Good ol' days
With all of the gloom and doom of the past several weeks, the Warriors’ fifth-year seniors put into perspective the changes since 2007.
Back then, what remained of Cooke Field’s artificial surface was stripped away, leaving the underpadding that feral cats mistook for a litter box. It was on this surface that Mel deLaura would conduct conditioning drills.
The carpet in the coaches’ offices had the DNA from the Dick Tomey era.
The student-athlete computer room was closed to student-athletes. The training table ran out of food before Colt Brennan signed his last autograph. There was no recruiting coordinator. While the previous compliance guy might have been thorough, he wasn’t swift. Linebacker Corey Paredes redshirted in 2007 because he wasn’t academically cleared until the middle of the season.
And the players and coaches really did watch tape. All of the coaches’ offices were equipped with VHS machines.
Since then UH has invested a lot of money into improvements. Ching field is now the primary practice facility. There’s ample food at the training table (including omelets on Mondays after victories). With the bridge program, the eligibility of newcomers is settled well before the start of the season. Game plans are now available on iPads and laptops. And, yes, there’s more than enough soap in the locker room.
* * * * *
Brashton Satele, who applied for the NFL draft in 2010 after being denied a medical hardship that would have extended his UH career, has been invited to take part in the senior walk on Saturday.
He earned his bachelor’s degree in 2009.

Happy, happy birthday wishes to two of our spunkiest female bloggers — Slugger and JoJo. The birthday weekend celebration begins now!
Slugger
JoJo
Ahhh….
Make memories.
Awesome!
Nice for Brashton Satele.
I wonder how many will still be in the stands by then? 🙄
Never want to think of the “DNA in the carpet”…. 👿
Those new programs for breaking down game film are incredible!
morming
alojah to mane’o arriving in a few hours
top ten?
Morning all,
Morning, everyone!
Happy belated birthday wishes to Mrs. Sailor Blue and Mrs. BigHiloFan!!! Hope you had a great day!
Good to see positive changes. More money and support equates to these improvements. Gotta keep it going, gang!
We’re losing a ton of seniors this year. Lots of great, young talent coming in too!
Go, Warriors! Beat BYU!!!
I remember the old days of coaches watching films. Play. Pause. Reverse. Play. Pause. Reverse. Play. Reverse …
I never had as much motion sickness since that ride scene in How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
😳
Great Morning All!
Enjoy the ride while it lasts, Seniors.
It goes by fast for players at all levels. But as The Blog Host has mentioned before in the bowl game scenario that FBS has, there are about 35 opportunities to finish on an upnote but in all other divisions only one team has a happy ending.
Here’s a look at one of #2 son’s teammates and his journey thru his Senior season:
http://www.theoutlookonline.com/sports/story.php?story_id=132269332850549900
Aiyah! What happened!
Good to read about all the capital improvements made. Sometimes we’re sooo hung up on the wins and losses we miss and glaze over all the good that’s moving the program forward.
Awesome!
Mahalo for the short walk through memory lane, ST!
There are so many things to be thankful for, this week after Thanksgiving. Life is so much more pleasant when we build from a positive POV.
Another positive- the AD office door is open and the AD is proactive – and Chancellor Hinshaw is clearly visible in her support for UH Athletics.
GO WARRIORS!!!
d-1 ~ Great family football story. His parents sound very dedicated, like you, your roomie, and others at Linfield. Any chance of ‘Drew’ advancing to the next level?
Looking forward to the Senior Victory Walk on Saturday… Happy that Brashton will be there too!
Lots of families are coming into town.
No matter what form it takes, it will be a special occasion.
WELCOME, WARRIOR OHANA!!!
I read an article in Sports Hawaii. Did UH offer Jeff Sydner’s son a schollie? Sounded like he could be interested. Dad says he is very talented and could be NFL bound in the future.
What about Tyler Yates’ son? Maybe not at qb (or not), but at db or eventually lb or even slot.
