Dan the Man
You probably don’t recognize the name.
And you probably won’t know the face, unless you can recall that business-college commercial where the guy says: “Tell me about yourself.”
But television viewers will miss Dan Schmidt, who won’t be retained as part of the KHNL-KGMB-KFVE shakeup.
Schmidt has been been part of the KHNL-KFVE family — or the broadcast ancestors — for more than 25 years.
He is a gifted director. Those UH victories over BYU? That was captured under his direction.
He knows the business, and he has a great appreciation for Hawai‘i’s people.
Classy as always, he will help the transition.
A local sportscaster today described Schmidt as the “heart and soul” of that station.
The bosses might not realize it now, but Schmidt will be missed.

The Warriors today ended training camp with an extended walk-through practice. The Warriors need the rest: the fall semester starts Monday.

Hello. Hello. Echo echo.
Happy B-day Ralph!
Best of luck to Mr. Schmidt.
Inoke is the second best qb on the team, so the fact that three others are vying for #2 says a lot about how the season rests on Greg Alexander’s shoulders.
Eight.
I feel like Garrett.
Post after post.

Aloha stadium to allow small coolers starting October.
afternoon tsaiko’s
also watching the redskins and waiting for the coltster to appear
smelling the rain which is starting to fall
Brought over from yesterday’s page:
Tsaikos, Don Weir and bhf2: super job on the bike project. Seems like I’ll be taking a picture of bhf2 on the Schwinn IC Pro in Vegas. The following link show last summer’s JUGS repair project–sjmacro

where did you get this info? really hope this is true.
koakane you better find out what small means, a 18 pak might be prohibited
Had a nice feed on channelsurfing.net. Campbell sucks. Bring on Colt!
howzit Tsaikos. thanks for the link
Middle of the second quarter, Collins comes is. Hopefully, we’ll see Colt in the third quarter.
Need to contact the Stadium Authority on Monday on another subject and will ask about the coolers. The July Regular Meeting minutes are not yet posted.
Ralphie,
Your berfday present is that the Raiders are up 7-0 over the Niners in the 2nd half…
Go Niners! Go Redskins! Go Cardinals!
GO WARRIORS!!!
Malasadas compliments of Na Koa this morning were the real old-fashioned, true Portagee malasadas. Mahalo! If you haven’t joined Na Koa yet, go. Call Don Weir. 🙂
Chase Daniels?! WTF?! Where’s Colt??!!
Oh oh. Third quarter and Colt is not in. Chase Daniel is in.
Hurry, Colt. I need to wash my car. An hour ago, I was ready to wash the dirt magnet, felt a drop of rain, then postponed the wash.
Zorn is really startin’ to piss me off…
And to think I used to like Zorn as a Seahawk.
Not good in regards to Colt not being in………
I still prefer to see Colt as a 49er
Hiya
Byea
Gotta runna…
Skins are looking much better today!
Gotta go to an event before Colt has a chance to come in- if he does.
If not… always the next time. Everyone getting their looks!
ps- live blog Skins game here:

