Would love to see Justin Vele get somes touches I think he deserves the opportunity. Also the reference to him fumbling…..he did not fumble he was not the intended ball carrier the ball was supposed to be pitched which means he was load/fill blocking for a pulling or reach blocking guard….just for the record. Hope he gets a chance really think it would be a pleasant surprise—-

This week the challenge falls squarely on the defense and special teams for both field position and to put a stop on SDSU running game. Depends on who is at QB for them will dictate how much they run. Hawaii’s offenswive game plan looks as if it’s going to be short pass draw and screen route along with misdirection based on who is in the backfield. There did not seem to be a fire in the belly by some at the start of the Wyoming game….that changed as the game wore on. I honestly believe there will be a rallying of the troops and an overall intense effort by the Warriors…..gotta stop Pumphrey……should be a good game.

Precedence for a guilty plea is 3 games. It should be the same for a not guilty plea as well. Stupid decision to wait for a judge/jury verdict. Penalizes the accused for wanting to prove ones innocense.

51. Yeah it did look like a miscommunication so it makes sense. And my comment wasn’t directed towards saying Vele hasn’t played well. He has been a big part in the blocking game. I was referring to running the coconut more comment. He hasn’t gotten carries so I didn’t know what the poster was referring to saying he makes plays and should get more carries. I still think his biggest value is blocking over carrying the ball and maybe a few spider 2 Y banana throws in passing game. So I apologize that the comment came out negatively.

#51 that is what I saw. It also happened later with another runningback. Could be like you said. They need more practice to get the mesh right. I know Justin hasn’t run the ball much but he has made some critical plays. And that is what you want your players to do. Do the job when their number is called. I too hope to see his number called more often.

Go Justin!

JV SR. Thank you for a parent’s perspective. It serves to remind people that the team is not only made up of the coaches, players and support staff. The families and friends of these people are also part of the Ohana called the Rainbow Warriors. Win or lose their support is given unconditionally.

The person that said it takes a village to raise a football team was right.

This year’s team and last year’s team has a “no quit” attitude. They play hard until the end. Great to see them fight through adversity and be on the winning side of the equation. I hope they can make a run in the MWC. Go Warriors!

Our support and prayers are with Joey. Wrong place, wrong timing, bad decisions. We make’m sometimes, every now an then, we live and learn.

#28 Jeezy33,

The fumble came from the QB, Ikaika. My son wasn’t supposed to get the ball unless the QB signaled for him to get it. It was supposed to be a play action or counter of some sort. If you noticed practice that week leading up to the game, Taylor Graham took the 1st team reps the entire week, Ikaika the 2nd. So there was a slight miss-communication there. Thank goodness it didn’t affect our comeback in the end to win the game. Your right though, my son hasn’t done much running the ball yet with his 1st opportunities to do so in the game. I’m hoping he gets more opportunities and proves he can get the job done. Every family, friend, Father, and Mother would want that for there kid. That’s all we as a family can do is hope for the best in our kids. Take advantage of the opportunities that come. We all know that many times these opportunities come once in a life time. Need to make the best of them. Now or never or like I always tell my players, “If you can’t do your job, someone else will”. Continue to be blessed and stay blessed folks. Everything happens for a reason, lets hope the outcome is always positive.

Aloha! Go Bows!

Joey is a good young man. He made the kind of mistake that many young men have made. He is embarrassed and feels terrible. He will apologize to the team, family, and the court, and he will hopefully learn a lot from this mistake, and then go on to be a good member of our community.

I wish him well during this difficult time in his life. He will be fine.
