Tres bien: ‘Mighty Mouse’ gets a chance in CFL

these two daniel brothers look alike and they both look like they are big.

Woooo Hoooo.. Bring on the Castle Boys…

During the 2002 State Champ Game, Mrs. Daniels won the car from the Tony Group during halftime contest, hosted by another Castle Grad Tiny Tadani…

Ooh…do I make top 10

I like what MAC & staff are doin to encourage “second chance” opportunities for athletes who missed the first bell.
Although this can not be seen as a core method to recruit, yet, it is still inspiring to see and is a profound statement by our warrior staff to agressively augment its walk-on program at the grass roots level …..keep the dream kickin.

Another Castle (09) graduate, Sablan, I read here was also contemplating walking on. Hope he does. One of the better athletes around.

Best of everything to the Daniel bothers.

And bring your 6-5 bothers along too.

Best wishes to Cory and Clint Daniel! The more depth that the Warriors get the harder it will be for walk-on players to make the depth chart…but there will always be room for some undiscovered players to emerge as stars.

Liz ~ How does his Let’s Get Ready To Rumble! sound?

…and what about him replacing da guy wit da “Tony da Tigah” voice at da SSC? Can? Evertime I hear him announce da lineup, I’m Ono for Frosted Flakes!

ST: Sometimes supplemental flash helps even though the natural light may be bright – helps get rid of noon-time shadows. Emphasis is on supplemental and not full flash.

Kekoa- dis wessai guy is moh bettah… seriously. I like geeve da braddah one big chance.

There’s another paper?! Where?!

DPH,

re ur #25…”how old?”…….(35 y.o.)…just joking….bwaaaahahaha!!!

oops-

WELCOME, NEW and FUTURE WARRIORS!!!!

Ooooops!!!, sorry…DPK; my finger got distracted.

Howzit, Tsai-ko ohana!!!!

Tiny was also a pretty darn good baseball player for the Knights

cory is gonna be 24 this year. clint is 2 years younger. the twins just graduated from castle last year and spent 1 year up at arizona jc with the older brothers.

the eldest of the daniel brothers currently trains with MMAD out on the east side with the wolfe brothers.

ST- I like carrots and soccer- both are very good for da keeds!

whoosh!

Howzit Everybody,

Eh al

I was going ask Tsai the same question.

Didn’t our Mike Tsai graduate from UH? In any case, this new coach looks like he’ll do well with Kalani.

tsai………….is this another mike tsai?

if this is THE Mike Tsai, I wonder if the Princess will be an assistant??!!??

i am sure that this is another mike tsai.
thought that i would toss it out to stir some activity.

dpk, the odds of two mt’s is not impossible. there are two other al’s with the exact same spelling and approx age on oahu.

al,

There are three guys who share my first and last names AND my middle initial in Hawaii. One has really bad credit and the banks often confuse us.

mih….i have the same scenario as you do.

wdoc…no problem.

i hope he is 6’5″/285 lbs and also a basketball player.

MIH:

Know the feeling all to well of having a “name sake” in Hawaii.

Our first 4 letters of our middle name is same.

the old City Bank, McCully branch, kept depositing my pay check into the other guy’s account – after 3 month of this bull sh*t, I closed my account and went back to CPB – now, both of us with CPB!!!

wow Blaze, Cory, & Jake are all MMA freaks… I want to see some nasty streaks return to the Defense.. WITHIN THE RULES, OF COURSE

mih….methinks the tennessee connection may have started with jonathan mapu from kahuku hs.

da mma’ll be coming to HI very very soon

Junk Kine News Gang ~

HawaiianBod has undergone a few very radical medical procedures as a result of his diabetes condition. Shortly after the last KK, he became very ill and was admitted to Pali Momi.

During his 2 week stay, he underwent 2 serious surgeries. One included amputating his right big toe. (His ring finger had already been amputated).

Not long after he was sent home to recuperate, he was rushed to ER again for low blood pressure of 29! He is out of the hospital now, still a bit weak but apologizing for missing Koakane’s retirement gig!

He just wanted everyone to know that he is trying to get healthy again and is sorry that he will be missing Ronnie’s dinner.

