Looking ahead

The outline of the Warriors’ 2012 recruiting class is being shaped this week.

This is considered to be an evaluation period during which coaches may assess a prospect’s football talent and academic records. A school is permitted one call a week to the prospect during this period, but may not have in-person contact.

Embracing technology, the coaches are reviewing highlight DVDs and YouTube links.

It should be quite a show as UH, Nevada and Fresno State enter their final year of WAC membership. It is appropriate that the WAC Football Media Preview will be staged in Las Vegas in July. (The meet-the-media event was held in Salt Lake City the past three years.)

Quarterback Bryant Moniz is expected to be the Warriors’ representative.

Even offensive coordinators are on a budget. Here’s Nick Rolovich preparing his power lunch:

What does yesterday’s ruling in the NFL dispute mean?

According to our expert, “legally it lifts the lockout. Technically it doesn’t.”


The matter goes to the Court of Appeals. If a stay is granted, it goes back to a lockout. If not, it’s back to business — under the 2010 conditions.

That would be a good news/not-so-good-news situation for the players. The 2010 season did not have a salary cap (good for the players), but it did not have a salary floor (not so good for the players). Tendered free agency is after the sixth full season, not the pre-2010 minimum of four seasons. What’s more, there were limited benefits. For instance, players could not put money into an NFL-matching retirement account.

    The ruling lifting the lockout is in front of the 8th circuit court of appeals…and they are NOT union-friendly.

    Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times interviewed a former chairman of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) who described the 8th Circuit as reversing many of their decisions against employers.

    Former chairman William Gould said, “[p]hilosophically, they’re hostile to the rights of unions and workers to engage in union activity, and, in this case, not to engage in union activity.” Gould held the position until 1998, and the current composition of the 8th Circuit is 9 Republican appointees to 2 Democrats, with many of the appointees coming during George W. Bush’s presidency.

    Good morning!

    Powered by peanut buttah!


  6. Garret April 26, 2011 8:54 am

    I wish the coaches well with this recruiting class. Lots of offers are out there already and a number of recruits have committed, but the bulk of the recruits west of Texas are still available.

    At least the coaches can sell the MWC to the recruits instead of being asked about the stability of the WAC like last year.


  7. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 9:01 am

    Nothing wrong with peanut butter. But did he add jelly, too? Otherwise, too dry.


  8. GRM April 26, 2011 9:03 am

    Yeh!!! TOP 10.


  9. LK April 26, 2011 9:03 am

    Peanut butter, better than VeggieMite.

    Don’t forget to tune in the the BC show tomorrow, SA Associate Editor Curtis Murayama will be doing his NFL draft preview all morning.


  10. BG April 26, 2011 9:04 am

    No can beat PB & guava jelly sandwich.

    Good morning everyone! Incredibly beautiful day!


  11. al April 26, 2011 9:06 am

    gg…your peanut butter must be very old to be so dry. mine’s very sticky inspite of being two and a half years old.


  12. madeinhawaii April 26, 2011 9:09 am

    nutella!


  13. madeinhawaii April 26, 2011 9:09 am

    morning!


  14. kawika49 April 26, 2011 9:09 am

    good thing you guys nevah say peanut with a Chinese accent. I used to listen to Titus Chan pronounce Peanut oil.


  15. rage777 April 26, 2011 9:11 am

    I hope the UH coaches really embrace technology and have a twitter feed and use Skype to contact the prospects.


  16. al April 26, 2011 9:11 am

    curt…the twin towers left the airport after two days where no one picked them up. they went home and decided to tryout for the national soccer team instead. i think they both are goalies.


  17. rage777 April 26, 2011 9:12 am

    Garret,

    Should it matter that the court doesn’t like unions when the players union disbanded? Isn’t that the whole point of the lawsuit is that they are not a union anymore so they can’t lock them out?


  18. Derek April 26, 2011 9:18 am

    BG, one of my favorites for a simple lunch.

    By the way, what recruitis from this year’s class will be grayshirting? Alo, Alexis, Gray, Henderson?

    Al, is Darnell still in the picture? Did he make a visit? Stokes looks real smooth, but from NYC don’t you think that’s a long shot to make it to Hawaii? So, at this point the PG prospects are maybe Shaquille, Darnell, and Nenad! Of the three, who do you prefer?Anybody else? Who’s the big?


  19. Michigan Warrior April 26, 2011 9:23 am

    Howzit, everyone!

    Gotta pick up the elementary kids… then back to make some…

    Peanut butter & guava jelly sammies!!!


  20. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 9:25 am

    Guava jelly? You guys should try PB and ORANGE MARMALADE. The taste of orange rind is heavenly!


  21. tommui April 26, 2011 9:48 am

    GOOD MORNING HAWAII!

    We once picked up a bottle of almond butter made by the Armish folks – still sitting around unopened after seven-eight years – probably not too rancid as Rap would say!


  22. LizKauai -iPad April 26, 2011 10:00 am

    Aloha Kakahiaka!

    Cold, wain, wind, sun, rain, wind, sun, cold, wind ,rain, sun, cold, rain.


  23. Stephen Tsai April 26, 2011 10:09 am

    The one argument I don’t buy is that the owners face more risk, so they deserve more money. I don’t think that’s really the case when they split the TV money, get to keep the luxury box moolah, and have a draft and scheduling that ensure parity. As we’ve learned from baseball (Dodgers, Mets, Expos) and basketball (Hornets), pro organizations always provide safety nets for owners.


  24. Stephen Tsai April 26, 2011 10:09 am

    By the way, Rolo did splurge and use jelly.


  25. Da Punchbowl Kid April 26, 2011 10:11 am

    Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂

  26. Da Punchbowl Kid April 26, 2011 10:15 am

    Good Morning Mr. Tsai.

    Sadly, my diet doen’t allow PBJ these days. I love the stuff.


  27. Da Punchbowl Kid April 26, 2011 10:17 am

    Not to sound simple, but it seems as though the owners always have the advantage. I feel for the players who are worried about having to play extra games under the new proposals.


  28. Da Punchbowl Kid April 26, 2011 10:18 am

    Hey Liz,

    How’s the weather? 😆

    Wish could have some like that here every once in a while.


  29. SteveM April 26, 2011 10:19 am

    Good morning everyone!

    ST — Where (what hotel) will the WAC media preview will be held?

    Hmmm…ST posts 4 items in his blog entry above and mostly everyone is talking about the peanut butter and fuud….

