Looking ahead
The Warriors will be given a day off today, as mandated by the NCAA, but the coaches will study videos and finalize the game plan for Saturday’s game against UNLV. No rest for coaches seeking a split of this two-game road trip.

Do you know where the team is staying at in Las Vegas?

Morning, everyone!
Heal up and go at it!
Here is the Seattle Times article about the game. Its mostly about their qb Keith Price who came in with questions but had a hell of game – especially in the first quarter. He says the defense was brought in and he was able to throw over it.

g’morning/g’night
whoooooooooosh
Top 5??? Was a good game yesterday. can’t wait for unlv.
Top 10!
One snap and clear. UH should beat UNLV by a large margin and it will be great to see in person.
In my preseason prediction for hwnstln, I predicted that UH would go 11-2 during the regular season, with one of the losses being at U-Dub. If that prediction comes true, that would be a great season for UH…especially since I think this is the year that Mack will win his first bowl game as head coach (over SMU).
UH will be in the Hawaii Bowl. No BCS Bowl scenario now and (in my opinion) no way that UH doesn’t qualify for a bowl. Hopefully UH will be WAC champions and Hawaii Bowl champions…that would be a nice way to leave the WAC.
Good Morning!
I hope the coaches are looking a the dept chart in rotating players? Couple plays go a long way in keeping fresh legs on the field.
Go Warriors! 56-24 Jack pot!
ST: Good article on Tank. Defense is a complex system.

Sea-Tac is awesome. Free WiFi.
But airport security is really tight today, of course, but the TSA folks here are very cordial. Makes the traveling experience pleasant.
Team is out in Summerlin.
That was once the name of my HMO.

Hawaii comes back but falls short in Washington

Good Morning Tsai-kos!
Thanks Tom for the great seats at Husky Stadium.
Still in Seattle, going to Ivar’s Salmon House for a brunch buffet.
Proud of how the Warriors fought back.
Got back to hotel last night in time to watch amazing ending to Michigan-Notre Dame game.
Thanks ST: Depends on my daughter’s Sunday schedule, but I’ll keep it in mind.
One snap and clear?
Thats basically what tank hopkins does. Takes a nap and clears out of the way.
Countless fans in the hawaii section were stck having to agree with the husky fans sitting in my area that price needed to pick on tank.

Looking forward to UNLV.
GO, WARRIORS!
Some one said that the replay is today at noon???????
Pomai…noon today on oceanic…yes.
Chris Tanaka shot McMackin’s segment yesterday for tonight’s Coach Mack Show.
Tough loss for the Warriors, but they continued to fight. Guess I’ll stick with my lucky numbers for this upcoming game. UH 31 – UNLV 13!
1420 has to review that broadcasts of the Washington game.
It was terrible. Can’t get any worse than that.
First BC’s audio is muffled. The clarity was off. This problem existed throughout the game. Why didn’t somebody back at the station tell him?
Not unless I missed it. I have no clue as to who the starters were on defense.
Someone on the other blog wrote that the defense came out with nickle defense. That’s news to me because listening to the radio broadcast I’m left in the dark.
From listening to their broadcast I have no idea of what defense UH is in–4-3, 3-4, elephant, nickle, dime, or quarter.
From listening to their broadcast I have no idea who was covering the TE Jenkins, who caught the two long passes in the first quarter–50+, 40+ yarder. That info I want to know when I’m listening to a broadcast.
From listening to the broadcast I want to hear description of what adjustments the defense was making. In the second half the UH defense gives up less than a 100 yards…okay, describe to me what the defense is doing differently in the second half. But nope, I guess, that’s beyond their ability.
After listening to this broadcast I honestly think that RK made BC look good.
At least if I were listening to RK he would have been insightful…doing color with a coaches perspective.. For example he would say how the defense is countering UW’s 3 TE look. What players go where, who’s covering Jenkins etc.
These guys doing the game yesterday–disappointment. Fry an egg on my head time. And to make matters worse BC’s last five minutes of the game was absent of any optimism imo. Seemed to me like he wrote UH off, and was already looking at the UNLV game….the message BC conveys, “at least UH had a go showing blah, blah, blah and to me the game is still in question, UH still has chance, and BC’s reading eulogy. Come on. That’s bad.

