First!

Good morning Tsai-kos!

Good morning Tsaikos here and everywhere

when does #2’s season begin? gotta be pretty soon. watched the leilehua game on tv, was a lot of fun….

Good Morning Tsaiko Family!

The fires aren’t near us, but they may be affecting some of our LoCal members in L.A. The last I heard 120,000+ acres have burned in the biggest fire.

Good Morning from California!

Wassup Nasti and Coach Miano!

Easy question for both of you…what’s the favorite grinds or places to grind?

GO WARRIORS!!

ALOHA Coach Miano & Nasti

coach,
i haven’t had the chance to watch any practices, my question is, with this group of DB’s, is there any player that has the “PACKAGE” to play at the Next Level? mahalos

“Nasti” Nate

thanks for entertaining us with your outstanding play for all those years, although i wish you didn’t miss all that time that you did, due to different injuries that you had. anyway, is the Football playing days over? if so, what about following your boy L. Peters and playing some RUGBY?

COACH,

as a kid back in the day, i remember seeing you running KILAUEA Ave. up in Kaimuki, is that still part of your workout? what benefits do you gain from running the steep hill?

To Coach Miano and Nasti-
Lots of folks are talking about UH being upset this Friday by the under rated Bears. I don’t agree. Do you think the guys Warriors are ready to play hard this week?

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/01/sports/baseball/01hawaii.html?_r=1&ref=sports

This story featured yesterday in the New York Times is about the Hawaii High School Athletic Association fund raising drive called Save our Sports, where private citizens and corporations have come together in keeping alive high school sports for the Hawaii school kids in the wake of the state government’s financial crisises.

The man behind the scene is the association’s chairman, Keith Amemiya. And what he is doing is helping raising monies and drumming up pledges is very similar to what bh2 did in generating pledges for the bike drive. For they both have the love in their hearts in helping the kids. And it’s through their leadership that things get done.

People that overcome adversity, like Amemiya, instead of bellying up are masterminds. And he’s doing everything in his power to being the best surrogate for the kids.

And if Amemiya had whispered to the New York Times editor in featuring this story so that it further generates publicity resulting in more pledges coming in from all across the country how ingenious is that.

Not only does Amemiya hit out of the park in his providing the needed leadership, also note that in the article it said that Amemiya and his wife donated 30k.

I applaud Amemiya. For there’s no doubt in my mind a lesser man would have left the fates of the kids in peril.

John Fonoti carted off practice field holding his left knee.

per R. Kekaula: hurt during 11’s….on the ground, screaming, holding his knee….not good

Hi d1,
guess we both listening to the same program this morning eh?
Hope it’s not as serious and he’s able to play later….. now gotta wait
for report on his injury.

702,

Actually got the tweet from Stephen first, then tuned in.
This should drive up viewership for the Tsai/Wai show!

Lets hope we get some good news on TW show today on John.
So, whose left on the line that can step up?
Gotta find someone to step up and not wait for next year

Bulla,

#2 starts next week at home against #4 ranked team. Might as well see whatcha got early, eh?

He’s working thru a pulled hammy from the second day of practice…disappointing for him…#1 counseling him to be patient and come back strong when he’s ready.

#51 Wow that sucks.

Prayers for Fonoti.

Coach Miano

How are the coaches preparing the team to get fired up for Central Arkansas? One of my pet peeves, even when I was playing, is that people take smaller teams lightly too often. I’ve already heard from some around town about what a blowout it is going to be against Central Arkansas. I keep telling them that Central Arkansas is a good team and they can play. Just because they are a smaller school doesn’t mean they can’t play.

I know in some of the interviews after the Michigan loss to Appalachian State, the Michigan players were saying they didn’t take them seriously and weren’t fired up to play and were already looking towards their next game. Well, we all know what happened.

I hope you guys don’t take Central Arkansas lightly and bring everything you have…bring the A game Coach…!!!

