Kazz,

I wonder if Kazz would use the same speech for Jason’s Mathletes?

…but you know Koakane has been there because of all the empty beer bottles strewn everywhere…. 😀

If Good Things Happen in Threes, then we are due for a win tonight!! Will follow up on NO. 1 on Sunday,

T-GATE RECYCLING: Once again, we’ll provide recycling services at the T-Gate which includes taking your contributions from home as well. We’ll be donating the proceeds in the name of Tsaikos to Dole Middle School’s cross-country program under the supervision of Coach Alan Inaba to purchase shoes, uniforms, and event day meals.

Nearly 80% of the students are in the free or reduced-cost lunch program plus the median five-person family income in the area is under $30,000 whereas at Kawananoka Middle School, about three miles closer to town, it’s well over $50,000 – so proper athletic shoes & uniforms are not a high priority for many parents.

Coach Alan and his wife and two of his students will be stopping by the T-Gate sometime between 2 pm & 3:30 pm before heading over to the Stadium to see the game. Their tickets are courtesy of a Tsaiko Lurker and the UH Athletic Department. Please welcome them in case DrDoc and I haven’t gotten back yet.

And Yes! This is Good News #2.

We’re coming early to help with the set-up including a tarp to cover the grills as well as the pop-up tent, two tables, four chairs, a table-in-a-box, recycling bin, microwave/power strip/cord, and very large trash bags – I think 65 gallon size. Then we’re taking off for a couple of hours to run errands and expect to be back on site around 3 pm or thereabouts.

See Ya’ll

GO WAHINE!!!! GO WARRIORS!!!!

d1,Brew,
I think Midori7 and Mrs.A-House liked it (the car)but Mrs las vegas is still kinda cool about the whole thing.

las vegas,
Will check it out for myself next time.

Time to get things together and head out.
No need do video for #1 son so will be at tailgate early then come home for #2 son game.
End da day back at UH game.
WooHoo….fun times!

GO WILDCATS!
GO WARRIORS!

Florida, beaten at their own house. That’s crazy. College Football Chaos ’07 is officially back!

Aloha. laterz…

🙁

Go Warriors!

Good morning-ish everyone!

ST — I was impressed by your words opening the section on the UH Offensive outlook in today’s “UH won’t be facing Tomey of old” game analysis…

The pass pocket is not a fixed architectural structure. Its dimensions fluctuate, influenced by the defensive push, fatigue, momentum and, most of all, the synchronicity between the blockers and quarterback….

Profound…and it flows!

…actually, sounds like something pride. would say… 🙂
Yup, that good!

koakane-

Thinking of your beer getting cold and watching mine get cold is making me EVEN thirstier. 😆

brew808,

I just searched through my guide that shows all of the ESPN GamePlan games that I can select from and the UH-SJSU game is *not there*. That is really sad for all of the mainland Warrior fans…

Quote from the Salt Lake Tribune about the UH-BYU scheduling. Interesting that BYU has 3 WAC teams out of their 4 nonconference games.

“It’s great to rekindle the rivalry with Hawaii. Over the years the tradition has included fantastic players, coaches, teams and games,” said BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe. “Add in terrific fans and stadiums and you have the ingredients of an excellent match up.”
The Cougars’ nonconference schedule in 2012 is now complete and includes Washington, Utah State, Boise State and Hawaii.

This BYU fan wrote an article that went out of its way to diss UH and the WAC in general. This article is about how BYU could win a national championship this season if a *lot* of things go there way.

Boise State proved that non-BCS conference schools belong in the mix, while Hawaii proved not all undefeated teams are necessarily worthy. BYU is different. In fact, they really should be given an exemption from mid-major status. Unlike most of these lower-tier schools, the Cougars have tradition and more importantly cash that exceeds many of the major conferences schools.

Hi brew808!

My trip went very, very well, but I am so tired! I’m used to getting 3 hours or less sleep, but this trip I had the combination of 3 hours or less sleep per night, 7am meetings (4am pacific time!), and 13+ hours of meetings or required seminars without a break. Any break I had in my schedule I used to meet with a company about potential collaborations.

It was fun being interviewed for 80 minutes by the National Defense Magazine reporter–especially since I got a free breakfast out of it too! I’m guessing that reporter never interviewed someone before who was wearing an aloha-print shirt…but I was going straight from the interview to the airport and didn’t want to wear a shirt and tie another day.

I wonder if the problem for ESPN GamePlan is something silly like how the game is starting on Sunday East Coast Time. I know that one site I use had UH games as being *Sunday* games and not Saturday games when it started this late. I wish they could start UH games 10 minutes earlier until we move our clocks for daylight savings time so that the games could start before midnight Eastern Time.

Feature article on RGM! It sounds like his teammates cannot catch the ball reliably, so he might be a valuable contributor soon!

Ryan Grice-Mullen, a former University of Hawaii Warrior, is a shadow warrior with the B.C. Lions, though he may be ready to step out of obscurity.

Despite the fact that few Lions fans have heard of him, the 22-year-old receiver who was added to the team’s expanded practice roster earlier this month is turning some heads in practice, most notably head coach Wally Buono, director of player personnel Roy Shivers and receivers coach Jacques Chapdelaine.

“We like what we’ve seen so far,” Buono said Thursday. “Obviously, we’d like to extend the process. A lot will depend on what happens after this game [Saturday night against Hamilton at BC Place].”

“I don’t think I’ve seen him drop one ball since he’s been here,” Shivers chimes in.

That last attribute is especially appealing, since the Lions’ receiving corps is suffering from bouts of double-vision, the shakes and flare-ups of Nicolson Disease. That’s in reference to Adam Nicolson, the Lions’ first-round pick last year who was cut in late August because he kept dropping the ball.

I think that RGM could help BC stop this problem!

By Buono’s count — and he keeps track of these things — the Lions have dropped 15 catchable balls over the past two games. Those botched attempts have stalled drives and limited touchdown opportunities. Not only can’t they latch their fingers onto the football, but the finger of blame can’t be pointed at any one individual.

UH basketball had a couple of big contributors from Canada, but I hadn’t realized that UH had been recruiting a LB out of Canada! Credit transfer problems between Canada and UH might be a reason why schools don’t look harder in Canada. Cordick would have joined UH before last season…so he would still be a Warrior today if there hadn’t been the credit transfer problems between Canada and UH.

