Big thanks to Kelly Majam and Kaia Parnaby for appearing on today’s Warrior Beat Show.

I would say it’s interesting that the Washington Redskins signed quarterback Rex Grossman, who played for Redskin offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan in Houston last year. Then again, I saw Colt Brennan a week ago, and he’s in great shape and healthy for the first time since September 2007. Game on.

Happy birthday to the mother of all Web hosts — Esme Infante-Nii. (OK, that sentence looks a little weird when it’s actually written. But I digress.)
* * * * *
Congrats to Rico “Suave” Nakashima — son of a former UH track coach and an ex-Rainbow Dancer — for earning a spot on the new Hawaii Five-0.
Lets Go Bows!
Go Green!
Good Morning Tsaikos!!
Happy Birthday to Esme!!
How the heck did you post twice a second after I hit the send button?
quick as one swift 🙂
Women’s softball is awesome, much more exciting than men’s. IMHO
The haka is an impressive move.
need more info on men’s basketball search. got any scoops st?
Now, now, NYUH:
There’s nothing like a slow-pitch league where Chico Furtado was a shortstop. The man has range (I guess it’s because he didn’t have all of those keys attached to his pants, like he does when he coaches basketball.)
top ten!
papajoe2:
Is it true that Gib Arnold also is interviewing at Boise State? (He coached in the area, and his father lives in Boise.)
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I got my UH green on.
Redskins sign Rex Grossman. What does that do for Colt Brennan?
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/redskins-sign-rex-grossman.html?wpisrc=nl_sports
Go Esme, it’s your birthday, we gon’ party like it’s your birthday.
And the top of the morning to ya Hawaii!
OK, now I understand:
Quick as one Society for Worldwide Internet Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT).
Good morning tsaikos!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ESME!
Oh, great. How do we announce Διογένης ὁ Σινωπεύς
Lawyers. What can you do about them?
Once again, because I was preoccupied with my favorite subject — me — I didn’t realize the softball team was playing tonight.
And that’s why I get paid the little deer instead of the big bucks.
We had a mini-mini Roosevelt reunion yesterday, and I called Colt to say hi to my classmate Laureen (Uno) Uwaine.
He asked her if the blog host was cool in high school.
Laureen told him: Oh, no, he was a nerd back then.
To which I wonder: When did I stop being a nerd?
Swift as in Fuel Air Spark Technology (FAST)
chopsueyboy & ST,
I heard about that revolting development of Grossman signing with the Redskins.
And yes, I know that Colt is the type of guy that embraces (rather than shies away from) competition. That’s IF it’s a legitimate shot at competition. It’s just irritating along with the possibility, if not likelihood, of them drafting a high-profile college QB.
What’s wrong with Cleveland, the New Yorks, Jacksonville, Indianapolis and a host of other teams from inquiring about getting Colt for peanuts/ extremely low draft choice?
ST, today you’re a Saint!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
As long as it’s not fast as in I don’t get to eat today.
I think in a capped year, CB has an advantage.
He’s healthy, been studying for two years, and he’s affordable. That along with being a good quarterback.
Unfortunately, this is an uncapped year. Money is no object, and Daniel Snyder has a lot of money.
Oh no, don’t eat fast. You should masticate sloooooooowly.
some how Gib Arnold doesn’t excite me as much as the other coaches that JD interviewed. maybe its his father thing or the Punahou thing. I still support the basketball team and coach whoever will be hired until they start putting on a boring, losing show. first year losing is a given, but, seeing improvement in style of play and clock management would be nice.
#25 Haka
some people have a significant other and no need masticate slowly. bwhahahahaha.
What’s a five tool centerfield?
Good Green Morning Tsaikos on St Paddy’s:
Ralph: The beans are green too
Psophocarpus tetragonolobus=Wing Bean, Goa Bean
leirang.com/2009/12/11/tenou-manbi-winged-bean/
Five tools: Hit for average, hit for power, run, field, throw.
I guess there’s a sixth, if you listen to the guy who keeps yelling: A walk is as good as a hit.
What’s that line from Hook?
He’s so fast, he’s fast asleep.
Go Esme, its your birthday, we gon’ party like its your birthday.
Happy St. Patty’s day. Drink a lot of green beer.
Aloha Kelly and Kaia,
What was the ultimate deciding factor in your individual choices to play for the University of Hawaii?
Colt get chance, Rex Grossman is a decent backup not starter, they released ancient Todd Collins, Jason Campbell well he’s better suited as a quality backup to me and spot starter then a full time starter as he’s proven he’s inconsistent and well not that great. I’m sure Colt if given the chance with Shanahan, he could turn the Redskins around…
Kelly,
You seem like a very intense and competitive person on the field, is this something natural or was it developed over the years?
Kaia,
You seem like a very relaxed indivdual on the mound, is that natural for you or is it like taking away something from your opponents and not letting them see any kind of stress or panic during games?
Kelly & Kaia,
You are both majoring in kinesiology. What do each of you plan to do with your degree?