Thanks.

i heard Heun was looking good in unsupervised workouts as a DE. thats another good option. gets us paper thin at MLB after that move. domino effect.

what about aaron rink

December 2, 2009
Save the Date for a once in a lifetime event celebrating the Centennial of UH Football
More later when the flyer is officially released.

ugh….fonoti’s injury sounds bad.

someone will step up to the plate. perhaps it will be toilolo, liko, allen-jones, waylon, falemalu, or perhaps we get a maracle. maybe its time has come sooner and a star is born.

nasti….thanks for the years of making memories. i don’t think we’ll ever see the likes of such a combination of size, shake n bake, speed, and power like we enjoyed in you.

is their anything that you teach the running backs other than what came naturally to you that help improve their game?

rich…we all know you as the ultimate over-achiever. what a story. i know you use your personal experiences to inspire greatness to the players.

who in the past few years literally exemplified that same mantra?

im kinda pissed that mack didnt recruit a JC DE.

NASTI- Have you been staying in touch with Colt? Did he share anything with you that you can share with us?

btw, did they ever find a replacement for Stutz I?
Is Nasti eligible?

September 1st, 2009 at 9:19 am
Fonoti’s injury made my heart stop! We can’t afford to lose the leaders in Defense OR Offense.

i cant get mines to start back up…

RE: #49
I think Jim Donovan is doing a good job, but I can’t help wondering what Amemiya could’ve done for UH Athletics if he was AD. One of the knocks on him during his candidacy was lacking connections with the mainland, but his resourcefullness and “never say die” attitude could’ve overcome that.

we whiffed on ryan davis last year. even brought him in for a tour.

Howzit Everybody,

Didn’t we get a commitment from a JC DE last year Jon Bon Watts but he decided to stay on the mainland for personal reasons. If we had gotten him into school, we probably would not be hurting as much. JMO

COLT WATCH:
http://www.redskins.com/do/videoGallery?video=150445

I hope that Fonoti’s injury isn’t too bad and that he’s fully healthy soon. The timing is extremely bad not just for this game, but because UH goes on an extended road trip after this and the rehab facilities won’t be as easily available for people on the road.

UH’s 17-page game note document for the UCA game is on their website.

Camarillo was with the first-team offense for Miami today, so apparently both Camarillo and Hartline are ahead of Bess.

Greg Camarillo is working with the starting receivers today, leapfrogging over Brian Hartline and Davone Bess.

Why? Probably because they want to see how last year’s opening game starter responds to the late call-up. Last year Camarillo got a similar call up after Derek Hagan’s bad showing in the New Orleans exhibition game and never looked back, becoming Chad Pennington’s favorite target.

I’m surprised Bess hasn’t shifted into another gear. I picked him as the offensive player primed for a breakout season in the Sun-Sentinel’s Football section, that debuts on Friday. You have to figure he’ll at least match his production from last season, right?

Feature story about Jake Ingram.

The 23-year-old Ingram said the lessons he learned from his time with Hodel will serve him well down the road.

“He definitely, definitely did help me,” Ingram said Tuesday morning. “He’s never a guy who was trying to treat me like a rookie. It seemed like he was more trying to help me out, trying to help me get better. And also, we were pushing other, hopefully making each other better.

“It was awesome having him around, and I wish the best of luck to him and his family. I’m sure he’ll get a job soon.”

“At his college position, he was the best in the country. Period,” said Hawaii coach Greg McMackin. “I’ve had him here the last two years, and he was 100 percent on all snaps. I don’t want to hex him, but I’ve never seen a bad snap from him.

“I think Bill Belichick has made an outstanding decision.”

actually it had to be 07 bc he didnt play in 06

letsgowarriors,

I agree, UH shouldn’t have Fonoti with the team unless he’s okay to play. The downside of leaving him home for the first game is that means he’ll miss the Washington State game and leadership could be very important for the inexperienced Warriors D playing their first road game of the season.

If UH was playing at home for the second and third games, the cutoff for Fonoti to play would be later. However, the travel roster has to be made and they have to take into account the different capability for rehabbing injuries on the road.

