Stop the presses?
UH is debating whether to follow the lead of three Big Ten schools that will stop printing sports media guides.
Michigan, Ohio State and Wisconsin cited cost-cutting as the reason behind the move.
The guides are used mostly as recruiting tools.
A UH official said the athletic department would save about $80,000 if it eliminated the hard copies of the guides. If it decided to stop printing guides, it would make the information available at its Web site, where the “guides” could be downloaded by media and fans.
UH publishes media guides for all 19 of its sports. Last year, San Jose State brought only CDs of its football guide to the WAC Media Preview. But a few weeks into the season, the school printed actual guides for distribution.

Slotback Miah Ostrowski, who grayshirted in 2007 and redshirted last season, is preparing for his first real season as a Warrior. Through intense daily double workouts, he has lost weight, added muscle and improved his quickness. The former Punahou standout — he was All-State in basketball and football — took a couple of minutes to answer questions from the Warrior Beat.
Basketball or football?
“Basketball is my love, but I enjoy football. I thought I was going to play basketball here. If they told me to come out — and I had coach Mack’s approval — I’d come out right away. But I have to focus on football first.”
Kobe or Lebron?
“I’d go with Lebron. He might be able to create more for his teammates than Kobe. He can drive, see over defenders. Kobe is a closer, but he has better players around him. He has Lamar Odom, who could be an all-star on another team. Pau Gasol is an all-star. Lebron doesn’t have an all-star center in Cleveland.
Favorite Jessica?
“Jessica Alba. Because she looks more local.”
Jeremiah or Miah?
“Miah. My grandma calls me Jeremiah. Some aunties, too. But Miah is cool.”
Why Punahou?
“Remember Tim McAndrews? He had the state record in the shot put. He was my neighbor in Kahalu‘u. He recommended I try out over there. I entered in the sixth grade. A couple of my teachers in elementary didn’t think I’d make it (into Punahou). They were shocked when they heard I was applying there. They told me to prepare if I didn’t get in.”
The people you meet on the bus …
“I caught the bus all the way until 10th grade. I sat next to Jasmine Trias. She used to catch the bus with me. That was before ‘American Idol.’ I guess she lived on that side, too. She was older than me. I talked to her. I didn’t know she sang until she was on ‘American Idol.’ I said, ‘I know her.’ And people were like, ‘Uh, OK.’ They didn’t believe me. She’s cool. She let me play ‘Snake’ on her cell phone, the very first ‘Snake.’ That’s how long ago it was.”
Frenz 4 eva?
“I went to school with Michelle Wie. I signed her annual. We knew each other. We talked once in a while. It wasn’t like we were best friends.”

Today is Charlie Wade’s official start as the Warrior head volleyball coach. (Note: He uses two laptops.)
* * * * *
From Big Wave:
• Former Warrior kicker Briton Forrester, who punted at Palomar JC last season, will play for Arkansas this year. Big Wave notes: “His new ST coach will be none other than former Michigan St Coach John L. Smith.”
• Former UH receiver Eric Shaffer will be playing for Missouri State Bears this fall.
• Former UH linebacker Kevin Konrath went to Harper JC last season and will play at Portland State this year.

Today’s sports-bar debate: Name your five-favorite rivals.
Here are mine:
1. Radar guns.
2. Jason Kaneshiro. He’s Brand X’s best sports reporter in the last two decades. Brand X should slap the “franchise” tag on him.
3. Boise State beat writers.
4. McKinley High’s 1978 football team. OK, OK, it’s been 31 years, but McKinley still ruined Roosevelt’s homecoming.
5. Johnson Hall. It was 1980. Led by Alan Yonan, Darryl Huff and Larry Beil, Ka Leo O Hawai‘i qualified for the championship match of the Intramural C Division Volleyball Tournament. Then we got a call. Johnson Hall did not have enough players and would forfeit the title match. The Ka Leo Kangaroos showed up, anyway. Johnson Hall, with a full roster, was there waiting. And laughing.
Good Morning, great bio!
Woo hoo! first! and second!
Good luck Miah! Hope Jasmine and Michelle will be the ones saying “Hey, I knew him!” soon…
Yay! Top 4!
And Top 5!
I have a few famous signatures in my Punahou annual too. Can’t wait til they say, “Hey I used to know him!” too…
Top Ten! 😉
Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂
Ur a Pun, truegreen? What vintage?
Where is Miah on the depth charts? How many years of eligibility does he have?
Miah sounds too much like girly-Mia, imho.
topteni tink??
Go Miah!
Miah is an incredible talent in basketball. why does Bob Nash not ask Miah to come try out for the team. It would make the local fans at least want to see a local player with talent play. Can someone please wake up Bob Nash.
Aloha Kakahiaka!
Nice chat w/ Miah. Looking forward to seeing him on the field this season.
Good luck to former UH warriors!
K, I’m still experimenting w/ beeru for slugs…back to Bud Lite.
DPK: late 80’s early 90’s, went to school with Clint Kuboyama, Stein Metzger, etc.
The 1996 Men’s MPSF Final Four at SSC was cool. I had classmates on three of the four teams (UH: Sean Scott; UCLA: Stein Metzger, Brian Wells; UCI: Brandt Chillingsworth)
Great Morning All!
A quicker, stronger Miah is a scary thought….
As far as where he is on the depth, I gotta believe it’s a great sign that there are some players we’ve never seen on the Aloha Stadium turf yet who are ahead of a player the likes of Ostrowski. I hope he can fight his way thru once camp starts; that’ll be a really good thing for the team!
Back to work now…
was there last night doing some maintenence…yaaaaawwwnn….
HiHo…
Dey you go! That’s the trugreen spirit! Let them brag about signing your yearbook. Hehehe…
Eh, truegreen. I am a pun class of 88. My brothers were 91 & 93 so it sounds like we were all there around the same time. Wasn’t Stein ’91?
Stein Metzger went to Maryknoll?
If you haven’t yet signed Mrs. A-House’s “Warrior” book, you are not one of the sporting elite!
Warning!…Mrs. A-House swings a mean fly swatter, so proceed with extreme caution!
Morning everyone!
Just another warning for those KK people when at Krazy Karaoke. Our car was broken into while we were singing. The @%$ ransacked the glove box and took the registration and insurance cards. Bachi on them!!! Don’t park in the side lot.
expat: cool, yup ’91. i would probably know your bro
ST: i’m confused, why Maryknoll? am i missing some inside joke?
I think more than just 3 Big 10 schools are stopping the printing of media guides. It sounds like several conferences will adopt that quite soon, as the discussions there are quite advanced already.
I agree that Miah could help UH’s basketball team. I’m sure that his situation has been discussed between Coach Mac and Coach Nash…
jojo,
Sorry to hear about your misfortune but perhaps homey would volunteer his guard duty expertise next time. From his concealed position in his truck bed, an unwitting thief would be in for a beeg surprise!
And if it hasn’t been discussed, it should be discussed in the Fall and they need to come to a decision. Maybe it will be partly determined by Miah’s place in the depth chart, with a consideration for how playing both sports could affect his Academic situation.
Shawn Withy-Allen’s team lost a battle for first place this weekend.
Ordered my UNLV tickets. I wonder which section Rich was able to get your 200 tickets. Tried to get UH sideline but had to settle for UNLV. Lower bowl was unavailable.
30 ? Morning gang.
morning gang, just having my kope and sitting down to take one break. howzit patnah, d1, meiling and dpk. in the office to check on stuff so started to clean and pack things up before heading back home. man one can collect plenty things over the years.

