Game day: BYU
By Stephen Tsai
Provo — A past generation's rivalry continues when UH and BYU play in today's nationally televised game.
The Cougars' offense has received some heat after struggling (by their standards) in the past two games against rivals Utah and Boise State. BYU offensive coordinator Brandon Doman told Provo reporters this week: "I'm the leader, the master of the design, and I think you're perfectly designed to get the results you get. The results we are getting are not what we want so we have to change the design. I need to ask more of the guys in the way that they practice and holding ourselves accountable. Our staff has to coach these guys better so we can eliminate the mistakes we are making."
The Warriors, of course, have had their own problems.
The Warriors began game day with a walk in downtown Provo.

It's not too late to wish happy birthday to executive assistant Lacey Lavarias.

Coach Norm Chow's mother, his brother and his sister-in-law drove the 6 hours from Boise to attend this game.

This apparently is fullback Justin Vele's first trip to the mainland.

This is like the Bat Phone. No keys to punch. Pick it up, and I guess a BYU honcho answers:

Happy GameDay, Gang!
Took forever to load the WB today. Also looking at a new format. Not the old one that I'm used to. Hope things speed up in the future. May take forever in logging in when there's more than a couple hundred posts... plus pics.
Anyways, Let's go, Warriors!!!

We all have our days. It's Justin, not Jason Vele and it's Joey, not Jack Iosefa. But, good try. Going to Provo now with our tour group. What a beautiful day in Salt Lake City. Blue skies, a few clouds. Yeah, we're in the good seats, buddy!!!!!!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 7:24 am
Great Morning All!
IT'S FRIDAY!
Are You Ready?
September 28th, 2012 at 7:26 am
Derek,
I know it's Joey. Was just messing around as ST said Jason instead of Justin....just a little joke to start off the day!
September 28th, 2012 at 7:27 am
Happy Warrior Game Day!
September 28th, 2012 at 7:30 am
Gambatte Warriors! Do well today 'gainst [snickers] the Cougars.

September 28th, 2012 at 7:30 am
Hopefully Jordan Puu-Robinson can make an impact in the DL rotation; that Alisa guy is a load at RB for da kitties. B$-You has reloaded a pretty good DL and that guy was bashing 'em.
Gotta play stout, fellas! GO WARRIORS!
September 28th, 2012 at 7:34 am

You ain't kidding! Da reloads taking long time!
September 28th, 2012 at 7:35 am
Oh, dea. Das bettah.

Go Warriors - difference between impossible and possible is determination
September 28th, 2012 at 7:41 am
42-17 BYU
September 28th, 2012 at 7:42 am
Actually 42-13. Hard to get into end zone against BYU
September 28th, 2012 at 7:42 am
Kekoa,
I would but kinda worried LizKauai will give me da slippah now that she's present here. Da blog was running slow earlier...
September 28th, 2012 at 7:43 am
Gameday! Let's Go Warriors!
September 28th, 2012 at 7:43 am
ST, maybe. Do I need to warn Dr. Beer (Lightning Brewery)?
September 28th, 2012 at 8:03 am
J ~ You do make an important point. I have been close enuff to the dreaded slippah to suffer collateral damage. There's a certain legal wordsmith from Hilo than can tetsify to the true impact of a direct hit.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:05 am
Not unless its a pick 6 into the endzone.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:06 am
Google Earth search of Epic Talent apparently turned up a very poor run

Jason?????? Me thinks thin air getting to the Tsaimaster. Aieeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 8:10 am
Too bad Chris Brown and Laanui Correa are busy today....woulda been nice for them to sit outside the BY-Who coaches' box and "wave" at Brandon Doman!

***Off-Topic***
UH softball head coach Bob Coolen on ESPN 1420am this morning:
Softball HC Bob Coolen on ESPN 1420 AM this morning:
-Mentions LBSU and Cal St. Fullerton as “rivals” in the Big West. Disappointed with loss of Pacific after this upcoming season. Will be playing AT UOP in final game of the conference season.
-Echoes same sentiment as women’s volleyball in that there is no time for “posturing” in the Big West regular season as there is no tournament like the WAC. Top team at the end of the regular season gets the auto bid to the NCAAs.
-Fresno State doesn’t appear to be on the schedule for non-conference games for a few years. Addition of Boise State and SDSU to the Big West Softball schedules doesn’t make room for it.
-Says make-up of the program will change drastically after this season following the departures of Kaia Parnaby, Kelly Majam, and Jessica Iwata. Capable incoming freshman this season followed by a strong recruiting class for 2013. LOI for 2013 comes this November. (Those recruits just completed their official vists this past weekend.)
-Parnaby #1 for sure and at the time says Keiki Carlos looking to be a strong #2 behind her. Says has good command of her pitches and working with different grips with her on the ball and encorporating more "up and down" movement. Expects Parnaby to throw 35-40 games of the 56 scheduled for this season. Has lefty freshman Loie Kesterson in the mix as well. Will have three pitchers for sure on staff this season.
-Has teams like Washington, CAL, Baylor, Alabama-Birmingham, and Memphis on the home non-conference schedule. Will face teams like UCLA and BYU on road at UNLV as part of Louisville Slugger Desert Classic Tourney in February. Full schedule not finalized for release yet.
-Still no word on status of admission for softball games. Hasn’t heard a word from administration since the summer.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:34 am
I couldn't load the SA blogs for the longest time this morning. Glad I made it at 9 am.
GO WARRIORS!!!
GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU!
September 28th, 2012 at 8:36 am
It looks like it's gonna be another humid day in HNL.
Thank goodness for a/c.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:40 am
GO WARRIORS!
GO NUTS!
BEAT BYU!
ST, gotta stop by either Burger Supreme or the Malt Shoppe. It's all good.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:41 am
it will be an interesting softball season without stephanie ricketts.
the good thing is that this team should score some runs.
i always felt that they should have charged admission from last year. the program could use the revenue and i am sure that the fan base would continue to support it. perhaps outsourcing the gate and a kiosk type concession stand to accomodate the fans and generate some income based upon a percentage of the take would work. thus eliminating the management of such operations.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:46 am
49-10 BYU
September 28th, 2012 at 8:48 am
MartyBoy...i caught your joke.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:49 am
wow gigi...that's a first.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:49 am
Good freshman class from last season with Liilii and Wartner. If this year’s freshman make some noise, the combination of all that plus the recruits that recently visted representing the 2013 class (that hopefully sign their LOIs in two months) should help keep moving things forward towards another crack at the WCWS.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:57 am
Haha J and Kekoa...
IT'S SLIPPAH TIME!!!!
No talking steenk or disparaging our WARRIORS!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 8:59 am
gigi- me too... couldn't get on the blog server earlier...
Got the dvr all programmed... looks like ESPN and ESPNU will be re-broadcasting too...
GO WARRIORS!
September 28th, 2012 at 9:20 am
I bet BYU doesn't think a game with UH is a rivalry.
No matter, GO WARRIORS.
Way to go WAHINE. Many fans were wearing their empty seat halloween costume.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:20 am
Almost time for battle Warriors!!!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 9:26 am
#58, Jimmy the lock,
I always think the same thing. I always wonder if our big rivalries are really rivalries. The only ones I know that we have in the past 15 years are ones where other teams (BYU & Boise) always beat us and we finally beat them. But in hindsight they are doing the same thing to all the other teams. We aren't really anything special to them. I think we need to change that.
Nevada would be a good one to start a true college rivalry with. I am sure they would love one with us since we have beat them here for the past like 70 years and they finally won a game. They probably think we are big rivals.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:26 am
What Jason Vele will learn on his first mainland trip:
Hawaii rice mo bettah
Hawaii weather mo bettah
Hawaii aloha mo bettah
Hawaii football mo bettah
Everybody on da mainland hate BYU too
September 28th, 2012 at 9:27 am
No forget to celebrate. Today is:
National Drink Beer Day
September 28th, 2012 at 9:29 am
Nevada Reno get UNLV as their rivals. Usually the rivals are in-state. Tell UH-Hilo go make one team.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:31 am
# 58. Yeah. I don't think "the rivalry" was ever explained, no? Seemed relevant re: Ty Detmer's Heisman. But, the rivalry seems a bit subdued this time around in this day and age of quick electronic news, tech' and such.
Mainland + free national TV coverage + Friday games on their own give the Warriors the willies, admittedly. Let's hope all three cancel each other out today.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:31 am
So, the over/under is 52 and the spread is 28. How does that equate in terms of the score?
September 28th, 2012 at 9:32 am
Anyone a big fan of Jason Bieber? And what ever happened to Jason Timberlake?
September 28th, 2012 at 9:36 am
Roosevelt math says:
52 divided by 2 then +/- 28 divided by 2 = 40 - 12
September 28th, 2012 at 9:36 am
OK, I figured it out: Oddsmakers predict 40-12.
That's a 28-point spread adding to 52.
Then again, there were some half points in there, so, heck, just play the game.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:37 am
Thanks Kakaako Kid.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:38 am
Al:
Why don't you put together a formal proposal concerning a softball admission fee/revenue-generating activities and then submit it to the Acting Director of Athletics Rockne Freitas, the Chancellor at the University of Hawai`i at Manoa Tom Apple, the Faculty Senate's Chair Bonnyjean Manini, ASUH President Richard Mizusawa, and the Executive Administrator and Secretary of the Board of RegentsKeith Amemiya. Let me know if I can help you out.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:38 am
@Stephen Tsai
There's either no correlation or the spread determines the chance of going to OT and thus giving the basis for the over/under score.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:52 am
@ jimmy the lock
Don't know about Jason Timberlake, but Justin Timberlake is at the Ryder Cup as a Team Ambassador.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:56 am
A guy who wins nearly 50% of the time says using a number basis, OVER takers are playing UH scores more than 12, while UNDER takers are playing FYU scores less than 40.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:57 am
Either Provo has the friendliest sales people or I look like a shoplifter.
September 28th, 2012 at 10:00 am
I'm anxious to see how BYU tries to attack UH's defense. All week, all we've heard is how fascinated about facing man-press corners. It should be an interesting matchup between Cody Hoffman and Mike Edwards.
September 28th, 2012 at 10:08 am
Just so byu doesn't score on the first offensive play...
September 28th, 2012 at 10:14 am
Howzit Tsaikos everywhere.

What time does the game start in Provo?
September 28th, 2012 at 10:24 am
Game supposed to start at 6 p.m. MT. But this is an ESPN telecast. It could start late and finish never.
September 28th, 2012 at 10:30 am
Got gloves?
September 28th, 2012 at 10:31 am
BYU going try pound through the Warrior defense. What better ally than altitude.
September 28th, 2012 at 10:38 am
Wow, just had to free up space on the DVR for the Ryder Cup AND the game - all on ESPN. Whew! GO WARRIORS!

