Graunke is back (sort of); busy day for UH trainers
Quarterback Tyler Graunke threw passes during warmups, but did not participate in 7-on-7 drills.
He said there was some tenderness in his right thumb, especially when he pulls it away from the right index finger. But he said he will undergo “triple treatment” today, and will practice tomorrow.
He said he will play in Saturday’s game against San Jose State.
Also practicing today were running backs David Farmer and Leon Wright-Jackson and defensive tackle Rocky Savaiigaea. Defensive tackle Fale Laeli was in uniform but did not participate in contact drills.
Here’s Graunke:

Numero uno, baby!
Game week, yeah.
yeah
Back on track for this weekend’s game! Bye week is over 🙂
Goodnight again…and to WarriorMojo and pride. too.
…and “Good night” to Al and ST!
i dozed off only to find who’s been lurking all this time.
so, ahem, mr. pride. who played alongside of you, jd, and bernard “soon to be mr. kauai mayor” carvalho?
let’s see…..kani kauahi, jesse sapolu
LUCKY SEVEN!
ain’t it kind of late in san antonio?
Offensive Line for the Warriors in 1981:
LT – Kani Kauahi/ Keith Ah Yuen
LG – Jesse Sapolu/ Jim Donovan
C – Nolan Baker/ Jesse Sapolu
RG – Bernard Carvalho/ Jim Donovan
RT – Jim Mills/ Keith Ah Yuen
These guys all started at sometime or another during the season. Left tackle was manned buy two lame offensive linemen, one battling an ankle sprain all year long, with the other battling an ankle sprain, a strained achilles tendon, and a strained MCL.
Where are they today?
Kani Kauahi is a coach for the Arizona team in the AFL. Played Center in the NFL but is now the pass rush coach in Arizona. Pass rush coach?
Jesse Sapolu is alumni coordinator for some NFL team. Also coaching football at Edison high in Anaheim. He should actually be coaching the offensive line of that NFL franchise that he works for.
Nolan Baker is a farmer in Kula, Maui. No one really knows exactly what it is that he is growing, but I’m pretty sure they don’t sell in your local store.
Bernard Carvalho is trying to join that illustrious club of speakers who can speak for thirty minutes and not say anything at all. Nah just joking. Bernard hopefully will become the next mayor of the island of Kaua’i. Bernard is actually a very good speaker, he is very polished but still maintains the country boy values.
Jim Donovan last I heard is trying to run a big business on a shoestring budget. Just joking. But then again not really.
Jim Mills had a very successful football career with the BC Lions, after several years with the Baltimore Colts. I’m sure he is bartending somewhere in British Columbia, because bars is where he felt most comfortable. Jim would make a good Tsai-ko. No one made Mark Gastineau more angry than Jim Mills. Gastineau claimed that Jim held him on every play. Of course Gasteneau was right, Jim was real good at it. Jim learned real well from observing BYU offensive linemen for four years.
Keith Ah Yuen is employed by the Tsai-ko nation. He is still at the entry level lurker status but is working his way to the desired member status.
and didn’t everyone of these guys get a pro look?
probably the best oline ever.
Good morning Al, Pride. and anyone else still up.
It’s to bad that the internet wasn’t as widespread as it is today, where you can follow your home team from anywhere. I was in AZ. back then and trying to get any sports news from home was almost impossible then.
AL:
It’s 0620hrs in San Antonio. Some would say it’s early in the morning, I say it’s late, because I have not been to bed yet.
GOOD MORNING????
Sheesh…. I should get some sleep…
But it was a big win-filled weekend for our Wahine in volleyball and in soccer….
LET’S GO “MEN OF MANOA”!!!!
The “Tomey Terror” awaits the Warriors on Saturday, it’s MAKE OR BREAK TIME!!!
Be back in about ten hours… 😉
One snap en clear.
It’s on to WAC play with San Jose St. Next

