Night 3: Notes

hiya~

“Powell Is Island-Bound
SuperPrep.com – 13 hours ago
He also had a chance to work out with Ryan Grice-Mullen, the former star receiver at Hawaii. “I worked out with Grice-Mullen and I know he isn’t very big …?

This came up in Google but I can’t get into the site to read the rest.

tom mui- will go to dr. today… still feel very junk.

Top Ten baby! Just like the Warriors going be!

Howzit, Puna boy.

LizK, add me to the chorus: You go doctor TODAY!

Good morning Tsaikos & Tsaikettes!

Good Morning Tsaiko Nation!

Glad to hear that Aunty Liz is going doctah today. Nevah mine privacy ack…have the results on line before cob. There is a good chance that there will a barrage of XL Slippahs coming your way if you don’t!

FB practice at 4 PM today. Da twins on da loose in Manoa will give the boys incentive to make big body!…and big plays.

GO WARRIORS!

Stretch: I believe the tickets are already on sale. You can call Murphy’s at 531-0422 and probably order them over the phone.

good morning y’all.

lizk…..ask the doc if he should rule out menigitis, since its been going around.

….
on another note….so if sione, tachibana, vasconcellos, and laurel are pushed back to grayshirt status.

is it saying to us that the apr was worst than anticipated therefore, not as many available scholarships for 08?

or will some be counted as 08 and some counted for 09?

and where does noa count?

and, and what about waylon lolotai’s coming in 09?

now that we don’t have a permanent compliance person, what’s the deal here?

and, and, and i do agree that the 09 class is off to such a great start and its off the charts as far this program goes.

also, i am hearing that one or two more las vegas top 20 players may be committing soon including a former iolani student. tuioti’s worth is being proven already.

Thanks SJ & Loa – will pick up a ticket for the event.

morning all

still hoping uh can somehow bring in ms. doris sullivan, but man, tony tuioti has been on da job for less than a month and we’re already reaping huge benefits. still couple more weeks til start of ;08 season but i’m eagerly anticipating LOI day in ’09.

any update on percy havin’s ankle? be a great help in he ain’t close to 100% come 8/30

Morning Tsaikos!

Great news about Powell!

Can’t wait to watch practice this afternoon!

doubtful its the food. wouldn’t last that long. tell the doc you caught it at his office, maybe slide you one discount.

Liz – I hope it isn’t food poisoning and if it is, I hope you didn’t eat the loco moco yesterday, that’s what I had.

Hello everyone, hope you are having a pleasant morning.

Good morning Tsaikos and Tsaikettes….

Great to hear about the recruits. Good to see practices going well.

Liz, take care of yourself and keep us updated as to your condition.

Hope everyone has a good day.

James – you going to practice today?? I think ST is expecting you to be there

liz – enough blogging, go doctor already. In other words, “beat it” hahahaha

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/football/ncaa/specials/preview/2008/08/05/rankings0811/index.html?eref=T1

SI has a preseason poll from 1 to 119. They show Hawaii at 81. Pretty sad, two of the bottom three teams are from the WAC, Idaho (117) and Utah State (119)

mauiwarrior…..st once said that grayshirts could be counted in either the current year and/or the forthcoming year. i guess that is why they are gray shirts being in the gray area.

Where’s UHfan808?

UHfan808 – The last picture you sent was blurry. Can you send me a clearer pic! hehehehe…giggle giggle…

(J)J – I sent you an email with the sched. Let me know what day!!!

Here is an article about another potential recruit from the las vegas area:
(from rivals.com)

“The Palo Verde Panthers are one of the most talented teams in the western region this year. With a boatload of speed in the backfield, this team also has an impact linebacker that has seen interest really pick up in him during the summer.

“I went to the All-Poly Camp and since then I have seen things really pick up,” said Liloa Nobriga. “I picked up an offer from Hawaii last week while Utah and Stanford have given verbal offers. Stanford says they just need my test scores. Colorado and Arizona have also said they are very interested while Utah State said they are close.”

“I measured in at 6-foot-3 and 225-pounds, I have also improved my strength. This year, it’s just about taking the game day-by-day. It’s all about the team. We can’t stop thinking about the last game (Sunset Title game versus Gorman). We really want to get the state title this year.”

“Right now I would say I’m leaning toward UH. I like that Coach Tony Tuioti is there.”

“I will always like UNLV as well. They were my first offer. I rally like Coach Mike Sanford and Upresa. They are recruiting me hard.”

“I will be visiting Arizona this Saturday on an unofficial. Coach Michael Smith is the coach that has been recruiting me the most. If they offer, that could be touch to pass. It’s the Pac 10 and I have a friend there that says he loves it”

As for a personal goal, Nobriga has set the bar high looking to notch 150 tackles and 20 sacks. According to him, he enjoys having big goals.”

sunlinelv – Thanks for the info! Nice read.

Howzit Tsai-Kos!!

