Comments on: Saturday…iLind.net gets a new look and hopefully a fix, bill pushed ahead that would free land board from rule-making process, and Portnoy asks “where are the students” at UH games http://ilind.net/2008/02/23/saturdayilindnet-gets-a-new-look-and-hopefully-a-fix-bill-pushed-ahead-that-would-free-land-board-from-rule-making-process-and-portnoy-asks-where-are-the-students-at-uh-games/ Ian Lind • Online daily from Kaaawa, Hawaii Tue, 14 Feb 2012 05:21:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Green Bay Ray http://ilind.net/2008/02/23/saturdayilindnet-gets-a-new-look-and-hopefully-a-fix-bill-pushed-ahead-that-would-free-land-board-from-rule-making-process-and-portnoy-asks-where-are-the-students-at-uh-games/comment-page-1/#comment-588 Green Bay Ray Sun, 24 Feb 2008 02:36:52 +0000 http://ilind.net/2008/02/23/saturdayilindnet-gets-a-new-look-and-hopefully-a-fix-bill-pushed-ahead-that-would-free-land-board-from-rule-making-process-and-portnoy-asks-where-are-the-students-at-uh-games/#comment-588 As an old sports editor, there are two things wrong with the UH relationship with the students. One was the "three-day weekend" - students will get outa town if at all possible. The other is that with no real tradition of success, there's no real lure for the students. If it's there, they might go but they might also go to the bars or to a movie or something else where their friends will be. The school has to realize that it has to market the team to its students every bit as much as it does to the general public.

A number of hunters and others testified against it, explicitly complaining about a lack of due process & participation. Wisely, the Senate committee deferred this bill.
