Hilo Billy, love your dedication to the bows. That vhs copy of uh past football games would you have ANY basketball games back in the days of the 70’s and 80’s ?

Can’t find nothing of my playing days at UH as KGMB who televised Hawaii games does not exist today and all that footage just no where to be found only from loyal fans who taped it from their vhs or beta copying machines. IF you can come about any footage will be so GRATEFUL as I will pay you for your efforts to transfer too dvd IF possible ?

I am looking from 1975, 76, 77 or any fabulous five games. Will appreciate any Tsaiko out there that may read my request can aid in this project. Will PAY for your time and expertise !

Mahalo and good morning !

#78 Mr. A House Sir, Never ever thought that 33 years later being removed from my playing days in Hawaii and being very ACTIVE in UH both academically and athletically from the alumni side that I will see so much separation and distance between both upper and lower campus with no means of ever coming together. Both departments will USE one another when it comes down to their benefits but their need for “money money” from you to support their causes is always the fine print and will hear or see you again when that need comes around days, months or years from now. Heck, even a return phone call or e-mail reply is not certain courtesy coming from UH but rest assured when “money” is needed no hesitation what so ever explaining the amount or function where it is going in support towards upper or lower campus. I gather that is why being called an active ALUMNI from your University gets you recognition not so much what you have accomplish during or after UH but how your check book writes out “UH Foundation” with the larger amount getting to seat at the diamond table with your name engraved in the program. Money talks everything else WALKS !

#77 Boya_jr: Mahalo for your kind post. I gather for me being the only ONE mainland ex-rainbow warrior involved with UH is like Gilligan on his Island but he has no castaways. That is why when I go RECRUIT for UH I always concentrate on the academic level of Southern California Students leaving the comfort zones of sunny side Los Angeles and having a wonderful opportunity to study in PARADISE and be part of a community of dedicated local Hawaiians who love their Island deep in tradition with family values. I can speak on this truthfully because When I played for the Bows back in the mid 70’s and early 80’s I LIVED among the people and saw first hand how they communicated with one another and share ALOHA with their food, music and stories with that flare of “pigeon talk” that put a smile on my face with every phrase of “bra, da kind, mudda, fadda” coming rapidly per minute. Just amusing and warms the heart !

Glad to hear of your recruiting efforts in Northern California as I am aware of the various Chapters and many events you good folks put on in Support of UH. We also have the accepted Hawaii luncheon here for incoming students to the Manoa Campus as it is good seeing the smiles and eagerness of future angelinos becoming wahines and kanes.

Be well Boya_jr and yes a meeting of your presence will only enlighten the GREATNESS that you represent of that polynesian hospitality !

Aloha, Judge Mui…I didn’t know they played polo there, but I do remember Elvis did a SRO show at the stadium!

Hula Bowls were absolutely great then: Dick Butkus destroying people, Lance Alworth making ‘impossible’ catches, Merlin Olsen owning the trenches, Ohio State’s consensus All-America FB Bob Hayes making a game-wining 80-yard run, & of course the whole Filipino community coming out in force for one of their own, Roman Gabriel of NC State.

I’m really looking forward to this football season, it can’t begin soon enough. I only wish they could rebroadcast the games like they used to at 10:30pm for the outer island fans…I still have my VCR copies of Garrett Gabriel & the BYU games!

#83 HiloBilly: What, you didn’t like polo?

Loved watching the game – but not enough to go to Dillingham Field (or now at Sherwood Forest) to see them.

Mahalo, Ralph! We’re really proud of our team over here: young, very scrappy bunch of mainly country kids on it. I assume we’ll be facing Punahou for the title…Go Warriors, I Mua Kamehameha!

BTW, someone talked about the old Honolulu Stadium a few days ago & how Ben Jay referred to it….I spent many a wonderful moment there: football games as a spectator & player, Hula Bowls, the Islanders, old stock car racing/demolition derbies, etc. For me, the outstanding memory of the old Termite Palace was its intimacy, just like the Rose Bowl…not a bad seat in the house, everybody seemed to know each other, & you didn’t have all the drunkards imposing their attitudes on others like today. The times were really much gentler in the ’50s, ’60s, & ’70s.

Just getting older, I guess…..

#41–I remember Richard Parsons from my UH days–poised, articulate, very comfortable in his own skin and seemingly quite comfortable in Hawaii. This was in 1967, give or take a year, so before big time basketball, and before any African Americans to speak of, were a part of the UH or Rainbow athletic scene. If I remember correctly, he was from the East Coast. Looking back, I see his decision to come all the way to the islands for school as a sign of someone who was independent and not afraid of doing things differently, traits that obviously served him well later on. I was a mixed-up freshman when I met him, so his stature–that certain “it”–seemed even more impressive to me. UH has already recognized him as an outstanding alumnus, and I believe that he attended the ceremony.
