AP College Football Poll: What starts with Ti and is ranked No. 1?

By Dave Reardon on October 13, 2019

We’re at about the halfway mark of the season, and things are beginning to sort themselves out. A dozen unbeaten Division I (FBS) teams remain, and they’re all in the AP Top 25 … as it should be, right? Last week we discussed how not all undefeateds are created equal. And while that is still true, at this point does anyone really begrudge Minnesota, Appalachian State or SMU a place in the rankings, at least until they lose a game? […]

Stan Sheriff Center: Hawaii basketball’s international house of hoops was packed for win over Tulsa

By Dave Reardon on October 13, 2019

The University of Hawaii has always had to look off-island for basketball talent if it wanted to seriously compete. The Rainbows took that a Euro-step — and beyond — farther nearly two decades ago. It was right before 2000 when veteran head coach Riley Wallace agreed to let assistant Scott Rigot use his strong international recruiting connections to build a squad of players from around the world. The Rainbows ended up with stars and role players from Canada (Phil Martin […]

Boise State leaves Hawaii football feeling blue on the blue turf

By Warrior World on October 12, 2019

In the Nick Rolovich era, every time the University of Hawaii football team appears ready to take a big step forward, it flies into reverse. No. 14-ranked Boise State showed why it rules supreme in the Mountain West Conference by beating Hawaii 59-37 before a sellout homecoming crowd of nearly 37,000 at Albertsons Stadium in Boise, Idaho. The curse of the blue Smurf turf continued for the Rainbow Warriors as they dropped to 0-7 lifetime in the famed facility in […]

By Brian McInnis on October 12, 2019

The 10 who saw action in Hawaii’s Green & White scrimmage on Saturday afternoon had every opportunity to make a case for playing time in the upcoming 2019-20 season. Redshirt freshman Zoar Nedd did just that, scoring 10 points in 25 minutes of game action spanning three periods in front of a crowd of about 400 at the Stan Sheriff Center. “It was special.

Stan Sheriff Center: Visiting Michigan State served up a bitter pill for unbeaten Wahine

By Dave Reardon on October 12, 2019

This was one of the University of Hawaii’s best volleyball teams ever, and that is saying a lot. On Dec. 8, 1995, the Wahine were undefeated, 31-0, headed into their NCAA regional final against Michigan State. Then UH’s lineup of All-Americans and Big West all-stars — Jenny Wilton, Therese Crawford, Joselyn Robins, Angelica Ljunquist, Nalani Yamashita, Cecilia Goods and future Olympian and UH head coach Robyn Ah Mow — went up two sets to none. The Wahine had national coach […]

Hawaii women’s volleyball: Memories of Michigan State loss

By Cindy Luis on October 12, 2019

Coming in at No. 8 on our Stan Sheriff Center Top 10 countdown was the upset by Michigan State of then undefeated Hawaii at home in the 1995 regional final. My memory might be a little shaky on some of the details but this is what I recall. The Wahine were so close to making it to Springfield, Mass., birthplace of volleyball and being part of the centennial celebration. The Warriors volleyball team had been there in May as part […]
