"Heal-Up Week"
Coach Norm Chow has declared this “Heal-Up Week” with concise practices and more rest for the ailing Warriors.
Yesterday’s ailing list included middle linebacker Benneton Fonua, who has strained knee, and right tackle Sean Shigematsu, who was in a medical boot because of a sprained right ankle. Later, guard Ben Dew was carted off after aggravating a leg injury. Until the injury, the second-unit offensive line was: LT Jordan Loeffler, LG Dew, C Kody Afusia, RG Frank Loyd and RT Kapua Sai.
There is optimism that running back Joey Iosefa and weak-side linebacker Art Laurel might be available for the Colorado State game next week.
If not, there is an interesting Plan B: Fullback Jared Leaf has been getting reps at running back. For a big guy (239 pounds), he’s surprisingly agile and a very consistent receiver.
* * * * *
Keith Uperesa leaves today to recruit in American Samoa.
One of his stops will be with Penitito Faalologo, who is expected to join the Warriors in January. Faalologo originally signed in February 2011, but delayed enrolling because of a family situation. He then further delayed his UH start while addressing some academic concerns.
* * * * * *
Sad to learn of the passing of former Warrior Shephard Killen, a great guy who left us too soon.

Don’t forget to check out former Rainbow Wahine softball player Kate Robinson’s softball clinics next week.
Here’s the link: Robinson clinics.

Happy birthday to the lovely and energetic Jessica Owens Reid.
Also birthday wishes to Eddie Klaneski.

R.I.P. Sylvia Kristel. Sad. Ironic thing is that there IS a film in the series called Goodbye Emmanuelle [emphasis a Grease’s] (1977) and . . . if a Grease is not mistaken, the series still continues after that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Emmanuelle IV (1984). Ahem. If the series had Emmanuelle marry a man with the last name “Lewis,” uh, she might have some . . . you know . . . people laughing at . . . and there’d be problems with the legend . . . and . . . um . . . anyway, for reals, R.I.P. actress Sylvia Kristel.
Condolences to the ohana of Warrior Shephard Killen.
so we are close to getting Josh Long. is he even impressive?

Let’s give Leaf a chance, big and quick .
Hau’oli lā hānau to Jessica & Eddie!
Condolences very sad
Heal up guys!
A Grease will pray the Rosary for our own wounded Warriors. Heal fast, fellas. 🙂
I must say, Leaf was really impressive yesterday.
He’s definitely a north-south runner, but he does have some moves.
Gee, sad there are so many injured Warriors. Glad this is Heal Up week. Well deserved rest for both players and coaches!
Good luck to Uperesa in Samoa.
Hope the vibes on the Warrior Beat blog today are positive ones! Too much negativity lately.
R.I.P. also to Shephard Killen
Happy birthday to Jessica Owens Reid and to Eddie Klaneski, as well.
Gigi:
I don’t mind the grumpiness. It’s the same bitching that’s irritating. Some people need to buy a pet. Or would that be animal cruelty?
ST: the same people would kick their dog!!!
Top 10/list the common ones. ‘Tis your blog, Mr. 🙂
# # #
I don’t care if people are critical. But there are two people (one?) who says the same freakin’ thing every day. I feel like I’m working at the DMV.
This schedule is throwing me off. I feel like we are either just finishing training camp or that the season is almost over. I just don’t feel like we are smack dab in the middle of UH football.
ST, is the schedule for next year done? Is it posted anywhere?
By the way, I thought it was amusing somebody saying Chow has a low-key approach.
Now Mack, Rolo and Aranda had low-key approaches.
Chow is not the quiet type.
GOOD MORNING HAWAII!
Heal Up Guys!
Today’s meeting of the Regents should be interesting.
JD has been working at his new job for a few weeks now. Wonder if the attorneys on the BOR and its staff attorneys heard of the concept of “quasi-contract”?
Will-I-Am:
There is an outline of a schedule: Four non-conference games, it shows. It looks like those games are Aug. 31, then three in November/December. So there’s a 10-week puka to place the MWC games. I hope, at least, it’s home, away, home, away …
One home game in seven weeks just doesn’t cut it.
Thougt I saw Oregon State on the schedule, too.
ST, last week I thought you said Josh Long wasn’t the TE UH was after. Now it changed?
Whoops, my bad. There are five non-conference games:
Aug. 31 — USC
Sept. 7 — At Oregon State
Nov. 9 — At Navy
Nov. 30 — Army
Dec. 7 — BYU
Non-conference 2013 schedule
http://hawaiiathletics.com/schedule.aspx?schedule=3925&path=football
Looks like Hawaii making a strong push at 6-4 juco WR Joe Morris. Could be that big play guy we been missing past few years.
Jeezy:
Yep. Now it’s changed. He is a person of interest.
Jeezy:
They’re going after some tall receivers but they’re still trying to figure out the numbers. There might be some room if some guys graduate on schedule.
By the way, who made next year’s schedule?
Annapolis in November?
Mr. Tsai:
Any word on Florida recruiting? “I feel the need, the need for speed!”
UH also has to go on the road to Nevada.
Not sure if Wyoming comes back into play when they do the switch off: Boise/SDS for Utah State/SJSU.
AlaWai
The intent is to go get more Florida speedsters.
But I think they also would like to bring back a pass-rusher from there, too. We’ll see what happens. Demo is a very persuasive guy.
Did not know Wahine bballer Kamilah Jackson got married and is now Kamilah Martin.
Heard an ESPN 1420 AM commercial for the bows and thought they made a name boo boo.
they should go after Morris teammate, Jaelen Strong.
Heh. A Grease doesn’t know if he could say “next in line, please” hundreds of times a day. Dunno if a Grease could tolerate that PING!!!!!! and red light from the “next in line” DMV machine either.
A Grease’s film festival picks playing over the next few days during this bye week 😉 :
ABCs of Death (not meaning to disrespect any recent deceased; this IS quite a film, composed of 26 shorts, a Grease believes)
Charles Bradley: Soul of America. Film on James Brown tributian.
The Castle of Crossed Destinies. HIFF’s obligatory samurai/chambara film of the season. This one has alternate history-isms.
Horror Stories. South Korea. Three (3) horror stories.
The Other Side of the Mountain. If you want to see what a North Korean movie looks like[!]
Dangerous Liaisons. Same movie, different time (1930s) and land (China/Hong Kong).
These are just SOME of the movies a Grease has already seen or will see.
It’s a bye week. Go to the festival 🙂
# # #
ST-Annapolis in early November isn’t always a bad thing. It is usually still early fall with warmish days (low 70s) and brisk nights. Then again it has snowed on Veterans’ Day. Still better than Annapolis in September when the humidity and temperature run in the 90s.
NYU? Never heard of a football team at NYU> What division are they?
any of the coaches goin AZ this week?
Oops. Good morning everybody.
Mrs. SB:
I was thinking more of the timing. Well, maybe, their MWC schedule will be over.
My dad got a degree from NYU.
Low 70’s is coooold for Hawaii folks.
ST #39, Did your dad play football there? :))
Uh, no. He was a CPA.
Aloha Chicken Grease: While on the subject of films, do you remember “The Seven Faces of Dr. Lao?” I believe we are now seeing the evolution of “The Seven Phases of Dr. Chow.”
