June Jones should invest in a good mirror...

June Jones is paid well over $800,000 per year to coach the University of Hawaii... He is the highest paid State of Hawaii employee; he makes even more than Governor Linda Lingle...

2nd major brawl involving Hawaii this season alone... 3rd major brawl in the past 2 seasons...

A few weeks ago Coach Jones was threatening to withdraw Hawaii from this bowl game because several key players were in danger of becoming academically ineligible according to WAC and NCAA regulations.

Hawaii's star defensive end, Travis Laboy, who was the WAC defensive player of the year this season as a senior, had to sit-out the game because he failed to pass 6 credit hours this semester... 12 or 15 credit hours is the average load...

Just my humble opinion, but Coach Jones needs to stop blaming everyone else and start taking personal responsibility for these team problems...

I thought the officials did a great job by the way...
