Aloha Stadium for UH?

Please check out this quote from gubernatorial candidate, Neil Abercrombie in a post from fellow blogger, Dave Reardon, as he follows the University of Hawai’i Warriors Spring Practices throughout the islands. After reading Abercrombie’s comment, all the more reason to vote for him as the next Governor of Hawai’i!!!

Athletic director Jim Donovan and gubernatorial candidate Neil Abercrombie were in attendance. Kauai mayor Bernard Carvalho (a former UH offensive lineman who was instrumental in making the event happen) also attended.

“I told my good friend Jim Donovan to just get the team here and we’d take care of the rest,” said Carvalho, who started on the same UH offensive line with Donovan 30 years ago.

Abercrombie said that if elected he wants to “turn Aloha Stadium over to UH” and possibly relocate the stadium.

“If you’re going to be Division I, be Division I,” Abercrombie said.

Hiki no ho’i, Abercrombie!

Not much to be said but . . . Wait for it . . . GO EAGLES!!!

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).