Kelly,
After your injury last season, did it give you a new appreciation for the game and for your “gift” of being able to still play softball at a high level afterwards?
Good morning!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ESME!!!
Weather NOW looks good for softball.
Kaia,
How much did you know about Hawaii’s softball program before Coach Coolen started recruiting you?
Kelly and Kaia,
What are your individual mindsets the day after a win and after a loss?
There are city folks around the country who dump green dye in their rivers or lakes to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Aren’t we the lucky ones, we got the Ala Wai 24/7 so no need.
Kelly and Kaia,
What is your favorite “Coolen-ism”? If you don’t have one maybe you can ask Stephen Tsai for one.
Kelly and Kaia,
In your opinions, what aspect of the team’s performance are you both happy with thus far and what other areas would need improvement going forward into conference play?
Hey ladies. Are both of you single?
Good morning Tsaikos….
Happy Birthday Esme!!!!! Must feel good to be 29…MWAHAHAHAHHA
“Go Esme, it’s your birthday, we gon’ party like it’s your birthday…we gon’ sip Bacardi like it’s your birfday….you know that we don’t give a….it’s not your birfday…”…..whoops, added the last few lines….MWAHAHHAHAHA
Kelly and Kaia,
Last question, I promise!!! What are your individual goals for this season and the next? Thank you very much for choosing to play and represent the University of Hawaii and the people of Hawaii and I think I speak for many of the softball fans when I say we look forward to watching your careers evolve in the years to come!
What??…Esme has another birthday? Whoa! That’s the 3rd one this year!! Kden…
Go Esme, it’s your birthday, we gon’ party like it’s your birthday
Good morning everyone!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ESME !!!
Go Esme, it’s your birthday, we gon’ party like it’s your birthday
Good morning Tsai-kos!! Happy St. Paddy’s Day!
Feliz cumpleanos, Esme!
re: Redskins – I have 2 questions (from a clueless wahine):
1) Is Grossman really the #2 or do they expect him to challenge Campbell?
2) Are they still looking to draft a qb (e.g. Bradford) in the first round? I’d prefer they look at drafting OL or backfield. Portis is getting older and frequently injured.
I know it’s early, but, who’s going to the volleyball game on Friday?
Go Esme, it’s your birthday, we gon’ party like it’s your birthday
Aren’t March bebe’s the BESTEST???!!!
Happy Birthday, Esme!!
Oh! Good morning, Tsaiko Ohana! Long time no see…..
Whatever reason Joe Jellybean Bryant was eliminated as candidate for the UH head BB position couodn’t be lack of coaching at college level. He was an assistant coach at his alma mater Laselle University. He was coach of Bob Nash’s son Bobbie at Shiga Lakestars in Japan. Jellybean comes to Hawaii a lot. Put on many coaching clinics here even at Manoa. Loves Hawaii as son Kobe does. Like JJ and McMackin who love Hawaii, and tell their recruits they not only love Hawaii but love living here. JJ left but not because he hates Hawaii. It’s an issue he will address when time is right and JJ still plans to retire and live here. Jellybean would probably tell recruits the same. Who of all these 6 plus coaches JD interviewed could genuinely say the same? Who among them can tell blue chippers “I played in the NBA and can teach you how to get there?”. Who among them can tell blue chippers my son is a future hall of famer and in his free time may even join me and can give you pointers on how to improve your game. And hesitant to come to Hawaii 4-5 stars may think “If Kobe’s father thinks Hawaii is good enough for him than it’s good enough for me”. It’s all mute as Jellybean is no longer being considered. But in our cash strapped state and how he could bring fans back to the Stanley, I can’t help dreaming.
Go Esme, it’s your birthday, we gon’ party like it’s your birthday
Go Esme, it’s your birthday, we gon’ party like it’s your birthday
good morning and luck of the irish to tsaikos country
hippo birdie two ewe esmeeeeeeeeee
its also hump day and couple days way from weekend babe
One more time before I have to get to work….
“Go Esme, it’s your birthday, we gon’ party like it’s your birthday…we gon’ sip Bacardi like it’s your birfday….you know that we don’t give a….it’s not your birfday…”…..whoops, added the last few lines….MWAHAHHAHAHA
Happy St. Paddy’s Day!
jm2375,
I’ll be at the MVB game on Friday. There’s also a WVB game versus AZ on Thursday that I forgot about.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ESME!!!
Go Esme, it’s your birthday, we gon’ party like it’s your birthdayGo Esme, it’s your birthday, we gon’ party like it’s your birthday
Go Esme, it’s your birthday, we gon’ party like it’s your birthday
c’mon kazz….ask em.
Go Esme, it’s your birthday, we gon’ party like it’s your birthday
the one interviewee that surfaces questions in my mind is that former utah hc now at gonzaga.
after that first year of success he experienced two years of nosediving until they went sub .500. he “resigned” under buyout provisions which virtually meant he was asked to leave.
not sure if we want the scenario here. he does have the most experience of them all, however………..
that colorado assistant, if he is interviewed may be the darkhorse.
still wondering why jarrin akana hasn’t applied.