    …glad everything is all right. 🙂


  30. Ralph April 26, 2011 10:20 am

    Did Rolo offer you a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?


  31. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 10:22 am

    Ralph, Rolo is on a budget so he probably did not offer ST a sandwich.


  32. Kekoa April 26, 2011 10:23 am

    Liz ~ ‘Nuff arready. It’s the Oregonian weather way of telling you Go Home! You had way too much fun. Time to go back to the quiet of Waimea town, and relax.

    Btw…wats da latest scoops on Alex? Where is he camping out this week?


  33. BG April 26, 2011 10:24 am

    OK, a little skinny on sports news this morning unless you’re into the NBA play-offs so I’ll ask… DPK, what’s in PB&J that’s not good for your health. It doesn’t have cholesterol does it? I know it does go rancid and that’s not easy to detect (look out al!!!).


  34. koakane ip4 April 26, 2011 10:29 am

    pjs no can beat mea ono pua cheeehooooo


  35. madeinhawaii April 26, 2011 10:31 am

    BG…. sugar and calories… not to mention CARBS in the bread… and remember corn syrup is converted directly into fat and is your enemy if it’s in the jam/jelly. We only buy Jam/jelly with sugar and no corn syrup… more expensive but is one less worry.


  36. madeinhawaii April 26, 2011 10:33 am

    Oh yeah.. and the three cups of coffee it takes to sometimes dislodge the chunks that get stuck in your throat is a no-no, too.


  37. BG April 26, 2011 10:39 am

    mih, yes…all true, but I’m glad to hear that it’s not the PB. I can’t remember the last time I had jam/jelly…are the artificial sweeteners that some manufacturers use any good? Taste-wise or for the body?


  38. BG April 26, 2011 10:42 am

    Coffee? Wait, I just read that 3-5 cups of coffee/day was good as part of a program to prevent Alzheimers…I’m so confused. Please say that you meant the sugar that people put in it (I drink my black).


  39. J April 26, 2011 10:42 am

    PB and honey…

    PB and dill pickles is also good, but not budget-friendly.


  40. Slugger April 26, 2011 10:42 am

    Need to buy p-nut butter without added sugar/corn syrup.

    Kekoa,

    Barefoot League guy didn’t hear of AG showing up this week. LizK?

    Food Network hits the Warrior Beat! lol


  42. SteveM April 26, 2011 10:45 am

    A friend gave mom some “homemade” peanut butter last week. Tastes great and has little pieces of peanuts about the size of sand grains. Softer and more liquid in texture than the national brands. I hear some markets sell it.


  43. mctruck April 26, 2011 10:47 am

    I like to spead chuncky peanutbutter over pancakes w/mrs butterworth syrup. Dats what I call, “heavy-duty.” side of bacon…..yammy!!


  44. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 10:47 am

    Buy reduced fat Peanut Butter, Skippys brand.


  45. mctruck April 26, 2011 10:49 am

    pass da milk, please.

    I think it was two cups of coffee provided the coffee is double flitered to remove the carcinogens.

    Back to football…. So what’s going on with the NFL draft, anyway? Will there or won’t there be free-agent options this season? I’m kinda confused.


  51. BG April 26, 2011 11:11 am

    Tell you folks a story…this morning I had a voicemail from Roxane, a very nice lady from the UH Athletics dept. The voicemail said that The Letter-winners Club was having trouble verifying my eligibility to join and that I should contact Cha-cha Kinilau at the club which I did. For those of you who know Cha-cha, she is also a wonderful lady. But, she told me that I needed to contact Derrick Inouchi who does the verifications. And so I called Derrick. All of you who know Derrick…just a great guy. I’ve had one or two occasions to say hi to him after Lois Mann left but not that he would remember me out of the thousands of people he meets. He explained to me that the club calls him to verify letter winners, but he had no records of the UH track team since his office was established after the demise of the sport and all he could do was tell them that he could not certify. Of course, I understood his position and told him it was no big deal. If the club declined my application because of lack of certification, it didn’t faze me at all. I had put in my application at the prodding of one of the members and I thought it was a good idea because of some of the activities that the club was doing for the athletic program. The LWC is just another avenue to support UH athletics in addition to the Tsaikos (for me).

    After I hung up, I gave it a few minutes thought and decided that it would all work out. If the objective of the club is exclusivity, they’ll turn me down and I’ll thank them for it. If the main objective is to promote UH athletics, I’ll find a spot there to do my part. I look around me and I find that I’ve already been a part of the biggest “fratority” in the US, and part of the best sports (& food) related ohana in the world. What more does a body need?


  52. Stephen Tsai April 26, 2011 11:11 am

    Yes, Rolo offered me P&J.

    He also offered me pretzels.

    I declined the sandwich. Had some pretzels. Then we went to L&L. (Is it a bad thing when the counter woman knows my order?)


  53. Stephen Tsai April 26, 2011 11:12 am

    The media day will be at Orleans.

    News conferences are closed to the public, but you can hang out in the lobby and chat to players and coaches, if you wish.


  54. madeinhawaii April 26, 2011 11:14 am

    gigi,

    Reduced fat vegetarian products really make little sense to me since that kind of fat usually passes through your system and helps takes the bad fat with it… there is no LDL cholesterol in vegetable products. Animal fats are what causes the body to boost cholesterol in the blood in order to process the fats, not vegetable fats – unless they are modified through hydrogenation or made rancid.


  55. Stephen Tsai April 26, 2011 11:15 am

    BG:

    I think the main objective is to get your $100 annual membership.

    Forget the run-around. Just call Donovan’s assistant, Jeannie, and ask Donovan to call you back. He will get you in the Letter Winners Club. Maybe if you brought a picture of yourself in track uniform it also would help.

    And bring your $100.


  56. BG April 26, 2011 11:16 am

    Thanks mih! Ain’t nuthin a person can’t find here on the blog!!!

    mctruck! You were making my mouth water! I can imagine that concoction on sweet bread french toast!


  57. madeinhawaii April 26, 2011 11:18 am

    BG…

    Another example of the poor record keeping at UH, eh? Not to mention contract renewals or initial contracts… ..

    What’s happening with Mack’s contract?


  58. Stephen Tsai April 26, 2011 11:18 am

    Jm:

    Sorry, I was off the blog most of yesterday.

    But here’s the link to the volleyball site:

  59. Stephen Tsai April 26, 2011 11:20 am

    By the way, the Star-Adverstiser lost to a college newspaper for our online volleyball coverage.


