It’s our annual Hawaiʻi football prediction show, which means Wayne and Sean go game-by-game through the season and officially put their guesses on record.
We talk Timmy Chang’s extension, Micah Alejado’s importance to the offense, the questions around the offensive line, and whether UH can build real momentum after last year’s Hawaii Bowl high.
We also break down the schedule, from Stanford and UNLV to North Dakota State, Nevada, UTEP, and the road games that always seem to come with some kind of UH football trauma.
Is this the worst conference UH has been in since they went D1?
No spoilers here — but we make our picks, debate the toss-ups & the traps, and ask whether this is finally the season Hawaiʻi turns optimism into something real.
This week, we follow up on last episode’s conversation about the increasingly religious tone around the UH football program and what that means for the team’s identity.
Then we shift to North Dakota State, a program that didn’t move up to the FBS just to be another average mid-major — not after winning 10 FCS national championships since 2011.
That leads us back to the bigger question: what is the actual goal of being a mid-major in today’s college football world? With NIL money harder to raise at our level, and Power 5 benchwarmers getting paid while mid-majors fight for scraps, the gap feels wider than ever.
And with no Group of Six schools in the preseason AP Top 25, it feels like another sign of the times.

The Boys dig into the Mountain West settlement and why UH’s payout appears to be a lot lighter than fans originally expected. (Which is what we said would happen.)
Instead of a major financial win, Hawaiʻi may be looking at less than half of the rumored number — another reminder that UH can’t afford to just sit back and hope the conference money saves them.
We also hit Mountain West Media Days, the Stanford opener, Micah Alejado’s preseason hype, and Timmy Chang finally getting his extension.
But the bigger question is still hanging over the whole episode: is UH using its limited money in the smartest way possible? Football gets the headlines, but in this new NIL world, maybe the championship path runs through Wahine Volleyball, men’s volleyball, baseball, or the sports where Hawaiʻi can actually become a national problem again.

Mountain West Media Days are here, but this year comes with a twist: no preseason poll, even as Hawaiʻi quarterback Micah Alejado was named the conference’s Preseason Offensive Player of the Year. We talk about Alejado’s rise, Timmy Chang’s long-awaited extension, and what the new season could mean for UH football.
Then we ask the uncomfortable question: what if Hawaiʻi took $1 million from football and gave it to Wahine Volleyball? UH may never reach the new $5 million revenue-sharing cap for mid-majors, and even if it did, football still feels far away from national-title contention — but with more investment, Wahine Volleyball could realistically chase championships every year like it used to.
We also get into how NIL was supposed to distribute TV money more fairly to players and coaches, but has instead turned into fans being asked to fund the gap.
Join the conversation @rainbowwrapup and come travel with us @hisportsfans and www.HIsportsfans.com.
University of Hawaiʻi athletics took an important step forward by securing new NIL funding, but the bigger question remains: is it enough to keep UH competitive in the modern college sports landscape? We break down what the funding means, why NIL support matters more than ever, and why Hawaiʻi still faces major challenges compared to bigger-budget programs. From recruiting and retention to travel, facilities, and conference positioning, we discuss what UH needs next if it wants to truly level up. Plus, we go team-by-team through every active UH program and catch you up on the latest around Mānoa athletics.

More tours just loaded at HIsportsfans.com...check it out Dodgers fans!
Hawaii Men’s Volleyball is chasing the biggest prize in the sport, and we ask whether this is the team that can finish the job and win it all. Along the way, we look at the success of the program’s jersey auctions, including the attention-grabbing “unwashed” twist, and why Hawaii should lean even harder into creative fan engagement. We also discuss Jordan Lucas and the national buzz he brought into Hawaii after turning heads last week. Championship pressure, smart marketing, and star power all collide in this episode. (And we beat the 13th Game drum for UH Football. Again.)
Hawaii hoops just got messy: Laura Beeman is walking away after 14 seasons, and Eran Ganot—on the last year of his deal—was handed another leash by the AD. The boys dig into what these moves mean for both programs.
Plus: UH men’s volleyball is rolling into postseason— is an NCAA berth all but guaranteed?

