Managing the Warriors
Fetaiagogo “John” Fonoti said he will be helping the Warriors as a student manager. The work will pay for his tuition. Fonoti is on track to earn a bachelor’s degree this academic year.
Fonoti probably had the potential to pursue pro-football opportunities. But he skipped UH’s Pro Day in April to work. He said his primary goal now is to earn a degree.
* * * * *
One of the most valuable members of the Warriors is manager Kyle Kamau, whose father and grandfather were NFL managers. Kamau helps in all phases of practices and, before the formation of scout teams yesterday, served as the scout quarterback in several drills. He was encouraged to try out as a player last year. Later, he did the math: walk-on as a player, full ride as a manager. He rivals Laupepa Letuli and David Graves as the team’s most talented muscian.
* * * * *
Sean Branick, a student manager last year, has moved back to Ohio.
* * * * *
Good practice today, featuring one-on-ones between linmen. Marcus Malepeai looked good as a pass-rusher. Siaki Cravens is really coming on, too.
The Warriors also worked extensively on kick returns and kickoffs. With the new no-wedge rule, those units will be dominated by faster and more athletic players. Among those who have excelled, according to the coaches, are Sterling Jackson and Darryl McBride.
* * * * *
After yesterday’s practice, quarterbacks Bryant Moniz and Cayman Shutter took a much-needed rest.

This is Shutter’s old-school helmet (that’s a Ninja Turtle sticker on the side):

Happy birthday to Sailor Blue.

Safe travels to daughter Allie, who will be teaching in Indiana for a year.

So close, I can smell football in the air!
The smell of violence, fear, pain, wonder and courage.
Never mind, just the dog farting.

Allie- dress warmly in winter and cool the rest of the year! Watch out for the mosquitos and poison ivy!
best wishes to dshoji on his 35th years as head yakuza for the wahine vball team. happy hunting down the mystical NCAA trophy to the players this year. article by Ann Miller right on and very typical of hawaii’s player and head man himself. go wahines
It looks like it would be interesting to watch an open practice.
Yeah, can’t wait for Wahine VB to start!
NCAA – ok, if you show up, look for Jesus at practice, that would be (J)J.
Aloha and safe travels to Allie!
…a great adventure in teaching begins…best wishes!
ST — what and where will Allie be teaching?
Speaking of fights…
Dwight K Schrute: Name your weapon of choice
Andrew Bernard: My bare hands.
Dwight K Schrute: That is stupid. I will use a sword and cut off your bare hands.
😆
looks like I forgot hoe to blockquote
😆
Jason buff…oxymoron.
Ok stupid question, Why Ohio?
Is it a one year adventure or no teaching jobs in Hawaii?
Just wanna know as son grads with a secondary education degree
next June from UH.
Best of luck in Ohio, Allie!
who u calling a Moron?
hoe=how
Ralph is more cunning.
If I were Ralph, I’d just roll up there driving a garbage truck with that automatic arm lift and dispose of my opponent.
Then manuever the truck off a cliff. 😆 😈
RE: #27
Geee homey — who told you? Man, word travels fast! 🙁
Ummm, its Indiana, not Ohio…moron.
Let’s GO Warriors!
Let’s GO Wahine!
Better work hard
Hard work mo better!
Better to be good
Good to be better!
Best to be great
Great to be best!
I think Oscar lives in a galvanized garbage can so the auto lift would not work,
just gotta do it the old fashioned way, lift em up and heave ho into the back of the truck.
So if he kills a muppet, does Ralph becomes a murderer or a recycler (spell?)
Indiana, Ohio. Is there really any diff now that L.James has left?
From Wena on FB
Safe travels Allie and best of luck!
…pass the chili peppers
Killing a muppet?
He’d be a recycler, but guilty of murder for the guy working the puppet.
– Cable wasn’t ready to commit to Colt Brennan as third quarterback in hopes that Charlie Frye will be available. Frye went through some footwork drills with the quarterbacks but didn’t actually throw the ball.
Frye’s right wrist injury was an overuse injury, Cable said.
…wat? Is she a Fightin’ Irish fan?
http://www.ibabuzz.com/oaklandraiders/2010/08/09/campbell-adjusting-to-life-on-the-inside/
Sorry- here is the source..
Gotta be careful not to overuse that wrist! 👿
Looked at the schedule and practice on Tuesday is 8:30 – 10:50.
d1…Allie likes to “Play Like A Champion” Everyday….MWAJAJAJAJAJ
Frye’s right wrist injury was an overuse injury, Cable said/
Hmmm, same injury to Homey’s wrist after he got the Playboy channel
I’d hate to be Ralph if the puppet wins. In fact, I’d hate to be Ralph. LOL
GOOD LUCK ALLIE!
Looking out upon the city lights, and the stars above the ocean…

