Spring is Near

In yesterday's Warrior Beat blog post by Stephen Tsai, an item vanished, but others took its place. Here's one:

Cornerback Keenan Jones has been suspended for spring ball for missing mandatory team assignments.
UH coach June Jones declined to discuss details, but said the cornerback will remain on scholarship and compete in training camp in August.

That sucks, especially with last year's paperwork fiasco. Hope he'll train hard in the offseason and come into the fall ready to compete. Speaking of spring practice, Tsai also posted a schedule, which can also be found here:

The practice dates are April 2, 4, 5, 9, 11-12, 16-19, 21, 23, 25, 26 and 28.

And finally, Ferd Lewis is still burning.

Well before Forrest Gump gave us the "box of chocolates" analogy of life, Stan Sheriff offered the "apple pie" theory on athletic directors.

Sheriff was athletic director at Northern Iowa and the University of Hawai'i, two schools that posthumously named facilities for him, and came to believe that an AD's employment is measured like an apple pie.

With each crisis, Sheriff used to say, a slice (the bigger the crisis, the bigger the piece) was subtracted until, eventually, there was an empty pie tin and, hence, an exit.

Clearly, the Herman Frazier model pie is a lot like his current football schedule, showing some glaring pukas.

And it goes on. Let's hope it doesn't have to go on for much longer.
