Happy New Year!
Let’s make it a great year.

Earning invitations to the NFL Scouting Combine is a big deal for Greg Salas, Alex Green and Kealoha Pilares. The NFL is about “measurables” — speed and strength numbers; Wonderlic scores — and Indianapolis is where those are gathered on a so-called even playing field. John Estes, who was not invited to the combine, probably was hindered last year because some draft analysts had circulated an inaccurate arm-reach figure — key for an offensive lineman — despite his NFL-prototype measurements taken at the East-West Shrine Game and UH Pro Day. Estes, who should have been drafted, is now with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
While UH’s Pro Day can boost a prospect’s stock, a drawback is that it is usually is held in early April, only a few weeks before the NFL draft. Many of the “measurables” already are in the books, and it takes knockout numbers to move the needle. Also, a pro day usually draws about 50 evaluators (or at least one from every NFL team), the combine draws 50 people from every NFL team.
Still, many NFL teams — most notably the Oakland Raiders — look to pro-day workouts for under-the-radar players to fill out mini-camp rosters. Last year, Aaron Kia and Ray Hisatake parlayed pro-day workouts into free-agent offers. Former UH running back James Fenderson, who was once a walk-on living in his car, ended up making the New Orleans Saints’ roster. Those stories should provide motivation to players who are deserving of next-level opportunities, such as Rodney Bradley, Adrian Thomas, Lametrius Davis, Mana Silva and Jeramy Bryant.

happy new year, first
Happy New Year!
James Fenderson, UH’s version of the “Blindside” story of an athlete’s hardship, perseverance and ultimate success in the NFL.
Fort! Happy New Year!!!
Happy New Year!
Best of luck to all of UH’s pro prospects!
Hauoli Lahanau!
Today is an anniversary date for me — the fourth anniversary of my first comment on The Warrior Beat. I had been lurking from day 1, but when ST said that the blog might shut down till next season…
five Big Ten teams are playing today, Northwestern defeated by Texas Tech, Alabama 49-7 over Michigan State, Michigan getting their butts kicked by Mississippi State 52-14 in the 4th with 10 minutes left, and Florida pushed ahead of Penn State 30-24. TCU will take on Wisconsin later.
Seems like a yearly occurrence where the Big Ten take a “lickens” in the Bowl games.
To Tsaikos everywhere —
HAVE A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS 2011 !
Good luck to all Warriors on every level…may your dreams be fulfilled!
And let 2011 be the year of the Colt…

Thank you Stephen for the blog and Happy New Year!
Time for a spam filter!
Ralph,
But the Big 10 is looking at getting around $400 million per year in TV money for their regular season games (twice the SEC’s TV money) while the MWC is looking at $12 million or less and the WAC is going to be cut to around $1 million per year…eventually, that will show up on the field since they will buy the best facilities and coaches around.
This year the SEC and the Big 10 are getting around the same amount of TV money…but the Big 10 will get a lot more as their TV network spreads and they cash in on their championship game TV rights.
Typed too fast! Spelled name wrong!
Happy New Year βρεω808.
haha, very funny.
Garret the Big 10 and the other BCS conferences have been getting the lions share of the tv money and they should be competitive with each other with all the monies they receive, but the Big Ten have been cannon fodder more often than not in the Rose Bowl when playing the Pac 10 and they haven’t been that successful in BCS match ups with the SEC.
The Big 10 makes a lot of money but its not based on their success in bowl games, its their market share that puts them in the chips. The bowls want the Big 10 match ups because of their fans following them where ever they play and the tv market they reach.
Go TCU! In four BCS bowls games the non AQ have won 4, UH being the only loser to date. I hope TCU can pull this game out and beat a very big Wisconsin team.
we are not getting spammed right now because it is 1 a.m. in Moscow and midnight in Kiev, Ukraine.
Connecticut of the Big East comes into today’s game with Oklahoma at 8-4. I think Boise State can beat Connecticut.
Boise State already beat the best of the ACC in Virginia Tech.
#26 non AQ won 3 of 4 (correction)
Ralph: Hawaii was not a BCS game.
Happy New Year everyone!
Happy New Year Tsaikos everywhere.

