Cheers to the visitors
During the walk-through practice in Florida for the season opener, Manoa chancellor Virginia Hinshaw asked: Where are the UH cheerleaders?
Somebody listened.
The cheerleaders will be making the trip to Fresno.
* * *
“Into the lion’s den,” offensive coordinator Ron Lee said of today’s walk-through in Fresno’s Bulldog Stadium.
The Warriors have not practiced on the Fresno campus since 2000, when they had a workout on a field in front of a row of fraternity houses. Let’s see, frat guys … Friday afternoon … well, it wasn’t a a pretty sight.
Coincidence or not, after that June Jones’ UH teams practiced at high school fields, community centers and, even, pro practice facilities before road games. They have never had a walk-through on Boise’s blue turf.
But that is changing under Greg McMackin, who believes the Warriors need to practice where they play — at least on the road. (Not sure why they don’t have walk-throughs at Aloha Stadium.)
In two weeks, they will have a walk-through on Boise’s field.
* * *
During the vonAppen era, “Ferd” and I decided to go on the Bulldog Stadium field before the pre-game warmups.
“You guys suck!” the fans yelled at us.
Wow we thought, fans here are tough. I mean, they were booing the visiting scribes.
We turned around.
It was the wives of the UH coaches jeering us.
* * *
My wife is a kind soul who volunteers with the foster program, helps our son’s high school and lets me take credit for catching the three mice she recently caught in our house. (“I think I did everything but jump on a chair and yell, “Eek.”) But the one thing that strains her politeness is when I ask: “Have you seen my belt?” To which she always responds, with a smirk: “Why do you need a belt?” Which is why I didn’t tell her that I forgot to pack a belt for this trip. I bought one in the San Francisco airport, although Robert Kekaula and Bobby Curran said, nearly in unison: “Why does it take you so long to buy a belt?” Do you think folks are trying to tell me I need better waist management?
First. And I read the entire blog post!
It’s quiet out here in Seoul on a Friday night. I think today was a Korean holiday. “Foundation Day” I think it’s called.
When auntie Virgie speaks, people listen. I’m happy for the cheerleaders that they get to make this trip to Fresno.
Hey, where’s everyone on da night shift?
Okay, ten terdy on a Friday night. TChahng’s got a cold. I’m going to bed. G’night all…
aloha bro,
just breaking your streak!
now that i know it is in the weeeeeeeeee hours of the morning….
ALOHA TSAIKOS, haha……
yes, Al, lyn and i are doing fine, back home on sunday. we are still employed, we only took 6 work days off sandwiched between 4 weekend days…..and it’s time to get back to work.
the natives have been restless in waikiki, also with the ship in port at pearl harbor, a lot of ‘activities’ going on at our respective hotels, oh well.
i don’t know what the weather forecast is for UH game, but it is not going to be nice for Weber State. 57 degrees and thundershowers, with it dropping to 44 degrees at night. it is a day game, so we’ll be getting drenched in the 57 degree warmth. can someone say, borrow BG’s flask for me? brrrrrrrrrrrrr
today is good daddy/favorite uncle day; going to the apartment to cook chili and rice with caesars salad. Hoke, Kaimakaua, Umbebayashi and Eastman will be very happy tonight and this weekend….good thing they have a big rice cooker already. i heard they might be selling chili plate lunches to the other local boyz, haha
all for now, hope you’re all getting your beauty rest….off to feed the beast some bfast in a few…..
a hui hou
One more day. I sure hope the ASPCA is not around Fresno tomorrow when the Warriors kick the dogs. Would not want any unnecessary citations.
Good morning and a happy Aloha Friday to everyone!!!
No kids today (yay!) just meetings all day (booooo!).
Hi Bulla and Boss!
I hope the Beast and friends have a great game today. Play nice and fair while going for the jugular.
aloha wafan,
whew, game is tomorrow, today is walk through and study hall. mahalo for the kind words, i will let the beast know.
the weather is going to be ugly, 57 degrees and thundershowers predicted for the 1 pm game…..ouch. ponchos are packed and ready for us.
a win would be spectacular, time to knock Montana off of their perch….we’ll see. have a good day, drink your coffee so you can stay awake 🙂
aloha to pride and my other XL brothers,
did some damage in reno when i went clothes shopping. found a great store and you should check it out at http://www.casualmale.com they have a lot of great clothes and the selection is really good.
i was trying to convince the store manager to open one in honolulu, shoot, i wanted to talk about franchising the operation….but he was not a decision maker…alas.
the clothes are great quality, name brands, and a very good selection. long story short, i am sending a box via UPS home, between lyn and i, we tried to save the Reno economy by ourselves, haha.
just a heads up for my fashionable XL brothers
Coach Bulla… Do Not Forget To protect the bears from the BEAST!
The clothes make the man! You are such a trend setter, a real fashion plate! I will follow your lead and dump *Omar* the tent maker!
haha,
Omar the tent man, yeah, didn’t have too many colors in his selection, mostly white in his racks, haha.
just a heads up for all the big boys, because i gotta admit, Big and Tall does not tickle my pickle at all.
The Beast will be unleashed, ‘Cats need the win to keep their season going, and looking for a great battle in 57 degree thundershowers…..can anyone sing, ‘Purple rain, purple rain….’ now that was a good movie.
have a great day my brother…..
Which reminds me of me trying to find (XXXL)t-shirts for my yard maintenance man recently. Not an easy task in my town.
I am an XL myself, so yes, I’m with you Mr. XL-Bulla.
It is great that the cheerleaders will be making the trip! I hope that they are treated well by the Fresno crowd…
And I’m with the coaches wives…..boooooo to all you media guys!!! you don’t know anything!!!!…nah!nah!!…just joking, ST. I am smiling from ear-to-ear over your entry above.
aloha mctruck,
with all of our XL population in hawaii, i thought this store would be a natural….some of my friends are XL at birth, and they don’t get smaller. not every male is a Madison Avenue model, or a Sunny Garcia photo icon…..hate to depress you DPK, but that is the truth.
just thought i would pass the info along to everyone. gives everyone a chance to get some new threads before the Tsaiko Christmas party, haha.
If I remember correctly, Chancellor Hinshaw was at UC-Davis before she came to UH. UC-Davis does not have a D-IA team, so her big intro to Warrior road trips was the Sugar Bowl, which is quite different than a normal road trip. I do not think that the cheerleaders normally make trips because of the expense, but if that money can be found (and NOT charged to the financially-strapped athletic department!) then that will be nice for the team.
mctruck,
I agree with you about ST’s entry–funny story about the Fresno booing!
KHNL story on the Warriors.
Garret,
