DJ gets the call
The past two months, slotback DJ Armbrust has worked out each weekday on the Manoa campus. Some days, he will pester a quarterback to throw passes. Some days, another receiver or DB will serve as quarterback.
Word of Armbrust’s dedication spread. Yesterday, Armbrust said he was invited to participate in training camp, which begins Aug. 4. “I’m really happy,” said Armbrust, who had been scheduled to join the team Aug. 23, the first day of UH’s fall semester when rosters are allowed to expand.

From yesterday’s workout, here’s freshman quarterback Kevin Spain:

Here’s Bubba Poueu-Luna (left):

Here’s the highlight video of running back Iosefa Tuitele, who was known as Lancer Tuitele at Mount San Antonio College last season: Tuitele video.

What do you think of the announcement that USC will return Reggie Bush’s Heisman Trophy, and Pat Haden will replace Mike Garrett as athletic director?
* * * * *
UH outside hitter Joshua Walker is working two volleyball camps this week:

OK, which ESPN sportscaster will be the first to refer to a leaky defense as a BP? Or a defensive stop as a static kill?
First

Good Morning Tsai-kos!
Sorry DPK
Congrats DJ!
No worries csb! 😉 How you?
Good for DJ!
Top 10
DPK
doing good. We’ve been eating out a lot with Nicholas choosing his favorite restaurants and staying up late watching a lot of old tv shows and movies. He goes back to Seattle tonight.
congrats to slotback DJ Armbrust
Sorry Kazz. Tried to win the poster for you.
808ike,
Hey no worries!
CONGRATS TO HOMEY.
It was a long night last night, but “Inception” is a MUST SEE. Well in my opinion. I can see how some or most might not like it and in the first 20 minutes you are already thrown in a loop as to what is happening, but it slows down enough for you to get the concept.
Bottom line is Christopher Nolan just directed another masterpiece.
Iosefa Tuitele… is he a new recruit? I know we have a Joey Iosefa (RB)
Morning Everyome
Welcome to the Warriors, Lancer!
Stuart Scott.
Aloha Kakahiaka!!!
Pic-chahs, ST?
Good morning Tsaikos…hope all is well.
Now that you’ve mentioned it ST…Neil Everett..
Good job DJ….let that be an example to your team that hard work and perserverance pays off….
So, all of these “additional” guys are projected to be walk-ons???
To DJ Armbrust: Good job!! Lead by example… dispel doubt by deed… and succeed by your own tenacity… IMUA!
6’2″? That’s a nice tall slot back!
Aloha Kakahiaka!
Footsball on my mind now!
hiho!
Kazz- I tried to win you da poster too… oh well.
The making of Inception short on HBO was interesting… live action and not all CGI!
WOO HOO! WOOT WOOT!
I won! Thanks all for the congrats…Thanks ST for the poster, it’s a keeper!
Hope roysan16 is happy because I am a cereal killer!!!!
Good to see we are picking up more offensive weapons but I’d like to see some beef packed with muscles, speed, strength, weight, height, agility, quickness, athleticism…is that too much to ask for?
There will be pictures, Slugger. But I have to do it when I get to work.
I won’t be in until later this morning. I’m working on a project.
Homey wants UH to recruit Homey?
Ummm, ST, I did write “height”. :LOL:
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE
First impression while watching Tuitele’s (and his bro, thanks ST!) video…knowing we have some solid rb’s with experience…they are coming from JC with only two years to play (I assume)…I thought that both brothers have the size, speed and toughness to play cb/safety.
oops, no caps… 😆
morning to tsaiko country have a good one
congrats to ╦╤─ for winning poster
first day for fall ball is just weeks away …….are you ready, cc peeps
au’we can’t make the cc for wafan today but after he returns from vegas maybe get another one going? also welcome home to djmicho who is having a good time on the friendly and garden isles.
hiho off to kope run esssmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Remember-
FRIDAY 6:30 AM
TIP TOP
KAUAI BREAKFAST KALL with djmitcho
B THERE!
Congratulations homey! Looking forward to seeing you and the other T-gaters real soon!
bbl…gonna catch up on yesterday’s blog.
Oh, btw, really disappointed that I can’t make it for meeting with Wafan. Leaving in a little while and will be gone all day. Shucks!
Just by looking at his highlight film, this kid Lancer Tuitele looks pretty darn good to me.
We should redshirt him along with that other jc rb for next year. Good pick up coaches.
GO WARRIORS!! BEAT trojans!!
run, run, run the ball! I am liking that we are becoming more of a defensive team with a running game.
J-FORCE – I think Tuitele has 2 to play 2.
good one homey. i’m happy you won. at least i know you’re a family man and the poster wont be wrapped around your belt.
Good morning Hawaii!
Homey: congrats!
The thinking is to fill the gaps.
Freshmen John Lister, Joey Iosefa and Hogan Rosehill are the future. But after Alex Green and Chizzy Dimude graduate, it’s nice to have some upper classmen to compete.
congrats, homey. Where will your wife permit you to post your poster?
ST, you astound me with your memory for names! Those are not easy names to remember or spell. And every year, you’ve got new names to master. Incredible!
In the same vein, I admire Jim Leahey for his memory for names, also.
gigi…homey is the master of his domain…he will post it wherever he wants to….so of course he will put it up in his office….
That’s what dedication and determination are all about. Should inspire us, and the whole State… that we too can overcome obstacles to achieve positive results!
Go, Warriors!
James,
Homey sleeps in his office? I thought he slept in a bedroom.
st…also posted this last night (or was it this morning?)
new rb….http://jameschoynews.wordpress.com/category/utah-football/
and this…the brothers iosefa(tuitele) combined for nearly 1300 yds and 19 tds last year.

