Two free sideline tickets for tomorrow's football game!
Courtesy of Mark Platte, we are in possession of four tickets to tomorrow’s UH football game.
Two are going to Al, who won the volleyball contest but cannot attend the matches.
The other two are going to post No. 400.
And, by the way, these sideline tickets are in the Mauka Orange, fifth row.
* * *
One of Inoke Funaki’s early fans is tomorrow’s opposing quarterback, Weber State’s Cameron Higgins.
“I looked up to Inoke when he was in high school at Kahuku,” Hawai‘i-raised Higgins said before yesterday’s practice at Aloha Stadium. “I idolized that guy. There are some good memories. I was in intermediate (school) when he was playing on this field. I always watched his games.”
Funaki, 25, is a fourth-year junior. He went on a two-year church mission before enrolling at UH in 2005.
* * *
OK, the desk is getting cluttered, so today, I’m giving away:
* Four tickets to tonight’s volleyball match (lower level, sixth row, right behind the opposing team’s bench).
• Program from the Redskins-Jets Aug. 16 preseason game.
• Program from UH-Florida game (autographed by Greg McMackin). OK, we know how the game turned out. But it was the debut of the McMackin Era.
Contest rules will be in the Comments section.

Happy birthday to Stretch, the hardest-working man in engineering. I’m sure the Boise State coaches are wishing him the best.
I know we always see Stretch through amber-colored glasses.
Happy Birthday
Garett.
Happy B-Day Stretch.
Go Warriors!
Happiest of birthdays to you, Stretch!
You are one more year wiser! lol
bbl, esme & out..!
Stretch – I’ll be celebrating your b-day 2nite w/ my tsaiko shot glass….oh heck, why wait until tonight….
I sent out the mass email. Hopefully many of you have received it by now. If not, email me at the name above at yahoo.com.
GO WARRIORS!!
3rd ! & 4th?!?
Very informative e-mail, Richie.
Wow, uhfan808 is off on her count.
Happy Birthday Stretch!
Happy B-Day Stretch….geez, you’re like what? 30 now….mwahahahahaha
Okay gang, just got word from Ige’s in Pearl City about the TV Gate for the next away game which will be broadcast at 10:00 a.m. So, for all you local fans who are not able to join Birthday Boy Stretch and his merry band on the road to Corvalis, here are the details:
UH vs. OSU
Saturday, September 13, 2008
10:00 a.m.
Ige’s Restaurant and 19th Puka
98-761 Oihana Pl
Aiea, HI 96701
(808) 486-3500
They will open at 9:30 a.m. I will get there a little earlier because they do not take reservations no matter how big your party is. I would appreciate it if a couple people could get there early as well so we can save a big enough area for all who are attending.
According to Ige’s, they will serve some breakfast stuff, but will have mostly lunch and pupus. It is also being sponsored by Bud Light so I am assuming Bud Light girls will be there and they may have some specials (KK, that’s right up your alley). There will also be a contest for the Ultimate Warrior Fan. Per Ige’s, “Three lucky winners will receive tickets for the 2009 UH vs. UNLV game. The theme is the Ultimate Warrior Fan so come dressed to impress and unleash your inner Ultimate Warrior.” Not sure what that’s all about but I’ll put it out there.
Anyway, if you plan on coming to the event, please RSVP me at jgo8464822@aol.com so that we can save enough seats. People are always welcomed to just stop by but it would be good if we had a rough estimate of the number attending so that enough room can be made.
Thanks.
UHFan….??? Who is that??? Haven’t seen her on this blog for such a long time….MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
Bud Light … the breakfast of champions.
Rich…got your e-mail. Will be talking to Kekoa tomorrow.
ST…How did you know?? That’s something KK would say…although I think his would be Bud Select….
Happy Birthday Stretch!
LOL, when I saw Pride’s post I had to stop and think for a second…I actually wondered if it was my birthday!
happy birthday mr. stretch!
i hope you have a wonderful celebration and your present shall be a great tailgate with your tsaikos, your family and regulars in the parking lot and of course a warrior victory.
Article about a recruit that UH is apparently interested in.
Article about Punahou playing a game on the mainland includes mentions of a number of UH recruits.
Colt has been upgraded in Madden 2009.
Garret…yeah. Madden himself sounded pretty taken with Colt.
Article about a Lanai Pop Warner team mentions a former UH player.
James,
I think that a LOT of NFL “experts” are patting themselves on the back right now for “discovering” that Colt is actually a good player.
Happy berfday, Stretch!!!
Howzit everybody,
Stretch happy birthday my friend and many more.
Looking forward to tommorrow and seeing braddah Inoke light up the scoreboard with the new and improved starting line up. Also going be long day. J(J) and A-joe see you guy tommorrow.
Howzit Kama! How you been? I see you tomorrow. BTW, where da heo is Wreck these days?
So, I have something in common with Higgins.
Cool I had no idea the madden 09 updates player ratings. How often do they update?
DPK…so what about the medical procedure A-joe was working on?? Did it work?? MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Happy Birthday Stretch! Good morning to all you Tsaikos
You guys and yer fantasies… Tsk tsk tsk. Have you been thinkin’ about that all night, Jaymie?
Yeah, wea da heck is dat Wreck? My cuz was getting antsy yestaday but no worries, Koakane took care.
Hauoli Lahanau, Stretch!!!
HI HO!
Hey James! You made me hungry when you talked about the Ige’s!
Nah, DPK. Just read about it early this morning. I was crying after.
Good morning Tsai-kos!
Happy Birthday Stretch!
Go Inoke! Go Cameron!
Go Warriors! Go Wildcats!
Go Na Ali’i! (v. Kalaheo tonight)
TChahng is sitting high above Wai Momi, on Halawa Heights and enjoying this “business trip” home. C U bruddahs and titas at the Tsai-ko Gate!
Ogre…yeah, Ige’s has some good food/pupus. There shoyu pork is pretty good. But we’ll be there for the game and comarderie…than food. Well, maybe drink…and than food. Well, maybe food before drink….but food will definitely be in there.
Here’s a b-day gift idea for someone on this blog with the initials ST
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/clt/828752471.html
Happy Birthday to Stretch! I hope you have lots to drink.
jojo…what do you mean? Stretch only drinks on days that end in “y”
oh, uh, I mean I hope he gets a lot of drinks, and they better be real, none of those frou-frou, mostly-watered-down-look-alike shots
dpk…. okay, so you and cameron higgins both like zip pacs.
Yeah, I know it’s been slow lately. So let’s say post No. 100 gets the Florida guide and No. 150 gets the Redskins-Jets program. The volleyball tickets go to the 10th person to write a poem about Stretch.
And the winner of the guess-the-score contest gets a pair of volleyball tickets to the Sept. 11 and Sept. 12 matches.
birthday boy…..now i get it. i was in maui yesterday and i happened to be on the east coast and some “folks” were trying to persuade me in bringing back the big boy next trip. said they had birthday suits for you.
Rich2176 – you think with this ST can build a seperate wing at his palatial palace?
By the way, many of us got the mass thank-you email from Bulla.
But what we didn’t get was Zip-Pac.
45
STRETCH: Happy birthday!!!
ST
i’d love to get you a zip pac, just let me know when. and be careful on this blog, others might want to put some zip in your pac…..homey, james, dpk…watch out, i am on to you guys.
bulla….no need 45 zip pacs tomw. just bring about twenty. and i’ll have a surf pac if you don’t mind.
ST….got time to swing by tomw???
Kidding, Bulla.
But, folks, Bulla and Mrs. Jaegermeister were awesome yesterday.
Food was packed.
(Non-alcoholic) drinks were on ice.
It was very organized.
As a team mom, Bulla is pretty amazing.
Al:
Might be able to swing by. Have to check with the wife.
Just bought the family five sideline tickets in the yellow nose-bleeds.
There once was a guy named Stretch.
Many female winks he would fetch.
He was tall as the trees.
Made women weak in the knees.
Because to them he seemed quite a catch.
MWAHAHAHHAAHAHAHA
Stretch … fetch … catch?
I guess there aren’t too many words that rhyme with Stretch.
bulla…I don’t zip anybody’s pac unless there is some junk in da trunk….MWAHAHAHAHAHA
Just kidding….although not so sure about DPK….
ST…I had other ones…but this was the cleanest one suitable for this family blog….LMAO
Thanks to a lifestyle change, I have “transcended” above lusting after Zip Pacs.
Now if I could just get myself to believe that.
What time is errybody going to be at the T-Gate tomorrow?
Stretch is a guy with lots of class
Do a shot of CR, he’ll give you a Tsai-ko shotglass
But by far, his favorite place is on the green grass
Using his clubs to kick some…well you know the rest!
Happy Birthday Stretch
Hi Frank I know that you will be checking in!
Okay ST, here is a Stretch haiku.
“Body of a god.
Too bad that god is Buddha.
We call him da Stretch.”
Mwahahahaha. Just kidding Stretch. Hope you have a very happy B-day and hope g-nalo and sleaze take good care of you tonight….
Have fun at the T-Gate everyone! We can’t be there, because joje has lots of training to do.
tall and handsome so he thinks
cold bud lights is what he drinks.
there is no more avid warrior fan
than stretch and the rest of his motley gang.
with a heart as big as the vast pacific ocean
his generosity is beyond comprehension.
you would think that he is as old as me
but this young man is barely thirty three.
happy birthday stretch with the 2 “t’s”
stay out of trouble or i will report you to stretchette with th four “t’s”
Garret…so true about Colt. I have a couple of friends in DC who had been talking up Colt prior to his arrival at Redskins camp. Needless to say, their friends are now on board and have become big time Colt fans….
This one is for Koakane:
“Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
There’s one thing I know.
Stretch isn’t Koa-Mahu.”
only six more poems to go.
Although I have not met you Stretch
These posts made my mind etch a sketch
Of a tall burly dude
Never surly or rude
A man who made many a friend
That are true to the end
Who wear green and black clothes
From their heads to their toes
And everyone knows
As the famous Tsaikos
OK, five to go.
hahahahaa.
(j)j……#60…too funny. hahaha. i resemble that too.
st…i think that (j)j meant “ketch” …..up.
OK, four to go. I can’t keep up.
Not sure if this was posted yet. Some news about the resurfacing of Cooke/Ching Field at UH. Looks like they will be aggressively trying to finish the project asap.
http://www.hawaii.edu/cgi-bin/uhnews?20080905100246
We all know that Stretch is so nice.
He drinks all his Bud Lights with ice.
He works quite a lot.
Watching practice when it’s hot.
And doing that for a very low price.
muse is stretch???
there could never be
a stretch as beautiful as he.
if you think i am serious, me?
then humpty dumpty never fell off a tree.
happy birthday stretch.
where are you and koakane gonna celebrate tonight? or is that reserved for tomorrow’s tailgate?
You guys are killing me…..
Thanks a lot for the birthday wishes and poems (I think). Need to get back to work figuring out how to hold up the antennae for the tailgate tomorrow.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY STRETCH!
Ralph – what more do you need from a browser than an address bar and a search engine? Chrome provides both with just the address bar. Also, the tabs are pretty nifty. I had no problems transferring bookmarks since there was a transfer option for Mozilla Firefox. In addition, the Internet properties option mirrors IE for those that are familiar with that browser. As with beta and new versions of browsers there’s always going to be initial problems but that can be fixed. Even Firefox 3.0 had problems when they were rolled out.
I will be at the t-gate around 12-ish. Gotta do the beach thing in the morning.
Stretch you’re my man.
A real Warriors Fan.
You brought a Spud to the game.
Which has lent you some fame.
All for one and one for all.
C’mon ST, I want to see some Volleyball.
MWAHAHAHAA
No celebrating tonight. No tailgating tomorrow. We can celebrate Sunday….. ST’s bday.
they say that roses are red and violets are blue
there will never be someone more handsome than you.
when he walks by all the girls go “ooooh”
i am sorry stretch this is not about you
Anyone know if getting tickets to the OSU game will be hard? Are there fans die hard and is every game a sellout. Made some last minute plans to attend the game.
they say that roses are red and violets are blue
there will never be someone more handsome than you.
when he walks by all the girls go “ooooh”
i am sorry stretch this is not about you
stretch,
oh yeah, gotta be semi-conscious for the game. i’m saving my voice for tomorrow too. hope i can shake this cold.
Happy Birthday Stretch
didn’t know we had so many september b-days
jojo – no lie, joje scared fo’ challenge me!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
To Pono, most large universities have a website that you can go to where season ticket holders can sell individual tickets for games. So try OSU’s website for extra tickets.
Stretch, Stretch, the perfect blog name that describes y,
You’re thoughtful, funny, insightful, and generous,
What would we do without you, “The Instaga” ???
Tsaiko-life would just not be the same!
st….five tickets? so that means you sprung for the “son-in-law”?
Hey Hawaii ex-pats who would love to receive local UH sports broadcasts on their home TV sets… has anyone subscribed to the IPTV setup being advertised (see link)? Will you please post your impression if there’s anyone currently subscribing to this service. There are probably many of us outside the state who would be interested, if this works well. Waiting to find out…
Whoops–
Stretch, Stretch, the perfect name that describes YA,
Hey, I believe Al is our winner. He gets the four tickets. Unless he wants to give two to the Poetry Man, James.
Anyway, let me know how to get them to you.
I’m in the office now. You can call me at 525-8051.
uhfan808….is that a poem? there’s no rhyme and reason. what?
and you say you went to mhs????
did you have that english lit teacher that spent more time in her closet, too?
Al, I indeed sprung for the “son-in-law.”
My birthday is on Sept. 31.
Oops, link didn’t get in.
http://www.tvfromhawaii.com/?gclid=CNKqqvvGxZUCFQRfagodYGoIjA
Callwillnol,
Thanks for the info.
al- lol. Not trying to win. lol.
Homey – nice try
Close to #100
100
What? Another call for a BIO lunchdate!!! 2 days in a row! WOOT WOOT!
afternoon all go warriors
Happy birthday Stretch! Woulda written you a poem, but the only words I could think of to rhyme with Strech were “wretch” and “kvetch.” Heh.
Hey I just want to win something. Please
any good local HS action 2nite …
Hiflyer – made you look! Where do the Warriors stay at tonight?
>>Al, I indeed sprung for the “son-in-law.”
Which one?
Hey, Pono wins the Florida program.
Call me at 525-8051.
PONO,
Stretch has been coordinating the Oregon State plans for the Tsaikos and I think that he has 5 available tickets right now. At least they were available as of last night. Sitting in the UH section is a better option than buying a ticket in the middle of a bunch of OSU fans!
Looks like the tekkies haven’t figured out how to speed up the blog.
GO WARRIORS!
Happy birthday, Stretch! Or in Japanese… Otanjoobi omedetoo gozaimasu! And in Korean… Saengil chukkahamnida! Um, if you eat Korean food, don’t forget the seaweed soup (see lesson on today’s blog entry). Anyway, have an awesome day!
Hey, we’ve got two more tickets for tonight, courtesy of UHfan808’s friend. Whoever calls me first at 525-8051 gets them.
Homey – No kidding with a week off with no one blogging you would think they could have worked on it, even the clock is fast.
poetry man…..call me or email me.
you too birthday boy, uhfan, and midori (did you get back yet?)
da princess’ classmate,
QB Cody Von Appen and Kalaheo will play at Aiea tonight. Kick-off at 1930hrs.
Ta-dum … ta-dum …. no call yet.
PONO — last I heard, Stretch might have some OSU game tickets. email him at… stretch6592 (at) yahoo dot com …if he does not post soon.
Also, latest info and activities of the Tsai-kos at the Oregon and other away games at:
http://home.hawaii.rr.com/smurashi/tsai-kos/away08.html
I would call ST, but I gots to get ready for tomorrow!
I would call, but I have to figure out if I can find a way to go to the OSU game…
Yeah Ronnie, would be even harder to figure out how to get here in time for the game!
Stretch,
if homey comes to the TG tomorrow, we can duct tape to his back…although the antennae would be longer, of course, he would supply a solid base for the antennae……just a thought.
We get chance for a proze because everybody is getting lunch. I already got mine.
proze = prize
Still stuck on the poetry thing.
Rob – 😆
BUMMER! I have to go pick up my son from school… It’s times like this that I wish I had an i-Touch!
I wish I had an iphone!
afternoon gang!
J-Dog – thanks for the good news on #70, bighilo will be very happy
(J)J – so KK = champion?
Ronnie you didn’t send me Eddie’s phone number.
Stretch is the WB version of Home Improvement’s “Wilson”?
dpk,
Mrs. d1島 and I should be there around noon tomorrow.
Hiya!
Lunchowa at last!
Amazing to see just how much San Diego State is losing from Athletics. They projected a huge loss *before* their team lost to Cal Poly–now even less people will attend their games and they will have even less revenue.
Forget about having UH schedule SDSU in the future, as I had been hoping. The real question will be if SDSU can afford to keep having a football team, especially if Qualcomm Stadium goes away and the Chargers leave town. If that happens, the MWC will be looking for another member…and BSU has been asking to join them.
From my calculations, SDSU has an Athletic Budget of $30 mil, but OVER HALF of that ($15.7) mil comes from the school! In other words, the school gives them $15.7 mil and athletics makes the other $14.3 mil from ticket sales, MWC TV deal, etc. I cannot imagine how nice UH’s facilities would be if they got $15.7 mil per year from the University!
I heard the OSU game is soldout, which could be a problem since The Tizer is bringing up 14 advertisers.
Speaking of the Tsaiko-gate, it is amazing to see what Central Florida fans were bringing to the tailgate as pets…
happy birthday stretch…..to bad you can’t make it to the tailgate, is saturday your boss’s daughter’s wedding-hopefully it’s in the a.m.
Good afternoon Tsai-kos!
Happy Birthday to da fellow lab rat/guinea pig Stretch!
Is it Saturday yet?
Dang, wrong weekend for vb. Gotta supervise the kid. She *has* to finish her online course this weekend (plus homework) cuz I refuse to pay another $200 for a 1 month extension. She’s been grounded till she finishes.
Wahine looked good most of the match last night and better than last weekend. Is tonight’s match on PPV or regular tv? Will also be watching US Open if they don’t get rained out.
OK back to work and lurking and work and lurking. Have a good weekend! Go Warriors! Go Wahine!
what up yo
Rob – oops! I just sent you an email.
So, I called the UH ticket office to confirm that they got my order for Boise St tickets. The person I talked to found my fax and told me they were in the process of fulfilling the orders. Today I noticed they billed my card. Yee Haw!
al- Excuse #197, I meant:
lol. Just playing and not trying to win; will be trying to give away tickets. lol
Let’s go Warriors!!!
From a long-time lurker and long-time fan…
TChahng- How’s it feel to be back???
Pono – email me at stretch6592 at yahoo. There are a few Tsaikos who have extra tickets for the game. I will give you their contact info.
What’s the prize again?
808flowmaster- welcome! Are you here in the islands?

