It shows the results of a poll taken before last weekend's NFL draft asking the respondents to predict where they thought quarterback Colt Brennan would be chosen.
Demonstrating that Hawaii fans are more than mere homers, 30.4 percent of them correctly predicted the sixth round and another 20 percent said he wouldn't be drafted at all. A combined 40.7 percent had him going between the third and fifth rounds. And no one had him going on the first day.
The same newspaper ran a story earlier this week concluding that Brennan's decision to return to UH for his final season of eligibility cost him some big bucks.
Had Brennan gone in the second round last year, he would have earned about $2.7 million over a three-year period.
Instead, Brennan dropped to the sixth round, 186th overall, and is likely to earn about $1.25 million over the next three years if he stays healthy and on the Washington Redskins roster.
And remember a committee established by the NFL to advise juniors considering making the jump as to where they were likely to be picked in the draft?
According to insiders, the same group told Davone Bess he would be a second-round pick. Bess was not chosen at all.
He wasn't alone. None of Brennan's receivers were drafted, although did land free-agent deals. Bess signed with Miami, Jason Rivers with Tennessee and Ryan Grice-Mullins with Houston. Offensive lineman Hercules Satele signed with Arizona.
