GO WARRIORS!

#2

It is nice that the Warriors have this half-bye week to rest and recover from the road trip and still get an extra practice before the game. Also, the mid-week game gives the Warriors much-needed extra time considering how long it takes to travel to Ruston.

yeh!!!, top ten!!

GOOD LUCK TO DA WARRIORS AGAINST LATECH!!!

Cincinnati has a great QB, and to think that he came out of no where to claim the starting job and the success he;s having so far is tremendous.

Morning! Morning! Morning!

Hey Slugger-
Hows da ankle feeling?

My, #17…..forgot to mention that Joe Montana said that one of the concerns bout the shot gun formation was that they were concerned about the ball from center sailing over the qb’s head..duhhh?,(practice makes perfect).

good morning mctruck. interesting observation and statement by JM, but why is Peyton, Donovan, Tony R, Brett, etc in a spread or shotgun offense most of the time. under center is a dying breed like dinosaurs.

found this about the upcoming fisticuffs in Ruston, La.

Joe Aillet (pronounced eye-a) Stadium was named after former football coach Joe Aillet, who complied a 151-86-8 record and nine conference championships from 1940-66, is a member of the Louisiana Tech Athletic Hall of Fame and the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame. In 1985, a Sky Box was added over the press box. Four years later the stadium itself was expended to the present capacity in order to join Division I-A. The first touchdown pass in the stadium was completed between Terry Bradshaw and Buster Herren as the Bulldogs went on to win the inaugural game against East Carolina.

Joe Aillet Stadium has been home to Louisiana Tech football for the past 40 years and the Lady Techster soccer team since 2005.

Bulldog football fans have watched legends such as Terry Bradshaw, Roger Carr, Fred Dean, Pat Tilley, Matt Dunigan, William Roaf, Troy Edwards and Tim Rattay all don the Tech Red and Blue.

Opened in 1968 at a capacity of 23,000, Joe Aillet Stadium — which wasn’t given its current name until Nov. 11, 1972, when it was dedicated in honor of the former Tech coaching legend — has proven instrumental in some of the biggest wins in the program’s 100-plus year history.

The facility was upgraded in 1985 when a luxury sky box was added to the press box and again in 1989, when an additional 7,600 seats were added, increasing the seating capacity to 30,600.

In the summer of 2006 Joe Aillet Stadium received a new surface as Fieldturf Mono — which is considered the top of the line artificial turf — was installed by FieldTurf Tarkett. A totally new lighting system was also installed that same summer as the top-of-the-line television quality lights were installed, replacing the old system.

The winning tradition Aillet established during his days of coaching at Louisiana Tech has continued as the Bulldogs have posted 10 perfect seasons in the facility’s history.

Joe Aillet Stadium has proven to be a tough place for opposing teams to play for four decades. Over the course of the stadium’s history, Tech has dominated opponents as the 118-48-2 record indicates, a winning percentage of 70-percent. Since Tech moved up to Division I-A in 1989, the Bulldogs have registered a mark of 56-22 at Joe Aillet Stadium, a winning percentage of almost 72-percent.

In that inaugural game against East Carolina at Joe Aillet Stadium, a young quarterback named Terry Bradshaw guided the Bulldogs to the victory as Tech fullback Buster Herren scored the first touchdown ever at the stadium on a two-yard run with 6:20 remaining in the second quarter. The first of many memorable moments for Tech fans in Ruston.

On two different occasions over the past 40 years, Tech has registered streaks of 18 straight wins at Joe Aillet Stadium.

One of the biggest individual matchups in the stadium’s history came on Sept. 5, 1998, when two future NFL quarterbacks squared off as Central Florida’s Daunte Culpepper led his team to a 64-30 win over Tech’s Tim Rattay and the Bulldogs. Culpepper (Oakland Raiders) passed for 370 yards and four scores while rushing for 69 yards and two more touchdowns while Rattay (Arizona Cardinals) passed for 524 yards and three touchdowns.

The 2000 season saw a milestone reached at Joe Aillet Stadium as the Bulldogs under head coach Jack Bicknell recorded the 100th win in the facility’s history. True freshman quarterback Luke McCown tied an NCAA Division I freshman record by tossing six touchdowns in the milestone 48-14 victory over UL-Lafayette on Oct. 14, 2000.

Joe Aillet Stadium hosted its first nationally televised game on Dec. 5, 2002, when ESPN came to town to produce Louisiana Tech’s game against Fresno State. Although Tech fell in the contest, it was another milestone for the program and the facility it has called home.