Aloha and good morning everyone-
I am in awe and deeply humbled of the very Freedom that affords me to partake in such a simple fruit as sharing a victory or defeat of a football game on a blog amongst friends.
Today, kindly pause for a moment to reflect on an event that has forever changed each and every one of our lives. Observe loved ones, family, friends, who’s lives were tragically lost 10 years ago today. Respect the many more that have since been lost. Honor those who continue to preserve of the Freedom we have that so many in our world strive for.
Nice marching band formations!
Yea, Estes Ohana!!!
From my facebook friend Roya Bauman:
On this day… Let’s also not forget that the hijackers of the airplanes on Sept. 11 started out as innocent children who didn’t know how to hate. As children, they weren’t filled with the prejudice of their traditions, religion, country. They were “Spiritual souls! Tender souls! The hearts of all children are of the utmost purity. They are mirrors upon which no dust has fallen.” Children have to be taught to hate; it is our job to make sure they are not.
God Bless and let us train our children to be warrior peacemakers on earth!
I just want to mention I’m all new to weblog and honestly loved your web site. Likely I’m going to bookmark your blog . You actually come with wonderful writings. Thanks a lot for sharing your web page.
Ask yourself, ” Am I a September 10 person, or a September 11 ?
personally, I am the latter.
My overall perspective changed that very day on the 11th, and view more now through a prism of what happened that day.
Never forget.
Go Warriors. Train hard and play hard. Winners don’t compromise.
Wonder what the spread will be for this weeks game. Looking for the offense to click and light it up. Look what the WSU qb did to the rebel defense.
Lobbestael finished 24 of 32 for 361 yards and five touchdowns, and the Cougars outgained UNLV 610 yards to 158.
Those were nice band formations. Nice of UDub’s band to form the H and play our fight song.
One snap & clear! Next! Beat UNLV! I know the guys are going to work hard this week.
Nice to see the Estes ‘ohana!
GO WARRIORS!!!
Tough loss…We’ll need to take out our frustration on UNLV:
UH 27 UNLV 10
Another tough game, but our running game will pull us through.
Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂
On to Vegas!
Nice pics, Mr. Tsai. Very classy of Washington’s band.
911 changed everything. We will never forget.
Morning, Tsaikos! One snap and clear. On to UNLV.
Morning, Mr. DPK!
Pomai~

Good Morning Ms. Honey.
Get well wounded Warriors.
Good morning everyone!
Yup….on to Vegas and UNLV!
good morning tsaikos and congratulations to all UH athletes for putting on great games this weekend. win or lose, they play the game as it should be played.
GOOD MORNING HAWAII!
LIZ #30 – thank you for your quote (Roya Bauman).
Never forget.
Pomai, 35-34 UH. We would be tired for spending all those days on the road. Losing focus at a few times, but good enough to pull it out.
Pride,
Those stats you threw out at me yesterday really got me thinking.
Was Washington really able to scheme plays that took out our top tacklers?
Did they really have the athleticism in key positions to accomplish that?
If so, wow! That is game planning on the offensive side of the play book! Thank goodness we aren’t going to face any other team with the same or better caliber of players till possibly the end of the season.
Great Morning All!
If they win the coin toss in Vegas, Take the win and the ball!
2nd Guessing, back seat driver and in hindsight. Easy to make comments challenging for coaches in realtime.
It appeared Washington was satisfied running the clock down before the half going in with a 7 point lead. I’m sure coach Mack knew a 2 point conversion was automatic when the lst PAT was blocked.
Timeout taken at times works sometimes it doesn’t work.
The 2 point conversion, a play should have already been known instead of having to call a timeout to decide. More positive for the success of the 2 points to be made if the offense is confident and ready. If anything the opposing defense would be less ready for it. The opposing team may be the one needing to call a timeout not having the right personnel.
I am sure Hawaii called the timeout before the half running down allowing Washington to take that chance on 3rd and long. Rest is history. If they went in down 1 touchdown and getting the ball lst, that would have been a better scenario.
As stated easy to comment and I stand corrected if Washington called timeout instead of Hawaii on their final posession before the half.
…in moment of silence…
My perspective on the upcoming WAC season. I don’t think that the Warriors can take any WAC game lightly. A lot of the WAC teams improved and they know our system after playing against us for many years. The home games we should pull it out, but any road game will be tough. I am concerned about Utah State and what they have to prove. I’m always concerned about Lousiana Tech and the physical ball that they play. Nevada will be very tough at their home with the weather and all although right now they are struggling. New Mexico beat powerful Minnesota outright at Minnesota. San Jose State’s game at UCLA was closer than probably anyone thought. Should we sweep the WAC, in no way it would be as easy as some of us think. Will we sweep the WAC? Tough one.
Solemn day of remembrance and observance…
Good morning, Tsaikos and Tsaikettes, and Lurkers Solemn day of remembrance and observance…
Good morning, Tsaikos and Tsaikettes, and Lurkers and Lurkettes
Good day after Warrior Football

