This freaking piss... me off that they picked Mykal Walker of Fresno who had 4 tackles, 2.5 for a loss and had a career interception while his stats are diminutive to 14 tackles, 3 for a loss and 1 for a sack of 5 yards. Come on MWC, get with the program and reward the right players for being the best in Conference! Who da freak made the choice and why?

Different RBs for different defenses. Furuta against the sjsu's and the army's and Holly against the Rice's and other bigger teams. We can use different styles when the situation calls for it, or at least it feels that way at the moment.

Re: Post San Jose State Game Thoughts?
There really no mentioned of "Wow 5 OT in a college game" on the news. No one is even talking about it (on the mainland). Not saying it's the same as a BCS champtionship, I figure that is note worthy, Hawaii or not. Many sports writers are rather blind to Hawaii. I do think there is an "agenda" to promote certain players (not always on purpose). Meaning, some Writers want to promote certain players because that was the guy they focused on when they were in HS. So when they make it to the pros, they can say...I know that guy when he was 16 years old.shrek2 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 01, 2018 4:39 pmThis freaking piss... me off that they picked Mykal Walker of Fresno who had 4 tackles, 2.5 for a loss and had a career interception while his stats are diminutive to 14 tackles, 3 for a loss and 1 for a sack of 5 yards.

Sort of like UH trying to promote Jeff Sydner for the Heisman, and Micheal Carter got more rushing yards in the game.

Re: Post San Jose State Game Thoughts?
I blame Matlin and the rest of the UH AD for not issuing a formal notice or protest of their choice. Clearly the numbers are there for Tavai but not for Walker. I can only imagine that they thought Toledo was tougher than San Jose.cabanalane wrote: ↑Tue Oct 02, 2018 4:55 amThere really no mentioned of "Wow 5 OT in a college game" on the news.

Re: Post San Jose State Game Thoughts?
We all like to think the game will take care of it self. But you are right, the AD is very important in "promoting" branding, marketing, and whatever terms they use know.
Greg Byrne was the AD at Arizona. He did an great job, and was hired away to Alabama last year. My point is, Tua is doing great in his own right. But there is the entire Alabama athletic machine behind everything they do. They are behind Tua. Promoting, pushing, getting the name and brand out. It can only be good for the University and the program.
In a strange way, I'm "gald" UH is not just throwing money into athletics. I don't think UH got the right AD (yet). People talk about committment and support. It's a waste of money if they just throw money at it.

Re: Post San Jose State Game Thoughts?
The Warriors got a mention on FOXNEWS with some highlights, Fox spotlighted only 2 college games and Hawaii's 5 OT win was one of them. but I don't think many here watch FOX—obviously, I do. lolcabanalane wrote: ↑Tue Oct 02, 2018 4:55 amThere really no mentioned of "Wow 5 OT in a college game" on the news.

Re: Post San Jose State Game Thoughts?
I couldn't watch the game. I like what I saw in every facet of the game in the replay. This is one helluva team we have this year. I also saw we had poor field position and crappy officiating.

Re: Post San Jose State Game Thoughts?
Not to overlook this weekend's game but I feel if we can play Fresno, SDSU, USU and BYU fairly even, we would have done really well for the season. But first we gotta get by a team that had 300+ yards rushing in their first game. BYU had a big turnaround this year from bottom 20 last year to top 25 this year. They had a bigger turnaround than we did.
Re: Post San Jose State Game Thoughts?
Huh? BYU is 3 - 2. Yes, I'd say we are similar to all of the teams listed above. At 5 - 1, I'd say we've already done very well on the season. Look, Hawaii is rarely ranked for obvious reasons. We are the most disadvantaged and overlooked program in the country. If not for Gov. Burns, we would probably not have a cfb team.shrek2 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 04, 2018 8:45 pm Not to overlook this weekend's game but I feel if we can play Fresno, SDSU, USU and BYU fairly even, we would have done really well for the season.

BYU played four teams from the Power 5.
"BYU is 3-2 and its games have included victories over Arizona and Wisconsin and losses to Cal and Washington."
Re: Post San Jose State Game Thoughts?
Yes, well...now they're 3-3 after a 45 - 20 pounding by Utah State. I haven't seen any BYU games this year so I can't say much about them.shrek2 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 05, 2018 8:08 am

If I hadn't made it clear earlier, BYU is in a far better position than Hawaii in terms of support for the program. BYU is always likely to be better than Hawaii. Too bad they aren't.