The 2004 season opened with another nationally televised home game, as the Bulldogs defeated Nevada 38-21 Sept. 6 on ESPN2. This was just a preview of things to come during the season at Joe Aillet Stadium.

Less than one month later, Tech fans were able to witness one of the greatest games in Joe Aillet Stadium history, as Louisiana Tech downed No. 17 Fresno State 28-21 on Oct. 2. Tech trailed 13-0 early in the second quarter before running back Ryan Moats and the Bulldog defense turned up their level of play. Moats rushed for 236 yards and four scores, including the game-winner with just under four minutes to play, which was set up by an interception deep in Fresno State territory.

The win was sealed when Tramon Williams intercepted Paul Pinegar with less than 30 seconds remaining, starting a wild celebration that saw the goalposts in both end zones torn down.

These games and many more are what have made Tech fans the real winners over the years.

Following the installation of the new FieldTurf surface, Tech soccer moved into the stadium permanently beginning with the 2006 season. The Lady Techsters boast an overall record of 9-9-3 through the 2007 season in games played at the stadium.

wish I could go. they gonna give us a good fight. but our coaches and Warriors showed me at UNLV that they can handle.

Hawaii by 10, 34-24.

Go Warriors!

since coach Landry introduced the “shotgun” to Dallas, that has been their trademark offense.

Alnbama,

good morning. remember your job:

REPRESENT WARRIOR NATION! 😀

pretty please.

Joe Montana was my favorite nfl player. plus he went da catlick school. then he wen dis my cousin’s cousin’s best friend forever’s friend’s neighbor from Honokaa. been all downhill since den. 😉

hiya LizK.
have a great day, and keep smiling!

well, gotta follow da example and go work.

hi ho hi ho.

esme wooooshhh.

Tom Mui,

I just saw your post from last night. Sorry I couldn’t deliver better results.

By the way, I have faithfully been voting for the books for Hawaii. I hope everyone else is voting on a daily basis.

On the road to LT on national TV on a Wed. What could be a better challenge? If the defense can pull this off it will be a historic achievement!

Upane Kaupane!

UH – 35
LT – 21

Yes,
QB Pike & Cincinatti offense is resembling Hawaii’s R & S. It’s working.

The wilcat offense is meant for good yardage. It worked well for Miami, only because of the RB that has past QB skills.
If Greg Alexander is left in the play, then goes wide into motion to spread the DB, shouldn’t he be a part of that play as receiver?
Do the coaches have any intentions for this? If not, replace GA with a back/receiver and enhance the odds for options.

Mostly wondering what the game plan for La Tech will be. I few new wrinkles in the offense would upset their game film of our past 3 outings.

Shoring up our ailing defense with some healthy Warriors would be just what we need. Gotta go, bbl…

I usually don’t like asking for stuff from the Tsaikos but this is something that is important to me. On October 18, the Susan G Komen foundation is holding the Hawaii Race for the Cure. My mom is a breast cancer survivor and usually participates in this walk but will be on a trip. I will be taking her place and joining the HawaiiMoms team for the 5K walk. If anyone wants to join me and the Moms, please join their team. If not, I humbly ask that you make any donation. Attached is a link to my page.

Hi ST!

Sorry guys LaTech hungry.
LaTech 28 UH 21

Good morning Tsaikos….whew..still recovering from LV…you guys are crazy.

Happy B-Day Hiflyer…someone pass him the mic…

Oops…Stretch…#56…is Es part of that team because I donated to her. I can donate to your stuff too. E-mail me because I want to write a check and not use a CC for the donation.

Stretch
My vegas connections told me.
Let’s say LaTech 35 UH 31.

SHANNON: I grew up with the single-wing myself.

Aloha Everybody!

Like Kekoa, just catching up on resuming life in paradise…only I’ve been home 3 days earlier so what’s my excuse. Spending 5+ hours picking lint out of a laundry batch of black sweaters/tshirts/jackets is a real p _ _ _. We’ve taken a vow to check ALL pockets in EVERY jeans/shorts/jackets before loading washer. Thanks for allowing me to vent.

It’s great to be home again. Despite the loss at UNLV, I can’t say enough good things about our Warrior football team. They stayed the course, kept the focus and maintained their mantra to do their best on this business trip. To every one of the Warrior football players, my heartfelt mahalo…for a job well done and continue to focus on doing your best…one game at a time…(praise well earned from Auntie A-House).