  60. Stephen Tsai April 26, 2011 11:24 am

    No progress on Mack talks.


  61. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 11:26 am

    so is Mack gonna hire an attorney to represent him like Gib has?


  62. madeinhawaii April 26, 2011 11:27 am

    I assume, Charlie Wade has his contract in place? I think Trapaso had a recent extension…

    So that leaves, Football, Men’s basketball, Softball… and possibly women’s BB after next season?


  63. BG April 26, 2011 11:28 am

    ST

    Uhhh…dey already have my money! Had to send it in with the app. Thanks for the suggestion, but I’m just adverse to taking a route that by-passes what the average person needs to go through. Still have my UH letter in a storage trunk somewhere…but heck, I could have bought it at a garage sale!

    Say…does anyone know of George Butterfield, Alan Nash, or Chip Martin…their whereabouts? Chip was the ’65 state hs hurdles champ and stood 6′ 2-3″. You can imagine what we looked like standing next to each other. 😀 I managed to beat him in the 440 yard intermediate hurdles in the last meet of the season to win my letter. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!


  64. Stephen Tsai April 26, 2011 11:29 am

    Gigi:

    Mack has an attorney representing him.


  65. BG April 26, 2011 11:29 am

    mih…nah, not poor record keeping, I’m so old I was there before they even thought to keep records! lol


  66. Stephen Tsai April 26, 2011 11:35 am

    BG:

    Not to burst the illusion here, but there’s not a great data bank at UH.

    The only verification they have is through media guides, and they didn’t make media guides for track or swimming or golf back in the day.

    That’s the reality.

    I worked a few months in the sports information department when I was a student. I remember what they had or didn’t have.

    So if you’re expecting them to verify your application, I’m pretty sure they called up an old guy and said: “Ever heard of BG?”

    So stop by Donovan’s office with your jersey (or, even better, letter) and enjoy your membership.


  67. kawika49 April 26, 2011 11:36 am

    BG they should have the article in the Star Bull morgue.


  68. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 11:40 am

    Kawika, for some reason the Star Bulletin online archive is no longer available. Too bad.

    When I tried to access one of my columns, the StarBull URL sent me directly to the current issue of the Star Advertiser.


  69. huh April 26, 2011 11:44 am

    #52 – you have a “usual”?? hahaha


  70. tommui April 26, 2011 11:50 am

    BG – the year book would have pictures unless you were not around when the pictures were taken.


  71. kawika49 April 26, 2011 11:51 am

    #68 I mean the microfiche…one.


  72. BG April 26, 2011 11:51 am

    ST…mahalo

    kawika…interesting suggestion! Don’t know if it’s really important to me to go check. But, OMG! I can hear ST’s voice saying how important it is to keep copies of sports articles lol. Might be a nice stroll through memory lane to go look up some of the track results. Back in the day, it was mainly all-comers meets and the armed forces teams were very strong along with some of the elite hs athletes.


  73. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 11:53 am

    kawika, oh — yeah, I think you can see the microfiche of newspaper articles at the State Public Library downtown. Go to the Serials Dept.


  74. kawika49 April 26, 2011 12:00 pm

    The one at the archives are good too (just next door to the library.) Spent many moons there doing research.


  75. LK April 26, 2011 12:02 pm

    #51. BG,

    Did they do a UH yearbook back then? There may be an archived copy in Hamilton/Sinclair.

    It’s so important for us to document our younger selves, yet kids nowdays think that facebook/computers/”the Cloud” are so permanent that they disdain school yearbooks, and hard copy photos of their youth. Thirty to fifty years from now, social networks won’t be the same, computer media won’t be the same, the cloud will have evaporated, but hard copies that you can pick-up and read will still be around. JMHO.

    In any case I would hope that they’ll accept your application, so that you may be properly honored.


  76. Stephen Tsai April 26, 2011 12:06 pm

    Huh:

    There’s an Italian restaurant in Manoa. Go there every so often with Leahey.

    Waiter always asks: “Do you want the usual?”

    I’m like, sure.

    A few years earlier, I ordered chicken meatballs.

    It was good, but not great. But I always get the same thing because it’s one of the only places where I have a “usual.”


  77. LK April 26, 2011 12:07 pm

    Hey Kawika49/BIK Hilo chapter,

    I hear A-Sports is in Hilo this week at a craft fair. Heard she is bearing Tsai-ko badges.


  78. BG April 26, 2011 12:08 pm

    Thanks gg/kawika! I’ll see if I can find time to stop by the archives when I’m in town. Been really busy laying around the house doing nuttin and trying to learn to play golf in between doing nuttin…gigi, you know how hard that is!


  79. Stephen Tsai April 26, 2011 12:09 pm

    Bulletin and Advertiser used to share an in-house library when both were at the Kapiolani building. When the Bulletin moved out, Advertiser gained access to the archives.

    Just before the Advertiser closed, a firm was hired to put all of the microfiche copies of articles onto digital.

    I have no idea where the digital copies are now. Maybe a coworker might know.


  80. BG April 26, 2011 12:09 pm

    gigi, I meant how hard it is to learn to play golf! 😀


  81. Stephen Tsai April 26, 2011 12:10 pm

    Or BG, just bring your jersey to Donovan.


  82. BG April 26, 2011 12:13 pm

    Stephen, you’re really helpful (#79) NOT. Those microfiche must be really valuable stuff! That’s history!


  83. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 12:15 pm

    BG, I notice how much time you spend on the blog these days. Terrific!

    When May rolls around, I plan to contact a golf instructor and ask if he is available to teach us how to swing and putt on weekends.

    Who’s your teacher, BG?


  84. BG April 26, 2011 12:18 pm

    Tom

    Thanks for your suggestion too! I don’t ever remember seeing a photog at any of our practice sessions. Track season was kinda late in the school year so I wouldn’t be surprised if the yearbook staff was busy trying to finalize stuff.


  85. Michigan Warrior April 26, 2011 12:24 pm

    I came across something, but not sure if it would help.

    “Hawaii Sports: History, Facts, and Statistics” by Dan Cisco.

    Maybe this book has names of UH Track and Field stuff, maybe not. The sample online version is pretty detailed. Maybe this book exists in a local library nearby. Kinda wish I was back home, so I could visit a public library to do some searching.


  86. Stephen Tsai April 26, 2011 12:33 pm

    I’m just trying to save you some time, BG.


