E-Rob gets tryout with Bills

go E Rob

Good morning everyone!

Good luck to Robinson!

Top 10

Reading Ferd’s column and looking back at some of the bloggers (with reference to the 12-0 season) what it really boils down to on any team is chemistry and character. Oh, I’m sure talent counts, but without those two elements as the foundation, it’s really hard to teach, motivate and find a way to overcome adversity.

I hope we find that again when the season starts. Go Warriors!

Anyone know if blaze soares will play this year?

I thought many of Boise’s key players were underclassmen last season? Not seniors? Which might account a bit for the lack of draftees. I suppose many thought that Ian Johnson would be drafted, though.

Good Morning All! 🙂

Best of luck to E-Rob!

Good Morning Tsaikos!!

Congratulations to ERob!! All anyone needs is a chance.

Speaking of which, what is up with Adam Leonard?? I hope he gets a shot with someone.

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/story/11684120

both these sites look pretty highly upon da leader of our OL and BSU’s pick artist for the 2010 draft

on another note, pretty amazing that texas will have originally had 2 first round draft picks at the qb position (if jevan snead comes out)

Stephen who do you have as #1 runningback going into camp ? Go Warriors

Sorry about #1 = Florida not FSU

Let’s hope all our boys can hang on to their dream, but no matter what, they will be loved.

This Fall Camp should be really interesting, with all that talent around, just to see who will ultimately emerge.

Last year we had the illusion of being two deep, which turned out to be a mirage, but this year we actually seem to have it, with some valuable playing experience to boot. Let’s just hope that last years mirage was only a distance reflexion of this years reality.

If our Coaches can put this Ochestra together in the right way, 2009 might turn out to be a great symphony.

10 + wins should entirely be possible. I hope the Warrior hunger has returned.

Welcome back Florida Ted….. great seeing you back.!

Florida Ted!!!

Good to see your post this morning… afternoon there. Hope you are having a good day, today.

Congratulations to E-Rob! I hope that he does well at the rookie camp and gets a contract.

FloridaTed,

It is great to see you posting again! I was so happy to read your posts on yesterday’s blog and am so happy that you are back even more on today’s blog! I hope that you are feeling better each day.

Those three candidates for UH president are morons. They couldn’t figure out how to pen a jar of pickles, even if the pickle jar was ajar. They make Herman Frazier look like … nah, never mind, Frazier was still a hack arse for the ages.

Who are the candidates anyway. lol

A lot of Boise State success can be attributed to having most of their Classes stay for four years in the system. It becomes a lot easier to maintain success that way, ready players moving up every year.

McMackin is trying to build something similiar at Manoa and, quite soon I think, Hawaii and Boise will slug it out for the WAC Championship year after year, with the occasional Interloper or spoiler, like Fresno, Nevada, LaTech or even San Jose.

Good morning Tsai-ko Ohana!

Howzit, Florida Ted! I haven’t met you personally, but I’ve been following your progress and send prayers and fast healing vibes your way!

So stoked to see you bloggin’!!!

Cheee-hooo!!!! 😉

I haven’t been lurking for quite a while in order to assist my daughter through her college selection and financial aid process, so I’m not sure if the following week old news has already been reported on the WB.

Name the college that sponsored 41 varsity sports this year, tying with Harvard for most in the country.

The answer is about the last school you’d think of: math and science powerhouse MIT, the university with perhaps the brainiest—and nerdiest—reputation in America.

The Engineers—yes, that’s their nickname—shared the honor with their bigger, wealthier neighbor in Cambridge, Mass., and have long competed in everything from football to fencing, softball to squash.

That’s going to change, though.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology announced Thursday it is eliminating eight teams because of the sputtering economy. Gone are men’s and women’s hockey, men’s and women’s gymnastics, skiing, golf, pistol shooting and wrestling.

MIT joins the list of colleges dropping sports to counteract budget deficits. Northern Iowa is nixing baseball. So is Vermont, which is also canceling softball. Women’s volleyball and men’s soccer are done at Maine; men’s track and women’s swimming will be out at Pepperdine. …

MIT students say the same intensity that drives them to embrace the school’s brutal academics makes them want to compete in sports at the highest level they can. …

About 20 percent of MIT’s more than 4,100 undergraduates—or about 800—compete on varsity teams, a fairly high level of participation.

FloridaTed: A Thousand welcomes!!! Glad to have you back and posting.