It was difficult for linebacker Daniel Cordick to get college’s attention out of high school in 2007. It wasn’t because of lack of talent but more of a geographical issue. Originally from Vancouver, Canada, Cordick wasn’t exactly located in a popular recruiting area.

Still, hard-hitting recruiting coach Jeff Reinebold somehow discovered Cordick. At the time, Reinebold was at the University of Hawaii.

The Warriors were interested in the prospect playing in their program but in the end there was a credit transfer issue, from Canada to the States, which ultimately snagged the process.

In his freshman season, Cordick racked up 12 sacks and lead his conference in that category. Just three games into the season, the standout linebacker is already averaging a sack per game.

North Carolina began looking Cordick’s way first and is continuing to be in talks. Then just a few days ago, Reinebold dialed up his old Canadian friend.

Now at SMU, Reinebold and the Mustangs are looking for a linebacker in which Cordick could fit the mold with his 6-foot-3, 235-pound frame and 4.59 40 time. Cordick enjoyed hearing Reinebold’s voice on the phone again.

Frikkin pissed off they don’t have today’s game anywhere…PPV, ESPN, etc…what kine BS is dat!!!

…in SoCal I meant

for you bored people out there

Maui News feature on Jayson Rego!

Rego, the 2004 state football player of the year for state champion Kamehameha Schools Oahu, is now a redshirt junior running back for the University of Hawaii.

Three games into this season, the walk-on is also the Warriors’ leading rusher.

”Not really, no – I don’t think I would have believed anybody who told me I would be this team’s leading rusher, but, I mean, I always had faith in myself,” Rego said Wednesday between classes for his civil engineering major. ”I have been waiting my turn. It took a lot of perseverance. It is hard to explain, but it took a lot of hard work to keep pushing and never really thinking negative. Somewhere someone else has to have it worse than me. It can’t really be that bad when I am playing D-I football – a lot of people would die to do that – so I really have no complaints.”

One of his buddies from Iao, Weber State wide receiver Cody Nakamura, played in that game at Aloha Stadium three weeks ago. Nakamura had a three-touchdown game the week after facing UH.

”We spoke after the game – Cody is one of my friends,” Rego said. ”I am glad to hear he is doing really well, too. He went to Iao Intermediate, just one of a lot of guys who did.”

When Rego was playing for the Wailuku Rainbows with Nakamura and Rego’s cousin, Kaluka Maiava, a current starting linebacker for top-ranked Southern California, he would have found difficulty envisioning that he would one day be the leading rusher for UH.

”No way, I would have never imagined that – it was like a dream of mine to come to UH and try to make a difference,” Rego said. ”When everything started falling into place I was sort of, like, happy.”

Feature article on Yonus Davis.

The flash and the drive missing since the end of the 2006 season first reappeared at Nebraska on September 6. Running back Yonus Davis led San Jose State in rushing, gaining 58 yards on just seven carries. His 24-yard first-half run featured speed, elusiveness and strength. The 5-foot-7 senior broke five tackles along the way.

Davis followed up the next week in Spartan Stadium rushing for 143 yards on 18 carries against San Diego State.

Garret – For reals but they had the first couple of games on PPV here. Wonder why they would show the Fresno – UCLA game on PPV if was locally televised anyway??? Ahhh lose money…

aloha…..off to the tailgater.

food, fun, football, friends, and er, er, what was the fifth f?

okay, more food. oh yah, brain lock released, its family.

i guess i will get a dose of all five in few minutes.

so, will we see funaki in an option offense today?

go warriors!

Natural reaction when hearing that UCLA was trying to get Fresno State fans to attend the game.

Bruins coach Rick Neuheisel said he was not aware of the ads until he was asked about it after Wednesday’s practice, and several players shook their heads in disbelief when the topic was broached.

“They were inviting Fresno fans to the game?” UCLA linebacker Reggie Carter said.

If you don’t want to wait for the Brian K story to be out on TV, you can go to this link:

http://www.espnmediazone.com/mediacenter/20080926_Kajiyama.html

Wow! Upset city in college football today. Them Fresno folks probably gonna get plenty momentum when they head home to face UH next week.

Aloha, Tsaikos!

We’re heading out to the game in an hour. Would like to join the Tsaiko-gate but never heard back from Kazz on yesterday’s e-mail.

Anybody able to help?

Lopaka43

what’s your email?

#2 OU is on their way to beating #23 TCU, 21 – 3 OU

Garret,

Great video on Brian K.!

I think KAZZ got his pep-talk script from Lou Hotlz.

georgia getting blitzed by bama.
roll tide!

Good afternoon Tsai-kos, especially those at the t-gate. Represent! You guys have my permission to eat my share of the cocoa puffs that Kekoa owes me. 😉

To da mainland Tsai-kos – hope you guys find a way to watch da game.

Izzy – the LOIN? is that a Freudian slip? hehehehe.

I will be at some play at MPI tonight. So no game for me tonight. *tsigh*

See ya laterz.

Oh, forgot. Good evening Tsaikos! Brew/Garrett…you guys goin’ to be bloggin’ during the game? Hope all you guys have a fun and safe time at Richardson.

I’m ticked off. ESPN is showing the game on their gameplan schedule, but my local carrier here tells me it’s not on, what a bummer.

Oh, wee, guess I have to try oceanic.

GO, WARRIORS !!!

…and another from Texas checks in… 99club. 🙂

99club, are you planning to go to Vegas for the Sept. 19, 2009 UH-UNLV game again? If so, please fill in this survey….

2009 UH-UNLV Game Survey

Florida Ted-
I’m worried about Oceanic’s “no can order until 1 hour before the game.” Makes me think that they might have limited bandwidth compared to Hawaiian Telecom’s. Fingers crossed!

Yo 99club – Long time no hear from San Angelo! Yup – watching the ‘bama hurricane RIP through Atlanta! Wow! I knew the elephants were playing well but this is most impressive!

Re: Oceanic – I still don’t know of anyone (ANYONE) that was successful in getting the Weber State game. I heard there were lots of excuses by OCTV – but sorry – no excuses allowed. I did pay to get the Wahine v-ball game last Sat. It worked well w/ a high quality feed. I don’t know if they’re ready and can handle the traffic for tonight’s game. I still am hoping for ESPN GamePlan (and 360) to carry the game – even though most listing don’t show it on the schedule. The cold brewski’s sound good…. 😀 😯 😆

This may be very petty of me, but I am thoroughly enjoying the looks of pain and doubt and disbelief on the faces of the UGA fans. The game’s not over yet but I’m LOVING it so far. ROLL TIDE!

warriormojo, amen!

