Rimington Award

Well John Estes didn't win the Rimington Award for Outstanding play by a Center, it was won by Maurkice Pouncey from Florida. Congratulations to him for the award. We wish it would have gone to John though because in my and most Warrior fans he was the one who deserved it.

Game Final

Wisconsin wins 51-10 taking Hawai'i's record to 3-5 WAC, 6-7 Overall

Thanks to the players for another great football season, that was a great comeback in the last third of the season but we fell one short. Thanks again to the seniors and here's to next year and challenging Boise State for the WAC title.

Aloha

Game Update #2

4:40 to go in the fourth quarter Wisconsin has it well in hand 44-10. The Badgers played one hell of a game, congratulations to them. You know that the game is over when the opposing team has one of their linebackers kick the extra point. Now we can just focus on the seniors and wishing them the best going forward in the rest of their college year and to the future roads that they will travel.

Mahalo for another fun and exciting Warrior Football season!

Santa Sighting

Santa was spotted running down the field with 4:30 left in the 3rd quarter. He was promptly detained by security and escorted off the field. By the looks of him he needs to start eating a little more.

Rainbow Wahine Volleyball

Great job ladies on the defeat of USC, The Rainbow Wahine now move on to the National Regional match against Stanford. Good Luck, and continue on towards bringing that title to the islands.

Aloha!

Game Update

Wisconsin leads 27-3

The Warriors have to come out in the third quarter and start putting some points on the board or this game is all but over. Wisconsin is just running down Hawai'i's throat. The first half was all Badger offense. Lets go Warriors and get back in this game there is still time.

Go Warriors!!!!!!!1

Gameday

The day of the big game is here. This one has a lot riding on a victory. Not just for a Bowl berth, but also a winning season, and a win for the seniors.

Game food is ready, Hawai'i gear is on, now just sit back and wait for the kickoff!

I'm going to say UH wins 35-31 in OT.


Go Warriors!!!!!!

Friday, December 4, 2009

Congrats to Inoke Funaki for his selection to the NCAA Football Coaches Academy, he deserves this honor. He has stated he wants to go into coaching and I cant think of a better player to go get training to one day follow this dream.

Hopefully John Estes will finally get the honor he deserves by winning the Rimington Trophy for his outstanding play at center. Estes has been in the running for this award virtually from the start of him coming to the University of Hawai'i.

Sheraton Hawai'i Bowl Update

Just heard on ESPN Radio that Southern Methodist University (SMU) has accepted an invitation to play in the Sheraton Hawai'i Bowl.

This makes the game against Wisconsin even more important, because with a win the Warriors would be able to face off against their former coach. A UH/SMU Bowl game would be a fun game to watch due to the same offensive play calling. Go Warriors so we can have one hell of a fun bowl game.