C rM how you guy. back in top shape for battling the crime bosses out dea bwhaaaa. hope you can give an assistance to the two tsaiko sistas.
mahalo again for saturday
Good morning Tsaikos….hope all is well in Tsaikoland…
Just wanted to send a big thank you to all of you for your thoughts and prayers. Sorry I didn’t get back to everyone who called and e-mailed but I’ve been a tad busy trying to take care of some things. Mom seems to be doing okay. They moved her out of ICU yesterday and are now trying to get her to walk around a bit…small baby steps at the moment but hopefully bigger ones in the days to follow. The main concern now is infection. They have her on antibiotics and hopefully all will go well. So far so good, with no signs of infection but she probably won’t be completely out of the woods for a little while longer. Then it will be on to rehab for a few weeks and hopefully home after that. Thanks again…..you guys are awesome.
Aloha Kakahiaka!
Nice info, ST!
I like Miah as a handle. If he talks trash on the field we can call him Mynah!
Jojo- sorry to hear about the breakin. Sheesh, planny bachi action going on.
Stein is a Pun. Jasmine was a Maryknoll. 😆 just a degree of seperation!
thanks lizk and thought as much about smetzger. see yus this saturday
jj hello how you bwhaaaaa and good to hear you mom is doing better
Truegreen:
OK, I see where I screwed up. When I saw the name “Clint Kuboyama” I thought of “Cy Hirota,” for some reason. Cy went to Maryknoll.
What an ordeal this time. NO sideline tix but got sect 115 and 116 top rows. Could have had entire section on scoreboard side. These were much better. 25 dollar tix. Sorry but best I could do for 220 Tsaikos
More importantly, Rich2176, how’d you do on the blackjack table?
Rich2176- mahalo for your efforts! Tsai-kos will rock da house!
No blackjack. Waiting for LV to go eat.
Sympathies to jojo and Nalani. Curses on thieves!
Happy to hear of your mom’s progress JJ, we prayed for her just moments ago.
Koakane, enjoy your retirement. You’ve earned it. What are your big plans now? It must be a very sentimental morning for you.
jJ- prayers continue for your Mum
I was going to say that I would like to see Miah playing BBall and Football, but wondered if two sports aren’t a lot for a collegian.
Thanks for going out there Rich! Isn’t that close to where wer were last time?
ST:
PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL!

I go back work tomorrow and will call u then.
I wouldn’t have any problems if UH decided to just have their sports media guides strictly online. Save money and better for the environment.
With the proliferation of Blackberries and iPhones and WiFi coverage spreading, the info would be right there at your fingertips. Well, maybe not at Aloha Stadium. Perhaps the rust is blocking all the 3G and WiFi coverage in the area.

Re: #56 ~ These guys are real nervy. Quoted your blog headline just to post their spam.
Koakane, I think you will do well in retirement, after all those years in the system.
On June 2 I stopped working full-time, so it feels different. May just do free-lance in the future for kicks and giggles.
Jojo–so sorry about the car break-in. If I ever park in the side lot I should put the important papers in my purse.
Nalani/Anuhea… I hope the guitars are returned; not much the thieves can do with them, being “special” guitars. Bachi!!

Nope, not me. Must have been another tall & good looking guy. hahahahaha
Stop the Spamming?
C rM ~ That Swat Team was hard to beat! (Da keiki waited for them to leave so they could have a chance to earn some bounty money).
Good of you to follow-up on those reports. Too often other crimes take priority and those tend to get forgotten. When they know someone is asking, they’ll be more vigilent.
…Especially when they know that it’s THE jojo from the upper tier of HA journalistic society. On top of that, we’re talkin’ Nalani Choi. They better turn themselves in before her son Kaha’i gets ahold of them! 👿
Too bad we can’t hold our own court and determine the amount of lickin’s these petty little criminal should receive…or put ’em in a public stockade for everyone to see.
These type of crimes are always so annonymous that nobody ever gets to see who the perps are, even when caught. If we put them on display in those old fashioned wooden stocks…it would not only be publicly humiliating, but everyone would know who they are. Talk about a quick change of zip code!
jojo…if it was a tall good looking guy…must have been me…I’m the one with the facial hair…MWAHAHAHAHAHA
Digital media guide sounds good to me. And if they can put it in a kindle format, they might just start something big.
Rich:
Mahalo for your effort to get us tickets – no need apologize for “we will, we will rock da house (drum beat) we will, we will rock the house”!!!
It will be a tough game, but Wariors will over come and be 3 – 0!!!

final call – goin see you in Seattle for the Wazzu game?
1 Colt Brennan haters
2 UH dissers

