Boy, this is a great time to be a Hawaii sports fan. With the smallest of athletes (Little League) to Olympic gold medalists, Hawaii can be proud of their newest Champions, getting it done at every level.

Yesterday, the boys from Waipio came back from a 5-1 deficit in the last inning to win the US Championship. Today, the Hawaii team completely destroyed the heavily favored Mexican team (12-3) to win the Little League World Series!

University of Hawaii Football

Tonight, UH plays Louisiana Tech at Aloha Stadium. After last weeks win at Fresno, the Warriors are riding high. Yeah, even I gotta admit, I didn't think they were gonna win!

Now where did I get this cool shirt you ask... The Rainbowtique?, Champ Sports?, The Sports Authority?... none other than Times Supermarket of course!
