SAN JOSE, Calif. — Approximately 90 members of quarterback Colt Brennan's family are expected to attend today's University of Hawai'i football game against San Jose State — and some of them will even be rooting for him.

"It is a divided family this week," said Terry Brennan, Colt's father. "There is a little strain in the family and that's part of the game, too."

This is the one game each season where the family's rooting interest divides along strict lines, Colt said. Colt's uncle, Steve, was a receiver for the Spartans in 1967 and Steve's son, Brent, is an assistant coach at SJSU.

Another of Steve's sons, Brad, played for Spartans' coach Dick Tomey at Arizona.

"We'll all get together before the game and afterward, but when the game starts we go our own separate ways, sit in our own areas during the game," Terry said.

Colt said, "Brent and I talk a lot during the season. It is a friendly conversation where he talks about how they are doing and I talk about how we are doing. Obviously, we're both excited to come out. We talked last week but we don't talk about the game much and give anything away.

"There's no trash talking because we know we'll have to see each other after the season, too."

Brent tried to recruit Colt to San Jose State before he committed to UH.

Big crowd expected: San Jose State officials say they expect perhaps the largest crowd ever for a Western Athletic Conference game in 31,681-seat Spartan Stadium.

Projections are for a crowd between 20,000 and 25,000, depending upon today's weather (likely chance of rain and temperatures in the high 50s) and traffic congestion. Kickoff is 5 p.m. Pacific time, the beginning of the Friday Bay Area commuter crunch, officials said.

The largest UH-San Jose crowd at Spartan Stadium was 20,289 in 1991. As many as one quarter to one third of today's crowd is expected to be UH fans — from Hawai'i and transplants, school officials said.

The Hawai'i Chamber of Commerce of Northern California is hosting two days of events for the game, including a tailgate at the municipal baseball stadium prior to kickoff.

Yee misses trip: Ben Yee, a vice president and founding member of Na Koa, the football booster club, is recovering at his Honolulu home after being briefly hospitalized for tests after suffering a fainting episode Tuesday.

Yee, 76, is missing only his second UH football road trip in about 30 years.

"I guess I'm getting old, but they tell me I'm OK," Yee said.

"It is a little strange not to see Ben around," said UH coach June Jones. "He's always been with us."

Video on ESPN: A 30-second informational video about UH that will air on ESPN's showing of today's game was produced by the UH Manoa Academy for Creative Media, the school said.

The spot, entitled "Discover Your Life," highlights learning opportunities for students at the Manoa campus and includes glimpses of the marine lab at Coconut Island, a research lab at the John A. Burns School of Medicine, dance students at Kennedy Theatre, study abroad students in Hong Kong, working in a lo'i, playing volleyball, and graduation ceremonies.

The video can be seen on the UH Manoa Web site at http://manoa.hawaii.edu/

49ers on sideline: Former UH players Isaac Sopoaga, Jeff Ulbrich and Ashley Lelie of the San Francisco 49ers are expected to be on the Warriors' sideline today.

Also, former UH men's basketball coach Riley Wallace and sportscaster Larry Beil are scheduled to be on hand.
