It seems their athletic director is under a lot of fire because of his schedule making problems last year. And seems to be full of crap
This is from 11-06:
Athletic director Herman Frazier has the four unannounced opponents on next year's schedule arranged, Jones said.
"About two and a half weeks ago and he assured me that he's about got things pretty much lined up," said Jones, who added that all the opponents will be Division I-A teams.
He declined to name the schools.
"I'll let him break it to you," Jones said. "I think that a couple of them might be on the road."
Just to save a lot of reading, Frazier didnt finish this years schedule until 5 months ago. A lot of people are calling for his head and rightfully so. Michigan State did back out but they told them 2 years ago they were gonna back out.
I know Louisville tried to get a game with them this year and he said "If we play them, might as well play Georgia too." Hawaii probably could have beat Louisville, who started the season with a high ranking, and given themselves some credibility.
And sure teams are going to turn you down when you contact them 5 months before the season starts and your asking them to give up their bye week.
Frazier said he could have booked a 2007 schedule late last year that would have included Texas A&M and either North Carolina State or Texas Tech, all on the road. Louisville on the road was also an option.
But he wanted to hold out for more home games.
I feel bad for the players who obviously deserve better than this guy who brain farted this season away from them.
BTW the 2008 Hawaii schedule is complete; They open at Florida, and also have Washington State, Oregon St, and Cincinatti.
