Source: Hawaii Booster Manumana Tuiasosopo steps up $$$$

He played center for Texas State in the late 80's and helped the school to their first win in the year after the NCAA delivered sanctions on the school.

Could be, but he went to UCLA. What's the proof he's a UH backer? I can't find that.

Let's sign JJ for $1.7 M, trade him to UH for $2.5 M, and pocket the difference.

Manumana made his fortune with a product called "HEAD-ON" "apply directly to the head"

Maybe Manu'ula Tuiasosopo? Manumana is the name of the character in Unnecessary Roughness.

That is the first thing that came to my mind as well...

Do we also get Kathy Ireland? I think Morestead is great and all, but ....

There are a bunch of Tuiasasopo family members who played / are playing football. Manu played at UCLA back in the early 80s, but it doesn't sound like this is the same dude. At least 3 of his nephews played at Washington, and I think one of them (Marques) is the backup QB for the Raiders. I've never heard of the one who played for Texas State.

South Bay go to Blockbuster, look for a movie called "Necessary Roughness" and watch it...might help you understand that joke

If it makes anyone feel better, the marginal state income tax rate in Hawaii is 6.4% over $100,000 in income (smaller % on $25k to $100k). The tax bite on $2.5 m would be almost $160,000.

If we just talking about U of H offering $1.5 m, the state income tax would approach $100,000.

My Source says Major UH booster Manumana "Big Kahuna" Tuiasosopo has stepped up and offered June Jones 2.5 Million.............It's not over yet.

Feed em some more boiled eggs... That should shut him up.