okay, I’m sorry…. NOT… 😀
no need get offensive juss because i wen false krak … UHH…. Kaimuki. 😆
wuz juss jokin. 😆
akchally, I saw dat Florida db jump da receiver and steal da ball at da end. his angle was too good. Coach Miano always talking about gettin da angle right fo catch da odda cat. da Brudda Warriors gots to play a little smarter, is all… an plan on interceptin, not jus katchin..
yup, dunno wat da haps wit Earvin, da McKinley monstah! hope he neva get caught in da chow fun line. 😀
yup, you know my New Year’s Reso neva had anytin to do with Grace or Excuse Me.
Wisconsin looks like day came to play. Hoping TCU plays like….
😀
Do you remember what Wisconsin did to Hawaii in ’09? Same players with better RBs.
Good 1/1/11 afternoon!
i remembah!
Lametrius Davis: huh?
TCU responds, TD!
Buuutttt! Speed can kill!
4 Big Ten teams got “lickens” today, come on TCU, let’s see 5 go down in defeat.
Wisconsin averages 6’5 321 on the OL. Smash mouth football.
Best game of the bunch, so far. Great film for UH to watch. TCU 4-2-5 Base D. R&S Offense.
WU – How to beat a blitz…Straight down the middle to one-on one coverage.
that’s what we really need, SPEED, on the offense and defense. We always hype we got speed, then come game time the other team is faster at the skill positions. Tulsa scored 3 TDs in the 3rd quarter on 3 two play drives, speed kills, and we got killed.
surprising how TCU 4-2 base can stop a smash mouth rushing game. Play option helped Badgers score their TD.
btw
Earvin Sione is tryin fo put on good weight, UH/Aranda/Mac trying to convert him from WR to DE. good luck to McKinley.
Dalton can deliver the rock!
Happy New Year Tsaikos!!!
and Dalton can carry it too!
alright, TCU answers!
Wow! Can’t even go to the lua…
just wait, 7 secs to lua time as the quarter ends
oops 36 secs to LUA
OK, new Warrior goal. Get to the Rose Bowl. Go Disneyland. Get to go in front of everyline.
Motivation!
Tom Mui
day going make small sumtin in Judge Mollway’s courtroom Monday 1/3 fo rememba friend Sam King. you going?
lua time.
lots of TCU and Wisconsin fans traveled to California, Gov Arnold must be plotting how he will spend the money generated by the Rose Bowl.
Happy New Year!!!!
What would the Rose Bowl look like
if was Hawaii and Wisconsin??
lots of Hawaii fans would be there, we can match TCU fan base.
Ralph, you mean Gov. Jerry Brown? Hasta la vista, Ahhhnold!
No shame in losing to the Badgers…
DaMenehune… I would go to cheer for the Warriors in the Rose Bowl…
Red and GREEN for the season!
😎
Mahalo, Ke Akua for a lovely New Years Eve and morning. Here come da Kona effect… showers on the way.
TCU held twice in the red zone, giving up a FG and now a missed FG
they already elected a new governor? oops, better pay more attention to CNN!
nope, Arnold is still governor until Monday, but then again, the Rose Bowl money won’t be his to budget.
Interesting comments about the custom Nike cleats and TCU slipping all over the Rose Bowl… and no spare cleats to change into.
UA- PROTECT THIS HOUSE!!!
i wonda if next year we going change da turf at Aloha Stadium and give da Warriors enough time for figa out which cleats is da bestest, and get enuf reps so da timing get spiffy, o we going wit da mental reps o wat? knowing da State, gonna plan fo changin da turf in 2013…
😀
Love seeing the BANDS at halftime!!!
Aloha Liz, in this day of Nano-technology, every minute detail counts. Some teams do a better job than others in paying attention to littlest of details. Maybe that’s what it takes to move up to a higher level. Maybe Hawaii needs a Manini Coach, are you up to the task?
Sea of Red on one half and an amalgam of every color “Ainokea: I do wat I like” in the other. 👿
Good half.
Manini detail: Cool helmet emblem for TCU. Horned Frog holding a rose in its mouth. Musta busted it out special on Game Day…no mo’ on their souvenir site.
Mahalo to all of you for creating this fan-tastic Univ of Hawaii Sports blog!
May your 2011 be better than last year. ALOHA!
noticing that all the coaches on New Years’ Day games when caught for the quickie interviews at halftime give concise, lucid responses.
Just saying.
anyone eaten horned frog legs?
Some Badger O-lineman have been! 😈
Speaking of minute details-
I gotta say- football aside, there is nothing like the Tournament of Roses experience. These folks work all year long to make it a perfect and wonderful event for everyone.
The selection process for parade participants is excruciating… and the President physically VISITS every band to inspect and encourage the highest level of performance at the Band Fest and the Parade (and it is a 5.5 mile marching performance, not a stroll to a performance like Macy’s).
Today’s economy must be having an effect on the traditional way of doing things… but they still hit a high mark.
Sorry to see no Hawaii band in the parade this year.
BHF2: re:53
Yep — was told by Doug at the burial.
(Doug is a lurker, so I discovered!)
Hi Doug – Happy New Year!
Efficient
small steps, UH has to follow the Boise State and TCU model of success. Take the punch from Wisconsin and counter punch and score.
There is nothing like grass stained uniforms and turf in the facemask to tell you this is football!
TCU has made a few halftime adjustments, I’d say…
Well said, Ralph. Take the punches and then attack.
Roses for TCU
Andy Dalton is a class act. Deflects praise to God and his team. A well earned victory and something for the ages for non AQ teams.
Awesome- Congrats to TCU!!!
AlaWai- very nice. And Coach acknowledges the fans right away!
Well said Ala Wai. well said.
Congrats TCU. you neva tink dat you might lose. you banged all day way. good for you. good for da little guys. Congrats small kine student body.
I’m still tinkin to myself. wow o wow o wow.
Thanks TCU!
Big Ten 5 for 5, all losses today. President Gee, you suck, you talked the talk but your Big Ten Brethrenz couldn’t do the walk much less run the football.
LizK.
ya. da TCU coach wen acknowledge da fan base coming all day way to da game.
very classy. when we show up UNLV next season, hoping da coaches acknowledge we coming a long way. heck, i might even go Washington if i wuz invited. would be hard, but i would make da trip ifn i knew we’d be appreciated.
Ralph Ralph Ralph
now now now. 😀
I’m puttin you up fo class speakah!
how come TCU played like day wasn’t gonna lose today?
please grasshoppa, tell mezz da secrets….
Have to admit after watching Wisconsin here in ’09, I didn’t think TCU could win this game.
TCU adjusted to not being able to run and used speed and discipline to prevail. Now pulling for UCON to beat OU. Snacking on Goteborg musubi, Liz. Hope this game is as good as the Rose.
now I hope Oklahoma demolishes Connecticut, 8-4, who are in a BCS game because they are the best in the Big East.
OK Ralph, I switch. Want to see OU destroy UCON to make a point. MWC is better than the BE.
Nice win by TCU.
Just worth noting for any recruit who’s making up his mind about which school gets his commitment, five years ago some of the guys who committed to TCU were probably told that they were crazy for passing up an opportunity to play for a “BCS school”.
Many of those teams were at home today watching TCU win the Rose Bowl.
A lot can happen in five years. If 2016 seems like a long time from now, think about how recent 2006 seems.
A quick reminder: the turf at Aloha Stadium will be changed AFTER the Pro Bowl in a few weeks. I am assuming that there will be a number of practices held during April at Aloha Stadium just to acclimate the team to the new surface.
Haou`oli Makahiki Hou/HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone. As usual, our neighborhood turned into a war zone – even during the heavy showers between 9 and 11 pm. We temporarily “lost” one of our cats last night. He crawled out through a louver in the the small bathroom and pulled open the sliding door to hide in a storage closet in the carport. Around 2 am, he stood ourside our bedroom windown and “asked” to be let back inside.
DrDoc and I are on our way for a long walk while the sun is still out. Cannot believe how quiet it is here in Enchanted Lake. Did everyone shuff off this mortal coil.
howzit yu’all awakening from a hard ny’s eve partying
how you doing?
so da big ten dropped an egg in all it’s bowl appearances. there is justice
oh happy 2011 to da 808
Happy New Year to all! Lots of good things happened in 2010. Hopefully 2011 will be even better!

