Colt released
The Washington Redskins today released Colt Brennan, a move that came after they picked up former BYU quarterback John Beck.
Ryan Tollner, one of Brennan’s agents, said if Brennan is not claimed during the 24-hour waiver period, he is free to contact teams. Tollner said all options in the NFL will be explored before looking to other leagues.
Brennan was set to earn a base salary of $475,000, the minimum for a player credited with two years of NFL experience. Because his signing bonus was spread through his original four-year contract, an additional $24,200 will be added to his base salary, making his cap salary $499,200. That, though, will have no bearing since this is an uncapped year.
Terry Brennan said his son is doing OK, but the decision was part of the business of the NFL.
Brennan appeared to be ready for the coming exhibition season. He had said he was fully healed from labrum surgery. He recently spent two weeks training in Arizona with his Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb and the Washington receivers.
* * * * *
Five things I think I think:
• Expect Bryant Moniz to be regarded as the No. 1 quarterback entering training camp, even though the top tier — Moniz, Shane Austin, David Graves and Brent Rausch — were told they would get equal reps the first week. But also expect the equal-time period to extend beyond the first week of two-a-days. The group is too good to start designating mental reps. Plus, with the number of receivers, there needs to be more arms in practices.
• Don’t know why, but for some players, everything clicks for their senior season. Expect right tackle Laupepa Letuli, who has never had a healthy season in his first five years at UH, to do well this season. And when it’s all over, we’ll all be asking: Can he get a seventh year of eligibility?
Letuli
• The kicking battle between senior Scott Enos and freshman Tyler Haddon won’t necessarily be won by the most accurate on field goals, but the one who is the most consistent on kickoffs.
• Defensive end Liko Satele would be an excellent choice as a short-yardage back.
• Free safety Mana Silva, a former quarterback, would be a good wildcat quarterback.

Avis has selected Lux Painter as the winner of something that resembles a UH football media guide.
Lux, and the other winners, may text me at 256-0223 with delivery instructions, such as mailing address or dropoff point. Or you may e-mail me at stsai@staradvertiser.com
Meanwhile, I fond one last sorta-sorta UH football media guide. To enter today’s drawing, please post: I’m ready for training camp.
Avis will pick a winner tonight.

Happy birthday to Rob25.
1st
I’m ready for training camp
i hope our team is ready, too.
i think that moniz will end up no. 1 with austin a close second and rausch/graves in a virtual tie.
pepa will hold off on his music career because he’ll become a 3rd round draft pick.
tyler hadden will wind up as the kicker. he’s got the bigger leg.
alex green will be the short yardage guy unless sterling jackson is not redshirted.
mana would be a great choice but he is too valuable at free safety. can chizzy pass?
on another note congrats lux painter.
have you been to fook yuen lately?
do they still have that lobster special?
maybe david graves will wind up the wildcat. we may as well take advantage of his speed, vision, and toughness.
Somehow Al wins in this, no?
Lux wrote that he is passing the book on to Al.
David Graves is a gifted scrambler — perhaps too much of a scrambler. I think they want him to stay in the pocket longer.
what?
lux, is this a reward for discovering your id?
or an april fool’s day joke?
david katina is in the house.
will he grayshirt or redshirt or be placed on the 105?
has the veni manu situation been clarified?
if not, it sure will put a damper on any non-qualifier going the west oahu route.
what is the problem here???
did compliance guy get rehired?
Not sure if Veni Manu was a West Oahu guy. I do know that he had to take care of some business before becoming eligible. Everybody tells me that he did do that, but I don’t see him on the active roster yet. I guess we’ll find out in a couple of days.
But I expect him to be a Warrior this fall.
I’m ready for training camp.
that’s good news. seems like we have a plethora of young talent just waiting in the wings.
Not sure what plethora means, but I guess that’s good, right?
plethora?

mahalo for the tip about wine spritzers and zinfandel in the previous post, ANNODDAH DAVE.

It will be interesting to see how quickly the coaches have 1 or more of the top 4 QBs designated for just mental reps. It will also be interesting to see how many (if any) reps the other QBs get.
Remember the controversy about UH not having soap in the showers? Texas A&M is in such bad shape that they are not going to provide toilet paper for their dorms.
So, Oceanic has the right to eliminate the free replays of UH games on Sunday…it will be interesting to see if they do that in the future.

Any luck getting to the pc side of the Mac?
Happy Birthday Rob25!

Is PPV actually causing UH to lose fans ?
Many on our neighbor islands tell me that PPV has caused them to walk away from UH football. Many say that they refuse to pay to watch UH sports.So I”m curious about numbers. How many subscribe to UH PPV on the individual islands ,anyone know ?
Great Morning All!
Happy Birthday Rob25!
Congratulations Lux Painter! (and Al!)
Methinks methinks:
1) that maybe some things cannot just go away with, “Sorry brah!”
2) the OL as a whole will be much improved
3) has anyone asked the Aussie to try kick-offs?
4) Rolo’s play calling will make “short yardage” moot
5) see #4
At least the Sunday replays will be around for this season! 🙄
Have a terrific day erryboddy!
Watch for the keiki by the schools!
HiHo…..
Happy Birthday Rob25!
With many NFL teams taking on their own form of the wildcat. ( Just read that the Denver Bronco’s version is the Wild Horses formation) with Tebow in mind getting those reps. This is gonna be a fun pre-season to watch. i.e. Colt, Tebow, Bradford, McCoy…
Will the Warriors incorporate this to their offense this year for at least one game?
Good morning Tsai-kos!
Back home and back to the grind.
Happy Birthday Robyn!!
Your cowgirls are still going down! HTTR!! (Sorry couldn’t resist)
Congrats luxpainter and all da oddah winnahs.

