Quotes about UH's facilities

http://www.thehawaiichannel.com/news/14698836/detail.html

ESPN announcer Sean McDonough criticized UH's facilities during the end of the national broadcast of the BSU game, saying:
"If you saw the practice field and their office buildings, you'd be amazed that they can have this kind of success with their facilities in, quite frankly, an embarrassing state of disrepair." (KITV4)


About the criticism of the facilities, JJ said:
"It's not anything that isn't known." (KITV4)


About how his players do not come to UH for the facilities, JJ said:
"They come here because it is a great place to live and because it is a great place to play football. And umm, if we were recruiting to facilities, we wouldn't get anybody. Those are the same dorms I lived in in 1973." (KITV4)


About how getting to a BCS game should help them improve their facilities, JJ said:
"We get to the big dance, it's going to help because the athletics department can get some money. Hopefully that means Cooke Field will get some Field Turf." (KITV4)

KITV4 Note: "The UH Athletics Department said Athletic Director Herman Frazier was not available to talk about the issue until his weekly press conference on Tuesday."


About how he doesn't show off their facilities to recruits, Solomon Elimimian said:
"You can't hide it. You know? But we try to take them away from the facilities and to Waikiki Beach." (KITV4)