James,
Of course, he could post it in his bathroom. That’s an option, right? LOL.
Al,
I thought you were on a tour of the neighbor islands this week.
ST:
Lancer’s bro will be a 2011 commit since he will arrive in Jan 2011?
I like Isofea’s quickness, speed, power, hands, blocking skills, speed through the line, and running over DBs. Add 60 lbs and we see another Nasty nate!!!
A-House,
I might attend wafan’s luncheon at Royal Palace if my stomach cramps dissipate. Not well for the past 2 days.
You do know that there are 2 malls? One is Stadium Mall and the other is Stadium Marketplace.
Stadium Mall is where Ice Palace and Royal Palace are located.
Congratulatons to DJ for being invited to fall camp – must like his “heart” and commitment as a Warrior!!!!!!!
Great video of Lancer… good hands, breaks tackles, makes people miss, and fights hard for that extra yardage no matter where he is on the field. It’s like he has this mentality that he WILL get that yard, and no one will stop him. I love that fight in him! True Warrior! Should be a good, fun one to watch.
Check out the sportshawaii.com Online Media Guide (in the football forum) for more pictures & fun facts of DJ…
Included are pictures of his dad (Dwight Armbrust SR), brother (Westley who is an up & coming bballer at Moanalua HS) and his HS pictures… Btw he attended Onate HS for a short time.. SAme HS that David Veikune went to..
CONGRATS TO MY MAN DJ!!!
Wow! Burton’s video looks exactly like Lancer’s video! This is gonna be crazy having both on the field at the same time! They both take hits and keep going too! Love it! Coaches will have to devise some plays while both of them are in.
Burton is shifty and has good vision, making cutbacks frequently on the video. Thing that is surprising is that he loves delivering the hits too! Man, some exciting times upcoming for Warrior football!
gigi – I’ll put the poster next to my old poster of Kobe Tai.
homey, oh, you are so lucky. LOL.
but you didn’t say where the Kobe poster is located.
Tuitele gives us another solid blocker in the back when necessary. That’ll help reinforce the Oline. He also looks like a back that can punch it in when called. I like it!
Who is Kobe Tai??
“If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen (1 John 4:20).”
Luke 6:35-38;42
But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” … How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
i was wondering if kobe tai was related to koakane?
Stretch,
I’m pretty sure Nautica Thorn went to my high school. I think she was a sophomore when I was a junior.
About now gigi is googling Kobe and Nautica.
In a moment she will be screaming.
hahahaha.
huh?
hahaha. too funny and kk is looking up his family tree.

