Pigskin Pigout, Graunke, Haʻa, Etc.

Note: I'm going to Vegas to win enough money to buy June Jones' Harley, so I won't be around the computer too much until Sunday or Monday. In the meantime, Chawan Cut should be posting his compilations and other news when he has a chance. Thanks to CC and thanks to everyone for visiting.

CC has a compilation with news from KGMB, KHON, KFVE and KITVE about Tyler Graunke's reinstatement, Murphy's Pigskin Pigout, injuries to Brent Rausch and David Farmer, an abbreviated profile of the offensive line, etc.



Jason Kaneshiro writes about Tyler Graunke's reinstatement.

"I'm happy for Tyler because he gets to compete his senior year," Hawaii head coach Greg McMackin said last night.

Stephen Tsai writes about Graunke, yesterday's practice, the battle at the left tackle spot, injuries to David Farmer and Joey Cadiz, and the unveiling of a new haʻa.

Two of safety Keao Monteilh's friends, Aka and Keala, offered late-night lessons to the players.

"They went to Hawaiian immersion (schools) since they were small," Monteilh said.

This ha'a is more dramatic than the one the Warriors performed last year.

Monteilh said this ha'a is about Kuali'i, a Hawaiian chief.

"The reason he would always win was because he would psych up his warriors," Monteilh said. "They taught it to us because we're the Warriors."

Jason Kaneshiro recaps yesterday's practice.

"The defense did well, we just kind of struggled," offensive coordinator Ron Lee said. "It's good because this is game-type stuff."

Lee said the offense's struggles weren't solely the quarterbacks' responsibility and saw some bright spots as the offense pieced together two scoring drives at the end of practice, but consistency in execution remains a focal point for the offense.

And Kaneshiro has a Sports Notebook with some injury news and a reminder that the kickoff rally that was supposed to be held at Tamarind Park today has been cancelled.
