Game day: UNLV
LAS VEGAS — We passed the giant tailgate party on Main Street while driving to Sam Boyd Stadium. The place was packed. We’re estimating a few thousand. There were 52 buses rented to bring tail-gaters from downtown to Boyd Stadium.
* * * * *
Josh Rice, who was raised in Las Vegas, is a UH co-captain tonight.
* * * * *
As part of the budget cuts, UNLV decided to stop offering meals in the press box. While the meals have been tasty — the Rib Crib-catered food at Tulsa games ranks No. 1 — even reporters would choose media guides over meals.
* * * * *
There was quite some activity when the spread dropped, to 4 points, earlier today. It then went back up to 7. That’s some heavy betting action.
* * * * *
After a nearly a week in Vegas, the Warriors are anxious to play another game. The Warriors depart for home at 2 a.m. tomorrow. The early-morning flight will be a regular part of their travel this year. Last year, the Warriors traveled to Oakland after road games, stay in a hotel until the morning, then depart on an early flight to Honolulu. By catching the Vegas flight, the Warriors would avoid the expense of a night’s stay in Oakland.

Happy birthday to my cousin, Shelley (Kubo) Okubo.
1st?

Good morning all!!
Enjoyed a night of fun, food, and fellowship with Tsai-kos at Kiku Hana. Thank you so much las vegas for all your efforts. Up early to get errands
done before tonights activities.
Hope that our ailing warriors are doing better and that all are a 100% in all aspects of the game.
Wish you all were here with us, but we know you are with us in spirit.
Have a a great weekend!!
Good morning Tsaiko’s!
Just back in from another all-nighter! Gotta get some shut eye!…Shop for Post game BBQ food. Once that is all put in place for tomorrow’s cookout…then we get ready for the GAME!
Again, all you folks who are still in LV, you are all welcome to come practice the 5 F’s with the rest of us. Come and unwind, talk story, swim or just relax with a tall cool brew. Directions are on SteveM’s site.

Volleyball aside: One ticket available for next Thursday’s game which is expected to be a HUGE blowout. DrDoc has to be at meeting that night. One catch – the lucky person gets to sit with me because I’d like to have some company. if you’re interested, send an e-mail to swood at hoku dot com.
I’ll believe it when I see it!!??….
I’m looking at my sports page tv schedule in the Dallas Morning News, and I see in print here that the UH/UNLV game should be telecast live on, (CBSCS, and MTN). I have Directv, which don’t carry Versus, due to,($$$), issues. So, surprise!!??…I think; well, count-down starts and keeping my fingers crossed till then.
I did check to see if it’s showing on each channels schedule, and they show it.
pinch me!!!…I hope it’s not a tease.
mctruck

AL – you got one terrific son! Picked up the taxi tab taking to us to the Outlet Mall. Of course he could have done me a favor by saying I could not go with them. Hot day there!
Sorry I missed the karaoke last night – sunstroke from the shopping mall – all five or so hours!
last night’s news
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfJ1H_NhqQk
29. Greg Alexander Hawaii 43 (votes) 1%
wHITY:
First of all, I strongly support most forms of legalized gambling here in Hawai`i including horse racing although I do I have some concerns about dog racing. I think a lottery and casinos would be excellent tax revenue generators both directly and indirectly.
However, there is a strong well-organized lobby opposed to legalized gambling which claim to represent more than 65% of the state’s voters. This lobbying group is led by the Roman Catholic, Mormon and fundamentalist Christian Churchs – e.g., New Hope, Calvary, Word of Life, etc. They have been joined by secular groups such as the League of Women Voters and by the entire law enforcement community.
Many of the other big players such as the Hawai`i Tourism Authority and most public employee unions are silent on the issue.
Other than folks such as thee and me, there is little in the way of visible l support. As long we don’t organize, then we will never see legalized gambling in Hawai`i – at least for 20 -30 years.
Don’t blame the Legislature for this one. They’re responding to what the anti-gambling lobbyists say their constituents want.
Again, the voices in support of legalized gambling have not spoken very loundly..
Had a dream about BHF2 giving a “Knute Rockne” style speech to the Warriors. Aftah his fiery sermon to motivate them, one of the players turned to the other and asked, “isn’t that your uncle from Hilo?” The other guy sez, “nah, he’s just some Tsaiko that coach Mack brought in to scare us!”
Worse nightmare?…you betcha! Dey better win tonite, uddawize big Hilo Fan goin’ be on dem like white on rice!
Getting ready to shop ’till we drop for da groceries to sustain some hungry Tsaiko’s on the day aftah da nite before.
I have 4 cases of Depena for woman large and un open…and a few (three plastic bags) for any one who can use them. If interested, let me know to I can get them to you…momo
chawan_cut: – I commented on your video that SATELLITE TV CUSTOMERS IN HAWAII will be able to view the game on CBSC. Someone might want to let the TV stations know that.

