UH Walk-On Tryouts
Jan 22nd
Got wind of yesterday’s UH Walk-On Tryouts from fellow blogger, TomboAhi, at the UH Football Fan Blog. Good luck to all the participants! They all have a chance to become a Warrior and hopefully will be invited back for spring training. Results from the tryouts should be publicized in a few days. Check out TomboAhi’s featured post, UH Walk-On Tryouts, on those who tried out for 15 roster spots.

The Big Kehaka (Badger)! UH Gameday: Wisconsin Badgers
Dec 5th
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)

Pau Hana Football Friday
Nov 27th
Interesting finds while browsing the worldwide internet. I had more time this holiday as I'm off till Monday. Here's a couple of updates for Hawai'i Football Fanatics readers. A little bit of Polynesia for Polynesian players on Thanksgiving in Cincy, recent player signings and a link to mix up things in Honolulu to cheer on your favorite team with other like-minded individuals,
Thanksgiving Dinner Ethnic-Style
Thanksgiving is a special holiday for everyone and its uniqueness is in displayed in their food fare. Bengals, Domata Peko, and teammates shared their ideas of how to partake and celebrate their Thanksgiving meals.
Recent Signings
Good news for ex-Warrior fan favorite, Ikaika Alama-Francis, who signed with the Miami Dolphins. See an in-depth look from fellow blogger, Tombo Ahi on Ikaika's move to join ex-Warrior teammate, Davone Bess. Paul Fanaika also joins ex-Warrior, Colt Brennan, and fellow Polynesian, Mike Sellers, who is having some great games lately.
Ikaika Alama- Francis
I'll be the first ot admit that I was upset when Ikaika was waived from Detroit this season. He's a great player and just hadn't had an opportunity to showcase his talent. Maybe now in Miami he'll be able to do so. I'm just hoping Dom (Dominic Raiola) will be able to be traded too as he's taken his share of licks from Detroit fans.
Palm Beach Sports in Florida reported the following on the signing:
Former Lions DE signed: The Dolphins signed former Detroit defensive end Ikaika Alama-Francis, but hope he doesn't bring with him any of the Lions' mojo.
Alama-Francis started two games and played in 13 for last year's 0-16 Lions, the first team in NFL history to lose 16 games. The Lions cut him before the regular season started, but Alama-Francis said he has kept in shape and is ready to contribute.
"It was a lot of losing and it didn't feel good," he said of his time in Detroit.
The Dolphins needed him mostly as insurance after they lost starting nose tackle Jason Ferguson for the season with a quadriceps injury. Alama-Francis played defensive end and nose tackle for the Lions, and played significantly at nose tackle in college at Hawaii, where he was a teammate of Dolphins receiver Davone Bess.
Paul Fanaika
Polynesian and ASU fans will also rejoice that Paul Fanaika may finally get to start soon. Unfortunately, he is playing against his former (practice squad) and my favorite team, the Philadelphia Eagles, this weekend. Hmmm, makes you think about the timing of this trade. They probably wanted the inside "scoops" to the Philadelphia gameplan. Congratulations! Paul!

Football Hangouts
This might be a slightly dated article (Sep. 2008) by Tracy Chan but it sums up most of the sports bars in Honolulu that you can venture to in case you have "cabin fever" and need to get away. Sometimes it's good to get away. Oops! Sounds like an airline commercial. Anyway, I digress.
I love these Metromix Honolulu articles. Especially, those by fellow blogger and friend, Melissa Chang (she's the one that makes us drool all the time with her local food specials). Check her it out at her Urban Mix Plate Blog!
Remember also, please don't drink, if you drive or call someone for a pickup. Be safe this weekend and look out for each other.
