According to another site Issac and Q were late to breakfast or a team meeting. Q said the right thing while Issac unfortunately did not (with everything going on with his aunts death over reaction or not so appropriate responses can occur). We all just need to understand that these are young gentleman that don’t do everything perfectly but it seems like he has taken responsibility for what has transpired and he will be back in there getting the team 10+ points a game (hopefully) 🙂

Fleming’s Aunt passed away just recently, maybe Coach had him sit out because his head wasn’t into it at the moment. he seems really positive on his twitter account, so i don’t think its sitting is going to phase him at all.

Some of US thought this would be a Special Team.

Clearly UH’s admin (typical?) bungling threatened to de-rail that. I Hope the Pre-Emptive Actions by UH Admin have Some Long-Term Positive pay-off; but like Much Over-reaction at U.H., it looks to have Hurt the Team; i believe Mr. Fotu deserved More Complete Information, Course of Action and a Statement of Expectations (from UH Admin — A Complete Evaluation andd pursuit of Corrective Actions with an eye towards How Things “Should Work” versus a knee-jerk re-action; And professional treatment versus harassment, even as he played for NZ in Spain); UH Admin needs to be problem-solvers versus posturers.

Despite the Unprofessional Handling (so far) of the still-only prelim investigation, the Team shows Resilience, Toughness and an ability to perform under adversity; and maybe moreso than many teams in the past.

The USF loss was not surprising as both teams’ coaches believed weary legs caught up with UH: to bounce back Twice in 48 hours was outstanding (irrespective of the level of opposition (Both opponents Beat Comparable Fresno State in the same time-frame) . I think as long as they learned from the High Point experience (blowing a strong second half lead in pretty much six consecutive possessions), that game should also prove valuable; it might have already paid off in their improved resilience in Florida, which even opposing coaches commented upon. A ‘semi-road’ win against a premier Pitt program (evidence Kansas State yesterday which took #3 Arizona down to the wire) is almost off of the chart for most years in the UH program. i suspect this team may be able to pleasantly surprise us a few more times, especially as they recover injured, or emerging eligibility players.

Coach Taylor is doing a remarkable job of calming the waters for these young men after the firing of Coach Gibbs. Winning six games shows the character of this team of playing for each other. This will be an exciting year and I hope young Mr. Fleming plays for the team with the right attitude and not for himself.

Brian,

The team is playing beyond my expectations, due to prior circumstances. I thought the pieces of the puzzle were there for a great year before camp. Hats off to the boys for sticking together and the coaches for guiding them in the right direction. Hope the team stays intact and the situation with Mr. Fleming is a learning experience for him and he comes back dedicated and focused.

Thank you Brian for all you do to keep us informed.