Greg Salas is the under-the-radar wideout who’s crippled by the offensive system in which he plays.
Greg Salas plays in a running option offense?
This is one of the dumber quotes I have ever seen!
It ranks right up there with “everyone in the batting order shouldn’t be hitting home runs…”
colt brennan briefs
and i don’t mean his underwear. check this blog out by raider fans and apparently one or two of them were/are at the raider practice. seems like the coltster is being given a lot of time on the practice field.
from the reports he is opening some eyes “ala colt style” with his accuracy and deep tosses.
go here and “control ‘f’…then type in brennan” then hit next to pick up the colt only stuff.
http://www.ibabuzz.com/oaklandraiders/2010/08/10/preseason-opener-looms-practice-link/
kazz…what does he know? he is only a reporter.
oops sorry st.
Just saying that it’s pretty dumb to think Salas is “crippled” in an offensive system in which requires him to make defensive reads and quick cuts to elude LBs and DBs to get open.
It’s a GOOD thing (or *good* thing ala Garret) that Cable wasn’t in the loop regarding Colt because that means Al Davis is guiding this. As Raider fans know, Davis is famous/notorious for making personnel decisions without any input from or notice to his coaching staff. If Al Davis says play him, Cable will play him.
I’ve always thought that if Colt were to make it in the NFL, it wouldn’t be following in the steps of the Favres or McNabbs or Elways with the cannon arms. If anything, he is a Kenny Stabler clone. Stabler didn’t have great arm strength and some of his passes seemed to tumble crossways through the air forever and ever. BUT, he was incredibly, incredibly accurate and when the ball did come down, it was usually in the hands of a Raider receiver. Moreover, he was a team leader and was the best two minute drill QB ever in my book. As we all know, Colt has that same accuracy and leadership quality. He also has a better arm than Stabler did. I’m hoping this is what Al Davis is seeing as well. Please let it be so.
wm…yup i agree with your assessment and comp of colt and the snake.
i remember the glory days of the black n silver.
btw, how old are you?
wm…check out the link in #71. lots of reports on today’s practice. seems like the colt is starting to get acclimated with raiders.
C’mon, Stabler is special, he’s a lefty.
Al: younger than you. I think. Thanks for that link. Checking it now.
Homey, that and the fact that Stabler was a party animal are the only differences I see. Both are the coolest of the cool cats.
Good for Fetaiagogo “John” Fonoti to complete his degree!
HaPpY BiRtHdAy, Sailor Blue!!!
Yay! The women’s football clinic gets da Mouse!!!
Didn’t realize OL Brandon Rodd was trying to stick with the Raiders. He was the kid that grew up right next to Aloha Stadium and dreamed of playing for UH in front of his parents who are UH die hards. He got a UH scholarship offer, but ended up going to ASU where he made All Pac-10 his senior year. He was on the ASU squad that got torched in the Hawaii Bowl.

What was the name of the sub.quaterback (kicker,also?) who in his 40’s won some close ones for the Raider’s in their glory days? I’m sitting here getting frustrated trying to think of his name. Also, was John Madden the coach then? The more I think about it, the more confused I get. Mo’ makule, mo’pupule!
Howzit!
Happy Birthday SailorBlue!
OK, I’ll bite – who’s Margie Wright? and how come I got picked?! 😈
Fox Sports Radio
Boise St coach Craig Peterson bans twitter to be used by all players. Too much of a distraction.
Hilo Moon: George Blanda.
AHouse: Don’t know. He said in an interview before the Hawaii Bowl that he decided to try something different.
http://www.ibabuzz.com/oaklandraiders/2010/08/10/raiders-news-notes-p-m-link/
– Granted it’s easy to get carried away with seeing a few pinpoint passes after the way the passing game has gone on the Redwood Middle School field the past few years, and Colt Brennan’s chances of making the Raiders probably aren’t good.
But the guy has a knack for completions, having made virtually every throw imaginable in college at Hawaii.
Any thoughts that Brennan couldn’t throw a deep ball were dispelled by a sideline streak to Todd Watkins that was as pretty as any pass by any quarterback all training camp.
The ball traveled 40 to 50 yards in the air, and hit Watkins in stride with Stanford Routt helpless to do anything about it.
“He does a pretty good job of being able to put it on receivers and lead ‘em, and put it up over the top,’’ Cable said. “He has a knack for some of those things.’’
“I’ve played football since the fourth grade,’’ Brennan said. “You put me on a football field, there’s nothing uncomfortable about it.’’
With Charlie Frye out with a sore right wrist, Brennan will be the Raiders’ third quarterback against Dallas.
“I think what he’s done is put himself in the game,” Cable said. “He’s got it to a point where we feel like he can go in and hand it off and he’s got a handful of throws he can make and understand.”
Dang, I’m SO excited by this. Just give him a chance. That’s all he needs.
wm…i’m kidding.
W. Mojo
Thanks for leading me out of Confusionville.
didn’t george blanda first start off when they used those leather helmets?
i remember jim plunkett doing some damage as a raider.
even cable’s tone of voice is changing whenever he voices his thoughts about colt’s potential as compared to three days ago.
Sheesh. Hour to go and already getting the chili peppers.
Don Weir
Are you still looking for leather helmets?
There seems to be a market for it…

