Hawaii football: Kaimana Padello gets a rush heading into Oregon State game

By Brian McInnis on September 4, 2019

Unlike a typical play in an opponent’s backfield, Kaimana Padello never had a chance. He never had a chance to watch his alma mater, Mililani High School, live in the stands at a football game in the time since he graduated in 2016. Until, that is, Hawaii’s bye on its schedule last week. The senior rush end took full advantage to go watch his Trojans take on Liberty High of Las Vegas last Friday while much of the rest of […]

Hawaii football: Cole McDonald not lacking for motivation against Oregon State

By Brian McInnis on September 3, 2019

Cole McDonald has nothing personal against Oregon State. He even has fond memories of some former members of the Hawaii coaching staff who now work in Corvallis. But come Saturday at Aloha Stadium, the Rainbow Warriors’ starting quarterback plans to hold nothing back. The opponent is immaterial to him. In Week Zero against Arizona, McDonald thrilled a national TV crowd with some freewheeling gunslinging, uncorking four touchdown passes to go with four interceptions. But with his fourth pick, coach Nick […]

AP College Football Poll: Week 1 produces little movement

By Dave Reardon on September 3, 2019

For the Top 25, it was a relatively unremarkable first week. Of course there was Jalen Hurts’ superb performance (508 yards of offense, three touchdowns passing and three MORE rushing) as No. 4 Oklahoma beat Houston 49-31 on Sunday. Only time will tell if the Alabama transfer can become the third consecutive Sooners quarterback to win the Heisman Trophy after Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray. After the first week, Hawaii’s Cedric Byrd is flying above the rest, with his 224 […]

Rainbow Forecast: Football faces Oregon State, volleyball hosts another tourney, soccer heads to Dakotas

By Brian McInnis on September 2, 2019

Is it Monday already? Well, if it is — and we think it is, because it’s Labor Day — that means a fresh installment of the Rainbow Forecast. For the first time in the athletic calendar, all three fall sports teams are in action this week. UH football is coming off a bye week, UH women’s volleyball hosts the Heineken Rainbow Wahine Invitational (fresh off winning the Hawaiian Airlines Classic), and UH soccer hits the road for the first time this […]

‘Bows in the Pros: Hawaii football alum John Ursua makes Seahawks roster

By Stephen Tsai on August 31, 2019

No news was good news for former University of Hawaii football player John Ursua. By not being alerted by today’s 10 a.m. deadline to pare NFL rosters, Ursua has made the Seattle Seahawks’ opening-day 53-man roster. “The process is different,” Ursua told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser’s Stephen Tsai in a telephone interview. “It’s opposite the draft. You don’t want to receive a phone call. If you receive a phone call, then you’re cut. They let you know by not letting you […]

Warrior Beat: Friday Hawaii football notes

By Stephen Tsai on August 30, 2019

Football pool takes on a different meaning today with the Warriors’ training at the Duke Kahanamoku Aquatic Complex. It was a refreshing change for the Warriors, who already conducted three two-hour practices during this bye week. * * * * * A ruling on offensive lineman Michael Eletise‘s eligibility for this season is now back in the NCAA’s jurisdiction. Eletise transferred from Arizona this summer. He requested a waiver that would allow him to play this season without redshirting. Arizona […]

VIDEO: Hawaii football’s Saint Louis, Bishop Gorman alums trade chatter ahead of ‘The Showdown’

By Brian McInnis on August 29, 2019

“The Showdown” between prep powerhouses Bishop Gorman and Saint Louis School will have far-reaching implications from Aloha Stadium on Friday night. One of those teams remain in the discussion for a high school national football championship. But maybe more importantly, bragging rights will be firmly established over on the UH Manoa campus, and more specifically in the Rainbow Warrior football team’s locker room. UH has healthy representation on both sides, with a dozen combined players and coaches part of the […]
