Back to the future
The Warriors have drawn praise for receiving early verbal commitments from Billy Ray Stutzmann, Corey Nielsen and Kimo Makaula.
But nearly forgotten is that the first member of the 2009 class actually signed a letter of intent in February 2006.
Linebacker Waylon Lolotai is set to join the Warriors next season. He signed with UH in 2006, then went on a church mission. His grandfather Al Lolotai is acknowledged as the NFL’s first player of Samoan ancestry. His father Liloi is an ‘Iolani graduate who played at Colorado.
Lolotai is a member of a class that produced only a handful of starters — Gerard Lewis, Myron Newberry, Jake Patek, David Veikunke and C.J. Hawthorne — all of whom were transfers. Malcolm Lane and Greg Salas are expected to be the starting wideouts this season. Several others are expected to be key contributors.
After signing, Po‘okela Ahmad, Kenny Estes, Kiran Kepo‘o, Clayton Laurel and Alasi Toilolo grayshirted.
Afa Bridenstine, Lucious Henderson and Peyton Ma‘o never enrolled at UH.
Chris Camacho and Geoff Hayth quit in training camp, with Hayth leaving on the second day.
Then there was some tragedy. Kepo‘o was hospitalized after it was believed he was a victim of a hit-and-run.
And Mitch Farney, a popular player, died while playing basketball in January.
Here’s the originally announced class of 2006 (Lewis, who had a previous letter of intent annulled was not listed):

My pal Jeannie Lee needs our help. Her office received several copies of this picture. She needs help with IDs so she can forward the copies. Any ideas?
good morn from LV
Wonder if Patek is still doing something football related?
Aloha Kakahiaka, ST!
ST,Question
If a player signs, then goes on a two year mission, is the school obligated to honor the scholarship offer?

LizKauai,
When to LV?
good morning. did jared lene pack it in also?
Go Warriors!
Umm…I no realleh like a QB based on looks, I no swing that way like some homey guy in hea…but Brady is better than Favre skill wise…
Get this one QB who plays in D.C. in one place they call HogTown that is pretty mean, he’s probably my favorite QB in the NFL…
Right after Florida game. Praying for a standby seat (unless I find a cheap ticket soon) at 2:30 AM on Sept 2
Was wondering what happened to Waylon Lolotai, is he and Mana related somehow?
Lebenth!
LizKauai,
Is it 0230est or 0230hst or maybe even 0230 pst?
If it’s 0230est that would be 2330pst and only 2030hst, unless you ment 0230hst which would make it 0530pst and 0830est and just for kicks, 0730cst, but then if you meant 0230pst, that would be lunch time in London and Thursday in Pusan,Korea.
Pauoa Boy,
Missed my chance earlier, safe deployment and a quick turnaround back home.
gigi, i have to agree on your previous post, Brady is way cuter that Favre.
I spent yesterday running thru airports trying to make connections. crazy delays everywhere, not sure why, but ST looks like you make it back.
One thing I need to mention. I scanned the posts from yesterday re: SSmith. All I can say is dont speculate as to why no release went to UH and lets just put it this way, many are placing blame where blame doesnt belong.
Some asked if SSmith would have to sit out two years if he transferred to another Pac10 school – as a general rule pertaining to any FB transfer student within the same D1 conference, answer is no if he has a release, just one year.
Normally schools wont give releases within the same conference or a program that is on their schedule in the next couple years, thus the 2 year sit out rule (or 1 year at JC then back and eligible in any conference). If an athlete transfered to a difference conference w/out a release, yes he would have to walk on/sit out one year and w/out scholie but could get it next year.
Looks like a pretty decent recruiting class. This year will tell how some pan out, giving more playing time. Sad about Mitch Farney, you just never know when it’s your time…
This may have been posted previously, but I just saw this.

ラスベガス,

Pauoa Boy,
So you know about the Hogs? funny. Yeah, I like that QB too!

Yo yo…aloha kakahiaka gang…how’s everyone doing this beautiful morning???
Boy, doesn’t sound like the class of 06 was a very fruitful endeavor…although we did get some good ones…just my opinion.
pauoa boy,
it’s not the media guide. it’s the season outlook. i downloaded the guide too though and man…uh, we went green, but i think i chopped a few trees with that printout! 🙂
Howzit Aunty Doris, I thought you stay your sons thingamajing this weekend. Yup that QB I heard was one “rockstar” too! Anyway, your son pick up any chicks yet or what? Dang “LT”s, you know they always get the hotties, and us enlisted get the leftovers haha… He lucky I no have his paycheck 🙂

Will be flying out in the beginning of August…
Airfares are unreal..rt to LA $700+..i found cheaper fare on a very roundabout 16 hours trip to LA for $500..HNL/OGG/PHX/LA..(but escorting my 90 years mom..so sis said no take the direct flight)

ラスベガス: haha, las vegas standard time! I get in to LAS at 11:30pm on 9/1 and pray to get out at 2:30am on 9/2 !
Pauoa Boy…yes Im in Texas, and its pouring outside (the hurricane left overs)…you know the military..hurry up and wait. So my husband and I are sitting inside waiting for tonight since the weather is so miserable outside!..off to the gym, may as well make use of the facilities here. Quite nice acutally.
ラスベガス:
Yep, a player becomes a free agent once he goes on a mission.
But there are some ties — deep ties — between the Lolotai family and a UH, and Waylon Lolotai is a solid commit.
And, yes, he’s related to Mana Lolotai.
There also is a very good player on a mission expected to head to UH eventually.
thank you ST.