Chase just threw a Touchdown…Colt demoted to 4th string…
For anyone who went to the Sugar Bowl and made it Johnny White’s on Bourbon St., you’ll remember Lynn Sapir, the Iolani and UH alumnus who owns Johnny White’s with his wife Janeen. Lynn and Janeen were back in town for the first time in over 5 years. They hadn’t been back since before Katrina. It’s been really rough economically in New Orleans. Lynn said the Sugar Bowl week was the best week for business that he has had since Katrina and the most fun he ever had running Johnny White’s. He thanks all who stopped by. He really appreciated all the Hawaii support. He also said if anyone from Hawaii is in New Orleans to stop by and he’ll buy you a drink.
Ricky, how do you know he’s been demoted for 4th string? Do you mean just for this game? Or are you talking about the rest of this preseason? I think Zorn is putting some pressure on Colt and also putting him in 4th so that he could face some easier competition and build some confidence, of which he had none of last week. Either way, Colt has to start stepping up a bit more in practice I think.
Still Daniels….
Second Redskin possession of the quarter and Chase remains the QB
Coner:
All I know is that Zorn was quoted by the Virginia press that He wanted to see what Chase can do. I don’t think “allowing Colt to face some easier competition” has anything to do with it…
So far, Chase is playing really well…..
Well Colt, time to step it up my friend
One good drive does not a good QB make. Colt had some great drives last year, and now this? Go figure…
Second TD pass by Chase
Chase just threw for another touchdown…wow…he looks really good!
Soooooo um, Ricky are you a Warriors fan?
absolutely, I’m a Rainbow fan…season ticket holder for 30 years…I just work in Virginia…
Cool.
11:47 left in the game….and we finally see Colt. I hope he’s in rhythm.
is Zorn gonna let Colt throw the ball? jeez
5 plays – all runs….Come on Zorn, pass THE BALL…
Auryyyte!
and again!
atta boy Colt!
Good, quick throw, Colt
Darn. Colt tried to thread the needle and got picked.
dagnabbit!
sh*t
Geez….Colt just threw an interception!!!!!
DPK sorry for being late, but it was a pleasure to finally meet you at the practice yesterday.
Sorry don’t like the skins never have never will (what can I say I was born in Pittsburgh). Colt needs to get out of Washington I don’t think he will see the field as long as he’s there.
And the pick occurred near the goal line. That hurt.
Honeslty, I think Daniel is getting to Colt’s head a little bit, Colt should not of thrown that pass c’mon Colt.
Ralph, Happy Birthday!
Dang, Dang, Dang. Come on Colt!!!!
BTW conrats to grandpa curveball and grandma LizK.
Hopefully, the skins defense will give Colt a chance to redeem himself
Okay! Let get the ball back to Colt so he can redeem himself.
Great to meet you too, Pomai! 😉
BHF2: thanks for stepping up and getting the bike for the team.
Skins has the ball with a minute left, but they aren’t going to let Colt do a thing.
Zorn making Brennon kneel for the last 3 plays…Zorn is really pissimg me off!
The Redskins WON! but not a good showing for Colt.
Game over. Chase played a better game than Colt. It may be a bad time for Colt next week.
just saw the end of game and don’t know what to make of Colt’s time with the Redskins or with the NFL. certainly did not go well and only time will tell what will happen. best thoughts go out and wishing him well.
Please trade him. Da ‘Skins don’t deserve him.
We still support Colt and the other Warriors, no matter what team they play for.
Redskins’ offense is a mess and a bore. At qb, I don’t see a clear #1, 2, or 3, so where does that leave them?
It is going to be a frantic two weeks for JC, TC, Colt and Chase.
Mad Dog: Thanks for the link to the Skins game. Pick a week sure doesn’t help.-sj
It’s just preseason.
There’s a lot of time.
I think.
I’d better wash the clunker. Maybe I’ll feel another raindrop and just take a nap on the couch before dinner. Thanks everyone for sharing the game with me.
Lava: maybe skins should change the order = Chase, Colt, TC, JC 💡
Hey ‘wafan’, I also used to like Zorn when he was a gunslinging left hander who would roll-out,scramble a lot, and would launch bombs to Steve Largent. Remembering that, it’s ironic & seems to border on hypocrisy that Zorn is the architect of this somnambulent, constipated, footwork-obsessive Offense. Colt just seems to be stagnating there. Perhaps if we could bring the younger-version of Zorn to the present,, he would be in 5th place ’cause he would be benched by Zorn the Elder. DPK, I’m also pissed by Zorn & I agree with others that he’d have more of a chance elsewhere. Unfortunately, the fickle finger of fate seems to be pinning Colt’s Jersey to Redskin turf.
When the smoke clears and all is said and done, I believe the skins will retain CB because of his experience and size over Chase…it seems to me that the skins are sold on a qb’s size more than anything else.
Today wasn’t his, but Colt will get his day.
I think today was Michelle Wie’s day. She played very well, but more than that, for the first time, she was one of the girls. She is finally accepted and respected and you can see she is finally feeling the aloha from the LPGA ohana. Her confidence and enthusiasm was powerful and as a backer of local athletes, it was emotional to see her really happy. The players know her now and there is no negativity with her standing as a person, a player, a teammate and fellow American. The power of being a part of a team and representing your country has jump started her career. I think she is now on her way to great things.
Go Michelle!
Well as far as stats go, Chase Daniel had the better night. Colt just has to get it done, or his 3rd-string status could be in jeopardy. It’s a business in the NFL, and Colt needs to get his business done. 3 games to go man, time to step it up!
I spy KindaShy and hubby @ Mililani HS watching the JV game
haka: ditto your #81. Great to see Michelle reacting in a “team” sport –sj
Got my fb tickets today…game on.
no worry about colt.
next week he competes for number 2. eventually they release collins now that daniels can fill the emergency position.
hard to believe, but most of us who cheer for m wie felf that her putting was her downfall. lo and behold, finally her management company, IMG, realizes that and hires Dave Stockton and his son to work on her putting stroke and let Ledbetter do only the swing part. She had only a week training with the Stocktons’ and she elevates her game for the Solheim. Dave said that she would need about 3 wks to get used to the change, but it is amazing that she understands and uses her new putting stroke in a week’s time. small change is more open stance and ball moved back.
al, plus combined both CB and CD make less than TC.
Watched Frisco today. Colt should go there. He can make the the throws that the Frisco qbs couldn’t. Frisco appears to have a really good oline that can block. And they can run the ball.
Whitey I heard that the Stockton’s are also working on her short game. Putting and around the green. She did better with her putter and came close to the hole on a few others, rimming out or just a tad off the cup but her game is a lot better. Ledbetter acknowledge her putting need improvement and his wife worked with MW, I wonder why he didn’t just bring in another coach for putting years ago.
Colt did well until the interception. He hasn’t been totally zorned.
Now I’m watching that amazing drive in the 2007 Fresno State game where UH used a type of pistol formation that led to several catches by LWJ and a very long TD run.
