• Give credit to the fans. Maybe they weren’t all there for a couple of games this year, but when it counted — last night — they were loud and supportive longer than the game was suspenseful. They did their job, and for that, UH should thank them. • There didn’t seem to be any flow to the season. I blame the 36-day break between home games, Central Arkansas to Fresno State. You can’t re-start a season, and that’s what […]
The funniest person I know (sorry Augie) — the beautiful Lei Colburn (Pearl City ’79), an engineer and field manager for The Gas Company — has selected the winning entry. And two tickets go to … Slugger. I guess karma does work. I’ll drop off the tickets at the tailgate. By the way, Augie is performing on Maui, and in Kaneohe and Kapolei this month. OK, OK. Augie is the funniest person I know. But Lei is a close second. […]
Once again, the brilliant Avis Yasumura has drawn the winning names. And she picked … Liem and Bulla. Each wins a pair of tickets to the UH-Wisconsin game.

Once again, the lovely and wickedly humorous Avis Yasumura (Castle High grad) has selected the winner. And the pair of tickets go to … Pete Jek. Thanks again for playing. We’ll have more drawings tomorrow. All of the winners who haven’t contacted me, should e-mail: sstsai@hawaii.edu or call my cell at (808) 256-0223.

The very beautiful and funny Avis Yasumura, one of the most honest people in the medical profession, has drawn the winning name . . . Mrs. A-House. She wins two tickets to the UH-Wisconsin game. Thanks for playing. We’ll have another drawing tomorrow. * * * * * Thanks again to Blaze Soares for serving as our Warrior Beat Show guest today. And congrats to our ticket winners: Tombo Ahi and Made In Hawaii. * * * * * By […]
Copy editor Christie Lee Williams (Aiea ’85), not to be confused with Maui correspondent Christie Wilson or UH video coordinator Chris Williams, has picked Kenton as the winner of two tickets to the UH-Wisconsin game. Thanks for playing, and we’ll be giving away more tickets this week. Kenton, please e-mail me at sstsai@hawaii.edu. * * * * * Cornerback Travaun Nixon of Ventura College told the Warrior Beat he is joining the Warriors. Nixon is 6 feet and 190 pounds. […]
My pal, Christie Lee Williams, picked the winner … Crystal. Please e-mail me at sstsai@hawaii.edu, and Wena will mail you the tickets. Please join us for tomorrow’s contest. * * * * * Well, that’s the thing about sports. It’s unpredictable. (Hey, the Warriors always call a timeout when it’s fourth-and-1, which is why I’m glad I didn’t take my usual shi-shi break when they went for it in the fourth quarter. But I digress.) The point being is that […]
