Sometimes Fate gets it right, like when two people share the good-guy genes.

Ron Lee and Cal Lee are the Hawai'i football team's offensive and defensive coordinators, respectively, and best friends, respectfully.

Tonight, the brothers will be matched against each other in the intrasquad Warrior Bowl at Aloha Stadium. Ron Lee is coach of the Black team; Cal Lee is head of the Green team.

Head coach Greg McMackin came up with the family-feud concept.

"It seemed like a natural to me," McMackin said. "They're both coordinators. They're both well known in the state. I thought it would build more interest, and get more people excited."

While both are competitive, they also share brotherly love. Ron Lee said he cannot remember the last time they fought.

"If we had any disagreements, it was probably about football," Ron Lee said. "But nothing big."

Cal Lee said: "We're close. We're best-friend-kind-of stuff. I want the best for him. He wants the best for me."

Both attended the same college, and they coached together at Kaiser High School and then Saint Louis School. They built Saint Louis into the most dominant football program in Hawai'i history. During the 1990s, they also worked together at the Outrigger Hotel's Main Showroom.

"I probably see him more than I see my wife," Cal Lee said.

All of which puts a long-time UH fan in a difficult position.

Their 91-year-old father, Thomas Lee, said he will remain neutral for tonight's game.

"I don't want to show any favoritism," he said. "I love them both. They're both good boys. No black sheep in the family."

Thomas Lee and his wife spent most of their lives rooting for their three sons. Tommy Lee Jr. recently retired as Montana Western's head coach.

"I never had a social life," Thomas Lee said. "All of my life was with my boys. Take one there. Pick one up. Back and forth. My life was running around. But I'm not sorry. I love it. We give the TV a rest. We go to football."

Thomas Lee has attended UH football games for several decades. He remembered paying 80 cents for an end-zone seat at Honolulu Stadium.

He said he and his group of friends are "regulars at Aloha Stadium. We go early and stay late. We avoid the traffic. I enjoy that. I have a good life. I'm so blessed. I thank the Lord every day to be blessed with three good boys."

Parking gates to the 'Ohana Festival open at 4 p.m. today. The autograph session runs from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The Warrior Bowl kicks off at 7 p.m. The game will be played with a running clock.

Here's a look at the matchups:

BLACK OFFENSE

Quarterback—11 Inoke Funaki (5-11, 195, Jr.). Running back—27 Daniel Libre (5-8, 185, Sr.). Left wideout—84 Joe Avery (6-5, 180, Fr.). Left slotback—20 Jon Medeiros (5-8, 195, Jr.). Right slotback—85 Aaron Bain (5-9, 190, Sr.), Right wideout—89 Malcolm Lane (6-2, 185, Jr.). Left tackle—64 Ray Hisatake (6-3, 315, Jr.). Left guard—62 Keith AhSoon (6-1, 315, Sr.). Center—56 Sila Lefiti (6-0, 290, Fr.). Right guard—74 Raphael Ieru (6-2, 310, Jr.) or 65 Nathan McKay (6-2, 280, Sr.). Right tackle—78 Keoni Steinhoff (6-3, 280, Sr.).

Outlook: As part of the revised four-wide offense, the quarterbacks took snaps from under center most of the spring. For this game, the Black team's QBs will be back in the shotgun, 4 yards from the line of scrimmage. How long will the Black team be in the shotgun? "It depends on how long (Green pass-rusher) John Fonoti plays," coach Ron Lee said. "Our plan is to run away from John."

Funaki, who entered spring training as the No. 1 quarterback, has played well. The coaches have been gushing about Avery, who has gained more than 15 pounds. Bain runs the best routes.

BLACK DEFENSE

Left end—94 David Veikune (6-3, 250, Sr.). Left tackle—93 Keala Watson (6-3, 300, Sr.). Right tackle—49 Tuika Tufaga (6-3, 285, Jr.). Right end—90 Elliott Purcell (6-3, 240, So.). Strongside linebacker—28 Erik Pedersen (6-0, 200, Jr.). Middle linebacker—17 Solomon Elimimian (6-0, 220, Sr.). Weakside linebacker—59 R.J. Kiesel-Kauhane (5-11, 225, Jr.). Left cornerback—2 Ryan Mouton (5-10, 180, Sr.). Strong safety—43 Mana Silva (6-1, 205, So.). Free safety—37 Kenny Estes (6-0, 195, So.). Right cornerback—16 JoPierre Davis (6-0, 200, Jr.).

