Warriors waste no time preparing for Duquesne
How does that country lyric go? It’s wasting time to waste time? (And if that’s not a country lyric, you’re free to use it.)
The Warriors wasted little time in preparing for Duquesne. The coaches watched videos of at least two Duquesne games on yesterday’s flight home from New York. By last night, they had studied videos of all of Duquesne’s games.
The prep time was so important the Warriors did away with the weekly coaches’ cook-off competition.
The Warriors are scheduled to undergo conditioning drills today, with a full practice scheduled for tomorrow.
Our excellent columnist, “Ferd” Lewis is in Pittsburgh and will provide reports on Duquesne in his stories and tweets.

Still not a robot.
you already know cuz.
Burro Sabio:
But can you do the robot?
On senior prom night, my car got hit from behind on the H-!. We still went to the prom, but my date mighta, sorta — wait, checking the statute of limitations — OK, theres a possibility she suffered whiplash. She danced bravely … but stiffly. Alas, that was one of the best (unintentional) robots ever.
OK, we now return to our regular blogging …
How appropriate. Duquesne’s logo/mascot looks like an undertaker.
[begins ironing one of my Reyn’s “H” logo shirts for Homecoming cries.]
Chicken Grease:
That is a keen observation.
But the mascot sure does look familiar. Dick Tracy? Billy Bob Thornton? Burt Reynolds?
This is going to bother me the rest of the day.
team went almost two weeks without rice.now they call off the coaches cooking competition.feed the team rolo.
S. Tsai . . . you went to prom? Well. I didn’t. 1970s prom wear seems to be the best.
Mr.,
Think you nailed it with Dick Tracy. Chester Gould estate and/or Chicago Tribune New York News Syndicate might be gunnin’ for royalties on Duq-nes-kee.
The current statewide guffaws regarding misprounouncing of “Duquesne” reminds me of Gene Hackman’s character in Unforgiven pronounciation of “Duke of Death” as “Duck of Death.”
Hat is reminiscent of the Johnny Walker walker’s hat. More royalty issues: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/74/0d/9e/740d9eeac53c1153ac619493dc5184b0.jpg
Cut blocking !!! Our oline should use
that technique.
In volleyball, there’s a move called the step-out attack where the set goes to the pin and the middle slides over and smacks it. It’s effective but it’s akin to bunting to break up a no-hitter. Same thing with linemen cut blocking.
Standing in line at Costco, sometimes i get hit in the back of the foot or leg by someone rolling their cart including the big low one.
I do it to the person in front too sometimes.
Past the Cadets and more importantly their Allies in the striped shirts! Watched the UMas game. They are gonna toss the ball all over Wheel routes, screens crossing patterns. They have according to reports 13 FBS transfers. Anybody who thinks these guys can’t play doesn’t know FB. That being said, if the focus energy and certain things addressed the Warriors will be in the right place. Really want an offensive break out and defensive domination. One thing to keep in mind SJSU lost to Davis and Wofford gave Wyoming all it could handle winning 17-14. Full throttle Warriors you got something to prove from here on in! GoWarriors!!!!
Yep. Warriors gotta bring it, every down, every series no matter who they play. This team can do that!
It doesn’t matter what odds makers or fan boards say. The game is played on the field, by the Warriors, It’s what each of them has inside which will decide the final score. I take comfort in knowing they have what it takes.
With easy opponents, let’s get some points up and give the back ups some reps. Against not so easy opponents, let’s give them all we have and keep our heads up and keep fighting. That’s all this fan can ask for. I believe.
GO WARRIORS!!!
LIVE ALOHA/PLAY WARRIORS!!!

Oh. You the one that do that kind.
Once somebody at Costco did that to me. I didn’t even look back and I just took the pain. Heard a “sorry” in my direction. i didn’t look back. Sounded like a guy my age. Local Asian. Let him live with whatever notions they would have of me wigging out while he waita in those long slow lines there.
Anyway. By afternoon I was thinking, “man. This bruise really smarts!” I look down at the back of my foot, the ankle area has about a two or three inch gash, drooling red smile. I walk to go get the Neosporin, Isopropyl alch’, I see the doorway, just drops of blood on the wood flooring.
So be careful with your carts. Thank you.