Hi everyone…Im trying to help out my sister in law. She’s trying to get her photo to be the new header for this website (see link below). If you want to help, please go on the site, and vote for #3 (scroll down a bit to vote) , for her photo of Baker Park. Feel free to look at all the pictures (this is my “original” home town) but vote for #3!

thanks!

Mama C-TA ~ I got a BOLO out on one Mr. ‘C’ Where is he? Don’t tell me he wen lock himself in again!

yep, I got them @ 7-6 again.
Im counting on Tormey to improve our backside-D and Shaw to light-up some butts on OL.

ST’s still looms as a huge difference maker.

We have plenty of assests at-gunner and on return-personnel.
I like Coach Tormey cuz he breaks-down film with a studied approach and looks for tendencies AND will exploit!
This is Hawaii’s first legit-ST coach in the JJ era….could be excitin.

Good luck to E-Rob!

Good luck to Travis LaBoy in finding another team.

Hope Anquan Boldin stays with the Cardinals. Last year, we thought he was only going to be w/ them for a year because of pre-season negotiation problems. Anquan said he was going to approach the year as a professional which he did. Wonder if Matt Lienart will ever get back to the level of play to challenge Kurt Warner? Watching them in practice last August, Kurt was much more business-like throughout practice sessions. You could see that Matt didn’t have as much focus. I’m going to miss being able to go to the Cardinals camp at NAU. I still love the Niners & Oakland!

Oh no! Today’s speshow is Lau lau, Poi, Kalua Pig and Cabbage. Da lomi salmon is for next week at da KK!…along with some lomi O’io, and other delicious seafood parts like Aku Palu, etc. Rob25 is dying to try some, I know.

Doris,

I was glad to help your sister out. It sure looks like a lot of Tsaikos and others got to vote before me, as she is way ahead!

Remember how the Titans’ secondary coach told ST that he expected Mouton to contribute this season and have a shot to start next year? The Titans could lose a lot of starters to free agency after this season, so they might need Mouton and their other draft picks to be ready to start next year.

After next season, the Titans will have as many as twelve players heading into free agency, with at least nine of those current starters. Except for defensive end and center (we won’t count punter), the Titans took guys in this draft that should help alleviate some of those losses if and when they occur.

Garrett regarding post 29: Wasn’t Snead the true freshman and Colt McCoy the Redshirt freshmam………sorry thought i remembered differently

Congrats to E-Rob. I hope Allan Cunanan is not related to Andrew Cunanan. 😉

This is an impressive achievement for Arizona State–7 walk-ons drafted, including two in the first round. The reason I post this article is because I would love if one of the NFL Warriors would something like what Levi Jones did.

Levi Jones has established the Levi Jones Scholarship at ASU, which can go to a deserving walk-on each year.

Eh, Stretch, yeah i completely forgot about that, that was my pops……….

Why do the links for the UH President candidate forum & their tracking site not list the candidates? Normally, the candidates’ names & their vitae are posted & available for review by the University community & the public.

The “Iron Triangle” is alive and well.
Haku recorded a sack and an assist, ‘Meats’ clogged it up in- the-middle and GH did the same.

Mouton, in my simplistic opinion, is a player that requires the least amount of ‘training’ to get him ready for his position. If the Titans are truly looking for an immediate contributor, Mouton definitely fills the bill. With all the contracts coming up, Mouton may help give the Titans some leverage in renegotiating by being pretty much game ready at the git-go for a number of positions .

while the bowboyz have dramatically improved their hitting, their .273 team BA is well below the WAC overall team average of .308.
In fact, only Kolt @ .363 and Vinnie @ .361 have higher averages than than the WAC as a whole!

Good to see MAC swingin–his 50 RBIs and 11 yards are awesome–so are his 44 whiffs!

Keep it kickin–Garcia, Montplaisir, Morford and VanDoornum have coated their bats w Jobu’s brew.

If u r lookin for a respite from hard-hitting WAC opponents–dont hold ur breath–LaT has 78 HRs and is right behind NMS in hitting @ .328….the good news is they are dead-last in pitchin era @ 7.46….yikes….and are alone in the bottom w fielding.

Jobu got da cigar, rum and chekin blud ready…bowz play bigball on THURS….see ya at the LES!

Blaze is in TOP Shape. His upper body is huge. Remember he tore his achilles. But that hasn’t stopped him from lifting.

