The governor and the rest at the Capitol make me sick. No support for additional funding for athletics but uses the success of the basketball teams for free campaign publicity and photo ops. They obviously know that success of athletics has broad appeal, and they took full advantage. All of a sudden, UH sports is important. How convenient in an election year.

The hardest step in virtually anything worth while doing is getting started – and both the women and the men teams are doing it, creating a winning culture and tradition within each team. Congrats to both these truly outstanding head coaches and their respective staffs and players. You showed the entire state that the virtual impossible and the highly improbable can be achieved. The individual stories about each team and how they overcame their challenges are truly inspirational for our kids. Hopefully, the Governor will support UH athletics with much needed funds. When UH wins, the entire state is filled with energy, excitement, and pride.

Admittedly, the basketball teams deserved the State Capital honorariums for making the NCAAs; but what does this say about Wahine Volleyball where making the NCAAs every year is a tradition? Does the governor hold the WVB team to a higher standard? (Like maybe a national championship?)