Good morning Tsaikos everywhere.
Dick Tomey,
da man who led da Rainbows to many fun filled memories, welcome home bradda!
an tanks for da memories, me an my fren wuz da 2 babuuzkas in CC yellow at da very top, wit my 2 girls, laughin an yellin our @$$ off! my daughter wen remine me…
So, I say dis wit all sincerity: too bad we gonna have to buss yo feelinz up! Nuttin personal… well, heck…. yes, it is personal! 😀 We’re Warrior Nation! 😀
Go Warriors!!!
Kinda Shy,
howzit Tsaiko. Tell bradda Jim dat we feel real good wit him at da helm. I hope he enjoyin dat lil book my granson wen give him.
Kinda Shy,
btw, if you’d be so kind, could you kinda snuggle up to da babuuzka an ask him like dis:
“hon, when you gonna make nice nice to da UCLA, Stanford, Cal an USC guyz fo meet anytime in da fewcha (4-7 years from now) fo a home an home in Sep or Dec, pretty please…. ” 😀 dat would be one big blessing… 😀 thanks …. 😀
Jim D,
I know you know these things, i’m just repeatin myself for my benefit, because hopefully you’re already there.
its neva too urlee to plan fo da fewcha..
gotta make things easier so that big schools would like to come to Hawaii and play us. 2 reasons to play us. 1. we have a good football program 2. it is good for their players to play us as they can add a extra day package if we’re the last game of their season and they visit here, stay Turtle Bay, visit PolyCult.Ctr, relax. remote, makes good memories.
realistically, the schools that should want to agree to the home and home in December are probably those programs who are not likely to be vying for a national championship. That would historically be
Stanford, Cal Berkely, Oregon, UoW, WashSt.
Others who would do it for other reasons include BYU, UCLA and USC.
just some ideas, dats all. good job, Jim!
Pride,
Thank you very much for that recap of the 1981 OL! I love learning about how the former UH players are doing, and the OL often do not get the attention they deserve. People often can remember the QB/RB/WR on the team, but the OL makes their glory possible.
Of course, the accomplishments of many of the 1981 OL members after their players careers at UH was over has kept them from being forgotten. What an awesome group!
bighilofan2,
The best teams to play at UH at the end of the season are those without conference championship games. That means Pac-10, MWC, and (less likely) Big 10. I’m sure that JD has been talking with all of the Pac-10 teams that have openings in their schedule for home-and-home deals.
While I would prefer UH play home-and-home deals with Stanford or Cal, with road games on the years that SJSU comes to Hawaii (giving UH a road game in the Bay Area every year to help with recruiting), I’d take any Pac-10 team that comes to Aloha Stadium!
I am so glad that it is game week! Lori thought things were weird this weekend when I didn’t have a UH game to watch, an especially big contrast since I went to the Oregon State game. Saturday just doesn’t feel right in the Fall without a Warrior game!
SJSU site has info on the game this week. Sad that SJSU’s official site cannot get UH’s name correct!
Looks like SJSU’s strength on D is their pass defense. Looks like Coach Tomey has a good D again.
There are a couple of SJSU defenders that the OL and RB will really need to worry about.
SJSU has 2 TEs that are threats…that always worries me because it seems like UH hasn’t stopped the TEs in forever. The best job against the TEs was in the 2006 Hawaii Bowl vs. Arizona State…
Coach Tomey has a lunch and talk with the SJSU students…sad only 20 showed up.
Looks like Bess got hit hard during a return yesterday. Sadly, that is not unusual for returners, but that is the price to pay for having that role.
ST & Tsaiko Blog Dogs,
Game week is finally here! Getting Warrior withdrawals! As Mental Mele would say…shi shi panty time!!!
Go Warriors! Beat SJS!
Morning, Tsaiko-Nation and Tsai-Meister.
Well, here it is, the make or break week. This game hinges completely on how much the offense get’s its mojo back. They have to work like crazy to get in sync this week.
I hope Tyler is at full strength without lingering effects on his hand. He must be 100%, otherwise we will see some wobbly passes.
We are playing a very good Tomey defense, so if we can move the ball consistently, it will bode well for our WAC future. There is a hell of a lot on the line this Saturday.
Have a great day everybody.
Tsai-Meister,
Are we going to get another report today from this mornings practice? I’m really curious how Tyler is throwing with his bad hand, a scary key to the game.
Good Morning Tsaikos!!
Looking forward to the reports from practice today. I hope with the 3 days off, the boys are recharged and ready to get the WAC season started.
Morning gang-
Ted, your right. This is THE Make or Break game.
Fans need to unite with color coded wear at the stadium and bring ( sneak) in any noise maker, along with healthy lungs to help make that difference.
Betcha the Stanford game last Sat. had a low attendance. The fans CAN help make a difference. Spread the good word guys. EZ to attend when living on the island.
Maverick,
33,293 attended the Stanford-SJSU game. I hope that there are a lot more people than that at Aloha Stadium on Saturday!
Good morning all!
Yup, game week.
Ya know, if we see every player at every position giving 100% this week, we’ll do great. In fact we can run the table from this point on if the players are all doin’ what they’re supposed to. Like a wise but lowly Tsaiko who happens to be a former UH lineman sez: “100% all the time.” I know that sounds like coach style rhetoric, but in this case, it’s simply true.
We are a better team than what we’ve showed. Like LWJ said last week, it’s like different parts of the team have played well, while others played poorly, and that the different groups took turns playin’ well and screwin’ up. If we see everybody playin’ up at 100%, we’ll see a win.
Nuff said.
GO WARRIORS!!!
Hi Maverick, Stretch, Garret and Ted. Hows yous guys doin dis mornin’? 😉
Any word on how Funaki is doing with his head injury? I’d like to see him get one more chance in there. He looked bad in the Weber State game but it seemed he was trying to do what worked for him in the Florida game.–running around. I still think Graunke should start if his hand is healed, but I’d like to see the homeboy gets some snaps to prove its not time for the JC guys to move into the backup slot.
Garret –
That’s pretty low attendance ( 33K) for both schools being only 10 miles apart. The capacity is around 50K.
Remember the Stanford season opener with Oreg. St. ? The stands didn’t seem that full either.
I was reading the about this years promo’s for UH games, but nothing too special for this week.
I’m am glad there trying to get more students invovled with the transportation and affordable tix. That’s a great start.
The Family Pak is still questionable though.
Just reminds me of a hotel with empty rooms. Do whatever it takes to fill those rooms. They don’t make $ with no people inside.
Pomai,
30-28 Hawaii including 3 field goals from Dan Kelly.
34-17 UH
Go Warriors!!!!!
Hi, PBK, Maverick, Garret, NYUH et al. A good morning to you.
Florida heat has somewhat cooled off and the weather is becoming pleasant. Makes for nice walks along the Boardwalk.
NYUH,
As you know I love Funaki and his athletic abilities and character, but he hasn’t given me in any game that winning feeling. My big problem with him is that he just doesn’t see the field and I’ve never seen him getting past the second option, before running around.
I really don’t have a feel for the JC’s right now, we haven’t seen much of them. I really hope they’ll get some playing time against San Jose, that would also mean that we’re winning comfortably.
morning tsai-ko country
qucik howzit to all and have a good day and great week. reminda to let Kazz know what you planning on for this saturday’s tgate. we need to know if gotta make fire again.
Ted,
Were really seeing first hand how a talented JC quarterback takes on Hawaii’s R & S offense, even with Alexanders past experience of operating a spread offense. Takes time, and maybe an entire season to learn.
Best we recruit freshman QB’s and redshirt them from now on.
Maverick,
Agree completely.
Aloha all,
muddle-huddle awareness week is hea!
GO Warriors!!!
I’m still holding hope that Alexander or Raush can compete in the WAC their first season with the Warriors.
That Florida game might of been a smoke screen from what they can really do against our other competitors.
Let’s hope we have a game coming up that would allow them some playing time under favorable matters.
On a good note:
Dwight Lowery has moved on from SJSU.
That guy was THE shiny coin for the team, making turnovers happen and turning them into scores
POMAI:
UH-21
SJSU-10
POMAI:
HAWAII—9
SAN JOSE STATE—24
SORRY!
Ya know, we kinda took him for granted these past years but it will be good to get Farmer back in there. The guys a real work horse and a consistent, proven performer.
Pride: Haha, Jesse Sapolu as the 49ers offensive line coach, I like that. I’m not the biggest fan of George Warhop, although he’s had to deal with inept pass blockers and injuries the past few years. In fact, I’m not a big fan of most of that coaching staff.
DPK-
Yes, Farmer will be one of the key players for the game. His blocking and running skills are most excellent. I think many of us were trying to compare him to the Ilaoa or Mauia type, and he is his own identity and talent.
He is one Big piece of the puzzle needed for completion.
PBK,
You’re right about Farmer. With him in there, he may be able to buy our QB that extra second to throw to the third or fourth option.
Pomai:

Go Warriors!
good morning you all.
all you tsaiko’s its time to put on your game face.
its time to put up or shut up.
its time to show up for the game come saturday.
can’t you hear coach mac and the team?
they need you to show and support!
this is the game.
just when they need you the most.
jason…..you know george warhop?
Pomai-