  87. d1shima April 26, 2011 12:35 pm

    Let BG in! Let BG in! Let BG in! 🙂


  88. d1shima April 26, 2011 12:37 pm

    To UHAD:

    I may never attend another UH track meet again until BG is allowed into the LWC.

    There. That oughta do it…


  89. d1shima April 26, 2011 12:40 pm

    Orleans, huh? I know someone who’ll be there soon.


  90. Stretch April 26, 2011 12:40 pm

    Wow BG, never knew you was a UH athlete. Awesome!


  91. jm2375 April 26, 2011 12:43 pm

    Howzit Tsaikos!

    Happy Tuesday.

    PBJ, yummmm. Nutella, yummmm.

    mih – have you tried Crepes No Ka Oi in Kailua? They have a couple of dessert crepes with Nutella in them.


  92. Kazz on Droid_X April 26, 2011 12:48 pm

    Made,

    I think Coach Coolen is currently in the second or third year of a five year deal.

    Cant remember.


  93. Kazz on Droid_X April 26, 2011 12:49 pm

    Oops. This season is Coolen’s 2nd year of a 5yr deal.


  94. madeinhawaii April 26, 2011 12:50 pm

    jm2375…

    It’s my wife that really likes nutella… I guess I gotta go take her there, then. After all, she’s French and she knows her crepe!

    Mahalo.. or should I say… Merci beaucoup!


  95. Kazz on Droid_X April 26, 2011 12:51 pm

    ST,

    Is five years the most UH can offer? I noticed that the magic #s are 3 and 5 for most head coaches.


  96. madeinhawaii April 26, 2011 12:52 pm

    Kazz…

    Thanks…

    Hopefully they’ll hammer out a deal for Gib and Mack before Shoji’s is up for renewal, too. Hopefully he’s not thinking of retiring just yet!

    Hi All!

    BG: and UH is hosting WAC Championships for Track & Field this year……

    (By the way…they are looking for volunteers for the track meet…2nd week of May…)

    ST: my apologies for an off football plug!


  99. LizKauai -iPad April 26, 2011 1:10 pm

    Ok. Kekoa..finally got out to the garden for a few minutes between showers. Now for som Ethiopian food and back to Hawaii in the morning.

    AG may have been on the road but I think he will be back home for the Thursday-Friday-Saturday weekend. Good luck and God Bless our Warrior candidates for jobs on the next level.

    OMG! You would do that for me (big drops of crocodile tears)! Seeing as the UH track team is now female and work so hard they have six-packs that I only wish I had, I would never be able to stop going to the meets! Sometimes it’s worth it to just watch Kazz watch Amber going over high jump bar! 😀


  101. BG April 26, 2011 1:21 pm

    Hi JaM!

    I know you and Brie been working hard at the track meets. Couple more weeks and 2011 season will be done. Thanks very much for all you do!

    Who do I contact to volunteer? Carmen?

    Huh? I’ve never seen a high-jump competition. Besides, my usual game reactions might be “inappropriate” at a track meet.

    Surprised some of the stuff I spit out at softball towards the umps and opposing coaches hasn’t gotten me kicked out yet.

    derek…not sure what the status is on darnell taylor. he recently had a successful score on his SAT’s. it has got to be a mutual interest before we trip anyone.

    i do know that the current recruiting target is shaquille stokes and i believe he trips here next week. he has colo st, tcu, w. kentucky, and hawaii on his top four. he too just qualified, so it would behoove us to move quickly before more competition is involved.

    from several birdies come the hinting that another “big” is high on our list and a trip may be set up or has been set up.

    it could come down to whoever signs on the dotted line first or perhaps some innovative roster adjustments may be forthcoming.

    derek…nenad may be out of the picture he allegedly pledged his allegiance to a euro pro team. however, he could have signed a non paying contract which keeps his amateur status or could have been failsafe move on his part if he doesn’t pass his sat’s next month.

    we shouldn’t concern ourselves about from where the prospects come from. every kid has there own reasons for attending the school that they choose. we have our share of great players come to hawaii when we least expected it.

  112. Pauoa Boy April 26, 2011 2:23 pm

    If it was me I would take Shaq Stokes in a heart-beat. The team cannot run smoothly without the point man running the show. It was evident this past year when Hiram went down and Bobby Miles took over for a minute before Miah was done with football. Gotta think Bobby Miles still has alot to work on, his game in my book is still not mature enough for D1 level of play, he lacks the confidence and poise in his ballhandling abilities. Miah has football first and I’d rather him focus and excel on the field rather than the court if at all possible. He’d make a solid backup or contributor once football is done but cannot just rely on him to be our point guy. I hope B. Miles has improved and plays with more poise but I’m still skeptical on him. Anyway, we got Blakes but he’s more of a slasher and 2 guard. Same with D. Mitchell, plus Zane and Wiseman are decent ball handlers but still not true point guards. A guy like Stokes who you can see has great vision and ball handling skills would definitely get the team going. His game may be a little street but you can’t teach the type of vision and BBall IQ that he has already… Go get um Coach Gib…

    Eventhough we got a big on the radar, I think Vander is still coming into his own and will be a double-double monster this year. Davis Rozitis could be a nice compliment to Joaquim with a more Euro type game. I think Hauns Brereton brings much needed toughness and muscle to go along with Joston and Wiseman. Ronnie Stevens if his game is D1 ready could step in right away. Plus we’re good on the wings with Zane, DeShawn, Dillon, and Brumfield. I just think we need a solid point, cause Bobby Miles needs work, Pi’i Minns is unproven, Jace Tavita is not a ballhandler, Miah is playing football first, Blakes is more of a scorer/slasher vice a pass first guy, so Stokes would be my guy if we can get him.


  113. Stephen Tsai April 26, 2011 2:34 pm

    Are we that old that we’re starting to see players named after Shaq?

    It will be time to hit the assisted-living home if there’s a high school player named LeBron.

    They’re paid adults. If they wish they can have me removed.

    Im abiding by the NCAA rules of not using profane language or gestures (95% of the time) or using sexist or racist remarks (in compliance 100% of the time).

    If a little piece of those opposing coaches or umps get their feelings hurt by telling them they are horrible or to “shut up” then perhaps they need to wake up to reality.


  115. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 2:47 pm

    ST, your name is really old, dating back to Saint Stephen.

    I was named after Glenda Farrell, the movie actress of the 1930s and 1940s. Really unusual name, dontcha think?