My ear is ringing again. 🙄
Jellybean should be considered the tie in to Kobe is INTRIGUING!
GOOD MORNING TSAIKO NATION!!!
Kekoa (from previous thread)…perhaps Coach Mac and JD would allow a pilot project with volunteers doing the input. Wouldn’t cost them anything, but they would see the wisdom in a couple of years…the compliance office too. The system would be light years ahead of any other school and wouldn’t take too long for ALL of the other UH sports to join in.
SteveM
Thanks for keeping the “other” site front and center. At the end of last season, we finally found out that they were going to release the site(s) to the public and we’ve jumped on it.
Kekoa, Sailor Blue, we should coordinate on making reservations NOW. Kekoa and I can get the short term, but we need the big gun trained on the long range target. When I went to make the reservation for the practice T-Gate, I was told the office by Schooner’s no longer handles that…gotta go in to Pearl Harbor! Now I need to call and ask if any other guidelines for reservations have changed besides the office location.
Best scene from the movie “Hook” is when the pirates had a baseball game and someone from the stands yells: “HE’S STEALING SECOND!!!” and some other pirate in the stands shoots the runner dead. 😆 😆 😆
(I DON’T CARE WHO YOU ARE! THAT’S FUNNY!!!)
Then there was that time another pirate got accidentally shot by Captian Hook when Robin Williams pulled out his checkbook.
Hmmm… For a “kid’s movie” there was a lot of “shooting” huh?
Still funny though. I think I was like 8 years old when that movie came out…
Stephen, a walk is as good as a hit. So’s a bean ball. Take one for the team!
And I think you stopped being a nerd when we all found out you could make us laugh. If you can make people laugh, you automatically come off the nerd list.
#24 ST – Unfortunately, this is an uncapped year. Money is no object, and Daniel Snyder has a lot of money.
But he didn’t get all that money by spending it when he didn’t have to, an with Colt he doesn’t have to.
Tombo Ahi
Super congratulations on your newest little Warrior! You add so much to SH and WB sites!
None of the coaches that have been interviewed excite me but that is probably because I know very little about them. They will have to start winning to gain my interest.
Kobe’s daddy on the other hand already has it.
NOPE!!
Would be cool if we could see the list of the 40 applicants.
“A walk is as good as a hit”…
Dunno much about Lipscomb but for CAL that is the case considering their ability to steal bases… 😡
I am not saying Jellybean would be a guarantee winner here. I am saying in our near bankrupt state with UH dying for bucks and hard to get 3-4-5 star recruits to join us, there is nothing to lose in giving Jellybean a chance. Conan O’brien was thought to be the new messiah when he took over the Tonight show. Didn’t work out. But we would never have known unless we took that chance. Jay Leno reclaimed his show and now beating David Letterman in ratings. Jellybean may not hit home runs every appearance at the plate but he sure would create an exciting environment. Father of future hall of famer. He himself a veteran of the NBA. It’s a slam dunk choice never to happen. Wouldn’t we all want the Fabulous Five days revived? I sure would. I can’t wait another 30 plus years. I will be dead of old age. You will never ever have a NBA veteran with a future hall of famer son ever apply for a UH job again. Let’s do it. We would never have planes if the Wright brothers didn’t take chances. We may never have radios if Marconi didn’t follow his dreams. If UH was rich like Notre Dame than I can see JD’s logic.
Go Esme, it’s your birthday, we gon’ party like it’s your birthday
Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Tombo Ahi-
You da Man, and now you da Daddy! Thats a very cute lili rascal ya have there! Congrats to you and Mommy.
Happy Birthday Ms Esme!
Go Esme, it’s your birthday, we gon’ party like it’s your birthday!
I would love to see Colt as a Minnesota Viking!
BIK
Go Esme, it’s your birthday, we gon’ party like it’s your birthday
Looking forward to watching my Niece Haunani Momoa make her coaching debut at Nanakuli HS tonite. She tells me her boys are hungry for a taste of victory.
Tsaikette fans of the old Battle Star Atlantis TV series might remember her ‘hunky’ cousin, Jason Momoa. He still sports his super long *Dreds.*
Had to open my stupid mouth… 🙁
Lots of humidity outside… Ground heating up very well… Dark clouds forming overhead and drooling over Manoa…
Relaying reports of a Holy Man with a staff ascending the cliffs of Puowaina in an effort to keep area free of coqui frogs….
Happy St. DPK Day!
Kekoa – it’s Stargate Atlantis and don’t you remember when he was on Baywatch Hawaii (no dreads).
Kazz – just go with your rain gear. 😆
I was wondering where Koakane was today…
LizK is more knowledgeable, but my opinion on Colt’s situation is that Grossman was brought in because of Kyle Shanahan’s familiarity with him. I agree with others who think he is not a long term answer at QB. Campbell’s too expensive as a former #1 pick to sit on the bench. They have to play him or trade him. It was too bad Colt was on injured reserve and couldn’t get any playing time last year. He could have been well positioned this year.