I was suggested this blog by means of my cousin. I’m no longer certain whether or not this post is written by means of him as nobody else know such specified about my trouble. You’re incredible! Thank you!
Good east coast school. Not bogged down with the political biasness of some other schools near that side of the nation. Good law school there.
ST – are you serious about NYU on the schedule? They are (or were) a Division III football team – the Violets (and people scream about our Rainbows?)
Took some classes there down at the Village.
ST – I looked at the schedule – I think you meant “BYU” not “NYU”.
The B is right next to N on the Querty keyboard.
OK, now I see what everybody was talking about.
Sorry, I’ve had a little arthritis problem lately, so I mis-typed.
It’s BYU.
I’m going to timeout now.
I think NYU is actually BYU…i think it was a typo
Good morning Tsaikos!!!
Hope all have a great day today!!!
Condolences to the family of Shephard Killen, may he rest in peace.
Happy birthday to all the birthday peeps!!!
Heh, haven’t heard of the “Dr. Lao” film to which you refer; I will go look for it, however, and wtch.
Ah, ah, yes, though. I like the “seven phases . . . Dr. Chow” angle. Indeed, Alawai. 🙂
ST-Okay, I see what you mean by timing. It will be interesting to see what kind of schedule MWC gives us next year especially since there are 5 out of conference games already scheduled. By the way, isn’t the game on 12/7 BYU?
Yep. It was a typo.
That’s what happens when the B and N keys are near each other.
And for future reference, I meant to say if, ands or buts.
So I think it maybe the first time we play Army, Navy and Air Force in the same year. I love it. I have always thought that we should haver created our own conference with those teams.
I do appreciate how everyone is so polite to the old-fart host and they sort of hint there might be an error instead of saying: Hey, dufus, you typed “NYU” instead of “BYU.”
Whatever happened to SubPac? Remember when they used to play in the Rainbow Classic?
ST & Tsaiko Blog Dogs:
Hey, what’s wrong with playing the Violets? Oops, typo should be Violins! LOL
Interesting article regarding beer sales at college games and the problems that arise with it.
http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2011/09/19/Colleges/Beer.aspx
ST:
SubPac is still around, they have basketball on an intramural level if they can get enough guys who are not deployed. It was the late Chuck Leahy who brought them in….we didn’t have major conflicts in those days. Those were the good old days, I guess.
I like it!
ug. 31 — USC
Sept. 7 — At Oregon State
Nov. 9 — At Navy
Nov. 30 — Army
Dec. 7 — BYU
Playing the military teams in Hawaii makes sense. We probably have the most bases per square miles in the U.S.
BYU, USC, Oregon state are fun games too.
Excellent site. Lots of useful info here. I’m sending it to several pals ans additionally sharing in delicious. And certainly, thanks to your sweat!
The annual banquet will be a luau this year. It will be on December 2nd at UH.
For more information: http://nakoa.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=3037&action=edit&message=6
The end of the season awards banquet has now turned into a luau. Cost is half of what it used to be when held at the hotel. I hope to see many of you there to support the players.
http://www.nakoa.org/2012/10/alec-waterhouse-football-awards-luau-set-for-december-2nd/
Thanks Mike!
Great Morning All!
Aloha to the Killen Ohana. RIP.
Happy Birthday Jessica Owens Reid and Eddie Klaneski!
Hawaii could end up winning the CIC Trophy!
Hmmm…
@UNLV on 11/2? If Panda or Boyd have anything to do with it….
Thanks Stretch for correcting the link.
The awards luau info link is:
http://www.nakoa.org/2012/10/alec-waterhouse-football-awards-luau-set-for-december-2nd/
Re #63 & #64 – good job, Mike and Stretch. Download that flyer and let’s see you all on December 2nd celebrating the year and looking forward to the next. It’ll be an awesome celebration of our Warriors.
I am LIKING those roadgames next year…wineries in Oregon and fall colors in Maryland!!!
ST: I believe Jim Leahy would have a lot of info on Subpac basketball. The coach Kiyoshi Matsuo was a three sport athlete at UH in the late 40’s along with Johnny Dang, Dick Mamiya, Harry Kahuanui and Jimmy Asato. Subpac had some good players that played in the NBA and coached at high levels. Notably, Bob Gaillard (USF), Tom Newell, Pete Newell Jr. etc. Subpac played in the developmental years of the Rainbow Classic at the then HIC.
Thanks Stretch and Mike!!!
PP,
Can you say, Pinot Noir!
Good morning everyone!
Healing thoughts for the wounded Warriors!
Waiting for today’s real-life soap opera to unfold: “As Bachman Hall Turns”…
ST, I reaally thought that the way the conference playoffs are now days, that we were kind of forced to play NYU at the end of the year. It may come to that in the near future instead of the days where we would play Nebraska, Oklahoma, USC, etc.. This year’s schedule includes South Alabama for our end of the season “big game.” Lucky we got BYU for the last game next year. Anybody got our future “last game of the year” schedule?
I remember a big name NBA star played for or in the league that Subpac played in. I could be mistaken on the name but wasn’t it Dave Debussure (sp)? Obviously I don’t know how to spell his last name (pst), but the person that I am thinking of also was a big time Senator.
pst=public skoo ting.
papajoe that player would have been Terry Dischinger who played for the Army.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Dischinger
Thanks Ala Wai. I used to watch some of those games at Block Arena. Bringing back memories. The Hawaii Marines were always a very competitive team. I used to also watch the state amatuer boxing championships or golden gloves championships there too. The military was very good but in most cases the local boys would win out.
Thanks for the news on Shep ST. He was one of the really good guys. Through 10 years of doing the Dick Tomey Show I was fortunate to call many of the guys a friend. And some like Sheppard, Joe Nobles, and Tom McCarthy were even kind enough to make my wedding. Shep was called Mr. Aloha for his acquired penchant of wearing aloha shirts on Fridays and had a personality that just sparkled with life. Aloha Shep, you were one of the really good guys to come through the program and will be missed by those you touched. Condolences and heart felt aloha to the Killen family.
Speaking of long time ago, the younger generation today probably didn’t know or can’t imagine that athletes in college weren’t allowed to play as freshmen. There were a lot of JV teams back then. UH football even had a JV team and played teams from the military or even the old Hawaii Football League, and at times would play a visiting team from Japan. I remember Lew Alcindor’s (later changed his name to Kareem Abdul Jabbar) JV team at UCLA, beat the varsity, who was either a defending NCAA champion or won it that year.
d1, yes definitely. I haven’t been to Oregon on vacay since my brother’s graduation from University of Nike 12 years ago….I am ready to go back.
Heartfelt condolences to the Killen ‘ohana. Those teams back then were so fun to watch.
See what we blog about when there is a bye week? Gotta get some Warrior football going.
Condolences to the Killen ohana.
R.I.P. Shephard. Aloha.
Oh Oh….Pinot Noir, Stretch, PP, and ST makes for an exciting trip!!! LOL
Condolences and prayers to the Killen ohana.
OIA Red football playoffs continue tomorrow.
RIP Shephard Killen and condolences to his family. I remember him catching a 2-point conversion back in 83 (?) that won the game for UH against UTEP. He was a good athlete who was recruited as a WR, but grew into a TE, if I’m not mistaken.
