    This fan site is unaffiliated in any way with the University of Hawaii or the Warriors football team, other than the fact that I attended UH-Manoa for five years and bought lots of tickets to UH events and spent lots of money on concessions. In other words, I'm a lifelong fan and supporter of UH sports, woot woot!

Mack, WAC News

Stephen Tsai has a great interview with coach Greg McMackin at the WAC media preview. Here's an excerpt:
On implementing his version of the four-wide offense:

"(Quarterback coach Nick "Rolo" Rolovich) is doing an unbelievable job with the quarterbacks. I know we're going to have an unbelievably great (starting) quarterback. I know we're going to be one of the top throwing teams in the country. I'm not worried at all. We've run this offense before. June did a great job running this offense. But this offense is special. We're really getting back to the basics. Ron (Lee) knows the basics. I know the basics. Rolo knows the basics. Brian Smith (the line coach) is as good as there is in knowing how to block the front. Alex Gerke (the backfield coach) helps us not only with the running backs but with the offensive line. I really believe in the people we have."
Dave Reardon has a preview of today's WAC meetings.

Reardon has a good rundown of the state of the WAC, both the good and the bad.

In his WAC preview notes, Stephen Tsai writes about Adam Leonard and Solomon Elimimian's golf outing, and the resignation of UH compliance officer Bill Bryant.

A good quote from Dave Reardon's WAC notes:
Robb Akey's Idaho team went 1-11 in his first season as head coach last year, prompting the best line from the three coaches who addressed the media.
"My wife got all the sharp objects out of our house," he said. "That was miserable."
By the way, congratulations to Dave Reardon, who has been promoted to Star-Bulletin columnist. Hope he'll still be writing lots of articles and stuff for his blog, which by the way, has a new entry full of Greg McMackin's comments at WAC Media Day.

There's more WAC preview coverage from:

The Reno Gazette-Journal

The Idaho Statesman

Idaho Statesman again

Lahontan Valley News

Nevada Appeal

Deseret News

The Fresno Bee

And ESPN's new non-BCS blog.

    On this link are a bunch of articles that are interesting on the WAC including one on using hypnotism on the players. Interesting reading after reading all of Tombo's great finds on Hawaii football.

    Sorry about that Tombo, I tried to use your link earlier and could not connect after waiting many minutes several times--so I went around reading like always and found what I thought was interesting and went ahead and posted not knowing until now that that was your other post.