September 28th, 2012 at 10:56 am
It is the best time to make some plans for the long run and it's time to be happy. I have read this publish and if I may I desire to counsel you few fascinating issues or advice. Perhaps you could write subsequent articles relating to this article. I wish to read even more issues about it!

September 28th, 2012 at 11:32 am
1420 has "This week in the MW" on now.
September 28th, 2012 at 11:38 am
I think BYU could pressure our defense by running over, under and around our line. One can hope they will disregard what Nevada did to our run defense last week and decide to pass for 95% of the time.
September 28th, 2012 at 11:41 am
Did someone say PSY?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0
September 28th, 2012 at 11:44 am
If man defense doesn't work, I hope they quickly switch to some sort of zone defense outside of the red zone. Bend don't break... is better than what happened with Nevada. Tonight, we even have less players to call upon and less oxygen, too. Zone would help them last longer on the field.
September 28th, 2012 at 11:46 am
I am still waitng for the opponent to throw flat passes to either side with UH corners playing soft.
Then, the corners start to back off just before the snap and when they see the QB looking to the flat, keep an eye of the receiver and spurt forward to intercept for a pic-6.
BTW, the USC flat pass for TD only worked because the inside receiver "held" the UH linebacker or nickel - adda wise only short gain!
September 28th, 2012 at 11:48 am
Yes.
PICK 6!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 11:49 am
A-House...
Dat sounds like a zone type defense to me...
September 28th, 2012 at 11:49 am
al:
was it you or ST that mentioned a "limited" number of football scholarships 2013 - is it because the prior coaching staff failed to plan correctly?
I do know that they were trying to correct the lopsidedness of available scholarships.
September 28th, 2012 at 11:54 am
hey, MIH!
no, play'um man 2 man - coaches gotta give the "green light" to the players - only way to learn if it will work.
cushion is good for sitting, but not pass defense - ever notice tht UH D gives way to much "space" to receivers? is this an admission that UH corners are slower or receivers are faster or both or just plain ole good defensive strategy?
is there a "rule" on bumping and keeping a receiver near the line of scrimmage? will the refs call "holding" even if there was no holding?
September 28th, 2012 at 11:54 am
UH will be getting back some scholarships at mid-year, like from Rykin Enos and Dylan McCagg. They're set to graduate in December so, essentially, they received one-semester scholarships.
September 28th, 2012 at 11:56 am
Clark Evans made the trip.
September 28th, 2012 at 11:58 am
speaking of holding - we were watching the "pro game" last night and saw the blocking back #48 actually tackle the DE in the backfield which drew the yellowflag or towel - very funny, very funny!
someone said that #48 was a Dline guy before and reason he tackled the DE
September 28th, 2012 at 11:59 am
Happy Birthday to Lacey Lavarias! Happy Family Reunion Wishes to Coach Chow & Ohana!
September 28th, 2012 at 12:06 pm
my bags are packed, i'm ready to go
away from work to see the show
run 'n pass to score TDs
and the D with 4 turnovers
September 28th, 2012 at 12:09 pm
I think the pounding UH took from as we now know not so formidable USC and the pounding UH took from Nevada who never won at Aloha Stadium, BYU will Kill UH. I predict 55-10 BYU. When BYU played at Aloha Stadium just awile ago, they had their way with UH.
September 28th, 2012 at 12:13 pm
They're serving bacon wrap.
And steak.
I'm lovin' this place.
September 28th, 2012 at 12:20 pm
If you wrap a bacon around a steak, you can travel back in time..
To time when you were eating bacon wrapped steak.
September 28th, 2012 at 12:21 pm
the limited scholarships are due to having a small senior class and so many underclassmen. you can only have 85 total scholarships.
hopefully Dejon Allen, Anthony Pierce and/or Ron Fields can takeover Enos & McCagg's scholarship in january.
September 28th, 2012 at 12:23 pm
One more Owah. Gooooo Wariooooors!
September 28th, 2012 at 12:25 pm
There's flexibility. Allen, Pierce, Fields, Faalologo can count toward the 2012 class.
September 28th, 2012 at 12:25 pm
Just as the run and shoot has to develop a rythm to be potent, Norm Chow's pro set hasn't developed that rythm. 3 and out will not help the defense. I am not convinced Robocop is like a Ty Detmer, Jim Mcmahon, Gifford Nielson to run this offense effectively. He is not a scrambler, has a slow pass release. He is a good leader but that alone does not win ballgames. I still will root for Robocop. Also the receiving corps does not have a Devon Bess, Greg Salas, Jason Rivers money receiver.
September 28th, 2012 at 12:26 pm
GO WARRIORS!!!
make us proud!!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 12:28 pm
wats the deal w Fields? hear hes tryna go pac12

September 28th, 2012 at 12:37 pm
uh 13 - byu 54
September 28th, 2012 at 12:43 pm
okay. I'm gonna tape the game and watch it tonight when I get home. So, nobody say anything about the game . . . okay?
September 28th, 2012 at 12:46 pm
if BYU runs the offense they ran against Boise, we won't get hammered like Nevada did to us. If BYU runs more option/ read option, we are gonna get spanked. IMO
September 28th, 2012 at 12:46 pm
Go Warriors!!!!!!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 12:46 pm
Bwahahaha!
September 28th, 2012 at 12:46 pm
I will be rooting for UH but It's going to be another embarassing show on national television..smh
September 28th, 2012 at 12:49 pm

Yeah because Hawaiis getting lickens!!
September 28th, 2012 at 12:51 pm

must be an echo in here. lol
September 28th, 2012 at 12:54 pm
ooh look! triple negative!
September 28th, 2012 at 12:55 pm
The word on the BYU website is that freshman Taysom Hill will start for the Cougars in place of injured senior Riley Nelson. I'm not sure if that's good or bad for UH. Hill is inexperienced but has a good arm and is an excellent runner. Nelson is less mobile but is very experienced, tough and a leader. Hopefully the UH defense can confuse the freshman and get pressure on him without letting him escape the pocket for big gainers.
September 28th, 2012 at 12:55 pm
I don't know what the outcome will be...but I think it will turn out better than the ney sayers think.
September 28th, 2012 at 12:56 pm
our DC has problems scheming against read option offenses, his 5th gear only defense plays into the hands of those types of offenses. IMO
September 28th, 2012 at 12:59 pm
Freshman Taysom Hill to start.
Joey Iosefa won't play, it appears.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:01 pm
Next man up!
September 28th, 2012 at 1:02 pm

September 28th, 2012 at 1:03 pm

September 28th, 2012 at 1:03 pm

As a taxpayer, you; let me re-phrase that; those that think as I do, that we have a right to concern ourselves with this.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:19 pm
Eh, so the replacement refs had to go SOMEPLACE, right?

God Bless. Bringing stretcher for Geordon.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:45 pm
the announcers talking bout hanohano's leg, but it look more like the neck got whip-lashed.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:45 pm
Hard to say but I think it is a neck injury.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:46 pm
Geordon throwing up the shaka as he gets carted off the field on a stretcher.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:46 pm

September 28th, 2012 at 1:47 pm

September 28th, 2012 at 1:56 pm
oh boy, another DT down, sh!t!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 1:56 pm
Matagiese is now down. 2nd DT to go down.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:56 pm
This is going to get effen ugly.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:57 pm
Unreal!
September 28th, 2012 at 1:57 pm
Anae using his head as a weapon to take out our tackles.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:58 pm
I've been surfing on-line more than three hours these days, yet I never discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is lovely value enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you did, the internet can be much more helpful than ever before.
September 28th, 2012 at 1:58 pm
I remember some football kickers playing with a lead toe.
I wonder if you could put a hunk of lead in your helmet,
padded of course, and knock out your opponents legally...
September 28th, 2012 at 1:58 pm
damn Anae twice helmet to helmet hits
September 28th, 2012 at 1:59 pm
looks like the same BYU LG using his helmut as a battering ram into our players head. Hanohano and his replacement got hit the same way.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:00 pm
September 28th, 2012 at 2:00 pm
Pau. Too much helmet to helmet... poopoo kaka...
September 28th, 2012 at 2:01 pm
Disagree.
Contact with Hano was initial charge coming out of stance. Unfortunate, but can't fault that IMO.
Second one...debatable
September 28th, 2012 at 2:02 pm
#56 from BYU needs to get ejected from the game. he has to have a metal plate in his helmet..SMH..thoughts and prayers to our boys..let's go Warriors!!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:03 pm
Wow... laughing and congratulating the guy for taking out two of our guys with helmet to helmet hits.
Stay classy, Provo. Stay classy.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:03 pm
Doesn't look good when number 56 for BYU is yucking it up on the sideline. What the hell?
September 28th, 2012 at 2:03 pm
Prayers to our fallen Warriors!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:03 pm
why is that f... ing #54 on cougar team smiling asshole
September 28th, 2012 at 2:04 pm
Effing Anae is smirking on the sideline...
September 28th, 2012 at 2:04 pm
Prayers for Saui & Geordan.
The should kick BYU 56 out of the game.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:04 pm
Clip clip clip. Go for it. Clip um.
Nah nah.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:04 pm
When LizKauai swears, you know it's bad.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:05 pm
Rule book quote that ESPN guy read seems painfully clear. This is shameful.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:05 pm
Is he related to the doctor?
September 28th, 2012 at 2:05 pm
Talking heads running on about useless rules.
Ban facemasks...pau head and neck injuries.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:05 pm
yeah, clip um.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:06 pm
Not many people tougher than Bronco Mendenhall carrys over to his team.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:06 pm
Warriors you know what you got to do with that guy.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:06 pm
And the Refs will now keep an eye out for BYU 56. Yeah the jerk that's laughing on the sideline with his teammates. No class
September 28th, 2012 at 2:06 pm
Just say it people.
One of our boys needs to cripple that P.O.S.
Blow up his knee. Deliberate or not. No need be sly. Eye gouge. Whatever it takes.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:06 pm
we going need our O-lineman to play DT
September 28th, 2012 at 2:06 pm
Matagiese appears to be able to move hands and legs.
BYU RB Michael Alisa has arm in a sling. He's done for the night, too.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:07 pm
Mendenhall just needs to bench this joker.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:08 pm
Tough loss for Hawaii
Lets Go Cougars!!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:09 pm
Oh my god, I just got back. I'm so sorry for Matagiese and Hanohano. That was clearly a cheap shot. Then the guy doesn't even show any remorse.. I'm freakin' angry right now....
September 28th, 2012 at 2:09 pm
PLEASE tell me somebody else saw Anae mocking Matagiese falling down after his neck injury! What a f*cking prick
September 28th, 2012 at 2:09 pm
not trying to be funny, but how many stretchers do they have in Provo?
September 28th, 2012 at 2:10 pm
Great D, Mike Edwards.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:10 pm
Nice!! First Down!!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:10 pm
We're too slow
September 28th, 2012 at 2:11 pm
Lots of byu players snickering as ours get carted off in ambulances. Byu has no class
September 28th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
236, he was explaining what happened to our DT to #54 of BYU who was laughing.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
236 apparently us and ESPN, what about his coach?!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
INT!!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
yes, intercepted!!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
September 28th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
We need more like Phillips.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
#230 Kevin,
I feel guilty for agreeing.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
Great play D!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
we needed that baaaad
September 28th, 2012 at 2:13 pm
Way to go DB's!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:13 pm
YES! Big interception. We needed that. Thank you, Mr. Philips!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:13 pm
that Hawaii DB is good.
Come on Cougars!!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:13 pm
Come on offense. We need a score and to give the D a rest.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:14 pm
Catch by BRS.

