The Hawaii Warriors anagram roster

Boise State hits conference play this weekend with a showdown at Hawaii. In related news, I remain really stuck on this anagram thing that's probably not as funny as I think.

After the jump, check out Hawaii's roster through the eyes of witty wordplay and an anagram server. Actual analysis will begin tomorrow. You have to start somewhere, right?

Star-divide

(An anagram is like a word jumble; you take the letters from a word or phrase and mix them up to see what other words or phrases you can come up with. Try it for yourself. Hawaii's anagram roster was especially challenging because of player names chock full of vowels. Hence, I delved into the Hawaii coaching staff as well. No offense, Chris Tormey.)

Re: "stuck on this anagram thing that's probably not as funny as I think"

Anything that produces “Tomboy Monger” and “Me Sphincters” is too good to give up on so easily.

I agree

Take heart Kevan, these are well rec’d! (rec’d = received in this instance)… and rec’d too I suppose.

Boy, I knew that Hawaii recruited in prisons, but...

With those last 3? Has it gotten that bad? No, I know, they must be really good… I guess there is no age limit in CFB, I suppose all you need is a few years of eligibility.

Well, those last three are coaches ...

Hawaii’s roster was short on anagram-worthy names.

Oh!

No wonder… I remember hearing about some 60 year old guy who always wanted to play college football and also wanted to finish his degree. I don’t think he was a starter, but he made the roster of some Div 2 or 3 team. I think he was the back-up kicker.

Hate to say it...

but don’t we all already know that the BCS is not a system with morals? Rather, it is a clever plan devised by the devil himself to drive the world into a state of madness and chaos.

by kunzy5 on Oct 20, 2009 12:00 AM PDT up reply actions  

Yes and yes.

After seeing these crazy anagrams for the last few weeks I figured why not put them to use.

Voila!

I tried to do that a couple weeks ago

but I didn’t have the imagination to follow through with it. Kudos!

Wow…that’s what Greg Alexander looks like? He looks a few days shy of his 40th birthday.

he is injured you will get the second string hawaii qb and what i saw of him he is below average

here is a point spread you might be interested in. idaho is +13 and 1/2 point dog to nevada. that line will no doubt goto 14 and 1/2 at the cal neva which is based in reno where nevada plays. i’m taking my gravy train and caboose the idaho vandals when it gets to 14.5 points. idaho is the best in the country at
7-0 vs the spread. 6-1 straight up. the sec has a bunch of average games this week so espn gameday is going to provo for the tcu/byu game. these two games wil have more money wagered on them than any other games. peace,

Something made me feel a little dirty when I read “Me Sphincters” followed by “Salami Van”.