TSA may have been cordial to ST, but I got patted down quite aggressively.
Salas dropped a pass to him. Sure the pass was thrown low, but the commentator said that rookie or not, you are getting to paid to play. The Rams has 6 dropped passes already in the game.
Where’s homey?
Pomai,
48-10 UH
Mahalo!
Thanks for your personal marvelous posting! I genuinely enjoyed reading it, you will be a great author.I will make certain to bookmark your blog and will eventually come back someday. I want to encourage that you continue your great posts, have a nice morning!
Cool! Salas was in the game for the Rams.
Pomai…
UH 42 UNLV 14
Many thank yous to the Tsaiko group that attended yesterday’s TsaikoTV-gate at Ige’s, IWWTHM, JaM & Brie, J(J), Koakane, and sean and his family, and for the camaraderie through the excitement of not only the good parts but also the not so good parts of the game.
Enjoyed being amongst the fairly huge crowd there (the place was pretty packed) and appreciated that all were in support of our beloved team as UH Warrior Football 13th-man players. Everyone seemed to be sporting uniform green and/or black, the place was hopeful throughout, and always loud with excitement when celebrating and cheering the Team’s positive gains
I noticed Kealoha Pilares was still the the Carolina roster. I thought he was getting cut or on injury reserve, because of a nasty injury to his ankle. I don’t know if he will play in the near future but I am looking forward to him doing some damage in the NFL.
Welcome to the sean Ohana who attended his first Tsaiko get-together and say they will be joining us for more including our next game’s t-gate at the cabanas. I’m sure the other Tsaikos will be excited to meet you all! 🙂
Sean – I’ll answer your question by email from yesterday and forward your email addy to Koakane for future t-gate announcements.
Jets and Mr. Green coming up in the late afternoon game. Imua Warriors!
(Replace his with their)
#62, sorry about the stuttering. Nerjous.
huzzit UHfan808. I’m glad you’re back on the blog. Nice positive comments from you.
No foget…
Take all the hindsight … and watch the replay at 12… I want to know how they were able to neutralize our best tacklers … who let the dogs loose on the PAT attempts … and what routes were run and where those big pass plays that Washington had were being thrown.
— UH vs UNLV TsaikoTV-gate Announcement —
For the upcoming game this Saturday 9/17, we’ll be taking our Tsaiko cheering to the other side of town (Moilili) to 13th-man suport our Warriors from afar at Anasia Cafe and Restauranton Beretania.
For those who haven’t been there (like me) – Visited Anasia yesterday to evaluate the venue and saw that it’s a med-large comfortable place with very reasonable drink prices. Heard the fuud is really guud there, especially the pho soup if you like thatkindathing. 😉
Details are forthcoming ~Tuesday since it is not yet known by Oceanic either whether or what channel (PPV or other) the game will be shown via Oceanic. (Thanks for the heads up, d1 via KK and J(J)!)
What time is next week’s game? 5pm?
Hey papajoe2!
Long time to see cuz I haven’t blogged as much in nearly a year 🙁 but sure feels guud 🙂 (dada dada dada da lol)
How you doing?
MIH – 4pm HST
Will the UH cheerleaders make an appearance at the UNLV game on Saturday?
RE 61-
So-he-says-his-blog-name-wil-be “Gangreen”, says mahalo to you all who attended yesterday, he really did enjoy your company while watching the game. 🙂
And he also says mahalo to you all for your hospitality at the t-gate too!
Gangreen – Thank you for coming out to join us in support of the Warriors, and welcome to TsaikoWorld!
Go Warriors!!!
Good morning Tsaikos!!
UHfan808 – parking lot at the place is tiny (smaller than Genji’s). Is there a good place to park?
IS IT SATURDAY YET??!!
jmxxxx – I’m glad you asked that question where to park cuz I did too —
Parking in front of the Anasia building will be a challenge but there is a much larger parking lot just before Anasia at the union building on same side of Beretania Street as Anasia.
I think we rebound and rebound BIG TIME against the Rebels…
Pomai –
UHfan808 – UH 54 : UNLV 20

Work to get what you want and make it be, Warriors!
We’re behind you all the way!!!
Cheeehoo! GO WARRIORS!!!

Thanks Pomai!
Good afternoon!
Warriors come roaring back next week.
We 51 – they 7
Thanks, Pomai!!!

