Hawaii Wahine Football Clinic, Sugar Bowl List
Heather and Greg McMackin will be hosting a football clinic for women on Thursday, August 21st at 7pm. UPDATE: The clinic has been moved to August 19th.
The clinic is open to women interested in learning the basic offensive and defensive tactics of football. Participants will also have an opportunity to meet the UH coaching staff. The cost is $10 which includes refreshments, snacks, and a football manual. For those interested in attending, call the Football Office at (808) 956-6508.Dave Reardon writes that the Hawaii State Ethics Commission is asking UH for info regarding the people in the UH delegation who traveled to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl.
At issue is whether people not serving a function for the state went at UH, and hence, state expense, which is against Hawaii law.
The UH athletic department released on May 23 a partial list of people who traveled free to the event in New Orleans. Forty-five names of the 550 provided were blacked out due to union concerns, school officials said.
Commission Executive Director Daniel Mollway wants the complete list to help determine whether any laws were broken, specifically the Hawaii State Ethics Code (HRS 84).

I like Reardon and trust his reporting and integrity.
I don't like his apparent boss, Arnett--he wrote a couple weeks ago saying "who cares" about the Advertisers legal position in trying to get the UH to fully disclose a list of those who went to the Sugar Bowl on state money.
Arnett has always backed up Frazier and anything else that was not correct--and usually Frazier was often wrong and I guess that means Arnett would also be normally wrong. Is he too old to understand how everyone else really feels?
Can you imagine that he attempted to ridicule the Advertiser by making fun of them being a Platinum sponsor (the highest level of sponsorship) of UH Athletics suing the UH for information? I think it is great that the Advertiser is a major sponsor and has the integrity to follow up on any wrongdoings.
Note that the Star-Bulletin is not a sponsor of UH Athletics at any level--is Arnett proud of that?

Thats why tutu say, stay home watch suga bowl and get no trouble. See what happen to the 45 out of 550 lolo's who went which may indeed might of went against Hawaii's ethics law? Shame shame on you bruddah's or is it sistah's?
Thats why they says "again", if you can't pay for it, don't hurt yourself going over there. Its only a game. Unless your mate partner made a deal for you if you went and came back, she would give you sum. haha. In any case, lolo is a lolo..no need going direction of mahoo's.

Because you are football fans, consider getting a copy of my book called "Game-Day Goddess: Learning Football's Lingo." It's available on Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com. It's informative, amusing, and let's you learn about football painlessly.