Redskins scrimmage will be covered online starting 2pm EST.
No videos allowed (we’ll see).
Good coverage of the 25K (?) crowd on Matt Teri’s blog:

Kudos to Doris’ son and Liz’s nephew! I could never pilot a jet. Can’t even drive a car right. Jason knows all about my lousy driving!
28K at Redskins Fan Appreciation Day. Dunno if Colt will get any time on the field but here’s hoping!
… In other news, a wide-open Fred Davis dropped a pass from Colt Brennan. …A 43-yard touchdown pass from Todd Collins to Billy McMullen was wiped out by a false-start

I’ve heard people talk about the high academic standards at The University of California at Berkley. From talking to people I get the impression this is only true for the general student body and like USC when it comes to athletics they take anybody. True?
Aloha, Gang,
Looks like the blog hickups have stopped.
Tsai-Meister,
Are you at liberty to tell who that great player on a mission is?
I’m sure you’re glad to be back.
LizK,
Is there any live streaming of the scrimmage on the Redskins site?
curveball… stats from scrimmage comewhere? the espn radio is chatter and commercials.

Wassup everyone!!
Hope you are all having a great weekend.
Yeah Stephen, who is this player you are talking about?

GARRETt: Mahalo for the KHNL post on yesterday’s bid story. Intended to do the same earlier this morning but sort of slept in.
Momotaro, A-House & Others:
Below is the information from the DCCA website http://hawaii.gov/dcca/areas/rico/licensedcontractor about different types of contractors and about Sports Turf Hawai`i & Applied Surfacing Technology.
Still have more research to do as to the differences between the numbers which follow the letters – e.g., C5 or C68FF or C27 which is what Hamocon used on his Murakami bid last year; however, that will have to wait until Monday.
As for legal action, it could indeed happen. Nevertheless, David Hafner, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Campus Services/Office of Facilities and Grounds, is absolutely committed – as are his bosses – to moving this project through as quickly as possible. He says that it will take approximately one week for all the paperwork to be finalized.
Barring unforseen Acts of God or some sort of successful injunctive action on the part of Sadowski, the field could be finished in time for the last three games of the season.
Again, here is information about how to get involved: The Contractors License Board next meets on Friday, August 22; however, the agenda, date, time,and location will not be posted until the previous week. NOTE: The middle two items rarely change so interested parties could look at the Minutes of previous meeting.
If anyone is interested in attending this meeting and wants to speak up, then please contact the DCCA Contractors office at 586-2700 for information about how to take part in the Public Input part of the agenda.
TYPES OF LICENSES:
General Engineering Contractor (type “A” contractor) is a contractor with specialized engineering knowledge and skill. An engineering contractor will handle projects such as land-leveling, excavating, ranching, sewers and paving.
General Building Contractor (type “B” contractor) is a contractor whose principal contracting business is building structures. General contractors handle projects such as houses and room additions.
Specialty Contractor (type “C” contractor) performs construction work requiring special skills such as electrical work, drywall, landscaping, flooring or roofing.

Waylon’s dad is Tiloi not Liloi…..
Jason Campbell was 15 of 22 for 122 yards and a touchdown (a 10-yard pass to tight end Todd Yoder during red zone work). He also led the only legit scoring drive and capped it with a 2-yard scamper. Todd Collins was 8-for-13 for 52 yards and threw the only interception (cornerback Cedrick Holt). Colt Brennan was 4-for-7 for 22 yards and Derek Divine was 2 of 6 for 14 yards.

