Awrite Go Hawaii!

Chow for MWC Coach of the Year! – Just starting on a positive note.

Happy to see Sean Schroeder playing again. He is an impressive kid and even if he doesn’t start will provide some serious competition.

A lot of teams weren’t suppose to beat USC last year. Go Bows!!!

quik one. i think the d line goin be solid too. sum depth n skillz. president kennedy goin be nutz. n moses goin part da seas. da ends goin be good. solid bruddahs solid.

This might be a stupid question but do we have a WR coach? None listed on website

Good morning, gang!

GO WARRIORS!!!

ST: Pictures of the current, accommodations (Hula Hut) vs. Pearl Harbor would be appreciated.

Inyoface, a lot of teams weren’t supposed to be usc last year (which is true), but UH was not one of them that did. Don’t see it happening this year.

Stephen, how can your own co-workers not know the blog exists? This is one the best followed sports blogs in the country. The fact that it is not promoted is a shame, but despite that lack of support, it does well. That just proves you are an excellent blog host/writer.

I may not agree with most people on here, but I am sure we can all agree that at least we have a place to disagree. better than having to slug it out in the parking lot or the stands like in the old days.

In all its trials, tribulations and in various iterations, the Warrior Beat is the place to be for many of us seeking our host’s observations on Rainbow Warrior football and other sports. And for the 4Fs!

Thanks for countless hours you spend making this place happen, Stephen! Long live the Warrior Beat!

GO WARRIORS!!!

Aloha all from the east!!!

Only reason I ask is that I heard Nevada had their locker rooms renovated recently and got a anonymous donor to pony up 100k for it. Took them only couple months to complete.

And here–here for ST’s call to order and decorum on the board. All vantages and perspectives can be debated with vigor and enthusiasm, but at the end of the day there is neither room or need to marginalize folks with name-calling. The fact that we are all from the most diverse place on earth, by our very nature we have divergent upbringings and perspectives, and as well we have all grown-up with each other, in way or the other. Not a sermon or anything of the like, but rather just the recognition we are all on the board for the same reason, to support the warriors……And Mahalo nui to ST for all you do.

#29 boolakanaka ” rather just the recognition we are all on the board for the same reason, to support the warriors…”

I like your sentiments – but perhaps the reality should be ” we should all be on board to support the warriors…”

Such a rebel

34—WarriorNY–sent you an email this morning to grab a beer this weekend.

sorry but as a season ticket holder for years…here is whats going to happen…We are all going to be excited at kick off…then about one play and 90 yards for a touchdown the crowd will be quiet…at about half time we will all decide if going back to the tailgate or going home to beat traffic is the best option for the rest of the night.

St how does the defensive line and dbs look?

This blog is on the front page of the Star Advertiser website, it isn’t that hard to find.

Good morning Tsaikos!

We’re all adults here. We should not have to be told to play nice. If you can’t say something in a face-to-face conversation, it doesn’t belong on the blog either.

kawika49 – #19 – he could, but then he’d have to kill you. 👿 j/k

GO WARRIORS!

GO WAHINE!

JM2375–I like your editorial guideline—if you wouldn’t say it face-to-face to another poster, in either content, inflection or tone, don’t say it…the bully-to-bully rule. I like it….

Posted earlier this morning, on yesterday’s postings. In short, Greg Salas getting all kinds of aloha from Philly press and coaches: http://rotoviz.com/index.php/2013/08/could-greg-salas-be-the-real-eagles-wr-sleeper/

47. Boola, thanks for the link to the Greg Salas article. Funny how the article says to “take a chance on Salas.” I don’t think Coach Kelly will be “taking a chance” on Salas. He has proven himself in college, with the Rams, and in summer camp. I think he passes the “eyeball” test.

Waaz up with ???

Yes love the blog but hate the nastiness. When it gets ugly here I go elsewhere. Can’t we all just get along? Not that I don’t enjoy reading everyone’s opinion – whether pro-UH or not. That’s why you a fan, to call it like you see it. Most of us can’t see it all!

Oh and got some scoops on Price. Seems brother just didn’t want to go above and beyond the call of duty, which is kinda expected on the college level. Had to cut him loose before the other coaches tied him to the goal post, so to speak.

Still, if you going to pay the guy for doing nothing, I can’t be down with that but it seems to be the UH way. Greenwood, paid for nothing, Hinshaw, paid for nothing, Frazier, paid for nothing, Jones, paid for nothing, Mac, paid for nothing, Donovan, paid for nothing, Price, paid for nothing.

Talk UH Football, people.

Thanks ST for the job you do on this blog, and for the updates from practice.

Q: If chow is coaching QB’s and receivers, who is doing job of HC? Each of these jobs is a full-time job. Does this mean chow is doing three full-time jobs? This is not a good strategy for the team and this would not be good for chow’s health.