Hmm… UH could publish for kindle and charge some for downloads. UH gets 35% of proceeds. UH could constantly update the publication to entice users to download periodically.
Kekoa – I think juju is the HA sister. Tho stealing from jojo is BAAAD JUJU!
A minimalist format could be used for free pdf downloads.
Good idea. Put the media guides on the website only and save the money for printing hard copies. Now, if only some smart people up there in Manoa will decide to institute an athletics fee then we’ll be in better shape. Stands to reason the students will not go for it, but this is not a democracy. To the new President, just “DO IT”. And what’s up the hang up on the Aloha Stadium deal to help UH. And what about K-5 televising UH sports in high definition? They do it for their news. If they need HD cameras, can’t they rent some from OC 16 who televises OIA football in HD. It looks pretty bad when the high schools can get TV in HD and the only major college football team in Hawaii can’t. Unbelievable to me. HD is the way to go now and in the future. Leahy and Leahy should talk about in on their show on Wednesdays. Maybe I’ll call the the Sports Animals. Anyway, I think people should start questioning things w/ a more “can do” attitude. Then again, Hawaii is always so slow to do things so I’m not too surprised. We need people to start sturring the pot to make things happen.
Liz ~ You mean I got my juju, jojo’s and jujo turned around?…and what about jeje and joje? Now I’m really confused! 😯 😕
80,000 ain’t nothing to sneeze at.
However, I still think they should have a portion made for fans willing to buy one or to the programs that give them out to booster club members as opposed to getting rid of them altogether.
Not a sports rivalry but,
Pearl City Marching Band vs Moanalua Marching Band!!!
Chawan, any thoughts? 😉
Sitting here while the therapist does his home interview with my wife before beginning her 3xs a week pt. Crap tons of personal stuff like will, power of attorney, history of family, ethnicity, own home, family support. Now talking medical conditions such as drug habits (smoking or drinking – glad he not asking me bwhaaaa), memory losses, depression or sadness, signs of pain, bowel movement, eating habits, water intake. Ok now focusing on home safety equip like fire extinguisher, fire escape plans, ability to use phone, how feels being home etc……
hey tsaikos…heard ya’ll had fun this weekend…something about piggy back rides, santa claus and a crying baby….you guys are a bunch of party animals…
My 5 rivals:
1. BSU. Not only have they won so many close games against UH (special teams!), but they constantly make the WAC look bad by begging to get into the MWC. How can UH complain about a lack of national respect in football when the school that wins the conference title most of the time keeps saying that the MWC is better than the WAC? The WAC will *never* get respect until its teams can beat BSU regularly and BSU stops publicly trying to get into the MWC.
2. Fresno State fans, especially the ones who post bogus partial-truth stories that get national attention criticizing UH and UH fans.
3. NFL scouts that just rely on measurables instead of actually doing their job to evaluate game film and talk with coaches. That may be a way to protect themselves from criticism, but they miss out on excellent players like Bess.
4. BYU. I know they haven’t played UH in forever and HF turned them down when they tried to play UH in 2006…they were #1 on my rivals like when I was growing up in Hawaii.
5. Certain defense companies that use political and/or social connections and blatant lying on proposals to get contracts that they cannot deliver on and then spend all the money and more without accomplishing anything. Don’t approach my company after spending 100x the money it should take to do something to ask for me to solve the problem in no time and for 1% of the money and then tell the government about “your” great solution…
Here is the Boyd Stadiium Seating Chart:
http://www.ticketsolutions.com/sc-samboydstadium.asp
Thanks for your effort Rich. Remind me to buy out the season tickets for the entire 108 section and reserve it for the Tsaiko’s. Then when UH does not play there, they will have nothing but empty seats in that entire section!
I think this is a nice summary of Bess’ situation in Miami.
Rich,
Thank you for getting the tickets for the UNLV game! I’m looking forward to being in the Tsaiko section again.
dpk last day is tuesday the 30th. just looking over things to discard or take with me. don’t know how I will feel on that day. kinda sad last day when kids were wishing me a good summer and see you next year I didn’t have the heart to tell them otherwise.
1) Racist
2) Pesimist
3) Scammers: those who like you for what they can get
4) Low Lifes: those who prey on the keiki, elderly, or weak
5) Those who move to Hawaii and only complain that it’s not like where they came from
Rich2176,
Big Mahalo for getting the tix. See you on Saturday. Come thirsty! 🙂
Kazz: No brainer, Moanalua is superior to everyone in everything. 😀
koakane,
Hang in there.
Garret, nice find on the article of Bess. I’d be curious to know how Grice-Mullins would do with an NFL team had he been healthy. Hope he gets another shot.

