Homecoming for Lolotai
Norm Chow said offensive lineman Waylon Lolotai is transferring to Northern Colorado.
It will be a good situation for Lolotai, who earned his bachelor’s degree this past spring. Lolotai, who was raised in Colorado, will be attending a school near his family. His wife, an attorney, is expecting the couple’s first child this fall.
Chow said he met with Lolotai yesterday. Chow and some of Lolotai’s relatives are long-time friends.
Lolotai, who went on a church mission before enrolling at UH, will have two years of eligibility remaining. He does not have to redshirt this season.
“I’ve really loved my time playing for Hawaii,” Lolotai wrote in an e-mail to the Warrior Beat. “Because I graduated early, I’m able to get my master’s degree in criminal justice and still play ball. I’ll miss Hawaii, but it will always be my second home.”
Lolotai, slotback Miah Ostrowski and offensive tackle Levi Legay are the last links to June Jones’ tenure as UH head coach. Ostrowski and Legay were grayshirts who were signed by Jones but did not play for him.

Former UH quarterback Bryant Moniz is expected to make his first Arena Football League start when his Georgia Force meet the Utah Blaze today in Salt Lake City.
Yesterday, former Warrior Lewis Walker served as host to Moniz and safety Richard Torres. Walker was raised in Salt Lake City and now plays for the University of Utah. Walker is entering his senior season.

Remember former UH basketball player Tony Webster?
After his pro career ended, he remained in New Zealand, where he has lived for 22 years.
Webster’s youngest son, Tai, is 17 and recently was named to New Zealand’s national basketball team. Tai has played on the same team as Isaac Fotu, a UH recruit.
Tai has received offers from Wake Forest and Pittsburgh, but his father said: “Hawaii is a lot closer to New Zealand.”
Wow first again! Woo hoo! Ohayo everyone.
Good luck to all Warriors and Rainbow Warriors, past, present, and future!
eh truegreen…good job.
We need to figure out a way to get highlights of this AFL game.
roots run deep.
lets hope tony’s boy finds his way here.
tony was quite a player for manoa.
Good luck to all the former Warriors! Would be great to see Tai Webster end up in Hawaii. Got to meet Tony Webster in person when he was playing for UH. Terrific player and a very nice and humble guy.
didn’t wesside warrior provide a link yesterday?
Thanks al good to see you. You always up at this hour?
more tai webster stuff
http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/basketball/7124808/Schools-out-for-Tall-Blacks-debutant-Webster/
typically yes. quite the night hawk i am.
especially since i dozed off for an hour awhile back.
Brad Pineau’s son is supposed to be a terrific basketball player, too. They live in Australia.
pineau’s boy is also being rumored to see the hawaiian shores, but, info on him is sketchy.
yup, for all the opala being tossed on the gibber’s desk about the defections, non-qualifiers, and lack of success last year…i hope the program turns around real quick.
we need a hustler who goes out of the box and is relentless in the pursuit of recruits.
remember the sophmore jinx that was placed on june jones after the record breaking turjnaround year. well, the same could be said for gibber.
injuries and lack of depth became most evident…it happens.
banking on all of this year’s recruits making it in this year, this third season’s product could be very entertaining and successful although very youthful.
ST,
Most AFL games are on ustream, so maybe there is something that can be done there.
Good morning!
Wishing the best for Lolotai and family.
No matter where you end up . . . a Warrior you are and a Warrior you shall ever be!
Maybe UH did get some ideas for fundraising from the blog. But, like a bunch of the kids I have they only read and learned part of the information. Need to learn how to do PR next.
Why not continue to read the blog and learn from those who post here. Heck, if they listened ticket sales might even go through the roof. Imagine that . . . being proactive and successful!
Yeah, I know the gears at Manoa need to overcome the rust of complacency that years of “this is the way we have always done it” has caused. Maybe Apple can bring some polish to the organization.
Okay, enough of that.
My waffles await!
I don’t know how many of you have been to New Zealand but my passport pages are filled with entrance and exit stamps from NZ. This is a country that I wish everyone could see at least once in their lives.
