Florida is the favorite already no question.  It was good to get a football fix but scary to see how good Florida is already.   It looks to me that the defense will be improved but my thoughts are how they will do against Georgia and LSU, I am really looking forward to the game against the top SEC opponents.

Florida has and will be vunerable to the pass from the coverage that they play.  The Warriors do not play well on the Mainland and they have always struggled at altitude (Utah and Colorado) and traveling a long way.   These are the factors that make them seem like two different teams in the same season.  Last year so many things came together.  

They still have big money and facility problems that are just beginning to be addressed.  It is not difficult for Florida to out recruit Hawai'i.

The last two seasoners that Florida played their home opener it took them until the 2nd half to get rolling on offense.  I don't see that problem the way the offense rolled today.

Florida's speed on both sides of the ball is what is impressive.   The explosiveness is in another class from what I've seen at UH so far.

The Warriors will need all the defense and offensive weapons that they can suit up.  Thank goodness that this is a nonconference game so UH can get everyone it wants and needs to the Swamp!

Kanaka, Graunke was supposed to be the starter now he has fallen to 3 or 4, there is a sea of change going on in "the Island in the Middle of the Sea."  

It appears to be an upbeat offense more of a pro set style than the run and shoot.   Hawai'i has a chance small probability to keep it within 20 points of the spread against Florida, but they need to borrow some of the Florida speed to make it a possibility.  

I am starting to think that Rousch has a shot with his progression.   On the other side of the country Urban Meyer is worried about Tim Teebow staying in the pocket and developing as a quarterback.  He only has one Heisman and a rocket arm to go with all the weapons around him.    Poor kid. 

So when Hawai'i wins and goes undefeated they will get to the NC game.  Right!  That will be like one in eleven thousand chance.  How anyone gets a > 1% chance out of that is beyond me?   On the bright side there is better than a one in five chance that the Warriors will put up 3 or more points.  That is the hot tip from Vegas, go make some money with that tip brah.

Graunke is back to Co-number one according to the Advertiser.  He still has some stiff competition ahead.

We'll see.

Yankee, I hate to admit it, but it looks like you are right.

 Florida has a Big O to go with their defense and special teams in 2008.   It seems unfortunate that the two best teams in the country Georgia and Florida will have to play each other in a regular conference game and they are both in the same division.

Yankee relax, you do not have to worry about the offense or the defense for Florida this coming year. 

 You will be in a Bowl after New Year's.

I'm just interested in seeing how the Bows will handle the heat in Florida.  I know it's hot here, but Florida's a different kind of heat.  It'll be interesting to see if anybody gets severe cramps or anything.

Moufpuncha, it will be hotter than anything they have ever been in. 

Turn the oven on high and go get your mother's / wife's hair dryer and plug it in next to the oven set on high-heat.  Open the oven and stick your head inside, turn on the hairdryer and blow it in your face........................

all this while you have headphones playing Metallica at volume 10 (Max).   Now if you survived this for 4 minutes get ready to be hit by a 280 pounder that runs like a deer on your blind side while your head is still inside the oven.   

Hawai'i will not be able to simulate it unless they are practicing in a giant sauna and hire some NFL linebackers to hit them.

Yes there will be severe cramps.   Hawai'i will have to platoon players.

Yoko that is serious heat, there was a player who did in spring ball at UCF a little over a week ago and it is not even summer yet.

Some players are saying that Grorge O'Leary worked them too hard when the new kid died.

yes an oven sounds like it will be hard on both teams, it is Florida's oven for sure.   Take some mighty high quality H2O and IVs.
