UH spring football finale set
The schedule for the Hawaii spring football practice
finale was announced yesterday. But coach Greg Mc-
Mackin hasn't decided yet if the camp-closing scrimmage
will be offense against defense, or a green vs.
white set-up where both
squads have offense and
defense.
"We still have a month
and a half before spring
practice starts (on March
31)," McMackin said yesterday.
"I want to see where
we're at before deciding on
the format."
The final practice will be
Saturday, Apr. 26, from 5 to
8:30 p.m. at Aloha Stadium.
UH is still working with the
stadium to determine if the
event and parking will be
free, as it was last year.
The first 4,000 fans will
receive a free copy of the
2008 Allstate Sugar Bowl
commemorative poster. There will be contests and family
activities. Concession and merchandise stands will
be open and there will be live entertainment.
From 5:30-6:30 p.m., members of the football team
will be available for autographs and photos, so fans are
encouraged to bring their cameras and items to sign.
Beginning at 7 p.m., the Warriors will practice, including
the scrimmage.

The U.S. team will open Group B play against China on March 5, face Norway on March 7 and finish the first round against Italy on March 10.
