Friday
Whoops.
Sorry for the late post. Our Black Friday crew spent the wee hours in a heated battle with other nocturnal shoppers. If only every football defense could be aggressive as that old lady who bulled her way to grab a ticket for a discounted television. (But, really, did she need to throw that stiff arm?)
Combine that with the tryptophan from the late Tom, and that explains the mid-day post.
It will be a busy day. The Warriors have a walk-through session this afternoon, the basketball teams play tonight, there’s the state championship games at the stadium, and the men’s volleyball team closes fall training with an intrasquad scrimmage at Maryknoll School.

Yup I’m first
And yes also second!!!
I just made my own headline and JUST tried to post it, but oh well….
Here it is anyway:
I’ll make a new blog headline:
11/25/2011
“Cleats to Okoles”
Tulane on a nine game losing streak, Warriors PISSED off, potential for the smallest crowd of the season.. BALLZ TO THE WALL and CLEATS TO OKOLES.
As Al would say: “nuff sed.”
—–
Hey, how come we’ve never seen Gib Arnold and Calvin From Kona in the same place at the same time???? I wonder.
Happy Garfield The Cat Day!
ST – got a new tv? cell phone?
Fifth???
Thanks, Kevin.
Decided to close the comments to avoid further spam.
Morning!
Ooh, I’m admiring the new lockout feature lol, ST!
Hawaiianbod:
There is a new TV for the man cave.
Blog clock is off by 15 minutes, again… must be the tryptophan…
Have a good day of practice, Warriors!
Have a good day after Thanksgiving, Tsaik-os!
Top Ten Baybee!
Like Lil Jon sez, Yayuhhhh!
Guess not. Top Twenny?
Good noonish everone!
So, ST — Is the new TV diagonal measurement taller than you?
Fresno vs Hawaii repeat on Oceanic 12… a Black Friday showing..
ST – You’re welcome for the PBS! You know, I only make that for peeps I love lol. Btw, sorry again about the just one, that spat was totally unexpected :sad:. Next time I’ll be sure to set aside the additional so you can share with the fam.
Happy chuuk day!
ST- are you going to be able to occupy the man cave where the new TV resideth?
The summer time should be interesting for OcSports12. They SHOULD be showing many encores of the 2011-2012 sports seasons.
Just wish it was more organized or at least they’d list what games they are re-broadcasting.
The only thing is I wonder how long K-5 will continue to show VINTAGE UH games. They really should have done this in the past more often and not just NOW when they are no longer the home of UH sports.
Black Friday. I’m soooo tempted by an ad for the dual wireless karaoke mic system that Rasu Begasu had at Sato-Ya this past September. Tsaiko-Vegas 2011 seems so long ago.
Howdy, Howdy, Howdy! Gobble, gobble, gobble…
Man cave?
Wat dat? Like when you give in and do the yardwork? 😈 😆
Watched the Houston-Tulsa game. The Cougars were impressive on the road. If they win the Conf. USA title game over S. Miss, they will be 13-0 and I think they would be deserving of a BCS bowl game. Boise St. who should finish 11-1 is also deserving of a BCS bowl game.
I still think the NCAA should have a playoff.
The FCS has 20 teams in the playoffs and tomorrow is the first round with 4 games (8 teams). Next week, the 2nd round on Dec. 3 there are 8 games (16 teams), and on some the following weeks. This is a true championship which is contested in all other sports, except NCAA Division I (FBS) football. If there is a playoff there would be enough money from TV revenue to benefit all 120 Divsion I schools, including Hawaii. Somehow, people have got to come to their senses.
Speaking of which, thinking about all the stuff I was supposo get done today. 👿
Shhhh…Mrs. d1shima is taking a nap so I can finish the LSU-Arkansas game.
heheheh
Ummm…
UH RAINBOWTIQUE WARD BUY ONE REGULAR PRICED ITEM GET THE NEXT ONE HALF OFF.
I know where I’m taking my okole to after work!!!
Thanks, 808.
Liz and Pomai promise not to argue in front of the kids.
Is Kevin saying that he and his okole are separate entities?
ST – sweeeeet!!!!!
ST,
It has a mind of it’s own. Like when I am out and about it decides it wants to sit on a toilet during awkward times.
My plan of action is to buy a H sticker at regular price and see if I can get some Oakleys at HALF off. 😆 😆 😆
Time to test to see if Rainbowtique employees read the blog as well.
Derek,
D2 and D3 moving to Second Round tomorrow.
Not a fan of the “short” brackets (i.e.-20 teams in FCS; 24 in D2) which give a big advantage to the higher seeds who draw a bye. Prefer the full bracket (32 teams) like in D3. Despite the fact that a top seed will usually draw an AQ, at least they still have to go thru all the game prep and put it at risk like everyone else.

