Fine spirits at football event
Earlier this year, head coach Nick Rolovich and George Szigeti, president and CEO of the Hawaii Tourism Authority, were at the Legislature making their cases for more funding for their organizations.
“Six months later, we’re bidding against each other to raise money for the football program,” Rolovich said of Wednesday’s Pigskin Pigout.
At stake was Caymus Cabernet, one of the most revered red wines from the Napa vineyard.
“It was a good battle,” Rolovich said.
Szigeti ended up with the winning bid.
“It shows the unity of this state when it comes to UH athletics and especially UH football,” Rolovich said.
Afterward, Szigeti invited Rolovich to his house for a glass of the Caymus wine.
Rolovich did not come away empty-handed. He won a five-day stay in New Zealand.
“I’m currently the sole owner of the ‘best seat in the house’ for the Colorado State game,” Rolovich said. “I may coach from those seats.”
good mornin
That is probably the only way UH gets any money from George.
Was the governor or mayor there to support UH Athletics and to place a bid?
Looks like the new format scaring Tsaikos away.
Great Afternoon All!
Two (one hyphenated) words about the Pigskin Pigout:
Pork-belly sliders
Das it
I am not a robot. But the robots have taken over the blog and scared folks off!
GO WARRIORS!!!
Hawaii Warrior World is in pretty small text. Nice that the rainbow is still there, but it is too small also. Since there are huge blank spaces on either side of the webpage on a desktop, my guess is the code is optimized for mobile browsing. The formatting certainly looks much better on a cellphone. No matter though. As long as the Rainbow Warriors win, the plays are fun to watch, and the coaches continue to call time outs at appropriate points in the game, all will be well with the (warrior) world.
Guud Evening Tsaikos…Bootiful Evening!
Interesting format…
Yup, I’m not a robot but used to get treated like one during my employment days…
Prayers for the Jasper Ohana…and the five at sea.
IMUA WARRIORS!
Szigeti is a low life, back stabbing, 2 faced, piece of XXXX
He used to be in the Wholesale Liquor Industry … ask anyone
who worked for him …
“Rolo” … don’t trust that guy … remember when you had that
knife during the Nevada game … ??? Sure it was a prop but he
has one too but the difference is he’ll use it …..
Ask Mufi
Great food great times at Murphy’s!
Nick. in all seriousness, take George up on his offer to share a glass of wine and ask him why he does not support UH sports with more dollars than bidding on a bottle of wine……HTA hs a duty to support all organizations that bring bodies to the State and the exposure that UH will get the state is worth at least 2-3 million in support……..remember George, UH plays in Los Angeles this year- the number one travel market to Hawaii.