Al,

I agree that seems like good news on Fonoti. However, I won’t feel comfortable until all the medical results are in. Wasn’t Fonoti being limited in practice even before this due to injury?

let’s go D line, step up!!!!!

stephen,

i think after redshirting this season, Umu will only have 1 to play 1. and he is a DT not a DE.

morning gang!

question for Nate

have you had a chance to catch some waves since you came back to the islands?

d1島 – #66 was thinking the same thing about huen, thats one crazy bugga, plus he get one cool hairdo

Lil Wayne sux

Loa: Click on the menu button on the player, then click on “browse on demand library” Not all of the shows are in there, but we’re working on moving all of them over.

Shauna & Scott – thanks for the responses, i’ll give it a try

What about Aaron Rink I thought he stood out in spring practice

Sad stream – Solly was released…

Hey- d1Shima’s question ???

d1 you broke the stream.

Fonoti should consider a medical hardship 6th year.
Difficult to comeback, given the timing of his injury–especially at his DE position as former DE and converted DT Chris L. can testify. The bears are known for tough,
quick, cut-block schemes.

Stretch – Where is it? Not that familiar with Waikiki except for the big hotels. What time? How much?

Stretch – I think they said 6:30.

BTW, saw the poster, but don’t know the details – show your Warrior Jack at Jack in the Box and get 10% off your order.

sucks about fonoti’s injury. hope he’s able to recover as quickly as possible, hopefully some of the young pups will emerge.

interesting to note that fresno’s qb from the last couple years, brandstater could be starting for denver come week 1 as a rookie due to injuries to orton and simms. very interested to see how he does if he indeed has to start, hopefully colt will get his opportunity soon…

$6 parking; no $1 Heineken; Ala Moana Blvd. traffic….

not exactly the recipe for success 🙄

Hi Nalani!

Whoosh!

somebody asked about rink….he is somewhere near 215 lbs.

Nalani,

Did you see Kaha’i in the HA video of practice?

#102Garret

The thing I could never understand is how can you evaluate the QB if you don’t let them play with the first string players? It’s obvious that you can’t run the system if you have to scramble every play because your line sucks.

Pomai,

#102 – I agree.

al,

I could meet you tomorrow to p/u the horseshoes. Let me know what time & where. I’m going early to the T-gate.

Happy September, Tsaikos! Not this week, but heard there are some people who are “working on” the $1 Heinekens for future Tuesday evenings. 🙂

al,

Oops, sorry, I can’t meet at lunch. Have to go pickup my Aunty & Uncle at the airport.

…..oh, I meant football field. 😉

heheheh

Any info out on the parking at the stadium this Friday?

…as far as the parking lot gates opening.

Lower Halawa opens at 1:30
All other lots open at 2:30

don.weir@uhf.hawaii.edu

You can email Don.

CC – you are such a bully. Why you have to yell at people??

Congratulations Mr & Mrs A-house on scoring those sideline passes!

➡ Please be very careful down on the field. I’m not too concerned about Mr. A-house. However, I worry that I might see you on the Jumbo screen *jacking* the officials! (Wait until they go into their locker room near the dugout and out of camera range). Hehehehe!

ST – Thanks for the GOOD news about Fonoti.

” Head coach Greg McMackin said it is “very probable” defensive end Fetaiagogo “John” Fonoti will play “

Stretch,

He trying to avoid mosquito bites dats why.

Don Weir,

Sent you e-mail. Perhaps I should be asking AKA?

We do request that if you plan on wearing sport apparel that it is UnderArmour

No worry, Mrs. A-house, if no mo, see Kazz fo’ borrow!

bhf2,
Give me a call about the season opener.

Thanks Kazz, I totally forgot so I only caught the last five minutes.

nvm, jason’s memory isn’t as good as kazz’s.

September 1st, 2009 at 7:30 pm
nvm, jason’s memory isn’t as good as kazz’s.

Chawan,

No. I just think Jason actually has a life.

I’ve got a terrible memory. Today, a woman walked into my class after school. She’s the sister-in-law of a friend, but I had no clue who she was for around three or four minutes while we were talking—and she was trying to explain to me who she was!

Right now, I only have around 1/3 of my students’ faces identified with their names. It’s hard, I’m not that smart … 🙁

Kazz,

Great job with the recap! Thank you very much for typing all that up for those of us who couldn’t listen to the show!

