Camping trip
It will be a camp within a camp when the Rainbow Warriors relocate this afternoon to Joint Base Pearl Harbor/Hickam.
The Warriors practice this morning on campus, then pack for the base, where they will train through Tuesday.
It should be a nice break for the Warriors, who were stationed in UH’s dance studios the past two weeks. When they return to the Manoa campus, they will be allowed to check into the dorms or move back into off-campus apartments.
* * * * *
The competition should accelerate on base as the Warriors finalize the depth chart. Once they return to campus next week, the Warriors will focus exclusively on preparing for USC. The next week could see a late push to alter what is now the No. 1 offensive line of left tackle Sean Shigematsu, left guard Mike Milovale, center Ben Clarke, right guard Kody Afusia and right tackle Frank Loyd Jr.
Running back Diocemy Saint Juste, who is recovering from a hamstring injury, should be at full speed in the coming days. X receiver Vasquez Haynes has worn the yellow jersey in practices because of the shoulder ailment, but he also should be ready for full-contact work in the next few days.
* * * * *
Was it mentioned former UH recruit Ronald Fields is at Texas A&M-Commerce?
Was it mentioned former UH receiver Chinedu Amadi is keeping his Promise? Recruited as Promise Amadi, he wanted to be called his given first name, Chinedu, while a Warrior. Now he is back to Promise as a Boise State walk-on. Fair’s fair. After all, his former team changed its nickname.
Awrite Go Hawaii!

Good to get the wounded Warriors back!
Go Warriors!
Good morning, gang!
GO WARRIORS!!!
Re: Yesterday’s debates.
If you didn’t know about this blog, would you be able to find it? I work with people who don’t know the blog still exists. It’s not promoted. To find the blog requires a certain intelligence, aptitude, diligence and curiosity. The point is: If you’re on here, my presumption is you’re intelligent. That’s why I think 99 percent of comments are thoughtful. (There’s the 1 percent that needs medical attention. Seriously. Quest will pay for it.)
On the premise that we’re all reasonably intelligent people, there’s a way to debate without name-calling or trying to project superiority by dispersing inferiority.
In other words, play nicely.
Anyway, practice starts at 9 a.m. today.
It’s the last open practice of the year. Take notes. You’ll be quizzed later.
#245 (yesterday’a post)
Warrior NY, that was not my comment. I just copied what Jeezy said on the wsn blog. I noted that I forgot to put his comments in quotes. I like his posts too but said that he comes on with a lot of attitude. I guess he decided to vent on another blogsince his last comments were about the blog host.
ST: Pictures of the current, accommodations (Hula Hut) vs. Pearl Harbor would be appreciated.
Good morning all.
Lets go Rainbow Warriors
Beat USC
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.
GOOD MORNING HAWAII!
From one of my UH bulletins, I understand that the Dance Studio is only a year old – looks rather nice.
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!!!
It’s a dance studio, its for dancing. Not sleeping in.
All other colleges sleep in dorms!
But like Chow says no excuses!
Aloha all from the east!!!
I’m just here for the entertainment value. It’s a lot better than HBO.
Anyway, maybe I missed it, but is the locker rooms completed?
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.
Actually, it might have been only a month, but the Nevada project might not have been as extensive as UH’s.
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.
19 players sat out yesterday at USC practice. They are kind of beat up. Kiffen’s job IS on the line. Was watching some Fox Sports show last night and they are saying if USC does not beat Hawaii by 24 they see Kiffen getting fired.
@ST, my hub really enjoyed this mornings article. It was exciting to read a no huddle.
Good Morning to all the Warrior fans.
#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…”
#21 Nicely stated and for once no disagreement on the statement on being a contrarian. How a position is stated may bring angst from fellow bloggers.
Such a rebel
Truman,
Sorry, I just re-read your comment. I got it now. Sorry for the confusion…
34—WarriorNY–sent you an email this morning to grab a beer this weekend.
16. Re: Yesterday’s Debates
It was fun. But yes, no need to get personal.
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.
Boola,
I will email ya back later on this evening…
St how does the defensive line and dbs look?
USC 56 Hawaii 10, team will look better, but no way we dont allow 10 sacks and 2 ints. New quarterback…same line basically. The definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results..
