Assessment tests

The UH coaches indeed have calendars and they indeed have special days circled.

One of the most important is Oct. 19, when the Warriors are expected to make a full recruiting push on the mainland.

Teams are allowed 49 evaluations, when coaches can visit a school and watch a game in person. With a bye on Oct. 20, between the Oct. 13 homecoming game against New Mexico and Oct. 27 road game against Colorado State, the Warriors will be making their biggest in-season recruiting push on the mainland.

Evaluations take careful planning. For instance, the coaches were spotted at last night’s Mililani-Campbell game. That counts as two evaluations. The goal is to attend games in which both teams have college prospects. UH also has to make sure it scouts a team that doesn’t make the playoffs.

* * * * *

With Frank Loyd practicing again at right tackle and Jordan Loeffler expected to resume workouts on Monday, the Warriors now have some flexibility on the offensive line. Mike Milovale, who had been practicing at right tackle, worked out exclusively at left guard this past week. Ben Dew, who was the No. 1 left guard in spring practice, has been working at left tackle. And, of course, Chauncy Winchester-Makainai can play several spots.


* * * * *

Don’t expect UH to ease up on standards now that the season has started.


This week, two members of the so-called leadership counsel had to do the dreaded rolls for missing weight-lifting sessions. Another player had to do rolls for being a minute late to a meeting.

“We have zero tolerance,” head coach Norm Chow said.

    Jim Leahey asked Norm Chow, “Do you consider yourself a patient man?”

    Norm: “I tend to be demanding.”

    Soooo, yeah, I agree: He has zero tolerance.

    What are rolls?

    Roll on the ground for x number of minutes?

    Hi Mo! Good morning!


  10. Stephen Tsai September 8, 2012 6:51 am

    Gigi:

    Yep.

    And not just a few minutes.

    There was a walk-on who had to do rolls and, for a while, he just stopped. He was staring at the sky for a long time.

    Yesterday, a guy also did a long, long pause while rolling. One of the strength coaches said: “Can you wave a finger so we know you’re alive?”


  11. gigi-hawaii September 8, 2012 6:53 am

    Geez, their noses must have been squished from rolling on the ground. Grass or concrete? Grass, I hope!


  12. Stephen Tsai September 8, 2012 6:54 am

    During training camp, some ailing players had to push around a golf cart with Tommy Heffernan in it. (Tommy swears he did not pump the brakes.)

    One day, Luke Ingram was pushing Tommy’s cart around. Turns out Ingram wasn’t hurt. He was pushing the cart because he wanted extra cardio-strength training. And that’s another reason Ingram is going to be in an NFL camp next year.


  13. hillmok September 8, 2012 6:55 am

    In case you wondered if this kid would have helped us this year…?

    Offensive lineman Fehoko Fanaika won’t be making it to LSU training camp.

    Coach Les Miles said the 6-foot-6, 340-pound junior college transfer from Sacramento, Calif., did not qualify academically, making him the third newcomer whose season was lost in the classroom.


  14. Stephen Tsai September 8, 2012 6:56 am

    Gigi:

    I guess that would be a trick question.

    It was on the artificial surface yesterday. That’s worse, because those granules get stuck all over. They look like ticks.


  15. gigi-hawaii September 8, 2012 6:58 am

    ST: ew. That’s mental cruelty, not to mention physical…


  16. Stephen Tsai September 8, 2012 6:58 am

    hillmok:

    Fanaika actually learned earlier this summer many of his transcripts would not be accepted at LSU. He did have a chance of being accepted at UH. He supposedly called the UH coaches, but, alas, it was too late.


  17. laulau head September 8, 2012 6:59 am

    Top 20!


  18. laulau head September 8, 2012 7:02 am

    Nice…coach is instilling values in these players which will benefit them not only in football, but in life…


  19. Stephen Tsai September 8, 2012 7:07 am

    Same thing with a high school offensive lineman who received advice to sign elsewhere. He changed his mind after signing, but, alas, it was too late.


  20. Pomai September 8, 2012 7:08 am

    Watched the Mililani game, the kid #47 looked pretty good.


  21. Slugger September 8, 2012 7:09 am

    Good morning, gang!

    Those rolls are yucky on the artificial turf. Just walking on it gets little rubber pellets in your shoe. And the surface is much harder than the grass field. Keep up, Warriors.