I use to spend 6 weeks at a time in NZ because it’s the only way to see this beautiful place. I would rent a car from Budget and tour the back roads. Lodging in NZ is easy to find,many and American motel chains operate in NZ.
At one time in my life I actually got serious about moving there but immigrating to NZ isn’t all that easy.
If you can’t afford a trip to NZ spend some time exploring the country on the internet there is a lot available.
BTW driving on the other side of the road is interesting to say the least.
Stevie Wonder is good for the geriatrics.
I’m thinking a concert loaded with groups or artist that have local appeal would be more attractive. Jack Johnson for example is huge with the younger females.
Last Call: is it preferable that you enjoy eating lamb if you travel to NZ? I heard that there is a lot of sheep over there.
Sizzling Lamb Chops on the Barbee, I’ m in!
Great Morning All!
Looks like a nice group of signees to finish the 2013 recruiting class for the BaseBows including some punch at the plate.

G’day Kekoa!
Have a terrific day erryboddy!
HiHo…..
$20 discount tickets to the San Diego St. road game on Oct. 6. Guaranteed seats (no waiting list, no priority list); guaranteed to sit with other Hawaii fans; will try for sideline seats as close to mid-field as possible (not corner end-zone)–last year we had 40 yard line seats at UW & 50 yd. line seats at San Jose. Email me at: tomkitaguchi@yahoo.com
Good morning! Guess we’re getting our tickets to the Stevie Wonder concert. It’s not for everyone, but thank goodness there are many other ways to support our favorite student-athletes.
Some of you may have received this as members of other booster clubs, but Nā Koa Football Club published on its website a response from the University of Hawai’i Foundation referencing Thursday’s article: http://www.nakoa.org.
I went to a Stevie Wonder concert a few years ago at the Blaisdell (sp?). It was great. He had a revolving stage in the middle of the arena so everyone would have good seats and played all of his hit songs. I remember him when I was young. He was then called Little Stevie Wonder. Appeared in one of these beach movies singing “Fingertips.” If he has the revolving stage again, then there would be no “sitting behind the stage”.
GOOD MORNING HAWAII!
I guess AL went to sleep – it being almost 7:00AM way pass the witching hour!
d1shima – how you doing. No more excursions to the Pacific NW?
#21 Haelakala – supposedly a country with 1 million people and 10-million sheep. For the tourist, they have an agricultural show – shearing sheep etc. They also exhibit the (if I recall) 200 different variety of sheep! And in many of the motels etc, the frig is filled with fresh cold milk – free!
Rugby is huge in NZ . I once attended the Seven’s Championship in NZ and it was great sporting experience. The seven’s format is fast paced and really exciting to watch
NZ – sounds great. makes me want to go there now.
Anybody been back to New Zealand since the devastating earthquake? Also, a while ago, a volcano was erupting there and disrupting air traffic with many flights canceled due to poor visibility.
Good morning folks!
Saw a clip on this morning’s news about the start of robotics soccer. Cool!
Kekoa…no mo stocks this am…you already up or haven’t gone to bed yet? Pulling an “al”?
D1…we’re way over-due for a wes’side meeting! Where’s Koakane and Ralph?
A local travel agency is offering a 2 week tour of Australia and New Zealand for $6,500 per person. That’s rather steep.
Airlines and travel agencies like to route you through Australia. I always do my own travel planning including car rentals,hotels and airlines.
I have always used Air New Zealand’s direct flights to Auckland.I use American based car rental companies and hotel/motel chains.
You can also rent motor homes or the popular campervans. Camping in New Zealand is very popular with many tourist and very safe . Remember this is a country where you rarely see a police officer wearing a gun.
Nice info on NZ…thanks Last Call! I believe Hickam has some AMC flights to NZ and Australia. Would love to visit there.
Slugger, please call me.
BG ~ I’m ready for a Coffee call at the Wessai club house say around 10 this AM.
No trades on Sat., My option positions in the grains are locked in for now.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Congrats to your #2 son D-1. My grandson might be one of his team leaders during his training period. He will also have good support from my nephew Duke, the main warehouse mgr. Slugger, in the Puzzle Palace and head honcho, BG.
