New Era Bowl / Reminders

From the UH Athletics Dept., we find out which UH alumni will be playing in Japan for the New Era Bowl on July 8th.

UH assistant coaches Jeff Reinebold (defense) and Wes Suan (offense) head the White staff. The squad features Kila Kamakawiwo`ole (2002-05), Lono Manners (2002-05) and Hyrum Peters (2000-03) on defense, while Derek Faavi (2002-05), Kainoa Akina (2003-05) and Jeremiah Cockheran (2002-03) suit up on offense. All six athletes will be player-coaches. They will serve as coaches during a week of practice leading up to the game and then participate in the contest on game day.

Some great players right there.

And just a reminder, June Jones and the Magic Temple, a benefit for Na Koa, is being held tonight. Not sure if tickets are still available. Let's hope June slays that dragon.



I believe DVDs of the show will be sold sometime afterwards. Right on.

And finally, Nick Rolovich will be starting for the Las Vegas Gladiators in a matchup against the Los Angeles Avengers this Sunday. You can watch it on FSN.
