Solomon Likely Out

Stephen Tsai writes that Solomon Elimimian will most likely sit out the UNLV game due to his sprained knee. But looks like he'll get some valuable experience in the booth.

Although not ready to file sick-leave papers, Elimimian tentatively accepted a job as a spotter for Glanville. In that role, Elimimian would watch the game from the coaches' booth on the loge leve

We're gonna miss his leadership on the field, but this might help him and the UH defense in the long run. He'll be able to see the opposing offenses from a different perspective in real-time, which might help him spot things when he's back, calling plays on the field.

The article goes on to say that Adam Leonard will now be calling the plays for the UNLV game while Brad Kalilimoku will take over Adam's normal ILB position. Both are experienced and good linebackers, so that's good to hear.

Blaze Soares has a sprained ankle. Leonard Peters still vows to play despite his rib injury.

Dave Reardon has an article about Dane Uperesa's dad, who is a coach for UNLV.

Ferd Lewis has not one, but two articles lamenting the low ticket sales for UH's season opener. Sounds like there will be less than 30,000! We had 43K for Appalachian State in 2003 and 35K for Florida Atlantic in 2004. I believe both were Division I-AA at the time. That's strange. Pay-per-view sales are down as well. Maybe people are just buying more big-screen plasma TVs and going over to everybody's house. 50 viewers per house! I don't know.