Swimming with sore rotator cuffs is a challenge. But nothing compared to the other person in the pool- a young man recently returned wounded from Iraq.
Yep, you are so right. Thanks for posting this interesting article.
Less than six hours to game time!!!
JaM,
Where do you live? I’m not driving, but maybe there’s someone coming who lives close to you. How come you’re not driving?
QUACK, QUACK, GO DUCKS! I like Oregon, but Masoli doesn’t look as good as Alexander throwing, great rushing, tho.
GO WARRRIORS!!!! Tua! Tua! Tua! Block that kick!
BHF2, gotta cheer for our boy Mahoe. I’ll be yelling at the TV.
Good morning Tsaikos…well, afternoon here. Game day preparations are under way.
Thanks to Las Vegas for the good fun last night. See everyone at the T-gate…

Head coach Tony Sparano, Sept. 18, 2009
Palm Beach Post(On if spread option college receivers can have success in the NFL) – “Oh, like a [Percy] Harvin type of a player? Well, you know, I mean, I think one of the things I think comin’ out of the spread offense is those type of things – I think that you find a player kinda like [Davone] Bess, okay, whose much further advanced in some situations with his receiving skills and with what he’s seen. You know, I think a lot of times you get into those type of offenses, I mean I don’t know Florida’s offense very well, you know, but I do know some of the things that they do. And, you know, you see some of those type of players that are out there – like Hawaii’s offense for example. You know, I just think they’ve seen a lot more coverage-wise, people are trying to do a lot more to defend them so that they don’t hit ’em with big plays. They’re seein’ double coverage, they’re seein’ these role coverages, things that you might do, you know, to some of those offenses, where I think they’re just a little bit more mature than the guy that’s just out there playin’ in the standard pro offense. You know, where there’s two half-backs back there and they’re gettin’ the ball, and I just think way further ahead fundamentally, you know, in that way.”
Thanks to all attending last nights K-Call.
The person who had the greatest time was mrs.lv, she is still semi comatose from last night and speaks in tongues (think exorcist).
Getting hyped up for the game, GO TEAM!!!
Slugger & gang – we’ll be at Genji’s. C ya soon! Go Warriors!
Wow.. three turnovers for USC against the Washington Huskies.. 10 -10 with 2 mins left in 3rd quarter

Commentator on the Oregon game said the same thing about people complaining to UoO about not being able to read the numbers on their unis. Grey/silver on green with a yellow border. What’s with this poor design sense? Men making the decisions? Bwahahahaha
Utah 24 – Oregon 28. GO DUCKS! Autzen Stadium turf needs replacement, too.
Just told Art we’d have about 15 people at Genji. If you come stay go Genji, let me know, K.

Washington wins 16 – 13.
Final

Good afternoon Tsai-kos!
USC alum nephew must be bummed. He’s supposed to be driving up from LA to LV to go to the game with his peeps from high school. Wonder if he knows yet…. hehehe.
Looks like you guys had a good time at the kk last night. Hope everybody remembers to go to the game. 🙄 😆
Have to say, the past few days, the blog has been more like the old days, with the return of old friends like RainbowCliff and the absence of the trolls we’ve had to deal with the past few weeks.
GO WARRIORS!
GO WAHINE!
GO PAC-FIVE!
Oreogon beats Utah 31-24.
Oregon 31 – Utah 24 no more streaking………
Found a site to watch the NAU game. NAU over So. Utah 21 – 7. Good site when Weber St. plays NAU at NAU.
Oops, wrong use of vocabulary. NAU up on So. Utah 21 – 7. Game’s not over yet.
wonder how good Boise St is since them dominated Oregon
keys to the game….
hang on to the football
patience on offense
pick up the blitz, it will be coming
contain the qb’s
create havoc in their backfield
don’t give up the “homerun”
win the turnover battles and special teams play.
dunnachie to have his breakout game.
a new star or two is born on defense today
jovonte will emerge
…nuff said.
PROTECT GREG ALEXANDER.
WARRIORS- IMUA!
NAU just scored! 28 – 7. This is Jerome Souers last year of his contract at NAU. His job will be open next season. Corey Batoon???? Although, his Dad said he’s enjoying being at Arkansas State, much more of a powerhouse than NAU.
K, need to get some things done before the game this evening.
GO WARRIORS!!!!
I thought UW might be able to win this game. Didn’t watch it, but I figured if they couldn’t get 200 yards and a couple TDs from Corp, then it might be a close game. Funny, cause we have a couple UW alumni teaching at MoHS, and all they were talking about yesterday was covering the spread.
We’ll be heading to Cici’s once Mika wakes up from her nap. I was able to gamble for an hour for the first half of the nap and Lori just got back from her hour of gambling. If we’re late that will be because our kids were tired…but I’ll get there in time for the bus at least!
I’m up over $250 this trip…so far, so good! I cannot wait for the game to start, 8pm seems so long from now!
Warriors.
protect Greg Alexande
Tank, Corey, Jake, Geordan, Mana, get in da game.
step in, Warriors, step in!
this your day!
bring it!
Go Warriors!!!!
protect all of Greg Alexander!
make him the star of the cast.
its all on you! each of you.
Go Warriors!
Interesting day in football. Nice upsets for Washington and Oregon (!)
Hopefully the Warriors will continue the “upset” trend. It’ll help if we get 50% or better Warrior fans in the crowd like we usually do!
It’s a bummer that there’s no free replay, but at least we got BC/RK. Wonder if Kekaula will do a little singing this game too. (anyone caught his “let’s get it started” last week? :P)
SMU up by 11… 4th quarter 11 mins to go.
Oops 15 minutes to go… heh..
game on yet?
QB for USC made a lot of bad throws today. Probably was the difference in the game.
SMU lead cut to 7… 10 mins left in 4th quarter… still anybody’s game.
Florida State up 13-7 over BYU… Florida State knocking on the door again… 1st and goal..
Just saw Kainoa Pe’a on the sidelines at the NAU game.
Go, Greg! And receivers!!! You are so much better than the Oregon team today.
GO WARRIORS!!!
shouting out to all the faithful back home…enjoy the camaraderie at genji’s.
mucho fun last night and thanks to LV again for setting up the cc. looking forward to the UH vs LV game. kinda of nervous but believing the warriors going put it all on the field tonight.
power napping is a definite here to catch up and be refreshed for the nite time activities
ARK leading GA 14 – 7 9:37 in the first qtr.
IMUA!!!
WARRIORS!
See you at Cici’s!
Game on, baby!
Posting T- Gate pix on fbook.
Off to Nancys to watch the game and some good Hawaiian food. GO WARRIORS
Good luck to the Warriors tonight!
Good luck to all the Tsaikos and Warrior Nation (in their quest for entertainment purposes) and safe journey home after the game…
Wazzu beat SMU 30-27 in O/T…
Busses are here. Gonna load up soon.
JJ is finding out that what was so special in Hawaii is not so easily duplicated someplace else, I almost feel sorry for him, almost…..
I don’t :/ But I still like the guy. Anyway it’s GAMEDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you ready people?!!!!!!
I’m more than ready!!
Big test today. 3-0 sounds real good.
Mahalo to Brew808 for providing brews and bevs. for the busses!
Too bad for SMU. They lost it in the end.
I don’t begrudge JJ for leaving though, many changes wouldn’t have happened if he’d stayed. Maybe we can schedule SMU in now that Warshington State left the Warriors with an open date.
FSU is absolutely crushing BYU right now, 54-21 in the 4th quarter. Looks like only one “BCS Buster” left on the board right now since Utah just got beat as well.
Of course, if the Warriors can dare to dream and go undefeated this season…
Ah.. the irony of it all…
JJ must be wishing he had a certain receiver coach and defense guru just about now…
WARRIORS IMUA!!!
This game is huge… Warriors need to go undefeated and get ranked before the BSU matchup…
Aloha Ted.
Are we part of the gang having to listen to the game tonight?
Hoping all is well on your end in Florida land.
Btw, my brother and family finally made the move to Tampa last month.
Hi all.
Today for JJ, but he’ll build that program back up like he did here. I’ll always back him. We got a lot of new things thanks to him.
Bet the $line on UH. So, go boys…beat them Rebs!!!
Have a great game day Tsaiks…. 🙂