    Yup ST, we getting old. Pretty soon we’ll see several local high school QBs named Colt.

    Upper campus handling certain coaching contract negotiations huh?

    Translation: UH Upper Campus is handling the contracts of Greg McMackin, Gib Arnold, and Dave Shoji. Charlie Wade and Mike Trapasso maybe??? Probably not though.


  119. Stephen Tsai April 26, 2011 2:50 pm

    I know about Saint Stephen’s. That’s the button-hook turn on the Pali that causes everyone to screeeeech on the brakes.

    Hi wafan! How are you?


  133. wafan April 26, 2011 4:26 pm

    The upper campus folks are not able to figure out the contracts. Are they going to hold the UHAD responsible for the higher cost of the negotiated contracts now that the coaches have been successful? Or will they do the honorable thing and admit they erred, accept responsibility and solve the problem?


  134. wafan April 26, 2011 4:27 pm

    Hi, GG!

    Hope you are feeling better!

    Based on what you ate the other day I would say you are feeling great!!!


  135. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 4:28 pm

    Yes, wafan, I have to avoid small seeds.


  136. wafan April 26, 2011 4:28 pm

    BTW, I am doing okay.

    The state conference is finished, my kids did okay, and I survived.


  137. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 4:30 pm

    Talk about dedication, my elder daughter and other math teachers had to teach on Good Friday (holiday) and will teach on May 1 (Sunday). Their students feel they need more help to prepare for the SAT.


  138. wafan April 26, 2011 4:31 pm

    If you have to avoid small seeds to you not chew the large seeds?

    Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!


  139. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 4:32 pm

    I will never eat a cucumber again. Too many small seeds! And then there is the lowly tomato — seeds too.


  140. al April 26, 2011 4:33 pm

    while it would be nice to have a “small shaq” on board. gerry blakes for now is the point guard of the future.

    however, let’s say “baby shaq” signs on. this would be great by the way, i am not down playing stokes abilities. you can see th future developing with “gerry, gerry” and “shaq attack” both on the floor at the same time. opponents could get dizzy if we employed the two as combo guards at the same time with the situation predicating whom is the point and whom is the 2. it would drive defenses crazy.

    this would make for down low guys even more open for some easy pickings.

    gibber likes to employ the slash and dash and he slowly and methodically building his team to suit his style. we could get two deep in another year or two.

    what i like is that it all starts with tough defense according to our coach.


  141. wafan April 26, 2011 4:37 pm

    GG . . .

    Remove the seeds!

    When the schools adopt the minimum 180 school days (what we have) the Hawai’i kids will be in school for a long time — so many state holidays.

    We do not observe Good Friday or Election Day — or we would be in school this year into July!


  142. al April 26, 2011 4:38 pm

    speaking of which, the first contract was in hand for two and a half weeks. now the baton/conbtract is passed to the gibber’s lawyer. does this mean we are light years away from finalizing or just the wrinkles need ironing out.

    in one year gibber’s proven that he can move the mountains. he has opened the gates and is willing to lead us in the garden. but, we can’t take hime cheaply or for granted. hopefully, the upper campus has learned a valuable lesson when jj finally out of frustration just walked.

    it sounds like gibber wants at least six more years and more if the situation is fairly handled.

    but, we need to due diligence and make it happen no later than the china trip.


  143. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 4:39 pm

    wafan, interesting.


  144. al April 26, 2011 4:40 pm

    tomatoes and cukes are the easiest veggies to have the seeds removed. a teaspoon will do the trick in seconds.


  145. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 4:40 pm

    al,

    if Gib chooses to leave for a more lucrative position, people will call for JD’s termination.


  146. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 4:41 pm

    al, kind of hard to do that at a party or a restaurant.


  147. al April 26, 2011 4:42 pm

    st…shaquille o’neal is 39 years old…so yah, our latest recruit could have been or may have very been named after him.

    Nytal!!!

    no worry beef curry…it ain’t going to happen. it’s nearly a done deal already.


  151. al April 26, 2011 4:46 pm

    this hawaii job is like a child having his first taste of triple chocolate cake and hagen daz vanilla.

    it is imperative to gibber’s ego, pride, sense of accomplishment, his faith. his family, and his future to at least get us to the dance and to win there as well, twice.


  152. al April 26, 2011 4:48 pm

    he’ll end here having had the biggest salary ever for a hawaii mbb head coach. it could be six years, ten years, or who knows he may never leave.


  153. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 4:50 pm

    let’s hope Gib is not merely a flash in the pan, a one lucky shot kind of coach.

    let’s see a repeat of his success during next season.


  154. madeinhawaii April 26, 2011 4:57 pm

    Gigi..

    Das right.. remove the seeds or make smoothies with cucumbers, tomato and fruits… remember, you still need that fiber… Most of us only get 1/3 the total fiber we need to take each day.


  155. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 5:02 pm

    MIH, trouble is the blender does not crush the seeds, so they must be removed prior to blending for smoothies.

    Are donations (by checks) to Na Wahine tax deductible? What is the money used for?

    100% of outright donations to the Na Wahine Softball Booster Club are tax-deductable.

    To do this, you MUST make the check out to “UH FOUNDATION” and in the memo line write: “Na Wahine Softball Booster Club”.

    All funds received goes towards supplementing the budget of the Rainbow Wahine Softball program.

    Some of the items the Na Wahine Softball Booster Club assists with helping to fund:

    -professional development of the coaches

    -post game meals for the student-athletes

    -supplementation of funds allocated for summer school for softball student-athletes

    -any additional athletic equipment or training aids not covered by the softball budget

    The Na Wahine Softball Booster Club operates as a non-profit entity under the “umbrella” of the UH Foundation in association with Ahahui Koa Anuenue.


  157. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 5:14 pm

    I sent a donation to UH Foundation recently and got a letter from them acknowledging it. They said they had put the money in the FUND FOR EXCELLENCE, whatever that is.

    Gigi,

    That might be a “general fund”.

    Booster clubs for UH athletics has their accounts under the UH Foundation. Donors must specify which athletic program/cause they want the money to go to.


  159. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 5:19 pm

    OK, I’ll make out another check to UH Foundation with that memo line. I hope it helps.

    Now that we don’t have mortgage interest to deduct from our taxes, we have to deduct donations instead. Seems like a worthy cause.

    Aloha Gigi,

    It is indeed a worthy cause, as is with all booster clubs for UH athletic programs.