When it looked like the team had finally turned the corner, UH gets outplayed at SJSU, even coming off a restful bye week.
With so many Hawaii alum on the Sparty sideline, it's no surprise that even with a losing record, the home team would bring added emotion to the field. But, to give up over 400 yards in the first half alone was not what we expected. And then to show no urgency down two scores in the game's final minutes...
Where do we go from here? Thankfully, it's still the Mountain West. And the team is still guaranteed a bowl. But with San Diego State in town - the team with the best odds in the MW to advance to the CFP - a spot in the title game won't be nearly easy as it was a week ago.

The Tokyo Toe is everywhere these days, and UH Fans have a right to be excited to have a player garnering national acclaim. But after local politicians rallied to change the back of his jersey, from a romanized version of his name to the Kanji given to him at birth, it riled up one columnist in Hawaii, someone acclaimed in her own right.
Did Timmy just get his mentor fired? It appears that just moments after the 'Bows layeth the smacketh down on the Rams, the CSU AD delivered the people's elbow to Jay Norvell's tenure. Could Colorado State be targeting their old assistant coach? Yes, that one.

UH Athletics will align under the Mountain West banner with subsidies phasing out, which is a good thing. Yet despite having to foot some bills for the conference, the Big West had its advantages for UH.
The PAC-12 is also still looking for a member while the MWC is equally desperate to get to 8 full members; the pool of available schools shrinking everyday.
Certainly UH had a lot of leverage and was able to use it - and there is more security remaining FBS into the future now -- but was this the "best" outcome?
Come join us at a Big West game in the Spring! Make sure you leave your email at HIsportsfans.com and are following us on IG & X @hisportsfans @rainbowwrapup for more content and last-minute deals on our tours.

After letting another one slip, this time to the Aggies, UH closes out its home slate next week against UNLV. Can the Warriors pull out at least one more W in its final two games?
We share a heartwarming story of some visitors to our Islands who can now call themselves official Rainbow Fans after a choice encounter with some SuperFans at Saturday's game.
"Low Energy" is not the way you wanna describe a college football game, but games at TC Ching have fallen into that category, even compared to any other MWC school. How the lack of tailgating and basic necessities for fans - like a viewable scoreboard - are affecting the games on campus and keeping folks from coming back.
Come meet us in San Jose at the Hukilau Restaurant Friday 11/25, the night before the UH/SJSU game, for a fun, chill get-together and meet fellow die-hards.

With three games left in the season, can the #Braddahhood win at least one more, after getting shellacked by the Bulldogs?
HawaiiFB will have to average 15,000 fans through the turnstiles to maintain its Division 1 FBS status. But where will those additional fans come from?
The SuperFans - Wayne, Shane & Sean - discuss what the school needs to do right now to improve fan experience - and if that is even important to them - or stare down the real possibility of having to move down a Division or lose the program altogether.
Join us for the last UH road game at San Jose and see 49ers/Saints too! Enjoy tailgates, restaurant dining, private transportation and a hassle-free trip, just like the many who have come with us in the last 10 years.

Wyoming rode off with the Paniolo Trophy, defeating the 'Bows 27-20 on a sometimes very rainy night in Manoa.
But even the downpour couldn't dampen the spirits of our SuperFans, who all dressed up and dressed out for the Halloween festivities, with Shane & Wayne taking part in the 3-person costume contest.
Sean is back with his report card, and the guys wonder how the scoreboard managed to get even smaller at Ching Field.

The 'Bows drop another one to a conference foe on the last drive of the game, this time at Colorado State.
The Rams play in the new Canvas Stadium surrounded by ample parking and lots of tailgaters, something #HawaiiFB fans aren't used to seeing at home anymore.
Wayne talks about the "Thunder" game he played with his CSU fans before his 81st game-in-a-row, while Sean offers up his weekly report card.
We send love to Shane and his family this week as our Laulauhead tends to his Ohana.

HawaiiFB smacked the Nevada Wolf Pack at TC Ching as they pass the halfway point of the season, with six conference games to go in a historically weak Mountain West. Can the 'Bows - dare we say - contend for the title?
Wayne, Sean and Shane look back at their preseason predictions - one of the SuperFans is perfect so far - and see what kind of marks Sean gave on his report card (and who he's calling #HamiltonLibrary.)
We revisit the stadium discussion and talk about how UH can elevate the fan experience even before a new facility is built.

