Club donated 20 laptop computers with computer bags embroidered with the LWC logo to the Nagatani Academic Center, Tuesday. With the help of these computers, student-athletes on the road are able to keep up with the demands of school while traveling.

    This donation marks the second time in the past several years that the LWC has donated laptops for student-athletes.

    One of the missions of the LWC is to provide assistance to past and present athletes. Just last week, the LWC issued student planners to some 450 student-athletes.

  76. Garret September 2, 2009 12:09 pm

    This is amazing to me, especially considering all the ranked teams that have played at Aloha Stadium. Oregon will be the *first* ranked opponent to play at BSU! No WAC team has been ranked when they played at BSU?

    Oregon is the first ranked team to play a regular season game at Boise State — at least, if I can believe what I read in my Idaho Statesman over breakfast. That might go a long way toward explaining the Broncos’ 61-1 record in regular-season home games.


  77. jm2375 September 2, 2009 12:11 pm

    Garret – #73 – hope they use the planners correctly and often. My keed had a year long course in Study Skills in 7th grade and is issued a planner every year, but does she use it? Noooo! Only if made mandatory by a teacher and only for that class. She says that class was a waste of time… 👿 She tells me this after she totally forgot to do a homework assignment this weekend…

    jm2375,

    I’m sorry to hear about your keed and her planning. College athletes have such a heavy load with practices, weight training, road trips, and meetings to fit in with classes, homework, and exams…I think they have to be good at time management to get everything done.

    Do I think that they all use the planners? No, I was an academic advisor for too long to think that. However, I’ll bet a fair amount do use the planners…especially after the first wave of classes/practices/meetings hit the freshman and they realize everything they have to get done.

  84. expat September 2, 2009 12:20 pm

    Garret

    That does sound remarkable. Of course, Boise State has played many times on the blue turf as a ranked team…

    That isn’t much of an advertisement for the WAC as it probably is rare to have more than one team ranked at the same time. Boise State and UH were both ranked when they played two years ago at Halawa.

  103. Mrs. A-House September 2, 2009 1:19 pm

    Mid-day Greetings to Everybody!

    To Don Weir, ST and PL –

    A-House and I are both deeply grateful for the sideline passes. I love the “feel” of the UA apparel and we’ll do our best to comply with your request to wear/advertise the merchandise. To Duffer, Whitey, LizK, Kekoa and others who kindly offered advice re “on-the-field” behavior, your concerns are taken seriously. I will do my best to not bring shame on the noble Tsaiko title/ohana.

    My total energy/attention can now be focused on this Friday’s tailgate and season opener. There have been a few distractions these past few months that permitted me to lurk only on a daily basis. Checklist of things to do and places to be are fewer now. Our favorite Korean drama series, Princess Jamyung is done (final episode was last evening), and I can focus all my energies on supporting the Warriors as they do battle on the field this Friday. (Any Tsaiko who followed the series…would love to hear your comments.)

    To Coach Mack and his coaching staff/assistants and every one of the players – This family thanks you very much for all the sweat/toil/hard work and dedication you put forth toward getting ready for the season opener. Win is what we fervently hope for, lose is what we will accept, but just know that the fan faithful will never desert you…never forgetting your valiant efforts to do your very best every game..one game at a time. That’s all we will ask of you…and the faithful will not be disappointed…ever.

    So with that said, onward we march together…IMUA WARRIORS!


  104. C rM September 2, 2009 1:23 pm

  106. Committed Road Warrior September 2, 2009 1:27 pm

    In regards to Garret’s post #76:

    Since their move up to Division 1-A in 1996, Boise State hasn’t had many opportunities to host BCS opponents on the blue turf. Despite playing Oregon tomorrow and Oregon State scheduled to play them in Boise next season, there have only been five (5) BCS teams that have played Boise on the blue:

    Washington State (x2): 1998 (L), 2001 (L)
    Oregon State (x2): 2004 (W), 2006 (W)
    Boston College (2005 Humanitarian Bowl, L)

    There are a variety of factors involved, but I think it’s gonna be much harder for Boise now to schedule home-and-home with BCS opponents, especially against some of the better BCS squads. BCS teams can easily pull the “economy” excuse to decline a home-and-home with them, pay them an exhorbitant sum of money for a one-and-done, or feign the “we want a cupcake game” excuse.

