Happy Bday Ronnie!

Good Morning Tsai-kos!

Good Morning ST!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RONNIE!!!! 🙂

morning gang!

top ten?
was playing by myself on the other side 🙂

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RONNIE!

Aloha Kakahiaka!

HAUOLI LAHANAU, RONNIE!!!

Victory is measured in territory gained, in how well one unit outmaneuvers the other. The game involves brute strength and keen physicality; it is a hand to hand, helmet to helmet fight, one man struggling against another. And yet at the same time, finesse, agility, and brilliant strategy are requisites for success and a team lives or dies solely on how well they work together as a team, as a unit.

This is a very positive article about Moniz.

I thought Bryant Moniz had a very promising performance and he may very well become the next great QB in green. He rivaled another sophomore’s performance who eventually became the most acclaimed athlete to come out of the program – Colt Brennan.

QB coach Nick Rolovich said Moniz was on a even keel, never to high or to low. Teammates say he maintained calm in the huddle, kept players at ease during the frustration of a blowout.

This is a guy I would want in my huddle.

Good Morning Tsaikos!

Good morning Tsai-kos!

Top 20??!!

Happy Aloha Friday and

Happy Birthday Ronnie!!! Have a great birthday. What are the boys doing for you today?

GO WARRIORS!! GO WAHINE!!

Speaking of which, anyone got an extra tix for tomorrow night and don’t mind me sitting next to you? 😀

Eeeeewwwww…… Nah – j/k jmnopq! 😀

~~•~~~~•~~ ❀ ❀ 😀 Happy..Aloha..Friday..to..all!!! 😆 ❀ ❀ ~~•~~~~•~~

Mr. Clore…. where have you been! 😀

I hesitated to bring this up, but it appears from ST’s article this morning that *someone* at UH messed up and didn’t keep track of Sione’s eligibility clock properly. The article indicates that UH thought that Sione had a redshirt year available so he was redshirting this season, but his eligibility clock actually started last year so he doesn’t have a redshirt year available.

This is a pretty big error because UH is so thin on the DL and could have used Sione all season. Discovering this error right before the 6th game of the season puts Sione way behind in his preparation to play and hurt the Warriors’ depth earlier this season.

Nice recognition for Coach Shoji in the USA Today, which used an article by Ann Miller. The national recognition is well deserved and I hope the Wahine get a loud sell-out crowd tomorrow.

Happy Birthday Ronnie!

ST‘s article is titled, “Blaze ignites Warriors”. Another person that just defines the concept is –
Coach Dave Shoji => ★ F I R E !!! ★ 😆

😳 That will possibly be misconstrued by some…. Just to clarify for those few – “Fire” as in intensity, emotion, focus…. 😐

What!!? Everyday is like a b-day party for AJoe !!! 😆

It would also have been a perfect opportunity to use my marker pens, and or all that leftover cake decoration icing….. 🙄 😈 😆

Good morning chopsueyboy!!! – See… some names are in color too! 😀

Good Morning Tsaikos!!

Happy Birthday Ronnie!

brew808,

The sad part of the matter with Sione is that this is probably one example about how having such a limited support staff hurt UH. With the current budget situation, I don’t know how JD can fix it…maybe a student intern could take some of the busy work load off and wouldn’t cost too much.

Yup…. or maybe a “Team”, a class of full student interns all helping….each with an assigned case to monitor…. 😯

ditto…. Go Tarheels!!! (Sorry jmnopq….) 😀

Happy Birthday Ronnie.

There are several “regulars” who sell tickets outside the STan Sheriff Center. I’m sure you can pick up one from there.

If you;re not comfortable with that, then buy any available ticket at the box office. Many good seats remain empty because they belong to season ticketholders who never come to the games so you can move down to a better seat once the match starts.

Happy Birthday Ronnie!

Happy Birthday Ronnie!

good morning tsaiko country and warrior fans

looks like it going to be another scorcher today so have a good one and enjoy what your doing

good luck to all the OIA teams participating in their playoff drive to the OIA championships, ditto to Shane and the Phillies in their second game, positive thought to the warriors in their battle against the vandals and lastly big congrads to cShoji on his 1000 vball victory on sat.

hippo birdie two ewe Ronnie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO RONNIE!!!