OH YEAH!!

Here’s my entry for ST’s b-day poem:
Here’s to our dear head Tsaiko,
Here’s to our Stephen Tsai.
Here’s to our moderator,
Who’ll let us post all night!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Here’s to old Warriors blogging,
Here’s to new Warriors too.
Here’s to the Warrior Beat’s leader,
Stephen: Happy birthday to you!
Sorry- but I couldn’t resist going for a Colt NFL Game memoir. I’ll keep it good. Promise!
Now I gotta HIHO!~
Nice one Izzy! Even had the connection to University of Hawaii sports.
I have 2 OSU tickets in UH section if anyone is still looking for tickets. kymry.perez at hawaiiantel.net
Congrats Liz…and yes I’m on the island…born and raised. Can’t wait for tomorrow!
hi kymry!
808flowmaster- hope you are coming to the T-Gate at Richardson!
al-san…if VB tickets are for tonight…no can do but thanks for the offer. I’ll try calling you later. Actually in a meeting right now
izzy…good one. Did you get to meet wafan yet??? I think he lives in WA too!!! MWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Liz – I would, but my friends and I have a long-running t-gate tradition in the lower Halawa lot. We’re in when the gates first open at 1:30p.
Hi, Tsaikos and Tsai-Meister,
Happy Birthday Stretch, be carefull of stray Tsaikos in the area when you parteeee, have a good one.
Tomorrow is the day when the Warriors come together as a team and start to click on all cylinders.
I’ll be watching it on ESPN gameplan, it is still scheduled there, isn’t it? I haven’t checked yet.
OK, we’re now giving away football tickets. See above.
Don’t forget that September 12th is when the Wahine take on Charlie Wade’s Pacific Tigers! It’s like a homecoming for Charlie and three players on his team from Hawaii.
It’s ST’s birthday too?
(J)J – Almost 100% sure I’ll be at Ige’s for the OSU game but may be walking in a little late…I hope their HDTV’s actually display the game in 1080i.
Hi Rob25, Ronnie, UHfan808, jmxxxx, XLiz, and any other Tsaikette I missed.
I was watching the Wahine VB game last night and noticed that Minnesota has a huge player! That’s all I’m saying.
Bulla – You should know that I definitely don’t have a solid base. Antennae may be laying in the ground after a few cold ones.
400!
homey,
j/k bro, at least no one mentioned shaka zulu and impaling you, that would be uncalled for.
whew, tick tock, the clock is ticking…….
Rumor has it that ST completes another orbit around the sun on Sunday.
Hi xs- yup- I saw her too… power to da titas, ya?
HIHO for shua now.
click
Anybody know the color scheme for the new home jerseys as far as pants, jersey, helmet go?
where’s the row 5 tickets at? maybe they’re behind us.
Homey, are you a little jealous? 😆
EH Stretch,
I have no poem or haiku, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Remind to buy you a drink on the darkside or nickelhana or whatever they call it!
🙂
808flowmaster – You guys start t-gating late! 😆 If can, then run across Kamehameha hwy and visit. BTW, why does flowmasters have those bafflers in them? Doesn’t that cause air restrictions and turbulence within the muffler preventing a true free air flowing system?
I know these are good seats. Editors sit in them.
Well, they’re not as good as my seat in the press box. I’m right on the 50. Then again, I have lousy deadlines, and we have to share a bathroom with one urinal.
We are back!!!
ST – It’s not like you sit on the urinal.
homey — technically the tailgating start a couple hours earlier deep in the heart of Waipahu…but will trot over if i get a break from the grill. And i have no idea on the flowmaster for engines. i get my name from a different kind of flowmaster.
wow, I posted a comment and it didn’t show up.
WOW!
What just happened?
Hello?
400
Yikes (taking off lifejacket) who crashed the blog server???
oh yeah…
I forgot…
back to work
I can’t wait for the game tomorrow. What shirt am I going to wear???
test… ✓
wierd- my post didn’t show up until after a refresh…
haha- ewagirl808… 😆
808flowmaster – the only other flowmaster I know of is the one for the toilet. Waipahu eh, are you a Marauder?
hmmm…
comments getting lost now…
Afternoon Tsaikos,
Stopping by to say hello & to help us get closer to post #400!
Loved all the poems for Stretch! You guys are hilarious!
GO WARRIORS!
Comment moderation is enabled? Big Brother spying on us?
Yikes- some batching going on.
But the refresh is FAST NOW! ❗
OK, ST coulda done without the urinal observation!
400!? Did anyone win them yet? Why wait until then. I went to school with your daughter and am her friend. I think that deserves 2 sideline football tickets!
What happened to my post?
“Comment moderation is enabled. Your comment may take some time to appear.”
Someone is moderating now???
Chad…give it up, we’re tight with the Dad…that should mean more!
What’s with th server?
I post, it refreshes fast, but no more the comment.
Aaaggggh!
This way we’ll have more problems trying to be #400.
Flowmaster ~ The color of the uni pants at home are green. Solid green, like Kermit da frog green. Like Mistah Frogtree green. Like…well, you got da visual by now!
homey — not the toilet one either…lol…it’s from riding the flowrider surf machine at the waterpark. Actually a Campbell grad, but we meet up at a friend’s house in Waipahu. We do have a Waipahu grad in our group though…a ’92 grad.
Auntie Liz,
It feels good but would be a whole lot better if I wasn’t working. I’ll take a vacation for the Hawaii Bowl again this year.
Gotta go. : )
Where did everyone go? Same place as the posts?
Oh oh, if people are being moderated…homey may not be back!
Gotta do some work…I’ll check back in about 150 posts!
hi
There once was a young man named Stretch.
A really a nice guy; not a kvetch.
Warrior fan, bold,
He’ll never get old,
A birthday finds him a great catch!
hi hi
Eh, who’s doing the moderation? Only Tsai-kos allowed to moderate!
yeah. this thing ate my comment too.
tks stephen for the ticket swap. i have donated them to a worthy cause or is it a worthy fellow?
“Your comment may take some time to appear.”
Hey, HA Techies- GOOD JOB!!!
FASTER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!
I just wanted to see where we stand with the blogs to get the free tickests..Oh well, I’ll come back…
Hah!!…only two hundred something…I figured its on the three’s already
okay it was defined that stretch and catch do not rhyme and are poems done even number of lines???
okay, i was just told by the false pordagee that if you pronounce em in portuguese it does rhyme, stretch (straatch), catch (caatch).
ok lizk, i’ll leave you alone.
The blog is working now- but the main HA page is going through the reconstruct.
Funny that they don’t announce upgrades- unless someone on the east coast forgot this is rush hour in Hawaii.
Doesn’t feel like a crash and rebuild…
oh well.
HIHO!
Ok Rob, let me re-phrase, I am friends with BOTH daughters, son, wife, AND cat. That should be enough now 🙂
Rob 25 ~ Your Sons of Hawaii are attending the T-gate? Zooper! Homey will be more apt to behave himself with an MP escort on the premises.
The Cabana’s are on Federal property. Your son got da power to arrest any person or persons that may disrupt the health and welfare of the Tsaiko festivities. He can apply the military combat slippah in a Pearl Harbor minute! Hooahh!
al – sounds like: stretch and ket-ch… who says “cat-ch” anyway?
Plus it’s nicer than retch or fetch or wretch… 😈
hiho
Lemme try start something…
I will be watching the UH vs Weber St game at: ________
…..Aloha stadium, yelling my guts out at the crappy refs. Go Warriors!!!
LOL OK, you got some inside track Chad! Can you steal a media guide from their house for me then?
Im just cracking up with everyone’s comments. Its so all over the place….
J/K Homes!…We know who the real guilty parties would be. The real Rowdies. The 13th Warriors, Death on Bomber patrol. The hard core women of Ka’ula Bulla’s “Shot-gun” offense!
Papa Johns got some good specials going on
RK, now you making me hungry with Pizza…are you going to order some
It’s Oorah Kekoa! Don’t forget he’s a Marine!
Frank said that he doesn’t have jurisdiction and he isn’t on duty. He says because they have federal police. He has jusridiction for us because he’s a son of a Tsaiko and it’s a Tsaiko event.
Chad, if you going pull Tsai connections…I think I can compete. Though majority for me are on Wena’s side of the family…but that’s the important side. Cat? What cat? It’s all about the boxers. Go ask Wena.
Whoa, couldn’t they found a better time to upgrade, like early Monday morning at 3 am?
wow neva notice the home schedule til now… 3 or 4 weeks between every home game for da 1st 4 games than the last 3 go 3 in a row. 27 hours til kickoff. 🙂
Yowza, twilight zone moment.
Eh…. Tsaikos don’t do ANYTHING in “moderation”! 😀 😯 😆
~•~•~•~ 🙄 😀 😆 Happy Birthday Stretch!!! 😆 😀 🙄 ~•~•~•~
hi jojo!
i tink this thing not going reach 400 til past my bedtime
Something tells me we should have stayed in the life boats…we are in a fog bank right now!
James – Before I fogit, aw shucks, I fogit awrredy!
“One day Stretch had no fear,
He went wear UnderArmour gear,
Stretchette found it really really laughable,
That he looked like the chubby Mr. Incredible.”
woooo, getting kinda loco, as stretch would say wtf
I think that family of Stephen or Wena should be excluded from competing for prizes. There could be ethics violations. Remember Herman Frazier!
OH NO, I don’t want to rile A-House up.
Rob25 – You want me to bring my power ranger walkie talkie for security purposes?
Weren’t we suppose to get some “improvements” to this site? And… wasn’t there suppose to be a return of the PL videos? 😕 🙄 😯
RK..are you going to the game tomorrow?
RK..are you going to the game tomorrow?
Thats funny…LOL on Rob25
My bad, it would be hooah for you Kekoa.
Either way, everyone will get to meet my oldest and youngest. The second son is thinking about coming too. He may come with his friends. He’s even bigger than the oldest…he’s 6’3″ and 250 lbs. Don’t know where we got him from…you’ve seen Frank. Gotta shake our heads when they started looking down at us.
homey – south swell?
Hello Tsaiko-land!
Wow great day to be checking the blog – ST got some great prizes.
Good luck to our Warriors tomorrow! Does anyone know if the game will be streaming online?
jojo – 3 a.m. sounds good to me, but you know them, they don’t follow standard data processing procedures.
HI Loa! You going to the game tomorrow?!?
Loa – yep, hopefully it’s still there tomorrow. Can’t wait to see my daughters get pounded! 😆
Re: T-gate…. Rrob’s barr-bre-qru prok rribs! 😀 😯 😆
Rob25 – You must feed them good! Looks like we may need to bring more food.
Thanks again to everyone for the bday wishes and darn poems.
Antenna is all set for tomorrow’s tailgate, I hope it doesn’t fall over.
homey – 😆
jojo – will be watching with some mates
Todays been so hot and muggy..hopefully tomorrow at the game will be perfect for our warriors to play and win the game big…Go WaRRioRS!!!
Rob 25 ~ Gonna have to get into a “Sound off” contest with your son at the t-gate to see if he got da right stuff! Hoo-rah Vs oo-rah! (Sorry, I fogit he one *Jarhead*).
Loa – pri or play mates?
LiLMermaid – I don’t know about the game being “streaming online”, but someone earlier asked about the game being on ESPN GamePlan or not.
http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/global/contentPageIF.jsp?assetId=1800007
Loa – ship mates?
Kekoa – DPK can be the rah-rah shish boom bah guy.
Brew – ribs never tasted soooo good. LOL
homey circle 5 – yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Guess I’m gonna have to make some more food. Wait SteveM said that there was enough food to last for two days…that should hold those boys for a few hours…right?
Get plenny lurkers coming out today! ????
Loa – ex or in mates?
homey – our server doesn’t either, must be the same guys “fixing” everything
Article about UH’s new TV color commentator.
What happened to Gigi?
Stretch – The antenna is only going to fall over if someone keeps giving homey some of those green bottles or li hing mui margaritas or Jaeger bombs. Eh, wait a minute, Bulla’s going to be there! I’ll have my sons block homey from view so that he cannot partake…he’ll feel like Koakane and then next thing you know, he’s pacing around everywhere making sure that everyone is having a good time.
Rob25 . . .
I know it is kind of late — but are you sure you brought home the right baby from the hospital? HA!
One of the students from a few years ago was well over 6’5″. Both his parents barely broke 5′ even. He jokingly said he was mixed up at birth or when they gave him to his folks.
homey – yes, maybe – depending on da location, hopefully not, probably fomer ones
jojo – nope
okay, bringing over from the lifeboat
homey’s provision checklist:
NA beverages for XLiz ✓
verify oysters in stock ✓
Real beer ✓
Tickets ✓
Extra UH shirt ✓
Money ✓
Caffeine drink ✓
Binoculars ✓
Pillow ✓
Ponchos ✓
Thanks brew808, I’ll have to check it out.
d1shima – thanks for referring us to Highway Inn last week. It was ono!
Stretch . . .
Happy birthday and many happy returns!!!
I don’t know if UH does this with the Rainbow Dancers or cheerleaders…and I don’t think this is the greatest of ideas. Doesn’t USC have enough money already? $150 for each USC Song Girl requested to attend an event…
wafan – I know this may be TMI, but I didn’t have any drugs whatsoever and hubby followed the second one from my womb to his NICU incubator. Can you imagine that? He was in the NICU with a hole in his lung at birth and now, as my two youngest would say, he’s a “freak” because he’s so big. At least I have someone to get things down from the top of the cupboards. LOL
Rob25 – I think gigi is habut. al’s fault.
homey, you forgot the inflatable ball
Not some kind of NCAA violation? I mean the VB coaches can’t even offer the girls a ride to the football game without it being a violation.
Time for me to pack it up.
James – I’ll be checking out the 19th hole right now. I’ll make sure the beer is cold and food ready for the OSU game.
Koakane – No get excited and look for me there, I am only staying little while before I have to head home.
… hose down truck bed…. ✓
Rob25 . . .
But, you folks were not in the NICU 24/7. Hmmmmm.
Nah. Just kidding. But, you sure could mess with his head if you wanted.
HA!
You guys are always causing trouble.
Now for this weeks game UH vs Weber ST.