    Would like to see how Boise fares at home against good opponents, but kind of hard to judge that if the so-called “good opponents” won’t give them the light of day in arranging to play them in Boise.

    My wish for the upcoming Warrior season.

    For all the coaches and especially to Coach Mack: Put those Richard Simmons impersonations into quarantine.

    Having self love and that cheer leading spiel might be well intended. And it may help someone lose weight. But this is football. Extracting as much from the players via challenging them and motivating them is the sensible way to go. All that rah, rah stuff dwarfs them.

    The players listen to the show, they hear what’s being said.

    Save all the talk of which players are potentially going to be playing in the pros for the end of the season banquet.

    Save all the other narcissists praises for your memoirs.

    For now let them grow. Let them look up at great leadership. Canonizing them doesn’t help.


  109. Kazz (blkberry_storm) September 2, 2009 1:49 pm

    Not to digress from da football talk BUT anyone read the homegrown report in the Advertiser today?

    As if beating the #2 team in the country isn’t enough motivation already…

    What I’m lookin forward to this Friday night:

    -Driving out of Aina Haina by 6:30 at the latest.

    -Getting to me seat in time NOT to miss the first UH touchdown of the season.

    -Laughing and cheering at “drunk man” with his UH flag/cape sans t-shirt three rows in front of me.

    -Staring in amazement at Shannon Dresser’s skills.

    -Hearing the cannon go off at least 5X.

    -Confetti/trash raining down from the yellow sections.

    -Beachballs-a-plenty in the North end zone orange section!!! 😆

    -My first haka down the steps after a UH touchdown.

    Ahhhhh… I smell kalbi, honey roasted macadamia nuts, and garlic fries in the air…. FOOTBALL IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  126. Slugger September 2, 2009 2:45 pm

    jm####,

    Maybe you could show your keed how to use her planner to see a week’s worth of activities in order to help her schedule herself. I was a mentor in a program at NAU and one of the problems I saw with the student we (me & the other HAPA club advisor) were helping is that she used her cell phone to type in reminders. That is a very narrow view of one’s time. Esp. w/ athletes, they have very full schedules for months on end and need to know when they can schedule time in to work on papers, projects & study for exams, besides practice, games & meetings. Perhaps using a pgm. on the PC might help your keed; it’s more the media they’re used to. I found using a Palm (pilot) didn’t help me as well, since all you see are little blips on the days of the full monthly calendar. She needs a ‘big picture’, extended view of her time.

    OK, back to football….

    GO DUCKS! My son graduated from UoO; I’ve always liked the Ducks, even tho you think their unis are ugly. At least they have Donald Duck for a mascot.

    one,
    “-Laughing and cheering at “drunk man” with his UH flag/cape sans t-shirt three rows in front of me.”

    i didn’t know koakane was in the north endzone.

    two,
    “-Staring in amazement at Shannon Dresser’s skills.”

    Gotta a non football event…so no read if you want football stuff.

    This past monday nite I went to my first MBA class (management) and was blown away by the incredible experience. It was 40 years since my BA and I had some trepidation. But, when I walked in the classroom, I saw cookies and a bottle of water for everyone. On the bottle of water, it said, “Congratulations on your first step towards graduation. Have a great evening!” AWESOME. My instructor and classmates were beyond any expectations I had as we zoomed through 4 hrs with only a 10 minute break! Didn’t need any more. Just lovin’ it…


  146. Uce #2 September 2, 2009 3:33 pm

    Oregon will rule this year.

