ROKU BAN!

Top Ten, baby! Been awhile. Congratulations to Kamalani!

top 10

good evening or good morning, just be good

what’s happening tsaiko brothers? i am protecting the natives from the tourists in lovely waikiki, and decided to drop in

st louis, home of the manicured field turf, haha

like as in ‘oh well…..’, same guy who manicured it is still watering it twice a week 🙁

al,

thanks for the email about putting mrs bulla on the list, but it won’t happen, she’s too busy to partake in our frivolity

not doing too good, need some toootoring 🙂

the other night at Genjis, i was sitting to one big-body guy, no not RK….our very own james…..

ventura hwy came on and mrs bulla said, ‘hey, mr. america, it’s your turn’ i tell you, those Monarchs aren’t all they’re fluffed up to be,

ok, since i’ll be on a plane tonight, i’ll set my quarterly quota in one sitting this morning

G’mornin Bulla! Insane is as insane, um, posts.

Sorry, had to interrupt you before you broke one of Garret’s freeplay records for most consecutive posts…

shoot mike,

wish i knew you were lurking, i would have never started, haha

glad to know there are normal people sleeping, not having to be the nocturnal urinal for the rest of the world

now where’d he go? just when i was rolling, bruddah mike throws the ohia log in the tracks, buckaloose da runaway train, and den Esme like moves……wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee,

it’s all good, i am practicing my mavis bacon video…..’Typing with the Pro’s’, and it’s not going well. dpk, on the other hand is a liberace virtuoso on the keyboard….just like a menehune on crack

ooooops,

gotta roll, will check back in, gotta make like a ref, got a call about a domestic on the 22nd floor, don’t need no Batman action over the edge

esme out….whoooooooooooooooosh

Exit Bulla. Cue the crickets.

Sheesh! Noisy neighbors are the pits! Always think it’s someone else. Where’s my Slippah!

Wet morning all!

Dang. We are now over 5″ ahead in rainfall for November but still a bunch of inches short for the year. Now it would only fall as snow in the mountains we will not have to worry about water over the summer.

No way I am going to get anywhere near close to the Bulla-meister in number of posts.

Looks like the US auto makers are going under. Even more unemployed people. I wonder if this administration will raise the budget for social services or leave it as another problem for the next bunch of administrations.

stop

is it my turn?

no, not that one.
the lava tubes!

my smoke detector is pinging, but I took the battery out, still yet

about 15 years ago, my buddies ordered squid tempura at one local bar, when it came, had one bambucha cockaroach freshly cooked inside

just walking by

Alright Kahuku….Welcome Alo….to the Warrior Nation !

Welcome to the Warriors Kamalani Alo!

Article about Idaho’s lack of depth…that should be good for the Warriors, especially as the game goes along.

UI’s depleted secondary and an injury to Eddie Williams, perhaps the team’s best athlete, provided proof positive Saturday that the Great Vandal Rebuilding Project is still far from complete. As usual, undisciplined play was a major contributor, too.

UI racked up more penalties and penalty yards than TTFB, but the real story was the timing of them. The Vandals continued their uncanny knack for stupid miscues and/or unruly behavior in the most inopportune moments.

TTFB turned the ball over once. On the flip side, UI did it up right, losing a fumble that was run back for a touchdown and throwing two interceptions in its own territory. Now THAT’S how to ruin momentum. I hope football teams everywhere are taking notes.

A 79-yard punt return for a touchdown by Kyle Wilson gave TTFB its first lead and broke UI’s spirits — an easy thing to do to this fragile, oft-ridiculed bunch. Perhaps most demoralizing was that the Vandals had ample opportunities to tackle Wilson, if not for the impromptu “poor tackling clinic” they graciously put on. How nice of them to show their opponents what not to do.

With their best defensive player, safety Shiloh Keo, out for the season with an injury and their two starting cornerbacks suspended, UI’s secondary was a disaster waiting to happen. The coaches on both sides knew it, so one can only imagine how Vandal head coach Robb Akey and his assistants felt trying to prepare a game plan to stop a team that leans heavily on its creative, super-efficient air attack. Talk about a horror movie waiting to be written.

Quote from Bess about the importance of chemistry on offense.

