Austin power

Former UH quarterback Shane Austin is making a strong early impression as the starting quarterback for the Everett (Wash.) Raptors of the Indoor Football League.

Helmet_Modern_Raptors_rleft_160In his first game, he threw seven touchdown passes. Last week, he had a league-high nine TD throws.

It’s an 8-on-8 format. The Raptors’ offense has three lineman, two “high-motion” receivers, a running back and Mr. Touchdown.

Austin hopes to parlay the gig into a job with in the Canadian Football League. But for now, he’s having a blast playing football.

The Raptors travel to New Mexico today for this weekend’s game. Next week, the Raptors face the Allen Wranglers, led by Terrell Owens. Yes, that T.O.

In the NCAA vernacular, May is “Junior Month,” a time when coaches are permitted to go out  to evaluate — and make offers — to prospects who will be high school seniors in the fall.


The Warriors have four coaches on the mainland and one coach (Tony Tuioti) who is making the American Samoa/Australia circuit. At this time, the coaches are allowed to make word-of-mouth offers; offers in writing may not be issued until September.

Head coach Norm Chow is concluding exit interviews with players today.

The coaches have collected the playbooks, which will be re-issued when the players report to training camp on Aug. 1. The first practice is Aug. 2.

Chow did well selling Keiki Day newspapers yesterday. Then again, he is experienced. Chow used to sell newspapers at the old Honolulu Stadium when he was a keiki.

Former Warriors Aaron Brown (St. Louis Rams), Zach Masch (Seattle Seahawks), Liko Satele (Arizona Cardinals), Vaughn Meatoga (Cincinnati Bengals) and Austin Hansen (Philadelphia Eagles) are preparing for tomorrow’s start of their three-day rookie camps.

    Number 1?


  2. Buffoman May 10, 2012 6:32 am

    When a “verbal offer” is made, can a prospect “accept” and although non-binding, does the offerer then set aside a scholarship for the individual hoping for a future binding commitment?

    Or, how does all work and is it just a show, as nothing is binding?


  3. lurker Ron May 10, 2012 6:34 am

    Top 10!


  4. Stephen Tsai May 10, 2012 6:38 am

    Buffoman:

    Yes, if a prospect accepts, then the school will hold a scholarship.

    That’s the case with Kahuku’s Waa and Falemalu.


  5. A-joe May 10, 2012 6:39 am

    There’s 115 before we strap it up with USC. What are the Manoa men doing today to bring us a victory come September 1st? Who wants to win? Who believes we will? Who’s putting in the time to make it happen?

    Please, don’t wait to August to get in gear. Too late already! Nows the time to work your ass off!!

    And Eh! No forget to vote everyone!


  6. Stephen Tsai May 10, 2012 6:42 am

    UH worked the players in the spring to get them in the mindset of being ready for the start of training camp.

    For some reason, the training period seems shorter this year. There will only be three true two-a-day practices. The rest will be extended morning practice with walk-throughs in the afternoon.


  7. Slugger May 10, 2012 6:46 am

    Morning gang!

    Good luck in camp, guys.

    I’m getting ready for graduation on Sat. ST, how many seniors on the fb team are walking?


  8. Stephen Tsai May 10, 2012 6:48 am

    Slugger:

    Don’t have a number on that yet. (The media relations guy is in Chicago with the tennis team.)

    But I do know that all four men’s volleyball seniors will be getting their degrees. Congrats again to Jared Lofy, Nick Castello, Steven Hunt and Troy Crutchfield.


  9. Slugger May 10, 2012 6:51 am

    We honored 7 seniors at sb and Jocie who is leaving. Is she going thru graduation Sat.? Pomai, gmahoney?


  10. Stephen Tsai May 10, 2012 6:54 am

    Slugger:

    You should show up at the Letter Winners’ clubhouse at about 8 a.m. on Saturday.

    All of the UH student-athlete graduates gather there for picture taking and to receive a special UHAD sash.

    Good morning TSAIKOS!

    Dragging over from the last post!

    JASON

    Congrats to the Moanalua golf team for winning the HHSAA State golf team title and also from Moanalua, John Oda for winning the HHSAA individual title!

