UH loses sixth in a row

I wonder if coaches have wondered aloud how come so many unforced errors? the mental preparation,who is in charge of that?

C’mon Warriors! It starts with each one of you stepping up!

Hey ST

you up kinda early, huh?

Quick 6! 😀

Lucky 7! Sorry BHF2 to break-up your streak.

What’s the weather like?

Hiya TChahng

where are you now and hows the weather?

howzit?

only twenty errors?
i was just learning to forget about it.

watchin da refffn last nite’s kahuku castle game,

dat was a reffin shame.

back from donut run, won 5 bucks on v slots
Good Omen? or just 5 bucks?

wit 5 extra bucks you can go Ozen tonight.

before i hit the sack….

the embattled captain stood his ground, he realized it was all on him. no back door exit, no blaming second lieutenants, no excuses. he had to lead the company.out of the danger zone.

with that in mind, next year started yesterday, coach. show me some cajones. i know you’re tough; show me you’re tough. talk like you’re tough. and smart. lead my Warriors!

Go Warriors.

good morning Tsaikos,

Warriors need to show up and man up and take care of Nevada’s QB once and for all. make him a kadoosh mannequin.

going to be 48 degrees in Missoula today with 25k rabid Grizzly fans….mrs. bulla would not allow me to make and bring my coveted t-shirt “Muck Fontana’ on the front. i figured if it worked for Boise, what the heck???

congrats to kahuku and the donkeys, good wins last night, thought both games were very good. if kahuku didn’t have that transfer kicker from FL, it would have been a different story.

GO WARRIORS
GO WILDCATS (X2)

Ferd’s article mentions that the spread is now up to 28.5…this would be a great upset if UH can win today.

I’d like to see the D force 4 turnovers and UH turn each into TDs (28 points right there).

I’d like to see the O score a TD every time they get into the end zone. UH is one of the better teams in the country in moving the ball on offense if you go by yards or passing stats, but the worst in the red zone. Hopefully the coaches have a different scheme and the players execute it.

I’d like to see UH get an early lead and force Nevada to pass. Slow down the Nevada running game enough so that the offense can build a lead that forces Nevada to go away from the run.

A fine upset morning to all!

Time for the spirits of all past and present Warriors to rise.

Have a GREAT day folks as I am off to play my 4.5 Tennis game in Gardena and then to Magic’s 24r hr fitness in which I OWN the gym just killing these young cats with my 51 year old LEGEND game.

Dominated yesterday as I scored, “D” anybody up and ran the court to perfection. Won ALL four games FULL COURT !

When I left players came up to me and said “MAN I want to be like you when I get your age, how do you do it “Rainbow Legend” ?

My only answer was “it’s in the guava” young man in the guava !
See you good folks at GAME TIME on or before. GO WARRIORS !

Good morning Tsaikos. Good to see many are up already.

Good Morning Tsai-kos!

GO WARRIORS!!!!!

GO WILDCATS x 2!!!!!

Thanks duffer. Going for the conference crown today then it’s on to playoffs! 🙂

Good morning Tsaikos everywere.

Rainbow Cliff,

Warriors,

GUAVA UP! Lock an Load. Knock sum teets.

And a few katooshes here an dare. 😀

Go Warriors!

Warriors, IMUA!

Bring it early, bring it hard, bring it often…

…bring home the win!

BHF2,

You’re right. Starts from the coach first.

My dream football date would be sitting with Mrs A-House, Midori, uhfan808, PP, LizK, Kymry, and Mrs Bulla. Off course I’d have a pair of ear plugs and some medication.

😆

Morning gang on this FINE gameday and Halloween.

Hoping to see 4 quarter football today. WARRIORS UNITE!

Also, Hats off to Bulla & ohana roaming and cheering in Montana land. Go get em Wildcats

808ike ~ Will you be making loud crowd noises with the rest of us at the TV-gate?

Good morning Tsaiko Nation…it’s Game Day!

Go Warriors!

It is going to be a beautiful day.

Clear, crisp, fallen leaves, big win, and kid-lettes running around.

Whitey,
he doesn’t listen to me. I had to pay a “swing coach” to tell hm the same thing i’ve been telling him all these years. Go figure!

Wisconsin looks pretty good

duffer,

Thanks for the link. The tradition continues with many Hawaii players on this year’s squad…up to 54 consecutive winning seasons now.
What a way to end the article though! 👿

d1, good luck to #2 son’s game today and win the championship.

bulla in mizzoula!!! hey that rhymes. the beast is the EASTman.

Bike #2 Update
Tsaiko Donors

Bike #2 is in HNL. It will be delivered to the training room on Monday. I’ll have pics posted when the bike is uncrated and assembled.

