Heroes / Samson / Herman / New Look

Bob Hogue writes about his heroes in Midweek.

Colt Brennan is my hero three times over. First, for the way he played quarterback this past season in setting all kinds of passing records for the Warriors. Second, when he announced that he was coming back to the University of Hawaii instead of turning pro. And third, when he took on the powers-that-be and voiced his opinions about the declining state of the UH athletic facilities.

Hogue also admires Ikaika Alama-Francis and Samson Satele.

Speaking of Samson, he gets a mention in an AFC East rundown of Foxsports.com.

Hawaii center Samson Satele in the second round was an excellent pick, giving the Dolphins a guy who can play either center or guard; unfortunately, they could use both, which is why there's talk of acquiring disgruntled Jets guard Pete Kendall. It would be a smart move, with the Dolphins currently penciling in the untested Dan Stevenson as their starting right guard.

KGMB's Steve Uyehara talks to Herman Frazier regarding his upcoming informational briefing.

"Every dean, director from every college in this university will tell you they need more money," Frazier said. "I would tell you that people from K-12 in the elementary schools in here need more money. There's so many things from a facility standpoint in this state that need to be addressed."

Frazier admits Monday's special hearing was probably sparked by Colt's comments and the incomplete football schedule.

"Because of the exposure that you guys give us, we're on the front page and we're leading off your news stories, people want to pick on us to lead the story," he said. "But that's okay. We'll carry the flag and we'll be there prepared to go."

Frazier says he plans to give the committee any and all the information that they want.

And finally, I'm trying out a somewhat different look to the blog. I made it three columns so I can have more space to put stuff in the future, like more links, categories, rosters, etc. Except now... I think it looks more cluttered. Oh well, I've put in too much work to turn back now. Maybe I just gotta mess with the font or something. If there's any design people out there, any tips would be appreciated!