Stevie Wonder. Hmmmmm….
tommui,
No PNW trips in the foreseeable future. All that’s left are the credit card balances! 🙁
BG,
Koakane and I were talking about a lunch run next week to a kitchen by a warehouse near you!
Did I mention that I’m off on Tuesday?
Too bad about Bryan Clay.
Papa, check your FB messages.
Good morning everyone!
Best wishes and Good luck to Waylon Lolotai!
I think media relations should work closely with all sports-related groups. If it weren’t for Powder I wouldn’t know about any fundraisers. Plus, we need more lead time. If, say, season tickets are going on sale on a Monday, we’ll usually get an email notice on a Saturday.
#34 GIGI: A cheaper way (I think) is to catch a cruise between NZ and Aus.
Of course you would probably want to spend a few $$ to stay in Sydney for a few nights – which is the last (or first) port on a NZ-AU cruise. It is a “sampling” of NZ or cursory kind of thing but it is better than never doing it at all.
Tom: I’ll look into it. Hubby wants to go there to see the ANIMALS. Lol. We have already seen a kangaroo in the zoo, but need to see a koala bear.
ST, I got emails yesterday afternoon (5:52pm) to inform me of the pre-sale tickets on sale at 9am this morning. Luckily, my credit card held up.
ah, the land of the Hobbits and Lord of the Rings!
wanted to tour NZ to see the movie locations until Mrs A-House discovered that a major “fault line” lay directly below most of NZ – doggone it soon thereafter, NZ had an earthquake and end of any discussion of visiting!
Is it my imagination, but very few if any local players who go the JC route never make it back to play for the Warriors.
Rack-of-Lamb………one of my favorites!!
Good morning from the farmers’ market!
Cheesy bacon & eggs & grits…Tsouthern Tsaiko fuud.
Go Moniz!
Great to see Lewis Walker. He’s a really good guy.
Good luck to Waylon Lolotai.
Just got thru watching a documentary on the Military channel….showed snipits of the airbourne units getting ready to board aircraft bound for the invasion, WWII, and I was rather surprised to see a paratrooper with a tomahawk hair cut like you see in modern-day sports teams!? anyway, thought that was pretty awesome.
D1shima,
Let me know about lunch at the kitchen next door and I’ll put it on my schedule.
A-house,
It would be interesting to see the stats on the percentage of ALL who go the JUCO route that make it into DI programs.
There’s usually one of two reasons why a player goes to JUCO….
Kekoa,
I like working with your ‘ohana.
BG,
Will call when my mouth is not full ‘o grits.
#46 AHouse – there is a major fault line throughout California, Japan, Italy, Peru/Chile too!
mroning all hawaii nei, cloudy but clearing up
mmmmm lunch call eh sounding good did some one mention he’s of on tuesday?
just saying da sun just puka thru
Not MY fault!
ahouse betta go before no moa NZ and only can view it if skin diving off the barrier reef lol
what kind faulty thinking dat?
looking like Ihop calling
#44 GIGI – one of the cruises NZ-AUS stops in Tasmania for the day – great wildlife park outside of Holbarth – koala, kangaroos of all types, Tasmanian devils etc. – all approachable, touchable – except for the Tasmanian Devil.
Sydney Zoo and the usual breakfast with the ‘roos etc. in various tours.
Re: #43
tommui — LoCal Tsai-ko hawnstln just did a 14-nt Australia and New Zealand cruise 7 months ago. More than a week going around New Zealand and getting off in Aukland — less than $2,000 per person as I recall (excluding air). His itinerary:
14-nt o/w Sydney to Aukland NZ. Melbourne, Tasmania, Milford Sound, Fiordland National Park (cruising), Dunedin, Christchurch, Picton, Queen Charlotte Sound (cruising), Capt. Cook Ship Cove (cruising), Wellington, Napier, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty (cruising), and Coromendel Peninsula (cruising).
Great “scouting” mission around New Zealand islands and shore excursions inland. The Aukland debarkation opens more land opportunities.
I think if a player goes to JC with the intent of earning an associate’s degree quickly, then the transition is easier. But it is a shock. You’re away. You’re on your own. You’re competing against 90 other players who have the same dream. And you’re probably only taking the minimal amount of classes to be a full-time student.