IMUA!
Go Warriors!

Well done, Don!!!!!

Don Weir,

Thanks for arranging the Pearl Harbor tour with Stanford yesterday. Beautiful day to be out on the water.

Mahalo for procuring the second bike! Did they take the first one on this trip?

What were you saying yesterday about Na Koa membership?

Esme & out….gotta go s & d slugs, or at least water the lizards…

d1 joining us or watching at home

koakane,

Wish we could join you folks but….

It’s D3football central at home today. Trying to follow how the seedings might end up; Selection Sunday still 2 weeks away but trying to make educated guesses after today’s game so can make travel plans.

Will be cheering for Warriors from home today.

last night’s news
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJApR2J5tjw

Aloha Kakahiaka!
The sun is finally out and it looks like some trades are back!

See you from Kymry’s!

GO WARRIORS!!!

I’ll be heading for the ship with mom immediately after the game so won’t be on the blog until I get on board and buy some satellite internet minutes. This is the time an iPhone or similar–or wireless telephone modem card like ST’s is really nice. I usually can’t connect to free wifi unless I go ashore somewhere. 😐 I have not left the ship on two previous Hawaii cruises…

I will try to post my impressions and the environment of this 7-day Hawaii cruise. On board, NCL America is different from most other cruises…but it’s been 3 years since I was last on this ship. Expect less cruise director run activities since we are in port everyday…no sea days…and most people go ashore. We overnight in Maui and Nawiliwili…doesn’t this stir the imagination if we had a bunch of Tsai-kos aboard? 🙂

GO WARRIORS!

Smooth Sailing, SteveM and Mom!!!

Im stuck at work today. I wish the game was on ESPN360 today but it isnt. Gonna have settle for the audio feed. I’ll tell you this though, ESPN360 looks great when you have a fiber optic network at work.

if we play a big 10 team in the future, we don’t need to use their officials. their officials are worse than the wac. so is the sec. now when wisconsin comes here and if we are using big 10 officials, uh has to play 11 against 12. no sympathy for the big 10. they bunch of crybabies.

Sail on SteveM…wish I could join you. I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay waiting for the SupahFreak to come back to pick me.

Go Warriors!!!

I KNOW they can do it!

If UH doesn’t self-destruct they are capable of an upset

Red Zone TD.

Auryte Moniz / Pilares

This is how we should always start a game, take the ball and shove it down the opponents throat.
Quiet the crowd right down.

Great Opening drive; scripted maybe?

WOW 3 and out… D-E-F-E-N-S-E!!!

now, a 70 yard drive!

YaaHOOOOOO!!!!

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

TOUCHDOWN TAYLOR!!

WOW 🙂

Moniz is on fire!!! Receivers are on fire!!! Go Warriors!!!

Gotta stop the running game!

Nevada countering with the ground and pound

Answer back…. get back to 2 TD lead.

Man Nevada is just pounding the ball down our throats. Our offense needs to keep the our D off the field or they are going to be winded.

Answer that score!

I just came home from an errand, but if no one has mentioned it, the game in online.

http://channelsurfing.net/watch-ncaa-football.php?w=83

Like Konaboy said, Warriors cannot self-destruct.

Moniz releasing much earlier. Not waiting to long.

mac=no balls *sigh*

Well, 1st qtr thoughts… I think only 1 dropped pass? thats a big improvement, Moniz looks great, seems way more comfortable and his release is quick, accuracy gets an A. 4 penalties is too much though. D played decent, but looks like they will have their hands full…

replay looks close but too me that looks like a forward pass. But maybe not indisputable?

Another great series for the D, we gotta get another TD.

I like it!

Don’t know why Moniz doesn’t throw to Salas on short yardage

Dang!

I say go for it, you gotta mek strong in these situations!!

Why do we have to call a time out to decide to go for the first on 4th down? That decision should have been made after the 3rd down play was called.

Ka toosh!

Gotta give Nevada credit on that 3rd down conversion, that was a mean grab.

Dare say…rhythm?

Come on Warriors!

13-21-233-2-0…..who woulda thought Moniz’ line woulda looked like that at this point?

found the game on channelsurfing dot net, but man the graphics are killing me.

djmitcho:

I think the video graphics is the Nevada jumbotron that would be seen as if you were actually at the game in Reno.

CRW, yeah…it’s bugging the crap out of me..but hey free game

Gotta rock ’em back on their heels….

Regroup.

Wildcat update.

Montana, 23-10. 10:12, 4th Q

Linfield, 28-21. 2nd Q

GO WARRIORS!
GO WILDCATS X 2!

