Wow. College Football Talk Blasted Hawaii in a recent post. Here it is, unedited:

 

 

Last season Hawaii went undefeated before it got throttled by Georgia, 41-10 in the Sugar Bowl.

 

This season Hawaii's throttling at the hands of an SEC foe will come early. The Warriors will be lucky to lose by only 31 in their August 30 opener at Florida.

 

Everyone knows that coach June Jones, quarterback Colt Brennan and most of last year's offense are gone, but I don't know if casual fans realize just how desperate the situation at Hawaii is right now.

 

Quarterback Tyler Graunke, who spent three seasons as Colt Brennan's heir apparent, has had academic issues, and new coach Greg McMackin said this week, "We've just moved on. If somebody's not here, we just move on."

 

That means Hawaii has no idea who its quarterback is, with Inoke Funaki, Greg Alexander and Brent Rausch all in the mix. McMackin told the Honolulu Star Bulletin he expects to pick a starter two weeks into camp.

 

Whoever that starter is, he's going to have an awfully rough go of it against Florida, and for much of the early portion of the season. Hawaii was a great story when it won 12 games last year, but the Warriors are a long shot to win even six in 2008.

Everybody blasts Hawaii because they are uninformed. They don't realize the defense returned almost everybody of significance and that the offense, while losing the Fab Four (receivers) and Colt, returned some great running backs, the best of the o-line and if the quarterback position can get resolved ... we should be OK.

 

Nobody knew what to expect from Colt when he first got here. He rose to greatness, but he didn't even start at first -- Tyler did. People seem to forget that.

 

Nick Rolovich was benched once in favor of Timmy Chang. Rolo came back and kicked butt.

 

And Timmy Chang was good enough to win games.

 

To be honest, I don't think the quarterback position has ever been this deep. Yes, young, but deep.

Until mel came to Cleveland and our fans here got a chance to hear a little more about hawaii and its program, we didin't appreciate them much either ...

 

apparently somebody's doing something right over there -- look at all the warriors contributing now in the nfl ... makes you pull for them actually

We need to play well against Florida ... if we get blown out by another SEC team, the abuse will never stop

Hawaii never has and never will get respect. People are haters. Jealous haters.