HC Shanahan probably wants to build the way he did at Denver. To do that he needs a running game. A running game needs a good O-line so it makes sense to use their top draft pick to that end. If that happens, Grossman can be effective as he sometimes was at Chicago. Colt will be the wildcard. Pre-season will be crucial.
Personally, I’d like to see him get a shot at the starting job this year. If not, going elsewhere would be/could be a better deal. Especially a team that runs a 4 wide attack out of the shotgun.
JM,
I don’t care about the rain on myself, the condition of the softball field is another thing. So far, we’ve been lucky and no rainouts at home. Last season I think had one.
At least if one of or both the softball games rainout tomorrow I can just head over to catch the exhibition Wahine Volleyball game at 7. Tonight, there is no consolation… If tonight’s softball game is rained out. It’s back to sulking in rainy afternoon rush hour traffic or not depending on how late the decision is made to cancel the game.
You silly goose!
I’ll tell ya though, they sure seem to have lots of those brown lizards ’round here, I counted six in a ten by twelve area in our yard this mornin’.
And it WILL take an act of God to keep those Coquis from makin’ house on Oahu.
All Colt needs is a chance.
Nuff said.
Saw somewhere in the ether that Jellybean wasn’t granted an interview.
What’s the harm in talkin’ to the man? Just sayin’.
Kelly
Have you ever played baseball when you were younger and would you give it a try after college?
Baseball as opposed to softball.
With your swing, you’d make one heck of a golfer!
🙂
Happy Birthday Esme! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!!
Ho, Ho, Ho, it’s not Christmas, but Esme’s b-day and a Happy one to you!!
We have frogs in Palisades. Not those Coquis ones but just plain frogs I guess. Came home late one night and saw something leap in the shadows next to my mailbox.
I think it was a frog, but then again there was no banjo.
Either that, or no more absenth after midnight for me. 😯
Kelly-
Was there a coach or a technique which helped you to develop your intensity and focus?
When I see you coming up to bat and when you’re on base, opposing players and coaches must be thinking” here comes trouble!” You have a very intimidating aura, I love it!
99
DPK,
Dey u go!
Another player fo spak with intensity and “presence” is Jenna Rodriguez. Especially when she is called in to pitch. Saw her in the fall against Chaminade and what Coach Coolen said about her mound presence alone is pretty much dead on and she was throwing some HEAT too. She came in relief against DePaul on Saturday for Parnaby and she just has “it” on the mound. Unfortunately for her, with Parnaby and Ricketts being the ACES, she’s not going to get much time, barring some sort of injury or drop off in play from the top two. Plus, she’ll only have next season as a senior and Parnaby will only be a sophomore and Ricketts only a junior.
jmxxxx ~ Yeah, that Stargate, Starlite-Starbright, is all Hollywood tho. Jason is cool and a very down to earth local boy. Diana records every episode.
However, Haunani is the ultimate Warrior. Doze Nanakuli boys have nuttin’ but respect for her!…or she simply slams 102 mph volleyball balls at them. That can rearrange your facial profile and give you a new outlook on life at the same time!
Questions for the Lady Softball Jammers!
What is it like to represent our humble Hawaiian State?
Does it make you stand a bit taller when your names are announced.
Do you see yourself in about 10 years – giving back to the program?
Good thing Quentin Beaver isn’t a guest on the show.
Otherwise Kazz would definitely not let anyone have a chance to get a question in.
C’mon Kazz….no sked….ask the ladies if they have “significant others”????
Glad to hear Gib “nailed” the interview.. I dont know if it’s a good thing if we wait too long with other jobs popping up across the country. Hope JD is able to land his top guy instead of settling on number 2
How much of a “gimmick” would it be to hire Joe Bryant as HC of Hawaii’s basketball team?
Would other schools look down on UH? Heck, most of them already do “so what’s da problem?”
Another coach may stay 3 years if successful and then move on; if “jelly Bean” stays 3 years, what’s the diff?
I think JD should really “think outside the box” on this one as the “benefits” may be much more than what others may bring to Hawaii.
Kobe Bryant is not one of my most favoriate persons, but if he will visit and make the Hawaii players better all the power to him as a person and NBA player. Self interest, you say, than tell or show me where self-interest has never been a primary reason for doing something. Most if not all do it!!!
Jellybean Bryant is almost 60 and has been out of collegiate coaching for a long time. Thank you JD for looking elsewhere. UH needs a exciting young coach that will (hopefully) coach here for the next 15- 20 years.
#93 Amen, bro.
…but I wonder what Pete Carroll could do with CB as a Seahawk…eh coach, you’ve already traded Seneca Wallace away, why not try pry Colt from the redskins and geevum a chance brah? oh wait a minute, Seahawks no mo’ o-line…
What about Craig Robinson @ Oregon St – Obama’s brother in law.. He would be an interesting candidate if he applied.