university of california at berkeley like the other upper echelon of the state of california’s pubic school system has very high standards especially out of state students. throw in ucla, uc-irvine, et al.
the university of southern california in contrast is a private school. therefore, standards are different. still, typically the standards at usc are very high. whether they “slide” students in because they are nfl material cannot be discerned.
go figgah.
gigi…..what? chicken? no like bet?
duffer….ask whitey if his line is getting wet or just his throat.
wdoc…..email was interesting???
Hi LizKauai! My girls are 2 yrs old & 2 months old. They are such a blast but man do they take up all of my time. My 2 yr old has been throwing some mean tantrums since her sister was born. Jealousy or the terrible-two’s? I say a combination of both.
BTW thanks for all the Colt updates. My 2 yrs old saw him on the news last night & she started screaming “Touchdown!!”. Too funny!
thanx, curveball!
LizKauai [iMac] BELIEVER
I think I got this one right
http://www.washingtontimes.com/weblogs/redskins/
Vanessa, have you checked out Esme’s Hawaii Moms blog yet? She has a great mom community there.
http://hawaiimoms.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=MOMS
My first two kids were 18 mos apart – girl and boy. (skip 19 years) My last two are boys 23 mos apart. I can relate!
All the phases will pass… “enjoy” them
The “interesting” reference above was that it took your e-mail about 17 hours to go from your computer to mine. Assuming that you live somewhere in Honolulu, you could have walked it over to me faster.than that. Twice in the past seven years, I’ve walked from Kailua to Ala Moana Park in just over eight hours to win a bet.
Vanessa:
Enjoy every moment with your kids. They’ll grow up quickly.
With me, one day we’re dancing along to The Tootsie Roll, the next I’m asking their boyfriends if they’ve seen my shotgun around.
curveball- awrite!
So- I don’t see Chris Cooley’s name. He’s a hoot and I look forward the day we see Brennan to Cooley, TD!
ST- hiya! Yeah but cute, da boyfrien’ !
LizKauai [iMac] BELIEVER:
I will be happy when we see Brennan to ANYBODY for TD I think soon..
He played the 3rd most so thats a good sign
curveball, yeah. I been doin “Aunty Liz” on some Redskins blogs to try to get people to think of him as the NEXT great QB… give him time to learn the system (ALL of the QB’s have to learn the system as Zorn is introducing the WCO) and earn the respect of his teammates.
Colt should be able to concentrate better w/o the distraction of being mobbed by fans wherever he goes.
It must have really worn him down last year… the gracious superstar that he is… 😆
ST- da Warriors- er- Bows get nice hair! But Diamond Head stay all nekked!
Good pix fo the tsenior Tsai-kos to look at!
I will watch for “Aunty Liz” as I also follow several DC blogs I guess I will have to come up with a clever name for those blogs…
curveball- it’s still LizKauai on the blogs… the advice is “aunty” kine 🙂
Pauoa Boy bighilofan2 addy: G. Lee Loy at 38 Kalakaua Street, Hilo, HI 96720…
st….#92 too cute that one. that shotgun has been around since it was invented. i used to say, meet mr. lefty and mr. righty.
wdoc….oh, okay. i thought you meant something else. so are you down for lunch?
boring day! what I need is a good book to read. Was going to buy Randy Pausch’s “The Last Lecture,” but too lazy to go to Borders or order on Amazon.
Polynesian Paralysis.
Anyone else have this disease?
thanks ralph,
you just read my mind. i was just gonna email you for that very same info.
hey, is the office closed already???
or are you in between dilations?
Per MSN, looks like the Green Bay coach is making Rodgers the starting QB with or without Favre.
There goes my free lunch.
gigi…..here’s the greatest story ever told. its free on top of that.
click on my name and enjoy.
gigi,
I too suffer from the heartbreak of Polynesian Paralysis.
To sad.
Good afternoon Tsaikos…
This may have been posted already, but I just noticed that the UH – Florida game is going to be on ESPN Gameplan.
Thanks, Al.
LV, heartbreak? who said anything about the heart? It’s my legs that don’t want to work.
99 club, what about PPV?
PIAA Doris:
Thank you for your excellent analysis at the #14 posting. It is interesting the transfer rules that are passed throughout the history of the NCAA. Of course, the institution itself has their own set of “rules” too.
I can understand why some outstanding athletes get caught up in the rules governing transfers. Basically, it just take years away. And you only get four to participate.
Like I said a while ago, I wish back in the day, I had a Doris Sullivan to counsel and assist me in using college athletics to pay for a college degree.
PB, actually the two Lolotai’s come from a very athletic family. Waylon’s dad Tiloi and Mana’s dad Taunu’uu are brothers. Tiloi, as ST mentioned, was an all-state defesive tackle for Iolani and Colorado from 1971 to 1978. He and Brian Cabral were seniors together at Colorado that ended with an Orange bowl loss to the hands of Ohio State on Jan. 1st of 1978. Taunu’u was an all-state QB and WR at Pac-5 in 1975 and 1976. Waylon and Mana’s grandmother, Drew and Dane Uperesa’s grandmother were sisters. Drew and Dane Uperesa’s dad Kevin played for Cal and the L.A. Rams. Their Uncle Keith played for BYU, the Oakland Raiders and the Denver Broncos. Now the grandmothers had another sister who had a son Jerry Scanlan who was an offensive guard with Washington Redskins, he was a rookie guard opposite Russ Grimm before he hurt his neck and had to give up football.
So hopefully Waylon, Mana, and Drew, are apples that don’t fall too far from the tree.
Hi Pride. ! Did you look at the vintage pic at the top?
Recognize anyone?
gigi,
I too suffer from polynesian paralysis, Punchbowl variety. I barely had the strength to slip into a muumuu today…
Al,
Thanks for the story.
LizK.
Is that Homey in the second row, second from the right?
Pride, you mean homey didn’t have guns back then?
BTW, judging from the hair, it looks like this pic was taken in the 1970s.
DPK, it’s nice to have company! I was hoping you guys would know of a cure for Polynesian Paralysis.
The vacuum cleaner awaits me.
BTW, Liz, the Roomba flattens the carpet. If you want the carpet to fluff up, you gotta use the upright vacuum.
Gigi-
Florida must be one of the 5 PPV games offered in the UH season ticket holders PPV package since there are 6 road games, and the Boise St. game has already been announced as one of the ESPN games. Click on my name for UH’s 5-game PPV offer. Wow! That means some lucky Hawaii fans then have the chance to pay twice for the Florida game (ESPN Gameplan and PPV). Such a deal.
gigi-hawaii ©:
polynesian paralysis
I am getting ready for frozen beer paralysis
Esme and out. A hui hou.
Pride. – did homey play soccer? Looks more like Ronnie!
99club, you gotta pay for ESPN Gameplan??? How much?
We already ordered PPV for the entire season, though.
Curveball, what brand of beer do you drink?
gigi-
Right now you can get it for $109 through 8/29. After that it increases to $129 for the season. Click on my name for link to the offer. Since PPV isn’t an option for me, I’ve already ordered Gameplan…and Dishnetwork Sports Pack…and Big10 network.
I make my own yum
Good Afternoon Everyone…. time for me to take my standard weekend afternoon nap.
WassupDoc:
Thanks for the Cooke Field bid update.
OK, gang, let’s get the resurfacing going ASAP!!!
Many athletes are waiting to use it.
99club, that’s a lot of sports! But, all that is probably a better buy than the $380 plus tax and fees we have to pay for UH FB, BB, and VB this year.
gigi-
That’s not a bad deal. I’d gladly pay it if offered. Some day there’ll be “on demand” for whatever you want to watch. OK, here’s where Rich gently reminds me why that’ll never happen due to contract A vs contract B, etc. 🙂
Kekoa, I’m jus’ a haumana doin’ hula. But if you sing “Blue Hawai’i”, I can dance it. :))
I’d rather see Leonard Peters hair down & flowing. He has great hair. But, nice ad for ESPN.
I have to go collapse for a while; learned to dance ‘Alekoki today w/ pu’ili. We are not ‘opio anymore, so whew… need to rest. Hope to get to the AZ Cardinals practice tomorrow.