“Without chemistry, it’s impossible to go out and perform at a high level in any circumstances when it comes to the passing game,” receiver Davone Bess said. “The quarterback has to understand you, from your speed, to your catching ability, down to knowing what you’re thinking inside-out, and vice versa.”

Another article about Bess’ return stats this season.

Bess, a rookie from Hawaii, is ranked 22nd in the NFL with a 22.2-yard average on 16 returns, with a long of 32 yards. Ginn is 37th out of 38 with a 20.8 average and a long of 41 yards.

Morning all,

Congrats to Alo!, welcome to the WARRIOR ohana. BTW, Is he going to greyshirt?

RE: Tonga – Its been rumored that he has been offered by UCLA….per manti’s dad on sports hawaii

COLT WATCH!

by Travis Evans (Contributor)

November 17, 2008
NFL, Jason Campbell, Colt Brennan, Preview/Prediction

This is my second article about Brennan and Campbell. Campbell has made me sway his way a little more, but Brennan holds the advantage 67 percent—33 percent over Campbell.
Brennan
1. Was the top or second QB in draft but then had a bad game vs. Georgia, who just publicly stated the objective was to GET BRENNAN.
2. I think Brennan will flourish under this offense because of his timing and release.
3. He is more mobile and isn’t afraid to try and fit the ball into that tight spot. (All great QBs have had this attribute.)
4. The comparisons to the greats are what Brennan got but Campbell has got zip, zodda, zilch.
5. Broke record.
6. Preseason may just be practice but that spiral…ugh I was drooling.
7. Reminds me of a no dog fighting Mike Vick.
8. THE MOST ACCURATE QB IN THE COMBINE IN RECENT YEARS ONLY MISSED ONE PASS AND IT WAS A DROP
Campbell
1. Had an OK year so far but just hasn’t proven to me he is the future.
2. He can’t throw the deep ball for anything. Moss had a sure TD but it was under thrown and he had to adjust or drop it.
3. Less mobile and slower thinker.
4. May have a stronger arm.
5. Has chemistry.
6. Zorn is the ingredient to success, not him.

Therefore I give the advantage to Brennan. Plus it may have been preseason, but in the near future you will hear Brennan to Moss for a TD/ Brennan to Thomas/Kelly for TD.

Congrats to Kahuku’s Coaches, another D-1 player!

Good Morning Tsaiko-land! Hope everyone has a great day!

Aloha Kakahiaka!

Ho’omaikai to Kamalani Alo!

MsLiz, mahalo for the Colt article.

Bulla & Mrs. Bulla, safe travels to UT. Hope Da Beast has a great game.

helloooo, las vegas!

liz – email sent. gracias.

good morning tsai-ko kane’s and wahine’s what a sunny, chilly morning it is. hope you all stay fine.

the children don’t seem to mind they just run and jump all over da place and dey no need kope. we should be so energetic at this time of the morning

take care bulla think there was a witching moon out last night so some of the crazies were out.

kden gotta esme just came in office to warm up and refill the cup. so as they say one cup of kope then I am gone. whooshhhhhhhhhhhhhh

for all you peeps that thought about goin to the bj/gsp press conference tomorrow, been moved to the blaisdell rather than the shell cuz of the rain. hope the rain at least subsides for a little come saturday nite

hehe mih. found it on youtube, but it wasn’t listed under “kamalani alo”. i think it was “kamalani kahuku”

hey bulla,

do you train high school athletes at enchanted lakes during the week? if so, what’s that all about?

I was watching the Oct. Kahuku vs. Farrington regular season game on the OC16 sports website and it looks like Alo has good speed and quickness off the edge. He is also adept at man coverage. Yep, he’d be a good SS or OLB.

GO WARRIORS

GO WAHINE VB

Speaking of Bulla, have a safe and enjoyable trip! Lyn too!

I wonder if it pours rain this Saturday will it be the equalizer? The Warriors RB corps are thin. Can they sustain a running game?

Anyone into SUP? Anyone in the paddleboard industry?

It’s been a couple of weeks since I last saw a Tsaiko, I wonder if any of them lost or gained weight and are unrecognizable?

Just in case, to prevent duplicates, I’m bringing fried saimin (fried noodles) from Mililani Restaurant this Saturday. I think it’s something Rob25 can eat.

so when u going to announce the RB verbal?

