Chow completes staff
Norm Chow completed his coaching staff with the announced hiring of Chris Demarest as special teams coordinator and defensive assistant.
Demarest coached East Stroudsburg’s defensive backs the past season. He also has coached at Florida State, Rutgers and North Carolina State, where he worked with Chow.
* * * * *
Chow has decided to retain Inoke Funaki as a graduate assistant.
Funaki, a former UH quarterback, has served as a GA the past two seasons. During the transition period after Greg McMackin’s departure, Funaki was certified as a recruiter.
Funaki began serving as a GA in January 2010. The NCAA has a three-year limit for a GA. Because GAs are on one-year contracts, Funaki’s second term ended last month.
Funaki is on track to earn a master’s degree in public administration in May.
* * * * *
Defensive coordinator Thom Kaumeyer arrives in town tomorrow.
* * * * *
Former UH lineman Ray Hisatake is part of a mentoring program at his other alma mater, College of San Mateo. The past year, he served as mentor to Ronald Fields, a cornerback who has committed to play for the Warriors in 2012.
Hisatake said he hopes San Mateo will steer Fehoko Fanaika, one of the nation’s top JC linemen, to UH.
“We need to get the big guy over there,” Hisatake said.
* * * * *
So nice of Utah State to announce Dave Aranda as defensive coordinator today after he had been working at the school for a week.
great news! congrats, Inoke!
that’s good news!
congrats to inoke!
ST~ no official word on john ursua?
thank you ray for continuing to help the university of hawaii even after you’ve graduated!
having an open pipeline to san mateo would be a big plus.
Not even unofficial word.
thanks ST.
what’s the hold up with chris demarest?
also is thom kaumeyer here yet?
Top ten???
Top Ten baybeeee!
Good for Funaki! Very deserving, and being mentored by Coach Chow will be a great experience for him.
Agree with Hisatake, we need that big guy over here!
Awesome news for Funaki, Aranda and the mentoring program at College of San Mateo. Warriors New and Old keep giving to the program!… Mahalo! and Best wishes!
Top 15 babeeee! Good to see Funaki with a position under Chow. I think he’ll learn a lot. Also good to see a focus on getting taller OL at UH.
Out of the 120 FBS teams out there only two have kept their coaching staff intact since 2009…
http://coachingsearch.com/home/259-only-2-coaching-staffs-have-remained-intact-since-2009.html
What a merry-go-round, eh?
Good Morning one and all!
Great news about Inoke and Ray Hisatake!
ST – where are the coaches today? Any on-island minding the store?
Good morning Tsaikos…top 25 …woo hoo!!!
Congrats to Funaki!!!
Also, thanks to Ray Hisatake for continuing to assist UH…..
Any word about the results of the CFL tryouts on Sunday, Mr. Tsai?
Great news for Inoke! Congratulations to Inoke. Coach Chow made an excellent choice by retaining him.
Congrats to Inoke Funaki.
There are still apparently some schools looking to fill their 2012 football schedules. Nevada just filled their last puka with a home game against South Florida from the Big East.
http://www.mynews4.com/content/sports/story/Nevada-football/YHs2qWxvl0uzlVlwjf8hdQ.cspx
Wow no Wikipedia for 24 hours starting tomorrow… how in the world will I ever get my facts straight tomorrow?
I hope it helps block the legislation, though. Too much censorship could create a lag in information and science in the US.
gotta hand it to ST for fielding all these questions and inquiries. i’ll take any info he can give. keep up the good work.
The most interesting part to me of this short article out of Fresno is that it hints that the MWC/CUSA new conference could allow for its schools to keep at least some of their local TV rights. That could mean that UH could keep its PPV revenue.
wikipedia blackout, that means i don’t have to do updates for 24 hours. 😆
off-topic:
Indianapolis Colts: The Colts has released head coach Jim Caldwell.
So, the NCAA is delaying the $2,000 per year stipend for scholarship athletes but are allowing student-athletes who signed in December to still get the stipend money. Most of those athletes were football and men’s basketball recruits, so they will be getting the extra money while all of their teammates will not. Since the majority of the recruits who signed in December were male and schools aren’t allowed to give the stipend to athletes who sign now, doesn’t this technically mean that the NCAA is creating a Title IX imbalance?
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/story/2012-01-14/NCAA-stipend-money/52559576/1
It is interesting that *coaches* can now oversee summer workouts for incoming recruits enrolled in summer school.
Aranda to recruit Hawaii?
Against Chow & Co….? Good luck with that buddy.
Was this young man the first student of the Brian Derby Camps?
pride: any relation to the local TE we’re trying to get?
Cheepono, not sure.
Good idea to keep Funaki – its a no brainer to keep a Kahuku alumni in our coaching staff if were going to recruit Kahuku hard..
That is good news. It’s better for everyone if more of Hawaii’s kids have access to a good education while playing FBS football.
Was NICK ROLOVOCH retained?
I’d say with Coach Chow at the helm, I’d wish “good luck” on the usual corps of mainland recruiters attempting to poach the best we have to offer!
#33 chess vs checkers
top 40! woohoo!
was wunderin about Rolo!?..hmmmm…
primo: your spelling of “wondering” reminds me of this place in germany. lol
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN_oDdGmKyA
i’d like to see as many as possible local recruits get the opportunity to further their playing careers and education wherever possible. but being the jealous type i’d like to see their first choice…Hawaii. however, coach Chow no can recruit all Hawaii players and not all players want to stay in Hawaii. whoever we get, i’m satisfied.
Kris, you just came back from a no communication to the outside world vacation? just kidding, no rolo.
congratulations to keola loo.
(i don’t think he’s related to bush-loo)
another OC position filled – anyone out there looking for an OC job?
Eastern Illinois: We hear Dino Babers has his offensive coordinator and receivers coaches. Sterlin Gilbert will serve as OC. Gilbert has served as offensive coordinator at Temple HS (TX) for the past few seasons (also worked under Art Briles a few years back at Houston). West Texas A&M running backs coach Andrew Sowder will become the receivers coach at EIU. Sowder played under Babers at Baylor.
Minute by minute by minute by minute, I keep holding on for more recruiting news from Stephen Tsai.
just read the transcript of that cruise ship captain and the coast guard, that buggah is one yellow belly wimpy gutless scaredy cat.
this could be al’s song:
Three Little Birds
Don’t worry about a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin’, Don’t worry about a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right!
Rise up this mornin’,
Smiled with the risin’ sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin’ sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin’, This is my message to you-ou-ou
Singin’, Don’t worry ’bout a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin’, Don’t worry, don’t worry ’bout a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right…

By the way, Kaumeyer arrives in town tomorrow.