Would be nice to have Iosefa back in the lineup this coming game. Gregory is doing a decent job but I like guys who can just pound. After this week of rest the team needs to seriously get into ass whooping mode like for real. We are facing some bottom dwellers that should be easy wins if the team can get their ish together. CSU, UNLV, South Alabama, I mean if we cannot get these W’s then well, what is there to say??? Hope the defense can learn to stop the run against UNLV, cause if not John Hardy-Tuliau’s teammate from high school is going to tear up the defense… Bradley Randle!
Great points altogether, you simply won a brand new reader. What would you recommend about your put up that you made a few days ago? Any positive?
This paragraph will assist the internet viewers for building up new blog or even a blog from start to end.
Just wondering if the target is to go after tall receivers why aren’t we using some of the guys on the roster. Like where is Cecil Doe? Isn’t he like 6’3″?… I’m sure him lined up with Darius Bright could be good in redzone situations…no???
I don’t get why everyone thinks Cecil Doe and Darius Bright are supposed to be good just because of the height.
Fans need to realize that neither produced much in JC and weren’t really recruited by anyone.
We kind of took a risk on upside and so far hasn’t paid off much.
aloha oe shep!
just yesterday we were remembering your talents as a person of kindness.
I know its a little early for game hype but looking forward to meeting some of you in Fort Collins next week. Could be more Hawaii fans at the game than CSU fans. Dress warm, already had one snow.
RIP Shephard Killen
to be a good receiver you must first be able to receive/catch the ball.
then, you must run proper routes and be able to recognize coverages to make the proper adjustments.
if not, then you sit.
It doesn’t matter if you are a tall receiver and cannot catch the ball. Doe and Bright both played this past game. Their size looks good on the field but I think both dropped balls. I think if they can hang on to the ball then they will really help the Warriors. Imua!
Nothing like holding on to your….
nvm 😳
upon watching the leahey and leahey show…perhaps mike lafaele would make for a great grad assistant or something for the warriors.
i think he could inspire.
his very candid interview did hit the nail on the nose several times.
jeezy, I think both receivers came from programs that rarely passed the ball. We did take a chance on them. Doe looked good in the last game but I think he couldn’t hang on to the pass. al is right, you also have to run the proper routes too. I don’t go to practices and don’t have their playbook, so I wouldn’t know about that. I just rely on people who I trust and does go to practices.
al: best receiver on the team then?
But boy did those 2 receivers get plenty hype when they were recruited. Too bad it didn’t work out as expected.
Shux…

ST & Tsaiko Blog Dogs,
For those who wonder about SubPac and the other Military teams in the salad years of the Rainbow Classic, the reason why the military had good college and pro type players was the Selected Service Agency. Every young male in America over 18 had to serve unless you had a classification of 4F. If you did not enlist, you were drafted…not by the NBA obviously, but by Uncle Sam. Two years of free training, housing, food, and clothes. Plus they gave you enough money to catch a bus! Of course, Elvis was the exception!
You would think being a JuCo transfer they would’ve played more but I guess not. Thanks for stating the obvious though of a receiver having to be able to catch and all that, sorry I was clueless that’s what they had to do in order to see playing time how silly of me. Besides no one said anything about Doe or Bright being good because of their height. Seems pretty odd that these guys playing D1 football can’t catch, run routes, etc…man who the frikk recruited them and actually thought they were good enough… Regardless, I think every receiver so far has dropped balls. The ones that get me which stand out are guys like Miah who are supposedly sure handed…
#103,
It’s funny how every player gets hyped up when they are recruited here. Then when they don’t produce as expected the ones who hyped them up are the same ones who blame the recruiting efforts and bad talent levels, etc…so hypocritical.
@Annoddah Dave
I don’t recall every male over 18 had to serve. I do remember that men between the ages of 18 and 26 be required to register for the draft. I think even in WWII it was a lottery but you still had to register. I can’t remember all of my Social Studies lectures.
Annoddah Dave:
There were other classifications as well..
1-O (Concienscious Objector – most went the Civil Service route or became ministers)
4-D (Deferred status – could be for any number of years between until the age of 27)
Oops.. Conscientious
@Pauoa Boy
It’s in our nature. We see the vids, the physical traits, the stats, and we get all worked up. It makes good coffee table conversation for some and bar room enthusiasm for many. I get caught up in the hype too. Can’t deny that.
But the bottom line is the live on-field performance against your opposite counterparts. You either dominate or be dominated.
Fun to have the hypocritical opinions. Shows the passion of individuals. Also makes for entertaining reading.
Recruiting is not an exact science, sometimes work out, sometimes bust. But somehow, plenty teams get PhD’s as recruiters, like the SEC.
i was never hyped about Bright. i questioned his recruitment bc he didnt produce at CCSF, but everyone kept sayin NFL potential. same w Brandon Leslie, questioned why he didnt produce at COS. but everyone was hyped on him bc he had lots of stars and went GaTech.
Too bad we couldn’t get Stevue Johnson’s younger bro Dre Lewis…He’s a Utah Commit who’s tearing it up right now in JC’s…
Plus, we only human, can’t expect 100% efficiency from every player on every play. Drops happen, miss blocks happen, turnover happens, penalties happen, breakdowns happen. But one thing that sucks is the timing of the miscues and the number of miscues. Just need to minimize them.
I’ll let the coaches and players figure that out.
GO WARRIORS!
Good Morning!
Get well wounded Warriors!
Best of fortune to coaches on their recruit efforts!
Sorry to hear of the passing of former Warrior Shephard Killen. Condolences to his family.
LOL, just read the BOR report on the Wonder Blunder is not ready. So what else is new? Figures. And they spend $50k for assistance. Money does grow on trees in upper campus.
Re: Some local boys,
from staradvertiser on 10-27-12,
UNLV senior linebacker John Lotulelei (Baldwin ’09) had a career-high 19 tackles, including 11 solo stops, in a 42-37 loss to Nevada on Saturday. >>
Western Oregon quarterback Cody vonAppen (Kalaheo ’08) was 16-for-27 for 424 yards and four touchdowns and led the Wolves to a school-record 696 total yards in a 66-20 win over Dixie State on Saturday.
Sophomore Trey Shimabukuro (Kauai ’11) threw a 22-yard touchdown pass and receiver
Lucas Gonsalves (Saint Louis ’09) had three catches for 25 yards and
returned four kickoffs for 74 yards. >>
Seems like Hawaii, over the years, went the JC route. I think more DON’T make it than do. A lot of them drop out or just cannot make the speed of the D1 football game, although they look good in JC. I don’t know how, but can someone look up how many football players from the JC ranks actually have significant playing time and graduate from UH football in the past or even in the past few years. I recall a few years ago that many JC players were not on the roster at UH toward the end of their supposedly career. I don’t know what year it was but it might have been 10 years or so ago or even longer.
111,
I still think regardless if the player blossoms into a star or not he could be used somewhere on the team. Especially a JuCo guy, who is normally recruited to help out immediately. Recruiting is a tough cookie though as far as evaluating talent. There is always that kid who is good that blossoms into great. There are others who were great that fade into obscurity. Unless were recruiting obvious beasts like a Julio Jones type player, or say a Manti Te’o, you will never know huh…
I you haven’t seen it already, I typed in PBS Hawaii, clicked on programs, clicked on local programs and clicked on Leahey and Leahey Show. I got the last show with Lafaele as a guest. It was kind of brutal and sad at the same time before Lafaele came on. Lafaele talked about the lack of emotion of the Warriors. Very interesting show. Maybe the players are afraid of showing emotion with Coach Chow at the helm.
