More duties for Mouton
Greg McMackin told reporters today that cornerback Ryan Mouton will have an expanded role, which will include returning kickoffs, playing in all of the defensive coverages, and, possibly, being used as a receiver in special situations. “He’s a playmaker,” McMackin said.
* * *
Here’s Coach Mack addressing the media today at the WAC Football Preview in Salt Lake City:
A gathering of WAC media means one thing: Food. Here is a picture of the barbecue chicken:
And here’s a pic of the barbecue ribs:

Bill Bryant, UH’s so-called “Compliance Guy,” has accepted a vice-chancellor’s position at Florida International University.
Bryant submitted his resignation letter last week.
He had a difficult job at UH. We wish him the best in his new position.
Amanda Paterson, a former UH soccer goal-keeper, will serve as the interim replacement.
* * *
Congratulations to Dave Reardon, who has been promoted to sports columnist at Brand X. (The promotion is listed in the UH media guide, making media relations director Derek Inouchi the summer leader in scoops.)
I’ve known Reardon for nearly 28 years, and he’s a great writer and an even nicer guy.
* * *
Belated birthday wishes to LK.

Today marks this blog’s second anniversary and my 26th wedding anniversary.
yeehaw! 1st
Congrats on both anniversaries.

Liz_K (3/28) – 😀
Hi Mike! What did your friend do w/ the UH football helmet?
ST – Wonderful story/interview w/ Coach Mack!!! Now I’m wondering if he has a temper (& mean-side) and how does he show that! 😀
Good Morning Stephen,
Congratulations on both anniversaries! Good morning to Tsai-kos here and elsewhere. You all have a great Thursday.
Grats on both counts!
Good Morning Tsaikos!
Top of the morning gang-
Guess what’s for breakfast? Yummy BBQ Chicken and Ribs! Forget the fruit, cereal and juice diet.
Congrats on your Silver lining anniversary ST. Quite a milestone. Mine was yesterday but need some x’tra years to catch up to yours.
I’m still scrolling back up looking at the food pics. Scratch n sniff photos too!
Happy Anniversary Tsais and Tsaikos!!

man, all that research to look up Tsai last night was a waste of time.
Should have just gone to Wikipedia!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cai_(surname)
Congrats to Reardon, a good secondary source to check once in a while.
Steven, good article on McMackin today!
On implementing his version of the four-wide offense:
“(Quarterback coach Nick “Rolo” Rolovich) is doing an unbelievable job with the quarterbacks. I know we’re going to have an unbelievably great (starting) quarterback. I know we’re going to be one of the top throwing teams in the country. I’m not worried at all. We’ve run this offense before. June did a great job running this offense. But this offense is special. We’re really getting back to the basics. Ron (Lee) knows the basics. I know the basics. Rolo knows the basics. Brian Smith (the line coach) is as good as there is in knowing how to block the front. Alex Gerke (the backfield coach) helps us not only with the running backs but with the offensive line. I really believe in the people we have.”
Happy 26th Anniversay, Stephen & Wena!!!
Guess you’ll see Bill Bryant at the Florida game. Good luck, Bill.
Ummm…the ribs look good. We’re having a dept. picnic today, but here in Arid-zona, we’re cooking brats.
Was it Lance’s birthday yesterday? Happy belated birthday, LK!!!
Happy anniversary to the blog & the Tsai-kos!!!
Good morning everyone!
One day closer.
Happy anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Tsai and all of the Tsai-kos! Whoo-hoo!!!
BK – I thought there was no more surfing the web at work?
Great article on Mack, ST.
Hey, Taylor McMackin, are you lurking? I saw you last week… 🙂
The best part of this blog are the food pictures. Uh, I mean the sports, friends, . . .
ST & Tsaiko Blog Dogs,
To Wena, another Purple Heart for enduring another year of Tsaiko mania! Hang in there girl…it can only get better!!??
Hey, I thought I was at Cat’s Daily Dish with the FUUD Pixs!!?? Aaaiiiyyyaaahhh! FUUD Pixs! Tenks!
Go Warriors!
whaddup ST:
How’s the weather. And most of all how was da chicken and the ribs.
Looks like things looking up in the WAC.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ST & WENA
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BLOG
Good Morning Everyone! Happy Anniversary to the da blog master and his wife! Oh yeah, congrats on 2 years of incredible blogging Tsaikos!!
Happy Anniversary ST and Wena!
Happy Anniversary to the blog! It is amazing to think of all of the changes that have occurred since the blog started…and ST either reported on or even inspired many of the changes.
Congratulations to Amanda Paterson for her temporary promotion…I’m sure that she will be up to speed quickly with the issues and that everything will proceed as speedily as possible. I do remember the article about how some BCS conference schools have 4 or more Compliance people due to all of the issues that have to be dealt with…I’m sure that Amanda will do her best to handle what she can by herself.
Garret,
Actually, the technical aspects of the blog have gone downhill. Or am I missing something?
If you want to read what the different magazines and websites have said in their preseason previews of UH or any other college football team, this website has a pretty extensive collection of links. Reading up on future opponents is interesting me, especially before each game…
Well, Mack is late for his news conference with the print guys. No doubt he’s running OT with the broadcasters.
NYUH,
You are correct that the blog website is worse than the old site. However, the number and variety of contributions from posters on the blog and outside the blog is amazing…the gatherings where so many friendships have formed due to this blog has been great…the rediscovery of old friendships (like Ronnie/Rob25) has been fun to see…and now the Tsaikos are doing so much to help the Athletic Department (fundraising, bighilofan2’s great job with the JUGS machine, etc.) that wouldn’t be occurring without a forum where the needs could be found and supported.
Cincinnati’s best choice for QB still doesn’t know if he’ll get his 6th year. I think that someone asked about Mauk yesterday or the day before.
Great Morning All!
Happy Anniversary Wena and Stephen!
Thanks for sharing him with us, Wena. 😉
Happy Anny to the Warrior Beat!
Thanks for sharing that with us, Stephen. 🙂
Wow!!!!..ST, you old fart you…bwaaaahahaha!!!..congrats, to all for whatevas!!!
I’m really looking forward to the Oregon State game. This OSU site has their favorite Oregon State commercials.
26 years?!?! Aw man, that’s too long for me. 🙂
Congratulations on both anniversaries!!!!
I’m disappointed about Jason Rivers being released/cut by Tennessee though. Hope he gets picked up by someone who needs one tough player/WR. Good luck Jason.
Remember that series on the 2000 Washington team and all of their off-the-field problems? Many of the players responded to the articles.
Liz,
Thanks for the link to Morning Look.
Belated Happy Anny to Maverick and Mrs. Maverick
Aloha and Mahalo (I guess) to Compliance Guy.
Interim Congratulations to Ms Paterson. Hoping she still has those Goalie skills to not let anything get past her.
Mmmm, leftover ribs and chix for breakfast.
mctruck,
I agree that the Rivers news was disappointing. The Titans have a big need at the WR spot, but it seems that Rivers was buried in the depth chart in their earlier mini-camps. I hope that and RGM get with teams soon.
Garret,
ditto w/regards RGM.
Does anyone know if the WAC website is streaming the meetings as in years past?
Only thing, this workplace computer blocks all the good kine sites.(f$#%)
Great read this morning Stephen.
Mac is a great guy; but he sure can wala’au. Hope he no keep you folks waiting too long!
Good Luck to Jriv and RGM. Hope they can hook-up somewhere soon.
Best of luck to RGM! I hope that the Bears realize how great of a player he is! It sounds like he’ll have to show that he’s healthy today and have a great workout.
I should have done my daily Google stuff before talking about how I wished RGM would get a chance somewhere…because he has a big chance today to impress an NFL team!

