advertiser basketball poll

February 19th, 2010

in case you missed it, the paper had a poll this week asking folks to vote on how they see the rest of the basketball season. About 8 percent think the team " will pull it out" ( one wonders what rock these folks have been hiding under); 30 percent said the " season is over"; just over 40 percent said " new leadership is needed"; and 22 percent said " when's football start" ( like that's a viable option).  There is no question that the frustration level is about as high as i can remember, and crowds of 3000 per game is further evidence of that.

Did you see the latest headlines on the UH Athletic Department deficit. Over 10 million. Perhaps the only good news is that there is some possible job security for a few UH coaches.

The count down to tomorrow's game continues. UH has lost 7 in a row, and Cal Poly has lost 6 of its last 7. Both teams are 9-16 and mired down at the bottom of their conferences. But for UH, its a real chance to break the streak and give the Bows their 10th win. Hawaii hasn't won in a month so tomorrow looms large for the team and their supporters. One thing you have to say about the team. Although badly out manned game after game, at least some of the guys continue to play hard and have not given up on trying to steal a few more wins. They deserve your support for the last three home games. There are several seniors on the team who have endured some tough times. It would nice to show them we care.

    Gotta take my hat off to Jim Donovan. He's taken over during truly challenging times for our state university. No news there. Budget deficit, yikes!. The fall semester start great with wahine volleyball and a trip to the semi-finals. Disappointing seasons for this past football season, now its men's and women's basketball. We all know this is not helping the ticket sales.

    I'm looking at UH's baseball season with a heightened sense of optimism. Hopefully Trapaso's 2010 schedule will be a strong one so all will be not lost.