This blog is on the front page of the Star Advertiser website, it isn’t that hard to find.
Some people drink Kool-Aid, jeffdman2000 takes in doses of reality.
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!
Partly sunny today…not partly cloudy, right?
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….
jefffdman2000
Albert Einstein said thats the definition for insanity not crazy
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/
Jeezy come back……..your insight is typically spot on, never mind what these guys say, keep providing your valuable insight.
Thanks Braddah
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.
Sales look good on workout
Hope he stays injuries free and
Have a great year
U too Te’o
Waaz up with ???
Go surf and stay off the blog
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.
I know what a touchdown is. I know what a turnover is. I know who the linebackers are. Can someone please explain to me what a 4 or a 5 technique is?
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.
…oh, and if chow is also OC…then who is HC?
Is he for real? Is he really doing the job of four people?
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?
Sorry if it seems like I’m asking dumb questions, but nobody ever stops to explain these things. What’s the difference between a stunt and a blitz?
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 don’t really care which player starts, or what kind of offense Chow elects to employ, as long as the offense is able to able to move the chains. Otherwise our defense will simply wilt in the second half.
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.
Or we can go wit yours boo…
Interesting day . . . so far!
Good morning everyone!
kifi…. 🙂
… good questions. Thanks!
#34 warrior NY, no problem. I often skim posts quickly myself.
In honor of d1shima….I’m placing a link, to the eddie murphy of my day, when I was growing-up…we use to sneak to listen to this recording with all my cousins late on Friday evenings, right before wresting (curtis the bull iaukea…..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okDAHbmZSKc
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%!!
#69: Feel better now that you got that out of your system? I can tell you’ve been waiting for that moment.
I thought it was simplified terms for missionary and doggie-style.
ST, is manziel at 71 the same poster as poster at 60 (same IP)? Sounds like the same person. If it is, then manziel = stalker.
Manziel appeared about same time my stalker appeared. Coincidence? Just wondering.
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.
#73: uh.. no. it shouldn’t be. just because someone is posting after you and pointing out something they observed doesn’t mean that they are one of the (possibly many?) people posting under the specific internet handle that you like to use. On a personal note, I really think you should let this whole thing go. The best way to get rid of trolls, especially in a set up like this blog, is to not feed them.
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.
I thought blitzes were from the lb’s and db’s and stunts are the linemen.
#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.
75–similar, but a blitz is the defense bringing more rushers than there are blockers. A stunt is where defensive lineman will switch courses, conscripted, and try and confuse the offensive line.
Thanks for clarifying that. Although, I have to add that a stunt can be performed by a LB unless things have changed.
If I use the TOR browser, wouldn’t my IP constantly chnge?
81–you are correct on that!
Things were much simpler when we played “hawaiian style” football. Barefoot, rough roads, and refreshing water hose water.
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?
85-Execept Jimmy, if it was in summer, and that hose had not been used in a bit. Remember “sucking pipe” only to get a burst of some warm brackish water that tasted like gaviota….
…or if playing out at ‘sandy’s’ then we just jump in, cool off and come back and play.
Aloha Kakahiaka!
Looking forward to the upcoming T-Gate and game with USC.
makin memries while we still get chance!
GO, RAINBOW WARRIORS!
I blame the Board of Water Supply and mosquito truck for whatever ails or will ail me.
Just be thankful we don’t take out our differences like they do in Egypt.
Any predictions on Deedy?
Exciting week in High School football. Punahou/Mililani, Farrington/Kamehameha, Leilehua/Iolani, Kahuku/St. Louis…no diss to the other matchups but these are the ones that intrigues me.
ST
please post the practice schedule for the JBPHH camp.
jimmy the lock
used to have mosquito trucks in hawaii? don’t remember hearing about them here, i’ve seen them fuming in georgia.
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!
…and on hot muggy summer nights, out came the billions of termites.
…shooting da flying termites unda da streetlights wit da garden hose.
#86:
Izzy? is that our Tsaiko who lives on the West Coast?
If ye, how you b?
#16 ST,
Spot on comments as usual. It had to be said and you did it well.
