Congrats to the UH Warrior football team!

For the first time in the school’s history, the Warriors have opened with a pre-season rank of #24! While many may attribute this to Heisman Trophy candidate UH quarterback Colt Brennan, the team’s most recognizable player, Brennan knows he wouldn’t look good without the abilities of his teammates. Brennan tells the Honolulu Star Bulletin:

“As far as me and John Estes, we have a great relationship. He started on the O-line last year, so I have a lot of confidence in him,” Brennan said. “Right now it’s all preliminary — we’re just walking through. As we move into camp we’ll improve our relationships with all our linemen and running backs so that they’re happy to block for us. “John’s a very humble and hungry kid. I’m really happy that he’s at the center position. As practice progresses throughout the summer we’re going to become closer.”

Yesterday was the first day of practice for the boys and Brennan was sporting a dreadlocked do to support his four starting receivers Davone Bess, Ryan Grice-Mullins, CJ Hawthorne and Jason Rivers all wear their hair in that manner. He said he was bullied into it by teammates and wanted to prove that even with all the hype he’s not taking himself too seriously.

I can’t wait for another season of Warrior Football to start and to see Vili the Warrior on the sidelines cheering our boys on to victory. My hope is with Hawaii’s top 25 ranking that the world will begin to notice what talented guys they have in Hawaii and maybe my dream team match up between Ohio State and the Warriors for the first wild card game of a season may not be a pipe dream forever!

Go Bows!