September 28th, 2012 at 2:14 pm
BRS=courage
September 28th, 2012 at 2:15 pm
Maybe that bar of lead in #56's helmet was just his brains...
September 28th, 2012 at 2:15 pm
We need to start taking out their knees
September 28th, 2012 at 2:15 pm
YESSSSS!!! Good Job DEEE!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:15 pm
Sorry, my bad...
September 28th, 2012 at 2:16 pm
Iwwthm,
Why feel guilty?
Question. Was agreeing word for word with what I said the FIRST thing that entered your mind?
If so, go with your FIRST instinct. It’s usually the most correct one.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:16 pm
OK, pin 'em back.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:16 pm
the color announcer is clueless, west coast and pro set offense are different
September 28th, 2012 at 2:16 pm
Good fake by the BYU returner...
September 28th, 2012 at 2:18 pm

September 28th, 2012 at 2:27 pm
Wes'side Warrior: I'm on the right blog.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:27 pm

September 28th, 2012 at 2:27 pm
Well, that's why they practice...

September 28th, 2012 at 2:31 pm
This high floating passes keep exposing our receivers. C'mon get it together.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:31 pm
282. our DC only knows one gear, 5th gear.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:31 pm
SAWARRIOR,

No zip. You killing your own man with no zip.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:31 pm
Laiecoug you have no class just like your team
September 28th, 2012 at 2:31 pm
Nakoa: I believe I'm on the right blog. No one is cheering for Hawaii here. You all must be Cougar fans.
LOL!
Lets Go Y!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:32 pm

September 28th, 2012 at 2:33 pm
Thanks for illustrating my point
September 28th, 2012 at 2:34 pm
No Class?
Please continue to encourage your players to gouge our players' eyes and break our players knees because obviously, Hawaii can't play any real football.
Lets Go Y!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:35 pm
296 LMAO good one!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:35 pm
Tony Grimes with a couple of nice plays... Nice job Tony...
September 28th, 2012 at 2:35 pm
Come on Defense. Need a stop!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:35 pm
Hope UH wakes up - so far' poor tackling and terrible offense! Bring back the RNS or replace the QB. QB throws only floaters - no zip!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:35 pm
Good sack. Alright offense, your turn.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:35 pm
Hows that for real football?
September 28th, 2012 at 2:36 pm
Looked like two dumbass plays by the mormons
September 28th, 2012 at 2:36 pm
Finally a good defensive stop!

Let's go, offense! Give us a good, sustained drive to pay dirt!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:37 pm
UH defense held. BYU punted. Here we go Warriors!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:38 pm
Jerry Sandusky went to byu
September 28th, 2012 at 2:39 pm
How is it my fault your team happens to be inferior and can't play up to D-1 standards?
Show some pride and stick up for your team. Who knows, they might get good in the second half.
Lets Go Y!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:39 pm

September 28th, 2012 at 2:39 pm
Any word on Saui yet?
September 28th, 2012 at 2:39 pm

September 28th, 2012 at 2:40 pm

September 28th, 2012 at 2:41 pm

September 28th, 2012 at 2:44 pm
And thank god we have one hell of a punter
September 28th, 2012 at 2:45 pm
A well-executed punt and cover. 1st of the year?
September 28th, 2012 at 2:45 pm
We gotta execute. Gotta keep moving them chains!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:45 pm
SS is better than inoke IMO
September 28th, 2012 at 2:45 pm
hey nakoa da mormons kicking dat ---.

Steven Kenji Imai you get home right now!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:47 pm

i know this is the least of our worries, but we need better looking uniforms, go back to Nike
September 28th, 2012 at 2:48 pm
so many missed tackles
September 28th, 2012 at 2:48 pm
Manoa your mom stay calling
September 28th, 2012 at 2:48 pm
Nakoa, a victory over a community college doesn't make Hawaii better than us. Don't give up on your Warriors. Cougars love competition!
Lets Go Y!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:48 pm
oh boy
September 28th, 2012 at 2:49 pm
Hawaii blocks the extra point!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:49 pm
Nice pat
September 28th, 2012 at 2:49 pm
ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:49 pm
Why does that keep happening? Break through the front line and NO ONE is there. It's happened at USC, it's happened w/ Nevada and now Provo.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:49 pm
i think Riley Nelson just lost his starting QB job
September 28th, 2012 at 2:49 pm
Really Kaumeyer?
September 28th, 2012 at 2:49 pm
Some body gotta stay on that QB!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:50 pm
Hawaii looks like a DII team.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:50 pm
This Is horrible
September 28th, 2012 at 2:50 pm
345. its our safety's play IMO. i been saying it from the USC game
September 28th, 2012 at 2:51 pm
where is #9? he had alot of tackles last week? Frustrated, bet we couldnt WRAP a present either.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:52 pm
Thought Kaumeyer was supposed to be the real deal? This is embarrassing
September 28th, 2012 at 2:52 pm
SAWARRIOR - agreed. Is it the scheme or is it players biting when the shouldn't?
September 28th, 2012 at 2:52 pm
we making the freshman QB look great
September 28th, 2012 at 2:52 pm
We run any slants yet? Haven't heard of any yet on the radio.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:53 pm
Good to have Billy Ray back.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:53 pm
kden laie #312 let's keep it to da teams and leave personalities out
bruddah WW I hurting like you but we show class

September 28th, 2012 at 2:53 pm
Ok... back again... had to do some WORK at work!
God Bless.
Play on, WARRIORS!
Now Pau Hana...
September 28th, 2012 at 2:54 pm
354, hard to say. i watching on tv and cant see the whole field
September 28th, 2012 at 2:54 pm
Too many loco mocos
September 28th, 2012 at 2:54 pm
Very POOR tackling! What will the coaches excuse will be this week? Outplayed and out coached. UH QB too slow on his feet! Chow needs to wake up and try something different. Give the RnS QB a chance. Wagner, J Jones, and Mack were correct; with the talent we got, the option is the way to go.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:55 pm
We're outmanned.
DT's woulda had a rough day going in...now UH is down to only Haku Correa as DT.
That last TD Beau Yap was lined up as DT and couldn't eat up the C to prevent him from getting to the 2nd level. One LB blitzed the left side; the other one got doubled by the C and a slot....TD.
That won't be the last one today...
September 28th, 2012 at 2:56 pm
From the radio... both Warriors at the hospital were negative for neck injuries!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:56 pm
espn cuts away to baseball, ultimate insult lol
September 28th, 2012 at 2:56 pm
Even ESPN gave up on UH - went to baseball!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:57 pm
This is interesting... lets watch a No Hitter instead.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:57 pm
X-ray reports neg, that is good news. What gives with 9th inning Cincinnati-Philly game?
September 28th, 2012 at 2:57 pm
Baseball? WTF
September 28th, 2012 at 2:57 pm
#352 the dummy db coach jones don't know who da hell he like put in the game. all his first team players rre sitting now. das y hard he come from da canadian league. shdud of kept miano he from da nfl.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:57 pm
364, thank god!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:57 pm
This has got to be the ultimate jinx for a no-hitter!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:58 pm
Wes'side Warrior, that's good news.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:58 pm
They are making us watch a baseball game now...
September 28th, 2012 at 2:58 pm
nakoa da mormons kicking da warriors A--.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:59 pm
Time to go and hit some golf balls! Too frustrated watching poor play by U H!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:59 pm
Sack Attack!
September 28th, 2012 at 2:59 pm
356. negative, i didn't see any quick slants on our part. no screens either
September 28th, 2012 at 2:59 pm
Don't give up, defense! Let's go!
September 28th, 2012 at 3:00 pm
....a cover sack at dat!
September 28th, 2012 at 3:00 pm
let um know laie.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:01 pm
Common Pirates, get a hit!
September 28th, 2012 at 3:02 pm
no respect by espn but i understand the no hitter is better then wathing those sorry warriors get lickens.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:02 pm
Who cares about a potential no-hitter ESPN!!!! We're watching Warrior Football and so what if the score is 20 zip!!!' Geeez!
September 28th, 2012 at 3:02 pm
Great.....baseball now. Argh!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 3:02 pm
Hold by the D!
Let's GO!
September 28th, 2012 at 3:02 pm
NO NO!
September 28th, 2012 at 3:03 pm
u know, the offense has an excuse for not having the right players for its scheme, but no excuse for the defense, even with 2 DTs out.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:03 pm
ESPN - you suck
September 28th, 2012 at 3:03 pm
Luckily, ESPN found an excuse to pull the plug on this sad affair.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:03 pm
Come on offense. We need some points before the half.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:04 pm
So Homer got the no-hitter, can we have our game back? (funny name for a pitcher)

