Will the new HC bring back Vili the Warrior?

Post by BigWave96744 »

Even if for special appearances like Homecoming?
Vili and son Sam just performed at the 2022 Hula Bowl in Orlando, Florida.

Here is an interview from last month

I enjoyed watching Vili, but I think that he won't be asked back.
Cats don't have owners. Cats have servants.

Was going to ask, if JJ, will the team still be "Rainbow Warriors?"

Could they make "Vili" part of the cheer squad? A student, paid PT or scholarship. A new younger Vili.

Chow brought in his own Warrior, but he never lasted a full season

Vili and the Haka only work if the team is winning. If not wining, so scare, and would look rather "silly."

No to Vili but yes for another Warrior mascot. Why Vili? None of his sons went to UH, they thought UH was beneath them.

I saw the video of him greeting his son at the airport.

Just wondering because I didn't read up on him. How many sons did he have? Were they good players that they were recruited by mainland schools? Or there were interest from UH, but they were not interested to play for UH?

Doesn't take away the fact that he was the dopest mascot in college FB. His sons had to obligation to attend UH bc they played the drums with their dad. I believe Whitney came to UH or planned to then retired???