somebody get gigi off the search.
and why would i be going on a neighbor island tour?
#67 — hey, that was a great video! I laughed.
Ummm.. UH Men’s basketball season ticket renewal deadline was yesterday and nada? Any news? Anyone heard anything on how they are doing?
Stretch…Kobe Tai is the sister of Kobe Stake…and Kobe Bryant
Thanks JJ – I thought it was a Japanese type of fish, similar to Kobe Steak.
James can’t even spell steak, and den.
Stretch/Homey…Yeah…I think I actually ran into Kobe Tai at that Ramen place by Wal Mart…on Keeaumoku…u know Bo Toe Ichi
James,
sowwy but Bo Toe Ichi is un-google-able.
Time to change the subject. I don’t think Gigi needs to be visiting adult sites.
ST,
yeth thir!
The things you guys talk about. Oh my 😳 …speaking of oh my, another blast from the past…Jessica Steinhauser.
(J)J,
Whoa… didn’t know you were such an exhibitionist… You and Kobe right there in front of all that Walmart crowd eh? And you had to take a running start?
Even though she named herself after Grammy Award-winning Tia Carrera, uh, still must change the subject.
okay…so, what time is practice tomorrow??? I may be able to attend…
Tia Carrera won a grammy??? What song???

Mt Sac’s Coach Bob Jastrub has a pretty impressive record in the 5 seasons that he’s coached there. They run a 4-wide offense similar to the R-n-S. I’m surprised he hasn’t been enticed by some D-1 school.
I’m going to have a batch of posts now to try to catch up with the blog…my younger daughter, wife, and I were all sick since Sunday but we are mostly okay now. First issue:
ST,
Short-term CD for the student fee revenue is a good point that I hadn’t considered. If Upper Campus can charge UHAD interest on the deficit, then UHAD should be able interest on its money. However, won’t there be a deficit each semester even with the student fee because half of the fee goes to the accumulated debt?
If UHAD is spending more than it takes in, the student fees go to expenses. Since the tuition for the scholarships comes at the start of each semester, before the revenues come in, UHAD is actually borrowing money to start each semester so it will be hard to justify trying to earn interest on the money from the fee while borrowing money to pay for tuition (and the fee).
Kazz – #14, i agree
I do not think that the swap meet and state fair generate enough revenue to pay for all of the maintenance at the stadium–if so, why does the state have to come up with $110 million for things like safety improvements and fixes to the roof? UH is the one benefiting from those changes and the stadium revenues don’t cover those maintenance items.
HI LOA!
good thing get google 😆
I agree that what ST wrote was not intentionally misleading on the stadium ad issue, but there were people who read the statement and posted about how UH should be getting a cut of the advertising revenue during UH games…UH already does get advertising revenue during UH games, but it seemed like some people thought they weren’t getting any after reading the blog.
Al is correct, I meant to say that In-n-Out doesn’t have freezers.
BG, current iPhones wouldn’t work on Verizon because they use different communication technologies (CDMA vs. GSM). Apple reportedly *has* made an iPhone that would work on Verizon, but it hasn’t hit the market yet because Verizon hasn’t agreed to Apple’s monetary terms (AT&T pays Apple $450 per phone, Verizon pays Motorola/HTC/RIM $300 per phone, Verizon splits Android app revenue with Google while AT&T gets no iPhone app revenue from Apple).
the good thing about DJ is he’s a true frosh…
another Slot who made the 105 is RSFrosh Corey Paclebar. Look for those two to push the upper classmen cracking the 3rd team.
DJ was a stand out track guy in HS so the guy has wheels. Corey is tough as nails and would be a great Punt retuner in the future.
Throw in Allen Samson and we are looking good at SB for years to come
hiya jojo!
The relationship between AT&T and Apple is said to be similar to a loveless marriage. AT&T was shocked when Apple refused to reduce iPhone data usage–within a few months after the iPhone came out in 2007 AT&T realized that their network could NOT handle the high iPhone data usage, so they asked Apple to get YouTube to run only over WiFi or cut off YouTube videos after 1 minute…Apple refused. AT&T says (and Apple sources confirm) that Apple’s baseband software is full of bugs and causes dropped calls. Apple’s radio comes comes from Infineon, whose hardware is popular in Europe but it isn’t used much in the US because cell towers are placed farther apart in the US and reception is less forgiving.
Steve Jobs has apparently brought up dumping AT&T at least 6 times, the first time just a few months after the iPhone came out. Unfortunately for Apple, Verizon uses a different transmission technology that would require a new chipset…and when Apple’s group visited Qualcomm to see if they could get an iPhone on Verizon they found that the CDMA chips were a different size and Apple would have to rebuild the iPhone from scratch. A *lot* of fun dirt is discussed in this article, with both AT&T and Apple blaming the other company.
Off topic… for you food experts…
What’s a good price and source for unsalted, mixed nuts without peanuts? (Walgreen has lightly salted, roasted mixed nuts at 2/$7.00 – total 17 oz.) I want unsalted, raw or roasted. Preferably a mix of Cashews, almonds, Brazil nuts, Filberts, and pecans.
It looks like Sol will get another start this week. It is nice that Adam was added to the practice roster so he’s on the same team as Sol again.
