I never realized that some of those things about HAwaii and the University. I personally like the new uniforms.

I think my concern was the way to keep things clean and honorable in a football game. Kids try to emulate what they see in the NCAA and NFL. I also argee that the coaches should be taking care of this sort of stuff, btu many simply don't. SO how do you draw the line?

Its easy when a player takes a swat at another or starts pushing after the whistle, but what do you do when they are face to face jawing at one another? You can break it up, but unless you throw a flag, they probably going to do it again. By the time someone pushes/hits or shoves enough to get a flag, the game has already started to get ugly.

I suppose my question really come down to nipping it in the bud. WHne and where do you draw the line to keep things from degrading in a football game? How do you allow for some emotion without condoning the type of actions that will lead to violence?