Great point homey. Can’t pass or run if the linemen don’t block. From a former O-lineman, I would love to see those big dudes pancaking a gator or two.

ref: post #19

al – you must be tsai-chic

Stretch – Sheesh, no respect from SI. I don’t give a rip about SI. In fact when I go to the doctor’s office and there is a SI Swimsuit edition or a Highlights children magazine I pick the Highlights. SI can kiss DPK’s okole!

ST, Disabled Veterans? That was misleading. Glad that Carvalho is well.

Gorg – yep, it’s about time to start looking for O-linemen. Oh, and a couple of running backs too.

is dis liloa nobriga kid that one that went to iolani for a couple of years then transferred to LV??

Stretch-
Make sure you save those pre-season rankings til Hawaii wins a bowl game to close the season. We should know what expect from “polls” early in the season. To place Hawaii at #81 is classic media stupidity and ignorance. *sigh* Same bullsh*t, different year. 👿

GO WARRIORS!!!

_____________________________________________________________

I beg your pardon, homey!!! Those lips have sucked more BCS butt than I care to imagine! Keep those filthy, disgusting, lying lips off of my pikake scented hinterlands! 😆

I never read SI, either. Not even their swimsuit issue. haha

DPK – 😆 Okay, you may be right but I was just thinking they could scrape the barnacles off at the same time.

Pomai – No ways we would send them Maui Wowie. That’s too good for them. If anything, they are drinking some moonshine from some backyard hillbilly distillery. Or maybe smoking some LSD laced ganja from Jamaica. Or shooting some opium from Afghanistan that was pissed on by some wimpy Afghan who can’t protect his own country.

ST – I still see them in the office! My favorites are the hidden pictures, jokes sent in by kids, and find the differences in the pictures.

ST, please see post #68…

I’m confused… I could have sworn that you said to save the barnacles for YOU! 😆

thanks for leatigaga update.
hope he gets back to playing shape. he looked like a beast.

Good Morning Tsaikos!

Anyone know the mentally-challenged individual who posted posts 598-600 on yesterday’s blog???

haha ST, das my boy! But correct it to

AmericanS

Tanks, brah

gigi – if a book critic said your books suck would that give you a low morale or self esteem?

K-den homey…how is that you know so much about all these things?

Hey UHfan808 and Midori7…I’m coming to practice today also.

homey, I was very upset when my aunt criticized my 2nd book. Didn’t speak to her for almost 3 years!

Of course, she went out of her way to call all our relatives and tell them not to buy my book, and if they had already done so, not to read it.

Homey..I actually like SI’s swimsuit edition, it gives me fashion ideas for the summer….MWAAHAHAHAHAHA

I like Highlights too…love the picture find….LMAO

Probably will only be able to make the Saturday practices until after the 18th….Anyone wanna go this Saturday and have a lunch after?

Wow my blockquote nevah work!

Rob3.14159265 – I am a former subscriber of Hightimes.

gigi – so did it lower your morale? That was the question.

homey-
Let’s look to make practice sometime next week, when they’re in pads. Some o’ them soft, delicious biscuits from Jack’s afterwords, maybe.

Wut’s Donovan’s email again?

Maybe Jaymie can join us…

homey, yeah, her criticism was demoralizing. But 3 years later, I have forgiven her and hopefully we can put this behind us.

(J)J – What kind job you get??? I was planning next week Wednesday! Arrgghhh.

ST…LMAO…I remember his tree violation…..j/k. He violated a tree???

who’s going to saturday morning practice? that’s the only one i can go to.

We’d have to be intoxicated to hear Rob3.14159265 sing.

When the baby trees grow up will they have a fat trunk?

ST – you’re more than welcome!

homey – put up your two fingers and say scout’s honor that you actually tried quinoa and did not like it.

yah….there is no jaymie. but, i do know some jamie’s.

…..
st, that would be the 16th of august. unless your hangovers hang around for two days.

….
let’s call the sierra club and the outdoor circle and rat on dpk.
…..
well, there will be a pho cc soon. asports is arranging it.

dpk did what?
asked brand x for some love?

hey, i vote he should be smu’d asap.
heck about the tree.

Damn, I feel like adopting a tree now… 😥

What’s brown and sticky?

A stick.

August 6th, 2008 at 11:13 am
Hey UHfan808 and Midori7…I’m coming to practice today also.

Rob – pretend you’re on the phone so you take pictures to text to me

I can try…I forgot my camera or I would have tried that also. They can’t possibly keep their eyes on everyone. Then again I read what ST said about giving us more if we follow the rules.

Not sure about the Dec trip since the airfare I was looking at went up $107 in one day…will let you know.

A stick joke is okay as long as it’s not a sick joke.

heck, ST, it’s better than my airplane joke, which was panned on this blog.

Hmm… I wonder what last minute fares to Hawai’i in August cost…

plus he calls you daily.

Rob25: see you at practice!

Ronnie: wish you could be there also!

re: Statehood Day – jealous of all you guys who have a holiday! Looking at ST’s schedule, there’s a morning & afternoon practice.