Ummm…the ribs look good. We’re having a dept. picnic today, but here in Arid-zona, we’re cooking brats.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are several in my old ‘hood I like to send you for grilling. Here on the new ceded lands, we do not have a ‘brat’ problem.
We adults can and do get outta hand tho, especially when I have a house full of Tsai-ko’s jammin’ Hawaiian music! Yee Haw!
Garret,
Hopefully RGM can make the Bears think he’s Devin Hester on the field, too. 😉
Amazing how UH going to the Sugar Bowl increased the bowl revenue for the C-USA from under $4 mil to about $6.5 mil!
Report on Nevada.
The WAC wants to have even more Friday games on ESPN.
Nevada is also upset with how their Bowl game went.
Mack:
Said he’s going to have an expanded role for Mouton, who also will return kickoffs.
It’s Mouton and Lane on kickoffs; Michael Washington on punt returns.
Quotes from Idaho’s coach.
Great news about the expanded role for Mouton! He’s a great weapon as a returner, though I hope that he stays healthy because he’s an awesome CB.
Michael Washington deserves the punt returner spot and he’ll do a great job! I remember how he had a return for a TD and still couldn’t get more shots returning the ball even though he had been doing better than Bess (who kept letting the punts hit the ground and roll for extra yards).
Mack:
“Mouton is the quickest guy on our football team.”
Mack says he’s a voter on the USA Today coaches poll.
Mack says there are 32 seniors on the roster.
Happy anniversary ST & Wena!
Mack on facility upgrades:
We’ve got big-butt chairs for the linemen.
For all of you SLS alum: we have 3 freshmen from SLS coming to NAU this Fall. Don’t know if any are football players.
LizK: thanks for the #18 post; cute, yah!
Happy Birthday LK!
Happy Birthday Blog!
Happy Anniversary Stephen Tsai and Wena!
Woohoo!
ST, thank you for passing all of these along! Funny line about the chairs!
What are the dimensions for a big-butt chair?
おはようございます。
ST: Happy Anniversary! おめでとうございます。축하해요. BTW, I have a question for you on behalf of the mother of a child who thinks I go to University of Colt Brennan. His mommy would like to know what your favorite game was last season. Hers was the Nevada game (probably because she decided to make brownies so we could eat them in sadness or happiness and she got to see me run upstairs jumping up and down like an idiot). 🙂
I was reading yesterday’s comments and the Japanese and Korean talk is awesome! I need some lessons.
I have more articles to post, but I’ll wait until the news conferences are done. I stopped once I saw ST was posting updates.
anyone got info on the services for Marlis’ wife?
my friend’s dad passed away a week ago, they’re not having services till late August, the funeral homes all full up, something like that. thanks.
LizK,
No need ticket for Florida. Thanks though! That one’s covered. But does anyone have an extra ticket for Oregon State? Its too late to get one through UH. I’m also checking on sportshawaii if anyone has one there too.
Hell YES! BB is gone!
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, GOODBYE~~!!
or rather good riddance.
BTW, those BBQ chicken whatchamacallit looks nasty.
Good Morning TSAIKOs and CyBeerLurkers…..Happy Anniversary to ST & Wena……2nd Birthday to the Blog…..Happy Belated Bday to LK…and to lhe leaving of the Compliance guy and the incoming Compliance wahine…Mahalo Nui Loa….Ten Que !!!!!

Great day, Tsaiko-Nation and Tsai-Meister,
Great milestone, 26 years, congratulations.
Happy Birthday, LK, a little late, but hope you enjoyed.
Found out that I have to be in Myrtle Beach from Aug. 30 to Sept. 3 and can’t go to the swamp. Ticks me off, tried everything to get out of it, but the bosses want me to run the exhibit, darn.
I will make it to Fridays (Aug. 29) cattlecall in Orlando, nothing is going to stop me from that.
Great piece on McMackin, also the Graunke video. Love the attitude, love the confidence. They all (including coaches) seem to have a giant chip on their shoulders, exactly what they need.
We sure have some exciting choices as returners and are super deep at corner. If they can man up on Florida and the line can hold, our linebackers will wreak havoc, yeah !!!!
Here are the videos link for each WAC coaches. Coach Mack’s will be posted this afternoon.
I watched some of Pat Hills, was worthwhile.

And LK – belated but sincere happy birthday!
LizK – thanks for the Colt article – good stuff
And mostly, happy anniversary to us Tsai-kos (r)!
Where’s that link I posted before?

Congrats to Amanda!
And to Dave Reardon……I would read you, but the paper isn’t allowed in our house…sorry. But I’m really happy that you are now a columnist! You are big time now.
And Steve….Happy wedding and blog anniversary.
Too bad Reardon is not the sports editor! He’s so much nicer than Arnett.
Florida Ted: I know somebody in Myrtle Beach; don’t know if they can masquerade to cover for your exhibit. 🙁 💡 Anything to do with golf? Aloha–sjmacro
sjmacro,
Masquerading wouldn’t work, I’m too ugly for that, lol.
No time for golf either. I should be able to watch the game in a sports bar along the way, surrounded by SEC fans, wearing my Warrior shirt. That should be interesting.
98th!
Congrats ST!
Bill, good luck in your new position.
Will The Beast have a different head coach soon?
ST is supposed to be on 1420 ESPN/ Booby Curran shortly–sjmacro

SJ & myki – how was practice yesterday??
Wena: we are going shopping (NEX) for school supplies. Email me: myki at hawaii dot rr dot com
Lots of good, highly discounted items perfect for Little Learners or your other school–myki
ST is on 1420 now–sjmacro

Hoohiki: the one day we miss UWs you come visit. Next time or we might catch you on Maui– sjmacro
ST brought up Boise’s blue field in his interview on Curren’s show.
I seriously think we should have our guys practice on a blue field the week leading up to that game.