NFL Mock draft has Blaze in the 6th. A healthy Blaze could go 1st day.. MARK that down…

Oh and for those asking he’s on track to grad in Dec so could get another year, too

Kevin’s BB to KO ratio is 1:3, too high for the biggies, he needs another year in college.

Todd McShay did not sit down with Mouton or evaluate his performance with the Titans’ wants in mind so who cares?

Ha!

Let’s not forget to bid “aloha” to Courtney Baughman, Clare Warwick, Tanisha Milca, Stacy Yamada, Richie-Ann Titcomb, Audrey Andrade, and Julie Franklin this Saturday at 2pm. It is a doubleheader which should be done before the baseball game at 6:35pm.

Damnit, its free and the Wahine are going into the WAC tournament with some momentum.

So buy your Saturday baseball tickets early or online!

Its hard to believe that someone with born football instincts wouldn’t have the body to handle the rigors of Div 1 ball.

You mean like chawan and Jason?

They do have great Chess playing instincts

What is the story on Libre?

Sup Tsaiko world.

Kekoa
Didn’t mean to leave u hangin.
Been busy at work.
Appreciate the invite but would like to take a rain check on the grinds and fellowship.
Had to work real job today (daddy duties).
Check you guys later.
Peace out.

MAC recruits a lot of tweeners for D—it will be interestin to see how they all pan-out after they fill-out.

MAC’s current Spring game format has its merits, still I would like to see our #1 O go up against our #1 D….maybe in the future?

100 whoosh

Homey
Speaking from my mouth through the blog, no comment.
But speaking from my mind, who knows.

Let’s take a poll.
If we had a Tsaiko softball and basketball team, who would join and which league would we compete in.

Garret posted a cruise and UH-WA State game package the other day. Another package was in the Sunday ‘Tiser Travel section by Non-Stop Travel (my favorite face-to-face agents, only because another two MHS ’67 classmates hang out there)…

September 11 – 21. Escorted, 3 nights in Seattle, sideline game ticket. Attend the game on the 12th and depart for a 7 day Alaska cruise aboard the Norwegian Pearl the next day. Inside @ $1,769; Oceanview @ $1,999…

However, one cannot attend the UNLV game on this itinerary. 😐

agree w/ your sentiments G, but i’m thinking 2009 has to be our year, not 2010, that brutal schedule is daunting to say the least, opening up w/ PC’s Trojans, and then jaunts to Boise, FSU, and Colorado as well as breaking in a new QB. not saying 2009’s gonna be easy having to go cross country to Ruston, against Tomey as well as against Kaepernick in REno, and playing BSU anywhere is tough, but 2010 is way worse imho.

Just woke up from my nap, real cranky for some reason, then I realized I was alive and I wasn’t cranky any longer, lol.

Haiku.

To recognize our blessings,
we must first of all
accept the hardships in life.

Am I mistaken ? or was spring training fairly injury free? That would be a nice departure, hope we can keep this up.

Hooray for Florida Ted!

You are plugging in the hole that was there when you took your little ‘break.’ Good on ya!

Patti must be happy to see you actively engaged in what you enjoy most. We certainly do. Welcome home!

Homey,

Makule League Softball? Doesn’t Bob Coolen play in that league? I don’t think that’s fair. 😆

FloridaTed:

Nice to see you back…injuries seemed very minimal..Chris Black tweaked an ankle pretty bad and cost him most of the spring..overall I would say we came out pretty good…keep up the good work on your end..

FloridaTed,

Aloha braddah. Welcome back and I hope all is well and yes, aside from Chris Black and a little issue with Laupepa Letuli all looks to be well in Warrior land as far as injuries go. However, I’m not sure how Rocky Savaiigaea is doing as far as being 100% is as it seemed like he had limited action this spring.

Does anyone know how Tormey and Miano are splitting coaching duties, if at all?

I don’t know if this helps.

Does anyone know how Tormey and Miano are splitting coaching duties, if at all?

What I personally noticed is that Tormey is “more” in the face of players. During the practices I’ve seen, they are both doing their drills, Miano with corners and Tormey with the safeties.

During 7-7’s Coach Tormey is right there in the defensive backfield while Miano is on the sidelines with the players not involved with the play.

Both have stressed to the sideline players to always be watching what coverage the defense will be using.

kazz, keep diggin ur gettin warm….

Homey..

Rolling doesn’t count as a sprint, does it?