Ronnie – Yeah I need my drinking partner and then we can go to practice and take lots of pics (with our phones)!

Can just imagine the Four Amigas (Ronnie, Rob25, UHfan808 and Midori7) taking the place by storm!!!

J – she needs quotes for Aug 16-18 please

i didn’t know that the twins drank.

and robbie don’t forget the tequila.

A-House – My parents are going into Orlando and I was telling them about your plans, but I couldn’t remember all of the details. I will let them know the specifics and then get back with you.

Now it looks like I need the hookup at Paradise Beverages!

Ronnie – you have to come to the KK!

al – The Four Amigas gonna take UH by storm…not the KK. Do the twins drink?

Thanks Al…though I believe gigi was the one who was wondering about fare differences.

afternoon gang!

hmmm,
Thursday, Aug. 14 – First day of full pads.
Practice: 8:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.

Rob25 — the Tsai-kos at the Florida game web page and the Cattle Call(s) plans are at:

Also, the consolidated page for the rest of the football away games this season is at:

Any one else attending the road games are invited to share their plans and join in any planned tailgates or cattle calls there.

j….okay. sorry about that.

but, could you be the one to explain it to her?
please?

If you all recall correctly, the thing between the tree and I was about mutual attraction. These claims of me “violating” said tree are absolutely false.

August 6th, 2008 at 11:01 am
who’s going to saturday morning practice? that’s the only one i can go to.

I’ll be there this Saturday (8:30 – 11:30). I might have to leave a little before 11:30 cause I gotta work at 12 noon.

What happened to the WB blog….print is centered for each line and in 8 font size.

Rob25:

Best I know, most of the Hawaii Tsaikos will be scattered, but most, if not all, travel group tours will be in Orlando because of the theme parks.

I don’t know of any “gatherings” on game day as it will take us about 3 hours by bus from Orlando to Gainsville and then rush back to the buses for the long ride back to the hotel.

Expensive the fares from LA. I see them all over the place from the low-mid $500s as referenced above all the way to $800+ for close-in dates.

DPK: Do you have any evidence to repudiate the claims made above?

Go to the UH practice field, find the cigarette smokin’ tree with the biggest smile and ask it…

DPK, as you know, I was a witness to the whole affair. I can’t stand by quietly anymore. The truth must come out.

That tree did NOT give its consent to be violated. No way. It didn’t have a chance. You just climbed aboard and started… well, you know what you did.

This is to officially make notification that we have opened an investigation.
Case #48756PPPPP.We will be in touch with all witnesses and suspects.

Nothin’ like a gawl durned LAWYER to make the truth a lie… That tree wanted me, wanted me bad.

dpk’s lucky he’s not in lanai city.

i was told that if you sped through town your neighbor could notate your license plate and report you. soon thereafter, lanai city’s finest would be knocking upon your door with a ticket in hand for reckless operation of a vehicle.

hey, i wonder if tree police would do such an arrest.
i know where he lives.

If ya don’t believe me, ask “Gloves Guy”. He was standin’ right there the whole time.

so did said tree have a knot hole?

FloridaTed- yep see #182

XLiz – FLU! I wonder if the people you was in contact with on Sunday will start getting symptoms. TAKE CARE!

The chair is against the wall.

If ya don’t believe me, ask “Gloves Guy”. He was standin’ right there the whole time

if the UH recruit is your “star witness”, you are in trouble

liz – i hope i never catch your flu bug the few seconds i seen you at tip top yesterday

st…..is there a no issue on uniforms numbers 12, 14, and 15?

why #12?

This office is prepared to offer the WITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM to anybody that comes forward with information that leads to a conviction. We are specifically interested in interviewing alleged witness “Gloves Guy”

dang homey. cut em some slack.
i was thinking cowboy matchstick.
good thing wasn’t a pine with all that tar
or a maple with all that syr……..

okay time to esme….

btw, where has that girl been?
is she on probation?

esme…

jojo – you lurking? Tell jeje, be there next week Thursday morning practice.

Hi Faye!

Hi Esme!

DPK – I apologize if you were offended by the others comments. But I gotsta know, was that the best piece of Ash you ever had?

Thanks SteveM.

A-House – They are staying in Gainesville from the 27th and only in Orlando on the 30th. I guess they will have to be on their own, unless there is something planned in Gainesville on the morning of the game.

Homey – TMI

Stretch -ditto for you as well!

DPK – I’m shocked…*turns and leaves*

KAZZ – I thought about you and your “favorite” radio personality as I listened this morning. At least I could listen to ST talk about dancing around in his underwear (again TMI). The negative vibes he is always promoting are starting to get on my nerves as well. I’d rather have the Leaheys on three times a week.

i will never have the quality of jokes that homey seems to come up with.

Rob (forever 21) – LOL. “A la Tom Cruise”.

Rob6.022 – What is so TMI about my stick joke?

I will let jeje know about Thursday. He will bring pie.

