TNET: Riley has a

Stay off Oahu, not so exotic.

Also, like allorangeallthetime52® was trying to say, the offense doesn't need to be exotic it just needs to work.

Riley's offense at TCU wasn't exotic, more like Coach Boone in Remember the Titans - I only run a few plays, it's like Novacaine, just give it time, it always works.

When Riley came here, he was very honest and up front that his offense was very trimmed down and focused on executing to such exacting standards that it doesn't mean what the defense is running or if they even know the play call.

Cade's completion percentage is a very encouraging statistic. Give the team time to get game reps - they have been improving and getting closer to what we all expect from them every week!

True that Oahu isn't exotic like Kauai or Maui Hawaii, and that's mainly bc Oahu probably has 2-3 more times the people living on that that Island than any of the rest, including the Hilo (Big Island) But, I lived on Oahu just a little over 4 years, and my then wife and I would go to Kauai or Maui just to get away from all the people for the weekend, and to know that while living on Oahu we did take advantage of visiting other Hawaiian Islands. I will say this, I loved living on Oahu bc it's also beautiful place and it smells awesome in the mornings or right after a rain. If I could afford to live in Hawaii right now, I wouldn't have a problem with going right back to Oahu to live, and in fact, me and my wife were talking about moving to Hawaii several months before I injured my back bc I absolutely loved living there, but it is a costly place to live, and costly trip to have visited my family here on the main land.

We spent at least one weekend visiting all the Hawaiian Islands with the exception of Niihau, and that was bc when I lived on Oahu in the 1980's, the government that ruled over Niihau wasn't to welcoming of tourist/visitors, and if you didn't have family living on Niihau, you couldn't wonder or drive to other places on the Island, and they were very strict about making sure that you didn't wonder off by yourself, that could only be done with an official of Niihau bc they simply didn't want outsiders on their Island.

While on Oahu, I become very close friends with a few Hawaiian locals that their ancestor families had been in Hawaii all their lives on one Island or the other. One of those local Hawaiian friends that I made while there, we have stayed in touch ever since I left in the later part of the 1980's, and even today we still talk to each other no less than once a week, and sometime more, he is without a doubt one of the best friends that I've ever had, and we have kept our friendship alive all these year through Ma Bell. But anyway, when they started letting visitors on Niihau to roam around on their own, My friend Bryan tells me that when I come back to Oahu to vist, that a friend of his has a small plane that he uses for Island hoping, and they would take me to Niihau for a day being that was the only Hawaiian Island that I didn't get to visit when I was living in Hawaii!!!