aw da nice homey and happy 2011 to you and fam
carryover:
In no way do I want this question to be taken the wrong way…but just out of curiosity…when was the last time we had a starting black american offensive/defensive lineman?
i could also ask other teams out there when or if they have ever had a polynesian offesnvie/defensive lineman.
Hawaii in the Rose Bowl?….We could surpass what TCU brought over. The Hawaii transplants in California alone would be like half of what TCU brought.
One day…lets pray…one day.
Ginlack!
34-10 Okies, come on Oklahoma, pour it on!
Wasn’t Ginlack like mixed with Samoan or something
Same to you, Homey-mon!
iwwthm,
The current PC descriptor is: African-American. In the 60’s-70’s it was PC to say black.
What a nice KR for TD by UCONN’s #44.
Heeellllloooooo hooooowwwww yooouuuuuuu, Koakane?
Slugger,
Thats what I thought…then at UH my Sociology and Ethnic Studies professors told me it was Black American…to which I responded why do they have African American listed on surveys etc…to which they responded well something about the black power movement…So I don’t know who to believe.
Hopefully we are living in a community here in Hawaii that is a little less about what we call a particular ethnicity and more about how we treat them…Remember, Haole isn’t the most highly regarded word in the Hawaiian language.
iwwthm what does the word haole have to do with this conversation?
pomai,
Caucasian vs. white vs. haole
pomai,
btw what conversation are you talking about?
Watchin The Green Mile.
How’s the game?
iwwthm,
I have haole friends who refer to themselves as haole. Ainokea and I’m part haole…and Pake.
My honey who is African-American refers to himself as African-American. Twenty years ago he referred to himself as black. It just depends on the times.
iwwthm,
Oops, it was more like thirty years ago…
Slugger,
Guess it also depends on the professors too. Shouldn’t believe everything my professors taught me…that is if I could only remember what they taught me.
Also, I have haole friends whom find the term very offensive…So again it all depends.
Klemm, Forney, Eaton
Klemm was a Vonappon recruit right?
Party’s over; family all gone; food put away; house cleaned and returned to “normal” living situation; and pooped!
good thing this happens only every 3rd year!
no can sleep yet as MasaBoy will call between 9:45-10 pm after working 10+ hours.
Maybe a Wagner recruit if he redshirted. Memory poor in old age.
When I took “Hawaiian” sociology at UH, the term “haole” meant OUTSIDER; nothing to do with color of skin.
That, however, has changed as time went on to mean any one “white”; but, its meaning can change by how it is used by the speaker.
Why is it that when individuals use the term “American” it symbolizes “white America”? Of course the media, any media, perpetuates this by using terms such as Native American, Asian American, African American, etc. Why is it there not a term for English American, French American, German American, etc.? It’s no difference in Hawaii because that’s how we were indoctrinated.
wuz called a haole… when i wuz a kid. summa da name callers received messages from da Lord, speakin thru …. uh… my medium.. right… uhhh. left…. ah… wat da heck… i porget..
wuz even called a n———-er in Georgia back in da day. doze 2 buggaz wuz blind… 😀
UConn get chance. day only down by 4. bwahahahahahaaaaaaaaa….
da best days of my life, living through oddaz. Lookin fo VT to stomp on Stanford. 😀
an hoping Arkansas jump on da Dean’s team. only wish was da Sistahz ah da Poor and not da hillbillies….
Ala Wai….
like you said… you taut was gonna be a certain outcome… @$$$ cuz you’ve been brought up to tink dat way…
same wit our coachin…. gots to put a fire under dare butt$$, remindin dem dat to tink dat way is unacceptable. can… if you prod da mind wit a 2×4. befo you know it, you start to believe… try it…. on da kids 1st.
Happpy for OU. day got jinxed by BSU last time out. and got beat da time befo. good for them. good win.. and da loss couldn’t have been suffered by a betta league, da Big East.
and Oklahoma had a good last week practice, watchin dare earlier bowl game losses.
dats a good one, coach Mack. no look at da odda team’s highlights… look at ours. plenny motivation look dat kine, for sure!!