WarriorMojo — no, no–you don’t want to go to Portland for a whole $502 RT. Then you’ll probably have to book a room at the Radisson Portland Airport for another $50 and have Stretch, g-nalo, Sleez, and brew808 pounding on your door at all hours to eat, imbibe and get you to the game somehow… 😉

Northwest Airlines non-stop direct flight

Leave HNL Wednesday Sept 10 (10pm – overnight..arrive Sept 11) – $409.90 including taxes

or Leave HNL Friday Sept 12 (overnight and arrive 7am game day) – also $409.90 including taxes

this price is with a Monday morning return so you don’t get back to Oahu until Monday afternoon

I was just scanning the blog today and found this:

Warrior Mojo,

what’s this about “pine”ing for dpk?
Well, tree’s a crowd.

See you at practice at 4

OSU game:

I vote for the “Riverview [all you can eat] Mongolian Grill” in Corvallis after tha game. Then “roll” on back to Portland (it’s not very far), to really celebrate the victory.

In searching for ways to watch Warrior Football for us LoCals, I came across a site lsufootball.net that shows all the TV times for college football enmasse. Great Resource!
However, they List the Hawaii – Florida game as Raycom Sports/ESPNGamePlan/ Yahoo.
WTH is Yahoo and how do I possibly get the game on the internet? Does anybody know? ST? Garret?

Inquiring. minds need to know

Stretch,

How many you need to make it cost effective? What is the max?

Izzy — where are you and wafan staying at in Portland?

We’ll be at the Radisson Airport “Ward” along with the rest of the Tsaikos.

Don’t know if we’ll drive, train or shuttle there yet.

I thought “Genji’s” was code for Gigi’s.

Hi Dennis!

According to this link, Gameplan games can be seen on espn360.com. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/gameplan/index

SteveM – gigi’s house eh. I wonder if hubby rather go genji’s than watch the game with her? get all you can eat breakfast!

kden home if you love your country “show dem to me” bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa or auwhoooooooooooooooooooooooo

okay, video may not work for some of you.

Looks like the Florida Gators just lost their star tight end with a knee injury. This guy was going to most likely be a 1st round pick.

300

Kazz…

You are sooo right about “Bling Faith” vs. belief. I was always a believer in the attitude, “On any given Saturday (or Sunday)”. If things went right and plans fell into place, with heart and talent, games could be won. There is something to be said about heart. Yes, all heart and no talent can’t win games no matter how hard you try or how much you want to win. But the reverse is also true, I’ve seen teams with some of the best talent out there finish with mediocre seasons because they didn’t have heart…no love for the game itself and no teamwork mentality. There needs to be a balance between those two ideals. I think Hawaii has that. What we may lack in size, speed, or talent, we make up for in heart….it just all needs to be put together.

And like you said, if we lose, we lose. We just move on and fight another day….one snap and clear right?

(J)J – yo yo yo bro, I gots da Bling Faith. Wanna roll in my dubs and hang with the hommies?

Calvin from Kona- we are looking for anoddah OSU game ticket… for a Tsai-ko… you got???

Esme out…gotta get to practice…gonna be late now.

Jack Flash, Dennis,

This is easily the best and deepest group of quarterbacks in years. Barkley, who’s committed to USC, is the top prospect nationally, regardless of position, but the race for #2 will be tight. Nunes, Brehaut, Evans and Forcier all have been longtime prospects. NorCal will have a strong group of passers, one of their best in a while, with Jensen, Southwick and Carta-Samuels leading the list.

Cody Vaz, Stockton (Calif.) St. Mary’s
Jordan Wynn, Oceanside (Calif.)
Max Yago, Walnut Creek (Calif.) Las Lomas
Joey Levine, Concord (Calif.) Clayton Valley
Sean Berman, North Hollywood (Calif.) Harvard-Westlake
Robb Post, Stockton (Calif.) Lincoln
Cory Nielsen, Cerritos (Calif.) Gahr
Kane Wilson, Placentia (Calif.) El Dorado
Ken Johnston, Carmel (Calif.)
Andrew Pulsipher, Temecula Valley (Calif.)
Sean Schroeder, Dana Point (Calif.) Dana Hills

[B]RUNNING BACKS[/B]
Wood was the top running back from the junior class in California and is the top running back prospect in the West for the 2009 class, giving Ventura County a stranglehold on the position the last decade. Brown is another top prospect from that area. Gaffney is the best from San Diego while Yarnway will be one of NorCal’s finest.

Jefferson is the best receiver prospect from the West and will be a national recruit. Flournoy, a commit to USC, had a huge junior season, as did fellow Trojan commit Carroll. Jackson and Roberts could also play on defense. Evans is this year’s Kemonte Bateman, using the B2G before his junior year to explode onto the scene.

Thx for feedback on UH-Fla game search.
Very strange
Raycom does Live broadcast of game but no internet on SEC games, though they do the ACC both ways.
Some of the good old boys have conspired.
I have searched for over two hours and three wine coolers(Even Balboa was humid today) but no happiness yet.
I will sic Garret on them unless they come clean.
Anybody else trying?