Damn! String broken! 😡

Ooooo…thanks homester! I like fried saimin! All noodles are good! I don’t have to worry about some weird animal part.

I’m bringing lasagna!

cheepono, #92

no, that’s not me at enchanted lakes, but i heard of someone doing some NIKE SPARQ training over there.

SPARQ has some good techniques and great ideas. they have a free website, just google nike sparq and see what happens. i thing that person charges a fee for their services; i’d recommend doing the website first and see what it’s all about

Homey more than made up for his prolonged absence with all his posts this morning. 😀 😛

:oops Hi Rob25!

is the rb GABE TUATA?

Hi jm2375!

Ralph…I hope that there are people going to VB! 😆

to all the tsaiko ohana,

mahalo for the kind words and good wishes; whew, i think my middle name should be Delta by now…..what the heck, you only go once…..let it ride.

final season game, a big win would be nothing short of awesome for the Wildcats, but here’s a story only a father would appreciate, and a nutz one like me at that.

Coach: hey bulla, did ryan talk to you about his shoulder?
Bulla: yeah, he said he heard a little pop and went to see the trainer.

Coach: well, that pop he heard was his left shoulder separating at practice…..
Bulla: how bad is it?
Coach: not bad, we put it back in place and he’ll be fine by game time

Bulla: So what did ryan tell you about the shoulder coach?
Coach: your son is nutz, he told me the trainer said that he separated his left shoulder….but he told the trainer ‘i still have my right one though….right?’

Bulla: that’s my son, he has a high threshold for pain, it scares me
Coach: i know, the trainer said he could still do the rotation exercises with the shoulder separated, and when asked if it hurt, Ryan told the trainer, ‘pain is a concept of the mind, and i am not allowing myself to think of pain right now….’ so the trainer told him if it felt weird, and ryan told the trainer, ‘if i say it feels weird, will you keep me out of the game on Saturday?’

Coach: the trainer got pissed and said, ‘Eastman, you separated your shoulder, now let’s get to work on it, and no i won’t keep you out of the game on saturday

Ryan: thanks, i don’t have to use my left side, i can favor my right and still play if i have to….and can i get 2 cortisone shots, i don’t want to feel anything til after the game…shoot man, it’s history!!!

now that was funny.

Good Afternoon Tsaikos!!

How come no more practice report today??

Stretch…he has to be at practice to give a report.

I bet he had detention for getting his son to school late…again!

Great Day All!

Good news keeps coming in about the future of Warrior football. 🙂

Bulla,
Great story. I can well imagine Ryan saying those things.
Having watched him battle in the trenches since Frosh Football, it always amazes me how he keeps battling from kick-off thru final whistle. The Timex Man! (Don’t think the young ‘uns will understand that one.)

I hope both of you enjoy your trip. We’re envious, although the good news for us is that #2 son comes back in 4 days! 😀
Safe passage; see you when you get back!

GO WARRIORS!
GO WILDCATS! (X2)

Homes ~ A Korean friend once made us some Oyster Kim Chee. I’m still trying to find someone who can duplicate that recipe. The raw oyster poke you brought to the t-gate was the closest I’ve tasted to date.

Betty?…Is there a chance you would know?

Kekoa

will jojo actually show up, you know it’s supposed to be rainy on saturday.

How’s Pops doing?

I sure hope that he is feeling better! Give him a big hug and kiss for me! Love seeing him at the tailgates and games!

Rob25:

If Russell is SOOOOOOOOO negative about UH, will we see a replacement for him next year? Maybe, he should apply for a position with the MWC.

I cannot phantom UH asking K-5 to keep him on the job. Didn’t this happen to another sports person who did something some time back?

The Dallas Morning News seems to think like ST about who the MWC would invite to join them.

Seems like the Mountain West Conference would like nothing more than to add a 10th team to enhance its growing reputation as a football powerhouse.

Boise State, home of the Smurf Turf, is being touted as a logical choice because of geography and its status as one of college football’s top teams. A Fiesta Bowl victory over Oklahoma in 2007 vaulted the Broncos into the national consciousness.

Yet SMU, believe it or not, is also being thrown in the expansion mix, largely due to its proximity to TCU and of course, being in the fifth largest TV market in the nation.