    Nice to have seen a few players last night as I was going into the WVB game. Miss seeing the guys at practice. Got to meet Taylor Graham (sorry I forgot your name, guy), Blake Birks, and a RB named Jason, as well as the usual suspects.


  22. Will-I-Am September 8, 2012 7:16 am

    Why does it matter if the team makes it to the championship with regards to scouting?


  23. BigHiloFan2 September 8, 2012 7:25 am

    Good morning Tsaikos everywhere.

    ST

    you made some excellent points. I wisful Fanaika coulda come to his senses soona den later, got advice from his family and friends, no listen to his hart, and he got run over by the SEC build em up smash em down bus.

    he coulda been a contenda and a hero here. Shucks.

    same ting wit da P boy. if he never learn nuttin from the UH USC game, he gotta no one thing. Chow is demanding. Chow gets da goods from our players.

    We gonna have smash mouth football big time in Hawaii under Chow.

    he demands perfection outta everybody. including UH Administration.

    way to go, Coach!


  24. BigHiloFan2 September 8, 2012 7:28 am

  29. Da Punchbowl Kid September 8, 2012 7:30 am

    Doing rolls puts an exclamation point on all team rules. I’ve seen players doing them before and it doesn’t look fun…


  30. 99club September 8, 2012 7:30 am

    For those Warriors that have trouble being on time, just remember the saying: “If you’re not early, you’re late.” Operate that way and you’ll never have any issues. It worked for me during 28 yrs in the service. OK, there were a couple times I was late in Korea, but it was worth it! πŸ˜‰


  31. BigHiloFan2 September 8, 2012 7:31 am

    gotta go clean yard, house,.

    but first, send out a good wish to Fehoko Fanaika.

    make da effort. we neva wiff you. can still help.

    success is a journey, not a destination.

    make the effort!!!


  32. BigHiloFan2 September 8, 2012 7:32 am

    but read the rules first. get a professional opinion on what are your

  40. papajoe2 September 8, 2012 8:11 am

    Several years ago, while a recruit was signing a LOI at his school on local television, an underclassman who was a top recruit the following year, yelled out “YEAH ______”, UH JUNK”.

    He too, went away, but returned a few years later. Maybe he wasn’t as good as he thought he was because he didn’t get too much playing time here either.


  41. wafan September 8, 2012 8:22 am

  42. wafan September 8, 2012 8:22 am

    I probably missed the response. But, why is it important they not scout teams who make the playoffs?


  43. A-House September 8, 2012 8:28 am

    #13:

    failing to qualify academically for Fanaika means he is now free to contact other teams without losing a year eligibiity?

    since the season has started, if he hooks up with another team, he must “red shirt” and lose a year of eligibility?


  44. A-House September 8, 2012 8:31 am

    ST:

    #19 – that being the case, if the player does NOT attend said school what happens to his “time clock” for the future

    also, does he have UH in mind?

  55. Stephen Tsai September 8, 2012 8:52 am

    It’s too late for Fanaika.

    If he had chosen UH, there were things in place where he had a chance to be eligible to play this season.

    There were people who pushed him to go to an SEC team. For almost everyone, that’s the way to go. But he was just a better fit for UH. If you have a chance between LSU and UH, it’s not even close. Even the UH coaches knew that. 99.5 percent of the time, LSU is the obvious choice. But sometimes there’s the 0.5 percent chance.


  56. wafan September 8, 2012 8:53 am

    d1 . . .

    Warm is an understatement. Some of the days it felt more like Hawai’i. Well, without so much of the humidity anyhow. Still HOT though.

  59. Stephen Tsai September 8, 2012 8:58 am

    Re: Scouting/playoffs.

    The best games to scout are the playoffs because the presumption is playoff teams have more college prospects. The coaches have to figure out which teams won’t make the playoffs, so they can scout those teams during the regular season. Sometimes you can miscalculate, figuring you can catch a team in the playoffs, only that team doesn’t make it, and you end up not having scouted that team at all.

    By the way, evaluations are for the day. For instance, for the Campbell-Mililani game, the coaches can visit a school during the day and then watch that team play that night. But the school visit and the game have to be on the same day or else it will count as separate evaluations against the limit.


  60. Stephen Tsai September 8, 2012 9:01 am

    I feel bad for that high school lineman who got bad advice and decided a school on the mainland would be better than UH. First, UH had been on him for a long time, so there was a long relationship. Conversely, he knew knew all about what UH has to offer. Instead, he let the emotions of the coaching change get the better of him.