this does not sound to good for Colt………
D1
I concur with your #1.
Many of the UH FB alums as well as local players that went on to other schools have been in touch. In this un-scientific poll all agree the first full scale scrimmage with QB’s under center/in the shotgun with fire breathing D-Line & LB’s will be telling.
Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂
Great tidbits up top, Mr. Tsai.
I’m ready for training camp!
Congrats to luxpainter and al-san.
Interesting to see al and d1’s interpretation of the original post.
Me personally, I just think we have the talent across the board to do very well. My concern about the Oline has been reduced to wondering how strong the center spot is, even there I have faith in who ever backs up Lefiti.
Here’s hoping the Warriors have a great camp!
GO WARRIORS!!!
BEAT USC!!!
Happy Birthday to the lovely and talented Rob25!
I’m ready for training camp!
It sounds even more ominous coming from you, Don Weir!

Rumor !!!
Colt Brennan released.
on Bobby Curran show.

Hey Miami, Give Colt a ring. Wiki Wiki
It’s now confirmed via Redskins sources, Colt is no more
Sad about Colt, if true. What will be his next move? At least, he has his communications degree to fall back on.
We all hope the best for Colt and that he lands on his feet!
Will the mainlanders still be able to get Hawaiian Tel Internet FB games?
Aloha fellow Warriors,
Congrats to Al via Luxpainter. Dang, I never win. Das ok tho. 😉
I’m anxiously awaiting for traning camp.
Sorry to hear about Colt. Fear not tho, Colt will find a team that will give him a chance. If not the NFL, then perhaps the CFL.
roga dat Shoko!!!!
I’m ready for training camp.
Re Colt’s release – I raised this issue several days ago and posted a number of related questions which no one addressed. Let me see if I can find them and see if anyone now has some answers.
I wonder if Colt is second guessing not coming out after his junior year.
I’m ready for training camp.
Colt will be back somewhere.
Too much of a good character and football IQ to not play.
No way.
bb – No rewind buttons in life.
Found my questions – What happens to Colt now? (delete the following part of the sentence) at the end of this season if he winds up sitting on the bench again? Will he ever get to play pro football on a regular basis? Who else would be interested in taking him? Why can’t he get any respect?
Additional questions: Is it too late for him to sign on with another team for the 2010 season? Who is Colt’s agent and where has he been during the past couple of years?
it is actually good that colt was released this early and now has an opportunity to tryout elsewhere.
nothing would be finer than to be a fortyniner.
or he could join the team of haters the one they call the raiders.
making it in the nfl is not only about talent.
it is about being in the right place at the right time with the right team under the right coach.
I’m ready for training camp
I’m ready for training camp.
Happy Birthday Rob25.
Is your name now Rob26???
Good morning Tsaikos….
Best wishes to Colt on his future in the NFL….
Happy Birthday Rob 25
Ummmm….I AM READY FOR TRAINING CAMP…..Bring on the 2-a-days…MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I’d say Raiders, Tampa Bay, Kansas City, 49ers could use someone who could possibly blossom given a shot. It would probably be Colt’s last stop in the NFL if he does not make it.
2nd guessing? maybe, but can’t look back. Life always moves forward.
Spoke with Terry Brennan. He said his son is taking it as well as he can.
Unfortunately, today was the day Colt paid his rent check.
Good luck to Colt in finding another team who’ll give him a chance. Would love to see him with the 49ers.
Esme & laterz….
I’m ready for training camp!
Happy Birthday Rob25!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROB 25!!!
Hauoli Lahanau, Rob25!
GO COLT! One snap and Clear!
See what doors are opening for you!
Great day to give the landlord notice of evacuation with that rent check.
A new open door will emerge for Colt this week. No prob. Cheaper rent in Miami anyways
I’m ready for training camp.
Good Morning Tsaikos!!
Bummed about news on Colt. Like others have said, it’s good he was released now so gives him time to catch on with another team during the preseason. I am sure there are other teams that will give him a look.
Liz – so who’s your new team?? No more “Hail(ing) to the Redskins”
ST~~
Can you shed some light on why Aaron Brown has his right leg in a cast?
Colt at Miami…. hmmmm…
nono, not the Raiders….eeeuuuuwww….
I’m ready for training camp.
Stretch- I’ve made a lot of friends in the Redskins camp. I still have Cooley to cheer for! 😆
Too bad for Colt, hope he catches on with another team.
Cool Ethan, wasn’t Beck a Miami draftee? It would be kinda neat if Colt ended up there.
Al my guess is that Lux Painter is a photographer. A photographer paints with light.
I’m ready for training camp.
Is it Rob’s birthday? Happy 31st Rob 🙂
Good morning everyone!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROB25 !!!
Looking at depth charts around the league, Colt will get a shot somewhere. There are some teams that can use him. Chicago, Philadelphia, Jacksonville, KC, New England, San Diego.
I’m ready for training camp.
Bad news for Colt…but hopefully he can find a team that will give him a real shot to show what he can do in time for the preseason. He needs to learn a new system before preseason games start and that will take reps in camp.
Memphis to the Big East tomorrow?
If Memphis goes to the Big East, La Tech has been lobbying hard to get into C-USA…then the WAC will be forced to add teams quickly.
News of Colt sucks. But there is still time and hopefully, opportunities this month.
Stretch — please check on LizKauai today if you can. She sounds suspiciously too upbeat… 😐
Good news on Colt. Wish he was cut at this time last year.
Colt just needs a legitimate shot somewhere. You don’t become the greatest passer in the history of college ball without having transferrable skills for the NFL.
Maybe JJ will head back to the pros to show the world that Colt is the real deal.
I wish that Colt had been cut a week ago instead after just a few practices. Training camps have started already so Colt will be scrambling to catch up with the new system. However, at least they cut him now instead of right before preseason games started.
WE LOVE YOU AND BELIEVE IN YOU, COLT.
BELIEVE!
BELIEVE!
BELIEVE!
Andrea Adelson is the blogger assigned by ESPN to cover all of the non-AQ conferences (WAC, MWC, C-USA, MAC, Sun Belt). She has the job that Graham Watson had before. I wish that ESPN had more than just 1 reporter covering the 5 conferences…and I wish that they picked someone who was more familiar with the WAC. Adelson has been a reporter for the Orlando Sentinel and the only WAC team she mentions in her article is BSU.
I’m ready for training camp.
Good Luck to Colt. Hope he catches on with another club soon…
….if not, maybe the school in Waialae needs a volunteer QB Coach this season?
Garret,
What happened to Graham?
Happy Birthday, sistah!! Wooo hoooo!!!
Don Weir,
Hmmmm….
given your unscientific “poll”…
I’m ready for training camp.