Interesting that BSU has done very well against the top of the MWC. They are undefeated against BYU (I wish UH could say that!) and Utah only beat them when BSU was in D-IAA.

A couple of thoughts on this:
First, adding Boise St. is only a benefit from a competitive standpoint. They bring nothing in terms of a TV market (well below 100) and little to nothing in terms of recruiting. (When was the last time a blue chipper came out of Idaho). These are both thing’s that TCU DID bring to the Mountain West, which is why some believe SMU would be the next logical choice. Can’t get enough of those Texas school.

Second, say what you want about their competition level, but the fact is, they have owned BYU and Utah in football. The Cougars and Utes are a combined 2-6 vs. the Broncos! BYU has never beat them, and the Utes only beat them twice way back in the 80’s.

Sure, off the field the only thing they bring to the Mountain West is potatoes, but on the field? The Mountain West would have 2 of the three teams that have busted into the BCS.

A-House

Maybe I am too much of a homer. I don’t think that the local sports people have to always shine a positive light on UH, I just think that they don’t always have to knock them…just like people do the Dept of Ed in this state.

I always feel like a student is going to be successful wherever they are based on their desire and work to do well in school. Yes, there are other factors like opportunities and facilities, etc but many students flourish under less than ideal circumstances.

UH is not a bad school and too many local people are always disrespecting it. UH has many wonderful graduates. Too bad more of them don’t support the athletic programs.

OK, I’m stepping off the box. It was just that Russell seems to sound like Jeff Portnoy at times.

Oh good! I’ll bring pig head!</blockquote.

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth!

Thanks homey!

And Stretch…you need to stop encouraging him.

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth!

Lucky you, you get to eat lunch twice.

koakane,
What kind of beeru do you drink?

I think he is busy playing with the kids so I will answer. “cold”

MeiLing…

Koakane drinks the kind that comes in bottles! Nah!

He probably isn’t lurking because AT&T decided to SUCK today. They better reimburse me! They can make a donation to the athletic department on my behalf…just like Oceanic.

thanks for a little hint tsai.

koakane,

What kind of beeru do you drink?

Wet.

One of these days I hope to make it to practice with sj & myki. They are hardcore!!

So I see the Punahou QB is available.

sj and myki are my Avery informants.

sj was getting into the game on Monday night/Tuesday morning. OK, it was really Tuesday morning.

Another good thing is that myki brings snacks and she shares with everyone. Thanks myki!

Wooooohoooo……….
Good size for a strong safety. I think UH has also taken care of special teams in the future.

Good to see the amount of players representing a lot of local high schools on the team.

I am still waiting on that big time running back. I think the best running back coming out of high schools this year is Manti Te’o.

Rob##,

Another good thing is that myki brings snacks and she shares with everyone. Thanks myki!

Nark! 😆

I need binoculars so that I can check out the recruits this weekend!

I’m gonna start soaking my jelly beans.

homey,

http://www.angulodesigns.com/

I play golf with Ed. Need a board?

Does WarriorMojo sing country, too?

Rob25,

I need binoculars so that I can check out the recruits this weekend!

That wouldn’t be a commentary on the size of the recruits, would it?

duffer – Just saw some of the prices… 😯

RE: Newly available QB

So if it really is the one that committed to NM, what you think he going do now? Walk-on to UH or go DII?

Wait, I smell Da Weasel and Chow…………………………….=)

D1Shima: I would not be surprised, just look at some of the HS players that have offered. The teammate(s) and his neighbors of the 4th ranked HS prospect in the country. They do have possible D1 skills, but it just smells fishy to me…/shrug Ima a WARRIOR HOMER…sorry.

Now I know some may feel that I am looking into things too much, but this kind of recruiting happens all the time. Look at how many prospects that UH recruits too. A lot of them from the same team and or a relative somehow connected to UH. D1 football is a BUSINESS, plain and simple. Coaches don’t get hired for the amount of players that they graduate, they get hired for how many wins and accolades they can get. You get the players any way you can and all the whole try to make yourself look wholesome….sad, but true.

#23 Miami playing Paul Johnson’s Georgia Tech on ESPN. First quarter. No score.

Georgia Tech 3, Miami 0. First quarter. 5:53.
Watching the game on my computer, but I have to re-write my notes from a training session this morning. Trouble is, I can’t read some of my writing. Trying to write my notes and watching the game is making my notes kapakahi.

mad dog

don’t get the two confused and put the score from the game in your notes.