“a luxury many parents miss out on when their child attends college.” On dishima’s post in the last sentence on the 1st page about not being able to see their child play football because of distance. I hope some of the local boys and their parents take that into consideration when deciding to go away for college. Any other college than UH will cost the parents a lot of money to see their child play. Many will have a hard time with that.

Thanks for the Warrior/Holiday cheer, Brew-san. Always great to see your post. And I second all the birthday wishes.
For some reason I have some extra time this morning, so I catch up on the blog. 🙂
Mahalo Brew!
oh yeah…
GO WAHINE!!! 😉
GOOD MORNING HAWAII!
Gee, top 50 or thereabouts.
Not precisely on point but:
“To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;…”
But we are getting there – Ching Field on the drawing boards – finally.
Soap and food available; bridge program is place. Who knows what the future will bring?
And a new rock garden!
Can Hawaii truly afford not to be on ESPN for four years? Just wondering?
always great to open up the beat and see a new post that is not telling of a new injury
and to see today’s artwork done by the brewster.
As much as I can’t stand Benson, he does make a good point about missing ESPN.
Will the games televised on VS and other CBS networks be blacked out in Hawaii?
koakane…now, i remember that bet.
some steaks and heineken keg.
i am glad that brashton gets to walk with his brother as did their sister.
watching uh sports will be different for alvis and lee ann.
Hi Brew!!!
I remember the keg talk.
As a web site owner I believe the topic matter here is definitelygood. I thank you for the tough perform. You need to maintain it up forever! Greatest of luck…
Koakane – are you guys going to be tailgating this week?? Didn’t receive any reminder email yet.
where’s our little governor?
didn’t he say he was going to “return” the stadium to the university during his campaign?
βρεω808!!!
🙂
poor gov…….they annouce him at the mens bb game and ….HE GETS BOOED!!…wassup wit dat???
after further review……………Hawaii 24 – byu 21……..and I’m going to the Sheraton Bowl!!!!!!!!!!!Lets do it Boys!
A Joe — yes I did. I have to get back to him as we are going to produce for Kyra a video for her to have a sizzle reel. That little girl is extremely talented. Her starring role as Annie brought tears to my eyes, so my hub will be back in December to shoot her reel so they can send to agents. Kyra is Hollywood material. Never misses a line. Folks all over Hilo love her. We asked a friend of ours to write her a song. His name is John Carney. He is from the Art Carney family. Remember the Honeymooners? Also going to help Jeff get her on Actors access. Kyra has the gift. Not all kids have natural talent. Also calling my cousin Manu Boyd to see if she could sing with Hookena. You should be so proud of her! We love helping our local kids make it in sports, entertainment or anything if they are motivated. Our house is a revolving door in LA to Hawaii people.
I even have my own girls club volleyball team here in Hilo that I sponsor. All poor kids so we will help them so they can go to Vegas in Feb for scouting tournament, so they can go to college. Kids need to go to college. Helping Hawaiian kids is something Don Weir helps with also. We are trying to form a method to help these kids prep for SAT scores ect. G-d blesses those who give. We are so blessed so we give give give.
You in Hilo?
This week’s Na Koa Member Spotlight takes us to the Garden Island of Kaua‘i, for a woman better known as “LizKauai” within the UH football ‘ohana. Read about Liz and her passion for UH Football. Go Warriors!!!
http://www.nakoa.org/2011/11/na-koa-member-spotlight-liz-hahn/
Good morning, gang!
Nice to look back and see that there have been improvements in the program.
I remember seeing Brashton on the floor at graduation last year taking off for a bit with Greg Salas in the middle of the commencement speech. 🙂
GO WARRIORS!!!
Congratulations to Brashton Satele….. way to go.
I saw last night the discussion about reality TV. I work on a Bravo show. But reality TV takes months to produce. And it is for folks like the Kardashians long hard work. Very hard work. Kids would not be able to concentrate as there are so many cameras in their faces 24/7.