Imua Warriors!
Right now, until the team is back on the winning track, I’m refraining from posting score predictions, just in case it is bachi for the team. We must get a handle on this season first. I’m taking a win, any win, for the next game.
On the other hand, my gut feeling tells me that this will be the game where the Warriors find themselves as one unit.
Pomai…21 – 14 UH…GO WARRIORS!!!
Good morning Tsaikos and Tsaikettes!!!!
There’s one prediction I will make, San Jose won’t score more than 17 points, you can take that to the bank.
al…I told you, Jason is older than he looks….
Pomai-
UH 35, SJSU 24. Game week- auryte!
Great Morning All.
Still trying to get back in the swing of things but will have to take it easy for one more day.
Not sure how much they can accomplish in an hour today but maybe we’ll hear something soon.
Things were definitely a bit “Koyaanisqatsi-ish” last week but all things look well-focused again ’cause it’s GAME WEEK! 🙂
(j)j…..plus he listens to old beatles music.
yah, yah, yah, yah……
al…Beatles music??? I thought he liked Yanni?? or was it Zamfir and his pan flute??? Oh wait, that was somebody else….MWAHAHAHAHHA
got the morning practice report from ST.
He says that he was lonely since SJ & myki were not at practice today. Most of the injured players were back practicing. A lot of shuffling personnel around the offensive line. Rocky is back in the mix. Blaze was out there walking around but not practicing yet. Mainly first team against service team practice then some conditioning.
Hopefully ST can give us the more detailed info from practice
aloha Al,
we would love to be there for the game with sjsu, but we will be back in ‘Wildcat Country’. they play Utah, oh my, and then the following week will be Montana.
great game against Sacramento State, a former opponent of sjsu who went into OT and won by a field goal (sjsu did). cameron had 4 TD passes and almost 400 yds passing.
the beast played well, did manage to take the starting qb out of the game with a sprained knee. something about the DE had the QB’s ankles and the beast finished him off, a vicious hit. that’s football.
late in the game, 4th and 1 with 2:21 on the clock, Sac State has the ball and are going for it down 32-27. big push, #95 takes the double team and pushes them back, RB has no hole to find, LB makes the initial hit and the beast gets an assist on the stop.
so a good game, but ther real treat? haha, i packed 5 lbs, fresh ahi, chopped ogo, fresh limu, maui onions, aunty liz’s hawaiian salt, sesame oil, sesame seed, hawaiian chili peppers, shoyu and made da ‘bulla special’. i thought david copperfield was in the house the way that mixing bowl of FRESH POKE disappeared, haha.
i had to toss coach chad from maui the bag of dry ahi i stashed for him….
make memories, make memories, make memories
talk about true friends, 2008 SL grad Josh Saio, caught 2 trains and 1 bus from San Mateo to get to the game to see his cousins (Cameron & Zack) and classmate ‘the beast’ play…..he is playing baseball for San Mateo, but said nothing was going to stop him from seeing his ‘boyz’ play today.
all tsaikos, have a good day, and be a blessing to others.
So I guess Garret is travelling now so maybe I can try to fill in some of the blanks (hopefully w/out shooting any 😯 ) Be patient, I no mo da searches set up like him and I no read as fast either….
Looks like Fresno will be going with some young ‘uns at DL for the next few weeks. There top two DT’s have gone down in the past two games.
Good morning everyone!
The last refresh I did here gave me the blog comments with no graphics or ads. At the bottom, it read:

I can’t check it out personally right now since Peaches took my iTouch to D.C. 😐
d1shima,
I don’t leave until tomorrow morning, but I hadn’t seen that Fresno news before. Thank you for posting it! I have a ton of work to do before my trip, so I’m not going to post much more after I post the info about recruiting budgets next.
Amazing article about the tremendous increase in recruiting budgets…over the time period where HF kept UH’s recruiting budget flat at $50k.
tks bulla for the report!
josh would go.
those guys are more like brothers than cousins from hanabata daze.
great stuff for the beast and cam!
i guess we gotta wait for the bulla special. what four years from now? hahahaha.
better take my suggestion and have one of you go work for united or delta air. maybe nick needs a part time job?
Looks like increasing recruiting budgets directly paid off with more wins for Kansas State and Maryland.
d1…..what’s the linfield report for this weekend?
The recipe for success against SJSU was to stuff the run and force them to try to throw deep. That led to all the sacks. Offensively, the Cardinal pounded the rock.
Could that influence the UH braintrust this coming week?
Schools have found success at recruiting places where they can drive within 5 hours or less or take short plane rides…Hawaii has to use a different tactic. Hard to believe that only ONE BCS-conference school has a men’s recruiting budget less than $500k.
Bulla,
Great to hear how the Beast is doing! I hope that Weber State beats Utah today…that would be great for Weber State, knock Utah out of the BCS race, and make UH’s game with Weber State look a lot better.
Garret,
OK, well the pressure is off then. I no need read so fast today. haha
al,
Yep. It’s finally game week for those Wildcats, too. I’ve found that their SID has his own blog going and there is some other sources (you’d think our son would be a good one but all we get is , “Everything’s alright.”)Then there’s this guy…he is a little off-beat but this blogger seems to have the most up-to-date stuff on Linfield football. click on my name but be prepared!
Pomai:
54-10 Hawai’i with Graunke going for 90% completion and Solomon Elimimian takes SJSU’s qb out for the season during their first drive.
hehehe, crazy, I know but yeah.
Okay.
So I feel good about today’s practice-sort of! 😕
“triple treatment”?
SteveM: I think that plug-in is installed by the admin of the blog, not the user. Besides, I think it’s already set up like that here I get that same copyright notice/plug-in link when I’m on my iPod touch (like right now).
al: Not personally! But he’s been the 49ers offensive line coach for a few years already.
And there’s nothing wrong with me listening to the Beatles. I listen to all kinds of music. 🙂
Dangling particples. Not hard to do.
D1-
I’m still feelin’ that bug too. I clicked on your name. Thanks for the warning. Red Neck. Red face. Red nipples??!! Ugh. I like the cigarrette behind the dude’s ear. 😆
The Beatles are the originals. The Masters. Ask any old guy, like say, Papa al. 😉
You are correct Jason — thanks. when I see “plug-in” I always think client side. Anyway, nice that the HA blog and techs are implementing the plug-in.
Back to work for me–kinda rushed today.
Great news about the WildSnowBeast herr Bulla. Yah, tell ’em all we said to beat Utah.
Ok. Took the cold meds. Gotta lie down soon. Everything is gettin kind of
“Koyaanisqatsi-ish”. Thank you for such a useful term, D1.