ralph, i think one of the major teaching of ledbetter is that he is mechanically sound on all parts of the golf stroke, but that is where the problems lies, too mechanical!!!!!
another thing about Stockton is that he is still regarded to be a great putter and has an excellent short game. i thought if they needed putting lessons they would have gone to brad faxson, but stockton is also a good choice. for her swing, i think she should come back to hawaii for a little while and work with casey nakama to get back her smooth, big swing.
Bring back the black! BTW, why was Hawaii wearing the lighter colors in the home game against Washington?
66 – 34 pac 5 over mckinley with 6:31 to go in the 3rd quarter, THAT’S RIGHT, THE 3RD QUARTER…..
Pac 5 QB tied the record for TD passes, 8……guess who he tied…..none other than former Crusader, Warrior…Timmy Chang…it’s on OC-16 right now….. a shootout
I dunno if I really want to say, Happy Birfday, ole Ralphie!!! have a good one!
ah shucks, I also wanted to tell Ralphie, nani nani boo boo – our 49ers won!!!
haka:
must agree with you that Michelle Wie is really doing well at the Solheim
( sp?) Cup.
her confidence is really soaring and if she continues her play on the regular tour, she may just win one before heading back to Stanford. few can now criticize her short game and putting. funny thing is that when other well known golfers, male or female (including Tiger), used to miss short puts, they (annnouncers and analysts) seemed not to dwell on it like they do for Michelle.
just like UH, certain individuals just don’t like people from Hawaii or people playing for Hawaii.
Ralph,
da 49ers won. boo hoo hoo hoo
i wuz pullin for you, Ralph. for your birthday. 😆
Great news about Kent Kafentzis! From Don Weir on SportsHawaii:
Hopefully the swine flu doesn’t hit the Warriors…Tulane’s preparation for the season really has been disrupted by the swine flu. 22+ players may be infected infected!
Two Dolphin players might be out with the swine flu…they defend Bess in practice, so hopefully he didn’t catch anything from them.
Washington Examiner reviewed the key plays in the game and said this about Colt’s INT:
Watching OC16 online and waiting for the Damien-Roosevelt game. I would usually cheer for the roughriders since I would have gone there if I didn’t go to Damien, but they are playing my alma mater so GO MONARCHS!!!
Really bad day for Colt, especially with Chase Daniel doing well with basically the same players that he struggled with the past two games. Combined with the last game, it not only is clear that Colt doesn’t have any shot at the #2 QB position anymore, he’ll have to play well to prevent the calls for Chase to get stronger.
There still are more preseason games. However, remember that the first-team offense will play almost all of the next-to-last preseason game, with the backup QB playing the rest of the game. So, that is one less game for Colt to play. And instead of getting all of the final game, he’ll now have to split that playing time with Chase.
Congratulations to the Spokane Shock! AF2 Champs!!
For those who want some other team to pick up Colt, no team is going to trade for him if he doesn’t do well this preseason. Colt himself talked about that before this preseason–the game tape isn’t just important to Washington, it is an audition for every other NFL team.
Colt has bounced back from so much adversity in his life and he’s great with his back against the wall. However, there basically is no margin for error left given the time left this preseason.
Bad news that Miami started a rookie WR (their 4th round draft pick) instead of Bess today.
Bess came off the bench in the preseason game and caught just one pass. Even worse, he dropped a pass that would have gone for a first down. Drops in consecutive games means that the two WRs Miami drafted and Camarillo will be pushing Bess hard for that starting spot.
So coming this Monday two things are certain. One the Warriors will probably be 9 practice days, plus one walk thru day away from kickoff. The other is that the training camp roster, currently with 105 players will be augmented with another 15-20 players (?).
From a fan’s prospective, I would think watching Monday’s practice would be interesting.
For you’ll have more players on the field fighting for spots.
And with, maybe,the lesser knowns getting into the faces of the knowns could see alot of bad blood spilling, especially with the countdown to the season just around the corner… and winning spots in the lineup are up for grab. In other words they will be heightened competition and a urgency in catching the coaches attention come Monday.
IMO the predictability of hot tempers flying and maybe a scuffle starting are higher on this day than maybe others because you have these two groups merging together. And with so much on the line and the lesser knowns having pent up emotions, Monday will be interesting.
Another caveat: with the break up of camp today, the intimacy amongst the players decreases and it opens the window for the campers, now, losing their inhibitions and maybe their emotions spilling on the practice field, too, now.
Anyway, my gut feeling tells me that Monday’s practice will probably be the most spirited to date.
On a positive note, Bess wasn’t going to return any punts today because they were going to give all the punt returns to Chris Williams. Unfortunately for Chris Williams, he let a punt hit him in the face mask and lost the resulting fumble…so Bess got a punt return. On a negative note, the rookie WR that took Bess’ starting job got to return 2 punts to the 1 punt they gave Bess.
Review of how Miami’s punt returners did.
Interesting article about the financial situation for college athletic programs.
The top 25 college athletic departments make money (an average of $4 million per school) and the other 94 D-IA programs lose money (an average of $10 million per school!). Every school in the divisions below D-IA loses money on athletics.
The stock market crash really hurt the endowments of Universities, which has caused a lot of athletic budgets to be cut. Texas decided to put their money into *money-making facilities* instead of an endowment and they have come out FAR ahead because of that.
Some examples of schools cutting teams. It is sad that men’s baseball is a popular candidate to be cut.
I’m glad that the people managing UH’s endowment pulled UH’s money out of the stock market when the crash started…UH ended up losing a much smaller percentage of its endowment than Harvard, Princeton and Oklahoma State.
Per Garret’s post #116 we got to hope Trap is able to coach the team to an exciting year with lots of wins, with wins and excitement comes fan enthusiasm and participation. Two years ago, baseball lost about $800K, last season with early season excitement the red line dropped to about 300K. Will 2010 bring our first black numbers in Trap’s tenure?
The LA Times has BSU as the #12 team in the country. I didn’t realize that 2 out of 3 times that BSU went undefeated they were beaten by Utah for a BCS spot. I *know* how UH fans would have felt if Utah ran the table in 2007 and UH would have been left out of the BCS…with the strength of schedule for UH, Utah would definitely have been selected instead of UH for the BCS spot if they had run the table.
Ralph,
Breaking even would be a *huge* accomplishment for Coach Trap. Not many baseball teams can do that, but we know that wins will bring out the fans.