Thanks to everyone who has donated so far for the Suan G Komen walk. I have surpassed the $3,000 mark. Simply AMAZING!! This is way more than I could have imagined when I decided to do this. My mom and I really appreciate all the support.

Good morning everyone!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RONNIE !!!

Big Aloha and thanks to AD Mike Morgan of Colfax High School.

At least Tsai had fun in Idaho.

Warriors fall short on a long night….20-24.

That location doesn’t sound like the set for the “Shining” to me… sounds more like the set for that other movie..

you know the one…

what was it called?

Oh yeah..

Tsycho!

WassupDoc!

Looks like you are shaving your head! Actually, you could get a buzz cut like Stretch. You’ll need to use sunscreen on your head & a hat….

ST,

how come UH was ‘turned down’ by WSU and a high school to use their fields? isn’t this something that is arranged far in advance?

i ask this because last year when UH went to play Utah State, they were in the same predicament. UH was going to do their walk throughs in the parking lot of the Marriot Hotel in Ogden…..I know because I was also there.

In a last minute call, someone called Coach Ron McBride of Weber State and asked him if they could come up to use a practice field….and he welcomed them with open arms. If I remember correctly, wasn’t Coach McMackin an assistant at one time under Coach McBride?

Alls well ends well, just interesting that it seems to be a ‘last minute’ effort more and more frequently for attaining practice fields on the mainland.

Have an exciting day in Idaho…….yeeeee haaaaw

ST

i am not even going to comment on your last post……too tempting, but i smell a trap, haha.

Happy birthday to Ronnie!!

ST,

Regarding #76, I fail to see how UH benefited from now knowing that Sione wouldn’t be able to redshirt this season…especially considering how thin the DE position got due to injuries.

ST – you are on a roll starting with the photo on FB of “My Office.” I am cracking up reading your posts. There’s something in the air – maybe a WIN for our Warriors!!!!

UH can no longer get teams to come play in Hawaii without a return game at their field. I think it makes sense for UH to scheudle the back to back non-conference road games. They are able to stay on the mainland and play two games. I think this will be the norm for all future football schedules.

ditto stretch & djmitcho

until the Wacky Wac schedule comes out and we’re on the road again

A friend posted this comment on FB…best sign seen at a football game…Boise is not a state

“Army and Colorado are both very winnable games for the warriors, even on the road”.

LMFAO.

djmitcho,

The Cal State schools use “State” at the end–SJSU, SDSU, Fresno St., etc. The UC schools are in a different system and start with UC-xx.

Article about how the MWC’s TV deal hurts them in scheduling BCS conference teams.

But it may be that BYU, Utah and the other seven members of the Mountain West Conference are fighting for high-profile games with one hand tied behind their backs by the league’s TV deal.

A friend (who wanted to remain nameless) who works at a TV sports network pointed out that MWC teams have a problem when it comes to scheduling a home-and-home series with, say, Ohio State. Buckeye fans expect to be able to see their team play. And there’s considerable skepticism out there that they’d be able to see their team play a road game in a MWC stadium.

Most of them have never heard of The mtn. Some of them probably get the channel as part of their DirecTV subscription and aren’t even aware they have it.

It is quite likely that Comcast will buy NBC Universal–that has been under serious discussion for over a week now. If it happens, the MWC might end up with a much better network showing their games.

If you haven’t kept up with the TV industry buzz, it appears that General Electric and Comcast are close to a deal that would give Comcast control of NBC Universal. It’s complicated, but the end result would be that Comcast would own 51 percent of NBCU and would combine its cable networks with NBC and its cable networks.

Comcast owns Versus. And there’s talk that Comcast envisions combining Versus with NBC Sports to create a channel that would be a genuine competitor to ESPN.

UH made a lot of mistakes in the season opener, so it was good they were playing a D-IAA team that had never beaten a D-IA team before. Plus the D-IAA team lost their star QB to graduation and their starter was out due to injury. If UH had opened with a D-IA team, maybe the first game would have gone differently…

The improvement made after the first game was key to the fast start against Washington State…so, I stick by my point that opening with a D-IAA team can be beneficial to the team.