@papajoe2
Aren’t you retired? You can look it up and report back to us.
@Pauoa Boy
Yeah, that’s why I said it’s not an exact science. My hopes would be, like you said, that they blossom into great. I take the good with the bad. At least the kid is getting an education and hopefully be successful after his playing days are over.
Different eras. Lafaele played on an emotional team and environment.
This team is different, could be the coaches, could be the players, I don’t know.
Emotion isn’t everything. You don’t have to show emotion on your sleeves to play with passion.
Its wasn’t that long ago when people flipped out EARLY in McMackin’s tenure that they questioned the purpose of the haka saying that “too much energy” was spent doing it and practicing it.
What? Is that the Detroit Tigers busting out the brooms? Bring the dustpan too.
i guess Demo just offered LB George Williams from Florida.
Heavenly Consolation to the Killen Ohana.
Happy Birthday Jessica and Eddie!
Healing Energy to our WARRIORS!!!
#27:
weather in Baltimore area should be real nice in November!!
Looking forward to see Jared Leaf get his touches.
All of us who saw his recruiting tape knew that he was special. Great speed for a big kid. And he could lay da smack down on defense too! You might even see him break one off at RB.
BIK
Everyone talks about the legendary New York Yankees uniform (they’re a Grease’s team, too) . . . but, Detroit’s own is just as classic. And it looks like they’re gonna be able to show it off in World Series play. 🙁
alot of jc players in the bullpen but the coaches did’nt give them a shot.
Seletive Service:
at age 18, all young men had to register with their local draft board.
then, you can volunteer or wait for the draft or get a college deferment or 4F for whatever reason.
saw a lot of the 4Fs being drafted during Nam and it was difficult to run a “company” with so many of them – give the NCOs credit for doing a magnificient job in getting them up to speed – enough that they contributed to our successes.
with the “mordern Army/Navy/Air Force/Marines/Coast Guard, technology “drives the train” – saw the “changing of the guard” as I left the Army in 1968 with the new weapon systems being developed with required “high tech” training – even the basic soldier had new weapons, radios, etc which needed a higher level of intelligence/training for success. The days of Gen Custer were over.
was nice to see AnnoddahDave and CRW!
Current teams lack of emotion is due to changes made by Coach Chow and staff.
IMHO, was energy if Haka done properly before kickoff. Also sets a lack of emotion to come out with arms linked together.
Would rather they just buckoose when they come out. At least it would get the players and fans blood pumping. But that’s only my personal opinion.
Hawaii offers DB Barry Higdon out of Florida. 6-2 180 with offers from Toledo, Bowling Green, and Akron.
Pretty great post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I’ve truly enjoyed surfing around your blog posts. In any case I will be subscribing in your feed and I hope you write once more soon!
You already know therefore significantly in the case of this matter, produced me personally believe it from numerous various angles. Its like women and men aren’t fascinated unless it’s something to accomplish with Lady gaga! Your personal stuffs nice. At all times deal with it up!
133. funny how chow doesn’t understand his team’s slow starts when he has the team come out in a slow walk, arm in arms, no emotions, no pre-game speech etc… everything chow does in pre-game is geared to a slow unemotional build-up.
Imagine if chow was william wallace sending out his guys to do some real fighting—chow’s boyz would get slaughtered.
wake the heck-up coach, this ‘aint USC!!!!
I’ll right away clutch your rss as I can’t to find your email subscription hyperlink or newsletter service. Do you’ve any? Kindly let me realize so that I may subscribe. Thanks.
A-House no forget how the courts used the military back then to clear out their jails. I had one drug dealer in boot who told me the judge offered him prison or 6 years in the Army. His specialty at the time was going to be maintaining misslies.
# 138 — you’ll clutch a Grease’s what????? [a Grease faints.]
William Wallace for HC!
RedZone:
#139 – how can I forget the ones you described coming into the unit and causing a stir – some actually got others to do some not so nice things and they got court martialed and on to Leavenworth, KS
those were interesting times for the military and civilians alike!
R.I.P. Shep….After his playing days we used to meet at Wisteria to watch Monday Night Football. Great guy who will be missed.
141. that’s funny! lol
LizK:
do you want the Scotish people to riled up for UH football?
Notre Dame students/admin types may not look kindly on UH for “encroachment” at the line of scrimmage!!!
Thanks jeezy33 for the offer updates.
A-House I graduated the year after you got out and got caught up in the lottery. My choices ended up being school, service or Canada. The first year my lottery number was 29. The second year my number was 19 but I had already chose to join. While in boot camp I got my draft notice which my dad mailed to me saying that they were looking for me. I took it to my CO and told him I had to go home because they were looking for me. He laughed took the notice and told me that he would take care of it. Then me made me stand on his desk yell airbourne and jump off.
Sweep, sweep, sweep, sweep.
# 141, hahahah, LizKauai. Good excuse for the Warriors to wear dark green, silver, and black facepaint on their face, under their helmets.
The Wallace Monument is something. Lo’ o’ tributes ehn his hohmeland, laddy!
At 1:36 p.m., Ka Leo received a tip that a man is threatening his girlfriend with his gun nearby the UH Manoa lower campus. Police have closed off the surrounding area.
Ka Leo will continue to provide updates as the story develops.
Thanks for this, Kevin.
So it comes to Manoa campus . . . good thing they got the news out.
Saw it a minute before I posted it here and that news was only 11 seconds old.
Still no exact location other than “near lower campus”.
If I recall correctly William Wallace kept his team in a tight united formation then…mooned the opposition. Yellow flags flew out and unsportsmanlike penalties ensued. Wallace’s then got their butts kicked!
Heh. Detrotian there, Jimmy the lock? Ah. That town could use a booster right now. Could their win/sweep be an Obama ploy? Make voters focus on the auto’ industry (Detroit) vs. Wall St. (New York) going into November? 🙂
ST are the coaches still pursuing the Latu twins from Cali?
Hmmmm…supposed to go volleyball tonight…
I wonder if there were some Bronco fans wishing at halftime that Peyton would tuck it and run more?

latu twins committed to ASU if that answers your question
Happy Birthday Wishes to Jessica Owens Reid!
Thanks a bunch for sharing this with all folks you really recognise what you’re talking approximately! Bookmarked. Kindly also discuss with my website =). We may have a link alternate agreement among us
Happy Birthday Wishes to former Warrior Eddie Klaneski!
Pierce LB Matthew Lyons offered by Hawaii… Looks like he has Nevada offer too.. Signed with UDUB out of high school.
@Chicken Grease
I’m a softcore Yankee fan, but also good to see the Tigers and their Triple Crown winner move on. Don’t think it’s an Obama ploy since government already helped GM and Chrysler. 😉
any word on which Big 10 team we are playing in 2016 yet???
# 163, hai, hai, Jimmy, a Grease just saying as a “ploy” to remind voters of that assistance to both companies. Outlandish, a Grease knows, heh.
Yeah . . . agree good to see team w/3crown winner go into the World Series.
Per Ferd Lewis on Twitter:
“To boost attendance, UH said it will launch a “Student Rewards” program Nov 1st for students that attend athletic events.
Howzit Tsai-kos!!
