    Probably another middle of pack finish this season in conference and getting ousted in the first round of the BW tournament

    How many more years of Ganot do we fans need to be put through ? Constantly poor recruiter.

    Unfortunately seems like a while. The non conference has enough winnable games and they typically do well enough in conference to get to or near the 20 win mark even though they ultimately get ousted right away in the tournament. Ganot also runs a clean program

    FOOTBALL !!!

    The Hawaii football team is bringing reinforcements for Saturday’s road game against New Mexico.

    Receiver Kumoku Noa is set to make his 2019 debut after a variety of ailments limited him to six games during his four-year UH career.

    And defensive end Mason Vega, who missed the past two games because of an ankle ailment, also has been cleared for the inter-division Mountain West meeting.

    GO WARRIORS !!!

    BEAT UP them LOS LOBOS !!!

    should beat NM. Weak pass defense against our weak run Defense. Again, just gotta outscore them. #2 QB for NM potential but not enough reps. 52-21 WIPEOUT! We hope.


  14. Honu888 October 24, 2019 9:26 pm

    ST any news on injuries? Wasn’t there a couple DB’s/Safeties that got injured against Air Force?

    UH to get $1.9 mill for body bag game at Mich / 2022.


  17. Maddog50 October 25, 2019 5:18 am

    Gonna have to earn this and reset the season. Anything less than a sound solid effort would not bode well. I expect the Warriors to come out firing on all cylinders-GoWarriors!!!

    Dave Reardon reports that Mary Buggs, mother of point guard Drew, recently passed away. Condolences to the Drew and his family.

    They must be really struggling to schedule teams if they’re doing a home and home vs New Mexico State in the same season. Not exactly a team that sparks excitement


  20. PONO October 25, 2019 8:38 am

    Ganot is BORING. Although I will give him credit that he does get people out to his fundraisers. Maybe that partially offsets the decline in ticket sales.


  21. NorthShoreFan October 25, 2019 9:10 am

    Condolences to the Buggs Ohana.


  22. SteveM October 25, 2019 10:13 am

    Hi folks…I’m back, mostly. Mahalo for all the good wishes!

    I hope the team has a charter flight back from Michigan in 2022… to get back home ASAP and begin treatments to get ready for the remainder of the season.


  23. NorthShoreFan October 25, 2019 10:37 am

    Great news SteveM…..heal up and hope to see you at the next Tsaiko get together.
