Hawaii at Oregon picks and predictions

Prediction

Oregon 51, Hawaii 17

Moneyline

The moneyline was OTB at the time of publication but would not be worth pursuing even if it were available.

Against the spread

BET HAWAII +38.5 (-115).

While Oregon’s offense has showcased flashes of brilliance, like scoring 81 points in its first game and having a 20-point quarter to close out last week, Hawaii has shown it is more than capable of finding the end zone as well.

The Rainbow Warriors have scored at least 20 points in each of their first 3 games and if they are able to put the ball in the end zone even twice, they will have a great chance to cover this huge line.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 68.5 (-105).

Whether the Over or Under hits will be largely dependent on which Ducks offense comes out of the tunnel. If it is the Week 1 offense that put up 81 points and was firing on all cylinders, this game could get out of hand quickly and cash the Over quickly. However, Hawaii could prove to be more of a challenge to Oregon, like Texas Tech was last week, meaning a tougher defensive battle and an Under payday.

Former Hawaii congressman plays leading role in 80th anniversary of D-Day events

Former Hawaii congressman plays leading role in 80th anniversary of D-Day events

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – As we celebrate freedom and democracy, one former Hawaii politician has a job perpetuating patriotism and freedom around the world.

Former Hawaii Congressman Charles Djou played a leading role in last month’s 80th anniversary of D-Day events as secretary and chief executive of the American Battle Memorials Commission.

At the June 6 commemoration at Normandy Beach, Djou was the first speaker before President Emmanuel Macron, of France, and U.S. President Joe Biden — where he said Americans defend freedom in foreign lands, but then brings its soldiers home.

“All that America asks for in return for the sacrifice of our brave and our young and our finest is a few small plots of land to bury our dead,” he said.

Despite his time in Congress and in Afghanistan as an officer with the Army Reserve, Djou said the D-Day ceremonies were humbling.

He was surrounded by surviving veterans, high-ranking officials and politicians and even Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.

“I did not sit next to Tom Hanks. My wife and daughter sat next to Tom Hanks,” he said, laughing.

U.S. Rep. Jill Tokuda said she was excited to see Djou representing Hawaii at the events.

“You had Secretary Austin, you had Secretary Blinken, and you had Secretary Djou,” she said. “I mean, you know, to see a local boy of such prominence.”

The American battle monuments commission oversees 31 memorials and cemeteries in 17 countries, including the Honolulu Memorial, which surrounds the statue of Lady Columbia in Punchbowl.

A former Republican who supported Biden over Trump, Djou was appointed to the job about two years ago. But he said why isn’t clear to him.

“The short answer is, I don’t know. I mean, all political points are a little bit of a black box, no matter where you get appointed,” he said.

No matter how it came about, he says the job suits him.

“I love telling the story of American history,” he said in an interview with Hawaii News Now. “I believe in our country, and I believe in American honor, and this agency has this just amazing job to present the history of America and American service. And so for me, it’s, it’s humbling and exceptionally rewarding.”

Because he actively campaigned against Trump four years ago, Djou doesn’t expect to keep the job long if the president isn’t re-elected. But for a 54-year-old who’s been in Congress, the Legislature and the City Council, he’s accustomed to changing careers.

Alcaraz, Sinner advance at Wimbledon but Ruud shown the door

Alcaraz, Sinner advance at Wimbledon but Ruud shown the door

LONDON — Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and top seed Jannik Sinner took contrasting routes into the third round of Wimbledon but eighth seed Casper Ruud was unable to find a way through and felt the gloom on a cloudy Wednesday.

Alcaraz came close to dropping the first set of his contest against Australian Aleksandar Vukic but the third seed sprang to life and blew away his opponent with a 7-6(5) 6-2 6-2 victory during which he showed flashes of last year’s title-winning form.

“I’m feeling similar… Obviously, I’m getting better and better. Hopefully, if I keep winning, I’m going to find the same level as the final last year,” said Alcaraz, who downed Novak Djokovic in five sets to lift the title.

“I’m feeling that I’m playing great tennis. Physically, I’m feeling great. Hopefully I’ll keep going.”

Sinner was dragged into a fight by fellow Italian Matteo Berrettini and surrendered the third set tamely before battling to a 7-6(3) 7-6(4) 2-6 7-6(4) win shortly before the 11 p.m. curfew at the venue.

“For me a big honour to play in such an incredible venue and today I had my first match on Centre Court which is special. The support has been amazing,” Sinner said.

Daniil Medvedev began the day’s proceedings on Centre Court and looked out of sorts, even losing track of the score at one point in his clash with the 102-ranked Alexandre Muller before the fifth-seeded Russian prevailed 6-7(3) 7-6(4) 6-4 7-5.

Second seed Coco Gauff was also not at her best under the roof on Court One but reined in the errors to get past Romanian qualifier Anca Todoni 6-2 6-1.

The American said she needed to win more cleanly despite dropping only six games in two matches.