#77,
We better. There is no way to sugar coat that UNLV looked beyond god awful the past 2 games.
Any team that allows Washington State to put up 59 points and holds down their offense in what was effectively a shut out needs some SERIOUS restoration and renovation.
Many thanks to Stretch and gang!
Good to see the A-Houses at the game and dinner.
Good to see the A-Houses at the game and dinner.
game replay on 12 or 1012 in 8 minutes.. umnnnn.. ah.. wait.. make that 7 minutes… whoops… 6 minutes and 45 seconds….
We need to play big on our special teams. The only Rebel score yesterday came on a 95 yard return in the 4th quarter. Stop that and the goose will lay an egg.
But no need to rush.. wait a half hour… and you can catch it from the second quarter… when the Warriors show up…
Okay okay.bad joke..
my bad…
2 things can make a team go thud! Overconfidence and lack of respect. UH hasn’t won the game against UNLV or any future opponent yet.
Stay humble, stay focused.
I just hope that after the next two games, the Warriors don’t think they have everything fixed when they go on the road to face La Tech and San Josie State.
On my earlier #50 post. No I didn’t forget the Fresnecks. Its a given that they will be tough.
papajoe2,
Sorry. Just stating opinion shrouded in facts about UNLV. I repeat Wazzu put 59 points them…Washington State…Paul Wulff’s Washington State.
that’s a nice H.
hmmm… wonder if UH has thought of this or will consider it?
Since the football game will overlap with Wahine volleyball, UH should open up the SSC early, say 3:30 or 3:45, show the football game on the new scoreboard screens and start the volleyball game a little later if it’s close, or on time if it’s a blowout.
(Hope they’ve fixed that one screen)
Ajoe – #28 Great post – wellwritten and well said.
papajoe2 – Perfectly said and should be heeded by all.
Pomai,
Warriors 59 Rebels 28 Thanks!
Howzit Kid! 😉
I hope they find a way to televise the UNLV game…or else radio it will be…
One more to go…
BOINK!

Hail to the Redskins!
Yeehaw!!!
During Washington’s scoring drive at the end of the half, I realized that UW would put 3 guys on ONE of our DT’s. QB had all the time in the world to make the TD pass.
We rushing 4 guys, UW has 5 on the line…Triple teaming 1 DT, what happened to the other 3 D-linemen?
Reviewing the game…
The game could have been turned any number of ways… Bright’s dropped pass… Pollard’s fumble on UW’s 5 yd line… Moniz’s interception late in the game… A solid, 3 and out by the Defense in the 1st qtr could have changed the tide… especially after the fumble. [EDIT -added the following] I forgot to add, the late hit penalty against Hawaii in the 3rd qtr gave UW the opportunity to move ahead to 38-24. The Failed onside kick ended all hope.
Nothing that cannot be fixed.
SCam throws for 4+ and 2TD’s in his debut. Wow.
GO Niners!
GO WARRIORS!

JM2375: I sent the following request on Monday, Septembere 5, to Jim Donovan. I have not yet received a response one way or the other.
If there are people here interested in doing this, please call the Department of Athletics.
Meanwhile, if that doesn’t happen, could someone please provide more information as to where the Anasia Cafe is located on Beretania – what major mauka-makai streets is it between. Does it have any veggiebubblion entrees on the menu?
Dont’ forget the HI50 shoot between UH & Pepperdine for an upcoming episode after Saturday’s scheduled match. Those of us planning to take part have been asked to wear tops – tees, sweatshirts, hoodies – with the big green H on the front. My understanding is that the background colors should be green, white or black.
No e after r in September

Have fun and yell for me. While u at it, can u eat for me, too? heheh.
Game replay on ROOT now.
MIH
looking at the error you mentioned. The LB you mentioned (late hit-15yd penalty-UW scores) same LB did the unnecessary selfish dive into the end zone (kick off gets pushed back, other team scores off short field).
He may be fast, quick and probably a good player. BUT being a selfish player in a team sport just does not seem to work. two bonehead plays, two scores by opposing team…is that worth keeping the talent on the field?
Just asking.

Buffoman,
All the players make boneheaded or selfish plays but a lot of those acts are not noticed. If we go by the number of bad decisions on the field would anyone be left to play?
Just asking.
iwwthm #92, no worry. I hope the Warriors put up big numbers and maybe should put up big numbers. I just want them to take care of business and no think they going smash anybody. If everybody on the TEAM focuses and does their job then the game shouldn’t even be close. But stranger things have happened in football. I’m really worried about the second game on the mainland, in the desert, and away from the classroom. Remember the last time the Warriors were in Vegas, it was a result that shouldn’t have happened.