PP – I think Nov is a little late for fall colors. Trees probably gonna be bare by. 11/9.
Oh yeah… that’s right.. they lost…
Never mind 😈
Useful info. Fortunate me I discovered your website accidentally, and I’m shocked why this accident didn’t happened in advance! I bookmarked it.
And the oline got flagged because WW kept saying “hold… hold… hold…”
@Chicken Grease
No forget, as if you would, that Detroit has the 2011 Cy Young winner too.
“Attend 5 UH-Manoa sporting events and receive an ‘A’ for the class of your choice (must be currently enrolled in the course ‘A’ grade allots to).”
GO WAHINE!
# 171 . . . Jimmy the lock; MLB Network should hire you 🙂 . Great detail from you.
Incentive? I guess 2 tacos for 2 touchdowns isn’t enough.
Its such as you learn my thoughts! You seem to understand so much approximately this, like you wrote the ebook in it or something. I think that you just could do with a few percent to force the message home a little bit, however instead of that, this is magnificent blog. A great read. I will certainly be back.
Norm Chow is to Hawaii what Charlie Weis was to Notre Dame and now Kansas.
Weis was 9-3 his first season with Notre Dame though he did lose the bowl game.
Second season he was 10-3 but also lost a bowl game.
Next 3 seasons weren’t so hot.
But he did come to Hawaii and beat the Warriors in a bowl game.
Coach Chow should recruit BB player Isaac Fotu. Remember Coach Jones did the same thing with BB players with success. Fotu is 6’7″ with a rugby background. Can you say defensive end.
That is very fascinating, You’re a very professional blogger. I’ve joined your rss feed and stay up for looking for extra of your magnificent post. Additionally, I have shared your site in my social networks
American Health Journal is trying to find webmasters in the health field for content based partnerships. AmericanHealthJournal is a health site with over three thousand high quality videos featuring real doctors. If this interests you, please fill our contact form.
Weis beat UH-M in Aloha Bowl appearance. Don’t know if the analogy is correct.
With the 2″ rule Fotu is at least 6’9″. Or maybe he is a legit 6’9″ now and that would make him 6’11”. Stay in basketball. Gibb needs a banger.
Per Hawaii Athletics.com:
Just throwing out a guess number of games from now until the end of the spring season in those sports mentioned. Let’s say there are 18 home games for mens and womens basketball making it 36 total, then 15 home games for mens volleyball, and 30 home games for baseball. Total is 81 home games.
What if 500 students attended all 81 games??? 😯
He’s actually 7.0 if you count da hair.
Somebody necessarily assist to make significantly posts I might state. That is the first time I frequented your website page and to this point? I surprised with the research you made to create this actual put up incredible. Great job!
Looks like we need alot of help on the offensive and defensive side of the ball with these next recruiting classes… This is what we have on the roster currently for next season…
QB’s: Schroeder, Shutter = Seniors
Graham, Higgins = Juniors
Woolsey = Sophomore

From what I see, we need bodies at every position just about. I hope Coaches are relentless in their efforts of getting top notch talent with high character.
Per ST on Twitter:
@StephenTsai: First scrap of the year. Star-Advertiser scores it 10-8 in favor of Darius Bright over Darryl McBride.
Before anyone says anything, players got into scuffles during McMackin and Jones’ tenures as well.
10-8 score is like a knockdown or complete domination.
Not so excited about the incoming freshman. Chances of any incoming freshman contributing immediately is usually less than 10%. We need to strengthen a lot of positions to win under Chow’s system. Unless 10 players currently under schollies transfer we may not have enough scholies to offer this year to make all that much of a difference. Got to hope our existing guys grow into their positions.
Fotu has the potential to be one of the best big men Hawaii Basketball has ever seen. He needs to stay on the hardwood and not the field. Tony Akpan and Ikaika Alama-Francis got freakishly big once they switched over to football, if Fotu kept his weight from 8th grade (300lbs.) then maybe he would make a solid DE or DT. But I say Gib needs to develop his big man skills on the court cause he could be dominating very soon!
Chicken Grease the analogy I was referring to, is that they both suck as head coaches.
madeinhawaii,
I was thinking the same thing which is why I was breaking down the roster of what we have coming back next year, if everyone returns. Next year we should be somewhat better with everyone returning, having a year in the system and with a better QB in Graham. Plus defensively will be much better once we have a healthy Samia, Friel, and with our young LB corps gaining experience. Still we need to have a huge recruiting class this year and next to fill the holes cause honestly I don’t see much talent aside from the running backs and maybe the linebackers once next years Seniors leave. I may be wrong and I hope I am but the roster looks a little slim after next year.
Bright and McBride throwing blows… nice maybe it will get them fired up enough to start throwing some real blows against these upcoming teams. I really hope the team finds a way to get past bottom dweller CSU and gains some confidence because the next three games could get ugly with Fresno State, Boise State, and Air Force upcoming. If we get slaughtered by those three teams I don’t think we’ll have enough umph left to beat the other bottom dwellers in UNLV and South Alabama…
I’ve been talking about UH taking paycheck games for awhile now, but $1 mil seems a little low now that Big 10 and other schools have agreed to pay $1.3 mil and more. Neutral site games can pay schools like BYU and BSU $2 mil.
The big negative for UH is that travel costs are NOT included–the travel costs will eat into the $1 mil check. When you consider that published reports have said that UH makes between $700k and $1.2 mil (when USC last came to Aloha Stadium), and travel costs increase as UH goes further east (like to the Big 10)…UH will probably net less money for a $1 mil game than they do from a regular game in Aloha Stadium.
Still, it will be great for the players to play in a packed stadium in a very different environment (stadiums like Michigan’s are much bigger than Aloha Stadium). The game could also help recruiting. The game would be on national TV, which is good exposure for UH.
UH may get less money for the $1 mil paycheck game than a regular home game, but the other benefits could be good for the team.
This could mean that UH might have 7 road games and just 6 home games that season. Since half of conference home games are road games, and half of home-and-home nonconference games are road games, UH will have seasons with just 5 or 6 home games if it takes 1 paycheck game each year.
So, UH could lose a bye week, travel to 7 road games, and have less home games…that is rough on the player’s bodies and their schoolwork.
man, if Garret Gilbert QB for SMU ever “gets it”, SMU will be deadly. Gilbert didn’t have much time to study the Four-Wide, but JJ’s D and Special Teams are pretty decent. 45-21 SMU, 3rd quarter.
chow could also go the JC route and get help for D-line and WR right away.
oh, and safety, we need a JC safety to come in and play right away.
Face time for Timmy Chang
200. ol’ Timmy looks pretty good as a coach. lol
…he seems to listen well
WTH? 11 seconds gone in the 2nd half and OU hasn’t scored ye….
Oh, nvm. ASU got da kickoff
UofO
Mana Greig!
I imagine there’s lotsa folks in OK and PA who’d like to see Chip Kelly keep his foot on the gas
Wow. Harbaugh. WTH?
Always thought you had to be pretty passive-aggressive to operate in Hawaii.
Over 100 points in the SMU-UH game. One of the most fun games I ever saw was Timmy Chang’s UH-UH Hawaii Bowl win.
