Vandal-ized

From the Honolulu Advertiser newspaper
MOSCOW, Idaho —

In the hangar-shaped Kibbie Dome, the Hawai'i football was disassembled.

The Warriors not only lost to rejuvenated Idaho — 35-23, in part because of DeMaundray Woolridge's four touchdown rushes — but they also lost wideout Rodney Bradley to a season-ending broken leg.

And, after suffering their fourth consecutive defeat, they appear to have lost their way.

"It's embarrassing to our program," said Blaze Soares, a senior linebacker. "Losing to these guys, it sucks. I never lost to them throughout my career. To lose to them my senior year, it's just an embarrassment."




The University Idaho was our Five Star College Football Game of the Year - our most important college football release of each season.

72% Pointspread Winners

My Executive Selections were released to members at 5:30 pm Eastern last night and they both made it a comfortable night for bettors.

Two units Miami Dolphins (+2) won outright at New Orleans. That brings Sports Monitor's NFL preseason pointspread record to 12 wins and 5 losses - 71% winners.

We opened the 2009 College Football season with a one unit play on Boise State (-3). The Broncos got out to a 19-0 lead and just walked it in. Of course, I had to deal with that whole dilemma of what to watch, the Boise State game or the Michael Jackson funeral. Nah.

This should be a wonderful weekend of college football as games will be played and televised Friday, Saturday, Sunday and on Labor Day Monday. If you haven't seen the schedule yet, it's an interesting opening week college schedule that finishes up Monday with the Miami-Florida/Florida State prime time contest.

Overall, that brings our 2009 football pointspread overall total to a wonderful 13 wins and 5 losses - 72% pointspread winners. That's as good as it gets and I'm very proud to put up numbers like that. Let's keep up the good work - I pledge to do my best all season.

My Private Plays went 1-1 last night and I've now won seven of my last eight Private Plays.

Things I Love

UNLV Football

I support my local teams as much as anyone else who is proud of their region. I'm a fixture at UNLV games throughout the year, no matter what the sport is. Football, basketball, baseball, volleyball and many other sports as well.

The UNLV football program is a relatively small program but it brings endless hours of excitement to me. I'm a regular at their practices and I follow the team year-round. Homecoming week brings daily/nightly events. Next year is finally here and dare I say it - The Rebels will be going to a bowl game this season. Mark it down.

The Rebels return four offensive line starters from last year's team that allowed just 14 sacks in 12 games - ranking them among the best in the nation.

Starting quarterback Omar Clayton returns as does wide receiver Ryan Wolfe. Ryan Wolfe will be playing on Sundays next year - throw the ball to him, he's money.

The big question will be UNLV's defensive line. It appears that they are bigger and faster than what they showed last season - the Rebels were among the worst Division-1 teams in sacks and tackles for a loss in 2008.

Before I go on with 3000 words here, I'll back down and predict that the Rebels are a surprise team this year in the Mountain West Conference which will feature no less than three Top-25 teams, TCU, BYU and Utah.

The Rebels open with three home games this year while playing seven home games overall. The Rebels open up against Sacramento State this Saturday night and face Top-25 ranked Oregon State in week two. I'm calling for the Rebels to upset Oregon State next week. I'm looking for the Rebels to be 4-0 going into the rivalry game at Nevada-Reno on October 3rd. That's the biggest game on the UNLV schedule each season.

I'm looking forward to this Saturday's opener at Sam Boyd Stadium - a cold front is predicted for later in the week. It looks as if it's going to be only about 90 degrees at kickoff .