  61. madeinhawaii September 8, 2012 9:01 am

    Prayers for the Tulane Safety, Devon Walker, who suffered a broken neck and collapsed lung after colliding with a teammate on a play against Tulsa.

    Interesting facts from the first week of college football:

    Conference USA teams had a win loss record of 2-10. Four of those teams are moving to the Big East next year. Their record in the first week was 1-3. Only Central Florida won over Akron. The other future transfers, SMU, Memphis and Houston all lost their first games. Houston got beat bad by WAC member Texas State. SMU got trounced by Bayor and Memphis lost to the Tennesse-Martin Skyhawks!

    The WAC teams have done pretty well so far. Utah State is now 2-9 after beating Utah yesterday. As stated, Texas State beat up on Houston. and San Jose State lost a close game to Stanford 20-17.


  73. gobows September 8, 2012 9:18 am

    Ohayoooooooooooooooooogozaimasu UH sports fans, Tsaikos, all.

    Whew. Long, rough night. What a transition — waking up to Penn St. missed field goal (the punting chap had missed four FG attempts previous to that potential game-winner? Yeah, make no mistake RedZone. Penn St. gonna have the willies on them for a while) and USCalifornia v. ‘Cuse, face mask, Orange take over on downs . . . oh, Trojans INT. Gonna be another long day for another team.

    Well, UH-Warriors football simply cannot take every single Hawai`i high school player, yes? Even if they or all high school f-ball seniors wanted to come to Manoa? A Mr. Stephen Tsai will verify (and that rhymes).

    But, for them to talk stink (any non-UHawai’i player) to talk stink about the Warriors, it’s just bad. Bad. I think the Warrior program doesn’t want that kind of person, no?

    Irish back from Ireland.

    Oh. Wahine game replay. Nice day to just sit here with the remote . . . [a Grease also gets hungry; thinks of ideas . . . ]

    I have nothing against the players at Penn State, and it is really unfortunate that they are in the situation that they are in, but it would be strangely gratifying if they did not win a game all year. Such a serious series of mistakes and neglect by the administration of that institution requires an example to be set.

    Have been at all the Wahine volleyball matches and haven’t seen Rockne Freitas or Carl Clapp at any of them although they may have been there but not not visible to the public.

    Marilyn Moniz-Kaho’ohanohano did attend the awards ceremonies at the two pre-season tournaments – and John McNamara took part in the first one.

    Is Carl still employed by the Univerisity of Hawai`i? I don’t recall reading or hearing anything about his stafus after the interviews at the University of Montana at which he was one of four finalists.

    Greenwood showed up at one match but didn’t stay while Apple did attend the final match two weeks ago when UH beat Stanford.

    NOTE: DaGov attended one match two weeks ago.

    papajoe2 (# 117) and Kekoa (# 121) yes, yes, agreed/see your point.

    A Grease thinks UofHawai’i Warriors football (or for any UH sport for that matter) jerseys should have names. We’re one of those “names-yes-expected-on-jerseys” schools. With Hawai`i’s diversity alone, think it’s prudent, valuable, and appropriate for UH-M sports to sport surnames from all over the globe. Mainland universities might be gaining on this, but, trust UH-M sports to have perennial diversity — let’s show it off., you know?

    Though I’m sure Coach Chow has his reasons, he should reinstate names on the back of jerseys, lest we only know them in, um, er, certain news reports.

    Sac St. beat Colorado 30-28. Some Hawaii boys went to what they thought was a better school. Alas, Colorado now 0-2 having lost their opener to in-state rival Colorado St. And now this debacle. And perhaps USC not as good as Hawaii made them look. Hoping that USC loses. Only because some USC fans at the Coliseum were unkind to us visitors. PAC 12 not looking particularly good this season (so far) except for Oregon.

    Maybe the UH could put “Warriors” on the back, or maybe even “Mana” or “Ikaika” for strength. Or even “Ho’omau” for perseverence.

    Colorado fans booed their players after their loss to Sac State, 30-28. CU may be looking for a new coach at the end of this season. The two new additions to the Pac-12 are not doing very well, so far with Utah losing to USU last night.


  138. Chicken Grease September 8, 2012 1:37 pm

    Heh. Remember “He Hate Me” on the back of football jersey (wasn’t that WWF attempt at pro football)?

    Ugh. “Killah”. Have trouble even writing that for exemplary purposes. The heck is that supposed to mean anyway? “HOoooaaaah, bruddah can lif’, killah.”

