Re: Circuit City

Be aware that whatever you buy from now on, you are not buying from an on-going enterprise.
They have turned everything over to a company that is strictly there to liquidate the inventory. There may be some people around wearing Circuit City Unis but they are no longer there with customer service or retention in mind!
If you buy something be sure it is still factory-sealed and even then if you take it home and it doesn’t work, don’t expect the people at the Circuit City facility to help you!
btw, I’ve heard that they will not allow you to open things and power them up before you buy to ensure that it is working.
Really go in with your “eyes open”…Caveat Emptor

….and this is not even mentioning the pricing “abnormalities”>/b>

$1,500 Reward??!!?? What area is this dog missing?? I better start drving around and look for it.

That is one beautiful dog. Hope Dara Young’s friend didn’t go golfing in Moanalua…

Hope you make it to your Rotary Seminar! That is a long bus ride.

WAC is representing now!!

Someone already came out with a preseason top 25 list, even though it seems extremely early to me.

TCU is #9
BSU is #14
Utah is #16

Utah State’s recently fired head coach is now the DC at Louisville. Given the salary escalation of BCS coordinators, he might actually be making more now than he did when he was the head coach at Utah State.

University of Louisville head football coach Steve Kragthorpe completed his defensive staff yesterday by naming Brent Guy the defensive coordinator and hiring Antonio Goss to coach safeties.

“Brent has a tremendous amount of experience and success as a defensive coordinator,” Kragthorpe said in a release. “I loved his defenses at Boise State and Arizona State. Those teams put up some excellent defensive numbers, and he coached some great players. Guy’s teams played great fundamental football and were well-coached.”

Great to hear that Mouton is doing well today! This game (and the practices leading up to the game) is very important for his NFL future.

anyone watching the East-West shrine game? I just turned it on now and Fresno’s Brandstater was moving the team down the field. There’s that Oklahoma receiver Johnson who’s got our big green H right on the front of his forehead. cool. he either likes our team or made friends with Mouton

Tadd is going to have a *huge* gallery following him around tomorrow! I hope that he can stay up there high on the leaderboard!

Love how they exchange stickers!!

Stretch, you and Addahknowjoe should have sent a whole bunch with Mouton.

The reason I said #57 is that most of the players at the top of the leader board haven’t started their rounds yet (at least according to the site I just checked), so Tadd could end up between 5-15 at the end of today.

AWESOME to see the UH pep band at the Stanley last night!!!

HOWEVER….

WHERE WAS THE INFAMOUS CHRIS RAWSON?!?!?!?!?!

I spent half of the first set looking and listening for him, but alas…. NOTHING!

Although the Manoa Maniacs tried to do their part.

Hmmmm…yep, I like the way Stretch said it better….

just saw a texas player with the H in the front too. cool.

At least the West is making it a game now!

Rob,

From my seats last night, I did spot a former middle blocker sitting behind “Da Aunties”. I couldn’t remember his name. He played about two or three seasons ago. He kinda looked like Rawson though.

Don’t know if the TV caught it, but the band and the Maniacs made for some funny stuff while Pepperdine was on their side of the court.

Some of the female students were really giving it to the Pepperdine servers though. I couldn’t hear what they were saying but I’m pretty sure it was messed up. Hahahahahaha…

Maybe the NFA shutdown Rawson’s brother…you know, it’s not very sportsmanlike for the home team to say anything less than complimentary of the opponent. This rule only applies to Hawaii though.

Wait…I forgot, the men’s VB team isn’t in the WAC.

NFA,

U-F-A

Chris Rawson and Buti-Groove should get together.

The shirts to compliment the voice.

God forbid someone tries to bring back some life in the stands to Men’s Volleyball.

Last I heard, Hunt had 19 kills. He had a helluva night!

China…dude, they bring you in to serve…and…nuff said.

Stretch – Rawson’s bro is something like the whiteboard of a certain booster that I know.

Every college crowd should have thousands of Chris Rawsons.

and zero NFA’s.

I’d make a horrible heckler.