Article about Adam being added to the practice roster.
Lots of Hawaii players have gone through those Canadian doors. Good to know that many of our players are getting second/third/fourth looks.
al only steak in my tree
Gigi on it today good mid day to you
Kazz that’s cold
If Anton McKenzie doesn’t get healthy quickly, Sol could end up earning his starting LB spot…Sol already was the #2 tackler for the team in his second start. If Sol can earn the starting spot, that will help Adam stay on the team.
If Anton McKenzie gets healthy quickly and returns to the starting lineup, that could mean that Sol would go to the practice roster. If Sol goes to the practice roster, Adam would get cut–especially since each CFL team can only have a limited number of non-Canadians. So, Sol is playing for both his career and for Adam’s career.
Interesting comments on this site about the mess at SMU right now. In response to SMU rejecting admission to a football player that passed NCAA requirements and was admitted to an Ivy League school:
Another person said:
Kazz,
You can get your new phone and get your new-every-2 credit 20 months after you got your Storm, you don’t have to wait a full 2 years. Verizon is also allowing people to move up their date up to 30 days, which is how I got rid of my Storm a little early and still got the NE2 credit.
Start the controversy now.
We’re almost done with July.
Camp begins in August.
Season starts in September.
With that said.
I’d rather go back to June.
responding to USC … ainokea
go warriors
I don’t know if JD is watching what is going on down there at SMU, but it would be cool if he could pull a rabbit out of his ahhhh hat, an get JJ back in the fold, give him a 5 year contract and at the end of 3 if he has a winning record for those 3 years automatic rollover for 3 years.
Some people would not like it but what the heck do they know. JJ would get us back to where we should be.
but didn’t SMU extend JJ’s contract recently? Wonder why JJ would do that when there are those issues that made him mad.
I thought JJ recently stated that he would sign his contract extension?
I bet season ticket sales would go up if we turned back the clock to June.
gigi and MIH,
SMU announced that JJ had agreed to a contract extension 8 months ago…but he hasn’t signed that contract. There is no incentive for him to not sign the contract unless he really isn’t happy about some things going on.
yup, a lot stirring in nearby dallas.
but, please don’t be stirring the pot of june returning anytime soon. he would never throw his friend mack under the bus.
When JJ was at UH, didn’t he propose having a game in Japan? Whatever happened to that?
http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/colleges/topstories/stories/071610dnsposmushort.143b2bc97.html
Garret, this one was posted July 16. Apparently JJ is going to sign… or so it says.. lol
Jones is an alpha persona. He has the “IT” factor. Appears SMU heiarachy and booster with money have a conflict going while Jones is caught in the middle. Power and money in play. What a country.
I for one believe he will end up back at UH should Mack not get things rolling. Just my take.
I don’t think JJ would come back if he thought he was responsible for getting his friend (Coach Mac) fired prematurely. But Coach Mack is 65… when he completes his contract he will be at an age where he can retire comfortably and come back as the DC.
He’s not bound, I don’t think, by the State mandatory retirement age, is he?
Besides, I’m all for giving Coach Mack this year and the next to show what he can do.
Can you imagine if June were to come back? It would be like a rebirth, a new sense of excitement, and a true rendition of the run and shoot. The scoreboard lights would need constant replacing. Fans will be breaking their necks from looking side to side so quickly as the ball is being moved up and down the field. Games will be an hour longer due to the clocks stopping at the moving of the chains. .500 will not be the record we have but the amount of yards thrown per game.
Coach Jones if you are reading this please don’t sign.
[…] rest is here: DJ gets the call – Hawaii News – Staradvertiser.com By admin | category: KOBE University | tags: am-gigi, am-homey, lol, old-poster, poster, […]
Akamai guy – Dave Reardon reported yesterday that JJ signed his 3 year contract last week putting him at SMU uintil 2014… THANKS DAVE
The State has a mandatory retirement age? Coach Mack is a judge?
Aloha Everyone. Beautiful day on the Big Island today. Even Hilo was really sunny. But that walk to and from Akaka Fall is a killer in the humidity. My shirt was soaking wet by the time I was pau. Hope everyone is having a good one.
bb,
.500 yards a game is horrible. 😎
Pomai,
I hope Jim Donovan ISN’T watching what’s happening at SMU.
Jim Donovan knows his concerns are right here in the 808.
Pomai,
Gotten any umm.. interesting emails lately?
Garret,
Actually I got my Storm in February 2009 and my New Every Two date is Oct 2010 so essentially I cannot push it sooner as Feb 09 and Oct 10 is pretty much about 18 months I believe.
Oh well… On a positive slant, by October whatever “bugs” there are on the Droid X should be worked out be then as with all new phones.
*burp*
😳
Pardon me…
meant to say…
Did he or didn’t he sign it?
Maybe someone should make a phone call….
d1, how was lunch?
Wonder who’s going to be in the running for Mayor?
Didn’t.
mih – I still want to know what the mandatory retirement age is. LOL

