Donors provide a lift
Meeting a need to feed, 11 Na Koa board members and UH alumni are donating their own money to pay for post-practice snacks for the Warriors this spring training.
It costs between $750 and $800 to provide snacks after each practice. Ten donors paid up to $800 apiece; one donor paid about $1,500 for two snack sessions. Those donations cover the 11 practices following UH’s spring break. Na Koa will pay for snacks following the April 28 spring game.
UH also provides supplementary meals (what used to be known as training table) for the players each day there is an on-field practice during spring training.
In total, the players are fed twice a day — snacks in the morning, meal in the evening — on each day there is a spring practice.
First in your hearts?

Endowment donations are needed as game-changers.
yes, there are many ways to support the athletic department be it football or softball or volleyball or golf or track & field or swimming/diving, etc.
many thanks to all that contribute/donate to UH athletics.
Nick mentioned I think Sharsh, Kamaka, Armstrong – Brown and Byrd as doing well as receivers, on Bobby’s show..
wonder what kind of “snacks” are provided after each practice?
recall a St Louis transfer to McKinley back in the mid-late 90’s who related that players got a small bag of chips and a paper carton of juice — he was most happy at McKinley because they received 2 whopper sandwiches and 2 cans of juice after each game.
Well Mr. Tsai? What is your plan for dealing with drugged out delusional posts and posters?
#9 Burro,
I agree with you. Some people just take up space.
Speaking of donors:
Can you help me reach my goal by chipping in $25 online with the last below link?
Got this email from Rolo:
Tom,
Received your email from my mom. Can’t tell you how thankful we are for what you have done throughout the years. I would like to pledge $500 to the account. Please put a $50 in the name of all the assistant coaches, I will let them know. Appreciate it.

Can you help me reach my goal by making a $25 donation to the UH Foundation Fund I created for UH Football recruiting–see below link.
If 2000 fans do this, we will raise $50,000. So far, I got 620 donors ($15,500), so only 1380 more donors to go–each donor spot represents $25.
After donating, text me your name to 415-324-0585 or email your receipt to: tomkitaguchi@yahoo.com so I can add it below (if you don’t mind):

Burro Sabio:
Magic is going to happen in 3, 2, 1 …
Thank you, thank you
Thanks!
Nice, Stephen ….
You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You’re the one who can put out the fire
Thank you ST!!
tom-warriornation,
Another pretty good month at work…done!
Mahalo for your efforts!
Live Aloha. Play Warrior!
The magical fingers of Mr. Tsai…
Mahalo Boosters!
Mahalo Magic Fingers Tsai!

Any snack is appreciated but I doubt the boosters serve unhealthy stuff like potato chips or cookies to the players. My guess is they have stuff like sandwiches or maybe granola bars or something like that.
Very kind and generous of these people to do that. I hope Rolo and the team thank each and every one of them for their generosity.
Thank you, ST! (say hi to Magic for Screecher and me 😀 )
Thanks to the boosters! That’s a lot of food. (and I thought feeding 20 volleyball players was a lot of fuud.
I am not a robot, or maybe I am.
The RPIs of Hawaii’s Big West opponents blow my mind.
It’s like looking at their men’s basketball counterparts.
204, 190, 187. (UC-Riverside, Cal-Poly, UC-Santa Barbara)
113, 126. (Cal State-Northride, Long Beach State)
74. (Cal State-Fullerton)
Hawaii should have swept Loyola Marymount.
Late-inning errors.
Hawaii should be 20-9.
The Titans next four games are a three-game series against San Diego State and a mid-week tilt against San Diego before they face Hawaii on their home field.
The two San Diegos are nearly identical.
If Fullerton takes three out of four, the Titans should be facing the ‘Bows with a RPI around 50-55.
It’s a moot point, I guess.
But you still hold out hope that Hawaii can get an at-large bid if they end the season with an RPI around 40-45.
To at least be on the bubble.
But if you’re facing a team with a RPI of 204, one loss will send Hawaii reeling into oblivion.
Every game is a must-win.
If Cade Smith goes wayward(he is a freshman, after all), does Coach Trapasso insert an inconsistent power pitcher(Pouelsen) or an inconsistent finesse pitcher(DiMiero) as the Sunday game starter?
Tom Waits’ first seven albums(his Asylum years) are reissued.
So far I bought “Closing Time” and “The Heart of Saturday Night”.
Great stuff.