UH is doing a campaign now about “15” — the number of credits a student should take each semester to earn an associate’s degree in two years and a bachelor’s in four. Twelve credits per semester is the minimum needed to be recognized as a full-time student (by financial-aid people), but it doesn’t put you on a fast track.
The longer it takes to earn an AA, the harder it will be for a JC player. Two concerns: 1) the eligibility clock. 2) the NCAA progress-to-a-degree clock.
I think a player going the JC route should go to a school in Arizona, which offers scholarships, and he should try to gray shirt so the clock doesn’t start right away. That’ll give five semesters to earn an AA, and leave three years to play two seasons at a Division I school.
That 15 credit push by UH is very interesting given the blowback regarding the students’ claim of lack of seat availability in classes they need to get their chosen degree. Factor in scheduling issues from various team commitments and it becomes even more challenging.
I remember the old days of standing outside Klum Gym, in a line as if we were going to buy concert tickets. The doors open, and we’d race around trying to sign up for classes.
The big factor was the final-exam dates. Didn’t want to have more than two finals on the same day.
It’s hard to explain the old registration process to a generation that doesn’t know what it’s like to live without the Internet.
I remember standing in line at Klum Gym to register. There was cardboard to protect the floor.
I remember students sitting on the ground in the middle of the gym crying in frustration at not being able to get those IBM cards. Their planning sheets had pukas in it from erasing so many times.
…once registration was done the next thing was finding parking.
For two semesters I ended up parking at that church on University Ave just past Screecher’s school. Walking over the hill to class was OK if you were in BusAd; not so good if you were going anywhere past Bilger.
SteveM and Tom: good stuff to know!!! Might take the cruise either in 2013 or 2014. There’s so much world to see. Russia is another place I want to visit.
But what has this got to do with Warrior football? Lol.
It took me 40 minutes to walk from my parents’ house in Manoa to the Music dept on Dole St. I didn’t get my 1st car til I turned 33.
Good morning Tsaikos!
Best wishes to Waylon Lolotai!
Is it football season yet?
d1 – did you have classes at Varsity Theater?
When I worked at UH, there were some semesters I didn’t have parking and had to park in Manoa near Noelani Elementary. Good thing I worked in the Biomed Bldg.
In HS, I got to school before 6:30 am to find street parking in the Metcalfe St area. I got several parking tickets over the years, usually at the end of the month, so HPD could fill their quota.
What is the concert time and date?
Now here’s a recollection from a REAL old fart (or fut if you’re local): Who remembers registration in the couryard of Hemmingway? And picking up cards for classes on the second floor? Back then, day school was about 6,000 and total enrollment was about 7,500. Tuition was $75.00/semester, books about $40.00.
The mall leading to the EW Center wasn’t built until 1964? Before that it was a dirt road with feed grass for the College of Ag where Hamilton Library now stands.
#72 – wafan check your email.
d1:
wonder who would keep that kind of stat?
certainly does not benefit UH in very few actually return to play – question then becomes why would UH recruit those players? only for “show”?
Parking? We parked illegally alongside the dirt road adjacent to Keller Hall and when ticketed, the ticket would be carefully placed in the glove comparment and be reused the next time we parked in the same location. Campus security would see the “clean” ticket and don’t both to look to see that it was weeks old! Paid that ticket before the end of the semester so that registiration the following semester wouldn’t be blocked. One ticket lasted all semester.
No parking garage in the Quarry. In fact, only Klum Gym and the dance classroom portable was in the Quarry. Who remember the huge wooden stairway linking the Quarry with Dole street parking. The stairway was about opposite the Pineapple Research Institute (PRI).
By the way, Cooke Field was located where the Engineering bldg stands.
tommui:
that’s why we no longer visit California.
did you know there is a “major” fault below Tropicana Ave in Vegas? some geologists say a major quake at this area will make a totally new “ocean front view” for Nevada.
back in 1961 I proposed to UH admin to build parking structures along the “cliff” in the quarry with office/classroom/dorm rooms at street level and above – they thought I was crazy – they had a great laugh.
gigi — the aspect of cruising I look at here for Tsai-kos is the Cattle Call, Blog Party, Karaoke Call, and tailgate. I have enjoyed many.
