Game Day: Boise State

first?

Welcome, TJ!

Hi, G(China)! Ni hao?

I have to go to bed…Night all! See you tomorrow!

reloading on the D, now how about DT and OT guys

BTW ST…I love your dance and song routine…it sure was tricky

isn’t 4.7 /40 slow for a linebacker? Pisa was 4.5

ralph, i think he projects as a defensive end.

good to see that we are still in the game…recruiting wise.

hmmmm…95 tackles , 5 sacks in 9 gms last year.

here’s a link

So Boise St. is starting only ONE senior?………..

Gee, another fun year for Hawaii on the smurf turf 🙁

If they actually make it to a BCS and win, they might be ranked high enough to shoot for a National Championship. They have a much better SOS next year with Oregon St, Wyoming, Virginia Tech @ Fed-ex Field….O_o

I wonder if any thought was given to rotating 1 or 2 auto-BCS bid every year between the non-BCS conference.

Something like if you win the conference championship and ranked in the top 16 or something you get an automatic BCS berth. 5 non-BCS conferences that would get a shot at a auto-bid every 2-4 years?

Not saying this would make things fair, but I think for the time being that would be kind of cool.

add # 24

you can’t choose the Hawaii Bowl, nor can one of your choices be “play in Hawaii.”

haha.

re: MWC AQ for BCS Bowl Berth and inclusion of Boise St.

“But “unless there is evidence, concrete evidence, that would say this will get you an automatic bid — not just get you closer but get you or guarantee you — I think we’ll just play on with the current nine (MWC schools),” Thompson says. “There’s cohesiveness. There’s balance, four home games and four road.”

“We’ve run all sorts of models. And there’s no model where a 10th member would guarantee us automatic access.””

The current model does NOT include a possible Boise St. in a BCS, winning, and finishing at or around 4 in the nation (highest for any non-BCS school in history)……

The results of those “models” could very easily change at the end of this season………..

I think there is A LOT more on the line this season than just a rebuilding year for Hawaii, a BCS bowl for Boise/Utah some money for the WAC….this season could really be the catalyst for some major changes.

If Boise’s BCS berth etc pan out this season, and granting them admission to the MWC would give them the AQ, its safe to say they are going to be offered. I haven’t seen the numbers if it plays out that way, but I am pretty sure a BSU addition would give the MWC a high enough ranking for an AQ.

With Sen. Hatch who is a senior member threatening legislation, I think if the BCS were to accept MWC conditionally as a auto-qualifier conference, you wouldn’t hear too much about the BCS being unfair. None of the conferences like Conf-USA etc have been competitive in the top-25 rankings. The BCS in order to continue on with business as usual might very well be willing to give into this.

Welcome T.J. Taumatuia!

kinda cold this morning in LV.
Need two pair bibidees for warmth.
Back was cold, first fall/winter with out my sleeping partner and sometime dog Sassy.
Might be time for another Schnauzer puppy

U2 played here last night, 40k in the crowd.
Scores of wheelchairs and walkers and depends, lots of depends

In Sept. I thought a good UNLV team beat a decent UH team.
But neither team has won since then.
UNLV is 2-5 and the head coach would have been fired but UNLV cannot afford to pay his termination fee.
UNLV has a chance today though, they play New Mexico (0-something)
Head coach prospects, send in your aps to the AD.

Going to steam vac the house today.
We watched younger sis’s dog for a week.
Little retarded bag of pee couldn’t find the doggy door or the pee-pad we
set everywhere for her (the dog, not my sister)

We had karaoke at Kiku Hana last Wed nite, about 25-30 singers.
On Nov 6th, another karaoke party at Kiku Hana, group from Hawaii
that calls Genji home will be guests of honor

CRW,

Getting ready to hit the road from McMinnville to Salem for the NWC Game of the Year.

Have a great time at the TsaikoGate erryboddy. Will be thinking of you folks! 🙂

On the positive side, kid is on sked to grad fom UH next summer.
Lucky for the family wallet, it looks like he’ll get his degree in four years.
Sometimes the nut falls very far from the tree…….wonder who his dad is, musta been a smart guy.

Finished the last of Kekoa’s Vienna sausage this week.
Still got some beer but Mrs. LV is working on it.

d1,

At half time, if the boys are down, tell them this

Well, boys … I haven’t a thing to say.
Played a great game…all of you. Great game.
(you try to smile.)
I guess we just can’t expect to win ‘em all.
(d1 pauses and says quietly.)
I’m going to tell you something I’ve kept to myself for years —
None of you ever knew Rasu Begasu.
It was long before your time.
But you know what a tradition he is at Rainbow Drive inn…
(There is gentle, faraway look in his eyes as he recalls the decimated plate lunches.)
And the last thing he said to me — “Shima,” he said –
“sometime, when the team is up against it — and the
breaks are beating the boys — tell them to go out there
with all they got and win just one for the fat man…
(d1’s eyes become misty and his voice is unsteady as he finishes.)
I don’t know where I’ll be then, Shima”, he said – “but
I’ll know about it – and I’ll be happy.”

d1,

Have a good time in Salem!

rasu

you crack me up, mahalo 🙂 i thought DPK was the only humorist on board, haha

Garret,

i think the first series for UH is critical, either on D or O, they gotta establish ownership of playing in ‘their house’. pivotal moment within the first 2 minutes of the game…………

Bulla,
having been laughed at all of my life and especially when I disrobe in front of women, you are able to find humor in most things

rasu,

know what you mean, i tell people all the time, if you’re not laughing enough, put mirrors all over your house and run around naked….if that doesn’t make you laugh, you have no sense of humor.

as the elephant said to the naked man, ‘can you pick up a log with that thing?’

isn’t house values in LV upside down? just curious, as a destination location, we track some demographic information especially with the hotels.

