I’ll be on vacation until June 23. The next Further Review column and Quick Reads blog items will appear on June 24 or 25. Feel free to have your own discussions here … comments go directly to the blog now. Just keep it clean, which you’ve always done anyway.

The All-Poly Football Camp was going to be at Kaimuki High School, but has been moved to McKinley. The dates are the same; it starts with a combine on June 23, and the camp itself is from June 24 through June 26. This is the second year a camp will be held in Hawaii as well as Utah.

Howzit Dave,
This whole WAC thing has gotten everyone freaked out but I have an alternative to the situation. Hawaii and a few west coast teams should start a new conference that specializes in international athletes, international venues and worldwide exposure. So invariably, travel would be the lure for everyone. Imagine getting the best of the best athletes from Samoa, Australia, Eurpope, China, Korea, etc.. Imagine having games played abroad in places like Sydney, Auckland, Pago Pago, Bejing, Frankfurt, etc.. I know this is a far fetched idea but I like to view our distance and geography as an asset not a liability.

Aloha mac fan.
I like that idea. Makes Hawaii the center of the action rather than an appendage too far to the west of everyone else. It would work in a perfect world of fans unconditioned to thinking Hawaii has to play and beat the USCs, Floridas, etc. of the world to be worth anything.

It’s funny that the “Pacific-10″ Conference excludes the only school totally surrounded by the Pacific, and is instead trying to recruit schools not even close to the Pacific (i.e. Colorado, Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and even Utah). Obviously, academics isn’t a prerequisite for entry into the PAC10, (as has been their previous mantra), as evident by Colorado’s loss of scholarships due to poor academic performance. As if we’d believe any other motivating factor aside from $$$$$.

Sorry, have a great vacation, Dave! You may not recognize the college landscape when you return.

NCAA Football: It’s all about the benjamins baby. $$$$$$$$$$$$
In order for capitalism to work, someone will always have to suffer. UH football just might be the odd man out.

BigIslandKurt,
Keep the faith, baby! This is the pay-off year for Coach Mack & the team. If they beat Boise, Fresno & Nevada, all bets are off! It starts off with USC & I believe this is the year they’ll get the gorilla off their back.

I actually won’t be back from vacation until Monday, June 28; I’m planning to write a return column for Tuesday, and will likely post a blog item Monday, if not sooner. See you then!