Too bad for Rivers…goes to show how hard it is for a free agent to make a team.
So the compliance guy is out…I’d like to see if we have any problems getting the transfers cleared before classes start. In years past it seemed like guys weren’t cleared to play until October.
Good luck to Amanda. If she gets the guys cleared on time. Then you know it was the person and not the job that was the problem.
Congrats to Dave R too.
MOOOUUTON is a beast!!! I got a good feeling he’s taking a few to the house.
Thanks Garret for the Joe Cribbs Car Wash link.
Heavy critique of Frazier at the NYT’s review of UH.
http://thequad.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/06/25/the-quad-countdown-no-65-hawaii/
Though nearly every Hawaiian, from Gov. Linda Lingle down to the guy serving plate lunch at L&L Drive-In, wanted Jones to stay, the melancholy majority have turned the page on the illustrious Jones era (76-41, two WAC championships) and welcomed with open arms the former defensive coordinator Greg McMackin, the 21st coach in team history. His assignment? To reload, not rebuild, and keep Hawaii in the upper-echelon of the WAC.
I have a request, as I have said before I am creating a new website dealing with the past teams of UH sports, all of them but am starting out with football. Do any of you tsaikos have any old media guides or game programs for any of the sports, that you could send me? Please email me if you can at pomai at tsai-kos.com
homey – nuff already, I getting tired from standing on my head reading your posts.
Happy Anniversary ST & Wena!
Can it really be only 2 years since the inception of the Warrior Beat? Thank you ST & Tsaikos! Don’t know how I made it through the day without you guys!
Happy Belated Birthday LK! Thank you again for the AWESOME name tags!
#104: Sounds like some tough competition for CB
Garret,
Re: #101 post
In the past couple of weeks I have had the chance to spend a lot of time with Coach McBride when he was here in Hawaii, and when I was in Utah last week.
He still has a lot of ‘kick’ left in him, and seems sharp as ever. Personally, I think he is a throwback to another era, and we love him like no other. He genuinely cares for his student-athletes, and we feel fortunate to have The Beast there.
Only time will tell, but for the Wildcats of Weber State University, the games against UH and Utah will be their 2 biggest games this season.
Good luck to the Wildcats for a great season, and Imua Warriors for another great year!!!
homey must be in outer space if he’s upside down
Posted on July 24, 2008 by Matt Terl
Asked the QBs about the lively pads drill this morning, and specifically about Coach Zorn’s zeal for it.
Colt Brennan: “We’d done something like that in college, but this was kind of a barrage. I’ve never had six bags thrown at me at one time.”
Was Coach feeling sinister? “Ah, Coach Zorn just always wants to keep it loose and fun. They’re soft bags, and we’ve got these big pads and everything
chawan_cut: I don’t know how to type in Japanese on a Mac, so… Dooitashimashite!
maybe homey has been (secretly) watching the video of gigi golfing again….
Hey gang…good morning.
Happy Anniversary to all and Happy Birthday to all….belated to LK.
Geez homey…I was getting dizzy reading your stuff…LOL
Looking back at the old blog I see al was a big comment contributor. In fact, he was the only poster in one of the blog topic. That’s right, some blog topics had no comments and some had just 1 comment. Thanks to al, DPK, Cat, and the awesome story lines ST would put in the blog topics this site has grown to what it is today.
Congratulations WB and ST for a job well done.
gettin some serious flashbacks (nightmares) from my japanese classes from college couple years ago. tanx a lot guyz:)
Stretch – next time just turn your cell phone or monitor upside down.
jojo – Got Thai?
James – Were you always James when you first came on the blog? I read some stuff posted by “James” but they were kinda lame/gay that I thought it couldn’t be you.
WOOHOO! I won another U.K. lotto! This time it’s for $2 million! All I gotta do is send them $10K for processing and they’ll hand deliver the kala! Anyone wanna donate to offset my $10K? Better yet, send your checks to bhf2 or Doris or Stretch and they can use the money for the betterment of UH Athletics.
homey, did my early posts sound like me?
homey – I was always James…although I think there was another James that people got confused….his name must have been James Angel.
and homey it’s “got thigh?”
da princess’ classmate – dang, all this talk about classes got into my head and I had a dream last night that I missed my final exams and was going to fail my classes….and I haven’t been a student at UH for ten years…
Congrats to Stephen and Wena, Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary to the Blog!
Its amazing that through it all, it continues to grow bigger and bigger each day.
homey…”Don’t ask Don’t tell…” Mwahahahaha…eh, how can, I won that lottery yesterday…I have to call my Nigerian banker to complete the transaction.
James, were you a UH student at age 29?
Stretch: did you and kkv2000 hook up re: Oregon State?–sjmacro
Gigi…I’m only 30….
just ask Jason.
sj – not yet, I need to find a way to contact him
Happy Anniversay to ST and Wena,
belated Happy Bday to LK
whew, thursday already, weekend almost here.
thanks SteveM for the photo of our tsaiko shirts, lookin good!
gigi – you haven’t changed a bit!
anyone know if da uh coaches offered a schollie to mana rosa, de from baldwin. supposedly getting some pac-10 schools and has some interest in staying home. luv what da coaches are doing on da local recruiting front but hope this kid doesn’t fall thru da cracks. 🙂
wow that sentence was jacked up – supposedly getting some interest from some pac-10 schools but has some interest in staying home 🙂
James, if you are 30, did you drop out or graduate from UH at age 20?
haha, I’m just pulling your leg, James!
gigi…I graduated from UH in 3 1/2 years…got my Masters in 1 1/2 years….
homey, I haven’t changed a bit? That’s good news. At age 99, I hope I still look middle aged.
gigi – everyone knows James was a biology major.
uh, James, that’s too much math for me to figure out. haha. But congrats on being such a brilliant student!
BTW, d1, I finally called the City Complaints Office to report the dead street lamp opposite my house. So next time you wanna pick up my muumuu, no problem!
be careful which leg you pulling gigi….
gigi – I didn’t mean your looks, I meant your emotional state and cognitive reasoning.
damn (Jesse) James – UH in 3.5 yrs w/ all that language, writing intensive, and other useless BS they put us through. that’s damn impressive. tip my cap to you bud
homey – Wow!! You pay attention. You must like me…you must really, really like me….MWAHAHAHHAHHA
Homey, isn’t reasoning always cognitive?
Stretch, haha, I am not going there! I felt like mentioning which leg, but…
gigi – so how much 2 cent stamps are in a dozen? I’ll let you pick your dozen.
homey, you are over-taxing my feeble mind! Puh-leeze!
gigi – no it is not.
anyway, if the question is how many 2 cent stamps are in a dozen eggs, the answer is zero.
Stretch: check your email–sjmacro
da princess’ classmate…I was just picking on gigi..not impressive…actually completed undergrad in 4…masters in 1.5
I’m all for Friday night college games. Crazy that they have high school games on Friday. Kids should be focused on school, not the game last that night.
The WAC wants to have even more Friday games on ESPN.
WAC teams will play five Friday night games on ESPN/ESPN2 this season. Boise State is involved in three of them – vs. Hawaii (Oct. 17), at San Jose State (Oct. 24) and vs. Fresno State (Nov. 28).
Benson acknowledged the conflicts with high school football, but “it has become a window we’re taking advantage of and growing.”
Kelli — On a Mac, go to System Preferences –> International. Click on “input menu” and choose the Japanese, Korean and/or Chinese sets (also checkmark the character palette, kana palette and keyboard viewer boxes). Make sure the “Show input menu in menubar” is checked at the bottom.
The flag next to the date in the right side of the menu bar will then indicate which language set you are working in. Click on the flag to choose the language/font and call up the viewing and keyboard palettes whenever you wish.
The Hawaiian character set is set up in the same way
My problem is I barely speak Japanese, forgot most of my hiragana and katana and do not have the patience to concatenate the kanji 😳
Too bad there isn’t a picture of Coach Mack with the Geico Gecko or Mrs. Butterworth
Good to hear Mouton will be returning kicks with Lane, and Washington will be returning punts. That should be pretty solid.
jojo, I thought you were Mrs. Butterworth…???
Stephen and the Tsaiko crew,

CHING/COOKE FIELD ALERT: Issues outside the control of the University of Hawai`i at Manoa are going to impact the processing the bids. Phone calls are out to half a dozen people to provide updates. Will post here as soon as I confirm them.
A quick break to answer the phone: The person started speaking to me in Japanese, but he quickly apologized for the wrong number. Was it one of you folks??
Happy Anniversary Stephen and Wena: We recently clocked 30 years Never thought that would happen.
LK: Sorry for the confusion concerning your birthday. Haoot birthday Often one person will post here with different names so it was a logical, albeit incorrect, assumption LK and LizKauai were the same. Yes, from time to time one of my other posting names on other blogs gets left on the first line, but it’s always by accident.
Will be back as soon as I can get some clarification about the Ching/Cooke field project.
Good luck to Florida on getting game footage of Mouton as a receiver!!!