Agree no Beantown town in Manoa please!
Stretch: #77….C’mon..no hate…Just cause Esme’s prettier than you!
Hehehe…
…oh, one noddah ting coach Pete…get one L & L in Renton not far from Seahawks HQ so it’s not like Colt going get homesick you know…
(J)James,
Cmon now. Don’t let Al influence you.
Hmm, I’m not getting any sound from this video.
no audio with Majam and Parnaby, bummers!
Boo, no sound on the video
Not sure why there is an audio problem! Online staff has been alerted. I asked if they can restart show…
Yay, we have sound!
*peeks in the clubhouse door, grinning*
ALOHA, TSAIKO OHANA!!!
Gosh! Thank you SO much for all the burpday wishes!
I’m really very touched. This place is kinda like the bar in that old series “Cheers” — you know, the whole “place where everybody knows your name.” Except that I haven’t been around these environs that much lately. So I’m especially touched that so many of you still remember me and took the time to wish me happy birthday. HUGE MAHALO!
*fist bumps all around*
But … cheez whiz, ST. Of all the unflattering pics you possess of me, you had to use THAT uniquely unflattering one?! ;P (I will say, though, that I still proudly own that shirt. Once a Bomber, always a Bomber!) ;D
P.S. Sorry to have barged in, in the middle of the show. But I’m hitting the road for the rest of the day and just wanted to make sure I tell you guys thanks. Gomen nasai … please, back to the WB! 😉
Very true but not ALL March babies are.
Was just thinking, having a winning program, an low ticket prices doesn’t mean that fans will show up. Example Wahine Softball, they have a winning program and you can’t get lower than FREE, yet they don’t get very much fan support.
Seems to me that the UH faithful are letting these girls down. To me they represent the true student athlete they play for the love of the game and not a shot at the pro payday.
Whoosh! Hiya! ST:
“I get paid the little deer instead of the big bucks.”
Should read… “I get paid the little doe instead of the big bucks.”
“As long as it’s not fast as in I don’t get to eat today.”
Welcome fellow-faster!
As for Colt- I’m just a fan… and my gut says- this is Colt’s time.
New Coach is shaking the tree to change the mindsets and see which branches need pruning to shape it into something new.
With Colt’s winning attitude and winning ways – even though he has been away from the field for so long – will pop back into place. If Coach has a clear vision of what it takes to have a winning team, Colt will be there, front and center.
Happpeeee Birfdaaaayyy, Esme!
HiHo!
Pomai – #123 – I think that’s true for all the non-revenue sports, esp water polo, swimming, diving, track, sailing & tennis, but the athletes get their education paid for, and I think that’s the main point.
oh yeah…
Nice show today.
Very LOUD too!
whoosh!
Pomai,
I’ve been able to consistently make it to the softball games only since last season and if I were to GUESS, the average attendance is about 80.
Now, if one were to look at the national average in Division I, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was around that figure or even just a little more.
Their 2007 season to the WAC title and a Super Regional appearance drew the attention of a lot of us and the subsequent “project” in which you spearheaded was another “event’ that drew some of us a little closer to the program.
For me, being at the games and kinda seeing how it’s run takes me back to the days when I used to play team sports and there was that “grass-roots” feel to it where everyone directly involved literally gets involved. Even their post game BBQs with their head coach providing his grilling skills at times reminds me of the purity that can be found in what is now the BIG BUSINESS NCAA.
Yet to do it all on the Division I level is unappreciated and overlooked.
Hard not to root for this program and the others like it at UH Manoa… But I cannot sit and watch golf or tennis. 😎
Hmmm… Only if there was NCAA D1 Nutball… I’d try to make a comback for a masters at UH. 😆
(What’s “nutball”? Don’t ask… Could be coming to a t-gate near YOU!!!)
What’s so special on 4/17/10?
A-House,
I have to go double check but I think the Warriors got a Saturday practice scrimmage on that day.
Nutball cannot be played or isn’t usually played with a ball of sorts.
It’s usually a half-empty water bottle, a bowling pin, etc…
No like waste time.
Oh…
Those dark clouds loom overhead here in East Oahu. 😡
Happy Birthday Esme.
Kazz & Pomai & others,
Took the words right out of my mouth. Unfortunately will miss a few events as I caught a cold & don’t want to make fellow Tsaikos sick. Would drop attendance even lower at the SB games, nyuk nyuk!
If the new HC for UH basketball is moderately successful, I doubt he would stay beyond 5 years if a BCS school comes calling – more pay, better facilities, better players/recruits, better connections, etc. – especially the Big East or ACC where basketball rules!!
No matter how you look at it, UH is but a mere stepping stone to something bigger and better.
Kazz:
Warrior scrimmage, but not near Aloha Stadium, right?
So, party up and go to the site?
Stretch: re #122…Sorry…should have been more specific:
Don’t hate just cause I’m prettier than you, too.
😉
Pride-
It looks like his age mighta had something to do with it.
Do you have any favorites at this point?