Imagine a cattle call every meal (intentional or not). Karaoke Call every night. Dancing. “tailgate” at the pool and ubiquitous poolside bar. No cooking, free fuud, no cleanup, no driving home. Runs 24/7 for at least a week. It’s Tsai-ko party time with a few daytime land distractions. 😆
Tailgate cruise? Example: many tour companies were offering Alaska cruise before the UH-WA game last year…now that’s one heck of a tailgate–and you get off the ship the day of the game…
SteveM: you have convinced me to take a cruise someday. It sounds exciting. I’ll speak to my internist about seasickness and remedies.
Hemmingway Hall was used for class registration back in my days and if you had the wrong alpha last name – all classes were filled and had to jockey around to fill up the 12-15 credits with whatever was available
back in the late 1980’s UH started to use the internet for class registration
ST,
Regarding #64, yeah that brings back some memories. I also remember carrying around those boxes of IBM cards that we would run through a card reader. My son is into video games and the like and I tell him that I played Donkey Kong, Tron, Tempest back in the day in Puck’s Alley.
I am only 66 but I am so brain dead I could never become a college student again. Registration alone would kill me.
BTW, guys, it is spelled HEMENWAY Hall, not Hemingway.
jmxxxx,
Fortunately, no.
KRes,
Wow! You ol’, eh? 😆
Wie scored 73 today.
Ahhh…UH in the late 60’s. Klum Gym registration. $125 per semester. $15 Athletic book fee. Books for semester = $165. Parking in the quarry and street up by the YWCA. Graces Lunch Wagon 65 cents. Walking to Varsity theatre from Hemenway Hall with 2 sprained ankles From sandlot football–don’t ask how i sprained two).
From Weside Warrior yesterday (Thanks WW):
Breaking Force news…
“Can watch free online at:
http://www.ustream.tv/user/AFLForce
If that doesn’t work, you can always go back to georgiaforce.com and catch the live stream off of their team site.”
I tried it a little while ago and not yet posted…
You can go here but it says “Moniz Force” starts at 9pm (Utah time? Georgia time?…)
http://www.georgiaforce.com/
“Moniz Force” my own quotes and words…
I think it fits.
So maybe the game will be Hawaii time around 6pmish or 3pmish?
#73 Kaneohe Resident
I forgot (old fut) but my wife said that I parked behind Hemenway Hall as there were loads of (free) parking. Of course I graduated in 1954!
Kaneohe:
Parking is still a pain. And now the Manoa Market Place is putting a boot on cars.
ST ~ They got the tow companies to relax a bit on the ‘booting’ of the illegally parked cars at Manoa Market Place. Some of the folks who got nailed for $120 to have the boot removed will get a refund from the Mgr of the Market place. They just want peeps to know they have ‘eyes’ on you!
Website said Georgia Force game is 7 pm mountain time, so 3pm hawaii time.
Cripes jiminy! Thanks!
Tailgating Stevie at the SSC. Check!!
Any CPAs put there? Can we write off some of this too since its a benefit?
You guys recently handled a claim for a snake bite for my one-year-old lab, and I’m not exaggerating when I say that having our PetPlan policy let us get him the treatment he needed to stay alive. Two and a half weeks later, he’s back to his outrageously enthusiastic self, and I am not buried in debt after bills totaling nearly $4K. The service Petplan provided was so personal, prompt, and compassionate that I felt compelled to send you a copy of the review and a photo of Zeke. Thank you so much for being there for both animals and their human caretakers. With gratitude, Dana Mortensen.
Pomai . . .
Thanks for the information.
Any reports from the Force?
Hello, I enjoy your weblog. Is there something I can do to receive updates like a subscription or something? I’m sorry I am not acquainted with RSS?
Oops. Force game at 9 EST.
Gotta learn to tell time.
Game on! Go Moniz and Georgia Force…whoo-hoo—futball yah!