I do notice during games that the wide receivers or slot backs run back and forth left to right or right to left. Why do they do that? Is there some strategic advantage to running around back there before the play starts?

Here you go:The numbers refer to a spot where the center of the defensive lineman’s body ends up.

Lining up at a “zero technique” means the DL lines up right over the Center’s nose. Moving outward, the even numbers mean lining up directly over an offensive lineman, so 2 is right over the guard, 4 over the tackle, and 6 over the tight end.

The odd numbers mean a DL lines up on the outside shoulder of a lineman. A 1-technique means lining up just to one side of the center, 3 technique on the outside shoulder of a guard, and 5 technique on the outside shoulder of a tackle. Lining up on the outside shoulder of the tight end is actually a 9 technique, and the inside shoulder of the TE is a 7 technique.

I dunno about 4 or 5 technique either but I remember the Pohaku 4 Five from the Lolo Telethon. The came on before the Sonny Afook Orchestra wit da irrepresabul voice of Winona Santos and the unusual dog ack from Ewa Beach.

Interesting day . . . so far!

#34 warrior NY, no problem. I often skim posts quickly myself.

Good Morning Gang!

ST: I take pride that I belong to a blog that has 99% intelligent people and comments. I sure hope I am not one of the remaining 1%!!

I thought it was simplified terms for missionary and doggie-style.

I believe a stunt and a blitz are the same animal…a blitz is when they come after the QB full tilt…a stunt is when they line up to blitz and either dont or do….in other words the O line isn’t sure if the blitz is coming. Thats a stunt.

A while back, I recall you checked and the records showed shoko shared the same IP as my stalker.

Is shoko = manziel = stalker? Meaning, one and the same?

I know its summer time and the gnats tend to come out during this time, but after a while, gets tiring swatting away gnats.

#75: A stunt is when defensive linemen change positions/roles during a pass rush in order to confuse the offensive linemen. A blitz is when the defense sends more defenders across the line of scrimmage than the offense has blockers in an attempt to get to the quarterback. Blitzing schemes may have linemen running stunts but a stunt is not a blitz.

Thanks for clarifying that. Although, I have to add that a stunt can be performed by a LB unless things have changed.

81–you are correct on that!

Waiting this afternoon for a home energy audit and catching up on the blog. . .

ST,

So from what I have read, sometime — maybe THIS year — the offense will break huddle and line up with Frank L(l)oyd, right guard, Don(nie) King in the slot and the quarterback will signal: “Two-sixty right! Two-sixty right! Uh-oh! Uh-oh!!” There will be a perfectly executed swing-pass to the right flat and Penitito will rumble for 65 yards and 6 points.

Or am I giving away secrets?

…or if playing out at ‘sandy’s’ then we just jump in, cool off and come back and play.

I blame the Board of Water Supply and mosquito truck for whatever ails or will ail me.

ST

please post the practice schedule for the JBPHH camp.

gobows, yes we did. And being unaware of any health consequences and unsupervised we would chase the smokey truck down the street. Oh what fun!

…shooting da flying termites unda da streetlights wit da garden hose.

#16 ST,

Spot on comments as usual. It had to be said and you did it well.

RE: #97

A-House — that the probably the Tsai-ko Izzy who lives really, really close to wafan. 🙂

From the WSJ:

Drivers of BMWs frequently come in for anecdotal criticism for habits on the road that are perceived as aggressive.

Now, a couple of studies, one in the U.S. and another from the U.K., appear to provide statistical evidence that BMW drivers are, to be polite about it, complete jerks.

In the older study, by researchers at the University of California, BMW drivers were far less likely to stop for a pedestrian who had just entered a crosswalk, the New York Times notes.

“In our crosswalk study, none of the cars in the beater-car category drove through the crosswalk. They always stopped for pedestrians,” researcher Paul K. Piff told the paper. He added that not only were “fancy cars were less likely to stop,” but also that “BMW drivers were the worst.”

Drivers of BMWs and other high-status cars (including Prius hybrids) were also more likely to cheat at four-way-stop intersections, according to the research.

In the second study, in the U.K., motorists were asked to identify the make and color of the car from which they have most frequently suffered road-rage incidents, the Daily Mail reports.

The study of 2,837 motorists found men between the ages of 35 and 50 driving blue BMWs were most likely to be reported as having engaged in road-rage behaviors such as aggressive driving and swearing.

Izzy: I own and drive both a 7 series and a M, but am polite, especially to pedestrians.

So, these stats not always accurate.

Study says “far less likely,” not “never.”

kifi, d1 –

“5 technique” is you eat with your hand, five fingers. 2 hands is more effective.

“4 technique” is you one snob, and hold your pinky up in the air.

😈

Talk to the hand…fist

Thanks gang. Mahalo to boolakanaka for explaining the 4 and 5 technique. I think I understand. Now I’m more confused on the difference between a stunt and a blitz.