Manoa you should use Kenji#1 as you blog alias it looks better.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:05 pm
Good job Deee!!
Lets Go Y!!
September 28th, 2012 at 3:06 pm
Actually, though... isn't this ESPN broadcast due to an arrangement with BYU? Or is this a broadcast on Hawaii's behalf?
September 28th, 2012 at 3:07 pm
SAWARRIOR,
Kaumeyer is now short 4 DT's. Just saying....
September 28th, 2012 at 3:07 pm
Stooopid helmet rule. Never ever heard of anyone getting hurt without one.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:08 pm
Lets try blaming it on the NTCC! "National TV Coverage Curse" i hope at halftime - (we) i can regroup.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:08 pm
Pu'u Robinson in at DE
September 28th, 2012 at 3:09 pm
Wes'side Warrior,
This ESPN broadcast is due to their arrangement with BYU. The MWC doesn't have a formal TV contract with ESPN.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:10 pm
Sacrifice a laptop!
Wrong HC
September 28th, 2012 at 3:10 pm
Whew!
Half.
Gotta regroup.
Let's go, Coaches!
September 28th, 2012 at 3:11 pm
If Washington can beat Stanford,
UH can beat the Cougers.
Grrrrrr........
September 28th, 2012 at 3:11 pm
That's what I thought. Mahalo, CRW.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:11 pm
398, our defense stunk in the nevada game too. arm tackles, missed tackles from the whole defense, not just DTs.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:11 pm
Here we go WARRIORS!
Onwards and upwards for the second half!
September 28th, 2012 at 3:11 pm
tweetah concurrence
September 28th, 2012 at 3:12 pm
We gotta change things up on offense. We are mainly ineffective.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:12 pm
Again, it is the qb beating us, as he just runs up the middle and gobbles up
gobs of yards. Good news is, UH is finally sacking him and pressuring him.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:12 pm
That was painful.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:13 pm
We seem to be playing with no confidence. Can't string first downs together on a drive.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:13 pm
TChahng, you bring up a good point. I still anticipate seeing Hawaii's run n shoot. Very odd.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:14 pm
Billy Ray Sutzman shined...
September 28th, 2012 at 3:15 pm
It doesn't seem that Hawaii is making any good progressions throughout each game....not saying much about Chow and his selected staff
September 28th, 2012 at 3:16 pm
Agree about last week.
Coming into this game BY-Who had a physical advantage that even a full 5-guy rotation at DT woulda found challenging. If no mo space-eaters to keep OG's and C from getting to the next level it's a long afternoon and Doman is a fool if he even calls for one pass in the 2nd half.
LB's no usually have tackling drills with 300# guys in their cage.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:18 pm
Halftime Adjustments.
Da last buggah nevah. Lessee wat dis one does...
September 28th, 2012 at 3:18 pm
So far it appears that we have no answer to BYU's Defense... and no answer to BYU's Defense. But special teams is doing okay! All is not lost! ..;-)
September 28th, 2012 at 3:19 pm
Stop the slaughter ladat!!
If we had a qb dat was a threat running the ball, maybe it wud help; poor guy, no can run and if he run's....a might too slow; and truthfully, I getting tired of he's throwing those over-head floaters....wat's going on man!?....dat 2nd string qb for BYU is killing us wit his running untouched by human hands.
Well, we got a very young team and dey earning their lumps and bumps and will be much better for it in the long run. Wishing those injured the best as well.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:19 pm
Team does not have the proper player types for the schemes coaches would like to run...we will see if recruiting can bring them in..so need to wait 3 years...but past history says those types of players are rare in coming to UH...ergo, we had RnS to counter...keep the faith!
GO Warriors!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 3:19 pm
Anyone know why channel 12 is not showing high school football?
I believe OC16 moved to that channel. Channel 24 schedule shows high school
football is supposed to be shown on channel 12 now. Wonder where the big hs game
tonight will be shown.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:19 pm
Oops.. I meant "Offense in the second part of the first sentence.."
September 28th, 2012 at 3:20 pm
Does anyone know why Iosefa is being held out? I missed the first part of the game.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:21 pm
Would like to see Graves at QB, given this running ability. May open up holes for receivers and other running backs.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:21 pm
Go Bows.
BIK
September 28th, 2012 at 3:21 pm
Deep breaths.
Remind myself.
This is a re-building season.
Deep breaths.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
BIK
September 28th, 2012 at 3:22 pm
from what i understand, pro-set offense needs a strong-armed, smart Qb and fast WR to stretch the field to open up the underneath stuff and running game— we don't have that. no one on our offense scares the D, no one. the D has to just cheat for the run (8 in box) and they will win. IMO
September 28th, 2012 at 3:22 pm

is the game back on or do i stay at work to watch game from comp??
September 28th, 2012 at 3:24 pm
Malepai and Lefotu are out for the rest of the game.
One has a knee injury, the other an elbow injury. No confirmation on whom is suffering from what.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:24 pm
Wonder if Chow will bring in the #2 QB? Schroeder is okay, however, is there that much of difference in talent between the #2. Give Graves a shot at this point coach!
September 28th, 2012 at 3:25 pm
Players. Need players.
If hot receivers can separate, QB no need run.
If no can, splat!
September 28th, 2012 at 3:25 pm
Even if we don't have the "proper" personnel to run the chosen offense, Coach has shown that he can work with the personnel he has to achieve goals. We need to mix it up more.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:26 pm
Total yards aren't even close:
BYU 341
UH 99
September 28th, 2012 at 3:26 pm

Geez, these injuries are crazy....
WarriorPride,
I think Shutter was practicing at #2.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:27 pm
Looks like the local beef in the trenches are not USDA Prime! Come on boys don't let them 300 lb LDS men push you around.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:27 pm
If our coaches don't have the personnel to run what they envision, then they need to revamp their visions till they get the kind of players they need and not try to fit a square plug into a round hole and vice-versa... Otherwise we can expect more of the same next season, as well. That won't bode well for ticket sales.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:29 pm
USC was overrated.
Unfortunately my thoughts that Hawaii showed promise during that game was also overrated.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:29 pm
428. cont... i don't see a day when we can recruit consistently the type of players we need to succeed with this type of pro-set/style offense. smart, strong-armed QB and blazing WRs. Those players go to the USC's of the college football world.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:31 pm
nakoa ur grandma calling.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:31 pm
Malepeai also out with knee injury.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:31 pm
Arm tackling.
If these guys nevah know how to tackle, they wudna been here. Geez...erryboddy watched all those HS highlight film in amazement! dats HSFB, this is CFB.
A DB is not gonna make a pile-drive stick if he is tryna avoid getting plowed or engaged by a TE or maybe even a OT.
Hawaii is hurting up front now...cheer 'em on. Hope they can hang in.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:33 pm
For the love of Christ
September 28th, 2012 at 3:33 pm

440. agree
September 28th, 2012 at 3:35 pm
The guy came from the right tackle's side. Heard right tackle and guard is out.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:35 pm
Horrible stat for Norm-- he has been shut out in all of the last three games he coached at BYU--including the blowout when he was at UCLA-- 59-0(?), but he won at Utah last year.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:36 pm
September 28th, 2012 at 3:37 pm
SAWARRIOR, my friend says next year's qb who is sitting out this year, is the real deal. Transfered from Ohio Stae.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:38 pm
Still not as bad so far as the Reno Nevada score...
September 28th, 2012 at 3:38 pm
C'mon, Warriors! Gotta fight back! Let's go!
September 28th, 2012 at 3:38 pm
no more Nationally televised games!!! getting spanked on national TV 2 weeks in a row!!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 3:39 pm
The trouble is, we need to recruit 8 big guys for each line position on both
defense and offense, except maybe center.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:39 pm
Lefotu and Shigematsu both hurt. This game is turning out to be an absolute disaster from an injury standpoint.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:39 pm
453, i heard the hype about him. i hope ur friend is right.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:39 pm
Did we ever get that guy from South Dakota, 6'5" who wanted to come here.
He was nice enough to come on this blog, too.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:40 pm
Way too many injuries.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:40 pm
SAWARRIOR #456:
You're gonna be disappointed again...because next week's game against SDSU is also gonna be nationally televised. This time on CBS Sports Network.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:40 pm
well, the good thing is we young and with all the injuries we will have an experienced team next season.

This is the 1st yr I convinced my wife to get season tickets. I don't think she will let me renew next yr unless they do better. I have to say this is Bad... Very Bad Football on both SIDS of the ball so far.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:42 pm
462. Cripes!!!!!!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 3:42 pm
8 yards and 9 yards on consecutive 1st downs.

September 28th, 2012 at 3:51 pm
491?????
September 28th, 2012 at 3:51 pm
we should have declined
September 28th, 2012 at 3:51 pm
CAN WE SEE IF GRAVES CAN EXECUTE SOMETHING! What do we got to loose? Put him in Coach!
September 28th, 2012 at 3:51 pm
428. No accident that when UH has been good, we've run gimmick offenses (Run and Shoot, read option) that allow for the difference in size/talent that UH can usually get.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:52 pm
On the radio, BC just said of the second punt... "A wobbly spiral". Just thought it was funny.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:53 pm
491. it's why we are called fans (fanatics), unlike some with no passion and no get upset when we get our azz's handed to us.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:54 pm
501. agree 100%
September 28th, 2012 at 3:54 pm
whats with Schroeder throwing his hands up ("i dont know what happened coach") everytime we dont execute?
September 28th, 2012 at 3:55 pm
503... Rajah. Hope to see better results in the second half.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:56 pm
Too long have uh fans made excuses for mediocrity or in this case being completely outplayed. Weve had a "young team" since 2008
September 28th, 2012 at 3:56 pm
Sit Schroeder's ass down
September 28th, 2012 at 3:57 pm
I feel like the offense is not working and has no fire. I wouldn't mind seeing Graves come in and wake everyone up, like he did last year.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:58 pm
Tavita Woodard sack man.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:58 pm
D is coming on this half.
Need O to get it in gear...
September 28th, 2012 at 3:58 pm
wags got Paul Johnson here with the triple option because of the talent level/type we have in the islands. short 6'-6'2" nimble, mobile, stubby lineman type of talent. the tall, big mauling guys mostly go to the bigger BCS schools.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:59 pm
All right, O. Let's go!
September 28th, 2012 at 3:59 pm
So far good adjustment on D. Second stop. Come on O... Let's Go!
September 28th, 2012 at 3:59 pm
Please put anybody else in at QB

September 28th, 2012 at 4:03 pm
chow is a old grumpy hard head guy. he ain't gonna play graves.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:04 pm
WW, I thought that last week about letting some other qb get reps. Maybe coach still thinks he can win this game. We're getting dominated on both sides of the ball.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:04 pm
dang looks like edwards hurt his wrist
September 28th, 2012 at 4:04 pm
Knowing we might have a rough season because of the coaching change is one thing but watching the team get decimated by injuries and straight up out played on all 3 phases of the game is shocking to say the least......just gotta keep da faith!
September 28th, 2012 at 4:05 pm
How come they neva call that one against USC?
September 28th, 2012 at 4:05 pm
Is this the same team that scored just 6 pts last week?
September 28th, 2012 at 4:05 pm
61 passing yards for UH. EMBARASSING! which is worse only 61 passing yards or Chow still has him in the game? gosh and I have never posted this much in a game. This is so bad.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:06 pm
Don't give up on your team, Hawaii fans.