What’s the scoop on the Daniel Smith/UH lawsuit?
On the Portland State website, Smith is listed as #36 on the roster.
LINK: Click my name above for Portland State roster.
Is the lawsuit against UH and Jeff Reinebold still ongoing or, was the lawsuit dropped since Smith has found a place to play?
Thanks
gg and pride.
glad you liked the story.
its a work day in palolo, so no poly paralysis.
pride. excellent archiving of the lolotai family. didn’t al lolotai turn pro wrestler after his nfl days?
Al:
I sent you an e-mail at 11:11 am. Did you get it yet?
A-House – need to talk to you. Are you in town during the day or can we meet in Kailua somewhere?
wdoc…no. it must be your email server that is bogged down or just slow. yours is the only one that i have a problem with. what are you using as your email server?
Okay. Back from the sight-seeing at the South Center Mall. Dang! The new addition is a lot larger than 40,000 sq. ft.!!! Think of attaching Pearlridge Mall with parking structures to what used to be the Northwe(s)t’s largest shopping mall. Dang! On top of that they threw in multiplex AMC theatre on the new third floor. Heck, the second floor is brand new, too. Up until the opening today the mall was a single story complex.
It is going to be a shopper’s fantasy! And, parking will be horrific during the holidays. Geez, those parking structures will not be anywhere large enough. I think I will stay away from that place for a long bit.
Hiya- W-Doc, thanks for the update on the Cook/Ching Field bids.
UH ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT– PLEASE DO YOUR BEST TO STREAMLINE THE PROCESS TO GET THE LOWEST BID (who has proven they can do a good job) ACCEPTED AND MOVE FORWARD AT LIGHTSPEED TO GET THE FIELD TURFED ASAP!!! MAHALO!!!
gigi- my daf-ter uploaded the wedding pix and I blogged a few.
OK.
Gotta go to da stoa…
Latahs!
The ad with Leonard looks good!
What is that hill in the background of the second photo? I have heard legends of a hill in ooooooooold Hawai’i. Is that it?!?!?!
Cool ’70’s photo!
Whoo-hoo! Good news about the new turf!!! Now, the trick will be actually getting it installed post haste. This is a great time and opportunity to show everyone we have turned the corner after the fiascos of the past 5-year nightmare.
Time to get started with my packing. I cannot wait!!! At this time tomorrow I will be 30-minutes into my flight home. Yeah!
Be lurking tonight and maybe tomorrow.

Wow!
Just got up from my afternoon nap…
dreamt I had spent the night sleeping under the stars in a tropical paradise only to be awoken by natives harvesting fruits from da sea.
This was interrupted by the surprise visit of a menehune with two ok his keiki wahine.
Then I woke up and drove home…

Look forward to seeing you at the Karaoke Call!
Righ=Right 😳
#49: Re. Berkeley, I believe Chancellor Tien in the early 90’s emphasized the importance of having a top notch athletic program and was instrumental in getting Russell White and Jason Kidd admitted into the school. Berkeley, though, is still very picky when admitting athletes whose raw academic scores might fall short in comparison to the regular pool of applicants.
wafan we have a cc at phuket thai on wednesday at 1130.
interested?

