GEE THANKS, ONE DAY BEFORE THE SCRIMMAGE THEY PUT IT IN THE PAPER AND ON WARRIOR INSIDER!
Last week I emailed the athletic director’s office asking why they hidden put up a schedule or a current roster of players. NO ANSWER. Can’t tell you how disappointed I am UH. And why is it at 5pm? Nothing going on latter on. Guess they want to keep the turn out low to match their pathetic football attendance.
Just noticed both roster and schedule are now posted. Better late than never. Poor performance. I am sure the team will do better.
I hope they post full game video … Maybe get some practice taking the video and posting it before the real season starts. … But any video at all is appreciated.
The UH site had the roster up in July before the Australian trip and the schedule was posted in August.
Warrior Insiderposted about the new schedule on August 15 and also introduced the roster on Sept 27 with a video.
