Flag day
A flag football game involving former Warriors will precede the Warrior Bowl on April 27.
Asked why it will be flag and not tackle football, organizer Tony Tuioti, a UH coach and former defensive tackle, said: “We’re old.”
Still, passions don’t die away, and it should be competitive.
Interested participants need to call Tuioti at the UH football office: (808) 956-6508.

Quarterback Danny O’Brien has decided to transfer from Maryland to Wisconsin.
What the heck does this have to do with UH?
O’Brien will earn his bachelor’s degree in four years and, under NCAA rules, he may transfer to another FBS school without sitting out a season. O’Brien strongly considered the Warriors. After the new UH coaches evaluated their quarterback situation, they were impressed enough with David Graves and Cayman Shutter to withdraw from pursuing O’Brien.

Birthday wishes to LizKauai and PapaJoe.
Who’s the alumni so far?
And are you playing tsai?
I broke my thumb playing flag football.
kifi, dave, you folks ready to strap it on?
Top 10? Yay!
Here’s to flag day!
Happy Birthday to you, Ms. Liz!
All the monkeys in the zoo
wish that they could ROCK like you!
They just have to make sure that they don’t do the ol’ wrap-around trick, with the flag double looped.
Good Morning everyone!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIZKAUAI !!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPAJOE2 !!! </b
Tony is playing.
I imagine Grice-Mullins will play.
Eh!
Howzit!
Is the flag football game open to anyone who is interested?
My last flag football game was in PE at Intermediate school. The fast and agile guys would fly past or slip around most of us. After being down 50-sumthin to zero, we were finally pulled their flags by tackling them first. 😉
Everyone wears flags? Linemen too?
Pacific leaving Big West for WCC.