The grass is green… In case anyone didn’t notice. 🙄

Go Warriors!

What happened to Moniz? First Quarter he looks like Colt Brennan and now he looks like a fourth stringer.

He misses wide open Salas , Pilares, Taylor etc, Throws unnecessary interceptions and why throw these greedy downfield passes if you’re off by 15 yards? It seems, all of a sudden, Moniz forgot his reads?

Second Quarter offense, mainly Moniz, is costing us the lead and probably the game. I hope his concussion is not still affecting him, I hope they didn’t rush him back..

Well, at least for the first Quarter we looked like the old Warriors, there’s hope yet.

WARRIORS!

IMUA!

3 and out….

3 and out….

3 and out….

We need a play on D. We also need oxygen!

I gave up watching the score board feed. Very annoying graphics and angles.

Nice pass play…throw and catch

…nothing like getting catching tips from the Conditioning Coach!

Oh, my.

No points on the first 2 Nevada drives is a great thing!

INT in the end zone…#$%^

Aloha everyone! Oops, maybe I should have waited. (int).

Just finished with last client and happy to see the Warriors are playing well.

Hope everyone is having a great Halloween. 🙂

Go Warr…no no nooooooo!!!

👿

28 unanswered points.

Dang.

Do we have to bypass the red-zone just in order to score?

Still only 2 points in the 3rd!!!

Dang. This is disheartening.

the decision to kick was obvious. why waste a timeout?

# rasu begasu:
October 31st, 2009 at 10:30 am

mac=no balls *sigh*

4 down territory…need a TD!

Oh my! Touchdown!

(watch the game)

Escape from the “dead zone”. Good job!

Good job!!!! Here we go, the 4th quarter comeback continues.

Go Warriors!

Our kicking game is pretty bad.

Does UA make bullet-proof cleats?

Well, 1st & 25 is basically gift wrapping a 3 and out to the D, and our D was no where to be found…..

Game, for all intents and purposes, would be over if Nevada scores on this drive.

We need another one play drive!

Oh My wat an A$$

Lots of positives to build on.
negatives that can be corrected (I hope)

I heard that Jim Donovan is going to pay the extra $$$ to put Coach Mack in First Class on the flight back home.

Reason: He doesn’t deserve to be put in COACH.

Rasu – that was TERRIBLE – I mean, I know it was only $5, but man, half the time, we couldn’t tell where the ball was.

AND CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY WE CALLED A TIMEOUT IN THE FINAL SECONDS OF THE GAME?

Some positive things! Yahoo!!!

If we can stop hurting ourselves with stupid penalties that would be a great thing! The offense continues to move the ball. They need to not practice at Damien’s 80-yard field. D is starting to find themselves.

Updating the stat:

3rd quarter scoring this season:
UH 0, Idaho 7
UH 0, Fresno State 14
UH 0, La Tech 14
UH 0, UNLV 7
UH 0, Washington State 7
UH 2, BSU 10
UH 0, Nevada 7

Total is now 66-2 against D-IA competition.

So, the trend goes like this:
2006: +106
2007: +14
2008: -56
2009: -64 (66-2 over 6 games)

That should be over 7 games, not 6 games…but it really doesn’t matter.

D has outscored the O in the 3rd quarter!

Next week we will win
Pomai
UH 35-Ust 13

At least it appears that SMU will make it to the Hawaii Bowl, which should help the attendance. If the attendance drops too low, the Hawaii Bowl could end so SMU’s win today is good for Hawaii and UH.

Bo Mitchell got injured last week so JJ put in a true freshman at QB and it looks like Bo Mitchell might not get his job back. Until last week Padron was going to redshirt, so things changed in a hurry.

Padron had to enter the game against nationally ranked Houston on the road and completed 11 out of 16 passes for 141 yards and a TD with no INTs. Not bad for a true freshman throwing away his redshirt status.

Padron started today at Tulsa and set a SMU record for passing yards in a first start. He was 20-30 for 354 yards, 2 TDs, and 0 INTs.

If UH doesn’t make the Hawaii Bowl and any other C-USA team is there too, I worry that the attendance will be horrible and the bowl game’s status could be in danger…especially if UH doesn’t make the bowl again the following year with the brutal schedule.

Garret,
I don’t JJ will be any kind of a draw for the H Bowl
“Taps” playing in the background

“Best” loss of the year?

After the 54-9 car-jacking last week. I’ll be able to sleep much better tonight.

Offensive line had a pretty good game against those hyped up DEs for Nevada, I never noticed those two all game long. We yielded one sack, BUT… BUT, the holdings and the false starts might as well count as sacks.