    So glad we don’t have 12th man midnight tradition like Texas/aTm. I mean, the only thing they’re missing is a cauldron.

    How about Hawaiian names that each Hawaii player can adopt for game day purposes? No marketing value? Problem for when only-ESPN broadcasts of UH games take place (they already have Kanoa Leahy — via way of Diamond Head Classic — who could do those, ehy?).

    They don’t call him Coach (F)Ault for nothing. Instead of playing to win, he plays not to lose. Besides, Ault is infamous for poor clock management.

    For example, the fourth-and-one on the 50 where he decided to punt instead of go for it they had an 11-point lead. It was just a matter of time before USF’s speedy receivers would make that big play against Nevada’s sketchy secondary.

    I think Ault hired Rolo to have someone to blame for his poor offensive play calling.

    After Barkley’s tasteless remarks last week (yes, I refuse to overlook it), I’m glad to see the USC (the team) I saw, is indeed the USC I saw. Barkley’s good, but his pompous remark about ‘scoring a hundred in the first half’ is his biggest pimple.

    He’s a f@g and although my words mean nothing, he should not be up on the pedestal, much less invited to new york, with a pisser of an attitude like that.

    Shoot, watch them drop another spot this week.

    And I’ll be sure to say something again when USC (and Barkley) loses their dream of a national championship, cuz they can’t even finish the season undefeated.

  171. Garret September 8, 2012 4:45 pm

    I just got back from watching the SDSU-Army game. UH plays at Qualcomm Stadium in 4 weeks so this was a nice opportunity to “scout” the stadium with my family.

    My younger daughter won 2 tickets to the game on Wednesday for being the kid between 5-7 years old that behaved the best at the Boys & Girls Club that they go to after school. On Thursday morning she told me that she would win it again so that we could have the entire family go…and the Boys & Girls Club workers told me that she was an absolute angel and deserved the tickets.

    That was great for me because my girls have never actually wanted to go to a football game before, so for them to ask to go was a step for me to be able to bring them to UH games. We had a great time and now Mika wants to win more tickets. I might even get them to go to the UH game!

    Since UH plays SDSU here in 4 weeks, I paid close attention to certain positions for SDSU. It is hard to judge the defense because Army’s offense is so different than UH’s, but I was impressed with how their D took advantage of every opportunity to get a turnover.

    Lori (my wife) felt really bad for Army when it was 35-0 and SDSU’s D had just completely shut down Army’s offense, so we were happy that Army scored against SDSU’s 3rd team D late in the game. Army actually had chances to score early in the game, but a stop on 4th-and-1, a fumble, and a center-QB exchange cut short early drives while the game was still close.


  172. Garret September 8, 2012 4:47 pm

    I was *very* impressed with SDSU’s offense. They started the game showing that they had 2 very talented RBs–quick, good cuts, made people miss. Their QB was something like 7-for-10 in passing where all 3 incompletions were drops (including 1 that should have been a TD). Their QB did well on deep passes, their WRs are speedy (but have inconsistent hands), and the OL looked good at run blocking and pass blocking.


  173. d1shima September 8, 2012 4:50 pm

    Too bad, Monarchs. πŸ™


  174. Stephen Tsai September 8, 2012 4:51 pm

    Castaneda hadn’t signed any papers before joining SacState.

    UH considered bringing him in, on scholarship, as a punter until they saw what Harding could do.


  175. Garret September 8, 2012 4:55 pm

    The most impressive thing to me was their *student support*. I counted FIFTEEN sections of the stadium (some at the field level and some at the level above that) reserved for the students, and they completely overflowed that seating and they had to open up more sections of the stadium. Before that they had tons of students just standing all over the place since they didn’t have seats, and those students were LOUD.

    So, they ended up with the SDSU band around the 20-yard-line, and the students starting where the band ended and going all through the end zone to the other side of the field! The student section actually ended up taking the bottom 2 levels of the stadium (I was at the club level that is right above that, we sat right above the SDSU band) from the SDSU band all the way to the Army band (yes, Army sent at least part of their band) on the other side of the field!

    All of the students either wore red or black, the school colors, and it looked to me that all of them were wearing shirts that said SDSU on them. That type of school spirit was REALLY impressive to me, especially because they were loud and the SDSU players clearly loved having that student support.

    The SDSU students are known for being really rowdy at basketball games, and it looks like they are showing up in force for football games also. I wish that UH had that type of student support. The rest of the stadium was sparsely occupied, but the student area was packed.