I just get belligerent and angry and obscene to the point where they wouldn’t even understand what I am screaming…

Royson16,

Maybe the e-mails to Coach Wilton cc’d to the associate band director could of helped also… 😛 .

i’ll speak up for the band again.
for the longest time, coach wilton did not want the band there. he preferred to have vili. vili got really boring over the many years of doing the same thing over and over. they finally got the band to come back the other year. however, this is a volunteer band. they are made up of students that like sports and don’t mind coming out of their own time to the games. this is in addition to the men’s and women’s basketball games that they have to attend. during the fall season, the volunteer band can make all the wahine volleyball games because thats only one arena team they have to play for. there are also no volleyball games on football game days.
as for the cheerleaders, i’m not sure why they’re not there.
this has been discussed for years as to why volleyball crowds have diminished over they years.
my personal opinion is that the athletic department got greedy. when the place used to sell out, there were no bigger sports stars than both the men’s and women’s teams. however, that was during the first few years of having games in the arena. they didn’t know how to handle the ticketing compared to klum. all seats were general seating. this allowed for the fun, crazy, LOUD, young fans to be able to stand in line (to buy tickets and also get in) and get the best seats. this made the environment a great place to be at. this was during my years at UH. my group of friends spent many an overnighter trying to buy tickets or get a good seat.
uh saw all the $$$$ in the popularity and decided to make all seats reserved. get season ticket holders to cough up money to get the “good” lower bowl seats. this caused the fun fans to have to sit up in the nose bleeds with their signs and voices, never to be heard or seen from again. now its a boring place to be. i don’t blame fans. look, now not many of those season ticket holders go any more. look how many open seats there are.
ok, off my pedestal.

Chawan,

I wonder how much of an attendance decline we’ll have to experience before UH athletics takes an even HARDER look at the ticket pricing structure at the Stanley?

Women’s basketball is already 6.00 gen admin. Now ST mentioned making Men’s Volleyball 10.00 gen admin and that would be a good price. A dollar less than 11.00 and just two more than the “nosebleeds”.

Now Men’s basketball and Wahine Volleyball draw the “larger” crowds at the Stanley and even at 15.00 gen admin for both of these programs would be a good value.

It would a BIG financial risk, but BIG problems need BIG risks to create a BIG solution.

they should’ve made today’s wahine basketball game free for those with tickets to tonight’s game. they made tonight’s game free for those that bought the wahine game. they should’ve made it both ways.

Good afternoon Tsai-kos!

I gotta agree with Kazz and c_c. Make all seats except maybe a few sections general admission. Watched the GU/Duke game this am 😥 and saw how a REAL student crowd acts – coordinated and wild. Did the Duke students ever sit down? When I was at GU, during the glory days, the student section at the Capital Center was behind the baskets. I remember that for big games, it was an overflow crowd and some students didn’t have a seat. We’d be trying to sit in the aisles. The staff wouldn’t let us sit there or anywhere else. BTW, the Cap Center was out in the ‘burbs and was about a 30-45 min drive in rush hour traffic.

c_c

she is an administrator….mm-k.

i’d go to the wahine game if it was free with my men’s ticket. but then again, i’m not the average fan.
al, thanks.

the uh band was also often told by a certain person not to make noise or make it a home court advantage. if thats the case, lets just roll out the red carpet for the visiting teams. lets play their fight song. lets give them our home locker room and we’ll take theirs.
sometimes you wonder if some of these people have ever been to any big time school’s games. i’m glad JD is making changes.
our football team has played at some big venues the last few years and i hope thats left some people with a jealous taste in their mouths. hopefully that can roll over into the arena sports as well.

ok, i’ll shut up. i’ll save my energy for tonight’s game and the refs and spartan players.

make sure you yell to the opposing team, “good luck”, “you can do it”, “nice shot”…. for the refs, “that’s okay, you’ll get the next one correct”….

Right now, with the Wahine BB program and the Men’s VB program having below .500 seasons to start and the Men’s struggling with a winning record, the bottom line is winning.

All this talk about pricing is nice and all, but just a supplement to a winning product on the court/field. Reduced prices/incentives will bring a little more people into the arena, but that will only last a short while and it is nothing more that a piece of “tissue paper over the wound” (not even a “bandage”). The “wound” is still open and bleeding.

The “stitches” are in the hands of the coaches that have to prepare their team to win.

I think Jim Donovan and Co. have done a fine job in trying to ease the pressure on people’s wallets with the reduced prices in tickets, food, etc. Especially having to balance revenue and losses in these crappy economic times.