Rob25 – You guys? I dare you to show me a post where I made trouble.
Pomai . . .
Just want to thank you for keeping track of all those numbers!
Whoo-hoo!!!
Garett,
Interesting info on San Diego State athletics. If SDSU dropped out, who would the Mountain West pick? In the WAC, you would think Boise, Fresno, Hawaii, and maybe Nevada would have the best chances. But with our distance and the rise of fuel prices, you would think we’d be at a significant disadvantage. The chances of something like this happening is probably small anyway. All we can do is keep improving our football and other athletic programs.
TGIF! You people have a wonderful weekend and stay safe!
Thanks wafan, now if I could just win one of dem prizes, heck it took me two years to get one of da “First” spots, so I guess I got a long wait for one prize LOL
Does anyone know why Kaipo Kaheaku-Enhada isn’t playing for Navy today? Navy is about to lose to Ball St. 23-35 w/ under 2 minutes left. 😕
homey – I thought you picked up my purple ball, or was it al?
brew808,
Howzit.
Hammy injury in fall camp.
brew – I think he’s injured.
curt – why would UH want to go to the MWC? I don’t see the point. The WAC is better/same in the major sports. Besides, why would we want to associate with dem traitors?
Are you talking about the boxers at grandma’s J? If so yes, i know them too! But this getting to 400 is taking too long. I want my tickets already! Is there a prize for picking the score tomorrow?
Kaipo muststill be injured. sucks w/ it being his senior year and all.
Bye homey!
d1 – Mahalo for the info.
Rats! Navy and Coach Ken Niumatalolo get their first loss – 23-35 to Ball State! (And no jojo, it’s not in reference to your lost purple beach ball….) 😀 😯 😆
Curt,
I would guess that the MWC would pick Boise State, especially since they are lobbying so hard for entry. I would think Nevada also would be attractive because they have decent football and basketball teams.
However, if the ESPN deal is really good, maybe none of the WAC teams would want to leave…the funny thing is that a little over a year ago BYU’s President was saying that the MWC messed up and he envied the WAC’s relationship with ESPN…even seeming to hint that he would be receptive to thinking about switching conferences. With more ESPN games and more money now for the WAC, that would be even more attractive to BYU. BYU is probably the top draw in the MWC–best football team, best ratings, etc.
38-10
test
hi hi
Rob25,
The USC Song Girls are not covered by NCAA regulations–they are not scholarship athletes. Still, I feel pretty odd about a school renting out their volunteers to go to events…I don’t mind when pro teams have their cheerleaders go to events because they are paid professionals, but Song Girls, cheerleaders, dancers, etc., that are in school I do not think should be rented out like that.
wouldn’t that be prostitution?
and where is the gender equity on this one???
Long way to go to 400–it should happen just as we’re having family time before my kids go to sleep. Oh well, I couldn’t use the seats anyway. At least I can help the count get closer to 400!
Bulla and Boss . . .
I always knew you would look good in purple.
Purple Pride!
400
94 more to go!!!
i was #400 but on the wrong day. it was yesterday’s.
har, har
bulla in purple…..?
wouldn’t that be an eggplant?
whip out the parmigiana!
399
Okay. What happened to my last comment. Seems the electrons were freed for a bit.
Someone said it earlier — we were gone for a week. You would have thought some seeming over-paid mucky-muck brainiac would have figured out to over haul (read that as FIX) the blog and servers at that time.
gimme gimme!
Are these sideline passes too? Meaning the winnah gets to go on the sidelines?
You know, I keep winning these lotteries that I don’t even enter, and here I am hoping to be #400.
I only won last time because Loa let me have them. Thanks again Loa!
Al . . .
Cannot be a Japanese eggplant. Bulla would be a bit too big.
kk
I think ST forgot to tell you that one person will have to hold the parabolic sound dish, and the other will have to keep the electrical cords off the field… 😀 😯 😆
Homey ~ DPK is da head cheerleader…problem is he has more shseesh den da boom bah paht! Work in progress, he promised JD and Coach Mack.
Glad I’m home and can start blogging for those tickets. Does it include airfare and hotel?
jojo,
If I win, you and hubby and can my tickets! Plus the airfare and hotel.
🙂
Hey I wanted to win this thing before I had to go get ready for tailgate tomorrow. Now that homey is gone, there aren’t going to be those sarcastic one liners anymore.
**Stomping off**
This is going to take forever!
let’s all try to be civil to bulla and mrs. bulla tomw. i mean try really hard okay even if they will be decked out in the purple apparel.
Oooops…can have my tickets…and the airfare/hotel
Good luck to someone!
I cannot use the tickets but I, like Garret, can sure help push up the post count.
400
398
Thanks duffer, that is very kind of you. I don’t know where the hotel would be, though.
Wow – w/ Frank away, Rob25 is spending lots of time here on the Warrior Beat!!! 😀 😯 😆
Nothing wrong with wearing purple — if you happen to be at a Damien or Pearl City game. HA!
But, since Bulla is bigger than I, I will not anything bad about him wearing purple tomorrow.
You folks better watch out for Mrs. Bulla, too. Remember she keeps him in line. That backhand must be something else!
Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
almost pau hana.
hope to see you guys at the tailgate & game tomorrow.
best of luck to those trying to be #400!
GO WARRIORS!
Hey jojo – I think duffer would also throw in his parking space at Richardson…. 😆
uhhh, where is Ball St? That was my gigi question for the day.
Come on 71 more!
Hi midori7! 😀
brew, that’s not your parking space?
Hi jojo!
Too bad you folks can’t make it tomorrow because i’m bringing brown rice. mmmmm,
groink!
397
jojo – Should I be so lucky to win, I’d be happy to let you and jeje have the prize! 😀
Hi Hawaiianbod! yummy brown rice!
Brew – I’m on pretty often…you just aren’t around enough.
Hi Midori! See ya tomorrow!
thanks for helping push up the post!!
Hey – What ever happened to the PBS contest? 😕 😯 😀
Ball State is in Indiana – home of David Letterman.
396
ooh, thanks brew! I think I’m gonna cry! Excuse me a bit
The after effects!
HiFlyer…your numbers are getting smaller!
Rob25, 14, 3.14, or whatevers – Ha! I’m often quietly lurking…. 😯 😀 😈
350?
Okay gang…off to a meeting. Will try to get on later. If not, see you guys tomorrow. And here is a reminder….
Ige’s in Pearl City will broadcast the next away game at 10:00 a.m. So, for all you local fans who are not able to join Birthday Boy Stretch and his merry band on the road to Corvalis, here are the details:
UH vs. OSU
Saturday, September 13, 2008
10:00 a.m.
Ige’s Restaurant and 19th Puka
98-761 Oihana Pl
Aiea, HI 96701
(808) 486-3500
They will open at 9:30 a.m. I will get there a little earlier because they do not take reservations no matter how big your party is. I would appreciate it if a couple people could get there early as well so we can save a big enough area for all who are attending.
According to Ige’s, they will serve some breakfast stuff, but will have mostly lunch and pupus. It is also being sponsored by Bud Light so I am assuming Bud Light girls will be there and they may have some specials (KK, that’s right up your alley). There will also be a contest for the Ultimate Warrior Fan. Per Ige’s, “Three lucky winners will receive tickets for the 2009 UH vs. UNLV game. The theme is the Ultimate Warrior Fan so come dressed to impress and unleash your inner Ultimate Warrior.” Not sure what that’s all about but I’ll put it out there.
Anyway, if you plan on coming to the event, please RSVP me at jgo8464822@aol.com so that we can save enough seats. People are always welcomed to just stop by but it would be good if we had a rough estimate of the number attending so that enough room can be made.
Thanks
395
I should be 14 right now, but people get confused so gotta go with original number.
Tickets!
Allright! I made jojo cry! How about that! 😀 😯 😆
49 – 17 Hawaii
Hawaiianbod . . .
How are you doing? It was great to meet you last month! Really, not what I expected at all. HA!
And, how come you are not going to wash the rice first? Besides, in Pearl City, the rice would be red.
Rob 25 . . .
Wow. You never tell a guy his numbers are getting smaller.
Geez.
Whew……
I got some e-mails today about the tailgate and everything is GOOD TO GO!!!!
BIG ALOHA TO STRETCH!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU SIR!!!
Only now am I able to even lurk as today was insane at the office.
Hope to see as many of you as I can tomorrow.
Tsaikogate– if anyone has any last minute questions, don’t post them here as I may not be able to catch it. The best bet is to get me at tsaikotailgate (at) gmail (dot) com. I’ll try my best to respond to them by midnight at the latest.
I plan on arriving at the site between 11:30 – 12 noon.
Look for the “TSAIKO” banner and the UH Flag!!!
P.S. A BIG “WELCOME HOME” TO DA BEAST.
Brew808 ~ PBS contest postponed until further notice. Something about a possible ethics and or compliance complaint from the Punch Bowl Holy Ghost Parade Association. You have to be so politically correct now days, ya know?!
394
Howzit Wafan! It was my pleasure. Was looking forward to the OSU game but now i can’t make it. *sad*
LizK, aloha please mail my tix before you go,ok!
warriors have a great game. play hard!!
aloha everyone!
MANEO !!!
Maybe whitey can bring a salmon to the next t-gate…if he catches one this time…..:-)
Is the A-House ohana bringing that miso butterfish?
ST on 1420 now.
Don’t be sad Hawaiianbod…just go party at Ige’s. It’s so far for me…gotta get up early again…might have to watch at home on PPV.
aloha
370
What is happening with the server?
Okay I was expecting less from the server.
I open up my e-mail and there’s a kazillion give or take a couple from Tsaikos playing their jokes.
Quick reminder about tomorrow’s T-Gate. Remember, we’re going to redeem the HI-5 containers to give to Dole Middle School’s cross-country program to help underwrite the costs of running shoes. Please bring your cans & bottles from home as well.
We’re also bringing a microwave, power strip, and extension cord in case you need to heat up your food.