To my pal HawaiianBod –

Get well soon, my buddy. Koakane delivered your “message” to me in Seattle. I was very touched that you had made this special request via KK. Love and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

To my new Tsaiko friends whom I met for the first time –
djmitcho
Expat & family
BNS, Joanne, Suz
Izzy
CRW
azngamer808
losthawaiian & gang

I send you greetings and hope that we will meet again soon.

Brew808 –

What more can I say…your mystique endures. I must admit that my heart leaped when A-House announced that “Brew is here!” when you arrived at Cici’s. I gazed long and hard at your adorable face, and it is etched in my memory…no need any pictures of you. So what if you won’t even divulge your name to me…I can live with dat. Don’t ask me how old I am or how much I weigh…I can play the mystique game too. Nah, j/k.

Stephen Tsai –

I spelled out your entire name because I want you to pay attention to this message…what happens in Vegas STAYS in Vegas. You lovable bugger, you…to show there are no hard feelings, be prepared for an open-mouthed wet kiss (on your cheek, of course) with my gold-front toothed set of choppers.

To the Pilares Ohana –

It was really great to meet/talk story with you all…Mom, Dad, Auntie C and Uncle B. You guys are a riot! I’m so happy that with your picture posted on this blog, you have joined the ranks of the rich ($$$ and/or friends) and famous. Kealoha is fortunate to have a loving ohana that provides him with continuous support. Kealoha, continued success to you!

Alnbama –

It was special to greet you at the UNLV stadium. Thanks for making the effort to come over to our section, not to mention the long trek to join us at the game. Our offer still stands. Do you have both books, the Perfect Season and JJ’s A Story of Faith, Hope and Redemption? Both are “must-haves”. Mahalo for representing Tsaikos at the LaTech game.

Las Vegas and Rich 2176 –

Last but not least, these two Tsaikos richly deserve a standing ovation, kudos and shoutouts for the time and effort each put into assuring that all Tsaikos attending the UNLV game enjoyed every part of their experience. On behalf of each and every one of the 220+ Tsaikos who attended in part, the Kiku Hana karaoke dinner, the Cici’s lunch, the pleasant bus ride and cheering wildly together, reveling and the comraderie at Sam Boyd’s Stadium…a sincere and heartfelt MAHALO NUI LOA! dear friends.

okay, robert can sing…that’s a start.

btw, what brings this on?????

Stretch – What time is the Race and where is it being held. I went to the website and clicked on the home page, but there was no information about time or location.

Finally got my Internet hooked up here. Later tonight I’ll go through the other blog postings I missed during my 2 1/2 day drive cross-country to Virginia.

One of the (only) pluses about Verizon DSL is that ESPN360 is included, so I’ll get to watch the UH-La Tech game from my computer since I won’t be getting cable TV out here. Why pay $70/month for Comcast when I catch ~40 channels with a simple set of rabbit-ear antenna?

Other than that, I wouldn’t have spent all afternoon assembling cheap Ikea furniture if the instructions were just a little more clearer. Because their instruction booklet doesn’t have any words (only pictures), what they neglect to tell you when assembling one of their computer desks is that you have to put a screw THROUGH the laminate portion of the wood.

If that was the case, why don’t they provide a power drill? I don’t like busting my knuckles for that.

pomai uh 41 – latech 38
after the game the boys rush mid field and unveils the haka for coach doooley

Pomai!!!!!

38 – 31 UH!!!!!

It sure has paid off for BSU to schedule MAC teams. BSU has gotten 5 home games for just 2 road games…a really nice ratio that really cannot be gotten from any other D-IA conference.

On Saturday, the Broncos will make the first of just two appearances at MAC stadiums during an eight-year run of scheduled Boise State-MAC showdowns.

In exchange, the Broncos have received five home games against MAC teams — and that’s just the start. The Broncos have used the holes created by last-minute MAC changes to land a four-year contract with Utah, a two-year contract with Southern Miss and a one-year, $1.25 million contract to play Virginia Tech.

“It’s been a good scheduling opportunity for Boise State,” athletic director Gene Bleymaier said.

Hmmmm…some news both good and not so good regarding injuries of UH players. Dang. Hope everyone heals fast. Going to be rough the next few outings.

ST, or anybody, I’ve been soooo busy at work prior to the UNLV game preparing for my trip to LV that I wasn’t able to get on the blog as much. Whatever happened to George Daly Lyles? Did he redshirt???

yo stephen, lose weight now ask me how.

A-house, My son-in-law thanks you for the book. He’s a mizzou Tiger fan but I’ve converted him to Hawaii here on the west coast.