Here’s an important PSA announcement from my District Senator, Mike Gabbard that I’m running a 2nd time because it is so critical to everyones’s health.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SEN. GABBARD CALLS ON GOVERNOR TO DO MORE TO PREVENT SWINE FLU FROM REACHING HAWAI’I

HONOLULU (April 28, 2009) Senator Mike Gabbard (District 19, Makakilo, Kapolei, Waipahu) called a press conference today to express concerns about the Governor’s handling of the swine flu virus entering Hawai’i.

Gabbard said, “I’m calling on the people of Hawai’i to join me in demanding that the Governor and her Administration do everything that they can and should be doing to protect the people of Hawai’i from the swine flu virus. Based on what I’ve seen, they’ve handed over that responsibility to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), which has not even seen fit to formulate and institute a policy for Hawaii that is different from the mainland.”

Gabbard commented that at a press conference yesterday, the state administration admitted they were only taking passive action at the state’s airports and that the swine flu virus will inevitably enter Hawai’i. “I was surprised to hear the Governor parroting words from the CDC and telling people to be concerned but not alarmed. What’s her point, that we care but we’re not going to do anything about it?”

“It’s outrageous that the state administration is basically sitting on its hands until after it’s too late,” Gabbard said. “Hawai’i is extremely fortunate that we’re isolated from the rest of the country and the world. The only way this virus can come to Hawai’i is by air and water. So we should be having a full court press to prevent that from happening. A few measures that the administration could be implementing immediately are:

1. Taking the temperature of incoming passengers.

2. Passengers coming from Mexico need to be more carefully screened.

3. Right now, passengers fill out agricultural/customs forms when they arrive. Why not make an announcement on each flight, and have them fill out an additional questionnaire detailing whether they have any symptoms and where they have travelled in the last week.

4. Distribute an info sheet to airline passengers and hotel guests with a hotline number to call if they develop symptoms in the next 10 days.

Gabbard said: “Hawai’i is in a unique situation. We’re not in the same position as other states. It’s a sign of laziness and irresponsibility not to have our own policies based on our unique situation. We’re a group of isolated islands and we can prevent it from coming here if our state leaders simply have the commitment and determination to do so.”

Gabbard concluded, “An ounce of prevention is going to be worth many, many tons of the cure. We can and must do more.”

Miano stated that he will have the cb and Tormey the safeties, and there are two nickel packages, one involving the safety the other the cb and each coach will handle the nickel that involves his position players.

Ah I see.

I’m assuming the two nickel packages are the 4-2-5 and the 3-3-5. As ST, previously mentioned Richard Torres has the nickel position down and just by guessing, in zone blitz formations he’d be the blitzing nickelback out of the 4-2-5. Out of the 3-3-5 I can easily see a safety blitzing as you can have a nice confusing look out of the 3-3-5 for opposing offenses to worry about.

I mention blitzing ONLY in reference to you saying “involving” each coaches’ respective position players.

Hmmm… Let’s see Nevada and NMSU attempt homers on our field!

The air ain’t thin, and we don’t play in some jacked-up high school field! 😈

kazz that’s about it, win and play exciting ball and the fans will come…Nash please take note, win and play exciting bb and people will come to the SSC. e bolla’s replacement, ditto to you….same with Wilton’s replacement, double ditto….

bowzbaseball program is runnin around $1.2 m in costs and last year was $660,000 in the red.
In 20 appearances at the LES in 2009, our gate has been 58,444 or 2,922 per game. Keep in mind that includes double-headers.
We have 8 home games remaining, not including the WAC tournament….give it up n support the bowz….bandwagoneers are welcomed.

We have 8 home games remaining, not including the WAC tournament….give it up n support the bowz….bandwagoneers are welcomed

normally I do not disagree 🙁 with Kazz but got to give it up and support in these time of finance problems. UH needs all the monies it can get to balance budget this year

RE: Bandwagoners.

Notice my “LOL” smiley icon next to my “freakin’ bandwagoners” statement.

I didn’t mean it to sound like they should leave and all. I understand, no wait, I MORE than understand the POSITIVE impact the increase in attendance will have on the baseball team’s financial figures and the overall fiscal health of the department as a whole.

I was just venting some “selfish” frustration as they took away the simplicity of attending a Rainbow baseball game away from me. 😆 <<<< (again, notice the “LOL” icon included in jest)

Jason,

Should have clarified that Thursday & Sunday refer to the LA Tech series starting tomorrow.

FREE ticket is for tomorrow’s LA Tech game at 6:35 pm. Email me, please.

