Great Morning All!

Extra “day off” today…to be spent in bed trying to nurse a sore back (not a broke back, homey!) 🙁

Mahalo Garret and TOM- Also, Texas is a GREAT place for UH to recruit players. Door swings both ways.
I still believe that Coach Jones loves Hawaii (his Foundation is one reason to believe) and is really trying to do his part to help UH.

GARRET: Your point in scheduling and recruiting is well-taken. In the case of JJ, it would seem that his offers for the next several years has been in Texas and is a bigger area too begin with in recruiting than in Hawaii and Samoa. It may be that we are too concern with him “poaching” in our part of the world.

I would be more concerned with the western US (ie Washington, Oregon, Utah, Colorado) where the population is comparatively small and they have to go far afield in recruiting. Of course if there is a superstar(s) in our area, the coaches may wander over here to see if they are interested.

Maybe Doris has some thoughts on that – but this is my 2 cents and in these days, 2 cents doesn’t go too far.

Good morning Tsai-kos!!

roysan – #309 – the rock wall at Kawainui Marsh is actually a levee.

I remember seeing a brown owl (Hawaiian owl?) fly across Honolulu (at least from my vantage point up on Round Top) every evening during the summer waaaay back when I was a kid.

As for the WAC kicking UH and LaTech out – isn’t UH the senior member? When did FSU and SJSU join the conference?

The biggest power that UH can get on its side for scheduling is ESPN. UH fills a time slot for ESPN that no other team can fill, and UH can bring ratings to that time slot with the right opponent. ESPN is already setting up a lot of special telecasts of football games for other schools, but nothing so far for UH for the upcoming season.

Even more than smoozing college Presidents or ADs, the lure of a national TV broadcast on ESPN will get teams lining up to play UH.

i think also if the elected hawaii officials elected to congress smmoze with other states congress people and ask other states congress people to get word back to the college prez to keep UH in mind in future scheduling would help, imo. it can’t hurt.

it all about smmoozing

if the prez obama just intimated the idea to a colleague “keep hawaii in mind in future schedule” could work wonders.

why not do what hugh did, bring in a bunch of ads’ for a weekend of golf and getting to know each other. ask the airlines and hotels for help cause they will benefit when the other schools come here.