Lets see if this USTREAM will pick up the game. Not showing anythign yet tho…
Just came up…
http://www.ustream.tv/GeorgiaForce
I’m watching it on their home page loud and very HD clear!
http://www.georgiaforce.com/
Thanx Wes Side!
Fooooooootballlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!
Detroit Lions signed the former Force qb just last week…
Moniz only got one short pass off. 4th down but they tried a field goal…
Yep, Archer with the Lions. The other Force QB, Colston. Wonder if he going get some playing time.
I don’t watch much AFL. It sort of takes some time to get use too. But fun nonetheless when you have some ex-Warriors playing.
Somebody referred to as the pineapple express for Utah.
Who dat?
nice…no commercials
😆
groan…Moniz has to start from 2 yard line…
Wow! Two great phone calls just finished up… one from my best friend from Korea, 1989, and then another from a hanabata dayz friend doing guard stuff in Tennessee, but in Georgia for the weekend!
Now, logging in to catch this Force game… and see Brotzman miss the PAT.
Moniz 3 for 3…he now has rythm…
Moniz tried to run it on 4th down but got saved with a face mask penalty on Utah.
Yea!
Another defense penalty by Utah blaze. 1st down within ten yard line.
USTREAM is pumping out commercials. Good time to look up the rules of the AFL.
Life is good. Watching Moniz, Angels and Dodgers and finishing up Beer can Chicken on the BBQ with Huli Huli sauce, thanks to visit to Murukai
Moniz 7 of 10…TOUCHDOWN!
Georgia leads 7 to 6 Go Moniz!
Sorry about the commercials Shoko…suddenly they snuck in.
🙁
Some of these Utah fans are pretty nuts.
LOL! THAT is how close the action is! We were even talking with Richard Torres before a couple of kickoffs in Georgia! Hahaha!
The pineapple express the announcers keep referring to is:
Shaun Kauleinamoku, number 21, WR, 5-10″,185 lbs, from
Western Oregon, 25 years young…
boy, don’t those jack rabbit receivers look like they are way offsides when they
run by the qb?
Yup. “Special K” is from St. Louis, I think.
Ron McBride is the new offensive coach for the Utah Blaze…
hmmmmmm….
The VooDoo used that big lineman eligible play against the Force for a TD a few weeks ago.
Wonder if Tsai or GiGi and others are watching.
How can you not get excited about a chance to watch Moniz?
And not comment?
dont tell but i’m watching at work…
Tough to post and watch on the same computer. Tommy Grady is Edison HS grad in Huntington Beach, CA
Force gotta get back in sync. Need a defensive stop too.
They said Detroit took Archer to offset Boise qb or to push him…
Those black Blaze helmets are nice.
One-minute warning… must advance the ball.
Is Richard Torres playing?
Haven’t seen Torres.
Detroit having doubts about taking Kellen Moore?
Hey Ipu and Westside,
Are you guys watching on ustream Or another online site? Ustream is kinda off for me here.
USTREAM seems okay for me. Ipu said he watching through a link on the Force website.
Is it me or has Utah scored on every possession.
Ustreaming it…
That Wing Nutz commercial is really killing me. In a good way. 😉
http://www.ustream.tv/GeorgiaForce
Go to http://www.georgiaforce.com/
Scroll down halfway on the left side, and click on the “Catch us on Ustream” picture.
Wonder why they haven’t put Torres in. They been playing a couple of two-way players who don’t seem to like to tackle on defense. At least Torres hits like a beast! Unleash that beast!!!
Here’s the link to AFL rules:
http://www.georgiaforce.com/team/afl-101/
Thanks guys… The audio is off for me on ustream. I hear the play by play before I see it. Hopefully it’ll fix itself…. I really hope Mo can put together a second half comeback…
Coach McBride is being interviewed on Ustream now.
And if you guys miss anything, the streamed games are recorded and may be watched over from the team’s website.
Richard Torres is number #21 for Georgia Force…
Westside,
Thanks for the 411… It’s much appreciated…
Shoko,
I think you’re right. They scored every time…AFL is exciting…
The Force’s new Fullback is also #21.
Ipu,
Thanks as well..
Oh dang it… that was Torres who just got beat on that TD. He’s #23.
hmmmm, maybe Torres playing fullback too?
