Warriors arrive
The Warriors arrived in New York this morning, where they visited the National September 11 Memorial.
Coach Nick Rolovich brought a lei in memory of a friend, according to a UH official.
The Warriors then stopped for pizza — yes, this is the city that never sleeps nor stops eating — on the walk back to the buses. They are expected to arrive in Springfield, Mass., this afternoon, check into the hotel, and then have a walk-through session.

The SA has a UH Warrior football insert in today’s paper. It covers all the positions’ depth chart, and features write-ups on key players.
Just to echo H-Man, multi-page insert in today’s SA with numerous articles by Stephen. If you don’t normally get the SA, this might be a good one to pick up.
Go Warriors!
Meanwhile, at UMASS the cry goes out: “The Warriors are coming, the Warriors are coming!!!” Time’s running out for the Minutemen!
GO WARRIORS!!!
CLOCK THE MINUTEMEN!!!
Hopefully they got some rest on that long journey. New York is an amazing city. So now on to the game. I see it as a slightly uphill battle but a win. UMass is hungry and at home, we to have an appetite but have traveled a long way so it may take a quarter or so to get on track-I think turnovers as being a key along with the kicking game-GoWarriors!!!
49 – 34. We will block one PAT.

For some reason, the insert wasn’t posted on line.
ST, the SA provides print copies to digital subscribers with their subscription, so I suppose it does not matter.. Regarding the game, I count on the Minutemen to score at least 4 TDs. Ad to limit them to 28 points, It will be up to the Warriors’ defense to manage the Minutemen’s running game. Conversely, Warriors have to execute their running game. I think they will. People are talking about UMass’ huge O-line – they are and are effective, especially in short yardage. But our O-line is good too and will create enough space for our runners. I say we have the horses to win.
Looked at the NCAA schedule for opening week and there are 5 games listed. All of them look to have Hawaii exemption, except for Stanford vs Rice, so how is it that Stanford gets to play a week earlier?
Really glad that Mainlanders can watch on the MWC App
Go Warriors !!!

Game Week …

Den, we have to get the win too!!!

ST, thanks for the SA insert. Would have liked to know who the entire travel roster was, but can’t get everything I suppose. This first game is tough to pick. Forget last year, this is whole new situation, the first game as opposed to the last game. In a nutshell, both teams can score some points and both gives up a lot of points too. UMass is at home so that’s in their favor. Rolo seems to feel the team has practiced well on both sides of the ball, and have shown maturity and a business like mentality. The kicking game is a question. Key players return on both teams and both have new defensive coordinators. The difference could be turnovers, the kicking game, or a couple of big plays.
Either way, I do think it will be a high scoring affair and which defense plays better. Under Rolo, UH has won a couple of road games, at Air Force and Fresno St. and both were tight games. UMass is not a Pac 12 type game, but they played well against Florida, Miss. St., and South Carolina last year and was able to score some points. I don’t like to have a lot of stress, but I just think this game is going down to the wire again, probably on a kick. The advantage is with the home team, but I am a Hawaii fan, so I will pick our team 41-40 on a field goal by either Meskell or Trifonofitch. Let’s pray!!!!!
I have a digital subscription without subscribing to the print edition. I would like to see the football insert. ST, I hope it gets included in the online SA soon.
I went to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield last year. One thing that struck me was Michael Jordan’s footprint. He has small feet for a 6’6″ guy. Now Shaq’s footprint was ginormous. There is also a Hawaii tie to the founding of b-ball that I did not know about.
As for UMass, the students aren’t in school yet, so attendance at the game may not be up to snuff. A loud UH contingent in the stands could give the Warriors an added jolt.
New holder and placekickers this season, might affect the team results.
This blog is heating up. Latest on UMass a starting LB and team leader has retired due to knee. One of the two Qbs is questionable so I think it’s Ford we’ll be seeing
azwarrior22,
Stanford v. Rice in Sydney, AUS this year.
Anybody know what channel the game will be on, I am talking Spectrum (Oceanic) cable?
Guud Afternoon Tsaikos…Bootiful Day!
Don’t know why…not playing n the fame…but I starting to get the pre-game jitters in mY belly. Energy level is creeping up, starting to visualize plays and the banging that’s going to be delivered….IT’S TIME FOR WARRIOR FOOTBALL!
IMUA WARRIORS!
Ferd Lewis’ tweet from 8/11/17 – UH football opener Aug. 26 vs. UMass available FREE of PPV charges to all its subscribers (ch. 257 & HD 1257), Spectrum says. #HawaiiFB
aloha all. 3 days….
man, this robot test is tough. too many verifications.
Be calm be at peace. Not to worry my almanac for 2017 shows Hawaii winning 48 to 21. I just watched “Back to the Future”. I’m not a robot.
Not a dye hard fan but just for the heck of it i’ll go 27-24 UH.
I’ve been through UH Warrior Football withdrawals since the end of The Hawaii Bowl … however I am being cautiously optimistic vs UMass … if I read correctly they return quite a bit of lettermen / starters so it’ll be a game of who has improved the most since December … it’s going to take a collective effort from everyone returning last year to put another successful campaign together now that they know what it takes to win and hopefully the UNLV & New Mexico games taught them what will happen if they get ahead of themselves & get “big headed” … everyone in The MWC now knows we are for real and won’t take us lightly.
LIVE ALOHA / PLAY WARRIOR / DEFEND THE ROCK … GO ‘BOWS … !!!!!
Couldn’t help but be extremely impressed by ST’s writing in this morning’s insert!!! Just a genius with the pun and analogy and the way he weaves a unifying theme through the article. Just catches your attention and pulls you along like a malasada on a string tied to a stick. Makes the player pop out from the background and slides in tidbits of information that demonstrate the wonderful character and energy of the team. 5 STARS….
We are fortunate beyond belief, to have Stephen writing for us. Go and read other teams’ newspapers and you’ll quickly see what I mean.

btw St, only cash, no checks. Only too happy to help your drive for a pay raise 🙂
Nice to see that game wiil be free on OC16.
Need to be a robot to pass the I not a robot test.
I wish I could get a copy of the insert.
Warriors 38

I just noticed the insert, by article/position, is now posted by ST on the SA digital subscription. Happy reading.

Excellent job! Stephen really enjoyed pull out section now online-I have a hard copy being sent from a friend. So now we are dogs by 2 this week. Actually going to go out and watch the game at a local establishment for the first time in a few years-one last thing-a certain sportswriter not Stephen has his predictions. Once again he will be way off, particularly the UNLV prediction. “Book that Dano”
It’s the 1936 Olympics and UMass is the first hurdle.
Hawaii is another sort of Owens to some people.