    Masoli will do a great job leading his team. Knew when he played for the Crusaders he would be a great QB at the college level, especially if he played on the mainland instead of at Hawaii.

    RE: Baton Twirler Extraordinaire

    I thought she was pau too but at the last two-a-day practice, the UH marching band took the field and so did the “baton girl”. In the distance it appeared to be Dresser, but wasn’t sure. Then she busted out her patented stuff from years prior and voila… SHE’S BACK!!!

    Maybe she’s continuing with her schooling?

    Either way she also was at the volleyball game against Santa Clara.

    Your fixation with inserting objects into the rectum is interesting. I take if from your description you have expertise in these matters, including smelling objects of this sort, as inserted in the manner you described.

    I know several therapists I could refer you to for treatment of your condition. They do excellent work. I regularly refer clients to them. Let me know if you need a referral.

  192. whitey September 2, 2009 5:10 pm

    Uce#2, are you saying that you are a patient and therapists treat you regularly, so you can recommend one for kazz. me, i don’t know any, but if i do need one, i will definitely call you for recommendation.


  193. Uce #2 September 2, 2009 5:12 pm

    You all need to stop taking the red pills and instead take the blue ones, especially you Kazz.


  194. Uce #2 September 2, 2009 5:15 pm

    Whitey,
    I wrote what I wrote. If you are having a difficult time understanding what I wrote, ask your son or daughter to read it and explain it to you. After that, get back to me if you need further assistance.


  195. whitey September 2, 2009 5:19 pm

    dang, Uce#2, are you a pharmacist too??? don’t know what is a red pill and blue pill, so if you could enlighten me as to what they are and what drug store carries them.


  196. whitey September 2, 2009 5:24 pm

    Uce#2, took your advice and asked my son what you wrote. He said that to make recommendation on proctologists, one needs to have experienced it and gone to more than one. So, I ask him, was I wrong to write what I said. He said “no”.


  197. Uce #2 September 2, 2009 5:25 pm

    Whitey,
    I can’t really help you. You are going to need more help then I can provide at this point. Your problem is that you have difficulty understanding what you read. You will need a referral to a literacy program, where they teach adults to read. Call Aloha United Way and ask them for the number to a literacy program. Start there. Once you have basic literacy, come back here and reread what I wrote. If you still do not understand what you are reading, then I recommend a GET refresher course for you, to help you relearn what you should have learned a long time ago. I’m actually quite surprised you know how to use a keyboard given the difficulty you are experiencing with understanding basic English. Good for you, though, Whitey, that you are trying nonetheless.

    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/246126-the-case-for-colt-brennan?ref=lead

    Good article on Colt. I don’t have the patience to see if anyone else posted it.

    Sure, Washington fans grimace and frown their faces up when Colt Brennan throws garbage time, goal-line interceptions. but they’ve got to love the fact that Brennan has enough faith in his arm, in the play call, and in the receiver that he has no qualms about letting it go. Unlike his counterpart Jason Campbell, he hasn’t shown the regard for smarts that can yield a 6.8 yard per attempt average.

    Ok right about now we have about 60 people who want the two tickets for the game. So that means that there is about 120 people who would go to the game if they had free tickets. Now that leads me to think that one the ways to get more people in the stand is to lower the ticket price? Notice I said one of the ways, there are many if you look for them.

    It’s football time!
    Strap it up! 😀

    guest, you asked a great question and had to think what you meant, “why am i defending kazz”?? Do i know him, no. Have i met him, no. Do i see him at UH games, no. Do I know where he lives, no. So basically, I don’t know kazz except thru this blog, but the question was why are you defending him??? I was not defending kazz and you missed the entire point, I just wanted Uce#2 to shut up and see how useless it was to carry on personal opinions that had nothing to do with this blog. Did he stop, yes and now we back to normal.

    Some predictions:
    1) Blaze Soares will be a monster game.
    2) UH running game will be very good.
    3) There will be at least one long touchdown pass by either Bradley or Taylor.
    4) The defense will surprise a lot of people, considering how few they have returning starters.