    It will be REALLY loud when the UH offense is trying to score on that end zone. But at USC was much louder so the UH offense can handle it.


  176. Stephen Tsai September 8, 2012 4:58 pm

    If Fields gets everything in order, he’ll be back in January. He has a redshirt year.

    Turner is done. I think he was trying to go to a Division II school.


  177. Garret September 8, 2012 4:59 pm

    The LEAST impressive thing to me was the food. All of the cool food choices (fish tacos, nice burger options) were closed and apparently only are open for Chargers games. My kids chose pizza slices for $7.50 and I thought that my $8.00 meal deal for a hot dog, chips, and soda was a better deal…until I saw that their pizza slice was HUGE and my hot dog bun was the smallest I had ever seen and the pitiful skinny hot dog didn’t even go the length of the bun! The soda was in a small cup half filled with ice.

    The pizza slice was at least twice the food than the hot dog deal. For UH fans that are going to the game in 4 weeks, do NOT get tricked into thinking that $8 hot dog meal deal is a good one!


  178. Garret September 8, 2012 5:01 pm

    They have a really nice fun zone area in the parking lot–the kids enjoyed the prizes they got from the 3 spin-the-wheel booths and the bounce house/slide and other activities were great for them also. It helps the tailgate atmosphere by giving kids activities to get their energy out so the adults can chill.


  179. gigi-hawaii September 8, 2012 5:02 pm

  181. Garret September 8, 2012 5:04 pm

    Bowwar,

    Castaneda joined the Hornets after helping City College of San Francisco win the junior college national championship last season, but he was paying his own way until Saturday, when his first game-winner at any level earned him not only a hug from coach Marshall Sperbeck, but also an education.

    Sperbeck made the announcement during his postgame speech in the Hornets’ locker room.

  190. Garret September 8, 2012 5:20 pm

    gigi,

    SDSU doesn’t have PPV. Their game was on a cable channel that I think most of the cable systems here have. Other games are on a free local channel here.

    Do you really think that PPV is what is keeping UH students away from games? I don’t think many of the students are watching PPV.


  191. gigi-hawaii September 8, 2012 5:22 pm

    Garret, hubby and I prefer to watch the games on PPV so I thought students might feel the same way.


  192. Stephen Tsai September 8, 2012 5:23 pm

    I think if they played day games, there would be more students attending UH games.


  193. iwonderwhytheyhateme September 8, 2012 5:25 pm

    #192,

    They are. But at a bar.


  194. Garret September 8, 2012 5:26 pm

    d1shima,

    The Athletic Department in general has done a GREAT job in building relationships with the students. That actually started with Steve Fisher and the basketball team and then spread to other sports.

    It helps that the students can go to any game for free. The student athletics fee went from $30 to $190 in 2004 after the students voted against it but the SDSU President overrode the student vote, and then went from $190 to $350 *without* a student vote…the University said that the students were “consulted”.

    Instead of getting upset at the $350 Athletics fee, the students have apparently figured out that they have to pay it anyway so they are taking advantage of the free admission to all of their games.


  195. Garret September 8, 2012 5:27 pm

    Do you really think there are more than 5,000 UH students watching the games on PPV in bars? There were WAY more than 5k students at today’s SDSU game.


  196. Garret September 8, 2012 5:30 pm

    The students will apparently have to keep their tradition of showing up early for basketball games if they want to get in. A good portion of the arena is reserved for the students, but SDSU announced that they already sold ALL of the rest of their men’s basketball tickets for the 2012-2013 basketball season!

    It makes sense that they will have that high interest–winning team, popular returning players, last season in the MWC. It will be interesting to see if they keep up that level of interest in the Big West…though they will have a more attractive non-conference schedule with Big East teams and UH will be a draw for SDSU.

    But he will sing it tonight at the class reunion.

    I myself don’t know the lyrics but do know the melody!


  199. Garret September 8, 2012 5:34 pm

    I remember how so many people thought that the Big 12 would die and get picked apart by other conferences. But once Texas decided to stay (partially due to $15 mil/year from ESPN), the conference was safe. Now every team will get $20 mil/year from TV for their national TV deal and they STILL get to keep their 3rd tier deals.

    Kansas will get $20 mil + $8.5 mil local TV deal…$28.5 mil.

    Georgia and the other SEC schools will be getting $17.1 mil.

