Tuesday's practice

Whoa..1st again? The earth must have fallen out of orbit.

Rego did good this past week.
I hope Blaze is coming along with his injury, though.

Now I feel compelled to do three posts in a row.

Great Morning All!

No doubt that these Warriors leave big parts of their lives out on the field (practice and game).

Howzit A-sports. Sorry if this breaks your “string”.

I think Kekoa was watching things in case jm2375 tries to come back and make kolohe

All those “-itis” ailments means that something is swelling; generally a reaction to aggravation of that part of the body that is not healthy. 🙁

…and on that cheery note.

Hopefully, Stephen can post some good news from practice today.

’til then…
Have a great day Erryboddy!

HiHo…..

Howzit early birdies!…Yups…I was up all night with my trap set for both jm2375 & Esme. Only problem is, I ended up eating all the t-gate leftovers. Yum!

Also, I was just thinking, jeez I wish I had some of Aunty Tita’s “Apple Crumb Supah Doopah Poopah Scoopah Cake of the Universe.”

good morning everyone,

that was a sad moment to have the hometown fans booing their team before the half, that was directed more at the coaches I hope.

snowbeast and company are back in america, missing home, but getting ready for their next battle.

mahalo again for all of your kind words and support for ‘the beast’ and his local team mates, you guys are awesome.

at the end of the game, when the boys came to get their hugs and their leis, the beast looked up at me with a smile so big from ear to ear, ‘…dad, did I do good? did I do good dad?…’ he asked in what sounded like a voice from when he was 12 years old, but now entrapped in a young man’s body.

‘son, i told you to leave no doubt….leave no doubt to anyone who can see this game who #95 Ryan ‘The Beast’ Eastman is….job well done my son, well done my son…….i am so very proud of you….’ i told him and gave him a big hug!

cost of 40 seats in North End Zone $$$$$
cost of 60 shirts with The Beast $$$$$
cost of 85 leis for their departure $$$$$
post game smile from The Beast PRICELESS

now lets get ready to go get some oregonians this saturday!

GO WARRIORS!!!!

Aloha Kakahiaka!

Yeah!!! Go Warriors!! Aieee! Yaaaaaah!!!!
De-fense- de-fense!!!
Aiyah!

silence
silence

Yahooo! Go Tyler! Go Warriors… aieeeeeee!!!!!

That’s how I remember the game.

HIHO & yes, I packed the tickets this time!

Asports,

with all the excitement, i was unable to sample your concoction….i’ll trade you li hing mui midori margaritas for your creation….if Ajoe says it’s ok, need Big Daddy’s ok on this one……but let me know. i could go for that right now, not the margaritas, the cake 🙂

Good morning to the Tsai-ko Nation!!

Kekoa and Pops, I hope you both recovered from being drenched on Saturday night. Hope Pops didn’t catch a cold. It’s harder to fight these pesky infections when you get older. I can attest to that. I was thrilled to see him enjoying himself. Kudos to both you and Diana for all your love and support for him.

Thanks to all for another outstanding tailgate. As usual we could have fed an army or two. Outstanding food, and company.

i hope the O line makes some adjustments, Oregon is going to be a lot more to handle than a few maniacal Wildcats.

D line made some plays, Watson and Veikune are NUTZ, but they need to rotate fresh legs in to maintain that intensity. Meatoga should be more than able to hold his own, along with Tufaga. Fresh legs keeps the intensity at a high level while giving the Big Dogs some much needed rest.

just my 2 sense

Hmmm…should I douse the cake with special sauce, brandy etc. Nah, I rather have your awesome margaritas. I gotta have it at night when it’s cooler. Or you guys will be calling the ambulance. Sun + alcohol = Asports on the ground.

Okay really gotta hiho.

ST,

In your article about the Aussie commit, Billy Ray Stutzmann is listed as from Punahou.

the real reason why Tyler Graunke was not with the team.

Some funny stuff…

http://www.freakcrazy.com

ST,

if what expat says is true, there might be a bounty on your head issued from the st louis alumni clubhouse…….i know it was an honest mistake….but they do play each other this saturday, and this will help fuel the fire!

just kidding, even Einstein made a mistake……

Remember how Reagan and Grigsby were battling it out for the starting FB spot for Miami? Now, BOTH have been cut by Miami.

Boomer Grigsby beat out incumbent Reagan Mauia for the team’s fullback job, but couldn’t hold it more than one week into the regular season.

Grigsby, signed this offseason from Kansas City, confirmed early Tuesday morning that the Dolphins waived him Monday.

Scout reports that the Dolphins signed FB Casey Cramer to fill Grigsby’s roster spot. Cramer, a 6-2, 250 pound fullback, has played in 27 games over four seasons with Carolina and Tennessee, mostly as a special teams player.

Miami’s coach says that Bess will get to return more kicks and punts after he did so well on Sunday.

On using Davone Bess on returns instead of Ted Ginn)

“I just told you what I see in him. I see him able to make guys miss and break tackles. If you can make a guy miss and break tackles then I think you got a chance. Davone’s done that the last couple times he’s had opportunities to return the ball and he’s going to do it a lot more.”

Funny how Ginn was a top-10 draft pick in 2007 because he was supposed to be an elite returner and Bess has been doing better than him in preseason and their first game.

Davone Bess has the potential to be a decent, if not good returner. But wasn’t reason No. 1 for selecting Ted Ginn Jr. in the first round of the 2007 draft because he’s going to be one of the NFL’s elite returners?

Samson got sharply criticized after their first game.

Samson Satele was eaten up by Kris Jenkins on running downs. While I’m sure Jenkins, and all 350 pounds of him, will eat up a lot of centers this season, Satele better show improvement against Arizona’s 3-4 scheme. The Cardinals front line features Bryan Robinson as the nose tackle. Considering I had to look up Bryan Robinson (even though he played one season as a starter for the Dolphins) Satele better step it up or Allen Allerman’s going to be getting a call up.

Allerman told me last week he’s only spent three weeks total as a center, but the Dolphins need someone who is going to hold their ground against decent nose tackles. Satele gave up the first sack of the game when the Jets blitzed seven and Satele picked up the wrong man to block.

Looks like the stats show that the new rules have resulted in significantly less plays this season so far.

In 2007, the average game had 143.43 plays. Thus far in 2008, the average is 134.61 plays. That breaks down to a loss of 8.82 plays a game. Last week the number was 8.7.

Here is an update from the Blog Bowl Fantasy Football League.
In week 1, Pauoa Boy, Jason, Jason’s friend, J, and Homey were the winners, while gorg, checkraze, hawaiiroller, hawaiianbod and I were on the short end of the stick. Pauoa Boy scored the league high this week. Homey got lucky this week, winning, despite scoring the 2nd lowest point total overall.

Right on, Ralph! Like a true Tiger and Warrior! 🙂

Jason: So, I went to the Ka Leo building yesterday for a meeting and I totally forgot to mention your idea. Oops! Gomen ne. I’ll get moving on it.

Time for me to get to work, see everyone later….

And how about Lelie…!!!

Hiya myki & sj-macro!

Oh boy did we get soaked!…Nothing a cup of ‘mein and hot coffee couldn’t fix tho. Actually we were all dried out by the end of the game.

We also got our ears pulled and scoldings from Diana when she came to pick us up. Ponchos are on the game checklist now.

Caller called in jez now on BC show praising Ryan’s play. BC says you know he’s short, but looks like he could’ve play here. Caller says he was one that should have played here. BC agrees!

bulla,

That post was inspirational. 🙂

Fiddy Sixt!

Hiya DPK and everyone else!

Good Morning to my Tsaiko family!

Gotta Esme outta here and get to working. I’ll check back with you later today. Hope everyone has a great day!

Heard the caller on BC show talking about the Beast. Had to smile knowing that he had all those Aunties and Uncles watching him even if BC wasn’t.

Hiya Wob! 🙂

morning tsai-ko country how yu’all getting along? nice hot day again so do da drill hit it to some ac place.

ajoe sorry for just leaving da blog last night but was getting sleepy and no energy to respond but late hi ya guy.

au’wryte blf2 go get um you da man on dis situation. and no get me wrong on da team I love dem. I see so much potential that has not come forth yet. I envision one, two or maybe four games when they turn it on and everything just click together. they are not quite there yet but when it does it will be a beauty to watch.

agree with st comments on boooing. fans need to keep it in check these are young adults trying to be student/athletics, they put it all out everyday in practice and then again on the field. minor auwee’s in da long run become major irritations. eh people dey playing for US the Hawaiian bruddah’s, sistah’s, aunty’s, unc’s, maddah and faddah’s. they need cheering more when tings not going our way not only when doing good. so lighten up and support ……nuff now

whoops got to go now, one gallon of kope den I go esme whooooooooooosh.

