Testing 1, 2, 3 …
This is the third day of my video testing. I think I figured out the problem with the blurriness. My next step is to hire a speech therapist so I can stop saying “all right” and “all righty.”

So the phone finally got a prescription glasses? lol
The iphone will be a great addition this August since practices are not open to the public. Looking forward to it evolving.
Good Night
Alrighty!
Top 5!!!
And a super Hump Day and night to all.
Alrighty.
Thank you for the clear videos, Mr. Tsai.
Good Morning! Great video interviews ST! Have a wonderful Wednesday folks!
Did someone get a new toy ? 🙂
Mahalo King Tsai-ko for the videos.
George Jetson wouldn’t be able to use an iPhone
morning gang!
Stephen – thanks for the vid’s
Good morning, gang!
ST ~ Good job on the videos! Nice to see Darryl eating heathly and in good shape. No time to view the rest till later. I miss watching practices.
Hi ho, hi ho….laters…
Great Morning All!
iCan see clearly now!
GOOD MORNING HAWAII!
Technology – it’s wonderful – I think!
ST getting back to where you left off last night. Can you clarify your position as to why we should play nice and allow their non football sports into the mwc. Did the deadline for them to formally commit to the big east pass? If not its probably because they can’t find a home for those sports. We should force them back to the mwc and enhance our chances for tv contract renegotiations.
Would UH be interested in USC transfer QB Jesse Scroggin. He is a former 5 star recruit
Championship Ball – Besides OKC-San Antonio (from 20 straight Wins to Three Straight Losses, sounds like UH softball & baseball)… Today Ch 222 2pm, Keilani Ricketts and Oklahoma take on Alabama in a Winner Take All National Championship Game, with All-American sisters Samantha and Stephanie (of Hawai’i) in the stands…IF Keilani (National Player of the Year) can beat #2 ‘Bama for the second time in three days, it is like a reprisal of two years ago when Stephanie and the UH Wahine left ‘Bama fans with their Jaws on the ground ending their 33(!) Game Winning streak by beating National #1 ‘Bama Twice in Tuscaloosa to Advance to the College Softball NCAA Championship World Series…..
Great Videos, ST
Howzit Tsaikos everywhere.
ST
your videos. Alrighty! 😀
Graham,
I would be interested. Maybe the coach would be interested too.
Lucky buggaz you Kauai folks Friday night.
gots to go.
hi ho hi ho. laterz
great job Stephen. good morning Tsaikos!
ALL RIGHTY!!!!
I am surprised that your videos came out so clear. I could even see their pimples! Lol. Not.
The wonders of technology!
My worst nightmare is that the Heat loses to the Celtics. To come this far and not become national champions would be heartbreaking.
The Heat needs our prayers, guys!
Morning everyone.
I think the key to super conferences is getting better TV contracts and more BSC berths. But when a playoff is approved, eventually we’re all going back to geographical alliances. So while it would be fun to stick it to Boise’s non-football sports, in the long run, it wouldn’t be a good idea to make enemies with anyone.
yup…”never burn the bridges behind you…”
ST: so true. Don’t make enemies, period. “Can’t we all get along?”
adderall for sale online cheap adderall online – buy adderall tj
so true. never burn the bridges behind you. except…. #1 reason…. an #2 reason….
an… an… ah heck, burn Boise.
…and su’a cravens selects usc.
#21:
NOT!!!!! Celtics will prevail and leave L James still searching for that magical championship!
per Brandon Huffman
“USC now has verbals from 3 of the top 8 prospects nationally and five of the top 18 in the country, and five players in top 3 at position…”
sounds like ahouse wants to lay a bet with gg.
#28:
no surprise there
#31: wonda if my pal Gigi is willing? she must give points as the Heat are favored to win.
A-House: favored to win what??? The nationals? First, they gotta beat the Celtics.
I dunno. I am so disappointed in them.
BHF2 #27
Remember to: do unto others what they have done to you.
(Oh, that’s not how the saying goes?)
Or what has BSU done for us lately?
Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂
Tom –
BSU let us play on their pretty blue field! 🙂 🙂
ahouse…points? you said the celtics would win thus implying sans points.
Alrighty then! 😆
The blog host has come full circle in his neverending quest to be the greatest sports reporter in the Universe. (Yes, I meant UNIVERSE!) 🙂
Stephen Tsai, the recent former “Dean of WAC Sportswriters” in football print media is now a full fledged video journalist. (Perhaps d1shima can be the new “‘Dean’ of WAC Sportswriters”. He’s got the chops! :lol:)
Just insert yerself into the vids for the “stand up” talent and you’ll have done it all, Stephen!
BTW- Thanks for da videoseses, Stephen! Good to see the Warriors workin’ hard in the summer!
al:
while the Celts are up one game, Maimi was the odds on favoriate to win the East
thus, Heat fans should be giving points – or at least that’s what Vegas says!
