I am now in my senior year at UH Mānoa and am enjoying the timing of the“ football team’s undefeated season. I still remember my first UH football game: The 2004 home opener For the four of us, it all starts at 4 a.m. on the first day of school versus Florida Atlantic. Going to the game, I thought the Warriors were definite favorites, but as it turned out, while others are sleeping. Before school starts, the four of us are the game went to the Owls. I was so disappointed in the outcome, but my commitment to following UH was “ just beginning to brew. From that day until now, I’ve lived my life happily as a Hawai‘i Warrior, knowing camping out, outside the Stan Sheriff Center.

I feel like when I perform at my peak level as a fan, I will not only excite the team, arrives, we greet one another with a “happy gameday” to all we see. but also encourage other fans to do the same. Yes – the athletes are the ones scoring points, but the Warrior When the four of us met last year at orientation, we all decided that Team extends far beyond the sidelines. One rule of thumb that I always live by, and think all UH fans should we would paint up for every game and take it as our God-given duty live by, is that face-paint is mandatory for all games. Any square inch of skin unmarked is another square to revive the once passive student section. Every Saturday we get inch of skin that could be cheering on our Warriors – every little bit helps, right? Another reason why I think our hula skirts and body paint, along with some food and drinks, to I am the Ultimate Hawai‘i Warrior is my creation of one of UH’s newest clubs, “Warrior Nation.” Through take to Aloha Stadium (aka Church) and after chillin’ for a couple lots of work in the summer, I’ve created a lot of interest and excitement in UH athletics through organized hours, we begin painting up.