*DPK cheers koakane for his comments on booing the team. Mr. Tsai is right.* 🙂

by the way I may be wrong. Rego may actually be bigger than Ilaoa, but body proportions may make Illoa look bigger. Rego looked really good.

Have been away from the blog for awhile. Trying to get caught up on some of the topics and I think I am on the wrong blog after reading about MIL*s and BBWs. I thought this was a family blog.

I missed seeing the game on Saturday. This was probably the only game that I was going to get the chance to see in person this year. The stadium box office gave us a full refund. Instead I spent four days as part of the grim search for four of our own after the tragic Coast Guard helicopter crash last week. My unit just happened to be moored in Honolulu harbor at the time of the incident and we were one of the initial responders. The entire Coast Guard in Hawaii has been affected by this tragedy. I have done the same type of training with that very helicopter and some of the crew in the past. I worry about the feelings that will come rushing back to our crew the next time we do training with a helicopter. Rest assured though that the Coast Guard is doing a superb job of debriefing and providing support to those directly affected by this tragedy. Well, I got to get to work for one of those debriefings. If any of you know a Coast Guardsman, take some time to offer them some support and give them a hug.

The booing at halftime was clearly because the warriors ran out the clock and not because of their performance.

I don’t think they intentionally ran out the clock. It appears that Funaki was suffering from the concussion and couldn’t understand what Rolo was trying to signal in. Rolo then just raised his arms in exasperation and gave up.

saw blaze lifting at 24 on the windward side. shoulder pressing a ton of weight (I guess his shoulder is okay) but the way he was walking I don’t see him coming back soon but I’ll cross my fingers.

oahu resident,

I was wondering about that possibility, especially after hearing at halftime that Inoke could have suffered a concussion. However, if I remember correctly the coaches did *not* call a timeout when it was 4th down for Weber State, so Weber State was able to let the clock run down before they punted. That could not be blamed on Inoke or anyone on the offense because the offense wasn’t on the field yet!

Headline for an AP article on the Advertiser’s website:

Agent: Titans QB Steve Young was at friend’s house

I think that the AP and the Advertiser could fix the headline, as the article itself has the correct name. Steve Young never played for the Titans and retired quite some time ago…they meant to write “Vince”.

Bulla i thought your son played a ok first half but the second half he was getting pushed around i can say that because you talk so much about him i was watching him.If you ask me hes a good d2 player right now but with with more playing time i think he could be a realy awsome one. The only part i didn’t like was that he was happy after the game no reason to be that happy they got man handled in the second half thats nothing to be happy about.To be a winner you can’t settle for playing a good first half a game is 4 qtrs not 2.

That’s why it was a shame when some booed the team at the end of first half. If they only knew the sacrifice and commitment many of the players make to just get through a practice.

AGAIN, ST MAKES IT ABUNDANTLY CLEAR TO THOSE THAT APPARENTLY DO NOT “GET IT”.

to XxFaithxX

I used streamtvnow.tv to view florida game but could get the Weber game to stream even after I paid the 5 euros. So beware of streamtvnow.tv. I lost about 7 US dollars and ended up using the Oceanic Stream. Streamtvnow is a gamble. Yes so like yourself I’ll be looking around to see if there is some stream available. Yes free is good but I’m willing to pay up to 20 bucks to watch a good quality stream online.

saints – To put things in perspective, Bulla’s son is a true freshman playing his first collegiate game against a D1 team that happens to be in his home state and playing in front of his family and friends. What is there not to be happy about?

Sure you see that he was pushed around but he more than held his own in my opinion. He came away with 5 tackles with 1 for a 4 yard loss.

I’m not saying this because I’m a friend of Bulla but because of a father/son relationship that is special. Every parent would cherish a moment when a child comes up to them with a huge smile and a twinkle in their eyes asking if they did good.

As in any sport, it’s the little things that’s special even if your team is getting manhandled or pummeled…the first baseball hit, the first catch, the first soccer goal, the first basket, just playing the game…

Why dwell on the negatives in someone’s special moments. That’s the job of the coaches. They’ll look over the game film and make corrections as needed.

BTW, welcome to the blog!

Not far away anymore

I was touched by your post at #70. My Pops spent 28 years flying and servicing helo’s and fixed wing AC for the AF. Before the Coast Guard was given the global Rescue mission, dad flew with the 76th Air Rescue Sq. out of Hickam from the late forties until just after 1961. The H-34 model helo was his fave, and the last one he flew was the CH-54C model when it first came out of the Sikorski plant in Stamford Conn. in 1964. I believe your outfit is flying the same nomenclature, different model number today.

They were the only thing in the air back in the day. No police and fire helicopters at the time. So you can imagine how much flight time they logged responding to land & sea rescue missions. They also used the SA16 Sea Planes and C-54 observation aircraft in their search missions in island waters.

Dad moved on to fixed wing (C-130) as the mission in SE Asia demanded more of the workhorse cargo planes that is still utilized today. Since I was already operating in-country, they kept him next door in Thailand because in those days no two family members could be in the ‘Nam at the same time.

So yes, I can identify with you and your crew members in the sacrifices you make to serve in this critical arena. Many man hours spent away from your family. Many holidays and weekends that are given in the service to our country. Dad missed many of my ball games during his service, and now…we are making up for lost time by attending the UH games together.

Thank you for your service.

(Kekoa is stepping away from the podium, and retreating back into the shadows)

Saints,

I thought Ryan Eastman did well in his first game against a D1opponent as a true freshman. I agree with Homey’s post above. Think positive!

XxFaithxX – Just come to Ige’s on Saturday! More like a restaurant than a bar. 😆

ooh, pho? I love pho.

Good Morning Tsaikos,

A beautiful day in Hawaii Nei.

Have a good day everybody!

GO WARRIORS!

jojo – maybe you can bring that to the SJS t-gate!

XxFaithxX – Tombo Ahi usually lists the ways to follow the game on his blog: http://uhfootball.blogspot.com/

I agree with Homey, though, meet the Tsaikos at Ige’s. You’ll feel like you’re with family!

Pho? Ohh one of my faves. On King St, kinda opposite Sushi king, South King Pho. Get the lrg bowl and some spring rolls + beef satay …broke da mouth.

That one in China town is over rated imho.

Homey

Re: post 86

Dats why u my hero! So sensitive! 🙂

saints – did you think think that Bulla’s son thought he had a bad game? Maybe he thought he played well and that’s why he was happy. The outcome of the game wasn’t determined by Bulla’s son.

If your son or daughter came up to you with a proud smile on their face asking you if they thought they did good would you tell them to wipe that smile of your face all because they lost and got pushed around. While in fact in their minds they played a very good game?

I’m just saying that we as parents should live in their moment and share in their happiness. Let the coaches do the teaching while we do the supporting.

Let’s not be the type of parents that scold their kids for every little bad thing they do on the ride home from the game or practice. Let’s be the one’s to encourage them to be better the next day.

I’m sure Bulla had many talks with his son through his formative years and by the way Bulla writes about his son you can tell the talks were supportive, encouraging and filled with tough love.

homey,
Fire for effect.

d1 – there goes the elbows and shoulders!

lol if bulla son is happy because he had a good game and the rest of the team didn’t then I WOULDN’T WANT HIM ON MY TEAM WE WIN AND LOSE AS A TEAM and if thats what you guys think is ok WOW.

RGM just signed a contract to play in the CFL.

The B.C. Lions have new two receivers – import Ryan Grice-Mullen and Canadian O’Neil Wilson – at practice Tuesday as the Canadian Football League team returns to the field following a two-day break.

Grice-Mullen, who doesn’t turn 22 until Friday, passed up his senior year with the University of Hawaii and declared for the 2008 NFL draft. When he wasn’t selected, the 5-11, 183-pound receiver signed a free agent contract with the Houston Texans. Later, he was in the camp of the Chicago Bears before being released last month.

Two UH commits were mentioned in this Long Beach Press-Telegram article.

Gahr’s Corey Nielsen, who has committed to the University of Hawaii, is one of Southern California’s best quarterbacks.

And a big reason, as was demonstrated during the Gladiators’ 33-30 victory at Millikan Friday night, is that he is throwing to an exceptional collection of receivers, led by Aaron Bradley (wow, he is really, really good) and Deondre Powell.

hey all,

late morning post. i’m 22yrs old and can’t keep up with you folks!!!

Niners lost on Sunday so the weekend was bitter sweet. I was searching for live streams of the game on Saturday and didn’t know that Oceanic streams!!!

OSU will be tough this week, seeing as how they got it handed to them in Happy Valley. Hopefully the boys hang tough and pull one out for the “lowly” WAC!!!

All I’m saying is, there’s a different perspective we share. I’m positive Ryan doesn’t want to lose just as much as his teammates do. The games was over, move on. One snap and clear.

Good afternoon, Tsaiko-Nation and Tsai-Meister.