could be like throwing meat to the lions by having the cheerleaders go to the dog pound….whew, maybe they’ll take their earplugs with them.
that place is notorious and well documented as one of the most brutal, fan friendly, opponent threatening stadiums…..
Warriors just need to play solid Warrior football and quiet the crowd.
IMUA WARRIORS
Bulla,
I agree about the Fresno crowd and how brutal they can be!
I’m sure that their fans and players will be trying to do all they can to get the Warriors upset, especially after UH had so many personal fouls against SJSU. The Warriors will have to remain focused, get an early lead, and discourage the crowd by playing solid football.
KITV notes about the game.
Visalia Delta-Times has an article about the game.
The Collegian (I think this is Fresno State’s student paper) has an article about the game.
The Fresno Bee of course has a story on the Warriors.
Washington Post has a quote from Colt.
morning gang!
Garret – #28, now kinda make sense that Inoke gets the start
hopefully there’s a large contingent of UH fans in Fresno tomorrow. When I went 2 years ago, there was. and hopefully they allow the UH cheerleaders to stand in front of our fans. we sat near the band and they weren’t very entertaining. they were angry though.
and so if THE Princess will be on the field playing in the Alumni game, who will do the game write up? or will she be taking mental notes as she scores or passes the ball to Kai to score? i wonder if there’s ever been a story done like this by one of the players themselves.
Sorry, but that was all I found via Google this morning.
ST,
Don’t worry about those hostile Fresno fans, they’re just jealous of Hawai’i. I would be bitter too if I lived in a crime-ridden, polluted, economically depressed, over taxed city in decline. (What a second, it sounds like where I live in L.A.)
Anyway, the Warriors will beat those Raisin Heads into Prune Juice!
Like I said. Score quickly, score at every opportunity and those so-called Fans disappear. It happened in 2006, we can make it happen in 2008!
King Katonk – lmffao, almost spit out my oatmeal, hehe
for those of you going to the Fresno game, the Hawaii Chamber of Commerce of Northern California is having their traditional tailgate before the game. I went 2 years ago, and it was pretty big. There was food and all you can drink beer for $10.
here’s their website for more info:
http://www.hccnc.com/
flyer here:
http://hccnc.com/graphics/UH_2008_ROAD_WARRIOR_TAILGATE.pdf
Kekoa – thanks for the VB invite but cannot make it, hopefully i no forget to watch the telecast between sets 2 & 3 instead of a potty break
Is “King Katonk” traversing da Grapevine into the armpit of CA?
chawan_cut – what? all you can drink beer? when is the next flight, wonder if Koakane heard about this tg
LOA ~ What about Murphey’s? Can?
Strategically placed, the Hawaii fans will be in the last two “P” sections of the stadium which is directly behind the FSU band…not good for the cheerleaders at all. This means the cheerleaders, when facing the UH fans, will be cheering directly at the FSU band and typically, the band will be rude and play every time our cheers begin. While I think it’s a great, the cheerleaders should travel to EVERY away game, they are going to have to develop some thick skin in a hurry for this one!
GO WARRIORS!!!!
Oh, and remember, cheer as loud as you can when we are on DEFENSE!!!!
oh, here’s pictures from the last time we were in fresno.
of the tailgate, the town and the game. WARNING! I take WAY too many photos.
http://www.sportshawaii.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=11079
Kekoa – no can, get function at d1’s #2 alma mater, unless i get lost trying to find it? hmmm
Garret – if you still out there, have a nice cruise, i hope they no run out of food 😆
Kekoa,
I would love to hit up the 99 to the “armpit” but my son has a football game tomorrow. He’s not the best player and he gets knocked around pretty good. But he still gets up after every play and doesn’t quit. I am very proud of his sportsmanship and his character; just like the Warriors.
Besides my doctor said I should refrain from breathing too much pesticides.
Aloha Kakahiaka!
Way to start the day!
bulla- now I feel better about my visit to the Dress Barn in Portland. I haven’t gotten new work clothes for a few years 😆
uh oh- what’s my cat playing with (it’s still dark in here)… dead mouse!
Good job, cats!!!
Good morning Tsaikos everywhere!
Thanks Garrett for the news.
Got lotsa work.
Esme Woooooooosssssssshhhh
Go Warriors!
Great Morning All!
Good news for the cheerleaders. Should be a character-building event for that group as they face a pretty hostile crowd.
Oh well, just keep in mind, when the game is over you get to pack up and come back to Hawaii…they get to go back and clean-up after a herd of cows! Now that’s bulls**t!
It’s Aloha Friday….do doo be doo….
Have a great day erryboddy! 😀
I’m glad the Chancellor spoke up and said that. She’s been at other universities and knows what real college sports environment are like. Instead of saying “we’re just Hawaii, and we can’t have stuff like that” she said, “WHY NOT? What can we do to make it happen???” I like it. I think she and JD will make significant changes in the years to come.
Out of the dark ages we go.
Good Morning and Happy Aloha Friday Tsaikoland. I hope everyone traveling to the game has good and safe travels.
Bulla,
As a XL guy myself, I am lucky I guess cause we have a casual male store here in Spokane. I usually don’t shop there unless I have to though.
That means if I need a dress shirt to fit my fat neck, thats where I go.
Aloha Friday!
Warriors win, come back to island home. Fresno loses…where is there for them to go? That’s a horrible thought!
Glad the cheerleaders will be there!
If you think the Dawg Pound will be rough on the Warriors, imagine what kind of reaction they will get from the Hawaii…..uh….hmmm…faithful, if they don’t play well.
Ahhhh, but doggonnit, it ain’t gonna happen. Every dog has it’s day, but it won’t be at the expense of the Warriors! The play book will be dog eared and wrinkly and the Warrior offense will show their bite. I’m not barking up the wrong tree either! It will be a dog fight, but Fresno’s bark is bigger than their bite and the Warrior mentality must be to be the badder junkyard dog! No bones to pick here, the Warriors know it will be ruff and they will unleash their mana!
Have a good day everyone!
Go Warriors!
Good Morning Tsaikos!!
It appears that Fresno St is not to hospitable to the visiting teams. I hope the fans don’t taunt us too much, that would be very unsportsmanlike.
I better correct it now before the grammar police does…
not too hospitable
Good Morning Tsaikos and Tsaikettes!
WE’RE HERE!!!!!
Off to make our signs and plan our taunts for the Fresno fans! J/K!
Have to go shopping and then Julia and I are dragging Ronnie to Disneyland for fun, fun, and more fun. Okay, maybe not for Ronnie since she doesn’t like crowds, but Julia says too bad since she is our hostess.
And who’s the grammar police Stretch?
hey hey hey its aloha friday in the 808 state. weekend is here and where ever you at have a good one.