Right now, the teams need to win to get a good balance of good event pricing and having a product on the court/field of “good value”.

stretch,
don’t worry. we cheer for the refs when they actually make a good call. we occasionally get a sly look or smile. i got one ref to wink at me one time. too bad he was an old guy.

Maybe certain NFA’s would prefer that everyone stay home lest we do or say anything to offend, intimidate, or otherwise disparage the visiting team.

kazz,
we actually caught him when he made a horrible call. and he winked in acknowledgment that he screwed up. or something like that.

d1,
i could easily save money and spend my time at home watching K5 and yelling at the TV. but then i’d let them win, and i can’t let that happen.

Best part of the night was when this little kid started running around the upper bowl. He went from his seat clear around the entire SSC. I pointed the boy out to sj-macro and myki, and we were wondering how long it would take for someone to notice him. Sure enough, an usher caught the boy … just as he made it back to sit down with his mother, a couple sections away from us. 😛

i’m wondering what would happen if the noisier, louder fans complained to certain people about how boring the boring people make the arena. would they make them change?
ok, i lied, i didn’t shut up. now i will.

CC – SHUT UP!!

* DPK thinks to himself: “At least it’s not me this time.”* 😆

i have been sick and MIA for a few days. i figured i’d make up for lost time.

Save your energy, chawan_cut. I won’t be there tonight, so you gotta make up for me.

how come you not going?? you get one hot date??

Yep … nah, just kidding. We have a church board meeting tonight at 6.

That reminds me, I should set my VCR. Yes, I’m so old school, I don’t even have a DVR.

hiya Tsaikos.

whitey
Honaunau was closed out so we did a fun run from King Kam to Keahou pier. .wasn’t cold but sea wuz SMOKING! of course yours truly brought up da rear. kinda… 😛

The things that go on while watching a football game.

My favorites:

1.Watching fans throwing paper airplanes.
2.HPD making a tackle
3. Fans volleying a beachball away from ushers and HPD
4. Knowing the point spread of a game and watching some suspecting fans that bet on the game on the edge of their sits.
5. The wave. And the reverse wave.
6. Watching the elderly couple inconspicuously taking outside food from their attire and then hiding it when the ushers come around.
7.Watching fans yell obsenities at the refs.
8. Receiving an elbow for every time I looked at an attractive women walking up the steps. And then giving her a returning elbow every time she looked at some attractive man walking up the same steps.
9.A chorus of boos, especially for a wrong play call
10. The crescendo like pounding and cheering as Hawaii drives for a come from behind victory.
11.Watching the cheerleaders and listening to the band.
12.Watching the youngster’s in their seats idolizing their heroes on the field.
13. The greatest feeling is exiting Aloha Stadium with the masses of people all as happy as myself and celebrating a victory.

Hello…. where is everyone?

Pardon me, but what is or who is NFA?

Anyone know why UH makes a special effort to keep crowd noise/action down? Who made that decision and why?

Is the General Counsel’s office involved with the decision? Like, we don’t want to be sued if someone gets hurt.

I remember a lady filed a claim against the Honolulu Stadium and UH because a PAT hit her head while she was looking down for something in her purse. Dah, when you sit behind the goal post and a team is kicking the ball, you look up and watch what happens. Assumption of risk!!!

Is or are certain parts of UH still in the “paternal mode” like in the old plantation days? I grew up with this mentality and today am very against this attitude. Unionism is good, but it should have its limits. The leaders are the ones who have to be more innovative in what is needed by its members. To much of the same will kill unionism.

A-house – see #97.

WTF tech foul on Coach Nash? I don’t think I ever remember that happening. 😡

OK gang, only 3 or is it 4 more days to the “blow you over” revelation? What the heck is going to happen?

ST: do you have any more recruiting info to feed us? Like, who, of the 11 visiting Hawaii last week, solidified their commitment or others commiting to UH ( like Pierce Burton)?

Who visited this week end? And, does UH still have scholarship(s) to offer. I kinda lost track of who was offered, who accepted, who neva accept ( nah, who cares about these players), and like the energizer bunny, “still keeps going”?

Hope all can be finished before 1/31/09! That, would be some accomplishment for Coach Mack and his staff!!

you mean we cannot figure out how to break a 2-3 zone?

jm2375:

OK, the light bulb went on when I went back to #97 and looked at the initials again.

why does this individual have so much power? I’m just nosey.

