showed all those areas in which we got to show some improvement they showed some real flashes of skill out there but we got to concentrate on execution and we are going back to the blackboard and we are going to concentrate on the basics like how to hike the ball and hand it off all those things are important we have been able to identify those areas where we need some work and our guys sure showed they need a lot of work, and some coaching too I would add, and we are looking forward to next week at Pol Caly, cause we sure can't profit by looking back, and I was glad to see the fans exiting the stands midway through the third quarter and not witnessing the real slaughter, heading for the local luau, and goodnight now I want outta here.<BR/><BR/>Thanks coach, and that's it from

ago in Honolulu by a final of 68-10. The Warriors have won five in a row over Idaho, with the Vandals lone win coming in a 14-6 decision back in 1960.<BR/><BR/>Hawaii didn't figure on being challenged in its meeting with Charleston Southern last weekend, which went a long way in the decision to hold star quarterback Colt Brennan out of the contest with an ailing ankle. Taking care of business for the Warriors was Tyler Graunke who hit 22-of-36 passes for 285 yards and three scores, but he was intercepted twice. Getting to see some action late in the contest was Funaki Inoke who also tossed a couple of scoring passes and finished 6-of-9 for 78 yards. Listed as probable for this weekend, Brennan will probably be used only as long as the outcome is still in doubt, which means he should be seated by the time the squads come out for the third quarter. <BR/><BR/>The Heisman hopeful has the passing offense running on all cylinders yet again this season, averaging 461.8 ypg to rank first in the WAC and second in the nation behind only Texas Tech.

The session was broadcast live on state-run radio.<BR/><BR/>The resolution, which urges Ahmadinejad's government to treat the two as terrorist organizations, would become law if ratified by the country's hardline constitutional watchdog but probably would have little effect as the two nations have no diplomatic relations.<BR/></I>desert rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369546288659566961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-15468018685508934242007-09-29T18:47:00.000-04:002007-09-29T18:47:00.000-04:00Send him to Somalia, do some scoutingMOGADISHU, So...Send him to Somalia, do some scouting<BR/><BR/><I>MOGADISHU, Somalia (Associated Press) -- Somali and Ethiopian troops have ordered thousands to vacate their homes in Somalia's capital to allow the forces to search for arms and insurgents, a local human rights group said Saturday.<BR/><BR/>The order was issued Thursday after an insurgent attack earlier in the week against a government base, said Sudan Ali Ahmed, chairman of the independent group Elman Human Rights.<BR/><BR/>Government officials declined to comment on the reported evictions from Mogadishu. Ahmed said most of those evicted had either left the city or sought refuge with relatives or friends elsewhere in Mogadishu.<BR/><BR/>"I cannot give you precise numbers of displaced people, but I believe they are in the thousands, and they were forced by Ethiopian and Somali troops to vacate their homes," Ahmed told The Associated Press, basing the figures on interviews conducted with residents.<BR/><BR/>The evictions this week were the first reported since April, when hundreds died in heavy fighting in Mogadishu, Ahmed said.<BR/><BR/>Somalia has been ravaged by violence and anarchy since warlords overthrew dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991, then turned on each other. The current government, formed in 2004, has struggled to assert control.<BR/><BR/>A radical Islamic group ruled the capital and much of southern Somalia for six months last year, but was kicked out by Ethiopian troops who support the government. Since then, insurgents and government-allied troops have battled nearly every day, and thousands of civilians have been killed this year alone in Mogadishu.<BR/><BR/>Asha Ali Jimuale, a mother of seven from northern Mogadishu, told the AP that soldiers had ordered her to leave her home, and warned that insurgents could use those who stayed behind as human shields.<BR/><BR/>Ahmed said that when insurgents attack government positions, "the Ethiopians and government troops launch security operations, and the Islamists go to residential areas to use civilians as a shield."<BR/><BR/></I>desert rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369546288659566961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-88162086599558470562007-09-29T18:45:00.000-04:002007-09-29T18:45:00.000-04:00ISTANBUL, Turkey (Associated Press) -- Kurdish re...<I>ISTANBUL, Turkey (Associated Press) -- Kurdish rebels ambushed a minibus carrying pro-government village guards and civilians in southeastern Turkey and killed 12 people on Saturday, a local official said.<BR/><BR/>The rebels armed with machine guns attacked the minibus in Sirnak province near the border with Iraq, killing seven village guards and five civilians, governor Selahattin Apari said. Two civilians were injured and were rushed to nearby hospitals in military helicopters, Apari's office said in a statement.<BR/><BR/>It said troops were combing the rugged area in search of the rebels.<BR/><BR/>Turkish troops killed 20 rebels in operations over the past 15 days in Sirnak province, authorities said Friday. No soldiers were killed, they said.<BR/><BR/>The ambush came a day after Turkey and Iraq signed an agreement to cooperate in cracking down on separatist Kurdish rebels who have been attacking Turkey from bases in Iraq.<BR/><BR/>Despite Ankara's insistence, Iraq refused to allow Turkey to send its troops across the border to chase the Kurdish rebels.<BR/><BR/>Turkey has pondered a cross-border military operation to root out the members of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, holed up in the mountainous areas of northern Iraq. However, the United States _a close ally of Ankara_ objected to such a move, fearing it could destabilize the relatively calm part of Iraq.<BR/><BR/>Kurdish lawmakers in Iraq also oppose any military move by Turkey across the border.<BR/><BR/>The PKK is labeled a terrorist organization by the U.S. and the European Union. The group has been fighting for autonomy since 1984 and tens of thousands have been killed in the conflict.<BR/><BR/></I>desert rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369546288659566961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-26211980181622520432007-09-29T18:39:00.000-04:002007-09-29T18:39:00.000-04:00Christ--they might as well hire me as coach...Christ--they might as well hire me as coach...Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-28593085630445873132007-09-29T18:37:00.000-04:002007-09-29T18:37:00.000-04:00The Vandals are threatening threatening threatenin...The Vandals are threatening threatening threatening going back to pass- thrown- intercepted! on the 10 yard line- run back for a Hawaii 90 yard touchdown! 38-7 -after game luau looking better minute by minute....Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-51554130434956205102007-09-29T18:26:00.000-04:002007-09-29T18:26:00.000-04:00The Vandal defense has toughened up, and kept Hawa...The Vandal defense has toughened up, and kept Hawaii to a field goal this time around--31 to 7....half time coming up....Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.com
