From the Blogs: Washington Chat, Super Games

Stephen Tsai has some news and notes today, and will host a chat with Mike Washington at about 3pm HST. Tsai also has news about two walk-ons:

Two newcomers are really making an impression.
Les Soloai, who was raised in Australia, appears to be a natural fit at defensive end. Soloai has never played organized football. He was a member of the Brigham Young-Hawai‘i basketball team in the fall. He transferred to UH in January.
Quinton Beaver, a former Kahuku High standout, also has drawn raves because of his strength. He has not maxed on his bench press, but regularly lifts — with ease – 405 pounds. He's projected to compete at defensive tackle. Beaver spent the past two years on a church mission in Boston.

Dave Reardon has a Super Games tally at UH Sports Extra.

Defensive line coach Dave Aranda is tracking the leaderboard:

1. Section 8 (captain Adam Leonard)
2. Gladiators (captain Keala Watson)
3. Team 808 (captain Keao Monteilh)

Tomorrow’s event is good old-fashioned tug of war.

Man, be careful. Don't wanna be reading about another one of those gruesome tug-of-war accidents. And that's one of the more milder ones. Sure, those accidents happened with a lot more people involved, but these are no ordinary human beings we're dealing with!