I suppose this is a carry over from my military as I would always ask “why” or “have you considered…” or “what about…” and “next time you come to brief me, you better have all your ducks painted with the correct color”!!!

ahouse…..because she thinks she can.

i guess building attendance is not in her job description.

Got home and watching the replay of the East-West Shrine game. MOUTON!!! Awesome!!!

Tuned out of the men’s basketball game with about 5 minutes or so remaining in the game. The next couple weeks gonna be brutal for the team especially when they head back on the road.

wafan – I will never be an administrator. I like being a peon. No responsibilities. 🙂

What’s with the UH teams not being able to FINISH halfs and games? football, bb, vb…, hope this doesn’t happen with the baseball team.

Kekoa – go watch the bb game. Parghalava was responsible for letting the play clock run out TWICE. Balocka threw 2 brick free throws that barely hit the front of the rim. Both need some whacks and Balocka needs some attitude adjustment.

In some of the games this past year the proverb “it’s not how you start out… it’s how you end up that’s important” is so true.For against Florida, Oregon State and Cincinnati we were out of the blocks fast. But couldn’t hold on and sustain. And then we were overwhelmed by our better opponents.

With the end of recruiting soon approaching, undoubtable, we also raced out of the blocks fast, too, in the race to secure commitments,and similarly like how we did against the better teams on the field. And I’m not suggesting that the recruiting results may badly pan out. But as in the same light of how the team raced out and did well against the better teams on the field and looked very well early on in games and then being overwhelmed by the opponent… and that of jumping out on the recruiting trail and maybe falling short and perhaps potentially missing out on potential star recruits as going through the growing pains as a team. And as a coach. I see a same correlation. But how I look at every failure, be it as how we raced out in games and how we’ve subsequently raced out in the recruiting picture and not being able to close out our opponents on the field or possibly not closing out the deal with some of the recruits, as these failures likely serves as a stimulus for the future where we can improve and get better on the field and on the recruiting trail. By doing both someday, we’ll be making our program more attractive to the recruits. It’ll come.

And what’s noteworthy, is that I envision Coach Mack as the type of person that doesn’t take kindly to the losses on the field, especially after coming out onto the field with full steam in a few of these games and then withering. And like wise, maybe, missing out on potential star recruits on the recruiting trail.. In fact, I think he loses a lot of sleep over this. And I don’t think he’ll ever rest peacefully not until the job is done, namely in his words,”consistently contend for the WAC title, be a perennial top 25 team,attract the best recruits on the island and have our boys graduate.”.

And I can feel this wave euphoria and idealistic, yet realistic thinking someday approaching and manifesting it self out–where Coach Mack’s words turn out to be prophetic. It’s not going to be soon, but someday down the road, I have this good feeling about this program. And Coach Mack. Not everything I agree with how does things, but I still have this good feeling. We have to this, this and this to be successful. And I agree.

The impetus, or moving force, we can see as some of what Coach Mack is doing has been positive steps in the program. And the program is going in the right direction. The fostering with the high school coaches, youth and alumni–all good. The speed and quickness camps all good. The pounding of the pavement and going out there and knocking on the doors of the recruits and winning the hearts of the recruit’s parents, too-is all good.

Where we were a year ago, especially how our facilities took a hit in the national and local media is a hugely improved today as some of the athletic complex, offices, locker rooms, showers and especially the field have been upgraded. Without a doubt this area has greatly improved and is gradually becoming aesthetically pleasing than it was ever in the past. The new practice field with lights and all– should better prepare the team. This is all good.

Like anything else in life there are stumbling blocks. Yet the higher the tree, the sweeter the plum. And this what the team and community wants. And reaching the top tier and hoping to get there comes by going all out–on the field against the best teams. And likewise taking our best shots with the recruits–win or lose–no pain, no gain.

So come recruiting day there may be some unsettling news. And long faces with recruits flip flopping. But how I see it if we get the likes of Jordon, Chauncey, Benson for OL. And Chad, Marcus, Veni and Kimo on defense to name a few we’ll be in good shape. The 3 QBs coming in also is good news, especially after I read where the star Texas Tech wide receiver(M. Crabtree) and top ten pick in the upcoming draft was a QB in HS and only had one reception as a receiver that maybe one of these boys might be switching to a new position.

