The history of HAWAII football has never had a string of embarrassing and futile losses like the one we are currently in the midst of. What more needs to be said.

Our offense needs this badly: use QB Woolsey in a read-option offense–that way the defense needs to account Woolsey as a running QB; which creates an extra threat; and boy; do we need HELP on our offense right NOW. PLS LISTEN COACH CHOW!

Maybe alternate this offense every other series with Schroder; and see what works best. If anything; this would keep opposing defenses off balance preparing for 2 completely different offenses.

How about more trick plays (to also keep fans from saying our offense is boring)–what about a QB roll-out one way; and a throw back to the other side to another former QB; who can either pass downfield; or take off running?

Can we do the muddle-huddle at least once a game (this is still legal right?); and the hook and ladder; or statue of liberty play like Boise St did in their famous Fiesta Bowl win? Please bring excitement back to Warrior football Coach!

For one or two series; use the triple-option offense (like Air Force) with either Woolsey or Keelan Ewalike at QB; and again use this to completely surprise the defense in trying to stop another completely different offense. THIS WOULD BE SO ENTERTAINING TO US FANS TO SEE EXTREME CREATIVITY–we would be the only team in the country to use 3 completely different offenses in one game—wouldn’t that at least make ESPN NATIONAL HEADLINES and attract recruits?

#116 are you serious??? Under your play our players will miss 34 days of school during the fall semester.bas it stands now, they leave Thursday and back on Sunday. That’s a day and half times 6 games.

Don’t that your recommendation will go over well with upper campus. But that’s thinking outside the box.

The team has proven its talent and we have witnessed many moments of greatness. It seems they have what it takes but something in them is holding them back. Thought we’d win against FSU last week then SJSU this past weekend but now I think it just depends when the team feels it all at the same time. They are amazing yet somehow they don’t feel as confident as they should and their hesitations translate as such on the field.

Went to my alumni marching band flag practice today and our instructor (the color guard manager) said it’s the senior band members who are traveling to the UNLV game. (They are leaving tonite.)

We talked about how lucky they are!

Back then, we traveled only for basketball games at one per year and I think we needed to be a concert band member which meant we needed to be full-time band members.

GO BAND!! GO WARRIORS!! SAFE TRAVELS!!

UH should play their first 3 games at home. The next 3 on the road. The next 3 at home.
The next 3 on the road. The last game 13th to be played at home.

Stay on the mainland for 17 days. With the MWC assistance schedule 3 road games that
are in close proximity so that travel and cost can be minimzed. Travel on Thursday play
on Saturday and leave for the next city that night. Get acclimated in that city play on Saturday and leave for the last city that night. Get acclimated and play on Friday if possible and leave for home that night. Do the same thing on the last road trip.

Advantages is that the fans get to see UH play mostly in September. Attendance should be decent if UH wins the lst two. When they are on the road hopefully they can win 1 of 3. Win 2 and the fans will be waiting for the next homestand. Again win 2, especially the lst two will help the interest and attendance. Back on the road for their 2nd and last road trip. If they win 2 games again the last game is icing on the cake.

If the cost will be less or about the same doing their traveling this way why not. I believe the acclimation process would be easier to adjust to and give them a better chance to win both on the road and at home.

You’re right about the receivers. I didn’t mean to imply that is was Graham’s bad. Just pointing out that the trust wasn’t there. The drops were definitely part of it. But they have shown the past two games that they will go up and try (and are capable) to get it.

Did Tomey have more wins in his first two years? What about Jones? There’s probably no chance for Chow to match his predecessors. So what?

I’m still okay with where we are. Wished it was better but it is what it is. Team needs support. I supported all of the teams since coach Holmes. It was hard at sometimes but this is my team. I am a fan all of the time.