can view the game for free. can’t really hear the audio but I would just tune in to 1420 anyway.
GO WARRIORS!
Duffer- wish I was there!!
Malcolm Lane being interviewed on the radio. Y’know, it may not be such a bad thing for him to redshirt this year so he can get his degree and help out the APR. He’ll be yet another credible receiving threat for next year, though on the other hand, there’ll be quite a few senior receivers.

Gametime Tsaikos! I’ll be looking for you guys on TV. Got a few cold ones in the fridge…everything’s set to watch a Warrior victory!
So who moved the line down to 4? Must have been some HUGE bets.
Hi, Maverick,
I’m lucky over here, have it on CBS C.
TV watchers, people in the stands: How much green in the stands?
Hmm, CBS CHD is not quite HD. But better than last week.
Wow, what a catch.
What a catch!
BowsForever – haven’t shown a wide view of the stands yet. There’s at least 2200 Tsai-kos. 🙂
Pilares mugged on the goal line.
UH 3-0
Well, 3-0 is better than nothing, but if Alexander really missed a wide open Pilares and wasn’t in a huge rush…missed opportunity. To be fair, I don’t think even Colt followed his progressions all the time.
The radio makes it sound like there’s more Rebel fans out there.
Another feed that’s better!
http://www.justin.tv/braddahneil
Should have ended that drive with a TD, but nice to see the offense clicking.
Wow, declining the false start 🙂
Mana Silva, you da MAN!
and then smack!! D is hitting hard so far
Crocodile arms! Bwahahaha!
so far, so good. UNLV not quite in control of itself.
Keep up the foul trouble, UNLV! Hope Henry saw that hit coming though, especially if the D keeps making good stops. Henry’s our best punt returner in the last, I dunno, 2 years?
we gotta go for the throat here….
I think Greg Alexander actually DOES like being a running QB, sorta.
Pilares! Nice run!
Sweet run by Pilares.
Dang! So close.
aaaaarrrrrggggghhhh, no. 3 that was catchable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is gonna be a tougher game than it should be. Oh well.
FG -what?!?!?!?! ok I think i am going to be sick……
Maybe if we get into the red zone on a 4th and <5 situation, we should go for it? Hard to say at this point.
D, maybe a turnover would help. UNLV will be scoring sooner than later.
The TV announcers were saying Jovonte Taylor was hurt but Hawaii wasn’t saying what or how bad the injury was.
Couple of no-calls by the officials. Just more reason why the Warriors can’t play field goal ball and hope to win.
On the FG try, they showed in the replay that Funaki called for the snap before Enos was ready.
TD UNLV. Time to return the favor.
If the Warriors don’t answer back with a TD this series, I’m thinking it’ll be a “try to survive ’til halftime” type of situation.
What a throw!!!!! TD Hawaii!!!!
SAVED BY SALAS! We needed that!
S-A-L-A-S TD!!!!! This offense is sick!!!!!!!!
I can watch that replay over and over. What a THROW!
OK, maybe it wasn’t Enos. Nice touchback. I’ll take touchbacks all night long.
Way to respond. Beautiful pass by Alexander on the run.
Alright D! Purcell on a mission!
Purcell does a 3-and-out! Right ON!
Great D!!!!!!!!!!
Starting off around the 35 or so would be a good time for the Alexander and Co. to make another statement. Red zone efficiency is looking like an issue right now though, you can’t be like Boise/Fresno/Salas just now and rely on crazy-long big plays straight to the end zone.
End of 1st qtr, Hawaii up 10-7. Could easily have been 17-7!
We have great seats and can see the field really well in this intimate stadium.
Salas is a beast! He’s a different breed of YAC player. And with his yards per play, it’s like he’s a wideout anyway!
Pilares hurdles air? Wish I could’ve seen that.
Alexander…maybe needs to get sacked to clear out the cobwebs in his head?
3 long balls in a row? I don’t think that’s the run-n-shoot.
That INT actually wasn’t that bad, think of it as a good punt.
I-N-T Silva!!!!!!!!!
Mana Silva redeems himself with an INT! It’s like the INT never happened! What the HECK!??!
Interception Silva! He really wanted that one!
Oh heck Greg, throw more long balls! (No, please don’t.)
LOL, back to UH
GA has overthown-itis
4th and 5… Might as well keep going for it.
Turnover on downs. Dang.
http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/gamecast?gameId=292622439
I’m getting a feeling kinda like the SJSU game from last year. That’s not a good feeling.
They need to get back to the short to medium range passes for rythym’s sake.
I think Coach Mack should turn over a Gatorade tank or two. Maybe splash Alexander and maybe Pilares a little too.
D is doing pretty well, but…see SJSU game. One way or another, we have to score or it’ll be trouble.
yep…. and we need to stop the run….
ooh, that was close
whoa, good interception
I-N-T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our D is bailing us out.
Yesssss! Torres with the I-N-T!
OK I like the playcalling thus far on this drive…
He’s going to connect with Bradley on that play one of these days…
How many times is GA going to overthrow the ball!
What’s up with GA? Off tonight.
Ok nice throw to pick up the first, Imua!!
You know what? This is a good game.
1st down!!!
the rythm is back….
Another Warrior … FIRST DOWN!
Hee hee! I can imagine the UNLV defensive huddle: “Who’s got Pilares?!”
39 yd TD to Bradley!! Wide open.
Another Warrior … TOUCHDOWN!
99club nailed it on the head!!! Bradley TD baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it seems our receivers are just flat out fast this year!
Not one screen shot of the Tsaikos in the stands. I’ve got mixed emotions…
Woo Hoo!
Run-it-up, Mack! Cheeehooo!
They are scoring the other way. We are at the other endzone.