In the aftermath of Western Kentucky's 49-17 whipping, where do UH coaches go from here, and what can they do?
Balancing the loss of so many high profile players is a challenge already, but committing way too many penalties and turnovers is an issue that seems to be plaguing this team and coaching staff.
And where does the program go from here as more fans complain about conditions at TC Ching, expecting many of the same comforts they lost with Aloha Stadium's demise.
Without tailgating and so much more that make a college gameday, when does the program turn the corner? Particularly, since we've seen attendance drop way before the Chow era, even.
The SuperFans - Wayne, Shane & Sean - talk about what makes them the ultra fans they are, the DNA they share with this program and the generations that established this program, history that has been lost with so many changes with the program, history that some associated program don't appear to understand, either.

We also talk a new era of UH football, the "rules" fans need to follow at the games, and why the Rainbow logo must be incorporated just has much as the H logo: give us the throwback unis!

The boys look forward to Vandy and a special kickoff and live show the Thursday before the #HawaiiFB home opener.
With BYU pulling out of future games - and Power 5 conferences creating alliances with each other - Mid Major FBS football is becoming more irrelevant, especially now as the AAC powers officially become BIG XII members. Is UH better off at FCS?

Coach Chang has been all over campus as well, recruiting support for his squad all while embracing Local culture. Why Timmy winning off the field is even more important than what happens on the field in the Fall.

On Friday, January 21st, while the the University of Hawai‘i Football fan base waited for June Jones to officially be named head coach once again, unbeknownst to them, talks had soured between Jones and Athletics Director Dave Matlin, who offered the Legendary former coach only a 2-year contract plus limitations on who Jones could hire--Rich Miano being someone he was not allowed to bring onto staff.
The SuperFans - Wayne Coito, Shane "Laulauhead" Agno, and Sean Eyman - breakdown the next phase of the on-going saga, which only intensified when UH Spokesman Dan Meisenzahl held a press conference the next day where he called fans "pilau", called into question June Jones' character and near-tearfully defended his administration.

The saga that is the current state of the #HawaiiFB team got considerably more public when state senators convened after receiving numerous complaints about Head Coach Todd Graham and about the Athletic Department from non-football players as well.
After hearing heart-wrenching accounts given by former players, parents and very well-respected members of the Local community, University leaders chose to deflect instead of show sympathy to the many victims who stepped forward, saying that the senators had "cherry-picked" testimony.
The SuperFans - Shane "Laulauhead" Agno, Sean Eyman and, host, Wayne Coito - share what they believe should happen next as public sentiment toward the coach and the UH football program, in general, begins to sour.

A sad day for #HawaiiFB-- hometown product and first string QB Chevan Cordeiro has entered the Transfer Portal, sending shockwaves through the program.
Former UH players RJ Hollis & Darryl McBride Jr. created a Twitter Space shortly after - an audio forum similar to Zoom but native to the social medium - in which several current and former players aired grievances regarding head coach Todd Graham that were extremely revealing and even damning.
SuperFans Wayne Coito, Shane "Laulauhead" Agno and Sean Eyman highlight one of the most real, most raw discussions - one that went for three hours and included several UH administrators, players, alumni, fans, and media members listening in - surrounding this program ever.

Coming off a necessary win on Senior Night in front of another meager home crowd, #HawaiiFB now sets its sights on beating Wyoming in Laramie for a possible bowl invitation at 6-7.
Whether the 'Bows crack the postseason or not, the Athletic Department is still facing incredibly high deficits that could potentially kill the program if not for the continued and possibly increased financial assistance of the state legislature, as referenced in a TV news story on KHON.
The print media has also gotten more critical of the team, pointing at the hiring of Bo Graham as OC (which we talked about last week on the show before it came out). The Star Advertiser's Stephen Tsai also warned of the potential loss of Division I status and the potential for the school to "give it up" and/or move down to lower tier FCS.
SuperFans Wayne Coito, Sean Eyman and Shane "Laulauhead" Agno continue to tackle the major existential questions surrounding this program that the rest of the Local media is just beginning to talk about.

A SPECIAL guest joins us to talk about a player who could be the first to attain 1,000 yards Passing, Receiving, Rushing and Returning in College Football history.
Calvin's girlfriend, Alexis Ramis, who has been dating the star since freshman year at Jacksonville University, introduces us to the guy that will leave #HawaiiFB with quite the legacy, despite a short stint in the Warrior uniform.
Alexis talks about Calvin's humility, his versatility -- he actually started on Defense! -- his intelligence, earning academic scholarships to pay for his time at JU, where he majored in Engineering, and his laser focus, as he took advantage on a huge opportunity to show off his skills at UH, transitioning into a true NFL prospect.