Oh, dang darn dang—sorry to hear that WW…
No. They changed his number, looks like. The replay showed his name on the jersey. Number 23 is not on the printed game roster. It’s a new issue.
Kyung Kim, formerly of Maui, wins USGA Public Links Championship.
http://www.usga.org/ChampEventArticle.aspx?id=21474847592
Richard just recovered that fumble on the kickoff run back.
That big dude who scored for Utah, Ed Ta’amu, graduated from Iolani and played
for Utah and recently for Spokane Shock…
At least they’re playing… Seems like Colt could do this, with his accuracy. Still can’t believe Archer was invited to Detroit.
Fumble! Yes! Force ball!
That guy that got the free ball…? That front row is $100 seats!
Let’s go, Force. Gotta score after that turnover!
Yup. Colt could do this!
Lol! Automatic first down!
So can Moniz with a lil more experience.
Yes! Force TD! Keep it going!
There’s Torres!!!
Love Moniz dump lateral on reverse play…
Was Torres playing all this time? Was looking for number 21 all this time!
Torres is in on this series.
Dang it! Need a couple of stops!!!
He was out most of the first half. I don’t recall seeing him.
Torres’ number?
Torres is number 23 says WW.
Need him to intercept a lot like he did for UH…
Fanks IM.
Roster says 21, but he’s wearing 23 in this game. Didn’t see him in the first half. He’s on special teams too.
Dang, Bruddah Mo has been giving the Utah fans lots of footballs! Hahaha!
TD! Yes! Ten point game again! Let’s go, defense!!!
Moniz finding his ryddum…
Why is Torres wearing eye black?
For those of you who can afford the Stevie Wonder concert, please enjoy it for those of us who cannot. One of the problems with not using credit cards is that we have to pay cash for everything and two football and Wahine volleyball season tix are pushing close to $850
The man who owns ESPN 1420 is Duane Kurisu – he is also a part-owner of the SF Giants. I keep running into him at various quasi-political events, but we wind up talking about baseball except during formal meetings.
He sits on the Public Land Develoipment Corporation which was established by the 2011 Legislature. Some of my enviro colleagues are convinced that the PLDC is going to build a 40-story hotel on the top of Diamond Head and sell Pearl Harbor to the Chinese.
feeling bad for Torres. Second time he got beat.
Need some “Forcefull” D!!
Hey Doc! 😉
Moniz 22 of 38 no interceptions and just made a nice run!
Holy smokes, Moniz’s hair is short!
So THAT’S what Moniz looks like widdout da hair… 🙂
Isn’t it nice to watch football all together again?
Yesh. Yesh it is…
Talk about adding insult to injury after the sack.
Not looking good…
So much for short hair making you a better player…
Utah have long hair guys all around doing great.
Mo must have read that article stating that long hair increases chances of a concussion.
Oh well. Not exactly the outcome I was hoping for, but it was nice to see Mo and Torres out there living their dream.
Thanks for 411 Wes’side! See you next game errybody! This makes me miss the Hammerheads…
On one play, Moniz lost his helmet when he fell on that mishandled snap… and he doesn’t have long hair… So much for THAT excuse.
Overall, Moniz had a decent game. Just gotta match the other team and score on every possession.
The right guard sliding over stepped on Moniz’s foot, and he couldn’t move.
That’s old Mo. Nice scramble.
The announcer seems pretty familiar with Mo’s background.
td– moniz is mugged
Yup. At least one of these announcers has given Moniz (and UH) some props throughout the game.
When the Force played the VooDoo a few weeks ago, they kicked an onside kick right to the facemask of one of the VooDoo players, and the ball was recovered by the Force. Never seens something like that before.
Last time these teams met Utah won 74 to 71…
So defense of Georgia got a little better.
“You can’t argue with the logic.”
I think you can.
I like the rule about adding the penalty yards after the kickoff return. NCAA should try that.
Well, not the outcome I hoped for, but it’s so good to be watching some football and cheering da boyz again. Next game for the Force is at home on July 1st. We should have a good-sized Green crowd. I think others will show up just ’cause Moniz is a huge step up from Archer.