Happy Birthday pj2!
Kevin & homey should play
Bryson:
Flag football is open to any former Warrior.
Er, make that former UH Warrior.
OK, OK, my bad Kamehameha and Marquette graduates.
We should have a flag football game against our friends at Sportshawaii.com.
Not sure how I got on the mailing list, but apparently Bernie Williams and Todd Marinovich are available for interviews.
Re19: or we could have one against those god awful WSN arm chair know it all’s…..especially since they think all we do is talk about food and cruises…lol
happy birthday lizk and papajoe2!
too uop decides to bolt to the wcc.
i was looking forward to the revival of some rivalries in women’s sports in particular.
Maybe like stocks, UH can keep splitting. Some teams go to the WCC, some stay in the Big West …
Marinovich would make an interesting interview though he doesn’t have any ties to the Warriors. He was raised from the time he was born to be a quarterback, had a successful high school and college career, and flopped as a pro when he had substance abuse and legal problems. Reminds me of Ryan Leaf. I read recently that Marinovich is now a successful artist and is turning his life around.
Our good buddy Midnight is making great headway since his big event last week Tuesday. His loverly wife Barb was about to take him for a walk when we got off the phone just now. Keep Korrageous Kal and Barb in your prayers!
the marinovich story somewhat mirrors the tate forcier saga wherein the kid was bred to be a quarterback from as soon as he could walk.
the pressure got to marinovich. forcier continues his journey and i hope he gets it one day.
BTW, ex Kansas QB Brock Berglund (2011 Valor HS graduate), who was recruited by Norm Chow to Utah, is still unattached and looking for a new school to play. He is 6’4″. Also prior assault charges against him were dropped.
ST, #19, that would be a great fundraiser for Nakoa.
$25 to play, $50 to watch us kill ourselves..
looks like Wisconsin is the “transfer here for one more season” school. Last year was the same thing with Russel Wilson. Seems to work out for them.
I was wondering who the QB they were no longer interested in was . . . O’Brien. Was he a starter for Maryland?
Marinovich is available for interviews for what?
Good morning Tsaikos!
Happy Birthday LizKauai and Papajoe2! Have a great day!
Kev-1
I get e-mails from (non-UH) p.r. people all of the time asking if want to interview clients.
Al,
That does suck. Pacific’s softball team has been pretty good and having a good year so far.
I’ll play nutball.
😎 Bryson — please remind them that I am not a travel agent and any arrangements are strictly on their own… but please let me know if WSN organizes a pre or post tailgate cruise in conjunction with a UH football game.
Cruise tailgate is a 3-7 night tailgate that could run 24/7. Best part is that you do not have to buy/prepare food, drink all you can afford, and no need to drive home. I envision “choosing/designating” a lounge or public area on ship and all members can wander in anytime and meet others to talk football and use their laptops & phones. Since everything is open 24/7, the odds you will find someone there (depending on the size of your group). Spouse doesn’t want to talk football? Careful–keep her out of the spa. 🙄
#35 –
Thats just nuts.
With Russell Wilson last year, and Danny O’Brien this year, Wiscy has become king of the one and done QB’s.
BIK
Danny O’Brien was the ACC Freshman of the year when at Maryland. In the last 2 years, Maryland has been a mess with many players kicked off the team or transferring on their own.
That’s good news, regarding the caliber of our QB’s.
” … After the new UH coaches evaluated their quarterback situation, they were impressed enough with David Graves and Cayman Shutter to withdraw from pursuing Danny O’Brien. … “
Danny O’Brien will actually graduate in 3 years. He will have 2 to play 2 at Wincy.
Don’t know about Danny O’Brien’s character, but its beginning to sound like he may have been another one of those “entitlement babies” who insist on being guaranteed things instead of competing for them. Good luck to him if he is. Let’s hope not.
Hey, where is our current halibut or salmon report from Alaska? We should get weekly updates from whoevahs, wherevahs, through July.
Happy Birthday LizK!
Go Warriors!
Aloha from LA!
MANEO !!!
Rainbow Wahine Softball JUST arrived in Las Cruces about an hour ago after departing HNL late last night.
Slezi did you ever research Danny O’Brien or you just prejudging the guy. If the latter then I guess you would classify June Jones as a “entitled baby” for leaving Oregon AND Hawaii because of not getting PT.
Guys move on. How you think we landed Taylor Graham
Happy Birthday LizKauai and Papajoe2! Have a great day!
Happy Birthday LizKauai and Papajoe2!
Happy Birthday to LizKauai and Papajoe2!
Pacific leaving the Big West for the WCC… hmmm, what a downer. That means no road trips to Stockton, the Most Miserable City in America according to Forbes last year.
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/2012/03/the-most-miserable-city.html
Seriously, the Tigers do have a strong softball program, so that’s a loss. But in most other sports they’re middle-to-bottom of the pack in the Big West. And as a small (5K students) private school they’re a better fit in the WCC.
Also this will result in both the Big West and WCC having 10 members, which from a scheduling perspective is ideal for a non-football conference.
I suppose the only question is whether UH should change its name to UC Honolulu, since it will now be playing conference oppponents comprised exclusively of University of California and California State University schools.
Congrats to former Wahines Stacey Porter, Justine Smethurst, and Clare Warwick for being named to the 2012 Open Women’s Team for Australia along with Kaia Parnaby.
They will participate at the ISF XIII Open Women’s World Championship in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada from July 13-22 2012.
“We’re excited that Danny has chosen to attend Wisconsin,” Bielema said in a statement. “The first thing we did when we were aware of Danny’s interest was to try and find out what type of person he was and if he would fit into our program. From our dealings with him and all the things I have heard from those who have been around him, he is a tremendous person and has great character. He had a fantastic visit and our current players who met him came away impressed. Having graduated from Maryland in just three years, you know right away that he is a smart kid.”

RE interviews . . . oh I see ST, thanks for the clarification
LIZ and PAPAJOE – happy birthday and best wishes!
Kevin:
#55 – hmmmm, if memory serves me right, all the Australian SB gals who were selected to their national team in their “jr” year never came back to finish their senior year.
if this hold true, does not bode well for UH unless Coach Coolen can recruit one or two outstanding pithcers for 2013 season or does he already have replacements ready to go?
a most Happy Birfday to LizK and PPJ2!!!
Happy Birthday papajoe2
I’m not an advocate of “redos”, better to grow your own within your program versus bringing someone on with baggage…
slenzi, just a little early for salmon, but I think that the steelheads are still in the rivers. Saw some in se alaska and they are huge. To dream!!!!! hahahahahaaa

