Where was everybody at during the 2010 game at WA-Griz when the infamous Halloween costumes were debuted.....Chase Reynolds coughed up the ball at the 5 yard line and then T-Bowed off and on the rest of the game.....the little smack talking Griz corner was ejected from the game mid-way in the first quarter for an all american cheap shot....and a Cat Freshman QB opened the gates to the stunned masses with the walk of shame across the Clark's Fork.....ohhhhhmygod that was funny!!! :mrgreen:

Watched that one on TV. Felt really bad for the team and Chase that day. I suspect I'll have some slightly similar feelings for Kirk & that former freshman cat QB this Saturday. This will be a very hard way for them to end their careers. Sometimes Karma is a bitch, isn't it?
Though I won't have any such feelings for cat fans tasting failure once again. :ugeek:

Former quarterback Ah Yat switches gears.
Hindsight is always 20/20, but it looks like in the end, Brian Ah Yat needed the University of Montana as much as it needed him. The ‘Iolani graduate and undersized quarterback really had limited football options coming out of high school.
“I wasn’t heavily recruited at all. My dad is friends with Tommy Lee, the current University of Hawai‘i offensive coordinator,” says Ah Yat. “He was coaching at University of Montana at the time. My dad gave him a call because he believed in my skills and ability.”
Although he had a few hometown Hawai‘i teammates on the roster when he was playing, it took a little time for Ah Yat to warm up at University of Montana— literally, as he was ill-prepared for the below-freezing winters Missoula offers. But once he got comfortable, his coaches, teammates and certainly his opponents knew he was going to be a special player.
After red-shirting his freshmen year, Ah Yat went on a tear throughout the next three seasons (1996-1998). He passed for more career yards then Donovan McNabb of Syracuse and Cade McNown of UCLA, two of the most nationally notable quarterbacks during that span of time.
“I like to think of myself as a student of the game. I had a great coach, Brent Pease, who taught me a lot about what I know about football and definitely offense. He is currently the offensive coordinator at University of Florida and was at Boise State,” says Ah Yat. “I learned from one of the best; he taught me how to become a complete quarterback.”
After graduating in 1998, he had a few professional seasons. His first three games after University of Montana were in Hawai‘i playing for the Hawaii Hammerheads in the Indoor Professional Football League. Ah Yat then was given an opportunity to play in the Canadian Football League for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers from 1999 to 2001. After recovering from a knee injury, he would play for the Chicago Rush arena football team before returning home to Hawai‘i.

In 2006, after a few years as a teacher and high school football coach, Ah Yat helped bring a little part of Montana to Kailua. During college, his parents spent a season in Montana watching Ah Yat play, and became fond of a local bread company.
“When I was up there I was eating dinner at my parents’ place every night. My mom would have Great Harvest Bread on the table every night. I fell in love with Great Harvest,” says Ah Yat, who adds that his mom nudged him a bit to save some of his professional earnings to open a Great Harvest Bread Co. franchise in Hawai‘i.
This year marks the sixth anniversary of Kailua’s Great Harvest Bread Co. (261-8300, 1020 Keolu Drive)—a company Ah Yat literally knew nothing about going in, but was confi-dent in the product just by the taste of it.
“When I started, I was the bread baker for the first two or three years. I was in there baking bread all the time—I always had flour all over my clothes,” he says. “I had no idea what bread baking was all about before.”
Today, Ah Yat is still as versatile as he was on the football field. When he is not helping create tasty cheese and cinnamon breads, he is on the sidelines rooting or coaching for his sons’ (Keali‘i and Kamani) football teams.