I sure hope we take a page from BSU’s book and color the field “Warrior green”
Every “manini” detail counts.
the russians are coming
the russians are coming
the russians are coming!
that was a classic movie.
Happy New Year to all! Now back to your regularly scheduled program!
al:
that was a “stupid” movie!! with all the hype that Russia would attack the USA in that era – leave it to Hollywood to arrive at such a spoof!
it kinda funny or at least Hollywood made it so.
Hau’oli Makahiki Hou Tsaikos!
Eh… I dunno.. I think of “haole” as a term describing anything that feels culturally outside of the norms I have grown accustomed to in Oahu. It’s how I felt about Kahalui and Lahaina last winter. Wifey and I were joking how everything felt “haole-fied” and unfamiliar. Still enjoyed our visit but didn’t feel at home.
Oddly, I felt more comfortable in Spain and Japan – even when I couldn’t speak the local languages.
ahouse…sometimes “stupid” is good. no worries.
On New Years Eve, 4 years ago, the blog was getting an astounding 40-90 comments per day and there were “problems”. Some things don’t change, they just go in cycles, but ST has always been consistent in his rules.
Below is a portion of his blog entry 4 years ago. Newcomers probably have not seen it and I do not recall ST listing all of it since. Interestingly, it was at a juncture when there was some doubt the blog would continue since it was the end of UH football season…
Yup, ST’s been to the Principal’s Office a few times because of us and it was and it almost our end. 😐
But that’s another portion of the blog archives and a story for another time.
ralphie…i noticed yesterday you mentioned that we have but 5 verbal commitments. we have 9 verbals and two or three transfers. we have about 7-10 more scholies available for new prospects. after that we have to accomodate the grayshirts.
in addition to the 9 new verbals we must add in sterling jackson, darryl mcbride, who will be on scholie in january or may. these two need to be added to this year’s recruit class.
so recruiting is further along than you think.
I was referred to as a katonk when I moved to Hawaii…
SteveM – thanks for the reminder.
To answer rhe latter part of that question, here is a partial answer. Partial because all of these names listed are names of polynesian linemen that graduated from Hawaii high schools since 2002. It doesn’t include names of Polynesian linemen that graduated from elsewhere.
If the names that have *** star afterwards, then I’m saying that I am not sure if they were starters or not. I list them because they may have been. The ones without stars next to their names, I know for sure have or had started at sometime during their college career.