Looks like SMU’s QB found his rhythm for today’s game… leading 59-42 halfway through the 4th qtr.. BUT.. looks like SMU could still use McMackin on defense
nice to see some fire in practice. But bright has like 30lbs on mcbride lol
agree, DL, WR and safety for immediate. If they not studs tho, rather just get HS kids
What ever happened to Desmond Dean? He had good size and some pass rush ability, but hasn’t seen the field this season. Is he still on the team?
Mountain W champs next year with all these players coming back?
72-42 here in TX.
OUCH!!! 72-42 SMU
SMU will win the rest of their remaining games to finish at 8-4 and another bowl win. IF their QB was a little better they would finish at 10-2. imo
Eh, Pony up den
Did anyone see the ending of the SF vs Seahawks? 4th and 21, Chop block in the endzone by Seahawks with 41 seconds left. Decision for Harbaugh to take the 2 points and receive free kick or decline penalty and take the ball. He chose to take the ball.
Why would you take points away to guarantee a win, even if you lose the free kick? Any thoughts?
WARRIOR SECOND SEASON STARTS AT COLORADO STATE!!!! 0 WINS, 0 LOSS.
MY FIRST HALF-SEASON WARRIOR GEMS.
DEFENSE: BEAU YAP, MIKE EDWARDS, TAVITA WOODWARD, TONY GRIMES, NEQUAN PHILLIPS, PAIPAI.
OFFENSE: WILL GREGORY, RYAN HALL, BEN CLARKE.
ST: TYLER HADDEN, SCOTT HARDING, JOHN HARDY-T, MIKE EDWARDS, ALEX DUNNACHIE
TOUGH WARRIOR: SEAN SHROEDER, BILLY RAY STUTZMAN
oops, sorry for the caps, da bugga was stuck-on.
sry, didn’t watch the seahawks game warrior dave.
Re: academic issues for recruits. How far in advance can the recruits register with the NCAA Clearinghouse? Prior to senior year? Our college counselors recommended registering at the beginning of senior year, even if the student was thinking of going the JC route.
Any thoughts on the effect on recruiting of LDS members now that the minimum age is 18 to go on missions?
Heh.. if SMU’s defense was a little better they’d finish 10-2 or better, too.
222. true dat, but the QB garrett gilbert throws a lot of picks (think, timmy chang), pick-6 and gives the D bad field position. When gilbert has his 3 and outs, which is a lot, the defense stays on the field and tires.
the TCU game was winnable, and their tulane game should have been a win 26-25 or some score like that, it’s why i say 10-2.
i watched all of SMU games except one.
early voting come monday!!!!
SAWARRIOR, great way of looking at the second half of the season. I would add Luke Ingram to the ST.
SMU losses, @ Baylor 59-24, Texas A&M 48-3. those were not winnable IMO, no matter.
SMU losses, TCU 24-16 (5 picks, 37.5 comp%) , Tulane 27-26 (1 pick 49comp%). winnable IMO.
226. doh! thank you, i forgot about da long snapper. yes, Luke Ingram for sure. 🙂
ST compared to me you’re a young pup and no worry I always make typos trying to text on my cell phone…how da heck do these kids do it…give me an old electric typewriter.
Go Wahine!
FWIW, I have always been curious about the best time for Fall Foliage cruises, especially up in the Montreal and Quebec area. Met many people from the area on previous cruises and they all say it depends on the weather, but most agree the “guaranteed” best time is the 2nd week in October. So, a month later could be bleak as jm2375 notes.
Gonna do a Canada fall foliage cruise someday, but note that one major cruise ship sails for the Bahamas from Baltimore the day after the UH-Navy game (Nov. 10, 2013). Cruisers should check that out–especially if they fly cross country to Annapolis…
That Stanford win looks better and better as the Pac12 WVB season moves on with Stanford undefeated in conference thus far. Pac 12 must be tough with UCLA with 3 losses already.
SteveM – #232 – the farther North, the earlier the leaves change. Can’t remember my biology, so not sure what the trigger is. Generally, Mid-Atlantic is a couple of weeks later than New England. I do remember it snowing on Veteran’s Day one year. Not sure if Baltimore is any better when it snows, but DC generally shuts down when there’s at least a half-inch of snow on the ground. One Washington Post columnist called DC the city that’s northern enough to snow and southern enough not to know what to do about it. 🙄
Thanks to the people who mentioned the Ian Lind piece in Civil Beat. It seemed like a pretty solid [unredacted] recap. If you don’t find it readily at CB, try going to his blog; he hyperlinks from there.
Otherwise, pretty disturbing news that the regents’ report isn’t ready. Especially because these are the folks who tried to dissuade the Senate from having a hearing because they were “taking care of it” or words to that effect.
Na, na, na, na, hey, hey, goodbye!
Goodbye to the Yankees!
Wahine struggling tonight.
Yep…
madeinhawaii #222,
SMU defense returned 3 of 6 interceptions and one fumble for a TD. That means the defense scored 4 of the 10 TD’s . Houston also scored a TD on a 75 yd interception. Score was 72-42 SMU.
Wish UH defense could score 4 TD’s .
islandman..
LOL… I wasn’t aware of that! NO wonder the score was so high.. Thanks for the correction… maybe both sides of the team are coming together…. I’d like to see JJ do well at SMU..
Garret Gilbert threw for 4 TD’s for SMU; he also threw one to Houston for the 75 yd interception TD. So that means Houston’s defense scored 7 of the 42 points.
to add to what others said about Lafaele on the Leahey & Leahey show . . .
I never even thought about the culture of the team changing. Obviously it has, but for some reason I never considered it as having an effect.
When JJ was here, he changed the environment to resemble more of a pro environment, in terms of how he treated his players. More freedom, but some would argue less discipline. When Mack was here (and this is just my opinion, so I hope nobody takes offense), I think the lack of discipline increased and resulted in questionable effort at times.
But, Lafaele makes a good point about not being able to recognize the culture. In his efforts to instill discipline, Chow got rid of names, hair, and implemented strict rules and punishments. While overall discipline is probably better, has this eroded the attitude of Hawaii football?
UH was always the team that win or lose, opponents would comment on how hard they hit and how fierce they play. I doubt that is the case this season. And I don’t mean that necessarily as knock on the players. But, has UH lost its’ attitude?
Heya i’m for the primary time here. I found this board and I to find It really useful and it helped me out much. I hope to provide one thing again and help others such as you aided me.
Would the wreckless, crazy, exciting, talented, Polynesian-fueled style of play a la Nate Jackson and Leonard Peters be able to exist on this team?
Well, at least now UH lower campus workers no longer have to worry about players wrecklessly breaking the soap dispensers over and over again while horsing around and leaving the lockers in disarray with all kinds of missing gear and clothing resulting in coaches yelling at staff about players not having some of their gear available.
Discipline is good no doubt.
BTW . . . I am for the discipline. But could it have cost UH football its culture? Could there have been more balance?
Discipline seems to work pretty good for the Service Academies
Discipline & Focus. Mantras of martial arts, the military and life…
Maybe the officials will take Hawaii off their “watch list”
If instilling discipline “cost” UH football its “culture” then what does that say about what the perceived culture is/was???????
A few complete passes here and some defensive adjustments there and we might have had won our second game of the year.
Dunno how “culture” plays into that.
Balance? MAXIMUM discpline is good and all coaches should strive for that.
The “balance” comes from carrying out a game plan and the players executing that plan is the next step of BALANCE.
