Catching Up with Colt / CSTV Previews

Saw this on Sportshawaii.com -- Colt Brennan is doing a weekly column at NFLDraftPro.com called "Catching Up With Colt." Here's an excerpt from his first entry on July 28th.

One thing I love to do in my down time is play video games. I play a lot of NCAA Football 2008; it’s a great game. The game was cool the first year I was in it [2005], but the one thing I was really upset about is that they made me really crappy. I led the nation in passing. I had like 68-percent completion and they still made me really bad in the game. I never really played with Hawaii in the game, because they made me a bad quarterback, but I was good. But this year they gave me a 97 [overall rating] in the game, so now I play myself and Hawaii everyday.

And an excerpt from his second entry.

This week has been interesting. I had a guy from the New York Times come out to Hawaii and he’s been following me all week long, so that’s been pretty cool. I understand where I am in this thing and I know that there will be media coverage all season long. I am ready for it and the way I look at it is that any exposure for our team is good exposure. Personally, I just try to embrace the attention, because for the most part it’s very positive.

The columns are pretty long and full of insight. Can't wait to read his entries from camp.

CSTV.com has a feature on the Warriors offense, focusing on Colt and the receivers.

Junior Davone Bess is the leader of the bunch. He's coming off a season where he posted 96 receptions for 1,220 yards and 15 touchdowns. As his numbers show, he's a constant big-play threat who Jones calls the most explosive player on the team.

He also seems to have a good head on his shoulders. While having a big ego is almost a requirement for a No. 1 wide receiver, he certainly doesn't put one on display. When I asked him to talk about himself he deflected to the team.

"I don't really try to go for the individual goals," he said. "As long as the team goals are met, the individual goals will take care of themselves. As a team, hopefully we're fortunate enough to win the WAC and get a BCS bid."

CSTV also has a WAC preview.

There's little doubt that Brennan will put up Heisman-worthy numbers, but if he hopes to be invited to New York, an undefeated season is all but required. Most of the national media is obsessed with the trick plays and marriage proposals - not to ignore the good football - at Boise State, but the local writers picked Hawaii to win, and if Hawaii can beat the Broncos for the first time since both teams joined the WAC, the Warriors could be this year's Boise.
