Comments on: Three bad teams took the field last night, and the worst was the one wearing stripes https://www.hawaiiwarriorworld.com/quick-reads/three-bad-teams-took-the-field-last-night-and-the-worst-was-the-one-wearing-stripes/ Sat, 21 Nov 2015 20:57:46 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Parker West https://www.hawaiiwarriorworld.com/quick-reads/three-bad-teams-took-the-field-last-night-and-the-worst-was-the-one-wearing-stripes/#comment-2628511 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 20:57:46 +0000 http://www.hawaiiwarriorworld.com/?p=34294#comment-2628511 Last nights debacle Fresno State at Boise St wasn’t up to the lowest standards of officiating either. I doubt that the Academy has ever been hit with such a flood of personal fouls as they did last night many during the same Bouse St drive. Some coaches have been talking parity within the conference. If that’s the reality, its truly sad not something to celebrate. The entire conference has a 5-26 record vs FBS teams outside the MWC. This figure hasn’t changed much from the two previous seasons either. So what’s wrong with the MW to have fallen so far, so quick to the bottom of the Group of 5? Is there the resolve to improve present on any MW campus, and finally can the monies be found to move back to be biting at tha tails of the “Big” schools now called the Power 5? Which is worse the teams playing or the officiating?

With all the injuries we’ve experienced, the OC has a conundrum. The offense is predictable. The players are pressing so hard they are making mistakes. Run, run, pass, punt. At this point in the season, the coaches need to look at the future and give younger players some experience. (We are being forced to due to injuries.) Stress execution, block, play to the whistle, and execute your assignment. The Defense is in the same situation. Its back to basics. It’s a brutal lesson, but I’ll be there. Go Warriors.

Yes the refs were horrible but UH should have adjusted. UH has no team discipline. None. Have not had all season. We watch on pay per view at my Mom’s house with a gang of family and friends. My sister’s family left after the first quarter. The rest of the gang, except me and my girlfriend, left at halftime. We are cancelling the last two game parties because this is just too pathetic to watch. I’d rather have a root canal than watch UH play football anymore. We’re done. The whole state is done. And it’s not because of the refs. UH administration sucks and UH football sucks. We don’t have to associate ourselves with it anymore and we aren’t going to. Best of luck to UH in the future because sorry bro, but we just don’t care any more. Put a fork in us we are done.

“Thanks for sharing your opinion regarding the officiating in the Fresno State-Hawai’i game this past Saturday. You may rest assured the Mountain West, in accordance with our standard procedure for each and every game during the season, is fully-engaged in the review, evaluation and grading process for the officiating crew.”

Pretty much what I expected. Might sound like lip service, but I think it is sincere. In my past experiences with conference offices and the way they deal with officials I think the conferences realize how important the integrity and competence of the officials is to the league’s reputation. When a couple of really bad calls went against Hawaii in a game against USC officiated by refs from what is now the Pac-12 (the Trojans conference), the Pac-12 commissioner at the time made it a point to let me know that the crew was found to be lacking and was officially censured by the conference.

Are you trying to say the refs were told to make calls against Hawaii as part of a plot to get UH to leave the Mountain West? Sorry, that’s hard to buy, especially since they also made bad calls against Fresno State … not as many, but they were there. I did get a reply from the Mountain West this morning and will post soon.

I wanted to to the same that very night. Also the no late hit calls on our QBs for the exact same crap was horrible. It seemed we didn’t even have a chance if not for our poor offense but the Officiating..that is a depressing feeling knowing that no matter what we did, the stripes were negating it and tds were had against UH.

But I believe officials cannot be that bad. Is it not possible that the guys in stripes, or maybe a couple of the guys in stripes, were directed or encouraged to make these outlandishly bad calls. They were so bad, I cannot imagine they were accidental, or a result of poor judgement, but perhaps intentional. Hawaii brings or adds nothing to the MWC. It’s only contribution is in football. At one time it was worth something. Today and for the past 4 years, not worth spit. Sorry for my language, but it drives home the point.

Are the grades open to coaches? Curious if this team always works together. Major F-ail!