Mei Ling,

I checked etickethawaii.com and it looks like it is for all four days of the tournament.

F-Ted . . .

Welcome back!!! Good to see you blogging again.

chawan_cut,

See you at the Les on Friday!

MeiLing,

Maybe Sec. A, Row 13 can be Tsaiko Tcentral for the WAC tourney; got our tics in the same place!

Kazz,

Yes, the package is for all four days of the WAC tournament.

Bess had hoped to run the Wildcat for Miami, but his hopes for that are pretty much over with Miami drafting Pat White.

Wide receiver Davone Bess was a high school quarterback in Oakland and was itching to be used in the Wildcat last season, but he understands his chances got a lot worse when the Dolphins drafted West Virginia quarterback Pat White in the second round.

“I was always ready,” said Bess while fishing for bass in the Dolphins junior angler fishing clinic in a lake behind Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World. “But we’re lucky to get a great athlete who plays like that and could take our game to another level.”

FloridaTed,

No prob…keep working on it.
Looking forward to seeing you in Vegas!

#155 should read “Bess can relate to the undrafted rookie free agents that are attending Miami’s rookie minicamp this weekend.

FloridaTed,

You are doing a great job writing your posts! I’m so glad that you were told to do some writing as part of your rehab, as we missed you on the blog!

Jason,

Do it!

….don’t you still get student rates?

wafan,

I keep wishing that but the schedule always fills up when we travel.

Kazz,
Sec. A, Row 13 is $25.00 for all four days…bettah yet!

Jason,

I think you just did! 😆
Make sure you stand by the “T” sign….for Tsaikos!

I went to the St. Martin’s celebration for student teachers who were graduating later this month. Out of 58 future teachers only 2 have received calls for their primary interview. The rest are going to hard pressed to find positions in education.

One of the school districts up here just RIF’d 220 teachers. This is going to get really bad for teachers with fewer than three years of experience.

Those of us who are old have positions but we will not get our COLA and our pay raises are history for the next two to four years.

So much for retiring in the near future.

Time to checks for cracks!

Ok nevermind… I called the Rainbowtique at Ward and they have no pink ribbons.

Ahem …

Curveball — when did your daughter graduate? What was her course? I was ’92, course 4.

My dad is all up in arms about MIT dropping wrestling. He was a four-year wrestler there and refereed HS wrestling for many years on Oahu. Sports are a major part of campus life at MIT — which surprises many people.

DPK — last year’s flu vaccination is not likely to provide much, if any, protection against this new strain. Since it is a completely new influenza virus it has a better chance of spreading fast and far. Look at what the Spanish flu did in 1918– between 1/2 and 2/3 of the entire world’s population were infected. The mortality rate was high for influenza — though not high compared to many other diseases. However, the vast numbers affected meant that 50 million or so died during a two year period. That was essentially before commercial aviation too. Scary.

The “red mercury” hoax (which said that it could be used to make nuclear bombs or find treasure) said to be contained in old Singer sewing machines resulted in wave of people in Saudi Arabia trying to buy them…they were paying $50,000 for old sewing machines!

The browser wars continue: Firefox 3.5 vs. IE 8.

Free play links pau.

Flying car…

Hate to run out of gas in one of those. You’d be stuck in the air. You think AAA will offer free towing?

Geez, what’s with the brainiacs who went to MIT. Yikes.

I wonder if I could’ve gotten in. Eh, even if I did, I’d probably go crazy studying math there. 😀

Koakane,

You got my free ticket for tomorrow night.

DPK: Is something up with your e-mail? When I sent out my grad announcement (see posts 165 and 178), it wouldn’t let me send an e-mail to you.

Hmm, that went through.

Actually, I’m not sure if my e-mail even went out; I forgot to CC myself, so IDK.

Ah, yeah, I don’t think it got sent out. I really should read what the error messages say. Too many recipients! Previously, it just so happened to pick DPK’s e-mail address. 😛

Jason,

Congratulations! You have enriched the blog…we expect you to continue communicating with us wherever you are. I’ll be at graduation as long as nothing comes up. Good luck in finals!

Ssshhhh…I’ll be at the NAU table at the college fair tomorrow in the Blaisdell. Not working at UH, so no pilikia. It’s fun talking to the students & sharing what we’ve done in the HAPA Hawaiian Club at NAU.

congratulations Jason……I know you’ll succeed as a teacher and mentor…you need to grow a beard and mustache to look a little older than the high school kids….another way to look older is to keep watching the 49’ers play football, you’ll look older a lot sooner from grief and disbelief….

planning a cattle call in the near future for our first tsaiko graduate.
stay tuned……….