Used to run around naked in the house, not so much fun anymore now that Mrs LV bought curtains.

Bulla,

That’s ok.

I agree with the assessments of both Garret and yourself. Though as of recent it’s been taking Boise some time before they get into the groove of things. We might still be in the game at halftime, but my fear is Boise really starting to pull away in the 3rd Q if UH can’t get anything going or can’t sustain good quality play from the first half.

Anywho, off to run my weekend errands. See you all later.

Bulla,
Values on pre-owned homes have tanked.
My first LV house values 13 years
bought 110,000
5 years 220,000
10 years 298,000
now 154,000
New homes originally selling in the 500k range are down to less than 300k

Garret,
Prob so, but I prefer the offense first.
1. Our “O” is just better than our “D” is right now
2. Better chance os getting a big play to spark the crowd and team

rasu begasu,

I agree with you and I always prefer for the Warriors to get the ball first. But Mac made his policy clear and has been consistent in choosing to start the second half with the ball. At home, with the offense moving the ball this season (I think they are #15 in the country in yards on offense), I’d love for the Warriors to get the ball first and get the crowd excited.

I guess I should hope for BSU to win the toss and for them to choose to not start with the ball. But I cannot cheer for BSU to win anything this game, not even the coin toss!

Good morning Tsaikos everywhere.

woootaahhh!. sounds like a great meet between UH coach and TJ.
hope there is follow throw so the stud don’t bust the line. and we get him and his cousin. Good for us. Yeah!.

Rasu begasu,

you are really funny. laughed so hard i got misty eyed myself. 😀

ST mentioned that BSU has been having problems in the red zone this season. They made it to the red zone 32 times this season and scored 19 TDs. I looked it up and they also have 7 FGs. So, they score 82% of the time in the red zone and score TDs about 60% of the time.

UH scores about 63% of the time in the red zone and scores TDs 37% of the time. So, if ST says that the red zone is BSU’s kryptonite, what is the red zone to UH?

not.

but i can see how peeps taut I was yakkin da whole time and neva stop for 15 5 seconds.

😆

Good luck to Kapolei and their qb Akuna.

the ACTs, there is plenty time to confer with the adviser at that high school to make sure all is in order. spend some time with his school adviser.. let the kid know there is a future if he keeps focus on doing what he’s gotta do. we got someone who can fill that role, and more.

and the best part is, she don’t wanna steal anybody’s job. 😀

Idaho Statesman feature article on how there are a lot of backup QBs playing in college football this season.

One thought drove former Boise State backup quarterback B.J. Rhode to prepare like the starter even though he faced the strong possibility that he wouldn’t play a single meaningful down.

“I had to mentally teach myself that they were going to need me,” he said. “My honest thought was, ‘Be ready, because you don’t want to mess this up for everybody.’ “

The Broncos, who have three healthy quarterbacks, have noticed the trend. Junior Mike Coughlin is the backup to starter Kellen Moore.

“Mike’s seeing that. … Obviously that gives some credibility to a guy being prepared,” offensive coordinator Bryan Harsin said.

Rhode posted a 6-0 record as a starter. He started one game when Ryan Dinwiddie was suspended in 2001 and five games when Dinwiddie broke his ankle in 2002 at Arkansas. Rhode threw 11 touchdown passes and five interceptions in 2002.

“He was completely dialed into what we were doing,” said Boise State coach Chris Petersen, who was the offensive coordinator during Rhode’s cameo.

I just saw a stat that BSU is 5-0 against BYU and Utah. Their record against MWC teams might actually be *better* than their record against WAC teams…

One key thing to note is that BSU’s backup QB has *never* played in a game that was close. If Kellen Moore goes out with injury, the Warrior D might be able to make Coughlin make some mistakes.

Harsin likes the way Coughlin has prepared this year. Still, Coughlin never has come off the bench in an emergency situation so nobody knows how he’ll react.

“We aren’t changing anything when he goes in,” Harsin said. “You just cut ’em loose and let them play.”

Good Morning Kekoa! I second your cheer list.

good morning tsaiko country and warrior fans. kinda gloomy, overcast, no wind type of day. looking good for fball and forecast prediction for a certain horse team. shout out welcome to all the outter island peeps attending big island, kauai, maui and pwn (washington) will be in da house.

remindas; bring ice and aluminum pans (med size).

Good Morning All! Game Day!!! GO WARRIORS!!!

oh sorry forgot to wish da two wildcat team success today and d1/juliette a grand time.

ST,

It would not surprise me if San Diego State doesn’t have a D-IA football team in 5 years or less. Their Athletic Department is bleeding money, they have zero fan support, and their school has had its budget cut so badly that they cannot afford to subsidize the Athletic Department much longer. There have already been a couple of studies going around about whether or not they should drop football.

More importantly, it looks like the Chargers will be leaving San Diego. The City of San Diego has already announced that they will be tearing down the football stadium once the Chargers leave it, since the city is in bankruptcy and they can sell off the land for HUGE money and get the tax revenue from the businesses there to balance their budget. SDSU has no money to build a stadium, they have no big budget donors to help them (the guys with money donate to UC-San Diego) and they don’t even have enough land on their campus to build a couple of new classroom buildings they need.

So, a school with no fan support, no budget, and no real leadership that wants to keep football that will probably have no stadium in 5 years…BSU would be a good replacement for SDSU.