Happy birthday, Esme!
Finally legal in Vegas!!!
Happy Birthday, Esme!
And thank you guys for the baby congrats. I miss you, sleep.
To practice our tailgating, need to work on the 40’s maybe even the 220’s, have to work on the arm/hand/mouth coordination.
40 and 220 ounce containers?
Pomai:
Roger that!!!
wafan:
only a very few Tsaikos can handle that – maybe,not even koakane!!
Pomai,
Shall we see you in the quarry tonight at 6pm?
Rainbow Wahine Softball (18-9) versus Lipscomb Lady Bison (19-4) 😯
6:00 PM
LIVE on K5
Oh Lord…
Lunch was catered from Taco DeMar… I’ve never had a problem with Mexican food, or should I say “Tex-Mex”…
Gonna have to “pre-game” it here at work. Not too keen on the public restroom at UH… 😯
Go Esme, it’s your birthday, we gon’ party like it’s your birthda
Shucks, almost forgot!
Congratulations to the new mommy and daddy, the Tombow Ahi’s!!!
Go Esme, it’s your birthday, we gon’ party like it’s your birthday
What is Suave’s role in 5-0? I hope he is not the token local guy that brings the local-flavor to the show much as Lucky Luck, Hilo Hattie, Lippy Espinda, J. Akuhead Pupule, et al.
Make sure he is not wearing the red shirt — for the old Star Trek buffs!!!
Down to the mid-20’s tonight. More scraping tomorrow morning. Good thing no precipitation coming in.
Never ate at Taco DelMar. They serve some bumbucha-sized burritos. Do not know about the quality, though. Maybe not up to the Tsai-ko quality but definitely Tsai-ko size.
I like turtles.
Is this real life?
How was The WATS? I gave up trying to watch it because of the video problems. Hope both wahine had a good time visiting and answering questions!
Go Wahine (in another hour)!!!
I can do 8 hrs and 16 ounce containers while you pass out after 15 min of 40 and 220 ounce containers
getting ready to pass the torch back to the original handler for the 4/17/10 practice and 2010 season.
160
Is everyone getting ready to watch the Wahine beat some Bison?
Male and female bison look very similar — well, not to bison, I guess.
Bison Burgers are served up here in a sporting goods store (Cabela’s). Good stuff! Lean, tasty and juicy. Yum.
Hi wafan,
I wish more places would sell bison burgers here (for a reasonable price, hopefully). Remember eating some at a Food & Product Show ages ago. Just as you said, was really good. I’m surprised it hasn’t become more popular in our health-conscious society.
wasn’t someone raising bison on Kauai ?
wafan – ask your kauai friend.
where’s the (buffalo) beef ?
Yikes!!!!
Lipscomb just beat #13 CAL 1-0.
Lipscomb with 7 hits and no errors. CAL with ONE hit and one error.
😯
😯
What!!? Get -mahu-bison now? 🙄 😆 😆
Bozo Burgers! in Boardman, OR Yum!

I thought there was a bison farm on the Big Island too.
Does BigislandKurt know??
BIK or BHF2,
Anybody know if there’s bison a-roaming where you are?
βρεω808,
Bison used to have “Don’t ask, don’t tell”? 😯
bi-bison? 😯 😀 🙄
~~•~~~~•~~~~•~ ★ ★ ★ Go WAHINE!!! ★ ★ ★ ~•~~~~•~~~~•~~
Go SoftBows!!!
The SoftBows are going!
Hi, βρεω808!
Watched St. Francis women beat up Maryknoll in softball today.
Good UH women’s game!
Happy St. Paddy’s Day! Be careful out there!
Doing my part to reach 200
Anyone watching that game at home? Was J-Rod’s homer fair or foul??????????
Nice win by the Wahines. Kelly Majam should take up golf!
Those Bison’s are pretty tough.
At the game I loudly suggested that the 3rd base ump was busy ________ _____ instead of watching the ball in the air so … yeah. 😆
Graham Watson thinks that UH will go 4-1 in their nonconference schedule this season. Good point that Colorado, Army, and UNLV had losing records last season and Charleston Southern is in D-IAA.
Duff,
Enough with the golf!!!!! Nah just kidding. Seriously though, I’m on my way home to catch the DVR of it but was Rodriguez’s bomb to left field fair or foul? Me and Ralph and most of the ppl sitting at 3rd base thought it was fair but Pomai said it was foul.
Bison burgers are available at Keawe Smokehouse.
Define “reasonable”.
Where is the replay screen when you need it?? LOL
Pomai,
Just got home too. Gonna relax a bit and then Ill rewind the game.
Knowing K5 the cameraman probably was out of position anyway!!! 😆
Tonight I saw CAL leave for the team bus quickly after Lipscomb upset them but they left no one behind to scout us. Well, none that I could see anyway. Then again the game was on TV so they probably got a nice scouting video set up.
Bison Burgers at Keawe Grill slightly out of my budget range for eveyday usage. But may eat one next week since ‘wafan’ made me ono for one.