Like, wow man.
oops thinking of something else my bad
Kazz,
The wild and roaming Warrior Poet.
Anybody at practice this morning? What’s the word on Graunkes throwing?
OK, fess up.
Who snuck the extra shot into Kazz’ venti latte? 😆
O.K. Tsai-Meister,
Just saw your new post on top, thanks. That worries me a little (well, a lot), hope he’s at full capacity for the game.
Is it legal to get something like a cortizone shot before the game?
sorry to say but imho graunke ain’t gonna be ready by saturday nite. triple treatment can’t heal as well as time. but i ain’t a doctor so we’ll see. need to lean heavily on the d in this one. good to see rocky back. my hope is blaze is back by 10/4 against fresno. da guys at sports medicine hawaii said they’d be shocked to see him back by SJSU but you can’t count out his heart.
anyone know what time da bama/uga is dis weekend. really looking forward to that, hopefully can catch dat one even if it has to be in the stadium. wanna see what knowshon can do against saban’s 3-4, and their 365 lb tank in da middle.
w/ that said i’m still a homer so…….
UH 23-SJSU16
Thanks ST for the update on Graunke.
When Colt rolled his ankle last season, he shot it up with something just so he could play that UNLV game the next day, and he looked fine, but of course we all know how that turned out for him the next game and so forth…
It’s like the same situation here but a little different. There is no run at the BCS this season, but there is a WAC title to defend. Some people think this season is strictly a rebuilding one, but as ST mentioned in a previous blog, the future is now especially with 33 seniors.
Judging by what the inury was and how it is today, I could see him playing this Saturday but in all honestly NOT the whole game and depending on how the game goes for Graunke physically, he could be questionable IN Fresno.
Kazz…I like your points….
I wonder how things will be in the yellow section this game??? Things could get interesting at that distance from the field….
DPC,
Yup, athletes are the WORST at diagnosing themselves. That is where their heart and determination tell the brain (and doctors) to ****-off.
I digress…
Congratulations to Kanani Herring for being chosen as WAC player of the week. One of many more to come in her career. I say she’ll get WAC Freshman of the Year if not Player of the Year. If we make it to the final 4, she will at least get National Freshman of the Year.
Welcome back Farmer and Libre. You were missed.
Take care Leon. I know that you have been the victim of a few cheap shots. Get well brother the team needs you.
Jason you out there??
Kazz,
If Graunke is not 100%, I’d rather sit him out one more week to have him at full strength for the rest of the season, count heavily on the defense and play musical chairs with the other three QB’s, to see who will seize the day.
Bummer, I didn’t know Kanani Herring was injured. She’s going to be something else for us over the next few years.
I hope the run of bad luck injuries everywhere comes to an end.
Hey what happened to Kanani???
Get well Tehane. They need you.
Tough break for Bryce. Take care brother.
Nice pics – GO ROCKY! until started scrolling down…crutches & braces, yikes!
Speedy recovery to all the injured UH athletes!
When did Herring get hurt? In practice?
Whoops. Wasn’t Tehane. Leila corrected me. But that is Herring. I saw the label on her backpack.
Hey, who sneaked in a picture of his son?
ST — when and where was the photo of Devon taken?
Hey Tsai-Master tricked me but I thought she did look different. Taryn takes a real pounding but she keeps getting back up. She is a warrior.
how could you read the name tag on her backpack? its all blurry. ok, nvm, i’ll go back to sitting here at the terminal waiting for my flight.
what did we all do before the internet?
For $100,000 per month, we are not getting good value for our money. Mac is seriously overpaid and UH is properly overrated.
UH 27 – SJS 9
FloridaTed,
JJ went insane on Nevada last season and threw all kinds of stuff at him in the beginning before sticking with Graunke for 80% of the game.
I remember tossing out 5-wide at Nevada, then throwing Colt in for a few snaps, and then Funaki on some option runs, and then Graunke all the way through.
With someone so tuned in to our program like Tomey, I wouldn’t be surprised if Mack and Co. throw all kinds of stuff at them.
thanx hugh— but imho this is the game that tells us whether or not they’re gonna do something significant this year. i’ll save judgment til after this game. most realists (if we were thinking with our heads not our hearts) thought we were gonna be 1-2 after the first 1/4 of games. of course, we didn’t think we’d struggle against Weber or get destroyed against OSU, but nonetheless we’re still 1-2. let’s wait before making rash opinions. 🙂
Lab Rat,
I was watching that game against Montana (I think?) and Fukuroku was getting some mean hits and just kept coming… talk about a linebacker mentality…
BUT WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO HERRING?!?!?!?!?!?
I did not like when Hugh was AD. I did not like his choice of coach before JJ arrived.
WAFFLES:
Better with peanut butter and jelly in between two of them…
Try em!
😆 Yes, during those times that coach was overpaid.
Kazz yes that Montana game really showed her heart.
I did not want to say that about Hugh but it was what I was thinking.
Chawan:
I saw Herring sitting down.
Mouton and Ryan Henry were talking to her.
I wasn’t sure who she was, but she looked important (hey, tunnel vision, I only focus on one sport at a time).
So I went behind her, and the name tag said Herring.
Then a coach confirmed it was her.
I guess waffles are now finger food.
But, hey, when I’m home — alone — I eat spaghetti with my fingers.

The photo was taken Saturday night on my in-law’s driveway.
Garret,
33000 is actually pretty good attendance at Stanford Stadium (50,000 capacity). Remember Stanford is in a rebuilding year.
I remember when the old stanford stadium had capacity of 90,000.
Kazz,
The crazy plays are fine and dandy, but in the end it’s mano a mano in the trenches and execution. Over the course of a game, that’s what brings the win. Right now the Warriors need to execute what they know with precision and the rest will follow.
The fork in the road is in front of us, which one will the Warriors take?
What??? I can’t believe it. ST saw Herring in crutches, was there and did not ask her what happened?????
Davon looks like a pro, I hope he didn’t burn himself.
The rest of the pictures look like a Hospital ward, yikes.
What’s wrong with ST?!?
That’s it. He can’t cover women’s volleyball anymore.
Actually, there’s a good reason I didn’t get to talk to her.
… it was because I ran into Mario Cox.
How is Mario??
ST – so where you gonna watch the J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets play this afternoon??
Ah, what better way to impress the in-laws than to have your progeny do a war dance with fire in their driveway?
Mario is actually in shape.
And he’s enrolled in school.
He’s doing very well.
Well I’m sure merv and Buckhead Bulldog are “out of sorts” today with the announcement that Larry Munson is retiring “effective immediately”
ST,
You have’nt answered our questions about Herring’s injury…Inquiring minds want to know.
Got my answer, thanks..
On breaking news, Herring was on crutches because she apparently tweaked her ankle in practice this mornining. According to Shoji, she will be practicing tomorrow and making the road trip.
Yeah, what’s up with Herring? C’mon, put your volleyball reporting cap on …
Good news, Hoohiki.
Nice to hear that Mario is doing okay.
Wheww I can hear that sound across Hawaii. Herring’s photo made the injury look serious. Good to know that she will be just fine.
Thank you for the update. Dang, I’m slow with this one-finger typing. 😛
Just to add more details…on Herring.
According to Shoji, the injury status is unknown at this point, but she will be making the road and will probably practice tomorrow. (I don’t know how he can say what she can or can’t do because her prognosis is unknown…Hmmm)
Good to hear that Mario is taking care of school. I’m glad he didn’t quit.
Hey Jason I got a question.
Washington State’s starting QB suffered a career-ending neck injury in their last game. They will now be starting a freshman at QB, the former #3 QB who did not get many practice reps. Amazing that the freshman threw for TDs in his first 2 passes on Saturday.
This blogger approved of Derek Jeter’s date to the Yankee Stadium celebration yesterday.
I think Herring has some sort of an ankle injury.
She needed help putting on her right shoe.
And somebody had to come pick her up by car. Or as one player noted: We have curb-side service here.
I hope that Herring is okay soon!
Lower Manoa Valet Service?? Glad Mario is fine and well.
Somebody bringing ‘finger foods’ to the yellow section Saturday??? LMAO
JJ – doesn’t the A-House family have boiled peanuts???
Garret:
Wasnt that thank you speach by Derek Jeter classic. Derek is a class act for sure.
ST — impressive picture of Devon! He constantly surprises me.
Did ST, say that the pic of Devon is in the driveway?
If so, that is one helluva theft deterant!!!
Isn’t it hard to get up in the yellow section?
Parents should not allow their kids to play with fire. That is how houses burn down.
…and it’s not really worth it since there aren’t those hand-rolled delicacies up there anymore.
I like Shoji’s coach-speak about Kanani’s injury.
Not making fun of Graunke but he looks like one of those movie characters that just got infected by an alien virus.
Doesn’t XLiz sit in the yellow section? Who sits next to her?
I think Graunke goes to my barber.
Hey ST, your son is looking good!
UH vs SJSU…fourth game of the season for the Warriors…countless hours in the weight room, on the practice field, in the film room…By now I’d think they’d be clicking on offense and playing up and up on defense…will this be the game?…
Looking forward to the t-gate this Saturday.
Kekoa – if you going bring oysters then I going bring something else.
Slow day today. Did everyone go mountain hiking?
Graunke has “helmet hair” it looks like.
Devon Tsai must be really popular on the barbecue party circuit.
Aloha everyone,
Sorry I’ve been neglecting the WB for a while, been kinda busy, but I have been posting on Tsaikette Kelli’s page, talking about college, and whatnot… those were the days (only about 4 years ago) I’m looking forward to seeing what UH can/will do against WAC competition… I mean honestly folks, UH is exactly where the prognosticators expected us to be at this point in the season. We weren’t supposed to win at Florida, and we weren’t supposed to win @ Oregon State… (not to say I didn’t think we COULD have won at either place…) Now comes the part of the season that really matters, and I think we’ll be okay… Just gotta believe, and MAKE MEMORIES!!!
NEO out…
I see the Wahine VB team will have a tough road trip, 3 games in 5 days. The WAC test will be this Saturday in Las Cruces.
GO WAHINE
GO WARRIORS
Referring to Garret’s # 148 post
Man, Wash. St must of really p*ssed somebody off recently.
They have had nothing but bad Voodoo against them from Spring camp and on.
.( sing it) ..Oh that Voodoo that you do….
By the time they reach Honolulu, it could be an insignificant game. :<
so stretch….are a lot of folks switching over to go! airlines?
stretch is mr. johnson on your email list?
Warning! Warning!
If you don’t want to know the score because you are watching it later
Don’t look here…
….
….
Ready?
TD!
J-E-T-S!
Pik 6!
TD!
Happy 22nd Birthday to “the Farm Dog”, David Farmer.
.