Good Morning Tsaikos!
Ready to witness history when UH beats BSU!

Aloha Kakahiaka!!!

We won’t be there for the first wave of T-gaters; have to stop at Palama Market first. I got the pans from W-Doc. Mah jong set is ready.

High hopes and good luck to our guys on the field today. We know they will be giving 808%

Off to make chow-dah…laters…esme & whoooshhh

duffer….i left you a message.
its been raining and its predicted to be off and on.

raincoats? is homey bringing the budweiser girls to Tgate???? auryte

Tadd shot 76 today and misses out on the 2nd stage at q-school. You heard it here first.

wasn’t there an NCAA minimum attendance requirement for schools to stay in the D1 status. Idaho & others might be in danger, then what will happen to the WAC and how many teams will there be?

I think it’s 15,000 average home game attendance.

…i think the mana is with us today…

It is HUMID.
And HOT.

But soon it will be COOL among the Tsai-ko Ohana again!

Ga Tech won 34-9 b

ST,

THose are all good points, but you cannot dismiss how important Boise’s addition would be if they rank high enough and the addition of BSU would give them an Automatic Qualifying “score” that would allows a BCS auto-invite temporarily.

So for the MWC they want TCU to get into a BCS game and having Boise would possibly be a moot point when it comes to the AQ score. But if TCU doesn’t, Fresno brings absolutely nothing in terms of their ranking to help that score. The MWC isn’t going to add just for the sake of adding someone, MWC commissioner has made that quite clear. I think BYU could live with an uneven schedule for a while IF it meant they were a BCS conference until they could successfully get maybe 2 more teams in to fill the gap and make it 12.

I dont think the AQ score is brought down by other teams in your conference who do not place well (hence Big East still qualifies), so if they wanted to solve the uneven schedule they could bring in 3 teams I guess..Boise, Fresno, maybe Rice/Tulsa?

The MWC has that AQ on their mind and are very very serious about it…all reasons aside, if Boise can get u that AQ score….i think thats all that matters.

Not to be rude, but screw Boise State and the Mountain West. 😉

GO WARRIORS!!!
GO WARRIORS!!!
GO WARRIORS!!!

Utah State may be 1-5, but they lost to Nevada last week by just 3 points.

Today: Utah State 23, La Tech 7
Utah State has 331 yards of offense, La Tech has 132 yards.

I’m glad that the game against Utah State is at Aloha Stadium.

Paul Johnson has a huge A back 6′ 230 lbs. that averaged 9.4 yards and 2 tds in the win. When he started out at Georgia Southern he was a coach on the defense. His head coach and offensive coordinator was looking for an offense to run and liked the wishbone but knew that it would be a tough offense to pass out of so they went to see guess who? They went to see the Houston Gamblers and Mouse Davis and the run and shoot and came up with the idea to move the 2 runningbacks nearer the line of scrimmage and call them A backs. From that formation they figured out ways to run the option and incorporate other offensives into their system including the run and shoot. When their offensive coordinator left Johnson was asked to take over and the rest is history. Johnson has said that the option most people talk about is only a small part of his offense. He said he only uses it 20 percent or less during a game depending what the opponents defense is doing. He also believes that the defenses are so good today that he needs to have a moblile quarterback who can run the ball.

It is good to have someone who can run fast but it is better to have someone who can play fast.

Bye got to go look for my green stuff.

Go Warriors. I’ll be there too!

Labrat,

I think the auto-qualifier score only relates to how many teams and how often those teams get into the top 25 in a conference.

That is why big east can say they still qualify as a bcs conference as west Virginia, s. Florida, cincci have been ranked pretty high in the past few years.

A Boise to the moutaun west given ANOTHER top 10 ranking can do nothing but help The MWC in being qualified as a bcs conference.

Wow, Utah State beat Louisiana Tech! They got a close 23-21 win at home.

Utah State? O’migawd!

What a topsy turvy season in the WAC.

we need a win, don’t matter who the opponent is.

With a more eastern tv market, I like Houston to be added to the MWC vs BSU. I am thinking both will get in when they expand.

Beautiful day at the stadium. I’m so excited. Go Warriors!!!

And TCU has pulled away from BYU.

37-7 Frogs, early 4th Q.

Pomai…

38 – 14 UH….. LOL GO WARRIORS!

Looking at the Nevada – Idaho score, I have to wonder if that is the newest WAC cost cutting measure, by just leaving the defenses at home?

FloridaTed – #151 – 😆 😀

No BS.

Just win.

Go Warriors!

Trying to stay up.

Don’t be surprised if I start nodding off some time in the second half…..it’s been a long day.

…jus did the HAKA….love it.

Time to turn on ESPN360.

I wish ESPN360 would show the UH broadcast…

UH won the toss and Mac deferred again…just like we discussed in today’s blog.

Game time!

Hi Tsaikos & Tsaikettes, Lurkers & Lurkettes!

Had a guud time at the Tsaikogate. Lotsa guud fuud! 🙂

Play hard smart and safe Warriors!

Goooooooooo Warriors!

Really enjoyed seeing the team performing the haka.

Totally unexpected.

Simply AWESOME!

My heart sings!

Did that work for UH? Losing 3 but having a defensive win and the ball back?

dang… what’s with Taylor and Jackson tonight? Mental errors… drop balls, fumbles… bad judgement. Can’t afford that after our Defense made such a solid stand.

THAT was a great throw!

*Tsai*

Uniforms look good although the shoulder sleeves are a little Oregonian. Like the black and dark green.

Blazing!

This is gonna get ugly!!!!!!!

D is keeping us in there.

