Practices were tough, with full-padded, scrimmage-like sessions on Thursday and Saturday.
But the Warriors’ final week of training camp also featured offensive lineman Luke Clements’ breakout performance in the Lip Sync Battle, the addition of three players, an appearance by Spider-Man, and a cool conclusion.
Roll the slides:

It’s Kiko Faalologo, who is the heart of the defensive lineIt rained — hard — at Aloha Stadium on Thursday, a day after the Warriors practiced in no-tradewind, 93-degree heatIn the Sheriff Center, the coolest room — literally and figuratively — is for UH archives. Here’s a pic of the most successful coach in Rainbow Wahine basketball historyRunning back Melvin Davis, who is guesstimated at 245 pounds, gained first downs on each of his five third-down runs yesterday.Isaiah Bernard, who joined on Monday, will get a shot at slotback.KITV anchor/reporter Brandi HigaThis was a punishment for being tardy. This also was proof that cornerback Preston Kalai is very athletic.Not only can running back Pereese Joas run and catch, but he also can blockCoach Chow arranged — and paid — for a shave-ice truck to celebrate the end of training camp.Quarterback Ikaika Woolsey using the syrup dispenserOffensive tackle Matt “Moose” NormanQuarterback Aaron Zwahlen, who also is leading housemate Damien Packer in the beard-growing contest.Linebacker Max Broman, who was raised in a state with the slogan “Greatest Snow on Earth.”Weakside linebacker Jahlani TavaiSlotback Dylan CollieWideout Keelan EwalikoReceiver Duke BukoskiSlotback Ryan Pasoquen and wideout Ammon Barker

I wish that shave ice truck came to Kaneohe yesterday. Would have help get me through trimming the ulu tree. Now I’m gonna drive to ward and get some Waiola with the lychee, strawberry cream, blueberry combo. With Waiola’s smooth ice the strawberry cream on it taste like guri guri ice cream. Yum!

Morning all. Seems like a very productive camp with no major injuries.
What? No ice cream and azuke beans with their shave ice?? 🙂
Making an run to Shimazu Shave Ice in this heat.

A great week for the Warriors. Chow put the “icing” on the cake.
Faalologo, Davis and Vele in a Big Boom Backfield?
GO WARRIORS!!!

I watched some of last night’s replays of Ohio State’s 2014 games. Phew, it’s going to be a daunting task to contain RB Ezekiel Elliott and QB T J Barrett’s passing. How do their receivers get so open? And our OI will have to contain DE Joey Bosa. He can really disrupt the passing game by harassing/sacking the QB. Ohio State is simply just loaded with good/great players. Saw one chink in the armor. Hawaii can beat CB Eli Apple.

Glad to hear about Mel Davis and Bernard. Heard D Butler is pretty fast ?
Did the spiderman pic clear the censors ? Terrific pictures though. Didn’t recognize Vince.

3-Prong, yup, Urban had the Buckeyes humming. Did you see last week’s re-telecast of the Hawaii-Colorado game? A game Hawaii could have won. Based on the performance of both teams last year, I think Hawaii should win the re-match at Aloha Stadium this season.
Those attending the Ohio State game should email me your logistical info (ETA, hotel, ticket section/row, ETD). Some of you are staying in the same hotel… heck, you might be sitting two seats from each other and not know it. 🙂 I only list row numbers. You may optionally share seat info with other in the group email I will send a week before road game, and possibly make further plans.

Because the players had a day and a half befor the start of school, they received per diem for the four missing meals. All and all, they were happy campers.

Happy Campers can thank Coach Chow
for short haircuts
to keep them cool also 🙂
When you’re hunting for parking in Manoa, especially the area surrounding the UH campus, make sure you don’t leave your car too close to a resident’s driveway. They are not shy about having it removed.
I remember watching “Dogtown and Z-Boys” at the old Varsity before picking up my Chevy Prism(don’t be jealous) at the towyard. Best accidental viewing of a film ever. I just wanted to get out of the sun. (I’ve since graduated to a Honda Civic.) Vertical skating was pioneered because of a water shortage. They drained the pools.
What timing.
Dry summer.
First day of school: torrential downpour.
Good luck students. Quoting Jake Gylenhaal in David Fincher’s “Zodiac”: “Learn something.”
If you encounter people who don’t believe in global warming, like I do, just say these five words: “The Marshall Islands are sinking,” and drop the mike.

Nice that Dave Matlin doesn’t have to deal with an inebriated head coach. http://www.pacifictakes.com/usc-trojans/2015/8/23/9193283/usc-trojans-head-coach-sark-salute-to-troy-drunk-rumors-inebriated-turn-up
Way to go Coach Chow.