Kahuku leading Punahou 14-0 at da half.
Garret ~ @ #121….American Air with their wifi upgrade is ok.
~ But will they leave us stranded on the taramac one day?
~ Will they refund your money with at least a reasonable service fee like 15% instead of nothing at all?
~ Will they bring the cost of that bag fee down?…I don’t think so.
I’ve had it with some of the other customer service improvements that Hawaiian Air has implemented, with much more to come!
Re: first day.
Actually, it should be pretty mellow.
Many of the original first-day guys — Alema Tachibana, Joseph Malabuyoc, Ikaika Rodenhurst — were brought in early as injury replacements.
UH will be focusing on Central Arkansas stuff. The first-day guys knows they’ll probably redshirt or have limited time this year.
Kekoa,
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
I can’t remember this – is there a limit on how many players suit up each home game, or was a limit something that JJ started?
Ralph ~ Your Mililani Trojans are ahead of Leileihua 21-10 and Kahuku still leads Punahou 17-7.
el guapo ~ @#130…True dat!
Ouch…the Roughriders leading the Monarchs 21-0 at half.
So who is going to travel with the team and play scout team qb?
dj . . .
DMS self-destructing. Ugh.
dj & Wafan ~ I didn’t want to say anything about that DMS score. It was ugly in the 1st half!
wafan,
yup. too many mistakes
Kekoa,
Someone’s nephew just went 55 yards for a touchdown for the Monarchs
My nephew #21 for DMS finally broke a 55 yarder for their 1st TD! Missed da extra point…grrr!
I’m guessing all of the QBs travel, because Moniz also plays special teams.
Moniz strikes me as a candidate tor the ‘Noke spot.
24-14 final for Kahuku over the Puns!
ST ~ Rough Riders looking…ROUGH! Pat Silva doing a great job there.
Happy birthday Ralph 🙂
if Mililani holds and with a Leilehua loss, everything else goes through Waianae for the West. Kahuku in the East. Kapolei lost to Waianae yesterday.
Rough Riders over the Monarchs…27-13. Blah.
Happy Birthday Ralph
tomorrow match, michelle w vs helen alfredsen
tomorrow first team to win 6 points wins the Solheim Cup