    John Oda is a class act! A very fine young man that both his parents and school can be proud off.


  13. HawaiiMongoose May 10, 2012 7:03 am

    Congratulations to Moanalua. Go Menes!

    Does Moanalua get to practice at Honolulu Country Club?


  17. Slugger May 10, 2012 7:11 am

    Pomai, k I didn’t think she was a sr.

    ST, if I get up early enuf, I’ll try go. Would be the best way to catch most of them.


  18. A-joe May 10, 2012 7:11 am

    Duffer- Your boy represented Maui well!

    Proud of him!


  19. Stephen Tsai May 10, 2012 7:14 am

    That’s the best way.

    You get to speak with them individually without a large crowd. Plus, you can leave right after that. It’s better than trying to hunt down people in the heat.


  20. whitey May 10, 2012 7:16 am

    Congratulations to all the UH graduated this Saturday. My friend is celebrating cause he no need take/pickup his daughter at Kahului Airport every Monday. Been doing that for 2 years. Way to go Kristie!!!


  21. Stephen Tsai May 10, 2012 7:17 am

    Whitey:

    Congratulations to your friend’s daughter.


  22. Stephen Tsai May 10, 2012 7:19 am

    It’s amazing that after you get a degree, you soon hear from Prudential (offering you a sales tryout) and Sallie Mae (wanting her money back).

    Sallie Mae is a cold, cold woman.


  23. 3-Prong May 10, 2012 7:23 am

    Whitey, saw your post last night. Were you asking if “got fish” from Oregon or at Liliha Bakery? Only had time to fish one day while up there. This is what I posted last Friday.

    Catch Report. Hooooo Some Tired, fished the Willamette hard today. Saw some osprey, bald eagles, fed wild geese by hand behind the boat while trolling at .8 mph, ate smoked spring king w creme cheeze and ritz and drank some awesome microbrews while we waited for the bite. Saw couple of the other boats land #20 lb chrome brights but we werent so fortunate. Fish finder was going off all day but kings d/n cooperate. Kind of frustrating. Ended the day by targeting, landing and releasing a handfuls of small sturgeon. At least got to fight fish and watch drag go. Thats why they call it fishing and not catching. Still an awesome day fishing w/ friends and enjoying pacific nw beauty. Got the invite for next year too…… Next time.


  24. PowderPuff May 10, 2012 7:23 am

    why do they collect the playbooks? shouldn’t the boys be studying those over the summer for fall camp?

    Good Thursday morning Tsaiko Nation!

    Good job Coach Duffer!

    Thanks for mentoring the youngsters of the iphone generation in the skills required to compete in Golf.

    It looks as if your *Ace* student has done very well for himself. Continued success to you both.

    And congrats to Coach Duffer. Best wishes for further success.


  31. Stephen Tsai May 10, 2012 7:50 am

    Mauiwarrior:

    It’s actually kind of interesting. During the season, each player gets the game-plan book. Then that’s collected, and a new game-plan book is issued the next week.

    The players have access to videos through their smart phones, laptops and iPads.

    A-Joe is correct….work your butts off, train hard during the off-season…lift, lift, lift….run, run, run…..practice practice practice until everything is automatic…..

    Waiting for the weather to clear so that our Rainbow Wahine can take care of bidness.

    Just watched the Florida Gators devour LSU in Game #1 of the SEC Tourney in a pitchers duel 1-0.

    Time for some breakfast of Champions.

    aloha kakahiaka 808 sunny day again, were you expecting anything else

    congrats to moanalua on their hs golf championship

    missing out on a good hs baseball state tourny, super baseball by all in the quarterfinal and should continue into the semi’s then finals. outer island teams really playing their best, possible all big island championship if they pull it out tonight.

    with all due respect to bpjm I don’t list to BC for some time now (not going there with why) but just saying some teams were told UH maybe practicing between 11-1 the week of the state playoffs before they leave for the mainland. seems it worked out and all is good. anyway hope trap made some arrangement to have somebody scout this tourny. get some good HI talent.

    al heard from birdie (coaches) Puns did throw their number one against Hilo. I had the same thoughts on why save #1 gotta play you best.

    anyway all public school semi and finals. who are you pulling for Hilo, Waiakea, Balwin or Pear City? gotta love it.