    This is where supporters can make a difference in giving the financial “edge”, with regards to NCAA regulations and UH policies, to the programs and student-athletes they support.

    The student-athletes and the coaches of the Rainbow Wahine Softball program are appreciative of your contribution as well as the contribution of many all over Hawaii and the U.S. mainland.


  162. SteveM April 26, 2011 6:41 pm

    RE: #154

    Going to borrow someone’s “monku” face and cite from Wikipedia:

    “1999 – June Jones becomes the new head coach at Hawaiʻi and guides the Rainbow Warriors to the best single-season turnaround in NCAA history, winning nine games and a share of the WAC championship. Hawaii would go on to defeat Oregon State in the Jeep Oʻahu Bowl, 23–17.”

    Note that in 2000, the team went 3-9.

    At that point, I wondering what happened and if JJ was really worth all that money. Turned out he was, but I watch all new coaches with “cautious optimism”.

    As for ST’s note about upper campus handling contract negotiations, I think the president and Chancellor Hinshaw will do what’s best for everyone.


  163. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 6:45 pm

    SteveM, I just can’t see Mack making more than $1.1 million especially in such a poor economy.

    I wonder how the governor feels about Mack’s salary.


  164. Stephen Tsai April 26, 2011 6:46 pm

    I don’t see the problem with Gib’s contract. He agreed to a certain amount, and he’s being paid that amount. If he’s going to renege because a deal isn’t in writing, he’s not the man UH believes he is.


  165. Stephen Tsai April 26, 2011 6:48 pm

    Hinshaw’s not doing contracts, either.


  166. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 6:55 pm

    Ralph:

    What time is Saturday games?


  177. Ralph April 26, 2011 7:55 pm

    Camry 4 you can do it online on the UH athletics website.

    on the upper tab click on Support Athletics, a drop down content will appear, pick Giving online, it will take you to all the booster clubs and teams, select softball. Everything is self explanatory thereafter. You can also dictate how softball is to use your donation-scholarship, etc.


  178. Ralph April 26, 2011 7:56 pm

    Saturday games start at 4 pm. Come out to support Na Wahine.


  179. Ralph April 26, 2011 8:04 pm

    Camry 04 if you prefer donating by check, go to the UH athletic site once again, go to Women sports, pick softball, and on the sofball site, there is a softball links on the right column, at the bottom of the content there is a heading Na Wahine Booster Club membership form, open it,

    you will have an option of joining the boosters and/or making an outright donation without joining us. Check is made out to the UH Foundation, tax deductible, but you need to remember to put UH softball in the memo portion of your check for the proceeds to go to the softball account. Thank you.

  183. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 8:35 pm

    al, what has GHOSTBUSTERS got to do with the Warrior Beat? lol


  184. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 8:36 pm

    I think it’s crazy to talk about extending Gib’s contract when he has completed only 1 year.


  185. al April 26, 2011 8:43 pm

    oh…little do you know about this.

    you know when you are a rare commodity and have what others don’t, one could prosper.

    for example, if you had all the gold in the world right now you would rule the earth.


  186. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 8:46 pm

    what? more GHOSTBUSTERS music?

    ok. ‘Try wait’


  187. LizKauai -iPad April 26, 2011 8:47 pm

    Nice walk down memory lane, gigi, thanks! Hooe you will attend more T-Gates this season!

    Had a wonderful dinner with the family tonight. Heading home in the morning. Gonna miss everyone and the cool weather!

    Cmon, UH… Do the right thing by the Athletic Dept and the coaches.


  188. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 8:49 pm

    nope. hubby wants to know who Marvin Gaye is. Never heard of him.


  189. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 8:51 pm

    hey, Liz, you looked good in those pictures. Somehow, the last tailgate I attended wasn’t the same as in 2007.


  190. al April 26, 2011 8:53 pm

    191…am i surprised here?

    of course not. where in the world were you too in the sixties and seventies?

    siberia perhaps.

  192. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 8:56 pm

    #193 – hubby was a music ed major at UH — clarinet

    gigi was a music student at Columbia — violin

    both of us steeped in CLASSICAL music. duh! lol


  193. JaM April 26, 2011 8:57 pm

    So sad how Marvin Gaye passed…..


  194. Ralph April 26, 2011 9:08 pm

    I would say so, he being shot by his father really sucked.


  195. Jason April 26, 2011 9:08 pm

    I have a drawer of CDs ranging from Mozart and Beethoven to Kealiʻi Reichel and Hapa to Simon & Garfunkel and the Bee Gees.

    Just because you like classical doesn’t mean you can’t listen to other types of music. Geez, not knowing who Marvin Gaye is? 🙂


  196. JaM April 26, 2011 9:11 pm

    I love Chopin


  197. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 9:12 pm

    nope, the only music I listened to was classical. Hubby was probably more interested in other types of music but not me.


  198. SteveM April 26, 2011 9:13 pm

    On this day (April 26) in the first year (2007) of The Warrior Beat blog … count is only 277 comments on the day after Riley Wallace’s farewell dinner. It was also one of those “OH NO, OMG” milestone days. 😐 But first, the story from ST’s blog entry…

    Posted on: April 26, 2007 at 6:44:16 am

    Day 14/Farewell to Riley

    [practice report]

    * * *

    Last night’s farewell dinner was an indication that history will remember Riley Wallace more for his contributions to the basketball program than his coaching.

    The dinner netted $100,000. His friend Carolyn Berry matched that amount, bringing the total donation to $200,000 — all of which goes to a fund to endow basketball scholarships. Through the efforts of Berry (and Wallace and former athletic director Hugh Yoshida) the fund has raised more than $1.7 million.

    Wallace’s friend Sidney Hamada also has helped raise more than $300,000 through the basketball booster club’s annual golf tournament.

    His most significant contribution came during his appreciation speech, when he noted the importance of having a “welcoming committee.” His welcoming committee included Edith Tanida, Ken Takeuye, Dave Chun, Ron Kurihara, Ron Yee, Eddie Inouye and Stan Sheriff. He noted that the members, who became his best friends, stressed working well with others, and that achieving a goal is more important than receiving credit.

    And Wallace always gave credit — to John Waihee for building the Stan Sheriff Center; to Sheriff, Hugh Yoshida, Jim Donovan and Herman Frazier; to the business leaders.

    Despite his outwardly gruff appearance, Wallace worked well with others. That was apparent by the two former governors — Waihee and Ben Cayetano — who sat with Wallace at the head table. That was apparent with Wallace’s strong relationship with the media. And it was apparent with his relationship with Yoshida. The two had a famous public spat when Wallace protested the firing of Bob Wagner as football coach in 1995. Now they are good friends.

