Visit from Marvin

In today's Advertiser blog post, Stephen Tsai talks about boxer Marvelous Marvin Hagler visiting the Warriors after practice to give a pep talk. Here's what he had to say:

“I told them to stay tough, man,” said Hagler, who now lives in Italy. “That’s the secret of success.”

Hagler, still looking in fighting shape, and Rich Miano, UH’s defensive secondary coach, were childhood buddies.

“He’s a really good friend,” Hagler said of Miano.

That's cool. Seems like the UH coaching staff knows everybody. Here's Colt Brennan's reaction, which I found kinda funny:

“You see these guys on ESPN Classic, and you wonder what they’re doing now. It’s nice to see the guy’s out and about and doing really well with life. It was cool to meet him.”

Speaking of Colt, he was named to another pre-season watch list.

Warrior quarterback Colt Brennan is one of 35 "players to watch" for the Walter Camp Football Foundation's prestigious Player of the Year award, the nation's fourth-oldest individual college football accolade.