You cant return something when it never belonged to them in the first place.
It is kind of like fooling around with a not so attractive (okay, ugly) man or woman. You enjoy the hook ups and the perks, but you don’t want a committment.
UH wants more from the stadium relationship, but the stadium is too ugly and costly for UH to want it full time.
Good morning everyone!
DNA from Dick Tomey’s era. Clever reference, ST. 😆
BEAT BYU!!!!
Hau’oli la hanau, Jojo!!!
βρεω808,
Mahalo for the birthday graphics! So nice to see you back with your flair.
LizKauai,
Nice writeup for the Na Koa page. Your spirituality shines through. Keep praying…we need everyone’s prayers and positive wishes for the team.
Beat BYWho!
GO WARRIORS!!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SLUGGER and JOJO!!!
Here’s to a WARRIORW to make it sweet!
GO WARRIORS!!!
Big Game This Weekend…Some Many Things Riding on This Game…Bowl Hopes,Recruits and Hate To Say It May Be Even Coaching Jobs…This Game Could Very Well Shape The Future Of Our Program For The Next 4-5 Years….I Hope We Have Great Fan Support And Put All The Point Shaving,Talks Of Coaching Changes To the side and just show our Support For The Seniors And The Team!
Happy Birthday Slugger!
Happy Birthday jojo!
My mommy told me if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say it. I’ll be back posting on Sunday
PolyMom
Some SAT prep sites that offer on-line SAT prep (utilizing on-line random test question generators)
http://www.number2.com/ (FREE!!!)
http://www.princetonreview.com/college/sat-test-preparation.aspx
Using school/library computers is a great option to the traditional tutor approach.
Also buying a block of sign-ons is very cost effective.
We have a local source on O’ahu to help fund this for Hawaiian students so let me know and I will make the call.
Good morning Tsaikos!!
Happy Birthday to Slugger & Jojo!!
GO WARRIORS!
GO WAHINE!!
Stay dry everyone!
Hey, I like your new site. If you want to make money from your site check out our new traffic generating system. …
We provide real-time, zero cost traffic right to your site. http://tinyurl.com/d94wzoc …
Small-axe on the SportsHawaii forum mentioned this which kind of hit a nerve…
As such, what’s to say we’d get more students coming to football if the stadium was closer to Manoa?
BTW, if you’re going to the game tonight and coming from the east side, the Kaimuki Christmas parade is tonight. Waialae Ave closed around 6pm…
I’ve always wondered if that “DNA” from the Tomey era was a rubber stamp part of the Head Coach contract and couldn’t be removed.
SOOOOOOOOO sad…………The Warriors drew 2,144 students for the Sept. 3 game against Colorado, but the past three games have managed turnouts of only 456 (Utah State), 353 (Fresno State) and 224 (Tulane)…………..the fans need a on campus stadium like we need more rust on the one in Halawa.
Hey ST…
Noticed SA had a poll regarding Saturday’s game vs BY-Whoo. The latest results have 46% “not interested” in the game. Sorry, I don’t remember the rest of the results, but for me, I will be there.
For those who are “not interested”, they should not be complaining about the football team on how they team are playing or the coaches, if that cannot or do not want to support the team by coming out to the game or at least watch it on TV.
Hope Graves has a “Rolo moment”, along with the receivers having a “Leile moment” and the defense having a “Pisa moment” this Saturday’s game.
GO WARRIORS!!!
Where is Colt Brennan now? What a loser and embarassment. Thanks for giving the islands a black eye you NFL FLOP. 🙁
#66
Okay, you can now go back to your scout blog.
not everyone can play in the nfl. he was a good college qb. thanks for the memories.