  247. Kekoa September 2, 2009 8:05 pm

    When they put make-up on ST, I noticed they added that ‘unshaven’ look. They also darkened his usual bar room tan. On camera, he looked like a grandpa, and that’s a good thing ST.

    Go get ‘um Warriors!

    Cleveland still hasn’t figured out where they will use David Veikune.

    He might play a lot. He might play a little. He might play here. He might play there.

    Not even the boss knows what he’s going to do with second-round draft pick David Veikune.

    Veikune was a defensive end at Hawaii, which automatically meant he would get a crash course at outside linebacker in the Browns’ 3-4 scheme. His big body, overall skills and football IQ gave coaches the bright idea he could play inside linebacker, too. Indeed, he has.

    “He has to be swimming,” Head Coach Eric Mangini said. “He’s played inside, outside, the buck position, defensive end.

    “He’s going from a three-point to a two-point stance. There’s a lot of information. It will serve him well over time.”

    What has it done for him lately? Veikune says he has “no idea” what his role will be in the season opener.

    DirecTV pulled the Versus channel right before the college football season begins (among other things, VS has the first choice of games from the Mountain West Conference). What I found interesting with this is that the day DirecTV customers lost the Versus channel, Dish Network started a *3 month* free trial giving Versus for free to all of their customers (including the channel in HD).

    Derek ~ Blaze, Heun & Mana will have some key plays on defense. The rest of what you predict is spot on. The corners and db’s may make some picks as quick as they are!

    I’m looking for Greg Salas to make some tough catches for maximum yardage. Don’t forget Inoki and LWJ!

    It’s like waiting for the wraps to come off of a much anticipated gift that should start us on to a winning season.

    never thought i’d say this, but, gonna head into the game early to watch the punting practice.

    Chawan, got your messsage. But yeah, just wait, Dunnachie and L. Ingram have yet to play at real game speed against different opponents, but the same can be said for everyone else on punt protection, but as long as the guys take what Tormey has taught them into heavy application on game night, then we’re looking at a vast improvement on special teams this season as compared to last.

    Only thing is, the KICKING game is a question mark. Scott Enos has been here and there. Hopefully we won’t need him to step up against UCA of course as I cannot really see this game coming down to a field goal, but yeah…


  263. bighilofan2 September 2, 2009 8:47 pm

    I dunno about you guyz, but listening and watching Coach Miano on yesterday’s show left me feeling that the coaching staff has improved their overall presentation to the athletes. and while I may have some reservations about Rolo and Smith, imo Coach is listening to all his coaches in making some of his coaching calls. great achievements take time. great job, Coach Miano.
    you said the right things about the new coaches, without mentioning names. I got your drift.

    Go Warriors!

    Garret,

    Was this study on golfers done among people with the same level of income?

    One would think that the golfer sitting on a nice chunk of change and has the luxury of golfing and counting it as a “business expense” is going to most likely live longer than the golfer who can go on his days off, but still has a mortgage.. or a 2nd one and is trying to figure out why the same banker that SNUBBED him last week is shmoozing with the person that cut in front of him in line at the bank… 🙄


  265. madeinhawaii September 2, 2009 9:08 pm

    Kazz,

    Or live longer than the guy that has to cut the grass, trim the hedges and still can’t afford to put the same variety of good food on the table as the weekend golfer with disposable income. BUT, what about against the weekender that plays tennis or sails, or skis or plays softball, etc?

    Just put the books away for the night and thought I’d check the blog before calling it a night.

    bhf2…I like Rolo and two things caught my attention. One, Alexander was actually practicing THROWING THE BALL AWAY during the summer. Two, Alexander said he was practicing moving the db’s with his eyes to clear throwing lanes. Colt got real good at that and Rolo was too. With the tremendous improvement from last year to this…technique, decision making, and throwing motion…in Alexander, Rolo should get some credit. Oh yeah, and the improvements in the other QB’s too.