BTW, I didn’t realize it til now but RGM was born on Sept 12th and Davone on Sept 13th.. Just something for your next trivial pursuit game..
Happy Birthday, Mr. Farmer!
Maverick,
and now he’s doing it for the J-E-T-S.
Happy Birthday David Farmer.
Hopefully you end up with something more than a folded up waffle with which to celebrate. (no dangling participle here)
Visiting Lake Tahoe over the winter, I saw a guy with a hot dog stand right at the base of the ski lift.
Putting the steaming weiners inside a waffle cone. Selling it for $9.00 each.
Was killing it everyday.
My point.
Something a miss with a dog in a waffle cone. Any hard core East coaster would of slapped him silly.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DAVID FARMER!!!
Can’t wait to have you back in the backfield!
Do most NFL/College teams line up 15 yds off the ball on KOR?
Happy Birthday David!
d1: I dunno, his waffle/pancake looks pretty good…
d1 – I didn’t know they played in Korea.
homey,
I wouldn’t expect you to know…you only watching the Yellow sections with your binoculars during the kick-offs! 🙄
midori7,
All pancakes look good to you!
Way off topic, but wouldn’t it be nice, someday, if all the Olympic medals won by former UH athletes at the 2008 games end up in a showcase within the athlectic complex.
Talk about something to see – maybe even charge $1 per person – A-House ohana would go – it would be our one and only chance to see a real Olympic medal.
d1 – What for need watch the yellow? Get plenty action in the blue section.
A-House,
First of all… congrats on the new edition to the A-House Ohana 😉 … Just another addition to the already impressive collection you folks got!
And I too would like to see a nice BIG display case of ALL the championships UH-related somewhere visible to the public. The trophy case in the SSC next to Gate A is fine, but most of those things are from way back when and it seems empty.
Imagine how visibly appealing it would be to have all the football, basketball, baseball, softball, and volleyball trophies (including football bowl games and WAC titles) all on display for the people to see when they enter the SSC. It’s a nice reminder to the visiting fans as well! 😈
A-House – Hmmmm, how many former UH athletes won Olympic medals? If I won an Olympic medal I wouldn’t keep it at UH. But that’s just me.
Let’s see, Bown, Willoughby, Ah-Mow Santos, Stanley, Kai…okay, that’s all I can think of. Was there any international players that won medals and attended UH at some time or another.
A-House – Does HF count?
Just got a call from Wassup – the UH has filed a Motion to Dismiss the Objection to the Ching/Cooke field turf contract filed by Ching on the basis that he filed it too late. That Motion will be heard on Thursday and if the Motion is not granted, the hearing will be on Friday. By law, objections have to be filed timely and it would appear that the objection was filed late.
I understand some of our more outspoken Tsaikos have been e-mailing the Hearings Officer or the Department – DON’T DO IT. It is totally improper and all it can do is cause the Hearings Officer or the Department to get all huhu.
homey,
😳 Now I’m feeling a little self-conscious 😕
That’s why I was wondering about the way they line-up, here, in SD or in Korea
how does mouton compare to dwight lowery?
Lowery plays on Sundays and Mondays?
uhh thanx d1, ….
go bolts– let da ed hochuli karma carry you on to a looong winning streak from this point forward 🙂
Dwight Lowery – 5’11”, 201 lbs, 4.62 sec. 40 yard time, 16 reps @ 225#’s, 33.5″ vertical…NFL combine.
homey…that’s cold man??
Stretch – Boiled nuts in the yellow section?
d1 – What? No more hand rolls up in the yellow section any more??
d1 – I thought Steve M scanned the yellow section??
Brok da blog.
Well maybe Mouton would have a little trouble covering Gates, too.
SAN JOSE STATE: The Looming Threat
Excerpts from “Coach Ken” from Sports Hawaii:
lab rat: Then you should ask it. Or e-mail me, jnagaoka (at) hawaii.rr.com.
I saw CoachKen’s post. He always has good stuff, and he’s a nice guy.
Jesse Sapoulu was here on Maui a few weeks ago, coaching his highschool football team Edison High against, my former HS Lahainaluna in a pre-season game.
Aloha Tsaiko friends!
I really liked Duffer’s post yesterday about going to the UNLV game next year. He sharpened the focus and helped eliminate some of the confusion. I agree that what we need to do right now is decide “Would I like to go or not?”. Not “Am I going?”. We just need an indication for planning purposes. The game is way too far in the future to ask for definite confirmations.
Duffer was right there as I spoke to Tom about the game next year. I was spouting off about wanting to have our own jet charter to the game…and doing the ha’a…and flash cards. I’m a firm believer in dreaming big, sharpening the focus, and then making it happen. And I’m not alone. I’ve met so many Tsaiko’s who dream big and make it happen.
Since the Weber game, my thinking has evolved to:
1. Personally, I would like to stay away from asking Rich or LV to procure tickets. Based on this past year, the Sugar Bowl, T-gates, etc., I would think that we’re going to need 2-300 tix for Tsaikos, friends, relatives, and lurkers. That’s a lot to ask a person to front on his credit card. Last year, Rick took the time to fly to Vegas, go to the ticket office, and purchase the tix. He then had to mail a lot of them out to folks…and then process checks and thank-you’s. That was an INCREDIBLE amount of work! I wouldn’t want to reward him by asking him to do 2-3 times the work this year. He needs to spend his time taking care of Margo.
2. I would be a huge advocate for staying at the same hotel and having events together. Some folks will have reasons for staying elsewhere, and that’s fine. And some people will be going to the Wazzu game the previous week. But, past experience tells us that there’s no bigger or better place to be than where Tsaiko’s congregate…so let’s make that our destination.
3. By leveraging our collective group, we can do things we couldn’t dream of doing other-wise. Remember that we got BrianK his iTouch, bracelets for the softball team, JUG machines fixed for the Warriors, assistance for Rainbow Cliff, and more. There’s no reason that we can’t get the best deal(s) possible if we stick together. If we have the best bang for the buck, who wouldn’t want to be on our plane to Vegas? It would be an opportunity to invite the other boards to join us. Can you imagine a 5 hr flight with sports fans?!! We can practice the Ha’a. Or learn cheers. How about the Tsaiko All-Star Band doing some entertaining? Auntie, Uncle, and grandma/grandpa would go Tsaikotic!
4. All of the above are reasons we should work through the Boyd Group. They give us a one point contact with the clout to make things happen. I can’t emphasize how important that is. Any changes (they’ll be many) and we just pick up the phone and talk to one person. They’ve already said that they’ll offer a game package (tailgate, trans, tix), hotel package, and air package. People can pick one, two, or all three. The more people we bring in under the Tsaiko banner, the more perks we’ll have…everyone understands that.
5. One thing I would ask the Boyd Group. Please make our charter with Hawaiian and not Omni or anyone else.
Actually, not really concerned about the charter to LV right now. Things will sort themselves out.