Finally, we cannot use our tickets to the Wahine/Boise State volleyball game on September 20. If anyone would like to use them, just let us know. We’ll leave them at the box office for you.
See some of you tonight and others tomorrow. Happy Birthday Stretch.
My Mom is bringing sushi to the Tsaiko-gate tomorrow…I wish I could have some! That just adds to the long list of food that I will be missing by not being at the tailgate!
At least I get to go out with Lori for dinner tomorrow without the kids–they will be at the home of one of their friends. I had a coupon sent to me for a free steak dinner from Black Angus–I can pick any of their steaks! That (and Coldstone) will be my Tsaiko-gate substitute tomorrow. The game will be on after we put the kids to sleep so the timing works out perfectly.
Am I the only one on now? Good then I get chance for win!
I’m here Rob19
Not bad for a substitute Garret! I love me some steak and Cold Stone!
Am I close.
I’m here too Rob25, post seems to be disappearing…
Uh oh, gotta distract duffer so that I can win the tickets.
Did I just say that out loud?
393
This server thing is very frustrating!
Garret,
If you talk to your mom, have her look for me, or I’ll look for her to talk story.
38000ssss
Go away…don’t you people have a life?
Wheres my POST!!!!!!??
392
I think the server is going down any second now, everybody should get on LizK’s lifeboat…like right now!
Long refresh time again
OK, I’m just kidding…just let me have them!
closerrrrrr..
Chad your posts are lost with mine!
Do we have a winner yet?
lol rob..
It’s gonna be me
I’m here too. Did I win?
Second prize should be around of golf with Stretch!
WTF how can I be posting too quickly?
391
Oooh.
WINNER!
What about now.
Now
George Kauwalu update from Doris!
Third prize is two rounds of golf with Stretch! 🙂
So Rob, what company is Frank in? My cousin tells me that Texas is booring, while my friend says it’s alright.
howzit everyone!
Meeeee.
WINNER!2
Kira wins!
hi
Tsaiko!
I won!
c’mon show who won!
Nope…can’t believe it.
That was fast, well Rob25 you won a round of golf with Stretch, better than two rounds with him!
Congratulations to Kama Krab! Wow, that was an awesome timed post! All the other people posted a ton to get near 400 and he swooped in!
Wow, congratulations, Kama!!!
Congrats to Kama Krab!
Congrats to Kama Krab!
wow. 399. thats sad
Auryte Kama!
He’s part of the 29th BST, but they are attached to the 299th CAV. They are CSC-3 Task Force Koa.
Yeah, he can’t stand it there. Says there’s nothing to do and it’s hot.
Woah, jojo . . . how the heck did THAT happen!?!?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY STRETCH!!!
haha. Rob our intense battle left us 1 short :[
duffer,
I’m sure that you’ll find my folks. My Dad looks quite a bit like Uncle Kaname. They are looking forward to seeing again the Tsaikos they met in New Orleans, and meeting lots of new Tsaikos.
Rob3823842374 . . .
Looks like there is a timer or something or other involved.
Most frustrating.
Awww, now the servers are being quick
390
Congrats Kama!
I knew I wasn’t watching behind me!
Nah, only kidding. That was fun…usually I’m not around to fight for a prize.
If anyone can use two good tix for the Oct 11th La Tech game, see me tomorrow at the T-gate. Hope to get there around 11:30.
Chad…yeah that sucks, but hey now we’re Tsaikos-in-arms…been through the battle.
Uh HiFlyer….kinda late now!
Hi BG!
Bye BG! Oh and everyone else.
See some of you tomorrow at the tailgate!
At least I didn’t do an Esme…and whooosh. Gone.
Rob25, as we have all learned over time, certain ***ahem*** schools are ***cough, cough*** “exempt” from such violations (Kazz pukes) 😈 .
Kira – LOL how’d you steal my thought?
Bess is the top backup to Ginn for punt and kick returns. Since Ginn is also their #1 WR, it is quite likely that they will have Bess return some kicks to give him a break.
Just incredible, Jojo. Same time too. We should get a prize just for doing THAT 🙂 .
400?
localboy18 — in the San Jose area? If so, please email me at: stevem.hnl (at) gmail.com. I would like to get your contact info for possible cattle calls… (since brew808 is shy) 🙂
Kazz,
Here is the form on USC’s website to rent the Song Girls. They sure aren’t hiding this from anyone…
All those that posted a 5:01 pm should win 🙂
jm2375,
I would think that the better WAC schools would jump to the MWC if offered. Our top 4 is pretty solid; but I think the MWC is just stronger overall.
At the time of the breakup, I was not very happy with the MWC. They dumped us and left us hanging. But, I don’t hold grudges. And, we’re not doing too bad now. I’ll support whatever’s best for our school.
😯 . . . I like the … um… wording of that phrase. Real classy. 😉
Dropping in to wish everyone a good evening!
It appears I’ll have an extra ticket for the Boise game, so if you or anyone you know is wanting to go to that game and needs a game ticket, just let me know.
Looks like my credit card’s been charged for the Fresno game tickets…..so looks like I’ll be going to that game as well! Anyways, anxiously looking forward to next week’s game against OSU!
YOU DA MAN KAMA!!!!
You should celebrate. How ’bout a haka?
“Kama… te kama… te…. I WON … I WON… Kama… te Kama..te I WON I WON. I get da tickets to da game!! How about you? or you?” 😆
CONGRATS!!!
Kazz,
I agree with your take on the wording on USC’s website…
Garett,
Interesting to hear BYU’s perspective on the MWC vs. WAC tv contract. And, nice to know we’re locked into ESPN for awhile now. Thanks for all the good info. U da man.
Any other prizes available? I’ll take movie tickets, too!
Ronnie,
email me with ticket info. let me know how you want to handle payment and stuff. can’t wait for Oct.17
WASUP/BHG2: JDog posted this today but I am kind of surprise no one on the blog had commented on it!
The University of Hawai’i has denied two protests contesting the award of a contract for the resurfacing of UH Manoa’s Clarence T.C. Ching Athletic Complex (formerly known as Cooke Field).
The contract of $862,381 was awarded on August 13th to the lowest-bidder, RMY Construction, Inc., to install a new synthetic playing surface. Following the award, however, protests were received from the second-lowest bidder, CO-HA Builders, Inc., dba Applied Surface Technology and the fourth-lowest bidder, Ching’s Nursery, Inc. dba Service Contracting.
CO-HA Builders has subsequently requested a hearing with the State Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs on the University’s denial of CO-HA Builder’s protest.
Attorney William McCorriston has been retained by the University to handle this hearing and any other proceeding, including any court actions.
“We intend to aggressively pursue the completion of this project because of its importance to our campus and the community and because this is a great public-private partnership between the State Legislature, the Ching Foundation, and the University,” said Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw. The Legislature this session appropriated $1.2 million for the turf replacement project and the Ching Foundation is providing $5 million for the athletic complex.
“It’s important to resolve the legal obstacles to this matter as quickly as we possibly can so that we can move on and begin work on the project,” said Athletic Director Jim Donovan. “If we can do that, the new field would be ready this season and really help the football team, as well as such groups as the band and ROTC.”
In short, UH had now rejected the initial protest and CO-HA appealed it to DCCA. Both BHF2 and I had pointed out that UH could proceed despite the objections as it would be in the best interest of the State
Way to go Kama! You sly devil! You are da winnah!
Howzit Foosball Fanatics
Eh Jason, how come yesterday you said you was looking at me? For what? You better not be one meat gazer…haha
Nah, tek it easeh and tone ket kracy…I was only joking yesterday about the MILF thing…just complimenting Palin cause she’s a good looking lady
Cameron Higgins better be taking notes tommorrow after Inoke Funaki lights up Weber St.
OK, Kama Karb is our winner. Call me now: 525-8051.
Who actually thought I wouldn’t have a song ready before game time???
No offense to the local boys on Weber State especially THE BEAST, but “our name is our virtue”!
This one is to the tune of “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz and covered locally by Ten Feet. I like to think this tells the story of our Warriors starting with the Florida game to tomorrow night’s match up.
“UH SCORES”
(In Florida)
Well now we’ve done lost it and you bet we felt it
We tried to be better but they were so fast that we skidded
The plan fell through the cracks
and now we’re trying to get back
Before the mana done run out
We’ll be giving it our bestest
Nothing’s going to stop us but divine intervention
We reckon its again our turn to win some or learn some
We won’t hesitate no more, no more
We cannot wait, UH SCORES!!!
(onto Weber State)
We’ll open up field and pass freely
Open up the gaps and Satele will be free
With your heads in your laps you’ll feel a loss, loss, loss
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing,
“HAWAII FIVE O” is our thing.
It’s our God-forsaken right to have won won, won, and won
So we won’t hesitate no more, no more
We cannot wait I’m sure
There’s no need to instigate
Weber State’s time is short
This is YOUR fate, UH SCORES!!!
You’ve been spending way too long checking the stats and the records
And bending over backwards just to try to stop it further
But UH broke the glass,
And so MACK drew a blitz and laughed
I guess what I’m saying is there ain’t no better season
To rid ourselves of vanity and just go with the reasons
It’s what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue
We won’t hesitate no more, no more
We cannot wait we’re sure
There’s no need to instigate
Weber State’s time is short
This is YOUR fate, UH SCORES!!!
Lil Mermaid,
Glad you enjoyed it.
Garret,
I wonder if SDSU is still planning to *bus* to their game with ASU? For a D1 program to do that would be embarassing!
I hope at the very least, they don’t take a YELLOW SCHOOL BUS!
Kama Krab,
Way to go!
And Liz Kauai gets the Jets-Redskins program.
Kama, I can B ur friend this weekend?
Beer, boiled peanuts, hot dogs sneaked in through all my pockets on my puka shorts, etc. It’s on me…….
Oh Oh
The MILF subject coming around again.
Please don’t git my schwiiing – a- ling itus going again.

