Happy 2007!

Hope you haven't broken any of your resolutions already.

I hope Herman Frazier's New Years resolutions are to get June Jones signed to a 20-year contract and to schedule some great teams for next year, and beyond!

I hope Colt Brennan's resolution is to come back to UH to win a WAC championship and attain the mythical undefeated season the hairy oracle prophesied all those years ago.

I hope Jerry Glanville's resolution is to return to UH with his big bag and help the Warrior defense to hit just as ferociously as it did this year while improving even more!

I hope the resolution of the entire Warrior coaching staff is to come back, though I know Mouse Davis may be retiring. If so, I hope Mouse's resolution is to play lots of golf in Hawaii and be a Mousefather consultant that June can ring up any time for some advice and/or tee times.

I hope the resolutions for all the returning UH players is to train hard, study harder and come back in the fall a force to be reckoned with, striking fear into the hearts of opposing coaches and players (whoever they may be) throughout the land!

You always hope the next year will be better, and I think it will be, but I definitely don't want to take the 2006 season for granted because a season like this doesn't come around often and will not be easy to surpass. The Honolulu Advertiser named the 2006 Warriors as their sports story of the year, with Colt Brennan as their sportsperson of the year. Take another look at the accomplishments in this giant blockquote.

But excitement surrounding Brennan and UH football — whether it was at Aloha Stadium, in sports bars, or at homes with pay-per-view — covered 14 games, and dominated daily talk radio and Internet blogs.

Brennan's accomplishments were mind-boggling.

He finished sixth in the Heisman Trophy balloting. He won the Sammy Baugh Trophy as college football's best passing quarterback. He earned All-America second-team honors from College Football News, third team by The Associated Press, and was a finalist for the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award.

Brennan's statistics were off the charts.

He set NCAA single-season records for touchdown passes with 58 and for passing efficiency (185.96). Passing efficiency factors yards, touchdowns, completion percentage and interceptions — one of the best indicators of a quarterback's success.

"That means Colt had the best season (for a quarterback) in (NCAA) history," Jones said. "It takes into account everything. Unbelievable."

"To set the (efficiency) record is awesome," Brennan said. "I have to thank my teammates for being so good. And to coach Jones and to (quarterback) coach (Dan) Morrison and all of the coaches as well."

Brennan also finished No. 1 in the NCAA in other statistical categories, including passing yards and total offense.

Another remarkable statistic: Brennan accomplished all this while not playing the fourth quarter in six blowout victories.

Led by Brennan, UH also established numerous records, including an NCAA mark for most points in a season (657, 46.9 points a game), a school-record nine-game winning streak and a school-record-tying 11 victories while making Jones the winningest UH football coach (64 wins).

It fulfilled a preseason prediction by center Samson Satele, who said, "We'll be scoring at least five touchdowns a game; that's what I think."
