Good morning ST and gangees!

Homey, haf to do the system restores….back to Firefox 2…are there glitches with Firefox 3

Mornin’ ST! Mahalo for the great pics!

Good luck to all of the guys in making the team & success in taking care of business on the academic end.

Aloha Kakahiaka to the Tsaiko world! Have a great day in Hawai’i nei!

Going to services today for a sweet woman I used to work with who didn’t make it in her fight against cancer. Make memories! Make memories while you are here with your ‘ohana & Tsai-kotic friends.

Best wishes to Dylan Linkner…he’s working really hard to make it on his own. It is hard for walk ons to take care of school, athletics, AND work also. Scholarship athletes are loaded with work when they just have school and athletics, but many walk-ons have to try to earn a scholarship while working too!

The ATV accident cost that UCLA OL the season…and possibly his career. He really has hard luck with knee injuries.

UCLA announced offensive tackle Sean Sheller will miss the season after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament and the medial collateral ligament in his left knee. Sheller suffered the injury Friday while driving an ATV in Lake Havasu, Ariz.

The redshirt sophomore was the projected starter at right tackle.

Sheller (Walnut High) did not play in 2007. He suffered a tear of the medial collateral ligament in his right knee in fall training camp of 2006.

It is amazing how many players have left Louisville!

That’s 21 players, scholarship players only, and doesn’t count those that signed and never made it to campus. That’s an entire recruiting class.

If the Federal Government takes action on artificial turf, a lot of practice fields and stadiums could be in trouble. Replacing all of that turf would cost a ton of money…

A U.S. senator from New Jersey is urging the federal government to take action on artificial turf sports fields containing lead.

Sen. Bob Menendez sent a letter to the Consumer Product Safety Commission Thursday that urged the agency to expand its investigation into possibly hazardous lead levels in artificial turf.

Thursday’s call for action by Menendez comes a week after the federal Centers for Disease Control issued an advisory recommending that worn, frayed sports fields containing nylon fibers be tested for lead.

A California environmental watchdog group reported this week it had found excessive amounts of lead in several brands of artificial turf. It warned some of the biggest manufacturers and sellers that it would sue unless they recall or reformulate their products.

Note to Coach Bulla: Lisa Strand told me last night that she is anxiously awaiting to reunite with the “Menhune Matchmaker of Manoa.” She also wondered why she has been ‘ono’ for watrcress lately…Hmmm.

Pono busy with coaching 12 and under boys VB for tourney in America, while daughter left last night for Jr. Olympics VB. Da Mountain Apple has not fallen too far from their tree in Haiku Valley.

ST-thanks for the pictures! Keep working hard, boys! How long until the season starts? Why is summer so-o-o long?

Good morning Tsaikoville!!! I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend coming up.

Pauoa Boy,
It’s early for da guys in Hawaii, but for us mainland guys it’s not dat early

Good Morning Liz

Great Morning All.

Always inspirational to read about a walk-on like Dylan Linkner. Best wishes to him and all the walk-ons.

Hope all the OL are doing the necessary training to minimize those hammy issues.

All the pics are great however….

sure do miss the Princess and dem VIDEOS!!!

Aunty Liz – where you order your Kulolo from? I used to know how for make em but no more ingredaments over here in haole town. Only get L & L’s who sale bootleg haupia and even malasadas, make me laugh. I bet if I went ask for bag poi or kulolo, the workahs going look at me like hah?

d1shima – Princess Leila supposed to be at the Blog Bash right? I miss the videos to, but ST doing a great job with the pics. More stuffs for chit, chat about, plus good to see the boys preparing for the season.

PB,
Nah, da air is clean today. If there is a forest fire somewhere in the state, we usually see da effects, but nothing from dat far away. It looks like summer is finally here too.
Upper 80’s today, mid 90’s tomorrow, really high 90’s on sunday.

PB ~ Oline was minor concern during spring because it looked a little thin in spots. Now that da boyz are starting to focus on preparing their bodies for combat, da attitude adjustment has narrowed to lean & mean. Starting positions will mean open warfare soon.