OOOOOOOOOOOklahoma!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀 😯 😆

Dang. Just turned on the TV to the WSU/UO game. Talk about ug-a-lee!!!

UO 56, WSU 7. Start of the 4th.

I guess WSU is not waiting to the end anymore to coug-it.

garret, glad you made it through your trip. sounds like it was relentless! thanks for finding that rego article.

What a catch! Alabama up 31-0.

Chawan, mine too. But the worst part about it was having to listen to all of the jeers and taunts from Georgia fans.as I was walking back to my hotel trying to nurse a broken heart.

8:08 remaining, Q2 –

Weber State 7, Utah 17 😀

Dang. is the ‘bama/UGA game a replay of the Sugar Bowl — just different uniforms.

UGA coach is a bit testy with the reporter. HA!

Brew, now now, behave, LOL.

Chawan_Cut . . .

You might want to get on 1420 early — before the mad rush by everyone else. Then it will be may be darn near impossible to even get on.

So far, this year, the feeds have been okay.

Oh dang! There go the duckies! About halfway through the 4th. Another long run. They might score again.

Jason Gesser needs to learn to enunciate. He mumbles.

Duckies score again! 63 to 7. Definitely ug-a-lee.

Looks like the hot breath of parity keeps on breathing down the BCS’ wretched neck again this year, just love it.

Love to see Alabama run up the score and give Richt a taste of his own medicine. Yup at halftime Richt had that “smug” look wiped off his face. He looked confused.

The birthday girl looks happy as does her twin, Midori7.

The pieces of cake are huge! Mmmmmm, chocolate. Yum!

The Duckie player, Unger, is getting quite a bit of face time.

Brew808:

…attorneys have hearts?!?

Sometimes kidneys, lungs but mostly gall

LizK . . .

Good to see the chair-holder-downers are on duty. The skies look dark. Maybe a good blessing is in the works.

Anyone knows how the volleyball Wahine did in NMSU?

Had to attend a child’s birthday today at lunchtime and sorry to miss the Richardson Field event – but since I wasn’t 300, I have to watch PPV!

Go Warriors!

Brew . . .

Brave. Not too bright, but brave.

Remember, it is always dangerous to tick off lawyers. They always get even after getting elected. And, if they are not elected they still “know” all the rules.

Hi J — any plans to be back on Oahu this season?

SteveM . . .

Is there anything special I need to do to put the Tsai-ko decal on? I remember you saying something about moistening one side. But, heck if I can remember anything more than that.

I am guessing the decal goes on the outside rather than the inside.

What kind of a movie is this? “Samurai Girl”

Yeah, I always walk around the woods with my katana. Geez. writers need to study more.

Hey there everyone!

Hows the T-gate going?Rob25?
Glad to here Georgia getting spanked silly!!!!
Good job For Waianae last night! My alma mater

Lets Go Warriors

Hee hee. Can anyone find the true Tsaiko in Group Shot 2 on Liz K’s blog? 🙂

http://lizkauai.blogspot.com/

Do you mean AddahknowSports feeding face? 😀 😯 😆

OK, wafan… for you and the few others who have the somewhat rare Tsai-ko sticker…

1. In this case, the back of the letters are adhesive
2. Carefully remove ONLY the solid white backing sheet
3. Place the letters against a clean, dry surface
4. Squeegee the letters on (you can use a rice paddle too) 🙂
5. Peel off the translucent front paper.
6. Admire what las vegas called his “chick magnet” 😆

Yup AddahknowSports

3. Place the letters against a clean, dry surface

I got eliminated in step 3.

It’s been one hour since Liz posted the group photo. Any guesses on whether AddahknowSports has finished feeding face? And if not – how many more plates has she put away? 😀 😯 😆

Touchdown Nebraska on 88 yd punt return! Going for 2 pt PAT – no good.

Va Tech. 28, Neb. 23, 7:52 4Q 😯

I was able to order the game through Oceanic… Let’s see how the stream is during the game…

i ate too much pizza
i’d better not fall asleep before the game starts.

Ronnie’s – Are they showing anything on the Oceanic feed right now? 😀 😯 😆

Me…. I’m still hoping for the ESPN feed…. plus I’m cheap. $12 bucks is two plate lunches or a 12 pack of refreshments. 😀 😯 😆

Gross! 😯

Iowa woman wakes up, should have smelled the coffee

So far, great. The oceanic feed is excellent, the screen is 13 inches and very clear and steady. If it stays that way, I’m very pleased.

GO, WARRIORS !!!

brew808,

I bought the feed through Hawaiiathletics website, went real smooth. Make sure you scrool terms and conditions and mark it as agreed. I’m watching the pre-game show and so far it’s flawless. Go for it.

Committed Road Warrior – I did not see it as part of the “Upcoming” games on ESPN360 like I saw the Weber St. game a few weeks ago.

Howzit Aunty Ronnie, if my stream start ackin funny I coming your hale for watch haha…j/k

LETS GO WARRIORS…

KICK SOME SPARTAN HEINY…

PROTECT DA HALE BOYS!!!

AURYTE!!!

Hey Ronnie or PB,

What your screen resolution set too?

And HOWZIT~~~~

duffer – I get full screen on mines one

Nice the feed so far, pretty clear…

Inoke starting??? How come they saying Graunke…regardless lets go boys put the pedal down, full throttle the whole game boys…

Hawaii IPTV feed looks great, albeit a little small in size with 480 x 320 resolution. Blowing the feed up to full screen makes the quality acceptable (for me, that is).

Feed itself is consistent and steady, no cutting in or out yet. Hopefully it will stay this way!

Aunty Ronnie – Fo shua…I just saying though haha

C’mon Hawaii what da heo the stadium get to many empty patches, get your arses to the dayum game!!!

Inoke starting…lets go baby!!!

lets go return dis to da house

Funaki no move the pocket bruddah stay focus, let the play develop you geff um…

Lets go BIG D

Good 12th man out there…

WTG Fonoti!

Ouch.

What’s going on!!!!!