OK Tsaiko Ohana…Listen Up!
We Tsai-ko’s have the perfect opportunity to bring in the ultimate replacement for the Compliance Director’s position. Her name is Doris Sullivan.
She is well versed in this particular area because of her untiring efforts in college recruiting for all students to all institutions. She would be the perfect fit for UH, and enhance Tony T. by keeping him and his office abreast of current recruiting guidelines, thus avoiding any violations.
Many times we ourselves have needed a reading on what exactly is the correct way or the prudent direction for pursuing an individual up for a schollie. No doubt with her in office.
So my question to ST, and my fellow blog dogs of the Tsaiko persuasion is, Why not ask the powers that be to make it happen? ASAP!
Doris Sullivan for Compliance Officer!…can I get an AMEN!
Comments, Questions? JD, Coach Mack, are you listening?
¿sıɥʇ ǝʞıl uɐǝɯ noʎ
First of all, you need a shot glass and a bottle of CR…
Florida just got a 15-year-old OL to commit.
Mouton will definately become a star this year, crossing my fingers and toes that he stays healthy.
Read all the McMackin stuff again, I just love this mans attitude, it is already rubbing off on the whole team. The mainland just doesn’t understand the much bigger and better talent pool we have now. These writers always go by the past and are probably thinking 2005, but this team will be a very different beast. Too bad we’re playing Florida in the very first game. That may let the cat out of the bag too soon.
We have to think like Boise, we are the WAC champions and until someone knocks us off, we shall continue to be just that.
Now I really can’t wait for Fall Camp, man, I’m excited.
My three year old is fluent in Japanese and, in fact, on the plane to Japan. Meet my wife while she was getting her Masters at UH. Did my time at Moore Hall competing with all the Japanese-Americans who learned the language from their obachans.
That guy who got a promotion has the text of McMackin’s speech at the WAC Media Day on his blog. Excuse me for not providing “Brand X’s” link.
Q: Staying with run and shoot?
A: I’ve been fortunate to be with some of the best offensive coaches in the country. June Jones, Mouse Davis, Mike Leach, Dennis Erickson, Ron McBride. Jack Elway was my first great coach I was with. When I became a head coach at a small college I ran the run-and-shoot. I asked Mouse, tell me about the run-and-shoot. He said you can’t defend it. June’s a little more realistic. I believe the scheme is as good as any. The Patriots use it. Everyone uses a part of it. Like a veer option, spread option Urban Meyer uses, we run the passing man’s option. We read everything the defense does and react to it.
Jason, I’m hurt…I just celebrated the 10th anniversary of my 29th birthday a couple of months ago…..
I’m a Thai Mrs. Butterworth? Oh boy…CR? That was Saturday night.
Who made the first comment ever on the blog?
Kekoa,
I wholeheartedly agree with you about Doris Sullivan, but there’s only one problem if she moves to UH.
She does such great work for ALL the young Hawaii athletes that it begs the question, who will take her place for all those kids? It might be better to find a way to support her regularly in what she does now, rather than move her to UH. What do you think?
ok now, who broke the blog, right after jojo’s post, taking forever to refresh
homey – fwiw, i gotta go to ff to see the upside down thing
jojo – see comment #141 in yesterday’s blog.
😡 hey now i no mo da pictas on ff
Homey – I did the CR and got a shot glass and I can’t do that upside down backwards thing. Are you allowing us to experience how Tebow is going to feel after Blaze hits him?
Loa – that’s because someone changed the .jpg to .JPG. in the picture filename.
Loa, there are no pics for me on IE, either.
Rob25 – You didn’t have enough CR. 😆
ok, now they are back.
homey
#179…and den…
Homey – I guess I should do some more next time…wait hubby will be there…OK I no need stop because he can drive home!
homey upsidedown – why would they change it to caps? now i get one big empty box in ie
guess i gotta try download opera huh
Rob, I give you credit for drinking that stuff. I can’t even bear the odor of CR. Now if it were Beck’s, I would drink it.
Is the blog broken or did everyone go to lunch?
BG – My husband was with 227th Engineers when they were deployed in 2004. I know that they were still part of the 29th BCT then too but now they are part of Alpha Company under the command of Capt Tumpap.
¡ʇı op uɐɔ ı
¡ɐɹnɐןǝp ןǝɯ ‘oɾoɾ
Thanks homey.
Today would have been a good day to get the Stephen Tsai bio or Wena’s bio.
Or even a recipe for ‘Gator stew…can you eat the eyeballs?
Loa – I’m just kidding about the JPG.
LV – YEAH!
ST:
I keep looking at the chicken and ribs and say to bad it’s not “teriyaki” style. Tomato paste/sauce is not my preference.
Loa – Pics don’t show up in Opera too.
Florida Ted ~ Not a problem, Doris has a great staff that she has groomed for just such an occasion. Like any great leader, if you make sure that your 2nd in command can step up when the chips are down, you won’t skip a beat.
Her Foundation will be easily re-tooled to become an excellent ‘feeder’ program for the UH athletic department because of her prominence among the parents of the gazillion kids she helped over the years.
jojo – I heard it tastes like chicken. If alligator meat is expensive then why don’t people just eat chicken? Taste the same. Same thing with frog legs. Just eat chicken.
Homey,
I ate frog legs in Japan, no taste like chicken, taste like frog.
Kinda like chicken but with a fishy aftertaste, bleech.
Only time I ate frog legs was at the old Willows, when they still had the pond full of bull frogs. Ohhh, the croaking!
LV – Must’ve been a japanese frog.
homey – lol, funny cause everything was fine until around 11:15 a.m.
homey — it looks like one part of the blog server is not talking to another of its parts. You may be right about the .jpg vs .JPG extension — either ST changed camera or there was human intervention later. Ohhh well… 🙄
so las vegas, you’re saying that gator would kinda taste like chicken, but with a swampy after taste? ahhh, I only like the wings on the chicken…
SteveM – Souldn’t make a diff if JPG or jpg.
jojo – I heard the gator wings are huge! I didn’t know buffalo had wings until I went to Ward Centre.
I haven’t seen wings on buffaloes so does that mean they pluck the wings off when they are born? No wonder the wings are so small.
jojo – got Karaoke?
Hello folks. Busy morning, just got back in.
Happy Birfday, dear lil blog. Seems like only yesterday when you were a wee baby blog, and al, bulla, homey and I used to stand around in a big empty room and lissen to ourselves talk. Now this place is like the food court at Ala Moana or sumfin.
Congrats to Stephen and Wena, and their beautiful kamali’i as well. Here’s wishing you many more.
and homey don’t forget that chicken of the sea doesn’t taste like chicken either
Great news about Mouton. “Speed Kills”, that’s why you need a playmaker like him to get his hands on that ball as often as you can.
DPK – did you see your first post ever in yesterday’s blog?
jojo – Why do they call it horse radish? Did horses grow it?
Thanks for the enlightenment!
Yup, Mouton in the open field with the ball tucked away safely is a touchdown waiting to happen.
Makes sense. A lot of Tsaikettes are into forearms.
Hey, was the server down or something? Took me over an hour to get back on after my last post.
Kekoa,
If that’s the case, then by all means it would be great to bring her over. I didn’t know she had a whole organization. How does she get financial support right now? Do parents pay a fee for her services or is it all kindness?
Florida Ted ~ I’m going out on a limb by announcing a bit prematurely, that a *Few Good Men* who just happen to be Tsaiko, have also made a future financial arrangement to help fund The Foundation.
So while Doris could very easily step away from her role as the founder and leader, she will be able to leave them with enough money to sustain them for a long time. I don’t think she would leave them without that assurance.
The UH Compliance Officer is a position that one must wonder who and why it is being vacated. If there was a problem, and JD is cleaning house, than who was left as the interim chief? Is that person a protege’ of the person that is vacating?
Wouldn’t it be best to staff the position with a person of known integrity and knowledge of important recruiting issues and true compliance?…A person who has been heralded by County and State Officials, the media, and the UH Athletic Department…I think yes, Ted.
Seems like Joe Pa would not be a good candidate for a Tsai子.
He was asked about seeking counsel about retirement from Joe Tiller who has announced that he is retiring after this season because he wants to go fishing.
Any further questions?
Ted ~ She has been doing all these good things for ‘gatis’ and donations people want to make to her foundation. She has operated on a shoe string budget. She has been struggling with promises from prominent people who went on to win elections and used her as a photo op along their campaign trail. Their promises of funding never panned out.
The Tsaiko ohana started a small kine fundraiser for her that helped her at the grassroots level to keep her in operation thru the S & Q camp. It then lead to to an excellent financial source.
Now we have the perfect opportunity to gain her services full-time. What a shame it would be to let her slip thru the crack.
Thanks, Kekoa,
You are making a very compelling argument and like I said, based on your additional information, she would be an excellent choice.
In general I’m always happy to see another Varmint Frazier remnant disappear, for whatever reason.
I haven’t seen that post, homey. For some reason the server won’t let me go back there. It wouldn’t leven et me post until a few minutes ago. Please repost here if you can. Thanks.
Colt Brennan took a series of reps, against the first-team and second-team defenses.
On his first play, Brennan threw a pass across the middle that was easily intercepted by Marcus Washington, who whooped it up after the play.
Washington again torments Brennan. He gets a hand in front of a short pass to Marcus Mason running across the middle.
Brennan throws a nice deep pass to tight end Rob Goode, who makes the grab. The throw did not have a great deal of zip on it, but it produced results.
Then Brennan tossed a sideline pass to Burl Toler, who made the catch with a defender in front of him and a defender behind him. This throw had real nice touch.

Redskins.com’s training camp reports come to you as action happens at Redskins Park.
While it’s fun to get excited thinking about a skilled guy like Mouton with the ball in his hands, I’d be shocked if he touched the ball more then 10 times on offense the entire year.
Ted ~ Hate to see you have to miss the gator game. I’m thinking maybe BHF2 can “convince” your boss to let you come AFTER the game. Big Hilo is not somebody you want to say NO to!
Back from lunch!
Yeah, Gigi, I’m not a fan, but couldn’t pass on the challenge. Wasn’t there another drink…Italian I think…that you were also hooked on?