Cracker’d! 😆
Alualu-vs-Manuwai???
Fans all over the Jacksonville area are making predictions on this Oklahoma drill match-up. Wonder what the Hawaii fans think.
Show of hands…
how many really would need 12 hours to consider $17.5M guaranteed?
Pride.,
I think it would be the most popular U-tube post in Hawaii!
For those who don’t know what the Oklahoma drill is. It is a drill where two football players line facing each other about three feet apart. At the snap of the ball or tweet of a whistle, they will hit each other as hard as they can and try to drive each other backward or down to the ground. Simple enough.
Colt and the Phins…
Colt and the J-E-T-S….
hmmmm…
Hello every body hello, Hallo is the shampoo – non, no. no. dummy – this hallo is for Rob 25 cause it’s her birthday – have a good one and hallo to Frank!
Hope Colt’s agent has been in contact with the 49ers so his moving will be seamless!
Mr. DPK,
Look at all the other great passers in college:
Graham Harrell
Timmy Chang
Ty Detmer
What have they done in the NFL?
For most players, they don’t really care waht team they play for. Whichever one that is willing to give them a paycheck is their favorite team. Usually fans have favorite teams. Players will always favor the team that’s sending them their paychecks.
D1,
Cracker’d? 😉
Anyway, came across a blog where there was a comparison of ticket prices in the WAC. Thought it was interesting so I’ll relay the information here.
Wait, does that mean he’s a millionaire?
Pride.
yup. paychecks are good.
I vote to make Tyson Alualu an honorary alumnus of the University of Hawaii. Can someone please hand him a membership application to Na Koa?
morning tsaiko’s and tsaikette’s
best wishes to colt hope he gets picked up soon.
when and what time will the player start with full gear in two a days?
Pride.,
Geez, you make it sound so….
business-like!
NCAA
Why you keep calling me Mr.?
If you can’t see what Colts got, thats your perogative!
And here Colt was the greatest passer in the history of YOU! Is that what you make of the situation?
I’m guessing that the Cal booster club already beat Na Koa to it!
Ryan Tollner is Colt’s agent, or was last time I checked. He is also the agent who reps Mike Iupati, the Niners first round draft pick. His uncle Ted used to be Niners QB coach. Ryan Tollner also reps Ben Roethlisberger.
Go Colt!
Isn’t Manuwai the so called “King” of the Oklahoma drill in Jacksonville?
Good luck to both. I hope they fight to standstill. 😉
whew forgot to mention Pac5 fundraiser was a blast. meet many old and I mean old players from past years. lots of fun stories and memories shared. good time 😀 .
LK #94 – pretty good except I use a P&S (Canon sx20).
Lost my badge – can I asked for another Tsaiko badge?
Hmm… does this mean that if we raised our seating prices to command the top dollar in the conference, our team would also do better? I mean, Boise is way at the top in pricing.
Morning Tsaikos!
Shocked at Colt’s release. I was so looking forward to seeing him play a couple of pre-season games. Hopefully he’ll get picked up by a team that really needs a QB to throw the ball. Meanwhile…maybe he can find a little distraction by coming to Manoa and throwing balls to our ample corps of receivers?
Oklahoma Drill, One down-two up, and Bull in the Ring
Great memories
DPK,
Standstill=Offense wins.
Don Weir,
After reading Dave Reardon’s article yesterday, I’m glad you still can remember! 😕
dpk standstill=no winna winna chicken dianna. oline had to drive block while the dline had to pass rush. whom ever accomplished their task won.
d1, kk –
If nobody win, then nobody lose right? 😉
D1
His column lacked the other side of the coin (or rest of the body perhaps). I see so many of my teammates and those that followed us and many of them are limping and/or have a hard time with their joints.
Cooke Field Phase One
Very high crown with an asphalt base. No pad. Astro-turf 2nd iteration was really Monsanto outdoor carpet laid over the asphalt. Very fine synthetic fibers. Very high burn the skin component. You get tackled you bounced like a golf ball off a cart path.
Receivers and backs after practice went into the locker room and had hydrogen peroxide sprayed out of ketchup squeezers onto knees and elbows to keep down infections.
Asst. to Dean Smith once grabbed the wrong squeezer and put rubbing alcohol across my skinned knees. I can’t yell like that anymore!
2 seasons later and the stats had gone through the roof for joing problems and dislocations. Turf toe was a constant for many of the receivers and db’s.
Very high speed field.
You didn’t need to see the hits at practice you could hear them anywhere in the quarry.
Concussions? What concussions? What were we talking about?
Lux Painter,
Don’t remember making a tag for that name before. But, can do.
Oh,
I’m ready for training camp.