Re: Oceanic and Thursday’s game, I did a little asking and it might possibly be an NFL thing. I don’t know how to ask further, so here is the information so far, one detail and one question. Detail: In the past, the Chargers have imposed blackouts of their telecasts (not sure why that applies beyond the home market). Question: Is the game being shown on the “NFL” channel? I also was told that Oceanic cannot go to Time Warner and ask for a different feed, but this seems just weird. On a side note, sounds like the “sports pak” is getting very popular. 😉
chopsueyboy…
I think they are looking more for green and white ones like…

That’s 23 DAYS to Warrior football

2 days 3rd quarter for Colt to see action with the raiders…
Whooohoooo Football!!! Let the games begin!
Then again.. maybe green and white weren’t our colors then.?
What did I win? I was post #23.
homey…
I dunno.. but not counting spaces.. there are 23 letters in that post… hmmm…
hilo moon you thinking of george blanda
There’s also 23 letters in the date and time. 😯
Happy B-Day to Sailor Blue!
The Oakland/Dallas game is being shown here in L.A. on an independent station- KTLA. ESPN is carrying the national game Panthers/Ravens. I just checked the NFL Network schedule and found this:
FRIDAY – 3:30 pm Eastern (10:30 a.m. HST?)
3:30 PM NFL PRESEASON GAME: OAK vs. DAL 2010 NFL Preseason Game: Oakland Raiders vs. Dallas Cowboys
A-House – got the email. Thanks!
Finally, I just received a flyer via email for the annual UH Athetics Golf Tournament to be held here in L.A. September 8. JD will be there. NOW, are there any LoCal bloggers/lurkers that would like to participate? If so, I’d like to enter the LoCal Tsaikos as a team. Since I’m not on the blog very often, email me at rich2176 at that yahoo place. Need to register by August 19th.
homes® you ready for numero uno tgate against dem trojans?
Or, the UH Athletics Golf Tournament….sorry. Just trying to take a little break from the mounds of paperwork on my desk and the fingers aren’t working too well on the keyboard.
Happy Birthday Sailor Blue! And all the best to Allie – teaching is such a noble profession.
LOVE that old-school logo and helmet.
Go Rainbows!
rich2176 – got your email – thanks!!
MIH:
like your “magic number 23”!
only great minds can see all the ripples in a pond.
Stephen- Allie will be fine and chili peppah time is ok too. Wish more daddys loved their kids the way you do!
wm- he will Bring Back the BELIEVE!
GO, COLT!
A Hui Hi Ho!
Good Luck and Safe Travels for ST’s Numero Uno.
Colt, just show your stuff, that’s always impressive.
We Believe!
koakane…did you see post #88. okay, okay, i know you just woke up.
ST, won’t your daughter be coming home for Christmas?
How many days vacation for an elementary teacher at Christmastime?
Enough for a Hawaii fly back?
We could all send her chocolate Macademia nuts…
Of course, she might prefer a white Christmas. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!
Good luck to Allie in Indiana!!! You will do well — too many uncles and aunties pulling for you.
Schools tend to run the traditional school year so two weeks for Winter Break. Lots of time to run home for some of Mom’s home cooking and, of course, a bunch of spoiling by that old task master, Dad.
I wonder how they handle snowdays?
#106 – thanks, Rich. Got it programmed on my DVR.
And the Bills @ the Redskins later.
Also notice I have CBS-C for future reference.

