UH board meltdown last night; UNT board meltdown tonight, SMU board meltdown tomorrow night. Everybody gets their turn.

I was talking with a Tongan neighbor last week and asked him if he knew about Joe Kaho, and whether Kaho was a Tongan. My neighbor said that yes, Kaho was Tongan, from a large family in this area. He did say that he thought Kaho was probably "too old" to play now (this is from a guy who played under Lineweaver at Euless Trinity, but before their first state championship-in 2005 I believe), but I don't think a lot of people are aware of the conditioning required of young men and women in the Army and Marines these days. Not that the physical training requirements haven't always been demanding. Kaho certainly looked like someone who is physically capable. I, for one, hope that Kaho, like Sarge, can find a place for himself in Denton, not just for his own sake, but to show others from this area with a South Pacific Island heritage that UNT can be a good place to study and play football. Two things have been holding us back in this regard: a lack of winning, and a perception of being a little too close to home. Overcoming the first will go a long way towards making the second one irrelevant.