Trick play

posting pix. Trick play, tricky penalty! SJS fans in front of us are helping us ID their players.

Timeout already…hmmm…sounds like Coach Tomey get something up his sleeve…sneaky buggah

Good field position to start the second drive. Let’s even this up!

Ugly, but we wen get the first down there.

TD!

Auryte Pilares!!!!!

TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, nice run. got IPTV running on my Mac now. Anybody else?

Auryte good job special teams nice tackle Spencer Smith

YEE HAW!!!! Special Teams!!! Spence Smith got him on the 18!

Then a false start = way to go 12th man!

Come on big D.

SteveM . . .

Thank you for the directions.

It will be on my van tomorrow morning after it thaws out. HA!

Does anyone have any coverage of the Damien/Iolani game?

Going be one good chess match game…Coach Tomey ate his TRIX cereal, silly rabbit…c’mon Coach Mack give em hell make em choke…

Yes…play wit da passion baby…lick em BIG D

Nice big grab by Aaron Bain. 1st down.

Nice catch Yoda!

Did that shovel pass actually work?

the uh website has a link to this site that is kinda like all the live game trackers

http://www.sidearmstats.com/hawaii/football/

Take a close look at Curveball. I think he looks like one of the later Curly’s.

I’m surprised we haven’t seen David Farmer in there yet. Maybe they have a different offensive package with Graunke and Farmer that just airs it out the whole time. Or, maybe Farmer is still hurt.

Punt UH. 1st and 10 for SJSU inside their 5 yard line.

Good job by Grasso and STs to pin SJSU inside their own 5.

Steinhoff got burned by that DE on that 3rd and long play.

duffer,
espn360: thats only if your area has it.

Oceanic is doing well this week! Their QB blew that one!

Big bummer!!! intercepted.

bad series for our O. Off sides, holding penalty, (have to punt) holding on the punt return and then an interception. No rythym. Mistakes. No success.

Good thing the defense is playing inspired so far. Except for getting beat on the trick play, they have been pretty lights out.

Jim Leahey’s speech and intonation is like he’s waiting for Tyler to enter the game.

Special Teams has really stepped up this week. The D is it’s normal bad self. I think the offense will step up to. I’m hopeful that by next week, all 3 phases will be there for all 4 quarters!

Oh what a block for some yards after catch!

Nice 22 yard run by Pilares down to the 2 yard line.

Yee Haw!!! down to the 2 yard line on a shovel pass!

Auryte!

TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 rushing tds???? what’s going on here! heh.

looking GREAT!
14-7 Warriors!

When was the last time the Warriors had 2 RUSHING and 0 passing td’s in a single game?

great kickoff coverage!!!

Kick coverage is much better this game!

DEFENSE IS PLAYING HUGE SO FAR…DAS HOW BOYS LAY DA SMACK DOWN!!!

Nice stop again big D.

hawnstln – that’s a great idea. I’ll send one too.

Lets go boys no shoot yourselves in the foot with dayum penalties…play with passion but play smart boys lets go!!!

50 yd punt. not bad. let’s go big D!

nice punt to make up for all these stupid penalties. just a little too excited over there.

What’s with the band still playing during the play?

ahh lets go dowling…

nice to see Rocky and Fale on the field lets go boys!

Alright Mouton. Nice sack.

Auryte Mouton

BIG D BABY I LOVE IT!!!

hey, Pollard is in. just goes to show what happens when you play well in the scout bowl.

Bain makes another catch

BAIN LOOKING SOLID TONIGHT!!!

Good scramble Inoki

Inoke sorry

Nice run Funaki.

Let’s go offense!

dammit! They have to shut up those drums when we are on offense!!!

That Hawaii Self Storage commercial is awesome. A bunch of safes doing the Ha’a in UH helmets. That is classic.

we shouldn’t have to be running for our lives. either the o-line isn’t doing it or the d-line is too good. we’re lucky funaki can scramble. he should be sitting in the pocket looking for the open WRs.

Here we go Kelly…Easeh Money baby…

Yee Haw Dan!!!

Auryte Iceman is back in akshon…

that is the Iceman we all know and love.
here’s to my LAME brother out there!

Yesss! Way to go Dan! 17-7 Hawaii.

Lets Go D BIG STOP BEFORE HALF!!!

Alabama def. Georgia in the Inbred Bowl

Good first half…

Boys playing with planny passion and heart…although can relax with the dayum penalties…

Overall pretty solid effort so far…OLine need to play smarter but it’s all good…

Ben Yee is being honored by NaKoa. Chevron is giving $20K for scholarships.

duffer- F&L say they hope you have a hole in one tomorrow!

My faddah dem went call me from the game…going nawts…sounds good to me!!!

Liz-
Mahalo for the stadium updates!

Ok, now they are messing with my audio from the half time show… What’s up with that 🙁

Liz, what song are they playing now?

Nevada crushed UNLV only 1 week after UNLV beat then #15 AZ St. in OT. Talk about a letdown game for UNLV! Final: 49-27.

I don’t want Tyler to play. First, he needs to heal up. Second, I don’t want to give the puppies any good film on him…

Yikes! Davis pushed his own player out of the way…

Good stop by Special Teams on a trick play by SJSU on 4th down.

The band played for us tonight Beautiful! grasso was practicing punts after the half. KO.

what was that? Then another penalty on the O-line.

Ayyyyyyy……..another INT.

thank you bloggers You are the only way I am watching THE GAME
Keep it up !

Defense makes another big stops in 4th down. UH ball.

AURYTE DDDDDDD

Way to go D!!!

Lets Go O, Defense is saving your arses… Lets go Funaki, relax you geff um, San Jose D is nuttin…play smart…

GGma – your boy is having a great game! I saw comments on another site saying that he’ll play on Sundays.

GGma. Dee holding tough. Sjsu is trying tricky stuff. The intensity in the stadium is very good and the fans re making a LOT of noise. We got the ball on downs on our 16 but are making too many booboos and getting penalties.

20 yards on the O line ….. at least one was on the O line again.

godfunnit
control yourself

GGma who is your son?

aloha brew 808,

mahalo for the props for the beast and weber state. game was ok, i didn’t see much from Utah for being ranked 17 in the country. but talk about feeling like the christians vs. the lions in a coliseum….more red shirts than ideas in the stadium. 49,700 at the game, lotta red, felt like i was sitting in a room full of rotten ume, haha

63 rows….how do i know, we were in row 62, above the cloud line, had 2 pigeons eating 4 rows below us, haha. very good band, and very loud and supportive fans.

i was with ‘the hawaiians’ in the upper rows, had to start my cheer ‘a’ole ha’oles’, loud and proud!!! 🙂

let’s go Warriors and let’s get that WIN!!!