Thanks for the rules reminder, SteveM!
The other rule is that this blog is not purely about football.
It is about football and a few other f’s
Friends, family, fun, food, fishing, and especially when people are in need, faith.
and that list is for d1 only.
These two comments immediately before my first on New Years Day 2007…
BTW, who do you think is the most deleted poster here?
Not a contest because I obviously cannot substantiate the winner. But there is one I’m pretty sure has not been out-deleted yet–even by some in past year or so.
SteveM must really be bored. He needs to get a better hobby. 😆
homey…you think you could teach stevem to one paddle?
Al I checked last night on the scout.com UH site and only 5 were listed. Good to know that we have 9 verbals with 7-9 more available to award. thanks
hey guys… no paddle, but outboard motor is OK. 🙂
ralphie…for the umpteenth time, scout.com is not accurate. trust the little birdie report…only trust the tweeter report.
There’s a lot of outdoorsie and indoorsie hobbies too. Don’t need a paddle for many of them. Of course you can use the paddle indoors if you desire.
RE: #154
Good point, homey. I was going to respond to that, but this is a family blog. 🙄
Pride,
You always come through…great list.
Wonder how many played for the SEC. I see Tennessee listed there. I guess they don’t need to recruit out west as much.
#145 ~
Kainoa Pe’a – Northern Arizona U.
Hayden Kahele – Northern Arizona U. ***
hey homey – surf’s up!
#157 – I assumed that he meant FBS Slugger. Good info though.
Deleted? Who’s been deleted here. I know that Steve has been barred from Cindy Luis’ s blog. However, after awhile, I tend to skip over posts which I find offensive.
I see that I mis-typed “hau`oli” in my earlier post. Solly about dat.
Re the color of the turf. Green is green and black is black – which one do you prefer? The current color is (faded) green with white lines plus a variety of emblems in various colors.
The problem with artificial turf is that it fades – no matter what color. I suggest that maybe we should request that the new turf include a roll-up cover to protect it from the sun and rain – and put it back after each game.
Great walk earlier today – we walked the dike in Kawainui Marsh -talked with several folks as we chugged along and then walked back to our car along Kihapai Street. Our New year’s reso – on the days when we don’t go to the gym to work out for an hour, we go for a brisk walk for an hour instead. Wonder how long it will take to break that promise?
ANYONE HERE GOING TO THE MEN’S VOLLEYBALL FUNDRAISER NEXT FRIDAY?
jm2375 – I know! WOOT WOOT!
Synthetic turf has UV protection to minimize fading for up to 7-8 years.
vball fundraiser too much kala for my pocketbook. still gotta send in my booster club dues before da Screechers start screeching in my ears in stereo!
Tennessee had Mapu, Jesse Mahelona, and Albert Toeaina awhile back. Usually the only way that Polynesians would end up inthe SEC is through the JC route. Jonathon Mapu out of Kahuku is the exception. Alabama of course is getting Jesse Williams out of Arizona Western in 2011. I believe that Jesse is Polynesian. I may be wrong.