Utah State has been one of those schools that always has a few Hawaii kids on the roster, like Idaho. Interesting to see how this might change with conference realignment. That is going to be the big challenge for Aranda (as well as recruiters at NMSU and Idaho). Those three schools out of the WAC were the ones that aggressively recruited Hawaii kids. Not many Hawaii kids on the LaTech, SJSU, Nevada or Fresno rosters last year — just one as far I can tell from looking at the rosters.
So, in joining the MWC we leave behind the three conference schools that were recruiting Hawaii kids the hardest.
this gives the gov another photo op with another coach!
Good news for Inoke. Go get um Ray! Mahalos!! Welcome Coach Kaumeyer.
Morning all!
say it aint so – Colts: We hear the Colts plan to interview Jim Tressel for the head coaching position.
# 44: aw-rite.
Jim Tressel has plenty of experience playing with “paid” athletes. He should be a good fit.
Used to be in my mind that the Colts = character in regards to football programs. In my opinion, a Tressel hire would call that into question.
Retaining Inoke might help UH in its recruiting efforts to secure next year’s top Class of 2013 Kahuku prospects RB Aofaga Wily & OL John Wa’a.
Almost positive that Inoke will make a good impression this year with Coach Chow, resulting in him getting some kind of coaching position next year, much like the road Tuioti, Powell, and Rauscher have taken.
Congrats inoke!!!!! Thanks Ray keep up the good work.
44…that makes him on time as pledged.
awesome news regarding thom kaumeyer!
cp…cute song.
did you get my subliminal message yesterday?
#’s 67, 68
al, went back to read your 67 and 68. what subliminal message? 😆
cp…well look who is the “new” grad asst.
al, ummmmm, that’s why i have the lol smiley face.
why is the SA advertising what seems to be a spanish ad for verizon? que? must be for the growing hispanic population in Hawaii.
#37 cheepono….dats vunderlund…..use german accent….lol…..jus was wunderin….
Por que? No se!
cp…whoosh. it went right over my head. too much pordagee bean soup over the weekend.
the kaumeyer myth has been diffused.
not that we never believed.
all of a sudden recruiting has become great sport again.
three more big weekends to bring in big guys, fast guys, big/fast buys, maybe another qb, and hopefully a lot more local boys.
…after all these are exciting times.
kev-1, i got the ad on the main SA online page. the ad alternates with other ads.
the team is shaping up. can’t wait to see the spring practices. now i know how giddy a teenage girl gets when they get the opportunity to see da Bieber.
funny to see separate ads on the SA featuring the ex-gov and the ex-lt. gov. one running for congress and the other for St. Louis HS. for real, i actually notice the ads!
Have always admired Inoke. Excellent choice Mr. Chow.
Good noonish everyone!
Congrats to Funaki!
Get that master’s!
ARE they recruiting a KICKER??????…..gots to have one…or two….
Speaking of spring practices… just a plug.
Check out http://www.nawahine.com for an updated listing of the spring practices for the Rainbow Wahine Softball team in our events calendar section. Practices remain open to the public and fans should stay ONLY in the stands for the duration of practices which tend to last 2 hours at the minimum.
As stated before, the Wahine will debut their largest roster in recent memory with a squad of 24. Usually Coach Coolen keeps his roster around the 21-22 mark at the most. FYI, the San Jose State Lady Spartans boast a roster of 29! 😯
Season opens up in 23 days with the Oceanic Time Warner Cable Paradise Classic against Seattle University of the Pacific Coast Softball Conference. Game is set for 6pm. Admission is FREE. Parking is $6.00.
The Na Wahine Softball Booster Club is currently accepting applications and renewals and on our website as well as at http://www.hawaiiathletics.com under the softball program’s page, fans can participate in the “Dollars for Dingers/Kokua for K’s” pledge drive. Donate your dollars for every HR and/or strike out by the Rainbow Wahine for the entire 2012 season!!!
com’on….Keoni Bush-Loo, we need U. chirp,chirp,chirp!!?
Happy wit Inoke 2.
Hmmmm..I wonder if Vili can be used to lure Fehoko in shoot they might be related. I can see him in Vili doing the belly bump as he’s running out of the locker room. Doing it with a talkative..PRICELESS
#66 Al what you mean big fast buy, we buying a Cam Newton
Relative I meant.
Cause you know we do that ova hea
66. al is that a subliminal message? What about tall/fast guys (receivers).
Relative
bruce feldman also announced the hiring of chris demarest early this morning.
According to a FB post in True Warriors, Vili will continue working as the Mascot. He and his family got good history with Chow and they are both LDS members.
BIK
66…mistake. “guys”. we stay too poor for buy anything.
Was reading about Bush-Loo’s visit to Idaho. He went to coach Akey’s house and he said that Akey fed him a steak. Hmmm . . . would that steak be considered a gift? Call in the NCAA . . . haha.
#84- i know you were joking, but I think the recruits and student athletes are allowed home cooked meals..
Howzit Tsaikos!
Congrats to Inoke!
Mahalo to all the former Warriors who are putting in a good word for the program and school.
Welcome, Coach Kaumeyer.
Vili is an embarrassment, IM-not so-HO.
Vili takes the mascot thing a bit too far…he needs to chill it…..otherwise…jus bring marshmellow man back…..
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7471905/indianapolis-colts-fire-jim-caldwell-nfl-worst-2-14-season
Looks like the Colts are looking for their next head coach.
we don’t need a mascot…everybody in the stands is the 12th man, we should be the mascot….we need to strike fear into the hearts of the visiting team, shut them down emotionally and make loud noise to throw them off balance. We the fans r the mascot…we are…when united as 1….are warriors!!! Need proof? Vs Fresno state 2001, vs Boise and Washington 2007…we can do what vili does, but only better!
Can’t depend on Vili to recruit for UH. All of his sons went away.
ho boy. top 100 😀
we coulduse samoa samoa samoa!
😀
Maybe we should put the Mascot(s) on a tuition scholarship.
Not all of his sons went away. I think he still got one more at home.
BIK
Da real Warrior pictured here. Da one on da right.
http://tinyurl.com/6w5pysj
pride: awesome article. thanks for posting. any of the noga kids looking to continue the legacy at UH?
Howzit, everyone!
Once again, some great news on the UH front! Gratz to Inoke! Hard work pays off and is recognized and rewarded once again!
Kekoa… good to hear on your earlier post regarding gaming. Wish people would realize we aren’t going to grow our economy by just going through the same unproductive motions as yesterday, and the day before, etc. Gotta be forward-thinking to get out of this rut and move ahead.
