I know this has nothing to do with library-land, but the big news right now in Hawaii is that my alma mater, the University of Hawaii at Manoa has lost our college football coach! And if you think I’m sad about this, you should see my husband–you’d think there was a death in the family with the way he’s carrying on.
Jones’ Departure Throws Program Into Chaos
I earned both my undergratuate degree and my MLIS at the University of Hawaii, so even if I don’t agree with the way things are run there, I still support their athletic program. During my first year in library school at UH, the Warriors were 0-12, and this year, they were 12-0 and even played in the Sugar Bowl! Unreal. Coach Jones has done so much, not only for college football in Hawaii, but for the entire state as well. That’s why I was sad to hear that he has accepted the coaching gig at SMU.
But that’s ultimately his decision, and I do wish him and the SMU football team all the best. We will be forever grateful for all that he’s done and hope that he will always have fond memories of his years in Hawaii. What else can we say? Change is never easy and oftentimes, it’s not welcome either, but it’s inevitable. So even though we’ll miss June Jones, the UH Warriors must continue with the forward momentum and reap good things.
I know this post was off-topic, but this is my little corner of the internet, so I can do what I like. It was a slow library day.