*snarls*
Cindy C- congrats on your retirement!!!
And yours too, KK – when the day finally comes! Good to hear Mrs. KK is doing better!
BigWave96744…i like your number 5…
Kazz,
we at PC didn’t have pride in our marching band. moanalua has too much.
that was then. not sure what its like now.
the public perception of marching bands is a little different than if you were actually in band. the balloons, giant flags and glitz and glamour hid a lot of the stuff we were lacking on. sure we had the size and numbers, but that didn’t mean the quality was there.
I am sure he will be thirsty after spending the morning watching me hack away on the golf course in the hot sun.
Koakane,
It’s amazing how much info they want. Bad thing is that you could have another appointment tomorrow and would have to provide it all over again because they don’t talk to each other half the time….
Hang in there cause she’s getting out of there and headed home soon…much better situation…
koakane,
saw this on tap the other night.
i think they spelled your name wrong when they made this beer:
http://www.kokaneeglacierbeer.com/
BigWave96744 – my list started like yours… but then I re-read the question and it said “rivals”… couldn’t think of any right away…
Biggest shortcoming to overcome (for me and anyone else, I guess): ignorance.
Chawan,
Not sure how the PCHS marching band members feel now, but when I went there between 96-00, I thought there was “enough” pride. It didn’t seem like a “chore” to those that were in the band.
kazz come on you gotta even ask PC marching band hands down
most important rivalries
1. College fball BYU who else
2. HS fball is dem saints
3. College bball SDSU great games
4. HS bball Kailua legion, Aiea LL and OIA, Punahou ILH
5. Education Punahou cause they set the standards
Good day everyone!
…or not!. Last time you guys did too many 19th holes before arriving….. 🙁
Howzit Everybody,
Rich, thank you for all your help in getting the Tsaiko section tickets. It will be one fun game spending time with all the Tsaiko’s together. Please let me know how I would be able to get the tickets from you if I am not able to make to Genji’s on Saturday. Thanks again and hopefully I can finally meet you and Garret at Satuday’s get together.
Howzit! Taking a break for lunch.
jojo – mebbe you should check your credit reports. Hopefully the baboozes are idiots and won’t try to open credit cards under your name…
Stretch – July 11th – you know the time and place. Be there.
ST – you (actually Wena) musta been lucky. Labor can last 24+ hours…
Perhaps… but could you get them to PLEASE choose another song for their Aloha Week Parade selection? Having to listen to that thing over and over and over and over again throughout the years as they practice…
AAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!!!!!!!!!
😛
c-c
you mean you have been ‘googlin’ koakane!!!
that is just wrong. its cyber stalking boy!
thats more than lame.
go to your room.
kazz,
maybe it changed after i left. the majority of the people in band were just there to get out of PE. that and to go on those big trips to the mainland parades. they weren’t there for the right reasons. there were a bunch of people that did care and wanted it to change but they were the minority. again, the band is smaller now so its probably different. just my opinion from what i saw back then.
we knew weren’t the best and didn’t care. it was all the public and media attention that gave the false grandeur about us.
but at least we’re not overly proud about being the “best” and bragging like some math people out there…. heh.
1. Punahou
2. Punahou
PCHS vs. MOHS Marching Band
I don’t think there is much of a rivalry there.
PCHS program really took a hit when Nakasone left for the Royal Hawaiian Band. I think it’s now on the upswing again as they have a couple of young energetic directors (forgot the names).
On the other hand, MOHS has been dominant. There are 2 “competitions” each year and in recent memory MOHS has won the overall “Sweepstakes” in each one except for the 2007 Mililani tournament which was won by Kamehameha (and it took over $20k in props to do it). That year the MOHS director Mr. Seta (a PCHS alum) was out on sabatical.
I understand that PCHS never “competed” in any of the MB tournaments until this past year. While they did well and had an enjoyable show, MOHS was in a class by themselves.
we are golfing earlier this time so it could mean one of two things – we will get to go home shower before coming to Genji’s or we will have too much time before Genji’s and come more drunk….
Aloha Week Parade
Dirty Commish- I hear ya!! you must live in one of the condos by the field! LOL!!

J-Dog,
I was closely following RGM when he was with Houston (I already read the Houston Chronicle every day) and there is no doubt in my mind that RGM would have made the Texans if he hadn’t gotten hurt. In fact, he did so well in practice that two reporters published articles saying that Houston’s head coach told them that RGM would make the team even if he didn’t produce any more in camp. Unfortunately, RGM got hurt right after that and then he was cut.
There is no doubt in my mind that RGM would have made the Bears if he hadn’t been hurt. He did well in some practices with the Bears, but he just wasn’t healthy enough to show what he could do. I do not think that it was a coincidence that the Bears had a scout watching RGM’s CFL practice last week.
Sadly, RGM’s latest hamstring injury probably will keep him out of the NFL this year. I think that the NFL will want to see him go through a full season without hamstring problems…plus, if he’s not healthy enough this year to go through a camp, they can’t give him a shot.

ST:
It’s very disappointing to hear that the Warrior players leave so much waste on the “training” table. Why? What do they not like to eat? Why keep serving the same food? Is there a nutritionist assigned to select different types of food for the players?
I have this funny illusion that there are tables set aside for the players only, somewhere on campus, where they congregate for a meal (breakfast or lunch or dinner). Are they “served” or go through the line for food?
If the “cost” of the meal is deducted from a portion of their scholarship, what is the big deal of having a “training table”? I thought it was “above and beyond” the scholarship.
I still remember being part of a very small group of parents who funded the entire cost of McKinley HS football meals after games. One family, in particular, served a plate lunch meal several times after games – 2 scoop rice, hamburger patties, mac salad with gravy all over and 2 drinks. No one could match their generosity!!! One player who transferred from St Louis said they only got a small bag of chips and a drink after games. He was sooooooo happy he transferred!!!
Cy Hirota he runs the flag football league I play in.
JM### – Thanks! I’ll do that. I’m just shocked that it even happened
jm2375: You need to back off of my Cowboys!!! 👿
jm2375- HTTR
THEM’S FIGHTIN’ WORDS!!!
😆 Nah j/k, but seems like the people I talked to before felt there was sort of “rivalry” between the two.
Back when I was still a student at PC, the marching band seemingly had that reputation as one of the better programs in the state.
Again, I was never in the band, but knew SOME people in it.
RE: Marching Band.
Regardless, HANDS DOWN the best marching band in the WAC is the Rainbow Warrior Marching Band!
BTW, did UH publish the time of kick off for the 9/4/09 game?
It’s a Friday so us “working stiffs” must plan ahead to take time off.
Who be talkin’ smack about The Boys? Are things about to get rowdy in here? It’s on like Donkey Kong!
Haha- Cowgirls are goin’ DOWN…
😳
Been reading ExtremeSkins too much lately…
nah nah nah, live and let live…
HTTR 😎
Kazz:
a mighty 2nd on that. and, UH band was a lot better than the Ilinois band in 1992 bowl game. dang, and the “fumbleruski” was called back because a player forgot to tell the Ref that they were going to run it. the next year, the NCAA voted it illegal.
what other WAC schools have marching bands?
Kazz- you are correct – UH has a Band second to none!
It was SOO COOL watching them hold their own and serve it back at the SB -vs- the huge-mongous UGA band.
Any team without enough common sense to hand the reigns over to Colt is nothing but a clown convention in pads and helmets.
HAHAHAHA j/k. Can’t wait for the season to start at we go 8-8 and fire Wade Phillips and get Shannahan in here. Or Cowher.
A-House,
I believe that the kickoff is set for 7:05pm Hawaii time. I just checked Tombo’s blog and he had that time listed.
Garret, you’re right.
Kickoff time for the Central Arkansas home opener is set for 7pm.
LizK:
speaking of the SB – howdy doo di to Merv in Georgia!!!
A-House,
It’s a 7:05pm start so shouldn’t be too bad for work. But traffic will be painful unless you work within walking distance like I do 🙂
Of course I think we need to start tailgating about 10 or so…
Dirty Commish: “Any team without enough common sense to hand the reigns over to Colt is nothing but a clown convention in pads and helmets.”
No argument there. (nice play on words “reins”)
thanks, guys – yikes, 7pm – traffic will be bad – hope not as bad as the USC game several years ago – recall Kekaula and/or Jim Leahy had to disembark and walk from their car to the stadium – believe this is the game I got so frustrated going in circles for over 2 hours, gave up and went home – now to start planning!
A House- 133 – merv just did a great cross-country road trip and chronicled it on Facebook. He sure is one of the good guys. He has a love for the aina that rivals anyone here, and a love for his faith like Coach Bulla!