Redzone… Redzone… Redzone… WTF?!?!?!?!?!?! Yikes! Same ole same ole… and sans wildcat with Funaki today.

Nice to see Paipai and Fonoti get some pressure in Nevada’s backfield. While it was few and far in between the effort may show some improvement on the physical status of these two as they cannot be 100% at this point.

So Nevada was giving upwards of 25+ points huh? SO WHO LOST MONEY??????????????????????????????????????????:lol: 😆 😆 😆 … GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!! ALL OF YOU!!!!!!! AINOKEA WHO YOU, BUT GOOD FOR YOU FOR PUTTING MONEY AGAINST HAWAII’S TEAM!!!!!!!! G-O-O-D FOR YOU!!!!!!!! 😆

My concern for the rest of the season remains in correcting past mistakes, while new ones pop up. How many times did we have to correct turnover issues. Today the offense didn’t fumble balls, BUT next week will they regress again? Today the offensive line didn’t yield more than one sack, but had oodles of discpline problems. Next week, will the false starts and the holdings cease, but will the sacks return?

So far, we’ve been presented with issues to correct. The staff and players worked on correcting those certain issues on a game to game basis, but OTHER issues keep poping up. Seems like the ole case of a bandage versus corrective surgery.

Overall, we did ok for a loss. No loss is acceptable, however, a complete blowout isn’t acceptable either.

KEEP YOUR HEADS UP WARRIOR FAITHFUL!!!!!!!! WE FOUGHT TODAY DESPITE OURSELVES AND ALMOST TOOK IT TO THE WIRE!!!!!

Said it before and I’ll say it again.

Colin Kaepernick in Florida, would make Tim Tebow’s rushing and passing stats look childish.

Green Eyes,
I may cut down the coach like you do.
But unlike you, I am a fan and will cheer on the tean no matter what the score.
Also unlike you, I do not hide behind several user names and snipe at just anybody that riles me.
I do admit to pointing out people like you and and several of your other
names that you use who feed off of the true fans woes or disapointments and in fact seem to take a perverse joy in rubbing it in and pretend to be hurt when rebuked.

I say to you as a fellow human being, therapy may help you in your twisted sense of reality that you are forced to live in each and evry tortured day.
Medication also may due wonders to your chemically imbalanced brain
which would allow you a normal interaction with the general populace.

Or just maybe, just maybe, allbyou need is a case of EXTENZ
Aloha

huh?:

October 31st, 2009 at 2:12 pm
Said it before and I’ll say it again.

Colin Kaepernick in Florida, would make Tim Tebow’s rushing and passing stats look childish.

Kaepernick would be a nice receiver for Tebow to throw to. However, to say that as a QB he’d blow away Tebow stats, now that is pretty childish.

Not “childish” just his opinion. who knows? maybe valid too.
Whats childish? constantly changing user names to pretend to be more than one person or making doo doo in your pants.
Now thats childish AND funnt.

rasu begasu

continue making shame of yourself

you’re tsaikos admire you

there is no way Kaepernick is even close to being comparable to Tebow. Please dont even go there..

KAZZ #270: RIGHT ON!!! With you all the way.

I’m happy with the score…..at least UH wasn’t humiliated.

postmanke:

October 31st, 2009 at 2:39 pm
there is no way Kaepernick is even close to being comparable to Tebow. Please dont even go there..

Why not? Surrounded by all the top notch athletes last season that Tebow had at his disposal, a better pure runner and a better passer in Kaepernick would have done pretty well for himself.

mctruck:

October 31st, 2009 at 2:44 pm
Wasn’t Pat Hill interested at one time in the HC position at UH??

How long ago was this? Well he’d feel right at home since he’d be used to the “Fire Coach (insert name)” statements here as he’s been getting them in So-Cal.

Kap doesn’t even come close to the passion and leadership as Tebow has for the game. not even close! He maybe a little bit faster but there is no way he is near the same caliber a player. I’m not too sure if he is even a better passer. Tebow’s decision making speaks for itself. I’m not too sure that Kap’s throwing motion would even make into a SEC starting lineup.

Kap is a very great athlete but I’ve seen him struggle in too many games. He is a streaky player but when he gets it going he can get it going. But not in the SEC

What is Mac going to do with our punter??

Yeah I say let him boom it.. if he out kicks his coverage, he out kicks he coverage.. these 10 yard punts has to stop.

With the facility advances at the University of Florida athletic department, the coaching staff in Florida, and the athletes on the Florida football team, a kid with the capabilities of Kaepernick would have flourished down there.

That’s all. 😎

MUCH better game- awesome moments!

