Kemp is 6′ 4″, maybe pretty fast after 30 yards, not quick, cannot get much separation, rounds his routes and uses his body to catch. He got below average hands when he actually tries to use them.

Hey, old time saying for a receiver “you touch it, you better catch it”! In addition to Davone; Grice-Mullen, Salas, Branch, Roscoe and Lelie had great hands too.

The poll question in today’s star advertiser asked what should be done about football referencing it to the 3.5 million deficit in athletics. Football makes the money and the state takes it away. The question in the poll implies that football is the cause of the deficit.

I hope they can eventually revisit this model. Since both UH and Aloha Stadium are both state entities, let UH keep all the money and allow UH athletics to have a better chance to balance their athletic budget. At the same time the state can subsidize Aloha Stadium for the maintenance and other cost to run the stadium. Does it really matter if Aloha stadium runs in the red and that it needs to be subsidized by the state.

Take away UH football completely and you take away all the income it generates. Also, all other non-revenue sports would be gone.

It seems like there are so many people at UH or within the state that influence decision making. Change the business set up and allow UH to keep all the money they receive on Saturday’s and have the state appropriate money to Aloha Stadium to maintain it.

Until then, UH football will always be blamed for the deficit. I think if everyone sees the revenue football brings in including the money it generates from parking, concessions, and any sale of items related to football, I don’t the think the public would be saying or thinking, why is UH football in a deficit.

Lastly, UH should hire people in athletics and upper campus to do the jobs they have been hired to do. If UH can minimize the amount of influence from outside interest groups or influentiaal power brokers and allow those in charge to do their job, maybe UH athletics would run more efficiently.

There were times in the past, UH admin spent money for buyouts and for the Wonder blunder mess up like they had the ability to print money. I think this is temporary. Chow’s era will pass and football will be back to winning again. I hope UH admin will be able to steward the school’s money better in the future.