    Big 10 schools will be getting $24 mil.

    Texas will be getting $35 mil/year…even if the Longhorn Network loses a ton of money, ESPN is paying Texas $15 mil/year for their 3rd tier rights.

    It sounds to me that the SEC needs to get a lot more from CBS and ESPN to get paid what they are actually worth. Trouble for them is they signed a 15-year contract not that long ago and are now trying to get more money from people who already have a valid contract with them.

    Just out of curiosity, anyone know what the smallest school, in terms of undergrad enrollment, is that plays FBS football? Seems like UH is one of the smaller schools with an enrollment of around 20K.

    The RHS ’67 reunion is tonight? So that’s why my niece is taking my mom out for her birthday, but not my sister. She’s at the reunion.

    Happy 83rd birthday to my mom, the inventor of the infamous Tsaiko bp!


  202. gigi-hawaii September 8, 2012 5:49 pm

    JM, it would be funny if hubby sat at your sister’s table. He was wondering who he would sit with since I decided not to attend.


  203. mo808 September 8, 2012 5:50 pm

    Happy 83rd Birthday Wishes to jm2375’s mamma! Mmmm…BP!


  204. madeinhawaii September 8, 2012 5:54 pm

    Rice 6K undergraduates, Wake Forrest 4.4K, Tulsa 4.3K, Duke 6.5K and Marshall 10K are probably the smallest.


  205. Moocher September 8, 2012 5:55 pm

    saw the link to Lamar’s football helmet….it looks like “angry birds”


  206. gigi-hawaii September 8, 2012 5:57 pm

    hey, I thought Lamar’s helmet looked really cool. Colorful drawing! Better than Nebraska’s boring N.


  207. Ipu Man September 8, 2012 6:11 pm

    At first I thought BP stood for Birthday Party.

    Then I remembered how everyone drooled over her

    Bread Pudding.

    Anyway Best Birthday Wishes to her and everyone who was born today.

    One thing I’d like to discuss is that weightloss routine fast is possible by the appropriate diet and exercise. Your size not just affects appearance, but also the quality of life. Self-esteem, major depression, health risks, and physical abilities are disturbed in an increase in weight. It is possible to do everything right but still gain. Should this happen, a problem may be the offender. While a lot of food instead of enough work out are usually guilty, common medical ailments and widely used prescriptions can greatly increase size. Many thanks for your post here.


  212. Ipu Man September 8, 2012 6:18 pm

    So, Al, she must bake lots of TLC into her TCC…

    For our 45th reunion, we painted the senior patio, ate bentos, and then toured the new auditorium, stadium and science bldgs. I didn’t participate. Hope the 50th is better and more swanky. But if it is held in Vegas, forget it, I won’t go.


  216. Hillmok September 8, 2012 6:32 pm

    ST- Too bad for Fehoko. Can you name that high school player? Whatever happened to Stan Hasiak (ucla/kapolei)? He got into some academic trouble I heard wonder if he has since called Norm?

    you want to know my biggest disappointment in recruiting in 2012? we neva get Akoakoa Paleka Kennedy. you guys just watch brudda Akoakoa. the Kamehameha Keaau coach was smart and crafty, wanted Akoakoa to go where his boy went, Az Western, then go Baylor.

    those guys who talk big, talk smack about Hawaii, no can compare to him. hands down da State wrestling champ 2x. heavyweight. change weight.

    just saying.

    I recall McKinley, Farrington, and Kaimuki had teamed up for reunions on the 1967 era. I guess Roosevelt is independent?

    Al… we missed our reunion again… 😐


  221. gigi-hawaii September 8, 2012 6:45 pm

    Hubby said that Roosevelt used to be considered the “poor man’s Punahou.”


  222. BigHiloFan2 September 8, 2012 6:52 pm

    we got 4 games scheduled next year not conference, then 3 games the next 2 years.

    gotta get to schedule good games, even away games, in the big lights. you think Jim can do that? even at Notre Dame, Ohio State, LSU. get Coach’s blessing, and go!


  223. jm2375 September 8, 2012 6:52 pm

    Thanks mih. Didn’t realize those schools were that small. Actually, I was surprised by how big some of the private schools are, like USpoiledChildren.


  224. Old School Dave September 8, 2012 6:53 pm

    Roosevelt was a Standard English school back then until it was ruled discriminatory in the 1960s(?).

    The test was something like this:

    Examiner tears a sheet of paper in half and asks the child: “What did I just do?”

