Happy Happy, everyone!

As usual on Thanksgiving, we went to a potluck coordinated by our church. Unfortunately, shortly after starting to eat, the elderly woman sitting across from me who is in the mid-cycle of Alzheimer’s got sick. In order not to join the Ralphing Brigade, I got up and walked around outside for about 15 minutes until the mess got cleared up. By then, I’d lost my appetite so I ate a couple of pumpkin cookes and drank some coffee for this year’s Thanksgiving Dinner.

Wonder where the Wahine will play next? Hope it will be in a location where there are some UH supporters nearby? Anyone from here going to attend the next two rounds between December 3 & 6?

Wonder what the Weather Gods are going to come up with on Saturday night. Well, at least the two teams won’t have to wear snow gear. I still remember watching (on tv) a game in Denver years ago when the snow was so deep that while the teams were at one end of the field, groundskeepers were clearing off the other end. Still, there were a number of guy fans who were bare from their waists to their necks with their chests painted in the team’s colors. Talk about devotion to the cause. Most of them wore ski masks – not sure if it was to hide their faces or protect them from the wind.

Hope that all is well with everyone. BIG QUESTION – will the flags’ placement on Saturday be corrected?

And for Coach Mack and his wife the butterflies came

Not the ones that have beautiful spots

But the ones that were making their stomach into knots

The night went slowly by and sleep was partly denied

But the misses remained up and stayed at his side

She saw the twisting and turning of his emotion

And could feel the half opened eyes speaking of devotion

Naturally to her, she knew of the hopes of a bowl bid

And, too, felt the words of hatred during the team’s skid

So as the night wears on, frames of plays fills his mind

Countering the fullback dive he has a defense to find

Respecting the three phases of the option he knows

Disguising the defense’s plays is the way he goes

The misses silently looks on with a tear in her eye

And a divine look out into the dawning sky

Like others have mentioned, mostly going on their hunches, I also have a good feeling of Hawaii’s chances against Navy. I think the safeties have to be a disruption and cause a lot of havoc and spy the QB’s options. I see RJ peaking in his play. And wish that Paipai would start.

I am also thankful to have a bed to sleep in.

Good night! You guys are priceless!

GO WARRIORS!!!

Work tomorrow… Long day too… 🙁

And I have to say it again,

On this Thanksgiving,

They provide us with many reasons to cheer and to cry and punch the walls sometimes, but ultimately, they provide us with memories and more reasons to be PROUD of being from Hawaii.

Still had my season saved to go up against Navy… 😎

Final (on Heisman-level difficulty):

#1 UH 41
#9 Navy 6

Box Score:
UH 1stqtr- 7, 2ndqtr 10, 3rdqtr 14, 4thqtr 10
Navy 1stqtr- 0, 2ndqtr 0, 3rdqtr 6 (blocked PAT), 4thqtr 0

Navy = 75 yards passing and 168 rushing.
UH = 401 yards passing and 77 rushing.

Used a base 5-2 quite a bit along with the 46-bear defense. The CPU-control Navy Midshipmen really didn’t try to spread out the field. They got some big 3rd down conversions. I just simply threw in a nickel 4-2-5 to put and end to this and it led to many-a-sack.. 😆

On D, I usually control the DE’s anyway, and off the snap once you shed your initial block, the backfield is yours for the taking. Got three QB sacks and 4 tackles for loss.

Funny, I don’t think the game is set up to include cut-blocks. 😯

iwonderwhytheyhateme,

I go to the 2015 BCS National Championship Game against TEXAS now… I’ll let you know the results… 😎

Wafan,

I think they’re still using that one… The “rainbow UH” still lives.

-There’s that one gray stool I still see on the sidelines at the Stan Sheriff Center.

-Last year I remember seeing the UH rainbow logo on the men and women locker room labels at the Stan Sheriff Center.

-There’s the athletic complex directory sign on the first level with the UH rainbow logo.