Keeping fingers crossed, hoping that Laupepa has a full season. Also hoping that he has a good one.
Now if Pepa can only narrow his stance down just a little, that would make me feel a whole lot better.
Don Weir,
Brutal.
I spoke with Colt’s agent. He said there’s a 24-hour waiver period in which Colt could be picked up. After that passes, then he’s free to contact other clubs.
Mr. DPK,
Are you a Mrs. or Ms.? Sorry, I thought you were a male.
Depends on your definition of greatest passer. I’m just writing out names who many consider were the “greatest passer” in NCAA history and their NFL careers. Same can be said about Heisman QB’s and their claim to fame in the NFL.
I’m not hating on Mr. Brennan. He made his mark in Hawaii Football but has yet to make his mark in the NFL. Injuries, coaching changes, and personnel changes, are things that happen in the NFL and it is unfortunate that Mr. Brennan got affected by all three.
hahaha
C’mon Colt pick yourself up and show the Redskins what a big mistake they made. We got your back.
Based on pass efficiency, Brennan had the best statistical season (in 2007) of any quarterback in NCAA history.
That said, was he the greatest college passer? Lot of variables. Lot of rating systems. It could be argued he played in a system that boosted passing numbers. It also could be argued that he played in a system that was difficult for quarterbacks because everyone knew he would pass 75 percent of the time.
I’d probably favor the more diplomatic view: Colt was one of the best college quarterbacks in NCAA history.
Those of you who have won the sorta-sorta UH football media guide, how sorta is it?
Worth playing for? lol
I’m not sure if or what I am these days.
DPK, what is this? a feud?
Pride:
You’re right about stances. Some could be traced to conditioning. The scouts love Letuli, but not necessarily at the weight he was at Pro Day. I don’t know all of the details about his knee injury except that it was very serious — serious enough to contemplate alternate methods of treatment. So, that probably plays into rehabi, which factors into his training.
One other thing: Letuli is a nice guy. He’s vocal, but that doesn’t always make for a vocal leader. But he’s a senior — a sixth-year senior — and it’s time for him to take ownership of the offensive line. Austin Hansen and Matagisila Lefiti could do it, but it’s better coming from a senior.
27 is Colts biggest enemy right now.
I can’t say that Colt was in a good position in the Redskins training camp. It looked precarious to me. He was fourth in the QB rotation and getting less reps this season. His performance on Sunday was the probably the nail in the coffin. Let’s hope this is a blessing in disguise.
ST, can you picture Colt as a QB coach at UH?
Huh? What you talking about Pomai? 27 interception? 27 bungled center QB exchanges? 27 years until he starts having grandchildren? 27 e-mails from Liz Kauai today? 27 other teams interested in him? 27 years old? 27 times I stood in line to get his autograph but the session ended before I got ot the front of the line?
PPV will cost me $420 this season.
auwe!
Redskins coach, “remember guys, when you report back for camp in August you need to all be in shape. We’re giving all of you a conditioning test, and if you don’t pass it, you’re out of here. Except for you Albert, you can take the test as many times as you want until you pass. But the rest of you have no excuses. So make sure you’re in shape”
Don Weir:
An interestng point you make about former “local” player who opted for the mainland, but now contacting you.
Suppose they can be a Na Koa member, but not a letter winner member. That’s all good as we need as many “expats from Hawaii” who can watch our backs from the mainland and support UH academically or via sports.
Still a ways off, but we hope to see you in NY and/or Colorado!
Perhaps the 49ers may take a look at Colt. Or the Dolphins. Now that would be wild.
I always thought the strength of schedule was a factor in Colt’s statistics, but in 2006 he played against some very tough teams, moreso than the 2007 season. Statistically, Colt’s 2006 regular season was the most impressive. And thats the year they played Alabama, Oregon State, and Purdue accruing 5500 yards, 58 TD’s, 12 INT and 185.5 RAT. There are alot of teams that can use a QB like Colt. Question is: where?
CRW:
Are you planning to drive all the way to West Point?
Fater hearing about Colt, I am depressed! I thought he had a chance to stick with the Redskins. I guess the “Cult of Colt” will be history unless he gets picked up soon.
I’m ready for training camp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get my mind off the sad news of Colt
Tough news for Colt. Hope he ends up somewhere where he gets a chance.
I will still be rooting for the Redskins, regardless. Been a fan since I attended college in the area.

