Tyau catches Fever

Star-Bulletin staff

Wilfred Tyau said he only had one tough pick when he filled out his Football Fever ballot last week -- Hawaii or Fresno State?

He said he thought maybe Fresno could win at Aloha Stadium. But he went with the Rainbows and his hunch was right.

That pick, along with eight other correct choices, gave Tyau a 9-1 mark. His was the first ballot chosen among those that had records equal to or better than the top panelist and so he wins the $500 weekly prize and two tickets to the Rivals.com Hula Bowl Maui.

"I watched the game twice (on TV) and I heard it on the radio," Tyau said. "I'm glad for the members of the team."