Anyone else think that Sterling Jackson should be #1 at RB? I do. Love the way the guy runs. Better on his feet. Quicker. Better top speed. IMO.
hahaha, almost duplicate post. I tried to correct but both got posted. Oh well, moving closer to 1,000 posts tonight.
Completely worthless, but saw that we made Steve Megargee’s losers list:

papajoe,
i agree that our players and coaches should never take any team for granted. From the mighty to the mighty mice. My take on it was purely from a fan’s perspective.
Be prepared, or Die.
#127,
Is it worthless because we already know about our inability to beat BCS teams on the road? Or because of who it is coming from?
Spot on with this write-up, I truly think this website needs much more consideration. I’ll probably be again to read much more, thanks for that info.

kev-1 (#124): Like the brand new scoreboard, which has not even been in use for a month and is already broken, everything in the Athletic Department seems to be broken. The most critical being the football team.
Heard parts of the game on the radio, finally got to see the replay. I’m glad they played better than it sounded on radio
On offense Udub went back to the basics. They blocked and block some more. Game ball to their O line. They openned cracks(not huge holes) that a back like Pike could exploit. no arm tackling that guy. They mixed a good back and good blocking to set up their passing game. With the threat of a run our D couldn’t seem to generate consistent pressure on their QB. Couldn’t get that guy out of his comfort zone. He passing with a smile on his face all game.
Our O guys played well enough to win most games. Had some drops and missed blocks but what can you do at that time except move on to the next play. Moniz showed his quality. He did bailout the Oline several times with his feet.
Really feel we have a good team, players and coaches. We’ll win way more than we’ll lose. Can’t blame the players or coaches for most miscues made in the heat of battle. They’ll grimmace when they see their errors after watching the film and work to correct them.
Can’t say Udub is better than us. The only difference I saw between the two teams was that Udub was at home and we weren’t.
From Breaking News:
A CHALLENGE TO LAURA: If UH loses at UNLV – even by one point – I’ll donate $50 to your favorite non-profit or to your favorite booster club at your favorite NCAA school. If UH wins by fewer than 15 points, you need to identify yourself by whatever name is on your driver’s license, birth certificate, marriage certificate, passport, or some other legal piece of paper.
If UH wins by 16 or more points, you need to do the identification thing plus never again post anything on this blog or Cindy’s blog.
Walk the talk, dearest.
#133 meant to say Polk. not Pike.
w-doc – i’m in!!! i’ll add another $50 to your wager.

Did you know that out of our O-Line 4 out of 5 are Seniors that never started before? So we have them this year, but next year we will have a brand new O-line and brand new QB.
I never really knew/paid attention until I read an article in the Seattle Times.
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/huskyfootballblog/2016144508_five_questions_on_hawaii.html
W-Doc,
I think they want WVB fans to wear GREEN…
#134: Wow, only 50, add 4 or 5 more zeroes, then I will seriously think about it.
kev-1,
I spoke to Sterling Jackson’s Dad at practice before they left for WA. He’ll be ok. He’s doing really well when he’s in the game.
We lost ONE game and we are a “broken team”?
I have my gripes about our deficiencies and such but I don’t think we are anywhere near “broken”.
The rest of the season is manageable. We don’t play any “big” teams until BYU. The rest of the OOC schedule with UC-Davis, UNLV, Tulane should be 3 wins right there.
If we lose, I would think BYU, La Tech, Utah St are the ones that could do it.
Maybe Mack is rotating the OL players? I dont know. If so, I guess that is what he means.
Ferd only mentions that the selected “starters” are all seniors except Shigematsu who is now out with an injury.

kev-1 (#124): Like the brand new toilet I have, which has not even been in use for a month and is already broken, everything in my house seems to be broken. The most critical being me.
iwonder – re 138 “The 10 man staff averages 50 years per coach and, we suspect, their training table includes Ensure.” lol.

#134: Wow, only 50, add 4 or 5 credits from my EBT card, then I will seriously think about it.
Utah State. Are u on drugs?
USU gave Oklahoma rubs in Norman last season and we trounced them in Logan.
Auburn sucks this year and USU comes here.
Think sensibly.
🙂
Hawaiianbod,
Yep, he all legal beagle now so he doing the 45-hour weekend raid.
No worry. Eat, play, and cheer is the only plan for the duration!
Laura, really? Do you get pleasure making fun of our young student athletes?
Holy Smokes! What a game!
Kevin,
Utah State. I said it sober. I’ll say it again, Utah State. Just so that I am clear.
I’m glad McBriar survived that BP uninjured.
da cowgirls are throwin da game away.
The announcements made at the last two nights was to wear a big green H on white, green or black shirts.
I have seen dark green shirts with the H on them being worn at various events, but I have never seen them for sale in the Rainbowtiques. The fronts or backs sold there usually have small Hs plus the name of the sport or the team along with a ball – volley, basket or foot.
Any idea where to buy a green shirt with a big H on the front.
I also wouldn’t say Auburn “sucks” considering they beat the crap out of #16 Miss St.