Moniz out with a concussion

Game over man…. Game over…

Salas with a stupid, stupid mistake

Ok, Shane, do your magic. You got one completion.

tOO Many mistakes…

If Moniz has a concussion and cannot play next week either (once again a Warrior QB has a concussion the game before a road game at Nevada), and Rausch is out of this game, then if Austin gets hurt does that mean Shutter needs to be ready to go in the game?

Pulling Shutter’s redshirt may be unavoidable.

Great play–roll the pocket and deep to Salas!

Wow, Shane Austin came into the game without having much warmup time and is 5-5 passing in his first 5 D-IA passes.

if we get a good rush attack going and continue our stops on d it isnt over

Red zone turnover…sigh.

aiyah

DE FENSE!!! *CLAP CLAP*
DE FENSE!!! *CLAP CLAP*
DE FENSE!!! *CLAP CLAP*

Interesting strategy by BSU. They had their backups in until UH got in the red zone, then they put in their starters and stopped UH.

back to reality :/

If they weren’t so damn tacky, I’d be a Boise fan.

Ok, this is an ass whooping…….. Game over..

BSU has scored 3 TDs…all 3 TDs were after Warrior turnovers.

All right you pr#cks who keep saying game over, uncle or other BS.
Stop posting and crawl back into your holes

Let’s go Warrriiiiooorrrrsss!!!

Maybe try a QB sneak?

ST delete #219. Ban rasu begasu. Attacking other posters not against the rules?

Game over… What about it?

Green Eyes, eat my hairy armpits
You’re an insufferable little weenie
and not a true UH fan

Красиво написано, мне понравилось.

Nani, Ditto

Shane Austin is showing his inexperience in this game. He will learn from these mistakes.

Good stop by the defense there! They haven’t given up and they played great red zone D and stopped BSU after the turnover.

I don’t need to say anything to the sorry souls who post here to taunt the Warriors and other posters. You are truly pathetic. My friend rasu begasu has said it perfectly. Thanks begasu-san!

GO WARRIORS!!!
GO WARRIORS!!!
GO WARRIORS!!!

vballfan1,

Nothing like the Von Appen years. In every game we see flashes of what can be. Defense came up big a number of time in the first half, but the offense just made too many mental errors. The dropped balls, the fumbles, the interceptions. That’s going to let the air out of the Defense each time.

Just when you get one half of the team going, something happens on the other. BUT injuries like these aren’t what caused the poor performance during the Von Appen years.

I know it, you know it.

This UH team is lacking talent, speed and understanding of the playbook.

We will not win tonite, If you are a true UH fan, look beyond that.

Go Warriors!

predictable. DPK coming to the rescue

what did i say to have regasu say what he said towards me that was so bad?

O shot itself in the feet.

D doing a credible job.

#246 you said it all

yup turnovers killing us. It’s a bummer to because our D came to play. But with our QB situation in chaos, this is going to be nothing more than a rebuilding type year. It happened during JJ’s tenure and it will happen again. Look for the positives this year and let’s see what this coaching staff can do in their 3rd year. By then their Mack’s recruiting strategy should be showing the fruits of their efforts. Then I will judge his worthiness as our head coach. Until then…..

GO WARRIORS!!!

this is the first time I’ve heard the BSU tv crew, they seem to be the best that i’ve heard in the WAC.
as for K5, Pops cracks me up with with his repeated gaffes and outdated glasses, Russell needs to blow his nose.

UH is 0-5 in 3rd down conversions in this game…cannot extend drives without 3rd down execution. At least 2 of the 3rd downs were 3rd-and-1.

Congrats to Kenny Niumatalolo 6-2 and Paul Johnson 7-1 on great wins today. Great achievements thus far in their 2nd year as head coach with their respective teams. Triple Option – what and adoptable and manageable system to run.

Garret I agree not a rebuilding year this year. More like a demolition year.
Next year is rebuilding, we lose tons of seniors.

As one who enjoys Warrior Green Kool-aid, this year is going to provide a lot of information and experience for our young Warriors. Next year, though, looks to be very promising!

Go Warriors!

U dont want to know..

34-0 Boise – middle of the 3rd quarter

I’d glad that Pettis didn’t catch that TD pass…I don’t want to see the shaka a third time.

rasu begasu,

I agree with you, and I agreed with you about that before the game. However, as long as Mac is UH’s head coach UH will choose to take the ball in the 3rd quarter.

Julie,
in this cae “tripping”

Way ta go Javonte!

Great return by Taylor! All the way to the 49…hopefully UH can score on this drive.

LOL

d1shima,

37-0, and it could be worse by UH stopped BSU 3 times in the red zone.

Moniz is out with a concussion or something.

Austin threw 2 TDs including one in the red zone.

Salas had 2 fumbles, LWJ fumbled in his first touch of the game, and UH just lost another fumble.

44-0…and Titus Young did his third straight shaka TD celebration. Each time he made it more blatant and he finally got a penalty on it.

Coach Mac……………………………………….ugh

postmanke,

New OL in 2010, new WRs in 2011. I think that it is easier to replace WRs than OL, especially because some younger players like Billy Ray will still be around well past 2011.

postmanke: I personally am a believer in recruiting JC players, however Mac is bringing in WAY too many I feel like. Look how that worked out for Kansas State….not so well.

UH already has several receiver commits, including the two local slot receivers (I think both are 5’8″, so they probably aren’t wideouts).

Instead of recruiting JC WRs, I’d prefer a LOT more DL and OL high school recruits.

Garret, UH needs to keep it”s local talent at home. Hawaii generates the best football players ever, UH needs to get them, somehow….