  45. Chop Sticks May 10, 2012 8:32 am

    H.S. baseball – 3 outer island teams and P.C. Where da ILH teams? MPI did another “One and Dunn” appearance. Kailua losing to Hilo! What’s going on this year? Kailua really took Hilo cheap as they should have had a preview from Punahou on Tuesday night. Puns threw the wrong kid against Hilo. Experience counts.


  46. BIF May 10, 2012 8:34 am

  49. Ipu Man May 10, 2012 8:57 am

    To whoever never knew what it meant:

    Cinco de Mayo

    It’s an annual celebration of the anniversary of the Battle of Puebla–when a relatively small contingent of Mexicans kicked the French, (Maximillian), out of Mexico.

    Here’s the complete story:

    Back in 1912, Hellmann’s mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, México, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York. This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to México. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost.

    The people of México, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day. The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.

    🙄

    #70. No sick leave this time of the season. Owls have the wrong kids playing. It’s all about execution. Even Cal Ripken could lay a bunt down when called upon. Small ball does not work when trailing by 3 in the 5th inning. You’re just giving outs away.

  59. Hilo Moon May 10, 2012 9:14 am

    What happened to the Wahine softball game. HD channel 1012, right? I called Oceanic and that automated system is like ridng a merry-go-round that never stops. Or it’s like catching the right bus and you find out that it doesn’t stop where you want, even if your stop is on the route.


  60. J-FORCE May 10, 2012 9:14 am

    Playing the old wac teams like airforce, colorado st and wyoming reminds me of

    the warriors playing smash mouth fooball back in the 80’s. With te in the mix, as well

    as pulling guard and full back, manu o manu type mentality, i think it will be fun to

    watch. That’s like watching hs football type games. Remember M. Odom and A. Noga,

    just to name few. It’s gonna be war in the field. Trust me on this one. Go Warriors!!


  61. Stephen Tsai May 10, 2012 9:17 am

    A good running game helps the defense.

    It also shortens a game, which helps writers meet deadlines.


  62. Hilo Moon May 10, 2012 9:18 am

    I love that 4 public schools ( 3 from neighbor islands) are in the state baseball finals. This town would go “nuts” if Hilo and Waiakea end up playing each other! Yes, “nuts” and really proud.

    Odd that Puns didn’t throw Combs till the very end of the season. He was looking good last year as a frosh. 80’s FB. Muenster in the past had arm trouble. Watching him throw this past year is completely different from his frosh/soph years. Motion is stiff and not fluid at all, like throwing darts. Velocity was significantly down this year (upper 70’s).


  77. Chester May 10, 2012 10:12 am

    So what’s the latest on the Warrior volleyball team? Word is the top Canadian recruit has de-committed and additional transfers from the current team are to be expected. Just rumors? Does Wade have any other recruits lined up for next season?

    State HS baseball – Sorry that the Warriors of KS-Kapalama lost, but very very happy to see Public Schools and Outer Island teams doing well. The outer island teams put the “State” in State Tourney.

  104. Kekoa May 10, 2012 12:36 pm

    1 more run scores, so after 5 complete, UH up 5 to 1.


  105. Slugger May 10, 2012 12:48 pm

    Go WAHINE!!!

    Good job, Shane!


  106. Ballpicker May 10, 2012 12:49 pm

    71-74 played with Vern Ramie, Blaine Gaison who were sophomores my senior year.


  107. Kekoa May 10, 2012 12:53 pm

    Top of 7th for the Sportans, last call! Score still at 5 to 1.


  108. Ballpicker May 10, 2012 12:54 pm

    Should have made the states my senior year but our last game with punahou was called due to darkness. We had the lead but could not finish the bottom of the inning so they reverted to the last completed inning where the puns had the lead. Drats. They’re coach was none other than Pal Eldridge. Decades later I got to play golf with him and we had a blast talking baseball and a out that year in particular. They had a guy named Mosi Tatupu. What a beast. Nice guy though.