If anybody needs some well wishes, it is our little brother “HawaiianBod.” Please let him know we are thinking of him.

BTW — His Uncle tells me that during his football playing days he really had a solid “HawaiianBod!”

Mahalo ~ Kekoa

Prayers for you , HawaiianBod! May the Lord keep His hand upon you.

Thanks for the update, Kekoa.

Hawaiianbod: We’ll be praying for you as well.

Hawaiianbod get well soon, take your meds and control your sugar intake….

Hawaiianbod…Godspeed my brother….prayers and best wishes….

I know it wasn’t sounding good with the problems I was having with the copy protection on the vb game, but I really am terrible at taking “no” for an answer. There had to be a way.

John Fink of KFIVE called me today and I thanked him, but knew there wouldn’t be enough time to work through the station. Another angel did answer the call…Sports Hawaii’s OP65 (Karl Kawachi). He’s bailed me out of several botched tape jobs while I was taping games for the Hawaii units back in 2004-6. I’d burn through 2-3 hundred dvd’s each season. Bottom line is I’m picking up a copy from him tonight (there’s actually 2 games since it was during a tournament) and will burn the extra copies tonight. Please call me, three eight one, nine three three four, to coordinate the hand off.

Sending prayers out to hawaiianbod

Conflicting reports about the football camp on Oahu this week.

Where is it being held? In town? Ko Olina? Laie?

HawaiianBod,

I’m not in the same boat you’re in, yet. But I do have type 2 diabetes and I realize how perilous it can get if it’s not controlled. I think if you were able to relay a message it would certainly alert your fellow tsaikos to contour their lifestyles in a healthier way. For myself I thought I was infallible from catching the disease and never heeded anyone’s advise about the tons of starches I was suppose to stay away from. Me,I’d shrugged their concerns and dived into every buffet and drinking get together like it was no tomorrow. And it caught up with me. Years of neglect-a donut, some chips and big binges of eating a box of cookies or a pot of rice in one sitting will make things cave in. And it did. I express my concern for you, Hawaiianbod, and hope your health improves greatly. I also want to put the light on in someone’s mind that reading this–live healthy, eat right and exercise.

Hawaiianbod, my best to you and speedy recovery.

Hawaiianbod:

Best wishes for a speedy recovery and see you soon at a cattle call or tailgate!!!

Dang, hawaiianbod!!!

Braddah, GET WELL AND PRAYERS FOR A FAST KINE RECOVERY!!!!

Jason…PP is only bad if you’ve eaten asparagus the night before…or for other reasons but this is a family blog…MWAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

The Katinas are a very popular Christian Band. One of my favorites. They would definitely be on my ipod, if I had one. Hopefully younger brother comes to Hawaii.

Hawaiianbod, my blessings go out to you brother.

OK- I’m set! curveball and I are going for the blue! The added walk from the T-gate will keep me exercised… but I won’t keel over from the climb to yellow. Phew!

It’s getting exciting!!! FOOTS BALL!!! WOO HOO!

Best wishes to Hawaiianbod. I hope that your health is much better soon.

Bess is the latest example of an NFL player whose identity was stolen on the popular Twitter.com networking service. A Twitter user named “Lambo_Weezy” has made multiple postings claiming he was Bess. That prompted a call Monday to NFL security from Bess’ agent Kenny Zuckerman.

“The Twitter site is a 100-percent fake,” Zuckerman told FOXSports.com in an e-mail. “We have contacted all the proper authorities and plan to prosecute this impostor to the fullest extent of the law. Fraud is fraud and we are going to protect Davone and his reputation at any cost. He is very upset about this incident and wants everyone to know that he is the victim of an unfortunate scam.”

But since Twitter doesn’t ask for identification proof to start an account, a bevy of imposters has emerged. A fake “Peyton Manning” — complete with a mug shot of the Colts quarterback and hometown listing of Indianapolis in the Twitter profile — has almost 14,000 followers. A bogus DeMarcus Ware “tweeted” that he was close to signing a contract extension, forcing the Dallas Cowboys outside linebacker to later disclaim the false posting.