So true about Rego, it does seem to be there’s one like that every year. He brought flashes of Nasti Nate.

St, good reminder to the “Pro” crowd to ease up on our boys.

GGma,

I’m also on the East Coast, Florida, Clearwater and have Bright House Net Work as my digital provider. I just bought a 10 channel sports package for $3.99 a month, which includes Fox Sports West and a bunch of other regional networks. I’m watching the Warriors live on Saturday. Check with your provider, they may have packages like that.

I feel so much better for this Saturday, not just because Graunke redeemed himself, but the entire team seems to have become more like one again, with the old fire returning. Now, hopefully, they’re ready to get back to the very effective believe system from last year.

Cant wait for Saturday.

duffer ,homey let me ask you this would you be happy if you played a ok game and you guys lost .

poor2176 lol ok i’ll listen to somebody who never played and if you played lets just say hello bench warmer.

This for bulla how does it fell to have a family member talked about in a bad way on this blog this is for beef and clubbing.

I learned a phrase from other places on the internet a few months ago.

I should try to adhere to it as much as I can and today is like practice.

“DON’T FEED THE TROLLS”

poor2176 wow dam high school football im sorry lol

saints,

Welcome to the blog.
Look forward to your comments on the next topic.

the only reason i said anything is because of what bulla said about one of my family on this blog.

poor2176 lol wow what a come back good luck with that client you’ll need it and make up your own come backs please .

Well, saints,

I was wondering how long it would take you to show your true colors. Well, you’ve won, you’ve sucked us into your little troll and flamer world. I’m pushing the ignore button.

i am so lost right now. this has gone to happy times with father and son to complete flame fest!!!

radopps he said that one of my family members who is a part of UH being a punk i think he should keep the comments about football like i did and not about off field things.

Also, I’m still hoping against hope that one day Colt and at least one or two of the Fab Four can play for the same team. I hope Colt gets to bug Zorn every day about how fast RGM is and how clutch J Riv is…

well was he being a punk? did other people also say that?

in any case from reading the comments you started ragging on everyone when they disagreed with you. just pointing that out.

How can J. Riv not get a chance. stupid NFL management guys can’t stop thinking Hawaii is a gimmick?

BowsForever ~ Yeah! For Colt to have either JR or RGM to throw to would be awesome! Hmmm…we gotta plant that seed in the ‘Skins blog, and let it simmer. Maybe the fans can start the chant for their services.

FloridaTed,

probably there is still too many people out there that don’t want the shorter receiver or the one that doesn’t have the burner speed. plus its not like Leile has done much since leaving UH.

hopefully Bess can do his magic and maybe the Redskins WR’s can screw up more and they bring in J. Riv!!!

KAZZ – let’s just keep repeating your mantra…mahalo!

radopps i dind’t rage i just disagreed with them just like they did with me i did go after poor2176 but that was my bad i didn’t know he played highschool football.

KonaGirl – we can agree to disagree, right? Apologies if I misunderstood post #154.

Garret,

good points. its amazing to think that Hawaii’s #4 is still on an NFL roster.

Travis Laboy played well…too bad it was against my Niners!!!

the Lions defense was horrible…that is all you can really say!!!

and sadly Vince Manuwai is out for the season with an injury!!!

Garret – Hm, I thought J Riv and RGM had recovered during their respective training camps. Well I’m sure RGM will make his case, it’s our homegrown WR I’m worried about. Anyone know what pro leagues are looking at him right now?

Kazz,

saints has already exposed his/her agenda by saying that he/she is upset at Bulla and is taking out the anger towards Bulla by attacking an 18-year-old who played in his second college game and had 5 tackles.

Bowsforever,

I don’t get it…. I never indicated that people should leave the “blog forever” if “they don’t get it”.

Glad you are a Na Koa supporter, glad you never booed the team in any situation.

Obviously my comment wasn’t directed towards you.

BowsForever,

I read the Houston Chronicle and their blogs every day for news on the Texans while RGM was with the Texans. And I saw a LOT of mentions about how RGM had to sit out practices due to his hamstring injury. RGM came back early from his injury to try to earn a roster spot–but I don’t think he was fully recovered, I think he was rushing his recovery because sitting out would have doomed his chances.

I search all the time for news on Jason Rivers. I haven’t seen anything lately, and what I read when he was with Tennessee never convinced me that he was healthy. If Rivers is healthy, this next week is the key for him because this is when CFL teams can expand their rosters. If he isn’t picked up by next week, he probably won’t have a shot at earning playing time in the CFL this season.

BowsForever,

I agree completely about your post #167.

Got to get back to work now…but I’ll search around for stuff again tonight.

Why do fans boo? I hate people who boo their own team! To all booers: please leave your boos for bad calls by the refs. No make ladat just support the team!!! Go Warriors

lilmonkey,

i only boo refs!!!

ask anyone that used to sit by me during Campbell football games!!!

Moving on…

let’s start a poll…

Are PAC10 officials “salivating” over this weeks OSU vs UH game for the reason that their trigger-happy-unsportsmanlike-flag-throwing abilities will have a chance to shine???

UH 31
OSU 17

Garret ~ Thanks for the WR info. I’m just dreaming out loud! If given a chance to put players on an NFL team together, it would have been those guys. There must be plenty of NFL QB’s and their receivers who dream of doing the same thing, huh?

Speaking of Lelie, I guess the good news is that he’s already up to about one-third of his total yardage from last season. The bad news is that the Raiders don’t look so great. 🙁

Kazz,

Let’s start another poll.

Are the UH coaches reminding their players about it? 😉

Saints ~ I didn’t say you said anything bad, I just wanted to point out some things for you to consider. We all have our points to ponder. Sometimes we do it off the blog and at our Tsaiko gatherings. It’s all good. If you are on island join us at the next t-gate, we all check our guns at the door!

Hey everybody!!!, I got a beef…but I forget about what, and against whom?????…bwaaaahahaha!!! GoWarriors, beat OSU.

Bwaaaaahahaha!!!

saints,
If you have a problem with Bulla saying something about a relative, you should talk about that with Bulla.

Leave Ryan out of it, he’s a true freshman playing his first college games.

I thought he was one of many Weber St. kids who played great games. I was very proud of the local and poly kids I saw in the game for Weber. I’m proud of Ryan as well, and I agree with you that he will be a great player in time. I thought the kid he split time with was an awesome specimen in his own right, and Ryan did a great job in rotation.

I wish you had a chance to get to know Ryan. I have rarely met a genuinely nicer young man. It’s also really nice to see the very strong and loving relationship he has with his Dad.

Best of luck to the Saints in this year’s ILH race. Between them, Punahou and Kamehameha it should be a real battle.

Aloha to you, saints.

saints – *extends hand* It’s all “G”. I’ll buy you a drink one day. 🙂

This isn’t a complaint at all…but does anybody else miss having a big, fun personality amongst the Warrior coaching staff? You know, like a Glanville or McKnight? Nothing against Coach Mack, Cal, Ron, or Rolo — who get the most of the interview time, but I kind of miss reading/hearing hilarious quotes (intended or not) from the coaches. I wonder if Aranda or Malloe have some good one-liners in waiting if given the chance?

okay.. back to lurking.. everybody.. enjoy your day.. week.. come Saturday.. cheer loud so the whole island reverberates and echos off the Corvalis stadium walls.

KonaGirl,

I hang out quite often on the Redskins sites, the rumblings are quite loud. 80% think that Campbell doesn’t have it for the WC offense Zorn wants to run and are calling for Colt. Even the Coach, in so many words, stated that Campbell doesn’t fire the ball fast enough and doesn’t go through his progressions. But they’ll probably stick with him for awhile, hopefully they won’t throw Colt in there too soon, want them to use up Collins first, lol.

Saints- Who is this relative being dissed? From St Louis? From UH?
Is he/she coach or football player? What was said? If you cannot back
up anything, then you have no case.

808flowmaster – That’s why we miss the Princess’ videos. The players did and said some funny stuff! Does Gerke talk?

BTW, how’s the man-made waves? Caught any of the real stuff this past few days? Nice south swell to lead us right into the winter swells!

radopps – If you stop by at Ige’s, just look for the 2 guys that look like the Geico cavemen, James and Hawaiianbod. We’ll be around them. 😆

Whoa. Who broke my blog?

Homey 🙂

Howdy McTruck!
…and all.
Let’s get down the real things.
Safety.
Mctruck, East Texas is battening down for Hurricane Ike.
Hoping all is well on your end.

ST-
When will the Techies learn to leave things along and just get a reliable server?