Congrats to the Wahine?
Uh oh…guess where the Cal ladies are staying?!?! Might be some angry lady bears at the compound. Should be plenty of action in the Lower Campus this weekend…see you Slugger and everyone else at the Warrior VB game Friday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ESME!!!!
Whoah…. With Slugger & PPuff there …”Should be plenty of action in the Lower Campus this weekend…” 😯 😆 😯
βρεω808,
There’s always plenty of action when PowderPuff is around!
My brother-in-law & niece were thoroughly entertained sitting with Stretch, PP, A-Joe, Chawan_cut, Lefty & Ryan at the USC game on Monday. Lot of action behind us. 🙂 My bro-in-law wanted to say “Hey!” to Coach House, the USC pitching coach, who has taught my nephews in a couple of pitching camps here.
Mahalo for the tickets, Stretch!
See you at the MVB game with the visual aids.
😀
Kazz,
It was foul….
Majam’s cat & mouse base run-down was fun to watch!
Tons of comments on the Washington Redskins’ blog regarding the Rex Grossman addition. Lots of negative comments heaped on Grossman, Campbell, and the o-line. Colt will have to really to light it up…especially if they draft or bring in another free agent QB. Time for the tough to get going.
I am going to have to get the “visual aids” on video this weekend. They’re going to be well…very visual.
Top 200!
My day is complete….
ST: Can you ask Davone Bess to convince the Dolphins to trade for Colt and bring in Jason Rivers and June Jones? Then, we can watch Colt and the Dread Heads lead the country in offense like the good old days. 🙂
😳
…not yet.
Congratulations Pono….
dere, dats pono!
Colt Brennan –
I said it before – I think the best place for him now is with the SAINTS.
Colt’s accurate passing will do great in that wide open attacking offense.
I think he could beat out their #2 (can’t remember this veteran’s name),
and he certainly could beat out Doug Flutie II for #3.
Let’s see if the Skins will draft a QB next month.
I would think that we’ll find out who our new basketball coach is sometime next week. Pick a good one JD!
PowderPuff,
Tell the CAL “Lady” Bears to cool it. That pesky PAC 10 cockiness/frustration must be a _____!
Tomorrow is a new day and our Wahine will have to face a very bitter team that is still pretty dang good.
That’s it… I’m going to bed.
WE WERE WARNED ABOUT THE OFFICIATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(wahhhhh wahhhh waaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh) 😆
ai-eee-soos,
If the Skins draft a QB, I really think Colt will have a hard time making the team…even though we know how good he is. I think Shanahan will try hard to pick up a big-time QB. We’ll see.
Curt – # 205.
Agreed – that’s what I was leading to.
If he gets released, I sure hope he gets a look see by the Saints.
Man, I can picture Colt moving the team downfield, zip, zip, zip.
ahhh – only can wish.
ai-eee-soos,
Yup. Colt can definitely move the ball.
I think he’s better than any of the other Skins QBs and even other starting QBs elsewhere in the NFL. Hopefully, he gets a good look from Shanahan. It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out.
kazz
kazz my boy.
whoa too bad i was busy all day long with no time to blog.
shucks, i was gonna ask the question for you.
i guess i’ll just have to attend a softball game and ask her in person for you.
shal i tell her i am your uncle or your father?
Curt,
I’m also disheartened by the developments at the Redskins. I really felt that a sharp guy like Shanahan would’ve recognized that he had a hidden gem in the larder. Perhaps I gave him too much credit; perhaps he IS only a shadow of the genius that he once was. The sad part is that Colt is better than Cutler or anyone Shanahan has had for a long time. Give him some protection & weapons & see what he can do. I’ve been wrong before. Thought Spurrier would give Rolo a chance when he saw what he could do at the Hula Bowl. thought Martz would fight to get Colt drafted at the 49ers; think what he could’ve done there instead of Alex Smith. WRONG- the ‘geniuses’ are just way past their prime I guess.
ai-ee-soos,
I agree that it would be great for Colt to go to the Saints. He could also do worse than go to the Colts, Giants, Patriots or any number of other places (even Cleveland where I feel he could legitimately win the starting job). It seems familiarity breeds contempt and the Redskins sadly undervalue what they have
Congrats, Pono!
Good night, all!
We’ll be at the softball and baseball games on Friday and I’ll be at the softball games by myself as well as the volleyball match on Saturday with DrDoc. If it finishes 1/2/3, then we’ll head on over to the Les to watch the final three innings or so of the basebaall game. We may even catch some volleyball Thursday evening if we get back to campus in a timely fashion.
I have a personal request: DrDoc’s busy,busy,busy season is now in full gear from now through April 20th. Although I can get by watching a baseball game by myself as long as it’s broadcast by Don Robbs, I do need help with following the softball games because of my impaired vision. I know the game and all the strategies – I just need help in tracking the action. Is there anyone here on the blog who would be willing to sit with me when DD cannot make it to help me follow the game? .