Garret: Exactly. We need high school recruits, guys that will be at UH for all 4 years. That way, unlike the JC players, more of a bond is made and team chemistry is more easily attainable.

UH decides to go for it on 4th-and-goal…and gets a delay of game?

we scored!

rasu begasu Says:
October 24th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
Mac looks confused on the side line, eyes wide, mouth open.

First smart thing you said all day and night.

points are points
Banzai!

UH gets some points in the 3rd quarter! BSU’s center had so many bad snaps it is amazing to me…that center has personally stopped BSU a couple of times this season.

that should be “stopped BSU a couple of times this game”.

wafan,

It is only 59-2.

Nani,
that was an observation, neither smart or dumb
you may one day try and learn about the little subtleties
in the English language

Garret . . .

Thanks. Better than that darn 0!

wafan,

Yes, but I’d really like the offense to score in the 3rd quarter.

That was a really bad throw by Austin…that was a very easy INT with 2 defenders between Avery and the ball.

UHFan808,

Too tired to go back thru all the posts….how come you not at the game?

“If the shoe fits, wear it” that should read.

So we’re in a not so guud fb year.

And our island keeds tinking of leaving to play with our opponents.

If we as fans constantly keep cutting down the team and coaches, who is next to us hearing everything?

Our keeds of course.

We want more of them to play for our team?

We gotta walk the talk as fans and give them the dream of the potential team ours could be if they stayed to play.

But then therez the question of edumacation.

Anyways jus what I tinking whilst posting while sitting in our Aloha Stadium.

Rasu.. I may not be as smart as you so maybe you can teach me… Let’s start with investment properties.. How many should I purchase and when?

You know it’s bad when Hawaii fans leave

You know it’s really really bad when Boise fans leave…..:-(

What’s the worse WAC home loss in history, could this be it?

UHFan, why would your kids want to play for a team who doesn’t get national exposure?

I love UH, but we need something to draw in the talent. Like June Jones, he might have been paid, but he did bring the talent.

We need something like that… An investment that makes our kids want to play for UH, and not for USC or Oregon…

What’s up with no-aloha security hassling BHF2 about his “RESPECT” banner?

I like that Boise pulls any player that makes a personal foul and benches them for the rest of the game.

Hawaii should do the same.

Nani,
We can start with my 3 condos at 620 Sheridan St and the house on Pepeeko St. in H Kai.
Oh and 1/3 interest in my dad’s home.
Did I mention that I retired at 45.

Litmus test for Akamai people, “Never believe everything you read on a blog”

Yay!

For wafan, I’m updating the 3rd quarter scoring stat:

3rd quarter scoring this season:
UH 0, Idaho 7
UH 0, Fresno State 14
UH 0, La Tech 14
UH 0, UNLV 7
UH 0, Washington State 7
UH 2, BSU 10

Total is now 59-2 against D-IA competition.

So, the trend goes like this:
2006: +106
2007: +14
2008: -56
2009: -57 (59-2 over 6 games)

Give credit where it’s due, OTs are holding up very well this game
lateral movement on outside rushes is great and the arms are fully extended.
they are also picking up the bull rushes and the odd lb blitz

Garret I think they are working the reps with the backup center. I am sure coach is not happy with both of them

Should put all our second and third team players in. Give them some game experience.

Long day, I’ve heard enuf….

…don’t even want to listen to the game anymore either!

Oyasumina-tsai…

Oh, try wait.

Pomai,

You know what to do right? 😉

I just checked out BSU’s depth chart and it looks like BSU has one center that is a sophomore who didn’t start before and the other center is a freshman. I guess one of those inexperienced guys will figure out how to snap properly and will have the starting job for 2+ seasons.

Garret, do you think we need a coaching change?

UHFan, yes, maybe we need Kevin Costner to come out and level Ewa Beach and build a stadium…. LOL…

This was a great game sorta,
OTs played best game all season
OGs were pretty solid too.
Estes will at least get a cup of coffee on sundays
Austin, though not getting snaps in practice, knows the playbook

I will tell you the single most biggest thing a recruit, local or not will ask or weigh in when deciding on a school – will I be coached by the coaches for all 4 years? So dont be surprised everyone if Mac get’s a contract extension sometime next year. Dont flip out! it’s a recruiting ploy by the athletic dept to make it seem like the coach will be there for more than 4 years.

The back end of the contract usually has a silly buyout amount just incase things dont workout.

Pains me to say it, but:

It wouldn’t surprise me if the turnstile attendance for the next home game (Utah State[?]) dips into the low 20,000’s, especially given the relatively large contingent of bandwagoners as well as some disgruntled season ticket holders who might be looking to dump them or sell them off to someone else.

Nonetheless, it still wouldn’t be as bad as, say, Eastern Michigan, who only managed 1,200 people (in a 30,000 seat stadium) for their game against Ball State today.

Garret . . .

Thanks for the 3rd quarter data update. I knew it was somewhere around 60-0 at the beginning of this game. But it might as well have been 500-0 the way the defense has been so porous.

This game the defense came seemingly loaded for bear and got shot by their own offensive errors. Too bad and very frustrating!

Garret, thanks for the info… I don’t believe it is actually a player issue, I know that we have great guys playing their hearts out.

I believe that the play calling, and how the players are making mental mistakes like taking the ball out of the endzone after fumbling the ball, is all about the coach.

I like Greg… Maybe we give him a chance?

Good night!

It was a game.

It was not pretty.

The sun will rise tomorrow.

The high side is people won lots of money and can go do some stimulus spending hahaha

We got smoked, plain and simple.