Noe reads the blog
My nephew-in-law has a man cave in his basement. The whole basement with wet bar, microwave, and half bath. Computer setup, sound system, 50″+flat screen TV, etc.
I was envious. Niece says she seldom goes down there because it’s too messy…
…. taking notes, ST? 🙂
*yawn*
Lunch followed by a long nap. What do I want to do now . . .
Well, the Bayou Bengals may have just ended it already
Yep. Over.
Man cave… hmmm… my whole house is MY CAVE!
Howzit Tsaikos!!
Happy Aloha Friday.
GO WARRIORS!
GO WAHINE!
I am not going anywhere near a shopping mall this weekend. My sis, on the other hand, works for a large department store. She has the 4am-4pm shift today, starting at the Pearlridge store and ending at the Ala Moana store. 🙄
Waaaaay OFF topic. Was Doing some research on Aunty Genoa Keawe and ran across this entry from the Moke Young Family
I played PAL basketball with Keith Ah Yuen, the Grandson of Auntie Genoa and now that I look back, he had a very similar way about him that resembles one of Hawaii’s Finest Role Models.
That’s our own Pride!!!
that’s one BIG role model everyone can follow
Hey I nevah argued wit anybody, nevah have chance……but I will forever hold my tounge.
Just picked up the Board of Regents meeting agenda:
9 am
Wednesday, November 30, 2011
John A. Burns School of Medicine – MEB 314
651 Ilalo Street – Kaka`ako Makai
Agenda item VI: Report on Gifts, Grants & Contracts
(NOTE – September much improved over the first two months of this fiscal year)
From September 1 through September 30, 2011 – $126,741,483
Total# of GG&C 282
From September 1 through September 30, 2010 – #128,048,228
Total# of GG&C 270
OFFICIAL 2010-2011 YEAR-TO-DATE: $251.543,333
UNOFFICIAL 2011-2013 YEAR TO DATE: $203,224,836
There’s definitely a pick-up in these outside monies when compared to earlier months both last and this current fiscal year.
Agenda Item VII – 5: Acceptance of University of HJawai`i at Manoa Intercollegiate Athletics Financial Statements and Related Reports for the Year Ended June 30, 2011
NOTE – Agenda Item III is the Public Comment Period. I hope to be there in time to hear the comments since I’ve been told that there is a nascent but growing move by undergraduate students to go after the football program. Technically speaking, the issue is not on the Agenda, but since the Department of Athletics $$$$ report inludes salaries & related expenses, these comments may be allowed.
I remember about ten years ago at a friend’s birthday party during Kuhio Day in some place on Kalakaua. I saw Aunty playing live and it was more than a chicken skin moment for me. My parents used to listen to her recordings when I was younger. Brought tears to my eyes as she was a performing.
Pride was/is lucky to be around a icon on Hawaiian music.
For all you Hawaiian in NYC

RE: #36
Liz — I never been to your place, but you did cross my mind when I was writing about nephew-in-law…probably because of the 27″ iMac he had and 3 cats (versus your two) which I didn’t mention. 🙂
UH is having a Black Friday sale on tickets, 30% off today only. I think I saw the Wahine VB Regional games listed. Maybe I can get that price at the ticket window today.
Shoot, it’s almost time for the first WBB game of the Waikiki Beach Marriott Showdown tourney at 3 pm. Women play CAL at 5pm and then the Men play at 7:30 pm.
GO BASKETBOWS (Wahine & Kane)!!!
GO WARRIORS!!!
duffer — then it shouldn’t be surprise that pride. is a very good singer too… 🙂
One of the top 10 Tsai-ko karaoke Tsingers….
I wonder if I can renew my men’s volleyball tickets and get the 30% discount??!!?? hahahaha
Afternoon everyone. going be a great weekend!!!!!!
Oya go MARAUDERS!!!!!!!!!
ai-yah