Saints,

do i know you? i don’t know what comments you’re referring to, but my email is 808bulla at gmail.com for the most part i try to be positive and supportive for all student athletes, because i know how difficult it is to be a student athlete.

i apologize for offending you if i have, but contact me so we can discuss this.

being that you post as ‘saints’, if you are a Crusader, then you should know how to reach me, but email me anytime.

if you are a Crusader, you can ask many of the parents how to reach me including Stutzmann, Sua, Andres, Sai, White, Higgins, Kim, Coach Kalima, Coach Lacaden, Coach Hao, Coach Kauka, Coach Shimabukuro, or any of the trainers.

i look forward to hearing from you. and once again, I am sorry if i offended you but I can’t recall meeting anyone called ‘saints’.

Maverick and McTruck in da hale along with MIH. Feels like da good old days… 🙂

ST try holding down the Shift Key and pressing F5. See if that helps.

on another note,

Weber State is still a Division 1 school in the FCS division, formerly known as Div 1AA. with the lack of adequate funding, they are unable to provide the minimum required programs in their athletic department to garner the Div 1A status, so they are a Div 1AA.

they are not a Division 2 school, for clarity’s sake.

ST…
OOps I meant.. hold down the Ctrl key and press F5.

Sorry.

If anyone’s interested on why al’s not posting, he’s been on Maui since yesterday…..

homey,
i’m going to pick up your ukulele t-shirt tonight.

Hopefully the Warrior DB’s are up for the challenge because I can see OSU airing it out against them.

Duffer – did i miss your long johns at the t-gate? I was looking forward to sampling it.

duffer – I’m not interested. 😆

Hawaiianbod,

No, those have a filling which could have spoiled. I didn’t have a cooler to bring it over and didn’t want to take a chance. Next time, I’ll be better prepared.

Duffer – did i miss your long johns at the t-gate? I was looking forward to sampling it.

😯
WTF happened after I left???

Bulla- your boy (and all the other boys) played good. Saints is only worried about the end score and not the lessons learned in between kickoff and pau game.
Saints- please point out exactly what you think Bulla said that offended you on this blog. I don’t remember seeing anything. If you cannot, then you have no credibility.
Me and my crew will be loaded up for the next Tsaikogate!

bulla like i said i think your son is going to be awsome he just young i just didn’t like that he was happy after the loss and thats my own opinion then they said i was saying bad things about him im not going to say what you said because if thats how you fell then thats your opinion but i don’t think i said anything bad about your son i kept it to football your comment was about off field issue which i think was in poor taste on your part.This is a small island and when you say things people belive what they want remeber theres two sides to every story and i doubt you was there when it happned.Ref it was n’t on this topic i read it after looking back at the others blog topic. Bulla i belive your a great dad but you were wrong saying that about another 18 year old kid.

H-bod – Thanks for the offer, I have a ride. Anyway, Wreck would advise you not take me home… 😆

Duffer – no worries.

btw, when is Whitey coming back with boat-load of salmon?

Homey,
Maybe H-bod get vinyl upholstery and floor covering.

heheheh

Hawaiianbod – got you down. And those weren’t chicken wings DPK brought..they were pidgeon wings from the slopes of Punchbowl…MWAHAHAHHAAHHA

MadeinHawaii – Come by Ige’s a bunch of us will be there cheering on the Warriors in Corvalis.

d1 – Do you work on Saturday???

On that note….Just a reminder.

The TV Gate for the next away game, which will be broadcast at 10:00 a.m., has been scheduled. So, for all you local fans who are not able to join Stretch and his merry band on the road to Corvalis, here are the details:

UH vs. OSU
Saturday, September 13, 2008
10:00 a.m.

Ige’s Restaurant and 19th Puka
98-761 Oihana Pl
Aiea, HI 96701
(808) 486-3500

They will open at 9:30 a.m. I will get there a little earlier because they do not take reservations no matter how big your party is. I would appreciate it if a couple people could get there early as well so we can save a big enough area for all who are attending.

According to Ige’s, they will serve some breakfast stuff, but will have mostly lunch and pupus. It is also being sponsored by Bud Light so I am assuming Bud Light girls will be there and they may have some specials (KK, that’s right up your alley). There will also be a contest for the Ultimate Warrior Fan. Per Ige’s, “Three lucky winners will receive tickets for the 2009 UH vs. UNLV game. The theme is the Ultimate Warrior Fan so come dressed to impress and unleash your inner Ultimate Warrior.” Not sure what that’s all about but I’ll put it out there.

Anyway, if you plan on coming to the event, please RSVP me at jgo8464822@aol.com so that we can save enough seats. People are always welcomed to just stop by but it would be good if we had a rough estimate of the number attending so that enough room can be made.

Also, you can check Steve M’s website for details.

Thanks.

Okay, Esme

d1 – no, but the trunk is big enough for homey. :smle:

btw, when is #2 son’s first game and are you and the mrs going? Please keep us Uncles and Aunties updated.

Garret – does the TV have to be on for the Slingbox to transmit?

Mahalo James!

How come Elliot Purcel isn’t the number 2 DE anymore?

Hi Ronnie!

I love your pre-game meal (i.e. sushi and champagne). Where do you get the sushi from? How’s the quality?

H-bod,
Thanks for asking.
First game is on the road to Abilene, TX this week but with a roster of 142, it’s not likely that any Freshmen will be going. They are traveling with under 60.
I plan on going to the Boise game and then back to Portland when they are playing on that Saturday. He was told that they will usually take everyone for that game.

ronnie,

i’ll answer for garret. no, your tv doesn’t have to be on. just be forewarned that you are controlling the cablebox. and if someone is home watching that box, both of you will see what the other is doing.

H-Bod… It is fine if you take Homey home… Don’t listen to the guy.

Just make sure you roll up the windows and lock them. Blast the AC and watch the road… 🙂

Wreck – 😆 Still busy this Saturday?

btw, when is Whitey coming back with boat-load of salmon?

Well seeing that he didn’t catch any on his last trip, I’m not too optimistic on this trip either. Should be sometime this week. He doesn’t answer his cell.

H-bod – be forewarned, keep your eyes on the road and don’t pay attention if I so happen to make unworldly sounds and go into my Linda Blair impersonations. 😈

anybody home?

jm2375/Ronnie – Got any info on the okie defense? Seems like the guys don’t know.

Thanks chawan_cut.

I was thinking of getting a slingbox for my parents, but I’m not sure…

(Jesse)James,

Thanks, but unfortunately, the wifey works at 3:30 pm in Kaneohe on Saturday. When she works, I’m always on standby just in case a sizeable request comes in and she needs me to come up with a quote for koa frame, liner, filet, stretching and printing.

Just a thought….

McMackin returns to his home state of Oregon, where he was raised (Springfield), earned his college degree (Southern Oregon) and started his coaching career (Aloha High School).

Wouldn’t it be funny if this game this weekend nets us some prized recruits out of Oregon? Take that Cavanaugh!

I’ll see about Saturday… I might show up… I need to take a break, might swing some stuff around

Ok, time to make dinner..

homey, I’ll post my explanation of the Okie Defense when I get back 😉

Ronnie,

They have a sushi combo with 8 pieces of sushi, a cali roll and a spicy tuna roll. Three meals for the price of one!

3 meals?!? That’s not very Tsaiko-like.

Ronnie – sounds yummmmmmy!

coming to any home game? you would love the t-gate. so much fuud and the other four F’s.

i’m trying for the Fresno game. gotta check out my old stomping grounds. would be good to party w/yo Rob25, Pauoa Boy, Rich, Brew, et al. YEEHAA!!!

Howzit everybody,

What was going on earlier. Had small kine beef or what. How this braddah saints can come on here and think he can dis one of our own. Anywas I not even going get into it cause look like everything is pono.

Eh was that Wreck I see. Everybody been asking where you stay. I tell them I don’t know cause never hang for long time to. But here you stay.

k-den gotta get back to work.

WRECK!!! 🙂

I almost nevah WreckinEyez you, it’s been so long. 😉 Good to see you back, braddah.

curveball…what’s MIA??? Mwahahahahahaha That will only happen if you hang around Koakane…but if Koa-Mahu comes by, KK might be MIA….

Eh, Koa-Mahu…where you stay???

mih – come on down. The game should be over by 1:30 pm. IF CAN, CAN. IF NO CAN, STILL CAN.

Garret – I thought the okie defense originally had 4 DB’s? I suppose there are variations to the theme.

jm2375, thanks for the info on Lia’s son. Will be great to see him and Mana Lolotai on the same field on Saturday. Their dads were a great combination for Pac-5 in the late 70’s. One was the QB the other the WR. They were actually interchangeable and swapped positions in the middle of the season. Both were very good ball players.

Ronnie,

If you parents get a Slingbox, you can watch all of the K5 games!

Hawaiianbod – I hope you can make it to the Fresno game. Do you need a ticket?

Garret – ok, gotcha, I was focusing on the original 5-2 okie defense.

Article on Dan Kelly:

Sounds like it’s just some mental/mechanics things he needs to sort out.

Looks like the blog numbers are off.

A House,

IS IT SATURDAY YET???!!!!