What happened to the Beast????

THANKS HAWAII!!!!

Padron sets SMU freshman record
October 31, 2009 6:10 PM
Posted by ESPN.com’s Graham Watson

SMU true freshman quarterback Kyle Padron has the Mustangs still angling for a Conference USA West title.

Padron completed 20-of-30 passes for 354 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-13 win over Tulsa. His 354 passing yards was the most by a SMU quarterback in his first start.

Padron was named the starter earlier this week after staring quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell was ruled out because of a dislocated shoulder and a partially torn labrum. Padron had played against Houston last week after Mitchell went down.

The Mustangs are now tied atop Conference USA West with Houston, however, the Cougars hold the tiebreaker with a win over the Mustangs last week.

It’s amazing how quickly coach June Jones has been able to turn this team around and make it a formidable squad in Conference USA.
C-USA, Southern Methodist Mustangs, Kyle Padron

Kaepernick better than Tebow??? I like this debate

If we have a better running back than Alex Green, I would like to know who that is.

Prayers for the Beast, and the Bulla family.

Thanks, d1.

Prayers for the Beast and all that ail.

Yea for Coach Jones and the Mustangs!

Happy Halloween!

Quote from Jovonte Taylor:

On quick start…

“We felt we had the game.”

#316 . . .

A case of counting chickens before they hatch?

For a while it looked like Mack was back at the D’s helm.

Pomai . . .

28 us – 24 them.

Go Warriors!

Only d1’s Wildcats win today :0)

Warriors and Wildcats (the beast) lost today.

Wildcats lose to Montana in Missoula, whew, some officiating that would make even a blind man shudder, but we lost 31-10, cannot beat the darlings of the big sky conference…..

the beast was double teamed chopped block again, this time the left knee, not as bad as the rt knee….he’s just very upset. had a chance to play DE today, and every time he was the backside pursuit, a couple of tackles, a great goal line stand, 1st and goal on the 4 yd line and Montana went for it on 4th down…..stopped!

bye week, heal up, MRI monday, fitted for a brace on that knee also…NAU, in 2 weeks, he’ll be back. :(:(:(

frustrated for him……don’t mind getting beat, but don’t cheat…….whew.

Warriors had the lead I read….and then Nevada came back…….ouch

congrats d1 and #2 son……good job.

Tough one today Bulla. Safe trip home. Aloha to the Beast.

Good win for Boi$e….

Awwwwwwwwwww Shucks.

Watched the Oregon Coach only intensify from the second quarter on.
He had a plan, kept moving the offense along, was in total control of the game. and, he had the horses to pull it off. Masoli played great, their
coach was way better. Intense. Inspirational. I loved it. kept thinking about the Boise game a while ago, and how that man had a lot of class in handling his playmaker who stepped out of bounds at the end of Oregon BSU game. He didn’t cry, he took care of business.

don’t want to second guess why we called a time out at the very end of the game. don’t want to second guess why we called that other time out. don’t want to second guess the play calling in the third quarter.
don’t want to second guess why Moniz’s playmaking was not as spiffy in the third quarter. maybe inspiration has something to do with it.

SMU beat Tulsa. with a bunch of newbies.

I don’t want to talk about it anymore. I would just be guessing.

Contact: Ray Pagan (808) 282-6419 email: onerican@hawaii.rr.com

didnwe have some tackling drills? Could have sorn I read that we went through that.

Well, season is almost over. what the heck. Maybe we can take from this year and do thngs better next year. Ummmm, football stuff like, blocking, tackling, knowing the count so less false starts, being less predictable, blocking, tackling, catching balls that hit your hands. you know, football 101 stuff.

here’s antoher thought. since we can’t really execue the offense quite like JJ, why not do something that may be different. you know, like have a tight end so we can block better when we actually run in the run & shoot.

Oh and before we start next year, be sure that ther is instilled and overall team pride and culture of team winning. Watching Boise, Oregon, Texas, teams with winning ways, you see that this was the initial block that went into the foundation of those teams.

there really needs to be a true exhibition of leadership for this to happen.

hey, duffer, maybe UH needs a “karate” or “judo” or “aikido” master be a guest instructors to show the moves necesary to BREAK the holding that’s going on – they can practice during the off-season for next year!

Involved in a discussion with some people here and I almost forgot…

Anyone remember that first Nevada 4th down attempt? Kaepernick never left the field after the failed 3rd down conversion, YET we sent out special teams unit on the field!!!!!!!

Luckily there was a holding call on Nevada because that play was converted.

My goodness….

DEY U GO WAHINE!!! DEY U GO!!!!!!!!

Good HS Girls VB final.