Thank you Kazz!

Bess appears to be running third out of the 3 receivers in the competition at Miami…that would be a worst-case scenario since that would mean that he wouldn’t start at WR and he might not even have the slot receiver position. If Hartline wins the starting WR spot, Bess might not play (Camarillo is ahead for the slot position)…if Camarillo starts, then Bess should hopefully get the slot position.

Greg Camarillo and Brian Hartline both worked intermittently with the first team at practice Tuesday, raising the possibility that it still might be premature to anoint Hartline as the starter in Atlanta 12 days from now.

Camarillo, whose work has been limited in preseason games due to his ongoing rehab from a torn ACL last November, had a 52-yard catch-and-run on a short out pattern last Thursday in Tampa Bay. But overall he’s worked primarily with the second team while Hartline, who had a 54-yard reception in the same game, has mostly been with the first team.

Jake Ingram found out that he won the long snapper position with the Patriots via a text message from his kicker.

Rookie long snapper Jake Ingram received the news via text message from kicker Stephen Gostkowski on Sunday night: Veteran long snapper Nathan Hodel would be cut, and Ingram had won the job, claiming a victory in one of the most tightly-contested position battles in training camp.

“I just realize the task at hand, and I know I have a lot of work to do,” Ingram said. “That’s all I can really think about, coming in here ready to go to work and have a positive attitude.”

Re-The Coaches Show

ST and Leila should do the coaches show.

That was unbearable. Thanks to BC for overseeing no direction to the show it was miserable listening to the show.

If BC replicated the way ST and Leila do their show, like limiting one question and a short hello would suffice and would make the Call The Coach Show a lot better.

I can see callers expressing a cursory hello, thank you coach and good luck in the upcoming season…and then get onto the question quickly.

But nope. BC show tonight, listeners go on and on with an overload of glorification towards the coach. Enough. My gosh let’s squeeze in more football questions instead of tributes. Gees.

Kazz, mahalo for the recap!
Mr. & Mrs. A-House, congrats!

Mr. and Mrs. A-House- time to go shopping! Mr A-House- I have a very nice black “special fabric” UA Warrior polo in XL that I got as a silent auction item…if you like borrow.

The sideline is awesome. Watch out for the camera cables and the truck. Be ready to check out the cheerleaders while Mrs. A-House is doing “guns inspection”.
Be sure to hang out around Ingram and Dunnachie too.

#210- Smiley- THAT was funny!!!

And technically, it’s Frankenstein’s monster; Frankenstein was the scientist.

Finally able to pirate on some one’s wifi. Been trying all day.

Yay for Fonoti!

Contratulations to the A-Houses! Keep your eyes on the field, cables, vehicle, players, cheerleaders, band, crowd, dancers, coaches, and remember to watch the game if you can.

Kazz . . .

Thank you for the CTC show “transcript”. Well, it might as well have been a transcript! Nice job!!!

Jason . . .

Testing. Grading. Ugh. Turn around time is critical — prompt feedback and reteaching are musts. Way to go!

Hi wafan!

Yes- M/M A-House – watch the game on tv after you get home. Just enjoy the sidelines! Watching the rhythm of dee guys is cool. When Kekoa and I were there, we were able to see them come off the field and immediately start planning and making adjustments for the next series.

Hey Everyone! Can’t wait for Friday night. Ronnie reminded me the game starts at 10 pm PST. Will have the arm warmed up with accurate completions of green bottles. Will there be any broadcast the mainlanders can watch, or are we tuning into Oceanic?

Re: Fires – All is well where I live, but the entire San Fernando Valley was covered in a smog-like smokey haze. Fires are about 10 miles from the house, in a canyon so I’m not worried at all.

Heard from Faye today. She will try and make it to the K-Call Friday night. Now, we need our blog host, “Ferd”, and the Princess there.

