aye bro..im from Hawaii and heres some insight on them..i kno everyones shocked at how close they kept it with USC last week but the truth is Hawaii plays to the level of their opponent, when they are AT home..for instance theses are some teams i remember Hawaii beating off the top of my head while growing up here: Alabama, Arizona St, Oregon St, Michigan St, Northwestern.
And i think they almost beat Purdue a couple years back, and last year they almost took out Cinci...but like i said all AT home if they were to go on the road and play these teams they would get destroyed, example Georgia in the Sugar Bowl and opening game at Florida last season..dey jus seem to play at dere best with the crowd behind them against a big school on the island..
I admit i was suprised they way Hawaii moved the ball against USC's secondary, they made it look easy..but heres another thing you have to factor in when putting your money on Hawaii, dey have the most retarded coach i have ever seen in my lifetime wen it comes to play calling..it was 1st and goal at the 4 and they passed the ball on 1st 2nd and 3rd down, the whole time im screamin for them to run a draw, cuz they have the best running back in Alex Green that ive seen in years but they do not know how to utilize his talent..another play it was 3rd and 24 and they ran the ball!! are you kidding me..plus their D was playin two hand touch out there with USC, the worst tackling ive seen in a while.
But after all that said i did win some cash on them cuz i had them at +21.5..you can have all the talent in the world but wen you have a retard of a coach then you wont win often, id lay off of this game to see how Hawaii plays, i highly doubt their motivated for this game..Army is gonnah run the ball right down their throats n keep the Hawaii offense off the field, but wen on the field Hawaii should score easily, gonnah come dwn to the 4th qtr, and i just have no faith in McMackin, he always seems to mess shit up
Like everyone says, "the only good thing about McMackin coaching, is Bic Mac Mondays at McDonalds" lol
GL on your play tho, ill still be rootin for Hawaii but if i had to put my $ dwn id take Army -2
Hey! Cuz im from Hawaii also. And I got a few comments to correct you.
Yah Hawaii beat those teams in Hawaii but Hawaii had great offenses. They also beat Purdue I was at the game. You also failed to mention they beat Boise St also. Now you talk about the first game of the season Florida. Have you watched the game. Hawaii played a great hf against the NCAA Champions without June Jones or Colt. Second hf Florida adjusted and their defense ran the O off the field. But give credit to MCmaccin for a great try. Next you talk about Georgia. Bro! Georgia had the best freakin DE in the league. They couldnt even get the freakin snap off. That was a total mismatch. It had nothin to do with MCmaccin. I say June Jones made the exact same bonehead calls and even worst. I say this and give it time Mcmaccin has done a great job with alot of home grown players. More than I have seen in a long while. Its not like our basketball team with Riley. That team was team Europe. Second you talk about the goal line play. Their strength is with their quick receivers. So of course they are gonna spread the defense and throw the ball. This is not the last time you will see this. Third you talk about 3rd and 24. The best play for an all passing team is run a draw up the middle. If it works great but if it dont then you punt the ball away. Why risk throwing a pick six or int. Dude you need to learn the game son and dont bash the coach until he is proven a lemon.