.

st,

i have been waiting for some news on this…..junior day.

so, were any scholies offered?
any names?
did any juniors accept an offer?

how many mainland juniors attended?

i have been curious since there has been very little or no fanfare regarding our future warriors.

i wonder why no one else asked?

oops…..

….to see “jersey boys”, the broadway musical featured at the Palazzo.
it will be worth every penny (there will quite a few pennies).

especially if you are around stevem’s age.

A happy last day of April to everyone!!!

That is a lot of money to spend on blimps outfitted with radar. When will they start to use the old weather balloons or kites? HA!

UA cups recalled.

Seriously.

Nevada sure does a great job with their scheduling! Both Arizona and UCLA will play at Nevada in the future.

Nevada will play Arizona and UCLA at Mackay Stadium as part of multi-game deals with each school, athletics director Cary Groth announced today.

The Wolf Pack will start a three-game series with UCLA in 2013 and a “home-and-home” series with Arizona beginning in 2014.

“We are absolutely committed to bringing national-caliber competition to Mackay Stadium and these games once again reflect that commitment,” Groth said. “Our fans deserve the opportunity to watch our program match up with top-notch, non-conference opponents and that is exactly what our scheduling philosophy is delivering.”

LSU’s coach will twitter all game day.

LSU football coach Les Miles is, in his words, “a twittering kind of guy.” Though he also contends he’s “old school,” Miles wants to stay ahead of the competition in this age of 3G recruiting. This fall, Miles will twitter before games, at halftime and after games. He will dictate his observations to a staff assistant who will then type in Miles’ “tweets” or microblogs of 140 characters or less on the social networking site, Twitter.com.

“Absolutely, it’s for recruiting purposes,” Miles says. “It allows us to communicate, to those people that subscribe, blasts of information. … It’s also an opportunity for those prospects that subscribe to communicate to us.”

took da bossa to see dueling piano’s at L-4 after grinds at Pearl–that means im good to go for the weekend w jobu n da bowboyz plus Tiger.

Tiger last won in 2007 @ Quail Hollow beating Steve Stricker in a classic, today he is off to a positive start at -3 (T/1)after 12. more importantly, 3 birdies, no bogeys or scrambles, 100% sand saves–he is under 1.7 putting on the green and hitting the fairways and averaging 316 on his drives.

get to the Les tonite and stomp da yard!
Coach Mike is doin a great job and shame on linsky n meyers. not the time to be individuals–we are in the thick of a conference race that will go-down-to-the-wire and we need everyone on board pullin their load. nuff said…jobu got da cigar, rum and chekin blud ready….go bowboyz!

Powder Puff looks so cute & innocent in the photo. In reality, she is! Great sense of humor, coupled with a daring Tsaiko attitude. Thanks for putting up with us.

…And a good, early bird morning to you all!

Aloha Kakahiaka!

Congrats to our grad JASON!!!
How many seats available for his “family”????

Looking forward to news about the “G-Kall”.

Hi Bulla:

Nice to hear Ryan coming back for a break.

With your #252 “crime up, swine flu, economy down…”, I guess I had better forget about going to iHop!

Boy this swine flu has me teed. I bought slabs of pork tenderloin and butt a week ago, sliced em, ground, and froze em … now, with all the misunderstanding, I bet the price will drop through the floor. But no more room in my freezer.

UH! Listen up.. when the prices drop stock up on pork! Build that imu… and cut that dang deficit. 😉

sorry ladies…..but cc is all MINE!!! u hea dat BabyPowder?!?!?!

ofr = for

Kazz:

Point well taken!

Re: UH Junior Day

I second roysan16’s notion of keeping “Junior Day” somewhat “under wraps”.

Coach Miano was on L&L last night and he did say, “junior day was well-attended”.

Trap scheduled a tough baseball schedule this season and his team played inspiring ball while hitting only about .245 They battled each and every inning and won a lot of games, and the fans finally came out to watch in large numbers….good luck this weekend.

if Nash schedules games with winning programs and his team wins while playing good basketball the fans will come out to the Stanley…there should be optimism of putting at least 8500 to 9000 in the SSC at every game but the bows got to win and show their mettle that they are able to play with the best…otherwise find a coach who can do it…

Ralph…

We have seen that winning is a big part of drawing the crowds. BUT, we have also seen that even during mediocre seasons, name brand competition also draws the crowds. For the most part, however, the WAC teams do not have that drawing power. So the various programs have to look outside the WAC and try to make the $$$ there. Not easy when you have to pay $$$$ to get $$$, eh?