Dunno if this link will work… but it should for FB friends.
Hi!
Kekoa . . .
No, sadly jm21 was too stuck up or something. Never contacted me so we could meet for dinner one night — even after several prompted her. Oh well.
I guess her dislike of Damien runs deep. Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
(J)J and Koakane . . .
Glad to hear both women are doing well. Better take care of them or else you guys are going to get “The Mommy Look”.
Rich . . .
Thank you for picking up the tickets! You have nothing for which to apologize.
Whoo-hoo!!!
Liz . . .
Did you really mean what you said about the Cowgirls going down?
Oh my.
A-House . . .
About the wasted food. That is what I asked this morning. If the concern is to cut costs why not cut the amount of food wasted?
I like the idea of downloadable guides. Easy to get and print.
Kazz
Chawan
Kekoa
Ditto what band geek parent wrote.
Mr Seta still is a great teacher.
Football had our up and downs.
Fact- 1990 was the first year MoHS went to OIA football playoffs before they seperated schools by red white and blue division.
May I add we also have one of the FINEST cheerleading squads, not just in the WAC, but in the country!
Year in and year out, they seem to “reload” on the talent and their elaborate routines remain entertaining to the crowd. Coach Mike Baker continues to do a great job with his kids.
These guys and gals STILL don’t get enough publicity for their athleticism and hard work and they only add to the atmosphere for ALL UH sporting events… well maybe they wouldn’t be so accepted at golf tourneys though.
Wafan,
I dunno about printing those media guides at home though…
Dem buggahs get CHOKE pages!!! 😆
Is is possible for there to be a favorite rival?
Kazz . . .
Print only the pages you want? Of course, you could always print at work. HA!
C rM . . .
Seta is good but the foundation was set at MIS with Tsuha!
Dinner time!!!
wafan – gomen nasai. Thought we were going to spend the day with keed’s friend, but that didn’t happen, so we went straight to SEATAC and vegged there – too much luggage.
BTW – a cruise is definitely a Tsai-ko activity – got all but the most important F (football). Think my nephew was sober for only half the trip…
Hey All –
Couple of quick things. I’m back in the office and need to be at a meeting in 4 minutes 10 minutes away.
LV is looking trim. He’s lost about 50 lbs.
This morning:
LV: I’ll be there in 10 -12 min.
Rich: Okay, I’m in front of the Box Office
LV (30 min later): I don’t see you.
Rich: I’m in front of the Box Office – at the Thomas & Mack Center
LV: Oh crap! I’m at the stadium.
Rich: How long will it take you to get here?
LV: A few mintues
Rich to ticket office guy: How far to Stadium
TOG: 15 miles
I’m sure two women could have planned this much better than us to bambozos…See what happens when men assume?
Laters gang…
OH BTW – Kekoa re#82
When I first got to the ticket office, the guy said plenty of seats in section 108. I’m thrilled. Then he said he had to verify they were actually available (Warrior sideline, about on the 40). He comes back all bummed. They are still reserved for season ticket holders and will be released on a game by game basis.
You should have seen the look on his face when I said 220 tix…priceless…
Okay, I’m officially late….laters
Rich2176 and LV:
You guys are too funny – sounds like a 3 stooges routine or Abbot and Castello – LMAO!
Wafan
U r correct. Tsuha set a solid foundation. I heard he just retired.
Rich2176:
Thanks for getting the tickets! I sat in Section 113 for the 2007 UNLV game, so I’m not too bummed about having to sit in 115/116.
Welcome Home jm2375! I was going to continue on to 3,4 and 5, but it would have been all Punahou. I just never cared for ‘them’ from the start. To this day, I still don’t. Just my very humble opinion.
Good afternoon, Tsai-kos.
(J)J: great news about your mom being moved out of ICU. And terrific news about no infection…will keep up the prayers and positive thoughts for your mom.
KK: Hope your Mrs. keeps getting stronger and better everyday. Lots of healthy thoughts your way too.
Thanks for picking up the tickets Rich…awesome job…don’t really care where I sit as long it is among 219 of my closest friends….LMAO….
Thanks Powderpuff….yep, so far so good….
May I add we also have one of the FINEST cheerleading squads, not just in the WAC, but in the country!
Year in and year out, they seem to “reload” on the talent and their elaborate routines remain entertaining to the crowd. Coach Mike Baker continues to do a great job with his kids.