I remember the mosquito trucks as a kid in Kailua in the 50’s. Having the Kawanui Swamp– when is was really a swamp– a half mile away was probably the reason.
RE: #97
A-House — that the probably the Tsai-ko Izzy who lives really, really close to wafan. 🙂
#97:
Yes, sir. Colonel, sir!
Just checking in. . .
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.
Worse is a tita driving a BMW.
Izzy: I own and drive both a 7 series and a M, but am polite, especially to pedestrians.
So, these stats not always accurate.
Worse than a tita driving a beemer is my wife…opps, one in the same. Thank god she doesn’t read this blog….on second thought, she ever asks about me here–you don’t know me.
Study says “far less likely,” not “never.”
boolakanaka, 😆
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.
107–Hell hath no fury like a women women you have witnessed knock out another girl at Studebackers back in the day….they say the better part of valor is discretion. They did not finish the entire statement–“the discretion to stay out of my wife’s way….”
😈
Talk to the hand…fist
Also,
“blitz” is when your uncle (kk) has his 12pk + an extra greenie or seven.
a “stunt” is something your uncle does after your cousin (jj) dares him to do it….
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.
Although I think what nobody said sounds accurate.
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.
Former Rainbowtique clerk charged with stealing $12,000
By Star-Advertiser staff
POSTED: 05:38 p.m. HST, Aug 13, 2013
LAST UPDATED: 06:32 p.m. HST, Aug 13, 2013
A former Rainbowtique sales clerk is facing charges that he stole more than $12,000 from the Ward Centre store.
An Oahu grand jury returned an indictment last week charging Brandon D. Adams with theft and computer fraud.
Adams, 27, who lists a Hahaione Valley address, posted $11,000 bail Monday. His arraignment in state Circuit Court is scheduled for next week.
According to the indictment, Adams stole the money from Oct. 24 to March 22.
http://www.staradvertiser.com/news/breaking/20130813_Former_Rainbowtique_clerk_charged_with_stealing_12000.html?id=219512821
and on offense, he would say; hit the first man u see. Oh and don’t close your eyes unless it’s Dana Kalima !
i was at brunswick, ga in 97-98 and they had those trucks driving around blowing smoke.
#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!!!
Get some going aroun hea stay blowin’ smoke! 😯 😉 😈
Hey issy, been a long time…..hope you don’t loose your Prius ride if you share the study with dafan.
#85 In front of Leeward Hospital, btw Mr. Sumidas grand son was a back for Iolani under Coach Hamada. We used to use the cane haul road behind the Hospital to race our Jaka luck skate wheel powered carts.
Hey guys,
I saw this on another site. I thought I should share… “Rebuilding the Rainbow”
http://vimeo.com/72255943
119–Sumida Farm, or as we called it the watercress farm, we had many adventures there, with the most fav being collecting crayfish…which Mr. Sumida was not so fond of….I was the only non-japanese kid in my japanese school near our house.
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.
ok ok “nobody” like your alias name you wrong already
now den I gotta help kifi out. all this stuff is from da legendary pohaku kkk ka’umanua jadine senior, stone as his players call him, long time head coach of lower puhale scorpions.
first da reason why dem guys running around in da back is to confuse da opponents so dey no can figa out where you coming from.
second the difference of the 5 technique from da 4 is 5 get one moa, how simple,elementary, ask da teachas wafan and jason
finally the stunt is for the player 5’2 and unda to sneak in and get their cracks in aka stunt for short and blitz is for the taller guy to get crack so they no feel left out. das how team is developed.
kifi get anymoa jus ask….have a good day and as the masta says play nice
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
True story–back in the day, I was home from college….and it being Ala Moana, the week before xmas, well the place was choke with people. Anyway, I saw a parking spot, but being a young punk with no manners, I went the down the opposite way to beat this lady to the parking spot. Man, she Auntie was all huhu. Again, being a punk, I thought nothing of it, and proceeded my way to Patti’c Kitchen…but damn, I forgot my wallet. So, I walked all the way back to the car, and low and behold, Auntie, all 67 years of her, and her best holo-holo hat, from best I could tell, was letting the air out of my tires….damn, karma is a mean bi%ch.
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.