St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa sued Twitter because an impostor sent out derogatory statements under his name. A settlement was reached earlier this month. Twitter is experimenting with software that will provide verification for legitimate athlete/celebrity users. But the company’s web site said the service is currently being offered only to “well-known accounts that have had problems with impersonation or identity confusion.”

oh, and i am glad that the matson strike was averted.

WHEW!!!

Just having to organize everything at work… the countdown is on!!! One more day until my transfer and then BAM! Weekends and a return to normalcy. Gonna miss the overtime pay, but at least my salary stays the same… (might have to cut back on the new UH Under Armour gear coming out this season though… NAH!!! 😆 )

Sad to hear about Hawaiianbod’s continuing health issues, but gotta say my brotha, God don’t take you through hell and back for no reason. You’ll be fine and back at the tailgates again this season!!! Stay positive and we’ll be praying for you.

Judge Chin’s sentences Madroff to 150 years in federal prision…

Here is the discography for the Katinas from Billboard. There is another link to their Tennessee offer–it appears that the Katina family now lives in Tennessee.

Their music reflects their faith in the Lord as well as their love for their mother, who died shortly after the Katina family moved to Washington State in 1988; the family moved again to Nashville following this tragic event.

might mouse with the Alouettes….go Alouettes….

Glad to see more of our local boys are looking to come back and play for the home team. I would like to see Blaze and Jake on the field at the same time destroying people. Especially when we play on that smurf turf. Pretty sure going turn green when the other team she-she pants knowing these two assassins are on the field!

Go get ’em, Chad.

Congrats to Chad…

Howzit d1! send my best to Juliet!

football camp at BYU

5 in a row?

I need some help:

I’d like to ‘borrow’ the Tsaiko logo (the one on the Tsaiko black shirt). Just want to have some fun. I won’t be selling anything with the logo.

I don’t know who created it or owns it, but if you have reasonably good copy, please send to hoherb att yahoo dott com.

Thanks in advance.

c_c, Thanks, I’ll try that. The junk thing about using a mobile web is that the name links don’t work (at least on the iPhone).

Thanks again.

furture = future

Ho’omaikai, Chad “Mighty Mouse” Owens! Hope you stay healthy & get to play a lot in the CFL. Félicitations!!! Tres bon!

al,

Please put me on the list for lunch on Wednesday, please.

Bess is very dedicated with his workouts so he won’t have to worry about the August 1 running test, but some of his Dolphins teammates are probably worried. The new Miami regime set the tone when they started camp last year by cutting a player who failed the running test.

Players report on Aug 1st, but that’s the day they get their weigh in, and conduct their conditioning test, which features a 300- yard timed shuttle. Fail that test, which has a different time designation for each position, and there’s usually a price to pay.

Last year offensive tackle Julius Wilson failed it and got cut before sunset. It’ll be interesting to see if the Trifecta is willing to make a similar bold statement in year two.

“The offseason is the same thing every year. You get scared. I’m scared of the weigh in and the run test,” said Jason Ferguson, who is entering his 13th NFL training camp. “After that, everything’s good because it’s football. Once I get through with the run test and the weigh in, which is what all big guys are scared of, it’s all good. Then when you put the pads on, that’s when you know where we’re at. Who can play, and who can’t.”

Note about a JC recruit from Hawaii who is going to West Virginia.

# The Tevita Finau Watch (or is that Wait?) continues.

Of all the West Virginia football recruits who were scheduled to arrive this week for the beginning of the second semester of summer school, all but three are enrolled and working out. Finau, the junior college defensive end from Hawaii, is one of the three exceptions.

We’re apparently getting closer to a real sighting of perhaps the most mysterious Mountaineer recruit in recent times.

According to WVU director of football communications Mike Montoro, Finau has successfully passed the final course he needed to earn his junior college degree. He did it from his home in Hawaii, over the Internet, through Brigham Young University.

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

It is great that a number of businesses are offering aid to those who lose their jobs in this economy. Kudos to Walgreens for offering free health-care services to families that suffer a job loss and have no health insurance.

Hawaiianbod, I am so sorry to hear about your health. I am putting you in my daily prayers.