Someone on the SA site mentioned that the nature of UH Manoa students is one of being very passive and uninvolved. I would have to agree. Go to most classes there and there’s very little asking of questions or discussion between the students and professors in class. I’ve known professors who were really irked by the lack of participation and dialog in many classes at Manoa. I guess I was kind of a “strange one” back in my days (decades ago) there up at Manoa in that I would ask questions and sometimes question my professors (respectfully). My classmates would look at me like I was from Mars. That kind of personality may be passed on to the lack of interest in football and other activities on campus.
Happy 10th Anniversary since the 2001 BYU blowout! Old School Dave – you might be onto something. I see it in general apathy over the last couple of years among young business professionals and not wanting to attend events that require money and/or effort. SAD! Only the FREE drinking events draw the crowds among the young types. I wonder if it’s because of social media? Sometimes I think the proliferation of social media has made people more anti.
But anyway……….good luck to the Wahine tonight. Go all the way, ladies!!!!
PP,
😯
(psst…maybe you could re-phrase that last line?)
Stretch,
I hope Pomai saw your comment. Get new co-ahda-na-tah, das why!
But yes, da tailgate is on!
🙂
I’ve heard stories from student-athletes IRKED at the amount of neglagence and haphazard organization from professors and their assistants.
Misplacement of exam results….
Constant tardies by the professors to class…
Distinct prejudice between student-athletes and non student-athletes…
Now if you’ll excuse me, I don’t know if I can attend the round 1 and 2 regionals and the football game over the next few days.
Considering my age and the age of people around me, we might be pre-occupied on Facebook and doing controlled substances 24/7.
I just hope that during the massive binge of narcotics we are all able to hang on to our part time fast food jobs.
Fun conclusion to practice today. There was a dance-off between Brian Clay and Cecil Doe. Players insist Doe won.
They doused Vaughn Meatoga with a bucket of water, for no apparent reason.
Ah, good times in Manoa.
Hope someone got the dance-off on video.
Enjoy it to the end, Warriors. Leave everything on the field!! No regrets.
Don’t let your part time fast food job get in the way of your narcotics consumption. There’s plenty of time for work after college.
This could have been the final practice of the year.
There’s a party for the seniors tonight.
No party for Seniors…yet. Watch tape and dream strategy to beat BYU. Party aftah! 😉
Just passing through.
What!?!?!?
As long as they party with Unity and Lokahi then we all good
yeah, save the party for after the win
Is the party being held near a ticket sale location so that anyone who might be considering buying a ticket to support the Warriors can join in?
Party should be on Sunday. This is a business week.
wat the heck is TSAI talkin about…Final Practice for the year?…have sum faith bruddha!!…bows win…practice goes on til xmas!!
Bwhaha,
I’m with you
If I’m not mistaken, the party might be at Mack’s house.
Then again, I think my invitation got lost in the mail.
Along with the banquet one.
Stretch:
December 1st, 2011 at 9:21 am
Koakane – are you guys going to be tailgating this week?? Didn’t receive any reminder email yet.
stretch why you doing show up or going pull an ette?

Happy Birthday jojo and slugger. May ur day and year be blessed.
Go WAHINE!!!!!!!
A-Joe’s niece Kyra is one amazing child. Stay tuned.
BIK
oh rush is on
http://www.ksl.com/?sid=18315136&nid=272&title=game-preview-byu-at-hawaii
“What can BYU expect from Hawaii?
Throwing the ball all over the island: This team will spread the defense and throw a lot. A few years ago they were setting records, including Timmy Chang breaking Ty Detmer’s record for career passing yards, among a large number of others recently broken. They are a little less run and shoot than they were, but they still have nearly twice as many passes as runs, 551 to 285. They have lost their senior signal-caller Bryant Moniz to injury and now are relying on a sophomore, David Graves, who will be starting only his second game this season. He won last week against Tulane. The game plan is to simply put up more points than the opponent and do it fast… “
close and closer
now wafane, al, ette, iwwthm
KK . . .
No can. At school.