time to say good night. good night tsaikos
Ralph,
Overall team speed for Mililani was too much for Da Mules. Stephenson’s TD run was amazing! Wonder if UH still has a shot at him?
Got my tickets today, too! 😀
Auryte!!!
As I have been saying all along, Zman will and has, taken the “gun” out of Colt’s monicer, “____slinger”….I hope he leaves. The system doesnt fit.

Still waiting for information about what to expect at Tuesday’s Cattle Call so I know how much money to bring. Buffet? Each person order individually off the menu? Family-style & split the tab?
Time to get some sleep – busy day tomorrow including chores, church, and RFC plus maybe even a little bit of MLB in the afternoon.
Well done Kahuku! Well done!!!!!
Hiya!
Had a most wonderful evening of Hawaiian music! Will share more from my blog tomorrow, already posted some stuff on fb.
Looks like Colt had a rough day at the office. Will say a prayer for him tonight.
nitey nite and SWD!
Thanks to oldie I just watched the Warriors beat Miami of Ohio.
Colt talked about Chase doing well and about his INT.
ST,
Interesting that all 4 QBs could make the travel roster. If Moniz wins the #2 QB spot, will he still be playing special teams?
I think that it is great that Kalani Brackenridge will play baseball for UH for the next 3 years. Talented local players could really help the team win and bring in more fans…plus, partial scholarships to local players save UH money as compared to partial scholarships to mainland players. Reducing expenses for a sport that has been losing money is good.
Given that they haven’t worked on the ha’a all training camp and Rocky’s quote in the paper today, I”m guessing the ha’a will not be done this season. That is too bad…but if the players feel that they need to focus on preparing for the season instead of the ha’a, they know best.
Natasha Kai’s team won the first championship for the Women’s Professional Soccer league. They barely made the playoffs, but they beat the first and second seeded teams to win.

