Introduce yourself
Scott
Kalaheo HS '81 UH '93
I've been living on Maui since '93. I grew up watching UH football. Never got to go to a game 'cause I was always working Saturdays. Holiday's? What's a Holiday?
I used to love listening to Leahy on the radio live though.
They really need to figure out a way around this PPV thing for the outer islands. When I watch sports, I'm at the local pub. Pub's pay too much through the nose to host PPV games.