A-House,
You’re thinking about the Olympics actually. Since softball is no longer a part of the Olympics until 2016at the least, no worries.
Kaia has been competing continuously for Australia in things like these since her arrival.
We have had sum super “redos” in the past. Larry Cole, Golden Richards, Larry Sherrer, Colt Brennan, Tom Tuunei’s brother, and more. I trust the coaches to make the decision whether they accept one or not.
Mark Tuuinei. dang, that was hard on the brain.
A-House,
In addition to Kaia being a senior next season he’s signed lefty Loie Kesterson from California and MPI’S Keiki Carlos for the spring of 2013.
After that he has verbals for two standouts in California. Brittany Hitchcock and Heather Morales. Both girls are about 5’9-5’10 with TREMENDOUS ERAs in rhe 1.20 and sub 1.00 range and plus .400 batting averages.
Morales played for the Firecrackers, one of, if not the premiere travel club in So-Cal.
Happy birthday xlLiz and papajoe2! You’re not getting older…just spoiling.
I’m too old for running around playing flag football. How about paddle surfing?
Oh… softball birthdays today too.
Happy Birthday to associate head coach Dee Wisneski and former Rainbow Wahine, current captain of the 2012 Australian Open Women’s Team Stacey Porter!
Kevin:
you are correct amundo! it was the olympics.
and thanks for the updates in #69 – Coolen is one heck of a recruiter!!!
Happy Birthday LizK and Papajoe 2….
Okay, off to the races again.
A-House,
Most local softball fans are already familiar with Carlos. If you watched her battle with Leisha Liilii in the state finals last season, it was fun to watch. Carlos is not a big, physically imposing pitcher like Ricketts, but she had some good field presence in the circle.
Loie Kesterson’s profile from her travel squad’s website:
http://www.eteamz.com/americanpastimegold/roster/index.cfm?season=704566&sport=6&id=8930260
However not too old to go to the batting cages and get some hitting tips from the blog experts.
BW96744, re: your #43 notes 3 years to graduate & 2 to play 2. But the Wisky news release says he graduated from Maryland in 3 years. In these situations doesn’t the player only have one year of eligibility left, does not have to sit out transfer year as a grad student?
Can see why Coach Chow opted not to take him only for a 1 year quick fix. For the long haul, future depth makes sense to trust Graves & Shutter.
Coolen is just reloading.
willie: o’brien spent 3 years at maryland (1 redshirt and 2 active years) so he has 2 years left to play 2 seasons. no need sit out because he graduated. UH is in a similar situation with an o-lineman.
Cheepono, appreciate the clarification & explanation. Who is the O-lineman and where did he start out at?

My brother and I went to this game. Sold out. People outside the stadium were willing to pay $200 cash for a ticket.
Marinovich and Seau were for USC. Rice, Watters, Rocket, Zorich, and Lyght were for ND. Classic match. First thing- BEEF in the endzone before the game. That set the tone. Everyone knew this was going to be a battle to the end.
I’ve always wished Hawaii fans could be as enthusiastic, dedicated, and loyal as ND fans are to their Fighting Irish. The entire stadium stood up throughout the entire game. Everyone knew and belted out every cheer.
Under JJ’s watch, I’ve always felt the key missing ingredient has been discipline. We’ve TOTALLY got it now under Chow.
I’m soooo looking forward to seeing glory days arise in Halawa! It’s gonna be awesome!!
kiha sai’s oldah braddah.
Don’t know the exact ruling but do know O’Brien Redshirted in 2009, Started in 2010, was a backup in 2011 and will graduate this spring. He can play immediately at any D1 school in fall 2012 as a RS Jr.
2013???.take more dance classes to.extend his grad school, perhaps?
Maybe Garret, WarriorMojo, Duster, Nakoa Mike others at a higher IQ scale than me might know..
Aloha Earl Scruggs.
OK 3 guys was interviewing for an FBI job. The agent called up the first guy, a Hawaiian. He gives him a gun and said “your wife is in that room all tied up in a chair. Your test is to kill your wife with this gun. The Hawaiian responded, “sorry sir. I cannot do that. I love my wife too much. FBI agent dismisses the Hawaiian and calls the next guy, a Filipino. He gives him the gun and says “you wife is in the next room tied to a chair. You are to go in the room and kill your wife with this gun.” The Filipino goes into the room then silence. The door opens and the Filipino comes out crying saying “I am so sorry sir, I could not do it.” So the agent dismisses the Filipino. Then then calls up the last guy, a Potagee, and gives him the gun and tells him “your wife in the the next room tied to a chair. I want you to go in their and kill your wife with this gun.” So the Potagee takes the gun, enters the room and closes the door behind him. BANG! BANG! 2 shots ring out, then CRASH! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!. The door opens Potagee comes out and says to the agent “Eh, the gun only had blanks, so I had to use da chair.”
Beautiful day in Hawaii. Have a great day everybody!
Thanks for the birthday wishes from all the Tsaikos. Had a great day at golf on this beautiful day. Won $1.50. I goin spen ‘um tonite for dinna.
In high school, I was told a joke about a Hawaiian guy driving a car behind a Portuguese guy driving a pick-up loaded with dozens of black bowling balls.
The punchline made laugh non-stop from lunch time to my 6th period class which was two hours later.
It took me months to re-tell the joke without losing composure before the punchline.
Not sure if I should post it here.
Hey errybody!!! Party at Joe’s house tonight!!! Get dinnah, erryting!!! 😆 😆 😆
happy happy bday to Liz and papajoe2, a happy 39th to the both of you 🙂