I don’t think anyone should pencil this Saturday as a win yet. UH has had some close calls with FCS teams. Let’s also not forget that Loss to Portland State back in 2000.
16. You tough, man.
The other day at Costco, i was standing in line with only one item and one nice young lady with 2 young children in her cart pointed to the sign that said the cashier was closed, after her. Then she said i could go ahead of her; at first i said that’s okay, but then she said go ahead, so i put my cart ahead of hers. But the nasty cashier said “Are you with her ? “. I said no. He said “only because i’m closing … “, so i had to bail out and go to another line.
Duquesne has a number of FBS transfers from schools like Penn State, Maryland, Illinois, FAU, Idaho, Boise State, NC State, Pitt, among others. There is even a local boy (D-lineman) from Baldwin HS (Maui) via a Cali JUCO.
Duquesne highlights, their offense could give UH trouble.

How it Tsaikos!
Glad Cole McDonald has more class than the ASU QB.
https://twitter.com/atolent2/status/1041241642005454848?s=19
Thought Cole was a dual threat QB?
Oh. Islandman. I needed to be with you just at that moment. Gonna add this to me “once time-travel becomes a reality, I’m gonna” list, “go back to this koment at the store with islandman so I can speak to management on his behalf.”
Not to berate, of course, but for the proverbial “next time,” always, ALWAYS, ALWAYS speak to management if Cust. service gets just a lit-tle too customer service with you.
Unless you’re being belligerent (and even THEN!)—and you clearly were not—always, ALWAYS, ALWAYS find and speak to management. Cust. Serv. (Or ANY profession) are not being paid to be sassy.
Listen. If you ever met me, you’d lose money if you needed go guess whether I had an inner-teeta just by talking and looking at me on first glance. But lemme tell you when I am wronged/spoken sassy to, that mighty, extension-wearing, foot screaming out of the too tight strap sandal comes OUT!!!!!! You know, DO NOT DESERVE to leave an establishment feeling bad about yourself, thinking YOU did something wrong (well, unless one shoplifts, of course) based on the actions of that establishment’s staff/personnel.
I’ve made my voice heard. And I don’t wanna say what I was offered as a means of apology or compensation by management (and, heck, I have sometimes REFUSED THOSE!).
You want to do this to make sure your fellow Hawaii person maintains aloha. We cannot turn into the mainland.
Thank you.
I think if Coach Rolovich went no back and isolated McDonald with a LB (when the D puts only 4 in the box) maybe Cole can show his dual ability. He does throw a nice deep ball, not bad mid range, and can fit right windows (so far) short. And he has good feet, real good. We haven’t seen that yet. Hopefully it’s coming.
Considering he trusts the pass protection. Was supposed to be tight windows, not right windows. Sorry.
Remember when we said the worst days are the ones without football. We’re in the middle of the football season. Enjoy the games. Enjoy the ride. Because as much as I enjoy taking pictures of people running sprints in March, this is the most wonderful time of the year.
Ok. Hawaii will win. 45-21 prediction

Best song to do the robot by is Kraftwerk’s “The Robots”.
When is Duquesne arriving to Honolulu?
After looking at the last play, my conclusion was either Cole McDonald was too slow to run it into the endzone or just respected their Army’s front line. A mental era. Could it have been respect on his part for the game.
https://youtu.be/iNHdmhQtDgQ
Last play of Army’s game.
If u can take out all the names not associated to the blog topic. And not put in any high school or other names that should not be there. If u witness something, type in the whole story properly. When? Where? Or what? That person want to commit a wrong doing. This is from your site moderator. Sports talk.
Thank you.
Just watched the Nick Rolovich show. If you haven’t seen it please do. Kainoa Leakey put everything perfectly in perspective at the close. Now all the Warriors have to do is get back on track and takes care of the Dukes in a solid fashion. My sons friends still talk about the “super humans” they faced when Eastern Illinois with Tony Romo got demolished by the Warriors. My son was a freshman on that team and did not travel. Nothing personal but I want the Dukes to get throttled!!!! GoWarriors!!!
So glad we face a more coventional offense. Don’t want our playbook opened till SJSU. Here’s to the Dukes running into a lot of hazard against the Warriors. I want these guys demolished by third quarter. Coach Rolovich and staff doing an exemplary job with the second youngest team in all of college football! GoWarriors!
Is the show any good? Rolovich show. I hanen’t had the chance to watch it yet. What channel is it on?
“haven’t”
Kanoa Leahey does the post game show. What happened to Rob Demello, Leonard Peters, or Reagan Mauwaui? Spectrum sports.
John Ursua is a great player. He just needs to stay healthy. And not go on the “disable list” again. Junior year.
What happened to Savich, Holly Barker, and Koh I Nor?
( weird shit )
It will take McDonald to be 90% to 100% accurate for Hawaii to score 45 points again. And defense. They can do it. Aloha stadium.
No one feels uncomfortable for talking sports. Like who was John Ursua?
Then put in a name like (Julius Nordmier) . Then match him up to Ross Kagawa. KIF.
Stop doing this on this blog. (Failure)

