Replace the 2015 Ohio St game?
Re: Replace the 2015 Ohio St game?
Okay, we've got both Wisconsin and Ohio State next year, but we've also got UC Davis and Louisiana Monroe. It's a wash as far as I'm concerned. If we can schedule 13 games, that means we'll have 11 winnable games. Coincidentally, Gary Andersen moved on, but Dave Aranda is still the defensive coordinator at Wisconsin.
Re: Replace the 2015 Ohio St game?
To beat Wisconsin in 2015 we'll have to emulate Ohio State's offense from the Big 10's Championship Game and the defense will have to make enough stops to cement the victory. But wait ... we still have Chowball. Instead of the offense scoring 59 points, Chow will lead the game 3-0 on a field goal on the opening drive and try to hold on to win 3-0, and fail miserably. I'm really looking forward to Chowball V4.0.SundayJam wrote:Okay, we've got both Wisconsin and Ohio State next year, but we've also got UC Davis and Louisiana Monroe.

Chow would need to win more MWC games in one season than he has managed in the past three to have a successful season. That will be a tall order with the core of the team graduating this year.SundayJam wrote:Okay, we've got both Wisconsin and Ohio State next year, but we've also got UC Davis and Louisiana Monroe.

Ohio State, Wisconsin...USC....they're gonna beat us...every year. It's time we give up the delusion that we're gonna be BCS busters. Yeah, we put up a good show against some good teams year in and year out. I count many of the good losses to good teams in recent years as good shows. Ohio St. and Whisky are good trades for UC Davis and UL Monroe. The rest is mediocre football...which we should win the majority of every year.Old Diver wrote:Chow would need to win more MWC games in one season than he has managed in the past three to have a successful season.

Scheduling Ohio St. is not the problem.

Re: Replace the 2015 Ohio St game?
If we had effective play-calling and an offense that wasn't run, run, short pass, we'd have a good chance. Playing tough teams are better morale builders vs beating "I Never Heard of U". I really hope Chow goes into the booth to call plays or releases the duties to someone without interfering like he stated in the article in today's SB paper.SundayJam wrote:My3Cats wrote: To beat Wisconsin in 2015 we'll have to emulate Ohio State's offense from the Big 10's Championship Game and the defense will have to make enough stops to cement the victory.

Be humble and confident in yourself and all things you do.

Games like this one against tOSU pay the bills. Lucky to get contracts like this.poi pounder wrote:What a sad reality, yeah? I see the benefits in both. Financially, stick with the OSU game. Boost morality, try to schedule a "winnable" game. Decisions, decisions...BigWave96744 wrote:you guys do realize that the last time we beat a bowl eligible team was once in 2011.
other than that you have to back to the 2010 WAC champion season.
we arent even a mid of the pack mid major.
recently, playing up is against Nevada, Utah St.

Re: Replace the 2015 Ohio St game?
I feel we have nine winnable games, all except tOSU, Wisky, AFA and Boise. All the rest are sucky teams. It remains to be seen if Chowball games are suckier than those teams.HawaiianHogster wrote:We have 7 winnable games next year. You want to go bowling win those. Go to OSU and feel what it is like to be big time.

I don't care how respectable we look. Just hand us over that check so we can keep the athletic department running.BigWave96744 wrote:We will either play the #1 or #2 Buckeye team next year as they just knocked of Alabama, in the Sugar Bowl, with their 3RD STRING QB
Urban Meyer got it going at Ohio St, 37-3 over 3 seasons.
He will have lots of returnees, including his 3 QB's
He racked up 2 National Champs, 11 straight winning seasons, 8-2 in bowl games (first year at Ohio St they were on probation), 5-1 in BCS Bowl games, and won BCS games at his last 3 stops, Utah, Florida and now Ohio St.
Up to now, I thought the Urban Meyer 2008 Florida team, led by Tim Tebow, was the most difficult game Hawaii ever played in.
Coming off the Sugar Bowl year we got beat 56-10.
Time for the coaches and team to step it up if they want keep the game respectable.

Aranda will want to totally shut down Chowball. I wouldn't blame him.SundayJam wrote:Okay, we've got both Wisconsin and Ohio State next year, but we've also got UC Davis and Louisiana Monroe.

Re: Replace the 2015 Ohio St game?
Hawaii will be favored in two games: UC-Davis and UL-Monroe. That is it. Maybe San Jose State, but I think that probably ends up +3 Hawaii too.
This will be Chow's flame out year. The culmination of all his terribleness coming to a climax. This is the money year where he takes his bad coaching to the next level.

How can you call other teams sucky when our signature wins in the Chow era was a home win over Wyoming and a game winning TD over UNLV
Re: Replace the 2015 Ohio St game?
Hahahahaha.... Eh, just because we're suckier, doesn't mean the team we play against aren't sucky.BigWave96744 wrote:How can you call other teams sucky when our signature wins in the Chow era was a home win over Wyoming and a game winning TD over UNLV