hello Tsaiko’s!
does “cheerleader” include the Rainbow Dancers? if not props to them too, especially at BB games were easier to see. haaa
those of you who saw the KS-Oahu cheerleaders already know…….GOOD stuff. quick moves and synchronicity second to none.
g-nalo,
Well I originally didn’t refer to the Rainbow Dancers, but yeah, they’re um…*ahem* ok too… 😎
Saw PowderPuff at a restaurant today.
I’ll be posting some awesome pictures later.
ST ~ I hope she gave you the photos of her aircraft carrier experience 2 weeks ago. Those were awesome!
Soooo, does that mean LV and wafan aren’t twins anymore? 😆
g-nalo,
Well I originally didn’t refer to the Rainbow Dancers, but yeah, they’re um…*ahem* ok too…
hehe………ahem……..
i buy their calender, some of them sign, but i lose’em somewhere in the Sheriff……aiyah!
jm17 . . .
I found the 50#’s LV lost.
jm17 . . .
See? Conservation of matter.
Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!
G-Nalo,
I hate it when they give out team photos or you buy a calendar like that BEFORE the game and by the time you get home, you’ve either dropped it on the ground and stepped on it, or it gets food or beer spilled on it.
What a nice surprise to see ST at lunch. I’m so glad I got to congratulate him in person…been meaning to do that for a while. CONGRATS, ST!!!!!
Coach Wade’s temporary office looks better than mine! 😆
No. Michelle Wie went to school with Miah Ostrowski. Not the other way around. 😎
Yeah. This sounds better.
PowderPuff ~ Did you slip him those exciting “Minnie Mouse” photos of you in your Top Gun outfit?
G-Nalo,
I hate it when they give out team photos or you buy a calendar like that BEFORE the game and by the time you get home, you’ve either dropped it on the ground and stepped on it, or it gets food or beer spilled on it.
yep Kazz………exactly!
Rich, lv
Sorry missed you guys for lunch today….
LV 50lbs loss doesn’t translate really well in your pic- looks more like 100lbs
UH Football Announces Future Non-Conference Schedules
http://www.hawaiiathletics.com/news/2009/6/15/FB_0615090112.aspx
What??? What did we ever do to anybody?!? Not like we ever dominated anything (at least in my time many many many moons ago) to garner such player hating.
Sori guys…. didn’t see ST’s post yesterday on future non conf. games skeds. still trying to catch up.
Whoa! Dirty Commish is a fellow Monarch?
Whoo-hoo!!!
***Off topic (dead horse beating time)***
Can’t recall this being specifically discussed anywhere before, but…
A poster on WSN made mention of taking a look at the athletic fee in a different, but TRUE light:
“IsleStyle” writes:
Reminds of when Jason made mention that his friend in the ASUH made mention of the football team getting to stay in a hotel in Waikiki the night prior to a home game. Rightfully so, they can question the use of the funds, but if they are made aware to the fact that the fee is also in support of our non-revenue programs (softball, water polo, golf, sailing, tennis, etc…) and that football has been carrying the load, then perhaps it won’t seem so “lop-sided”.
I know we’ve been hell-bent on this issue for a while now, but hey… it’s a “slow sports news day”.
Thanks to Big Wave for the update on some of our x-warriors. I would like see more of this kind of info.
#180 post certainly does rank in the most malodorous sense of the word.
Wow! Dirty Commish, what year you grad?
What is a “rank beginner”? 😆
Kazz . . .
A beginner who stinks at what s/he does?
Like spamming? 😆
Miah is a very talented player in basketball. why does Bob Nash not ask Miah to come try out for the team. It would make the local fans at least want to see a local player with talent play.
Dirty Commish and all da odda Monarchs out there – ST said *rivals*. When I wuz at UHS, Damien and Pac-Five were always the cellar dwellers in football. Beating Damien was a pride thing… Just like beating Maryknoll and Selitto and Darryl Gabriel in bb.
Kazz…
good point. The Athletic/activity fee really is in support of all other sports besides the real money makers. Generally speaking, football, volleball (men and women) pay for themselves. Men’s Basketball does when they have winning seasons. Baseball, when they have exciting local players and a winning season combined. The rest, really depend on football revenues more than anything else. AND gender equity demands more financial input.
Was at Ala Moana beach park watching the surfers and waves… talking to a cameraman from KHON2 for most the early afternoon. Started walking out of the park at 3 when we ran into the KHNL8 camera crew filming some promos for Warrior Football. Did a “We’re Warriors” bit then went to Walmart where we noticed that there are still a few “H” logo Warrior EZ-up canopies on sale for $99 each.
I guess Lab school graduates become instigators in real life, now we have at least two confirmed in JM and Stretch, they just won’t admit it.
Thanks for the verification, jm2375…but if you had Tsai-kos aboard with you, you’d have it all! 😆 😯 😛
Shhhh about the sober part… don’t want some people to take that as a challenge. 😐 BTW, did the Cruise Director have the “Pub Crawl” activity? 😳
SteveM – don’t remember there being a “Pub Crawl” activity. Had carry-oh-key a couple of nights. Even had some Hawaiian songs. Nephew sang “Drop Baby”. Didn’t see any Na Leo songs though.
Ralph – Stretch is a definite instigatah. I am not.
Carefull Ralph. Another Lab School grad here (’88). We’re everywhere and we’re watching. ; )
Miah will get his opportunities. He has worked his butt of this off-season. The kid is a gamer and will rise to the occasion when his number is called. Yes, he does love Basketball but is called to play Football. However, I would love to see him play Basketball at the Stan Sheriff and represent his Family, Team, University, and the and the State Of Hawaii. Obviously, High School Basketball and College Basketball are like apples and oranges – but I truly believe in his talents. He can make the transition and possibly make an impact. He alone would definitely create a buzz and put local people in the seats. Knowing Miah, he truly understands his priorities. He’s taking care business in the classroom, kickin butt in the weight room, and conditioning with his fellow peers – in preparation for the upcoming Warrior Football season. A great kid with a solid work ethic and a good attitude. Best of luck Miah!! We’ll be praying for you and your Warrior Football Team. Warrior 4 Life.
1000 mahalos to oldie for the byu video!
nothing happening here, so thanks to Oldie, going to watch the UH vs. BYU game from 2001

The world’s first solar aircraft that can fly day and night without refueling will be unveiled later this month. They are looking to do 36-hour flights without refueling by next year and flying around the world with their solar-powered aircraft around 2012.
Study found that the Wii can help treat symptoms of Parkinson’s disease–participants showed significant improvements in rigidity, movement, fine motor skills and energy levels…and most of them had their depression level decreased to zero!
New x-ray imaging technique could provide for early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Until now the micrometer plaques were too small to find via x-rays and CT techniques could not distinguish between the plaques and other soft tissues such as cartilage or blood vessels. This x-ray technique could even get better resolution than MRIs.