New York city is a damn crazy place: pedestrians cross each street whether cars are coming or not with the “no walk” red sign blinking; drivers cut in and out with no regard who is in the lane next to them — double park any where any time with their hazard blinkers on – guess this is legal?
yet, not a single cop around to give tickets!!!
picture this: 5 lane street with supposedly parking legal in each curb lane — then, the double parked cars with hazards lights blinking reducing this street to a single lane — how U figga???
best thing, for me, was eating Junior’s cheese cake twice — told my family this is my last time in NY city!
the 10 hour flight each way is a KILLA!!!!! plus, “hard seats” on Hawaiian Air
It depends. 3-4-4 defense means McDonald’s is going to pass. All game. I hope they keep it that way. Offensive slug fest.
Facebook is smoking hot. Put in your “John Ursua” pictures on it. Totally happening.
Not a lot. But there to with facebok and football pictures.
But this is Warriors world. So just blog.
Because I can expose anyone’s flaw in facebook. Even the politician Mufi, Ross Kagawa, or even John Ursua’s flaw on facebook. Easy. (My name)

Glad we don’t have to play another rugby team this year, they kept the ball way too long. All we need is one more win to beat the win total from last year, hope we can do it.
Idunnttin are u savich?
A pile of sh** by any other name would smell as stink eye see the troll unabridged.
Great Morning All!
Das it.
As we close book on our games against the Service Academies I would like to make one last comment. Not anything about the play on the field but about their Federal funding.
I understand, they are producing our (America’s) future Military leaders so it’s justified (more power to them).And I know it’s to level the playing field in this more competitive, complex era of the “business” of College Football. But they have risen to such a level of visibility and significance with the funding (Niumatalolo has a nice, nice salary) that the field has “leveled” for everyone, except Hawaii. We need some Federal funding (from the same budget) to level our geographical disadvantage here. We are the only program left with a disadvantage in the whole country, and it’s just geographical.
We need to lobby for some kind of “cost of living adjustment” for air travel. We (Hawaii) were annexed in part (primarily?) for Military purposes and we do (Honolulu Community College) have a program that produces (a rather large amount) DOD employees. We don’t need to ask for much, just the amount to offset the geographical disadvantage. The cost of airfare from Hawaii to California (the nearest point to us on the Continent) maybe. Justifiable? I believe so. Just fit us into that secret budget. Please.
Mr. A-House, NYC sounds like Kapahulu Ave on a weekday morning.
44. Although Army had the ball
a long time, UH had the same number of drives, 9. They scored on 3 and Army on 4 drives.
Cole reapects the game. Great player. Maybe he can practice running. To win..
#50: By playing keep away (converting on 3rd and 4th downs), Army ran off 76 plays while UH (poor execution on 3rd and 4th downs) had just 45 total plays. In UH’s three previous games it ran off 73 plays vs. CSU, 70 vs. Navy, and 62 vs. Rice. Therein tells the story.
Though I wish Hawai`i was able to pull off the upset win, they are still doing WAY better at 3-1 than anyone thought they would be doing. Many “experts” had Hawai`i winning 3 games total for the entire season, now Hawai`i has won 3 games out of 4 and folks are talking Hawai`i Bowl as a possibility. Anyway, I expect that Hawai`i will probably look much better this weekend not having to play a game at 6:00 AM Hawai`i time.
Prediction: Hawai`i 48, Duquesne 17
I wonder if we played Army’s game and ran the ball more with Furuta to bruise up the D-lineman and keep the ball away from them would’ve worked.

Great last play. Notice he didn’t run. Step up and beat Steve Young, former BYU quarterback 1983. Styles
Thanks.
Hmm. Thought you dunno nuttin 🙄.
One chili bowl with rice, please. 🙄
“List.” 🙄