A stunt is when u preten u going one way and then go the other. A blitz is when u don’t preten and just go for the pukas and hope you hit someone. As coach Marciel would say, pass the line and hit sometin.

and on offense, he would say; hit the first man u see. Oh and don’t close your eyes unless it’s Dana Kalima !

#85 You’re right it was simplier back in the days. We used to play tackle football barefoot, shorts in the mud next to Sumida Farm before Pearlridge and jumb in the spring water stream that ran thru the farm. Mr. Sumida wasn’t too happy that we got all that mud in the stream. He was a nice man. That was better than the water hose and hot feet on the asphalt road and we played wherever there was an open field even if had rocks and always barefeet. What were we to do we had no electronics like these kids have today. I have to tell my grandkids go play outside and get out of the house. Looking forward to the coming season win or lose. Go Rainbow Warriors!!!

Hey issy, been a long time…..hope you don’t loose your Prius ride if you share the study with dafan.

Hey guys,

I saw this on another site. I thought I should share… “Rebuilding the Rainbow”

http://vimeo.com/72255943

702:

Actually, the part I found most interesting is: What is it about High-status and Prius owners that makes many of them similar on “cheating” at 4-way stops? I wish I could see all of their data.

Funny about the BMW study….was cutoff last night in the Ward parking lot by a Wahine in a Beeemer who didn’t stop at a four way stop so she could beat me to one of the only open parking spaces

izzy,

Maybe it’s all the bling in da car too distracting that no can see the stop signs. Wonder when the older and the most recent study were made?

Generational behavior?

If it was me(don’t drive beemer), I’d blame my implants!

Leron,

Sorry about your experience last night…..if was in LV, lots of gun fire and even from Metro wud have been flying. Nah, only keyed.

Any scoops from practice today?

#21–ChowisPau, you know nothing about college football. If you did, you would remember that USC was ranked #1 per season. So nosh on that one.

Take your hate elsewhere. Or are you just a fakata Trojan coward fan who is afraid of this season. You sound like the rest of the Trojan babies here in LA.

Regarding Manziel, I’ve met him, he was gracious to sign footballs for me. How about keeping it real and waiting. I’m sure that Coach Sunlin will do the right thing.

Hawaii has its own problems. I’m still wondering about Moniz and the point shaving allegations. Every team has their problems. Don’t throw rocks cause we got some glass houses there to.

The team must be checking in about now.

…wonder if they are being greeted by someone special?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUc62jD-G0o

There was a sporting chance against the Luftwaffe.

…not so much against the ovens.

Just saying.

k- pau dis. Next topic pleez. 😐

702:

Implants?

You’ve had yourself. . . .

. . . enhanced?

As the school session begins: Good thoughts to the students, teachers, administrators and the rest of the residents of Moore, OK.

I’m beginning to like the sound of Cisco Field by Ellison.

izzy,

enhanced yes, but not where you’re thinking.

Too much sun and fun on the beaches and running when I lived in HI,

my Dr. told me I needed new eyes in the sunny desert.

#124 yeah we called it the watergress farm too as well as Sumida. There were a lot of crayfish. You must be from Aiea area.

Blogs comments are kind of like that game, Telephone.

#149 from the plantation camp Mauka…we used to borrow a few…leaf tops and what was undahneath from Mr. Sumida.

That was 1956.

kawika what grade were you in 1956. I hope you not my classmate lol but I never went to Alvah Scott. I went to Kalihi Waena

At the time I was enthralled by the tallest Keige in the room.

702WarriorFan,

I’ll be out there at the end of Sept.! Maybe we can get together.

I don’t think I have your number…may have Las Vegas’…

152..dats the one…by the old speedys, my grandparents had a monthly credit account….I abused that a bit too much.

Never met the Palagi.

boola..we had tokens

It worked..got faster not perfect.

#159 The Speedys store was called the Nagamine Store before the name change. The old Aiea Theatre was across the street and the pool hall was under the Santoki Store as you entered the old Aiea Town from Moanalua. The other theater was the Star theater which was on the corner as you made a right turn off of moanalua rd to aiea heights road. Sorry this has nothing to do with UH football. Naeole going to produce some nice offensive lineman and how did I determine that well because he is from Ka’a’awa, Kahuku High School, University of Colorado, NFL and that is my most scientific, biaslistic, analistic analysis.

Oh I never went to the Star theater because the roof was made of tin and I was afraid da roof was going fall in and I would miss the ending of the movie and not finish my star chocolate candy.

Yes, knew the Nagamines well. In fact, I had my own stint working there. You remember Kurashige’s smaller store by the public library??? Couldn’t go to the poolhall, because my mom’s said, ” there are sniffers, over there”.

