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?

The goal post are safe in Manoa, the home team giving the nation's #17 all they could handle for three quarters plus. The Bows made their fan's think "we get chance", but now bowl chances are even slimmer. We talk about some interesting postgame comments by the HC and QB, before giving our thoughts about this week's opponent Washington St.

The Boys discuss the recent Civil Beat article "UH Football May Have A Problem Bigger Than Money"-- Neal Milner states, "Money talks. But culture sustains."

Wayne is honored by the Honolulu City Council for his 100-game streak and in an interview on ESPN 1420 revealed his plan for the goal post if UH upsets Boise Saturday. What does Waikiki Beach have to do with it? We're glad you asked.

The Boys relive a fun day in San Diego. From tailgating with our Road Warrior Ohana and the Sons of Montezuma to taking the party inside to Snapdragon's elevated Cutwater bar, one of the coolest features of the new stadium, where the crew witnessed UH drop another close loss after pulling away in the 4th.

The nation's 17th ranked team, Boise St, comes to the Islands Saturday with a Heisman candidate leading the nation in rushing. What can we realistically expect from Hawai‘i, and what must Coach Chang do from here to keep some of the heat off himself?

We had an amazing tour in SoCal this past week! Check out some of the highlights of our autograph session with two Rams legends and our postgame on-field experience at SoFi Stadium @hisportsfans on Instagram. (And make sure you're following @rainbowwrapup as well.)

The Boys react to the latest in alignment carousel, and they welcome in Matteo Ortiz, Founder of Sons of Montezuma, a brand made for SDSU fans that includes a podcast, videos, news site and even NIL deals with players. Even with the elevation to the PAC-12, Matteo talks about the issues SDSU is having that UH fans can relate to, like filling the seats in their beautiful new stadium. A conversation with an Aztec fan you're gonna wanna hear. One thing is for certain too, the game Saturday will be a close battle.

Another shaky offensive performance compounded by 122 penalty yards doomed the 'Bows in an 18-point loss at Sam Houston. Wayne & Ryan talk about their experience at the game in Huntsville, TX, and Sean provides a stinging report card. The Boys look ahead to Northern Iowa, a ranked FCS opponent who will provide a challenge coming off its game at Nebraska.
