One Mic, Two Brothers: Mark Veneri and the Sound of Hawaii Football

UH Officially Out of MW Title Contention, But Still Much To Play For

Cal as a potential Hawaii Bowl opponent? With one final regular season game to go before the bowl game, there's still much intrigue left in the year: will anyone sit out of the Bowl?; Could Timmy face Rolo?; Does Timmy need to win his last two games to secure his new contract?

Regression in San Jose: 'Bows Going Backward At Wrong Time

When it looked like the team had finally turned the corner, UH gets outplayed at SJSU, even coming off a restful bye week.

With so many Hawaii alum on the Sparty sideline, it's no surprise that even with a losing record, the home team would bring added emotion to the field. But, to give up over 400 yards in the first half alone was not what we expected. And then to show no urgency down two scores in the game's final minutes...

Where do we go from here? Thankfully, it's still the Mountain West. And the team is still guaranteed a bowl. But with San Diego State in town - the team with the best odds in the MW to advance to the CFP - a spot in the title game won't be nearly easy as it was a week ago.

Kansei-Mania: Why One Local Writer Isn't Buying It All

The Tokyo Toe is everywhere these days, and UH Fans have a right to be excited to have a player garnering national acclaim. But after local politicians rallied to change the back of his jersey, from a romanized version of his name to the Kanji given to him at birth, it riled up one columnist in Hawaii, someone acclaimed in her own right.

Did Timmy just get his mentor fired? It appears that just moments after the 'Bows layeth the smacketh down on the Rams, the CSU AD delivered the people's elbow to Jay Norvell's tenure. Could Colorado State be targeting their old assistant coach? Yes, that one.