With all da big-body guys around da islands, how come no can find one real “Ultimate Warrior”-type Mr. Hawaii bodybuilder to represent? Just wondering…
Wow… that was one beeeeg thunder! Better get this post off before power goes out!
where’s the THUNDER??
Sorry, Primo… we live in Georgia now… about 45 minutes west of the Georgia Bulldogs.
that’s what Hera said to Zeus on their honeymoon.
That was so loud, thought it hit the trees in the back yard! Kids in da house were screaming! hahaha!
Was it Zeus? Or was that question directed to Thor?
Mixing up da mythological ethnicities.
well Zeus was the one throwing lightning bolts in the old cartoons. 😆
oh dam!…ok Wes’side….. i was thinkin HECO was going to pull da plug on us…..lots of VOG on Oahu…..maybe need sum THUNDER! ova hea!
this kid is sayin he no longer has a scholly offer from UH due to the coaching change. can’t figure out who he is though…
http://twitter.com/getpaid_dr4
saw this online an thought sum of you would be interested to read it.
A reporter asked Harbaugh today if he ever thought he could take this team from 6-10 to the NFC Championship game in one year.
Harbaugh said, “Never thought about that then. It was always, ‘Make the day better than yesterday. How can we find a way to be better today than we were yesterday? How can we be better tomorrow than we were today? And if we could get a percent better every day for the next 30 days, we’ll be 30 percent better as a team. And then how can we get a mile an hour faster, or how could we get a .01 percent better? Let’s chase that.'”
Was there a two-year plan or three-year plan?
Harbaugh said, “No, the plan was to win this year. There was no five-year plan, or three-year plan. It was let’s win this year. How can we do that? By getting better every day.”
I wish Aranda well, but…he better not poach our island kids too much or he’ll burn his bridge forever.
Top CIX!
Congratulations to GA Funaki.
Welcome DC Kaumeyer.
Hah? Already gunning for one of the new staffers? 😯
All’s fair in love and recruiting. Best of luck to Aranda. He is the DC and recruiting is the lifeline of his current employment.
BIK
Congrad to Aranda he’s a great guy wish him well.
Not too well against us but will be an interesting event to watch.
He can take all the kids we don’t get to sign. More the merrier and 2nd chance for our island kids as well.
Is Rolo still here? He should go with Aranda. More power to him
Sorry off the subject for awhile. There must be a way to work the Sang Ming character in H50 into a regular. That actor is so good he actentuates every scene he’s in and steals the show. Love to see him. Good luck to Norm Chow.
Stay safe and warm all you PNW Tsaikos!
who’s Sang Ming?
kaimi fairburn says it’s between cal and ucla.
That’s a great idea most every school does that but us.
Not a fan of Vili and agree with others:
Vili got suspended couple of time too that I remember.
All other sports stop inviting him to the arena games.
#91,
Vili still has one more son in high school….returning Farrington HS sophomore DL Breiden.
http://www.scoringlive.com/football/players.php?team=FARR&player=22&pname=Breiden-Fehoko
cheepono…
Got some pics of him here.. .
http://getpaidr4.tumblr.com/
anybody recognize him?
#106: the recruit who no longer has a school lie offer is Brian Hawthorne
vili’s contract as an entertainer is for football only. he’ll only do appearances at other events as long as you pay him.
Sup everyone. Very cloudy here. Can’t wait for spring ball…
thanks bryson
tsai’s been bringing up the mascot issue for years now. it is his suggestion to uhad, et al to have students compete for the mascot’s position and give that student a scholie.
he’s been beating that drum for a while now.
opening day for the legislature tomorrow. go get em gamers. legalize some form of gambling and utilize our rich soil composition by legalizing marijuana. betcha both will bring million$ to the state.
no need be last in the nation in school improvement and construction spending per student. no need worry about racing to the top. no need worry about potholes (maybe potheads though). no need worry about water main breaks. change can be good.
destiny vaeao is leaning towards wsu. hope chow can steal one from leach!
“Minute by minute by minute by minute, I keep holding on,” for more recruiting news from Stephen Tsai.
Also waiting to hear on Rolo’s status. “Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute, I keep holding on.”
Legalize weed and I GUARANTEE people will be surprised at who will openly admit to smoking it.
Just watch. 😎
Keoni Bush-Loo leaning toward Nebraska.
Destiny Vaeao leaning toward Washington State.
We’ll get someone else. I’m confident in our Warrior coaching staff.
uhad marches to the beat of a defferent drummer. bummers
defferent? wth, meant different. see what happens when you smoke da hash buds. 😎
IF they legalize weed, i’m gonna open a zippy’s franchise…..lotta late night munchies gonna happen….
maybe time to buy zig-zag stocks.
well after today…perhaps destiny will be in our future.
the recruiter is in samoa right now.
i think wazzu was in the picture before we got there.
The more reason we should give mascot back to the student! The mascot should be represented at all the games by the students and for the students. Maybe that’s one way of getting the students back at the stadium.
plus wsu is in the boonies.
cp…you seem to have many experiences with pakalolo…?
Maybe there should be a mascot contest among students… say, the last scrimmage in Spring Camp? video and put it up on youtube… let the students select the UH Mascots for the following school year.
Of course, without a scholarship or two up for the grabs, there probably won’t be any takers.
Primo…. No no no no… Need to go after fast food. I think Jack in the Box is a franchise. Not sure though.
You’d make a KILLING on bacon cheddar potato wedges and mozarella sticks.
Stoners are not compelled to eat full meals and the appearance of the foods I just described is the MOST appealing and they know they’d cook faster than most.
Vili the “Warrior” is a laugh! Does his behavior on the field incite the drunks in the stands to act up even more? Is Vili Samoan? Or Tongan? Help UH recruit? With both sons going to mainland schools, who’s kidding who?
Maybe a chow dog (real chow dog) walking the sidelines would be a better mascot. After all, Navy has a goat, AFA has a falcon, why not a chow dog walking the sidelines.
as long as the mascot isn’t one of those guys in the green head-to-toe body suit.
Any official word on John Ursua yet?
but if you are a native american samoan…
would you go where the recruiter is also samoan?
would you go where the recruiter has been there (uh) and done that (played there)?
would you go where the recruiter has also a double masters?
would you go where the hc is also well in tuned to what is important to you?
how about food to eat?
weather? family?
Stoners don’t like to or are not comfortable with dealing with sober people, so this causes problems with 24hr establishments that require server and customer contact. Speaking to a drive thru speaker is less intimidating for those that are not mentally impared. 😉
Fast food places make MORE off of the fans of da ganja than restaurants, even Denny’s or Anna Miller’s.
al, i read a lot of articles.