Go KS Kapalama

For the first time in a while I wan’t embarassed, frustrated, yes, but I could see us next year going from last to first, without straining my imagination,

Again, this game turned on five plays, drives me nuts, you put those five plays in our favor and we win. Every game it’s always those darn five plays, with Colt and the Dread heads, those plays went in our favor.

I expect us to keep improving with each game from here on in and next year, we’ll surprise a few people. Too bad we have to go to Boise, their psychadelic carpet is always worth 14 ponts for them.

Mr. Weir,

No. Thank you sir for your work with the football progam!

DPK,

Don’t think so.
Got a text from Aloha…SLS, 7-0.
That was quite a while ago though

didn’t oregon get dumped by boise? the tv guys had oregon leaping by boise. how you figuha? maybe usc would get smashed by boise too. didn’t boise win all their games? no make sense, but the big boys no like give da wac any money for bcs so ignoring da wac.

A-House – glad someone else saw all the non-called holds.
Thought I was seeing things…

re: Gambling Today’s Game for Wussupdoc

Most places in Vegas lacked any line at all. There might have been an opening line of Neveda -25 but that quickly disappeared and the lines were deleted.

Even in Hawaii people found it difficult to find a house with a line to play (for fun). Needless to say lots of people actually SAVED money on this game and lucked out as many would have given the points and taken Neveda.

As too how much money is being “played” with for fun in Hawaii on this particular game is a tough question. I remember reading a “guesstimation” of how much money is gambled in Hawaii on sports and will try and look for the article.

Thanks D1- Any updates?
And congrats to number two and crew!

DPK,

per HawaiiPreps.com
KS 21, SLS 7.
Congrats Warriors.

Another first for Kalaepohaku, no Div I wins on the season. 🙄

UCLA beat Stanford in wvb in 5 sets.

Green Eyes ~ Who’s Kokea?

JJ at SMU went with true freshman quarterback today. He looked better than Mitchell. Maybe there will be a controversy when Mitchell comes back. After SMU got 2 consecutive false starts JJ got so excited he ran on the field and got an unsportsmanship penalty. JJ is sure rushing a lot at SMU. He had 41 attempts this game. And only 20 passing.

ST,

Hope Moniz forgets about the loss. It wasn’t on him. Although it shows his passion to want to win. That only helps us in the future and his development into a good QB.

ST,

Better than taking the loss easy…haha jk.

Tell him not to worry about it, he has 2 more seasons to play and when u are down like this there is only one direction you can go. Things will hopefully get better, and if they dont the bright side is he got to start in Div-1 football when he was technically 3rd/4th string. Gotta just enjoy it.

Good Morning Tsaiko Nation, TOUGH loss as hopefully “WINS” will be due vs. Utah State and New Mexico State. Can not give up as the TEAM is hurting and they need ALL the support that they can get.

Season can be salvage with home wins as I will be in San Jose from Friday until that Sunday afternoon with Rhonda coming up with me. We are invited guests of Dr. Don Weir who I can’t say enough superlatives to describe this GREAT gentlemen of leisure wealth and LOYALTY to the Warrior Football Team

Don is an ex-rainbow warrior and stellar wide out for the bows in the 70’s as I came along in the mid 70’s SO I don’t find it as a coincidence in how we met but DESITINE to meet with our love and athletic background of playing for the rainbow warriors !

You could not ask for a better leader and person in Dr. Weir as he takes the lead role on so many occasions and make it happen in his support to the Warrior Football Team and ALL of UH athletics. His leadership in Na Koa will go in the right direction only because his COMPASSION and LOVE for Hawaii is the focal point for his existence as I urge ALL who may read my post to join him in support to Na Koa as he leads it to a STRONG support progam to our Warrior Football Team. In San Jose I will be staying at the Montgomery Hotel AND if any of you GREAT Tsaiko folks will be attending I will be HONORED to be in your prescence !

Finally to Duff, Dittohead, Warrior Mojo, Green Eyes, Kekoa and Las Vegas I want to say to you gentlemen that “I LOVE YOU ALL” as I will be praying that the misunderstandings and under tones that has happen will subside and that the true GREATNESS that you ALL have will come out as I respect ALL of you SO much as I have had the distinguish pleasure of hugging Las Vegas, Kekoa and would not let go Warrior Mojo when I met him in New Orleans.

DittoHead I enjoy reading your intelligence and duff I find your post’s on the wsn insightful and objective reading kind sir. Green eyes ALL I can say is MAHALO for just sharing your thoughts and LOVE for the Warriors because initially my Hawaii friends that is why WE are all here is our LOVE for our young men who sweats and give out their HEARTS to play for Hawaii, your STATE, your TEAM !