I remember, small kid time, my mom comes home from Ala Moana and tells us this lolo went the wrong way and stole her parking spot so she went let the air out of his tires. 😆 😀
Any scoops from practice today?
Not a shining moment for me….but damn Auntie gave me a piece of her mind, and I was lucky she didn’t karanng me with one of the 20 hawaiian bracelets she was sporting.
#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.
BTW I’m a great driver and drive a BMW. Big deal. For those of you who drive a Mercedes, Volkswagen remember they were involved in killing Jews in the holocaust. Keep giving those murderers money by buying their products.
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
Wait now, BMW manufactured airplane engines for the Luftwaffe. Just saying.
There was a sporting chance against the Luftwaffe.
…not so much against the ovens.
Just saying.
I agree. Next thing you know we should boycott Becks.
k- pau dis. Next topic pleez. 😐
I agree. No need boycott Becks.
702:
Implants?
You’ve had yourself. . . .
. . . enhanced?
For whatever it is worth, Chow is still learning how to be a head coach. Hard to shake his assistant coach persona after all these years. I’m just hoping year 2 is better than year 1.
BIK
As the school session begins: Good thoughts to the students, teachers, administrators and the rest of the residents of Moore, OK.
#134: possibly one of the most ignorant things I’ve read here. Mitsubishi also created the Japanese Zero and other japanese companies also contributed to the imperial war machine that committed atrocities across the pacific theater. The B-17s that were used to firebomb dresden (arguably a war crime) and the B-29s that were used to firebomb tokyo (arguably a war crime that caused more civilian casualties than both atomic bombs) were manufactured by boeing. Should we boycott all of those companies because they’re “murderers”?
Holding current management and workers responsible for events that happened over 70 years ago and calling them “murderers” doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense. You like UH football, we get it. Get a grip, polymom.
I’m beginning to like the sound of Cisco Field by Ellison.
Polymom: Isn’t BMW (Bavarian Motor Works) a German brand also?
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.
ST right on, right on. Aloha, Kokua and Ohana – let it flow, let it flow. Make da kuleana pono!
#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.
oops watercress
Blogs comments are kind of like that game, Telephone.
Did you live in Aiea town because I went to the Aiea Soto mission japanese school. I only lasted 2 weeks because I was put in the 5th grade and I started 7th grade at Aiea Intermediate and was lost plus the sensei kept wacking me with his long pointer stick. I should have stuck it out I might have learned something with all the welts.
#149 from the plantation camp Mauka…we used to borrow a few…leaf tops and what was undahneath from Mr. Sumida.
I when to Alvah A Scott when I first arrived from Samoa. And skipped a grade after a test.
That was 1956.
And don’t forget those huge common mango trees in the back and the pipe with the ice cold spring water coming out to drink…now I feel mo old thinking about those plantation days
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
Primer 2
At the time I was enthralled by the tallest Keige in the room.
They sent me to grade 4.
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’…
Ended up in Iolani, got kicked out and ended up in St. Louis.
152..dats the one…by the old speedys, my grandparents had a monthly credit account….I abused that a bit too much.
Was Mr. Look the principal at Scott?
Never met the Palagi.
Shoko, Johnny Manziel and (fake) Independent Thinker are originating from the same location.
boola..we had tokens
Grandma was a teacher with Hilo Hattie in Waipahu. She would force me to go with the Japonese boys to go see Samurai movies (annotated) in order to improve my reading.
It worked..got faster not perfect.
The one thing I will not forget, is the fish and vegetable truck; with the dingalingaling bell.
#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.
Kawika, and the other theater in Waipahu, which played the other movies….???! wink
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.
Speaking of cars, I drive a Japanese car except they don’t sell them in Japan and is manufactured in the US.
I used to drive a German car except the Beemers are made in the US, Canada, Europe, China and a few other places.
I have been looking at the Ford Fusion (can’t afford the Aston Martin), a good old USA car, except it is manufactured in Mexico.
The great British car, the Jaguar and the Swedish SAAB and Volvo – made in India.
The most popular car in China seems to be the Buick – and guess where they are being manufactured!
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”.
Somewhat football related was that the Ursua family, and the one in the same, John Usua, who is on a mission, lived a block from Nagamines.