Go Warriors!!!

ahem, i waved my bannah at da tv and hocus pocus an da 4th down incomplete.

yeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

Once again Funaki makes it happen. Great pickup of the first down.

Now it’s 2nd and 8.

Oline block dayumit!!!!!!!

i can hear vili doing his stupid yell crap in the background. someone go and smack him and tell him we’re on offense.

1420 says Mouton is questionable to return to the game. They were icing his shoulder on the sideline and he couldn’t raise his arm. That’s a tough one.

That was a great punt to pin SJSU in their own 5

i thought vili’s sons play football. shouldn’t he know when to yell and not yell? he’s been doing the same stupid things for the last how many years.

It’s a good thing the Defense and ST have been doing so well. The offense is still out of sync. We need a couple more scores for insurance.

If I know Tomey, he is going to try to run this down our throat..

more penalties, more personal fouls,

c’mon warriors

eeks another personal foul.

What is up with this?!

Hawai’i has 11 penalties… The personal foul penalties are killing us.

Auryte D

Run it back!

wow, is that short guy a coach?

Robert K. on 1420 RE: the personal fouls. “Young men will be running.” Laps baby, laps.

Let’s go offense!

Score some points!

This is a llooonnnggg 3rd quarter.

So, are we being that undisciplined or are the refs calling personal fouls every time we breath too hard? After all, this IS football not ping pong…

offense needs a drive….from the 20, let’s roll! funaki gotta make it happen, no excuses….let’s go boyz.

keeper,no pass, incomplete…make it happen

Dang! Almost.

Ronnie, we’re being undisciplined. Fumble Funaki.

Goal Line Stand

AAARRRRGH!

merry christmas from Warriors to SJSU

BIG STOP D!!!

FUMBLE STANDS….D is being tested….big time, watch out for the penalties…….let’s go

I will be blunt!

IMHO 😈 😯 🙁

TD SJSU.

yikes. Offense is off. Mebbe time to go to the bathroom.
Ok! False start. Sjsu back to their 13. Gets 3. 2 new nds goal brokeem by Mouton
Hike wide open received. Td sjsu pat good.
17-14 uh

Run the option from under the center!

dammit.

funaki, make it up right here.

Mouton on the KO is back to their 26. Fumble!
Sheesh. End of 3Q

Another fumble!

WOW…lets go boys football is 4 quarters not 3!!! Where the hell is Pilares…Coach put him back in and give him the ball!!!

The offense looked good in the first quarter, but the penalties really hurt us. Now they have to let the D get the ball back, then calm down, play with poise and put points on the board!

Reference my previous note, they are ripping at the ball. = fumbles. Gotta take care of the ball. where are the f**** offense coaches?

Oh no! Adam Leonard is down!

Defense needs to save the offenses arse once again…lets go boys!!!

here comes the WAVE

Running laps … maybe take out of the game and give someone else a chance. Too many unnecessary 15 yard penalties. Put some kids in that are disciplined and want to win.

Defense makes the big stop and SJSU misses the FG.

Throw to the zebra fg no good we need to score NOW!

Can we trade all of our QBs for Cameron Higgins? 🙂

One nice sustained drive would be good …

Funaki intercepted again on a very bad pass.

Why Funaki, Why…grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!

another int. A lot of booing

Will we see Graunke come and save the game?

Ryan Mouton….Graunke warming up!

We were really spoiled with Rolo, Timmy and Colt. Duh!

GRAUNKE IS WARMING UP, FUNAKI WILL BE DONE

the dee is working OT wish they would just getba dee SCORE already!
Graunke is warming up.
Curveball is a good spotter.

I’ll say it again…

Funaki is NOT a D1 QB. No arm strength, no touch, poor footwork. He never looks off his receiver. That last INT was tossed flat-footed. And this isn’t the only game that he has simply not performed! 😈 😡 😯

How much running does it take to ‘reprogram’ overly aggressive guys? hard on defense to hold up, but to be so blatant is another thing altogether

This is the defining moment for our offensive coaching staff this year. right here. right now.

Go Warriors!!!!

17-17, oh boy.

how many guys are going to call for Mack’s head on Monday? TG coming in to save the day? whew, pretty lean in qb’s

BC talking about TG saving the game against Weber State, c’mon, Weber State is a D1AA, wow

If we give SJSU enough chances with good enough field position they might figure out a way to beat us. What do you think?

Here we go Tyler, it’s your time to save our arse and shine again…

a passing first down!

They can (should) run against SJSU. Pilares and Libre had success earlier….mix in some passes… but don’t forget the run! 😡

This is a passing offense! No offense to Inoke!

Wow – I believe that’s HOLDING by Kia! 😯

Our Warriors are scrapping, for sure!

I mean Kia haha

56 yard field goal attempt by DK

Come on Kelly. We need this score. You still get ice in your veins?

WOW…this game is draining boy…sheesh…

Save our arse D, you can do it!!!

Wow this is going to be a long year …. BSU and FSU on the road. Hmmm.

good D. we need to find another punt returner.

We must score now.

Long way to go down the field for the game-winning score.

We keep playing schizophrenically like this and it’s gonna be a long WAC season.

Dang it. Interception SJSU.

4th INT of the game.

5 turnovers in the second half…

dammit
we need a turnover
or block their fg

The D holds again..

Now it’s down to a 47 SJSU FG attempt. and it’s good.

1:47 to go…

FG by SJSU. They lead 20-17. Just under 2 minutes remaining.

ok, this is up to tyler now

6 turnovers are ok if they are in the 1st half and you are still leading – or the other team has a bunch as well, but in this game…

Six sacks, six turnovers, hard to beat!

a sack with a 3 man rush!!!

Hmmm…Hawaii Offense WOW…what to say…they gave the game to SJSU…it ain’t over yet but they deserve to lose…DEFENSE CANNOT DO IT ALL!!!

GAME OVER!!! EXHALE…WOW…time for work the punching bag!

incomplete on 4th and 4… game over.