Papajoe #123
Remember the last time the Warriors were in Vegas(?)…
What happened? Did we lose…big?
Hawaiianbod, Romo got 27 seconds.
Okay time for a second hand up close and personal story. I was especially happy to see Richard Torres return the int for a TD yesterday. In high school my son and Richard were on opposing judo and wrestling teams. My son did lose once to Richard in wrestling but dominated the other Kahuku Judoka and wrestlers. While they didn’t really know each other in HS they knew of each other. This past summer while my son was at D&B’s this guy walked up to him with no high maka maka and introduced himself as Richard Torres. My son kinda recognized Richard and said eh, you remember me? Richard replied huh? that’s you? They talked about the good old days and cruised a bit. Richard is just one of many outstanding young athletics on the Warrior football team.
Go Warriors!
congrats on a hard game and a tough loss. UNLV will feel the wrath, and in a big way I hope 🙂
GO WARRIORS
GO WILCATS X 2
Nice win for the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets!
IWWTHM,
WANNA BET 2012 SEASON TICKETS ON IT?????
BLACK AND WHITE, WE BEAT USU.
I say we win.. DUUUUUHHHHH…
And apparently you say we lose.
Hey Bulla.
Hope the Beast comes back soon
#168,
Kevin,
I said they are 1 of the teams that could possibly beat us. I would never have believed Idaho could be us until it actually happened.
Sounds like a nice bet and I am a gambler, but I don’t bet against my own team. Sorry.
Iwonder, I think the game annoucers mentioned that. Was Warren Moon the color guy?
So far Gordy Shaw has done wonders with what he’s had to work with. Next year is going to be the same as this and the previous year. Not an outstanding O line but a serviceable one. A big positive is as a group, the O line, has always had the highest participation rate in OS workouts.
Rolo has a deep pool of QB talent to pick from next year. Not worried about it. I trust his ability to customize the O to take advantage of what he has.
I’m glad the OL hasn’t “made” All-conference players out of opposing DE’s to this point. 🙄
Why USU?
Logically I see reasons for concern against BYU and LaTech IN Ruston, but why USU?
Just because of one game against Auburn? At Auburn? So what? Like I said, they did something similar in Norman and some got all worried about us going into Logan for NO reason.
Laura was outed for the 2nd time last week on the vollyball blog.
The dudes last name was posted too.
#173,
They looked good against Auburn and good against Weber. I’ll admit its only 2 games and one is a 1-AA but so far they seemed to have a good offense.
Mostly its just a haunch I that I have. I can see them as a possible Idaho from a couple years ago.
#175 haunch=hunch*
I also had a hunch people should have stopped being all habut about the home game against then #18 Nevada last season.
I screamed for weeks that it’s the SAME Nevada team I’ve been seeing for three years and people scoffed. In the end, the result was the same.
My hunch is that our conference opponents are something we should be familiar with moreso than our non-conference foes. We see them every season and we should just know.
Same for USU, just another year with USU coming into Aloha Stadium and we win.
Yup, the line is -17 to -19.5.
I really like our game against La Tech this year. They’ll play Houston then Miss St right before they play us. La Tech is a pretty solid balanced team but Houston and Miss St will soften them up for us.
WDoc – save yo money. Laura/ClownNose = Steve Imai
Looking ahead.. Hard to dicipher your opponent strengths and weakness based on 2 games. but the next 4 opponents Pass Efficiency Defense Rank can give early tell-tale signs..
Pass Efficiency Defense Rank
UNLV – 120th
UC Davis – 95th FCS Div
La Tech – 54th for now.. Houston, Miss St then UH
SJSU – 97th
We’re 114th not so good but 27th in run defense. I suspect the coaches will get it balanced and make a strong run at the WAC title.
save yo money, hope you feel better. Many people could have posted what you did but refrained. Laura could learn a lot about blog etiquette but so can you.
have You ever posted under a differenct name.
OC 12 replaying the FB game at 7 p.m. tonight
ralph,

I hope Hawaii ween…
evening.

Just got back from jets game… Awesome experience…. Makes saturdays uw loss less painful…
**and HOW they are doing throughout the season. Sorry.
WarriorNY,
Nice! 🙂
,,,and a heckuva game, too!
gmahoney,
you’re welcome. i made it because i wanted to see how everyone else does too. and i figured, hey, why not share it?
If Utah ST comes in and we blow them outta the stadium, trust me I won’t be shed a single tear that I’m wrong. I’d probably shed a tear if I’m right.
Gunfunit! I don’t believe it! I messed up my copy of the game & I didn’t see it on tonight’s schedule. What a dufus! (as one of my rommates used to say) Thanks for posting the “heads up”, Ralph. If I hadn’t been cooking dinner, I would have caught it in time. Tsigh.
Mahalo, chawan_cut! Nice table.

