Pre-game notes and pick the score: UH-Army
By dreardon
Getting ready to head out to the stadium. There will be a lot of pregame celebration, including memorial for 9/11 and honoring of first responders.
Also, I’m told Army will wear 25th Infantry Division patches, in honor of the “Tropic Lightning” based at Schofield Barracks.
***
Between people from Hawaii including at least two large tour groups and fans who have gathered from throughout the Eastern United States, I’m estimating more than 1,000 UH supporters today.

Haven’t been out the door yet, but skies are clear.

Toward the end of the Friday walkthrough, three skydivers jumped from a helicopter and landed on the field (a safe distance from any players). The players applauded.
Former New York Giants cornerback Jason Sehorn attended, and spoke with Bryant Moniz and Greg Salas afterward. Sehorn is the analyst for tomorrow’s TV broadcast.
“The Hawaii offense is so fast and Army hasn’t played anything like it,” Sehorn said. “For Army to win they have to be able to stop it, but I don’t know if they can.”

Since tomorrow’s game starts so early, I’ll start taking score predictions now. If somebody gets it exactly right, I’ll take you to lunch. I don’t know where yet, but I’ll give you a couple of choices. First person to submit the score only wins. No one hit it last week.

Sunday morning we are going to read in the paper that the Army coaching staff was tipped off by the parachuters about something Hawaii was going to do during the game. Thus taking the media off the hook for this week. =)
Go Warriors!!!
Also, I think its a good thing that the team does the Haka so well this year. It represents so much in regards to unity and committment, etc. It just shows how close these guys are, and that will pay off on the field.

re: the haka,
I’ve always preferred that they do the haka for the fans that remain AFTER the game, rather than before. When they’ve performed it before, they’ve lost games more often than they’ve won. In at least 2 examples it incensed the opponents and motivated them much more than UH. At times when done prior to the game it seems to sap too much emotional energy and they can’t seem to maintain that level throughout the game.

29. I’m not a huge haka fan, especially if it’s not done in unison. This team seems like it’s put a lot of effort into doing it right … and all of them doing it. It should be everyone doing it right, or don’t do it at all. Also agree it’s better after the game than before it.

I would’ve liked for them to have dedicated it to the First Responders and Military, (and have the announcers announce it as such), and done it after the Army alma mater was done… just as a way to recognize and honor those and their contributions/sacrifices.
Instead of it being us against them, it could’ve been more like “we are united in this battle”.