Urban Meyer wrote about the Georgia dance in his book
“Mouton takes the opening KO to the house!” And the team rushes to the endzone! 👿
Eagle – I concur. The “O” has enough weapons. But heh, if Mack wants to throw in a few wrinkles to disrupt the opponent then what the heck. 😆

Hiya!
I am really liking the Redskins areas Blogs. ‘specially Matt Teri’s “Official Redskins Blog”. He puts a Tsai-ko feel to it and I hope he is lurking here to get an idea of the kind of community that can be created when you do it right. The haters are already getting pushed out by the people who appreciate his positive approach.
He las a lot of good links all around his posts and that is where I am getting most of my Colt news. Hey- the newspaper guys in DC get it about the Colt-following. They also have similar problems with the changing times.
BRING BACK PRINCESS LEILA VIDEOS, PLEASE!:
“It’s been a tough few weeks for the newspaper industry. Layoffs. Buyouts. More bad circulation news. Local NFL teams spending half their time making sure that local media outlets don’t do anything to provide their franchise with any unnecessary exposure.
Eventually, you get tired of losing. Sometimes, you want to get video of football players talking about football during training camp, even if it’s just to prove a point, even if it’s against the rules. Sometimes, you want to win.
Well, today I won. During the lunch intermission between two-a-days, Chris Cooley and I absconded to an off-site location, at which covert video was shot by a Washingtonpost.com camera person for Washingtonpost.com, despite the fact that video is not our core business.
Of course, every win has a loss buried somewhere deep inside it. In this case, the hidden cost was my laptop, which I left at Chris Cooley’s mom’s house, accidentally. Oh well. It’s a trade-off I can live with. Check back tomorrow for the video. And please reward Chris for his kindness by spending lots of money at his blog.”

HonAdv Online guys- MAHALO for the Congrats!!!
Thanks lil buddy. Remember those days when we got all excited if we got 30 posts? 😆
sjmacro: Thanks for your acknowledgement. Yeah, too bad we missed you at the UW yesterday. We’re going back to Maui today, so I won’t have anymore opportunities to watch the practices. I was hoping I could meet some people from the blog. Oh well…next time.
D1,
Crazy old man Paterno is non stop entertainment.
I bet he keeps his money in a boot buried out in the woods.
☠
I read something earlier about Ahmad Black filling in for injured DB’s in UF’s backfield. He was the guy who left his jock on the ground when Chris Rainey scored on that flair in their Spring Game.
You remember Chris Rainey, right?
That TD by Rainey is at about the :35 mark
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrI9WDmoqtc
OK, so it looks like Black can be juked.
Hawaii just needs somebody who can do that!
DPK – I don’t remember. I lurked once in a while.
SteveM – Good number of participants attending the K-Kall! Good to see chawan is attending! Oh, and duffer!
Gongrats to the “excellent” Dave Reardon.

Kazz,
Yep.
Still crazy after all these years! 😉
Wow – the blog is really slow!
Happy Anniversary Stephen and Wena!!!
Happy 2nd year to the Warrior Beat!
Here’s a quick update from the Washington Redskins site:
3:55 p.m. ET
Colt Brennan’s Turn
Practice is moving swiftly and may be abbreviated. Jim Zorn has promised that the afternoon sessions would be shorter than the morning practices.
Notable play: Leigh Torrence reached in front of Horace Gant to break up a short pass from Todd Collins.
Colt Brennan took a series of reps, against the first-team and second-team defenses.
On his first play, Brennan threw a pass across the middle that was easily intercepted by Marcus Washington, who whooped it up after the play.
Washington again torments Brennan. He gets a hand in front of a short pass to Marcus Mason running across the middle.
Brennan throws a nice deep pass to tight end Rob Goode, who makes the grab. The throw did not have a great deal of zip on it, but it produced results.
Then Brennan tossed a sideline pass to Burl Toler, who made the catch with a defender in front of him and a defender behind him. This throw had real nice touch.
d1 – Rainey is a playah! quickness and speed!
Homey,
No doubt.
Blog acking funny kine…
NauPauLunChauWah
Oh yes, forgot to congratulate the Tsai’s, Stephen & Wena for such a long wonderful relationship.
I can only wish to be that lame…. wait, that’s not lame. Its great. I’m the lame one.

Hey Ronnie…got room at your house maybe around December 20th?
I’m thinking about taking the kids to Vegas for New Years, but have to go to Stockton to see Tani and Charlie for Christmas…don’t want to make the drive all in one day.
XLiz – That wasn’t Diana Ross. That was Michael Jackson!
The blog sure behave very squirrelly today. Anybody else having problems?
There’s no denying Florida’s speed. We have to prevent Tebow from having too much time to do his thing. The lines on both sides will determine the winner. We have some speed of our own. Our biggest ally in the first half will be the loss in the Sugar Bowl, a lot of the Gators thinking will be influenced by that game.
Hi Rob!
Come on down! (or up and over, as the case may be 😉 )
Rob25 – Ummmm, what are you trying to do?
FT – The tekkies are at it again. Did you notice they changed the format of the home page?
I wish the tekkies would leave us alone already, lol.
ʎǝɯoɥ ®:
yup – this bluegrey is ok but it’s not Warrior Green.
and the homepage tri column and no videos looks less like a TV station – which does not bode well for any PL videos in the near future…. which is consistent with the washingtonpost blog comment above.
tsai..
Oh I was trying to copy a post and separate it…you know…I’m no computer expert. Don’t even know how to make my letters upside down and backwards.
Rob25 – I’m no computer expert either. All I did was put my keyboard upside down and started typing and wallah!
XLiz – Yep, I miss PL’s videos because it gave a glimpse into the personalities of the individuals and the camaraderie they have with each other. 😥
Maybe if I revert my name back the blog will get faster.
XLiz – Was that a rhetorical question?
That wasn’t even a question…doh!
I wonder what ST is doing right now? Visiting the brewery?
ʎǝɯoɥ ®: I think that I need more CR because nothing is working right for me.
Ronnie: Don’t know for sure if I will be there, but am looking at doing New Year’s at red Rock Casino…thought the kids would like to stay there and we’d be closer to snow(?)…plus get games for me. hehehe

Hi ST!!
Thanks LizK!
Chee-Hoo!!!! Go RGM!

Ah, ST went malling! Any excerpts from the linebackers?
Hi ST!
Buy something nice for Wena?
When are you flying out?
ST, what did you buy for Wena? Too bad you can’t take her out to a romantic dinner tonight.
My dinners hardly focus on romance. It’s more like what’s on the menu and let’s try this and this and this and this…
My dinners are like this:

Whew…long day. hmmmm. what should I make for dinner?
ESPN links to a blog that profiles the story of former UH star Carl English who will be playing for Team Canada against Team USA tomorrow on ESPN 2pm Hawaii time.
XLiz – yep, I have days like that too…what is the wife making for dinner?
ST, take Wena to dine at La Mer at the Halekulani next week. I loved the elegance.
Of course, men have to wear a collared long sleeve shirt or jacket and closed shoes, and women have to wear an evening dress. I wore a black muumuu instead, though.
AL or WHITEY:
Any of you still in Las Vegas?
Umm sorry had a meeting and wasn’t “working” on my computer.
Ronnie you gone again?
Homey – Don’t you have to go to work already? Gonna have to show me some of your tricks…*cough, cough*
Colt pix abound in Tanner’s Picasa album -linked to TE Chris Cooley’s Blog (who, btw, is working with the Post sports guy… there is a funny video interview from Cooley’s mom’s house to get around the “no newspaper vids of players on the field” rule.
Anyway- here’s Tanner: http://picasaweb.google.com/cooleyfans/TrainingCampDay4a
CHING/COOKE FIELD UPDATE: According to David Hafner in the Facilities Office at UH, the bids will be opened tomorrow afternoon and that probably as many as four firms with the more restrictive contractor’s license will be submitting bids. Work will start as soon as the winning bid is confirmed. Ninety days after that we celebrate the re-opening of the field. David made it very clear that this is one of the Manoa campus’s highest capital improvements priorities.
JASON: How do we input upside down and backwards characters? It’s a cool trick, but I’m not sure if it would work with many government agencies.
Forgot to add this:
The broader issues revolving around Denny Sadowski and the Contractors License Board will not impact the selection of a contractor. However, they still have to be addressed by the Attorney General’s office as well as the State Ethics Commission and the Cepartment of Commerce and Consumer Affairs.
Aloha all! With the UH camp over, Im getting myself organized before I head off to the middle of no-where for Billys flight school grad at 7am tomorrow. By the way, he saw all the posts and got a good laugh and said to say “thanks and sure, send your beautiful daughters this way” hahahah. thats my boy.
I want to give a shout out to everyone who took the time to send me a check, contribute online or drop off ink and/or paper and/or office depot gift cards. I truly appreciate your individual generosity and your generosity as a group of tsaikos. Its been fun meeting several of you at the UH camp as well.
If by chance you sent a check and your name is not on here, it might be because everyone had the wrong PO box on the envelope (its P.O. Box 280 not 289). The Kailua Post Office people know me so Im sure I recieved all or most of the notes and checks you sent.

ha, sorry, i missed that. i can’t keep up with all the posts like you guys, i skim through.
sorry to repeat!
Yes Jason,
sorry I did get yours as well, I filed it accidentally with the SAT class payments! But I got it and thanks again!
No more SAT classes! Instead, I have to prep for the PRAXIS. 🙁
Hi, Tsai-Meister, how’s the expense account holding up?
Duffer,
Good find (284), makes my blood boil. Once again thr shibai of one guy hurts the UH program. The board better get rid of that guy fast and set things right. We finally have the funds to get things done and now this crap…..