GA in a bad game with 282 by half time.
We cant let them score a td for momentum’s sake
c’mon D let’s get it together
NoOOOOOooOOooo… we need to answer right now.
Clock management get’s an F, how do you let 7 seconds run off before calling a TO???????
Time management!
Wright-Jackson! nice play… now if we only had more time
a FG here would be huuuge!
FG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That guy can kick!!!
Way to end the half!
GA 341 yds at the half… amazing.
I think this game is answering the big question: Is Hawaii good? Now all they have to do is win the game.
100% Agree. Offense & Defense is better than I think anyone expected.
NYUH-
Agreed. They’re real good. I can’t imagine what the score would be if Alexander and Bradley had their timing down better.
Offense isn’t as good as I was expecting, since GA is having an “off” night. Strange how he puts up big numbers but the pts. don’t quite match up.
Ok!
Now I gotta find out what is making that unreal garlic smell. 20-14 UH at the half.
How’s the O-line been doing protecting GA? Can’t really tell on the radio?
Warrior’s got help on that spot..
Chancellor Hinshaw just visited the Tsai-kos!
BowsForever-
They’re doing a great job on the protection. I don’t know if he’s been sacked or not. GA’s helped himself by rolling out a few times.
BF- Pretty good protection tonight
Uh oh. Need some run D right ’bout now.
That’s what I’m talking about!
Nice stop on first down
Great stop! They are going for it on 4th down. C’mon D!
I meant 2nd down, and throw in 3rd down as well
Dang.
OK D shut them down here, no more first downs!!!!
RK, you have a point, but the Warriors have had a hard time trying to take the higher ground.
Offense is gonna have to get it done, because the D is about to break.
OK We need 2 more stops like that here. Our secondary looks a little stumped on this drive 🙁
One more stop! Let’s go Warriors!!
Yes!!!!!!!!!!! That was a victory for our D! Nice job in the red zone guys!!
Or not! UH dodges a bullet with a blown FG.
Missed FG!!!!!!!! woooooooooooooooooooooooooot-taaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
Yeehawwww! It hit the upright!!! Still 20-14 Hawaii.
Well, the good news is a FG from this drive, if we can get one, will still put big pressure on UNLV.
Not the way to start the 2nd half on Offense…. It’s on the D again… and this doesn’t help with their stamina.
Well, never mind that.
I wonder, should UH abandon the shovel pass? Maybe it’s just me but it’s effectiveness is nowhere near the Colt-to-Nate combo.
Hawaii diagnosed the option there
BF- you are right
http://www.justin.tv/sticktv_lives
These 3rd and 4th conversion are killing us. Secondary seems way to soft in the 2nd half
nice hit, now please one more stop!!!
we have to figure out those routes!!
Credit UNLV’s WR on that TD he just flat out out-hustled our #4 for the ball
Let’s go Warriors!!!!!
Big Play GA to Bradley!!
It’s close but I think he got the 1st
Bad spot, let go Warriors!!
1st down!!!!!!!!!!
Warriors are underperforming, no question.
…though the Salas TD really helps.
I think a 2-pt. conversion is called for here.
Another Warrior TOUCHDOWN!!!
Here we go Warriors!
TD Greg to Greg, Again!!
S-A-L-A-S!!!!!! Yeah baby!!!!
Should we have gone for 2?
Well, back in the lead for now.
OK so big question is… Have we figured out their passing game????
Pretty good job on kick off coverage
the answer… no.
The option/rollouts are giving the Uh D-coordinators fits
Big 3rd down here
100% 3rd and 4th conversions in the 2nd half for UNLV
Red zone stop pleeeeeeaaaasssssee!!!
And the shootout continues
Beautiful run back
Move those sticks!!!
Another big bradley pass!!!!!
Huge PI call!!
Green TD!!!!!!!! YEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!! Go FOR 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go Green! TD!
2 pt. conversion is a must now.
Gotta stop ’em this drive. It’s as simple as that.
arrrrgggg!!!
OK So now UNLV will go for 2 IF they score a TD to try and get up by 3…. But thats if they score…
WARRIOR D, IT’S NOW OR NEVER!!!!!
Can someone teach our boys how to wrap up and tackle.l Running into people has not really done much. Same technique year after year. I thought Mac was a defensive guy.
Classic Mack D bringing the Heat when its on the line!!
The blood pressure has officially started to rise
If they are going to blitz, why do they delay it? This QB is getting rid of it quickly
O-M-G….. that was the game if he held on!!!!
Um, time is an issue here
1st and goal… Hawaii takes a TO, should we just let them score????
Great sack by Heun!!!
OK, that sack makes this a must stop
2 more stops to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
D stepping up!
3d and goal, hang on Hawaii!
Dang. TD UNLV with 36 seconds left.
fr*ck!
Well that’s the second time the UNLV #4 does that to UH #4…. coordinators?????
This ain’t over. We just need a FG.
Game is not over people… Go Warriors!!!
BELIEVE!
A FG will win this, if we get a good run back, watch out!!
299
One quick throw and a kick….. that’s all that we have to do.
Hail Mary time.
If he caught that the clock would have ran out.
arrrhhghghghghgh1
Good game Warriors. You played ’em tough.
Keep your heads up Warriors, tough game.
And so it goes for the Warriors. Learn your lessons and try to improve. In a way I sadly ended up being kinda right. This game had an SJSU kinda feeling, though this time the opponent was more capable and the score was higher.
2-1, still not bad. But winning at La Tech, well it just got a little more must-win.
Maybe it was where BC and RK were, but over the radio, the UH crowd didn’t seem to beat out the UNLV crowd this game either.