Don’t you wish you had students like this?
No notes. No teleprompter. 10 y/o 😀
d1,
Isn’t SDSU playing Notre Dame this weekend? That would really be sad if they bussed all the way to South Bend. I know they played ASU in Tempe last year; not sure how they got there then.
Kama Karb? Dats some meeeaaaannnnn carbs. Dats da kine need fo run with coconahtz undah da watah at Waimea fo burn um eh? 😆
Pauoa Boy/Maverick,

Thank you.
CRW,
WOW! I musta just had my first Senior Moment!
Coulda sworn I read about that this year.
Oh! I know, I’ll blame it on the Tekkies….yeah, that’s it.
I actually posted that *last year* 😯
d1,
Yeah, that’s it, TIME WARP!!!!!!!!!!
kama….great seats!
Happy Birthday, Stretch
LK,
It’s been more than two hours since Stretch last posted.
He may not be able to read right now.
heheheh
D1-
Thinking the same notion….Stretch still going with the Birf-day celebration? If so, this blog is far from his reach, or clear focus.
Maybe Stretch can pull a hat trick this weekend . Friday, Sat. and Sunday Night., celebrating a 2 for 1 victory
kden back home and reading today happenings…man get plenty stuff dat happened
way to go Kama congrats and see you lattas at the tgate. know I’m going miss a good one.

lattas all
d1 afta looking at dat video I was waiting for him to say “what you saying willlis”
D1,
That was awesome! The beauty of youth is their innocence, not being jaded by the world yet. His message was clear and from the heart. A few of the teachers he addressed probably could use reminding about why they do, what they do. Most teachers that I encounter do realize the effect they have on their students, but to add, his children and grandchildren, priceless.
WE ARE!!! TSAI-KOS
hey guess whats on disney channel tonight?
how they knew was Stretch’s birthday?
d1 . . .
Awesome! Ihave frosh this year who cannot pick their noses without poking their eyes out.
Time for bed! It was a long three days of school. Dang. 177 moe to go.
Sheesh.
Watching W-VB now .
Playing Wyoming.
Watevah happen to Fennis Dembo(sp?)
Remember their FB unis wen they were in da WAC. Reminded me of overripe bananas
Fenisse Denbo- his twin sister 🙄
Hmmm…I guess everyone stay prepping for da tailgate.
(Like see somebody panic? Watch)
UHFan808,
Sure am looking forward to another serving of your Fricken Awesome PBS at tomorrow’s tailgate! 🙂
d1
they stay watching the VB like you.
Here’s to Stretch– a UH grad engineer
Writes on white board without any fear
Carries a super tsaiko engraved stein full of beer
A multi talented tsaiko–makes shot glasses with no peer…
Happy Birthday Stretch! You da Man!
HI D1Shima,
Hey, I’m gonna watch the Govs battle the Castle Knights on 0C16…
Back later…
LTUHF,
Just switched over, too.
GO GOVS!
Nothing against Dave Vinton but he should switch mics with Jenn Boneza. I’d rather see the whoppin’ BIG fuzzy mic blocking out a huge portion of HIS face than hers!
Kanoa just said the Farrington guy kicked a 15-yd FG. Hah?!? How can? 😕
Always wonder if those folks in the houses adjoining the Castle HS field sell tickets for those seats? Does a ticket include food, drinks and access to the “facilities”?
Apelu So’oalo-10
Castle- 0
No TV; computer being turned off most of the day to paint… See ya guys laters…
Night-night…
Leila, Love your articles about the players!
I’m way late on this but…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY STRETCH!
…debating if I should attempt a poem for you. Don’t want to scare anyone away…
btw, everyone did awesome Stretch poems.
And al, you too funny.
Geez, everyone Esmeing out or what….
tom mui,
Interesting that the fourth-lowest bidder also submitted a bid protest. It’s a waste of time and effort to submit a bid protest if you are that low, especially if you don’t challenge the second- and third-lowest bids.
Looks like the Night Shift is slowly making its way in
Hiya!
Nice to see the depth on the Wahine VB team this year!!!
Mahalo, ST- The Jets-Skins game was such a cool contrast- Favre and Brennan… woohoo!
tommui #450- I hope that means what we think it means!!!
KAZZ!!! YOU ARE DA MAN!!! Now I know it’s football season. We have a song and we have a game!!!
Bad news from da neighbor- no kulolo… tsai…
Tom Mui,
I read the article but was refraining from commenting until I could get some other information. I had been trying to learn about the 4th lowest bidder and try to figure out why that company would file a protest also, especially when the 3rd highest bidder did not file a protest.
On the whole, I think that it is *good* news that UH decided it would just go ahead and award the contract. No matter what they decided they would probably have to deal with lawsuits, but at least this way the field will be done in time to be used this season.
UH commit Corey Nielsen’s team won a close game today.
Happy Birthday Stretch! Hope it is a great one!
Free play link time. Please ignore my next 5 posts if you do not want the off-topic stuff.
50-foot-tall, 37-ton robot spider is in Liverpool. It was built as artwork and paid for by UK taxpayers.
It looks like Dell’s new mini-notebook is pretty really attractively ($349 with Ubuntu), and that it will be even cheaper for people who sign up for a contract with a cellular carrier.
Smart glasses could allow people to immediately help find their missing items, showing the last place they saw any item.
Pretty interesting that Japanese researchers have created “virtual” objects in the air–invisible (because nothing is really there) objects that people can touch and interact with.
Up to 20 million people in China are at risk of floods and power outages for the next decades or even centuries due to the earthquake in May.
Free play links pau.
Nitey nite and sweet dreams!
I guess that would be a possibility if you are in the 98+% of Chinese who won’t be at risk of flood tonight.
Gotta hand it to these Castle kids.
As outmanned and under-sized as they are compared to FHS, they are still scrapping late in the game.
Many two-way players making plays on defense as the Govs try to run out the clock.
asports where you been all day and yesterday?
i thought you were back in kapaa.
Tom and Garret:
The fourth-lowest bidder – or shall we say the highest bidder at more than $1.2 million – holds the “special” license C67FF. The issues are very complex in terms of whether or not the license is a temporary one pending a complex series of administrative procedures to make it a permanent one or if it stands on its own without going through the procedures.
Am waiting for BHF2 to return to confab with him. One or both of us will attend the hearing at DCCA.
Current post-ers: Does this comment appear on your screen – “Your comment may take some time to appear”?
d1 – that running back for the FHS #28 looked pretty good.
Hi al!
Nah, will be in Kapaa in a couple of weeks.
I feel a little guilty about posting and running which I’ve been doing a lot of lately. I think I missed some stuff ’cause I see references but don’t know what the deal is. Sometimes when I start skimming, I can’t seem to put the brakes on the scroll button. Other times, gotta slam on the brakes and run. Good thing my finger doesn’t use gas.
You going to T-gate tomorrow? Can catch up then. If not, can I tempt you with some apple walnut coffeecake and beef bbq teriyaki sticks? I’ll watch the foot, promise.
HiFlyer,
Sure did,
A-sports,
Howzit.
What time will the cake…err, I mean…you and A-Joe be getting there?
it pays to plead…..
i went to the rainbowtique this afternoon only to find the door locked because the volleyball tournament was happening. the supervisor comes to the door and says it is closed.
i tell him, “please i drove down here to buy a kid from maui a tshirt (with my most woeful eyes).”
he looks around cautiously and opens the door. within a minute someone else is knocking on the door. the sup is trying to tell the guy we are closed. i look out the glass door, lo and behold its stephen tsai.
i tell the supervisor, “oh please let him in he is with me.” door opens, tsai hands me the two weber st. tickets. life is good.
we both end up buying warrior apparel for the sons.
Good nite Liz! Tomorrow will get the andrenaline flowing again. Looking forward to seeing you and the rest of the T-gate ohana.
Your neighbor has been incredibly kind with her generosity! In one year, her kulolo is known (and loved) all over the islands and and selected spots across CONUS. Please tell her that all the Tsaiko Ohana bow down to her tasty creations.
GO WARRIORS!
Hawaiianbod ~ Check your email. I made arrangements for your transpo to the t-gate. See you there!
my mouth and i will be there tomw. oops, i meant my son and i will be there tomw.
still don’t know what to bring yet.
Hi d1!
The cake and I will be there at 10-ish. I guess it will be an A (that’s me) and two Ks hanging til the rest of the crowd gets there. Somebody gotta guard the foot…I mean food. Bwahahaha. A-joe will get there later with two Js.
So does anyone know if gigi will be coming tomorrow.
I see that she has given up on Nutrisystems and the political conventions are over.
I know the seas were a little rough for a while, but didn’t anyone throw her a lifeline.
W-Doc

Yes, that note is by the comment box. If you’ll recall, before we went to the lifeboat, there seemed to be an attempt to review posts before they showed up. LOL If there are “reviewers”, I hope they’re laughing as much as we are on some of the fun stuff that goes on here.
good remix of the song kazz. i like em
A-sports,
Got it. Sounds like we going all be following a good opening AKK (pa-dum-tsh!)
See arryboddy tomorrow!
Oyasumina-tsai!
Eh, wait. Where Ronnie is….
IT’S SATURDAY!!!
YEEE-HAWWW!!!
G’nite all…gotta rest up for a BIG day with the Ohana tomorrow.
Ciao
A-sports ~ Would you believe the boss lady will be coming to the t-gate? Yep, that’s a fact. She’s keeping a close eye on me and Pops. Sez we don’t know how to ack ever since FB season started.
I think it’s more because she wants to taste your apple-coffee-crumb-cake-super-supreme-ala-yummy-stuff. Hehehe, no can fool us guys!
Kekoa-
YeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaw!
Stretch is now forty
Or is it forty-seven?
Either way, he’s old
There once was a gal named Stretchette
The best wife a man could e’er net
A woman so bold—
She said, “Yeo-bo, you’re old
So dentures you must now go get”
Geez, limericks are hard! Happy birthday Stretch!
Pomai: 45-9 UH over Weber State.
Jase ~ Very clever limmerick. It gave me a pretty fair visual of Stretch being scolded by Stretchette to get after dem dentures!
With a lopsided score like that, I would suggest sitting far from the Bulla Klan at the t-gate and sandbag your perimeter.
D1Shima,
Did you see that guy who gifted Farrington HS 6-figures for a new weight room. He said when he went back they were using the same weights he used 20 years ago and those were probably 20 years old then. He doesn’t own his own home but is a renter. He will be working on trying to raise the funds for a new stadium at FHS. Now that’s the kind of people we need who give back to the school or community! Too bad I missed his name when he was being interviewed.
Kekoa: I have a bag of watercress and a bottle of Jägermeister to use if I need a distraction. Should give me enough time to run from any purple-green dinosaurs and Marauders. 😀
d1,
this is a little late, but in regards to sdsu “bussing” it. My junior year at Whitworth we bussed it to Humbolt St. That was a long road trip.
Now for this weeks game UH vs Weber ST.