Happy birthday (tomorrow) to Ryan Mouton!
I didn’t know that the zoo had a hippo.
OK, question: Has the zoo ever had a rhino?
Gee, just got home to my email and the late afternoon blog–you guys are making me nervous. Yes… I sit in yellow section opposite the TV cameras with Liz…and Peaches, and JaM, and Brie, and soon Mei Ling. 🙂
But this week, section JJ yellow real estate gets more interesting with Mr. & Mrs. Long Time UH Fan substituting for me!
BTW, Long Time figures (correctly and perceptively) that I need a goooood lunch this week. Camellia, of course… Wednesday 11:30 AM. Please join us!
http://www.honoluluzoo.org/black_rhinoceros.htm
http://www.honoluluzoo.org/white_rhinoceros.htm
Yeah last I remember there is ONE rhino. It shares the same space as the ONE ostrich. Last I remember there is no fence between their paddock and the public viewing area, but there is a ditch…
The Honolulu Zoo needs bigger bears. Those tiny sun bears are just not as exciting.
Well, I did see The Bear today.
AhSoon is on crutches.
ST,
You should see the bears at the Zoo, AhSoon could easily pancake one of those into submission.
BG- I like the way you think. Going through the Boyd group makes tons of sense strategically. Let them take care of all the details so we can just go party and have fun! I don’t like thinking much when I go to Vegas, other than figuring bet odds on the craps tables!
ltuh…..my stomach will think of you guys on wednesday.
RE: Next year UH @ UNLV
Tickets to the Boyd Tailgate which includes food, drink, game ticket, transfer to game and back are going to be $95 each. Game tickets most likely in the end zone. The $95 is on top of the cost of the regular package which includes airfare, hotel, baggage handling, 3 meals a day and airport transfers. If you go through Boyd Gaming/Vacations Hawaii the flight will be on OMNI. The flight schedules are already set. VH may do something with Hawaiian but expect to pay 250-300 more pp based on double occupancy. Theres a dude on this board that works for BG. He might know more.
OMG! That’s a lot of “broken” people. I hope they get better soon. I guess some people get hurt from sports and then there’s me who falls down the stairs instead.
Great to hear about Mario.
evening tsai-ko’s just a reminder of the up and coming tgate events.
Jason I wanted to ask you about your Itouch. does it work with WPA? I read somewhere that some people were having problems with it. I got one coming.
Camellia McCully?
Tommui,
Yes, Tom, it’s Camellia McCully…
Monday Night Football
I worry about those “JEST” fans, they don’t know how to spell.
ditto to BG comments on the 09 UH/LV game. kinda sums up what many of us may be thinking plus I foa da leverage and the Hawaiian part.
howzit gangeeeeeee, suuup tonight
Stretch – too many beers and its “Go Jest.”
InLV
Thanks for your input at #217. My observation is that last year was last year and this year is a new ball game with the beating that Downtown has taken to date and will most likely continue through next year. BTW folks, when InLV refers to “BG”, he’s talking about the Boyd Group and not me.
Anyhow, I’m confident that the Tsaikos will convey the message that we need attractive packages (most people have normal paying jobs here) else we’ll do it ourselves. I do recall that the Boyd folks at our last T-gate said that we could have our own tailgate or join the one that’s regularly planned. As for the jet charter, I think some folks are working on that already. Shows that we believe in the 6 P’s as well as the 6 F’s. 😀
6 P’s = Precision Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance
Koakane
Went to Schofield yesterday and was junk…no mo what you wanted but plenty other colors (Farrington, Texas orange, etc). Tomorrow, I’m going to stop by Hickam. I’ll call you.
TChahng
DVD on the way!
Remember how last year I (and so many other Warrior fans) were focused on the computers that are used in the BCS rankings? Well, they sure have some interesting computer rankings now. Some highlights:
Massey computer rankings:
1. USC (fine)
2. Boise State (!!!)
32. Oklahoma (!)
39. Duke (look who they are ahead of!)
40. Florida (what?)
Colley computer rankings:
14. USC
23. Texas
25. Oklahoma
Remember that last year fans had the option of booking through ATA and Aloha Airlines. Hawaiian is currently the only airline that provides non stop service. Vacations-Hawaii/OMNI goes nonstop but they only provide charter service. I would suggest booking the air or package early whatever route you take, the price will only go up. Also, OMNI planes are 757-200’s not the large DC-10’s they used last year for the week of the UNLV game. There will not be as many seats to purchase and many of the seats are blocked already for high rollers that live in Hawaii.
OK…time to pay bills
bbl
lab rat: IDK, mine is with WEP. I had trouble getting it to work at first, but it clicked eventually. It can be a pain to setup, but I don’t remember how I did it. Sorry, I’m not much of an expert when it comes to Wi-Fi, considering I got it only a couple months ago, and I haven’t had to deal with it since the initial setup.
koakane: Count me in for Murphy’s, but not for the NMSU game. I will be at McKinley High School that day for a math meet, then I’ll probably run to some place nearby after I’m pau. Literally run, cause of the 11 AM kickoff. 😛
BG,
Tanks ah!
Pomai,

InLV — do you reside in Hawaii? If not, please tell us your city.
Also, where did you get the info on the $95 ticket-tailgate-transfer package?
Thanks.
Free play link time. Please ignore my next batch of posts if you do not want the off-topic stuff. Since I don’t know when I’ll get to post much more after this, I might post more than 5 free play links…
Has a 12-year-old come up with the key for widespread use of solar energy?
Looks like men should not use headsets with their cell phones in their pockets…not if they are planning to have kids anyway.
China is REALLY ramping up its space program! They are about to do a space walk in preparation for the building of their space station.
Thanks Jason I think it will work with my WIFI router.
Apple recalled the 3G iPhone charger.