Someone else will have to do it.
happy bday tsaikette’s ette and slugger
when you feeling mane’o oh what fun when you feeing mane’o
I guess the Seniors are not going to the volleyball game to support the fellow UH athletes?? Do two wrongs make a right??
Let’s not jump to conclusions here… 😳
vball at 7-730pm….should be done by 930pm….dam kids dont even start partying til 1030-11pm deese days….PLENTY time to go game and party afterward……..
let go wahine!!!!!! sweep’m!!
Glad to hear everyone’s partying. Another lack of solid practice and more excuses for bland performance. When will Mack learn his lesson? Hope the guys bring the best game of their careers on Saturday. I hope I’m wrong and have to eat my words but the patterns seems to continue. Remember 2010 Hawaii Bowl? Hello!
Again, I hope I’m wrong, but these practice shananigans like dancing and partying later tonight gives me a bad feeling. Sense of urgency please!
I don’t really care about the party. They could use it as a team bonding thing before the game. But Stretch brings up a good point. They should support the Volleyball team too. I remember Colt’s team used to go to the other sports. Saw some of them at a volleyball match once and remember they used to go to a lot of the softball games too.
Eh, guess no need nit pick though. Just come out and play tough.
BOYZ gotta stay loose to BRING DA HAMMAH on Saturday…230pm……..KRUNCH TIME!
Wassup . . . are you questioning the power of dance? (jazz hands, jazz hands)
Happy Birthday to the very lovely Slugger!!!
anyone got a picture of the Slugger?
happy b-day !
I think it’s a dinner, not a party.
There’s still time to go to volleyball, especially since there’s a lot of friendship and interaction between the programs.
And the dance competition was held after the practice had ended.
Sheesh.
Lighten up, people.
everyone’s TIGHT………..big game TONITE……….bigger game SATURDAY…………
Still trying to secure the rights to Slugger’s photo.
Had to work on the JoJo negotiations first.
I’m pretty sure everyone knows the significance of Saturday’s game.
The coaches are coaching for their jobs.
The seniors are playing to delay the start of the rest of their lives.
Coaches are trying to ease the tension. The dinner was planned a long time before the volleyball team was awarded a host’s role.
Deep breaths, everyone. Deep breaths.
There’s plenty of time to pick apart the bones.
Maybe we should dance battle BYU at the 50 yard line before the game
ST . . . lighten up? Man, my wife has been telling me to lose weight too.
Happy Birthday Slugger and Jojo!
kev-1:
That’s a good one.
Happy Birthday Jojo and Slugger
When I was in Japan… I gained a bit of weight.. probably due to stress and a wife that didn’t know how to be happy… My wife kept nagging me about my hair loss and about losing weight. In the end, thanks to her constant bickering, I did lose weight.. a lot of it. I divorced her.
I also was able to keep what was left of my hair, too. 😉
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zALcfb4Fb1E
Can’t have too much dancin.
Feel Good, Warriors.
Put some joy in your lives… LOVE the GAME… PLAY for each other and FOR HAWAII!
GO WARRIORS!
#72 d1shima – sorry I’m just like Obama one ande done………
Stretch you need to check your yahoo account you’ve been on da list from da start……en you too al.
#120…congrats on the weight loss….and gettin that elephant off ur back…..
Off topic. I just came from watching the movie Descendants starring George Clooney. Great scenery and Hawaiian music. Plenty Gabby, even Sonny Chillingsworth among others almost throughout the movie. This is NOT an action movie, and kind of sad at times, but I would recommend it especially for malahini and our Hawaiians living elsewhere and here.
Happy Birthday jojo!
Happy Birthday slugger!
A poll without participants, a blog comment represents 1 persons thought….these kids have played hard and deserve the respect and support of those who appreciate it….I for one do..so that being said—If I were there I would be in the stadium on Sat. I could care less who comes along or what they think….I am a Hawaii fan and a WARRIOR no matter what!!!!!
