More Banquet

Stephen Tsai liveblogged last night's UH football banquet. Here's an excerpt:

Jones is announcing the offensive MVPs. Colt Brennan and Nate Ilaoa are announced together.
"I want to thank Nate Ilaoa, my roommate, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be standing next to him right now," Brennan says.
Ilaoa thanks Brennan "for giving me the ball," and thanks the fans.
Jones is introducing Ikaika Alama-Francis. Jones says he knew from Alama-Francis' first pass rush in practice that he "would one day be an unbelievable pass rusher." Jones says Alama-Francis weighed 205 when he moved from the basketball team.
Jones says the other devensive MVP, Melila Purcell III, weighed 208 as a freshman. Jones says Purcell and his family "have been an absolute joy to have here."
"We both want to thank everybody. This is a special moment for everyody. Thank you coach Jones for believing in 205-pound basketball player," Alama-Francis says.
"I guess Ikaika said thank you to everybody I was supposed to say thank you to," Purcell says, then thanks the fans.
Jones says Timo Paepule, the special teams MVP, "does it perfectly." Jones says Paepule looks a little like Henry Kapono. Teammates chant "Ti-mo...Ti-mo" as he walks to the stage.
Paepule thanks the other special team players, then adds: "Mom and dad, I love you, too."