USU 35 UH 31
FSU 24 UH 21
how you figgah?
still get chance though,
GO WARRIORS!
@Couch Potato
Common thread. In recent years we have put major lickins on these teams. Whether we went to their house or they came to ours, they had major issues to settle. That’s why sometimes good to play big but walk humble. “What goes around, comes around” comes to mind. Time to show up and focus on one opponent, Tulane. Go Warriors!
# 52 – no can figgah
but, yeah still get chance
GO Warriors.
yep,
GO WARRIORS!
and here’s hoping the NCAA vb committee thinks harder and give the Wahine a good seed.
I just saw the words: Wahine… harder… and give.
Mind went blank for a sec.
Kevin, you forgot “seed”.
i plan to participate in black friday next year. any recommendations of protective gear to wear?
CP,
full face shield for starters 😈
CP . . .
Cup.
Geez, Hawai’i Walmart incident made the national news.
Kind of shame.
no need be shame, it’s just competition.
would be hilarious if i show up in line next year with full-on riot gear.
Are these WalMart shoppers on ALCOHOL??????????
I thought alcohol made people act this way??? Oh wait… PERSONALITY ISSUES MAKE PEOPLE ACT THIS WAY.
These reports of shopping incidents are yielding FAR FAR FAR FAR more dangerous behavior than when I was at a concert last weekend and there were TONS of people participating in the consumption of MANY alcoholic beverages.
Who would have thought??? Crazy middle aged women have the same potential for disruptive behavior as drunk middle aged males with deep rooted issues because they got cut from their high school football team???????????
12/21/2012.. WHAT I HAVE I BEEN SAYING?????????
We’re all gonna eat each other. we’re only gonna die from our own arrogance so we might as well have some fun!!!
good thing neva have ndamukong suh standing in line at walmart.
#38…news travels slow to maui don’t it. they must surely miss the ferry.
stretch…you better off getting 70% discount on the football season tickets.
People lose their balance all the time.
Not sure if attempting to stomp someone is a usual result tho.
i was curious to understand the logic behind the thinking…would retaining current hc effect one’s decision to purchase season tickets next year?
season ticket holders are typically lifelong purchasers and supporters.
i’d be more concerned about the occasional ticket buyer/attendee as they make up 60-70% of a sold out aloha stadium.
I have gone through three computer in the last week so if I have missed your pix sorry.