Well, we arrived in beautiful Fresno.
“Ferd” has been here since Sunday.
The weather is very nice, in the 60s, although “Ferd” told us it was in the 90s. I guess he was standing on his head at the time.
The players are still asleep. But I saw Lumpkin and Aranda in the lobby.
And the trainers are going to the airport to get a van.
oh sorry my bad ment ashley

when you comming back so I can beat you at darts again. neva mind my addah good patnah in calafrisco.

ST – go make money!!
In between games 2 & 3 of the Women’s Volleyball game on Friday October 10, the 2007 WAC Champion Women’s Softball team will be presented with their long overdue Bracelets. The Tsaikos, led by Pomai, pulled together and were able to fund the cost of these bracelets. Let’s continue to support the women and show up for this event.
I will be putting in the order today for 20 tickets at $8 each. We still have some open seats so if anyone wants to join us, send me an email at stretch6592 at yahoo
mornin tsaikos,
out of curiosity, Graunke hurt his hand right? But the article this morning said Rolovich sees that Graunke doesnt have 100% arm strength. Did Tyler hurt his arm at the last game in addition to his wrist area?
Basketball news for fans of Anthony Carter:
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3623836
It will be interesting to see if anything like this does happen. As a Pacers fan, I say good riddance to Tinsley, but I don’t want him taking over A.C.’s job …
Bulla.
Thanks for the heads up on the store for the tall and svelte. Now I have a reason to go to Reno.
Went to a store in San Francisco once and felt out of place. There were about twenty other customers in the store at the time, and I was the only one under 6 feet 7 inches tall. Even the staff were all around 6-8 to 6-11. Didn’t have many of the svelte customers like me.
Bulla, is that the Kaimikaua from Las Vegas, who’s Uncle is the mayor of a city in Hawaii?
koakane,
ok, i get now.
and yeah, it was $10, but i think they ran out. so hopefully they planned better this year.
stretch and the wahine vball fans going tonight. have fun!
another wet, cold, rainy day here in the pnw.
Chawan – it is NEXT Friday, not tonight. I just had to send in the order form today.
Greetings and Blessings Warrior Nation! 🙂
Mr. Tsai –
If I recall correctly, isn’t Fresno the place with the open air rooftop broadcast booth? Ya know, the one that’s reserved for the Hawai’i TV broadcast crew? That’s the Calf Puppies for ya, always tring to be soooo gracious to visitors…
GO WARRIORS!!!