Think back to wen you wuz battling for a spot. Rememba how you stahted to buss okole to not just win it…but to own it! Left no doubt. 👿

morning gang!

can you imagine how much more chit/chat we would get if we had the Princess videos in addition to ST’s pictas? holy unko!

bighilo – big mahalos on da jugs, was getting chicken skin reading last nights comments on all the support and aloha from the tsaikos

have a safe and happy aloha friday!

d1- that is Robert Preston and looks like written by Meredith Wilson – The Music Man team!
I can hear a girly version by Ethel Merman in that song!!!

Props to bhf2 for da JUGS-tacular mission.

Have a great day everyone, time for pogo jump outta here! 😀

d1 – mahalo for the vids but no can catch’em, grrrr 😡 think i gotta get tilted

Kekoa, nah I still get the eye of the Tiger as I play sports year round. In fact couple years ago when I was back home at K-Bay playing football on the base team, my friend and I sent in one highlight video to JJ. Was trying to see if my friend could get looked at as a Kicker. This was during Ayat years. Anyway, my buddy was nicknamed “The Leg” cause he could boom consistent 40-50 yard field goals with accuracy. Plus his name is Tim Legros, big kid 6-3 245lbs. and can blast the ball. We actually won the military challenge contest they have down there during the Pro-Bowl back in 2004. Not sure where he is now as couple scouts actually was looking to recruit him.

It looks like we will be having a good representation from the Advertiser Staff. I wonder if someone there can convince Juju to get her “lazy arse” (jojo’s words) to drive to town and join us??

d1shima,
dat wuz too funny. mcKlinley? 1961? I watched da hole ting. neva look like mcKinley. Go chicken chit, go! heh heh

LikzK,
wen I show up wit a cape, I gonna expose yu to ‘art!’ 😀

I hope Linkner gets a scollie. He needs to get some SLEEP as that is when the boys GROW.
Congrats to his DAD for da Hoku
HIHO

Liz,
Kulolo sounds good right now. After da concert last nite, we had a potluck with da Pacific Islanders Association and da Makaha Sons and someone made some mean haupia pie and a lilikoi dessert and it broke da mouth.

After reading about the recently completed draft, I’ve come to the conclusion that the NCAA or NBA rule to have to go to college for a minimum of a year makes no sense. It doesn’t do anything for the college game and makes a mockery of that rule.

If the NBA wants to draft a HS freshman (and they can get a labor waiver) they should do it. Heck, colleges are making offers to 8th graders!

If the system is going to be driven by a market system (TV packages, merchandising, etc..) and not necessarily education (college) or old school loyality to teams or cities, we should step aside and let the market dictate the outcome.

If it comes a day where the NBA is populated by sometime ill educated young people (notice the skyrocketing drop out and non-graduating rates of our cities) as young as 16 or 17 because the team feels that that is what they want and the public will pay to see, let it happen. The game is so overpriced as it is, it’d be interesting to see if the general public would be able to afford a ticket to see this post high school teenagers play ball.

The landscape for the college game would also change as all of the basketball talent would go directly to that NBA pool unencumbered and maybe, just maybe those young people going to a college or university would actually go to get an education, thus not adversely affecting a college’s ability to allow these young people to transfer without hurting the ARP (or whatever that thing is that affects scholarships).

Sounds simple, but with the top picks all being the “one and out” young people, why prolong the charade?

808chef – tsaikoparty at yahoo

BHF2 ~ Nope, actually we’re cousins, but for some strange reason he always called me ‘Unko’ and now I know why!…Bwahahaha. His sisters are Bulla’s age, and I got a few more years on them. In fact, by the time Pono grad from UH, I had already *grad* and retired from the Army!

One of my grandgirls is a 17 year old Jr. playing HS VB in Cal. She’s 6′ 2″ 225 MB/OH that hits harder than most of the LB’s on the Football team!

d1,

the winds of change blew very very hard yesterday at kalaepohaku! call me

have a nice day everybody.

you watchin da oil prices? 139/bbl? going bust out my bike!

Buffo: I see your point. I don’t know much about the rule and impetus for it, but if the NBA requires one year of college would that help teams gauge the ability of the kid to move up within that one year, and if they feel he’s a longshot, “counsel” him to continue in school and receive an education? On the other hand, if high schoolers flood the NBA, would they then be at a “point of no return” and ineligible for a schollie?

