Liveblogs, Warrior QBs for Charity, Miller

A little behind today. Here are the liveblogs, which are no longer live.

UH Sports Extra. Excerpt:

7:56 a.m.: Backup OL Raphael Ieru is apparently injured. He’s on the side, walking up and down the hill.

8:01 a.m.: Jake Santos and Kiran Kepoo are the scout team QBs.

8:08 a.m.: Mario Cox is back from his hamstring and getting some reps with the 1s.

The Warrior Beat. Excerpt:

7:19 a.m. — Scout teams have been formed. The scouts are wearing yellow jerseys.
Ryan Perry and Spencer Smith are on the scout team.

The post also has an injury update on John Fonoti, a short recap of the Warrior Quarterbacks for Charity event last night, and the bio of some foolio!

Back to Reardon's blog, he also has a recap of the charity event.

We are told it was an extremely touching moment when a 91-year-old former UH football player — a member of the 1941 team — finally received his letter tonight, 66 years later.

Great story.

Reardon also has a post about J. David Miller, the author of the other Warriors football book, with his response to the whole Sample controversy. Here's part of what he writes:

To compare Ian Sample’s book to Hawaii Football: A Story of Faith, Hope and Redemption is unfair; we’re not using relying on half-truths, allegations or accusations to sell books. Our book is about faith, hope and redemption, and how one man – June Jones – took a program that was on the verge of extinction and turned it into a Top 20 program with a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate. Our project wasn’t based on a single person’s perspective; or a single season – to the contrary, it’s a nine-year slice of Hawaii football that nobody has seen, read or heard before.

A book I've been looking forward to reading. Visit Warriors' Haka for more details.
