Herman Frazier Quotations

We talked a little bit (yesterday) and we'll talk some more. With the 13th game rule (for UH and 12 for everybody else) that went into place (for 2006 and beyond), we'll both have some openings to talk about.

I think everyone knows we did not have the financial windfall we thought we could get in football. We've gone back and reflected on that already.

We are excited about our upcoming foot-ball season. I think everyone knows we have worked diligently to improve the quality of non-conference opponents and this schedule is a direct result of our efforts.

We will sit down with her and there will be reduction of that this year.

We certainly appreciate the support we received from the Stadium Authority. Moving forward, we feel there is a new spirit of cooperation and partnership between the University of Hawaii and Aloha Stadium.

We're going to try to do the best we can do,

This three-game series helps strengthen our upcoming football schedules and we hope to add more quality teams as we move forward.

We are very pleased to come to closure with Oregon State on a game in Honolulu. We have a wonderful relationship with the Pac-10 Conference and its member institutions and we hope this leads to additional scheduling opportunities in the future.

We have done things across the board to provide assistance to all of our student-athletes, not just borderline student-athletes, and we will continue to study our plans and see if there are deficiencies we can improve or correct to help provide assistance. We are focusing on how to get our programs to where they need to be.

Between now and June 30, we still have the potential revenue in the sports of baseball, men's volleyball and men's basketball. We'll be pretty close to what's in the five-year plan for this particular year. We should be either zero or plus.

The scope of the disaster is indescribable. I'm sure our fans will respond with overwhelming support and provide much-needed funds for the victims of this catastrophe.

Scholarship reductions in any sport are not easy to accept. I have spoken to the coaches of both sports involved and impressed on them a need for improvement to avoid these scholarship reductions in the future.

Scholarship reductions in any sport are not easy to accept.

No question, it can bring in money for us. But the most important thing about it is it eases the transfers of tickets between the fans, and it gets people into the stadiums quickly.

A lot of times we field calls about the large blocks of tickets that are held by corporations and different people who sometimes don't come to the contests. Now they will be able to put those tickets back into the system.

There might have been a game back in football where if you have 2,000 more people come, then all of a sudden you've closed that gap. So we're in a fluid business and you just have to keep dealing with it.

In my public comments that were made to the stadium board, we came out and stated that it was always our intent to perhaps not pay any rent in the 2005 football season.

If I make a dollar that means we're working and then we'll start working on taking the cumulative deficit down.

I am pleased that the conference office and our department were able to work on this together and come to a conclusion.

For the most part, they have really been our bank. They have been the ones to step up and support us when we somehow get to downfalls.
