No Game Today, But We’re Still Talking
I don’t remember a UH team being so… appealing to its fans. There’s just something above and beyond their athletic talent. I think the viscidity of this team is probably the one thing that endears them the most! They’ve got this whole mutual-support and admiration thing going on.
While Colt has certainly developed a little fan club at my house, as well as across the State of Hawaii, I have recently brought more of the Warriors into my own little admiration radar. See, most normal people and sports fans look at stats, I look at off-the-wall things and who the people are that stand behind those stats. (I never said I was normal.) I have to give June Jones credit for doing a little bit of the same… in a way. I think the Coach is looking for talent, heart and real people.
In addition to Colt, I need to add the following to my list of admired team members (for a variety of reasons):
- Ryan Grice-Mullins Grice-Mullen
- Davone Bess
- Dan Kelly
- Jason Rivers
- C.J. Hawthorne
I know I need to add to this list but I can’t always remember the names of the ones that cause a blip on my internal radar. This is my on-going project. I’m working on it! 
The game last weekend was a scary one! It was rainy and muddy but they still managed to pull it off with a 42 to 35 win over San Jose State! Coach Jones commented on a news interview after the game that it was surprising to see a field like that at a Division 1 school. Apparently the San Jose State players were used to it because their uniforms were nowhere near as slopped up as those of the Warriors.
Little tidbits I found interesting:
- Colt has now achieved 125 touchdowns and has officially broken Ty Detmer’s record
- The 7 - 0 record the Warriors now hold is theirs for the first time since 1981
- Colt passed the ball 75 times in the game and this was a school record
One of the ESPN News casters said, “Even when he’s down, this Colt is kicking.” Nice analogy. I’ll just call him the comeback quarterback. Sloppy mud is hard to run in, never mind trying to hold on to a football! That had to be difficult for both the quarterback and his receivers! Sheesh! It was a good game with an exciting finish! Nice job guys!
Make good use of the weekend off — you’ve earned it but you’ve still got a ways to go! Next week is Home Coming! The last alert I saw was that there were less than 4,000 seats left. Woo hoo! This is gonna be a good one with a lot of fan support! Count on it! You can count on us all to keep talking too!