Regarding whether to invite Boise State into the Big West, I don’t think it’s about making friends or enemies. It’s about UH doing what’s best for the Big West and UH. Adding Boise State doesn’t benefit the conference or UH in any way. It increases Big West membership to 11 (which messes up scheduling), doesn’t meaningfully improve competition in basketball or volleyball (and Boise State doesn’t even play baseball), and forces UH players to endure a draining two-flight road trip which makes it harder to win.
The only potential benefit of inviting Boise State into the Big West is to keep San Diego State in the conference, given that the Aztecs add real value in basketball and baseball and fit the geographic footprint. But San Diego State has already said that it will put football in the Big East and keep Olympic sports in the Big West regardless of what happens to Boise State. So it isn’t necessary to invite Boise State into the Big West to hold onto San Diego State.
H to the i to H to the o! Have a good morning y’all!
Good points, Mongoose!
One more thing before I go:
RIP to Ray Bradbury, arguably the greatest of all time in his genre.
ST:
Those videos are so clear. Good that you keep them short. Keep it up. Thanks.
Just wondering how BSU voted about UH paying travel subsidies when they get to the MWC. If BSU voted for subsidies, then UH ould be doing the same as BSU nothing more.
If the MWC keeps losing “quality members” a contract may not come. Boise will subsidize their other sports with BCS money and put us at a disadvatage in those sports also. I huess we’ll agree to disagree. GO WARRIORS AND BOWS!
Huess = guess
Ray Bradbury: I used to read his books, what 50 plus years ago. I was surprised that he was still living.
ahouse…you said the celtics would win implying outright without points…? now, what?
hahahaha.
Yess!! The vids are back!!!
Awesomeness!!!
dpk…does your comment have a subliminal message such as; and now st will be the rookie beatwriter of the mwc this season?
well, hawaii will not be paying travel subsidies to sdsu nor bsu if they are allowed entrance.
the big west as a whole don’t want to travel to the remoteness that is bsu and bsu’s olympic sports are neither noteworthy thus making the inclusion something to ponder.
the big sky probably still have bad vibes with bsu.
surely the bsu contingent must be sweating bullets by now.
empty…it was not a vote on travel subsidies. hawaii had to offer travel subsidies if we were to even entertain entrance at all. surely, it was unanimous for our acceptance by all mwc with that caveat.
Sorry, I don’t like the Heat. I like the Celtics, I like the Spurs and I like the Thunder too. My head says that OKC is the best team. My heart says the Spurs and Celtics in the final. The Heat can still win the East, but no matter. I think OKC is going to win it all. And, It is not the national championship. It’s the NBA championship or NBA Finals, commonly known as the world championship. Just to be correct. Only 23, Kevin Durant is the best to me. His game is a lot like Nowitzki, only leaner, and faster, and more athletic. And, he’s improving as a defensive player too. At 6’10 to 7’0″ with skills and unlimited range he’s better than James. That’s just my opinion.
When Kevin Durant scores, it looks effortless…He is impossible to stop…
When did the Celtics become the Cs?
3 Prong
I’m not fully committed to an opinion on Boise so I can agree on your view. It’s June. It’s humid. I’m not thinking clearly.
I like, the Spurs…the Celtics….the Heat….the Thunder. I just can’t make a decision on any favorite.
Good morning Tsaikos! Happy Hump Day!
Nice vids Mr. Blogmeister!
Nick West is such a character.
ST,
Past cpl days on espnu they’ve been dicussing anything bcs related; one thing jumped out is former AA-qb from Houston, and I don’t know why I keep forgetting his name…remarks that he thinks Houston made a big mistake moving to the BigEast. Saying basically those schools jumping to the Bigeast is short term at best froma financial stand point. (froma?…sorry my italian coming out). bwaahahaha!
Congrats to Matt Sisto! Might we see him someday on the same field as Mr. Victorino?
http://www.staradvertiser.com/news/breaking/157524185.html?id=157524185
A nail in the coffin would be for coach Peterson to accept an offer from a BCS school in any of the 4Big conferences…….den wat???can you say cooked potato??
I’d like to see OKC and the Heat in the Finals. Unfortunately, Miami seems to be self-sabotaging and may prevent that from happening.
Congrats to Branden Kaupe, drafted in the 4th round. Baldwin grad.
🙂
No surprise on Su’a Cravens choosing USC.
Kaupe did not strike out all season, batted over .500 and had other awesome stats.
http://www.mauinews.com/page/content.detail/id/561788/Mets-pick-Kaupe-in-draft-s-fourth-round.html?nav=11
Great photos, this is really an epic landscape and museums looks interesting as well. I would like to go and see it myself once.
How did Estefana know ST takes great photos?
Makes you wonder.
Mctruck, I think the former Houston QB that made those comments was Andre Ware.
The last member of the *Platters* has passed. Herb Reed has moved on to his own special “Twilight Time.”
RIP Mr. Reed, and thanks for the ‘Snuggle Bunny’ memories:

Good morning everyone!
“All Righty”… can ST get that trademarked? 🙂
…and that’s the way it was…
Here’s an interesting article about the MLB draft from the perspective of Scott Boras. He believes that the best players were not chosen at the top of the draft.
http://content.usatoday.com/communities/dailypitch/post/2012/06/scott-boras-mlb-draft-a-mockery/1
Darryl McBride looks like he’s been diligent in the weight room and eating healthy – dude has some guns and delts. Have a good and productive summer, warriors!
Did you mean “alright” or “all right”?
I think MLB needs to have a rule against drafting kids out of high school like the other major sports leagues. Far too many youngsters get lured to hopes of big dollars and pass up a college education and experience for a chance in the pros. What they find when they get there is a strong possibility that they will never see the big leagues and make mini-money playing minor league ball. They get forgotten and come home with nothing to fall back on. MLB consumes a lot of young men from a very young age. And when you think about how many of them actually make it to the big leagues . . . it is a shame.
I thought Koehler out of Saint Louis was supposed to be one of the top O-line prospects in the nation? Not good enough to make the top 300?
Based on his performance in the 2012 season, I think Almadova should return for his senior season next year and focus on a great 2013 to raise his draft stock. In the field he’s very accomplished. At the plate, he needs a lot of work yet. But, wishing him the best in whatever he does.
Matt Sisto and Breland Almadova selected on Day 3 of MLB Draft.

#76:
some sports person ranked Koehler as the #1 player at guard.
75. Kev-1 Absolutely agree.
I’m sure someone can make an argument otherwise with a few exceptions but, majority do fall into the predicament you describe.
ah, the Platters – one of my most favor groups during the “golden age” of rock ‘n roll.
saw them at the Civic in 1959 – you could hear a pin drop when they came of stage before their first song – we were sitting on the top most row on King St side
much to my ” I wish I had done it” list, I wanted to see them again when they were at the Sahara in Vegas, but ——————-.
IMHO, for pro baseball – forget it if you are not drafted in the first 2 rounds – IIRC, no UH player in the past 20 years has ever made it to the “big time” – Kolten is still in AA ball and he was a very high draft pick.
I agree with other who say pro-BB should not draft players until they have concluded their Jr year in college.
Apples and oranges. Because of the minor leagues, 18 year old kids can climb the ladder, if they had to try and make the bigs right away, that would be different. A lot of kids wouldn’t qualify to play right away at a 4 year school. Deny them the right to try and play pro ball just because they don’t have grades or test scores?
I think if a player had to wait until after junior year, there would be a sharp decline in the number of international players, particularly from the Dominican Republic and Venezuela.
“Estefana” would be my drag-queen name, if I were a drag queen.
ST- from now on you should make all your responses on the blog as video clips of you, instead.
Just because, you can.
Hawaiian@ #86 –
Then it would only be a matter of time before he was snatched away by some big time sports network… the total package!
Hey guys, root for my bro in WSOP heads up event. 16 players left, his name is Amritraj Singh…

For those that did not know:
“In the early 1960s, the Major League Baseball Clubs established the Professional Baseball Scholarship Plan (the “Plan”) to help baseball players further their college educations. Many players enter the Major or Minor Leagues before starting or completing their college educations. The Plan has been successful in assisting and motivating players to further their scholastic careers.”

Anyone know why Hawaii decided not to join Utah in their suit against the BCS?
Another shanked punt.
BCS suit:
Money? Manpower?
A House, What Maimi, is Hawaiian for Florida?
91.
Pure speculation:
-Nomo Kala.
-The whole process may be moot. The BCS is in the process of cleaning up itself.
-Any chance to garner compensation would heavily weigh against Hawaii and Utah.
These former basebows played in MLB (last 20 years):
Larry Gonzales – debut 06-13-1993
Scott Karl – debut 05-04-1995
Mark Johnson – debut 04-07-2000
Jay Spurgeon – debut 08-15-2000
Dusty Bergman – debut 06-09-2004
Since I’m in a inquisitive mood, why does the Star Advertiser archive its TV & Radio listing guide?