Moniz has to move his feet out of the way of them big linemen!
The Big linemen got to learn not to go backwards but forward…
Well, sometimes sidewards…but not backwards. Stand your ground men…
boys, too.
And hats off to Tsai, as this is one of the most cleanest non-spam
blogs recently ever…He must have been shooting them down as
soon as they pop up…
Saw the score on KITV. Too bad the Force lost. Didn’t watch the game. Was reading my Kindle and weeping. BooHoo. what a tearjerker. Glad to see you guys had a good time, though.
Gigi:
Reading the Twilight books again?
ST: Nah!!! Seriously, I watched 20 minutes of the 1st movie on DVD and was bored to tears. So of course, I wouldn’t buy the books and read them! Lol.
Instead, I read a memoir of a woman who flew in a plane her hubby was piloting. Plane crashed and burst into flames. Woman was burned 80%.
Story of survival. What made me cry was her children’s negative reaction to her burned and disfigured face and body. And how with time, they grew to accept and love her.
Gigi:
That is a nice story.
Now, this is a not-so-nice story:

Well, there should be some compensation. The parents should pay her medical and drug (for pain) bills.

Sorry I was MIA for a long time…a day full of phone calls!
D1…Tuesday works for me! Let me know the time.
Wafan…your boots on red dirt yet?
Gigi,
You believe Lloyd deserves compensation from the parents of the kid?
I thought you would….
Kevin: absolutely. I would have compensated her if that were my son or daughter. It’s the Korean way.
If my son broke my neighbor’s window with a baseball, I would compensate the neighbor. It’s the Korean way.
How much worse to damage someone’s face.
gigi – did you even read the article? Sounds like the parents tried to help but the b____ (and her lawyer) ignored them and sent the kid threatening letters and then the lawsuit. She’s just looking for a payday. Can you say “frivolous” or “nuisance”?
Hey, the article says absolutely nothing about the parents offering to help. And permanent damage to the face is not frivolous.
I used to work in a personal injury law firm. This sounds like a good case for plaintiff.
Yeah, but why file a lawsuit and send threatening letters to an 11 year old? It was an accident. You take a risk when anytime you’re near a ball field. It just stinks of someone looking for a payday in addition to being a b$$$$$.
BG,
Roger…wilco…out!
I wonder if she got to keep the ball?
Wouldn’t the ball be evidence in the case? Like a bullet in a shooting…with the kids DNA and everything… right? Ooops, sorry, watching too much CSI… 🙂
d1 @ #233… alrighty then 😀
Sorry, you take your chances at any ball field. Pay attention to where the balls are going. That’s why I always worried with all the people walking back and forth at RWSS, totally oblivious to the fact that a game was going on….
I have a solution for those people getting their cars booted at Manoa Marketplace for going to Starbucks across the street. Just go to Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf! It’s in the shopping center!! Right jojo? 😆
You’re at a ballfield, it’s an assumed risk. If an 11-year old throwing from a crouch (kid was catching) intentionally hits a small target outside a fenced area 60 plus feet away with enough left on the ball to do some serious damage, sign the kid now and turn him into a pitcher.
Lady, if you’re going to sue someone, the deep pocket isn’t the kid. Why not blame the park owner for the placement of the picnic table?
Not paying attention at a baseball field is like walking through a driving range
Walking through a driving range is for advanced dodgeball players only.
Just back from a baby luau. Wow!…uku pile-a-kids!! Now that all the kids are knock out, the adults are playing poker. I think one of the kids parents’ just made enough for tuition at UH for at least 2 years.
I’m ready for crash! Nyetol…Zzzzzzzzzzzz
While I think the whole suit is a fraud, as is the character of the plaintiff along with those that support such an individual, this is the most logical thing with regards to any kind of suit considering the location of the incident.
‘J’, sounds like you did some kind of legal work before and actually know what you are talking about, or perhaps you exhibit more common sense than others.
In the end, some people do feel all accidents are other people’s fault.
In the end, there are people in this world that live on the belief their kaka doesn’t stink and others are beneath them.
In the end, most of us can thank our lucky stars we do not associate ourselves with such individuals in our daily lives.
