The Warriors get to play a team they will probably beat today. And that's about it. Expect big things from Jay, but not overnight success http://www.staradvertiser.com/sports/furtherreview/20121221_Expect_big_things_from_Jay_but_not_overnight_success.html Full-speed ahead. That's the vibe I got from Ben Jay when he was finally introduced as the University of Hawaii's new athletic director on Thursday. Jay's plane-ticket benefit is money poorly spent http://www.staradvertiser.com/sports/furtherreview/20121219_Jays_plane-ticket_benefit_is_money_poorly_spent.html In this season of giving, the University of Hawaii is displaying its generosity. Big Christmas Eve turnout would be good for bowl future http://www.staradvertiser.com/sports/furtherreview/20121217_Big_Christmas_Eve_turnout_would_be_good_for_bowl_future.html The magic number for the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl is 14,500. That's how many people are needed in the Aloha Stadium seats on Christmas Eve to guarantee its existence a year from now. UH had some rare leverage in scheduling with Temple http://www.staradvertiser.com/sports/furtherreview/20121102_UH_had_some_rare_leverage_in_scheduling_with_Temple.html The last thing the University of Hawaii wants to do is follow up the Wonder Blunder with the Temple of Doom. So when the Owls came a-hootin' around again recently about playing a football game here, the Warriors brass was rightfully cautious. Te’o has all the attributes to win Heisman, except one http://www.staradvertiser.com/sports/furtherreview/20121031_Teo_has_all_the_attributes_to_win_Heisman_except_one.html “Te’o’s status as a pure defender is kryptonite to his candidacy.” — Chris Huston, publisher, HeismanPundit.com Give Schroeder a break from the constant beatings http://www.staradvertiser.com/sports/furtherreview/20121029_Give_Schroeder_a_break_from_the_constant_beatings.html It's time. It's actually past time. Some would say way overdue. But even those of us who know it is important to give Norm Chow plenty of latitude to build a program his way from the bottom up see it clearly. King gives Wahine hoops a reason to be optimistic http://www.staradvertiser.com/sports/furtherreview/20121028_King_gives_Wahine_hoops_a_reason_to_be_optimistic.html We start with the obvious disclaimer. The opponent was Hawaii-Hilo. Division II. Significantly less-talented. Much smaller. So the Division I big sisters from Manoa did what they were supposed to do Friday when the Wahine hoopsters took care of the visiting Vulcans by 25 points in a preseason exhibition. McMackin needs to make right choice at QB; his job could depend on it http://www.staradvertiser.com/sports/furtherreview/20111114_McMackin_needs_to_make_right_choice_at_QB_his_job_could_depend_on_it.html Nothing like a little quarterback controversy to deflect the heat off a coach, who may or may not be unwillingly nearing the end of his term, eh? Actually, the two issues are intermeshed in the University of Hawaii football team's current situation. Moniz will be missed http://www.staradvertiser.com/sports/furtherreview/20111113_Moniz_will_be_missed.html This wasn't how it was supposed to end for Bryant Moniz, but it almost seemed inevitable. With all the injuries depleting his offensive line and receivers, it's a testament to Moniz's elusiveness and toughness that he didn't get badly hurt sooner than Saturday, in UH's 10th game of the season.
