UH's third-quarter woes traced to turnovers

Greg McMackin realizes something may be awry when his team is outscored 86-19 in the third quarters of its 10 games. "We ran a study on that," the Hawaii football coach said yesterday. "We have to do a better job."


Wie should think about bringing the trophy home

The last time I wrote about Michelle Wie, I labeled her a choker. It didn't sit well with many of you, but when a professional golfer loses from ahead the way she did at the SBS Open it's a fair description — especially after all the previous hype and meltdowns since she turned pro four years ago.


San Jose State's Tomey shows impeccable timing

The University of Hawaii football team's job just got a little bit harder. Make that a lot harder. It's bad enough for the Warriors that Greg Salas left Aloha Stadium on crutches the other night with a hurtin' right foot.


UH sets stage for another improbable late-season run

We now enter the world of precedent. What was five in a row is now merely three in a row. Three in a row, like the Yankees did in the World Series after losing the first game.

KHON's Veneri ready to go behind the scenes

Go Johnny Go! ... But, wait, not so fast. John Veneri -- a KHON sports fixture the past 15 years as reporter, weekend anchor and star of the Go Johnny Go challenge-the-jock feature -- is phasing into a new role as the station's marketing and promotions director.


UH gets confidence boost

What would life be without replay? A lot less painful at times, of course. I'm reminded of Ontario, Calif., 2003: the University of Hawaii football team between mainland games at USC and UNLV.


Old-school running game keyed UH's feel-good win

Praying for the power-I? Did the halftime ceremony honoring Tommy K have you hoping for the single wing?


UH's 2-6 mark makes a win tonight a must

Never thought I'd hear the words "must win" in the same sentence as "Utah State." Used to be "guaranz win." And it was not that long ago, it just seems like it.
