: The 2006 Spartan team earned and deserved
: everything they accomplished. Nobody gave
: them those 9 wins. Every team they beat
: competed hard. The 2006 team just competed
: harder and wanted it more. Certainly the
: schedule, with 7 home games, helped, but why
: should having seven home games be looked
: upon any differently than BCS schools like
: Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska, etc, that
: often have 7, sometimes even 8 home games
: year in and year out. How many home game
: does Hawaii get every year? Minimim eight
: home games a year.
: Just because this year's team is struggling
: out of the gate does not mean last year's
: team wasn't a pretty damn good group of
: players. If anything, I have more respect
: for what last year's team accomplished,
: after having seen how difficult it is to
: play at a high level.
:
: With all due respect, to insinuate that last
: year's team "got lucky" is just
: plain wrong. As the late, great John Huston
: used to say, "They EARNED it."
