Congrats again to Stretch and Esme Infante-Nii for not only meeting their target goals for the Susan G. Komen For the Cure fundraiser, but for coming through on their daring dares. * * * * * It went largely unnoticed but Greg Salas played in all three phases — slotback, punt returner and safety — during the Idaho game. Safety? On the final play before the half, the Vandals lined up to take a knee and run out the clock. […]
• The team changed its travel schedule this year. In the past, after games, the Warriors would travel to Oakland, check into an airport-area hotel, then depart for Honolulu Sunday morning. Now after games, the Warriors go to Las Vegas, then depart on the 2 a.m. flight to Honolulu. They get home at 5 a.m. Sunday. • Rodney Bradley had successful surgery on his broken left leg. A rod was inserted into the injured area. • Joe Avery will be […]
MOSCOW, IDAHO — Worse came to worst. Wideout Rodney Bradley is undergoing surgery for a broken left leg, and he will miss the remainder of the season. He is expected to return to Honolulu Tuesday. Bradley suffered the injury when he appeared to be leg-whipped by Idaho safety Shiloh Keo. After the game, Keo apologized for what he said was an inadvertent play. He also said: “He’s in my prayers.” * * * * * Greg McMackin said he takes […]

Great practice today at Colfax High School. The highlight was the scuffle between linebacker Blaze Soares and offensive tackle Brett Leonard. It really sparked the practice. * * * * * * * * * * The Warriors are staying in a hill-top hotel. Thing is, there are no street lights on the drive up. And the hotel is next to a cemetery. One of the coaches described the hotel as “The Shining.” * * * * * The airport […]
The Warriors are scheduled to leave this afternoon. A few things: • Mike Tinoco was added to the travel roster in place of wideout Royce Pollard, who has a stress fracture in his left leg. • Jovonte Taylor, who did not play in the second half against Fresno State because of a sprained left ankle, said he is physically fit to start against Idaho. He will open at right wideout and also will serve as the No. 1 kick returner. […]
• On second thought … Greg McMackin said there now is a possibility defensive tackle Vaughn Meatoga will make the travel roster for Saturday’s game against Idaho. • Right tackle Adrian Thomas said he hopes to be cleared to practice this morning. He has been suffering from a lower-back injury. • Defensive tackle Geordon Hanohano has been cleared to play against Idaho. Last week, he was cleared to practice but not play in game. • Kicker Scott Enos said he […]
Whitey wins. Thank JuJu for choosing the winning name. * * * * * Quarterback Greg Alexander was hospitalized because of an infection in his surgically repaired left knee, UH head coach Greg McMackin said during today’s news conference. * * * * * The Warriors will practice from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. today. * * * * * Happy belated birthday to Kama Krab.
