    UNI (0-1) vs. Bye

    Over/under???



    To entertain us for this week....I found a quote on Hawaii's message board...

    2014 Schedule of opponent's schedules - Week 14 Season pau - Sports Hawaii
    http://www.sportshawaii.com/sh/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=46050&sid=f5040386d367796713d5ff92594fcf5a


    - Northern Iowa gave it's in state big brother Iowa a scare, barely losing 23-31. The Panther's top WR had 5 catches for 205 yards including a 70 yard scamper. What hurt them was 16 penalties for 128 yards. They have a bye this week to prepare for us. Hope they get here early and enjoy the sun and surf to distract them a little so they can't fix those things.

    good to know they think DJ is a WR and not our RB

    In other news...Iowa opened as a 20 pt favorite vs. Ball State...I'll take that bet with ease. Oregon State is an 11 pt fave over Hawaii.

    yearly reminder that since this is not a tournament, it is not a "bye", just an idle week. (though that isn't technically true either, as the team will certainly not be idle. it is just a week without a game).

    DJ did line up as a receiver on some plays (or motion into it), though I can't remember off the top of my head how he was lined up on his big receptions.

      Better call the NFL and tell them its the "idle week" not "bye week" too...just for clarification purposes.

        That's why we didn't play well against Iowa, we were looking forward to Bye.

          If we lose this week, I'm done with this team. I don't care is Bye is undefeated, we should beat them!

            Really sucks to have a week off already. It's like "alright, the seasons here, let's roll!", and now we have to sit for two weeks and wait for the next one. I hate off weeks.
            Give us a yell, HO! The purple and the gold
            Victory for U-N-I!

            Find out what the other team wants to do, then take it away from them.

              Disagree...this is a good bye week. Hawaii is gonna bring the physicality. That 245 RB is gonna be TOUGH. Northern Colorado might be the worst team on our schedule.

                I'm so there with you. I know this is a good off week for the team. But Saturday night I thought -- so much for the start of football season. Now we have to wait two weeks again!

                  How about 'open date'?

                    in a perfect world, we might have played NoCo at home this weekend, then had the open date following Hawaii, especially with the HI game being so frickin late at night (and Iowa being before noon).

                    Would have been a transition from 11 am to 4 pm to 11 pm, and then having the open date after the second FBS game.

                    But the world ain't perfect.

                      We were supposed to have Morgan State this weekend at home, but with their coaching change they asked that the game be moved to 2016. The off week was supposed to be 9/27 instead of having Tennessee Tech that day.

                        Having homecoming the week after Hawaii was frankly horrible scheduling. Our flight, if on time, gets in at 1:45 Sat. afternoon. We would have to leave the airport and drive directly to CF after being up all night in order to make the kickoff. 95% chance we miss our first homecoming in 25 years or so. This old boy can't drive with no sleep in 32 hours anymore.

                          Why is Homecoming so early this year? It's like they swapped Homecoming and Family Weekend. Anyone know why?

                          However I am glad they're bringing back the parade!

                            Yeah, having it this early is pretty dumb IMO.

                            Three games that are always guaranteed to have huge crowds or sellouts are the home opener, family weekend, and Homecoming. Why combine two of those? Seems like a waste.

                              Again, this wasn't supposed to be the home opener.

                              It made a ton of sense before Morgan State backed out. You took a game that would have been a $15 ticket and made it a $25 ticket. Great for revenue.