@519 Double B (sorry) - Thats exactly right!!
September 28th, 2012 at 4:08 pm
I'm all for Schroeder and lst team.
But heck, what is wrong with giving Graves, and others a touch...

Schroeder has no "it" factor, he is not a gamer at all at QB. Indecisive, not mobile, stupid throws. He's gotten enough reps to prove he cannot move the offense down the field. I cannot stand watching this dude anymore. Our offense is so stagnant and our OLine is giving him more than enough time to get rid of the football. I think it's time to start someone else...Graves were you at buddy!
September 28th, 2012 at 4:09 pm
This is gonna hurt recruiting too I think. Getting Wooped on TV 2... Maybe 3 times can't be good.

Just is everybody on this blog against Graves coming in for a few plays?
September 28th, 2012 at 4:12 pm
Nice job again Schroeder, seriously Coach Chow lets get another guy in there please!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 4:12 pm

Let's hope our injured (2 OL, 3 DL) will be ready to play next week otherwise, it's going to be just as bad or even worse.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:12 pm
Wish i took the day off to watch the game. Want to see for myself what's going on. Last week Ault was one step ahead of our D. Seemed like he knew where to attack, how to attack and who to attack. It looked like he figured out early on what our defensive assignments were and play called accordingly. If you go back and watch the tape their blocking was excellent in terms of creating gaps and also blocking the right 2nd level defender assigned to cover an area or player.
I want to see how BYU is attacking our D. From what I've read here their QB is the designated play maker for this game. The OC must be seeing something they can exploit by using his QB's athleticism. The 1st thing he'll look in this half is what adjustment HI made to contain his QB. If it's an adjustment in scheme he'll attack the scheme if it's an adjustment in player assignment he'll attack that player if no adjustment is made then he'll continue to do what he's been doing.
The O is Norm's kuleana. No one has posted any clear picture of what's going on but if similar play calling is going on as in the Reno game we'll have trouble coming from behind. Norm's vision of the O seems to be it's just a part of the overall game plan. Yes it's there to score but also to control the clock and win field position and rest for the D. His is a more pro type view where tries to create a symbiotic relationship between the phase of the game to produce a win. In layman's terms - old shcool style of winning.

What "route" is that?
September 28th, 2012 at 4:13 pm
Is it politically incorrect to even mention Graves' name?
September 28th, 2012 at 4:13 pm
Uhhh no can sense the rush?
September 28th, 2012 at 4:14 pm
This was entertaining.
Fa'afetai.
Good luck on your season.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:14 pm
BYU used their back up qb tonight and he actually did better than the original starter.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:15 pm
Not much difference between Von Appen and Chow's offense and defensive strategy! Looks like this is going to be a long season.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:15 pm
UH does look sad. Why not put in another quarterback and one of 2 things can be accomplished and said. Good move and seems the new Q has given a different dimension to the offense or does not matter who the Q is, being results being the same.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:17 pm
true frosh marrell jackson playing now too. next up andrade?
looks like koloamatangi and marrell won't be redshirting this year.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:17 pm
quite possibly the worst 2 game stretch since the Von Oppen years. Just sayin.
Oh yeah, that's right. We are rebuilding this year.

Go team. Go Warriors.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:18 pm
Doesn't matter who's playing QB on the opposing team, the defense is so out of sync it ain't even funny. We got guys who can play... the schemes Coach K is using are being exploited like crazy. Frikkin sickening watching our boys get there asses handed to them!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 4:19 pm

September 28th, 2012 at 4:19 pm
Ipu Man... maybe coach don't want to create a QB controversy. But our offense has been largely ineffective. Maybe another QB will see something quicker than QB1. Maybe another QB's game time energy will revitalize teammates. Gotta try something.
I guess prospective recruits would have two views...
Either this is bad, or
I want to go there, because I know I can make a difference.
Let's go, Warriors!
September 28th, 2012 at 4:20 pm
BYU had only scored 9 points so far this season untill UHWarriors show up, and we gift them 34 in 3 quarters so far and we have a BIG FAT ZERO!
September 28th, 2012 at 4:20 pm
Now if USC, Nevada and BYU go to Bowl games and win,
we did ok
September 28th, 2012 at 4:20 pm
Schroeder is good only if he has lots of time in pocket. That's a great talent to possess... in flag football.
From the last two games, I have seen that he lacks;
- ability to escape
- a "live" arm
- accuracy under duress
- chemistry with his teammates
- accuracy downfield
Time for a change.
I really don't want to be negative, but I really am tired of strangers coming up to me in the bar the last two weeks and asking: "Is that really the best QB Hawai'i has?"
September 28th, 2012 at 4:20 pm
We just do not convert on 3rd downs. Kills the fight.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:21 pm
Can anybody say Regression?
I can handle losing. Especially if we are in rebuilding mode.
I have a hard time handling getting blown out in consecutive weeks.
BIK
September 28th, 2012 at 4:22 pm
563. yup, i've said that after the Nevada game, it's the schemes and not the players. no ways should our D get blown out. a loss, yes but a blow-out, NO.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:22 pm
I wonder if JD was right on who should have been Mack's replacement or if Mack should have been replaced? To bad the UH administration and BoR play to much politics and don't let the right people make the decisions. UH has been completely outplayed. SS passes just float! If he continues to throw like that he will get picked again!
September 28th, 2012 at 4:23 pm
See...lookadat! You wait long enuf widda ball and good tings happen!

September 28th, 2012 at 4:24 pm
WTF Schroeder how much time do you need to get rid of the frikkin ball dude. I swear this dude SUCKS yes I said it and I don't care, he hasn't proven shit to me as a D1 QB, no wonder he has at the bottom of the depth chart for DUKE... and he starts here??? What a frikkin joke!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 4:25 pm
defense looks extremely soft from the start. poor tackling seems to be carried over from the nevada game.
what i'm seeing is the problem is not shroeder. yes he is hanging on to the ball but in my opinion it's because receivers are not getting open. all in all, chow is dated and needs to be innovative...sad to say he is not.
i don't mind the team losing as long as long as they improve. but in my opinion this team cannot improve as long as chow does not improve by insisting on doing the same things over and over making it easier for opposing defenses.
chows first year looks like von appens last and i cannot help to feel it is because of the pro style offense.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:25 pm
dang, still 13 min left to play
September 28th, 2012 at 4:26 pm
Bobbled hand offs. Throwing a 2 yard comeback pattern on 3rd and 10. Just awful, awful football.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:26 pm
Don't know if it was helmet to helmet, but the ref said he led with the helmet. Another BYU player was called for "targeting" earlier for leading with his helmet.

As hard as it is to watch this, its tougher on the players. Chin up boys!
September 28th, 2012 at 4:28 pm
pro-style offense requires BCS type talent to succeed. IMO
September 28th, 2012 at 4:29 pm
How many yards of penalties does BYU have?
September 28th, 2012 at 4:29 pm
Well can't get rid of Chow since we just got rid of Mack and can't afford another buy out!
September 28th, 2012 at 4:30 pm
Chow for coach of the year and SS for hiesman trophy.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:30 pm
It is Schroeder to me cause if his receivers ain't open you got two other options. Either run forest run or throw the dayum ball away. He does neither of them, he just likes to get hit to show people he's tough??? He has ample time, the receivers aren't always open but he has a check down as well???
September 28th, 2012 at 4:30 pm

BYU just running over Hawaii. Faster, stronger. I thought the defense would be better than this.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:33 pm
Chow not the problem. I think the scheme is sound (except the wildcat). SAWARRIOR is right. Talent is lacking for the scheme.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:33 pm
Peyton avoiding testifying cause he is taking Kidney dialisis and is in the hospital now...
September 28th, 2012 at 4:33 pm
Chow needs time to get the players he needs that suits the offense. With what we have though, I mean you can't tell me Schroeder a frikkin Duke reject is the best QB we have. Graves got some game experience, can move, and sees the field quicker in my opinion. It won't be a QB controversy, but we need game time players not practice players. Schroeder may do all the right things in practice but when the light comes on, seems like his light bulb goes off!

I wonder if BYU can score more than Nevada? Nah Bronco Mendenhall is a better Coach than Ault and won't run up the score too much. He's probably thinking I'm not trying to run the score up but it's so easy to move the ball on these guys, I don't know what else to do? Maybe put in all my freshmen players, no can't cause our freshmen QB is killing there defense too, hmm...
September 28th, 2012 at 4:39 pm
Has a college football coach ever been fired after one year in d1?????I know it's happened In the NFL.The jets fired Pete Carroll in 94 .

If talent is lacking for the scheme, why can't coach see that and make adjustments? Didn't coach say that he would capitalize off of the strengths of his players?
Looks like he sticking with Schroeder 'till the end.

September 28th, 2012 at 4:42 pm
Put Graves in. Just see what he is able to do. Give him some reps.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:42 pm
sawarrior...
thats exactly it. pro style offenses need pro style players. hawaii has never gotten those types of players both in numbers and consistency and we never will because those types of players are going to go to big name school like a BYU, UCLA, USC.....hmmmmm now doesn't that tell you that something? It tells you chow had the players to fit what he wanted to do...and it worked. but now, chow needs to adjust.
last time we were shut out was with von appen and a west coast offense...let's hope we aren't shut out once again using a pro style west coast offense.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:42 pm
Don't we have the personnel to try the Run and Shoot? We have the receivers and two QBs on the bench. Chance 'em!
September 28th, 2012 at 4:42 pm
Looks like Chow gave up since he is running the ball to let the clock run! Looks like no fight in U H! Still using SS!
September 28th, 2012 at 4:43 pm
Hey at least there are a few bright spots to this game. A blocked extra point, Dunnachie booming some pretty nice punts, Edwards doing what he can locking down his man for the most part... and, uh, umm, uh, umm, uh, umm, that's about it!
September 28th, 2012 at 4:43 pm
I don't have a problem with Schroeder, I just don't believe in the cult of the QB that says they are too puny to sit out a round here or there.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:44 pm
At least Obama will cream Romney.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:45 pm

My friends new motto. "We Will Chase 1st Downs".
September 28th, 2012 at 4:47 pm
chow said something funny that i read. chow does not want to take out SS because he wants to show the team they not quitting no matter the score. But when chow runs the ball to run out the clock, it's a form of quitting, especially when u down by 47 points.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:47 pm
Hmm...looking at the rest of the schedule, maybe we get chance against South Alabama.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:48 pm
Coach Chow, and your staff and especially your players.
Thanks for fighting tonight. Just wish you would give some
meaningful touches to the other qbs.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:48 pm
If defense miss a tackle, they just stop and watch rather than persueing the runner. You never know, the runner may cut back, stop and juke, or even fumble.