I hope not since I am still on Oahu. I better be somewhere in Oregon on Saturday.

Stretch,

You got my text?

Did Ginlack get hurt on Saturday?

BHF2 ~ Here’s my submission for your new Bananah:

1st draw one pitcha of Aunty Liz holding one giant slippah, and da caption reads:

“Ka POW Ski – Sadowski!”

Hah?…whatchu tink?

Stretch:
The way the blog has gone today we might not want to bring up the practice field trees again..we might piss somebody off 🙂

Eh what the heck happen to the blog. Can not even read what I typing. Everything so small.

Stretch:

I need to read slower.

I thought someone went pee pee underneath the trees at the practice field.

I reiterate what Kazz was asking; do we have a Punter coming in?? I truly
hope whomever it is is a lot better than Tim Grasso who’s been an utter disappointment. I said he “sucked” last year, but the staff has said he dealt with injuries last year & that he’s in good shape & not injured. Can he only “boom” a punt when he’s at mid-field (and so it nets about a 30 yard punt)??
And then if he’s in his own end-zone or punting at the 5 or 10 yard line, he likes to slice it it off his foot, thus giving the opponents field position on the UH side of the field?? I hope people now appreciate & give someone like Matt McBriar his due, even if he wasn’t always consistent. He’s now playing in the Pros. Nothing I’ve seen so far indicates Grasso will even have a try-out. I’d love for him to make me eat my words–please make it the OSU game! I’m not going to hold my breath, though.

Kazz,

I thought you were going to say something like…

Punters.. .

They are like social security in the game of life.
If you gotta depend on them to get ahead, you simply planned your game wrong.

madeinhawaii:
punters…
if you got to depend on them you simply screwed up 3rd and 5

madeinhawaii:

wahahahahahaa…..

reminder… Call the Coach.. starts in 17 mins.. on 1420…

Is it just my computer or is this blog all goofed up tonight..

Call the Coach up next.
(click on da name)

madeinhawaii:
that worked….thanks

Psst…howzit errybolleh

Sup Hawaiianbod, I know you stay making plans for go Fresno Puppies game right?

Aunty Ronnie what day you guys planning on driving up to Fresno?

Jesse Williams

Sheesh 6’5 310lbs DLineman…holy chit! Nice size for the DLine…hope this guy can develop into a monstah. Plus he only 17yrs old which means he still growing and developing and can already bench 440lbs. WOW! Welcome to the Warrior Ohana!

Ashley Lelie – Hope you can be the go to receiver in Oakland. Need to help Jamarcus Russell as much as possible and bring back some life to the Raidahz…

Travis Laboy – Could possibly make the Pro-Bowl soon, stay tuned…

Colt Brennan – Jason Campbell keep playing laddat and we’ll see you starting very soon…can’t wait!

Davone Bess – I envision you becoming the man in Miami and moving up the depth chart…#2 WR alongside Ginn Jr. Glad you’re getting to return more punts, remember just go full blast no hesitate, hit the hole and go, go, go!

I kind of miss going to practices in the morning…… I mean, getting the reports from ST daily. Pretty soon I’ll be back.

Speaking of Call the Coach, I’m not 100% convinced by Coach Mack’s explanation of the end of the first half, but I’ll give the coaching staff the benefit of the doubt. If things are looking strange out there at the end of the first half next time, take the timeout, see what’s going on, especially if your QB might have a few marbles missing. Nothing to lose, and you can always have a backup QB take knees to run out the half.

akchally,

we cannot take coach Mack at his word all da time. sumtimes he in da spinzone. cannot blame him. i would be in da spinzone if da score was 56-10.

but da bugga is a gamester. he means us well. his coaches trust and respect him. the players trust and respect him. especially da Lee bruddaz respect him and he respects them and is giving them the big time opportunity. and he’s developing Miano. you can see that plain as day.

I respect Coach Mack big time!! Takes guts and a sincere inner belief system to do Graunke like he did Graunke. Good for us we get da big Mack combo.

Go Warriors!!!

Sounds like Huen and Panos will redshirt this year

What kind of kaukau was it? Was MeiLing right?

Yummy!

This LA Times article is mainly about how the Pac-10 coaches are unhappy with the call that the Pac-10 refs made in the UW-BYU game, but it does have some info on a future UH opponent. It definitely seems like the Washington State game is winnable.

Washington State Coach Paul Wulff doesn’t want fans to harbor false illusions about the challenge of rebuilding a fallen program.

“We’ve just got a lot of things we can’t execute correctly . . . consistently . . . whatsoever,” the first-year coach said.

The Cougars started the season with one-sided losses to Oklahoma State and Cal. Against the Golden Bears, they had a field-goal attempt carom off an offensive player and get scooped up for a touchdown return.

Things might get a little easier with Baylor and Portland State up next, but then comes a tough conference schedule.

“We can get back on track and be a very successful program,” Wulff said. “But the reality is, it’s going to take some time. That’s just the way it works.”

Considering the game is in Hawaii, I’d say that UH would be favored by a fair margin if the odds were placed right now.

OSU is lookin death in the face this Saturday so they’ll come ready to play. They’re 0-2, then there is us, then USC, then Utah who beat Michigan. They’ll play really hard. Our coaches know this. This will be a really great game. Sure wish I could go and watch da braddaz work dat Beaver. Bradda Graunke is not a midget, he’s a gamester!!! I’m projektin him to rip da tailz offa da buggaz frum green valley. 😯

Go Warriors!!!

Graunke,

no foget, do your homework too!
no foolin around. school first! you betta be writin your stuff for school while you cruizin on da plane.
one paragraph at a time, bradda. take your time, but put da pen on da paypah!

you wanna know why, bradda Graunke?

da team NEEDs you! Warrior Nation needs you!
We like you play in da bowl game. vision, bradda, vision, look ahead!!!

Go Warriors!!!

The Beav:
you guys are going to love our linebackers……..

Saints,

howzit. had to tink a really long time, so i can try fo get da message right.

we all get our bad days. if i wuz Bulla and my kid Ryan neva get da offah frum UH, where boat Ryan an da parent wuz hopin he wuz going get, an my boy played like he did last Saturday against UH, and his name was gettin blasted on da speakers da amount of times he did, if wuz me, I would be one supah dupah happy Bulla, no foolin. an if I wuz Ryan, i would be lookin for approval from my pops, because the truth was Ryan and Bulla was making memories. you, me, da rest of us, we was just background noise, that moment after the game, that wuz their private moment. imho we were very fortunate to have bulla share dat one wit us. So Thank You Bulla for that! Really!

And if there is more stuff from the past, and there prolly is sum stuff from da past cuz we all get stuff from da past, den I’m hoping you guyz go talk about it and kiss an make up cuz life is really short, you only get dis one, and it goes by too quick. i’m hoping that you go confront Bulla man to man, in front of us if you like, cuz I get hope dat Bulla is man enough to know if he was a putz an wen disrespek you and/or your kid. dat was a no no.

just so you know, you neva back down so you get my respek, but you should know in your heart that there are peeps here who no scared scrap, for demselves or for odda Tsaikos. I like help out all da odda guyz who share da common goal of making a Great Warrior Nation. if you tink you dat kine guy, den come join da fuud and buuuz tastahz at da 9/27 Tgate or dis coming weekend. i don’t know if i coming dis weekend, but definitely da 9/27 game.

Peace.

Ronnie – yes, i would need a ticket but not 100 percent sure i can go. Would know more or less next weekend.

Howzit PB! Trying my best to make it happen. Would be nawtz!

Chawan- Always amazing. Mahalo for all that you do!

With the left side of the O line in a state of flux, expect OSU to game plan to take advantage of that. In ’06, they were the most successful in confusing the blocking assignments with their blitzs. They had the most sacks and applied the most pressure on Colt than any other team that season.
Ron Lee is surely working overtime to counter what he thinks OSU is preparing to do. Pilares and Wright-Jackson will have to run hard that’s a given. Equally important is they’re the last line of protection for the QB. They must make the right read and execute their blocks.

AJoe,

Oregon State University has a long history dealing with dilusional (off) peeps. They’ve had professors write books on the topic of Orthomolecular Psychiatry: Treatment of Schizophrenia. Dats wen da Dx says da noodlez are scrambled, split kine ideaz.

Yep, its a fakk, day hear voices ova deah at OSU. day goin hear da voice of Katoosh on Saturday when day go make patty cake wit da braddaz. 😀
going be one good game.

Go Warriors!!!

Rich,

A little disappointed that there’s only one Steely Dan selection. But it is a good one!

Kekoa,
I thank you for your support and I thank your dad for his service to our country.

Hey Beav,

I’m gonna go sleep tinkin ah da Beaver. 😀
we’re sending Wally Veikune, Wally Hisatake, Wally Estes, Wally Kia, Wally Stenhoff, Wally AhSoon and samoa Wallys fo ruff up da Beaver.

not far away anymore ~

Salute!