Nitey nite and sweet success to Warrior Alumni Dreams!
protector,
I agree. Sometimes you just have to be lucky to be in the right situation at the right time.
G’nite all. zzzzzzzzzzz
I couldn’t sleep and it was bothering the hell out of me.
So I watched the replay and played it back and forth on my DVR and I’m sorry but that ball Rodriguez hit in the bottom of the 6th was a HOMER.
The ball is yellow.
The foul pole is white.
In slow motion, there is a CLEAR color differential when the ball goes over the fence. The angle was outward giving it the appearance it was foul.
If it was foul then there would be no color differential when the darker colored ball goes over the lighter colored foul pole.
I may be color blind, but two things that are completely opposite colors such as white and yellow are as plain as night and day. I woke up my now ticked off brother who agrees with me.
THERE!!!! HA!!!
Final score. UH 5-0. COUNT IT!
Al,
You do that. You can tell her you are my probation officer.
ok, i’ll do that much for you.
Avis thanks for picking me and thanks to ST for providing the tix. It truly was a great St Pattys day.

Good morning Tsai-kos!
Even though they don’t play till tomorrow afternoon, I still feel this great need to say it…
GO HOYAS!!
HOYA SAXA!!!
😀 😀 😀
The Redskins are interesting in drafting Tim Tebow in the second round? The report says that Washington might draft an OT in the first round and a QB in the second round…
Another “system” qb? hehehe….
Colt will run circles around TT.
Yah- curious that both my guys- Cooley and Colt are on IR and not a peep about either of them. I’m waiting to see some blowouts on excellence at training camp.
Utah St.???
I really like that one. It would be great to see Utah St. in the sweet sixteen.
Just read this morning’s Advertiser article by Ferd Lewis and Dayton Morinaga, I don’t know about y’all, but it seems to me Jim Donovan and his “committee”, have interviewed nothing but NOBODYS.
There’s not a single recognizeable name among the candidates they’ve alrewady interviewed.
Not one.
Unless of course you consider the son of the WORST coach in ANY sport the school has ever had.
No names, but Frank Arnold makes Fred vonAppen look like Vince Lombardi.
I’m convinced there will be no need to renew my basketball tickets when the time comes.
I’m also convinced I won’t be the only one.
Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Pride-
#221 😆 That might not be a bad idea!
First upset of the tournament – #11 ODU over #6 Notre Dame.
OK, Hoyas play today. So, GO HOYAS!!
#234 EH NO MAKE
So what names do you want to hear???
Good morning Tsaikos!
SPOILER ALERT: NO READ IF RECORDING NCAA TOURNEY
This tourney is starting off with a bang. I’m enjoying it with the first game going to double OT. Unfortunately, I’m getting a few more gray hairs as my pool is potentially blowing up with Nova being taken to OT by a 15 seed. Unreal! Comp time off is a beautiful thing. 🙂
jm####: I’ve got your Hoyas goin’ to the elite 8 and my Terps (wearing the 2002 championship shirt ATT) getting bumped off by KS.
Time for another green bottle….
99club – Hoyas’ game not scheduled to be shown locally. Will have to just be satisfied with online game trackers.
jm2375-
I wish they would show the games the way they did a few years ago with extensive use of picture-in-picture when two close games were going on at the same time. Today’s coverage was frustrating.
Good morning Tsaikos…hope all is well…
Some interesting picks in the NCAA Tourney….
Hope everyone has a good one today….talk later.
i’d like for the ‘skins to draft tim tebow.
i’d welcome the showdown between tebow and colt.
it will be interesting to see who is traded from the skins.
colt or campbell.
i am also not sure if grossman will stick.
somehow, somewhere colt will get a long look. you just can’t ignore those numbers and his accuracy.
OK, this is shaping up to be an interesting March Madness. First 3 games have resulted in 2 going to OT and one upset by 1 point. Weren’t first round games supposed to be blowouts?
Good morning!
BBall on…
Laters…
I select, Kentucky and Kansas in the final with Kansas coming on top….now that’s, “Presidential!!”
So far from what’s been revealed, I like the Smith guy from St. Mary’s.

I don’t know if posted already but Trent McKinney got offered a scholarship by WSU.

for what its worth…
how can one expect to attract any big name coaches with our mid major money?
we all want the best for the university of hawaii, but, you get what you pay for?
you can’t buy chateau lafite on a morgan david budget.
JD got one huge decision to make. Looking at the names of applicants, most do not have a “impressive” list of personal accomplishments. JD has got to chose one who show the most potential and that is never easy. Like recruiting athlethes, some pan out, some don’t but you recruit on past accomplishments and future potential. Unlike big programs where applicants are established and have a history of personal accomplishments.
Make a good selection and we get a floundering program off and running. If not we will be struggling for a few more years.
Available resources is a major obstacle any program, especially for UH.
Whoever is chosen, we need to give them the time and support to develop their program. How much time? How much success? When you looking for the diamond in the rough, you might find more more quartz crystals before the real stuff.