Big hoooah to folks like you who keep the home front going so competently. You know that I have more than a few stories about some unfortunates who couldn’t. The 227th Eng company does the big stuff (build-up/tear-down)for the 29th. Parts of the company are always being attached to different units depending on mission requirements. For sure, hubby and his crew will have critical jobs to do.
Doris, I was glad to help your cause. If you have another fundraiser next year, do let us know.
Your son is so sweet and handsome. He should have no trouble finding the woman of his dreams!
Aloha and have a safe trip.
Homey and Jason
You guys are so funny! And soooo talented to make the ‘puter talk in many different ways! 😀
chawan_cut … good news is always worth repeating!
Have a great trip, Doris!
Ok… time to go home and prep for another meeting!

The Colt updates are wonderful. And, we are often reminded how far flung the spirit of Aloha is. Like, how many Texas or Florida chapters are in DC or elsewhere?
Time to get in the car and drive home…check back laterz

Texas Tech is going to be awesome this year. Watched the ESPN game against Oklahoma and just about everyone is back this year. I wonder how many of UH’s records will fall.

scray = scary
Scott Smith Released From CAL Scholarship
Saw this link on Sports Hawaii.
Link:http://www.ibabuzz.com/beartalk/2008/07/24/scott-smith/
Brief article mentioning a transfer but the school is not mentioned, nor does it indicate they know where he is transferring from.
Pauoa Boy:
Interesting name – Crabtree – seems to fit for a WR. I think only only one offensive starter – a WR – is not coming back.
NYUH – All they need is Crabtree regardless, Percy Harvin who??? I think Crabtree is the best WR in college right now…definitely Heisman material.
Howzit Tsaikos everywhere.
Ralph, thanks for the check. It’ll help knock off the $1,076, net 10 days, bill I got in the fax today for JUGS1,2. And thanks you guyz for helping Doris out. Very generous. Thats what we are, Tsaikorosity for UH and Hawaii. wooot wooot!
I been tinkin about duffer, Wassup Doc and Fla. Ted’s comments about the Cooke Ching field revitalization fix and problems noted in the blog.
Gotta aim really careful, accurate. Reputations are at stake. Careers can be lost. “…I’m trying realll hard…” said Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction. I’m feeling that way about now. For the State. For Warrior Nation! Don’t people realize we got a chance to be a recognized national power? c’mon, cut da crap and get da pingaz outta da spot. 😀
GO WARRIORS!!!!
Big Hilo Fan, I would like to donate to your cause, too. Please give me your name and address, if you don’t mind.
FloridaTed:
The original article and the supporting editorial were both in The Other Downtown Daily. No story and definitely no editorial has appeared in the HA – at least the on-line edition. I am really surprised because the concerns raised go well beyond this particular contract.
The article, which appeared on Tuesday, was written by one of the general assignment reporters who did a really good job at getting to the bottom of what is happening. The editorial appeared today.
Sorry to hear that you’ll be missing the game. Can you hear it on the radio or record it to watch when you get back home?
Off to a meeting. Back either late tonight or around 8 am Friday.
Tom,
Al just got home this am and whitey left yesterday for Alaska
You are welcome Doris
I posted yesterday that Florida has a pre-season All-SEC TE. Turns out that Coach Meyer really likes TWO TE’s on this year’s team and will run a lot of two TE alignment
Hawaii has had its share of problems with really athletic TE’s so add that to the list of things to think about…
IMO Ingram qualifies as an athletic TE.
He was thinking about leaving for the NFL and asked for an evaluation before deciding to come back for his Sr. season,
I really should leave this kind of stuff to Garret. 😳
Forgot to change the link to the info on Ingram.
…and the other guy, Aaron Hernandez, was touted as the top TE prospect coming out of HS a little while back.
The two tight ends concern me a little also, but McMackin will have a counter. We have at least 4 great DE’s, we’ll find a way, we must collapse the pocket and get to Tebow. But be it as it may, our Warriors will be in the fight of their lifes. Remember the Arizona State game? They had this All-American TE, forgot his name and we held him to one single reception all game. It can be done, we have great talent with good brains.
Couldn’t agree more with HiloFan except that a certain board member should resign for unethical behavior – assuming he has any ethics – and the board chairman should also quit as he seems to have bad judgment asking a board member to write specs that would disqualify his business rivals.
The least that should be done is to disqualify that board member from bidding on that particular contract.

Come game time at the swamp, I’ll be somewhere in Georgia driving on the I-95. I’ll have to find a sportsbar to watch, surrounded by SEC fans, should be interesting. The Georgia fans will probably be on my side, especially in my Warrior shirt.
bhf2,
Will you be at the Cattle call in Orlando? I would really like to meet you. You’re the salt of the earth kind of character we need a lot more of.
Florida chose not to nominate Tebow for the Playboy AA team for which selection would have meant a trip to the Playboy mansion.

Tom Mui,
Howzit howzit friend. tinkin about how to say what i wanna say, right. imo da protocol stuff dont matter much. da extra jazz only gettin in da way ah fixin tings b4 Nov. da bottom line is da Warriors need to use da field now, not later. dats da big criteria. fix now. period. you can bring charges against anybody, drag em thru da “process” for da next 5 years, affek dare ability to do da next job, yada yada, but take care ah dis job now. make a mistake in choozen da fixah. ai no kea. fix da field now, so long as da field meets coach’s specs. an if dis resolution creates a new problem, address da new problem after fixin da field now. imho.
tink ah it dis way. o line. d line. alwayz goin get sumtin in day way. run em ova. das how a national powah is supposed to go, run em ova. smash mout warrior football. fix now.
Nevada RB Luke Lippincott’s dad, Brian, is the head of another university’s Psychology Dept. and has been hypnotizing his son and a couple of other players before their games to enhance their performance.
Too bad the process couldn’t be sped up to involve more players; maybe Nevada wouldn’t have been “goose-egged” by New Mexico. 😀
Geez! I suck at this…
here’s the link.

Took in some of the practice this afternoon. Looks like Salas is back, sporting a mohawk, making some nice catches. Players are working hard to make their mark before training camp.
bhf2: I saw both JUGS are back and let Inoke Funaki know they are both fixed and ready to use. Contribution when I see you next weekMahalos to you. Inoke wasn’t aware that they were fixed; will relay fact that they can be used especially if there’s no one to work out with.
Warrior receivers reading this blog: JUGS are operational and use it to your best advantage.

