Re: *spits, cusses, ca-HACK* WWJD?
Can UH match SMU's offer?
Or will they try to appeal the former Portlander's love for the island and his college alma mater?
This may make or break Herman Frazier's career with UH.Beijing 8-08-08 to 8-24-08

espn's boards are buzzing over this, but the one comment that made me literally lmao was
June is God in Hawaii, he will be nothing more than a Jehovah's Witness in Texas.
**no offense to the JW faithful.

Re: *spits, cusses, ca-HACK* WWJD?
you are on to it.
If there was anything that the fb squad (inc coaches) has been vocal about, is their appeal to upgrade facilities and recruiting budget. If I worked in that office, I would be spending this holiday running a spreadsheet and passing that sucka around all those hgea listservs, so that it finds its way into the legislature, and the newspapers, and prove to the state what kind of economic (and morale!) benefit our uh fb program provides.
If there was a website to donate directly for these two causes, I would paypal over $100 at this minute.

Re: *spits, cusses, ca-HACK* WWJD?
Consider the SMU offer the shot across the bow that UH needs.
JJ will say 'no' on this one, as he should, but who will come calling next? And there will be a 'next' for those who chose to keep their heads in the sand.
$50,000 a year recruiting budget?? Please....... that is a long weekend for Notre Dame or USC. Boosters, step up.
WAC to Conference USA is a push. WAC to BCS conference school? That will get the gears turning in June's head for sure.You Look Like I Need A Drink

Re: *spits, cusses, ca-HACK* WWJD?
UH to SMU is either a push or a step down. SMU has something of a storied history but hasn't been much for quite some time. I think UH gets the edge because when you coach there, you get to live in Hawaii.
But Jones has taken steps down before. Don't forget he was the active head coach of the San Diego Chargers before he came here. But leaving San Diego to come to Hawaii and leaving Hawaii to go to SMU are two completely different stories. I'm with nachodaddy on this one. This offer is nothing to be concerned about; it's the next few that should be interesting.But I'm disturbed! I'm depressed! I'm inadequate! I GOT IT ALL! (George Costanza)

Wasn't SMU the college at the top of the world of college football in the late 80's that got caught in a really bad recruiting scandal including the paying of players?
The Southern Methodist University football program, the most punished in NCAA history, received the harshest sanctions ever – including suspension for the 1987 season – when the NCAA announced its precedent-setting decision Wednesday...
In addition to a ban on games, practice and scholarships for the 1987-88 academic year, the National Collegiate Athletic Association restricted SMU to seven games in 1988 – none of which may be considered a "home" game – and limited its scholarships, coaching positions and television and post-season appearances through the length of the probation, which expires Sept. 1, 1990...
The Committee on Infractions report uncovered "stipulated" violations that 13 football players were paid approximately $47,000 during the 1985-86 academic year and that eight student-athletes continued to receive payments from September to December 1986 of about $14,000.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