USC wants to play Hawaii for their first game. It’s sort of like Hawaii wanting to play a D1AA.

Yikes. Due= Dye

Due or Dye. It’s all hair. 🙂

K djmitcho:

Ice the Vandals!!!

GO WARRIORS!!!

There’s gonna be a Warrior BARNBURNER tomorrow. Woo Hoo!

K. Time fer lunch.

Go Warriors. Long time lurker. Enjoy reading bh2 posts. And that new poster gorn. The other stuff is okay.

yep, Steele was deadeye correct!

shhesh garret why you so upset

that so retarded bc i was calling out and questioning sione’s eligibility back in july. however, 4 to play 4 is much better than 3 or 2 to play 2. word on the street is that veni manu is taking the similar (same?) route attending UH-WO this semester. mack and tuioti better know what theyre doing next time around.

Going to UH West Oahu and UH-Hilo would count as a “year” even if they do not have a football program?

What role does the “compliance” office play in helping coaches determine eligibility “time” for athletes?

what happened to Alofipo?

also, is Tonga hurt? I saw him on the sideline last week with no pads and a #3 jersey that had no name on it.

Kazz (Win #1000 comes on SAT 10/17/2009!!!):

October 16th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
Rainbow Warriors got their first practice today/tonight… Anyone know what time and if it’s open to the public like last year?

Oops… Nevermind. They do at Gym II from 5pm to 7:30pm and it’s open to everyone.

Maybe I should read the paper first next time! 😳

Hiya Ted! How ya doin?

Happy Birthday Ronnie!

Stephen Tsai:

October 16th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
Kazz:
Stop swearing.

Done. Many apologies ST.

FloridaTed,

Some ppl can only stand foolishness for so long.

Thanks, Tsai-Meister, I have a lot to be thankful for.

Your 8-5 prediction can still happen, so could mine. College ball can be quite crazy, yours, off course, has a much better chance, lol.

Hiya, Ted:

Hope all is well with you and Patti.

Our continued prayers for your swift and complete recovery!!

Oh boy… After reading todays article its good to hear that the scuffle between Blaze and Leonard sparked the team but why did it have to come to that?

The Idaho game is a must-win. The senior leaders should have helped motivate the team (sans Blaze getting rough) and more importantly the coaches should have our guys “on edge” in desperate times.

This blog has helped me tremendously in slowly getting back my writing groove, after my stroke. I’m almost ready to getting back to editing my book. I’ve lost my agent, but that’s o.k., the forced time-out gave me good ideas, to make the story longer and better.

I sure hope everything happens for a reason.

Oh, yeah, almost forgot,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RONNIE !!!!!!

WassupDoc said that she hadn’t received any response on the blog to her offer to shave her head if Stretch got to $3K, so she’s not gonna cut her hair. Aaawwwww…woulda been interesting, but I can see why women don’t want to shave their heads. Unless you’re a Buddhist nun or undergoing chemo…

{on soapbox}

Having to go up to Baltimore for work today, I’m just a little irked at the genius who decided it was prudent to pile all of us on a charter bus to head up there.

My (and other coworkers’) mindset from the beginning was that we’d be better off just taking Amtrak up there, especially given the horribleness of the traffic on the B-W Parkway…..AND considering today’s Friday.

Sure enough:
1.5 hours to get from D.C. to Baltimore
2 hours to return from Baltimore to D.C.
Amtrak travel time: ~40 minutes

Add in the Metro commute time to get to/from our charter bus rendezvous point and the 35 minutes I had to wait for my bus to go home…..it’s been a long day. Just got home, calling it quits until tomorrow.

Sorry just had to vent.
{off soapbox}

CRW

whew, rough road, you could be in honolulu where a truck hits the Gulick overpass and now ALL 3 lanes Eastbound to town are closed…oh yeah, and it’s Friday…whew

A-House
Is there something you would like recorded until you get it repaired?

compliance office messed up on azngamer808 eligibility.
we thought if he graduated UW in 4 years, he could play anywhere on the 5 th year, but UH compliance said that rule was omitted only for football,
all other sports still has that allowance. the only way azngamer808 could play football was if he applied for a graduate program at a d2 or lower level.

amazing that the guard from Duke basketball team could graduate in 4 years and transfer this year and play as a quarterback for Syracuse without sitting out a year. seems like UH compliance office interpretation was incorrect. there went his dream of playing for the Warriors. Auwe!