ST:

What other games do you have on VHS???

Do you have the Miami of Ohio game?

ST – I realize why forearms are important to midori. They need to be nice looking so when pictures are taken with the arm behind her, it compliments the back of her head.

ST,
I loved Batman when I was growing up. I still try to find reruns of that show on tv

ST…I think Ma Kent used a needle that Pa Kent made from the remains of Superman’s ship when it landed in that field…

Actually, I thought that only his cape was super resistant to stuff…..

James (Jessie type) ~ No make fun of A-Joe’s feet. Rememba dat comic wit da stage name of “Luau Feet?” He here anybody talkin’ stink lil’dat about feet, you goin’ die!

Good morning all ‘yall! 🙂

I had the chance to meet Dylan’s dad at a practice last year and he was the nicest guy. He must be very proud of Dylan, good and industrious young man that he is. The hard work and sacrifices of so many Warriors are the reason we have such a strong program. I hope Dylan sees a lot more playing time this year, he’s worked hard for everything he’s gotten.

al,

i heard that batman was gay.

BrokeBat Cave?

dpk,

haha
Eh, wait. Da ting said that JFK distributed those records to schools across the nation; how you guys got ’em?

Since Stephen started True Confessions.
I was one of the keeds who nevah touch my toes all the time; and ten sit-ups? Fo’get it!

d1,
We wen boost ’em from my first grade teacher! 😆 Actually, the school gave us a copy because we were all in judo, and they wanted to help us keep fit. 😉

is it my eyes?
or is coach jones carrying a few more pounds around the opu?
always knew he could have been a real good tsaiko.

haha anybody gravitate toward the LOVE comics as a kid? I preferred those to the superman comics. Yeah, I guess I became a Superman fan late in life — all because of Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder.

he made those glasses from materials that came from krypton.

superman had lana lang, lois lane, et al always trying to hang on to him and the like.

batman, on the other hand never had a female fling. however, robin, a minor boy was his “sidekick”. he was also raised by the butler, Alfred Pennyworth, who never married nor had a fling either.

hmmmmmmm.

dpk…..quit trying to flatter yourself. we don’t have a bump, bumps are for girls.
we are fat, let’s just face the facts we’re just fat.

btw, how’s the diet contest going????

I noticed June Jones’ belly last season. He tried to accommodate it by wearing his aloha shirt outside his pants, not tucked in.

Hmmm. He’s still handsome though, don’t you think? What a face!

Midori7:
I’m not sure if I have the Miami game. I think I have most of the 2005 and 2006 seasons on VHS. Then I have the coaches’ DVDs — sideline, end zone — of the past few seasons. Those DVDs are at the office, although I’d better move them home, if we were to ever go on strike. If I find some LaBoy games, I’ll give them to you, Midori

Me too please!!!! Travis LaBoy and Chad Owens… Oh my!

Ok, back to catching up with the blog.

stretch

some stuff has been edited. hahaha.
oh well , better than being smu’d.

duffer……she should apply for “work study” program. have them call the financial aid office at sdsu and ask. they would have to do the fafsa forms and stuff.

if she qualifies, most out of state students will, unless they are really well to do in which case no need job, they will get her an on campus job making about ten bucks an hour.

wow $10/hr??? I was paid $1.45/hr when I worked/studied at UHM.

back when the earth’s crust was cooling…

gigi,

yeh, but tuition for a semester was less than what you and hubby got for your dinner in Japan

al,

Can still try for work study but most schools include that in their fin aid packages that already went out.

James, this was PRE- dinosaurs.

D1, I had a 4 yr state schollie. Tuition was just $110 a semester back then.

what would be the cost to build a new stadium?

Al,

Very good questions, especially since the state is putting off the big revenue generating additions (which will add high-priced seats) until some undetermined time in the future. We all know that the cost of those additions will be higher than what is being estimated now, so that $185 mil will probably end up being well past $200 mil before they are done.

I’m an alum of Stanford and went to a number of games (plus had my graduation there) at their old stadium. They recently built a 50,000 seat stadium for between $90 and $95 mil!

