MANEO !!!

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.

Hmmm..ST’s Super Dooper Pooper Scooper?
That has a nice ‘flow’ to it!

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?

After gaining cult-hero status as a rookie, Brennan was eager to challenge longtime No. 2 quarterback Todd Collins for the position as Jason Campbell’s primary backup. But the supposed competition never unfolded because Collins continued to be a steady veteran and Brennan struggled throughout the preseason.

As the Redskins prepare to play their final preseason game Thursday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Brennan is in a fight with rookie quarterback Chase Daniel to retain the No. 3 job he held last season. The swagger Brennan displayed before camp and preseason has been replaced by outward humility, which has been a refreshing change to some in the organization who thought the kid used to be way too arrogant for someone who had accomplished, well, nothing.

“It’s tough,” he said. “Obviously, you’re right, this isn’t where I thought I would be. But that’s football sometimes. Right now, I just have to realize the situation I’m in. When I look back, I’m not embarrassed. I’m not bummed out about my play at all. No matter what happens, I’m going to be able to take away a lot. I got a chance to play against the [New England] Patriots’ No. 1 defense and moved the ball. I’ve gotten a lot out of this preseason. Maybe the end results or the stats are not what I wanted. But everything I’ve wanted to gain through this preseason I’ve gained. No matter what happens, I know I’ll be able to learn from this, grow and progress as an NFL quarterback.

“I’ve got nothing to be ashamed of. I could sat there and made excuses up. I could have sat there and pointed the finger and tried to take some of the blame off me. I didn’t. I took it all in stride. … I think part of being a quarterback in the NFL is going through adversity and how you handle that. And I’ve shown anything this preseason, is that I can handle adversity pretty well and not really get discouraged by not having success. I’ve battled back and I have one more chance to battle back this Thursday.”

“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.”

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…. 🙄