  271. BG September 2, 2009 9:37 pm

    Way to go, DPK!

    Hey! Good for you DPK!! You deserve it! Congrats.. Enjoy the game.


  275. Jason September 2, 2009 9:58 pm

    Congratulations DPK!

    I think the thing about the young coaches are they know the system, but there are other things they need to learn. With Rolo, I know Ron Lee talked about him being able to develop the skills to game plan with the defense in mind, seeing the whole field and being able to process all of that instantly. Rolo supposedly knows the system well enough to be an OC someday, but he needs to learn how to be an OC; it’s not enough to only know the system. Another challenge is learning how to impart his wisdom onto others; it’s just like teaching, and teaching has its challenges. Just because you have the expertise doesn’t mean your pupils will automatically get it. If it were like that, everyone in college would be a genius, and all my students would be passing their math class. (Well, with me teaching, they’d pass with at least a C!)

    And with Brian Smith, I liked that John Estes acknowledged how Smith taught him how to read the defense and make protection calls. But when you hear talk about Gordy Shaw, the emphasis is on fundamentals. Maybe Smith wasn’t able to teach those as well as Shaw can; after all, Shaw is a veteran coach, while Smith is still young and learning. Maybe it’s easier for Smith to teach blocking concepts in a filmroom where he’s a “lectuer” who can observe everyone, versus on the practice field where attention may be divided or biased towards certain people. Just as students have different preferred learning styles, teachers and coaches have different preferred teaching styles.

    When Mack talked about building a quality staff, I think he was talking about the long-haul. That is, he wanted to get guys he could help develop as young coaches and keep here in Hawaiʻi because of their ties to UH or the islands. Stutz and Malloe left for greener pastures, but I’m sure Mack appreciates the sacrifices Rolo and Smith have made to stay here. Now he’s supplemented these up-and-coming coaches with veterans who can act as mentors in various ways; Shaw can help Smith mature, and Tormey can help both Miano and Mack in their DB/associate head and head coaching positions, respectively. So I like where this staff is going. I just hope they overcome some of the gameday challenges that plagued them last year. But Mack has a year of head coaching experience under his belt, and the staff is (hopefully!) more in tune with each other now.

    Amidst the mindless dribble drabble, it looks like the question(s) from my post #114 is going to go unanswered:

    However, I was wondering if the folks bound for the Wazzu game had any Saturday night post-game plans in the works.

    I’m contemplating whether or not to rent a car for Saturday’s festivities…..

    Will be dropping off the recyling stuff by 10 am and then heading back into Honolulu to work. DrDoc and I should be back at Cabana A sometime after 5 pm – when we’ll get there depends upon how quickly the bus we’ll be catching moves through traffic – to help with the breakdown.

    Don’t forget the Wahine volleyball team will be playing Thursday, Saturday and Sunday..

    interesting that the coach for central arkansas mentioned in one of his twitter comments that his team needs to “pay attention to detail”.

    i heard that at lunch today. i heard how important that very creed played a significant part in a particular “successful” person’s life.

    i’d say that i hope our team is prepared for friday’s game.
    if not, we’ll be in for quite a rude awakening.

I’m working 3 nights a week now, and don’t get home in time to watch them live. It’s great to be able to catch up with the coverage of our Warriors!

    Anybody know what K5 plans to do as far as re-broadcasting the games? I plan to watch the WVB re-broadcasts, and hope the football games will be available too. I don’t have access to PPV out here in the sticks.

  309. Kekoa (iPhone) September 3, 2009 2:08 am

    Da Katoosh factor is not to be taken lightly. I believe our defense will disrupt their plans & operations in several ways. Special Teams will create opportunities to score. The offense will have fun using all the plays they’ve practiced many times.