The Southern Bleacher Company, based in Graham, TX, has constructed, in part, a brand new football stadium for the University of Stanford in California that is scheduled to open in September of 2006. In June of 2005, Stanford University’s Board of Trustees gave preliminary approval for a major re-building of Stanford Stadium; the 85,500-seat facility has been the home of Stanford Football since 1921.

The trustees approved a concept plan presented by the Department of Athletics that will modernize almost all facilities within the stadium, and reduce the stadium’s capacity to 50,000 seats for the purpose of bringing spectators closer to the field.

The re-building of Stanford Stadium cost approximately $90 million.

By the way, the stadium is right on campus and is used for many things such as graduation. They built it right where the old stadium was, and they worked 16 hours per day to get it built between football seasons. They were actually to build a brand new 50,000 seat stadium where the old stadium was for between $90 and $95 mil without missing a football game!

A rough winter actually caused the stadium to not be ready for the SJSU game, but that was the only game that had to be relocated.

The capacity of the renovated stadium was set to be approximately 50,000 seats made by Ducharme Seating. Work began literally minutes after the Cardinal’s last home game of the 2005 football season, a close loss to Notre Dame on November 26. Bulldozers began tearing out the natural field turf in a ceremony held while attendees were still in the stadium for the game.

Back to work…I happened to check in and saw what Al wrote and figured I should point out what happened at a school that I know something about.

al,
I’m secure enough in my masculinity to use the term “Tsaiko-Bumps”. I unnerstand if it make YOU uncomfortable. Besides, I’m beyond fat. I’m “Uber-Flabben”. Don’t ask about the diet…

Does anyone have an extra ticket for Oregon State? UKU needs a ticket, and I unfortunately cannot get one for him.

GFL?

What kind of salaries are involved?
Would they be just disappearing into obscurity?

Does every team have an Oompah band?

All I can say is tell her to stay away from the dorms who have jobs posted for “distributors”

d1shima,

Yeah, they probably made more money that I am. Yes, her mom knows all about that.

Thanks Al!

OK if we are making requests for DVD’s then I want the set that oldie donated. Who do I have to make nice to for those?

Ronnie – You gotta give me whatever you get!

Hi Rob!

I’ll share with you! and I’ll give you 14 blank DVDs to copy your set, if you figure out what we have to do to get one 😉

By the way, thanks for mentioning my request for the Boise game. I now know that d1shima may go and d1shima is planning to go. I won’t have to scream, I mean cheer, alone!

Good luck Gerad and Myron!

Ah, Laupepa Letuli. I’m with WarriorMojo, I think he’s going to be a very, very good one. All he needs to do is keep healthy and get on that field.

I might have mentioned this before, but I won a whole bunch of comics once as a door prize at a party for my Dad’s work when I was young. I went looking for them one day; Dad had thrown them all away. I never even got to look at them. Ah, and I had hoped that there were some rare ones accidentally left in there. 😉

calling CALVIN FROM KONA- WE NEED ANNODDAH TICKET!

Uku- Garret – Calvin said he would try to get a block so Tsai-kos can sit togeddah.
I was short one ticket at the time.

Let’s everybody let SeveM put our names on his travel list to see how big the party will be and then work with Calvin to juggle tickets.

hokay?

HIHO!

Hello everyone. Lunch time for me. The “travel list” Liz is referring to is at:

http://home.hawaii.rr.com/smurashi/tsai-kos/away08.html

So UKU@la and Calvin from Kona is attending? Please cc me on your Oregon game travel plans so I can update the page. The logistics on this one is almost as diverse as Florida, but I see a pattern of possible carpools and tailgate/cattle calls.

BTW, speaking of Calvin, I have added our karaoke video star to the Genji dinner/karaoke call page along with a few more photos at…

http://homepage.mac.com/smurashi/photos/cattlecall.html

back to work now….

thanks garret on the stanford stadium. i didn’t go in but did see it from the outside but it is quite a gem that stanford arena. my son got to work several games as an usher for an fundraising project there. he said it is quite awesome.

so, my next question is…..did the powers to be do any kind of research at all? wouldn’t the stanford project be one to look at?
wouldn’t the inclusion of box seats, strategically located by a top priority?
why would we want to build something that won’t take us into the next decade at least?

you want to be bigtime, then you gotta do bigtime stuff.

the problem is really because the university of hawaii does not own the stadium or control it. that is why we have archaic thinking in times where we need greater vision.

john a. burns….where are you?