Neither Gigi or Esme will be there to shelter you.
Pomai – UH 45 Weber ST 17

Good morning Warriors!
Today is the day to seize the opportunity.
Tom Mui,

J Dog, thanks for the post and Tom’s repost on da
Ching Cooke Field Fix.
SlowDOWnSKI I get real plenny fo say,
but you guyz is having so much fun wishin
HAPPY BIRFDAY STRETCH! and one belated to
GARRETT 2.
missed you guyz.
A bunch a hooey SADOWSKI an da Contraktaz Bd. UH Law School, give errybody job readin books, writin limmericks to each odda about a proper license. Spend $$ an time lookin fo da loopholes, den not enuf lite leff fo fix da field beefo gotta settle in fo long winter’s nap. Sadowski must be tinkin Momotaro, Tom Mui an bigHilo gonna retire frum bloggin, wear dem out. 👿 nope. promised myself I wuz gonna give Darolyn enuff time fo figah fo win… she like get ducks lined up. me, i like expoze
Contractor Board hui for what it is for Sadowski, a legal vehicle to charge the State extra $$ for Athletic Fixes involving synethetic turf on high school fields. Like only Sadowski can fix fields? I heard he no even fix anyting, he hires peepz for fix. Wat schoolz he wen fo fix synethetic turf??? He would hire Hamocon for fix? KaiKor is hiring Hamocon. Dis special license doesn’t improve da warranty from the manufacturer. So wat principal exactly is Sadowski trying fo push is to have dis special license be a requirement?
You see Sadowski, the polished lawyers speak like how Jim Donovan wen make – all nicee nice.
Me, I just tell you like it is: you junkee junk!!! Cuz yu not wort it fo make nicee nice. You jammin up da field fo da team. dats da principal I’m interested in.
oooo, an one mo ting:

howzit Snowflake!!! have a great game. too bad only going get one winnah cuz you, your coach and team are winners too. I’ll be rootin for you, kinda! 😀
Go Warriors!!!
wat time is tailgate today?
Looks like the judge preferred probation over jail for 4 of the 5 defendants in the Emery Kauanui Jr. case. The big trial will be in October.
Einhorn said he chose probation over prison because of the defendants’ lack of criminal history and their apparent ability to comply with the terms of probation.
Hi bighilofan2! I was holding back my comments on UH going ahead with the Cooke Field turf contract until you and Tom Mui commented, as you guys are the experts. I’m glad it seems like things are moving forward!
According to SteveM’s site, the tailgate will start at 11am.
bhf2 . . .
Glad to see you made it back safe and sound. Now you will focus not only on the Warriors but on getting that darn field fixed and completed. Yahoo!
Are you coming out to Corvallis?
Howzit and Thanks, Garrett!
Picture the Florida team. they’ve got a bunch of special peeps who are really fast. some are really big and fast. the ones that burned us, they were really fast.
now picture our DCCA hearings peeps. well meaning, doing the best they can. they’re gonna get smoked by the McCorristons and Holma types ah da world. They’re gonna spend weeks and weeks writing briefs on the “issues.”
the most encouraging words I read were from Mr. Donovan and Chancellor Hinshaw. They’re gonna speed this thing along.
to me, the words and phrases sure sounded like a separate track thing from the DCCA process. thats the best news I read. sure hope that was the message, cuz I’m all for the two track process. the legal, and the fix.
separate the legal from the fix, UH! now getta going. i had enuffa da Florida stuff. I like us get much much betta right now. enuffa da Slowbowski’s tinkin day doing us a favor, gotta play dem cuz day get rights. hooey on dare “rights”, give em one ah my leffs! i never felt so strongly about doze ideas as i do now, specially after watchin da SB and Fla wit my own 2 eyeZZ, an readin dat down South da high school peeps are playin in full pads an average ah 60 more times dan our high school guyz during spring ball.
An imagine da kine guyz/galz dat are tinkin we can do witout jv sports?
Das right. They grow up to become DCCA and Contractor Board type peeps. summa dem are nice, really nice. and good. an well meanin. but i no like dem be in charge, cuz we ain’t eva gonna catch Fla wit dem in charge. Das why I’m a 2 track type guy! I like us get national recognition. gonna take boat betta facilities and betta trainin for make betta playahz! an da bottom line: Slowbowski is in da way!
nuff said.
btw,
good morning. 😀
Wafan,
Howzit. Corvallis still in da air, tinkin ah leavin Hilo Fri nite, via Hnl, arrv 7:16 Sat am Portland. workin Fri am+ so still iffy.
Good morning to all!! Can’t wait to see you all at the T-gate.
Stretch, hope you had a great Bday. Just remember, like good wine you only get better with age. Thanks for all that you do for us, sometimes we forget and take you for granted. May you enjoy many more birthdays in good health and happiness. Much aloha!
I am really glad I went to Florida. Got to watch Florida Football with Urban Meyer. He spoke very highly of our Mr. Veikune! He also spoke very highly of his very fast team. And I read the Orlanda Sentinel daily, which spoke about all the high school teams in the area. And in Florida I watched a Cal game Carson/Mater Dei on tv. And the comercials on tv about University of Florida. Go Gators.
And all the time I wuz thinkin to myself, Sadowski’s protest would not have made the news. no foolin!
The field fix would have been a done deal before the public announcements. There would not have been a public flap over there.
My conclusion is that Mr. Dennis Sadowski and the Contractor’s Board, under the guidance of Dep. AG Rodney Tam, are an embarassment to the State of Hawaii. How many meetings have they had on the synthetic turf issue? How many times have they publicly noticed the entire new set of rules and regs that they are putting out there? By public notice, I mean notice to the State as put forth in a newspaper of general circulation? doing tings right da 1st time.
Now you understand what I mean when I chide peeps about our State being run by bozo da crowd. And somma yu r wondering why Linda wasn’t picked for VP? 😆 😆 😀
hi ho hi ho
off to work i go
see summa yu dis eve at da game.
esme woooshhh
Good Morning Tsaikos!!
Thanks again to everyone for the bday wishes yesterday. No forget the really important bday tomorrow.
I hope everyone enjoys the tailgate.
Great Morning All!
IT’S SATURDAY!!!

Good Gameday Morning Tsaikos and Tsaikettes!
ST-
You gonna give us a new post?
So, over the summer while was visiting Hawai’i I decided to prepay my monthly bills. No problem.
Now, I am no financial whiz like Kazz. But, this just struck me as odd.
Yesterday I get a bill from Comcast for a whopping $0.03. That is correct. THREE cents. Sheesh! It is going to cost me $0.42 for postage, $0.02 for an envelope, $0.01 for a cheque (not to mention time to write the cheque, address the envelope, drop it in the mail collection box, pay the postal people, fuel their vehicles to deliver it, pay some poor schmuck to sort and deliver the mail at the payment center, and who knows what else), I have no idea how much for the bank to process the cheque, and I have no clue how much for Comcast to do the accounting and processing of the payment. Maybe it will cost $15+ after all is said and done just so Comcast can collect THREE CENTS!
This is almost as funny as the time Verizon sent me a bill for a penny.
Geez. I suppose it all adds up for them somewhere along the line.
OSU TICKETS
If anyone needs tickets for the game, please email me at stretch6592 at yahoo. There are 3 people who have a total of 7 extra tickets. I can put you in contact with each other.
wafan – crappy part is that if you don’t pay it, there is probably a $25 late fee.
Stretch . . .
Yep. The interesting part is the bill was actually only $0.02. The additional penny is for taxes.
At least Verizon did not add the taxes for the penny.
wafan– That’s happened to me several times. My evil fix is to pay them a few cents more, so now you have a “credit”. Then sit back and see how many statements then send out showing the “credit” before they give up and send a check for “a few cents”! Haha! 😈 😯 😈
Hiya Addahknowsports – How ya doing? I read earlier that you’re more than “leadfooted” – but also “heavy handed”! Hehe!! 😀 😯 😆
wafan,
I know the feeling, received two statements from Straub for a total of about $0.15. Maybe the accounting office is run by adult versions of those freshmen you mentioned 😉
Reminds me of that Richard Pryor (?) movie about how he figured out how to skim all the “rounded” cents and amassed a fortune.
GOOD MORNING TSAI-KO,S WHOOOOOOOOOOOTAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Are you ready for some tgate and football au’wryte so let the games begin. Glorious day for friendship, family, fun, and fuuuuuuuuuuuuud mixed in with some football.
Finalizing and checking out what I need so no forget anything. 🙄 keawe-check, fuud-check, cooler-check, ice-check, beeru-check, xtrabeeru-check, purple shirt-naaa leave out (j/k bulla),
See yu”all soon, be careful and drive safely getting to the tgate.
…Then sit back and see how many statements they send out… 😈
Addahknowsports – “heavy handed” or the “touch of
goldlead”! 😆koakane,
chay-ah, need chay-ah fo’ sit down!
match, need match fio; staht fi-ya!
let you know if tink of oddah stuff wen I see you dere….

Good Morning Tsaikos and Tsaikettes!
Just stopping in to say hello before heading out the door.
Yea! It’s Saturday and there’s a home game. Gotta relish them when we have them….the season goes by way too fast.
See everyone at the tailgate later today.

GAMEDAY, YEEESSSS!!!
bhf2,
Good to see you back with the same old infectious energy. Enjoyed meeting you in Orlando, too bad there wasn’t more time to talk with you. You had just arrived from a monsterous trip and were quite tired, but still, your energy was there, like a coiled spring.
Where are the A-Houses, still in Vegas or are they back yet?
This is a huge game for Hawaii today, have to agree with Ferd on that one. Hawaii is in charge of the outcome of this contest. They need a big game from everyone to get ready and confident for Oregon State.
oh esmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and whoooooooooooooooosh
Hiya Brew! 🙂
I’m doing great this morning! Got up early and currently doing a little baking. I’m singing to my apples as we type.
About the “heavy handed-ness”……..yeah. According to Kekoa, it’s spreading to other appendages. Not a good thing for the Tsaiko social scene. And sorry, I didn’t mean to beat up on you on our trip. 😳
Hi Florida Ted.
Hope you managing to stay hi and dry. Too many storms in you neck of the woods!
aloha everyone,
let’s get readyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
to
rumbleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
GO WARRIORS

Leave it on the field……mahalo for all the prayers and good thoughts for #95, The Beast
see you there……………………
Geez, so many typos!
Need more coffee.