  109. Kekoa May 10, 2012 12:55 pm

    Er..Spurtans..ok Spartans, watevah…


  110. madeinhawaii May 10, 2012 12:58 pm

    Go Wahine.. three more outs to go.

    Ooops first batter walked.. dang.


  111. Kekoa May 10, 2012 12:59 pm

    Ballpicker, did you play on the ’63 or ’64 or team?


  112. Kekoa May 10, 2012 1:01 pm

    Ball game! Wahine end it at 5 to 1!


  113. kawika49 May 10, 2012 1:01 pm

    Way to go Wahine


  114. HiFlyer May 10, 2012 1:05 pm

  115. wafan May 10, 2012 1:13 pm

    Whoo-hoo!

    Being the Titas!!!


  116. wafan May 10, 2012 1:15 pm

    Tatupu graduated in ’73, I think.


  117. Stephen Tsai May 10, 2012 1:19 pm

    I think Tatupu’s last season football season was 1973. He graduated in 1974.


  118. Stephen Tsai May 10, 2012 1:21 pm

    Blane Gaison graduated from Kamehameha in 1976.

    I remember Gaison’s last Prep Bowl. Our social club was part of the clean-up crew. Interesting procedure. Sweep everything to the front row, then scoop up the big pile.


  119. 3-Prong May 10, 2012 1:22 pm

    Anybody know if Tatupu won an ILH or State championship in football? If so what year? Trying to refresh my memory.


  120. jm2375 May 10, 2012 1:38 pm

    Congrats to the Wahine!!

    GO BOWS!

    UH defeats San Jose State at WAC softball tournament

    By Star-Advertiser staff

    *** POSTED: 02:00 p.m. HST, May 10, 2012 ***

    The University of Hawaii softball team opened the Western Athletic Conference tournament with a 5-1 win over San Jose State today in Las Cruces, N.M.

    UH shortstop Jessica Iwata drove in two runs and pitcher Stephanie Ricketts held the Spartans to three hits as the No. 11/13 Rainbow Wahine (44-5) advanced in the winner’s bracket.

    thanks for the awesome pic of Masch’s helmet. Boy, that has gotta be one heck of a feeling for a young man to see huh?


  123. mauiwarrior May 10, 2012 2:13 pm

    @ST. Comment 31. Thx for the response, so all players have a smart phone, laptop or ipad provided to them? Or do they just use what is available to them through their own resources?


  124. Stephen Tsai May 10, 2012 2:39 pm

    Players buy their own. You can’t be in college without a laptop or smart phone. Or a player can always go to the office and watch videos. They can do that in the Verizon room, too.


  125. RedZone May 10, 2012 2:46 pm

    I used to enjoy watching Mosiula Tatupu run over players. I found a video of the ILH Championship game in 1973. I was at that game.

    Final – BYU beat LaTech 6-1 and so we will play BYU tomorrow.


  129. madeinhawaii May 10, 2012 4:08 pm

    The BYU game tomorrow worries me some. Hope our Wahine bats are alive and well tomorrow.


  130. d1shima May 10, 2012 4:11 pm

    Great Afternoon All!

    Nice to read about Shane Austin’s football rebirth.

    Cool pic of the Masch hat


  131. d1shima May 10, 2012 4:18 pm

    Speaking of helmets….

    Just back from a convention In LV where Mike Ditka gave the keynote address.

    During the Q & A the subject of head injuries and long-term effects came up. He said, when he played he wore a plastic helmet with a little webbing in it. In contrast, today’s helmets are so sophisticated that they really give the player a sense of invincibility that promotes using the head as a weapon.

    He concluded that is not a good thing in a collision (not contact) sport.


  132. Da Punchbowl Kid May 10, 2012 4:19 pm

    Ballpicker was a multi sport threat for the Warriors in the day.


  133. d1shima May 10, 2012 4:20 pm

    Along those lines, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Iron Mike having a more diminished role in future NFL analysis TV shows. He admitted to worsening memory issues and at times seemed to be somewhat rambling on stage.