    Wallace will be missed.

    stretch,

    yup HF was there. he opened up the program, handed it over to MC billy v and then remained inconspicuous the remainder of the night.

    stephen gave a speech and poked fun at HF regarding the ‘s’. don’t know how he took that. stephen do you know?

    04/26/07 @ 07:45

    Oh oh…ST mentioned the “s” last night? Expect a call into the principal’s office…ha ha ha…

    GO WARRIORS!!!

    COLT FOR HEISMAN!!!

    Drinking Buddy is telling people that “Stephen was terrible” — hey, he knows my name — and that the athletic director is mad at me.

    04/26/07 @ 12:42

    Comment from: Stephen [Member]

    In times like this, when an AD and a Drinking Buddy are bad-mouthing me, I often think of these words:

    Comment from: Denise Konan [Member]

    Aloha football fans:

    I hope that you were able to join us on Christmas eve to witness an amazing game against ASU! We are so proud of the success of our Warriors.

    I know that you are all anxious to see the final lineup of opponents for next season. Athletics Director Herman Frazier keeps me informed of progress on this regularly. Without revealing any specifics, I can assure you that it will be a good season and that he has the situation well in hand.

    We’ll have an announcement out as soon as everything is confirmed in 2007. Also, don’t forget that the WAC typically doesn’t announce football schedules until January or February, so we are not really behind.

    04/26/07 @ 12:46

    Comment from: prideperiod [Visitor]

    Mr. Tsai I’m quite sure that your speech was quite informative as well as entertaining. If “Drinking Buddy” has a problem with it then that his problem for not being blessed with a sense of humor. If you ever get called into the office for a ‘one on one’ with the principal and his drinkling buddy, then let me know. I’ll go in with you to make sure that we have even sides. I would love to test their sense of humor or the lack thereof.

    Sounds like fun. Although I know that you have to much honor to play those types of games.

    Comment from: bulla [Visitor]

    ST,

    i’ll go with Pride and you if that comes to be. But you’re the celebrity, Pride is a former celebrity, and i drink cerebreal tea….so i’d go first into the fracas since i have nothing to lose….

    either way, where ever Pride goes i’ll follow to the bitter end……

    04/26/07 @ 13:50

    Comment from: Da Punchbowl Kid [Visitor]

    I am absolutely nobody, but I’ll go with pride and bulla too. Don’t know what I’d say, but it would be fun to watch. If there’s any trouble, well, put it this way, did I ever tell you guys that I can scream just like a woman if need be? And I’m talking a high pitched feminine sounding scream of sheer horror. 😉

    04/26/07 @ 13:58

    …nuff said. Visualize the foursome walking down the hallway and trying to fit through HF’s doors. 😐

    At home that night, there was sharp intake of breath and the exclamation, “Oh no…they’ll get arrested…!” as Peaches read the blog. I was ROTFL.


  199. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 9:13 pm

    ah well, what the heck. Nowadays, I listen to no music. Prefer silence.


  200. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 9:14 pm

    we do go to the opera though. and Broadway musicals like The Lion King.


  201. al April 26, 2011 9:17 pm

    i hope you know who michael jackson was.


  202. Jason April 26, 2011 9:18 pm

    Anyways, thanks everyone who has supported Moanalua High in the Vans contest! We’ve fallen behind in the last 24 hours, so please continue to tell others to vote for us in the Southwest Region. Four of my students participated in this project, and I would love nothing more than to be able to see them win this.

    http://www.vans.com/customculture

    The regional winner gets to send a team of students to NYC, and the grand prize is $50,000 for the school’s art program. I’m told they started the voting late, so the voting period was actually extended to May 2.

    BTW, here’s something that still annoys me: Last year, we were neck-and-neck with the other top school. Entering the final hours of the contest, we were behind, but slowly catching up. But about two hours before the scheduled end of the contest, there was a glitch that stopped votes from being registered. We ended up losing by 37 votes! 🙁


  203. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 9:18 pm

    yep, the 1 glove man


  204. Jason April 26, 2011 9:19 pm

    The sound of silence? 😉


  205. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 9:19 pm

    Jason, what happened to Radford? Did they enter at all? Do you know?


  206. Jason April 26, 2011 9:23 pm

    Who cares? 😉

    (I kid, of course. Moanalua and Radford are rival schools.)

    I don’t know, I’m not sure what Radford’s art program is like.


  207. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 9:37 pm

    ST, does JD have a Drinking Buddy, too?


  208. BG April 26, 2011 9:47 pm

    JASON! Happy to see your posts!

    JaM…thanks for info. I’ll follow up…

    Glad to see the rest of the Tsaikos today and sorry to cause a bit of a ruckus today…didn’t mean to.

    And can’t forget to thank SteveM for his strolls down memory lane…priceless!!!

    Tired and hitting the sack early…g’nite!


  209. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 9:47 pm

    It’s raining heavily in the Aloha Stadium area. Wow! Glad I took the trash out earlier.


  210. homey ℞ April 26, 2011 9:52 pm

    So hubby is sleeping on the curb?


  211. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 9:55 pm

    poor hubby. always maligned by the likes of homey.


  212. homey ℞ April 26, 2011 10:00 pm

    He’s in good company with all the rest I’ve maligned. I’d say I maligned almost all on here.


  213. BG April 26, 2011 10:01 pm

    Oh heck, JaM! I was copying down the info for the WAC championship meet and noticed that the dates are 5/10-5/13. I had hoped it was during the weekend. I committed a month ago to be in Makaha with a group of fellow Marauders (no, not the Bombers).

    BTW, Kazz, I was j/k about you being at the high jump competition. I was imagining that it would have been something you would have thoroughly enjoyed! Besides being pretty, Amber was beautiful to watch as she went through her precise steps and leapt so incredibly high into the air. I think all exceptionally skilled athletes have that ability to awe. Pole vaulters are incredible too.

    Fo’ shuah now…g’nite


  214. al April 26, 2011 10:21 pm

    so why are you taking the trash out?


  215. homey ℞ April 26, 2011 10:21 pm

    Boracay, nice beach but I rather have the North Shore.


  216. hubby April 26, 2011 10:25 pm

    homey – watch your step, little man!


  217. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 10:30 pm

    kitchen trash gets taken out every night.


