Wong is taking the head indoor job at Pepperdine, replacing Troy Tanner who announced he was leaving last week. Some of you may have heard it on Bobby’s show this morning. Had tried to confirm it yesterday but … sometimes you get it first, sometimes you don’t. Not happy but UH and Papperdine had agreed to a joint announcement today at 8 a.m. HST. Scott said it was a very tough decision. He’ll be leaving for Pepperdine no later than […]

much like my ornament addiction, just can’t step away. The all-region team is supposed to be announced later today. I would think Taylor and Magill, maybe Adolpho. we’ll see I am flying out in a bit so may miss the announcement. If someone could get to that first, much appreciated. Will check in when I get back home. Aloha for now.

Going to take a few days off so behave. No anarchy, promise? A couple of notes I didn’t get to earlier. Mendoza set a UH record for digs in a 4 set match with 32. Previously held by Ka’aihue 31 in 2007. Shoji said he hasn’t made a decision about retiring yet, not leaning one way or another. In my story that will run Monday, teams coming in for 2015 include Florida, Oregon State and UCLA. have a good night.

Still working on the links for you to watch live. Mentioned earlier that I had been told it would be on ESPN3.com. But I am not seeing that now on the schedule. Someone on the previous thread suggested that if you have Oceanic, you can buy the Sports Pass for under $10. Also, the match is on the Pac-12 network via Pac-12.com/live I don’t know if there’s a charge because the link isn’t available until game time. Another way to […]

Mentioned on last thread that the UH band is here, about 17 of them including the director Gwen and 6 cheerleaders. Gwen said that a generous donor paid for the group’s airfare and hotel. and that they borrowed some instruments from UW. Donor’s name was Albert Kano.