suh should be disqualified from playing nfl football.
he shows no respect for the game.
let him go work for the wwe.
I don’t care what Suh says. He IS a dirty player. And he should get suspended for stomping on a player on Thanksgiving Day. Thanks a lot, Suh!!!!!! How do you do?????
al,
you bring up a good point. i am going to renew regardless of who coaches next year or in 2013. UHAD has people like me and my entire tailgating group by the walnuts…we don’t see cancelling seats our family has held for decades as an option over a coach.
its the people who come to games occasionally that i would want to attract and have them consider being season ticket holders.
Ever heard of a company taking four weeks to fix a car?
I’d love to see the “labor” tally.
iwonderwhytheyhateme
we’ve been going to football games for 40 years.
I think there’s been a few coaching change over this time period.
Doesn’t matter who the coach is, we support the team.
Al,
Unwritten code in pro-wrestling. You have the ability to hurt your opponent aka partner, but you just don’t do it.
Suh would be better off in MMA.
Pomai:
UH – 20
Green Waves – 23
SR:
You need to get yourself a set of reclining theater chairs, with cup holders….comes in handy when your HDTV is watching you sleep…..
I ain’t giving up my seats, I like em and I sure as hell won’t start over from scratch because I’ve HAD IT with a certain someone. Won’t let that person get the last laugh to the bank for sure.
But I believe the answer is YES. It will have an effect.
Another lingering thought in the back of some people’s minds is that they also might really start to lose any remaining confidence they may have with UH administration and Jim Donovan if we lose out and don’t make a bowl game or make a bowl game and lose again and yet the current HC is retained.
Pomai ~ i’m back to my usual winning score.
UH ~ 56
Tulane ~ 14
Go get ’em Warriors!
I agree with al, I renew my Hawaii Bowl tickets every year despite the pre-season predictions that we might end up undefeated and go to a BCS bowl.
#69 – as a matter of fact I will be buying season tickets for the first time, I have always bought each game one at a time(don’t ask me why) but next year will be season ticket time.
@ al, #66
It’s the basketball part I didn’t know! 🙂
GOOD AFTERNOON!
Did my Black Friday shopping for my wife – kinda dangerous using a credit card on Amazon!
That Colorado game vs. Utah – who would have thought?
POMAI:
UH -28
Tulane – 7
Suh should take up river dancing.
My Sis-in-law made Turkey Chuuk for lunch today. I showed my appreciation by doing my David Graves impersonation.
Right now I feel like there might be more I need to get off my chest…
Get well soon, Kekoa!
Before tomorrow!!!
Coming with kulolo…
Wahine down 19-12 in set 1.
Al: The truth is that if you WIN they’ll come…However people in Hawaii are spoiled and CHEAP. They want FIRST CLASS but not willing to pay for it. What people forget sometimes is that the Warriors are the only game left in town aside from High School sports. We lost the Islanders, Hawaiians, Leis, etc. over the lack of support…
Being a long time season ticket holder, the Warriorsnis one of my MUST expendenditures for each year as it provides me ample entertainment during the Fall & Spring. The worse times were the Von Appen years…What we’re experiencing pales in comparison to watching the team during the Von Appen years.
CSF wins first set 25-14.
I still back Mack…I’m buying my season tickets supporting the Warriors & Not trying to undermine them.
Na Wahine trailing in the first half 17-10 with 11:40 to go
Na Wahine trailing by 1. 9:18 to play in the first half
Wahine VB wins second set 25-16. Match tied one set apiece.
So in other words, I am buying it because I enjoy Hawaii football and enjoy the program.
The program as a whole is BIGGER than any one player, team, coach, W-L record.
Don’t want to be a called a bandwagon jumping scallywag.
GO WAHINE!!!
Jackson, Kuehu, and Arbuckle need to block out better on the defensive boards
Can we see this online? Or on a non-Oceanic channel?
37-26 Cal at the half
The VB game is on ESPN3 if you get it.
hunnid?
2nd century. At last!
Wahine VB win third set 25-17. Lead 2 sets to 1.
Thanks, Matt!
Cal running away in the second half 52-30, 14:11 to play
Duffer #42
Yeah, i seem to remember Aunty Genoa performing with Hula Joe and the Hut Jumpers [Lopaka and Genai fronting] back in 2000. What a joy!
matt..are you watching a re-run?
duffer…pride. was a starting forward for the kamehameha warriors.
@43,
Thanks for the link but are all those events that have past? Any future events?
Pomai,
45 – 13 WarriorNY
Wahine VB wins the match 3 games to 1. Game 4 goes to Wahine 25-9.
Way to go Wahine.
CHee Hoo! Wahine Win!!!
Cal State Fullerton had a record-breaking crowd when all the Wahine fans showed up… over 1000 people!
We are so spoiled…
Most of the fans at Fullerton were in green and white.
I’m a full Mack backer… But sometimes I wish he’ll says something like this…
“I just want you to know something,” Les Miles said in his postgame news conference. “There will be no way that this football team comes to Atlanta and not play their best. Just so you know.”
Hawaii truely has supporters throught the west coast and in the USA.
Time to watch Iron Man.

Don’t blame the fans. Blame Hawaii itself. There are just too many other things to do than go to the UH game during a struggling season. It’s a whole new generation of fans, but one thing still certainly applies:
Winning cures all.

in case anyone’s intested, and haven’t heard ….
No. 1 seed Kahuku defeated second-seeded Punahou 30-24 on Friday night to win the First Hawaiian Bank/HHSAA Division I State Football Championship at Aloha Stadium.
Big congratulations to Red Raiders and Raiders for D1 and D11 championships. Guess you can’t always buy championships with scholarships.
double red raider victory.
it was iolani who donated old uniforms to the newly formed and under financed kahuku high school football program. thus, the kahuku team was dubbed the red raiders and their school colors became red and black.
Was at the stadium tonight and witnessed a few things I haven’t seen happen there in a LONG time…
– 50yd field goals the the Punahou kicker. I know it was only warm up and with a tee, but still very impressive.
– Students in the stands jumping around and cheering on the team
– Timeouts being called within 5 seconds of when it supposed to be called.
Ugh. Boot commercials?
See somma you manana.
GO WARRIORS!
Mahalo for your aloha and support. Makes life worth living a little bit more/longer.
Congrats to the basketBows, volleyBows, Iolani and Kahuku.
stretch…are you implying something?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Cry for the people…cry for the land that was taken away…”
WarriorNY ~ Eddie understood what Iz was saying, and honored him by learning and singing the song. Very chicken skin moment. Mahalo from the Ceded lands, -Kekoa.
Game Day! Time to Tussle with Tulane!
CONGRATS TO KAHUKU!!!!
BOOTS TO ASSES!!!
Stretch is just pointing out facts….
Things we haven’t seen on Saturdays at Aloha Stadium in a while or some on consistent basis.