48 hour rule starts now…

and even though it doesn’t look like it, we can still win the WAC and win a bowl game. We just have to believe!

Oh well, and it doesnt get better next week in Fresno. Gonna get killed…

ONE SNAP AND CLEAR….FRESNO NEXT WEEK!

our offensive coaches gave away the game!

au’we. no discipline. the way we’re losing really sucks.

Chawan, I think this football team needs an exorcism….

That’s the game!!! If you were the coaches what do you tell the team? They must be sick to have lost this game. I feel bad for Coach Mack. Just too many turnovers, too many penalties…the O-line missing assignment, the secondary just a tad bit slow…The Special teams played much better this game. The defense played hard…The offense sputtered again! The penalties and turnovers just killed us!! And the next game is against Fresno!

Good night to my Tsaiko friends! Embarrassing & humiliating night for UH Football! 😡 😕 🙁

Not playing like WAC champions tonight.

ok, here’s the true test.
who will stick with the team for the rest of the season.

I don’t know how much we have in the stands this week, but I can tell you that the next home game will have a lot less fans in the stands. Just the way our fair weather fans work. We gave that game away.

I will Chawan… Even though it looks rough, especially at Fresno and Boise, I will be listening intently every time my boys take the field…

GO WARRIORS!!!!

Goodbye Funaki. Time to train up the JCs.

I really hope they figure out how to score points…

The penalties and turnovers have got to stop. Even with the turnovers, we would have been good if we didn’t give them over 110 yards in penalties – especially when most of them were personal foul penalty yards.

Our defense was great! And special teams were great! The time is now for the offense to step up! If we play the game we are capable of, Fresno goes down. If we play like tonight, it will be a long night.

Pauoa, this team might have won its only game of the season already. It is gonna be one LOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG year……

Don’t give up on the team! Don’t stop supporting the team! I hope that there is a good crowd for the next game at Aloha Stadium…the team needs the fans more than ever.

I don’t have much to comment on the game–instead of the 48 hour rule, I think I’m going to have the 30 minute rule and try to purge the game from my mind. A few things:

Lots of injuries. I’m guessing Pilares was hurt. Lots of other players definitely are hurt. Tyler doesn’t seem ready to play.

The coaches did a great job with fixing up the special teams. That was a huge improvement from the previous 3 games–if the special teams had been like they were against Florida, Oregon State, or even Weber State, then SJSU would have won much easier.

The OL has problems. However, remember that SJSU has an *excellent* DL! They rushed the passer well against excellent competition, so part of the problem with the protection was that SJSU was really good.

Penalties killed the team and it can be argued that penalties cost UH the game. That is sad, especially if emotions get out of control and the opponent gets free yardage that changes the game.

Penalties, no matter how you state it, shows poor coaching….

Amazing that the #1, #4, #9, #16, #20, and #23 teams this week lost to unranked teams! The #3 team also lost.

With this type of crazy stuff happening, remember that UH has a chance at Fresno State no matter how negative the feeling may be right now.

When Libre replaced Pilares it was announced to the press that Pilares’ return was questionable…so he was injured.

I guess we should also give our congratulations to Coach Tomey and his coaching staff. That trick play for SJSU’s first TD was huge–if you take that play away, UH dominated the first half! Without that single play, UH would have had all the momentum and the game could have been put away in the first half.

I grew up watching Tomey’s teams pull off trick play after trick play. Unfortunately, this time it was against UH. Tomey also got his first win at SJSU against UH.

Aloha Gang-

Disappointing loss to be sure, but not disappointed in the team… Currently watching the press conference and to see Adam Leonard say what he did, the way he said it was an inspiration. To see how far this team has come, through the adversity of losing their coach, famed quarterback to graduation, and the majority of it’s recieving corps, this team still plays for one another, and the love they have for one another is to me, the most important thing. Sure, we’re 1-3 right now… Sure the naysayers will come out of the woodwork, as they already have, but if we abandon the team now, what are we? Ship jumpers, fair-weather fans, complete and total losers in my opinion… So my fellow Tsai-kos and true supporters of Warrior Football, while this loss might be disappointing, the team is now at a critical juncture; and we as fans are at a critical juncture as well. We can either fold and become naysayers and fairweather fans, or we can support the team regardless of record. They say adversity builds character, I say adversity REVEALS it. From what I’ve seen, this team has a lot of character, although truth be told, it hasn’t shown up on the scoreboard, but the true measure of a man is not set by wins and losses, the true measure of a man is how he handles the adversity. So, Tsai-kos, what do you say we show our character and keep MAKING MEMORIES?!?!?

(off the soapbox)
NEO out

Wow, NEO…well said! What did Adam say?

Losing a game is not the hardest thing to watch…It’s the players’ disappointing faces which tugs at you.

Hoohiki-

Adam basically said “I hate losing, I don’t hate many things in this life, since you know I’ve been bless to be able to play football, but the one thing I hate is losing, so I’m real disappointed in that, but I’ll tell you that I’m not disappointed with my brothers on the field, to see how we’ve played as a team, and how we play for each other, I’m real proud of that, to see how far we’ve come…” Tell you man… I can’t believe these players, and all the adversity they’ve gone through, how well they adjust… I can see it in their eyes that they hate to lose, but at the same time, I can see that they still have that competitive fire in their eyes… One snap and clear…

NEO out (3rd time)

There is only one player missing on this team right now, Colt Brennen,

I can’t talk about this game right now, too upset and don’t want to be negative, but this should have been an easy win. Six turn overs, you can’t beat a High School team with that.

Defense played fantastic, special team was greatly improved, but we don’t have a QB, Funaki can’t play in this offense come game time, he keeps missing wide open receivers every play and throws right at defenders. Tylers hand still seems to be bad, at least I hope that was the reason.

If we play like that at Fresno, it will be another nightmare.

It feels so totally weird not having an offense. If we ever find one, we could be a great team. Off course, now that the team will need the fans the most, they will stay away in droves. Hawaii only has about 30,000 REAL fans.

But we truly must develop the JC’s now, at least as back-ups and if Tyler doesn’t cut it in Fresno, we might as well play them, nothing to lose anymore, they can’t be worse than what we have now.