Scott on SportsHawaii posted a chart that is supposed to be the guide for when to go for 2 after a TD…and according to this chart, UH should have kicked the extra point in the Weber State game.

The thing that I most didn’t like is that now UH has shown their 2-point play. It worked and seemed like a good play for that situation, but now every team has it on film.

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

Biologists are close to creating a new life form!

Surfer in Australia was towed 170 feet out to sea by a shark!

South Korea announced the first puppies born from parents who were both cloned dogs.

This is for A-sports and the other Tsaikos who love to go fishing. Watch out for the flying silver Asian carp!

About the 2-point conversion, I still think that’s misdirection by Coach Mack. It just seemed like practice for Tyler for me. Maybe it’s part of Mack’s influence on the offense — if you have a team on its knees during the aerial assault, why not pour it on with a conversion?

My bet is that Mack won’t try it if Hawaii happens to have the same lead at Oregon State.

Good evening friends

Things should be slowing down a bit and a little quieter…got a little heated earlier in the day. I thought I’d wait a little before stitching a couple of thoughts together.

We’ve been talking a great deal about booing…and about “saints”. In both cases, the central issue is freedom of speech. We need to all acknowledge that it is a right. Used to discuss it with my kolohe soldiers from time to time. When one seemed to not understand about “rights”, I’d invite him over to a private spot and put him in the front leaning rest while we discussed the topic…wanted to make sure that there was a good supply of blood going to his head so he could think…instead of having it pool in his feet while standing. lol

Then, I’d start explaining that rights were very important…the right to bear arms, the right to vote…and most importantly, the right to free speech. They’d always ask, “Does that mean I can say anything I want?” I’d let out a long sigh and remark that that was a major deficiency in Americans…we often jump to conclusions after knowing only half the answer. Then, I’d patiently explain to the young soldier that there are responsibilities with every right that we fight so hard to protect. With the right to bear arms, there was the responsibility to keep it maintained and under proper control so curious young kids wouldn’t hurt themselves or others. With the right to vote, we have the responsibility to exercise that right and to do due diligence so we elect the right leaders. And, most importantly, the right to free speech meant the responsibility of using the Golden Rule. Free speech doesn’t mean one can shout profanities in a church service and disrupt people’s right to worship as they please. It doesn’t mean that someone can should “Fire!” in a crowded restaurant and endanger lives in a panicked stampede. The right to free speech means tempering it with consideration of others and their rights. Americans are too often “I…I…me…me” just like immature, young kids. We forget that, in a society, things work much better when we think in terms of “We and Us”.

At that point, I always asked for discussion and any thoughts that might be on his mind. Seemed that I was blessed to have really smart young’uns as they quickly nodded that they understood and “no” they didn’t have anything else to discuss. I’d pause to make sure I didn’t have anything else to cover…and then reassured them that I was always available for any future “talks” before getting them on their feet and double timing back to their post.

And, so it is on this blog. We have a great time because we encourage a sense of “We”, and we take the time to meet face to face to develop real relationships and speak what’s on our minds. There’s a sense of civility. Personally, I have little use for folks who attempt to use this blog for personal vendettas. The more they write, the more they reveal themselves for who they are. At that point, it’s only fitting that they are treated as the trolls they are.

Good nite all

BG – well said, sir. That was very eloquent. Now can we teach it to everyone? I too was rather distressed by the goings on this afternoon and tended not to read it all. I am glad things have calmed down. I can’t believe some of the comments I read in response to the regular news stories and that is why I retreat to this blog. The Tsai-kos have nutured a sense of ohana within our group and we are welcoming to all who come. I wish the whole world was the same. As the saying goes, “Can’t we all just get along?”

ST,

at first i thought it was roasted pork belly.. but up close it looks like the hind legs of some rabbit.

speaking of heated,
sadisticowski is a corrupt donkeys a$$ with $hit for brains and he should have his body cavities packed with field turf and his balls placed in a thorny vice rendered to explosion over the billows of Madame Pele in a sacrificial rite of apology owed to the people of Hawaii.

uh……ok…that’s all…good night

Uh…Haka…never mind, you’ve already said it. Good nite.

what a night, Ferd eating guinea pigs and Leonard killing squirrels, what is this world coming to! Their moms never took them to a pet shop to see all beautiful animals including guinea pigs….

RE Ching/Cooke Field Renovation Timeline:

What would you do if you had to make that decision?

Glad I am not the President of the University of Hawai`i.

President of the University of Hawai`i Pomai’s answer:
(getting Sadowsky in a corner) Yeah know sad’s this state is still run as a old boys network, and I have quite a bit of pull, now if you don’t drop this whole thing and let me get that damm field fix’ed I’ll make sure you never get another contract in this state again, period” Glad to have this little talk with you.(patting him on the back as I walk away.)

WassupDoc,

Thank you for that projected timeline for the Cooke Field turf contract. It is a sad situation that UH is in right now, as Sadowski is trying to drag things out and doesn’t care who is hurt in the process.

Just giving the contract to Sadowski wouldn’t necessarily speed things up as RMY/Hamocon would surely file an appeal–and in my opinion they have a stronger appeals case than Sadowski.

I would have more faith in UH’s President…if I could forget that he was consistently saying that HF was doing a great job, led the search committee that picked HF, and only stopped backing HF when it was clear that JJ was about to leave.

Lori noticed that the Todai in Portland is cheaper than the one in San Diego…so I think we’ll be bringing my parents, my family, and Lori’s friend Melissa (we will be staying at her parent’s home) there on Friday!

Good morning Tsaikos everywhere.

hiya Capitol -ist/WassupDoc:

re your 417 post:

RE Ching/Cooke Field Renovation Timeline:

Based upon what we heard today at the preliminary hearing …
The hearing will be held …in October [10/8]…. with a decision to be rendered within a month. It will take about two to five working days…paperwork to be updated once the decision has been made and then the clock will start running on the implementation of the contract….
There is also speculation that should CO-HA/Sadowsky lose the hearing, they will move it on over to Circuit Court and, if needed, through the appeals process at the state – and maybe even the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and beyond. That means in about five years, a final, final decision will be rendered.
If that were to happen, then UH would have to decide whether to just bag the whole thing and let Sadowsky have the contract so as to get the Ching/Cooke Field fixed – or to keep fighting on principle that the lowest bidder whose work on a previous contract has proven exemplary should be the one to get this contract.
What would you do if you had to make that decision?
Glad I am not the President of the University of Hawai`i.

Don’t forget, after Sheryl gets all the testimony and stuff from the players (Sadowski/UH), and after she writes her decision, and assuming she writes what I’m thinking she’s gonna write:

like before, Sadowski has the right to wait until the very last minute, 30 days from the date of the DCCA order, except if 30 days lands on the weekend then he gets ttill the next Monday, to appeal the decision to the Circuit Court.

SADOWSKI has RIGHTS!!! HE GET PRINCIPLE!

What about Warrior Nation arights an leffs? you know the bugga going appeal.

I have the right to my bannah. I neva loze my right.
The whole State gonna know SADOWSKI is da one holding up da Ching Cooke Field Fix. Its a fact, he has the right to a legitimate appeal. So we going keep analyzing his legitimate appeal right, an see how legitimate da appeal is. I seen what was written on da letter from Holma to McClain. I going see if she wen add samoa. And then its truth time. From what I’ve seen so far, speaking in regular english, Sadowski protesting cuz RMY no more proper license, and wen list Hamocon improperly. I neva hear that from the horse’s mouth, thats only my interpretation of what was written. maybe day going change da flayvah ah dat one, add samoa salt.
i cannot speak for Holma or Sadowski, but dats how it looks. on da odda side, Hamocon is saying we followed all the requirements of the bid. which in turn could cause Holma to say “UH wen mess up wen they said X and y, they shoulda also said z, a, b…

then they all go hire samoa lawyers for… drag things out…. the process. we gotta follow the process….

I say we bannah da bugga…
i no like wait 1, 2 or 5 years for fix Cooke Field.
The Chings might change their mind. Worse, odda who like help out could change their minds. Is that when we make the bannah? just my opinion, but I like get rid of anybody that thinks they’re doing us a good deed by jamming up da fix in the name of principle or rights, And if he’s got proof that there is insider fixin, somebody calling Hamocon afta peeking at his bid and tellin Logan “psst.. bid lower than this amount”, then I am all for Sadowski’s action. But if he no more proof, and there has been no suggestion of that kinnah hanky panky, then wat is da Sadowski tinking???????

bannah da new Herman Frazier….