145…nothing absolute. not yet anyway.
#147…KEVIN…dam!……so true!…..give’s me chills tinking about that now…………oops!….too much info dere……………
@al
Mahalo. I see a lot of Chad Owens in that boy.
Is that little hippie governer trying to legalize weed or something?
mascots…to be politically correct they should have two student mascots.
one real buffed out braddah prancing around, flexing, smiling, going into the stands and greeting all the girls, er, students.
and one real knockout, gorgeous student babe prancing around, flexing, smiling, going into the stands and greeting all the guys, er, students.
of course the mascot uni’s should be such where you could tell why they won the mascot’s positions.
and finally, you need to keep out the gramps and uncles from infiltrating the student sections (kk and j/j for example).
That’s a great idea! now have a Chow chow contest ‘who got that chow in the dog house’
I love animals as mascot and having Chow chow is a great excuse to have one now.
Are you listening UH media relations?
151…methinks he more faster.
anyone remember the Cheech and Chong Big Bambu album that had the big bambu rolling paper inside?
If they ever have a Chow chow contest for mascot at UH game.
I’m gonna get one or even rent one to enter.
dude . . . i don’t remember much about Cheech and Chong, and that’s not because I didn’t watch or listen. It is because of what I was doing when I was.
It is so hard to take Cheech seriously in his acting career nowadays because he will always be remembered for the old days.
all student/athletes on scholies regardless of sport should have a mandatory attendance policy in place. something where they gotta show up to all on campus sports events and football games at home.
re mascot – is the mascot at other schools part of the cheer squad (would the schollie come out of the squad’s allotment)?
I would much rather see a student getting a scholarship rather than actually paying some guy who doesn’t know the “rules”.
there should be a tailgate tent for students set up. charge em ten bucks no alcohol and twenty for alcohol. (i.d. required, haha.) all you can eat pupus and beverages.
have the school buses drop em off right there.
no, not one chow chow. need something more local like one wild pig. one huge pua’a with tusks. one mean looking one.
Congratulation to Bret, Aaron and Royce for great game at the all-star game yesterday
Also seen coach Tomey working hard at the sidelines.
#95 Pride – what I wouldn’t give to see that trio playing for UH today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mikey, how did they do in the game? any boxscore?
160. right on, new era, means new traditons, vili is getting old anyway.

The sixth official colourway release for the relatively young New nike soccer shoes CTR360 series but only the second to feature the weight-stripping design to make the grade as a Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly CTR360 Elite.

cp…one wild pig, eh?
hmmm. what u been smoking brah?
al, the pig may look wild but will be domesticated and have the demeanor of Babe, or Wilber, or that geico pig. weeee, weeeeee! sans pinwheels.
i figure a wild looking buffalo can do more damage than a wild looking pig.
#144 Couch Potato: I would rather have as a mascot a green would-be Gumby who is a UH student on scholarship than a paid mercenary whose kids don’t even go to the UH.
ANd a Chow dog? – Why not? At UDub, while attending a football game there, the husky looked real good and worked for cheap.
not a chow dog…..warriors peeps…warriors…..
well it’s a good thing our head coach last name isn’t Finch. would look funny with finches as your mascot.
and what school has a mascot tied in with the hc’s surname?
MADEINHAWAII #140
You may remember it was students at UC-Santa Cruz was given the right to select the school mascot.
A sea slug!
Be careful of what you wish for! 🙂
1. FDIC takes over the bankcheap diablo 3 gold
Ahem.. Banana slug.
BTW, one of the better selling college shirts out there from a non-BCS school.
yeaaahh! Forget “rainbows, rainbow warriors, or just warriors,” our team’s name should be Na Pua’a! Those of you who hunt know what I’m talkin’ about. Aint nothing more fierce than a cornered boar with 2 1/2 inch blades (tusk). They would tear a doggie to shreds.
BIK
no forget the athletes at ucsc also wanted the banana slug as the mascot. truly a team effort.
not a pig either…………lol…..u guys are too funny…..no pig…no dog….no gecko…no toad….no chicken….no.no.no.no.no….
For national attention, for mascot, how about a mermaid?
what about turtle, humpback, shark, owl, goose, or humuhumunukunukuapua’a?
I have a banana slug shirt and so does a friend of mine. Requested them from my cousin in Cali.
It’s an obscure shirt to wear and very unique. Looks like a cartoon character. Shirt I have is the slug with sunglasses on driving a jeep with a surfboard in the back giving the “shaka” I think.
Or Shark?
University of Hawaii Mongooses.
(good lord.)
IDEA . . . get plenty GECKOS in Hawaii. Maybe we could work out an advertisement deal with Geico and use the Geico Gecko as our “unofficial” mascot, just for profits sake. Still can keep an official Warrior mascot, but throw the Gecko in there too.
sorry primo123 . . . i never see your “no gecko” line
Couch, humuhumu sounds good.
How about a “couch potato”?
this is what happens while waiting for recruiting news. 😆
let idaho be the potatoes.
Interesting thing… Anyone ever been to a Warrior volleyball game?
The crowd chants “LETS GO BOWS”, even the students.
Can’t fault the PA announcer or media relations, or the scoreboard operator either. Everything for the Warrior Volleyball team is shown as WARRIORS.
But…. The public speaks.
Pig hunta….
Maybe UH can finally get Laulesi Fa’afetai and the Green Bottle Boys to perform at halftime from now on.
Guess a mermaid warrior would not be too cool
unless she was one big fish…
the more the mascot ideas come out….gecko…geico…etc..etc….THE MORE IT LOOKS LIKE THE MARSHMELLOW MAN is the BEST ONE!!!
you guys remember the MARSHMELLOW MAN????.
We should have fire dance shows durring half time
#197…..they still chant RAIN…..BOWS….RAIN….BOWS…..at basketball? or did they finally KILL dat one?….
hawaii is known for its humongus b-52 cockaroaches.
get one person in one giant oufit. when he walk by the visitor’s bench he unleashes a hundred or so of those buggas he has kept in a jar by his side. gurantee the mainlanders going run in fear. maybe even go on the field of play when the game is on. five yard penalty for illegal sub.
We should have POLE dancing during HALFTIME!….dere! I said it!
201…now you talking
I remember swimming up to the open jaws of a mori eel
off the rocks at Ala Moana beach and swam as fast as I
could away. So a mori eel warrior mascot might work.
199…yah, it would be a sad sight to see a helpless damsel in distress writhing on the turf.
oops…moray eel
B-52’s sneak into Visitor LOCKERROOM!…..1000’s of them!
we can have a COLLECTION from the FANS during the week….everyone bring in at least 10 per person…..10 gets you a free ticket into the game!!…..hey hey!!…hey!