Thanks for the notice. But, I will not be able to make that one — have to get started on the work at home. Otherwise I will not hear the end of it. But, if I do a good showing at the beginning I will be able to “slack” a bit more later on.
Please, though give me a call! Koakane and SteveM have my cell number. I think SteveM has my local (Hawai’i) number, too. I definitely will not have any internet access while at home.
I know I will go through blog withdrawals.
The August 16 KC is already on my calendar. I just need to find Young Street and then find the business. I am definitely looking forward to that event! I do not sing, though, because I do not want to damage anyone’s hearing. As I understand, bleeding from the ears is a bad thing. HA!
About the photo of the soccer team above, I gave about a dozen of the photos to Jim Donovan at the blog bash. I was hoping he could locate any of the players/coaches and give it to them.
When I was attending UH about 100 years ago (ha-ha), someone gave it to me to sell to the soccer players. I don’t remember much about it now…getting too old. 🙂
I was going over my stash of UH sports photos for the blog bash when I came across these photos. So if you know anyone in the photo and how to get ahold of them, please let ST or Jeannie Lee know. Thanks.
Gigi: You’re right that it’s a 70’s photo. I attended UH from 71 to 76 and they were given to me at that time.
wafan…..will do.
Howzit Gang, just got back from the beach here in San Diego and uh no can compare to our beaches. Pretty decent size waves but water to choppy and washer machine style, sets coming all kine angles…
#100: Mahalos Ralph, appreciate it was too lazy to click back to the previous blogs
#111: Mahalos Pride, I knew they was related somehow. I know our LB’s is solid now but wow I can envision a killah LB corps for year aftah year. With all the young LB’s in the waiting and the pick up of Paipai, Alema, and Art, whew just think of the potential all-stars we going have…too much!
Leonard Peters: Eh uso tone become a pretty boy now…nah, nah. Good for you my bruddah, good luck this season with the Bears…au’ryte!
Re: Green Bay
Nothing against Viagra user Brett Favre, but I think Green Bay is doing the right thing by letting Aaron Rodgers start. If Favre stays with GB he should help in the development of Rodgers knowing it will be his team. Having sat behind Favre for the past 3 yrs. or so may have given Rodgers enough knowledge of the offense but he needs some game time experience. Favre at 38yrs old can still play but either he backs Rodgers up or just goes to a different team to start, JETS perhaps???
pboy….don’t forget. what if we get manti te’o, too?
that would be an awesome lineup of local lb’s.
Tsai-kettes who love football…
Dunno if any of you know about this, but there’s is actually a womens football league called the IWFL Independent Women’s Football League. Football pads and everything, wonder if Hawaii will ever form a team??? Anyway, a good friend told me about it who actually plays on the SoCal Breakers team…thought it may be of interest to some of you…
http://www.iwflsports.com/
al – das definite icing on the cake right there…Manti Te’o!
Manti if you ever read this blog, please my bruddah stay home and play for the Warriors. I know you gotta choose what’s right for you and would be selfish to say you gotta play for the home team, but uh please consider it. I garrans you’ll never find a better fan base who will support and show aloha as much as us Warrior Fans! I know you’ve been hearing the chants…
WE WANT MANTI!!!

Good evening to all!
Pauoa Boy…. Hawaii did have a pro women’s football team for a couple of years, not too long ago. They used to practice out at Central Oahu Park and would travel to California for games. I remember seeing local news articles about them as well.
Hi Kaimiloa!
Where is everyone?
LizKauai, Ill ask him if he knows Doug E.
Old Diver, Cal is an excellent academic school but one thing I was very surprised. They allow D’s (however limited, 1 I belive) on transfer students – at least athletes, and UCLA, Arizona and Colorado dont. Just a point I thought interesting
Well its still raining in Texas. Black clouds and just sheets of rain pouring down. Time to hit the sack. like 1 am but Im jet lagged. Aloha everyone.
Hiya!
Jes finished dindin.
Decided not to go the Coach Mack’s luau tonight… solly, Coach. I really need to sava kala for da swamp trip.
Speaking of which… it was nice speaking to alnbama this morning. It is amazing how you can be friends with a total stranger right away jes’ because he is a devoted Tsai-ko!
Good evening All
JaM…this is one of those nights/weekend where a lot of folks wen holoholo. They’ll come shuffling in Monday morning to say hi.
LizK…how you get time to keep those Redskin bloggers on their toes? lol
Al…glad to have you back. Glad to see you found the internet connections in Vegas. We were talking about Vegas 2009 already! It’s going to be humongus…can tell already. I’ll bet Wreck will have some tales to tell, too.
Tsaikos/kettes by Makaha side…kinda quiet without you folks! Well, OK, I know you stop by from time to time. Walking through the blog, can hear the floor creaking! 😀
BG- easy… just ignore all my chores!!!
Actually, it has been an interesting cruise through the NFL message boards and blogs.
We are really blessed to have such a family style blog here. We don’t really feel the need to find friendship in mutual hate – which seems to drive some of the boards.
Yet, when something uncool arises, we are able to muster a strong voice and sound the alarm.
All in all, the 5 or 6 F’s usually rule the day and enjoying them does not diminish manhood or femininity.
hey bg thanks for the aloha.
the boss and i had a great time we even extended our trip another two days.
believe it or not i lost 1.5 lbs. must have been all those shopping malls and the 100 degree temp. we basically ate two meals a day although quite a bit of buffets. i actually got tired of eating buffets.
i spoke to the gm of the cal while i was there whom i met through duffer and he said we could arrange some stuff through him for 2009.

Zorn is the consummate optimist. He also has no choice but to openly support and nurture the QB he inherited and whom the franchise has pre ordained as the QB of the future. We’ll see what happens, and as a fan, I’d love for JC to pan out, but I don’t see it.
Furthermore, that Zorn hand picked Colt Brennan in the draft speaks volumes.
Posted by: novaskin | July 26, 2008 11:02 PM
thats our boy this whole blog was ripping the QB’s except CB and they were there today at the scrimmage
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/jul/25/no-more-superstar/?page=3
Myth No. 2: Brennan’s poor showing against Georgia in the Sugar Bowl (22-for-38, 169 yards, three interceptions) proves he can’t play against elite, NFL-type competition.
Reality: He carved up several BCS teams in his three years, including a 559-yard, five-touchdown showing against Arizona State and a 42-for-50, 442-yard, five-score outing against Washington. He also topped 400 yards against Wisconsin, Purdue and Oregon State.
Well, I read Lucy Grealy’s “Autobiography of a Face,” from 3:30 to 8:30 pm today. What a lyrical, but searing, story it is about childhood cancer and its aftermath.
NYUH:
I really think this is going to get very interesting…..
kaimiloa, back in 99 I know they tried to start one up. I remember them having tryouts at Aiea Park. Wonder whatever happened to that league or why it went away??? I think with the popularity of football growing amongst women it would be good to have a pro women’s hawaii football team. After watching highlight videos of the IWFL I would definitely watch wahine play football and laying out other wahine on the turf.