UH 21-17
I reside in LV but Im in Honolulu. A relative is a so called “high roller” He passed along the info. Supposedly those “special” Boyd guests were given this information over the weekend. He was told that Boyd Gaming “would try” to secure sideline seats for their customers but UNLV’s visiting team allotment is traditionally in the endzone.
Aloha Kakou:
Small correction to Tom Mui’s post 190. The Motion to Dismiss hearing has already been held and the decision will be out Thursday morning. If found in favor of UH, then the contract to RMY/Sports Turf Hawaii starts right then. If found in favor of Ching’s Nursery, then the actual appeal hearing will be held on Friday at 9 am. UH’s arguments in the Motion Dismiss is very strong – based upon the failure to file the initial challenge in a timely fashion.
KOAKANE: In case you didn’t see it before, please count DrDoc and me at Murphy’s on October 4.
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.
I received the following e-mail from Coach Alan: Just wanted to say thank you again for all that you and your group have provided for us. Receiving the $25 check from the recyclables at the last U.H. game was a welcome surprise. Now hearing that you will be doing the same at all the home games is an even bigger surprise.
T-GATE STUFF: We’ll bring one pop-up tent, a 10 x 10 ft. tarp, two folding tables & a table-in-a-box, four chairs, a microwave w/power strip and extension cord, a recycling bin, and several exceedingly large garbage sacks. We plan to set up around 11 am and then will be leaving and coming back around 3:30 or so to socialize for a bit and then help with clean-up.
OFF-SPORTS-TOPIC: All Tsaikos are invited to celebrate the transfer of the ownership of the Falls of Clyde from the Bishop Museum to the Friends of Falls of Clyde at a signing ceremony/press conference on Monday, September 29, from 4 pm to 5:30 pm at Gordon Biersch’s Restaurant at the Aloha Tower Marketplace.
There’ll be plenty pupu plus a no-host bar and entertainment as well as an opportunity to help kick off the Million Quarter Drive celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the first fundraiser led by the late Bob Kraus to bring the Falls of Clyde back to Hawaii after being gone for over 35 years – it left here in 1921.
I am sure the Tsaikos who were in school here in Hawai`i between 1958 and 1963 will remember the Million Penny Drive which helped underwrite the ship’s return.
Alas, inflation has taken its toll so now we’re raising a Million Quarters this time around.
If you want to watch Monday football in the bar afterwards, please stay.
Jason and lab rat — your iTouch supports WPA and WPA2 as indicated in the following Apple doc:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
My base station at home is set for WPA now and my iTouch connected with the password. I had used WEP since 2001 but the latest recommendations is to migrate to WPA at minimum.
I’ll be sure to change my settings to WPA, then. Thanks for that tip, SteveM.
I happened upon a very interesting article in the SF Chronicle. I don’t know if anyone has posted information on this before but this is the kind of thing that could revolutionize training. Imagine Blaze with one of these things. The *lab assistant* went from a little over 100 pullups to more than 600 in six weeks.
On the other hand there certainly doesn’t seem to be any evidence that it has improved the Stanford football team…
InLV — welcome to the blog and I will add you to the Tsai-ko Mainland & International blogger listing posted at:
http://home.hawaii.rr.com/smurashi/tsai-kos/mainintpost.html
There are more than 175 names there and some of them will be showing up with friends and family again for the UNLV game next year. Note the others also residing in Las Vegas.
Okay, WPA is set up. Thanks again, SteveM.
Mr. Tsai –

stay tuned.
chawan if your going to be in the great pnw are you hooking up with wafan or djmicho?
Good chilly morning everyone!
It is the first full day of Fall and the temperature sure shows it — it is 36 right now. But it will warm up today to right around a nice 68. Still T-shirt and short weather this afternoon. Yeah.
Geez. What is going on with all the injuries at the UH? Looks like an out-patient clinic.
Actually, you did not have to look in the Yellow Section during UH games. Outside the stadium, by the North Tunnel, was also a hot spot as evidenced by the discarded products on the tunnel road.
I used to tell the bus drivers for the high school buses to close their windows or they would have to clean up before the teams came back.
C_C . . .
This weekend is supposed to be a nice one — summer-like weather! Yahoo!!!
Welcome to the Great Northwe(s)t!
Are you at PSNS (Bremerton) or Subase Bangor?
Good Morning Tsaiko Family!!!
Happy Tuesday!

Morning, Tsaiko-Nation and Tsai-Meister.
Just found out that ESPN has added UH-SanJose to their gameplan !!
Great news for us Mainlanders, wohoo !!!!

Good Morning Tsaikos!!
Looking forward to the game on Saturday. I have some friends coming in from Kauai for the game so can’t make the Tsaikogate, but you guys are welcome to stop by before going into the stadium.
wafan,
actually both, so i’m staying in between.
Was this the hippo mama that chased Checker’s and Pogo’s camera man? Wow, I still remember that video vividly.
You know why USC is so good? They follow this simple philosophy instilled by their coach and mentioned in a recent article.
“When you are consumed by the possibility of failing, you are not competing”.
Good morning Tsaikos everywhere!
BG
good job. i can’t speak for da rest but 4 of us from Hilo going to next years’s vegas game. we planning on staying with da odda Tsaikos at Boyd’s, sit in the same section that the other Tsaikos get. but we going make our own car cuz we going stay later than most cuz we got niece at NAU and like see da Grand Canyon, ride da train. but main ting is we going be yelling at da UNLV peepz all day dat day
Richfrom OC,
USC is so good because they have four star players as third and fouth stringers.
Aloha Kakahiaka!
Early HIHO today!
Tom Mui, WassupDoc,
Tom, you may be right about the motion being filed too late, but I not sure if your conclusion is right because – can’t the hearing officer decide for herself to dismiss the petition because it was filed too late, without getting to the merits. and to save all of us the further grief, in case Ching Nursery not thinking too well, can’t she also make a ruling that UH is correct on the merits anyway?
Does Vince have a lawyer? I called them yesterday at 5 pm but there was no answer, no message machine, nothing. will try again this morning, and if he get one lawyer, go explain to his lawyer what I’m thinking an wat going happen wit anymore delays in fixing da field.
I dunno wat to tink about dis kine slo student.

Thanks for the head’s up on ESPN GamePlan picking up the SJSU game.
Does anyone know what it costs ESPN to pick up a Hawaii game on GamePlan? Obviously there have to be some distribution costs, but does ESPN pay Hawaii, K5, or the WAC a fee? I have been meaning to write a letter to ESPN thanking them for picking up these games. The one good thing about the late start time is that there are no possible scheduling conflicts for GamePlan. If the fee is nominal I don’t see why ESPN couldn’t be enticed to pick up all home games.
ST, I would be curious to hear if the coaches or trainers knew about that core temperature glove I posted about. If the cost is really in the $2k range I don’t see why the warriors couldn’t get a few – maybe via a few private donations.
Coach Ken,
I hope you go talk face to face with the coaches. I respect your opinions.