I give UH a B grade on this game, mostly because of the first half miscues, which ended up factoring into the outcome of the game. We need to now focus on the WAC season, fortunately we have LaTech and not a Boise St. to play after all this traveling.
What if… what if…. what if… A great game to “watch” and a lot of things to be optimistic about. I bet very few people, me included, believed the Warriors would be as good as they are at this point in the season. There is a lot more to look forward to. I think there is a lot more excitement to come.
UH sections were very loud.
There were multiple missed opportunities that really added up, on both offense and defense.
The D bent a little too much this game, and Mana Silva will unfortunately be kicking himself for not getting that INT in the end zone.
Good game but tough loss.
Wahine up 2-0 and leading in the 3rd, 12-8
This sucks.
We had this.
The boys played their hearts out. Props to them/
Time Management needs to be looked at.
Play calling still a little conservative; ending of the 1st half.
Secondary played good,but left a couple/few turnovers on the mat that could have sealed this game.
Pass rush was lacking….really need Paipai and John back.
Thought was should have tried the FG at the end.
Going for two on UH’s last TD was the right call IMHO.
Me and the wife a little shocked that UH could not have pulled this out.
Next up, the start of the WAC season, lets win the Crown.
Hopefully UH WVB can cure the blues we feel now.
Blues is right, I don’t even want another Mojito 🙁
What bugs me most is that GA is still inconsistent. The D was a known question mark, but GA seems a little more erratic than I would expect (the three long balls in a row, two of ’em way off the mark, was a head-scratcher). His numbers aren’t quite matching his actual performance on the field. Maybe I should be chalking it up to the difficulty of the system.
BF- 2nd year in the system, early in the season, he will come around. Being that he is putting up these numbers and has yet to have a complete game is very promising.
I can’t understand the last series. Why not go to the middle at least once? We had two time outs? Going for the long ball and throwing it away was terribel. Loose time looking long and throwing away. poor judgement. If it’s the field goal neede to look for what was given. Even the announcers saw the opening.
I don’t think it was a “b”. More like a “c-“. Defense did not wrap up. No adjustment on #4, twice.
POsitives. The o-line is solid. Great work there. Mana Silva is a beast. Salas is crazy as is Polaras. Alexander has to play smarter and take what is given. The lobg ball is beautiful but getting greedy makes him look bad as he hold it too long and winds up stairing down his receiver. When he does the quick look and shoot, he looks great. Too inconsistent.
Defense could not stop anything in the second half.
Grade hard and hopefully they will work harder to bring up the grade.
I hate to say this, but it just seems like we lost this one one defense.. I mean… Our Offense was on the field for only 2:09 of the whole third quarter. We really missed our starters and injured veterans. Maybe we’ve become too dependent on our defense to come up big when it really counts.
Still it was a good hard fought game. Pains me to see the Warriors lose.
Wac season in 10 days.
GO WARRIORS!
tough loss…shoulda woulda coulda. ONE SNAP & CLEAR!!!
GO Warriors!!!
C- is about right, I think.
Last series was desperation time already. That situation was preventable at several points by both the offense and then the overwhelmed D in the second half, but you have to give credit to UNLV exploiting the D’s weaknesses. The D has a ways to go, because Boise and Fresno are probably considerably better at playing physical than UNLV is.
Colt showed how the run-n-shoot is done when near-perfection. “Take what the defense gives you.” Long balls usually aren’t what the defense gives you.
Wahine win easily in a sweep, 25-17 x3! 😀
unreal game….unlv really came back in the 2nd half
Next stop, la tech
Pomai
44UH-28Latech
PROPS TO DA HAWAII FANS FOR MAKING NOISE!
PROPS TO DA WARRIORS FOR PLAYING WITH HEART!!!!
AUWE TO THE UNLV COACH FOR BEING AN ASS WITH THAT “HANDSHAKE” AFTERWARDS.
I don’t agree with a C-, UNLV is a good team. The D is hurting, I give the a C+ because of the second half problems in the secondary. Offense get’s a B. Ok so that’s a B-. So we lose by 1 point on a B- performance against a good team. Hawaii is not a bad team no matter how you slice it.
Clearly, UH is not bad. But this level of play won’t do the job against La Tech, which is an important game to win to keep the Hawaii Bowl goal within reach.
“Re-bels” taunting chant resounds through the stadium halls as we leave.
Pffffft.
Tsai-kos are loaded on the busses and rolling. Mahalo to las vegas for the wonderful arrangements and everyone for supporting our WARRIORS!!!
One snap and clear!
really? you don’t think this level of play would beat La-Tech? I think UNLV is much better than La-tech
A “c-” is not saying that this is a bad team. A “c-” is saying that execution is below average in this game. For this good team to be a better team it has to execute mcuh better than the “c-” I assigned for this game.
If we had a “B-” performance we would have won the game. And that is saying that we have a good team. The game was winnable for this team as it is a good team, the execution was just not at a level that would allow it.
GO BOWS!!!
Good hard fought game Warriors. Live to fight another day. WAC season starting up. GO WARRIORS!!!
Toad Christenson kept calling us the rainbows, I think he does this just to p iss us off
UH vs La Tech