CBS This Morning – Five things cruise lines don’t want you to know…
A cruise can be romantic and fun, but once you set sail, it’s not always “The Love Boat.” CBS News travel editor Peter Greenberg reveals five things you should know about taking a cruise. …
Bulla, thanks but I just turned 40. I was tired of being 39 for 19 years. Had to move on. 🙂
40? wow, papajoe2 and i are the same age.
You guys are way younger than me.
papajoe2…
You going be be like thick oil? 20-40? Me too.. next month.
We are like dinosaurs… going to turn into petrol soon enough…
I have been in a secret last-minute cruise fare stare down game for the last 2 months.
Yesterday, I flinched.
So, will be on the Pride of America doing the 7-day romp from April 21, 2012.
The Maui Warrior practice will the same day. Shucks…one day off sync. 😐

…another scouting mission for updated intel for a future Tsai-ko cruise. 🙄

It sounds like Pacific going to the WCC is actually a good thing for the Big West. It’ll be interesting to see what’s in store for San Jose State in the future. The WAC is sinking fast and San Jose State is probably praying that certain doors open up…and soon.
What conference are Boise’s Olympic sports in?
If the Big East grabs other western schools, the Big West could actually grow and become stronger.
OK, SteveM, this scouting mission is starting to turn into a state feasibility study. What is this, your gadzillionth PoA cruise? 🙄 😆 j/k
is he our next point guard?

i thought stevem was in to vancouver bound cruises???
jm2375 — well, it’s a training mission too. Have to familiarize a new cruise inspector with the area. Maybe meet some indigenous Tsai-kos too. 😆
al — Honolulu to Vancouver repos in April next year is on the training schedule. 🙂
Thanks for the sensible evaluation. Me and and my associate were just preparing to do some research about this. We got a book from our local library but I think I learned better from this post. I am very happy to see such knowledgeable information being shared freely on the net.
It’s fairly stressful to find threads like these since there is absolutely not much explanation currently offered on the the web about this. I would like to thank you for the time you spent to write this blog post. I’ll stop by from time to time in hopes to read your new articles. Bye, bye, Jessica from nyc.
Answer: That’s what people do. The same could be said for theology and philosophy. People on here constantly repeat nonsense about every topic on earth. Why should evolution be any different?
ActiveHybrid versions seems to a active competitor for all other luxury variants that will enter market at the latest. The result will always be in favor of the top brand…
Fairly excellent submit. I simply found a person’s web site plus wished so that you can tell you this I have quite appreciated reading through a person’s site plus reports. Nevertheless I’ll often be signing up a person’s feast plus I actually hope so that you can look over a person’s site again.
Hi thank you for presenting Great information.I am now bookmarking you for future research.good luck with this great materialwebsite.
Good morrow, all!

hi ho hi ho everybody.
Morning, gangees!
This really is the correct blog for anyone who wants to discover about this topic. You understand so a lot its nearly difficult to argue with you (not that I actually would want…HaHa). You definitely put a brand new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Excellent stuff, just great!
must be hollywood brainwashed because i picture old couples and old single people looking for romance on cruises. but i did see a cruise commercial on tv with a younger person riding a skateboard deck on a man-made wave. must’ve been on of the younger cruise employee.
It is the best time to make some plans for the future and it is time to be happy. I have read this post and if I could I desire to suggest you some interesting things or advice. Maybe you can write next articles referring to this article. I desire to read more things about it!
plenty tragic news in this mornings online SA. prayers for all.
I was just thinking the same thing CP . . . I second that
CP,
One tragic thing is HPD didn’;t bring out their sharpshooter.
People are SICK of these IDIOTS effecting an entire neighborhood.
HPD, SHOOT FIRST ASK QUESTIONS LATER!!!!!!!