The near two-year wait is over as #HawaiiFB can now welcome a full house of fans, albeit at much smaller Ching Field, capacity 9,000, far from the 50,000 seats at Aloha Stadium.
But is that necessarily a bad thing? How big is the fan base these days anyway?
Longtime Warrior Fan Aaron Montoya joins Wayne and Sean to discuss where the program is trending.
Wayne was among the 1,000 allowed into the UH/NMSU game and talks the venue, the Colt Brennan ceremony and why on-campus is likely the future for the Bows, for better or for worse.
We also talk about a big tour next week for those Titans fans in the 808 looking to see their team up close! We got the best seats on the vistiors tunnel at SoFi and are throwing in the AIR, ROOM, and GROUND Tranportation as well as the Club Seats!

Finally (some) fans will get to see #HawaiiFB live, but in the nearly two years since the last time we saw the team at home in-person, much damage has been done to a fan base that has already been hemorrhaging supporters for years now.
Wayne, Shane and Sean talk the state of the program-- why neglect, lack of vision, and inability to inspire new fans at leadership from the top down have contributed to the steady downfall of the fan base for many years now, even before Ige became the main target.
They guys also discuss why the New Aloha Stadium is positioned to fail now and in the future and why the 'Bows have a shot in Reno against the Wolf Pack.

HawaiiFB returned home to christen its new on-campus home at TC Ching Complex with a win over Portland State but with no fans in the stands to witness it.
Superfans Sean Eyman, Shane "Laulauhead" Agno and Wayne Coito discuss what it's like not getting "closure" with Aloha Stadium and, worse, not even getting to be in the first game at the new place. They boys discuss the affects on the program's long-term relationship with its fans and whether 15K might just be enough to hold everyone by the time fans are let back in.
Wayne is off to Corvallis to see the Bows and the Beavers on Saturday; what can the 'Bows do to win?
And why do UH fans really dislike Oregon State?
We discuss.
HawaiiFB plays its first home game on-campus, officially ending Aloha Stadium's long stint hosting Rainbow Warrior opponents since 1975. But, fans are still not yet allowed in to watch the team play even at Ching Field, continuing a streak of fanless home games since 2020.
Pandemic or not, this is bad for the growth of the fan base, something that has been neglected by State and University authorities for a while now.
Still, at least one UH fan managed to get his way into the stadium! We talk a little bit about his/her sneaking into the first ever game at TC Ching.

After a shellacking at the hands of the Bruins, UH superfans Wayne & Sean try their best to find some positive outcomes out of what was a really bad game for the Rainbow Warriors.
Wayne, who picked the Bows to upset UCLA, and Sean, who didn't, also look forward to Portland State, which should be a must-win game for Coach Graham, who used the word "embarrassing" to describe his team's play at the Rose Bowl.
Big12 looks to expand, narrowing down their list to UCF, BYU, Houston and Cincy. We look at what this means for the Mid Major landscape as a whole and the future of College Football in the era of NIL.
Washington State Coach Nick Rolovich is still in the news...what will happen next for the former #HawaiiFB QB who seems to be skirting the question as to whether he has been vaccinated yet or not.

SoFi Stadium finally holds an NFL game with fans, yet a fight in the stands makes more news on the internet.

One year since our interview with #ColtBrennan, former NFL and UH RB Reagan Maui'a joins the show to talk the need to name the #HawaiiFB on-campus "Colt Brennan Field" to properly honor his former teammate. Maui'a opens up about the mental challenges that face himself and his teammates and why it's important to "be real". He gets started around the 48:00 mark.
Beside naming the field, we look at how the school can most appropriately honor the Legend as it prepares to open up to only 9,000 fans on campus this year--University of Hawaii Athletics retiring the number 15 would go a long way.