Hire those guys a the polynesian cultural center and let em loose on the sidelins and end zones. Flaming spears and conch shell chorus after every touchdown! Good way to sell Hawaii on tv too!
I saw a stingray jumping in the Ala Wai once…
No pigs or boars or chow dogs . . . Warriors, guys, we are the Warriors!
Focus, ga las hoppas . . . focus. . .
RAIN BOWS… still happening because that is what the men’s basketball team IS. Rainbow Warriors.
If Gib no like, he can push to change. Their Addidas warm up gear says Warriors.
Personally for the MILLIONTH TIME ALREADY. Get all the men on one page as WARRIORS. The men’s programs are causing all the damn confusion… Warriors for some, den Rainbows only for baseball, den Raimbow Warriors for some.. JEEZ…
Only the Wahine have their heads on straight… RAINBOW WAHINE.
C’mon guys.!!
Meant to say *at the polynesian cultural center
and then there’s the stinging jelly fish…
RAIN BOWS at the bb game is one of the saddest…..chants…in NCAA history….KILL IT ALREADY!!!……
RAIN…….bowssss…..RAIN…….bowsss……
ugh!
Sad is in perception.
When there were 10,000 UH fans all clad in white chanting RAIN…. BOWS during a TV timeout as we were up 15+ points over then #4 Michigan State at home, sitting 4th row DEAD CENTER court, I couldn’t tell who was being busy being all habut about “RAIN BOWS”… was too loud and PROUD to notice.
BUT I would prefer WARRIORS over Rainbow Warriors though, I’m just NOT ashamed of tradition.
Whachu drinking today?
Wea you tink the current one came from?!?!? 🙄 😆 😉
Now that would be an awesome name: The University of Hawaii Fighting Jellyfish! I could hear the chants now: Gooooooooooh! Fishhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Maybe our Wahine could be called the “heavy fisted titas” in honor of Kim Willoughby?
We all fear audits. How about The University of Hawaii Auditors? We could use the mighty Marion Higa as a mascot. Vili wouldn’t have anything on her!
In the heat of yet another “warrior/rainbow warrior/rainbows” debate, let us not forget that in this off-season, we can still laugh and have fun.
Here comes Marion! Runnnn!!!!!!
BIK
Polynesian Cultural Center performers are all BYU students! Don’t think they would be too excited to cheer on the auditors….I mean warriors….I mean rainbow warriors…well, you all know what I mean! 🙂
But now that Chow is coach, we just might be able to pry a few fire knife dancers out of Laie.
BIK
The Hawaii Islanders used to have the Gecko mascot.
Great guy, too. (He was a Punahou graduate who is now big in the unions.)
And he could make a mean chili.
Let us not forget in this “off-season” there are other UH sports to follow as well.
With that being said, I hope “TONY” is at the Call The Coach Show tonight w/Gib Arnold.
Maybe Coach Gib might have some thoughts about Time Tebow.
(FYI, “Tony” looks like a “TONY”… fanny pack and all 🙁 )
Tommui,
What’s wrong with sea slugs? Although I’m surprised that it’s hard to find any with all our school colors…
http://www.richard-seaman.com/Underwater/Philippines/Nudibranchs/NembrothaCristata0306.jpg
Maybe we can just settle on vanna… and as a gift to our opposing team…
good get for Norm Chow with Chris Demarest as special teams coordinator and defensive assistant. We now have a 5-5 split on O&D and a solid duo coaching our DBs. Hopefully they coach up on technique as much as system.
btw, this is a marvelous opportunity for Inoke to continue a career in coaching. Adding Norm Chow to his resume is huge. If he needs inspiration, he need look no further than Ken Niumatalolo. best wishes.
How about the University of Hawaii Tilapias.
Or the poi dogs?
University of Hawaii Nuha Nene
Or the University of Hawaii mokes.
The wahines can be the titas.
MadeinHawaii #225 -have nothing against sea slugs! Wonder if the students at UC-Irving were the ones that voted for the Anteater as their mascot? (I got a nice photo of the statute that graces the entrance of their campus. Have to admit that it looks more interesting than the ones on the UH campus.
welcome to the ohana chris demarest! glad it’s official!
Adams has officially decommitted to play for NIU. What did the coaching staff do wrong? I thought he was our best oline recruit.
@BIK
Lol I thought that the BYU alumnus working PCC thing was just a rumor/insde joke!
@d1shima
Lol I meant more authentic, and less cheesy than a big guy yelling “go warriors arrrgh” all game.
Wonder when the stadium authority is gonna do something about the sound system……
Finally coaching staff is completed!!! Can’t wait to see the new system in place!
234,
Really? He did? Wonder what went wrong?
The University of Hawaii Red Ink Lolo’s….where we can’t pay our bills bcoz we pay for you to come and play us
I think night marchers or menehunes.
I’m not so torn up about loosing Adams, we got some good sized linemen comming in, just leaves another scholarship to award to another big boy! Anyone know if Mike Pennel chose to go to arkansas or is he visiting UH soon?
dustin adams. sorry to hear you “decommitting.” best of luck to you.
decomits are not unusual when changeovers take place. Normally, one of the first items on the agenda a new coach goes through is the list of incomings. He will re-recruit those he feels will fit into his system. It takes a simple phone call or text to convey his love.
Adams looked soft anyway, and probably played against soft talent in South Dakota. If he were playing in Hawaii he wouldn’t be considered like he is now. One scholarship open to bring in another (Kiha Sai)!
Check out the tweet from Jared Ursua to John Ursua, especially the birthday cake…
ursua05 Jared Ursua
Happy Birthday John Ursua #futurewarrior instagr.am/p/iL7e3/
He mentioned to the paper it was a lack of expierence coaching the oline. I didn’t believe him and I went back and the new oline coach has less then 2 years coaching the oline. Which means one thing, next years oline will not be to good. He was the best oline recruit they HAD, but Hawaii has its own problems in front of them. This is a speed bump. They have mountains to climb next year
…broken clock
Best of luck to Dustin Adams. Black mamba, is NIU Northern
Illinois or Iowa or Iosaka, Japan?
243, we are just waiting for the official announcement about his commitment :).
Illinois
Adams is soft anyway probably would not be a starter. He plays against smaller opponents he would have been eaten alive at practice.
Soft? With offers from washington Illinois northern Illinois all of which are bowl teams how is he soft. When you’re 6’5 290 lbs people look smaller. I don’t agree with his decommit at all but do you blame him for choosing a place with 5 star facilities?
No worries. Chow will replace him with someone even better.
