I really believe that there are people in admin and high positions at UH who would like the football program to go away and go back to having a club team playing the likes of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii Marines, and The Prep All-Stars.

The coaches sit at a table, and the reporters rotate for interviews.
Well, except, for the Idaho writers. Petersen was so inaccessible in the past, the Boise writers would camp out at his table the entire session.

We lived 15+ years in Michigan, followed by another 2+ years in Georgia, with casinos, scratch tickets, PowerBall & MegaMillions, and everything else… and yet… in all those years, I’ve never met a single person/family who lost his/their car/house/spouse/kid(s)/whatevas due to having to pay off a loan shark.

Just because it’s there… and so readily available… doesn’t mean that everyone and their grandma has to become instantly addicted.

Safe travels and researching, ST and company!

In fact, the only time I would go to the casino was either to eat at the restaurant or catch a show/concert. But when I moved away and decided to visit Reno or Vegas, the urge to gamble was pretty strong. It was pretty weird and I couldn’t explain it. I finally figured it was the forbidden fruit thing where if something is illegal or not allowed, the urge only gets stronger its forbidden. Perhaps if gambling was ever legalized in Hawaii, locals wouldn’t have the urge because its not considered a forbidden fruit anymore.

Anyway, good night -sleep tight.

Thus, people already come here just for the island beauty and culture, now when you factor the added feature of gaming, well it really makes it singular in its appeal.

I think I have an uncontrollable craving to head out to the nearest casino and satisfy those so-called urges. Obviously it’s been awhile since I gambled. No worries, though, football is about to start and to be in parlay heaven!

The last proposal that I recall involved building just one casino on Oahu. I think Hawaii’s attraction will always be about the climate and scenery where gaming is just another recreational option for visitors, and not its main allure like Vegas or Macau. I think the goal shouldn’t be about turning Hawaii into a gaming mecca of the Pacific, but simply use gaming as a way of increasing tourism and extracting extra $$$ out of the pockets of tourist like Aruba or Nassau. I think that would work, but for some reason, the state just see’s it as a potential problem rather than a viable solution to increased revenue.