Well I had my frozen beer…had my nap…no more paralysis
Hi BG…
Just being selfish…
Been extremely busy and haven’t been able to lurk too much even at work…
First evening with an extended availability of time to sit at the computer…(well skipping all chores for now including no dindin by announcing “Hobo night”!..means everybody on their own…can’t do that too often.
Hi PB!
oh yeah in 03 wasn’t there also a team called Pacific Blast or something like that???
Sup JaM: Were you able to go get media guides???
curveball, good to hear they were not ripping CB.
Meanwhile back on another message board, I jumped into this theme:
” Colt Brennan Needs A LOT of Work ”
Ahh- I see Hawaiiroller has jumped in too.
The reality is, many folks are so desperate for Colt to be the real thing that they have to keep kicking the tires and are impatient to see the qualities that we “homers” are touting.
The sensible ones are saying – give the guy a chance to learn, for crying out loud 😆
Wow JaM, you gotta work weekends too?
PB: planning to be up on campus on Tuesday. Are you interested in posters or schedule cards?
LizK: Yep..between cross country and/or Track then on the other day been helping out a cousin for years with bookkeeping/tax stuffs..he’s a CPA.
Will be gone 2 weeks in August so been trying to be ahead of the work..if there is such a thing.

I think you and I and Zorn really believe that he is the one that will fit this offense..they may not give it to him right away but ……I AM A BELIEVER

hi Bighilofan2: yep sent out today (only small kine this time!)
Apparently Zorn cancelled practice Sunday..maybe CB will update his Redskins blog……
Yup. I mean, the whole team is looking West Coast Offense in the face and having to make adjustments.
ALL the QB’s have to adjust. Zorn is even getting the tall ones to “play low” to about Colt’s height… bwahahha.
Zorn himself has a 3/4 lefty release 😆
I think Colt is in the best place he could possibly be in right now. The pressure is off – in that he isn’t expected to be the starter after 2 weeks of practice. Although Colt -vs- the Colts has a kind of ring to it
And having been a “system” QB in college gives him a leg up on Zorn’s system. Funny how “system” is not a dirty word in the NFL!
LizKauai [iMac] BELIEVER
Talk like that wants me to go have a CR….OK I will…. lets toast “SYSTEM” <:
Wow, that was a long day! Everyone else is sleeping so I’ll see how much stuff I can find and post in the next 10 minutes.
It is no surprise that Samson is listed as a starter, but it is good to note the other guys that will be on the line with him.
This is a note from Miami’s first practice during training camp.
Looks like the Miami coaches really made an example of 2 players (one of whom was projected to make their final 53-man roster) today.
Not good news for Reagan.
las vegas! Aiyaa! Another Tsaiko with too much time on his hands! Now has learned to type while standing on his head like Homey and co.
Gotta love this place where there’s foreign languages (Korean, Japanese, Pidgin, shop talk like “doing a Jojo/Emme/Herman Frasier) and characters of every kind (False/Koakane clan). No wonder we spend so much time here. No wonder we get withdrawals when we’re away from the blog for a day or two. 😀
Whoa, curveball! No go out driving now, y’hear?
More Hawaii guys coming onto the CB needs a lot of work thread and the late nite east coasters are mellowing.
We just gotta show em some FFFFF&F and get em laughing 😆
Hi bhf2! Fix ’em and the money will come, bruddah!
Lets look for non-Miami news now. This link has BSU’s poster schedule. 9 players are on their poster, with Ian Johnson in the middle.
Article about how the WAC will feature more running this season.

