My take on the autograph fiasco

Ok, this is a blog right? So I can blog my thoughts on things right? Ok, Tombo, don't get mad at me, but this is what I wrote up and shared on Tsai's Warrior Beat, but I wanted to post it here too.

How many times this year have the "headless" honchos up in their offices failed us. Yet we as fans continue to support because its Hawaii's team. Our team.


do they not understand up there at the athletic department? this is the BIGGEST year ever in our history. Stop hiding behind the statement "this is our first time, give us some slack" how many years have you been doing your job? what "big time" schools have you come from before? this isn't your first job at an athletic department. wouldn't you make EVERY effort to pre-plan to the most extreme BEST case scenario? and this one amazingly might not be the headless HF honcho's fault. you can place this one on our public affair's guy, the associate "headless" man himself, Mr. JM. watching him on the news yesterday sickened me(see previous blog below). How can he say all was a success and that yesterday was for the fans and not realize how screwed up the situation was.

Maybe he should personally apologize to each and every kid who walked away empty handed. Apologize to every parent who has to somehow explain to their young one why they couldn't see their favorite players. Apologize to every other fan who just wanted to get close to their idols and now have nothing to have or give away for Christmas.

What in your right mind would make you think that there wouldn't be a good turnout yesterday? How many people showed up at the Aloha Stadium autograph session earlier in the year? How many HOURS (notice, PLURAL ) were there lines?

hopefully some of those "headless" honchos take their failures to New Orleans and never come back. i know they're dying for this season to be over, so people can get off their backs, but that won't happen.

let's see what else is left....

- JJ's contract
- Murakami stadium turf
- Cooke field's non existent turf
- and finding their HEAD

and that was my rant of the year. i'm still upset though.