I will be in Chicago doing what I do every Sat of the FB season…..living and dying on every snap……just one guy’s thought but it is important……it is positive and it is mine!!!! They will take BYU—–
Whoops. Brashton said he graduated in 2009.
Na Wahine loses to Army 55-51. Close game, stats nearly even except TO and FT. UH hit on 8 of 18 FT. UH needs outside shooters, two starters playing 30+ minutes scored 2 points each. Again, every team we have played took more shots and attempted more 3 pt shots, UH needs to change their offensive scheme- dribbling looks good but points are made by taking shots. Petersen installed a motion offense, somehow they forgot the shooting part. I’m wondering if his motion offense is any different from Nash’s version of Wallace’s Flex motion offense.
$2M+ for Leach…Damn. Even if UHAD wanted him we couldn’t have him.
Sucks to be indigent.
You know what? I think they are going to beat BYU! That way, Mo gets to play again (as a Warrior) and Mack keeps his job…
Happy Birthday to Slugger and jojo. You two girlseses is da bomb I tell you, da bomb! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
Double whoops.
It was Brian Clay, not Tavita Woodard. (Got my single-digit defenders mixed up.)
#130…i hope Mo dont play no mo…….puleeze!
#128 UH wahine bb, needs talent……..omg……!
we sure need some b-day pics of slugger and jojo…..ANYONE!?
yo TSAI…..anymore WHOOPS for you and u gonna haveto work at the Star Bulletin…..
#129….that’s what puzzles me about people that think we can get these high profile coaches to come to Hawaii and coach. We simply can’t afford ANY of them….even a million a year would be a joke to them.
#139 JJ was are only hope…….here on out…..we only going to get a up n comer kind of coach…or coordinator looking to become a head coach……UH aint Penn St…..we gonna scrape the bottom of the barrell looking for some prize fish, before anyone knows their prized.
oops..JJ was OUR only hope…
#138….there’s a chance we could snag an “up and comer”. A young coach looking to build his resume. But of course, once he leads us to a top 25 ranking and bowl victories, someone else will offer him a ton of money and he’ll be gone.
afternoon gang!
happy birthday jojo ®!
happy birthday slugger!
Mike Sherman fired from Texas A&M. There goes another.
I guess Texas A&M officials don’t buy the “we can’t fire a coach and cause instability since we will be going into a brand new conference” argument.

It’s been reported that Kevin Sumlin has been offered the HC job here at ASU…as usual, everyone connected with this is mum. The initial deal is for $2.5M/year and it may have to be increased as others are also seeking his services. Sumlin’s salary at UH is between $1 – $1.2M (with a $1M incentive for staying through the 2012 season) effective through 2015. ASU may have to buy out the rest of his contract – they’ve done this for Dirk Koetter when he was fired before ASU’s participation in the Hawaii Bowl in 2006. They also paid Idaho $100K when Erickson was hired as ASU’s HC.
I also see that Mike Sherman of Texas A&M was let go today and Mike Leach is the HC for WSU. If the Warriors are seeking a new HC, they had better move forward quickly before the musical chairs of unemployed HCs are quickly filled.
not that it’s a significant reason…however, and perhaps the drinking laws from age 18 to 21 made an impact on student attendance at on campus and off campus venues.
i remember enjoying throwing down a few before the games, during the games, after the games, and much after the games in my day.
therefore, ppv coverage makes for a much cheaper way to drink, yell, drink, scream, drink, cheer, drink, and drink some more a hawaii sporting event.
thank you for interesting post, it was very useful
anklebiters…first off, got chihuahuas?
that being out of the way…that tier of coaching candidates might be a tad out of our reach anyway. as a mid-major we should be looking for affordable mid major coaching candidates.
get out there.
They already got the student activiy fee. Gave them a good block of seats. Now we need cardboard cut outs of people sitting to put in those seats (cheaper than trying to round the students up — I think, then go look for other marketing niches.