Check out this article, perhaps a future warrior??

But, if you would e-mail me your mailing address the cheque will be in the mail tomorrow.

[THURSDAY – DAY 4. Port of Topolobampo in the Sea of Cortez
1855 MDT]

Good afternoon everyone, especially fellow Tsai-ko Cruisers!

Docked at Topolobampo, Mexico at 0500 MDT this morning. I suppose the early arrival is to allow people going on the Copper Canyon train ride (18 hours, $425.99) time to get back before we sail at 0100 for our next port.

The port has only one pier and only 3/4 the ship fits, but it is very scenic with what looks like rivers converging here between low hills. Many small islands connected by manmade roads. The shore excursions were few and too pricey for me so we chartered a cab who took us through Topolobampo to Los Mochis around 20 miles away…big city (even had a Home Depot, KFC, and Burger King 😐 ). Stopped at Mavari Beach for a pix on that Sea of Cortez beach.

Back to a snapshot of shipboard life: being a port day, there are fewer daytime activities on board ship. Cruise Director staff activities today include Wii table tennis and bowling, golf putting, karaoke, and 1 trivia contest (no arts & craft, bingo, or game show today). But the Cruise Director has noticed the 4-6 tables of Mah Jong going all day on the pool bar tables and has designated a “Mah Jong Tournament with your fellow Guests” at 1100 and 1400 in the card room. Hope the Casino Manager doesn’t come over wanting a piece of the action. 😆

Tonight’s professional theater performance is the Antonio Ramirez Mexican Folkloric Festival Show. The Cruise Director’s Latin Fiesta dance party follows at 2230 on the pool deck.

For the alcoholic beverage crowd the 0800-1100 Happy Hour specials are same as yesterday in the ship’s 11 bars. No NCL-“U ” drinking courses today.

Next port: Pichillingue/La Paz. ETA 0800 Friday

It is amazing that they have thrown 10 passes in Bess’ direction and he’s caught all 10! This is against NFL defenses with a QB who has a much lower success rate throwing to other WRs.

WR Davone Bess, Miami Dolphins: What I find interesting about Bess: 10 targets and 10 receptions! He catches whatever comes his way.

Nooners Tsaikos!!

ALSO, VOTE for Greg Alexander, let’s show our support and keep moving him up the list … and build a reputation of fostering great quarterbacks!

Here at Manoa and already Bob Coolen got his Wahine workin out on Ching Field. A lot of speed and quickness stuff.

Well I’m pretty far away, but looks like the softball team.

Hi-Flyer ~ Best wishes for a speedy recovery from your Birthday Bash!…What? There was no bash?…Come by this weekend, we bash you at my house! Nah! j/k. I know you stopping by. We’ll toast to you then my friend.

LostHawaiian ~ We need to look ahead for the next Vegas fb game in 2011. If we both combine our resources and reserve the Suites at WorldMark, we could throw one heck of a Luau ovah dere! Contact me at kekoa22 at aol dot com Let’s see what we can do about providing some affordable rooms for the Traveling Tsaiko’s.

Those who stayed there this year were very happy with their units, and have indicated that they wouldn’t mind staying there again.

I’ll make (another) contribution to match my initial amount if Stretch does shave his head!

UH 38-20!

Kazz UH parking cost more that the season tickets for wbb.

Kazz,

What is your assessment of the softball team? Will they run around the
base path or jogging around like the last few years?

808ike,

Um you got me on that one. You mean them hustling or hitting more homers so all they have to do is “jog” the bases?

Kazz,

Hitting home runs like previous years.

808ike,

If Majam is everything Coolen thinks she can be then maybe. With Parnaby as another pitcher to rely on Ricketts can have her turn at the plate too. Makani Duhaylonsod-Kaleimamahu had a few nice homers last season, Kanani Pu’u-Warren came alive at the end of last year, Amanda Tauali’I returns, and Dara Pagaduan should be better with a season under her belt.

No doubt Coach Coolen had a long offseason to think about the hitting issues last season.

Howzit guys!

Busy day at work. Could only lurk.

Happy bday Hiflyer!

Will watch the replay tonight. DVR is working overtime tonight.

WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!?!?

Only now I noticed Kanani Danielson is nowhere to be found!

She’s not even on the sidelines.

Wow… Billy V should NOT be singing the national anthem… 😯

tonight’s news
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlUFXi46Fdg

al, the pic above as ST described in #119 are the sports casters
the quote he has above it is from summer lovin’ from grease.