I wonder if the potential RB recruit is from California?

Hmmm, can I get to 200 by myself?

They played a great game last season.

Homey

what no work today.

could happen, but will it cost us .5 mil?

homey

got you, I doing the same thing this week.

whatever happened to the safety recruit from LB

homey…..bball needs to play more three man or triangle offense. our 3-4-5 guys could out quick most teams i think.

it is obvious we didn’t recruit any pure shooters. our best outside shot is our center.

farfetched but, maybe their best shooter is beau albrechtson of kaimuki.

Mad Dog

yeah and GT tries an onside kick that Miami recovers for good field pos.

Well GT just int Miami again.

al – Lakers offense? No use be quick if you can’t beat your man off of the dribble drive.

takoboy – Alo does line up like an outside linebacker on the line of scrimmage on most plays. In the spread he covers the slotback.

Mad Dog – Yeah, I’d like to see Nevada run wild over Boise.

thanx guyz will bring da binocs this weekend, hope to see mckay, GDL, and Tepa on the field, and hope even more for good news next week from them. do we have a recruit from cottonwood…

is there any substance to the hasiak rumors?
i mean it’s one thing that he possibly de-committed from ucla…

but if i recall correctly, we were never in the running for his service. i would be ecstatic if we did land him, but at the same time i can’t remember a time when we were even a consideration.

cheepono – Hasiak is a very good player. If he changes his mind and becomes a Warrior more power to him. If not, then good luck to him at his future school.

I was too preoccupied with my notes (“what the heck did I write? Now I know why my mother always criticized my poor penmanship.”) that I didn’t notice the score. Georgia Tech 24, Miami 3 Second quarter 1:59

thanks ST. i knew i couldn’t wait until next week.

would one of those olinemen and one of those defensive persons have at least one same initial?

i am thinking running back but now two makes it interesting. if we were after only one yes for sure the aforementioned. now two, so that means that here is one who you just can’t pass up because he is soooo good.

….(smack, smack, smack….as in licking my chops)

URGENT – IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED

FLOOD WATCH

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI

349 AM HST THU NOV 20 2008

..HEAVY RAIN LIKELY TO SPREAD ACROSS THE STATE OF HAWAII FROM

THE SOUTHEAST…

.BY LATE TONIGHT…SOUTHEASTERLY WIND WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE

MAIN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS…BRINGING WITH THEM A MOIST AIR MASS FROM

THE DEEP TROPICS. AT THE SAME TIME…A COLD LOW IN THE MIDDLE

ATMOSPHERE WILL MOVE TO A POSITION WEST OF THE STATE. TOGETHER…

THESE EVENTS WILL DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE..LEADING TO PERIODS

OF HEAVY RAIN.

Just bring plenty dry clothes, towels, and make sure we get da hot soup after da game…no big deal over a little warm rain.

al – but Nitoto isn’t a true point guard and he shoots pretty well. If only we could get Sasha to be under control and pass better. I like his energy though. Once Hiram gets healthy and in playing shape I would like to see Nitoto move back to his more natural position.

I agree about taking the game inside. They shoot free throws okay which is why I think that they need to be inside. I see a lot of standing around when they are on offense and nobody boxing out when they are under the basket. The rebounding was almost nonexistent a lot of the time.

okay…..i agree that a healthy hiram thompson may be the answer at point guard. sasha plays hard, but, the point needs to play error free and have great court vision. nitoto was recruited as point guard. he will score more from driving the lane (under control) then anything else.

just my opinion though.

cheepono….i think one of the two defensive players is a cb.

it will be more interesting to see how we juggle all these recruits. seems like we may go over the limit, which will mean a couple of greyshirts. which for some would do them well. i always thought that if jc guy can come in and greyshirt or come in early as in december then they would have a spring under their belt to adjust to the bigger campus, academics, and speed of the game.

two more weekends and we should have them all under the roof.