Well, good night gang, I feel drained and frustrated, but off course will root for the next game and the next and the next….

now = no

There were a lot of empty seats….

howzit tsaikos,

is it just me or are we going from bad to worst?

that was truly truly sad. we did a great job at giving the game right to SJSU. interceptions and personal fouls. what the hell is going on??? im not one to point fingers but from what i see, especially from the penalties is that the players

1) have absolutely NO FRICKEN DISCIPLINE-ZERO
2) no respect for the coaches.
3) maybe the coaches lack the necessary experience.

there was that one foul…think it was number 70-something and Brian Smith came over to chew him out…he looked the other way and started walking away from the coach…the coach then follows him, chasing down the player and he continued to avoid the coach turning his head around and walking the other direction. NO RESPECT.

IMHO yeah its so great that you would have coaches that can relate to players seeing it wasnt that long ago that they were in those position. but i think that some of those coaches are so close in age to the players that there is no respect…they seem them more as peers.

GO WARRIORS!!!

I wish you the best!

did coach mack make the right choices in his staff? ….season is young…sort of…so i cant totally say…but if i was just to make a call right now…no…staff seems incompatible.

its gonna be the 5th game of the season and i dont think we have figured out who our QB is…on that note that leads me to Rolovich…. lets just say if mack said “he is young and although not very experienced, he will evolve to be a contributor to the team” i think people would be more sympathetic….but for him to say “he is one of the best QB coaches i know…well that kinda equates to a lot of things”

i really dont know what else to say…i hope we change and make adjustments…to be honest…i am a fan, lived through vonappon and will continue to back the warriors through wutever…but i am realistic…at this rate we do not have a winning season….period…lets hope the warriors work hard to improve and get their butts in gear.

on a more positive note…the defense………..*APPLAUSE* they did excellent!!!!!! =)….they really prevented what could have turned into a ugly score in the end. hats off to them and continue to do what you do guys!

I agree with iwonder. personal fouls on the offensive line are fricken killing us. even last week at OSU, we drive the ball down, score and touchdown and we get a fricken personal foul so we kick off from the 15. the offensive line has no discipline. i hope that the coach can get their attention.

how can an offensive captain lead the team when he is getting the personal fouls. i understand playing hard with an attitude but it’s just stupid. i see it happening in practice and it carrys over into the game. to me, that isn’t too much of a “team” player and definately shouldn’t be a captain if it continues.

When San Jose was on the field already and the warriors came out it looked like there was going to be a riot. San Jose came onto the field and there was a lot of verbal and hand gesturing between the two teams to the point where the refs and the coaches started backing both teams up. It seems to me that Hawaii took it personal and let it interfere with their game. Stupid penalties both d-line and double stupid o-line. Hawaii acted like they wanted to fight more than play ball..

stretch wot choke chain you mahu

liz – tell pride i will call them at 530 when I wake up to go golf.

koakane – btw, where were YOU last night??

wea you now my chain broke and I hear your’s still short. even Steve Tsai says no olos

people tend to exaggerate about things like this thats why. hahaha

evening Tsaikos.

Disappointing evening. Not much confidence in the offense. Defense did great. Team need to get working on FSU tomorrow. Short week.

Nite nite. Esme and out. whooosh.

Calling it a night.

See you all later.

Looks like Rocky might be gone for the season…

history is made. ST has attended his first T-Gate, albeit afterhours!
The Kekoa Ohana has left da Cabana. 😆

LizK,

Be sure to “rehydrate” him properly. He was having blurry vision in the press box.

meant to say there’ll be a lot of coaching/teaching…

“You’re never as good as you think you are when you win.” “You’re never as bad as you think you are when you lose.” -Dick Tomey

Good morning Tsaikos…

The good news is that we can fix the penalty issue right away. As for the turnovers, if someone told me yesterday that we were going to have as many as we did last night I would of expected to see a blowout loss. Instead, our D kept it close.

Pomai:
20-17 Hawaii over Fresno.

#700 🙂

I confess. I fell asleep during half-time. The way they played in the 1st half showed some bright spots on the offense. But, once Pilares left the game with the suspected concussion everything seemed to fall apart. It is obvious with the way the offense is right now the only offensive weapon we have is Pilares. If he is out for any length of time we are in serious trouble.

Hopefully, Libre and LWJ and Rego will return in full-strength very soon. Otherwise, as one previous poster said, we may have already seen the only win this team will earn.

Bulla . . .

Enjoy your time!

~•~~~~•~Good..Morning..Tsaikos..and..Warrior..Nation!!!~•~~~~•~

Whoah – the sun did rise this morning… and it looks like this will be a bright and sunny new day…. 😀

I forgot to post this last night…

Thank you to the person who “borrowed” my hibachi sometime during the game last night. I guess leaving the hibachi outside to cool off after tailgating is no longer safe.

Reading all the stories about the game to archive the quotes is really painful…but I’m proud of how Sol and Adam told the team after the game to stick together and not point fingers. If the team splinters into offense vs. defense and starts to point fingers, the season will go downhill fast…so them addressing the team like this was showing their leadership.

“No pointing fingers. Unless you played a perfect game, don’t dare look at anyone else’s performance. We’ve all got to evaluate ourselves.”

One thing that stood out to me–maybe just as important as the 6 turnovers UH lost was that SJSU had ZERO turnovers. In the 3 losses, UH opponents have ZERO turnovers…that is a *huge* difference from previous Mack defenses. As Mack points out, UH won games last year when they turned the ball over 6 times and 5 times on the road.

We did it last year, but we were getting turnovers, also.

Interesting that Mack singled out the OL for praise. Between the sacks and penalties, they sure struggled…but I agree that SJSU’s DL is very good.

Our offensive line played very well against a San Jose defensive front that is one of the best in conference.

UH -27 Calf Pups -21

I think Locker’s right leg is broken.

here’s one positive.
SJSU’s QB is no longer throwing for that crazy 79% completion rate. he only threw for 50% last night and is now at a season rate of 72%.
colt’s record is safe as just like my GPA, its hard to raise a % but easy to drop it.

wafan – Sorry about the poor instructions yesterday. I thought you were asking about tattoos, and not stickers! 😀

Brew . . .

Thanks for the correction.

C_C . . .

UH threw for a 58% completion rate — slightly better. BTW, if you are in Silverdale, there is a good Japanese restaurant on the same side as the Silverdale Mall. It is located North of the mall, toward Poulsbo. Sorry not much more help since I forgot the name of the place. But, the food is excellent! And, the restaurant in the bowling alley is more than pretty decent, too.

