May not be the early morning practice since it’s a holiday. It will be interesting to see what happens with the RPI Monday. Hawaii was at 30, Long Beach at 31, CSUN at 36.

Best to discuss on new thread rather than wade through last night’s game stuff. And to get this out of the way first … the amount of crude comments and personal attacks last night were inexcusable. I apologize that some of the comments got left up until I could get to them and delete. I understand the frustration but the lack of civility will not be tolerated. As mentioned, The beach has pretty much clinched the title at 10-0. UH […]