Happy birthday, Birthday Girls!!! Hope you’re having a great day!!!
104…wow, i didn’t know that wdoc had a kid.
I remember seeing them throwing up a few …
Oregon.. Colorado State.. one game a piece… if they keep this up, Wahine Volleyball will get a late start.

The problem as I see it is not seeking a new HC but how to pay the new HC.
Of course if we were looking for a new HC that has just lost his job because he had a lousy record, then why bother?
Should we get a new HC that graduated from Punahou, maybe the Punahou M**** could help (just kidding PolyMom).
Then you do have the problem of paying off the old HC.
Or as the Good Book would say – if I should speak with the voice of angels,
without money, I am nothing.
Happy birthweek Slugger and Jojo.
Belated birthday wishes to Mrs. Sailor Blue.
Nostalgia…. in 2005, everyone was on JJ’s case.. complaining about a horrible 5-Win season… should we have fired him then? Add to that the Bess and Brennan 2nd chance controversy which resulted in a lot of negativity surrounded the Warriors and JJ.
surrounded -> surrounding
You guys can’t even stop until after this Saturday to talk about change. Do you have the burning need to rag onthe coach before BYU? Concentrate on the game, you plenty of time to grumble after the game… Go Warriors!
Beat BYU.
Sad.
Nytal!
Happy Birfday wishes to Slugger and JoJo!
and a belated Happy Birfday wish to Susan and Janice!
Happy Birthday Slugger!
Happy Birthday jojo!
Go Warriors! Pulehu the Cougars!
Colorado State did it this way.
” … Former Colorado State University quarterback Jack Graham has been hired as CSU’s athletic director, replacing Paul Kowalczyk who was fired today.
The school made the announcement in a news release issued shortly before the start of a 1 p.m. news conference. … “
Interesting… since this is an NCAA event UH cant sell beer and they had to cover up all yhe advertisement banners.
Student section is full. Well over 100. Plenty of students roaming the concourse too. I wonder where they will sit.
I thought kkea 1420 was going to air the game. Is this not true or has the game not started yet?
The UH student attendance at UH games is disgraceful. We had more when we were students and going to Honolulu Stadium in the old days (mid 1960s). What happened to school spirit and personal pride. Only high school!!!! The coach should give just one big katoosh. It’s quite unbelievable.
Like I said, a new stadium at the old termite palace will help. Students can easily walk from campus and from the dorms.
scott – the start is delayed due to the first match going five games, teams still doing pregame warm-ups.
LMAO..tommui! Like my hub said to me it would not be in the best interest for Mack to take that lump sum payment due to tax consequences. Better to majestic it a three or five year deal. Then like you guys say, the Punahou Magia and the thugs in the cocktail dresses can pull the money together. Deferred compensation is a good thing at his age.
For as much as Honolulu wouldn’t like it. I honestly believe attendance by students would be much better if we had an on campus stadium. Look at Basketball and Volleyball games. They are right there. I have and will always be a fan of an on campus stadium.
Better to make it…sorry on the IPad.
Happy Birthday to Slugger and Jojo!
Great memories. What fans forget is June Jones had thoughts of quitting long before 2007. He was upset about the booing of Timmy Chang and himself and all the “Fire the Coach” talk. The players are preparing themselves for what may be the most important game of their short college career. This while many fans are attacking the coaches they look up to. Let’s show the players the kind of support they deserve.
GO WAHINES!!!!!
#196 – You say that to all the blogs!

4 Tsaikos shown on da fan-cam so far – chawan, lefty, sj-macro & wdoc!!

Howzit DPK. Have a good night. I going sleep now. Eyes already heavy. 🙂
Wahine bust out da Bear Broom! 3 – 0! Way to be Wahine!
Ny-ny Shoko-san!
WOO HOO!
1 down……..
GO WAHINE!!