Lets be real people....we have NO talent! While coaching is a part of the equation, you need size, speed and talent to run the new offensive and defensive schemes.

September 28th, 2012 at 4:53 pm
...meaningful touches...
September 28th, 2012 at 4:53 pm
i can't knock the players. but i can certainly knock the coaches.
running the ball with under 2 minutes...way to go chow, thanks for having pride in trying to score.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:53 pm
No points, no offense, no defense. Absolute drubbing. There's supposed to be a drop-off on offense, but this is falling off the map. Total domination by BYU. Hard to imagine Hawaii can pull itself to respectability in two to three years.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:53 pm
Finally a different qb and he only hands off.

I have to admit that our defense is terrible. Their angles are way off, they are terrible tackling team and guys like #40 looks like he quit. Terrible.
Schroeder is just keeping the position warm so to speak. Hebwon't be the Qb next year.
It will be just as ugly next week. Hats to agree with the naysayers but I cannot see a miracle turnaround with a week's practice.
One thing that is noteworthy, lots of firsts this year. Nevada firstvwin at Aloha stadium, UH first shutout since-----. Lots on ugly firsts.
I still will support coacch. Got to believe better days are ahead.

Still waiting for us to finally "click". Hope that breakout game will happen soon! But we really gotta fix our defense too. Had great hope with the first two games, and thought maybe being overly aggressive against Reno did us in. But this was a tough game... on top of all the injuries. And the offense is still not converting anything to move the chains.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:59 pm
Okay now lets see how many want to sugar coat the team by saying they played hard and make excuses for them??? Two weeks, two shut-outs, two ass whoopins on TV for everyone to see... Sucks but the truth hurts when you watch a team getting out coached and out played!

September 28th, 2012 at 5:08 pm
flat tire for the rest of year.....i don't think the team will recover. losing looks to be a habit now unless chow adapts.
chow...you gotta change and play to your players strengths.
shroeder is not bad....he looks bad because everyone else is trying something new and not too good at it. i'd cut shroeder some slack.
this team's troubles is much the same as von appens teams troubles...it's the schemes. and that means coaching.
September 28th, 2012 at 5:11 pm
i hope chow isn't too stubborn, hard-headed, stuck-in his old school ways, and favoring the QB he brought in, versus the ones that another coach recruited.
September 28th, 2012 at 5:15 pm
Looks like the Coach gave up - not the players!
September 28th, 2012 at 5:18 pm
Wish I had something positive to say about this game. So, I'll just say this...
September 28th, 2012 at 5:18 pm
#657 I agree. Funny but it seems that he was the head and shoulders better player. We really need more like him. I will give coach this year as his hall pass. It will be tough recruiting or he is using reverse strategy by letting recruits believe they will compete for playing time immediately.
September 28th, 2012 at 5:21 pm
The talent is here. You guys said as much by claiming an Aloha Bowl in our future. That ain't happening.
Short of grabbing his undies and looking for the name tag sewn in, I'm saying, as I did before the BYU debacle, that Norm Chow is the second coming of Fred Von Appen. He may have been an offensive guru in his early days, but this isn't the same coach. Now he is gray haired and impotent. Bring back Rolo.

RU guys Grave haters??????
September 28th, 2012 at 5:42 pm
I tried to tell you guys this 5 months ago and guess what I was right.
The first time we have been shutout since the Von Appen days. Another complete embarrassment on national tv with a coach that is completely clueless.
In four games he has taken a program that AVERAGED 8 wins a year over the last 13 years and has turned us into the laughingstock of Division 1 football.
He had e every skill starter back but one from a team that averaged 30 points a game last year, so it is definitely NOT the players, it is Chow and is outdated offense and pathetically outmatched defensive coordinator that are failing this once proud program.
I thought 4-8, but now I'm thinking 3-9 and it is time to start Graves or Shutter. I also told you that There was a reason that this guy didn't play at Duke but no wanted wanted to hear it.
ABSOLUTELY SAD!!!!!!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 5:42 pm
Well, I guess we all hate the grave...
September 28th, 2012 at 5:42 pm