Thanks, Al — I use the squeeze bottle made by the same company. Yes, it works great. It mitigated symptoms so well for weeks that I keep thinking it will go away tomorrow. My problem may be in upper sinuses, so will be seeing an ear-nose-throat doc this Wednesday.

Between this and work (client office/computer relocations this week), I am doubtful for Jason’s cattle call this Wednesday. Sorry, Jason. 🙁

Garret – #146 was a good one, I get to see it everyday at work.

hawaiinbod – hope you get well soon and can join us at a tailgate this year.

Sorry I couldn’t answer some of you today. Had some keiki visitors from da mainland to field questions from today. Small peeps are cool to have around, ‘cept when they want to know too much.

They have a fresh twist on traditions we never dare question. Like “how come we gotta take our shoes off in da house when our feet are dirty from yesterday?!”…Huh??

Why do we gotta eat sushi with Hashi’s and not a fork? It’s easier to just pick it up with our fingers, so how come we get scoldings if we do it?

My brain is fried…Gotta go sleep! Good nite..Zzzzz…

All of BSU’s football games will be on free TV in Idaho this year, just as in past years. This means all of their home games are shown for free live and then are available for free all day every day on their digital cable channel.

KTVB President and General Manager Doug Armstrong says the new deal will allow for the production of seven live football games this fall, taking all games not picked up by national television networks, including ESPN.

The games will air live on KTVB, with repeats featured on the 24/7 digital channel as in years past.

Starting next year BSU will get a LOT more money from their local TV revenue, and that money is guaranteed for 10 years. Given how they pour the money from their profits back into their Athletic Department (for example, building luxury boxes and expanding their football stadium with their BCS money), they should continue to upgrade their facilities with this money.

The Learfield Contract is worth $33 million, and covers television, radio, stadium naming, marketing and other components – and runs for ten years.

Diogenes Sinope: yup, looking forward to meeting you. come late okay we tend to stay for a couple of hours.

not to mention meeting cindy c for the first time too.

ST ~

I like carrots. :)) And I like to watch soccer. I used to ride down to soccer games between USF (my alma mater) and San Jose State on the bus with the players. Got to see one of the past presidents of Peru play for USF, Alejandro (Alex) Toledo. I got to hang out with the guys at some of their parties because one of the Mexican players was in my business classes. It’s sorta like hanging out with the Tsai-kos. As my cousin calls it, you’re my football gang.

K, gangees, I’m going moi moi. Manana…

Prayers out for all who need them.

Good morning,

My take on the carrot piece ST wrote is this: I think it’s reminiscent of how a priest crafts a sermon, where there’s a subliminal message from the words he speaks. And similarly what ST wrote conveys a message. That’s the impression I get. If that was the intent it was pretty clever.

Great Morning All!

Buy gas today. Get your headsets. Start saving quarters for parking.
Just another day in Paradise…

HiHo.

I could go on and on about why soccer hasn’t caught on in the USA and what could be done to improve it by fine tuning some of the rules, for example. It is not a good TV sport (although that is changing a little with better camera work and HD). It will never be a big sport here, but it has potential to grow.

With all of the in migration from soccer countries, you would think the market would improve and we would have a few more players start to get attention. Building the professional league– the MISL– which is doing decent in some towns now is the key, that and building a recognizable USA style of soccer that fans can identify with.

13-year-old says that he’s committed to Tennesssee.

In college football recruiting today, it’s never too early. The entire process has been accelerated. It’s so fast that one young star in Fairburn, Georgia, has decided where to play his college football even though he hasn’t played a down of high school football yet.

“Yes, I committed to Tennessee,” Evan said. “It’s the only college I know right now and it seems the best for me. My dad went there and my brother is there now. I know I can do the same things there. I have a real friendly relationship with the coaches there. I know I don’t know them too well but I know I will have plenty of time to get to know them.

i’ve checked both the CFL and the Alouettes websites and both make no mention of Owens’ signing or tryouts. If he makes the team, i think he’ll return kicks and work his way up the slotbacks depth charts.

If he makes the Als roster, Owens will also be the second former Warrior in the CFL, next BC’s Ryan Grice-Mullen