  134. slenzi May 10, 2012 4:39 pm

    Roman Harper -NO Saints, DB- is hosting an celeb flag football fundraiser game in Tuscaloosa, Alabama this Saturday. Expect many present and former Alabama and Auburn and NFL players to show up. Fans welcome; autpgraphs welcome.

    Shane Austin’s mom and dad were super duper Warrior and Shane supporters!

    good luck Shane! go get em, Warrior! make us proud samoa!


  136. koakane May 10, 2012 6:18 pm

    Waiakea beat Pearl City 2-1, waiting for Baldwin vs Hilo to start.

    good evening all


  137. oldtimer808 May 10, 2012 6:28 pm

    I think our Rainbow Wahines will be on their game tomorrow against BYU. The delay probably affected their mojo but getting that one game under their belts will do wonders for them tomorrow.


  138. UKU@LA May 10, 2012 6:40 pm

    Mr. Kekoa, thats a roger! Be there! Howzit! UKU !!


  139. kama krab May 10, 2012 7:16 pm

    Howzit Everybody,

    Al, Punahou this season really never had an ace. Torigoe was one of there better pitchers and a very solid choice to start against Hilo. If was me would have gone with Bob Coolen’s boy then Nathan Higa but oh well. Muenster really has not been the ace for a while.


  140. kama krab May 10, 2012 7:22 pm

    But what gave me great joy was when Hilo ended Kailua’s season last night. I have no respect for that Coach out there in Kailua. What comes around goes around. Brother got beat at his own game.


  141. koakane May 10, 2012 7:36 pm

    Baldwin up 5-1 after 3

    al confirming kama’s comments and other birdies says same

    Hawai’i and BYU face off Friday at 2 pm MT, with the winner advancing to Saturday’s championship. Loser faces team TBA Fri., 7

    Oceanic TV will televise the Na Wahine game.

    Margie Wright will be coaching her 2000 game of her career tomorrow against the winner of the La Tech Nevada game. Quite a career in softball annals.

    A friend told me earlier this evening that he booked a flight to HNL on “Hawaii’s airline” to attend tomorrow night’s baseball final. He said he’s paying 170 bucks for a ONE WAY ticket! He claims that is why the neighbor island attendance is low in numbers, especially in this situation with neighbor island teams in the final.


  154. al May 11, 2012 12:23 am

    hilo moon…i just checked and fri/sat a lot of flights from $96. a couple of the flts are at a premium rate 170+, but, those are the commuter flt hours when traffic is highest and is like that every day for last minute bookings.

  164. Shoko May 11, 2012 4:53 am

    If wanted to buy a player a laptop or smartphone, would that be an NCAA violation? And if so, how would they find out, unless they spilled the beans themselves.


  165. Kendall Rybka May 11, 2012 5:05 am

    Hi guys, I was wanting to know if any of you are yet to have any problems with your scooter? I’m thinking of investing in one from Direct Bikes and I would like to know if it’s lasted you from when you first bought it until today with no major problems? Please reply if you have the time! Cheers


  166. escort bayan May 11, 2012 5:12 am

    thank you for all your efforts that you have put in this. Very interesting info. “Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.” by Clive Staples Lewis.


  167. Pomai May 11, 2012 5:15 am

    #165 Shoko – yes that would be a NCAA violation, and they would find out they always do somehow. You can not give anything to a student athlete that the other non-athlete’s do not get. There are very strict on how you can interact with student athlete’s.

    example – it’s late at night right after a game at RWSS and your going home and you see one of the girls walking to the locker rooms, it’s dark and she is by herself so you offer her a ride to the locker room just to make sure she is safe – it is a NCAA violation. Kind of ridiculous yeah, but that’s the no clue at all for you bit their explanation is that you are providing the student athlete benefits that the other students don’t have.


  168. BigHiloFan2 May 11, 2012 5:26 am

    Pomai

    im guessing its all in how you phrase it. giving her a ride is a benefit. 😀

    saving her, rescuing her, from the rain, terrorist, stalker, yada yada, is not a benefit. 😀

    kinda like how they pay for Barkley to go on a mission to Haiti and not take da hole USC student body.

    den again, i wouldn’t have a clue how to give a laptop to a specific player and make dan one legit.
