More conflict,
craziness at UH

"You knew the job was dangerous when you took it."

-- Super Chicken

LET'S go straight to questions:

Is it just always something with this guy?

Apparently.

Has this kind of periodic public controversy/conflict/craziness become a "normal" part of UH football, something that's going to be an ongoing thing, every so often, every year?

It would seem so.

How many people is it now that June Jones has had public feuds with?

The correct answer would be "choke people."

Does Kahuku steer players toward UH?

Probably not.

Does Kahuku steer players away from UH?

Probably not.

Is this a two-way street?

Most things are.

With so many schools coming in to recruit Kahuku so intensely, wooing, making intentions known, flying in for personal on-campus and in-home visits, might UH's recruiting style -- in Kahuku's eyes, at least -- suffer in comparison?

It sounds like that would be a reasonable deduction.

So where does the burden fall?

Well, it's called "recruiting."

Does Jones make some good points about UH being behind in the arms race for facilities?

Yes.

Does that mean the program is on the brink of collapse?

Please. Step away from the crack pipe.

Would it be a great thing if UH had all those facilities?

Yes.

Would it help?

Probably.

Is this a surprise that UH is not on the cutting edge in this area?

No.

Are there lots of other schools with fantastic facilities?

Yes.

And many of them are in BCS conferences?

Yes.

But not all of them?

No. Apparently San Jose State has some really mean stuff, too.

Have you ever thought about how bad the Spartans would have been if they hadn't had all that cool video equipment?

It boggles the mind.

But many non-BCS schools are in the same boat as Hawaii -- and might even feel envious of the Stan Sheriff Center or the new Rainbow track?

Yes.

Does Jones have great points about all the bowing down to the Pro Bowl, while UH is paying the rent?

Yes.

Does UH still need to do a better job with revenue streams, budget, building the program -- vonAppen 30-point plan stuff?

Yes. But that also includes bringing back the fans with good feelings, spending existing money the best way.

So, should we be surprised when another controversy or the next feud pops up?

Probably not.

Didn't you think we would at least make it to spring practice?

That part surprised me.

Is all this conflict and public craziness a good way to be doing business?

Well, apparently there are two schools of thought on this.

If you were Herman Frazier, wouldn't you have a massive headache right now?

I don't know about him. But I do.