Next time Warriors, one snap and clear….
The Tsaiokos showed up in force. sum made big noise.
our Warriors played really well. really well. their #4 kept burning us.
they didn’t quit. not once. offense and defense. the oline played really great, only 1 sack was what i saw. our D was hurting, some great players out, but the ones that played gave it their all.
you know who was the most disappointed in the stadium? NOBODY wuz mo hurt dan me.
but i hold my hands high to the Warriors. Good job. do better in La.
Greg Alexander, you can do it, yes you can.
i not going point out any Warrior cuz they all did good. Really disappointing to lose by so close. The luck has it. Konaboy is right though about the clock management. gotta try suma dat mumbo jumbo.
i going sleep. my head hurts
UNLV beat the Warriors (2-1) despite the efforts of Greg Alexander, who completed 31 of 48 passes for a <u<career high 477 yards and three touchdown
oops… should be..
Greg Alexander, who completed 31 of 48 passes for a career high 477 yards and three touchdown

Another blue screen of death! Have to start over from scratch.
Congratulations to the Wahine – only seven more wins to reach 1,000 for Dave Shoji.
We watched the first half of the UNLV game at Anyplace on South King. Unbelievable food and if you want to bring your own pupus or desserts you can. I would strongly recommend it as a place to go watch football and eat. The place is relatively small and most of the people seemed to be in their own private parties rather than in a large group like the Tsai-kos were last week. Still, everyone was very nice and yelling loudly when required.
We left the car parked on the street in front of the bar and walked up to the Stan Sheriff Center during the half. We always carry a small radio with us so we continued listening to the football game until the end because fans sitting around us were crowding in to hear what was going on while cheering for the Wahine.
From my very novice POV, the team as a whole didn’t seem to be on the same page much of the time – particularly the defense. I’d like to be the fly on the wall at the coaches’ meeting on Monday
Mentioned earlier today that we had a Wahine volleyball ticket for next Thursday to give away. Now we have two because I got tagged at a meeting this afternoon to sit in on a planning meeting Thursday night.
If anyone wants the tickees, please send an e-mail to swood at hoku dot com & don’t forget to include your phone number.
Also, Whitey – please forgive the misspelling of your blog name earlier today. Should have proofed it before I punched the Submit button.
Safe travels back home everyone. Looking forward to hearing what the coaches and the players have to say when they get back here.
Off to bed shortly – I too am recovering from surgery which was more complex than either the doctor or I expected. Fortunately, it’s on my face so I can still get around even though I look like I was on the losing end of a 12-round fight.
POMAI: Did anyone win the contest?
#4 vs. #4 – you’d think they’d make an adjustment after the first TD. 6’4″ and 5’8″…the little guy needed help.
Go Bows!
curveball,
Thanks for the stats. Put’s the game in perspective.
Next game. GO WARRIORS!!! GO TSAIKOS!!!
what the hell was up with that “handshake” at the end of the game?
That was an a****** of a UNLV coach…that’s what’s u p w/ the quick palm.
Sorry, Darren, but I think that was totally so unprofessional. He wasn’t gonna get mugged by the UH team. No class.
G’Night all! Safe travels to those who are leaving LV tomorrow.
Darren and Slugger,
Yup the UNLV coach wants a “rivalry” huh????
DAT FAKA GOT ONE!
Hope Vaughn Meatoga is ok. He kinda limped off the field quickly late in the 4th there.
Other than that, looks like we avoided another game without injuries to report which is always a good thing.
The bye week should only help our Warriors to rest and recover mentally and physically.
Watching the Wahine volleyball replay right now and it looks that the overlapping times between the football and the volleyball game affected the attendance.
Looks like a turnstile of about 3,500.
Congrats on the solid win tonight to the Wahine. Looks like they cleaned up their game tonight as Pepperdine looked to have the Wahine a bit off-balanced last night.
BTW, provided we continue to win the next seven games in a row, Dave Shoji will get his 1,000th win right here at home.
The offensive line can build more from this game.
Against a MUCH better team and a more deliberate pass rush, the offensive line held their own again.
KEEP WORKING HARD BOYS! YOU CAN ONLY GET BETTER!!!
pomai- 35 – 21 LizKauai
Mahalo Warriors- safe home!
I’ll be right behind you in a couple more hours…
Nitey nite and SWEET WARRIOR DREAMS!
I don’t know why I’m still awake when my kids will be up early today and we have a full day of activity planned *before* we get to Kekoa’s event at noon. I just couldn’t sleep I guess and had to reflect on the game.
There are obvious negatives that will be picked apart during the extra long wait for the next game. Clock management (at the end of *both* halves) hurt the Warriors, there is still a problem for deciding to go for two points earlier (this time the Warrior coaches didn’t realize they wanted to go for 2 until it was too late to call for timeout), how the Warrior offense only got to run 4 plays in the third quarter, etc. After the next 10 minutes I think I’ll try to refrain from discussing any of them on the blog.
