It is no surprise OC Sports is considered the leading contender to land the UH head football coach’s television show. Oceanic Cable has the television rights to UH sports, and its designated channel — digital 12 — is in need of supplemental programming. Hawaii News Now had served as producer of the Coach Mack Show. * * * * * Initial plans call for offensive tackle Levi Legay, who is suffering from a back injury, to serve as a student […]
For the price of a new DVD — $20 — football players can receive a T-shirt, sandwich meal, refreshments and wide-ranging instruction from the Warrior coaching staff at next month’s football camps at the UH grass practice field.

Head coach Norm Chow, who has final say on all number assignments, said he would like to reduce the number of duplicate jersey numbers. * * * * * Chow said spending a couple of days in Baltimore (to meet with Under Armour executives) might be helpful in preparing […]
Championship curses? Hardly. The fact is, the more teams there are in a sport, the longer the cycle and the smaller the opportunity for a championship. For instance, there are 32 teams in the NFL. If each took a turn winning a Super Bowl, one team would have had a 31-year drought. With multiple winners, the wait is longer. Of the 49 Super Bowls, 18 teams have won championships. The past 30 years, 10 of the 30 NBA teams and […]
June Jones said this morning that former UH quarterback Timmy Chang will be joining the SMU football team as a graduate assistant.

Jones said Chang expressed an interest in coaching about a year ago. Chang recently earned a bachelor’s degree, a requirement for a GA’s job. […]

Chow and athletic director Jim Donovan are in Maryland as part of Under Armour’s sponsorship meetings. Chow gave strong […]