Bulla #153:

Ah. I fondly remember those occurrences. Gotta be aggravating for folks like yourself (or others) who might have little recourse for action.

It’s just sheer volume (of cars) out here. Still kind of perplexing that one of the main thoroughfares between D.C. and Baltimore only has two lanes in each direction.

Oh well.

A-House,

That place you used to take your equipment to wasn’t the one behind Windward Mall in Kaneohe was it? If so, that guy still works out of his house.

http://yellowpages.kitv.com/windward+electronics.131055.68150204.home.html

Got more reading done on my lunch hour and I enjoyed the piece on the Bows. UH fans that actually attend games, for the most part, will always be flocking to the next possible program that may have a better chance of success in their respective sport than the previous one they supported that struggled This season may be no different. Just like how the “non-regulars” flocked to Murakami stadium during the Rainbows’ mostly successful regular season, the non-regulars may be looking for a new reason to flock to the SSC for Bows’ basketball if the Warriors cannot shake themselves out of this current funk.

This season’s squad may have more “swagger” to them with the additions of Williams and Lay and the added confidence in Roderick Flemings. Not just as a talent, but Flemings is going to have to be a more vocal leader than last season to inspire success. He and Bill Amis will be the senior backbones of this 2009-2010 team.

Last sports season (fall 08 and spring 09) was a troublesome one. A 7-7 football season after 12-1 when people expected more of the same, a lackluster mens basketball season, and a women’s basketball controversy made headlines for the most part, but like a breath of fresh air the Rainbow baseball program gave people hope. The hope to end the sports season on a high note.

This season, as the Warriors look to still make a positive lasting impression on the 2009 season, the Rainbow Warrior Basketball team should know that in the beginning the stands may be packed and loud… To retain that, it will be up to them.

Mahalo LizKauai

Wow lau lau. We can go all niiiiiight. Give me the green liiiiiight.

Florida Ted:

If we ever go back to Florida, we will take that leisurely drive to Clearwater to visit with you and Patti.

Never know – UH may play Florida or another school if they are willing to have a “home n home” series.

A-house,

If you find that you need to replace your DVD/VCR… you may want to look at something like the following that allows you to record directly onto a hard drive and copy files to and from any computer via USB or LAN. You can also attach a cheap external DVD r/w to it to copy your recorded files.

It doesn’t come with a hard drive, you have to supply your own. You can get a 1TB hd for less than $100 these days. That would give you enough space to record over 1000 hours of HD quality movies/video.

A-House,

If you should ever make that leisurely drive, I have two guest beds in my “office”. You’re always welcome.

Only 14 more “shopping” days until the Nevada game and 35 to San Jose State.

If you plan to attend those games, please email me your tentative plans for listing at:

http://home.roadrunner.com/~smurashi/tsai-kos/away09.html

Same drill. See who else is going, who’s staying where, when they arrive and depart (for cattle call and tailgate planning purposes). Establish contact info net (email & cell phone) with each other and get the latest plans and happenings.

LizK,

Speaking of “scratch” remember those old commercials with Frank DeLima promoting that “Muhi Us” anit-itch cream??? I could of sworn I saw a commercial like that last night!

Then again I also had a dream where Coach Rolo challenged Joe Onosai to a headbutting contest… 😆

Happy birthday Ronnie!!!

Liz . . .

The EWF video had a floor that looked kind of familiar.

A good omen.

Go Warriors!!!

Dang, Liz. I was feeling happy because it is Friday and then you have to ask about the bikes.

I was feeling extremely blissful.

Grrrrrrrrrrr.

Congratulations to Stretch!!!

Now you can show off that beautiful scalp like some of us already do!

Whoo-hoo!!!

Sharpen the blades!

Kazz are you going to the mbb practice tonight? Player straw poll list Hiram Thompson as the best passer and Adams as the fastest players, both from last years squad. I hope the two new recruit guards step up and bring a lot more leadership, passing and flow into the game. Kind of disappointed that the early straw poll did not list either one as the best passer in fall workouts and a part time starter, Adams at forward, being the fastest player to date.

