It took a little bit, but I can feel my toes and fingers again, so let’s re-open the blog. And we begin with a contest: Two tickets to Sunday’s Na Koa football banquet. To enter, please post: Aloha, Rainbow Warrior seniors You may enter multiple times, but you can’t pledge your winnings to someone else, such as: “If I win, please give my tickets to Kate Upton …” OK, you actually can give your tickets to Kate Upton, if she […]
It’s a travel day, so we’ll re-open the blog this afternoon. Or so. Congrats to Punahou, Mililani, Kaiser and Kauai for great seasons.
It’s game day. Follow here: Stephen’s tweets * * * * * This morning: * * * * * From yesterday’s walk-through:
Laramie — We’re told the range is between 12 and 32. That’s Fahrenheit, not the age range for video-game users. The Rainbow Warriors arrive this afternoon, then will have a quick walk-through before heading to Cheyenne for the night.
Yep, it’s true. Aaron Glover of Princess Anne High in Virginia Beach confirmed to the Warrior Beat he has accepted a scholarship offer from the Rainbow Warriors. Glover said the Warriors began recruiting him this summer, visited him two weeks ago when they played at Navy, and made a solid offer. Glover is 6 feet and 205 pounds. He plays linebacker and safety, but was told he would compete at strong safety for UH. To be sure, Glover is very […]

Fairchild did, and with his mother’s blessing, he accepted the offer on Tuesday. Fairchild, who is 6-4 and 225 pounds, gives the Warriors’ a perimeter threat who can play on the edge as an outside linebacker or […]
The Rainbow Warriors conducted a scrimmage yesterday for redshirts and developing (and under-used) players. Bubba Poueu-Luna and Samson Anguay had touchdown catches. Josh Gist had a 100-yard interception return for a touchdown. Keelan Ewaliko made an acrobatic one-handed interception. On the return, Ewaliko displayed the shiftiness that made him a quarterback star at Baldwin High. Here’s the script: • 1st-and-10 from 40 — Ikaika Woolsey 8 pass to Josh Long • 2nd-and-2 from 32 — Jason Muraoka 4 run • […]
• The headline should have been: “Eli’s Coming” • OK, young people, there was this group called Three Dog Night that sang … • Back in the day, they used to determine the cold by the number of dogs used as bed warmers. For instance: “It will be a three-dog night in Laramie this Saturday.” • Tavita “Tui” Eli is a great “get,” as the recruiting folks like to say. • Eli will be a nice addition to a growing […]
