  • UH in next week's NCAA football polls?

    With five Top 25 teams losing (but two games were between two Top 25-ers), looks like Hawaii could be in the polls during the regular season for the first time since Wags' days. Let's set the Over-Under for their ranking at 24, and have 1,000,000,000,000 HawaiiThreads dollars at stake.

    That equates to about you owing some money!

    If UH can dominate tonights game... I think we deserve to be in the top 20.

    Had Boise St. not came back and won that game... and UH wins tonight... (this scenario would have put us at the top of the WAC)

    So I think we would have moved into the 17th Rank...

    With Boise St. Coming back and winning... against a crappy team... I think it hurts UH's chance...

    So I think we will be ranked 23rd.... If we win tonight dominantly....

    And that's my final answer Mr. Lowery.

      Louis. Tech / UH
      First downs 21 / 27
      Rushed-yards 41-135 / 12-112
      Passing yards 225 / 506
      Sacked-yards lost 5-49 / 0-0
      Return yards 19 / 110
      Passes 17-38-2 / 30-44-1
      Punts 5-42 / 0-0
      Fumbles-lost 2-0 / 3-1
      Penalties-yards 6-65 / 7-57
      Time of possession 38:22 / 21:38

      FINAL SCORE: 17 LT - 61 UH

      Someone has to look at this realistically now.... they had the ball almost twice as long as us yet we scored 3 times the amount of points.....

      Simply amazing!

      If Rutgers wasn't having such an amazing season... I would say Coach Jones would have to be up there for Coach of the Year!

      Just looked at the stats... anyone know why Nate Ilaoa didn't play?

        Arkansas is having a pretty good season too...as well as Wisconsin, whose new headcoach is the first Big 10 coach to win 10 games in his rookie season.

        Nate's out with a tweaked ankle.

          The no punts by UH stat is pretty amazing in itself as well. And the 506 yards passing? Another amazing stat.

            I think we'll roll over San Jose and Purdue as well. That's about the time we'll break in. That is unless a few of the teams 21-25 lose next week.

                808 Shooter is talking about the AP Top 25. You aren't. No correction is necessary.

                    Still find it sad that we have a team this good and the attendance sucks.....PPV definitely plays a part in this IMHO.

                      This problem has it's roots in the fact that Aloha Stadium insisted on charging the University of Hawaii a rental fee for stadium usage. It really was a drain on the UH Athletic Dept budget and I believe June Jones thought the money was better used elsewhere (like his salary). Instead the funds went to the general fund.

                      I suspect that's why PPV rates went from $75 the first two years (you got the same rate in year 2 if you bought in year 1) to the exorbitant rates being charged today. UH keeps all of the PPV revenue. Or maybe it was the Sports Agent Leigh Steinbergs company that put this idea into Herman Frazier's head.

                      In any case, there is nothing that can beat the game live. We've got the #1 college offense in the nation and that is something I will always be able to look back on. And after all, have we forgotten the Von Appen years so quickly?

                          This is quite disheartening if it is true. I thought the Aloha Stadium Authority was making this big sacrifice giving up the rent money they had been collecting from UH all these years ... cash they could have used to repair/replace the stadium.

                          And you are saying that the money UH Athletics saves is now just being sucked back into the general fund? Someone tell Herman Frazier to stand up for the program! He’s the one who lobbied for the rent break in the first place. Use the savings to balance the budget, for chrissake!!!

                            If UH is to continue using the Stadium.... I hope they will invest some money into a new Trinitron Screen(s)

                            The resolution was terrible... and for that matter...they should have them on both sides of the stadiums so that people sitting underneath the Large TV's would at least be able to watch the Replays also.

                              It's not the NCAA poll, but...

                              Warriors ranked No. 25 in three football polls
                              The University of Hawai'i's school-record eighth consecutive victory vaulted the Warriors to the No. 25 spot in three college football polls today. UH is ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 poll, the USA Today Top 25 coaches' poll, and the Harris Interactive College Football Poll. It is the first appearance by UH in a poll since November 2002, when UH was ranked No. 25 in a ESPN/USA Today poll.