TC is busy managing his subway franchise.

if we gotta take CUSA, might be a trip to see SMU football and basketball here during Christmas 2009…

does the guard still play for the St. Mary’s basketball team or is he done already.

Ralph,

I do *not* think JJ recruited early like he’s doing now–he has so many offers out and has had 2 Junior Days already for 2010 recruits. I think that this is a reflection on the changing times in recruiting–there are a lot of schools that have made 30+ early offers now that never made offers at this stage in the recruiting process not too many years ago.

Article about how the Browns might need to have David Veikune ready to play soon. The starting OLB left via free agency and the backup (Bowens) is 32 and recently had knee surgery. Veikune will be Bowens’ backup and will need to adjust to OLB quickly if Bowens has problems with his recovery.

David Bowens is expected to take the Browns’ old outside linebacker role vacated by free agent Willie McGinest.

Bowens turns 32 before the season and is coming off knee surgery, so the Browns had better hope second-round pick David Veikune comes along fast. Bowens won’t alleviate any double teams from OLB Kamerion Wimbley.

A-House – Yeah, like the list of those invited to fall camp.

Kazz – 5…..$5 footloooooooooong. bwhahahahahaha.

ESPN says that the Pac-10 should eliminate their round-robin scheduling, which would give them 1 more nonconference game each season and would help them get more teams bowl eligible. I like this idea because it would give the Pac-10 more schedule slots to play UH and it would increase the chances that the Pac-10 would have a bowl eligible team for the Hawaii Bowl.

So the Pac-10 should end round-robin scheduling, a practice that only insures the conference suffers five additional losses a season, which hurts national rankings and strength of schedule ratings, which then combines to hurt the conference in the BCS standings.

If the Pac-10 tossed away a ninth conference game, then it could add another nonconference game, like other BCS conferences do.

Kentucky, which lost six of its final eight regular-season games, was a bowl team last year. The Wildcats didn’t beat a BCS team with a winning record. They did beat Norfolk State, Middle Tennessee and Western Kentucky.

Kazz,

Timmy Chang is said to own one of the Mililani Subway franchises. I doubt that he spends much time there, though.

baseball media hype, saturday bb game has 700 tickets left, but why aren’t they promoting the thursday, friday and sunday game…are they sold out, if not, why not hype the fans to come out all four days and let the public know how many tickets remain for each day….duh…please multitask or lets find a new SID. How about promoting pink day, this saturday, honoring cancer patients at the wahine softball game. the seniors are mentioned but not much about the pink uniforms…K-State did a pink wahine basketball game and later auctioned off their uniforms and raised 12K dollars with the additional sale of pink shirts with the power cat logo.

Garret:

I agree that SMU has a lot more $$$ and staff to assist the HC in recruiting and UH was definetely behind the 8 ball.

However, do a Jr day and going on home visits on Oahu and neighbor islands or visiting high school coaches/schools would not put a big dent in his budget? I will agree that a $50,000 recruiting budget is very small and reason that the Maloof brothers donated $25,000 to UH for recruiting 2 years ago after they met June Jones in UNLV.

I can not help but think that some of the significant “donations” during Coach Mack’s tenure came because UH has a new Athletics Director. One person who was instrumental in securing a huge donation told me that as long as Fumbler was AD he would never ask the donor to consider UH.

Hawaiian Airlines has always been a major corporate sponsor for UH, but only last year they donated XXX air fares for Coach Mack/staff to take trips at no charge. Why? Coincidence or not?

It has been written that HF did not secure any $$$ for UH.

Even in this terrible economy, there are many ways for the “business” sector to make contributions to UH sports. All they need is for someone to call and pay them a visit with a plan. Or, someone, in position of power at UH, can make a public plea for donations. Is it beneath their feet to do so? That would be a shame if true.

Thanks Doris for posting the link – http://frederickmarylandonline.com/2009/04/27/vote-for-the-new-fmo-header/ – so that friends can vote for my photo! And special thanks to those that did! I’m a blooming photographer and any chance to spread my name and photos out there is appreciated!