It's just not worth it after tonight!
September 28th, 2012 at 5:45 pm
Everyones emotions are hot right now and we are all pissed about our beloved Warriors doing so poorly. But with a team so young and inexperience and I mean young as in Hawaii has so many 1st year starters starting its not going to get better anytime soon. With the injuries there are going to be more 1st time starters. Listen it's going to get more ugly before it get better, give the players and coaches time. I not happy with the Warriors performance either and the Defense is so bad that Kaumeyer needs to make adjustments to his defense now. I expect the Offense to struggle badly but not the defense!
September 28th, 2012 at 5:46 pm
manoa#1:
no worries... was just volleying back the compliment...
games like this make us all fiesty...
September 28th, 2012 at 5:48 pm
It doesn't matter if your trying to use more clock to rest your defense if you defense cant stop anyone and you can't score any points. This offense is so 15 years ago, we have regressed and Chow is stuck way back in the past. You can talk about being patient, blah, blah but, he looks lost on the sideline and out of his league. First time we have been shut out since Von Appen was around. At least we were competitive the last 2 years, won 16 games. Donovan panicked, fired Mac and the program has been set back 3-4 years. Another complete embrassment on national tv.
September 28th, 2012 at 5:53 pm
Jim Donovan did not panick and fire Mack. You need to get your facts straight.
September 28th, 2012 at 5:55 pm
GA Warrior, #679,
It came out in the hearings, that Donovan actually wanted to retain Mac for three more years, but he was overridden on that.
September 28th, 2012 at 5:59 pm
no matter how young the team is, we should not be blown out by Nevada by 45 pts, and BYU by 47 pts. no ways. Those making the we are young excuse, it's just that, an excuse — a bad excuse.
September 28th, 2012 at 5:59 pm
I said it once, I'll say it again. If June could come in his 1st year as Hawaii's head coach and take Vonn Appens 0-18 players, yet lead Hawaii to a 9-2 record, and make history by winning games period in his years here, why can't Chow and his staff? Not even Mack had a loss such as this. The way its looking, it looks like another repeat of losing with the system we have, just saying.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:00 pm
Either way some idiot over there made the wrong decision to make a change. Living in Georgia its hard to get a lot of details about the hearings. What else about Mac's firing have we missed?
September 28th, 2012 at 6:01 pm
Coach Chow and players will do better next week.
Watch.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:02 pm
I was in meetings all afternoon and got into the car, turned on the radio and heard that there just five seconds left with another blowout.
Frankly, this is not what I expected, but this is what we've got to deal with.
In the meantime, we've got basketball, volleyball, baseball, and softball to continue to support this academic year- even if you don't want to watch the football team anymore.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:02 pm
Call H.E.L.P.!
September 28th, 2012 at 6:02 pm
683. mac didn't lose like this because the foundation was already set.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:03 pm
Peace and goodnight to ALL tsaikos.
Happy Trails.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:04 pm
Well with all the mess that is going on over there in the UH hierarchy, that doesnt surprise me. Just didnt see the need to revamp and overhaul the program, Moniz getting hurt basically doomed the season, not the coaching. Going to be a long year.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:04 pm
At least Mack would have scored!
September 28th, 2012 at 6:05 pm
The SA's report on the "NCAA's inquiry of UH" points to an interesting level of diligence on the part of "the school". The article provides a repetition of past unproven allegations, as well as confirmation from various officials that there was no new information. The article nicely illustrates that notice of possible investigations, investigations, and updates (such as they are) on investigations appear to be negotiating tools of choice for some.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:08 pm
692. yeah, sounds like threats to me. lol
September 28th, 2012 at 6:16 pm
685,
Too much faith I see.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:19 pm
K, NEXT! Keep working at it, team. I still support them. Hope the coaches can figure out where we need to do more work. Wish I could go to the Na Koa lunch to hear the analysis.
Prayers for our guys who are hurt.
Discovered that mo808's hubby is my brother's classmate. Coach Sellito says, Hi! You missed him at Murphy's. He showed up later sitting with Russell Dung.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:23 pm
Are you composing just about all your own content material? If that's the case, you actually have got a fairly excellent authoring manner. Browsing your posts provided me happiness together with determination. I'm making the effort to learn from various sites in order to to improve my personal web site. Thanks much..... Misty Gattshall
September 28th, 2012 at 6:27 pm
695. i seen some reports and if i remember a video. it's not very detail oriented, i really got nothing form them. watch the post game interview, it's pretty much all you get out of them. much different than the pat regimes.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:29 pm
Against FBC teams..
Game 1.. loss by 39 points USC
Game 2.. loss by 45 points Nevada
Game 3.. loss by 47 points BYU
September 28th, 2012 at 6:29 pm
oops FBS... typo .. sorry.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:30 pm
I really miss all the write ups and indepth reporting when we had the RnS... for some reason, this season, I feel really disconnected from the team and everything about it.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:32 pm
On the fake punt, maybe they should have run outside instead of inside where there was no hole and the the player who handed off could have kept the ball and run it outside.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:34 pm
700. me too!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 6:37 pm
I'm flying out to San Diego for next week's game, and unfortunately I can already see the opening line for the SDSU game somewhere in the 20-point range...possibly more.
Also, it's one thing to lose but make progress along the way (a la 2005)...it's another thing to lose and slightly regress each game. Unfortunately, I've been much of the latter lately.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:37 pm
i stayed in tonight instead of watching at a sports bar, so it saved me $80-100 bucks!
September 28th, 2012 at 6:40 pm
SAWARRIOR,
Maybe saved you more from getting a DUI when you drown your miseries with one too many...
September 28th, 2012 at 6:42 pm
Committed Road Warrior:
Huh? Better get that checked with your doctor... hoping for a speedy recovery.
The team, too.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:43 pm
Yup, gotta have faith the team will get better. If you don't think so, jump off. The road is long, we can gain momentum at any time.
GO WARRIORS!! GO COACH!!! GO TEAM
September 28th, 2012 at 6:44 pm
sean,
That implies that it could get worse, too. I shudder at the thought.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:45 pm
we're last in the MWC.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:46 pm
Wyoming must be glad we're on board.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:54 pm
madeinhawaii, #710,
Unfortunately or fortunately, we don't play Wyoming this year. They beat Idaho 40-37 and lost to Texas only 37-17.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:02 pm
watching OC16 HD. audio and video not synched from Stanley. weird.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:03 pm
Any one know how Geordon Hanohano and Siasau Matagiese are? We need them going forward.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:05 pm
Wow.. we got blanked out today... phew... 47 points! With the only highlight for our team being the blocked point after attempt and a limping Mike Edwards. Scary!
At least it's 8 days to the next game. Got some time to heal up.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:07 pm
Chow better shake it up on offense, give Graves some plays to run in a package, spread option package. 5-6 or more plays a game won't hurt anything. Graves could also have counter passing plays out of that formation.
our D, too many missed tackles, out of position players. safety play is still bad. our linebackers for the second game in a row is non-exsistant. IMO
September 28th, 2012 at 7:08 pm
713. test on neck were negative.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:11 pm
Didn't June Jones have a 1-11 losing season at SMU during his 1st year there? Yet, the following year, he had a winning season and thereafter his team went on to a number of bowl games, too.
I still have David Miller's book, HAWAII WARRIOR FOOTBALL: A STORY OF FAITH, HOPE AND REDEMPTION. It's about June Jones, his assistants, and the players during his time at UH. A wonderful book that made me weep. You all should find this book at the public library and read it.
It reveals JJ's sense of humor and how he uplifted von Appen's players and made them competitors.
How he transformed a demoralized team to a winning team!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 7:13 pm
You guys keep bringing up David Graves.
Didn't Chow observe him during practice? If he was so good, why wasn't he named #2 QB? Obviously, Graves wasn't impressive.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:15 pm
717. yeah, but june jones took over a worse team (25 years of losing) talent wise than chow. imo
September 28th, 2012 at 7:21 pm
I am really concerned about team morale. They can't be happy right now.
It's critical how Chow speaks to them. Does he yell and criticize them like von Appen (read Miller's book) or does he use humor and encouragement like JJ?
Von Appen told his players they played like dinosaurs. JJ took those same dinosaurs and made them winners.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:26 pm
We all expected USC, Nevada and BYU to be possible losses, but this is getting hard to watch. Our players going down with injuries, our team not being able to respond with both our defense and offense . . .
We have capable players with lots of heart, that need to be playing to their strengths. Adjust our schemes to their strengths. Be patient, recruit for the future, adjust and recruit successfully to meet the needs of the program.
The decision not to retain some of Coach Mack's Assistants was respected, although questioned by many. Much could have been learned from their years of experience in Hawaii's unique environment, so we wouldn't be starting from scratch, but maybe with a running start?
Not too late, Coach, adjust and adapt. Otherwise, we become extinct.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:27 pm
718. why was BYU QB Taylor Hill the back up to starter Riley Nelson, didn't Bronco Mendenhall observe him during practices? T.Hill only passed for 112 yards 2tds and torched us for 143 yards rushing and 1 td. Hill has out performed Riley Nelson and will most likely be the starter now.
BYU RB J.Williams is the back-up to M. Alisa, all Williams did was run over us for 155yrds and 2tds all while averaging 10.3 yards per carry. Didn't the HC Bronco Mendenhall observe him in practice?!
HC's are not always right, sometimes they are stubborn.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:27 pm
Chow said that his offense utilizes a lot of RnS concepts in the passing portion.
JJ used to say that the NFL runs variations of the RnS (New England?)
IWWTHM's Question of the day: Can Chow utilize MORE of the RnS concepts like now so that we can utilize our players potential a little more?
Can't wait for the Na Koa luncheon.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:27 pm
The closest UH got to the end zone was to the BYU 28 in the 4th quarter.
The only other time they crossed midfield was in the 3rd quarter, to the BYU 47, out of 14 drives, if I read the box score correctly.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:36 pm
723. the QB is the key to running a pass heavy pro-style offense. the pro set/style offense has different variations and can be a run heavy offense like the pre-2000 versions, or pass heavy like Don Coryells', Air Coryell, 49er's Bill Walsh system or current Chicago's mike martzs systems. but the key is a smart, strong armed QB and WR that can run.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:36 pm
Coach Mendenhall said in the post-game interview that when Nelson becomes healthy, he will return as starting QB.
David Graves was not named #2 QB. Per ST, Graves was named receiver to replace injured J. Clapp.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:37 pm
I PREDICT THE UH ADMINSTRATION AND THE BOR WILL PAY A HANDSOME SUM OF MONEY TO A BUNCH OF LAWYERS TO INVESTIGATE WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE FOOTBALL TEAM. That ought to solve the problem.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:43 pm
#725,
I don't know if current QB has a strong arm. The passes seem to float which exposes our receivers . Unless this is by design? I can't see that being the case though.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:47 pm
Hi, Neat post. There is a problem together with your website in web explorer, might check this? IE still is the marketplace leader and a big component of other people will pass over your excellent writing due to this problem.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:48 pm
728, not a strong arm, but obviously smart graduating from Duke. IMO
September 28th, 2012 at 7:49 pm
726. i believe you got my point.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:53 pm
725. i should have added this to the last line...>>> and we don't have that IMO. lol
September 28th, 2012 at 7:56 pm
screw it, im gonna drown my sorrows in a bowl of thai-curry and rice.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:58 pm
728. it looks like u got the closest to the games final score. congrats.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:03 pm
#734,
Not really something to be happy about but I'll take the acknowledgement. Mahalo. Lol.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:03 pm
Okay folks... I'm done basking in misery... I've decided to look at the bright side. So, can somebody point me in the right direction? Mahalo!
September 28th, 2012 at 8:06 pm
look east 736, oregon is to ur north east somewheres.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:09 pm
this is why i have a #1 favorite college team (hawaii), and # 2 favorite college team USC. at least they are almost always up there with the top dogs.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:10 pm
I don't about you but I'm it for the long haul always have been. What worries me most about how the season has started is attendance. From what the team has shown so far the remaining games are going to be a hard sell.
Die hards like me won't concede to a losing record until we're tagged with our 7th loss. Till then we'll hold onto the belief that the team can turn things around. If not we'll optimistically look forward to next year.
I'm a life long football fan and the Warriors are my team. Being a proud alumnus of both Kalani High School and the University I've attended every game during my years of attendance. In high school I can count the numbers of wins on one hand. Back then it wasn't about winning but about supporting your friends and classmates.
Now it's supporting the people that choose to come here to play for MY school and the State. I will always be in the stands cheering our boys on as long as I physically able to. Winning is just a bonus.
Thank you Bows, thank Warriors for all the enjoyment I've received from you all these years.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:12 pm
739. Kalani? no wonders you know how to handle defeat, you're used to it. lol jus joking.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:15 pm
MIH mentioned it, but this is actually the worst three game stretch against FBS opponents since Hawaii joined the WAC (which is as far back as I bothered to look). We have been outscored by 131 pts in those three games. In 2004 we had three losses where we were outscored by 153 pts combined, but they were not consecutive.
Von Appen lost a lot of games, but his teams lost, on average by 18.4 pts per game. The last year each loss averaged 22.8 pts. That 18.4 average includes losses of 66-0 and 63-0. VA was only around for 36 games so those two losses alone account for 3.5 pts per game.
McMackin had a winning record overall but his teams were outscored by 82 pts over 54 games, or about 1.5 pts per game. That is not removing FCS competition so it isn't really a fair comparison, but it gives us an idea of how competitive his teams were in general.
I hope Chow can right the ship.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:16 pm
like herman edwards once said, "YOU PLAAAAY TO WIN THE GAME!"
September 28th, 2012 at 8:25 pm
Time to make some adjustments, Coach!!
September 28th, 2012 at 8:27 pm
i expect losses this year, a lot of them, but we have to be competitive, no excuse for getting blown out by 47, 45 points. Nevada and BYU are not Alabama, LSU, Oregon or USC.
we don't have the pieces YET for the pro-set to work consistently so Chow gets the benefit of the doubt, but there is no excuse for poor tackling and out of position players on defense. we have some talent on D to not get exposed so badly. IMO
September 28th, 2012 at 8:28 pm
Hey There. I found your blog the use of msn. This is a very neatly written article. I will make sure to bookmark it and return to learn more of your useful information. Thanks for the post. I will definitely comeback.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:33 pm
Bright spots were Mike Edwards and Dunnachie.
Didn't you like them?
September 28th, 2012 at 8:35 pm
I did until I heard that Edwards was limping... yikes! ... can't afford for him to get hurt!
September 28th, 2012 at 8:38 pm
I retired from arm chair quarterbacking years ago. But I say this about Graves.
In Chow's O he is the proverbial square peg. He doesn't fit the profile physically nor in Chow's eyes the skill set nor decision making needed. I remember in spring ball Chow would criticise him for running out of the pocket without going through all his reads and for throwing into coverage. He's in the same situation the QB tranfer from Ohio State was in. Just didn't fit their new O.
Graves would do fine in our old O or any type of option O whether it's spread, pistol or military academy like. He has a decent enough arm and he can use his legs to gain yards or extend plays. It's his misfortune that our current O calls more for a manager like player than a play maker. Credit him for not making waves.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:39 pm
i think we might be espn's bottom 10 next week
September 28th, 2012 at 8:39 pm
the whole team got beat up.
beat up by those older mormon boys.
guess who graduated from byu?
mitt romney
lol
September 28th, 2012 at 8:42 pm
well, I am sure glad you guys have calmed down.
I hated all the vitriol coming from the blog today.
we gotta support the team.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:42 pm
edwards, phillips, grimes, dunnachie, Yap had good games. 47 point drubbing kinda puts a damper on things. IMO
September 28th, 2012 at 8:49 pm
is the team staying on the road to play SDSU?
or are they returning to Hawaii for a short while and then leave again?
September 28th, 2012 at 8:49 pm
we dont or cant stretch the field vertically
our offense is an old offense that teams already know how to play against
our defense is banged up beat up but has a few good working parts
it's like or opponents are a nice shiny brand new car and we are a beat up rusted beach mobile.
like back in the day, the city had one set one buses and then they had the old beat up beach bus that would go to sandy beach side. that's sort of how this offense is--slow moving, shows up every once in a while, and everything around it has passed it by.
as much as chow is disappointing many of us...i gotta say this, i cant turn my back on players like edwards, phillips, grimes, stutz, and shroeder cause if they ever mentally check out, we are really done.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:50 pm
748. let me clarify, i would like to see Graves in for 5-6 or more spread option plays, a package specifically for him. kinda like what Boise used to do, bring in 4-5 players to run a few "packaged" plays and then out. Players seldom used, that perfect a few plays.
The way our offense is going it sure wouldn't hurt. Also, have Edwards at WR for a few plays a game. Edwards is the only player i see that can make a defense respect the passing game. IMO
September 28th, 2012 at 8:54 pm
Run n shoot is old, too.
Been there, done that.
That applies to all offenses after awhile.
Nothing wrong with the schemes. It's the execution that is disappointing.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:58 pm
You know what you guys should do --
between comments, get up and stretch, touch your toes, and swing your arms.
do calisthenics like you learned in PE in 8th grade.
Relieves stress.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:01 pm
u know what, i did almost that gigi, i got up to make microwaved rice. then i came back and sat on my okole
September 28th, 2012 at 9:06 pm
On the bright side our punter and punt returner are ballers.
Looking forward to some improvement next week.
Go Warriors!
September 28th, 2012 at 9:06 pm
hey, SA Warrior, aren't you in San Antonio?
what time is it there?
kind of late or early to be eating rice.
lol
September 28th, 2012 at 9:20 pm
2:52 am, i lost track of time. my head is spinning too much when we lose. lol
September 28th, 2012 at 9:22 pm
Remain calm.
Fandom goes through good times and bad.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:23 pm
Echoing what cocobean and others said. These young men are playing for the team, the school, the state. I will continue to support them. Have since childhood, always will.
Lots have made good points about mixing up strategies and trying packages. What these menneednow from the coaches is support and reasonable goals and guarding against negative self-talk (similar to what Riey Wallace did for the basketball team when it felt a little jinxed).
Also must say it was horrible just horrible to see those injuries. Reminded me of one of those really sad games from I think the Von Appen era when there were a bunch of bad injuries in one game. Do not ever want to see that again. What can be done? (still think Anae shoulda been benched)
September 28th, 2012 at 9:24 pm
everybody youtube Gangnam, that will make you feel better. it helps me.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:27 pm
well, i am gonna call it a night.
i have been up since 3 am saturday.
what a long day.
g'nite, all. you, too, SAWarrior!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 9:28 pm
i meant: i have been up since 3 am FRIDAY.
sheesh!
September 28th, 2012 at 9:43 pm
Sadly, as losses mount attendance at Aloha Stadium will also suffer. And with our track record of not attracting many 4 and 5 star athletes I don't see UH running the Pro Set like the BCS schools. And with dwindling seasonticket sales it won't matter for Coach Chow. The people in UH-Manoa Admin will make another change.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:54 pm
765. i must be the after thought. lol
September 28th, 2012 at 9:58 pm
Chow better shelve his idea of voting on a name change. lol
Rainbows or Warriors? how about winnas!
September 28th, 2012 at 10:06 pm
1/12 on 3rd down.
SMH
September 28th, 2012 at 10:10 pm
763. i agree with you, especially about the Riley Wallace saying, and believe it or not, i am really trying not to name players names and trying to b positive, but cuz, that is hard to do when we getting blown-out. lol
September 28th, 2012 at 10:20 pm
I mean, we only had ONE 3rd down conversion out of 12 attempts. Wow.
September 28th, 2012 at 10:29 pm
Howzit Everybody,
I think what needs to happen is everybody just gotta relax small kine. I know it's ruff seeing the team play like this but guess what, it was going to be a ruff season anyways. New coach, new system, new everything. Just gotta give um time.
September 28th, 2012 at 10:31 pm
I'm surprised we got that 1 out of 12. we were completely inept.
September 28th, 2012 at 10:33 pm
I still see us coming close to a .500 or even winning season. We just need to get better and keep kids healthy. Losing Moses Samia was a big hit to our run defense but the boys just gotta keep on working. Have faith, going be bumpy but in the end we will be in a better place.
September 28th, 2012 at 10:34 pm
773. almost no other D1 team in the country gets as much time as our coaches. lol
September 28th, 2012 at 10:35 pm
I think what needs to happen is getting our defensive schemes in place and working on tackling techniques until it becomes second nature. that will help more than any of us relaxing.
September 28th, 2012 at 10:37 pm
777. i agree with that — big time.
September 28th, 2012 at 10:45 pm
Hey just saying. Get to much people out there getting all nutz. My question is, did we expect miracles in Chow's first season? I hope not. Did we really expect to come out of these games with wins? Probably but not likely. All I'm saying is, yes armchair coaches there is a lot to work on but if done right we still have a chance to have a respectable season. That's all.
September 28th, 2012 at 10:49 pm
Well look at it from the bright side, We can only up from here could not possible get any worst. we are clearly at the bottom of the barrel. we need five
September 28th, 2012 at 10:49 pm
And no worry I know enough about scheming and football to know that there are slight problems with formation. I also know enough to know that tackling surely needs to be fixed but I also know enough not to get all crazy about it. I just let the coaches do there thing and I sit back and watch.
September 28th, 2012 at 10:49 pm
Watching the replay now. Men v boys. BYU physically superior. Guess there's a lot of validity to Larry Price's old saw about physical superiority.
The coaches, the players and the fans are getting the meaning of pain in the term growing pains. This game is painful to watch, painful to coach and most of all painful to play in. We're a young team that has a lot of room for growth.
Just hope the coaches can keep the team together and focus on the process of getting better. I remember JJ saying his 2nd season(3-9) was his best coaching job. He felt the team never quit worked hard in practice played hard in games. Said he was more proud of that year than his first.
September 28th, 2012 at 10:49 pm
go up from here
September 28th, 2012 at 10:51 pm
780 Warriorfan,
That's how. The only way to go is up. Still get plenty season to get better and like you said, can not go any lower.
September 28th, 2012 at 10:53 pm
Hiya!
Back from a long evening of errands and play rehearsal.
Listened to some of the ending parts of the game on the radio...
Gonna be a long winter.
Prayers and Healing Energy are in order for our Warriors.
And Karma is Karma.
UH- please do right by our kids.
September 28th, 2012 at 10:54 pm
Remember No Pain No Gain