Can anyone tell me:

duffer – howzit, nice find

It was good to get a call from CA.to get on the line .Garett we don,t care what they call Josh as long as it good. DE or DT . Florida Ted thank for the info on FSW. Josh,s Mother isn,t going to the game and last night found she had FSW. Right now there are eight family and friends going to OSU. Mom is staying home to take care of the dogs. Does make up for any of those squirrels?[Josh is your typical Hunter [stories] I lived thru my husbands ,My son,s and now My grandson. If I knew how to put up a smiley face here would be the place

bighilofan2,

duffer posted the D&D info on Co Ha, which is useful but generally out of date for small companies. D&B charges for companies to update their information, which is why small companies like mine never update their info–our info on D&B has the wrong city, # of employees, is missing NAICS codes and so on…but they want to charge us to update it so we don’t bother.

CCR is the Central Contractor Registration for all companies who wish to do business with the Federal Government. I did a search on CCR for APPLIED SURFACING TECHNOLOGY and found a bunch of information that is all publicly available.

RALPH: Guinea pigs were raised as food by the Incas and is still done so by their descendants. Not unlike horsemeat by the French (and others) and other foods that we think would be weird. (Snails, opihi, kim-chee (buried in jars, frogs etc.)

(I love snails and opihi and avoid the other stuff).

Other people, other customs.

How many appeals can be thrown back at ‘cha until the message is clear.
Why doesn’t he wan’t to move on? If he is seeking an NFL career, is he looking at trying to beef up more stats and video for the scouts?
Doesn’t make sense to me.

RE: Ching field:

I don’t know all the legal matters and such, but my GUT is telling me that the UH Prez is not doing anything because he wants to see Lingles boy get the contract.

All this stalling is part of the plan to wear our the people fighting Sadowski. Think about it, he is not losing money on this, hes making US lose.

Hes the the one being proactive while we are being reactive and that benefits him as he is the one pulling the strings.

Good Morning Everbody!!!

jm2375 ~ It’s an affliction caused by the ‘friction’ associated with running on artificial turf. If you ever get a chance to walk (or run) on turf, try making a few sharp cuts to the left or right. There is no soft ‘give’ to the surface of your foot under your toes. If affects players with feet that are very sensitive to that kind of friction. Thus, they develop a something like a blister that is quite bothersome. Just my experience with it. I know others could prolly explain it better, or describe other type of “owees” they’ve gotten from it.

Oh, btw jm2375, I must caution you. The next time you decide to crash Kealoha da Playhouse…Homey’s Security Service and his faithful Poodles will be there on guard duty. I guarantee you goin’ get ‘turf toe’ diggin’ outta dere wit dem Poodles hot on your okole!

Good Morning Tsaikos and Tsaikettes…. Hope everyone is doing well.

Just wanted to remind everyone as well that the TV Gate for the next away game, which will be broadcast at 10:00 a.m., has been scheduled. So, for all you local fans who are not able to join Stretch and his merry band on the road to Corvalis, here are the details:

UH vs. OSU
Saturday, September 13, 2008
10:00 a.m.

Ige’s Restaurant and 19th Puka
98-761 Oihana Pl
Aiea, HI 96701
(808) 486-3500

They will open at 9:30 a.m. I will get there a little earlier because they do not take reservations no matter how big your party is. I would appreciate it if a couple people could get there early as well so we can save a big enough area for all who are attending.

According to Ige’s, they will serve some breakfast stuff, but will have mostly lunch and pupus. It is also being sponsored by Bud Light so I am assuming Bud Light girls will be there and they may have some specials (KK, that’s right up your alley). There will also be a contest for the Ultimate Warrior Fan. Per Ige’s, “Three lucky winners will receive tickets for the 2009 UH vs. UNLV game. The theme is the Ultimate Warrior Fan so come dressed to impress and unleash your inner Ultimate Warrior.” Not sure what that’s all about but I’ll put it out there.

Anyway, if you plan on coming to the event, please RSVP me at jgo8464822@aol.com so that we can save enough seats. People are always welcomed to just stop by but it would be good if we had a rough estimate of the number attending so that enough room can be made.

Also, you can check Steve M’s website for details.

Thanks.

Vince Manuwai spoke to the press about his injury. (I hope I got the link right.)

Great articles on Josh Leonard in todays papers. I have only one comment.

SAVE THE SQUIRRELS! HUNT BEAVER INSTEAD!
GO WARRIORS!!!

KEKOA: I am wondering about Daniel Libre and his high ankle sprain.

I recall that (in olden times, maybe) the Penn State players all wore those black shoes that look like combat boots – it covered the ankles. Wonder if those type shoes would be worthwhile even though it may affect some of the cutting ability?

Maverick ~ I like your definition better! Chia Pet…hmmm yeah!

Hmmm…ChiaToes!

I don’t think I going eat Chee-tos for awhile now. 🙁

d1,
we didn’t really use our “real” first team offense in florida either.

Good morning ST!

Good morning internet users!

BTW, has anyone seen my Brazilian dental floss? A-Joe?

Koauka –

Yeah, I know what you mean about the airfares. I am taking three trips during the last quarter of the year and the prices are killing me. I have to constantly check on them and then find the right time to book. Luckily, I have that done as well as most of the accomodations.

At least I will be able to attend one away game this year. Looks like I will have to wait until the UNLV game next year before I go to another. That one should be fun though! Tsaiko Charter!!!

I missed Call The Coach last night. Thanks for the information. I was just wondering why ST didn’t have a new post up yet. Maybe he did win that Paula Abdul mural and is dancing around in his living room in his BVDs.

Hey homey square!

Kekoa – poodles, schmoodles. I just throw da lead slippah at ’em and DEY gonna run and hide. Plus I thought I saw some big supasoakers in the clubhouse. hehehe. 😆

ST:

Ferd’s meal looks like “bat”.

Yeah, I know Jason. Wondering if I am going to recover in time for lunch. Not a sure thing…game time decision.

Rob5² – and how are you today? Fine I hope. Looks like a beautiful day to take a cruise to the east.

(J)J – Mint or Cinnamon flavor sound intriguing.

jm2375 – I think the poodles would just get angry.

Jason – you actually visualized it?

A-House – whatever it is it looks delicious!

A-House… I actually think that Ferd’s meal is Guinea Pig….You guys going to Corvalis???

homey…at least you’re not familiar with a moose knuckle…mwhahahahahaha

Da East side does look like a nice place to cruise to…check out da waves too….

Turf toe is painful. When I got mine, my big toe got jammed into the joint repeatedly because of not wearing well-fitted shoes. Think in Wright-Jackson’s case after her ran with the ball, he stopped as to cut back but his foot was pointed into the turf where I think he jammed it. That buggah when look sore.

In my case, the doctor told me to rest it for a week and take tylonol for pain.
The second time I got it, the joint became swollen. Had to take some low dose prednisone for two weeks. Not fun.

Rob8675309 – Scorpions? You ROCK! BTW, I have 2 guinea pigs at home. Nice and plump!

(J)J – I’ve seen the mk. yeowzah! I’ll probably stop by somewhere and eat some sushi. I find eating sushi is easier than eating nabeyaki udon while cruising.

morning tsai-ko country getting close to playing da beavers oops sorry where am I at. anyway is it sat yet. hope most of yu’s join us at Ige’s. much to share with everyone such as fun, family, friendship, football and fuuuuuuuuud.

wow rob25 glad you wen clarify about da game or we was going cut your tsaiko membership in half bwhaaaaa j/k 😆

taking time to lurk and read da blog and seem everyone is playing nicely…..goood.

pride you played in da day when lia, ulukita ulukita, loloai or latter when lutu, morales twins, sale played?

yes james you koa mahu

koauka betta watch it latta on turf toe becomes gout.

James:

No, we got the “away package game” on pay-per-view.

Rob25

Have you seen this site for active duty folks (Frank is that right now)?

http://www.militarytravel.com/

Some good rates and they usually don’t charge for changes. When I’m traveling and suddenly need a commercial ticket, I’ll duck into the Travel Office at a base. Example, internet was saying 6-800 for one way ticket from Narita to Incheon. Got it for $240 at the TO and left the next day.

Good luck

ST didn’t post a new entry so he wouldn’t have to piggyback Gigi.

Koakane, I not gonna lie, the doctor took one blood test and the uric acid was high. So that’s why I had to take the low dose steroid. Moral of the story, bang the toe and its gonna hurt.

But I dont think you can treat a college athlete with a low dose steroid. Probably
show up on da drug test.

Rob25 – Let’s not post anything on the new blog topic so we can see ST piggyback gigi. I say he drops her after the 4th step.

Hi Rob!

I can’t wait!

koauka my next post was to mention getting a blood test to check uric acid. solution to drink tons of water and let liver flush out all da junk or not get dem pills ready. eh beer helps bwhaaaaaaaaaaaa j/k

koakane™ – Seems like there can be a misdiagnoses somewhere…like heartburn and heart attack. Just in case I will avoid astroturf and stay on a healthy bland diet.

homey – ST would piggyback Gig somewhere, then hand her off to someone else, and then they would take her somewhere else, and finally she would end up at Liz’s blog. Something like what happened to Ronnie’s Colt DVD. He forgot, then took it to Rich, who then brought it to Hawaii with him, and now it is back in LA, but still not with Ronnie.

koakane™ – Seems like there can be a misdiagnoses somewhere…like heartburn and heart attack. Just in case I will avoid astroturf and stay on a healthy bland diet.