  310. Koa1 September 3, 2009 4:16 am

    aloha, I finally came out of the dark…lurked since the begining of the dream season, july 2007….wanted to win free tickets, so the tsai master got the intended results…will leave my 5 cents on the beat every so often…congrats dpk!

    madeinhawaii,

    The study found the health benefit of golf adjusted for all income levels. It actually makes sense–if one person is walking the golf course while the other is watching TV, there will be a big difference in calorie burning.

    Garret – so will you be slingboxing the game tomorrow?


  316. Diken Cider September 3, 2009 5:18 am

    does anyone know anything about the kid Gabe Tuata, SB/RB?


  317. Garret September 3, 2009 5:20 am

    Al,

    Regarding your #297, I’ve seen point spreads between 10 and 14 for the game on Friday.


  318. Garret September 3, 2009 5:21 am

    Loa,

    I’m paying for streaming video for the game. Since my parents are season ticket holders and do not pay for PPV, they won’t get the game on their DVR until the free replay.


  319. Loa September 3, 2009 5:26 am

    Garret – #320, cool, i’m glad the out of state gang has that option this season

    “And the Cult of Colt is sleeping on the job: in a Redskins Insider poll, as of 4,000 votes cast, 53% would keep Chase Daniel over Colt Brennan. Beat writer Jason Reid doesn’t agree, putting Brennan on the roster. I have to say, given how vocal Brennan’s fanbase is, I’m genuinely surprised by those numbers.”

Brown Mack has to find a way to get this guy on the field cause he’s most definetly a Baller jus from seeing him in practice it has been a long time since we’ve had a safety like him.

    CA head coach just finished on 1420. He was humble but you could sense the quiet confidence, I was impressed. Team’s OL very tall from G to T, 6’5″ to 6’7″, with a nasty bulldog C @ 5’11” that started as a freshman. Front line players on both sides are talented & experienced. Based on what I heard I think the game is going to be a lot closer than what most people think.

  388. al September 3, 2009 9:14 am

    aaron brown’s move to olb was reported by mack on his talk show and by miano on tuesday on the chat.

    does that mean that the coaches have much confidence in silva, smith, and estes?

    does that mean the coaches are concerned about the already thin lb’er corps?

    does that mean we may evolve into a hybrid defense utilizing his speed in a more flex defense?

    while brown is still the nickel, i think his uniqueness has predicated this move.


  389. Kekoa September 3, 2009 9:16 am

    Anybody know what K5 plans to do as far as re-broadcasting the games? I plan to watch the WVB re-broadcasts, and hope the football games will be available too. I don’t have access to PPV out here in the sticks.

    Just got off the phone talking to the K5 programming department.
    Friday night’s game will be re-broadcast on SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, at 1 pm.

    The re-broadcast situation is very different this year – probably in part due to the consolidation of KGMB & KHNL/K5, but that’s just a guess on my part..

    Each game will be handled differently so I was told to check on a weekly basis. Also, accorfding to the staffer some games – especially the road games – may not be re-broadcast if a sponsor isn’t found.

    Stephen – would you please post the re-broadcast information each week on a regular basis starting around Wednesday? Mahalo.

    Off to work and three meetings plus Wahine volleyball. Hope everyone has a great day and that Kazz can change his header in about 12 hours.

    When Mack talked about building a quality staff, I think he was talking about the long-haul. That is, he wanted to get guys he could help develop as young coaches and keep here in Hawaiʻi because of their ties to UH or the islands. Stutz and Malloe left for greener pastures, but I’m sure Mack appreciates the sacrifices Rolo and Smith have made to stay here.

    While I believe Brian Smith and Nick Rolovich are quality people, if we want to consider UH to be a major college football power….then we cannot be a farm club developing coaches for the major leagues.

    Coach Mack didn’t have a lot of time to put together his because of the abrupt departure of Coach Jones and some of his staff…but, at the end of each year he has to evaluate his staff to insure they are at Division I caliber or have them go back to JC, NAIA or IAA…etc.

    This is the same message they give to some of their players…nothing personal…just business.