WANTED: University of Hawaii Mascot-should be current student; male; good GPA; able to demonstrate school spirit & school pride; exemplary role model in community; effective communicator; gifted vocally with good rythmic sense; good looking & athletically built. To mascot U of H Warrior football games and encourage home field advantage to Warrior Nation at home and away games. Full scholarship provided to successful candidate!
Hmmm UH Mascot. Black Mamba, or Burmese Python. Deadly combo…nah..too creepy. Nevah mind.
if Coach Chow neva teach us nuttin, he taught me dis one:
talk nicely. talk nicely.
We took a trip to vegas last April and this street magician did the most amazing trick in my own hand. He laid a fork in my hand and it started bending by itself. I finally found a video of this same illusion here. Stunning – http://bit.ly/fork_bending_magic_trick_video
Gotta be Warrior, gotta be human–no creature under heaven can substitute the ability or inspire to conquer and vanquish its foe…as the UH Warrior!
Rasu Begasu’s (John Collins) Celebration of Life & Karaoke Call
…this Friday (Jan. 20)
Club Genji from 7:00 pm
Message from John’s sister, Elizabeth:
to clarify a point…
chris wiesehan has four years of oline coaching and three more years as a tight end coach. tight end by the is a member of the oline.
i am certain that keith uperesa will also be available to lend a hand in that department.
i am not so sure that i’d give the past oline “mentors” much credit.
Other than Mike Cavanaugh of course 😉
Why did Chow & his staff let Adams get away?
Let’s go get a wild boar for our mascot.
With all the talk of the mascot situation, a few years back the UH Cheerleaders competed in the Paula Abdul RAH show on MTV. They had one of the cheerleaders dress as a “Warrior”. I think this is what they should do. Vili is NOT a student so there is no connection to the school.
Around the 2:00 minute mark, they start showing the UH cheerleaders.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFCBpwp-T84
It’s infectious!!! Underclassmen talking about playing for Chow and UH. I Love It!!!
261…see 162
260…adams bowed out on his accord.
This stuff is crazy, commits, de commits, “We have the best recruiting coaches ever”, “what happened, what did our coaches do wrong”? “Wow, Adams is a beast, we are doing great in recruiting”….”Well Adams can decommit, he was soft anyway”…..crazy stuff man, crazy
Any truth to josh huff from Oregon transferring to hawaii
268…
None at all… And somehow people accuse me of starting rumors
jeezy, try check your post, it is funny
We will support and applaud committed recruits who want to be warriors. Period.
who the heck is josh huff? And where did you hear he was coming?
jeezyfosheezy don’t start up that again
mikes, he not doing nothing. i just wanted him to look at 268 and see what he posted and that is funny.
Rainbows are symbolic of the multicultural society we have in Hawaii. All football players are Warriors. Therefore it should be Rainbow Warriors. Hawaii is unique. Let’s make our nickname unique also. Did you notice that its harder for the crowds and cheerleaders to cheer “warriors?”.
267. lol
Alot of talk on blogs about him being unhappy at Oregon…doesn’t mention transferring to Hawaii though..
How is it me starting a rumor when i asked a question? Just because you’re an idiot doesn’t mean you need to come after others.
272…
Just funny that there is a double standard sometimes….
Susie reads a possible tweet or post about Josh Huff coming which was a complete joke by the person who wrote it. She didn’t know any better but since the news could be possible great news IF it were true, no one is going to knock it.
But if it is possible bad news, it is horrible to post. I still remember posting about bad things coming down on UH during Moniz scandal. Everyone got pissed at me for it. Glad that got blown over though
277…. Good one Susie… I didn’t come after you…. you just have thin skin
Let me try to help out here, Susie says:
“Any truth to josh huff from Oregon transferring to hawaii” that sounds like a question, like she is asking.
Now this would be taking that tweet and making it her own.
“Josh Huff from Oregon is transferring to Hawaii, stay tuned…..”
That would be taking the info and passing it off as her own and making a statement, not a question.
There is a difference.
Again, no need to start that up again, jeezyfosheezy33.808flava
Well Susie needs to work on her punctuation if that’s a question…..And if your’e gonna ask a question like that, it would be smart to add where she got that read that because 80% of the people here never heard it.
Considering u said I should have mentioned where I found the info on Coach Thom from the beginning.
And if you wanna quote me, Why don’t you say “It is possible Josh Huff could be transferring to Hawaii”
U got some work to do on the nicknames too. Pretty whack is u ask me
if*
If I am not mistaken, I read jeezy33 post something big was going to come out at UH. That afternoon, the point shaving accusation surfaced. He also pointed out some things about a player that I had been hearing on the side too.
I for one pay attention when certain people post (they probably know who they are), others not so much (I would probably fall in the “others not so much” category btw).
Susie . . . it seems like jeezy was just messing around and pointing out your post because of what happened the other day. No worries.
Gotta have thick skin on here sometimes.
uh oh . . . here we go again. round 2. play nice braddahs.
She is asking a question, get over it, get over yourself, she is not stating information as if she is in the know, she is asking. You were stating as if you know it to be true and as if it is your own information. She does not need to tell us where she got info, she is asking not telling. You can’t get over the fact that you are wrong.
Don’t frown clown, we know you are down with the street cred Jeezyfosheezy33 unlimited flava productions ltd.
I don’t know . . . “jeezyfosheezy33.808flava” kind of has a nice ring to it. You should consider using it. Everyone needs a good rap name you know.
Coach Mack is coming back? Wow.
Stay tuned.
BIK
And Jeezyfosheezy, based on the amount of time you spent in here posting, you again are the troll not us, you were in here the other day for hours, I have not been in here for a while and you are up to the same old crap. You live in here, this validates your life. Leave your parents house and go get one. You need thick skin, you can’t stand the heat.
Nuf said..
I dont care Mike Hawk. It is so easy to get in your head, that I just can’t help myself but get a kick out of seeing how frustrated you get.
I don’t even care what Susie wrote. I know it wasn’t true and know she had no idea. It’s just funny when people like you only want to know the perfect things that go on in this world.
If I report Hawaii gets a 4 star recruit, you would probably pee your pants.
If I report Hawaii loses a player, you probably cry, and wait till ST posts it so you can take it out on someone else. I hope you haven’t lost sleep on Black Mamba posting Dustin Adams has decommitted.
And for Black Mamba sake, the news better be true or the wrath of Mike Smith will be visiting him soon.
MistaB84!
No, for real kine. The LDS Church owns the Polynesian Cultural Center….along with its neighbor, the BYU-Hawaii campus. Most of the performers and workers at the PCC are BYU students who do so as part of their scholarship. Work study, if you will. Once class is over with for the day, they head on over to the job.