Nice vids.
Blog is sure loading slowly. Anyone else having that issue?
Yep.Not only slow also getting a different looking version.
Frustrating.
Tsai-ko blog.
Tsigh.
Not sure who Drew Wolitarsky is, but 1) he has his own fan page on Facebook, and 2) he received offers from both Hawaii and Nevada.
Chow vs. Rolo.
Oh, it is on.
It took me five minutes to get onto the blog.
I was going to do the diva routine: Do you know who I am? Do you?
But, alas, the cable server does what it pleases.
And let us not forget C.C. Sabathia and Shane Victorino were recruits.
Sabathia was going to be a tight end.
Mcbride lookin swole aint he?
BIK
Allrighty then, ST, Greeeasaat videos. I don’t know exactly why, but
I hear you need to try a GREEN SCREEN, too…after all, you write for UH…
So head to fabric mart and buy two or three yards of green or Fishers Hawaii
and buy some large green poster boards…and then google you tube how-to-green-screen…
🙄
Guess you can put yourself into Aloha stadium or in secret workouts without actually
being there.
Awesome!
Mr. Tsai has spoken and the minions have quickly acceded to his command.
As it was said. As it shall be.
All hail The Tsai!
Alrighty!
Alrighty!

Dang. Long day.

Something like this ST:

ST #106 Receiver from Canyon County-Canyon High School, CA 6’2″ 260
Has two stars from some recruiting service.
Football gives full scholarships.
Basketball gives full scholarships.
Baseball gives 11.7 scholarships to be split among the entire team. Most players only get something like a 1/4 scholarship. Forbidding baseball players from going straight to the pros means that poor players wouldn’t be able to afford to continue their baseball career.
Baseball cannot switch to full scholarships due to Title IX considerations. There is no way the numbers would work out.
#106 – Drew Wolitarsky – plenty stuff on GOOG.

i got drew w. as a 6’3″ 200lb wr and a three star #72 rated.
scout.com has this to say…
“As a 2011 junior, had 1,643 yards on 70 receptions and 19 touchdowns. Currently ranks third all-time in receiving yards in California.
During his 2010 sophomore season, had 77 receptions for 1,472 yards, a school receiver. Earned First Team All-League, First Team All-CIF, First Team All-Underclass and First Team All-SuperSoph.
As a 2009 freshman at Canyon Country (Calif.) Canyon, through nine games on varsity, had 38 receptions for 750 yards and six touchdowns, the leading freshman receiver in California.

Drew Wolitarsky – plenty stuff on GOOG.
oops sorry aiesoos.
some say he’s 210 lbs. looks like an h-back or possibly could grow into a tight end.
looks like a big greg salas at times with his hands, routes, and toughness.
Utah is now part of the PAC 12. Why are they continuing the suit against the BCS? Doesn’t make sense for Hawaii to pursue. Time to move on.
#125 not to worry – posted the same stuff earlier, but they were smu’d.
Bleed: Maybe they are trying to collect full BCS automatic qualifying level retroactive payouts from their successful seasons of the past, instead of of the reduced amount they actually received.
#129, 131, I’m not sure but I think its Utah State so maybe even the state of Utah.
Coach Beeman came across nicely on the Leahy and Leahy show.. Exciting times, first up, Baylor and Stanford in the first tournament, followed by Oregon and Oklahoma the following week.
She said fans should come out to watch the team, and look beyond the play of Baylor, etc and watch how hard our girls compete and how fundamentally sound they play. She didn’t down play the lack of recruiting budget, she said she will sell the program as one that can compete in the Big West and win the automatic qualifier to the NCAA tournament, and if the recruit wants a chance to get into the NCAA tournament, UH is an option.
Bama beats Oklahoma and Ricketts, 5-4 final.
Why can’t we have a true college football playoff system? The “final four” proposal sucks. And so does the “and 1” proposal. I want nothing less than a true playoff where conference champions and a few “at larges” get invited to the big college football dance.
I’ll keep dreaming.
BIK
Ppj2: Aren’t Utah and Utah State both public institutions funded by the state of Utah? I think that’s why their AG is filing the suit. I think we’re on the same page here?
Garth Brooks has a song called “Thunder Rolls”. Well, the Oklahoma City Thunder are on a roll for sure. Durant is the best. You can tell the Spurs were an excellent outfit with class, but OKC was just better. James Harden and Serge Ibaka are only 22, Durant and Westbrook are both 23, Eric Maynor (injured) is 24, Sefalosha is 28, Perkins is 27, Daquen Cook is 25, Collison is 30 and the old man Derek Fisher is 37 and giving lots of experience and leadership. Obviously, the youngest team in the NBA and also the best team too. If they keep their core players I can see them winning multiple NBA championships easily.
The sickest team must be the Portland TrailBlazers. They could have had Kevin Durant but they took Greg Oden who can’t keep healthy. Not surprising. The Blazers are famous for making bad picks. They took Sam Bowie when they could have gotten Michael Jordan. The Seattle Supersonics are also feeling sick too. Their franchise relocated to OKC.
You have to wonder if Lebron James decided to choose the Chicago Bulls instead of Miami. He might have won an NBA title last year with the Bulls, and probably this year too. Let’s face it, Miami Heat fans are not rabid fans like some other cities.
BIK,
Can. 7 conference games and a 128 team playoff by region and seeded by computer. Everyone gets 14 games.
