• The Black Flag flies high

  "I need this program as much as the kids do," he confessed. His staff is small, each coach responsible for at least two positions. They began as men of hope, learning x's and o's along the way. Priority one remains the same.

  This is a true pick-'em game. My hunch is with the more experienced quarterback, Rustin Funakoshi, and the X Factor, tight end David Rivers.
  
  
• Eselu flies with Ducks
  11/18/06
  Eselu's athleticism is a big plus for Oregon, which has relied on slotbacks but is venturing into more sets with bigger pass-catchers for mismatches.
  
  
• Prehistoric offense rules, at least in OIA
  11/12/06
  For fans of hard-hitting, snot-propelling defensive football, yesterday's doubleheader at Aloha Stadium was worthy of preserving on DVR/DVD for life. We all may be spoiled by June Jones' Laboratory on Turf, but somehow, yesterday's OIA games remained compelling. I just wonder how far smashmouth football can go in the state tournament.

  Would the Waveriders dare overlook the Cougars? Possibly. Even at the pro and college levels, teams can become complacent.
  
  
• 'I do'

• Showtime, cross country and missing football stats
  11/07/06
  So there I was, with my sturdy fold-out chair from Costco ($20 and it has yet to break on me like the $7 special from Wal-Mart), with a few scattered fans ... just wondering what was up.
  
  
• Minutes to kickoff
  11/06/06
  Soon, 9:30 arrives and I flick back to K5. Yes, informercial, I was go along with your unwelcome intrusion into my sacred world of UH football (and basketball) worship. Until the game kicks off at 10, I will smile inside and tolerate your cheesy, capitalist overtures. Actually, I don't even know what you're selling and I only turn to Channel 5 because of some bizarre thought that maybe there will be a pre-game show (never happens with UH football) or that, perhaps somewhere in my "early" morning mind that the channel needs to be up on the air and functioning so I can feel a sense of peace.

  "The Mules need a few breaks from officials, who normally let a lot of extra physical stuff go in the post-season. If the officials are going to call a lot of stuff in the secondary for contact, Leilehua has a good shot."