Hi Florida Ted –
Yes, I, too had a problem with this blog today. Expended a lot of time and effort into composing my post only to have it disappear when I hit “submit comment”. 😡
Dr Doc – Best wishes to you as you endure your tests/procedures. Hope all goes as well as can be expected.
Pauoa Boy – You said “everything’s good”, so I’m “good”, too. To Mrs. Pauoa Boy – Thank you for providing your dear hubby with neverending love, loyalty and support.
LK – Belated Happy Birthday! We Tsaikos owe you a huge debt of gratitude for your kindness and unsung generosity in providing us with our precious and awesome Tsaiko name tags.
ST & Wena – Repeat of Congratulations as you celebrate 26 wonderful years of wedded bliss! Congratulations WB Blog and to its creator…2 years and many, many more exciting ones to come!
Marlis – Our deepest condolences…so sorry to hear that your beloved wife has passed away.
Princess Leila & LK – You happen to share a birthday with none other than Daniel Radcliffe aka Harry Potter, boy wizard. It’s no wonder you both are extraordinarily special people.
Stretch – My bad. I neglected to thank you for your matching donation to the HI-5 recycle effort yesterday. Mahalo!
Maybe a little insight into the gameplan for Florida?
From Mac’s WAC press conference:
Have a safe and pleasant trip Doris. We were all happy to have been able to help you. Each of the people you acknowledged are part of the whole. The other Tsaiko members have projects that they support also, so please remember that at any one time there is money being raised to help other causes.
Tell the ‘LT’ that we have a Tsaiko shot glass waiting for him to baptise when he gets home.
Funny exchange at the end of the Q&A for Mac. Maybe RGM can fill him in on Devin Hester.

Palm Beach Post goes over the top position battles during Miami’s camp.
d1shima,
You did a great job finding stuff, just like Liz and the others! I don’t read ESPN much for articles to post because I figure everyone else reads it, so I appreciate whenever someone finds stuff from there. Plus, since things have been busy here I’m not up on everything so it is great when others find stuff.
Poor Kansas (literally)…
OK then with the encouragement from Garret, let me try again…
ESPN’s blogger who covers the WAC and MWC shared some insights before leaving SLC
Note on the Pac-10 preseason picks mentions Oregon State of course.
Great job d1shima!

Girls perform just as well as boys on standardized tests in math, contrary to stereotypes by parents and teachers. Interesting that non-Asian boys score above the 99th percentile twice as often as non-Asian girls…but Asian girls score above the 99th percentile more often than Asian boys.
Cow manure is very damaging to the environment when allowed to decompose naturally, but this research found a way to process it to not only process it to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but also to generate up to 100 billion kWh of electricity!
Study found that bank web sites leave their clients vulnerable to identity theft.
Google’s Wikipedia competitor Knol has been released. The biggest change to me is that Google will place ads on the pages and those who write the Knol entries will get some of the revenue from those ads. Who is going to write the Knol entry on the Warriors?
HP and Asus laptops are free for customers who sign a 24 month mobile broadband contract with Orange (big European cell phone provider). I hope that US cell phone providers offer the same 3G/4G-enabled laptops in bundles in the near future.
How critical is it to maintain the APR?
Not only does SJSU lose 9 more schollies this year but also will lose practice time.
With the seven that they lost last year, the Spartans are down to 72 scholarships.
Free play links pau.
I didn’t realize that the APR penalties could reduce practice time! I guess not many schools have been in such bad APR shape like SJSU. Poor coach Tomey…
Garret,
Maybe the thought process is, “those guys need more study time”!
happy birthday liz!
happy birthday warrior beat!
happy anniversary wena and steve!
happy birthday pono!
Al,
Liz’s birthday is in March.
Wish LK, the badge maker, a Happy Birthday.
Who the heck is pono?
BTW, welcome back!
Welcome back, al.
OK, it’s been a long day. Been chasing down some rumors.
Then, of course, every non-blogging idiot at work keeps calling me. Sheesh.
I guess I’m really old, because the time difference is really getting to me. It’s four hours. So yesterday morning, we had to be at the breakfast at 3;30 a.m. Hawai‘i time. Then we had to listen to the commish for an hour.
Then we had to listen to some of the coaches go on and on. Not sure why, but coaches always say “the game of football” instead of just “football.”
I did go to this book store and found a book of essays by Grantland Rice. Kind of cool. I felt sorry for the original owners. it was enscribed: “Happy birthday, Ray.” Poor Ray. He must be dead. The book came out in 1954.
D1, did you see my post about the dead street light opposite my house?
Welcome back Al!
Best wishes to Dr. Doc.
Happy Birthday Pono!
tom,
as duffer says i got back this am and went ot maui and now back at home.
wreck is in las vegas for a few more days.
you going???
non-blogging idiot? That leaves Esme out.
Hi ST! I always have trouble when I travel East for work…the time change really makes the mornings hard and makes the work day seem long. I like traveling West for work because the mornings are easy and I never have trouble staying up at night.
Poor ST, he must be exhausted. Retail therapy didn’t help energize you?
Bottoms up homey–sjmacro
ST,
I remember a coach in the old Southwest Conference in the late 1980s (I was going to Texas then) who would always say “the great game of football”…I think it either was his way of showing respect for the game or it was a way for him to stall for time when he was thinking of his answer to a question.
So it’s 1:30 am where ST is. How come he’s not in bed already?
al – Is bruddah Wreck really in LV? Was he going to hook up w/ Mr. las vegas? Do you know where he’s staying?
ST – Sorry if I sound like “middle child” – but take your meds and get your rest. There’s some sort of flu-like bug going around. I have lots of family, friends, and coworkers out and/or struggling with this infection. 😀
oops. sorry.
happy birthday lk!
tks guys. i have been taking short spurts of a nap for about the past week now. crazy.
oh, pono is the black lab puppy that we kept from the litter. kind of cool, now, we have a yellow, chocolate, and black labs running around the house.
labs running around the house? There goes the carpet!
brew….
wreck was going to stay at the main street station where i just left.
the boss and i had dinner w/rasu begasu a few nights ago.
Welcome home (Uncle) Al!
Hope the machines were good to you.
AL:
Kinda silly but when you reach my age, you do silly things.
I was hoping to get two roll of quarters from some Casino in LAS. Impossible to find Statehood quarters in Hawaii!!!
A couple of years ago, I was at a wedding in LAS and got a whole bunch of quarters that I was missing!
al, how was the smoke in the hotel? That would bother me the most.
gigi,
No, it was too dark to read.
al – Mahalo for the info! 777 Brew Pub – 😀
Tom – No more coins anymore! Your best bet is to make friends at your local BoH or 1st Hwn branch and ask them.
Tom, are you a coin collector? Hubby owns a book of silver coins. It’s been years since I looked at them so I don’t remember the denomination. Either quarters or half-dollars.
Stephen,
Will you be sharing any Mormon folk songs with us at the KCall?
D1. I complained to the mayor’s rep. The lamp bulb will be replaced.
gosh most casinos don’t run the quarters much. its bills and a paperless world out there for the slots.
hawaiianbod…..good to see you posting again brother. i never have too much luck on the machines, well, except for the poker. i enjoy blackjack though.
actually did okay and bought a lot of stuff.
the boss on the otherhand had one very good day and well, you know the odds catch up.
great trip, we extended two extra days. met las vegas. boss’ cousin and husband was there. so we did a lot of stuff at red rock, green valley, shoppng, shopping, and eating.
the daughter came up and spent a day with us, too.
………
gigi, the main street station has high ceilings and is a smaller place.
and these days, many of the new casinos have higher ceilings, smoke diffusers, and a fragrance about them.
besides less smokers in the casinos these days. they say smokers are a dying breed.
gigi,
Good thing it’s an election year.
Gallows humor?
Al- hydee hou their neighbor! Welcome back to the valley.
Dr-Doc- Hang in there buddy! We’re all pulling for you!
LK- Happy Eva Aftah Berfdey!
ST- You gotta put your pen to the paper and start writing your own books, brah. I read for many years, a portion of one floor of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism was designated the “Grantland Rice Suite”. Perhaps someday, UH will do the same for you. Well, hopefully- more than just a waste basket in some corner.
Those Fargin Bastiges!!
Welcome home Sensei Al.
I tried to keep law and order around the Hacienda while your were tearing up the machines and destroying the odds at LV. Turns out the law was trying to keep me instead! Hehehe, no can, too slippery.
See you this weekend. Get some rest so you have your body clock back on Hawaiian time.
Ahhh…777 Pub.
Could go for the Prime Rib Special about now!
a-joe – Tell the Mrs. not to eat the bait! 😆
I wouldn’t mind staying at the Venetian. Would remind me of the Hilton Waikoloa’s gondolas.
400?
dang
Wish I could stick around with the Night Shift but I gotta get an early start in da maw-nin’ so can get “outta town” early…. 😉
Oyasumina-tsai
Brew- Rajah dat! Ova! =)
Hey Jason,
Whath out!,