Thanks for a brilliant post.
Just found out that Pinky’s Pupu Bar & Grill across from the Aikahi Park Shopping Center in Kailua has a small party room which could probably accommodate about 15 -18 people. The room has a HUGE flat screen tv set – in addition to reasonably-priced great food.
If we have a larger crowd than 20, then we can take over the lounge area which has three or four tv sets.
The away games after this coming week are LaTech (Saturday, Oct. 1 – 1 pm); San Jose State (Friday, October 14 – 3 pm); Idaho (Saturday, October 29 – 11 am); Nevada (Saturday, November 12 – 1:05 pm). All times local.
I suggest the LaTech game – no time conflict with volleyball. If there’s any interest, I’ll be glad to make arrangements.
As for the San Jose State game – major time conflict with those folks who have to be at work until 5 pm.
BEautiful full moon rise tonight.
made it?
one more
got it. Gohu tomorrow. Good night.
Nevada, Utah State and Idaho has byes before facing Hawaii. Hawaii is at Utah State.
ST:
One of the criticisms of the internet – and blogs in particular – is the fact that many people do their character assassinations by hiding their identities behind blog names. As you may have read about cyber-bullying and trolls and the resultant problems, perhaps it’s time to have the bloggers stop using pseudonyms and start using their real names.
Saturday Nov 5th.
Utah State is AT Aloha Stadium.
iwwthm-
Its okay to have haunches. Lotsa folks do.
The ole blog is hoppin’ tonight.
Tom –
Then some folks would just end up changing their names. 😆
Utah State can have a whole month off.
Won’t mean squat.
I use firefox and some nights at 12:00 exactly or 12:30 exactly, firefox stops working and does not load a page. The internet connection is perfectly fine though because it says excellent. I am connected to a home router and the signal strength is always excellent. I do not know why this happens at exactly 12:00 or 12:30 on my desktop time but it’s a pain. I’ve tried “ping”ing and everything looks fine..
Tom,
It drives up the post count. Well, not needed so much here but other blogs, those that even tolerate and encourage such behavior need the blog counts I guess….
Tom,
That’s why I called it out.
Someone tried to make me look like a bitch on here and I backed up my mouth.
I welcome a challenge, especially face to face.
Think of all the people that fought for freedom of speech only to see cowards abusing it knowing they can cite it.
More disgusting is people defending that notion.
Lost a friend in Iraq a year ago.
Don’t tell me freedom of speech is a “right”. It’s a damn privilege. Privileges can be taken away. Perhaps we should “explore” that.
Someone refresh my memory please. Why is SJSU game on a Friday? Is it on ESPN?
WDoc – Pinky’s would be good for at least one tv-gate. I can make all except the LaTech game. (People should know better than to schedule major events on Saturdays from September to early December! 😈 )
Old Diver, how have you been? It is unfortunate that Hawaii started slow against Washington, they should have killed those guys. Oh well, payback in LV won’t be too bad huh?
Oh and Laura, what is the problem here? Don’t be a hater and bag on UH, these kids give it all they have, no matter if they are six foot 9 or 4 foot 8.
But then again, I bet you are an Irish fan huh Laura…
What were you doing ten years ago to this day?
Me: I was sleeping in. My mom called me to tell me what had happened. I still remember that day like it was yesterday.
Before you go to sleep tonight, pray for those that died and sacrificed their life for our freedom and be thankful you live in the GREAT U S of A. Be proud to be an American!!! God bless America!!!

Tom – I’ve posted this before, but for safety’s sake, the Tsaikettes should be allowed to post under one, and only one, blog name. The true Tsaikettes have stuck to that edict anyways…
BG808,
I’ve been watching some of the programs today. It is so sad thinking about all who were lost. It generates anger to think our country was attacked. Say a prayer for those who were killed and those who remain. [I was getting ready for work and just happened to be watching the morning news. Heavy heart.]
God bless you all!
Kevin, you right about Utah State playing here. My bad.I must have read the schedule wrong. Imua Warriors.
Papajoe don’t blame the public schools for your pitfalls in reading comprehension.
Your golf mates better double check your scorecard tomorrow, your math may be suspect as well.
nytal!
Good morning Tsaikos…
Way to go J-E-T-S! Gawwwwwd I hate the Cowboys. Rex Grossman with a 110 passer rating yesterday? Yeah baby!
Just noticed that the Oklahoma – Florida St. game will be on while we’re “tailgating” in a casino in Vegas. Should be a lively sportsbook!
As for the discussion on our future opponents, I look forward to seeing our run D up against good competition. Fresno St., Utah St., and La Tech have talented backs in Robbie Rouse, Robert Turbin, and Lennon Creer, respectively, that should give our D a decent challenge.
…off to work.
TSAI-KOS IN LAS VEGAS THIS WEEKEND
Are there any who would attend the Friday dinner/karaoke call and/or the Fiesta Henderson tailgate IF they had a ride/carpool to the event?
If so, please post your request here on the blog.
Hopefully a known friend will contact you.
If someone wants to offer a ride privately, but does not know the requester, I will attempt to put them in contact via email. Let me know.