Looking forward to that young man John Ursua when he gets back from his mission. He looks like a terrific athlete.

Kawika, Nah Mr. Look was a chinese-hawaiian guy, was my principal in the 60s.

boo,

Your buddy has a tough row to hoe at Oxy. Gotta get back over that CalLu hump in the SCIAC.

I hope they can do it. Watching CalLu take cracks from Linfield is getting kinda stale…

boo,

The challenge at Oxy is to find smart ballers with rich parents! Not like they sprouting up all around…

True….its not like that is the best demo graphic to build a powerhouse. Brainy kids, at a small upper-tier liberal arts school, in the smack middle of LA, and with well-to-do parents. As they say, he is going to have to find a way to make lemonade.

Probably, people always complaining about sticky slippas.

boola I wore rubber boots

Welcome back to Hawaii for the USC game Dave Patterson and wife. Dave was a starting receiver in 69-70-71 and was a GA in 72.

Dave became an AD in a Whittier HS and is now retired.

@PolyMom you are so dumb it is hilarious. BMW made weapons for the Nazis and they had slave labor workers during the war. The owner of BMW himself has admitted this. What planet are you from? Or are you just some person who thinks they are so much better than everyone else?

Why would you even think we care what kind of car you drive? How is that relevant? You have more problems than I can imagine.

…too funny

kifi.

…nuff said!

#193 chowispau: LOL. yes.

#194 tommui: bad arguments (especially when said with a condescending holier than thou attitude) are bad arguments. Calling a spade a spade isn’t a crime. I mean, real talk: what she’s saying really is dumb.

“I refuse to drive a mercedes because their management and workers at least tacitly supported the holocaust over 70 years ago, so that means RIGHT NOW, the company are a bunch of murderers, even though BMW also supported the german war effort and utilized the same slave labor as most other large german manufacturers back in that era did. But that’s okay, because BMW cars are manufactured in germany or america (even though profits go straight to the BMW regardless of where the parts are manufactured or final assembly takes place).

And I’ll still fly boeing even though B-29s and B-17s took part in one of the largest firebombing operations on defenseless civilian populations the world has ever seen. And I probably still buy nike and other brand name apparel even though they’re made by CURRENT exploited de facto slave labor in free trade zones. And I probably still go to walmart even though they have very questionable business practices. Ah hell. I still frequent shopping areas and drive on freeways that were once native american land but was stripped by force by the US through a campaign of settler colonialism and genocide, but that’s PERFECTLY okay with me!”

I mean, really. if you’re gonna use the holocaust argument for mercedes, but think nothing about owning a BMW, how far are you willing to take that argument? the hypocrisy is almost as apparent as her condescension.

I’ve read all kinds of arguments on this blog, but now I have seen it all. Don’t drive VWs and Mercedes cars because of what the Nazis did?

I guess if you can afford a BMW (and like to take the opportunity to tell people on a football blog that you can) you can make any excuse you want for driving one.

Practice tomorrow JBPHH starts at nine.

I received my Na Koa parking pass in the mail today. No tickets yet.

Talking about food is okay. Talking about the political correctness of driving particular brands of cars . . . not. And ChowIsPauIsPau, don’t call people dumb, that’s plain (and playing) Nasti.

Zippy’s, Chunky’s, Rose City Diner (? at Restaurant Row, pencils in the ceiling)

Oyasumina-Tsai.

NotNasti — a favorite 24-hour place was the Hungry Lion (Nuuanu). It was the site of the very first impromptu Cattle Call and was located right between DPK’s Punchbowl and my place. I was not invited because it was brought up on the blog on morning and arranged last-minute via telephone and no one had my number. 🙁

The original attendees were Al, DPK, WreckinEyez, James [aka (Jesse)James] and Addahknowjoe, as I recall. The second Cattle Call a week later was announced on the blog by Al–and I was touched everyone asked if I saw the post… OK, so maybe I whined a little bit the week before. The first Camellia cattle call in March 2007. Here’s a passage related to that in my “Bus Stop” musing…

…now I’m reading a blog named “The Warrior Beat”. It’s been months and I start to speak to the interesting and remarkable people that I met there. It is fun, it is informative, and I never thought I’d be so drawn in and accepted by a bunch of faceless strangers…

A lunch at Camellia? I’m going. What’s your name? Can I have your email address? Here’s my card…do you have one? Where do you work? Yeah–I still get teased about that today. But I got the info. Was I planning to see them again?… go to tailgates, football games, parties, and karaoke? No. Not at that time….

Anyway, today the 24-hour Likelike Drive Inn comes to mind. Some Tsai-kos have gone to Sorabol late at night in the “bubbling tofu soup” days…

hey whatever happened to kahuku grad tigi hill he was signed with uh this past recruiting season? anybody know?

Slayer, Tigi fell short academically. He can return to the team in the spring if he catches up.