On the eve of Baseball's Opening Day, we look at positive signs in California, as both the Dodgers and Angels finally welcome a limited amount of fans in.
LA and Orange County have moved into the less stringent orange tier as CA's covid numbers continue to drop drastically.
We hope to see more and more of our fans vaccinated to help the trend going into the Football season. More appointments are popping up! Be on the lookout no matter what age you are.
Commissioner Roger Goodell has said he expects the stands to be full again come this Fall...how possible is this?
We look at positive signs in Oregon and Nevada, where we will be leading #HawaiiFB tours to Oregon State and UNLV, in addition to our first tour to UCLA.
This show is dedicated to life of Mauricio "Mo" Fascio who parted from us this past Saturday morning.
Mo succumbed to the virus that has changed our lives forever. A frontline worker who affected change in the community, Mo is a reminder of how fortunate we are to get a vaccine when your opportunity comes. Sadly, he never got the chance.
Mo was one-of-a-kind, a mega sportsfan but also the most genuine and caring individual you could ever know.
We honor him tonight.
We look ahead to Fall and the being in the stands for games as LA begins to open up to fans starting next month.

University of Hawaii Director of Men's Basketball Operations, Jesse Nakanishi, joins us as the Rainbow Warriors fresh off their last practice before the they begin their postseason march at the Big West Tournament. The Local Boy from O'ahu also shares his journey from high school and college player to wanting to become a coach "at the highest level" as he says.
The Rainbow Wahine began the women's tournament with a big win over CSU Bakersfield, who held UH to its lowest scoring output of the season in the last meeting. This time, it's the team in Green walking off with the victory.
Hawaii News Now's Ian Scheuring joins to talk UH Football-- its issues with the Stadium Authority & a potential new facility, why the Pay Per View deal negatively affects the program, and why he sees the on-campus stadium as potentially the best solution for the Rainbow Warriors long-term.
And speaking of Hawaii Football, we'll finally announce our first tour of the season---to the Rose Bowl against UCLA! But that's not all, we've added - not one - but two Major League Baseball games into the mix AND an NFL game at SoFi Stadium, where fans will finally be let in.

Dr. Josh Albrektson, die-hard LA sports fan and multiple season ticket holder, was amongst the 7,500 healthcare workers invited to Super Bowl LV because of their work on the frontlines.
He talks about why the vaccine - what he calls one of the best vaccines ever created - is important to getting fans back in the stands, and why he believes receiving the vaccine will be a requirement, at least in California, for entry into sporting events.
He also shares some optimism as to when we can expect to see fans back in the fans in the Golden State, a state that Hawaii mirrors a lot with its policies--- it may be sooner than you think!

Wayne recalls one of the most emotional moments for a fan, what he's witnessed going to five super bowls and what he's even experienced for himself.

We're just days away from Hawaii vs Houston in the New Mexico Bowl. With the Rainbow Warriors having departed HNL this morning, we too are making preparations here at Hawaii Sports Fans to bring you game coverage directly from Texas, where we will be credentialed media for the game on Christmas Eve...so be sure to follow along everyday!
We begin tonight with a focus on the CBS Sports report that Boise State is in talks with the AAC to join as a football-only member. Given recent reports that the Broncos were exploring option for their non-Football teams, it was thought that perhaps the team might be looking to go Independent. Dennis Dodd's article dropped just hours ago details conversations that have been on-going between BSU and American Athletic Conference officials for several months behind the backs of the Broncos' Mountain West peers.
The University of Hawai‘i football season took another surprising turn this past week when the team was extended an invitation to play the Houston Cougars - "the other UH" - in the New Mexico Bowl. At the same time, we are seeing more UH players enter the NCAA transfer portal. We discuss the numbers game that coaches will be playing in the offseason-- how can they bring in new recruits while holding spots for the Seniors who have been granted another year of eligibility?
Longtime Honolulu Star Advertiser writer Cindy Luis - whose ancestors came from the same tiny village in Madeira, Portugal as Wayne's great-grandfather, we learned! - talks Rainbow Warrior volleyball - who look forward to competing in 2021 - and Rainbow Wahine volleyball - who deal with bitter disappointment of a season cancelled. We look at the ramifications of only have some sports play versus others and the optics involved in a sticky situation for universities who juggle student-athlete safety while trying to maintain important revenue streams for their schools.
In the most 2020 thing of the crazy 2020 season, the Rainbow Warriors use a tie-breaker against Fresno State and San Diego State to secure the Mountain West conference's fourth bowl berth and will face the "other UH", the Houston Cougars, in the New Mexico Bowl.
The game won't be able in Albuquerque due to COVID measures and will be held in Frisco, TX, site of the FCS Championship game, the Toyota Stadium.
You'll hear from HSF's Wayne Coito, who gives his first impressions of the upcoming game and shares why SDSU may have shot themselves in the foot by scheduling an extra game.
Life can be hard for a college football program that finds itself outside the exclusive Power 5 club. For schools like BYU, Boise and Hawaii, the chance to be a full-fledged member of the Elite has rarely been made available; only Utah & TCU have made the jump nearly a decade ago.
It seems like all three schools have something playing against them: BYU's religious affiliation, Boise's academic reputation and Hawaii's minuscule television market are just some of the excuses we've heard.
But who of the three is in the best position right now?
When it was revealed recently that Boise St. coach Bryan Harsin had been urging his school to leave the Mountain West and that his AD at BSU had inquired with the West Coast and Big West conferences - two non-football conferences - the rumor mill fired up again. But where would the Broncos go for football?
BYU went Independent in 2011, sending their non-football sports to the WCC and yet saw their rival Utes springboard way past them when it was Utah that received the PAC12 invite.
Indy might not be the best place for football, but is BYU the best-positioned mid major? How would Boise fare as an Independent? Is it better to be in a conference?
We discuss the infusion of billions of dollars into college football and how TV rights - illuminated by a Supreme Court decision in 1984 that challenged the NCAA monopoly - have changed the way we look at amateur sports and have blown up a crater of divide between the haves and the have-nots.