Still using da 10% Kona stuff. If I put twice as much scoops, wat? Come out like 20%?
heheheh
Ga. Tech down, 7-9 to BC. Good luck to former Rainbow OC, Paul Johnson.
“I luv you, you luv me…”
Oh wait – that ‘s the other Barney! bulla, bulla!
Yeah for the Beast/Snowflake! 😀 😯 😆
LTUHF,
Yeh, I saw that guy. Amazing. He said the weights were all customized with “Govs” imprints, too.
Said they need $4M for make one stadium out of Kusunoki Field.
Eh, I no can ever remember those lights being turned on. Would be nice to see that someday.
d1島 – FHS huh? 😀
We might have to get Uncle Jason to give you some remedial math tutoring….
BTW – Congrats to Uncle Jason and his new nephew Ezrah! Imagine the pressure on that boy having to live up to his Uncle’s standards! 😀 😯 😆
bulla,
Howzit.
Still trying to decide if I going join you in wearing “Wildcat” colors.
It’s a game time decision. haha
Gotta run errands (not errants) before TsaikoGate.
See you there….
Hey everyone
Whats going on,everyone getting ready for the game?
Hope everyone enjoys the game,and all the good food at the tailgate.
Rob25: Hey sweetheart love ya
Semper Fi
brew,
haha.
“Uncle standards”?
If he goes by the example of all the Tsaiko uncles, it is certainly not a lofty standard 🙂
gotta Esme fo’ real…..
We discussed this last season – but everytime I see Lou Holtz (He now calls himself “Dr. Lou”??? 🙄 ), I keep waiting for his dentures to go flying across the screen! 😈 😯 😈
Good luck to the Beast and his team mates!
But, best of luck to the Warriors!!!
brew808,
gotta love a big guy in purple….what a great day
d1,
game time decision….ok, i’ll let you slide…comments like that make me think of Larry Little fans for UH Basketball, haha
Brew-
Since I work between 1200° and 2000° , at a 600° + melting point if it spreads to my left hand, I’m in trouble.
i know, i know,
everyone wants the warriors to win….and there is a ‘sliver’ of me that hopes so also……but all i really want is for #95 to play hard and stay injury free…..win or lose, just to be on the field as a true freshman battling…..is awesome enough for our family.
Jason’s new nephew will be doing the calculus before he learns his alphabets.
Bulla-
🙂
Anybody know what the heck Addahknowsports is talking about? I think she was baking and decided to drink the vanilla extract straight up! 😀 😯 😆
oops- fell asleep. cat woke me up and then bhf2 called.
WAKE UP TIME!!!
SEE YOU SOON!
❗ GO WARRIORS ❗
hahah… brokeblog brew808…
LOST & FOUND DEPT. REPORT:
1 ~ Slightly used Fan. Found on the taramack at Hilo airport and put in the cargo hold on Hawaiian Air to HNL.
Good morning my Tsaiko ohana! I see everybody is getting ready for game day in Hawaii Nei! AURYTE!
Just got a cell call from da Hilo Fan Man. He is thumbing a ride in from Hilo as we speak. He has some tales to tell of his travels to and from the Swamp. He can’t wait to taste “Da Besses Apple Coffee Supah Doopah Crumb Cake Dis Side of Po ‘Dunk Holler!”
So, aunty Tita ‘Lead Limbs’ – no pressha, K?…(civil lawsuits are his forte’ by the way).
Addahknowsports I think at 1200° to 2000° — you’ll likely burn your apple-walnut-cake! 😀 😯 😆
.
Good morning all.
Hello?
I think DPK wants to say something…. 😀 😯 😆
600!
What did I win??!!
😆
brew- you wen mess up DPK’s entrance…
Muffed snap into the endzone recovered by the Bobcats! Touchdown!!!….
Ohio-14, #3 Ohio State – 6, 8:56 3Q 😀
DPK,
You’ve won love and Aloha.
Yeah – I’m sorry DPK – I’ll go do my timeout in the corner…. 🙁 🙁 🙁
Hi DPK!
HI Brew!
HI Ted!
HIHO!
Ohio State is going to get slaughtered by USC.
Ted- GO ABE!!! USC Hawaii 5-0!
Hi ya Liz! See you on the shoreline of Cabana A. (Sounds so Resortful)
Interesting.
My last post has been turned into freed electrons. Yay!
What happened?
All I said was “Hi, DPK!”
Not football related but pretty funny MLB story
http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_league_stew/post/Whoops-Angels-Sean-Rodriguez-strikes-out-after?urn=mlb,105854
Ted ~ Watch for #50 to get some *PT* today wen USC takes full control in the 2nd half.
Hi Kekoa!
yup!
PBS, cake, oysters, misoyaki butterfish… I not going eat breakfast…
ok. time to shut down and get on da road!
Hi, LizK,
A spiritual being in a physical experience (great). The physical world doesn’t seem to have much baring on you, you appear to be everywhere at any time, lol.
FT ~ BTW…did you know that “Iron Mike” Garrett is the AD at USC, and has been since 1992? Abe – another USC legend is in the making!
Kekoa,
Either Ohio State is very arrogant or not that good at all. They look pretty weak right now against Ohio. If they lose this game, a lot of the USC games luster will be lost.
Yeah Brew…and at 150 proof vanilla, I’ll set myself on fire at the same time. That’s okay, maybe by the time I reach the T-gate site, no need grill bbq sticks. Will be well done by then. Hehe.
Kekoa,
USC might redshirt #50…in most cases, OL are better off redshirting to have an extra year in their college’s weight program before playing. I know that for over a decade the Texas OL would redshirt their freshman year unless the team lacked enough depth or had injuries and needed them to play right away.
I see it as a good sign that UH is redshirting so many of their recruits. That means that the Warriors finally have enough depth and can now look to strengthen the team for the future. If Paipai redshirts that would mean that UH is incredibly deep at LB!
I read some troubling news in another paper. It looks like Slobowski has struck again. Where’s BHF2? He needs to bust out da slippah!
Addahknowsports – That would make you flaming hot! Hehe!
…. besides, you’re already “well done”…. 😳 🙄 😆
WAFAN: They forgot! – The additional .01 charge will be forthcoming!
If they accept payment in their website, that may be a solution.
DPK,
I didn’t read any news in the other paper about Sadowski! It this related to Cooke Field or some other issue?
Brew-
Thanks!…I think.
Nice that Jesse Sapolu is being honored this way.
It may be time for a Tsaiko protest at the COHA workplace! 😈 😡 😈
I didn’t realize that Gov. Palin attended 2 colleges in Hawaii…though her times there were quite short.
Garret-
Yep. It’s there. About “another” delay in field repairs.
I will be there to cheer Jesse – AND Ulbrich, Sopoaga, and even LaBoy! But I’ll be cheering for our current Warriors first! 😆 😆 😆
DPK tiptoes around the “smu” threshold… 😀
I just read the article–they are planning to having the case start on September 23. I hope that this doesn’t delay UH’s plans to move forward quickly with the turf fix.
GARRET:
ON August 26th I sent the following (extracted) to Ms Lendio w/cc to Chancellor Hinshaw which was my read on the objections to the Cooke/Ching field contract.
“As you realize from the objections made for CO-HA, the objections was two-fold.
(1) The Procurement Code required RMY to list a licensed specialty subcontractor in its bid.
(2) RMY failed to list a licensed specialty subcontractor.
Addressing the first point, the attorney for CO-HA is correct in that RMY was required to obtain and list a properly licensed specialty contractor in its bid.
Addressing the second point, the attorney for CO-HA is totally off-base.
Sports Turf Hawaii (STH) was listed by RMY in its bid. Sports Hawaii is a registered trade name and in its attachment to the bid, HMY listed STH and the license number and classification code. Exhibit “C” attached to CO-HA shows that STH was a trade name, the name of the agent (Logan Hamocon) and CO-HA’s exhibit “D” again shows Logan Hamocon was an individual contractor with the trade name Sports Turf Hawaii. A search of the records shows that Mr. Hamocon has a valid contractors’ license as well as a C-27 (Landscape) specialty license.
It should be pointed out that a Landscape Specialty license had been approved by the Board for the purposes of laying down of synthetic turf. A search of the records will also show that there is no specialty license for synthetic turf.
While the Contractors Board had talked about synthetic turf as a specialized license, I direct your attention to Ms Verna Oda’s defense of the board in her statement in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, dated August 7, 2008 where she gave the history of the installation where one of CO-HA principal, and a member of the Board, had concerns about the installation of synthetic turf back in September 2007 and October 2007, he was asked by the Chair to “review the wording of the board’s wording of the board’s landscape and turf classification. Her last paragraph of August 2008 in that article was that: “the matter is still the subject of public discussion…”
I would also point out that under HAR Section 3-126-3, a protest shall be made in writing to the chief procurement officer within five working days. The winning bid, as I understand it from the CO-HA letter was August 1, 2008. I realize that CO-HA will argue that it did not know the facts until much later but I submit that CO-HA should have known as they claim possession of the a synthetic turf license.
I would urge that 130D-707HRS is applicable and that the contract be ratified and affirmed as it is in the best interest of the State.”
Essentially, 130D-707 of the Revised Statutes says that if there is a objection, the contract still can be OK’d “in the best interest of the State”.
So….. did I miss the notice for another hiatus for the WB… or could someone please awaken “sleeping beauty”! Yeah, I realize it’s the day before his 200th b-day, but his adoring fans need their sports nourishment! 😀 😯 😆
Tom Mui . . .
The lowest amount I can submit for a payment on-line is $1. That means I will have a $0.97 balance with them. Eventually, they will send me a refund cheque that I will have to take to the bank. I wonder how much it will cost them to send out that cheque and how much it will cost for my bank to actually “deposit” it in my account.
So weird.
Brew-
Because of my status as a “special operative” for the WB, I am not subject to being SMU’D. 😉
Tom Mui,
Thank you for posting that! It was especially interesting to read about the 5 working day deadline miss–that could really be bad for Sadowski and good for UH!
Is there anyway I can get tonights game on my computer???????
Thanks for the timely update, Counsel Mui.

Cody Nakamura has a couple of quotes in the Deseret News today.
Unlike Cody, Cameron Higgins isn’t so upset at UH.
brew808:
Thanks a bunch….
I guess I won’t see the new blog until after the game since I’ll be offline for awhile…
Brew . . .
Any idea how much that live stream costs?
The more I think about this whole Sadowski shibai, the more ticked off I get. Enough already, somebody make a decision NOW and get on with it and then let the chips fall where they may.
IT’S SATURDAY!!!!
Yee Haw!!!!!!!
curveball: If your ISP offers espn360, you can watch the game for free.
