Message to current Wyoming players and coaches about Hawaii.

The old school guys that remember the Hawaii series will tell you one thing: it's easy to lose there. It doesn't matter how good your team is or how bad theirs is. It's a long, shitty flight to get there. The island is beautiful and very distracting. There are tempting things to do everywhere you look.

If you don't bring your mental "A" game to Hawaii, you will lose there. You have to have extreme focus from the moment you step off the plane until you leave the field.

I hope we've got enough old school guys in the program to spread this message amongst the players and coaches. Don't fuck around in Hawaii or you will lose, no matter how bad they are.

This is just a public service announcement from a guy that remembers the majority of the Hawaii series and several very good Wyoming teams losing to crappy Hawaii teams in Honolulu.

Thank you for your time.
 
I think the secret is to fly into Hawaii just before the game (on a luxury charter where each seat is a sleep pod, as in first class intercontinental flights), land, go to the game, win. Then relax the following day on the beach. Take the same type of flight home late that night.

So does Warblow! What did you do to make him hate Wyoming so much?

Beats me. He hardly ever posted on Sports Hawaii. Only thing I could think of would be me posting......

WYOMING 66, Hawaii 0

More times than I can count since I joined that board in 2004.

But that's just a guess.
 
Hawaii, like Wyoming....has improved tremendously on defense. This will come down to Woolsey vs. Kirkegaard...and considering Woolsey consistently overthrows WRs by 10-15 yards, Colby gets the edge. I'd be shocked if Bohl loses to a Norm Chow football team.

J-Rod, doesn't Norm Chow have a great reputation as an offensive coordinator?
Isn't Hawaii his first Head Coaching job?

What if after he (presumably) gets fired as head coach at Hawaii, he came to Wyo as an OC (assuming Vigen is not living up to what we want) ?

If Norm does get fired (& probably will), he'll probably just retire.

You can begin to cry. Everything he touches becomes significantly worse. When he wakes up in the morning to pour himself a bowl of Cheerios, the moment he touches the box it morphs into the store brand.

Much like Arroyo. How that twerp keep getting jobs is beyond me!
 
Just hoping road test, in a never ending flight to grass skirts and surf doesn't turn into Poke road kill. This is a big game for us. Our D is going to have to play at a high level, and we have to win the turnover battle. I'm not getting good vibes on this game....Vigen has to call a good game.
 
This will be my first trip to Hawaii. We better not lose! My wife is worried that if the Pokes lose I will not enjoy the rest of the vacation... she is probably right.

I don't know about that. Hawaii is a beautiful place. Very relaxing. Also, Pearl Harbor is a must see when going there.

it is a wonderful place to visit, Pearl was absolutely humbling, Honolulu's great, but I wish we woulda done more islands while over there, It's been over 14 years since I was there, and long to get back, was hoping this year but didn't work out, some day again!!