Time for me to sneak away from work to get my wife a birthday present. Last update from me: Georgia Tech 34, Miami 10 Third quarter 4:08

Miami is having a difficult time stopping Paul Johnson’s spread option attack. Georgia Tech has over 360 yards rushing so far. To be a success, the spread option requires a good defense to hold down the opposition. Georgia Tech’s defense is harassing the Miami QB enough to affect their passing game.

who’s the miami qb? marve?

i don’t get it with miami, notre dame, washington, et al. they recruit year after year the best players and yet……..

Hmmm …members on SportsHawaii say that Gary Dickman on his Animals show yesterday said that his source tells him that Stan withdrew his soft verbal from UCLA.

What does that suggest? Can we be hopeful?

ST….

Is one of the JC Olinemen from Cali…specifically from the OC?….who’s a bounceback from another WAC school?

Mahalo!!!

Hiya.
Homey- I always wanted to try pig head. I see them in the store but didn’t know how to cook them right. The good one is the cow milk gut too I forget the Filipino name… Pulehu dat one. ONO!
OK. time to head home.

Oh- looks like we may have to bring our rubber boots to the T-gate and game, eh?

brew808,

Will there be enough grub on the athletes tables to feed those guys? jeeze. I think we might need an even taller quarterback with those guys blocking

There’s also a wideout from, let’s say, the middle of the country.

So…. is AZ or CO considered “middle of the country”? Or does it have to be Kansas? 😕 😯 😆

or Texas…. 😀

i wonder why we never kept recruiting blinn college? or navarro. there were a couple of awesome studs there this year.

Didn’t Theliar commit to Florida International? Why? That’s another question!

Edgard Theliar, Butler County (KS), El Dorado, KS. 6-3/190 🙄

verbal really don’t mean a thing. but, i was hinting at his teammate.

http://hawaii.scout.com/a.z?s=219&p=8&c=1&nid=3833319

They need to get rid of the stand around and watch Nitoto dribble offense.

ST:

Are you under a “gag order” from Coach Mack not to reveal the names of any recruit who will be visiting UH this weekend?

Sure sounds like it with all the generalities you are feeding us so we go crazy with anticipation.

Some day, tell Pauoa Boy and me why UH did not recruit Pauoa Boy’s neighbor across the street or did he not want to come to UH?

With your OL comments, it appears that the Kapolei player is not included in the mix.

WR from middle of the country sounds like a Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska or Missouri land player. Or, are you saying middle of Oahu?

Can you tell us “how good he is” without breaking your promise to Coach Mack? No names, initials, etc. Just facts, thank you!

A-house,

I was thinking “middle of the country” could be Waimanalo? 🙂

speaking of…wea stay G’nalo?

d1:

Who’s from Waimanalo?

Yea, where is G’nalo and Bighilofan2? You guys OK, but very busy and in good health?

BHF2 – will you and Mrs be joining us for any of the last 3 tailgates? Always nice to see/chat with you.

ahouse

just go walk down the street with a pot of beef curry and get the scoops from yer neighbor.

d1….i hope she doesn’t go off fuming. ova hea she go flipping as in “out” if we no listen.

I wanted to be a meteorologist when I was little because we’d always go to Kilgo’s, and I’d pick up hurricane preparedness materials there. I’d track all the hurricanes that they’d show on the news. 😀

It’s going to be a bummer for all the recruits if they go to the game on Saturday and it’s raining the whole time. Hopefully they will come up to the seats and I can check them out.

Stretch:

Maybe UH will provide them panchos to keep dry.

But, you right, it would be bummers, but it’s better than 15 degrees and snow.

no more football tv news tonight for some reason.

My Grandma thought Guy Hagi was a good looking man … which was disturbing to hear from my Grandma.

I like Trini Kaopuiki. 😀

Tsaiko Nation ~ Is it raining at your location right now?

~ Central Oahu?
~ Eastside?

No. 😆

eastside is dry right now.

not looking forward to the plane ride tomorrow morning. it gets a little bumpy riding through the rain and makes it hard to drink coffee and read the Advertiser.

I really respect Chad Pennington’s work ethic, and how he gets his teammates on offense to work hard too.

For those wondering if rookie quarterback Chad Henne and second-year vet John Beck are paying attention, let me calm your anxiety and reveal that they are.

Beck said he and Henne actually get homework assignments from Pennington and gladly break down whatever game film he asks for.

I’ve heard of players-only meetings, but that usually happens when a team is facing some kind of drama, and needs to air it out privately. But Pennington holds them weekly, THREE TIMES A WEEK, for at least an hour a session.