To ERR is human, to FORGIVE is DEVINE Tsaiko Nation as we need to remember that in our daily lives and the people we may have had misunderstandings with as LIFE is not promise and I when my time comes I don’t want to leave you knowing that I have had “ILL FEELINGS” with any one only because I want to see you in heaven and smile with you as we grace the gates together ‘heart to God and hand to man”.

Have a BLESSED Sunday good folks of Aloha State and MAHALO for what you do in embracing our “OHANA” together. Simply The Best, Better Then All The Rest” ! Vaya Con Dios ! Sincerely, RainbowCliff.

Well Tsaiko Nation, it’s 4:15 in the morning as I head back to get some sleep as I woke up TO energize for the rabbit and his drum beats keep going and going and going.

Have a GREAT day as it is so long for now but NEVER forgotten !

I’d like to see Coach Tormey with the responsibility of game clock management. Unless I’ve missed something, Coach Tormey is the only coach on our staff that has D1 NCAA head coaching experience.

Also, would like to see more from our “defensive coordinator” Cal Lee. As far as I have obeserved from last year, Cal Lee just seems like the LB coach still only with the DC title. Coach Mack says he (Cal Lee) and himself craft the defensive plan every week. However, still see Coach Mack speaking to the defense as if he’s the titled DC.

I’d like to see Coach Mack allow more room for Cal Lee to make adjustments and calls on defense since that is his titled position on the staff, not sure if it would be better or worse, but overall it may free up Coach Mack to worry and focus more on game time management when necessary and crucial.

Good morning Tsaikos everywhere.

Bryant Moniz,

hats off to you! keep working at getting better, young man.
same to your teammates, my Wariors.

you guyz neva stink up da place! 😀
No, you neva! I get hope we headed in the right direction.

Now, the miscuses from the paid decision makers. hmmm….

Go Warriors.

Dr. Don Weir, good job on you! good job on the vision from the Na Koa brain trusts.
btw, some ideas…
next year, how much extra going cost to “allow” students to storm the field like…Oregon, USC, Ohio St., Florida, S. Carolina, Navy, etc?
how would you get Aloha Stadium security mgt. to go take classes from stadium management types at those school stadiums? it just seems like
we could finer tune fan participation so that, win or lose, the stadium is filled, people get hope for a fine season. jmo.

bighilofan2,

The problem with letting people storm the field is that when they did that in 2007 some “fans” stole Warrior equipment like helmets that the team needs to play! UH had to beg for the equipment to be returned because the players needed the custom-fitted equipment to play the next game.

Lots of other schools let their fans storm the field and I never heard of equipment being stolen…

Green Eyes ~. Whoa pony horse! You better be careful what you say to me…or “Kokea.” Go throw your tantrum on some other blog.

I don’t recall seeing you step up to put your money where your mouth is in supporting UH sports! I don’t recall seeing you donate time or money to the many worthwhile charities we all contribute to.

Talk is cheap. Show me your true colors. Show me something good. Ours are written in the archives of this blog, and what we’ve done in the community. We don’t hide behind our blog names like you. Only cowards do that.

Any time you want to step out of the shadows and say something to me…you know where to find me. Otherwise, this is the last time I will waste my time addressing your petty little issues.

bighilofan2,

You might like to know that the Texas football team *always* goes to the fan section in road games and sings their Alma Mater after the game. This is no matter if the team wins or loses. In 24 years that I’ve followed that team, I’ve never heard of the team not showing their appreciation of the fans and they always sing The Eyes of Texas after the game.

You might like to know that after SMU won at Tulsa, the entire team came over to the section where the SMU fans were and celebrated with them. The fans got photos and got to share in the moment, then the players went to the locker room.

It isn’t a very long drive from Dallas to Tulsa, it isn’t like the fans had to fly 3,000 miles to support the team, but the players still showed their appreciation of the support.

yu not going get a big 12th man unless you make the 12th man big.

and that includes effort by the coaches…. AND Aloha Stadium. I’m talking about a plan….

its always easier to just say no. Last nite, when Oregon beat USC, the security coulda kept the fans off the field. Oregon Security coulda taken
lessons from Aloha Security. 😆 betta yet, Army security and Navy security could take lessons from Aloha Security. Condition orange. 😆

Here is another stat that is over the time Mac has been head coach at UH:

Hawaii is now 0-11 when trailing at halftime (home and away) vs. Div 1-A teams.

It looks like Nevada’s players were talking before the game about how they needed to beat UH so that Nevada could play in the Hawaii Bowl…I don’t know if they would be a good draw in Hawaii. But aside from UH I don’t think any WAC team would be a good draw.