I read Superman and Batman a lot too. But my favorite comic was Stan Lee’s “Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos” (later Nick Fury became the head of SHIELD). Sgt. Fury got me reading other Marvel titles like Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Hulk, Dr. Strange, Captain America, Thor, Ant Man…

My comic book piles got thrown out by my parents too… 🙁

Calvin, LizK,

Are you getting tickets thru UH? Any idea what section & rows you have tickets for right now? $46 for a ticket thru UH? I’m gonna check with one of our former students who’s at OSU to see if he can get me a ticket.

I’m trying to firm up plans for September & it looks like I’m gonna ship my car out of Fremont, CA. I need to be in the Bay Area the week following the OSU game. Sooo, I might drive up to Corvalis for the game & then go back down to Oakland. Just don’t know if I’ll have my house wrapped up by the week before the game. If I go, I’ll be staying at a friend’s house.

dunna dunna dunna – dunna dunna dunna dunna DUNNAAAAHHHH Batman!!!

al:

Russ Saito, I think that’s his name of DAGS, previously mentioned that it would cost the State about $300,000 to build a new stadium – believe this includes land acquisition cost.

I believe, with good engineering, a new stadium can be built in the “lower parking lot” at the existing stadium site.

Stadium level should be raised so the lower level can be used to park all the buses, police vehicles, staff and emergency vehicles, create loading zones for food, etc. and eliminate the “flood” hazard.

It should also include “over head” walk ways to eliminate pedistrain traffic on Salt Lake Blvd and Kahuapani. This allows direct access/exit to the stadium.

Old stadium can be razed and turned into a parking lot or park if a “multi-level” parking lot is built at the old 50th State carnival site. Lot would have multiple vehicle and pedistrian entrance/exist to eliminate crossing traffic on Kam Hwy. Again, build overhead bridges to cross Salt Lake blvd. Hopefully, this structure will help to eliminate all the “neighborhood parking”.

Ronnie:

djmitcho posted earlier today that he may attend the Boise State game

Uncle BG – It’s done, I will be at the Blog Bash on July 10th. Went to see a buddy of mine at Travis and he did a little back door action for me. Thank you for the help but as a Marine I get er’ done! Anyway, I talked to the guys at Hickam too, so I should be good to go. I not coming down until after 4th of July since my house pack up is on the 2nd-3rd. But it’s official I will be there! Anyway, sorry I will send you my contact info for future purposes, been running errands all day.

PB – Great News!! Looking forward to seeing you again. I will give g-nalo the good news…..that he has to pay for you.

If is wasn’t for Superman, Batman, et al, there would be no Under Armour.

homey – don’t forget Mr Incredible

Stretch – Nah I can send you the money since I bringing my bro too. No like him have to pay for us.

Stretch – you mean Mr. Tsaiko-bump himself!

PB – Okay, I no tell.

eh I not involve with that kine stuffs I straight as one arrow

BG – email sent

Mojo,

The post on the oddah side says, “has left” which, from what I understand, is more accurate than “stepped down”

’nuff said.

Ralph – No major problems with Firefox 3

As mentioned by others, it is safer to keep at least 2 browsers on your system. Download Opera as another backup browser so at least you can download applications if your main browser is having problems. Give Firefox 3 another try. I’m almost certain that the problems you had were coincidental. If you feel comfortable you should also get a registry cleaner to get rid of orphan registry keys. There are free cleaners out there.

Does the former coach leaving mean that for UH?

Coordinatahs of dah Blog BashAu’ryte so what do I need to bring to this Blog Bash besides myself. I’m hearing dat gotta bring memoribilia or sumtin, maybe couple bottles of “DA JUICE”, some beer for inu pia or sumtin, what’s the 411 scoops…

Stretch – Nah I can send you the money since I bringing my bro too. No like him have to pay for us.

PB – all your efforts getting here…….impressive. good thing i’m already in cause if San Diego can, Oahu should. haaaa

send in for your brother only and that should make it a good compromise.

ST:

Does this mean that UH may not benefit from getting St Louis players in the future?

Hope the next coach will also be a strong supporter of the Warriors!