Last bit of trivia for today: homey was the #6 person to post on the Warrior Beat blog when it started. Of the known Tsai-kos today, he is the first.
#165 – Clarification, was not on the first day…and there was a lot of spam back then, not my fault.
Good job ST and techies! No SPAM all day. (am I bachi-ing this?)
To be more precise, I was the 2nd person to comment on the July 24th 2006 blog topic. I posted on 07/25/06 @ 11:14 (according to the blog clock). Mel DeLaura was the first poster on the very first blog topic.
😆
The turf sun-bleaching protection is not a solid given on all brands. Price and quality do matter. I’ll get some information about the turf replacement contract next week and see what the specs are and how the bidders have responded.
The last time I checked in 2008 the price can vary as much as 30% – and the lowest bid has to be accepted unless the specs require minimum standards.
The Department of Accounting & General Services under which Aloha Stadium is placed will be briefing the Ways & Means Committee this Tuesday afternoon on a wide variety of issues. I may not be able to attend the briefing for more than an hour or so because of an earlier commitment which I will try to re-schedule, but, if I cannot, then I will make sure to submit a question in advance about the contract.
Nite bedbugs and everyone else. Another bizzy day tomorrow. Vacation is over.
RE: #166
True. There were 4 real persons on the first day (rest was spam). Only 2 real persons on the second day–well, real enough anyway. 🙂
But the blog comments were up into the teens in August 2006.
OK, I lied…one more trivia about the very first (PROPHETIC) post made by Mel DeLaura…
…enter Al and the Cattle Calls.
but maybe “camp” is a blog cruise. 😆
Last night at home.
Nytal!
Nitey Nite.
Safe trip home, wafan!

I have read numerous posts on this site now and just wanted to state that I absolutely love how you manage to phrase and clarify all the things, it makes it very easy to read. I also absolutely agree with everything you have said here, these kind of things are vitally important to the entire world and the quicker we realize it the better we will be off as a whole.
UH is trying to get a kicker from Baldwin to walk on. Note the part about his kickoffs going into the end zone…
Aloha Kakahiaka!
HTTR!
My 3 New New Years Resoz. Hoping for 3 things.
1. Santos’ academics smart enough to get into UH on da first try.
2. Coach Mack overrides da whatifn coaches on staff and get da Special Teams help we all recognize we needed dis past season, and pick up brudda Enos right away. early bird kinda ting. a local hero, small kine but big kine, like Torres, goes a loonngg way wit da home team.
plus, if heeben kick em outta da enzone, da special teams players get mo time fo spend in study hall, keepin dare up dare, an dare girlfrienz happy.
3. Coaches spend summa dare timez at da Sylvan Learning Center, 😎 learning how fo use their talens fo beat da buggaz an babooozez, learn how fo not to lose at da end, learn how fo take off frum da start. learn how fo not make frenz, learn how fo be like dat coach, learn how for be da baddest baddest day can be. like Demi Moore. 😀
Amene.
an not susan boyle. not dat i got anyting about susan. just like demi, das all. 😀
have a nice day Tsaikos. one paddle 2 paddle in da shade kinda day.
#116 iwonderwhytheyhate: There is no such word in the Hawaiian Language, I’ll explain it to you the next time I see you.
And Wassupdoc it’s Ha`oli no u in the word.
#145 Pride – great list. I believe Eddie Williams was at UCLA which at one time started Maiava, Williams and Kia on the OL before a couple of them got hurt.
Colorado has a Sione Tau from Damien.
Wasn’t there a local player who signed to go to West Virginia a few years ago. I’m not sure if he ever made it there.
Wishing You and your family Happy New Year, Coach Mack. You took da blame. You da man.
Wishing da UH media peeps get on dare website an make da corrections so da football schedule and news is up to date and accurate. no mo menshun BYU 12/3 at Aloha. had to go BYU fo look up da info.
c’mon UH media. make like big time. no expect Mack to do your job. Do your own job.
pomai sign me up for your language sessions

#197 – wish I could say that about the 49ers!!!!!!!
they need to draft a good QB or bring Colt B on board immediately
Thank you TCU for all the little guys!
But, next year you will be in the Big East and an automatic qualifier as a BCS team. You go from the top of a non-AQ conference to the top of the Big East.

Condolences and prayers to the Botelho family.
#185 – Yeah I should have listed Sione Tau. I didn’t because I knew that he wasn’t a starter. But that was wrong of me not to place his name on the list anyway. I apologize.

I would guess the dishwasher doesn’t drain out water. If the water goes in and doesn’t come out then it should flood the kitchen. If it doesn’t do that then the inlet might be closed. I would check that first. If it doesn’t drain the water then there should be a pump to pump out and possibly a valve to open to pump out For that you will need to open it at the back and test. I would get a repairman to have a look. It is not that likely that the pipe is completely blocked up. To start at the sink end might not clear a blockage. I would take it out from the diswasher end and clean it from that end.