Liz-
How you feeling.? Just saw all the morning postings.
I’m worried about ya. Rest is needed. Your such a die hard fan :>

Hi Mav, I went to the Dr. this AM. She said FLU and gave me Tamiflu (puts me to sleep), ibuprofen for body aches (considerable) and a week off from work to rest. Dunno if I want to take a whole week but depends on how I feel. She said going back too early is a recipe for a relapse.

I’m sleeping, eating chx soup and checking the blogs a little…
Sleeping is good!

Mahalo for your kind thoughts and prayers!

PB, thanks for the info on this year’s players. saw one name of interest, Mailiu Penitani. He related to the yokokuzana in sumo??

whitey – I’ve been trying to get into contact with some of the local high schools in the area about there football programs. Couple weeks ago we had Colt Brennan’s school Mater Dei High come to base to hold a clinic for the military kids, they come often and are affiliated in a Marines for Monarchs program. Spoke with one of the coaches who coached Colt and asked if he could put in a good word to send more of his high profile players to Hawaii! Also, live right across the street from Vista Murrieta High, very big school, super nice facilities, and football field. Watched some of the football players working out on there own and chatted with a few. Excellent football team one of the up and coming programs in SoCal since they’ve only been playing since 2003. Went 11-1 in 2006 and 2007.

brent farve traded to NY jets. just heard it on ESPN

favre to the jets!

Brett the Jet!
J-E-T-S JetsJetsJets!~

Liz –
Sleep. Sleep, Sleep. Throw some B12 in the mix in a few more days after you break the sweat.
We’ll keep the good mana flowing your way.

Howzit Dennis Hollaran – I’ve heard of that kid isn’t his name Jaron Hytche though??? Anyway there’s a couple I left off that list, but those are the high profile, heavily recruited players in the state of california that I know of so far, there are others for sure…

The thing with Hytche though was that he was inconsistent running the ball last year, had some big games then dissapeared in others. I guess with Barkley though they threw the ball more. If they give him the ball more he could develop into a really good d1 back have to wait until after the season to make fair judgement on him…

For the those who live on the mainland – I have just updated the website for locals who reside on the mainland, please check it out!

locals on the mainland

A good running back that I like from the San Diego area is Tyler Gaffney. He’s big and very fast 6’1″ 215lbs. 4.4s 40yd. ran for over 1,500 yds. and had 29 TD’s on the season. Being heavily recruited by Notre Dame, USC, UCLA, Stanford, Utah, SD State. This kid is a beast…

that’s right.

the Tsai’s are J-E-T-S fans…
congrats!

Yups, what’s the scoops on practice today, I know some of you was dea?

2008 Donruss football is out. RGM is still identified as “Ryan Grice-Mullen” on his card. At least Donruss used a picture of RGM (in a Texans uniform), unlike Upper Deck.

whatelse you an sjmacro observed today?

jm2375,
who is Lyn to you?

A-House – I’ve been told that one before- No Shame My Name! Gotta respect that. As for the posts, I personally wasn’t offended by the content. Public forums can tend to stray sometimes. But, it sure was tiring skipping over all that stuff!

kelli,
did you really get to interview CB? cool! hope you have that print saved and framed!

Dolphins news from the Sun-Sentinel.

WR Davone Bess is the one receiver who consistently finds seams downfield. For that alone, he needs to make this team.

Give Reagan Mauia credit. He’s working hard on trying to improve his ball-catching skills by working on it after practice. He’s had ‘manos de piedra’ all camp so far.

ryan,

Looks like more definitive news about Corneliu Ingram’s knee won’t be known until tomorrow.

Florida senior Cornelius Ingram, one of the country’s best tight ends, missed Wednesday’s practice with a strained knee, Coach Urban Meyer said.

Meyer said he expected to know the results from Ingram’s MRI by late Wednesday night or Thursday morning. Ingram apparently injured the knee during one-on-drills on Tuesday.

“I don’t know much more than that,” said Meyer, who believed Ingram injured his left knee.

When asked if there is any indication if the injury is serious, Meyer said “not now, no.” The Sentinel left a message with Gwen, Ingram’s mother.

A strain suggests the knee is not torn, which could reduce the recovery time to weeks. A knee strain causes pain, swelling and difficulty in walking, according to medical web sites.

With regard to Rainey, this writer is downplaying the groin injury and suggesting that he’ll be back soon.

Redshirt freshman running back Chris Rainey suffered a groin injury from running track. Rainey missed most of Wednesday’s drills, but he ran off the practice field and should be ready to go soon.

Fullback Reagan Mauia dropped another pass in the flat Wednesday, giving him roughly a half-dozen drops in the past few days.

Sparano doesn’t have an answer, but said extra time working with the quarterbacks or catching the ball from the pitching machine could help.

“But at the end of the day, it’s throwing and catching,” he said.