We’re all excited for your supa good news!!! We all know RHIP…but, sometimes, the underground, back alley, “supply sgt” route is way more effective! lol

Still get a couple more tidbits to smooth the way over and back. I’ll be in touch.

Guarans you win the award for longest distance traveled to make the pah-tay! Unless some Tsaiko from east coast or Korea (TChahng) or China (G) shows up. Wow! How cool would that be?!! 😀

Sad, really sad for the Crusaders. The current administration needs to get a grip on the operation of the ENTIRE school.

Sorry Bulla, d1shima, that’s the way I see it. Delbert Tengan is not Cal Lee nor Cal Lee is Delbert Tengan.

Pauoa Boy,

Great news. Look forward to seeing you again.

“I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.” – Mia Hamm

The only thing hubby is worried about is the ravine. Worried his ball won’t fly over it to the other side. LOL. Per Liz, we women will be on the other side when we hit our ball.

Judging from practice, my ball might go sideways into the forest, so sure, I’ll lose some balls.

QUESTION RE DRINKS — Are we supposed to bring our own? Or will they be provided with the food?

duffer – Why? You vegan?

SteveM,

Yes, I did receive it – thank you. I keep forgetting to e-mail Stretch and when I do remember, I’m at work where I don’t have access to my personal e-mail account. I gotta tie a string on my finger or something so I remember………2nd thought, maybe a post-it with a note. Knowing me, I’d go home and look at the string on my fingah’ and ask myself, “Now why did I do that?!?”.

PB – no need sauce. I think al might want Fried Pata.

Homey,

No, but with all the talk about portion controll, I figured maybe I could sneak some other stuff in. Like Komoda Pastery, Krsipy Kreme, Guri Guri, Maui Chips. Stuff like that.

I take couple orders Guri Guri Ice Cream.

K nuff my keeds getting nawts they hungry

homey, I was in Japan and also at PCC when drinks were discussed. Anyway, this is something everyone should know.

Fruit bowls are fine.

Tengan — cut in salary too?

Dancing is allowed! I plan to dance.

Blog Bash Committee:

Did I miss it or did you not yet establish a “dress code” for 7/10/08?

For the 7/12 function, it was casual including bermuda shorts and slippahs.

Don’t want to go over dressed!

A House, it’s not your computer, it’s Herman haunting you

I don’t know if anyone is around, but I *highly* recommend this site for anyone who has a few minutes of free time. This site has photos of all of the helmets of football teams–NFL, D-1A, D-1AA, D-II, JC, etc.

This page I’ve linked to above shows all of the WAC teams. If you scroll down you’ll see a collection of UH helmets through its history.

Rich,

I’m glad that you had such an amazing trip! I’m not surprised that Margo arranged the cake for you–she is a special lady. Hopefully we’ll have a Calf Call soon and you and Ronnie can share some things from your trip. I also have some interesting news…

Al

Bruddah, you make me proud to be a Tsaiko [High 5!] Hmmmm, wonder if they need one more JUGS (w/ a Tsaiko logo on it)???

Lead, follow, or get out of the way! Tsaikos on the move!

Good evening BG! Say Hi to Betty!

A- House,

Are you related to Todd?

I cannot believe that the blue turf might have actually been a big factor in BSU getting a good WR recruit out of Texas.

Mansfield Timberview wide receiver Aaron Burks (6-3, 180) said he has orally committed to Boise State after taking an unofficial visit there last week.

“Boise State has always been one of my favorite teams to watch,” Burks said. “Playing video games as a kid, I was always liked their blue field. The way they’ve played the last couple of years also attracted me.”

This Houston Chronicle blogger did a great job in analyzing Nevada (since Texas Tech plays Nevada this season). Since we’ve discussed the Pistol offense so much already, I thought I’d post this part about Nevada’s defense.

The 40 Front is a variant of the 4-4 defense. It appears to be basically a 4-3 alignment, with the strong safety playing further up with the linebackers. Here is the best explanation of the defense I found. It’s zone-based, not blitz-heavy, but the defensive line is supposed to be big enough to put pressure on the quarterback by itself. With all the stunts involved, it seems like if run correctly, it would be a tricky defense to face. As last season’s results show, though, either the scheme is bad or the execution was.