Nice pic of DJ Armbrust.

Thanks for the pix, ST! I was wondering why the database error messages were coming up 😆
Good thing I copied and saved my post:
Hiya.

Garret- thanks for the Apple-Att info.
CDMA… pah… LECs… bah…
Need a universal system.
Dang. I lost part of the post anyway… it was something like this:
I hope Colt gets a fair opportunity with the ‘Skins this year. But so far, they have not changed his official NFL picture to reflect his current number and they have not produced CB15 jerseys that fans can buy – for reasonable shipping charges.
So I say- the CFL should offer Colt some obscene money and bring new fans and new thrills and chills for their league!
HiHo!
BigWave96744,
Actually, Dave Reardon said that JJ *agreed* to sign, not that he signed. By the way, SMU announced in December (before the Hawaii Bowl) that JJ *agreed* to sign his contract extension. 7 months later, he still apparently agrees…but hasn’t actually signed. This is from Reardon’s article:
homey…
I think you’re right. There doesn’t seem to be a mandatory age unless mposed by a collective bargaining agreement.

gigi,
Lunch was terrific! 🙂
I wonder if Kim Kardashian gave back any of Reggie’s jewelry?
Two 90-year-old women, Rose and Barb had been friends all of their lives.
When it was clear that Rose was dying, Barb visited her every day.
One day Barb said, ‘Rose, we both loved playing women’s softball all our lives, and we played all through High School. Please do me one favor: when you get to Heaven, somehow you must let me know if there’s women’s softball there.’
Rose looked up at Barb from her deathbed and said, ‘Barb, you’ve been my best friend for many years. If it’s at all possible, I’ll do this favor for you.’
Shortly after that, Rose passed on.
A few nights later, Barb was awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calling out to her, ‘Barb, Barb.’
‘Who is it?’, asked Barb, sitting up suddenly. ‘Who is it?’
‘Barb — it’s me, Rose.’
‘You’re not Rose. Rose just died.’
‘I’m telling you, it’s me, Rose,’ insisted the voice.
‘Rose! Where are you?’
‘In Heaven,’ replied Rose. ‘I have some really good news and a little bad news.’
‘Tell me the good news first,’ said Barb.
‘The good news,’ Rose said, ‘is that there’s softball in Heaven. Better yet all of our old buddies who died before us are here, too. Better than that, we’re all young again. Better still, it’s always springtime, and it never rains or snows. And best of all, we can play softball all we want, and we never get tired.’
‘That’s fantastic,’ said Barb. ‘It’s beyond my wildest dreams! So what’s the bad news?’
‘You’re pitching Tuesday.’
Life is uncertain – eat dessert first. And have a BEER too..!!

Pomai – re:#149
Good one!
Good evening Tsaiko Nation: The word on USC is this Garret is out Pat Haden is in as he will bring in his boy J.K. McKay to become the Associate AD. Garret will retire at 66 with a retirement package from the University as he served AD for the past 17 years. Haden is road scholar and was a tremendous quaterback for the Trojans as his tutleage under John Mckay and political / lawyer background will be a different leadership as he wants athletes to graduate, compete at the highest level and have athletes be more part of general university life.
Reggie Bush and OJ Mayo will have no athletic jersey recognition, murals or plaques displayed at Heritage Hall or LA Coliseum as Bush Heisman will be return to the Heismen Trust by August. Pete Carrol is in town promoting his book as he states publically that he left USC not for the pending sanctions but that Seattle gave him an offer he could not refuse as NO NCAA infractions were label at him.