North Carolina used the wrong rules and incorrectly declared a football player ineligible! Their compliance people could have messed up this player’s life, as he’s now practicing with Valdosta State and has no guarantees for his athletic or academic future now.

Burlington Cummings standout Dwight Jones, who is currently enrolled at Valdosta State. Jones was supposed to be playing Division I football with North Carolina as part of the 2007 recruiting class, but was declared ineligible by the school. Despite a stint at Hargrave Academy, the wideout was again declared ineligible and transferred to Valdosta State in Division II. Case closed.

Or is it? According to InsideCarolina.com, Jones was judged under the wrong NCAA clearing house rules. The heart of the problem was the amount of core classes Jones took his senior year, which was 14. The requirement was bumped up to 16 for the 2008 class. For some reason, Jones was judged by UNC under the 2008 rules despite being a 2007 recruit. Whoops. Jones is already practicing for Valdosta State, which would pose a problem for his original desire to wear Carolina blue, but the school signed a release allowing the Heels to talk to him. Bottomline, Jones will need assurances from the NCAA that UNC’s new interpretation is correct and that he won’t be penalized for showing up in Chapel Hill having already enrolled at Valdosta.

NC State dealt with similar eligibility mix up with recruit William Beasley. Tom O’Brien announced earlier that Beasley didn’t make it academically, although it was “discovered” that the paperwork hadn’t been handled properly. End result? Beasley was eligible after all.

Still no clear cut favorite at RB for the Geckos.

Running back Mon Williams said he expects all the running backs to get time this season. Don’t be surprised if Williams, highly touted out of high school before injuries, becomes an pivotal part of the offense.

Momotaro,
This years Playoff Prestige has RGM as Grice-Mullen also.

My observations from practice today.

If UH is going to “take advantage” of the alleged shortcomings in the secondary of the Geckos, the balls need to get there quicker.
Saw back-to-back plays in eleven’s that would have cost the team two of their top three slots in a real game; the receivers can’t expect the ball placement to always be where it will protect them when they catch it. (UH had a real special guy throwing the ball last year in that regard.)
Pass pro can improve; incl. from the RB position.
Defense is ahead of the offense; but that is no shocker to anyone.
The team is ready to go full pads already; they wanna hit, better to do it with protection.

Re: Jason Rivers

Jason went undrafted but was signed by the Tennessee Titans as a free agent.

http://www.titansonline.com/team/players/bio.php?PRKey=459

Nice article about Wes Suan. I didn’t realize just how far back his link to JJ went.

When Suan was a freshman running back at Linfield College in tiny McMinnville, Ore., he was introduced to a local hotshot high school quarterback named June Jones, with whom he quickly became good friends.

“June was the best golfer in our group of friends, and I was the worst,” Suan said. “So when we went out to play, he and I got paired up a lot.”

Nice photo of Bess focusing on catching a pass.

Garret,

Wow!
I wonder who #2 son will meet in McMinnville this year?

USA loses to Denmark 2-0, Hope Solo was in the goal…maybe she still has her foot in her mouth after blasting her prior coach for playing Scurry as she remarked that she would have made the saves against the Brazilians.. Bachi big time…

Kelli ~

RE: #362

I remember reading the article and thinking. Whoa?…Ha’a!…Thanks for educating the fans in your very well researched story. As a Kanaka Maole, well known for residing out here on the ceded lands of the Wessai, I’m very happy to see a young lady of Asian descent take exception to all things Hawaiian.

I’m looking forward to meeting you at the K-call on the 16th. Maybe you can help me and The Punch Bowl Menehune re-write an all Hawaiian cheer for the Warriors.

Was that the result of an “arbor-ous” deliberation?

chawan_cut and mp: Thanks! Hopefully greater stories are coming as I return to Ka Leo for the fall. Most of my classmates from the journalism program are on the news desk, so I didn’t have any sports stories last semester and it seems like that’s where I’m headed again. The new news editor already e-mailed me an assignment. Just dandy! I think she’s trying to get ready for the semester, which is actually pretty smart.

Kekoa: Thank you. Living in Hawaii and being a reporter provides an excellent opportunity to become familiar with the different cultures. The ha’a is such a unique part of the team and I’m with Dr. Kanalu Young’s take on it — he told me how proud he was of the players for sharing the Hawaiian culture with the rest of the team.

Momotaro,
This years Playoff Prestige has RGM as Grice-Mullen also.

djmitcho,
I like that card because it has RGM in his UH uniform. But the Donruss Threads card is autographed. I’m hoping to pick up one of the Donruss Threads cards for cheap. Jason Rivers also has an autographed Donruss Threads card in a Titans uniform.

Evening Tsaikos!

Finally back home from a long day. Did a lot of driving. Lessee, Kailua to Hawaii Kai to Pearlridge to Wahiawa/Haleiwa/Waimea to Kapahulu to Kahala to Hawaii Kai and finally home to Kailua. Had a great time. Recommend parasailing to everyone not afraid of heights.

bhf2 – Lyn is my cuz on my mom’s side. Her mom & my grandpa were siblings.