no bighilo, susan wants her breakfast
Michelle’s kickin’ some okole in her matchup:
Michelle Wie, United States, leads
Helen Alfredsson, Europe, 2 up thru 3
No news is good news? Not hearing much about the Warriors.
…Michelle’s about to go 3 up thru 6. Dropped a ball 6 feet from the cup from 175 yds out.
Ralph, Ralph Ralph
😆 😆 😆
Wie up 3 after 6. She’s enjoying herself, playing good golf and because Daniel is Team Captain and the Solheim team is bonding together Wie’s parents aren’t around her. I always felt if BJ wasn’t in her face, Wie would be more relaxed and be herself on the golf course, Wie would have won a long time ago.
Loss of the Ha’a would be a shame. Maybe UH should have something like the Rainbow Dancers that would keep the dance alive.
I dont’ think killing the Ha’a is going to keep the media from talking about the infamous McMackin Notre Dame comment. That is just too juicy and God forbid that the media announcers would actually do some good research on the players.
I agree its a style management problem.
for example, Ron and Nick. day let Earvin get away. 😀 his bradda wen steal dat tall guy. 😀 he always doin dat to da bradda… an he makes it up by stuffin da bradda’s face. 😀

Gentle breezes blowing, hope they keep up today. Have a good day, everyone!
Coach Ron
i know you’re a well respected coach, like you were UH receivers coach. i read up on what Bess said about his time here, and he’s not the only one. i know what you said about his work ethic and savvy, and maybe at this level you leave certain things to the young men to find their own way and drive level, to stamp themselves for future success in life.
imo, you could have held onto Sione instead of the defense stealin that kid. i think of it this way. Instead of him living kPT or lower Kalihi, which might make sense 😯 to summa us stereotype kine peeps, you could have groomed him to feel natral livom St. Louis Heights. 🙄
let me look in my toolbox, look up
motivashunal speakinz,
Michelle has given back her lead…all square through 11 now.
Wie slumping, after 11th, all tied. Her putting is in the tank, she got it in her head, taking extra putts after each of the last 3 holes. Can’t be thinking too much about the missed opportunities, got to focus on the next hole.
…what did he say….? 🙄 😕 😕
What the heck are they talking about being “all square”? Isn’t the darn ball round, the hole round, the clubs are sticks, the course is 3D…. where is it “square”? 😕 🙄 😕
BTW…. 😀

2. Vote on the future status of the ha’a
3. Name the team captains
4. List the offensive and defensive depth charts
5. Name the back up QB
6. Players start school Monday, arrange schedule, purchase
books etc.
7. Media blitz, as next Sunday will be the last weekend
before the opening game. Probably see an extensive
preview of the upcoming season with interviews with the