Sorry, but digging deeper into this is only good for discussion to kill time until the next game.
it depends how that discipline is dished out.
Kevin,
Your last sentence is probably why I brought it up. I only heard Lafaele mention it on the show and wanted to comment. Just probing the blog to see what people think. Again, I like the discipline. It probably just seems like the attitude is gone because of the blowouts. You make a good point. Proper execution of a game plan and adjustments prevent the results we’ve had, and the issue would be non-existent.
Still, perception of Hawaii football toughness, whatever that may have been, is being altered this year. There are players on this team that can restore the pop though, to be sure.
Hmmm…. changing culture of the team. Isn’t that why they changed the coach to begin with? The ones who are resistant to change are the problem.
Deep down people miss the culture of WINNING.
No amount of piped in recorded music, big helmets, long hair, and a half-asses Nike contract that cant even five practice uniforms for our players can bring that back.
Jones won because he was a good coach and the rest followed.
People connect the superficial part of the “extras” with having some direct influence on QBs connecting on pass plays and defensive stops.
The image and inconsistent view of UH football culture should be saved for online disussions to kill time until the next home game.
Stupid iphone…
Meant to say:
“Half-assed Nike contract that cant even GIVE our players practice gear”….
So . . . is this a good time to talk about uniforms, then? 🙂
Toughness being altered?
Ok NOW we’ve got something to discuss!!
How does one believe that is lacking or altered?
Not saying it sarcastically, just wondering because I think this team got worked like no other in Spring Ball compared to the last decade.
Actually, the aerodynamic change to a players stride due to the new hair length rule should have improved speed. And I’m just not seeing it. Not to mention the weight differential that should have resulted from less fabric on the uniforms with no names on the back. There are some real issues here, people!
My toughness being altered comment . . .
After UH played USC when Bush was there, he commented after the game about the toughness and hard hitting style, especially of Peters. Over the years, coaches and players alike have consistently commented that when you play Hawaii, you know you are getting a hard hitting, tough team. What I mean by it being altered, is that losing in blowout fashion and not being able to tackle (although I attribute that more to scheme than player ability) – especially against the level of competition we have faced – is not going to leave anyone fearing UH’s toughness in the immediate future.
That’s all. Again, I think we got some tough as nails players that would like to challenge my opinion. And, they’d be right in doing so. When is the question.
I don’t mean player toughness in terms of work ethic or how they are disciplined or anything like that.
We can talk uniforms all night.
But I gave up around last year.
Some people don’t like our Under Armour uniforms and those same people do not understand and want to remain ignorant about how apparel contracts work.
Bottom line, Nike… after our Sugar Bowl year and sending a player to the Hesiman Ceremony was only going to STILL give us a contract that did not meet the apparel needs the Under Armour deal laid out.
People are ignorant if they look at Boise State and Oregon’s uniforms and accessories and think that Nike would be giving us things remotely close to that.
That is just fact.
Yes Nike is ahead of the game, but they do NOT give all that stuff to all the teams they have deals with.
Yes Under Armour does the same. Maryland has the biggest deal with the most cash and the most apparel compared to UH.
However in the end this same Under Armour deal gives UH WAY more than what Nike was willing to negotiate in 2008.
UH football, softball, baseball, and soccer players now have multiple sets of footwear on and off the field, practice only apparel, and casual/pre game and postgame clothes, and of course uniforms.
I guess no one remembers watching UH football practice in the Nike era where players were wearing old tshirts underneath OLD REEBOK game jerseys as practice uniforms and shorts with holes in them??
But that is my view on uniforms in relation to our Under Armour deal.
People may not like the uniform styles, but fact is fact.
Kevin,
Didn’t they still practice in uniforms with rainbow stripes still on them until they started to recycle some of the Nike stuff? And I’m talking while JJ was here. Or am I just imagining that?
I think JJ would have had fun with UA stuff, design wise.
BOR hire McCoriston in this fiasco. What’s this going to cost us?
Hmmm.. don’t remember that. I remember old Reebok jerseys and game pants being used under JJ during the Nike contract.
The Rainbow Warrior days were different cut jerseys wide at the bottom and not tapered like todays ones so would have looked awkward and should have stuck out.
Perhaps a few players got a hold of some vintage stuff taken off inventory and marked as “salvage” and used them??? Dunno.
I do remember white jersey #26…. god damn that thing was grass-stained to hell and back with so many holes in them.
Remember Daniel Libre? Yeah, poor guy had to wear that thing as #26.
yes, during JJ’s days they used the old rainbow uniforms for practice.
watching replay of Oregon ASU game, both nike uniforms are bad azz lookin’. the don’t have that SILLY stripe down down the back of the pants like the UA ones.
Dang, I miss silver.
Oh no I didn’t . . . yes I did. 😉
they*
Recall a player running up the hill to talk to two coeds on the other side of the fence at the practice field.
First words outta one coed: Wow! Those pants are kinda…gay!
It was a short visit….
I don’t care for the multi colored numbers of ASU. And the only thing I don’t like about the Ducks unis are those feathers on the helmet and shoulders.
268. lmao
269. those feathers on the helmet and shoulder pads make them ducks fly faster.
Raiders fan? 😆
Are you using slo-mo to look at those Duck unis?
maybe, becuase there are some players on the Oregon team that can fricken fly man!
273. yeah, them ducks are kinda a blur, slow-mo works bestest. lol
272 . . . oh, hell no!
i think JJ had it right as far as marketing the warrior brand, polynesia’s team, adding black and silver, the drums, Villi the Warrior etc…
Mariota’s 86 yarder looked like a replay from the spring game
…..das flying
Just checking.. dunno what the eff silver had to do with Hawaii.
The media guides said silver represented how the sun reflected off the sheets of rain in Manoa Valley.
What the hell is that? Did someone FAIL science in elementary. What dafuq happens when sunlight interacts with raindrops??? Rainbow….
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
I’m waiting for the post from the guy who will scold us, telling us that JJ is gone, stop living in the past, and support our current team, players, and coaches. Not to mention that uniforms don’t win games.
Vili was good.
Dont care what anyone says, I miss that guy on the field.
280. they had to come up with some BS to make it fit. lol
Can you imagine the metallic, chorme looking rainbow helmet that can probably be designed now? Come on . . . one game!
JJ is gone. Stop living in the past. Support our team. Uniforms don’t win games.
Oh and our colors are GREEN AND WHITE.
Kev-1,
Uniforms DONT win games.
Ask Bob Wagner.
cheehoo! I like it. This is fun. Thanks for humoring me guys.
Nah,
Would rather see matte green. Our baseball bows had matte green helmets last season if anyone remembers. Wahine softball has some matte white lying around too and I think they’re getting a different color scheme this year. I asked if it was matte green like baseball, but dont think it is.
Baseball and softball get their gloves, bats, and helmets from Easton.
uniforms dont win games, but at least i can look good in my black, silver, green and white warrior jersey.
I like modern stuffs… Still young enough and not bitter yet to shun new things, but I still gotta stick with my roots and my school’s roots.
GREEN AND WHITE.
BLACK from time to time on special occasions is fine too.
matte anything, I want that too.
Ohhh.. replay of Wahine Volleyball!
They may not win games but they do make the registers ring at the logo shop
Actually, matte white with black trim doesnt look good. The matte white finish attracts dirt like a magnet and hard to wipe off unlike the smooth shiny finish. Matte white, not good for outdoor sports, especially softball where dirt is everywhere.