And that's what it's all about. The process. That's what makes coaching so gratifying, the process. If the team can stay together and grow, the next couple of games will be a different story. You can already see that there is no quit in any of the boys. They get pounded and continue to get up. That is how you know they want it. Just gotta continue to work. All people see is the bad but I know well enough to look past that and look at the whole process. I guess that's what happens when a you are a coach too.

779. i didn't expect miracles, but i did expect a competitive team. getting blown out of games by 45 points and 47 point is inexcusable.
i predicted a 2-10 season, but the scores to be closer than what is happening. Nevada and BYU are not Oregon, USC, Alabama, Georgia etc... Nevada is a mid-major team, and also mid-major conference mate. BYU is just 1 year removed from the MWC. We should be able to compete with them. Coaching change, new schemes are all excuses that i can't stand.
Yes, i give a pass for losses because of a new coach/s, new scheme etc... but not for getting blown-out and looking like a D2 team in the process.

788 SAWARRIOR,
Guess what, I understand the fustration that you and everybody else is going through. Yes getting our arse whipped is hard to watch but guess what is some instances, it was expected. For me, I knew we would get beat bad by USC and I knew if we could not hold the line of scrimmage against Nevada, we would get killed to. BYU is BYU especially at home and I kind felt that we might have run into a buzz saw just because of BYU defense, which I think is one of the best in the nation this year. We still have two more halves to the season and still a lot of football to play. The enjoyment comes in seeing how the team response to this type of adversity, do they rise up or continue to fall. For me, I'm ok either way cause just as long as I see the team fighting, I am happy.

790 warriorfan,
I like the way you think. I wouldn't go that far but I still think we have chance for a respectable season. Just gotta see how everybody response to the two blow-outs in a row.

Eh Aunty Liz how you
September 28th, 2012 at 11:17 pm
Eh SAWARRIOR,
You saying we going lose to either UNLV and South Alabama or New Mexico and UNLV at home. Man you must be really mad brah. I say we atleast beat those three teams. I say we atleast end up with 4-5 wins 6 if lucky.
September 28th, 2012 at 11:22 pm
791, all of us know about USC, that goes without saying. if u cant hold the line of scrimmage against ANY team, you will most likely get killed, that goes without saying. BYU has a good defense, but their offense was inept before meeting our team. Their offense put up 40 points (not counting the fumble for TD) on the warriors. No, excuse for that.
everybody gets a gold sticker for participating! yay! lol
September 28th, 2012 at 11:24 pm
795. i predicted before the season started 2-10. not mad, just reality. the blow-outs upset me, not the loss. read my post again.
September 28th, 2012 at 11:28 pm
When was the last time our Warriors were shut out? I don't recall.

SAWARRIOR:
I agree. It's how we lose that bothers me the most, not that we lost. I feel for our players who are giving it their all and have to wonder if they are being given the best opportunities to compete effectively.
September 28th, 2012 at 11:38 pm
arkansas state 20-0, and SMU 28-0. back to back shut-out losses.
September 28th, 2012 at 11:40 pm
hmmm combined we'd have almost the same score as tonight... arghh.. g'night... I'll feel better in the morning.

Yeah karma ia karma. Peoples favoritism for departed individuals and citing that as karma is also karma.
Phoney philosophers dont get a free pass into heaven.
Typing "healing energy" is about as empty as the hollow words they speak.

I still have tons of faith in our coaching staff to turn it around i mean im not expecting much but im HOPING! Remember we have only 2 seniors starting the rest are majority sophomore or juniors with a few freshman like gregory and phillips, in a new system, with new coaches who is also new to head coaching. RE-BUILDING Time i like what i see in preperation for games and i think Coach Chow has said and done the right things SO FAR! But THERE IS NO EXCUSE despite them being young, despite them learning a new system, to be blown out on NATIONAL TELEVISION!! I mean once is understandable, twice is forgiveable but 3 times outta the first 4 games this season.

get well soon to all the injured, Hanohano, Matageise, Shigematsu, Lefotu, Edwards and whom ever else got hurt today.

Schroder needs to get rid of the ball faster but we do not have that explosive offensive weapons like Pilares, Salas, Bess, Mullen, Rivers, Lelie, Owens. Our recievers especially Stutsman may have wonderful hands but as the announcer said WE cant get any YAC because our recievers cant get seperation from the db's. To me this is what this team lacks its not talent WE HAVE TALENT and we have YOUTH but we dont have that one guy that STANDSOUT and commands attention on Offense. So far i'd say the only person who has played well EVERY GAME this season is Mike Edwards consistent every game despite a few mishaps he's had a highlight every game. Ne'quan phillips has played good, Will Gregory and Beau Yap has played well and ostrowski and davis has played ok but schroder has played from good to ok only complaints i have against him is 1. he holds onto the ball to long 2. doesnt seem to move the offense consistently love his toughness and his ability to stand in the pocket and deliver a pass even under pressure i just wish he had a quicker release. It makes me appreciate how Moniz, Brennan and Chang use to sling the ball so quickly.