Freshmen all american offensive linemen Seantrel Henderson will end up at Miami or Ohio State, Junior Defensive end Malik Jackson Tennesse, Junior Linebacker Jordan Cambell Louisville and freshmen redshirt corner back Byron Moore to Harbor JC for one year then entertaining offers. In case point ALL is not lost at USC as they have 11 verbal commitments for 2011 and still have a team of athletes that will be coming September 2nd.
With Pat on board don’t know if I can get in to see a practice as Robert Woods uncle plays tennis with me in Carson and “USC Trojan Land” is becoming “locked down” as oppose to Pete’s celebrities on the sidelines, star athletes in the locker room and vip invites over the years as he WON in what USC wanted as unfortunatly there were no “restraints” with Reggie Bush !
The cubbard is not completely empty as TOP under classmen as well as starting players are still Trojans as I hope the Warriors MUST come to play and don’t read into the demise of USC football probation as they will come still loaded with talented athletes and will definetly RUN up the score just to show the Nation “WE ARE SC” !
Will update further on USC when resources and details come along.
The secret mahi mahi at “WORK” !
Aloha !
😆
What do I think of USC?
My best friend is a grad, so of course I hate ’em. Screw USC. Rich California boys. They cheat. Pat Haden = good. I trust that guy.
Only thing about USC that reverberates here is that you gotta be kidding me if anyone thinks Gibby didn’t know what was going on with OJ Mayo.
I mean, he was the main recruiter for USC. He had to have known.
But I still trust Gib. He’s a Mormon boy.
And it’s better to cheat and win then suck in hoops like we have the last two years. Like Barkley says, “If you ain’t cheatin, you ain’t trying.”
Manoa Mist: FUNNY as your right “University Of Spoil Children” as they really do believe they are privelage as their alumni are HUGE around the country with that attitude !
Gib does know on OJ Mayo as the word here that Tim Floyd paid a large amount to a middlemen for OJ to sign as a Trojan with only one year playing as going pro was a certainty.
Arnold got some NEW recruits that can play as this team will be a LOT better then last athletically BUT the jury is still out IF Coach Gib can X and O while changing strategies during games and developing chemistry among his young players ?
We will see !
Go Warriors!
Mt. SAC had a good OL…
Sc will always be SC. I have relative that graduated after getting a scholarship and making the best of it
Same with UCLA
it is what happens after
Graduation and Football drives the bus, Warriors will show up in the fall
Stay the course,
TO ALL THE GREEN (and other colored) BOTTLE DRINKERS – a WARNING!!!
Beer contains female hormones! Yes, that’s right, FEMALE hormones!
Last month, Montreal University and scientists released the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer. Men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption. The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain Phytoestrogens) and that by drinking enough beer, men turn into women.
To test the theory, 100 men each drank 8 schooners of beer within a one (1) hour period.
It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects, yes, 100% of all these men:-
1) Argued over nothing.
2) Refused to apologize when obviously wrong.
3) Gained weight.
4) Talked excessively without making sense.
5) Became overly emotional
6) Couldn’t drive.
7) Failed to think rationally, and
8) Had to sit down while urinating.
No further testing was considered necessary!

