Brett Leonard Injured, UH Prediction, Masch, Etc.

Stephen Tsai writes about Brett Leonard, who suffered a knee injury in yesterday's practice.

Leonard had an MRI yesterday. Early indications are that there is no significant damage, although Leonard is expected to miss at least a few practices.

Leonard was poised to be named the starting center when he was injured during a limited-contact drill.

Bronson Tiwanak is now elevated to starting center.

Bob Hogue predicts UH will have a winning season. He breaks down his prediction game by game.

Greg Moberly of The Union profiles UH defensive tackle Zach Masch.

Although he redshirted last year, Masch said there's nothing about the commitments of being a student-athlete that's easy. He still went to all the team's games, including road trips.

“Being a student-athlete is a full-time job,” said Masch. “People say it must be great to live in Hawaii and be able to go to the beach. But I don't have time to go to the beach.”

Russell Tolentino of Ka Leo O Hawaii writes that Greg McMackin needs to prove his worth.

And Ferd Lewis writes that wherever UH ends up, there will be travel subsidies.

Remember that controversial student athletic fee adopted by the University of Hawaii last month, the $1.85 million windfall designed to help the athletic department take a big step toward solvency?

Poof!

I'm hating Fresno and Reno more and more each day.