They gave up an average of 35 points per game in the WAC, so rest assured that the Red Raiders will put up points in this game.

Five starters return on defense. On the defensive line, only senior Mundrae Clifton returns. An inexperienced WAC defensive line shouldn’t lay a finger on Graham Harrell, and that’s pretty much that.

In the middle, three starting linebackers return. Jerome Johnson, Joshua Mauga and Kevin Porter are all seniors, and should prove to be the strength of the defense. With the quick slants and screens, they’re going to be tested severely against Tech’s athletic receivers.

In the secondary, only senior strong safety Uche Anyanwu returns. That appears bad for Nevada at a glance, but even worse when you take into account the way the 40 Front works. If the strong safety tends to play up, that could help protect against the short passes, but it will leave a thin, inexperienced secondary to protect against long- and medium-range passes.

re-winning the opening game coin toss at Florida

If your coach Mack and you win the opening coin toss what do you do? The options are simple. But are they? He has the choice of playing offense or defense first starting the game. Conventionally most coaches elect to kick off starting the game. And they would rather get the ball first starting the second half which allows them an extra thirty minutes at half time to study the opposing teams defense. And to prepare and make adjustments against the other team. Strategy wise it makes sense to defer until the second half. Others, like Coach Jones notoriously would want to set the tempo and be on offense first… reasoning that a opening momentum is a boost for the team. So what approach should Coach Mack take? Win the opening coin toss, play offense first or play defense first?

Giving your team the best chance to win Coach Mack has to defer. And play defense first. He has to tell his players well in advance of game time of what his plans are going to be. And this is the key. He has sit down with his players in the month of June and sell the idea that his team’s defense is the backbone of the team. And win the coin toss in Florida and they’ll be on the field first in setting the tone for the rest of the team to follow. The reverberations of his team’s defense doing well initially sets up the offense and special teams feeding off the play of the defense.

From the psychological standpoint Coach Mack confiding in his defensive players that unlike how in years past, customarily, it was a for gone concussion that win the coin flip and the offense drew first blood by electing to receive the opening kickoff. Yet hopefully we’ll see a different approach where the defense gets their licks in first is better for the development of the whole team (at least morale wise)…Under Coach Jones’ philosophy he wanted the ball in his hand. And he wanted to be the first on the board. And the message he was sending to his defense team was that everything was always predicated on the offense. And the defense never did gain the celebratory status compared to that of the offense. Although, the defense was a pivotal reason for the great turn around from last year. But on a Coach Mack team expect a more balanced approach to everything, namely offense, defense, and special teams…and knowing the best strategy to start the game(?). A greater harmony on a team is achieved when the head coach says to his units we approach every situation with an open mind.

Now if he tells his defensive team no sooner than the beginning of camp and two a days that his defensive players will be put to test first if they win the coin toss. This deliverance of telling his defense that we want you to set the pace. And tempo for the Florida game would bold so well for the team. Getting the juices flowing, heart pumping and excitement started in the players is easily accomplished by saying we want our defense to start off the game.

The theme for the upcoming season. And camp, I hope, see the players in a frenzy and killer type mania where they smell blood and the have this hunger deep seeded in them. Florida and the upcoming season is fast approaching. From my prospective, I think if Coach Mack announcing to the team that his defensive unit (should Hawaii win the coin toss) will have the honors of drawing first blood on the Florida field will evoke the spark in the team knowing that this is a different approach than from the past.

Who pho kingmessed up the code?

can = can’t

hello? restore the code to the version that worked and then set up a test environment so you guys can test changes before deciding to move it to the real environment.

Take 1 step forward 2 steps back…

Blue background is not the right color. Too much strain on the eyes.

yo bighilo

yah, batman was a cult hero for the “boys” of the san francisco streets.

Oh unko! Stop it already! work on a test system! OMG you guys are so irritating!

Whoa — what happened? I go away to do some email and the blogware has “fell to unko” suddenly.

But so has the main HA site. We lost the cheap blue gradient background and the text has turned small. In Safari doing the View –> Make text bigger a couple times brought the size back to before.

But gee whiz — homey’s right — do the beta-testing elsewhere… 👿

Loose money…