Friday the 18th will be a long day – golf tournament at 7 a.m. and partying w/ the Tsaikos well into Saturday morning…lol…

SteveM – I’ve changed my hotel plans from the Venetian to Harrah’s. Harrah’s offered me $350 for Travel Expenses. All I need to do is go to the Total Rewards counter and they give me cash. No receipts needed…

For any Tsaikos still lingering around in Vegas on Sunday, I’m not going back to L.A. until Monday so we can keep celebrating the victory over them darn Rebels. Don’t feel like dealing with Sunday traffic.

Okay, that’s it. Been swamped w/ work….laters gang!

Liz . . .

Greetings! Wow, from a non-interest to a super fan!!!

See you in Las Vegas in two weeks!

Whoo-hoo!!!

Re-The Coaches Show

I know somewhere out there in football land somebody else besides myself that was listening to the show was probably perplexed at one of Coach Mack’s responses.

When Coach Mack asserts his reasons as to hiring Coach Shaw as the O-Line coach basically it’s the same of what we’ve heard before: Coach Shaw coached at one time at a big time program, Minnesota. And would be a nice fit for UH.

If he was wise that should have been the extent of his answer.

But then he goes on and adds that he wanted to go out and find the best available O-Line coach out there, especially he noted one that coached an Outland and Remington winner as he thought it would be beneficial to Estes this year.

There’s no rebuking Coach Mack hiring Coach Shaw.

But if his mindset was to go out and find the best O-Line coach this year then why didn’t he follow his philosophy last year when he hired Smith, who at that time had 1 year (of below par) D-1 coaching? And if he had shopped around he probably could have snagged Coach Shaw his first year instead of being influenced probably into hiring Smith because he had ties to UH.

Wow- hindsight shoulda woulda coulda, huh?

Rich,

I’m glad that you are fine and that the fires haven’t hit your area. I’ve been following the burn area and thought you were okay. I have a lot of friends who live in Pasadena and work in La Canada, and they have been close to the fire and say that the air quality is horrible.

RGM is getting first-team reps at WR now! It sounds like he lost his confidence after dropping some passes when the season began, but he put in extra work and he’s back to his old self.

When the Dreadhead’s confidence failed him after a serious of drops, Buono shrewdly moved Grice-Mullen to returning duties to tap some of that game-turning potential. It’s worked out splendidly.

Now, Buono’s fantasy difference-maker could be ready to make some noise as a wide receiver, judging by the inordinate number of first-team reps he’s getting this week in practice.

“We’ll see when game time comes,” says Grice-Mullen, looking ahead to Friday’s game against Montreal. “I feel good. I feel back to my normal self. I was just in a slump, just like any basketball or baseball player. It does happen. I feel I’m out of it now.”

Weeks of remedial training, working with backup quarterback Travis Lulay after practice and fielding punts from Sean White during practice breaks, seem to have cured him of the dropsies.

“He came up to me and asked if I would stick around for some extra work,” Lulay says. “It was big of Ryan. He knew he wanted to improve. He’s a laid-back, quiet guy. But the desire to really be good is there.”

Study found that this year’s version of the swine flu does not mutate into a “superbug” as had been feared. Instead of combining with other flu strains to create a superbug, the swine flu apparently defeated the other flu strains by infecting the subjects before the other flu strains could.

Researchers made the world’s smallest laser–it can generate visible light in a space smaller than a protein molecule!

New technique for “recycling” hydrogen-containing fuel materials could make hydrogen-based vehicles economically feasible.

Hey Slugger,

I’ll try to get to the video ASAP. I thought the players were such nice young men, respectful and polite. Old Ladies? Yes, Nasti needs just a little more education….I’ll try to look up Sr. Theresa and say Hi.

I forgot to mention I was stuck in bumper to bumper traffic in the Halawa Heights area trying to get to the Tesoro gas station below Aiea HS as my tank was on “E” since Red Hill and I wasn’t moving…

So yeah, I was DOUBLE stressed and irritated at the “callers” and my gas situation… but only one problem was resolved… I got to the gas station in time to refill… One problem remains… still plenny dummies out there.

