Hawaii vs Boise State PreGame

Here's some stuff to read and view as we approach kickoff. I'll be adding more and more to this post as I catch up with stuff I missed during Turkey Day. Just wanted to thank Chawan Cut for posting his uploads when I was away. He's a crazy Warrior fan, and we'll have a few of his creations to post this weekend. Anyway, without further ado, pregame stuffs:

Here's an awesome profile of UH graduate assistant Brian Kajiyama, from CSTV.



Orlando from UHWarriorFan.com has a bunch of new photos from this week's practices (as well as many previous practices) up in his 2007 Practice Pics Gallery.



Tim Scott of the Vallejo Times Herald profiles UH safety and Vallejo native Desmond Thomas.

Thomas' road from Vallejo to Hawaii reaches a crescendo, so far, today. Just like it has for the Warriors. Thomas said the Hawaii defense has been getting ready for the multiple shifting that the Boise offense employs.

"We're focused. There's a tenacity, just hunger ready for (today)," Thomas said. "Everybody knows, even the scout guys. ... We came this far, we've got to go all the way."

Here's an AP article from Jaymes Song previewing today's game.

"If we wanted to win the WAC, we knew we had to beat Boise and that's where we're at," Hawaii coach June Jones said. "They do a great job executing. They're good in all phases of the game and we're going to have to play our best game to beat them."

Stephen Tsai had an article yesterday about how June Jones is keeping his cool in the face of the hype. Also in the article, Keenan Jones talks about returning kickoffs, and Fale Laeli says he's good to go.

Dave Reardon had an article with Kealoha Pilares saying his knee is a lot better, along with other injury updates.

Dave Reardon had a few words from Colt Brennan and June Jones about the big game.

The Star-Bulletin had two articles about Aloha Stadium having a zero-tolerance policy against hooligans, and details about traffic control measures.

Dave Reardon wrote how Boise QB Taylor Tharp was almost a Warrior.

For an unmitigated Boise fan who likes dogging UH, Zagco has a pretty good and even-handed preview of the game, analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of both teams. Of course, he picks the Broncos to win. Actually, a lot of writers are picking Boise to win. But they just don't know!

Paul Arnett had a column taking a look at today's game.

And Ferd Lewis gave thanks.