well that explains the evolution of koamahu.

Just got home from Sun Coast Casino with sisters from HNL and SJC along with Mrs…… ran into Coach Mac and his beautiful wife Heather after dinner.
Coach Mac looked very relaxed. Can’t wait for the season to start.
I wouldn’t worry too much about coach Gib. He is pretty structured in his approach, he’ll get there..
RainbowCliff….
BTW Pat Haden was a “Rhodes Scholar” not a “Road Scholar” which most bus drivers and commuters from west/central Oahu are.
hey dj, good luck with your meeting with steve stepter, and be sure to hold onto the ball

Soy is also high in phytoestrogens which in turn increases estrogen in your body. The estrogen hormone is responsible for baldness, cancer, everything you pointed out and according to the study by Doctors at Kuakini Heart disease. You might remember their study which got the tofu makers upset a few years ago.
Here’s a player preview of Colt from the Redskins web site:
http://www.redskins.com/gen/players/Colt_Brennan.jsp
It’s mostly a re-hash of things we know about Colt. But it’s still fun to watch the video of his pre-season pro debut in 2008 when he goes 9 for 10 with 2 TDs and hearing Madden get excited about this guy named Colt.

I hesitate to suggest the following since I may not be able to take part, but if Tsaikos are looking for a way to raise finds for UH Athletics, a good possibility is staffing the election precincts. The State is having a hard time finding enough workers to staff all of the precincts for the Primary and General elections. Pays $85 for a full day’s work. I’ve done it before. It’s not hard, although you work 12+ hours. I believe you can designate a non- profit to receive your pay. Not only would you be able to fund the UHAD, but you would also be taking part in the democratic process. Just a thought. . .
Garret,
Thanks for the info on the smart phones. Very interesting. For me, a plain cell phone works for me.