Herr Buller –
Best of luck to the “Wild Snow Beast” this week. We know he’ll do us all proud. BTW- When you open your “Casual Male” franchise here, you’ll be happy to know that I’ll be available for modeling gigs if you need a very distinctive looking “Big and Casual” kind of guy… 😆
“trying” not “tring” sorry
oh, and you think we have qb issues? listening to the radio here, wash st. cougar coach was quoted as saying, we only have 3 qbs (with the 2 or 3 injuries to the starters). its hard to have a scout/practice team. he said that he’s hoping there’s some kid that’s going to school that just happened to have played in HS. he was also seen at a frat football game to see if there was talent there.
Aloha Kakahiaka!!!
Great to be home, but I have to come to my Mom’s to get on a ‘puter for now. Gotta lurk & go. Lots to do.
Sitting here listening to my Mom singing Hawaiian song karaoke… ah, home…
GO WARRIORS!!!
stretch,
i never learn how for read good. sorry.
Heyyyy, Tsaiko peeps!
Morning all,
BEEEG Congrats !!! to Esme on the remodeled Moms website…Looking real good…
Did the Warriors take a charter to Oakland?
GO Warriors !!!
So with this game against Fresno, we should get the receivers to step it up a little bit. Study your plays, watch a lot of film, visualize the yourself running routes against all of the scenarios that you anticipate you will face on Saturday. Be as mentally prepared as you can. Prepare for everything. Mentally prepare, prepare, prepare.
Use your imagination and believe that the four of you are the best four receivers that have ever played for Hawaii. Make yourself believe that, and then play that way. Last year is gone, those guys are gone. Don’t listen to what everyone says about your inexperience. You decide for yourself who and what you want to be. If you want to be inexperienced and play tentatively, then that’s what you will be. If you want to be prepared, and play with confidence and swagger, then that’s what you will do.
Go in with the attitude that you are the kings and Fresno needs to knock you down.
1 – Expect to win.
2 – Expect to be in a dogfight.
3 – Expect that at sometime during the game, winning will appear to be impossible.
4 – Expect to win the game at the end of the fourth quarter.
Remember, expect to win. Toss that around in your head and meditate on that. What does it mean to expect to win. Don’t hope, or wish. or determine, but expect…to win.
Good morning gang…have to Esme today as I am soon off to the BIG BIG Island….or as bulla calls it “America” MWHAHAHAHAHAA….for the next two weeks….
Hope everyone has fun at Murphy’s tomorrow….and KK, I think Harbor Court parking is $3 all day…I could be wrong…and there are a couple of municipal lots around the area that aren’t bad…..
Okay…gotta run errands before I leave tomorrow…maybe check in later if I have time….
See you guys in a couple of weeks.
Esme and out ……wooosh
Aloha, Bulla,
Hope Da Beast has a great game. Weber is playing NAU Oct. 25th, but it’ll be in the Skydome. Heard that it’s getting colder in Flagstaff.
Well, this is unique: The defensive line is meeting in the lobby of the hotel. Apparently whoever booked this hotel did not take into account the number of meeting rooms.
I suppose they could go to the convention center across the street, but, well, this is a rough area …
Stephen is moonlighting at the San Francisco mint?
MeiLing,
Servco does the servicing.
Pride.,
Words of wisdom. Good stuff.
Fresno is a rough area…
I’l be heading to Table Mountain Casino tonight, well, as soon as Rich2176 can get to Fresno.
My eldest kid is coming down for the game, too.
I think it’s going to rain.
Try out some of that visualization stuff that Pride. is talking about.
Hey, it’s better than sending out e-mails for Microsloth and EhGoYell.
ST – make sure your panties stay dry
i went to a casino last weekend. had a nice seafood buffet and then donated to the tribal relief fund.
Fresno State frat houses huh?
Any screwdrivers found strewn about on the field???
Good Friday morning Tsaikos & Tsaikettes, Lurkers & Lurkettes!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LURKER SAMUEL! You deserve all the best, have a wonderful day!!! Happy lurking!
Good to hear about the cheerleaders going to lead cheers for our team tomorrow.
Will Virginia Hinshaw next ask about the band? Would cost lotsa kala but so cool to see at least partial musical representation at the away games too.
.
.
Happy safe flight Scribes! lol 😉
Whoops, today is Friday so Scribes are already there…
Well, happy and safe travels on and around the mainland while you’re there…
::):
Aloha kakahiaka!
TGIF!
GO WARRIORS!
chawan – you dated a tribal woman?
Any new plays added to the Warrior playbook this weekend or will there be a stripped down version to keep things simple?
Either way, keep Pride.’s words in mind and go out there and kick some butt.
No last minute CC today?
Phil Steele has his forecast for the game:
what? no.
i donated to the video poker machine. not sure who it then went to.
esme-ing…
Sure chawan… 😉
Interesting that ESPN may be setting up a college network to compete against rivals. They will do the big-name schools first, but it will be curious to see which of the local reporters they give big offers to when they expand to cover the Warriors.
ESPN already has sites up for Ohio State, Oklahoma, USC, Florida, South Carolina, and Miami. So, ESPN has been moving pretty quickly with this!
Garret,
You would think they could just buy Rivals.
I can see it now… first they create their own “Rival, Rivals-like site” and subsequently “Rivals” popularity and value drops significantly so that Googles takes interest and buys Rivals out and that act alone revitalizes Rivals and puts them back at the top of all searches.
Phew… I think my fingers just ran out of breath.
Putting in a plug with the coaches to use Corey Parades more as a running back.
5′ 11″ @ 230#s, “soft hands” to catch passes, and UNDER 4.5 speed.
Current position on special teams as a “wedge buster” on kick off.
We want Ray!
We want Ray!
We want Ray!
Hisatake, of course
madeinhawaii,
Maybe rivals turn them down? Anyway, ESPN has been putting some serious money behind this effort, so it will be interesting to see how things are in a year.
The comment section in the article I posted mentioned that ESPN also added Auburn.
homey,
no pocahontas story here.
ok, you can go crazy with that one.
Hmmmm! Maybe I need to some traveling after all. Although I knew that California had a lottery, I had no idea that there was casino gambling as well. Too bad it takes money to travel to places where one can make )or lose) money so quickly.
And a Disneyland in Fresno!?! Times have really changed!!]
Maybe I shouldn’t have left that job pimping for the tobacco industry after all.
********
RE MURPHY’S parking tomorrow: Other nearby parking – the public parking lot at the corner of Bethel/Nimitz/Queen – $3 max for the entire day on weekends. It’s about a block away from Murphy’s
NA KOA LUNCHEON AND CALL THE COACH SHOW:
Will there be a Na Koa Luncheon this Monday? I thought that there weren’t any immediately following away games. SteveM has it listed, but is it happening?
Caught an ad yesterday for the Call the Coach Show to be held on WEDNESDAY, OTOBER 8, and not on the regular Tuesday.. Please note that in your calendars.
DrDoc and I will use the event to celebrate our natales on 10/7 & 10/9 since we always split the diff.
BIG CHEER TO STRETCH FOR MAKING THE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE OCTOBER 10 VOLLEYBALL TICKETS !!
chawan – I’m more of a Sacagawea fan. Plus she helped a couple of explorers in the PNW, where you are right now and she is also on the dollar coin that only the post office and carnival uses.
d1 and Stretch – Sorry about the hope but duty calls…
For reals gotta esme now…rendezvous is soon.
Whoops!!
Maybe I need to some traveling after all = Maybe I need to do some traveling after all.
)or lose) = (or lose)
homey,
you are correct. I think she helped out Lewis & Clark.
see Jason, we’re more than just ics guys. we know our history.
homey – see you back in 5 minutes
Yeah…
Phil Steele also listed Kainoa LaCount as the #1 LT coming into 2008 for UH…. I’m sure he does his homework 🙄
5 minutes?!?
No one said romance was involved!!!
I was assured that Kainoa LaCount is being counted on for the spring.
Then again, UH also is recruiting two JC offensive linemen.
Speaking of which, can anyone recall a JC transfer who became an All-WAc offensive lineman for UH?
I think Donovan was a transfer, but I’m not sure if he was All-WAC.
ST- Try ask JD
there.
A waist is a terrible thing to mind.
…and with that, I’m off to lunch.
Any idea why Ray Hisatake is not getting playing time?
this aint P.E. football!
Hi ST — what is there to do in Fresno today? Is Ferd still looking for more local color background?
BTW — can everyone see my post #117, which says “Your comment is awaiting moderation.” Just wondering, since it has a number and all…. 😕
maybe.. .or they could have been trying to tell you to stop ‘waisting’ time … OR more likely, wanting to say something like…”No more your size, already…let’s go try someplace else.” — all the while trying to be exeedingly polite about it. No?
My late mother would have said… “It’s a sign… diet or find bigger cows.” Thank goodness cows come in different sizes.
SteveM…. at #117 I only see a comment by D1shima
d1:
Only the Air Force and Navy have height/weight restrictions for pilot training and submariners.
David Robinson was 6′ 4″ when he entered Annapolis, but grew and could not apply for pilot or submarine duty. In his case, as with the other academies, they will allow a cadet to complete school and they determine how they can be best placed.