I doubt it! I saw what you ate at Phuket Thai. Nothing bland about that soup!

koauka welcome to da club braddah. got mine in mid twenties but dem parties, bars etc so ono when you young you no feel anything. worst one happened wen we were in da Kau dessert on a survival camp. crap I told the oddah guys leave me there to die cause I ain’t walking any more. funny looking back now cause my buddy keep teasing me so latter what comes around he get it and I refused to take him to emergency for couple hours. he was screaming bloody murder too.

Some guys are born with da cast iron stomach. Me, no can already.

OK I feel better now…got a dose of “Rock You Like A Hurricane” and “Winds of Change”

That makes me think of the Warrior Football team!

GO WARRIORS!!

Rob09/10/08 – I’m talking post Phuket Thai. Plus, did you see me make a plate at the t-gate? oooo, almost time for the cruise!

So that means the DVD’s weren’t lost? Aiyah, so that means we won’t lose gigi.

Ronnie…some of us are working on events/flights/hotels for the UNLV game in 2009. Stay tuned for details.

I get one cousin caught his attack right after one Warrior Football game. And he when man-up and walk down to the parking lot from the loges.

Good thing, he said, the cleaning crew works all night. He could see his car from the box office looking towards the LOWER HALAWA LOT.

Bruddah is a man.

You didn’t make a plate at the tailgate because you were eating off the grill or taking right out of the container with those chopsticks of yours.

Ronnie, did you get the DVD yet?

Nope, no DVD yet. Rich couldn’t make it to our last Calf Call. Which reminds me, I have to schedule another one.

RE Ching/Cooke Field issues:

There are clear state laws and administrative rules on the books dealing with challenges to contracts.

Here on what has happened so far:

The University of Hawai`i’s Procurement office issued an Invitation For Bids on July 1, 2008, the same day that funds appropriated from the Legislature for the Field’s fix could be released. In fact, the Procurement Office had been working on the document several weeks prior to issuing it.

Because of a number of inquiries concerning particular items in the IFP, the Procurement Office extended the bid deadline to Friday, July 25. That day, four bids were opened – I was present in the room – and the winning bid was $862,881 (RMY/Sports Turf Hawaii) and the second lowest bid was $$883,563 (CO-HA/Applied Sports Technology). The other two bids were over $1 million.

The Procurement Office in consultation with the Facilities Office then evaluated the winning bid and found that it met the qualifications as specified in the IFB. The University announced the contract had been awarded to the lowest bidder on Wednesday, August 13.

That triggered a seven-day challenge period starting Thursday, August 14, for all of the other bidders. Two challenges were filed by close-of-business on Wednesday, August 20, by CO-HA and the “fourth-lowest bidder,” Ching’s Nursery, Inc./Service Contracting.

I then attended the University BOR’s meeting on Friday, August 22, at Windward Community College and received permission to address the BOR briefly on a non-apenda item. I asked them to stand firm behind the University of Hawai`i at Manoa on this matter and to do the right thing. Both Darolyn Lendio, UH’s General Counsel, and Virginia Hinshaw spoke after me and answered the Regents’ questions. Although nothing could be done because the item had not been properly noticed under state Sunshine Laws, the Regents did get an update on the issues.

By the end of August, the University rejected the appeals and upheld the contract award. It was at this point that the two losing bidders then filed two spearate appeals with the Department of Commerce & Consumer Affairs.

Also by the end of August, the Governor released the funds for the project to the University of Hawai`i. Although I cannot vouch for this first-hand, I assume that the check went into UH’s Capital Account and it cleared with no problems. It should be earning a bit of interest while waiting for matters to be resolved.

The first hearing is 9 am, Friday, September 26, with Ching’s Nursery. The second hearing is 1:30 pm, Wednesday, October 8, with CO-HA. The University of Hawai`i is the second party in each case, not RMY.

Supporting documents by both parties in both hearings will be available for public inspection prior to the two hearings. I’ve left a message for the Hearings Officer to let me know when the documents will be available.

Tom Mui and I will also be looking at the initial paperwork filed for the two DCCA appeals and will report back here with what forms the substance of the two hearings on September 26 and October 8.

Like it or not, the laws and administrative rules must be followed – and BHF2 is right – as long as an appeal is filed prior to the close of business on the specified date, then it’s good-2-go.

HERE’S MY TAKE: There is nothing whatsoever to suggest that the University of Hawai`i – whether talking about the Chancellor and her subordinates, the President, or the Board of Regents – has in any way done anything to hinder, impede, show favoritism, or slow down the process. UH moved the bid through about as fast as it could have – and if there’d been no challenge, I suspect that the blessing ceremony would be in the planning process tor an end-of-September date.

Yes, Sadowski was nominated by Lingle but he, along with hundreds of others sitting on boards & commissions throughout the state – including my professional colleagues for whom I testified at their hearings – was confirmed by the State Senate overwhelmingly dominated by the Democrats.

PETITIONS, ETC: A well-worded petition supporting the University’s decison without any reference to losing bidders should be drafted and generated to be submitted to the Board of Regents at its next meeting on September 19 at Hawai‘i Community College.

Please do NOT call the Hearings Officer per Tom Mui’s request yesterday.

Tom is also making an inquiry to the Regents’ Executive Secretary as to how to make sure the item is on their September 19 Agenda.

Remember, Sadowski is acting as a private individual on behalf of his private business in this matter and NOT as a member of the Contractors License Board.

I know the frustration about these issues, but the laws & rules & regulations are there to protect us. Surely no one wants to go back to the days when contracts for public projects were awarded on the basis of friendships with decision-makers and not on their qualifications to perform the work.

The only way to fast-track the project itself is for the University to give in and award the contract to CO-HA. But what message does that send to students, staff & faculty, and the larger community?

Can Sadowski be shamed into backing off? That’s what BHF2 wants to do. Will it work? Beats me – but it won’t hurt to try as long as we don’t get physical or subject ourselves to slander/libel charges.

I had gout once. I was sitting at a table in Borders and within an hour, my ankle swelled up and I could barely walk. That’s when I learned that wrapping it with an ace bandage is the worst thing you can do. Yikes, that hurt!

hmmmm…almost lunch time. I think I’ll go cruise around a bit…TTYL

WassupDoc, Tom Mui, Bighilofan2:

A-House family truly apprecites your efforts to resovle the Cooke Field matter so the students and community can use the field ASAP.

IMHO, I can still see, in the community, the support to UH with wearing of t-shirts, stickers on vehicles, buying tickets, etc.

Let us continue to use last year’s football success to support UH in any manner/form that we can and let us not allow individuals to dampen progress that will be beneficial to the entire State of Hawaii.

ST:

Any word on whether the Wahine softball team got their WAC Championship bracelets?

Last I heard was they were to presented at at Wahine volleyball game and many games have been played at Stan Sheriff Center.

rob25 no porget da char sui bao from cha hun sut ronnie favorite place. you two gals have a good tsai-ko parte. rob25 know how now because dat one a regula full memba now. enjoy and no come back rob25 if you no can share some pics of da funnnys yu’s going have.

Penis, indeed

oh e kala mai ….. hey ronnie how you? tell bruddah jerry howzit for me.

Hi Koakane!

I’m good. How you? I’ll tell him you send your regard 😉

hey ronnie gotta watch our for rob25 she wen change since she hang with da tsai-ko’s especially homey. bwhaaaaaaaaaaaa lol 😯

well I know al dem eating at moo call so going eat my school hamburger stew. al you just killing me

stephen tsai, u obviously dont know what ur talking about. it says u know uh football in and out all the way down to players 40 yd dash, but obviously you don’t. ive been watching practice everyday. 2 points 2 b adressed. 1st)tuika is an intriguing prospect off the radar. great player but isnt going to b that much of an impact because of a high ankle sprain. ankle sprains cause players to hold back the 110% effort needed to make on self better in practice. so i would think thee off the radar prospect coming up would be vaughn meatoga. hes a work horse out there and is only a FRESHMEN! and 2nd) the allen jones brothers are not second team. only CJ allen jones is while his younger brother, ive noticed, is on the scout team. sophomore elliot purcell is taking reps at 2nd along with CJ allen-jones. ive notice purcell is backup for both ends if u watch the games he is 1st to take snaps at either left (veikune) or right (fonoti) sides concluding that he is the top reserve over CJ allen-jones. maybe i should take your job stephen tsai. poor job, shows how much you know or how much u pay attention to uh football.

Howzit H’Bod