BUT, it was so good seeing everyone at Tsaiko gate, truly, a great time. Maui, Kauai Tsaikos were there……awesome time together. Mahalo Aunty Liz for the pule, perfect 🙂

Boo birds are out…….as we expected.

GO WARRIORS
GO WILDCATS (X2)

Things could be worse. One UCLA player complained about a UCLA coach (Norm Chow) to a high school player UCLA is recruiting…and used a racial epithet about Norm Chow.

A Twitter message sent by UCLA freshman Randall Carroll to a top high school recruit complained about Bruins offensive coordinator Norm Chow and referred to him with a racial epithet.

The post, from the account of OCiAM, dated Oct. 22, referred to the Bruins’ last three games before Saturday and read, “man oregon, stanford and cal should have been easy wins ,, but [expletive] thys [racial slur] norm chow dnt be trustin us ,, so it is what it is.”

Re: 366

I would hold BSU coach Peterson totally accountable for the loss. He came with very talented, hungry team that threw the play book at us!

Post game notes from UH’s website.

GARRET: I hope the kids get well soon and some parents should be castrated.

I should say.. following the 2005, 6, and 7 seasons.

Garret

Keep those kids drugged. 105 .8 is crazy high. Double up tylenol & advil every four to five hours. Don’t mess around with those kind temps. Make sure you keep them hydrated too. Good luck.

At least I was close. Thought Boise would win 59-13 and score actually ended 54-9. You have to believe your eyes. Hawaii is just a bad football team. The truth hurts. Watching the game it seemed Coach Mac looked lost as if he felt what happened. He had no clue. I saw Rolovich’s face and he looked exasperated. Some observations:
1) Boise St. coaches outcoached us again…big time. The discipline, execution, play calling, etc. They are very, very well prepared. Coaches are taught to go for the arms and strip the ball from the ball carrier. We could see this many times during the replays on the fumbles. Hawaii calls time out on 4 and 1 to figure out a play to go for the first down. They decide to punt. What is that? I shake my head. When Boise St. players screw up they take them out right away the very next play and the coaches give them an ear full. When Hawaii players make a mistake they let the players play on as if to say “that’s okay, we get em the next play.”
2) The punting is….just say….I won’t say it.
3) What gets me is why Funaki is not playing QB. This is a guy who is mature, has had experience, is a Senior, and on scholarship. I feel real sorry for Inoke. He’s a team player, but I just think as a senior he had been put under the bus and that’s what I don’t like. This guy has given this program so much and he deserves more respect than the coaches are getting him. There’s a reason why Austin is a walk-on.
4) The Boise reserve freshman running back, Kaiserman, carries the ball 11 consecutive times until he gets into the end zone for a touchdown, adding insult to injury to our defense, again.
5) As bad is our defense is, our offense, or lack of our offense, contributes to our defense getting worse, because we just can’t put the ball into the end zone. The main problem is that our QB is not goot enough. There is nobody like a Colt Brenna who is that accurate and completes passing TD at a high rate, nobody.
6) The bad thing is the program will suffer from diminishing attendance at the gate. The faithful will still be there, but the faithful are clearly frustrated. It is hard to take when we experienced the good times in recent football seasons.
7) We have definitely taken a big step backward and in jeopardy of not winning a conference game this year, meaning last place. This is embarrassing for a once proud program. Alas, we are not alone. Teams like Illinois, New Mexico, even San Jose, Wash. St. are suffering.
8) Now comes Nevada next week. Yikes!!!! It will be very ugly. I predict Nevada will get close to 1000 yards of total offense again Hawaii. Final Score prediction: Nevada 84 Hawaii 10. Still, we will watch the game to its conclusion because it is our team. No matter what, we hope they can win in our mind. That’s in our heart. The head says otherwise.

It was ugly! No excuses, and the University(and boosters) are paying 1.2 million a year for that. Yikes.

UH is genuis for scheduling Charleston Southern next year at home, 4th game of the season following USC, Army (road) and Colorado (road).
That should break up the losing streak and save McCrapens okole from infamy….looking forward to 2013…. and the next great hope.

What got me peeved the most was how the heck can Boise bring in their 3rd and even 4th string offense in and run the SAME PLAYS UP THE MIDDLE when we stack the box and still manage that last touchdown? I think Peterson was just trying to run out the clock but if we give them the yards his players are going to take it.

I mean you put 7 or 8 guys in the box and you cannot manage to hold the run UP THE MIDDLE? Albeit this has been a sore spot for almost every single game this season. The offensive line blocked and pushed almost as effectively as the 1st string.

I know our defense is young and I am frustrated but what is it that the 3rd and 4th string has over our starting defense when it comes to that basic play? Boise is a real good football team, but are their backups that awesome? I am not as knowledgeable in football as many of guys on here ( i can admit that easily) so what is it that was going wrong?

For all those that won money off UH’s problems, I hope you use it to pay your bills that are probably past due as a result of your continued losses in Vegas or your other gambling debts.

People with past due loans or bills shouldn’t be using that money to go to Vegas.

Thanks for the financial tip Kazz…..

Kazz,

For purely entertainment purposes I was a winner tonight. Off course I want Hawaii to win, but whenever you do play for purely entertainment purposes you have to read the writing on the wall and use the head not heart.

And although you may think that gamblers might be in debt and losers etc..I am happy to say that my family enjoys the thrill of Vegas quite often (as many Hawaii people do) and they are all very financially secure. We see it as a form of entertainment, only wager what you can afford to lose. So I wouldn’t say ALL people who played this game are degenerates =P. hahaha

When Peterson was calling off the dogs (4th Q) and we still saw Moore playing. Apparently Coughlin (the back up) got a concussion on the play he was in on and they didnt want to use up Southwicks redshirt.