ST:
my vote for short yardage running back is The Beast – oh, wait, no can use him till 2011 – aw shucks – but like your idea and hope that Rolo has that withing the playbook.
also, use of more running plays; having the QB do an “audible”; use the pistol; in other words, make the damn game more interesting! will even root for a fake punt or field goal, under the right conditions as whenever JJ tried it it always backfired!!!!
I’m pretty confident that today’s news about Colt is actually good news. We’ll find out if it is in a few days.
Thanks for the info, Don. Are you planning to make any of the “tailgates” put on by UH? At Seattle, Panda Travel was included in the tailgate at Quest Field and we really enjoyed ourselves.
My football fantasy for the USC game is to let Dunnachie just put the ball as high and far as he can so we can watch the faces of the SC players and coaches – I would train my binocs on the returner as he waits for the ball to come down all the while being surrounded by UH players or turning around to run for a ball that is way over his head – that would be something to die for!!!!
ahouse…mail call.
Next fantasy, is to watch Salas or Pilares catching the ball across the middle, say 10 yards, between the DBs and run like hell to the end zone!

That was an impostor who posted that comment. He’s the same person as NCAA I think.
Or not.

We should send Pepa to live with the A-house’s from a month. I’m pretty sure the A-house family can get him into tip-top shape. Mr. A-House used to train the troops before sending them to Vietnam. And Mrs. A-House, well what can I say. Even though she comes in a small package, what do they say? Carries a big stick? She carries a HUGE stick.

9 FB alums confirmed for West Point with one of them a team mate I haven’t seen in 30+ yrs.
Only 2 FB Alums confirmed in Boulder so far but I have tickets for tailgate and game for 10 relatives. Still some time for me to buckle up to meet the cousins,
See you at both.

Mr. DPK,
From your statement you are saying that the many lurkers and posters that have not made their identities known are cowards. Shame on you.
Mr. Tsai,
I agree, Mr. Colt Brennan is one of the best college QB’s of all time.
Okay, one vote for that side of the column. Score is 10 for yes he’s a coward and 1 for no he isn’t. Thanks DPK, much appreciated.

I was also part of the very first training group that put all intellience officers at Ft Devens, MA through a very rigorous “survival training” program before they were shipped to Nam.
Our commander was COL Millet, Medal of Honor winner in Korea.
Funny, but every time I gain access to a military installation, my demeanor changes from a happy go lucky Tsaiko, to COL, US Army retired and I take no shit from anybody.
for me…i’d like to see salas and pilares run over some unassuming db’s on their way to the end zone.
Go Colt! We believe!!! STFU!!! Go Liz Kauai!!!
Almost that time. Close your eyes. What do you smell? Disinfectant. Plaster and tape. Sweaty smelling equipment. Grass. Grass. Sweet smell of grass. Fall season is here. When you’re done playing. That’s what you miss the most. The yearly smell of Autumn grass. The introduction to the start of a new season. Sniff. Ahhhhhhh.
I’m ready for training camp!
GO WARRIORS!!!!
I thought you learned that from growing up on Kaua’i, even before you set foot on your first military installation, no shit from anybody.
Congrats to my Uce Tyson Alualu who is now officially the $5 million dollar man. Malo Uce.
Good for Tyson. Wherever you find successful people, you’ll find even more awesome parents. Right Al?