Does anyone remember what the mood was like during the 2000 and 2005 seasons?

Were people more forgiving because in 2000 we still weren’t used to winning seasons on a regular basis?

Were people more forgiving in 2005 because you could see hope for the future with Colt, Bess, RGM?

Pitt’s uniforms look a bit like Idaho’s. So as I watch the game out of the corner of my eye it creeps me out a little.

Ralph,

I’ll heading over to UH a little late though. I get out of the office at 6 and can be there around 6:20 ish. Enough to catch like an hour or so.

hey, what is stated on the blog and left out as a challenge regardless of any responses is as good as one’s word.

year 3, new offensive line?

Al football rating on CBSsports. We were 87 after the LaTech game. SMU is at 68th.

200?

200 again?

Howzit Everybody,

Happy Birthday Ronnie and many many more.

Whoever is going over to Stretch’s Mom’s place tomorrow – don’t forget PHOTOGRAPHS of the great event!

And what happen to ESME??? Who is the lucky designator?

Don Weir posted this last Friday about the bikes, and i followed last Fri:

Tsaiko Bike Donors
bhf2 spoke with the sales rep on Saturday around 11:00 am. I read his blog posting so I went on-line and ordered the bike one hour later as shown in a previous post, paid for the bike, and was told the same as bhf2 that the bike would be shipped on Tuesday and be here no later than Friday. I received the foillowing e-mail, a phone call, and follow up e-mails today (2). I received the e-mails form the corporate office at
ship@mercantila-inc.com
I authorized shipment referenced below..

E-Mail #1
Hi DONALD,

We’re writing with an update on order number # 485077. Please do not reply to this email — it’s from an automated address.
Order Update
Today at 2:57pm PDT we processed your order and sent it to the warehouse for shipping.
What’s Next?
Your order will be scheduled for shipment by the warehouse. Usually this happens within 1 business day. We will email you with the estimated ship date as soon as this happens.

Thank you!

Hi Don,

I apologize you were mislead by our sales rep. This is not the way we wish to represent our company. Unfortunately, we can never guarantee the date of shipment on any item we sell as this is up to our warehouse and FedEx. This item cannot possibly arrive at the guaranteed date of Tuesday and all Hawaiian, Alaskan, and International shipments require us to obtain a ship quote and get approval from that customer. This is a process that extends the shipment of items beyond the promised date, in this case, of Tuesday.
I have processed the order and will do all I can to get this item to you as soon as possible. I apologize for the inconvenience in the matter and regret that you were given information which is not true in this case. We, once again, do not ever wish to represent our company this way.

Hi,

We are processing your order and due to the fact that your item will be shipped outside the lower 48-United States, we have quoted an additional shipping charge of $42.65. In order to go ahead and proceed with the order, we will need your approval on the shipping charges, or, if you have an address we can use in the lower 48-States, we would be glad to update your shipping address and ship it there. Please let us know as soon as possible so we can get your order processed and shipped! Thanks, and I apologize for any inconvenience.

bhf2, any suggestions on what do we do from here?? I will be off line for the next two days.

Then I saw Don’s #275 yesterday, and TyAiea’s inquiry, then Don tellin us its all good now and they’re waiting for some kinda connection from
Hawaiian air and the shipper. in LV. sum kinda bs.

tomorrow I’ll follow up again with the Mercantila, see if its here already or wat. order no. 485077.

1 business day. we’re used to gettin da b.s.. gets numb afta awhile if you let it go. I’m not a lettin go.

Diogenes,

you’re right in refering to MOJO as a rules man, but perpetuities i dunno.. 😀 sticks an stones is my expertise. 😀

My suggestion is: SLUGGER. my second choice is: SLUGGER.

she is available. you wanna know what is the real problem, if there is a problem. actually, if there is a problem, there are two:

H A R D H E A D S ! ! ! L A Z Y H E A D S ! ! !

