Returning Home

I hate to link to the Warrior Beat these days because a spam blog called "General Sports Blog" reprints whatever I post and then posts trackback spam in Tsai's comments. But Tsai has a lot of news this past week, so.... sorry about the spam. Damn you General Sports Blog!

"The Beast" is transferring to UH.

We're proud of all of Hawai‘i's Sons — the ones who stay or go away — but we have special appreciation for defensive tackle Ryan "The Beast" Eastman because we consider him to be part of our blog family.

According to proud papa Bulla, The Beast has secured a release from Weber State and is ready to compete for the Warriors. There's paperwork to be filled and a tryout to attend, but we're hopeful he will successfully fulfill his dream of playing for the hometown team.

Tsai wrote that Malcolm Lane is all set to rejoin the Warriors. Tsai also pays tribute to the hard-working Jon Medeiros in that post.

And Marquez Jackson is likely returning to the UH football team. Not sure how many years of eligibility he has.

Remember Marquez Jackson?

He said he is registered for the spring semester and hopeful of competing with the Warriors. Jackson originally enrolled at UH as a slotback. He then left to play for the Rainbow Warrior basketball team. And then he left UH.

Jackson said he is focused solely on football.

...Chawan Cut suggested using a URL shortener for the links, so hopefully that works.