There were a LOT of positives in this game.
1. Salas is scaring defenses now and requiring double-teams, which really opened things up for Pilares in this game. That senior DB Lee could *not* tackle Pilares in the first half, and Pilares really did a great job of running with the ball after the catch.
2. Rodney Bradley has adjusted to this offense amazingly quickly and is an awesome deep threat. His speed is also dangerous on crossing patterns.
3. The OL gave Alexander a lot of time on most plays. The run wasn’t effective in this game, but their pass blocking was solid.
4. The UH D came up big many times during the first half. That was really impressive considering the injuries to the DEs. The D wore down in the second half, but that was a combination of a lack of DL depth due to injuries (really hurt the pass rush), heat, being on the field too long, and UNLV being the best team UH played this year.
5. Elliott Purcell made a lot of plays, which was great considering that he’s playing injured.
6. The Warrior fans were loud, though outnumbered. The best part of it was that this was the best I’ve seen for the Warrior fans quieting down when UH had the ball on offense.
Back from the UNLV game and some post game food and casino time. It was a really good game. I give UNLV credit. The UNLV receivers are a lot better than people give them credit for. That Wolfe guy is for real. They have some really tall receivers which made it hard for our defenders to stop. They made some good adjustments at halftime and our defense couldn’t stop them when it counted. We really missed Falemalu and Fonoti tonight. Our DBs need to turn around and look for the ball.
Our guys fought really hard, but had some key mistakes as did the coaches. The coaches were trying to call timeout again on the second to last score to go for two, but we kicked the XP before they could call it. Funaki snapped that missed FG early because the play clock was running down. Probably should have called a TO or taken the penalty, but it is what it is. At the end, I wish they would have taken some shorter throws instead of trying to get all of the yardage on one play. There were a lot of Hawaii fans there, but the UNLV fans showed up in mass too. I was sitting on the UH sideline so I didn’t have a great view of the number of UH fans, but we were well represented.
I thought the Offense played well. GA had time to pass for most of the night. GA had a 65% completion rate for 3 TDs and 477 yards so he didn’t do too bad no matter what people say. Bradley had a great game (8 catches, 189 yds and a TD) and Pilares did well too (13 catches, 146 yards). Salas, did what he always does and had a consistent good game (6 catches 104 yards, 2 TDs). I am pretty sure that Jovonte Taylor got hurt early because I think he was out for the game after the first couple series. Meatoga came out limping pretty bad too. On defense it seemed like RJ Kiesel Kauhane had his name called an awful lot as did Blaze. Mana Silva was laying the smack down on some opponents out there.
I don’t know what is up on all of the guys on the Advertiser website bashing our team and coaches. UNLV was favored in this game and just barely pulled it out. Our guys played a good game for the most part and we came up just short to a team that is supposed to be one of the best in UNLV history and should have beaten an Oregon State team that many pick to finish in the top half of the Pac 10. I say Warriors, hold your heads up high, heal up, and get back to work since we have the WAC schedule coming up. Let’s get ready for our second straight nationally televised game at LA Tech. That game is a must win if we are to go bowling this year. Go Warriors.
Sean Tesoro missed this game because he’s out for the season with a broken right ankle.
Note about why UH didn’t go for 2 when the score was 26-21.
Note about the UNLV receiver Payne catching two TDs on jump-ball type situations–this is a standard play that UNLV has been using with Payne. They did it for the game-winning TD just like they did it in the Oregon State game last week.
On a positive note, RGM made some big plays to spark his team to a win.
Wow, I really messed up that last post! I guess it is past 4am and I’m sleepy. This is what that post was supposed to say:
nothing to be said that hasnt already been said…..
one step forward, two steps back…….
my thoughts:
1) damn i had no idea our DB’s were that short
2) i thought we were going to address this whole running right up the middle against us like Moses parting the red sea thing….
3) whats with the usage of timeouts?
oh we still can have a winning season! get that running up the middle cr@p figured out cuz La Tech is going to have a field day with it.
still plenty of hope left!
go warriors.
Update on a former UH LB.
Final thought before I get a couple of hours of sleep: UNLV is better than a number of teams UH has left on its schedule…and UH dominated the first half and could have won the game despite it being on the road.