While working during the summer vacation for a contractor, 3 of the 4 carpenters were memebers of the 10th Bn and they related to me stories of how the Red Cross workers would break open “care packages from home” in front of everybody, remove what they wanted, and threw the package to the soldier. I SHALL NOT FORGET!!!
Stretch:
Are you saying that Gig has invited us into her living room to watch the game on her 55″ tv with unlimited food and beverages?
Is there a sign up sheet? Will it be posted on this blog?
10th Bn of course should be 100th Bn.
A-House – free food and drinks at gigi’s?? Nothing against gigi, but no thanks, I would rather be in the stadium watching it LIVE!! there’s no comparison
My football fantasy for 2011 is to see The Beast running over opponents on short yardage situations; especially, in the red zone as all opponents know that UH has problems in this area. Up front blockers are ( fill in the blank).
Stretch:
amen to your #199!
pride…#193 more truths. if not the parents then a grandparent(s).
Sheesh!!! See what happens when I step out and shop for an hour at Kmart and Office Max??? STUFF HAPPENS.
Gee, t’anks, guys!
If I could sit in a luxury box next to ST’s box at Aloha Stadium, then count me in. But til then…
Anyone here get Versus HD channel?
ST:
I’m ready for training camp, but no one asked me to particiapte – too old, I guess!
Gigi:
When you buy a luxury box, you going invite us in free of charge?
All the food and beverage free?
thank you, thank you, thank you!
I can guarantee that if you donate a BIG amount of money to UH, you can get a seat somewhere in one of the boxes. BTW – nothing in Aloha Stadium is “luxury”.
A-House,
depends on how many reclining sofas I can fit in the luxury box. If get enough room for you and the missus, i’ll invite you!
Happy Birthday Rob25!
We looked for you at the car show yesterday in Kapolei. What happened? Did your Portagee PT Cruiser have a breakdown on the H-1??
Stretch,
you haven’t been reading the Star-Advertiser! There is a master plan to build such a box in the future — just for gigi and gigi’s pals.
gigi – you better start saving your pennies, the $420 you are paying for PPV is NOTHING!!
Fasten your jock straps.
A good afternoon to everyone!
Happy happy birthday to Rob25!!!
Whoo-hoo!!!
Stretch,
who said I gotta pay for a luxury box???
Well, actually, I don’t know how that works. But I did read that there are plans to build such boxes in the future.
aloha, wafan! Has school started in WA yet?
1st day of school.
What fool thought of starting school during August without A/C?
So, the Redskins wanted to make a statement that they aren’t gonna take it anymore…and instead of really releasing Albert “fat boy” Haynesworth, who is on a 100mil contract and still not able to practice, etc., the redfaced-skins let go of a lesser player who isn’t making that kind of money……but they ain’t foolin around, they mean busine$$….oh yeah!!!
Good luck whatever the future holds for you Colt…..best wishes and prayers.
Anybody knows how much Colt was making?
Does Jim Donovan have to pay for his box? Isn’t that a perk for him?
gigi – you going to be AD??!!?? JD has a box that he can use BUT he lets others use it, he sits outside in regular seats. Donors, visiting team AD’s, etc are in there.
GG . . .
No. We run the regular school year — September to June. My first day is the Tuesday after Labor Day.
Thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes!! Unfortunate news to report…I have to work because there isn’t a furlough today. I’m thinking birthday furloughs might be a good thing.
Dallas Cowboys would welcome Colt with open arms…for real, let’s get rid of Romo!! Colt can take us to the Promised Land!
Have a great day and thanks again!!
Let’s go Warriors!!
Oxymoron — Aloha Stadium Luxury Box.
Shoko
I enjoyed watch VS in HD during the Tour de France
Kekoa…
My daughter had me running around from Kapolei and then back to Salt Lake. Pick her up, pick her friends up…man, I’m just tired thinking about all the running around I had to do yesterday. Sorry, never even made it to the car show.
Stretch,
have you ever been inside JD’s box? Curious as to how nice it is. I hope he sits under the roof so he doesn’t catch the rain. lol

August 2nd, 2010 at 1:03 pm
Almost that time. Close your eyes. What do you smell? Disinfectant. Plaster and tape. Sweaty smelling equipment. Grass. Grass. Sweet smell of grass. Fall season is here. When you’re done playing. That’s what you miss the most. The yearly smell of Autumn grass. The introduction to the start of a new season. Sniff. Ahhhhhhh.
😆
…man, to this day, whenever I get a whiff of Lysol spray…. 🙁
…and of course, we all had the teammate who figured that if he never washed his practice jersey no one would want to hit him. 😯 👿 🙄
Colt to Dallas? That would mean I would have to cheer for them. UGH!
Colt to Seattle! But we would need a real HC rather than a rules breaker.
garrett re:100
I can tell you that conference realignment isn’t over yet. I can’t give details but there is talk with a certain TV station and a few team from the MWC, CUSA, and the BigEast. Nothing set but big $$$ guaranteed.
👿 WAFAN!!!
Rob25,
are you residing in Hawaii, now? I thought you lived on the mainland.