BIK
287. You like on the Big Island? I’m sorry. Stay tuned

Really hoping those local boys no go to UCLA. Stay home and play a big part of the Chow Dynasty on the way to the NFL. Please!!! lol
Yikes!
Take care wafan and Izzy!

Nice site, looks very organized. Finally found what Ive been looking for, thanks!firefall gold
289. Jeezyfo…..you are sad and pathetic. Sorry, you never have heard me react to posts about recruits, never. You are a wimp who claims to be the authority of UH sports on the blogs, you are sad, I am not frustrated at all, I am laughing at you, and many others are too. “If I report Hawaii gets a 4 star recruit…” Who the _ _ _ _ are you? Do you write for ESPN150? Are you are recruiting service? Do you really think people are hear waiting for you “breaking news”? Seriously, sad, you are not that important in here. Maybe not anywhere. You are a self proclaimed blog troll and you think you are better than others in this avatar world of yours. You are sad and pathetic.
Honestly I am not important either, the difference between us is that I know it.
Jeezy so was that tweet about Coach Kaumeyer a joke as well? LOL
pot meet keetle.
300
Keep getting mad … I love it..
I would love to see where I claim to be the authority of UH sports….
Just because I can get info from some people close to UH sports that doesn’t mean I claim to be authority.
Keep going though….. cant wait to hear what other rhymes u can come up with
289.
Nuf said…. again….Go ahead and come back with some nonsense about how you know everything.
299. The tweet came from a writer from Jaguarsblog.com Thought he was credible enough to at least post something
So who is in Samoa recruiting the Big TE? Best of luck to them in swaying the big fella to be a Warrior.
Ooooo, Everybody, jeezyfosheezy knows “some people close to UH sports” he is so important.
LOL……
302.
I don’t know everything but I def know more than you. Stop pouting already… It’s almost not fun clowning u at this point
304 Destiny Vaeao
Glad to hear the Kaumeyer deal worked out in our favor.
What happened to your Falcons this year by the way? Ever gonna win a playoff game?
307 was wondering which coaches are there recruiting.
Pouting, can you read? You are a clown, Tell your mommy and dada goodnight.
You should tank it in Atlanta next year and maybe be the next OC at UH
just watched the highlight video of John Ursua. People have been comparing him to Miah and Pilares, but with the kids escapability and change of direction he looks like braddah George Ornellas from Saint Louis back in the day. Maybe faster, but makes it look effortless and hard to tackle.
313.
Has way better change of direction at his current age in my opinion. Pilares probably has more breakaway speed. I think Ursua gonna be special though
You know you’re getting old when someone refers to George Ornellas as being from “back in the day”. It seems like “just the other day”.
possibly . . . sure does make it look like he’s not even trying though
actually, mid 90s isn’t really back in the day for most of us. Just trying to make some of the old guys on here feel older . . . hahaha
braddah was special
You got that right
did Ursua commit to us yet
307…tuoti
Interesting comments made by JD at today’s WAM committee hearing.
Athletics apparel making tons of $$$ for UH upper campus? Hahahahaha…doesn’t seem like that is the case at all, quite possibly the opposite.
310…Tuoti
320 . . . some say yes, others say not yet. Who really knows. Apparently there have been some clues on twitter, but other than that, nothing official. ST said earlier that there wasn’t even anything unofficial.
https://instagr.am/p/iL7e3/
325 . . . good find, but could just be family excited about the recruiting trip. Looks like the comments are from a relative saying that he has a recruiting trip coming up. Not much more, but definitely sounds like there is excitement from their end.
Georgy Boy Ornellas was special indeed. He and Nate Ilaoa shared a common style.
BIK
Glad to hear the Inoke will be retained. Congrats! Mahalo, Coach Chow!
Looking forward to someday seeing the other coaches. Not going to happen right now…
Yay! Hisatake! Mahalo! Good work.
Night all!
#324
thanks. to bad. looks like everythings gonna come down to facilities. we got the location,hawaii- we got the coaches,but we got no facilities.Sad, some HS have better facilities then UH. we could have a top 10 team every year, if the state would just invest. we would have to turn away recruits, not beg them or pick up scraps. the money football would bring in would be outrageous. hawaii would be a rich state this investment.
Great job Hisatake talking us up. Great job.
Destiny, rememba dis. you cannot always choose to go Las Vegas if you gotta go on a mission. 😀
If you like be coached by da best who is trying to prove something to himself and everyone else, you gotta go with Coach Chow. and he is not in Vegas. he is here. with us.
Go Coach!
a lot of visitors this weekend. expect four commits at least…again.
local boys visiting this wkd?
There’s a new wave of bloggers here now, most of whom have never met, I surmise. There as a time when we we are all faceless names.
Rasu Begasu’s (las vegas) Remembrance gathering this Friday will draw a lot of mainstay bloggers… those who came together under the local Karaoke Call gatherings, which first started with Rasu in 2008. Here are the 2008 gatherings where many of us met…or really got to know each other:
http://homepage.mac.com/smurashi/photos/karaokecall.html
See many of the personalities who still post here today.
Better yet, come down on Friday and meet the regulars in person.
Singing and RSVPs are not required. 🙂

Good morning Tsaikos everywhere.
Hoping for some more great recruiting news. Keep up the cheer, coaches!
Stretch, mahalo for that cheer link! Didn’t even know about that! Was real cool too!
American Samoa Govenor Togiola Tulafono coming Hilo to meet UHH peeps. he heard UHH growing ulu seedlings fo transplanting. he like know how day do dat. tell him trade fo ulu smarts 😀
good morning tsaikos, bhf2, ww, kekoa
A cold white Thursday, all!
Since midnight 8″+ of new powder on the ground. Looking forward to tomorrow afternoon when the rain returns.
Squabbles.
Same old, same old.
Good morning whitey, ww, kekoa, wafan.
get up! get up!!
an fo you doubters about our recruting skills, check this out. from Colorado 1/17/12 at 10 pm Colorado time.
okay dare you go, a chance in a lifetime to play for Coach Chow. Thats all it takes, a chance in a lifetime. for play quarterback right away, or wide receiver.
main ting, da brudda is coming to play for us! hip hip hoo raaayyyyyy?
d1 . . .
Hope #2 is safe and warm down south. Looks like it is raining there.
Best line on TV this morning — it would be easier to list the schools that are open.