G’nite d1島:
Thanks for your help.
Joe, I bought The Perfect Season, which contains ST’s football articles. Too bad, his name is not on the title page. But in essence, it is HIS book because it has his writings.
d1….prime rib at the redwood grille at the cal. is monster.
24 oz for 27 bucks in a great setting.
its bone in, but i swear.
kekoa, i heard about the escapade. mwahahahaha.
Pardon the interruption again.
I keep forgetting about the altitude here. It dries you up.
Al, did you dine at masaboy’s restaurant?
venetian vs waikoloa
no comparison.
besides the venetian has phantom of the opera.
ajoe…..i thought you were the mrs. sounded like her. anyway, you down for thai food????
Thanks (Uncle) Al!
Main thing is that you and the Boss enjoyed yourselves.
What’s happening tomorrow, ST? Are you flying back home?
Yep, Gigi, I return home tomorrow.
It’s my middle daughter’s 19th birthday tomorrow.
So ST- did you find any substance to the rumors??
no…too pricey for me.
st….lots of water when flying or in higher altitudes. it’ll also relieve some gas associated with high altitudes.
hbod…..yup. we needed that.
Nitey Nite!
Sweet Dreams, ka kou!
So, a guy from my fifth-grade class in New York started e-mailing with updates. It’s amazing how so many did all right. Then there was my best pal, Josh Korda, who became a yogi.
Happy Anniversary to the Tsais……
Al:
I used to believe that if you can’t hear it, it has no odor.
I was wrong.
Does the yogi now live in India or New York?
Wena celebrated our anniversary by going to a bridal shower.
I celebrated by listening to Karl Benson argue that he is not Mr. Straight and Narrow.
And, of course, many speeches on the “game of football.”
funny how I recognized a 5th grade classmate at a RHS reunion, but he didn’t recognize me. Of course, back then, I had buck teeth.
Gigi:
He lives in Brooklyn.
Google “Josh Korda,” both on the Web and images.
Mouton doesn’t have to touch the ball on offense to be effective. For example, he could be used as a decoy on short-yardage goal line situations.
d1, the prime rib special at the 777 Pub is one of my favorites too.
Stephen how is the weather in Salt Lake City? Have you had a chance to visit the Budweiser plant?
Googled Josh Korda. Thought his interactive web design flipped pages too fast so it was difficult to read.
It’s been pretty humid.
I think this is the first time I’ve been in Utah during the summer.
I visited Brooklyn only once in all the years I lived in NYC. Attended an opera there, performed by a friend and her company.
Gigi:
Check his myspace.
ST, daughter will fly to Utah next month. RT on Delta cost just $650.
I don’t think I’ve ever been to an opera.
My dad’s firm used to have the theater accounts in the 1970s. So, every other Friday, we used to see Hair.
I think there’s nothing better than live performances. That’s why sports is so dramatic.
Howdy Mr. Tsai, brother al, and Ms. gigi. Happyanniversary! I guess we could say that at two years old, the WB is now a “toddler”. Are we heading into the terrible twos? 😆
haha I remember Hair. Saw it in Munich in 1969. It was in German. “Liebe, liebe, liebe!” or Love, love, love. Can’t imagine seeing it more than once!
hiya Kid!
Never been to an opera? Just set the blog to music one day… We’ve got all the other ingredients. 😉
Gigi:
That’s not so bad a price, is it?
Utah’s a nice state. And the people are really nice.
But it’s better in the winter. A few years ago, we drove to Sundance. That’s a pretty remarkable place. It’s not very big.
Hey momo, hey Ralph!
Sundance? Robert Redford’s place?
“And Love will steer the stars.” The music of “Hair” changed my life. Or not…
Wow. I’m getting snubbed by DPK.
DPK is contemplating a move into a stage performance of “La Tsaiko” the Opera? I’m all in!
ST, see #435 for DPK’s greeting to you.
gigi:
yep, Robert Redford’s place.
Very rustic, as they say.
You have to navigate a difficult road to get there.
OK. DPK did say hi.
I’m sss….sss…sssorrry.
I finally got an iTouch too.
I’ll try to keep up with the rest of you iPhone and iTouch Tsai-kos. 🙂
SteveM, that must have cost a lot. Was it $400?
I think that’s what Wreck said he paid for his.
It was I who was snubbed, Lord Tsai, but forsooth my love you overcometh all…
*DPKs scintillating tenor fills the air as he sings a tragic song of snubbery gone horribly awry… Lord Tsai’s baritone answers in sss.. ss… stuttering apology.*
“my love for you” sorry, extemporaneous opera is tougher than it sounds.. 😆
Welcome to the dark side, SteveM.
A tip when downloading apps from the App Store (if you decide to shell out the money for the 2.0 update): download straight to your iPod touch via a Wi-Fi connection, if at all possible. Some of my desktop downloads have been corrupting my iPod touch. They don’t install correctly, and then all my downloaded apps crash to home. (At least there’s no BSOD.) No such crashes when I download straight to iPod touch. Of course, there is the occassional crash when running an app that isn’t quite stable, but it doesn’t corrupt everything like the faulty installation does.
haha DPK, where did you go all this time? I thought everybody fell asleep.
Hi SteveM, have fun posting! It takes a while to get the hang of it. Good luck! Remember practice makes perfect!
ST ~ I came across a negative bit of information about a certain UH coach while they were ‘down under.’ Was wondering if you heard any rumblings about this particular coach.
The word on the street is it could cause Coach Mack a small headache. I’ll see you when you get home and let you decide how long it’ll take to make this go away.
gigi-
Since it was the second anniversary today, I thought I’d hang out and enjoy the “toddler”. Blogs are so cute at this age.
Hi ST — how long before you depart Salt Lake?
The 8-GB model I have is usually $300 ($299). I saw a “refurbished” offer at the Apple site for $199 so I finally broke down. I have been wanting one since last Christmas.
Buying a “refurbished” iPod unit sounds spooky. But I have bought Apple refurbished computers before with good luck so for $200 I’ll take a chance. It has a full warranty and you can buy AppleCare–I didn’t.
Well, good to see everyone tonight, but my eyes are closing so I’ll just say:
g’nite, folks.
wow, $199? Maybe I should buy one for my daughter if she is interested.
*Kekoa and DPK sing in tenor harmony…
‘Gooooood night Miss gigiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!! Gooood night Miss gigiiiiiiiii!!!* :ol:
😆 <–Kinda looks like a guy singing opera doesn’t it?
DPK is such a sweetheart. Thanks for the farewell.
OK, good night for real.
Let’s try this again, shall we.
*Kekoa and DPK sing in tenor harmony…
‘Gooooood night Miss gigiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!! Gooood night Miss gigiiiiiiiii!!!* 😆 😆
Thanks for the advice Jason. Myki — I’m on my iMac now–typing with a full keyboard is much faster. Yes, I started to get a little faster before I posted.
I rationalize that the iPod portion is for Peaches and ALL her songs. I want it for the web browsing–specifically the blog 🙂
Good device to have when traveling ( although an iPhone is best) –too bad I have no travel plans… 🙁
Good night all.
My very first iPod was refurbished. It worked for a long time, but not at full capacity. I guess they never replaced the battery, so it started giving me fits early in my time with it. The thing still worked, but sometimes it would “die” an hour or two after a full charge, like it had considerably less capacity. Then after fifteen minutes, it would work at half battery, only to “die” later on again.
Good night, Kid and gigi…
Good night everyone!
SteveM: Why do you think I caved in and bought my iPod touch, so I could use it when I travel. The hard part is finding Wi-Fi connections, though.
New blog is up.
Jason — I look at the iPod Touch as an alternative to my laptop if I want to travel light. A lot of hotels and shopping malls have free WIFI. But finding free hotspots can be a problem. Since you have RR, you can jump on their net –which looks like it is expanding. I never have though… but see
http://www.oceanic.com/OceanicWebApps/Internet/RoadRunner/SpeedZone.html
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
But more ubiquitous internet access is through the mobile phone technologies like the wireless modem for laptops or the iPhone, Treo, etc.. However, the cost of the phone type minutes are higher. Very ubiquitous, but but slightly more than free 🙂
ooops– now I’m down for the night….
happy aniversary Stephen