“I s**t in the lion’s den” says Kazz.

Afternoon Tsaikos!
ST: I think Jim Donovan was 2nd team All-WAC.
Kazz: #129 – thanks for the laugh!
GO WARRIORS!
cavewarrior,
Sorry, I went nai-nai soon after I posted last night. But hey, thanks for the kudos about the remodeled moms site. It’s a radical change, but I think the moms are having fun with it.
trapt music. who wanna die wanna live in the sky, hope to live in the sky. i bet u n**** think im living it up, but forget how many meals i got, what u doin with that, it’s a catch 22 either u lose or you lose. all dem police got that warrant for me, OG’s say i need to learn to be patient. try to keep for myself while they got smiles on their faces.
go warriors.
One day Homey’s prediction will be dead on!
Whoosh!
“Same play as Smoot’s interception, Colt Brennan did a heckuva Donovan McNabb impersonation leading the scout team, scrambling to his right away from pressure and then turning and throwing the ball the whole way across the field to where Smoot intercepted it. I certainly hope the interception is an accurate part of the impersonation as well, not just the evasiveness.”

Woosh!
Welcome home, MeiLing!
HAVE FUN, ROB25 and RONNIE!!!
HiHo!
you never know what you know dang dem warriors be sick, all dem fans be cheering till noke throws a pick. hope the D can rise and put a stop to dem dawgs, all the while doing all things that’s within da law. sure dem dawgs be runnin’ and dem dawg be quick, but all da boys need is 44 and solly be sick and stickum.
go warriors.
Hi, everybody,
It’s a great day, my local carrier has the game on gameplan and the world is in order. I have high hopes that the light will come on tonight in the Offense Warriors heads, Funaki avoids mistakes and the defense plays ferocious.
Should Funaki faulter again, I hope the coaches don’t wait too long to put Alex in, if he actually is the back up. With our coaches you never know.
With Graunke I think his arm has a little weakened, due to lack of practice time. I hope that after this week he’s able to practice full on. He’s still the most experienced.
I sincerely hope that Funaki will be able to translate practice into the game. I don’t know why, but I have actually a good feeling about this game.
GO, WARRIORS!!!!
Jim Donovan was a honorable mention All-WAC offensive guard.
Tsaikos, they’re everywhere.
FT – I don’t think Graunke arm is weak by lack of practice time. Either he tweaked it by altering his throwing motion to compensate for his hand/thumb injury or he just can’t grasp the ball effectively to make a strong throw.
Kazz – one day…
ST – if it makes you feel better, I use a belt too.
He played next to another All-WAC olineman named Jesse Sapolu(Farrington Grad).
Go Governors.
Hello everyone,
it’s Friday, the calm before the storm. Go Warriors!
Is it Saturday yet.
the things men say just so they can go to a casino and blow some dollars…..
“My wife is a kind soul….”
i mean really………
Homey..
The difference is, ST uses it to hold up his pants, and not as part of a leather mask, garter, whip, corset, and belt ensemble.
Hi sa ta ke
Hi sa ta ke
Hi sa ta ke
and wasn’t there another guy who blogs here on a regular basis? who was an all wac olineman.
470 yards of offense last week and only 17 points. We are theeees —>|<— close to putting it all together.
MIH – ST uses it that same way I do! BTW, who had 470 yards offense and only scored 17 points?
homey….great assessment of graunke’s arm situation. altho, the lack of practice would have some diminishing returns on the arm strength, but, i agree it is more to do with his gripping or lack of proper gripping of the football. the result is his over or under compensation in his throwing mechanics and we know the outcome of it.
it is wise that he rest his wrist, thumb, etc.
but i still say that he should seek proven unconventional treatments that have been successful in orient for decades. i’ll take him to a practioner myself and pay for it.
whatta you got to lose?
Homey..
Oops… my bad …. coulda sworn I read 470… somewhere up there.. more like ALMOST 400 eh? But still… even with 400 we would have won most of the games last season.
i think that one of the more consistent olinemen this year has got to be, clarence “lafu” tuioti-mariner
al – You talking asian massage? In regards to the arm I was just giving it the old baseball perspective.
MIH – Darn turnovers…
SteveM – what was in your #117 post? Links? If so, then you put in too much.
i really believe that we will cover the spread this week.
against all odds!
wait, wait.
eh, i expect us to cover the spread.
I agree with al. Lafu has been my favorite so far.
homey….no not a massage. i know you when make nice-nice at lunch today, but, take your mind away from what could be this weekend.
i talking about old fashion kiatsu, never to be confused with shiatsu. the former resets the nerves and aligns the arteries such that blood flows to heal, nerves are back in order, and one more thing, resetting any bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilage and the like so the bugga stay work again.
sure several minutes of pain akin to childbirth but it works all the time.
all the time.
The almighty NCAA would not like this. 🙄
labbie,
the buggah is using his gifts properly.
short guy, he gets under and lifts his opponent rendering the legs useless.
I love it when he pulls. He threw that block that springed Pilares loose for one of the tds.
I miss AhSoon tho.
al – you mean like how Miyagi-san when fix Daniel-san so Daniel-san could do the swan move and beat his opponent. Ah soooooo…
homey,
(RE: Graunke) I like your version, makes sense.
swan move? Was it a swan or a crane? Methinks Swans have short legs.
FT – Either that or somebody slammed him against the wall in the locker room or he slipped on soap in the shower (they do have soap right) and fell on his wrist or he was trying to win “who can throw the ball the farthest contest” and over extended himself or the sack in the last game made his arm and shoulder go limp.
kazz…..as his uncle it would be permissable. besides i am not a member of the booster club na koa. i am tsaiko. they don’t recognize us remember?
I think it was the crane.
Cincy game on now.
Hey, we’re back from one of the quickest walk-throughs. More like a sprint-through.
MIH – I call it the swan cause I think Daniel-san was a wimp. Wax on Wax off and WTF he gets a classic car!
crane i am sure.
By all accounts and from the lack of mention I assume Lafu is 100% for tomorrow?
I gasped when we was down on the turf for a while last week.
ST – What is the mood of the team? Ready for some action?
Homey,
“Look eye, ALWAYS LOOK EYE!!!”
Classic line. Karate Kid II filmed in Kaneohe … errr I mean “Okinawa” was my favorite.
Hmmm… I didn’t know Okinawa had their own version of “Chinaman’s Hat” as well. 😉 😆
homey,
You just jealous. Remember, he had to paint house, too.
Hey how you figa? If dey neveh wen go get those 6 turnovers and 115 yards of penalties, how many yards would Hawaii have taken from SJSU last week?
Kazz – I just can’t picture you gasping. I may have to start calling you Kazz-san.
Kazz,
I thought your favorite line was…
“If can can.. if no can….. still can! “
ah….somebody wants to go to a casino.
so, ST, whats the mood of our warriors?
are they ready?
are they intense?
are they expecting to kick a**?
Kazz – Too bad Daniel-san never face Zatoichi.
MIH – Let’s see…take away the turnovers…minimal penalties…I’d say around 537 yards of total offense.
al – sheesh you really think like me don’t you!
Al:
Team is in a good mood.
Very loose.
. Yup. Put two. But I’m still waiting for someone to “moderate”… if there such a person besides ST (who probably never got the message) 😡
Anyway, first link was to the NA KOA site where they have a .pdf of their events….like lunch dates…
http://www.nakoa.org/pages/calendar.html
oops homey already said that.
we must have ate the same lunch?
me. ashitebichi. mom made.
Homey,
I haven’t heard much this past week about how the mood of the team is. I did catch Pilares on the news earlier in the week saying how “it’s a good time to be on this team because the only way we can go is up”.
Call it what you like, but if that is a true representation of what the WHOLE team is feeling then we are good to go for tomorrow. As far as intensity goes, it’s in Fresno State so for those that haven’t been living under a rock for the past few years, they will be in for a dog fight.
Fresno State won’t have to do much to try to bait us in committing offensive fouls so cooler heads must prevail. Pat Hill is a respectable man, but no one should expect him to tell his players to “just play the game”. They had to watch us trample them in 06 and run the table last season, so they want this win as bad as we do.
If we control turnovers and personal fouls we can win this game.
Second link…
Tracy Nishibun, creator of the Local Grinds quizzes, has his own web site now: http://www.theidquiz.net.
Get the new quizzes, answers, and a lot more at his site. Maybe we can suggest a Tsai-ko tailgate fuud quiz… 😕
Good Friday afternoon Tsai-kos!
Way off-topic.
Costco gas 3.73 regular.
Bet the lines are extra loooooong.
al – for amusement purposes only, right?
What’s the parking situation like for the area around Bulldog Stadium tomorrow?
Is there enough parking nearby the stadium…..or would one showing up about an hour before kickoff have to venture into the wilderness/areas unknown, a la the Oregon State game?
Kazz,
Made,
I get plenny favorite lines:
“No huhu, jus’ do like I do”
“Why are you eating my sesame cake? STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE!!” – from the movie “Congo”
“Yes! Yes! F**K YOU TOO” – from the greatest comedy movie in the history of time “Coming To America”
“No Shibai, VOTE TAKAI”
“We’re going to a bowl game over my dead body”
“Monteilh can’t hit as hard as me” – Rich Miano on Keao Monteilh 😉
The list goes on and on…
darn it.. forgot to close the blockquote…
SteveM – yep, it’s the amount of links you posted.
al – I had Chinese.
Kazz – FSU is gonna come out firing. The Warriors just have to do the same but use bigger bullets and have more ammunition.
Speaking of the food quiz, I still cannot visually identify what was in the tray Al was carrying around at the last tailgate. I’ve tentatively finished the photo page of the SJSU tailgate. Click here.
BYU-Utah State game on right now.
BYU up 14-0 with 5:00 left in first quarter.
Can watch a stream of the game on BYU TV.
http://www.byu.tv
SteveM – it goes quack quack.
Ohhh and I forgot my personal creations:
“Give it 808%”
“DEFEND HONOR, ENJOY HUMILITY, AND PREPARE FOR VICTORY”

Me so horny. Me love you long time.
CRW – thanks for the link. I have some “interest” in this game.
Utah State is playing like Hawaii – 3 turnovers in the 1st Q. Oh, and they also just got a personal foul…. now give up a touchdown
BYU up 24-0 pending extra point. Utah State with 3 turnovers.
STILL 1:23 left in the first quarter.
Now 24-0 BYU.
jm2375….sorry, i was on the phone trying to see how much home equity i had left.
oh, oh, yah amusement only.
homey
i told you before great minds are alike.
pretty soon the engineer going catch up to our level.
btw, i thought da wifey was okinawan?
spoilers…….i was recording the byu game for later enjoyment. but, no we got some guys just like that lady who used to live here and blurt out the scores.
and there are two of you.
stevem…..aflac?
CRW – ssshhhhhhhh, no tell al but BYU is up 24-0 start of the 2nd Q.
stevem……chinese quackers?
Ed Riewerts from Chabot College made All-WAC in 1980.
His two guards made him look like an All-American. Mwahahahah.
i see nothing.
i hear nothing.
just got back from cutting wood…
anybody know what the BYU and UTAH score is?
Stretch: Bwahahaha!
al, kind of hard to bite my tongue, eh? I’ll try, but no guarantees. 🙂
al – I knew you would say that…the btw part.
if that lady thought her life was boring before just think how boring it must be now!
Kahuku vs. Farrington – Game on OC16 tonight. Any future Warriors on those teams?
SteveM-
I think it was duck in al’s pan…
Is that because he had to carry the load of the other two guys?? Instead of blocking one man, he had to somehow block 2 when the guard fell down due to poor footwork??
Why is it that whenever I see homey’s name now, I feel like whistling?
Pride. – even though not on the offensive side but just gotta give a shout out to Andrew Moody, honorable mention and 2nd team all-wac in ’80 and ’81.
Pomai-
Yay, another chance to see how our beloved Warriors have progressed!
UH 24: FSU 21 – UHfan808
.
.
Go Warriors!!!!!
whoeee….dem marauders stick together no?
al – Would have more Mauraders playing college ball back in the day but we never had the brains. We couldn’t even spell SAT.
See can’t even spell Marauders!
Eh no get smart Stretch. Next time I see you, all of your green bottles going be O’Doul’s.
Nah seriously, I couldn’t understand why that Sapolu guy kept falling down. Talk about being uncoordinated.
ummmm UHfan808…text message?
Whoa CRW – you see that interception thrown by BYU??
SteveM ~ One of the gems contained in the box that Al was carrying in to the t-gate Cabana set off my “Roast Duck” detector. Needless to say, it was the most dee-licious duckie I had tasted since last Thursday.
(I could hear the AFLAC duck screaming for mercy).
today’s musings……
no more gigi but now have uhfan808.
used to have a friend named mih
homey is very intelligent
engineers don’t work

