Ok, this is the big game! The Big Kehaka (Badger) as I call it! The game that will decide the post-season for the Hawai'i Warriors! and a chance to woop Junes Jones' butt on Christmas Eve in the Hawai'i Bowl! LOL! But that'll be all moot, if we don't win this one. I wish I was in Honolulu but earlier obligations have priority and I'll have to suffice with watching it away on TV tonight. 

I know, I know, Donovan Raiola (Chicago Bears), was a Kehaka but he was also a Kamehameha Warrior. So that makes it all "G" for me! Speaking of which, Ho'omaika'i Warriors!! on the win last night over Kahuku! Both teams played great football! I only hope that both their mana (power) will carry over to the UH Warriors and get that Kehaka off their back!

I'll try to update the game via the  Hawai'i Football Fanatics Facebook Fan page and/or Twitter (@aweau). Hawai'i Football Fanatics will also continue to support University of Hawai'i Warrior Football (@hawaiiathletics) by providing today's gameday information through fellow blogger, TomboAhi's blog (@tomboahi). See his links to live Warriors game action on television, internet and radio. He also has a pre-game analysis on his web site. Gametime is at 6:30p HST. The game is also being televised at 8:30 PM PST in Portland (ESPN2 36) and Seattle (ESPN2 32)

Imua Warriors! and spear the heck out of the Badgers like this mean buggah!!

This game is a toss-up as both teams have a contingent of Polynesian players. Eagles are attempting to get a wild-card spot in the playoffs and the Bears are playing to avoid any more losses to squeeze into the game too. Cowboys avoided a loss today (barely with a 1 pt win), so they lead the division, but Philly still has a chance with a win over the Bears. I’m rooting along with the rest of my ‘ohana though for the Eagles on this one (since we lived in Philly). Go Eagles!!!

As of the past few weeks, all the Philly Polynesians on the Eagles squad are still nursing injuries or relegated to the practice squad. Fenuki Tupou is on injured reserve. Marcus Mailei and Paul Fanaika are hoping to see game time tonight.

Due to time constraints (have to go see my cousin, Kupono, of “So You Think You Can Dance” fame, return to Hawai’i), I’ll have to place a link for the Bears Polynesian/Islander contingent. I apologize for that, I got too engrossed in watching the Cowboys/Redskins, Colts/Ravens and Steelers/Chiefs matchups. What a shocker in the Steelers/Chiefs game!