Regarding # 143

While that is certainly true, many athletics have transfered back to UH from other universities. Happiness is a two way street.

Got Heun, Alexander, J. Taylor, Jasper, B. Leonard, and Lefiti in da house!

Cleveland’s head coach was asked about David Veikune’s prospects to get some playing time on defense.

(On when David Veikune will get on the field with the defense)- “I think both he and Kaluka (Maiava) are moving forward a little bit each week. They’ve gotten work with the defensive unit through the course of practice. He’s been up for those games, so he has to be ready to play. When that opportunity will come, or when he’ll get reps, there will be some times when we may cycle those guys through, to try to distribute the reps.”

(On if there is something specific Veikune needs to do to get on the field with the defense)- “He has some versatility, which is positive. He’s worked outside. He’s worked inside. He needs to keep improving with his overall understanding of the defense, of that week’s opponent and contributing on special teams. Sometimes, you go to the game and you may not get any defensive reps, or offensive reps, but you make a real impact on teams. What we’re look for, ideally, is everybody that goes to the game has an impact in whatever role they’re asked to play.”

Free play link time. Please ignore my next 5 posts if you do not want to read the off-topic stuff.

Proposed next-generation rapid transportation system uses computer-controlled vehicles that “levitate” from their rails. The sky pods carry up to 3 people and travel up to 150 mph.

Battery made of *paper* has many potential applications like having words lit up in wrapping paper.

People were upset that a New England town refused to allow a “yoga for peace” gathering in honor of the International Day of Peace…so they brought *guns* to their protest.

Howzit Tsaikos!!

I usually don’t like asking for stuff from the Tsaikos but this is something that is important to me. On October 18, the Susan G Komen foundation is holding the Hawaii Race for the Cure. My mom is a breast cancer survivor and usually participates in this walk but will be on a trip. I will be taking her place and joining the HawaiiMoms team for the 5K walk. If anyone wants to join me and the Moms, please join their team. If not, I humbly ask that you make any donation. Attached is a link to my page.

Happy Birthday to HiFlyer!!

RE: Band travel fundraising

I think you should contact Don Weir to see what Na Koa might be able to do & find out how many cheerleaders they were able to sponsor for the WSU game. I suspect that they won’t have the bucks to send the entire Pep Band since it’s such a large group. But ya never know unless you ask. You need to find out from Gwen N. how many students, at a minimum, should go and how much she thinks it would cost. THEN see if it’s feasible to do some fundraising to cover costs. The Chancellor has paid for some of these types of ad hoc activities, but the budget is really tight. This is not a good year to have UH pay for extras.

Were you able to give away your VB tickets tonight?

*peeks in the door*

Hey, everyone!

No – no one wanted the extra volleyball tickets. That makes a total of seven tickets worth $84 we could not give away – including five freebies from Stephen a couple of weeks ago.

As I said earlier, based upon our experience over the past four years of running redemption drives, we could raise anywhere from $1,500 to $6,000 in one swell foop. In the past four months alone, we’ve coordinated five drives for various organizations including the non-profit I work for – and raised about $25,000. That does not include the Tsa-ko T-Gates, by the way.

Don mentioned something about collecting HI-5 containers from Stadium tailgating parties. I left a message for him to give me a call if he needs help in planning & coordinating this.

Remember, that over 800 MILLION eligible cans and bottles are sold here in Hawai`i – that’s $40 MILLION in redemption fees collected and only about 80% of the fees collected are paid out.. That’s $8 MILLION sitting in a State Department of Health’s restricted account. It cannot be spent because it belongs to someone else so it sits there drawing interest. And even that money cannot be spent except for operating the program.

Hope to see some of you at the volleyball game on Saturday.

Good morning Tsaikos everywhere.

Thanks d1, glad to know the US’ reported high rates of IM might have a better explanation.

Go Warriors!

NYUH,

Go Warriors!
Imua!

Have a terrific day erryboddy!

HiHo…

Man, I was REAL exhausted after the game last night, but good to see Cascioppo getting to start in conference play not sure how much time she would have seen had Kanani not been under the weather, but for the most part, I think she did ok other than a few mental things and Forsythe did nicely in the 3rd set.

Still.. Kind of sloppy play at times. BSU had nothing to lose in front of the largest crowd they’ll see all year so they looked better than a team that is 0-11. Granted not having a starter in the lineup and starting two players that aren’t usually starters (Lee and Cascioppo) effected the “fluidity” of how they started.

NEXT!!! 😎