stevem still figuring out what in pan
can’t believe stevem went to mckinley hs
ST knows how to smooze the wife
ST now in casino
is dan kelly kicking for Utah State??
Stretch: I did. One of the announcers was talking about Max Hall’s TD-INT ratio or something like that and how it’s been very good this season. Talk about bachi.
kekoa…..try as you may. whooosh. right over his head.
eh wait. the buggah is crashed on his keyboards again.

pride.
was sapolu falling down because he was clumsy or was the tackle next to him constantly tripping him?
…and saying, “good for you. you showoff!”
al – You sure muse a lot.
g-nalo – you drive a train too?!?! choo-chooooo!
homey….and that was only the stuff that the blog filter would allow.
Stretch, CRW, and MIH . . .
You guys are not very nice. But you are very funny!
Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! cough! cough! gasp . . .heh.
Al . . .
Use white out on the screen when the scores come up. That way you will not see them.
Hey, just trying to help.
al – looks like it is be 24-0 halftime. (just missed a FG) No worry, I not going tell you WHO is winning….
g-nalo,
so you going back work or what?
Cincy 15.. Marshal 3 2nd qtr
g-nalo – you drive a train too?!?! choo-chooooo!
intelligence level of engineers not high like Marauders……Al – what is Homey talking about?
Halftime in the BYU-Utah State game.
Looks like Cincinnati will be taking a lead into halftime against Marshall.
g-nalo,
so you going back work or what?
Cincy 15.. Marshal 3 2nd qtr
aiyaaa………………oh yea yeah, i’m NOT the one.
go warriors!
Hey, anyone know the BYU/Utah State Score???
I heard it was 24 – 0 BYU in the 2nd quarter but didn’t want to say anything just in case people were recording the game so I’ll be quiet….
Ooops….MWAHAHAHHAHAHA
UH dlinelmen will need to be careful. Cincy olineman called for chop block early in game.
Cincy got 2 points by blocking Marshall punt which went into the endzone.
So, what’s been going on today??? Just finished some errands before I leave…I hate packing….LOL
engineers
trains
who operates the choo choo train?
hmmmm. is stevem an engineer too?
(j)j
who needs friends?
Hey, let’s be nice to engineers.
Without them, who would take notes when reporters show up late for practice?
(J)J – Have a fun trip and don’t forget to bring protection.
Start of second half in BYU-Utah State game.
FYI, al: No change in score during halftime. Bwahahahaha! 🙂
ST – I didn’t know sj and myki were engineers. They fit the profile, the take notes at practice, give them to you and they don’t work…..
i wonder when st is gonna announce those jc commits?
perhaps they are on the sideline tomw?
nope, they won’t be there. they have a game tomw, too.
engineers
trains
who operates the choo choo train?
hmmmm. is stevem an engineer too?
haaaa, i miss a lot of things but i did get that one……..nevah mind Al.
ST – and how would you pass out stickers without an Engineer??!!
choo choooo!
Got the pillow and blanket in the backseat of the car; ready for tomorrow’s long drive. I’m not staying in Fresno; just driving in for the game, then leaving town afterwards. Will pull over at a rest stop and sleep if I get tired on the drive home.
Stretch I guess your last week’s project is complete…if not watching practice, watching TV- we all should have been engineers….lots of workers at pearl harbor keep telling me that the engineers there rarely work and what they do the regular worker do it at less cost….
(J)J – Have a fun trip and don’t forget to bring protection.
jj – yeah have a FUN trip…….uh…..ur……trip(s)?
Turnovers galore in the BYU-Utah State game.
crw…..have a safe drive over and back. maybe you should hole up at one of those ranches in the desert.
Stretch I guess your last week’s project is complete…if not watching practice, watching TV- we all should have been engineers….lots of workers at pearl harbor keep telling me that the engineers there rarely work and what they do the regular worker do it at less cost….
good point Ralph…..if an Engineer doesn’t work for 6 hours and a regular worker doesn’t work for 6 hours, the regular worker IS cheaper. j/k
I’m awake now…thanks for the hints everyone. I’ll go put in a caption on the picture later: “quack quack aflac roast duck with chinese quakers” 😕
Al — when I get younger, I might be an engineer…
Hey… c’mon guy.. some of my best friends are engineers…
…….bbbb…..
……wwww…..
…aaaaaaaa….
.hhhhhhhhhhhh…..
aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!hhhhhh!!
Okay okay.. so I lie!
I have a cousin who majored in engineering.
10 years later he was still majoring in engineering…
20 years later he is still without his degree…
The guy needs some major re-engineering.
I should have been an engineer. Not!!!
jojo…you have to be able to do math ..mwhahahahhaaha
Homey – protection??? For what??? It’s just a conference….Tampa is a safe city from what I hear….MWAHAHAHHAHA
Inoke spelled backward is ekoni.
jojo…you have to be able to do math ..mwhahahahhaaha
nah, just need a simple calculator and know what the “+” and “-” buttons are for……………oh!
have a good evening and a great win tomorrow!
chooo choooooooo!
racecar spelled backward is racecar.
Ekoni Furukake… Yeah I can vision the ESPN commentators saying this during the Boise State game. 🙄

jojo + fuud = 🙂
nah, jojo. stay the way you are. we like you better that way.
so when you going eat fuud with us peasants?
so i am just saying……
what is ekoni?
i forgot to mention this before……
that new weight room at farrington hs which was funded by a former student was named not after himself the donor of 250K but rather to a very deserving George Kamau, who has been a trainer for the atlhletic program at farrington hs for over 40 years!!!
uncle George is most deserving and an even more wonderful man at that. if you played football at farrington you know uncle george.
his son keoki is in the nfl as a trainer, too.