Hello from the San Diego Airport! My plane boards in 13 minutes, so I’ll see if I can find any articles to post by then.
This NY Times article questions how so many others were mentioned during the Yankee celebration ceremony but Joe Torre and Roger Clemens were not.
RE: Boyd contact.
How about Riley Wallace?
USC’s Carroll’s pitch to recruits, “You will play and start for us now.”
He says he doesn’t recruit to build, he recruits players that can make an impact as soon as he gets on the field. The mentality isn’t red shirt here, grayshirt there, and then by junior and senior year they’ll be ready. The recruits have to be at their peak already.
expat,
I remember readying about RTX a few years ago in researching some stuff about MS. At that point it was still in prototype status. Good to know that the second generation model is in the works as someone I know who’s interested in it never buys the first model of anything…
BHF2 –
That is what the hearings officer should do when he/she decides on Thursday.
Of course the hearings officer could also say something about the merits of the case but it is safer just to rule on the procedural rather than the merits.
You might open yourself up if you comment on the merits.
Did you get my e-mail sent through Susan?
Tom Mui, Wassup Doc,
I got your emails, thanks. Tom, I see you soon.
We can get the hearings officer people all ruled up as we know in the next 3 years there could be big bucks coming down the road on refurbishing a number of high school fields. But first things first. fix the Ching Cooke field asap, get the good vibes rolling. thats why I’m really irritated with this particular nursery company. He going bring bachi to his name, for sure! I sure hoping he cut an run quik!
morning tsai-ko nation
got some morning blessing this morning. going be a good day so have a most excellent one and no forget play nice together now.

MANEO !!!
UGA busting da black jerseys for this week against bama. lucky they playing a nite game. better not sleep on saban. he’ll find a way to shut down knowshon and force stafford to beat em but maybe they found a WR stud in AJ green. gotta love college football when its in full swing, everyweek a great game awaits.
what’s gonna happen if ‘sc, oklahoma (or mizzou), and uga(or fla or bama or lsu) all go undefeated. nightmares for da bcs. also don’t wanna see if happen, but what happens if boise and utah/byu go undefeated and are both in the top 12?? kinda woulda wanted to see what would’ve happened if east carolina was in there too. would’ve been very interesting.
There are two scenarios here – if the Hearings Officer accepts UH’s argument about the lack of timeliness in the original appeal, then that’s the end of the challenges. The August decision to award RMY contract is valid. There is no appeal on procedural grounds.
If the Hearings Officer rejects UH’s argument regarding timeliness, then there will be am “issues” hearing on Friday, September 26, on the merits of Ching’s Nursery’s challenge. A ruling would be issued within two to four weeks. A further challenge is possible in Circuit Court by the loser.
That will delay the issuance of a contract to anyone for as long as two years.
Will check in with the Hearings Office by phone on Thursday morning about the decision and will then call Tom Mui and BHF2 as to the results.
In the meantime, there are significant policy issues which transcend this particular project which need to be addressed. There are millions of $$$ in both public and private artificial turf projects coming up over the next ten years. This will take several months to research and may require legislative action in 2009 or even 2010 if there are gaps in administrative policies. Stay tuned for more information.
Greetings and Blessings Warrior Nation! 🙂
Kind of off topic, but I’m reading the news about the state budget’s projected deficit of $900 million. I have to wonder, what is this going to do to repair and new construction plans not only at UH but in all state programs? It doesn’t seem to bode well for the UH athletic department’s plans to refurbish and upgrade some of it’s facilities.
What does everybody else think?
BTW Kudos to our in house legal counsels BHF2 and Tom Mui as well as Wassup Doc for their great work regarding the Ching/Cooke field repair snafu. Mahalo guys!
Very big game this week. This week’s game is just as big as last year’s Boise State game. San Jose State is a very talented group of guys who are still smarting from last year’s narrow loss at home. They thought that the game was their’s and it was taken away at the last second. Spartans are looking for payback.
Pride-
Not to mention that Tomey has yet to beat UH since he took over at SJSU. The Warriors need to have a complete game in every phase to keep that going. It’s like you said last week and the week before; 100% effort by 100% of the team. We haven’t seen that yet this season. If we do see that each week, I honestly think we could run the table from here on out.
Pride…I have to agree with you. SJSU is looking for payback and UH has got to get their game on. They need to be ready mentaly, as well as physically for this game. They need to take charge from the first snap and never take their foot off the pedal…for four quarters.
The crowd needs to step up to and support the team. Get over 30,000 in the stands for this game.
A wise coach once said something that I truly believe….
“Football is a game played with arms, legs and shoulders but is mostly played from the neck up.”
-Knute Rockne
GO WARRIORS!!!
SJSU don’t play well on da rock, kinda like la tech and nevada. we’ll see. still remember yonus davis coming w/ big pub in ’06 and getting absolutely shut down though that was w/ IAF and Mel Purcell. they had a tough rivalry game last week that was close throughout then have to travel 2500 miles across da water. we’ll see how fast they’ll be able to put stanford behind them and concentrate on da task at hand. didn’t know they had such a prolific and accurate qb so that’s kinda scary. da haole boy receiver that made a mockery of our secondary last year is not playing this week so we get a reprieve with that one. d needs to step up big time, let’s start having their produciton meet their preseason accolades. 🙂
howzit Tsai-kos
must be slow day plenty peeps busy
how come no excitement for sat game
what happened to the excitment from befoa
come now show some spirit and support
My only thoughts this week is to beat San Jose State. Nothing beyond that. Concentrate this week and this week only.
Do it right.
Do it 100%.
Oh yeah, Sorry….Good morning Tsaikos and Tsaikettes….!!!
DPK, you are right about the budget. UH, as well as all the departments throughout the state will have to do some belt tightening and look for other avenues to fund some of their programs. However, the money that has been appropriated so far should be okay for this year. The upcoming budget will be for the next fiscal cycle (2009 – 2011) and from the reports it appears it will be very lean. Many of the capital improvements at UH, as well as the rest of the state for that matter, are funded using general obligation bonds and not general revenues so a drop in general revenues does not necessarily mean loss of capital funding….it just means that getting the money for those improvements will take more work and creativity….JMHO.

Hehehe…made you look!
Good Morning Tsaikos!!
ST reports that Graunke was out there practicing and able to throw the ball. The hand is still bothering him as some of the passes were not that crisp.
The D will need to pick it up for the game, it seemed that the service team was completing a lot of passes. The SJSU QB might be able to pick us apart!!
Pride (.) played for Coach Tomey and knows he will bring it full on to the Warriors. After watching so many games with Tomey as UH’s head coach …and I know it’s just business as usual… (from the time he brought his Arizona Wildcats to Aloha Stadium with Duane Akina and Bob Wagner as his assitants) I still find it hard to see that guy on the opposite sideline…
Go Warriors!
