	Hey, warriors, I was just curious as to what you guys think about the season opener with the Gator, I mean no disrespect but, with what happen with the Bulldogs in the bowl game. Do you see you guys having a good chance to win this one. Either way win or lose, how do you think it will affect your season?

	At least we wont have the "we are undefeated and getting snubbed by the BCS" talk all year. Florida should take care of that in 30 minutes.

	With so many changes in the UH team this year, it won't be a very good measuring stick to see where the program is. A new head coach, QB, and WRs could make for a tough season for any school, but to open against a great Florida team just doesn't seem beneficial to UH. The Warriors will gain some national exposure and hopefully put forth a good effort, but their team should be measured against their WAC competition this season, not against teams in the Top 5.

	On paper we probably have a less than 3% chance at winning the game, but I think it should help us for the rest of the season. After playing in a hostile environment like the swamp, road trips to Oregon State, Boise, and Fresno will seem tame in comparison. Hopefully it should get our players ready for those road games later on in the season.

	I am a Warrior faithful since the 70's. Even through the 0-12 Von Appen years. Of course I would love for UH to win, but there's a slim to none chance of that happening. That said, I hope the Warriors at least learned from the Sugar Bowl and are able to put up a decent showing, and not lose too badly. But I'd still be proud of the boys!

	SMOTS, 3% is a bit of a stretch, especially since the Gators haven't forgotten the careless words of June Jones just 3 short months ago..... I expect a 70-12 blowout.....and probably some fights between plays..... but, UH's program will certainly recover...... Florida is probably as good now as the USC teams UH played a few years back...... so they have certainly experienced that sour taste of destruction..... I agree that this game - despite how ridiculous the score may be - will help them in their future road games..... So... how significant is this game ??... I think it will mark the low point of UH's next few seasons.... but it is better to get this game out of the way now....and not half-way through the season.... there will be some high points down the road in conference play.... as there always is..... think of this game as UH playing the Globetrotters in basketball.... set your expectations very low.... and just marvel at the talent of the opponent....

	I expect a better showing from Hawaii in Florida than what we saw in New Orleans. As to the game's significance (to the rest of the season): How badly will the O-Line get schooled? Will receivers hold on to the ball in the face of getting the stuffing kicked out of them after every catch? Can the O-Backs get enough run(block) support to have a at least a half-way effective play-action and draw or will the Warriors get stuck in the proverbial mud of the Swamp? If all these questions have negative answers; I would not be surprised by a 66-0 thumping; which will lead to good things assuming players/coaches learn from it. BUT, if the Warriors manage to show some fight and some measure of speed (relatively speaking) then Florida might have to explain how they let those low-life guys from Hawaii score more than Georgia allowed (I could see a Florida winning margin as slight as 38-17). This scenario could actually backfire should the Warriors develop some headstrong attitude from such a result. Side note...I KNOW there'll be a Georgia-Florida comparison urped up by one side or the other (meaning Geo