  218. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 10:32 pm

    I always thought the North Shore was unswimmable and since there was no sandy beach, one could not soak up the rays and get a tan.

    I prefer Hanauma Bay.


  219. madeinhawaii April 26, 2011 10:33 pm

    Speaking of Amber Kaufman… I hope she is doing better and on the way towards recovery from her auto accident last October.


  220. madeinhawaii April 26, 2011 10:35 pm

    gigi..

    The North Shore pounds during December through April.. but from May till November, it’s usually pretty calm. Very nice, actually.


  221. madeinhawaii April 26, 2011 10:35 pm

    g’night everyone! Sweet dreams!


  222. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 10:35 pm

    MIH, there’s a nice pic of you and Beowulf in the Boise State tailgate link above. Check it out, if you haven’t already.

    #174 is where the link is at.


  223. d1shima April 26, 2011 10:40 pm

    Who is I. Maligned?

    Is he a Waipahu HS classmate of homey?


  224. madeinhawaii April 26, 2011 10:41 pm

    Thanks Gigi…

    I forgot I went to that game.. LOL..

    night all

    nite, MIH


  228. homey ℞ April 26, 2011 10:45 pm

    hubby – oooooo, I’m shaking.


  229. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 10:46 pm

    homey, just so you know, that was not my husband writing. He is at the gym right now, far from a computer.


  230. homey ℞ April 26, 2011 10:47 pm

    Marvin and now the North Shore is unswimmable? Some people really do live under rocks.


  231. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 10:49 pm

    North Shore has so many rocks, submerged and dangerous.


  232. homey ℞ April 26, 2011 10:52 pm

    I guess you really don’t know the North Shore. That’s ok, rock living has its benefit. LOL


  233. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 10:54 pm

    Well, anyway, I no longer swim or sunbathe. We went to the NS last year for lunch at Jameson’s, our fave restaurant there.


  234. homey ℞ April 26, 2011 11:00 pm

  235. papajoe2 April 26, 2011 11:01 pm

    I voted. Now good nite.


  236. homey ℞ April 26, 2011 11:02 pm

    d1 – Not a classmate. Well not for the six years I’ve been there.


  237. tommui April 26, 2011 11:06 pm

    Re: #155, 156 etc.

    When you have sacs in your gut and small seeds gets into them, you have inflamed gut (diverticulitis) which could be seeds as small as those in strawberries.

    That is why Gigi and others that have that condition which HURTS!


  238. Slugger April 26, 2011 11:07 pm

    Night all…


  239. tommui April 26, 2011 11:08 pm

    I usually don’t correct my sentences as I figure that everyone here is smart and can figure it out – and, did I mention, I’m lazy?


  240. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 11:10 pm

    Tom, as an attorney, you are supposed to be a wordsmith.


  241. gigi-hawaii April 26, 2011 11:11 pm

    night, Slugger


  242. iwonderwhytheyhateme April 26, 2011 11:13 pm

    #200,

    Sidney Hamada is a great supporter of UH athletics in general and very much a supporter of Basketball.

    Our families have been tailgating together before I was even old enough to go to football games! Time sure goes by in a flash! He used to bring Wallace over once in a while to join the T-gate and I remember when Anthony Carter came along several years back. It was a nice treat.

    Had no idea he raised over $300,000 from those golf tournaments. That is simply awesome!


  243. al April 27, 2011 12:08 am

    i’ll bet that the north shore has more sandy beach shoreline than the south shores.


  244. wafan April 27, 2011 3:17 am

    A great Hump Day to all!


  245. wafan April 27, 2011 3:18 am

    Have a safe trip home, Liz.

    Looks like you had a grand time down in the Southern PNW with your family and friends.

    Whoo-hoo!!!


  246. wafan April 27, 2011 3:19 am

    Obama finally released his birth certificate.

    What will the birthers talk about now?


  248. wafan April 27, 2011 3:23 am

    Oops, not his birth certificate.

    His Certificate of Live Birth.


  249. Stephen Tsai April 27, 2011 5:09 am

    Maybe the birthers will now talk about all of Trump’s bankruptcies?


  250. rage777 April 27, 2011 5:19 am

    The “birthers” will say that it’s a fake or doctored, but you probably already know that. He released the short form before he was elected. I think this is really a race thing, because shouldn’t people have asked George W. Bush, Dan Quayle, Sarah Palin, etc for their high school diploma records?


  251. rage777 April 27, 2011 5:23 am

    Actually Trump will say that he didn’t go into bankrupcy, his companies went into bankrupcy. But isn’t that kind of worse, why would you want the person that takes his company into bankrupcy to be in charge of the biggest business in the world? That’s why I wouldn’t vote for the Donald.


  252. Stephen Tsai April 27, 2011 5:30 am

    Weren’t two of Trump’s wives foreign born?


  253. rage777 April 27, 2011 5:34 am

    I know Ivanka was, but she isn’t running for President. She could probably give some really good gossip though. I can’t imagine how much skeletons are in Donald’s closet.


  254. Stephen Tsai April 27, 2011 5:37 am

    I was surprised that after the whole easy-credit mess that led to a lot of the economic woes, my mailbox still is full of easy-credit applications.

    History does repeat itself.


  255. CoolEthan April 27, 2011 5:51 am

    All in all, this has been a grand waste of time regarding the certificate.

    Too much money spent, too much time.

    It will continue to be a distraction up ’till the 2012 election.

    Could of all be avoided by doing the right notion.


  256. Dionna Bapties April 27, 2011 6:05 am

  257. d1shima April 27, 2011 6:10 am

    Great Morning All!

    Not really understanding the dilemma UHAD is having about travel to/from Vegas.

    “Because everybody has known for a long time what the date of the UNLV game is, a lot of people have booked early.”

    UH said it is studying the options of returning home after the Sept. 10 game at Washington or remaining on the mainland, as head coach Greg McMackin prefers. It had already held flights between Seattle and Las Vegas.

    Wasn’t UHAD the first to know the date of the game? Why are they looking for seats now?


  258. LizKauai -iPad April 27, 2011 6:20 am

  259. warriorsun April 27, 2011 8:20 am

    birthers?

    what about the far-left conspirators (nuts linking gw to 9/11) and earthers (al gore).

    look, obama could have settled this issue long ago but didnt. as usual, little transparency and poor leadership that only polarized our nation. the comforting thing about hawaii, by the time the state starts counting the 2012 presidential votes, obama will be declared–a one-term president.