Oh sure, they can name, the entire starting lineup of the 1976 Green Bay Packers, but yet they can’t even figure out who’s playing in their own “backyards” here in Hawaii… F’N LAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Losers! 😆

Hiya!
Fell asleep.
Woke up.
Nitey nite and Sweet Warrior Dreams!

typos like jsut? but we not talking about remembering the other team’s players names or their stadium names or some type of vocabulary word hes trying to use in a sentence.

we talkin bout our own players, our own recruits and our own practice field.

but yes, get us a winning season and no one will care about that kind of stuff. 3 more days…

This article mentions Alex Dunnachie…someone appears to be exaggerating a little bit on the expected crowd at Aloha Stadium on Friday.

Like 18-year-old former Marcellin College student Alex Dunnachie, from Heidelberg, who only a year ago was playing school footy on Friday afternoons and with the Banyule club on weekends, but who this weekend plays his first college football game for the University of Hawaii at its spectacular Aloha Stadium in front of an expected crowd of 60,000.

Dunnachie has obviously made a quick impression on Hawaii’s coach Chris Tormey. He said: ”He has tremendous ability and I think he’s going to develop into an outstanding player.”

Great Morning All!

High hopes for John Fonoti…and all the Warriors, for that matter!

d1, yes, would you like it?

IS IT FRIDAY YET?!?!?!?!

Good morning Tsaikos, Warriors, and Wahines. Hoooooooo, going be a weekend of fun, fun, fun at UH. I would love to have join the fun for the weekend, but will be in Jake Huen’s country.

bhf2, with you kazz and chawan, no need worry about the cheering, cause you guys going make nuff noise for everyone!!! YEAH!!!!!

letsgowarriors,

I agree with you. And he should be admonished for making that type of mistake. Screwing up with people’s and player’s names and then brushing it off with that raspy laugh is deserving of him being exposed.

I do know without even trying…Coach Mack does a mean…George W. Bush impression. The more I listen to Coach Mack I see this resemblance.

royvic and letsgowarriors maybe it’s just me but who care’s if he gets the name right or even his slip that cost him all the $$$$, all I want the guys to do is win games, win the WAC, win a BcS bowl and then the NC. Now that’s not too much to ask for is it, so coach as far as I am concerned have all the slips you want “just win baby”

letsgowarriors.
royvic (ufunnyman)

okay, truth serum time.

i agree with you two.

but like somebody reminded me the other day right here….
give the guy a mulligan, he deserves it.

an maybe i don’t agree with that one too.
but i do agree that the whole picture includes us here.
so i bite my tongue. an no hammajang da operations.
well, i taut i was bitin my tongue until big bradda wen give me da “shut…” vibes. 😆

agreed, when you drop down dat kine kala, and day asking you fo mowah, show me da money kine action, at least day gotta get yo name right.

Come Friday midnite, hopefully we’ll all be patting each other’s back and thinking, maybe, just maybe. 😀

Just my two cents.

My dad abused to always girble his words, mix up his names and call him’s, her’s and she’s, he and it was embracing at times, but he was still a great dad and great person. He wasn’t a pubic speaker though and I understand there is a big difference in being a father and a mother. Sometimes Jim Leahy frustrates me, but he is “the voice of UH sports”. He has been doing it for a long time and as far as I am concerned, he can do what he does for as long as he wants.

As far as Coach Mack is concerned, I don’t think he is Bush league.

1. “I want to thank the President and the CEO of Constellation Energy, Mayo Shattuck. That’s a pretty cool first name, isn’t it, Mayo. Pass the Mayo. His wife, Molly, appreciated that.”

2. “And so, in my State of the – my State of the Union – or state – my speech to the – nation, whatever you wanna call it, speech to the nation – I asked Americans to give 4,000 years – 4,000 hours over the next – of the rest of your life – of service to America. That’s what I asked. I said 2 – 4,000 hours.”

3.”You bet I cut the taxes at the top. That encourages entrepreneurship. What we Republicans should stand for is growth in the economy. We ought to make the pie higher.”

4.”We got an issue in America. Too many good docs are gettin’ out of business. Too many OB/GYNs aren’t able to practice their – their love with women all across this country.”

5.”There’s an old saying in Tennessee, I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says, fool me once, shame on, shame on you. You fool me, you can’t get fooled again.” (I’m from Texas, and nope, that’s not even close!)