Everything will be good. The impetus of the fans, especially as how I see how their support for the program with them unconditionally never wavering is very good. In fact, a lot of them are Tsaikos. Collectively, I’d venture and say and think that someday the Warrior will have it down pat-where they do come off the blocks fasts and end fast. This is will be great.

I really don’t know anymore what’s wrong with the BBTeam. They fall apart much to easily and don’t seem to have any cohesiveness, especially when it counts. We can’t blame it on “new” players any longer.

The Coaches appear to be unable to make adjustments along the flow of the game and whenever things start going south, the players hang their heads and stand around. Is it just me or do others see it the same way?

The point guard certainly is not the only problem. They play good in spurts, just to fall to pieces in crunch time. Sorry, but in my book that’s on the coach. If we don’t see marked improvement by the last third of the season or at least next year, Nash is not the coach we had hoped for.

When I had that seat behind the bench for the Rainbow Classic, I closely watched how Coach Nash and the other coaches interacted with the players. That night, they convinced me that they are a quality coaching staff. All of them are constantly communicating with the players and themselves, talking things through and whatnot. My problem was the players didn’t always have their heads in it. And I think a lot of that has to do with maturity. In society nowadays, young kids get coddled so much, and they take longer to grow up. A lot of times, it takes things like deaths or sickness in the family, or having a child early, in order to get young people to grow up. In a way, you don’t want them growing up too early, cause they should still enjoy their youth, but at the same time, you expect them to gain some maturity every year. I’m really starting to see a lack of that in the current generation (of which I am obviously a member). To me, that’s one of the bigger obstacles that high school and collegiate teams face, and even professional teams with their young but immature superstars.

I gotta tell my friend that she gotta take that crop outta her hands, get rid of the stiletto mid thigh go-go boots and give the crowd some slack. not nice. but just goes to show Bolla brings out the best in you! 😛

and who writes checks at the grocery store? to make matters worse, the check writer writes “Times” on the check. didn’t make sense since the store was “Star”.

Hey, my Dad used to write checks at the store all the time. We found an old check register the other day when cleaning up (he saved EVERYTHING), it brought back lots of memories. Trips to Daiei, Safeway, Costco … we bonded over grocery shopping, cause he always needed my help. 😀

Well, I’m off to bed.

cayman shutter is working out very hard and will have an impact in the next few years. was out at Punahou working out today. he looks real good. arm strength has really improved. understands the offense!

Good luck to him.

and not only writing a check but waiting to take out the checkbook and start filling in the check info after the clerk has finished ringing up everything! 👿
…and this after waiting behind four other customers!

Speking of Clemens…

things not looking good for the Rocket

Federal prosecutors are tightening the screws like a compulsive carpenter. They’re putting together a perjury case against him, and they’re sending out invitations to the party, including one to his former personal trainer, Brian McNamee, who has said he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone

Good morning Tsai-kos!

Pretty chilly this morning in Kailua. Watching the first episode of CSI.

Following the progress of 3 co-workers in the HURT 100-mile race. 1 guy finished the 100K @ 3:15am and stopped. The other 2 guys are still on the course somewhere in their 4th loop. So far, 4 have finished all 100 miles and 17 have finished 100K. Good luck to all still out on the course. They have till 6pm to finish.

Sure wish we had a point guard like the other team. ours do not shoot the ball the the players show that they do not know where to be on the court as you see two players in the same area at a given time. And what is the system that runs down the clock so much that the bb players have to take a desperate shot at the last second. This is the first time I see our team players just can’t shoot the medium and long shorts with the required percentage to be in the game. Goinkg to be a long season.

Opinion of last night’s game:

I know the players are playing within a system which calls for ——— what?

All I could see was the outer perimeter “wheeling” or passing the ball amongst the guards and forwards, but very little if no penetration of the 2/3 zone and very little movement by the forwards/center to for inside movement and shots. Lot of standing around. Is this what Coach Nash wants? Is this the modified system from Riley Wallace?

Not very exciting to watch. All San Jose did was “constrict” their zone and UH could not pass the ball inside. Lots of wasting the clock.

Auwe, hope things turn around for the team.

Where is everybody?!!

*banging on the clubhouse door* WAKE UP!!!