All is safe …home in Upper Kalihi Valley … the chickens are even asleep
SDSU is having to reduce their practice time because they practiced more than allowed by the NCAA last season. SDSU apparently self-reports a lot of minor violations…but I do not consider having a player play in the season opener when he’s not a full-time student a minor mistake. Athletes being full-time students should be something schools check at the start of every season.
curveball- no turn on da light when the chx are sleeping… !
Hi Garret! Yahoo! …er, except for Reagan. C’mon brah, you can do em!
Go Davone “stickum” Bess !!!
TCU has an interesting women’s football clinic. Q&A with the players, fashion show by the players, then the women split into groups and get to ask questions to the coaches.
LizK
Thanks for all the Colt news! Isn’t it so interesting to see the difference between other football related blogs and the Warriors Beat? 🙄 Can’t help but appreciate our Ohana even more.
See everyone in the morning!
Hi Liz! It isn’t that bad for Reagan to struggle a little in their first FB receiving drill. I think that blocking and running are far more important for the FB spot. However, everything will be taken into account with Reagan’s battle with Grigsby, so the fact that Reagan didn’t catch as well as his competition is something to note. Special teams will be critical for the FB battle and unfortunately, Grigsby is a top-tier special teams player.
However, last offseason Miami signed Detroit’s starting FB and he was supposed to start and Reagan was supposed to spend the year on the practice squad…until Reagan beat him out for the starting spot and they cut the other FB. So, I have faith in Reagan once they start the contact drills that he’ll show his excellence then.
This Texas A&M kicker is transferring to SMU. I remember this guy’s recruitment very well because he was an early commit to A&M (and I follow their recruiting because it affects Texas) and A&M told him that they needed him a year early due to their kicker situation…so he graduated from high school a year early! He actually played for A&M during what should have been his senior year in high school!
Since it appears that everyone went to sleep and I for some reason haven’t yet, I guess I’ll post one free play link.
Some granite countertops contain so much uranium that its radioactivity level exceeds safety standards. Apparently granite countertops are not tested for radioactivity before being sold, so having that level of radioactivity around for a long period of time could raise a concern.
whoa! Good thing I have tile countertops!
“CAMP OBSERVATIONS
WR Davone Bess caught everything with his hands and made two of the better catches in the morning practice.”
http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2008/jul/27/30gtlet-the-qb-battle-begin/
“Welcome back to Chicago Bears Training Camp highlights. Yesterday was the second day of training camp for the Bears and again no sign of Devin Hester.
But, they brought in another wide receiver from Hawaii Ryan Grice-Mullen. They signed the undrafted free agent after they released FB J.D. Runnels.
Ryan Grice-Mullen is 5’11” weighs about 183 and has a very slim chance of making the team, but he plays the slot and he could replace Devin Hester, if he never shows up again.
Ryan Grice Mullen is a rookie that signed with the Texans as an undrafted free-agent but was cut after the mini-camps.
I was a bit surprised that they didn’t keep him around for longer, I thought Grice-Mullen was the best WR on Hawaii’s team last year.
”
http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/Chicago_Bears_Highlights_From_Training_Camp_Day_2/296157
Could it have been RGM’s hamstring injury that sealed his doom? I wasn’t surprised when he was cut. I hope the Bears keep him.
LIZK – thanks for picking up those items on Colt, Bess etc. Like to know what “our” guys are doing!
Hi gigi, Hi Tom. Yep we’re all turning into little Garrets because there is just sooo much news out there about our grads!
gigi- our guys are being “led” to the teams they need to be with. We know how good they are and they should be where their talents can make a difference.
Still wondering where CJ is tho… and how his wife and little Kobe are doing!
OK… gotta get some sleep.

hey thanks las vegas………..
i didn’t know i could stand on my head.
hey, is this the post-dinner crew?
Al san,
watch out, the head might go flat!
btw, my share of the choco blueberries was five pieces, total!
choco blueberries? never had those.
I guess they have to be refrigerated like choco strawberries.
gigi,
since you are Asian the correct term for you would be Mongoloid Morbidity not Polynesian Paralysis.
Strangely enough, the paralysis dissipated upon drinking a Beck’s. I immediately vacuumed the house and began and finished reading a book.
Beck’s is the answer to all my problems.
just kidding. Beck’s certainly does strange things to a diet plan.
My Paralysis is often brought on by copious doses of Rice, Gravy and Mac salad.
When these terrible symptoms hit, only bed rest will cure.
But I DID vacuum and read a whole book this afternoon.
There is something warm and comforting about sinking in a sea of words…
at least you got five.
my favorite though is that macadamia puffed rice bars.
gg….this is the night shift. and no need refrig.
Carbs make me lazy, too.
so just the 3 of us tonight? Any lurkers out there?
I’ve found that a few Becks or like beverage changes the prescription of my glasses, for some reason most females start looking better.
However some require at least a six pack before improving.
do the guys start looking better, too?
well “I” definitely become better looking, and skinnier while consuming adult beverages, but return to my ugly, fat self in the morning.
gigi – there’s only one way to find out.
“a few” Becks? How many is that?
My limit is 2. Anymore than that and I get sick.
You’re not fat and ugly.
There’s Hiflyer! Where’s Ralph?
life is strange, when I get behind the wheel of my new car, I become Richard Petty or Mario Andretti or on certain days, Danica Patrick.
Once out of the car, I become Chin Ho of Hawaii 5-0.
gigi,
we’ve never met
If we had met, you would agree wholeheartedly with me.
LV, I bet you are the kind of guy who fixes every single dent in his car as soon as they appear. Hubby is that way.
Me? My Hyundai still has a dent in the front passenger door from 2005!
Al san,
did you stay extra days?
LV, I have seen your pics on SteveM’s site. You are not fat and ugly!
BTW, do you dye your hair?
Your wife is very attractive.
gigi,
for the first two years, I am that lousy guy who takes up two spaces when parking, so I get no dents.
After a couple of years, I don’t worry as much.
Thank you gigi,
Whats left of my desperately clinging hair is it’s natural color.
Mrs.LV IS attractive and beautiful and an all ’round nice person!
Hi babe! you reading this?
me, too. I have a few white strands, but don’t color my hair.
I wish my Hyundai had a plastic body like hubby’s Saturn. His is dent-proof. A shopping cart could hit it and it wouldn’t dent the car.
I would buy a Saturn but it doesn’t come in sub-compact sizes. I require sub-compact because my legs are short.
RE Upside down and backwards – I did a search using Upside Down and Backwards English Alphabet and got a huge number of hits, but I couldn’t find anything which told me how to write the code which would create the letters. All I could do is type in something in one bar and the words would appear upside and/or backwards in the bar below.
In any case, probably the code will not be recognized by whatever program the HA blogs use – it doesn’t even recognize the underline.
What am I supposed to do? Write something and copy and paste into Notepad and then into the Leave A Reply box? Or do I paste it directly here? Or do I create the alphabet and save it to use in writing a post which doesn’t seem very efficient since my mind doesn’t work upside down and/or bacwards very well.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Is anyone interested in raising $2,000 – for PIAA and to help reimburse BHF2’s generous underwriting of the JUGS repairs? If so, just say so here and I’ll post the proposal sometime next week.
BHF2: Are you going to attend the UH Athletic Department fundraiser on Thursday evening?
A-House: If you do not have my phone number, you can get it from Stephen or Wena. Since I go into town almost daily, we can meet there at your convenience.
Off to bed – chores in the early morning before we go to a memorial service/tree planting & dedication at 2 pm.
Have a wonderful Sunday everyone.
two words,
bubble wrap
3am time for moi moi work day shift today
aloha
Doc, why this sudden interest in typing upside down words? haha. Seems like too much work to me.
nite, LV.
lv….yah we stayed another two nights. left thurs 0230.
our only cost was the money we left downstairs every night.
before I go to sleep,
gigi, although I have never seen your legs and frankly the thought of seeing them up close scares me, they cannot be that short.
besides I think Saturn has done away with the plastic body and returned to sheetmetal.
Al san,
shoulda called
Mrs LV was off Tue,Wed&THU nites
good nite all
LV, no, the Ion and Vue still have plastic bodies, but the Aura does not. So it depends on the model.
Anyway, I know what it is like to drive a compact. I have to sit too close to the steering wheel for my foot to touch the pedal.
Sub-compacts are more comfy.
Gigi must have scared everyone away! nah, it’s been a long night waiting on the refreshing of each page….had a lot of problem going to LizK link to Colt’s article and back to the HA site, kept on loading without getting to the HA site. to frustrating so I gave up for quite awhile….