By beating the Warriors, 31-21, Wolf Pack players figured they could help knock UH out of its hometown Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl slot while enhancing their own chances of playing in the Dec. 24 game at Aloha Stadium.

“There was a lot of talk in the locker room about it,” said running back Vai Taua, who ran for 127 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries.

Taua, a junior, said, “A lot of the seniors went (in 2007) and they’ve been telling the others guys about it.”

Good morning Kekoa.

hey, da poor toes [Morgado/Furtado/Silva/Moniz/Estes/Soares] repping, good, huh!

I forgot to, “get forget.”……bwaaaaahahaha!!!

Positive thoughts for all the injured Warriors and ‘Cats.

Bighilofan2, MAN you get me fired up as your passion for the Warriors are AWESOME with your pidgeon lingo that NO BODY can mistake but you and you alone KIND SIR !

I have your poem you wrote on “make the _________call” Man I
laughed my okole off when I read it as I wrote it ALL down and when I see you WE will read it together as it was so priceless as you got to have some Edgar Allen Poe in you bra !

Always a pleasure to read your posts as I reflect in Vegas you wearing your Warrior Sponge Helmet and your cape banner “MAN” I was impress as I swear you became “Super Hawaii Warrior” as Bat Man couldn’t touch you even if he was looking to Robin for back up.

Take care Big Hilo and MAHALO for being the unique and LOYAL fan that you are to our Warriors ! Wouldn’t want it any other way !

On the play where Nevada intercepted Moniz in the end zone, it turns out that Nevada had scouted UH well and prepared for an interception when UH used the play. If UH scores a TD instead, they would have had an excellent chance to win the game…so, good coaching and scouting by Nevada’s coaches.

“Doyle probably picked that pass off about five times this week in practice, and it just was nice to see something go from practice to the field,” Bethea said. “Like I said, they score that touchdown, that’s a big touchdown. It gives them the momentum … that probably set a tone for the defense on finishing the game.”

Just a heads up — there is a two hour difference between there and the West Coast.

I finished gathering the quotes from the game. I even forced myself to read the Reno Gazette-Journal and the Nevada Appeal to get the quotes they had from the game.

#401- it was probably a picture of you with rasu begasu! 😎

Have a great day, everybody- and don’t eat too much “leftover” candy!!!

Great Morning All!

I suddenly feel just a little closer to wafan and the other mainland Tsaikos…about an hour closer! 😆

Certainly scouting is a part of every team’s game prep but it still comes down to execution in the game. There’s always another option available on every play; it’s a matter of the playmakers making the “right” choices.
I’m fairly certain the ’06 and ’07 offenses ran that same play with better success. I’m equally certain that this QB will get it done differently in the future when they run the same play.

Utah State is up next.

Alex Gerke returns to Hawaii as Assistant Football Coach, under USU coach G Anderson, who last year was a assistant at Utah. they
lost to Fresno by 4. coming to Honolulu with a 2-6 record.

coach better say something really special soon if I’m gonna fly Honolulu Sat and put my bannah at risk. tell me he’s gonna make a better effort of getting fan participation, that he recognizes the fans and he’s working on a plan, will talk things over with others including stadium officials… say something. no need have a plan just yet, but let me know he’s listening and wants us all in this mud pile together.

and coach, just sewz you nose you’re not alone, Kevin Jakahi in the Hilo Tribune Herald said this morning “BIIF {Big Island Interscholastic Federation – Girls Volleyball} Blanked As Usual.” That “As Usual” is a
bad play on words.

C’mon Coach, you can do it!

Since the UH coaches and players are all talking about the red zone, I found a *very* interesting and sad stat.

Before yesterday, Nevada was the worst team in the country (#120 out of 120 D-IA teams) in red zone defense. The INT in the end zone that they got is the ONLY time this season that they stopped a team in the red zone! So, now teams have scored 18 times out of the 19 times they made it into the red zone against Nevada.

Now Nevada is only the #119th team in the country in red zone defense. The only team worse than them? UNLV. UNLV has allowed the opposition to score 30 times out of the 31 times they made it into the red zone. The only team UNLV stopped in the red zone in their 9 games? UH.

So, not only is UH the #119 team in the country, but they have played the two worse red zone defenses and were the only offense those teams could stop in the red zone. UNLV’s season is 75% done so this stat is pretty revealing.

The TD pass to Taylor moved UH from #120 to #119 in the national red zone stats. Rice is now below UH, but Rice scores more points in the red zone on average because they get more TDs. If points are what matters, then in the red zone UH would be worse than UH.
