Re: Tevita Finau will be a Trojan, Mountaineer, or Tiger soon

I thought Div 1A football doesn't have "partial" scholarships. Must be more in the way of grants and other financial aid.

Re: Man throws 2 year old baby off Kapiolani overpass!!

Mentally unstable or not, someone capable of that sort of act upon an innocent needs to be put down. I think of my daughter and I just KNOW that if someone did that to her that person would not live. If the court system cannot provide justice I would have to provide it myself.

Re: Shibata Commits to Navy

Going to any service academy is nice and all, but how come no football players from Hawaii play for Army? Plus the only one I can think of that went to Air Force ended up coming back to Hawaii.

Re: sell out 2008 season

I know this is a reach but if we work on selling out Aloha Stadium for the 2008 season this may help some of our players during this tough time. We could show JJ that we are so proud of the team and the coaching staff. Our new head coach and staff will need the commitment. I know I've put very litt...

Re: Will you be a SMU fan if JJ moves there?

Hell-to-the-NO! While I can understand Coach Jones leaving, and I wish him well, my number one priority is the University of Hawaii at Manoa. My second priority is the University of Southern California. I am an alumnus of both schools. From here on out, the only time Southern Methodist University wi...

Re: McMackin

Coach McMackin would be my first choice now that I know he would consider it, for all the reasons mentioned by Stephen Tsai. He is a great recruiter and motivator, plus he is one of our ace recruiters. Plus, I don't think it is a coincidence that the only two years he coached here were the only two ...

Actually, I thought Rolo was a GA at UH for a season or two, around the same time his brother was at UH.

They have tried

Every time this is brought up it is opposed by students who don't want to pay because they have no interest in going to athletic events and feel like they shouldn't have to subsidize the program. Come on now, this is a school where there are massive protests every time tuition hikes are brought up, ...

Rest In Peace

He had a lot of good, mellow flow to his songs, and the words really did have meaning behind them. I love his albums.

just doing a little fantasy dreaming here, but What if we go 12-0 and every other team in Division 1A ends up with 2 LOSSES? :o I know it sounds crazy, but don't you think we would get a lot of support ( and opposition ) for the National Championship Game at that point? \:D/ let's just hope we don'...
