With all due respect, Mr Kekaula is the worst sports announcer on TV. Mr. Miano is ok as an analyst but Kekaulas’ diction is atrocious and his play calling is all over the place. I am especially bothered by Kekaulas’ slurring and mumbling of his words. As a local Hawaiian guy myself even I have difficulty with his play by play announcing. I’m a long time Tsaiko lurker.

burro sabio-

I wish Jeff Portnoy still did the “Call the Coach” segment after UH men’s basketball games.

I think Portnoy loves the UH athletics program.

I’m not that sure about his replacement.

He and Jackson Wheeler are hillarious on “Hoops Talk”.

When David Holmes passed away, he was mentioned on the ESPN sports ticker.

Holmes, I think, is a relatively obscure coach to the nation, but because of Neil Everett, he got his due.

Teams starting out 0-3.
Going back to the record book, I found some interesting stuff.
1924 Otto “Proc” Klum’s team went 8-0. That season they beat Army. Navy and Colorado.
1925 Otto “Proc” Klum’s team went 0-0. Beat Colorado St and Washington St that year.

There were other teams starting 3-0, but they did not have a “collegiate” schedule.

So the next team of note IMO is
1972 Dave Holmes’ team went 8-3, winning their 1st 5 games (Portland St, Cal Lutheran, Puget Sound, Cal St Fullerton and Montana. Dave Holmes followed that with a 9-2 season in 1973, winning the 1st 8 games (8-0), starting with the historic win at Seattle, beating the Washington Huskies 10-7. He finished the season beating Utah .

1981 Dick Tomey’s team went 9-2, winning the 1st 7 games (7-0) with wins against Cal St Fullerton, Idaho, Wyoming, New Mexico, San Diego St, UNLV and UTEP. He finished the season beating Colorado St and South Carolina.

1988 Bob Wagner’s team went 9-3, winning the 1st 4 games (4-0) starting with Iowa, followed by Colorado St, San Jose St, and Utah; finishing with a win against the Oregon Ducks. Wagner followed with the 1992 season going 11-2 with opening wins against the Oregon Ducks, Air Force and BYU, and finishing the season with wins against Pitt and Illinois in the Holiday Bowl. That year Hawaii finished #20 in the AP Poll.

1999 – Then came the famous NCAA record turn-around June Jones’ 1999 season. Yes, he lost the first game against USC 7-62, but he won the next four games, finishing the season 9-4, closing with wins against Navy and Oregon St.
2007 – June Jones had his famous undefeated regular season in 2007 with significant wins against Boise St and the Washington Huskies. The Warriors finished the season ranked #19 in the AP Poll.

Please disregard that last post.

I must have early onset dementia.