gigi – the box that JD has is open air, no AC, but is under cover. Food and drinks are available. Believe me, it’s nothing special.
awww, Stretch just disillusioned gigi big time. If no a/c then might as well stay home!!!
If something happens with Memphis and the Big East, I bet they won’t be using UPS to send the documents! 😆
BTW, it is 75 degrees F in my house right now. AC hits the spot.
ROB25!!!
Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Colt to Dallas…. I’m not ready for that one….
😈
Paka,
are you back in Texas or still in Hawaii?
Thanks Liz!
gigi refers to herself in the 3rd person?
d1島 is amazed….
The stadium “boxes” used to have folding chairs. Only slightly better than actual boxes to sit upon.
d1,
yeah I am sort of like an object – an It.
Prediction from my trusty magic 8 ball. ( Remember those?)
Shaking, shaking Mr. 8 ball >>>> Colt see’s brighter days with a great team and more favorable venue by Friday….
Shaking Mr. 8 ball again >>>> Gigi finally realizes it’s cheaper to go the game for real 3D action vs. supporting Oceanic cable and their lame agreement.
Shaking Mr.8 ball for a third final time>>> Replying to Shoko # 285. No more Versus channel on the most popular broacasting service of DIRECT TV. only dish get that, but who has dish? not many anymore
Mr. 8 ball now needs a nappy-poo
The State of Hawaii is spending millions of dollars on Aloha Stadium now and plans to spend even more in the future, that I doubt a new stadium will ever be built in Kapolei, as some people have suggested.
I don’t need to shake a ball to know that CoolEthan is very practical with his money.
But, CE doesn’t realize how old and decrepit this gigi is!!! lol
Too damn old to negotiate those stairs and sit in a hard seat and scream her bloody head off.
LizK – ditto to #240. Colt in a Cowboys uniform? NEVER!!!
CoolEthan – LizK and I have DishNetwork. If Oceanic says “mine, mine”, I’m gonna have to get season tickets or figure out something else, esp for VB.
BTW, what about all those people who don’t have cable or satellite TV?
Colt released – Hawaii News – Staradvertiser.com…
I found your entry interesting do I’ve added a Trackback to it on my weblog :)…
Actually ST knows who blogs under what blog name – at least he knows what mailing address it came from.
STRETCH: Is JD’s box the one on the diamond head end zone third level?
Colt will be signed by someone….GUARANTEED!!! http://www.warriorsx.com
…and i’m guessing the bears, dolphins, jaguars…but not my favorite…THE RAMS! 🙂 http://www.warriorsx.com
I think Colt should be a Saint or take the Warren Moon route.
Colt a 49er? I don’t think that he’s the type of QB for Mike Singletary. Mike is old school. Use the run to set up the run. Colt needs to go to a team that throws the ball.
No, he is between the visiting coaches and visiting radio on the north end of the sideline pressbox.
Colt, Good luck. Hope some team picks you up right away. I still brlieve you’ll help someother team.
Too bad that the Saints already picked up Chase Daniel when he was cut by the Redskins last year. But they still went and added Sean Canfield out of Oregon to their roster. Now the Saints have Brees, Patrick Ramsey, Chase Daniel, and Sean Canfield. Although I agree, Colt would be good in their offense.
I’m ready for training camp.
I’m glad Colt is getting a fresh start. Colt will get a call. There are a lot of folks who still believe in him. Hang in there Colt!
The new Alaska/Bellingham flights would have been great while I was living in B’ham. Good for the Hawai’i kids going to school up there!
The only solace I can take about Colt being released by the Redskins is I won’t have to looked at the redskins web site anymore. While some of the posters were football savvy many of them didn’t know their football from their hanabata, not to mention their no class insults toward Colt.
gigi,
I’m back in Texas. It’s 105 degrees today.
Here’s something from Jason Reid of the Washington Post who spoke with Colt Brennan today:
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/quarterbacks/colt-brennan-says-skins-wanted.html
tampa bay?
#186 Col Lewis Millet, then a Captain, was given The Medal of Honor for leading a bayonet charge against the North Koreans after the unit ran low on ammo.
I’m ready for training camp.
Old Diver
I’m with you. Time to unsubscribe Washington Post email alerts.
Colt, we still believe!
wafan
Bellingham too far north for our son at Shoreline?
boo BYU boo.
Wife’s cousin only got cable for the Versus channel.
Mr. A-House is a beast, with apologies to The Beast.
I saw him running once. Nothing on his body moves.
Now me? You could get motion sickness watching me.
At least you can run.
Run my mouth …
Run up a tab …
Whew! 😯
Initially read that as “Mrs. A-House is a beast.” 😯
with all this running i am getting tired, haha
ST ON THE SPORTS ANIMALS IN A FEW MINS!!!
Speaking of personal experience… Colt’s better days are ahead of him.
Sometimes you need to go through hell to get to heaven.
Stephen’s cell cut off…. 😡
CSBoy,
my daughter told me the reason why she uses my PC is that her Macbook does not have enough memory and she does not want to download her assignments on it.
She does not care if she has dual mac and pc on her laptop at this point.
ST is tingling.
Woah!!!

