I asked previously how can I get tickets for the Des Moine regional and sit with other UH fans. I called the UH ticket office as suggested and was told they did not receive an allotment of tickets to regionals. Does anyone know what else I can do or must my party and I sit alone.

I quite like KaHawkeye as a nickname for Savanah. Sounds like a stealth fighter jet.

-Aloha!

76. Some mainland folks will wonder what a Wahine is. I’m still trying to figure out what a ka-hawk-eye is. Lol.

Also picked this up from VT and may seem old news to some, but here is Lily Kahumoku’s long middle name and translation from the VT poster…

Lily Kapi`olani malamalama `o Hawai`i nei. Ku`uipo `o keali`i inulama `o Kapa`akea, he makua `o Kawika. Kealoha pumehana `o Kaila a Momi a Konia. Lapa uila nui malamalama `o kou la hanau. `O `oe u`ilani ku`u lei, ku`u milimili e. Aloha no ko makou ia ka pua Lilia ke kuini lapa uila. Kahumoku

Here’s the translation: “The heavenly rainbow that shines over Hawai`i, who is the sweetheart of the chief who drinks the rum of Kapa`akea, the father of David Kalakaua. A warm love of her mother, Gayle, her grandmother, Pearl, and her grandmother, Connie. The great lightning bolt struck on your birthday. You are a heavenly beauty, my necklace that I like to hold and caress. We all love the lily flower, the queen of the lightning bolt.”

On nicknames, I’ve enjoyed hearing what the players call their teammates in those interviews by OC Sports.

They appear to be short, because you’d have to say it quick while on the court.

Olivia is shortened to ‘Liv’.
Tayler Higgins is ‘Higgs’.
I think Maglio is shortened to ‘Mags’, though that might just be Kanoa Leahy’s doing.

It sounds like TMO, Nikki Taylor, and Greely are just referred to by thier first names, they’re distinctive on their own.

I do wonder what they call Savanah, though. It’s 3 syllables for both her first and last names.