9% of US consumers have sent a text message to break up with someone or cancel a date. 1% of those surveyed sent text messages to propose marriage, 1% sent a text message to tell their man that they were pregnant, and 3 people surveyed in the last month sent a text message asking their spouse for a divorce.

OK, slow night….
Most ships have 8-12 bars, all with different themes/motif (and different free pupu’s). The last shipboard “Pub Crawl” I saw was an organized activity in which the participants pay around $25 to enter (to cover the drinks). They must go to 5 of the bars scattered through out the ship in order and within a time frame–(I estimated 5 minutes per bar) and consume the bar speciality drink given before proceeding to the next.
A couple of Tsai-kos could be competitive but I shudder thinking of it. But at least no one has to drive home and Security and room service is real good about wheeling people back to their cabins (no charge) in case you are alone… 🙂
Maybe they do the Pub Crawl only in warmer climes?
this 2001 team had a lot of talent- Stutz, Rolo, Harris, Lelie, Pisa, Laboy, Owens, Jackson, Grant, and many more…Rivers on the sidelines…
Hiya!
Garret- “the campaign is focusing on Prius buyers, who tend to be local activists. “All the research that we’ve done about the consumer shows that they’re well-connected in their community,”
Bwahahaha! What a broad brushstroke! 😈
I can see that in a few years I will be making excuses for myself like this:
Oh, sorry, can’t help it, I’m a Prius owner with solar water heater, on-demand propane backup and a photovoltaic system on my roof.
Today’s excuses are: Oh, sorry, can’t help it, I’m an Aries born in the year of the Tiger…
😆
So, ST- if you can’t report on the football camps, what ARE you thinking about writing on???
I really like what you wrote about Jason Kaneshiro, btw. Professional respect is a beautiful thing!
The world is certainly shrinking.

Re-Phil Jackson
To have taken 10 champagne baths as the winning coach of the team winning the NBA championship and another one as a top reserve of the 1973 New York Nets is truly remarkable. Two other times his teams missed out on popping the cork. And to have accomplished all this in his eighteen years of coaching you’d have to tip your hat off to him. I certainly do.
There’s no way denying that Coach Jackson is cut from a different cloth, for when you begin sizing him up, and I don’t mean his 6-8 frame, it’s his holistic and motivation approaches to coaching that are behind those eyes that convey messages upon his players without him ever (an embellishment) having to say a word. His, sometimes, stare and body language are impetus that drive his players and also keep them in control. Sure he yells at times, but I think it’s for effect, and to give Jack Nicholson a laugh.
And to think that at age 63 there will probably be more champagne baths for him.
Laker’s executive Jeanie Buss, who is owner Jerry Buss’ daughter and Coach Jackson’s live-in girlfriend, would love that. But knowing Coach Jackson’s philosophy, he’s one to be living in the moment.
On another note it’s sad to think the Lakers were scheduled to have their training camp and exhibition games here. But opted out because they couldn’t get a firm commitment on the dates.
SteveM
Speaking of cruises, still would like to get your insight – had to book the Princess Cruise before huddling with you as it appeared to be filling up. Catching up on the blog while watching Clapton and Windwood on PBS. I’ll send an email to you later.

I saw that double entendre insinuation, wafan. 😈
Awesome band directors: Larry McIntosh from Kauai High. 40 years of teaching. Now retired from hs but still teaching at Kauai Community College.
John Riggle and crew from KSK- truly a master of travelling bands!
UH Cheer Squad- totally AWESOME.
And Shannon Dresser – in a class all her own. I hope someone is going to step into that space this year!
UH BAND- Second to none!