I think every inland school in Western Washington is closed. A couple coastal schools are two hours late.
morning wafan, think you going get sum more white stuff. stay warm
and… no talk down Dustin Adams. da brudda wen make All State outta Minot. because he is good and because he is big. he was recruited before Chowtime, for sure, but if was me, i’d give him chance for face to face with Chow. things change after a face to face. i’m thinking others are a little habut, but not Chow. give him chance for work his magic, no put him down because the ND brudda is ova dare and not here yet.
but if I was from Minot, and had a chance of a lifetime to play for Coach Chow, I’d be thinking of packing my bags and thinking of going to the tropics soon as I graduate.
and i wouldn’t be reading some of the posts made by people who don’t know my situation and are just jawing and guessing.
Morning, Kekoa, Wafan, BHF2, Whitey.
Gotta stay warm! At least we not experiencing snow, but I had to scrape ice off of the windshield this morning. Careful, if you gotta head out, Wafan. I definitely don’t miss driving on snow and ice… with idiots that act like it’s the middle of summer, blazing by in their 4×4’s… (sometimes ending up upside down a mile or so down da road).
WW, just when you say upside down, going home yesterday, one car went off the road and into the gulch. the road side is wide and grassy, dry and absolutely no reason to go into the gulch, but the lolo went.
bhf2, dustin adams is big like the wisconsin linemen who ran us over. he is typical of the big midwest linemen and he going get bigger.
Too bad about Dustin. He has to do what he feels is best for him.
Funny how folks quickly thought it was something the new coaches did to make Dustin de-commit. Anything to point fingers and cast aspersions.
bhf2, plus he is an honor student, 3.5 gpa.
ahhhh…. you guys in da snow get all da fun.
remembering the good ole days. wuz July 1973. i wuz waking up in New Hampshire, just finished college and was gonna wait till November to come back home. but wen I woke up that glorious sunny morning in NH, i noticed was FREEZING outside. no can dat kine, no can, not in July. so i put in my 2 wk notice and wen speedy speedy hele back to Hawaii. 😀
yup, to all you recruits thinking about going to Washington, Oregon, if you go doze kine places den guarantee you going get da Miserables. 😆 but I also say you gotta be Miserable some parts ah yo life to appreciate da rest ah your life. das why i say being miserable couple days a year, like away games in da cold, is good enough. 😆
Lolo racing by. I hope he does not hit anything except a sturdy tree or pole.
Must be a young guy — they still think they are bullet-proof.
kden, gots to go. have a nice day gangeez.
hi ho hi ho
as@ not yo neighbah gots to go pee? 😀
BHF2 . . .
Da bugga whip ’em owt goin fahreeeeeezeeee.
plus this nick januska is another smart one. carries 3.3 gpa. plus he get speed. hope he has a great visit with da warriors next week.
looks like the coaches are not taking chances on borderline players, making sure they have their grades in order and can qualify.
d1, a little early, but pretty soon something going g-ring, g-ring, ok, ok.
who dat Nick? where you coming up wit all deze news?
good morning gangeez,
bhf2 mahalo for the update, and that is a nice quote about coach chow. the new staff is humping it pretty hard to make up for lost time. exciting times for the program.
wafan, be safe, ugly weather your way, i know some of it has been making it over to Ogden, lots of snow and rain on the 808 boys at Weber State, oh well…. looks like a Ramen week for them, haha
have a good day one and all, blessings to everyone and GO WARRIORS
here’s something interesting i saw at the Casino Del Sol All Star game that Tomey is going to be coaching at and I think Pollard is playing in. Sam Fehoko is playing in the game; the same player that left Texas Tech after 2 games because of a dispute about playing time. He left the team, and now he is representing them in a post season game. Is it just me or does that strike anyone as a “what’d you say Willis” moment? Great chance to play with everyone else who played a full season i guess………good luck and blessings to all the players in post season venues. 🙂
On aime, on adore ce site
wafan thanks for the pictures, looks great
Great Morning All!
whitey,
Stay safe and warm.
You too, wafan!
Really like hearing about the progress being made in recruiting.
Attention Mainland Tsaiko Popsicles ~
Good day to throw an extra log on the fire and watch some *smart* football tactics on your ‘puter courtesy of D-1.
Then, cook up a nice big pot of Ox tail soup to settle things down and relieve the anxiety of not having any football games to watch on da tube.
No sense going anywhere. Too many crazy drivers out there looking forward to ruining your day.
Morning, gangees!
Stay safe up there in the cold white North(west). Snowed about 2-4 inches in FLG, too.
K, latahs….
GO CHOW! GO WARRIORS!!!
Pretty cool article…
http://www.thespectrum.com/article/20120118/SPORTS/201180321/Cedar-High-QB-Ursua-commits-Hawaii?odyssey=nav%7Chead
let’s see, if the packers had the ‘cheese heads’, i was wondering what a ‘chow-head’ might look like, haha. any ideas?
good write up on Vaughn overpowering some O linemen at practice for the East West Shrine game 🙂
GO WARRIORS
GO WILDCATS
Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂
Welcome John Ursua. Happy that you will be a Warrior!
Aloha Dustin Adams. God be with you always.
We are all fans here. Aloha kekahi i kekahi. Nuff said.
wafan –
You’re gonna get a years worth of snow in just 12 hours, the weather guys say… … be safe and warm braddah! Main ting no go outside and whip ’em out! 😆
Good morning, slugger, WarriorNY and Herr Buller!
good morning again Tsaikos.
check out sportshawaiidotcom 2012 and 2013 recruting.
gotta tell you, Coach Chow is on it!
I do not see any negativity on the actual posts about anybody going anywhere else.
so how come somebody make like Adams going anywhere else?????????????
who you know somebody dat knows somebody dat wen whisper like dat.
true story. dare I was driving through Minot, bought ice cream cones for da kids, and drove outta Minot, saw da wind whipping by, stopped da car, stood outside wit da back to da wind, and den told the girls to turn sideways, and day did, and da top icecream on da cones went flying away.
so…. why you like turn sideways on Dustin? 😀
Anybody know what is is policy for Thursday’s basketball tickets? Wahine and Rainbow
Warriors both play in a doubleheader.
#380 tanks for da good laugh – it’s a beautiful day in Hilo today!
BHF2 –
Is Dustin still a Warrior? Aloha does mean hello, too… 😆
DPK,
I haven’t seen anything other than the rumor above to suggest that Dustin is going anywhere else. No one in SportsHawaii thinks he’s going anywhere else, either.
Morning all,
I’m completely confused. Is Adams staying or going? I thought ST reconfirmed his status right after Chow was hired.
Wow.. I didn’t know that Dustin Adams was the Gatorade North Dakota football Player of the Year … http://espn.go.com/blog/high-school/player-of-the-year/tag/_/name/dustin-adams