IWWTHE don’t forget, Lingle and the legislature is taxing all of your winnings, gross, not net, you don’t get to write off losses. LOL I know you are an honest guy, if you paid taxes for all of your family winnings then we have one less furlough day.

Garret,

I hope you’ve taken Mika to the ER. I had the swine flu & my Dr. didn’t prescribe Tamiflu, even though I went in just after 24 hrs. My symptoms lasted a bit over two weeks without it. Please get Mika to the ER, especially with that high of a fever. My fever kept coming back for a week.

RE: tonight’s GAME:

It’s only a GAME. This loss is not as bad as having someone you know die. The team feels way more frustrated and disappointed in this game than you do. I’ll keep supporting these kids/young men/my homies.

GO WARRIORS!!!

How far have we sunk in a year and a half!
From the Sugar Bowl to a bottom feeder.
From the perfect season to an embarrassing, Von Appen nightmare.
From a hard hitting defense to a marshmallow pushover.
From defensive speed on the outside to dust eating chasers.
From a crisp run and shoot to a confused, directionless semblance of an attack.
From red zone equals TD to red zone equals confusion and uncertainty.
From a twelve play two minute offense to a six play exercise in futility.
From physical superiority to pushovers.
From exploiting the opponent’s weaknesses to simply running what we think we can do.
From foresight and anticipation to mental lapses.

Reasons for our downfall, there are many and most of them are correct.

Solutions. They must come from the top.

With all the injuries, the assistant coaching shake ups etc, I am looking at this season as one to get the next year class and their backups game ready.

I have no shame to admit this year will end on a bad note and we may find even winning 1 more game difficult. But you know at this point in the season it can’t be helped…even if Bill Belichick were to come coach us. I will look towards the future.

I am all for giving the future players some game time to ready them for our “turn-around year” next year, but also more importantly to give their backups some snaps because we are so injury prone.

I want to be able to judge Mack next season the most honest way possible where things such as a first time starters, a backup, or inexperienced player etc wont be AS MUCH of a factor as it has been this year.

There is HOPE! I Believe! Go Warriors!

ST,

I thought I heard McMacking saying on the 1420 post game interview that Austin hasn’t been getting reps in practice but at least in today’s game he did…

Do you know the reason why Austin hasn’t been getting a fair amount of reps seeing that he is our “second string” backup which usually get a fair amount of reps?

Great Morning All!

Garret,

I hope you have already taken your daughter for medical help. Hoping for the best for her.

wafan,

Yes, the sun has, in fact arisen yet again.

Packing up and heading home today.

🙂

GO WARRIORS!!!
GO WILCATS X 2!

Good morning Tsaikos.

Tough loss. Boise may get a rude awakening this afternoon since TCU should pass them in the BCS poll.

Hard to tell if the sun is actually up with all of the cloud cover. But today is a lot less dark than last night!

Whoo-hoo!!!

Go Warriors!

“Блог в ридер однозначно”

Stop blaming Injuries ( every team goes through them) and when the backups perform up to task you never hear about them.
Stop blaming the previous coachs recruiting. Is it JJ’s fault that we are starting walk ons over Scholarship players????
We have alot of junior college scholarship players who are benchwarmers. That’s just the current coaches recruiting mistakes in my opinion. Junior college recruits should all make immediate impacts because you only get them for two years.

The problem with the Warriors is not a lack of talent in my opinion.
It is a lack of motivation, discipline and game adjustments from the coaching staff. UC Davis gave Boise a bigger fight ( on the road) than the Warriors did. There is no way UC Davis has more talent than the Warriors.

The coaches need to really earn their Paychecks the rest of the way, so far they are not.

this is a blog, and a blog is where one can voice an opinion.
you don’t like it, don’t read it.

my heart was on uh to win, but my wallet was on boise.

how about we have dave shoji coach football or be assistant of some sort. different sport but hey, his style of coaching seems to have a great win record. it doesn’t matter who plays for him (incoming freshmen or veteran senior), he still wins or have a great record each season.

if hawaii had a proffesional team, all the good local bruddahs would stay home.

uh football is like a wave or spurt, good season, bad season.
i getting sea sick.

common wannabes either we got it or we don’t.
uh fans, glad you have another hobby.

thank god i did not have season tix.

i just look forward to drinking on uh gameday, better than watch them lose. i can predict each game from this day forward.

thanks for listening.
no cry!

It can happen to the best……I watched the Alabama/Tennesse game and the Florida/MSU games yesterday and the offenses struggled to put points on the board; defenses showed the way.

Florida most of all is not the Forida of the past several years…..which just to show what happens when a program loses just but a few key players. Texas might be the only one who can generate points with consistancy in the top five teams.

So far, the verbal commits for 2010 has got me anxcious for the future of our Warrior program, which includes many of our 2009 recruits in the mix.

Sorry to hear about the injury to Moniz….I’ve suffered my share of Concussions and know the feeling; get well Mr. Moniz, my prayers are with your recovery and safe keeping.

Wow! lau lau…..this is a chanllenging time for the entire team indeed; hang in there men cause it can only make you guys better players to stand up to the challenge’s ahead. GO WARRIORS!!!

football is just entertainment.
no cry!

boise us #4, UH is not top 10, do the math.

#428- by the end of the game, I’d say the defense was pretty tired.