Jason – thanks for the list. I was barely walking when those guys were winning awards in the late 70’s. That was a loooooooong time ago….
Congratulations to everyone on that list!!
koakane – NOTHING!!
Pretty impressive what those guys have done after their football careers, too. You got a wise blogger, a UH athletic director, a Kaua‘i mayoral candidate, a football coach/athletic director/pastor/almost World’s Strongest Man (yikes!), an agent, a broadcaster/lawyer, a construction company owner, a successful entrepreneur, a jiu jitsu champion — and those are just the ones I recognize!
Colorado is having its homecoming game tomorrow and they sure didn’t pick a pushover like most teams pick for homecoming…Texas will play at Colorado tomorrow. For their homecoming game last year, Colorado fell behind 24-7 and then came back to beat #3 Oklahoma 27-24!
My guess is that Texas spoils Dan Hawkins’ homecoming game, winning by at least 20 points…
Dallas Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones responded to Terrell Owens’ complaint that they weren’t throwing the ball enough to him (even though they try to throw to him something like 15-20 times per game)…instead of telling Owens to think of what is best for the team, Jerry Jones said that they will force the ball Owens way even if he’s double covered.
Jason,
That list of OL was *very* impressive!
Samoa News article about Ikaika Malloe’s recruiting trip to Samoa.
I think Warren Sapp needs to talk to Jerry Jones about meddling owners. That’s 1990s football! 😉
Another article mentions coach Malloe.
tall person WUSSSSS can he’s chains rattling
he’s = hear
Garret — I saw your cruise listed as “sold out” yesterday. One of the best deals in the area. A tip on using the ship internet on your laptop (I assume the satellite systems are similar)–either use two browsers or two separate windows– the first to initiate connection and load their interface page/menus. As the interface page is loading, open the second page which is aimed at the blog.
This blogware has so much overhead it will take a while to load anyway, but you might save 30 seconds or so with this technique. Then I used to save the blog web page for reading off-line and copy-paste my prepared comment, not waiting for the refresh in most cases. Each session took around 4 minutes…and when you consider the cost of 75 cents per minute, the time adds up…
Garret,
re#19: as an academic type with friends at public universities, you know there’s no money for this.
Breaking News: I guess there’s no shrinking glove. O.J. was found guilty of all charges.
Wow, and that was 13 years to the day when he was acquitted.
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=3624079
That should read, guilty on all charges.
SteveM,
Thank you for that suggestion! I think that there is a sale on the first day and it will come out to 50 cents per minute with 10 minutes free…but even at that reduced price every minute saved will be important! The only thing I won’t be able to do is search around for articles…I will download e-mail, the blog, and upload any e-mails that I have saved.
I didn’t realize that our cruise was sold out! I’m happy that I paid less than the airline employee’s discounted price–my sister works for Hawaiian so I was checking fares. With 13 people in our travel party, that savings really adds up!
OZ,
Some public Universities have the money for sending cheerleaders, many do not. My post was just that I hope that money from outside the Athletic budget is being used to send the cheerleaders, since I don’t want Chancellor Hinshaw to go to Jim Donovan after the fiscal year is over and demand cuts if JD has to include those type of expenses in the budget.
Jason,
13 years to the day…what a coincidence!
SteveM,
If the connection on the ship is slow and the blog’s bloatware takes too long to load, I just won’t be able to check the blog. I will read the stories in the local papers, plus will focus most of my paid internet access time on work e-mail.
I hope that the IT guys don’t mess with the blog and make it too slow again!
For Kahuku & Farrington Fans. The score at the half is tied at 6. Both teams missed their PAT. Weight Room dedication clip coming up…
Here on da Wessai, Mililani has a very slim lead at the half over Kapolei.
Since nobody is posting now, I’m going to do free play links. Please ignore my next 5 posts if you do not want the off-topic stuff.
More than 200,000 websites have been found to have been compromised by criminal gangs. The criminals use those sites to attack users’ PCs. One of the websites is owned by the US Postal Service!
Wow, in Russia the 16 GB iPhone costs $1100 *with* a contract!
Interesting that this prison system in Florida will soon have a cell-phone sniffing dogs. I’ve read that cell phone use is a problem in prisons,but never realized that a dog could be trained to smell cell phones.
Sporting News is excited that Punch Out! is coming to the Wii. I’m more interested in the version of Tetris that works with the Wii Fit board!
Amazing that this mother and daughter advertised on Craiglist their, um, services…both of them for their customers. And the daughter’s 3 young kids would be sent unsupervised to the sidewalk to wait for them to be done!

You changed your mind and going to Murphy’s now..we might have to have a Bud Light..
Buuud Light Baby!
Oh, too much poi and lau lau. So full!
Garret — my impression was was modem speeds but cruise line systems may vary and wireless technologies have advanced. You might tell us later after you see it.
But at least give us a shout when you reach Cabo San Lucas and tell us your about your cruise, amenities, and activities.
BTW– I checked 3 and 4 days (large ship) cruises from Miami this month since (J)James will be in the neighborhood. $99 – $169 cruises! Even going alone and paying double, still a bargain. Don’t know what a ex-sailor like he would do as a passenger on a boring Bahama cruise though… 😐
Good evening Tsai-kos!
(J)J’s going to Miami? Have a Cuban sandwich for me! Go to Latin America restaurant. They’re all over Miami. Miami has good Argentinian food too. yummmm. My mouth is droooooling.
Is he going to make big body in South Beach? Can he? hehehehehe.
OK, got the HD box today. Anyone know if the Redskins game is on TV Sunday? Gotta clip da wings of the sparrows.
Long Beach Poly beat a good Lakewood team tonight.
jm2375 – I don’t see that game on the tv schedule
Jojo ~ Who made ‘um?…Jeje?
Kahuku leads da Govs 13-6 with 10 min. left in da game.
Kahuku has 105 yards aginst them in penalties!
Stretch – darn. Sometimes I miss DC. Only a little, though.
Isa Lufa #8 for Farrington is making his presence known as a linebacker supreme! 5 Taclkes, 2 for losses, 1 sack. He looks very strong when he slams people to the ground…must be the new weight room!
Kahuku ends it with the 13-6 score. Even with 140 yards of penalties against them! John Lessary III ‘impact’ player of the game with rushing yards, rec. yds and a booming 56 yard punt!
Kahuku remains undefeated and in sole possesion of the Red Div. East.
Kanoa sez there are 28 former Kahuku players that are currently on the roster and playing D-1 football.
ah, i was gonna watch my recording of the farrington-kahuku game. but i guess now it has lost its luster.
isaiah iuta, that is.
al: I try not to blurt out scores, but I gotta admit, in this day and age it’s probably smarter to just stay off the Internet.
I was just thinking the other day — since MNF is live on ESPN, we don’t see “Close Your Eyes” time anymore. Never mind that some people don’t get to watch the game until they get home …
Yeah, I don’t even bother with the “suspense” thing anymore.
i hope that guy second from the bottom of that list don’t take those words as an insult. could become one hella food fight at camellia’s..
yah, jase…..now i’ve got two games i recorded today that i’ll probably delete.
#42 might be the one to watch in the future.
You gotta watch those games, you’re our Tsai-ko Recruiting Director. We need you to stay informed. 🙂
Governor offense looks like offense they ran in the 60’s.
gotta love that hawaii self storage commercial with that haka going on.
choo choooo??!!
🙂
oh no….what have we created?
haaa, an Engineer i hope.
lab rat,
Was Bob Apisa playing tonight?
It’s actually the ha‘a that they perform in that commercial. Nice to actually hear the audio; I always see the video in the stadium, but I never can hear it.
no matter jase….haka sounds more manly.
gnalo….remove above four “o’s” and what do you have?
How about a “tastier” haka?
bob apisa?
whoa….and before him brother bill.
then les kent, onosai, that big punishing bruiser back of governor lore.
gnalo….remove above four “o’s” and what do you have?
hmm………haven’t heard that one in a while?

You ever have those days when nothing seems to go right? I think I had mine today.
Then there’s the days everything goes just right…I hope the Warriors have that kind of day today!
It’s Game Day Ronnie & Rob25!
No fogit hang your sign in front Mr. Kazu-Tanaka (get plenty Cam-a-rah supplies!) at the game.

