Congrats to Tumua. The years of hard work finally paid off.

Reaching back in the foggy memory bank, the first time I saw Tumua’s dad play was at Waianae. I’m thinking, who is that rather large kid playing middle linebacker. Think it was Tom’s sophomore or junior year. It was rare to see someone over 6 feet and 200 pounds playing linebacker, but coach Ginoza knew he had someone special.

Reinhold Stuprich? Can’t forget that name, or the game at Honolulu Stadium.

Congrats to Tamua for his hard work!

Who was the former WAC baseball coach (SDSU) that smashed a box of pineapples given as a gift to visiting teams in the dugout at Murakami Stadium?

SAMford baseball team beat a #7 national seed Florida St. in the 1st round (not Stanford).
————————————————————————————-
Speaking of pineapples, UH played in Poi Bowls, 1936 to 1939 and Pineapple Bowls,1939-41 and 1947-52.
No pineapple offense, but UH had the Hula-T offense under Larry Price and they beat BYU, 15-13 in 1975 on 5 FG’s by Reinhold Stuprich, defensive coordinator Blangiardi. Next win vs BYU was 15 years later.

i distinctly remembered with fond memories of Mark and Tom Tuinei playing for one of Hawaii’s great football coach Dick Tomey’s team. I believe both brothers earn Western Athletic Conference (when our Hawaii football team was part of the WAC) football honors. I am not sure, but I believe both were tops in the WAC. Congratulations Tumua…. very happy our University of Hawaii takes care our family of football players..

Remember when the Broncos had the Orange Crush Defense?
Hawaii tried to promote a Pineapple Crush Defense.
Yeah, that didn’t work.

A Stanford player is holding up a pineapple in the dugout.

It’s a rally pineapple.

Is this cultural appropriation?

Discuss.

Cal State-Fullerton is not your typical three seed.

It’s like Wichita State having to face Kentucky in the second round(in basketball).

I think the committee wanted to stick it to scandal-plagued Baylor.

Go Big West!
