Why are you here commenting on a Hawaii thread? Not enough to talk about with your own team? lol, why do Hawaii fans take over other all sorts of other threads? since you asked why, it's because it's funny to read the complaining, and just offering some logic to the thread - at no cost at that! I love Hawaii From a coaching perspective, it’s definitely not ideal because you have less opportunity/time to spend focusing on scheming for the Day 2 team because you have to honor the age old notion of not looking past the very next game on the schedule. And also yes, it absolutely affects the athletes physically. Maybe it’s not the deciding factor in poor play but it still makes a difference and it’s foolish to think otherwise.

ironically, hawaii is playing thu/sat this week on the road ... at ucr and ucd respectively .... Right. Enough with the Wahine thread back-to-back bacchi talk. Winning on the road is always more difficult, period. Good teams will lose on the road more frequently. Great teams accept the challenge and don't make excuses. Same for their fanbase. for sure, at the end of the day ... just gotta play. it is what it is ... i posted this earlier ... but in the first round of BW play ... ucsb, cal poly and hawaii each lost when on the road playing against each other. if one of them can steal a win on the road in the 2nd round, it could prove the difference (while also not taking unexpected losses along the way, of course) ... the critical road match-ups ... ucsb ... @ cal poly (11/5) cal poly ... @ hawaii (11/18) (also at long beach, 10/29) hawaii ... @ ucsb (11/25) (also at UCI, 11/12)

None can afford an upset with a Tier 2 or 3, at home or on the road. For matchups between Tier 1's, only UH is in a position to lose more than one and still have a reasonable chance at the AQ. Three conference losses is probably the max number of losses that can win the AQ.

You’re not playing the games, you don’t know the effects of back-to back games on the road with travel. The fact that Hawaii has been success is testament to Robyn, her coaches, and her team. It doesn’t make it any less difficult. the argument only the players can asses is like really, only players can comment on sports lol? why is anyone on here commenting about anything if they are not playing the games, lol just look at the data, it doesn't matter or it's not that significant sure I can comment, I've played sports all my life is there some potential fatigue factor? sure, is it such to make a dramatic difference? no as a player, I'd rather spend less time on the road and would prefer the back-to-backs, less of a grind overall if the conference wanted to schedule to let Hawaii play 3 away games and just kill one week playing some Tues, Thurs, Sat type of schedule - that'd be fine too - it would also result in more 'dead time' as well for Hawaii We all have our opinions. But the coaches and players think it makes a difference. Whatever. 🤷♀️

I wouldn’t count our chickens before they hatch… who knows who may transfer our next year…. Transfers? We’re not talking about a bunch of freshmen. Some players may want to spend their last year of eligibility playing closer to home or in general play closer to home.

Doubt it will be that common in the coming years. The covid+ era will be over soon, so having a year to pursue grad school anywhere isn’t going to be the norm anymore. Not to mention the “home” that they would be closer to, is typically the home of 4 years prior

I have a feeling someone is homesick and may want to continue her career closer to home.

I didn’t know Irvine also had to play a back to back. So I goes no other team has to do regularly what Hawaii does - play a back to back against a treated team. all teams play 20 games in the same amount of time have no idea what a treated team is, lol Hawaii is 9-1 playing back to back games, seems like it's not much of an issue, sheesh of course, I'm sure it's something to point to because of course Hawaii would be 10-0 and would have never lost a Big West match in 10 years if it wasn't for playing two games in two days in 2019, Hawaii lost two matches. both on Fridaysin 2021, Hawaii lost to SB on a Fri & lost to SB on a Saturday. I'm sure the Saturday loss was due to the back-to-back, so as to the Friday losses, well it is probably the thought of playing back to back that causes such havoc, lol I have to agree with you and say that I also don’t think it matters that much that Hawaii plays back-to-back. It may have a slight effect but if we’re talking purely about the Cal Poly match Hawaii just straight up got their butts handed to them….period point blank. Hawaii would also have to spend more time on the continent if they were to space out the matches. Everything is a give and take
