Schedules / Colt on KHNL

In Ferd Lewis' article regarding Colorado being on future schedules, there's also an update on this year's schedule.

Meanwhile, Oregon State and Washington State, two Pac-10 schools UH had approached about filling the vacant Oct. 20, 2007 slot, said they are no longer considering the offer.

"UH contacted us, but we just can't do it," said Steve Fenk, OSU sports information director. "I think given different circumstances — like the end of the season or maybe earlier in the year — we'd really be interested."

The Beavers closed their 2006 season Dec. 2 game at Aloha Stadium.

Fenk said, "Oct. 20 is our only midseason (open date) and we already have one of the toughest road schedules in the nation."

WSU spokesman Rod Commons said the Cougars, "do not want to (give up) our bye weekend in the middle of the season. Our staff feels strongly we need that midseason break."

Sigh. Nine more days until the "drop-dead" date.

And here's a report by KHNL's Reid Shimizu, which has both text and video. He talks to Colt Brennan, who says he never meant for all this heat to be brought down upon Herman Frazier, and also notes the improvements that have taken place since he spoke out. Rep. Mark Takai is also interviewed.
