Samson Gets Invited

From Stephen Tsai, Samson Satele has been invited to the East-West Shrine Game.

"We heard he's a very good player and a very good person," said William Homer, the game's director of player personnel.

...

"(UH) coach (June) Jones has been really helpful," Homer said. "Hawai'i has a good program. We like to have guys from Hawai'i. We think Samson is very deserving. The bottom line is he's a very good player."

The game will be played Jan. 20, 2007, at Reliant Stadium. In previous years, the game was played in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Satele, defensive end Ikaika Alama-Francis, free safety Leonard Peters, and offensive tackles Dane Uperesa and Tala Esera are on the "watch list" for the Senior Bowl.

The Emperor, The S-King, whatever his nickname may be, Samson going pound you!