Great Morning All!

Well, it is a beautiful morning in Hawaii-nei.

Agree with much that’s been stated here:
– need to field a QB who can play within the base offense;
– lack of discipine is glaring on the OL;
– defense is a source of pride again;
– special teams is no longer a point of shame (with the exception of “shanked” FG attempts)

IMHO – QB’s have their own problems. They were not responsible for the personal fouls, holds, missed blocking assignments, and selfish play…. Somehow, the there’s a bit too much “me” in the “TEAM”. 😕

TsaikoGate was great, as always…

Nice to meet curveball. I wish his inaugural visit to Aloha Stadium had a better ending but hopefully you’ll be coming back again as the Warriors get it turned around. There’s nothing more satisfying than being there when that happens!

Big mahalo again to Nalani for the CD. We listened to it on the way home – it’s great! (too bad you not going be able to make good on the other part 🙁 ) It was really nice talking story with you and your hubby.
It was even more funny watching midori7 getting all “gaga” over meeting you! 😆

duffer,
You get one surprise coming.

Good Morning Everyone!

I have to vent…stupid, preventable penalties and stupid, preventable turnovers DO NOT WIN GAMES!!!…grrr…

OK…thanks…

I think Haka says it all in post #688.

Reality check time…we lost Colt, Bess, RGM and Rivers along with (and don’t hate me for writing his name) Coach Jones, Morrison, McKnight, Suan and Reinebold. We have a “defense-minded” head coach and a lot of NEW coaches on offense. It’s obviously taking time to “gel” as a unit and a team. I DO think they will come around and get it together, eventually…I just hope it’s sooner than later.

OK, on to a couple of other topics:

1) Did anyone have trouble last night with Oceanic streaming video? I’m in California and had to watch the game on my computer. Last year I didn’t have any trouble with HawaiianTel, but last night, the audio was great and the picture was good, but the sound and picture never matched up…it was really frustrating. I followed all of the suggested “troubleshooting” ideas, but none worked. If anyone has any advice, I would love it because there are going to be a couple of more games I’ll have to watch this way.

2) Just thinking about the attendance at the stadium. Now that we aren’t doing so well, I am sure attendance will be down. Since the stadium is so much bigger than most colleges have, wouldn’t it make sense to condense the size? What I mean is close off the upper half (yellow and red sections) and make those people “crowd” in to the lower sections. Everyone is always so scattered about. There are a lot of stadiums, even the LA Colosium, that have sections they don’t seat people in which makes the crowd more intimate and noisier too. Just a thought…

Anyway, it’s on to Fresno…if we can get it together this week, we can make it a good game. It’s going to be “passionate” so our guys really need to be disciplined to play the game by the rules. If we do, we’ll be ok…we are currently sitting with the same record as UCLA and they gave the Bulldogs a good game yesterday.

LET’S GO WARRIORS!!!

Mathematics is a beautiful thing! Jason and I proposed a formula last season that was quickly cast aside.

Jason – your assessment? 😯 😀

upon further review I take back my humble opinion

howzit tsai-ko’s and tasi-kettes it morning and hope you’alls doing good.

finally to ajoe/asports for the last minute costco shopping, james for being our fireman, okazu for dem ham steaks (da buggah meat man for foodland stores), kekoa for finally show his disappointment of UH performance last night and pride for clearing up we won last night game because we were good the 2 out of 3 phases in winning games ❓ oh yea to stephen for stopping by it was unexpected but may a dismal night at least tolerable.

hey wat any takers for kope prayer studies meeting?

Oops…forgot…writing from San Diego.

My son locked himself out of his car so gong to his rescue with a 2nd set of keys all I had was the radio and lost reception at times…..This game made me sick, sick, sick. Turnovers and penalties…. last in WAC how bad is that, let SJSU hang around long enough to win it.
The coaching staff brings confidence or the lack of it. Coach Mack needs to brings his staff together. I agree with #695 SillyGorn. and whats with the third down conversions. This should be a wake up call. Gives some reps to other QB’s until Grunke is healed, Inoke just isn’t getting the job done, which is sad .

Warriors forever

Greetings and Blessings Warrior Nation! 🙂

I’m not the same caliber analyst as some of our more brillliant posters like say, Jason or Pride, but here’s my take on things:

First and foremost, get Tyler healthy. He would not have the kind of night he had with a healthy hand and wrist. When he’s healthy, that missing component, the offense, will show up big time. With a little more consistency, Inoke can do the job too, but I think our world turns on a 100% healthy Graunke. IMHO.

Defense. Now they know what they can do. They’ll have to keep playing with that same level of execution and intensity. We can all be proud of their play last night..

Better play from special teams, but they still need to improve.

As disappointed as we all may feel, our team can still become a much better one. All of the pieces aren’t in place yet, but the defense has set the standard. It’s hard to see at this point, but the offense CAN be as good as the defense was last night. Six sacks indicates that your offense is sputtering, and that sets up the turn overs.

Lots of hard work ahead, but the Warriors can do it.

First of all,mahalo to all of those who helped make Coach Alan Inaba, his wife Lisa and his first two students from Dole Middle School welcome at yesterday’s T-Gate. More on how they got there later on.

We haven’t sorted the HI-5 stuff yet, but it looks as if there’ll be another $25 going to his after-school program.

Second, I asked Jason after the game to write one of his on-point anaylses of last night’s game because I’m not comfortable about making public comments about a sport whose inner workings I’m still deep into learning from the ground up.

Unlike baseball where I probably attended my first game at the age of six months and was playing seriously by the time I was six or seven even though I was a girl, football was really pretty much a mystery until a decade or so ago when digital television became the broadcast/cable standard with incredible camera technologies.

Having said that, I did share some game observations with Jason last night at the post-game gathering at the cabana about the strong defensive line overall, the horrendous number of penalties, the lack of communication between the coaches & the players, and the key mental errors which set in motion what happened after that.

Mahalo for those of you who’ve taken the time to write comments and observations about football which added to my knowledge base.

Have a lot of work to do today so I won’t be back until much later, but

Sorry for the double post – the website is acting up because all of my last sentence did not get posted.

Have a lot of work to do today so I won’t be back until much later, but once again mahalo for supporting Coach Alan’s prgram. We’ll be collecting recyclables again in two week.s