GOOD MORNING TSAIKOS,
IT’S GAME DAY!!!! RISE AND SHINE AND PREPARE FOR VICTORY!!!
ooooops, it’s time for me to get up, but back in Hawaii nei, everyone just getting home from going out, heee heeeee.
when you guyz do get up, let’s rock! GO WARRIORS!!!!
Good morning again to all the Tsaikos,
Wherever you may be….the line in the sand has been drawn, and today we shall fight as Warriors……LET’S GO WARRIORS!!!
It’s 730 in Odgen, and I am going to go and drop the beast off for his game day ritual of team meeting, position meeting, eat, relax, and prepare for battle. Weber State plays Montana Grizzlies, the perennial conference champs. the game is set for 1 pm, rain and 57 degrees as the high temp., with snow in the mountains…..great. no umbrellas allowed = poncho city.
IMUA WARRIORS
IMUA WILDCATS
everyone let’s cheer our Warriors on to victory!!!
Good morning Bulla!
Best wishes to The Beast and the Wildcats! All his Tsaiko Uncles and Aunties are so proud of him. Now go tell him to kick some Grizzly arse!!! CHEE HOO!
What’s the temp like right now?
btw, how was the chili and rice feast?
Take care brother and keep safe.
It is Game Day! Too bad in my case I won’t get to see the game until Thursday night…
Good morning Garret!
Enjoy your vacation with all your family/friends…and eat for all us Tsaikos. Try not to work too mich on this trip.
Keep safe and have fun!
Bon Voyage!
Good morning Tsaikos everywhere!
Las Vegas, you get one good job! 😀
Pride, I enjoyed catching up and reading yesterday’s posts.
Mei Ling, welcome home.
gonna have breakfast with BarryM this a.m., catch up on scoops.
POMAI,
i had an epiphany. UH 37-FSU 20.
Go Warriors!!!!!
A very Warrior morning to everyone!!!
Cool, cloudy and rainy. Good weather for football in the PNW.
Hawaiianbod,
The chili fest was more like David Copperfield disappearing act…or like an Esme whoooooooooosh….made 2 big pots, with a big pot of rice, diced onions, cheese to throw on top and it was history. Even the local girls who hang out with the local boys ‘wen go whack’em’. no worries, nothing like a home cooked meal for college kids.
funny note, trying to cook while the kids are in class…..looking for a can opener, no more, but get 2 ice cream scoops, ahhh, to be kids again.
right now it’s about 58 degrees, light rain, and breeze blowing. it’s going to be wet all day….Wildcats going to battle, this game rivals UH’s game as a game that will determine the rest of the season.
IMUA WILDCATS
IMUA WARRIORS
Leave it on the field….every ounce of effort…if you can walk, you didn’t give it your all…there will be only one victor……
do or do not, there is no try
Hawaiianbod,
Good morning to you! Thank you for the well wishes!
I hope that the game goes well today! The first 10 minutes will be critical to set the tone and calm the crowd down a little.
USC is telling students who feel ill to stay home…there is a nasty bug spreading around campus.
I guess Pete Carroll *did* commit an NCAA violation, despite his statement earlier this week on how what he did was okay.
visualizing Kia winning his battle in da trenches.
dats where half da akshun going be, our oline in da trenches. and no penalties!!! just plain ‘i no like you so i going punch yo face fayah an squayah an ainokea yo mudda like yell at my mudda, so dayah yu scraggly @$$ mutt!!!’ 😀 das da kine catlicks upbrining i vizualizin da guyz bringin to FSU.
Go Warrriors!
Good morning Bulla, wafan, Hawaiianbod, Garret, and all other early bird Tsai-kos everywhere!!
Bulla lots of luck to Ryan and his team as they face the Grizzlies tonight. Hope you and Lynn are making wonderful memories.
Garret, you and your family make memories on your cruise. You are going to get spoiled on the cruise. sj and I are looking forward to our next one which won’t be for a year.
wafan, wish we had your weather here. It’s still hot and muggy.
Have a great weekend. Looking forward to tonights tailgate at Murphys and watching our Warriors battle the dawgs!
Morning everyone!
Thanks for the well-wishes. I guess it’s NOW off to Fresno. I hope I don’t get snarled in L.A. traffic along the way (where I’ll most likely have to refuel).
I’ll check back tomorrow morning post-game.
last night’s news

MeiLing . . .
Welcome home! At last you will be able to enjoy UH sports. I am jealous.
Garret and family . . .

C_C . . .
Say goodbye to summer!!!
Tsai-kos . . .
Leave some food and drink for the other customers at Murphy’s.
Warriors . . .
You have all been inocculated for rabies and distemper. Now go bite the dogs. Remember to put on your flea collar, too! Muzzle the dogs!!!
Howzit Myki. my best to sj.
we got da talent on da team. we just need to put it together, get da Warriors to have confidence in themselves. the real heats got to come from the offense. its their time, especially the wide outs.
more crisp cuts, more in tune routes with the qb.
Go Warriors!!!
Bulla and his Boss . . .
So, when are you coming to WA to cook a crock or three of chili? Mmmm, the post-victory meal will be unreal! Good luck for a good and safe game to all teams.
Myki . . .
Usually we have this weather through March. Please feel free to take as much as you like. HA!
Hawaiianbod . . .
Drive like they do! Just point your car in the general direction, close your eyes, and step on the accelorator. Yipeeeeeeeeee!
Garret . . .
You do realize you are not the only one who will go through withdrawals while you are off-blog. What the heck are we going to do without your “off-topic” and analytical posts?
Good morning Tsaikos here and everywhere. Game day is always exciting and hope the Warriors are up to it today.
Good morning BHF2, Chawan, Myki, Wafan!
CRW – have a safe drive to raisinland.
GO WARRIORS!!!
Good Morning Tsaiko Family!
IT’S SATURDAY!!!!
Rob, Julia, and I are getting ready to head up north to raisin country. We’re just trying to finish our signs. Which leads me to my question… Does anyone have a Tsaiko logo with black letters on a white background? We were going to use it in one of our signs…
Good morning to you too, Whitey. Is today’s menu include the “The Breakfast of Champions?”
Good morning Ronnie, Ron25 and Julia!
Have a safe trip driving through I-5 and Highway 99.
Bring us back a victory.
YEE HAW!!!
Good morning Hawaiianbod. i don’t know about breakfast this morning cause i have to go to my cousin’s house this am. they lost their daughter yesterday, so not a good way to start my day. going check to see if they need my help.
Go Warriors!!!!!!!!
Good morning whitey, our prayers and thoughts are with you and your cousin’s family in this stressful time.
Rob, Ronnie and Julia, have a safe journey to Fresno and at Fresno. Have fun and represent the Warrior Nation well.
Whitey . . .
Condolences, prayers, and good thoughts to you and your family.
whitey,
Thoughts and prayers for your Ohana.
Great Morning All!
Yes indeed-y IT’S SATURDAY!!!
GAME DAY, BABEEEEE!!!

No can have let up by the Defense regardless of the news.
Offense gotta adapt and execute.
Special teams need to execute.
Focus, focus, focus.
808%
(I really like dat, Kazz 🙂 )
Good Saturday Warriors.
D1 – no Ryan Matthews does change the game. Those the backups are good, the pace will be slower.
Come on team. Rick ’em Rack ‘um Ruck ‘um, get that ball and really fight, fight, fight. !!!
