Warrior Beat: Paniolo pride

By Stephen Tsai on October 2, 2018

The Wyoming football team is set to arrive late Thursday afternoon with 70 players and a prized possession — the Paniolo Trophy. Like Magnum P.I., this trophy is not the original. The one that was awarded between 1979 and 1997, when both teams were members of the Western Athletic Conference, was misplaced. But, hey, who’s going to notice? The Warriors have other goals entering Saturday’s Mountain West Conference game. The Warriors are 5-1 overall and 2-0 in the MW. They […]

VIDEO: Rainbow Warriors prepare for Wyoming

By Brian McInnis on October 2, 2018

The Paniolo Trophy is on the line at Aloha Stadium on Saturday when Wyoming comes to town to face Hawaii. The Rainbow Warriors (5-1, 2-0 Mountain West) are coming off an emotional, five-overtime 44-41 win at San Jose State. Wyoming, a power-running team, is 2-3 and 0-1 in the Mountain West, but has faced some very tough competition, losing to Washington State (4-1), Missouri (3-1) and Boise State (3-1). UH coach Nick Rolovich and running back Fred Holly III gave […]

Depth consolidation

By Stephen Tsai on October 2, 2018

After three full practices — 13, if you’re counting the pre-Australia trip workouts — the basketball ‘Bows have a full roster of options. “We have a foundation of how we run a program, a foundation of style of play,” UH coach Eran Ganot said. “We’re not stubborn. We’ll wrinkle it to our strengths. Maybe this year, there will be versatility within a game.” Translation: The ‘Bows have the personnel groups to go big, attack with two point guards, use a […]

Crunching numbers: OT success a good omen for UH

By Dave Reardon on October 1, 2018

Perhaps you think it is a cliche when it is talked about how good teams “know how to win” or “find a way to win” close games. But if we take a look at the University of Hawaii football team’s history when it comes to the closest of close games — those that go to overtime, there may be something to be said for that. Since overtime was instituted at the beginning of the 1996 season, UH is 9-5 in […]

Meskell named MW specialist of the week

By Stephen Tsai on October 1, 2018

Ryan Meskell, who kicked the game-winning field goal in the Warriors’ 44-41 victory over San Jose State, has been named the Mountain West’s special teams player of the week. Meskell connected on the decisive 35-yard field goal in the fifth overtime of the longest game in MW history. Meskell, a junior from Australia, also made field goals from 25 and 35 yards.

‘Bows sweat out Gym 1 session

By Brian McInnis on September 30, 2018

Saturday’s opening Hawaii basketball practice of the 2018-19 preseason was in the relative air-conditioned comfort of ‘Iolani School’s gymnasium. Sunday, it was back to the sweaty confines of UH Gym I, a place that is slated for a full renovation once work on Gym II is completed. That’s expected to be available in mid-December. By all accounts, the Rainbow Warriors went just as hard for about three hours Sunday’s as they did during Saturday’s closed session, which coach Eran Ganot […]

Warrior Beat: “It’s for the state”

By Stephen Tsai on September 30, 2018

The close games … the overtime battle in San Jose … the “believe” mantra … for Warrior followers, it’s starting to have an ’06-’07 vibe. Running back Dayton Furuta‘s gritty performance after not practicing the past week is a good story. Ryan Meskell‘s redemption from two missed field goals and a hooked PAT to what proved to be the game-winning 3-pointer is a better story. Asked what it was like to be a hero, Meskell said: “I’m not the hero. […]