Are you saying that Gil knew about the Mayo arrangement? If so can we assume he just knew about it but was powerless to say anything? Concerning giving back Bush’s trophy I remember walking on the USC campus after O J Simpson killed his wife only to see OJ’s trophy proudly being displayed.
The newest BlackBerry device may also suffer from the so-called “death grip,” but you won’t be able to see the video of it anymore.
Earlier today, Electonista posted two videos of RIM’s soon to be released BlackBerry 9800 that showed the death grip in action. The funny thing is, the videos weren’t posted to show the death grip phenomena, it just kind of happened during the demo.
Oldie and OldDiver — funny how old people come out and play after dark. Surprised that you are honest enough to admit it.
But what is a senior citizen? Dole Theaters will give you a senior discount when you turn 60.
AARP extends membership benefits to those who turn 50.
Wow, old age is getting younger. What gives?
Gigi
The reason I’m here late at night is because it takes me at least half a day to get out of bed. The other half of the day is spent getting off the toilet.
OldDiver,
That’s more info than I need to know. :p In that case, I’ll refuse to get old. But unfortunately, that’s too late.
Old Diver,
Fortunately, that’s not my problem. I don’t know why, but I get just 5 hrs sleep at night. Now and then, I’ll take a 20 min nap during the day, but usually not. FIVE HOURS!!! I’m not making that up.
I think Jay Leno said he sleeps just 3-4 hrs per night. Is that why his hair is white? LOL.
Curt,
I remember you from the 2008 blog bash at the SSC. You look well preserved in your old age.
How is your wife? She looked well preserved, also.
Nytal!
Off to LAS tomorrow.
good night, wafan. sorry i was unable to lunch with you today.
Night, wafan! Safe travels to LV.
Practice tomorrow at 7 am. I should go to bed early.
gigi,
My wife and I are well preserved? Must be some excellent embalming solution. 😉
Curt,
Happiness is a great preservative!
It’s nice that Mufi announced what was apparent for a long time. But did his supporters have to block the traffic today?
gigi,
You mean I have to be happy? Okay. I’ll give it a shot. If UH can pull off the miracle against the men of Troy, I know I’ll be happy…and well preserved too.
ST, you were at Restaurant Row. Which street was Mufi blocking?
Curt,
a win against USC would make me dizzy with joy.
Stephen,
Been too busy to catch the news. Mufi must’ve officially announced his gubernatorial ambitions.
Yep, Kurt Caldwell is now acting mayor. But, I’ll probably vote for Carlisle.
It’s the bewitching hour! Night, everyone!
I was heading home, in a rush, for my kid’s basketball game.
So I tried to go up Punchbowl to get to the Pali. You have to go on King first, past the Water department and Queen’s Medical Center. They were camped out on the corner of King and Punchbowl, slowing up traffic, and then up Punchbowl.
I don’t mind sign-wavers. I just don’t like the ones who lean into traffic. It’s dangerous.
Same as the people who hold signs for car washes.
OFF-TOPIC:
We need the services of a licensed electrician to install a timer on our hot water heater. Using the Yellow Pages, we’ve called over a dozen electricians starting back in mid-May. We have yet to find someone willing to take the job – either no one returns DrDoc’s initial call or the electrician sets an appointment and then postpones it. The most recent guy has canceled the appointment three times and is unwilling to set another one.
If you know of a competent licensed electrician who would be wiling to come to Kailua to install a timer on our hot water heater, please e-mail me at swood at hoku dot com. Please be sure to include your real name and your daytime phone number so I can get the name & contact information.
Mahalo.
Re sgn-holding – I have the dubious distrinction of being the first sign-holder to be struck by a car. Not fun, not fun at all.
The incident occurred two days before the General Election in 1988 – I was holding one end of a huge banner supporting the Sandy Beach Initiative Coalition when two cars collided. One spun out of control & took me out. It was some 16 months after the accident that I was finally released from medical care. Oh, well, I suppose it could have been worse – like dying.
#171 old diver: I am saying Gib Arnold was head of recruiting as he knew what was going on but maybe had no means of the illegal payments for Mayo services. O’Neil inherited Arnold from Tim Floyd regime but after last season let him go as Arnold had no job until Hawaii open up. Don’t know Mr. Arnold but knew his Father who coached those tough BYU teams of the mid 70’s and early 80’s.
You are right about OJ but he was not found guilty of killing Nicole only guilty in the eyes of the public as his in ability of living his normal life once again has got him incarcerated for quite some time in a Las Vegas prison.
#164 Checkersnpogo: You are right “Rhodes Scholar” as some how I really got my homonyms twisted on that subject. Thank you for the correction as many times I rode the “bus” with your GREAT road scholars getting me to many destinations around Oahu !
Nice workout sked!
Great post! 😀

I know that it’s politically incorrect, and I know why some people don’t think it’s right to make fashion accessories from the skin of an animal, but I seem to have seen a few women wearing it lately.
Thanks

I’d recommend this because it’s actually readable. Unusual — sad but true.
Wahlberg and Ferrel seem like a great team in the film. The crazy guy and the humorless conventional man. Classic comedy formula.