Diogenes,

the first problem is not the rules. the first problem is identifying all the peeps, and then charting them all out with a basic board, like ACT, when stuff started for each, etc. these days of computers, can load lots of stuffs on da computah. my reading of the AD office is get some old peeps in there that are good for PR, keeping the calendars, making the calls, being polite, stuff like that, but the nitty gritty of keeping up with the Sione, the JUCOs, the person has to be able to interact with the coaches, talk to them and get info. part of the deal is to make a schedule for a day every week or so and run the names by and get everybody on the same page, way before the LOI and make sure no body falls through the cracks.

we’re gonna get better anyway because the crack is gonna get smaller as the problem children get identified, but it didn’t have to get there in the first place. that is what having extra help is all about.

and my vote is Slugger. I said this earlier this summer.

you get spoiled, having good help, things planned out.

I thought hard water felt like the soap was not completely rinsed off. Soft water is largely mineral free and rinses the slimey feeling off.

Is that not what water softeners do?

When I travel to areas of the country where there is a lot of limestone rinsing off is always a chore because it feels like I am still covered in soap. In Hawai’i no problem.

‘Course, I could have it completely inside out.

bhf2 . . .

Why not just go slap some heads and bring the bikes back?

It would make all of us feel better . . . especially when the pictures and video are posted.

Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Smart. Slimey. Solicitor.

Would that make you slick?

the rest of the world may be crashing around,

but we’re getting the bikes!

Mr. A-House impressed Mrs. A-House with his “muscles”. Mr. Tsai dazzled Mrs. Tsai with his plumbing skills. And bhf2 stunned Mrs. bhf2 with his slickatude.

Maybe that is the secret! I have to find some talent or skill with which to impress the women.

HA!

that was me on the last post!!! dang, forgot again!!!

late response to chopsueyboy, MIH, and LizK:

our problem is that a disc is stuck and machine will not “eject” it.

we need the machine to be cleaned/maintinance work and get the disc.

mih: i will call the number listed and hope to get touch with the repairman who works out of his house – hope he lives in Kaneohe!

we need a VHS/DVD machine as we have a lot of VHS which needs to be transferred to discs.

checking with the Navy PX, they have a very limited supply, if any, of the VHS/DVD player/recorders because VHS tapes are nearly extinct – get plenty DVD recorders/player machines.

Mr. A-House . . .

It was mentioned earlier that Costco has a DVD/VHS machine in stock. I believe it is a Sony.

Even with the disc stuck in the machine, it might be less expensive to just purchase a new one rather then to try and have the disc removed. Unless the disc is irreplaceable.

wafan, howzit, spoken like a true professional teacher!!!!!!

And their team is unbeaten, so there may be some future Warriors from there.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RONNIE!!!!!!!!!

A-House,
I said earlier that COSTCO had a Sony VHD/DVD recorder. I think I paid under $200 (I think $169) for it. It’s black and is easy to use. I got mine from COSTCO Waipio; model # RDR-VX535. It comes w/ a dubbing feature.

They will not quit on us an I will not quit on them.

I called the mfg. I ordered my hardware and sed “gotta be here next week by Wed. if possible. Does free shipping apply to Hawaii too?”. He sed yes. Two hours later, I got the FedEx notice of delivery to their office and to expect the stuff on Tuesday.

Good luck on the bikes!

Hi Liz

LizKauai [iMac] WARRIORS! IMUA!:
nice pick up on the article……

Thanks for the pix, ST. I see what you mean about “intimate quarters”…
WOW! 😯

safe travels to d1 and his ever so lovely bride………

GO WARRIORS
GO WILDCATS (X2)

The debate over whether or not Texas and Oklahoma should continue to play a game in Dallas each year instead of schedule home-and-home deals provides some interesting revenue numbers:

Texas and Oklahoma each get $5 million every year for playing at the Cotton Bowl. They chose to stay at the Cotton Bowl over going to the new Cowboys’ Stadium after the Cotton Bowl expanded the stadium.

Texas makes $6 million per home game

Oklahoma makes $4 million per home game.

If estimates of $500k profit per Warrior home game are correct, then playing a game at a neutral site (say the new stadium in the City of Industry when it is done) could make a lot more money for UH. For example, what if the game against BSU were played in LA each year and each team got $1 million from the game. Now, UH gets $500k or so for home games and zero for road games, so UH makes $500k over 2 years…playing at a neutral site would make $1 million each year.

