Hawaii is terrible

they really are.
but that was expected. The fact Vandy isn’t killing them says a lot about them too.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

I've only watched 2 game today (Nebraska and Vandy) and both have had terrible camera work. Reminds me of vol baseball!

Camera work has been bad today. It was terrible in the Nebraska game no doubt. I can’t get Hawaii game but sounds like the same thing, several folks have said camera work has been bad in Hawaii game as well.

I haven't watched any of the Andy game and don't plan to. I did enjoy watching the Thompson, Ala-David Lipscomb hs game though. Most analysts were predicting Thompson would win by 2 or 3 TD's but Lipscomb went down to Ala and came away a 24-14 winner. Edwin Spillman was all over the field making plays and Caleb Beasley had a 99 yd fumble return TD. Dilfer's bunch was down 14-3 at half but made some very good adjustments defensively. That man can coach. Sure hope we land Spillman and Beasley.

Amazing. History repeats itself.

Hawaii should build their stadium and facility on the edge of a cliff overlooking the peninsula. Like Northwestern's facilities but on steroids, in paradise.

Just make yourself attractive enough to draw the guys that aren't quite P5 level.

Vandy bullying the good people of Hawaii

Vanderbilt ELITE! Watch out this year Bama

Announcer says:
The football gods are shining on Vandy tonight.

Well this is the one of the frw game all year where that is possible!

 

[BigSteve09]

Vanderbilt ELITE! Watch out this year Bama

They actually said that to Bama one time. Remember that?

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Hate to tell them but this is the most fun Vandy players will have all season.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Amazing. History repeats itself.

That’s incredible!

Vandy-Hawaii attendance: 9,000

 

[Weezer]

Vandy must be thinking, "So this is how Tennessee feels when they play us".

 

[RiseToTheTop]

This game and Elon. Enjoy it, Vandy. I do enjoy the false hope this is prob building for them and their fans.

Hawaii couldn’t tackle St. Louis High School across the street in Honolulu.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Charlotte lost by 30 to Florida Atlantic today. Will Healy has been unimpressive since taking over. Not so much the rising star he used to be viewed as in the coaching profession.

 

[volbeast33]

LMAO

It's Sunday. Now only 4 days til kickoff!

I don't particularly. Maybe for a time but with the rise of Baylor, TCU, OK State and even Houston the talent in Texas has had options to stay close to home. There are also lots of SECW schools that are just as close or closer than Nebraska. They are one of the all-time programs that are a casualty of parity and conference realignment. I don’t see how they ever fully recover.

We are lucky to be in the SEC, have a great college town in a medium sized city and have a lot of good recruits within a reasonable driving distance. We also had a lot of exposure with high level NFL players even when our program was garbage.

YUP! And despite our s%#* storm of the past 10-15 years still fill a 100k stadium & have a huge Pantone 151 brand!

Yes, #0…..and he’s a captain. Captain Orgy.

Megan Mullen moves to the edge of her seat and stares hungrily.

We really overstate how badly Milton actually played bc of the missed deep balls. Other than the run out of bounds at Ole Miss and the deep ball yips, he managed the offense fine. I would rather have Hooker back there, knowing what we know now, but literally everyone thet watched camp said Milton was the clear cut best option, and he didn’t play that badly when the lights came on (again other than his deep ball issues)

Milton's biggest problem was that our WRs hadn't yet clicked with the system. He got the blame for overthrows but a lot of that was the WRs not being where they were supposed to be. Even Hooker had a ton of overthrows. I honestly thought that we were in serious trouble at WR because absolutely no one had stepped up. That changed during (and mostly after) the Florida game. Our WRs stepped up.

Hooker is a very good QB but he also benefited from coming in when the WRs finally started to get it but before the WRs settled in, it simply did not matter who was playing QB. Milton having a case of the stupids during the OM game turned a lot of fans against him but honestly I understand why that caught him completely by surprise. It was poor luck for everyone.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I love Dobbs

Dobbs should be starting on an NFL team. There are probably 2-3 teams he would be an upgrade for.

Man, if I had a choice between MTSU or similar school and Hawaii. . . I'd have a tough time not choosing Hawaii.

People forget the almost perfect throw he made to nearly win the game. I think it was Tillman. . . he must've been gassed, only needed to jump a couple inches higher and we win that game.