OK, Boots and Kimos tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

Video interview with Colt by a Redskins TE in case you haven’t seen it:

Link from Tombo Ahi: http://chriscooley47.blogspot.com/2008/08/20-questions-colt-brennan-and-boozie.html

I wonder if that “screen phone” that Colt’s flipping around near the end of the video is the same phone he can’t text on. What’s he got there? LG Dare? Samsung Instinct? iPhone? Hm…

Wow Rob25! You sumbodi eh?! Make us all wondah?…who’s that person ST spotted sitting next to you? Nah, nah…j/k! Practice must have been a hoot! Don’t get much better than that…except maybe when we ‘pulehu’ gator tails!

99club ~ Good Morning!…Sirius doesn’t seem interested in expanding their footprint. Coverage by their ‘birds’ are ’bout the same as about 5 years ago.

I guess we gotta depend on scrambling around the internet finding backdoors and such to find the games ignored by the media. Otherwise, it’s the expensive packages from the cable companies.

At least we’ll be able to watch the Gators get flushed down their own swamp rat hole while enjoying a local style breakfast at Genji’s on the 30th!

if Hiflyer and PB’s brother get off late friday night or early saturday morning we can chat before heading out to Genji’s.

So SteveM when will the doors to Genji’s open on game day.

what time does Lisa’s close, I may join you if they have a cabaret permit to open until 4 am

Good morning Tsaikos everywhere!

Kekoa,
howzit howzit. yesterday fball practice wit da Keaau Courgas JV.

AHouse
yu right, your name, respect it. i’m assuming da chastise wuz da yakkin about da inu wendo an da vulgarahtee wit da tree, an references to …. 😀
so i goin lightin yu up in a nice way. akchally when i got home from practice an was catchin up wit yu guyz, my dark side, an nite time i get plenny dark sides 😀 wuz tinkin about dat sik huumah an my vishun went to da old Saturday Post poster i got somewhere downstairs – wit da runner on first base lookin at da pitcha an gettin ready fo leave da bag an steal second, an da first baseman standin dare wit his gloved right hand hanging, him whistlin, got his left hand holdin da ball on his left hip but hiding it from da runner, and he pretendin to look in da direkshun ah da pitcha but akchally his eyes slanted down towards da head ah da runnah, da pitcha akkin like he gettin ready fo windup (but he no mo ball, which is why i taut of da pitcha in da first place as i was readin da thread today). classic funny da postah. an i wouldn’t have thought about all dat if my funny bone wasn’t …. you get the idea. 😀
AHouse, wat yu tink, summa da braddas neva take Communication at UH? 😀 Me tooo… 😆

d1Shima,

regarding the slow connections you saw today, what you figah?
akchally, dats da vibes i get all day way ovah heeah in Hilo, jus
watchin da tv reruns ah da guyz throwin.

imo, da sweepin runnin qb is Inoke. da mo accurate throwin qb is inoke. but da fastah passin/delivery qb is alexandah. is dat wat yu tinkin too?

i’m also tinkin dat to get da runnahs outta da backfield an into a pass catchin situation, da oline gotta hold fo mo time. u tinkin day can do dat job?

an i’m tinkin about your comment “all State” to “all Stare,” for at least one ah da braddaz, gotta clear up da legal pikcha first, no like drag down da team. This is the best that can be done right now because when/if the trial thing heats up, its gonna heat up. This keeps it clean for the team all the while the action lets the young men know that the coaches still support them. The maxim “timing is everything” is so true! They’ll get their chances. Gotta take care of the past things first.

drumroll……..

23 days and counting!

three weeks till we catch da plane.

three weeks till i die my hair.

three weeks till i put da panko on da face.

three weeks till i take da bannah off da wall
(i use em fo shade ova da windows) an
hele on to Gainesville via MCO an da CC.

three weeks till my kids video da game so i can see rerunz
of the Warrior Wreckers.

i still get visions of Georgia in NOLa. i no foget dat one. Grrr..

Go Warriors…

the georgia DE played for the Colts last week, never touched Colt…to be successful our o line got to produce for us to score, and we will score,but the question is how many points can be score with the starting o line with the 3 amigos from last season in place. All we need is one more point than Florida then you take out your banana and whip out all over Gainesville.

oops before most senior citizens…must be late

Hiya!
Chx soup, gimchi and da blog… mmm.

http://theredskinsblog.com/

“I woke up this morning with the feeling that a huge roster move was going to be in the offing. Would the team have made a move for Brett Favre? Probably not — everyone here had been pretty blunt about that. But what about if Favre had gone to Tampa, and Jeff Garcia was available? Or if the Vikings cut Frerotte to make room for Favre, and my old In Gus We Trust shirt was going to become relevant again?

So when I got into Redskins Park today and saw a note on my computer, I was completely unsurprised. I knew by then that Favre had gone to the Jets and that the Jets were planning to release Pennington, so I figured that the Skins had decided to add an experienced West Coast QB to heighten competition at the backup spots.