I give Coach Phil Jackson his props for the most part, but then when you have the best player in the league on your team it makes winning a whole lot easier for you. He had Michael Jordan/Scottie Pippen…then he had Shaq/Kobe, and now he got Kobe/Pau, and mind you these guys are or were in the prime of there careers at the time they won these championships. So, yes he is a great Coach no doubt but I wouldn’t go as far to say he is the best yet, especially with the caliber of players he’s had on his teams. IMO
lakesidegt — RE: #209. Sure…maybe later this summer? We’ll try to get Mr. & Mrs. Long Time UH fan, since they have sailed a similar itinerary and aboard a Princess ship. Tom Mui has been up that way too and myki & sj-macro are going this October.
http://home.roadrunner.com/~smurashi/tsai-kos/cruisers.html
I think jm2375 is amenable to a post-cruise lunch and “de-brief”. Maybe next week if we can assemble everyone? 🙂
lakesidegt,
Watching the Clapton~Winwood pgm, too. Love those guys’ music. Back to rockin’ out…
Miah Ostrowski…
I don’t think Coach Nash will go after him for the simple fact that he has the point guards he sought after. A lot of our football boys are or were successful multiple sports athletes in high school. Like my Pauoa Boys Kalilimoku, Owens, Keomaka, Kapanui…all were multiple sport athletes and all-stars for the most part. I think he should focus on football as he has the potential to be a great slot receiver for us. I remember when he was recruited, people were saying he was in the same mold as Davone Bess. Good hands, quickness, etc… Also, I’m not to high on Coach Nash developing point guards. He obviously didn’t know how to utilize Nitoto or Hiram’s talents last year. I think Miah would be more successful on the football field than on the basketball court. I know he can ball as I’ve played against him a few times at Manoa Gym, but I’d rather see him score touchdowns than buckets. IMO
lakesidegt: Your son e-mailed me the other day; still doing research for laptops? It’s too bad he couldn’t join me at Best Buy, he said he was busy. You should take him some day; no need buy it while you’re there, but at least have him take a look at what kind of features he wants. The one in ‘Iwilei has a nice selection of different types, from 10″ netbooks to your standard 14-15″ laptops, to a few 17″ desktop replacements (which,as a disappointed owner, I do not recommend). After looking around, if he still has questions, he can e-mail me again.
Speaking of Clapton~Winwood… I was at Ross on Ward today where I saw three USB turntables to play and/or transfer your old vinyl into digital format. I was tempted to get one, but then I realized that I already transferred all my vinyl to CDs.
And I paid more than the $59. they were asking for the turntables.
Re-To the UH athletic site
You guys continue to get red plums from me. The effort and presentation continues to be outstanding. What caught my eye in the headlines is the picture of the three girls with the sun, sand and surf at their sides. I looked at that picture for a long time. And that picture sells. It grooves. It beckons. It showcases Hawaii. And it may appeal to a recruit. The idea behind this picture is brilliant.
I think putting the media guides online is a great idea. It would allow for more exposure as anyone could access it, like say potential recruits. I mean nowadays everything is on the internet and almost every house hold has a computer. These days if you don’t have a computer or a cell phone, IPOD, MP3 player, etc…people look at you like you’re ancient or something. I like the hard copies as well for the simple fact of being a collecter’s item too. Regardless, as long as I can get my hands on a copy if it’s online or not is good with me.
Regarding #109
The Pearl City High School Band took a hit after Nakasone left because the person who did all the work was not promoted to head director because of politics. Those in the know were not happy with what happened. You are correct the PC band did not participate in the parade of bands, it was because the judging restricts what the marching band can do and for creative reasons PC decided not to participate. Unfortunately the PC band is no longer the pride of the community it once was.
Jason, lakesidegt:,
I dunno.. with Windows 7 about to be released for OEM installs in August, you may want to wait just a tad to make sure you get a free upgrade included in that purchase.
While you are at it.. check Dell.com …. that should give you a lot of food for thought as to what features you want.. and how much to expect to spend. With notebooks and laptops.. remember… jam pack it with lots of RAM.
blind faith?
Five Favorite Rivals…
1. BYU/Fresno State – When you bleed green you’ve been born and bred to hate Cats and Dogs
2. Military Pilots – It takes a college degree to break em and a high school diploma to fix em…go figure
3. Courage Juice Drinker – That guy or girl at the bar/club who gets drunk and thinks he or she can lick everybody and ends up getting there arse kicked at the end of the night
4. The G.O.A.T (Greatest of All Time) – That guy or girl who has a story for everything, no matter what you or your friends have done, he or she always did it better
5. Slim Shady Bum Pucker – That guy or girl who will screw you over to make themselves look good and have his or her lips attached to the buttox region of higher ups. Also, they will never have crap they need but bums crap from everyone else.
I miss warriorfanny2 lampoon
I’m hoping he posts pretty soon
He was very, very funny
And his views were right on the money
all the sock puppets come alive
at the observations he’d derive
sorry I have to run off into the night
and we’ll be working til the morning light
do give him the word to stop by the shack
for another snack
al, Ralph –
You guys are welcome. If you watch the whole game, you won’t be sleeping until after 12:30. The broadcast is almost 4 1/2 hours.
Anybody else want the 2001 BYU game, let me know.
koa mahu….get back in your closet.
oldie,
How much you charge for that game?
oldie….thank you very much.
i’ll go get some popcorn and watch it while the boss is at work.
Howzit Everybody,
I figure I stop by and say hi before gotta go sleep. Look kind of quiet today. Look like everybody was kind of busy.
Well see everybody tomorrow and by the way, oldie how much you charge and how I can get the game from you.
I going check back tomorrow.
K-den everybody
Play nice
the boss working this late….
Pauoa Boy, kama crab –
Just send me your address: hoherb at yahoo dot com.
No charge. More than happy to send to someone who’s serving our country.
Anyone else interested just email me. This is the entire game, even though ESPN2 cut away during the actual broadcast. Provided by my friend Dim Sum.
Oldie
Many thanks for sending the UH-BYU dvd. Will enjoy watching it over and over! This game will bring back such pleasant memories…kicking BYU’s butt!
Sorry. krab, not crab.
Interesting that the iPhone typing corrector wants to change krab to lran.
oldie #232- not like Heidi, eh??? Sheesh, I still remember that!!!
Hiya kama krab and errybodee!
Nighty night and Sweet Warrior Dreams!
LTUHFan,,
I agree. Whenever you need a BYU fix, you just got to watch that game again.
Hi LizK!
Thanks for all the Colt updates. Hoping he gets a legitimate shot this year.
kaimiloa – you going to the Alumni Assn dinner on the 11th?
oldie…mahalos email being sent your way
Good night all. Hasta manana.
Go Warriors!!
Hail to the Redskins!! 😀
Go Jr Bows!
New post going up in five minutes.
Pauoa Boy this game has the stutz punt and his ejection from the game in the third quarter…
I thought Kaimiloa is a Damien grad?
oh yup the instigators, now I remember his post
Finally – can get to the borrowed laptop!!
The breaking news is good for once – the guitars have been found.
The Clapton/Winwood show was incredible. Turned up the volume so loud that DrDoc shut the windows so the neighbors wouldn’t complain. Glad to see that The Old Futs Brigade have something more in common than just UH sports.
We get the diagnosis tomorrow morning on my desktop – a Dell whose warranty expired on May 31 and went black on June 12.
Unfortunately, we had to take $987 on Friday from my Mac NoteBook savings fund to repair our car – safety inspection issues – leaving us with just $63.
If the Dell cannot be repaired for under $200, then I am going to need some help in finding a used PC to buy which can carry me through the next 10 months while saving up again for the Mac. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
Enjoyed the post about texting – I’ve never sent one because it’s too much trouble doing the inputting with a non-qwerty keyboard. Furthermore, it never crossed my mind to check the cell’s in-box until about six weeks ago. I had over 100 messages – and not all of them were from AT&T.
We’re in the process of transfering some 500+ hours of video and audio in seven different formats to CDs and DVDs. Unfortunately, some of the tapes have dissolved.
Anyone up for a Miniature Golf Tournament on the Fourth of July. BTW – there will be no public fireworks in Windward O`ahu that evening.. BayFest has been moved to August and the Kailua fireworks show is probably going to be snuffed out because there’s no $$$.