Great effort from all! Tsaikos have HEART!!! 😀

hey Bpew you’ve been absent for a few nights and early mornings, too much work or management up setting your apple cart.
Time for some catch-up: 😐
Prayers, positive wishes to the Uperesa’s, the Kafentzis’, to all the Warriors with nicks and bruises, and bum-wings (Brash!!!, Cory, Kenny E, Mouton), Big-C & ‘ohana, and anyone else in the Tsaiko ‘ohana I might have missed. 😐
Hey berfday… “boy”….
When Niner Head Coach Singletary says (in their commercials), “Our philosophy is to hit em in the mouth“…. it is just a motivational sort of statement.
Raider Head Coach Cable….. just PUNCHES!!! 🙄
MW 1 up with the 18th to go
Hey…. anyone still here? ST finally woke up and posted a new one…. 😀
Sneaky-good?
What you got to like about this 2009 team thus far during camp is they have field personality. Make no mistake, it is in the nasty category. Not the strut-stuff you see at the foyer of a dorm or the raucous banter you hear at their training table or in their pre-game ha’a rituals– but on the field: with helmet to helmet clunks, body-slams and hand-to-hand grunts….aint that the spirit of the warrior?
These 2009 warriors have fight….and something more–they are sneaky.
They arent brilliant nor bad, just sneaky enuff to hammer you with a left hook when you least expect it–on both sides of the ball as well as STs. I suspect, it is the CHEMISTRY betw staff and players that has coalesced into binding this enriched admixture…. an immeasureable subtlety that is difficult to quantify but obvious to recognize…..at least to bloggers that have thrown away stop watches, boorish stats, depth charts and injury reports. Defining this team doesnt require algebra, it’s astrology with T-leaves and Hawaiian salt….something Nainoa Thompson can understand on starless nights in the doldrums.
eh, anyone can break down the math–that’s Y we have geeks.
But go configure the transcendental stuff–u know, the strange bounce of the ball, the pass that gets deflected, the 5th down, the penalty that wasnt called, the Xtra point that hit the cross-bar or maybe the wrong pass-route that was caught for the winning TD ala ASH-of -the-past.
As H-Hour draws near to our Sept 4th opener and WARRIOR game plans are tweaked and tightened– we should just all focus on ONE team–the Big Bad Bears from Conway, Arkansas.
We are at 12 days and hours away as warrior countdown continues….take deep breathes and breath in slowly and hold…..relax….and visualize….these guyz, O-D-STs,
just maybe…. are SNEAKY-good!

LAVA #134
I kinda remember that the scout team doesn’t travel (since only 65 travel) and so the 2nd team offense/defense have to do the job.
BHF2
Betty and I were in Hilo for a Friday-Sat fast pitch softball tournament with Hilo, Kona, Kauai, and Oahu…young guys and makule. We can’t say enough about the hospitality, aloha, and fuuud that the local folks put on display. Great folks putting on a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Games went on all day and ended with a massive and ono dinner at the pavilion before we dragged our tired bodies back to the hotel. On Sat morning, Betty and I got up early and headed down to the farmers’ market where we enjoyed walking around and picking up some delicious breakfast. I made it a point to travel by your office on our way back to the park. Betty was duly impressed when I pointed and said, “Big Hilo works there!” Thank you! Thank you for being the spear point for bicycles!
The only thing that upset me when we were in Hilo was the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel did not have wireless wifi. A 3rd party provided rented internet service through a data port which was fine…but who carries around a hard wire connector anymore?!! For 2 days I used my laptop as a paper weight LOL

Great to see you on the blog again! Sitting in Kuwait should have been good duty, but I know that’s not what you guys were doing. Looking forward to seeing you and Robyn on the 4th. The excitement builds!!!
Mahalos to the many contributors for their practice reports! I’m dealing with the age old dilemma…is the offense not looking good because of the abilities of the defense or are they just not gelling yet…or visa versa. Or is it a little of both. Guess we’ll really find out when the lights go on.
GO WARRIORS
OMG…I just did a “Garret”
BBL
Purely from a marketing standpoint, now is not the time to stop doing the Hana or aka. One thing June Jones did was brand this team on a national scale. ESPN loves showing clips of our Warriors doing their pregame war chant. If we lose this, we will lose market share.
UH vs Central Arkansas