The offensive players say it’s those meetings which have transformed the offense, allowing the Dolphins to become one of the NFL’s most efficient offenses this season. Believe it or not, the Dolphins are ranked 8th in total yards, and 7th in yards per play.

“He asks us what are we looking at. We give him feedback,” receiver Davone Bess said. ” ‘What do you like, what do you see, how are you running this route.’ Then he tells us his side, what he thinks we should do. It’s give and take.”

List of things that are banned…I hope that if the names get out of the recruits attending UH games that Warrior fans don’t do any of these things!

Signs, videos and messages over a public address system or printed T-shirts are among other no-nos as they relate to advertising a recruit’s visit to campus. There is only so much Notre Dame can control, however, and Karwoski indicated a mass banishment of anyone wearing a Hawaiian shirt is unlikely to occur.

No rain in Salt Lake.

I’m really sleepy. I haven’t recovered from Monday night’s game. It threw me off this whole week.

brew808,

I don’t know if there will be any time for a gathering. The Tsaikos are going to be worn out between the two tailgates, the karaoke call, and the normal family things for Thanksgiving. So, it is my understanding that the timing doesn’t work out.

It is probably for the best because 23-28 is such a short time and the two grandmothers have been planning for who will get the grandchildren (and Lori and me) to feed for dinner and which house we’ll be sleeping at. With just 5 nights, they really plan to cram a lot of activities (and FOOD) into each day…and I can’t break away too easily.

I could get to a lunch, but I think everyone is going to be too busy so that won’t work out I think.

Kekoa

no rain yet in the town area.

There’s the Na Koa lunch on Monday…. 😀

brew808,

That is a GREAT idea…I think I’ll make it to that. Now, I’ve got to figure out which set of grandparents have us that day and what they are doing. Hopefully the plan won’t be to go to the beach that day, since I’m the lifeguard for my kids.

I’ll work hard on it, though…I need to be able to go to the Na Koa lunch!

The Willows is just “down the road” from campus. Sounds like a full work day…. 😆

Hey – at least there would be one engineer actually working…. 😀 😯 😆

lots of empty seats in the SSC

OK from earlier today,

folks talking about bringing binoculars fo’ spok da recruits…
How come?
What you can tell from 200 yards away with the guy in street clothes?
If you see him, will you know him? Especially if Stephen didn’t even tell you who “he” is?
And if you spot him, den wat?
Wave at him? Again from 200 yards away?

Help me out here, please….

As I suspected!

madeinhawaii,

I loved going to Showtime (Lakers) games at the Forum, and one thing I never stopped being amused about is how they would rent binoculars. During the game, I never saw people using those binoculars to focus on Magic, Kareem, or the rest of the players. However, during timeouts when the Laker Girls would perform, *all* of those binoculars would be immediately and coincidentally used…

I’ve finally finished e-mailing the 50+ people that I met at MILCOM who were in a position at their companies to work with my company as a partner/collaborator/customer. I’m so glad that is over!

Technically, yes, although the term is colloquially used in reference to females (although, usually in reference to females at formerly all-male schools). I understand ICS majors don’t have a tremendous grasp of the English language, though, so I’ll let your comment slide …

jm2375

I didn’t bother to try and figure it out but at a glance it all looks like squares of some primary numbers… Den again… whadoeyeknow?

jm2375,

Didn’t Jason say the “odd” numbers were the puzzle? Nothing said of the even numbers.. though they may have a relationship to the odd ones. Eh… Even the even numbers look odd anyway. Which is kind of odd, even. Hmmm…

Coach mac u da man!! good job.

night all..

good night mih. I wonder if the storm pakn some waves.maybe i can go surf. New name “1surfahkuttahwaves” .If not then ahhhh no can.

Thanks everyone for the weather reports around the corner and up your street!

Strange thing is…whenever weather people predict gloom and doom, they make it sound so immediate. They get people all worked up. Remember when the weather person on all the local stations was also the news anchor?

Now we get Doppler radar and satellite imagery. Whiz bang technology and 7 day forecasts. If you really like know, change da station to the weather channel…or do what I did and ask the Tsaiko Ohana. Not only did I get an adequate update of the weather around our island, but also the mainland Tsaiko’s sent in their local report – Mahalo!