Outlook: During his first three seasons, Satele received a great amount of PT — physical therapy. Now healthy, he has been putting the hurt on running backs this spring. "He's going to be outstanding," Ron Lee said. "Looking at our (video) cutups, what he's doing against (the offense), wow, he might be having the best spring of them all."

Lee said that Kiesel-Kauhane, who benches a team-high 455 pounds, and C.J. Allen-Jones, who moved from outside linebacker, are quick off-the-perimeter rushers.

GREEN OFFENSE

Quarterback—6 Tyler Graunke (6-0, 185, Sr.). Running back—4 Leon Wright-Jackson (6-1, 210, Jr.). Left wideout—7 Greg Salas (6-2, 195, So.). Left slotback—5 Michael Washington (5-7, 175, Sr.). Right slotback—21 Kealoha Pilares (5-11, 190, So.). Right wideout—81 Dylan Linkner (6-0, 205, Sr.). Left tackle—77 Aaron Kia (6-5, 300, Jr.). Left guard—63 Brysen Ginlack (6-2, 290, So.). Center—55 John Estes (6-2, 290, Jr.). Right guard—51 Clarence "Lafu" Tuioti-Mariner (6-0, 285, Sr.). Right tackle—72 Clayton Laurel (6-2, 275, Fr.).

Outlook: Laurel, who grayshirted in 2006 and redshirted last season, has been one of the surprises of spring training. Pilares, who moved from running back, has found a home at slotback, where his quickness is accentuated in the open field. Quarterback coach Nick Rolovich said Graunke, after a slow start, has a better comprehension of the offense.

"Tyler has bought in the last few days," Rolovich said. "He's made a lot of improvements. He ended the spring with his two best practices."

Graunke said: "It's been a good spring. There's been a lot of learning, and a lot of changes, obviously. We want to end it good, end it right. It doesn't matter who wins — even though the Green is going to win — we're going to have fun out there."

GREEN DEFENSE

Left end—49 Victor Clore (6-3, 245, Jr.). Left tackle—99 Josh Leonard (6-3, 275, Sr.). Right tackle—95 Vaughn Meatoga (6-2, 285, Fr.). Right end—58 John Fonoti (6-3, 250, Jr.). Strongside linebacker—8 Tyson Kafentzis (6-1, 220, Sr.). Middle linebacker—50 Mana Lolotai (6-0, 220, So.). Weakside linebacker—44 Adam Leonard (6-0, 235, Sr.). Left cornerback—9 Jameel Dowling (6-3, 205, Sr.). Strong safety—31 Spencer Smith (5-11, 195, So.). Free safety—24 Desmond Thomas (6-3, 175, Sr.). Right cornerback—22 Steve Stepter (5-9, 190, Fr.).

Outlook: Dowling, who has transferred from Oregon, has the build of a safety but the speed to be a cover defender. "He's going to be a corner," assistant head coach George Lumpkin said. "He's a big corner, but he has the ability to stay low. I don't think we've had a guy that tall who can do what he can do. He has great feet."

Lolotai earned the respect of teammates when he was one of first players selected for last year's Scout Bowl. "He's our only middle" linebacker for this game, Lumpkin said. "He's all we need."

TWO-TIMERS

Kicker—86 Dan Kelly (6-3, 210, Sr.).

Long-snapper—59 Jake Ingram (6-4, 235, Sr.).

Outlook: Kelly will finally get to show off his full menu of skills. He doubles as the punter. He has been receiving tips from Tim Grasso, last year's punter, who is visiting this week. Grasso has earned enough credits to spend the spring semester in his native Utah, where he is a junior-varsity baseball coach. Grasso reports to training camp in August.