Exactly one week before 9/11, my wife to be, at that time, left here and got on a connecting United flight from Kennedy Airport in NYC to Paris.
I remember 9/11, I was laying in my bedroom … just got through chatting with my wife to be who was now back home in Paris, my eyes bloodshot.. ready to close … watching TV when the initial broadcast came over.. I watched as the first building shattered and started to crumble… and I thought.. wow!.. incredible graphics.. so much detail.. who did the special effects… but they kept showing it.. and I kept disbelieving… over and over… over and over.. until it finally sank in and then my mind went numb.
It was a life changing moment. My priorities changed from that moment.. but that’s a different story.
Kevin,
I enjoy your posts, one of the more outspoken regulars. Sorry you lost a friend in Iraq.
When I started UH the Vietnam war was in full swing. Can’t say I lost a friend in combat but I can say I lost freinds because of their service there. Their guard unit from here was activated for combat duty there. The stress of jungle combat got to them. While here on R&R they show me some things I will never forget. One was photos that can best described as man’s inhumanity to man. Said their unit was just doing to VC bodies what the VC was doing to US bodies. Another thing was when they took out cigarettes, rolled the filter area until the filter popped out. The filter had been cut to about a third of it’s size. They then poured out a white powder which was heroin. Said it made them feel emotionally numb. To make a long story short within two years one died of a H overdose and the other commited suicide. Both were younger than 25.
I tell you this because it seems there’s a generational divide between your views and mine on freedom of speech. I’m of the Vietnam War/Flower generation. This era reaffrimed the right of freedom of speech. Any special interest group could gather their supporters and publicly air their views. Public protests and demonstations were common place. While I never participated in any I supported a group or person’s right to do so.
Two of the popular utterances of this era was, freedom is not free and I may not agree with what you are saying but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

After TWO Games of Playing Mostly Three Quarters …
Now Learning to Play Four Full Quarters …
UH 52 UNLV 17
[— i think we still would win at least 4 of 10 games played @ Seattle …
and 6 of 10 in Hawai’i; got out-coached for too many big plays in this one … even Darius and Aaron “needed” to get more of those mistakes out of their system a week earlier … curious to hear what lessons learned …]
Today is going to be a great day!
Has to be. Right? You are alive. You can read.
Whoo-hoo!!!
Today is the 8th straight day of 80+ temperatures up here.
A new record.
Ralph, You think they let me keep score? You kidding right?
Aloha Kakahiaka!
Go Warriors!
#224 – cocobean – I don’t talk much about this time frame of my life, but what I can say is that people who were not there have no idea of what went on and the mental toll it took on us that were. Some of us are lucky enough to be able to handle some not so lucky.
We who were there weren’t fighting for your freedom of speech, we were military people following orders. Now those who fought in WWII and those who are fighting now are fighting are fighting no only for our freedom of speech but our freedom period, they both fought and are fighting against others who want to destroy our freedom.
I like this quote from the movie “American President”
America isn’t easy. America is advanced citizenship. You gotta want it bad, ’cause it’s gonna put up a fight. It’s gonna say “You want free speech? Let’s see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who’s standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours. You want to claim this land as the land of the free? Then the symbol of your country can’t just be a flag; the symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest. Show me that, defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms. Then, you can stand up and sing about the “land of the free”.
It is a very difficult thing to be free.
Sorry for the rant, (stepping down from soapbox)
Pomai,
Warriors 62
Rebels 24
Great Morning All!
Hoping the Warriors smooth out the rough edges this week and exceed “expectations”.
A lot of fans will be putting our money where our mouths are. (Sorry Kevin, but when in Rome…)
Pomai ~ It was a matter of survival. The deal was, make that other S.O.B. die for his country.
“ferd” mentioned the LV Hilton Sports Book this morning. For those who are venturing to LV this week, found this note in the Las Vegas Advisor
and from the “Forewarned Dept.”
Those who are thinking about going to those famous Pool Parties:
Ewwwwww….
BYOIP
bring your own inflatable pool :>
Pomai – That was not a rant you stated, it was a fact.
Thank you for that post
Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂
Nice perspective, Mr. Pomai.