We talk to Fuchsia - a UNLV grad no-less - about what she calls the best day of her life. We also preview the big final game of the season for the both the University of Hawaii and UNLV, who is still seeking its first win and will be hungry in Honolulu.

University of Hawaii falls to 3-4 on the season, with one final game against UNLV at home looming. The Spartans lived up to the hype, taking home the Dick Tomey Memorial trophy.
We check in with Warrior Nation: Moku Thompson in Waianae and Jimmy Motz thousands of miles away in Nebraska. They discuss the offense, the coaching staff, Chevan Cordeiro and the progression of the new system under Coach Todd Graham.
From state accolades at Mililani High School to national acclaim at University of Central Florida, Quarterback McKenzie Milton added another moment to his incredible journey, announcing Thursday that he would be entering the transfer portal.
After suffering a gruesome injury in 2018 that threatened even amputation, the one that some are calling the greatest to ever play for the Black Knights has decided to move on from the program that has showered him with some unbelievable love, reppin the #10HANA, a marvel even for local people witnessing from back home in the Islands.
In our first ever show in this format, Wayne Coito is joined by hardcore fans - the "homies" - Moku Thompson, Sean Eyman and Ben Ayson, who keep it real on a topic that hits close to home, literally.
We discuss McKenzie's future, but we even pry deeper, discussing the detriments on the University of Hawaii when local talent leaves for the mainland and get real with why UH isn't competing for some of these athletes.

MAHALO!
He's visited 106 College Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) Stadiums, and he's not stopping until he's gotten to all 130; Mike Barker joins us to talk about his journey and one of his "secret-not-so-secret" favorite teams, the University of Hawaii, whom he's watched play home at Aloha Stadium and even on the road. He recently met up with the host, Wayne Coito, and his fellow UH SuperFans in Laramie, Wyoming, where the Rainbow Warriors took on the Cowboys. Upon the conclusion of the third quarter of the game, Mike started his 10-hour drive to Lawrence, Kansas, to see the Jayhawks play the very next morning--he's as fanatical as they come.
We also talk to Mike about his tweet earlier in the day calling out the UH Pay Per View deal that requires fans in the state to pay $70 to watch the game. He talks about how this "trash deal" is destroying the fan base and how any other fan from across the country would agree.
Wayne will also preview the game between UH and undefeated Nevada Reno this Saturday at Aloha Stadium. The nation's 4th leading passing attack features some familiar faces on the sideline, including former Hawaii record-setting QB Timmy Chang, now the Tight Ends coach at Reno. UNR Head Coach Jay Norvell served on UH Coach Todd Graham's staff when the two were at Arizona State.
We also check in with Warrior Nation and get the pulse of what's going on on Social Media. How do the fans really feel about Coach Graham after starting 2-3?