The numbers are just estimates of course, but economics could work out in favor of the Warriors playing a neutral site game each year. Plus, playing a game in an area on the mainland that UH recruits in could really pay off for UH. BSU (and Fresno State) gets a lot of recruits from the LA/Orange County area so they would benefit also.

Esme posted this amazing video of a baby that survived after falling under a train. A gust of wind swept the stroller onto the train track the split second before the train got there…I cannot imagine how that mother felt when she must have thought her baby was dead.

Good Evening Tsaikos and Tsaikettes!

I wish we could change the font size like the old blog so I could make a really big HAPPY BIRTHDAY RONNIE! (since I can’t do fancy stuff like brew) Hope you had a wonderful day.

Thanks to everyone who has donated so far for the Susan G Komen walk. I have surpassed the $3,000 mark.

Does this mean that you will take off the last eighth of an inch of hair? If you feel stubble it’s too long. See you tomorrow Curly.

Wishing a good safe trip to the d1s.

Good night Tsaikoland. Pleasant dreams.

thanks for the infor LizK.

wish us luck. i think we’ve been cheated by Mercantila. it won’t be the first time Mercantila Inc. has been accused of fraud. the trouble was, when i looked up da schwinn bike on google the number they gave made it seem like it was a Schwinn dealer and the number went to Mercantila. not having heard the name before, i thought it was a good name, and my friendgot his bike from Oregon and Mercantila’s office was in Oregon.

but I promise you that tomorrow I’ll spend some time on this problem and see if i can’t shake things loose if it isn’t already here. we shall see.

good nite.

Go Warriors. beat da spuds!

Happy Birthday to Ronnie!!

going brake and get some rest cause tomorrow going be long day with the Warriors in the morning and Wahines in the evening.

discipline, grasshoppa, discipline.

Howzit my Hilo cousin?!…game day fever. Got lots of X’s and O’s on my mind.

Mix that up with a few fly patterns and ‘Z’ outs…a dash of Earth, Wind and Fire pounding out some major yards and poof…Mashed Potatoes!

Would look good for you to wear to court monday. Da judge goin’ be impressed when he sees da scalp hanging from your belt! Da odda attorney will know you mean business. Da bad guy will assume da position…’cause he knows his goose is cooked!

wat? you feeling stalked? 😀

Idaho’s 5 players from Hawaii have the extra motivation that UH didn’t want them. UH cannot take all the recruits in Hawaii due to scholarship limitations, so I’m glad that they are having success elsewhere…though I’d be happier if they were 5-2 after the game.

Idaho linebackers JoJo Dickson and Robert Siavii have a lot in common. At the top of that list is a chip on their shoulders.

Dickson and Siavii (pronounced See-uh-vee-ee) are Hawaii natives who had to come to the mainland to fulfill their wishes of playing college football. The Vandals’ starters are looking forward to Saturday’s home game against their hometown Warriors.

An Idaho win would make the Vandals bowl eligible and give five Hawaii natives on the roster some bragging rights. Running back/kick returner Kama Bailey, reserve linebacker Conrad Scheidt and reserve defensive lineman Isaiah Lavea are the other Hawaii natives.

“They kind of overlooked us coming out of high school and we both ended up over here,” Dickson said. “That’s the home team where everyone from Hawaii wants to play.”

Neither Dickson nor Siavii received scholarship offers from the Warriors, which turned out to be good news for Idaho.

Coaches,

you gotta be in da game frum befo da game!
No futzin around. akkin like you neva sleep holiday inn express.

an no foget to tell da playerz, make da play! sumtimez send 2 defenders at one guy, and one of dem M U S T make da play!

Go Warriors!!!

aloha my brother, no worries about The Beast 🙂 he is doing very well with Weber State, and the fact is that not everyone can play for UH. Last year Ryan only had 1 college game under his belt before playing UH, and he did pretty good against the Warriors, the film does not lie.

Student athletes who go away to pursue the sport they love, RELISH the opportunity to play against UH, and YES it does motivate them…….just to validate that they can still play the game at a higher level.

The Beast was blessed with being awarded Big Sky Conference Defensive player of the week for his 3 sacks and 3.5 tackles for loss last week against Eastern Washington University.

Unfortunately kickoff will be about the same time as the UH game so we won’t be able to watch. 🙁
