Who peed in your Wheaties? C'mon man, let's just enjoy some unadulterated excitement, at least for this week.

And Bennett did not get nearly the amount of exposure that Jones is getting. Stop kidding yourself. And did we get several people in the biz claiming how great a hire Bennett was like they are with Jones? Nope.


I just really, really, REALLY, want this to turn out well. Need to balance out the yin/yang and prevent jinxing, imbalance in the force, maintain proper chi flow, or whatever. We can't ASSUME that JJ will fix things or we're screwed. We can only HOPE.

Bennent got a big write up in DMN when he came, but unfortunately the main theme was the tragic death of his wife what it was like to raise two children by yourself.

There is no comparrison to what is going on with JJ right now.

Whatever helps you sleep at night dude. I just feel our program is now heading in the right direction. Will it be easy, or is it guaranteed? No. But don't worry about tempering everyone else's enthusiasm on day 2 or 3 after his hiring!

Nope - they also didn't walk away from a top-10 team, and they aren't half the coach June Jones is.


Neither did JJ...Hawaii finished 17/19th...Sorry couldn't resist.
Whatever - at the end of the regular season, Hawaii was 10th in both polls. That's pretty damn good.
Plagiarize!
Let no one else's work evade your eyes.
Remember why the good lord made your eyes.
So don't shade your eyes, just
Plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize!