Good (extra early) morning everyone!
Peaches and I are waiting at McCarran for our flight to SFO. When the TSA people saw our Hawaii IDs, they mentioned that the team and many others passed through a few hours earlier enroute home.
It was great to see so many Tsai-kos at the game…and old friends at Kiku Hana and CiCi’s. Too bad we lost the game, but many of us were able to meet for the first time.
Again, thanks to Rich2176 and las vegas who stepped up for us again this year!
mike samford is a loser….yes a loser
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCpcAum2BSM
watch that.
hes a poor loser and a poor winner. haha.
I was surprised after we wrapped up at Kiku Hana last night. The karaoke service providers (Allan and Chudi) came to me and said, “How are you related to Gaye at Genji’s?”. Turns out Chudi and Gaye were in school together, and she and Allan frequented Genji’s twice a week. Allan said he helped Art set up the initial TV/sound systems. Small world.
…or maybe not so small when las vegas is involved 🙂 They said they wanted to set up a “Genji’s” in Las Vegas…still looking, but Kiku Hana is a favorite site.

Great Morning All!
….well, the sun did come up after all.
Tough one last night. Hope the team rebounds; the extra days of lay-off should help.
Rushing to get outta town for the drive back to LA. Will try to catch up on all the comments later.

Good morning Tsaikos everywhere.
first let me get this off my chest.
dang dang dang dang dang dang dang dang dam dang dam dang
dang dam dam dam….
okay
snap and clear
Things I’m taking away from the game.
1. Needs just a little more trust among the coaching staff.
to the new coaches, you doing good in biting your tongues. to the new coaches, gotta keep going the extra mile. remember, we’re all in this together. to the old coaches, Rich, Mack, you can do it, yes you can.
2. Training assistants, Mel and all, keep working smarter to keep our Warriors healthy.
3. Bradda Kazz, yu are a beastie boy!!! 😆
4. Don Weir, get Slugger to volunteer to help you. You are overworked, underpaid, underloved, underappreciated and understaffed. Go hobnob with the big boys, thats alright. But you’re way way way overbooked.
Bottom line, whatever you need, get it done. I’m volunteering Slugger to help you get through your checklist. 😀 I’ll be checking up this Tuesday. Thank you.
Go Warriors.
i’m still habut about last nite’s game. we shoulda won dat bugga. we coulda won dat bugga. we had dat bugga won. tank wuz just a little short on doze 2 routes. 6’4″ vs. 5’8″, no can dat kine, no can. we no dat in da cluches they gonna run everyone away from that play so that our short guyz are left alone.
the bottom line is we gotta knock doze tall guyz down at the line. jmo
Talking about those mismatches between UH’s db’s and UNLV’s wr’s; maybe it would be a good idea if UH starts utilizing speedy taller-athletic players like Earvin Sione to take on taller wr’s??, UNLV’s #88 and #4 were killing us last night.
But, as UH admits…..the offense has got to do a better job of scoring in the red zone…that would have put this baby to bed for sure.
I think that Louisiana Tech game is going to be a dooozy, I hope UH comes back with a big win, that’s another pivotal game.
Looking at the stats from the SMU/Washington State game last night, one wonders how the cougars pulled out a win??? SMU you might say, had it in the bag????….oh well. next.
Forgot to mention…..I think that the offense got bogged-down because they seemed to limit any running plays in the red zone….that or their running play(s), just weren’t clicking???(needs working on). Bottom line, when it’s one dimentional/predictable, you ain’t going no where=bogged-down.