Is it worth the cost of adding memory to the macbook?
Spent part of yesterday watching old games…BYU when Rolo went crazy and UW during our perfect season. Still fun to watch but ready for live 3D football at Aloha Stadium.
Bulla,
Da Beast already has done things I never could:
-Play D1 football.
-Run.

3rd level Diamond head box is the Governor’s to use
D1 & Pride
Unnamed player in the locker next to me kept his lucky socks in there for the entire season.
By game 7 they could stand up by themselves. Games 2-6 the flies were buzzing but by game 7 they said adios!!
They were not spanish flies if you thought of asking.
Utah State has raised 300 million in a fundraising campaign that started in 2007.
http://news.hjnews.com/news/article_1f465082-9de4-11df-9fb9-001cc4c002e0.html
DON WEIRS #289 3rd level Diamond head box is the Governor’s to use
I hope the new Governor will use it wisely – no free loaders or political cronies – just people who will donate BIG BIG bucks!
Of course if he wants to make an exception for me …
tommui
Your exception would be big, big, big bucks donated for its use.
Utah… State…
Utah State? $300,000,000.00??????????????????????
Lots of rich college basketball fans in Logan???? 😯
Psssst…chopsueyboy — “not enough memory” on a Mac is a secret code phrase . I will explain when I meet you in person. 😆
I’m ready for training camp.
Don Weir,
#289 ~ Eeeewwww ~ did those socks actually bring you guys luck? Did you have a winning season?
Oh ok.. $300 million for the ENTIRE university. Ok that makes more sense and is less “unbelieveable”.
But still $300,000,000.00 is impressive over a three year span.
Congrats to them for doing things RIGHT.
CSB . . .
B’ham is about 1.5 hours north. I think it is still quicker to SEA for azngamer. Flew from B’ham International to Vancouver, BC for an Air Canada flight to HNL. No problems.
RainbowCliff okay the system is running again. Here’s the skinny, to donate online to UH athletics to the UH athletic site, upper tab, select support athletics with the cursor, a drop will open on contact with the cursor, go to donate online, all the programs are listed.
lots of fans on the warrior beat are already football supporters, AKA, Na Koa, and lettermen’s club, some of us are expanding our support. Several of us are forming or resurrecting the Na Wahine softrball booster club that has been idle for several years, and I know Rob25, stretch and powderpuff have joined the men vb boosters, others like duffer want to help women basketball.
so I ask, if you can help us in developing interest in supporting women athletics at UH in the california area from Hawaii expatriates we would deeply appreciate it. more info to come very soon, soon as Clapp and Katahara approve our by laws. Pomai is our lead person ever since 2007 when he lead the tsaikos in funding the bracelets for the WAC championship team that wasn’t being honored or provided with any gifts from the UHAD
from the donate online tab, click on softball and read coach coolen’s message, its a good summary of all women sports, they need help. more so, since our football and basketball teams haven’t been winning and bringing in the fans to increase revenue
#300
300!
4th century.
wafan,
Will you be here to watch practice? I’m ready for training camp.
wafan lurks in the dark, pounces on 300 like its a big cheeseburger, mine.
Good luck to Colt! I hope he can find a team that will appreciate his talents. When he hooks up with a team, at least it will be because the coach wants him there. Very disappointed that Shanahan did not give him a real shot in Washington.
When his playing days are done, he knows he can come home to Hawaii.
@272
Define “run”.
Define “run”
…Tsaikos at a buffet?
I have fb withdrawls and…
I’m ready for training camp!!!
—————–
Hello there, Tsaikos and Tsaikettes, Lurkers and Lurkettes!
Long time no type here, whoa and wot, gigi is BaCk??? (Hi gigi!)
My deepest condolences to the Domay Ohana and his wife Patti. I only found out about his passing today. I never met him but he was just the nicest most thoughtful cordial gentlemanly blogger.
Sorry to hear about Colt :-(, but like they say, when one door closes, another one will open. Colton-Dude, if that’s what you want and what you will do next, I’ll cheer for whatever team you’re on! 🙂
And last but not least —
Happiest of birthdays to Rob25!!! May your Cowboys get da Colton!!! ; )
First!
UHFan I hopes Colt becomes a RAIDER, I want the raiders to return to the glory days and throw the rock deep and often.
Well, I guess the OIA White will have to wait then….
Good luck Colt!
Go Warriors!
ralph…highly unlikely for colt to go to oakland not with jason campbell there.
I think Esme is in the last couple of pictures from Nadine’s blog:
http://urbanmixplate.honadvblogs.com/2010/08/02/a-sneak-preview-at-gridiron-2010/
Shucks sorry Ralph, you gotta wait for your birfday 🙁
Both Kanoa and Robert mentioned the CFL in their reports on Colt. They didn’t exclude the NFL, I just thought it interesting that both would mention the CFL.
Al trade campbell for a OL, campbell is too mechanical, stiff in his movements, like he is trying to remember what he suppose to be doing. make a tight end out of him
A touching story on the news about Alualu – he’s going to buy a one acre parcel in Kalihi and build a church and a home for his parents on it.
The guy definitely has his priorities straight.
Hmmm. The “March of the penguins” came to mind… 😐
I’m ready for training camp.
Don, unnamed player in 1979 with a locker to my immediate right, didn’t wash his jersey through camp and through the first seven games. Equipment manager went into the locker after the seventh game and put in the washer when everyone was at school. Yes, the jersey did stand up on it’s own. Major hauna’s.
Thanks for letting me post here, Tsai-kos.
Jazmine Zamora, 2010 UH commit, is in Georgia with her SVG Velocity softball team competing in the 2010 ASA Gold Tournament. SGV Velocity defeated the St. Louis Fusion 5-2 today. They will play the Beverly Bandits Tuesday, live stats available. Today she was 0-2, run scored, 4 assists, and she is the starting short stop
Thanks for the link, Last Call.
A long time ago, UH president Kenneth Mortimer asked Gov. Cayetano, if UH can raise money, will the state not cut a corresponding amount in funding? No promises were made, and that, of course, became a problem. The more money UH can raise, the likelihood it will receive even less from the the state. I mean, we all have our problems, don’t we? But on this treadmill, UH can never get ahead.
I’m worried about high school sports. Keith Amemiya did such a great job raising money last year. Can that continue? Not very likely this time around. So where will the money come from?
There’s a lesson to be learned from Utah State’s fund-raising.
By the way, I’m making deliveries tomorrow.
Just need to know what to do with Garret’s guide?
There will be a posting in tomorrow’s blog, but Bobbie Omoto from UH wants to know who would like to volunteer for Saturday’s Manoa Makeover. Meet at 7:30, orientation at 7:45, then work from 8 to noon. Volunteers get T-shirts and a bbq meal.
Call Bobbie at 956-6501 for details.
I’m ready for training camp
another sidebar to ST’s comment on Dr. Mortimer’s fund raising efforts is JD’s request for each sport booster club toraise $25K, it’s not mandatory, but it is thinking out of the box in an effort to reduce the deficit or at least the amount UHAD spends on a program. like in ST analysis, the women non revenue sport, except wvb, can never get ahead. Na Wahine sports operate on bare bones budget, they don’t pull in much revenue, and they must depend on the largess of the UHAD fulfilling title IX requirements. The 25K raised, if at all possible, would go a long way in bettering the Na Wahine programs, instead it stagnates at the same level with the income level coming from different sources but not in large amount
I meant to say that the Na Wahine program stagnates if it raised $25K but it goes into a general fund and the sport the funds were raised for gets the same amount it usually gets from the UHAD with an adjustment for inflation and some additional money to cover cost arising from extension of play into championship tournament, regional play and beyond.
I’ve already called in and volunteered for Saturday’s Manoa Makeover. So have the A-House’s.
Good night all.