Looking forward to that young man John Ursua when he gets back from his mission. He looks like a terrific athlete.
Tommynui, the car du jour in China is an Audi. Just went recently for work, and in fact, they have a nickname for Audis, that roughly translated means–big boss.
Kawika, Nah Mr. Look was a chinese-hawaiian guy, was my principal in the 60s.
Oh, and you are right on point about Naeole. My good friend is Doug Semones, and once when I was visiting with him, I met Chris. My first impression, was that he was bigger than some of the guys I played with in college…Chris was in HS at the time.
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…
Dishima—Your right on point on that. But, if Doug can monopolize his Hawai’i connection and AZ connection, he can make some large improvements, and then go back to his alma mater. Back in the day. CalLu, was a haven for Div! transfers. I’m bummed he left Yale–I’m lonely without him……..
boo,
The challenge at Oxy is to find smart ballers with rich parents! Not like they sprouting up all around…
uppah campus…
this guy stole $12,000, allegedly, so they set his bail at $11,000. no wonder he made bail.
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.
waipahu theatre is now used as a church, wonder if the congregation know what kind of movies they played in that place.
Probably, people always complaining about sticky slippas.

The Audi – great German car – is also made in China, Indonesia, India etc.
The point being that car manufacturers are made all over the world and moneys spent on cars may be going to pay the employees of those car manufacturers in Mexico or South Carolina, Mississippi, China etc.
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.
Yes BMW is a German brand. But they were not used and production was halted due to the war. Their vehicles were not used to transport Jews to camps to be exterminated. Folks might laugh but social conscience I. Killing 7 million innocent people should not be mocked. I promised never to even ride in a Mercedes ever.
@ Tom Mui, I hear you. But only certain models of cars are made in Anerica. The Tundra and Prius are in Kentucky. The BMW X3 is made in Indiana. My son said Lexus is still made in Japan. The vin number would start with J and that’s how you know if that car was made in Japan.
Have a great night.
@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.
The Infiniti is a “high-class” Nissan but the brand is not sold in Japan. It is manufactured in the U.S., Mexico, Taiwan and a couple other places.
#193 – ChowisPau – so much for ST’s request for civility. Obviously you don’t know the meaning of the word.
…too funny
kifi.
…nuff said!
Practice time tomorrow? Mahalo
#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.
great observations Rodney. Your going to have good Karma for your positive thoughts!!!
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.
Trolls are talking to themselves again. Ignore them.
Practice tomorrow JBPHH starts at nine.
Talk football, please! Or at least U of H sports. Look up. Yes, all the way up. What does it say on the top? Warrior Beat!
I received my Na Koa parking pass in the mail today. No tickets yet.
Very close to 200 if some spam gets eaten…
Actually, I prefer the old days when we talked about food… and Cattle Calls to eat food… and tailgates to cook/eat food… at Karaoke Calls to eat food between songs… and where to find the the best (name your food) at the best price.
I’m getting hungry. Hey, DPK–we still gotta put out the Midnight Cattle Call. You drive. 🙂
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.
Best late night place to grab some grinds, after a game or after a night out? Closed down places okay too.
Zippy’s, Chunky’s, Rose City Diner (? at Restaurant Row, pencils in the ceiling)
So where’s the after-practice cc gonna be? 🙂
Palace Saimin.
Oyasumina-Tsai.
Not pencils.
Toothpicks blown thru straws.
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…
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…
…and bulla
hey whatever happened to kahuku grad tigi hill he was signed with uh this past recruiting season? anybody know?
On the topics of late night eateries, the ohana, old crew, or whoever, always hit-up Old Village Noodle House, to make sure we cross the threshold of sobriety before hitting the freeway. Can’t beat it…plus, there are some characters in there late at night.
Slayer, Tigi fell short academically. He can return to the team in the spring if he catches up.
Great Morning All!
Hoping that the HC is able to find more satisfaction with the offense’s execution at JBPHH.
btw, although I’ve eaten there only at early evening times I think Sikdorak (in the heart of Koreamoku) would be an ideal Tsaiko late-night venue. 24-hour, $19.95 all-you-can-eat yakiniku! 🙂