#163 Garret
ESPN 360 did show the game on the mainland,
45 second delay using mainland announcers

pay for Oceanic and you get Leahy

locally, ESPN 360 not available with Oceanic cable subscribers

our son thought it was worth paying for Oceanic to get the local broadcast and shorter time delay

Aloha Kakahiaka!!!

It’s a new day. Annodah way.

Esme & whoosh….

Good Morning Tsai-kos!

Good to be at the t-gate. Just got home…..bbl

I had a little time to go online now that everybody else is resting so I did the quotes from the game. The players sounded positive and the coaches did their best to point out all of the positives from the game.

I’m impressed with that freshman RB for BSU who had 122 yards and a TD last night. The most impressive thing to me was that he never gave up despite all the things he had to go through to play and that he was prepared to play in the game despite never carrying the football in a college game and not playing a game for nearly 3 years!

BSU pulled their starter Avery pretty early in the game. Their second string RB made the trip but was injured. Their third string RB missed the trip due to a death in the family. So, the freshman ended up playing a LOT.

It is especially impressive that he was prepared to play when you consider that his concussion problem made him sit out the first half of the season and even made him miss a good part of fall camp. This was after sitting out two years due to a grayshirt and a redshirt. He couldn’t even practice for so long and was buried in the depth chart but he still go himself ready to play this week.

Many of the backups for the Warriors will need to play during the second half of the season. They might not have gotten many practice reps thus far this season and might not have gotten a chance to play in many games, but they need to prepare themselves like that RB. Every non senior on the team will spend the rest of this season auditioning for spots on the depth chart for next year, hopefully giving their all in every practice and every game rep.

no cry!:

this is a blog, and a blog

You’re right. Thanks for speaking up.

Want’s noticeable is that even the professionals are teeing off.

So I agree state your opinions, too.

Listening to 1420 and RK analysts after Boise scored a touchdown against UH defense. He said something like this, “This is D-1 football, not hopscotch.”

That’s true.

In the other paper the columnists wrote something like this, in jest, “The WAC commissioner, who was in attendance, should have stopped the game.” And goes on to say, “If this were a boxing match it wouldn’t never had been sanctioned.”

That’s true, too.

Personally, I think UH would probably lose to the Weber and Portland State football teams. That is how far backwards this team is going. In fact I would welcome switching the game w/USC in next year’s opener with a team that UH can be competitive with, like a D-2 opponent.

I think the reason people are venting are similarly reminiscent of movie and restaurant goers when they read reviews stating how great the movie or cuisine is and it turns out in being a flop.

I mean if someone says they make the best cake in town and it turns out in being the worst cake in town there is going to be an unfavorable reaction.

Before the season started the coaches, including Coach Mack, were circulating these observations about this team–the wide receivers are the fastest (if not the greatest UH has ever had), the offensive line is one of the best, team speed is the fastest UH has ever had, special teams will be aggressive, and get this the punter should be the greatest UH has ever had.

…and we’re not seeing this…and…

Before the season started, prematurely, the coaches elevated and exalted the players. Some of his players it seemed Coach Mack anointed as being the best he’s seen at any level, including the punter.

Along the way Coach Mack characterized this team as a very special group. Team chemistry and leadership was great he often said.

So after all this buildup and windup by Coach Mack before the season started you believed the team would be performing at a higher level.

You expected in seeing a well oiled machine. And it’s been a let down that we haven’t.What we’re seeing instead is big plume of white smoke coming out of the exhaust pipes.

Coach Mack’s over glorification of his players, team and coaches are probably the reasons as to why people are venting venomously when what he professed isn’t what the fans are seeing on the field.

The boo birds, fans leaving the games early and the malcontent of some of the fans are all reactionary impulses directed solely at Coach Mack’s head coaching internship and his over glorification of his team.

The Advertiser website and the Hawaii Athletics website both have Billy Ray Stutzmann returning a kick in yesterday’s game. Did he really play yesterday? If he did, they just burned his redshirt. I guess it gets him ready to make a bigger impact next year, but why only now? Why wasn’t he in playing receiver where game time experience will really help him?

labrat on # 372,

If we’re talking about the same play (fake punt?), I smelled a rat (no pun intended) too. I saw UH put 2 punt-returners back there & said to myself: why would they set themselves that way when they’re vulnerable to the fake punt…bingo! In that case, I would have to say unfortunately that our own coaches set THEMSELVES up for that one.

I have to give credit to Boise State for sheer execution. They deserve their ranking. Unfortunately for them & the WAC the way the BCS computer rankings are engineered, the deck is stacked against them.They will gradually fall (in the rankings) because the remainder of the schedule as opposed to Cincinatti & TCU will not give them opportunities to rise. Even if for the remainder of the year, all of the poorly-performing members of the WAC (including our team) wre to shift gears & win out, it wouldn’t be enough. They really need some help in someone either upsetting those 2 teams, or someone closing the deal on a couple of the marquis teams (Alabama, Florida, LSU, Texas, etc.

I really wanted (last week) for Florida, Alabama & LSU to go down in flames- – to their credit, they pulled it out as they did this week. Just imagine a different landscape where Cincinatti & Boise were # 2 and # 3.
Would have had the BCS folks in a tizzy. I understand BYU wimped out as well?

koakane and others,

Great job on the tailgate! It was my first, but certainly not my last. Great food, great company, great discussion! It’s a real shame it wasn’t a great game, too.

Garret,

Totally agree with the need to put in reserves to get experience & see what they can do, esp when the game was out of hand. Incidentally, hope your keiki get well expeditiously.

класс)мне понра)особенно!

hey mana lolotai finally got his first defensive tackle of the season last night, plus he had another tackle on special teams. he must have seen film of richard torres.