Not exactly, but almost as exciting: “We signed free agent safety Justin Hamilton and released FB/TE Pete Schmitt.” A huge roster move indeed.”

Interesting. I keep forgetting that this is the NFL and you can be gone at any moment.

Redskins Report (humor)
Following up on Chris Cooley’s video interview of Colt and roomey yesterday, Clinton Portis got the next set of viewer questions:

http://chriscooley47.blogspot.com/

“One of the 20 questions was a celebrity offense. I looked no further than Clinton Portis to field this question. I think the pictures speak for themselves.

QB – Uncle Rico
FB – Mr. T. (Actually looks like our current fullback)
RB – Kung Fu Joe (Clinton choose him to fill his shoes)
TE – The Joker
WR – Forest Gump
WR – Sam Rockwell (Actually his character in The Green Mile)
T – Dewey Cox
G – Shrek
C – Rambo
G – The Terminator
T – Hightower (From Police Academy and did play in the NFL)”

Pomai- I’ve been sleeping since about 8pm and just got up to eat and take meds.

Colt -vs- Brett?
Redskins Aug 16 @ Jets 7pm ET Comcast/ WUSA
http://www.washingtontimes.com/weblogs/redskins/2008/Aug/07/favre/

“WOW. The meaningless preseason game a week from Saturday at the Jets suddently turned into a mega-media event with the trade late last night of superstar QB Brett Favre from Green Bay to New York. It’s doubtful that the Hall of Fame lock will play after less than a week of practice with his new team, but the game will be the Jets’ first at home since the trade and Gang Green will surely be out in full force to roar its approval of its new hero. Favre will be 39 in October, but he gives Jets fans hope that their team, 4-12 last year, can be a contender again. New York won just three playoff games the past 21 seasons, but Favre’s acquisition summons memories of the glorious 1968 season when Joe Namath and the Jets ruled the football world.”

Hi Bulla!
‘kay…meds are starting to hit and it will be naptime again.

I’m still trying to sort out the possible conflict comimg down the pike for the Tsaimeister—

Colt? Jets?
Colt? Jets?

Who to root for?

Then there’s gigi:

Colt? Brett?
Colt? Brett?

Nitey nite!

Great Morning All!

Ralph,

Eh you buggah! Take it EEZY widda Senior references; I still pay full price at McDonald’s!

bhf2,

I think it wouldn’t be a bad thing if the JC guys learned the offense sooner than later.
As far as the two freshman, BOTH of them are on the team. As I remarked to the parents of one of them, they just starting all over again now and that means doing plenny watching for now. A year ago they were getting most of the reps; that day will come again for both of ’em.

Morning, Tsaiko-Nation and Tsai-Meister,

Great reporting from camp.

Sofar it’s going about as well as I’ve expected. I have full confidence that we’ll be as ready as can be for the opener.

Have a great day everybody.

LizK,
Hopefully by this time you went back to bed. If not….wea da slippah!?!? haha
Get well soon! 🙂

HiHo

Good Morning Tsaikos and Tsaikettes!

Liz-

Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Please get better soon. The blog is not the same without you, not that a cold would keep you away.
Give the Kauai contingency my aloha.

I am freezing my okole off here in SF. Every day seems to get colder and colder. Finally turned up the thermostat….aaaaaahhhhhh.

I think we are going to eat some crab today.

Rob25-

That is a nice picture of you and Nalani Choy.

Wassssup Tsaiko Peeps!

I agree with A-sports. SF is freekin’ freezin’. I wen stow away in her luggage fo’ get hea. Da plane’s cargo hold was warmer than this.
Today we going stomp some crab.

UHFan-

No worries. Da mission is a go.

Have one awesome day everybody. Pray I don’t fall into da bay….I going sink like one stone.

Football is played on the gridiron.

Time to play the Gators!

Oh Yeah,
ALOHA KAKAHIAKA!
Just woke up to sign some papers for #3 son before he heads off to school. Man, that Tamiflu is a knock-out. I feel better but am still staying home to rest and blog.

*DPK stands to the side of addahknowjoe, snarling and growling, foamin’at the mouth, nodding his head in agreement…*

I am so glad that I see more and more people come to the realization that we will in fact win in da swamp.

Good morning everyone!

Not sure if anyone posted it already, but I just noticed Colt has another entry on the Redskin blog (dated Tuesday Aug 5).

http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=36944

d1島…..good morning brother.

my comment was not a dig on you. i just wanted others who would get too excited about that kind of stuff not to get overly involved in that kind of hype. i know, you know that no matter what the game is played and won in the trenches.

it is interesting how much information is coming out of gecko land regarding injuries, suspensions, and ak-47’s. all we have had is a-would-be-qb hitting the books and a tweaked leg on our beastly rb.

i do appreciate your reporting of all this stuff.

but, that is a good thing.

perhaps this just reflects the local style mentality to tough out any small kine oweees