I, for one, think we should go back to the 2 minute overlay of the weather forecast on all the network stations. They could then spend more of the prime time on sports news. All of our sportscasters have to talk so fast now. They end up blasting the news at us so fast you have to rewind to make any sense of what Rob Demello just said!

RK is the exception. He keeps his report so mellow and low key with his auto-focus “I hope you’re having yourself a wonderful evening/life” monotone. He’s cool, and deserves more time to expand on his favorite subject.

Yes, it’s seems that it is clearly the calm before the storm. I do hope everyone took precautions to batten the hatches and prepare for another wet, wild, wonderful football game at the stadium!

G’night everyone…and Garret…I hope to see you at the Na Koa Luncheon on Monday!…and Brew…keep those cards and letters coming in!

With all the weather warnings out now… gameday will probably be lovely!
Nitey nite and sweet Warrior Dreams!

Looks like the storm front from the northwest has dissipated and any rain that we will get is coming from the tropical front from the south/southwest.

Alooooooooohaaaa!

Happy Aloha Friday everyone!

Whoo-hoo!!!

News story about SPAM!

An increase in the production and sales of Spam across the nation. Possibly attributed to harder financial times.

As one of the local newscasters said this morning, “That means Hawai’i has always been ahead of the curve in terms of finances or they just like their Spam.”

Wafan

re spam, it’s both.

Karl Benson is going to be on 1420 from 8-9 this morning, taking phone calls. I wonder if people going be nice to him or give him the tough questions that will make him uncomfortable??

I wonder if someone will ask him about Benson State University and his plan if they leave.

jm2375- clouds are thick and the tv is working! 😆

I shut all the windows last night and had a difficult time sleeping as it was too dang quiet. And whaddayaknow? no rain.

Which is good, though. I was expecting power outages all day in Kaneohe.

Blog Clock is now 24 minutes ahead of the curve.

Good morning folks,

Hope all is fine and well. Its my saturday and the woman is sleeping still so I can blog and play my on-line game hehee…anyway..

One question about incoming recruits….wasn’t there a friend of Malcolm lane that said he too might/will join the team? IIRC it was around the week of the NMSU game. Is he really coming to UHM and if he is, scholie offer? walk-on?

Good Morning Tsaikoville! I hope everyone stays dry in Hawaii. I’m happy the sun is shinning here, even though it’s in the mid 30’s right now.
As far as recruits go, like I said before, I’ll get excited on LOI day.

Good Morning Tsaiko Land Lubbers!

Benson and Hedges. Remember that cigarret brand? Kinda fits present company…Benson, who also Hedges. Especially around WAC hard ball questions.

Who ever gets thru on the phone today should also ask about the WACky Officials. We’ve all seen Pop Warner officials do a better job! Ask him when they are going to hold these people accountable for the BS calls that are captured on video that makes us all want to string ’em up!

Thanks al.

morning tsai-ko kane’s and wahine’s sun out and no rain drops in sight. all my kekei’s in the compound safely. will see how the day develops but praying it stays this way.

congrats to vball wahines on their victory last night. 😉 kinda nervous watching third set when they were down 7-0.

Hmm, I thought this was an interesting quote from Stephen’s article, considering what we’ve discussed in the past:

McMackin used the possibility of rain to note the new apparel deal the UH athletic department and UnderArmour signed in the spring.

“Shoot, we’ve got the best cleats in the world,” McMackin said, smiling. “Why are we worried?”

Jason…

What kine math problem is dat?

That’s why he was “smiling” making that comment.

thx bb, any word on packages linking seattle/pullman and vegas

sure sounds like its pretty guaranteed we’re playing in seattle and wanna jump on those prices ASAP

No word yet on pullman/vegas

and athe OMNI flights are closer to 900 now.

there are going to be a lot less seats going up to vegas with ATA and Aloha gone and it seems that Hawaiian knows this fact as well with their HNL-LAS pricing for that week.

One more closer to the Hawaii Bowl

To me, that’s BS. They are ripping off the people of Hawaii because they know that people will be going to the game. To their credit, they brought the fares down a little but still higher than normal. I understand they are in business to make money but I wish they would be fair to everyone. Their plane is going to be full and they will make money if they charge their regular fare.