Also I think I saw one of the teams we played against with a matte blue or purple, cant remember who but that was FUGLY.
I would be perfectly content with the design of Utah State’s jersey and helmets but off course in our colors.
http://www.6magazineonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/utahdarkhelmet_crop_650x440.jpg
Keeping things in stock also keeps the registers ringing as well………
crome helmet, one side the H logo, the other side the hawaiian flag covering that whole side.
Kevin,
Carbone fiber a la Seattle Seahawks helmet. You like?
Carbon not carbone
295. those are nice looking
Follow up on the post I forwarded her earlier today regarding UH Manoa’s Ka Leo Student Newspaper first reporting a hostage situation near lower campus.
Apparently is was just outside the back gate closest to the Duke Kahanamoku Swimming Pool.
From the Advertiser:
Police today arrested a 33-year-old Moiliili area man on suspicion of felony abuse of a family member, first-degree terroristic threatening and intimidating a witness.
Police sent in officers from the Specialized Services Division to a Varsity Circle address. He was arrested at 2 p.m. at his Varsity Circle home.
oh snap! a chrome helmet with the chromish Hawaiian flag. neat.
#300,
I think the simplicity looks good. If we want to do something special/creative with the helmet, it would make a nice contrast to a simpler looking jersey.
Dunno what theirs looks like, but sounds good. Just as long as the dominate color is our dark green or a 50/50 mesh of black and green and another 50/50 blend of green and white.
302. yeah, i think it will look sharp!
297. oops, i forgot the h in crome.
Something like how this hat is designed, but blow up the H on the side to make it bigger.
This would be interesting.
http://www.uhrainbowtique.com/productdetails.asp?pid=6326&pagenum=1
BTW, Under Armour doesnt make helmets and neither does Nike.
No, but who is responsible for the design on the helmets to go with the uniforms? Is it seperate?
have a chrome helmet, one side oversized H logo and on the other chrome colored oversized hawaiian flag.
http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/962116/Concept_helmet_1.jpg
this is oversized raider logo.
Kev-1,
See that’s the interesting part. The helmets are PART of the uniform scheme. The uniform scheme is something crafted and decided on between the outfitter and the administrators at that school in charge that deal with the outfitter.
So its a collaboration of sorts and there has to be an agreement I imagine.
I think the manufactureres of Oregon’s helmets are Schutt ours seem like Riddell.
Or instead we make a collage of local Hawaii favorites.
Surfboards, costco, spam, club evergreen, ling hing mui, ihop, guy hagi, k-dramas (oops, i guess that would be a repeat of #4).
Oh and of course the coach has a say as well.
310 . . . yup. see, those are bad a$$ to me. One day.
312. guy hagi??!!! lmao
Oh and if you see Nike logos and UA logos around the facemask with eye shields, Nike and UA both make helmet accessories, but not the helmet and facemask themselves.
Whats wrong with you? He said Hawaii FAVORITES.
K, enough already.
Trying to watch Wahine volleyball.
317. just seems strange having guy hagi on a helmet, but spam would be ok lol
alright you guys. great ideas. it is obvious who UH needs to turn to for their uniform schemes. I’ll split the profits.
have a good night.
joe moore would be a little too controversial no?
i like jomo, even if he didn’t like JJ
…and i also miss jim leahy doing play by play for UH football.
@ 180. al
oh no, not yet another “al”.

#324,

yah…i’ve had a few.
Terrific paintings! That is the kind of info that should be shared across the web. Disgrace on Google for no longer positioning this post higher! Come on over and seek advice from my web site . Thank you =)
Problem with too much discipline and not enough individuality. If no one is to shine, then all have to be on par with each other. So, if there are those that cannot rise to the occasion, does that mean that the others have to come down to their levels? Can those with superior skills take the easier road to make it easier for their buddies and take the edge off of their own performance so that the others won’t look so bad. Sort of like a work environment where you don’t overachieve so that your colleagues don’t look bad. …
Das not good.
reply to…#240 maybe about time we take a positive look at how Rocky, n Joe Louis came into the ring to do battle…for me it is just as intimadating to come out “resolved” to win..maybe we are “walk softllt” now.. cuz we not have a “big stick” yet huh..We shall see in a few years..when our warriors will have that “big keawe stick” n kick butt..in the future…i wonder if B. J. Penn had keawe or guava…he he he…who sang that song “our day will come” or something like that ”

Get rid of the white (or as much white as possibly can) on the uniforms. Grease keeps saying this You guys gonna wait ’til it happens ‘fore you say, “A Grease was right and righteous ;). Chow knows to do this. And da#ned the P.C. angle; do a traditional Chinese blessing — cooked pig and all — before the first practice for next year.
Ahem. Are you fine people ready for a great Friday and an even greater [bye] weekend?
Sure you are.
But, first thing’s first.
Go. To. Sleep.
Go to sleep.
Aloha Friday!
Whoo-hoo!!!
One more day of meetings.
I can do this!

John Ortberg is an engaging and entertaining writer with a message. He likens life to a game. When the game is over, all the pieces go back in the box (casket) and what truly matters is not what you’ve won playing the game, but how you play. You can’t live life without focusing some on death. While the basis of the book can easily be summed up in the old adage of life is like a game and it’s not whether you win or lose, but how you play, Ortberg gives fresh meaning to it based on scripture and Jesus’ teaching. This is truly a thought-provoking book and one that needs to be read by all Christians.

It is perfect time to make some plans for the long run and it is time to be happy. I have read this publish and if I may I wish to recommend you some attention-grabbing issues or tips. Perhaps you could write subsequent articles referring to this article. I want to read even more issues about it!
Howzit, Gang!
Condolences, first of all, to the ‘ohana of Shephard Killen.
Secondly, happiest of birthday wishes to Jessica Owens Reid and Eddie Klaneski!
Another tough schedule coming up next year, with even more option-running offenses. We better learn our lessons this year!
Also interesting that we’re playing BYU on December 7th. Too bad that couldn’t be switched out with Navy. Haven’t looked at the schedules of the armed forces. Maybe that date is already tied up between a couple of service academies already.
Have a great day, everyone! I’m still on my son’s computer, while he’s at school. Not sure when I’ll get my machine up and running… Priorities!…

Let’s say the helmet looks like cr_p, but we have a helmet that now conforms to the NCAA standard AND, is manufactured in such a way that concussions are almost non-existent.
Give me that helmet over anything that a cosmetic job can do to “look pretty”.
Safety first, pretty can come later.
Great Morning All!
Rest and healing for the Warriors.
A weekend for ‘sperimentin’ with tailgate recipes….
Buffoman,
I heard an interview if a personal injury attorney who works with many sports injury cases. He says football helmets are designed to prevent skull fractures, not concussions. Hence, skull fractures are extremely rare in football.
Facemasks. Ban ’em and the concussions will virtually disappear.
and yet, you say you will vote All “D” in November? 😕
#343 One step at a time is probably the right steps to take. Concussions are simply terrible. More needs to be done to more fully protect these athletes.
Maybe without facemasks we won’t need names on the back of the jersey as we’ll see a face.

Well not all but the top guy is a Hawaii guy – or those guys that go to Punahou don’t count?
All fun and games, until someone loses an eye. 😉