Deferred payment… ? Like Pat Hill? From his previous contract, he will start to receive $7,000 a month for 20 years starting in 2013 and another 1000 a month starting in 2014. Doesn’t look like he’ll get many of the incentives from his contract this year, though.
194 – very true…JJ had considered quitting for those reasons & he considered his 2007 season as a “redemption”. As I’ve said before we consider firing Mack we should consider firing the LOUSY fans.
Happy Birthday Tsaiko sistas.
BIK
INSANE $$$ Being tossed around for new coaches. It is my believe that this will all trickle down. For those who complain that 1.2 mil is too much for a football coach, I believe that the going rate for even mid majors like us will still run between $750 and a Mil per year. Especially if you trying to land a coach who will “excite the fan base, increase season ticket sales, and win recruiting battles.”
BIK
Me thinks Tony Tuioti will be an excellent college head coach some day.
BIK
How can I get in touch with JoJo?
You rang?
Thank you for the birthday wishes!
Oh, and Stephen Tsai, thanks for keeping the conversation light. My coworkers were with me in the car & the Bluetooth is thru the stereo speakers!
Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes. Special thanks to Brew for the wishes only he provides.
Spending a quiet week on the Friendly Island of Molokai. We’ll be back on Oahu tomorrow afternoon and ready for the Warrior game with BYU on Saturday.
Kekoa-definitely have had a quiet & peaceful visit. Did partake of the local nightlife of going down a dark alley late in the evening to knock at the back door of the bakery to get fresh baked sweetbread.
Picking up a good size order tomorrow morning for transport back to Honolulu.
See all y’all Saturday.
jm2375,
Met your cuz Corey tonight w/ Bluezilla. Had a beer float to celebrate my b-day @ Kona Brewing.
GO WARRIORS!!!
GO WAHINE!!!
Jojo, Mrs. SB, glad to hear you are having a good birthday celebration.
Mahalo for the birthday wishes, erryone.
Watching the WVB replay now. YAY, WAHINE!
Congrats to the Wahine!! Nice sweep!! You could see the UNC coach getting more frustrated with each point…
protector – contact me ASAP.
BIK – some people think everybody high up at UH is overpaid. Guess they don’t understand the concept of “going rate”. Some fool was complaining about the med school and law school deans being very overpaid.
#216 Slugger, I not positive but I think they get good chance to win the replay too.
Thanks, JM for the tickets to the VB game. The house was rocking with 8000 crazed Wahine fans. Have fun tomorrow! Go Wahine!
Yea for the Wahine!
Caught the end of the match on my ESPN Radio app… love technology.
Mrs. SB, did you get the cinnamon bread too? Ukuleleboi did a gig on Molokai a few years ago and came home with that… WOWOWOW!!!
Looking forward to a great Saturday!
GO WARRIORS!!!
gmahoney- glad you’re feeling better!
Harry’s Law… really a great show. Makes one think… football head injury is something to be truly concerned about…
ST~
Sorry I missed practice and the dance competition afterwards today. Too much rain this morning.
Cecil Doe plays wonderful keyboard. If you’re ever at a banquet with him and there’s a piano around, he’ll be tickling the ivories.
K, night all!
Wahine dominated tonight. There was no question from the git as to who would win tonight’s match.
Belated Happy Birthday to Mrs. Sailor Blue, Jojo, and Mei Ling.
Ohhhhh, ST unlocked the front door! Aloha Kakahiaka, Tsaikos and Tsaikettes! Go Wahine and Warriors!
Watching the vb team dismantle their opponent is like enjoying a refreshing cone of shave ice. It just gets sweeter as you get down to the end. Last night was a real treat.
Finish strong Ladies!
Braddah Pride ~
Will you be one of the former Warriors at Gate 6 tomorrow? Eh! Us guys nevah see you face long time! 😎

Oh bummer Chris Peterson is not taking the job. We need hope back in Westwood.