6.”I can press when there needs to be pressed. I can hold hands when there needs to be hold hands.”

7.”Uhh I hear there’s rumors on the, uhh, Internets that we’re gonna have a draft. We’re not going to have a draft. Period.”

8.”Yo, Harper! The President of Nigeria.”

9.”I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.”

10. “There, it’s, you know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror.”

11. “You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.”

12. “As yesterday’s positive report card shows, childrens do learn when standards are high and results are measured.”

13. “The illiteracy level of our children are appalling.”

Football is here and we are going to need all the positive vibes we can get! Let’s fill the stadium and do our part in support!

Go Warriors!
Imua!

Since I can’t make it to the Washington State game, does anyone want my ticket – in the Tsaiko section? Just let me know.

Morin Ronnie, hope all is well in SC.

Aloha Kakahiaka!

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Esme & whoosh….
[Where is that Esme? on FB…]

Have a great day everyone.

esme and woooshhhhh!

And good morning to all!

Go Warriors!

tommui speaking of initials your middle one wouldn’t be L would it??

POMAI: Yes it is “L” but if you threw in the Chinese one, it would also include YM.

My granddaughter has a middle name, a Chinese one and a Hawaiian one and I’m sure when it comes to Baptism, you would need an extra amount of water!

The reason I asked is that my wife was a client of yours years ago, and I just came a crossed all the paper work while cleaning out her desk.

The Bolte’s were a nice n’ neat little family that excepted the gratitude of JD and VH for their really big 2.2 million dollar donation…and quietly disappeared. This very short 15 seconds of fame at half-time during the homecoming game last year was not nearly what I expected.

No wonder we don’t see as many of these sizable donations very often. UH officials don’t know how to show their appreciation for these sizable donations. We don’t even know what it was used for!

Trump it up! Tell the world! Give credence to what they donated for goodness sake! It’s 2.2 bills!…who has that kind of money to give away in this economy?? Auwe UH!

Kekoa,

Maybe UH has stepped into the new millenium…instead of 15 minutes of fame, they’ve stepped it up and made it seconds!
At least the family made it on CCTV in the stadium so folks could see them while they were in line for soda and hotdogs…. 🙄

“I just feel so fortunate, so blessed to have (a senior) season. I’m going all out. I’m gonna bring it ’cause there are only so many guys that get to play Division I football each year. And, I get to represent the state of Hawai’i. I’m one lucky person.”

– Blaze Soares

KEKOA: Re your #319. Jim Donovan went out of his way to visit Mr. Bolte when JD was in Reno – Bolte lives about 1.5 hours away from Reno.

He has physical limitations and somewhat confined to his area and JD took the time to drive down there.

It was a shame that he could not be present at the Homecoming Game when his son/daughter-in-law and grandchildren took the field to present the check.

I’m trying to get UH to honor him in some fashion while he is still around to appreciate it – maybe a soap dispenser or ST’s favorite water fountain?

POMAI – re: 317 – I hope it was OK or should I vanish into my other blog identities?

Once again there’ll be HI-5 recycling drives at the home game T-Gates. The first recipient at the Friday, September 4, game will be the Na Koa Equipment Fund.

The bin(s) will be set out no around 10 am and all the recyclables will be stored during the breakdown before the opening ceremonies at Aloha Stadium. Most of the time, there’ll be additional collections at the post-game parties as well.

Bring eligible bottles and cans in any quantity from home to donate as well as what you’ll be drinking this Friday.

Remember, we’ll pick up quantities in excess of 250 containers anywhere on O`ahu on Saturday provided that arrangements are made no later than the Friday afternoon since we’ll probably have to borrow a truck.

I was told not to set out a donation jar in which to drop your spare change because it will conflict with another drive going on at the same time. Therefore, we’ll make sure that information sheets are available for those of you who want to make a contribution to any of the seven different funddrives or organizations on your own.

ALL of the redemption fees will be made on behalf of the Tsaikos & will be sent to the designated recipients within 48 – 72 hours of each T-Gate. Mahalo in advance for supporting these youth, high school, and UH athletic programs.
