HSA Note: "School officials said 77 percent of the football season tickets - about 18,500 of 24,000 sold in 2009 - have been renewed. This week, UH started the call-back campaign, with Austin and his teammates asking fans to renew their season tickets."
About how he received good responses from the fans he talked with, Rodney Bradley said:
"One of them asked me about my leg. They were pretty supportive." (HSA)
About how he stumbled during his first call but eventually got the hang of it, Alex Green said:
"I got used to it. They give you compliments and stuff. At first, it's like, 'Who's this?' I'll say, 'I'm Alex Green, with the UH football team.' They'll say stuff like, 'I like your running style.' " (HSA)
About how he was able to apply lessons that he learned in his business classes, Mike Tinoco (who got 3 Warrior fans to renew their season tickets) said:
"I actually felt I accomplished something." (HSA)
About how he enjoyed talking with their fans, Cayman Shutter said:
"I like talking to season-ticket holders. My parents are season-ticket holders. We always get excited when the season tickets show up, and we get the whole booklet. That's when you get up for the season. As fans, at least, I know what it's like." (HSA)
HSA Note: "Not all of the calls were fruitful. Several declined to renew, citing the economy. One fan said he "lost faith" in the program."
About being understanding when some fans don't renew their season tickets, Rodney Bradley said:
"We have to understand where they're coming from. I can understand because of the way the economy is. Even if they say 'no,' it's good to talk to the people who actually support us." (HSA)
About how some fans say that they are too old to go to games anymore, Jett Jasper said:
"Some of the people said they're too old to come to the games. They're 70, 80 years old. I guess that's a good excuse. But no other excuse will work on me." (HSA)
About how the players were willing help, especially with the free pizzas they delivered to the call rooms, Brian Smith said:
"Food is good motivation." (HSA)
HSA Note: "Cornerback Steven Christian has been cleared to participate in all offseason football activities. Christian, a third-year sophomore, suffered a labrum tear in his right hip after the 2009 spring practice. The injury worsened, requiring surgery in September. His rehabilitation involved slow range-of-motion exercises. Christian is expected to compete at left cornerback in training camp."
HSA Note: "Tinoco, who is recovering from a partially torn posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, said he is about two weeks away from being able to participate in 7-on-7 drills. During the third week of the five-week spring training, he suffered what was described as a "grade 1, grade 2" sprain." Sprains are rated on a 3-degree scale, with 3 the most severe. He said the injury did not require surgery."
About how he should be recovered before camp begins, Tinoco said:
"I'll be good before fall camp." (HSA)