    If the kid said: “You ripped the paper in half” = acceptance.

    If a kid said: “You when rip/broke da paper” = failure


  225. Haleakala September 8, 2012 6:57 pm

    Poor Savannah State which lost 84-0 last week to Oklahoma State and 55-0 today at Florida State isn’t that poor after all. The school made a total of $860,000 in the two games. Today’s game at FSU was called in the third quarter due to continuing thunder storms. The officials on the field cleared the decision to stop the game with NCAA headquarters. The final score and the stats will count.


  226. Ipu Man September 8, 2012 6:58 pm

    RHS is Roosevelt? I thought it would be for Radford…


  227. gigi-hawaii September 8, 2012 7:01 pm

    Don’t think there was a Radford in 1964.


  228. gigi-hawaii September 8, 2012 7:08 pm

    wondering if hubby is having a good time at the reunion tonight.

    He said he was curious about who died since the last one.


  229. Big Hilo Fan2 September 8, 2012 7:09 pm

    Now the Arkansas coach, where did he bail come from? πŸ˜€

  231. Haleakala September 8, 2012 7:11 pm

    The two big Colorado teams lost to FCS schools today. Colorado was beaten by Sacramento State 30-28 and Colorado State lost to North Dakota State 22-7. Can’t take games with FCS opponents lightly. UH had better be ready for Lamar. BTW, Lamar beat Prairie View A&M 31-0 today. They had 208 yards rushing and 224 yards passing.


  232. Chicken Grease September 8, 2012 7:18 pm

  233. Old School Dave September 8, 2012 7:24 pm

    UW HC Steve Sarkisian replaced his defensive coordinator, linebackers, and secondary coach after the Bowl loss to Baylor. I guess it didn’t do much good after today’s loss to LSU. The Huskies looked intimidated and tentative against the Tigers.


  234. Old School Dave September 8, 2012 7:31 pm

    Saw the SDSU – Army game and was impressed by the Aztec’s running game. Also saw the Aztec Warrior mascot – a buff looking, SDSU student named Oscar Deleon. Maybe UH could consider finding a “real life” Warrior who is also a UH student.

    AL #239 ” i never heard roosevelt in that reference before as the poor man’s punahou.”

    My wife tells me that Roosevelt was the English Standard School and required not only a entrance exam but also achievement exams.

    The emphasis came from the military!

    Most of the officers in the military were white Southerners and didn’t want their kids to associate with the “kanaka” and pressured the School Superintendent to create a high class school – an English Standard School and Roosevelt was selected.

    Of note that the Generals and Admirals sent their kids to Punahou but the lower officer ranks sent the kids to Roosevelt.

    If you think I am kidding, you might read about the Massey case to see what the attitude of the military was then in the 30’s and 40’s.

    It was only in the 50’s that people of color began to break through the rank barrier (other than the usual tokens).

    Back in 2007, Al and I missed our McKinley reunion… kinda accidentally on purpose.

    Talking about it on the blog was how we discovered we were classmates.

    I recall telling Al I’d pick him up and get him to the next 5 year one (this year).

    I even helped “evaluate” the announcement flier last year.

I thought Colorado State looked good beating Colorado last week and then they lose to North Dakota State. UNLV lost to Northern Arizona! Air Force gave Michigan a good run but too many big plays by Michigan did them in. Nevada, who last won a game in Hawaii 23,287 days ago, had a close one with USF but still lost. Hopefully the conference does better next week. Don’t want to give our visitors next week any chance at all. Don’t let them score a point, especially early.

    Nice catch by Bess against the Texans. Bess holds the Dolphin record for most catches in the first 4 years of a career.

    Wow! RG3 answers Brees’ unbelievable TD strike with a nice pitch and catch to (former D3 receiver) Pierre Garcon.


  302. d1shima September 9, 2012 7:02 am

    Shoko,

    0.01%?

    Never!

    Go Niners!

    HiFlyer,

    Not to get too melodramatic but this game may be a turning point in NFL offenses.

    Contrasting styles of offense on display.


  309. d1shima September 9, 2012 7:43 am

    Shoko,

    Why should Idaho consider rejoining the Big Sky and not trying to join the Mountain West? Not saying that the MWC wants Idaho to join, but why go back down to FCS?

    With every little thing which seems to be developing inside this subject material, many of your opinions are actually fairly refreshing. In any case I did enjoy reading through it.