Special recognition to UHfan808 who was recently elevated to Super Cheffess status for her “friggin awesome” homestyle Portuguese Bean Soup. Look for it on your favorite neighborhood grocery shelves (note that I said “look” – it may not actually be there).
Jojo tell Jeje to throw out a challenge for the 1st Tsaiko T-gate PBS challenge. It would be interesting to see which of them would reign supreme in a blind ‘bean’ soup taste test. (Remember Rap’s Cracka test?)

Re: Colt Brennan – Love how everyone is anticipating and critiqueing Colt’s every move. Colt doesn’t necessarily need alot of work throwing the ball, the work that Zorn wants him to get better at is his dropback footwork under center and movement in the pocket. Zorn has a different way he teaches this, so his focus for Colt is his technique basically. Love how he implements different drills using Madden Football like stuff. Like the throwing of the medicine balls at QB’s to simulate a pass rush, etc…very creative.
Re: Davone Bess – Miami would be really stupid if they don’t have Bess on a roster spot. After reading all the blogs, articles, and practice films…seems to me like Davone has the best hands of all there receivers. He would make them and excellent slot receiver with those hands especially in third down situations where guys like Wes Welker excelled.
Re: Ryan Grice-Mullens – Needs to get his hammy straight or else??? I believe he can make the Bears team…although I’d rather him be on a better team with a better QB. Grossman is garbage and don’t understand why he still starts in Chicago. Reminds me of Alex Smith on the 49ers, frikkin scrubs! Will be a battle though with Devon Hester back and Rashied Davis (WAC alum SJSU) switching to receiver.
Re: Reagan Mauia – I believe he will be Miami’s starting FB again this season. With Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams running frequently, I think he is a better blocking FB than Grigsby. How often does Miami throw to the FB??? Besides they have to figure out there QB situation too which means more running to ease there QB in…
Anybody heard any news on how Hercules Satele is doing in AZ?

Aloha Kakahiaka, gangees! Morning, ST!
Beautiful sunny day in Arid-zona. Tropical storm Dolly provided two days of drenching thundershowers. Today’s AZ Cardinals practice is scheduled on the practice fields outside; they moved into the Skydome yesterday when we had uku rains. New turf in there, so it’ll be interesting to see it when they have an indoor scrimmage. Met some people from HI (Maui, I think) who were looking to meet Francisco, Satele, LaBoy & Letui at practice. Me, too!
Stretch – haha no worries
MeiLing – Any updates so far on how our local boys/polys are doing in the Cardinals camp?
Aloha, PB,
I haven’t been to a practice yet. Going this afternoon. Hope I can catch all of the guys at this practice. I’m going to wear my UH Warriors football t-shirt, so I stand out. Let you guys know what’s up. The Cardinals are here for a month, so I’ll be catching more practices & scrimmages later.
MeiLing…
Right on how’s the weather down there, blazing yet or what? I remember working in Yuma and was 115-120 degrees scorching hot on the flight line. Had to bring out buckets of water to throw the tools inside or else get blistahs from the frikkin heat. I like AZ but I dunno how you can handle…maybe Flagstaff not the bad though…
J,
Thanks for the link to the Korean Mama site. Funny.
Eh when we was talking about the slingbox when going overseas, anybody heard of the Hawaii IPTV where can watch Hawaii TV stations just like the slingbox? Found this after seeing if there was actually a slingbox with Hawaii TV, but I guess this is mo betta’…

PB, I live in the mountains of AZ at 7,000 ft. elevation. It’s pretty cool up here; maybe a high of 83 today if it doesn’t rain. We get snow in the winter. I’m not a desert rat; don’t like the heat in Phoenix.
Have you heard of this new site?