Funny how the day goes by faster and you have a little extra hop in your step when you here some good news about Colt.
* hear *
I sure hope Colt isn’t sacked during the game. That could cause injuries.
Wonderful blog! I definitely love how it is easy on my eyes and the data are well written. I am wondering how I might be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your rss feed which should do the trick! Have a nice day!
Sack ’em smack ’em is what UH will do to USC!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m sure that he will get sacked. Maybe even several times. I’m sure that there’s chance that he may get hurt. Part of the game. Can’t be afraid of getting hurt.
Hopefully Dallas hopes they too
will not suffer injuries…
and play their worse players
thus opening up Colt’s natural talents to
bomb away!
Happy Birthday Sailor Blue
This is a wonderful blog. I have learned all kinds of inetresting things.
And it is easy on your eyes and the data are well written.
Have we had an offensive line this big before? Hopefully they are also mobile and have good feet and balance.
T: Letuli – 6’4 325 lbs
G: Leonard – 6’5 310 lbs
C: Tiwanak – 6’1 300 lbs
G: Thomas – 6’6 305 lbs
T: Hansen – 6’4 305 lbs.
O-line in the Mark Nua days must have been big also.
As I googled trying to find the biggest UH football player I found this:
1909 – The College of Hawaii “Fighting Deans” played and won its first game against McKinley High School by a score of 95–5 at Punahou School.
1920 – The College of Hawaii becomes the University of Hawaiʻi and the football team plays its first intercollegiate game against Nevada, losing 14–0 on Christmas Day.
1922 – Hawaii defeats its first collegiate opponent, beating Pomona 25–6 on Christmas Day.
1923 – A rainbow appears over Moiliili Field after Hawaii upsets Oregon State, 7–0. Local reporters begin calling UH athletic teams the “Rainbows.”
And in…
1924–25 – The Rainbows, under the guidance of coach Otto Klum, complete back-to-back undefeated seasons…
The Rainbows outscore their opponents 606–29 in 18 games. Among the schools defeated during this time are Colorado, Colorado State and Washington State.
oh yeah…
“23”…. A rainbow appears over Moilili Field….. how magic is THAT number, eh?
Mark Nua from New Zealand was 6′ 7″.
At 12 Mark was the Auckland shot put and discus Champion. At age 14 he was the New Zealand Champion and went on to become the Australasian shot put champion.
Mark played with the University of Hawaii Warriors from 1984 to 1988 when he graduated with a BA in Sociology. Then the giant Kiwi offensive lineman was signed by the Detroit Lions (1990-1992) and subsequently played with the San Diego Chargers (1992-1994).
In 1997 on his return to New Zealand Mark Nua moved into TV and film with roles in “What Becomes of the Broken Hearted”, “Crooked Earth” and “Spooked”.
Mark’s story is full of dreams, setbacks, humour and most of all about a young man who’s life was changed overnight thrust into the role of a sporting celebrity.
He themes his talks around something his first coach, in Hawaii, Dick Tommy told him “The Will to Win is the Will to Prepare”
Enuf said…bye.
Actually, the line in Mark Nua’s days was actually pretty small compared to today’s standards. Mark Nua was an anomaly at the time…..a “giant” if you will. Nowadays, some schools be lining players in all 5 positions with Nua-like proportions.
BIK
koakane – aka lumberberjack, yes I am ready for t-gate ekahi.
Looking toward the future, as usual there seems to be some big kids that are coming out of our Hawaii high schools in the next two years. I’m not sure how good any of these kids are, but they are big.

Koa Ka’ai – 6’4″ 235 (Kamehameha)
Juda Parker – 6’2″ 245 (St. Louis)
Micah Kalepa – 6’5″ 250 (Pac-5)

RAIDERS PRESEASON GAMES ON KTLA:
http://www.ktla.com/sports/football/raiders/
so… we might wanna surf some channels Thursday afternoon, know what I mean?
Fetaiagogo Fonoti was definitely good enough to be on soneome’s pre-season roster. Given the right circumstances, he probably could have made someone’s team. But of course, in the long run, the degree will payoff more for he and his family.
Ha’aha’a ALOHA!
UKU !!
Hi UKU and Mrs. UKU!
Whasup Warriors!
CSB,
I can only speculate why Coach Petersen is banning twitter with his players. Since we all know how people like to talk trash prior to game day, the ban is probably an attempt to prevent any Blount-Hout type altercations on the field. Can’t always control the ocassional player that says something stupid, but you can limit his options. Recall Idaho’s Don Verlin suspending Kashif Watson for his profanity laced twitter comment regarding him. That was funny.
Hey, Tsai’s readers.
Waianae will play Kahuku at 6 p.m. Saturday at Kahuku, the OIA said.
Waianae had its preseason game canceled when Nanakuli could not come up with enough players. Kahuku had an opening because a trip to Utah fell through.
So we end up with this great matchup to open the high school football season.
http://www.raiders.com/media-vault/videos/Coach-Cable-August-10/4b8df0e8-437a-414b-a1f8-9e447968e585
Even though you can’t hear the question- the last one is about Colt and I like the way Coach is responding!
Geeez, I was just found out that the Raiders – Cowboys game is not on any channels I get through my cable sports package. How sad:(
As we say in the media biz, Colt moves the needle.
Time to start voting on the most memorable moment for UH football. Watch Na Koa Bowl for results on August 17th from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm on KFVE and OC16. The show will also be live streamed on http://www.nakoa.org/.

Wow! Big game….
Friday Night Lights is back (albeit on Saturday)!
Thanks for the news.

Allie will do fine. She has you & Wena for parents. It’s only a year. If you miss her, you can go to Indiana to visit.

Re #160:
http://www.raiders.com/news/article-1/Coach-Cable-Tuesday-Transcript/aa5b26f6-93c6-4fd6-a619-532af7b45abd
Q: What has Colt Brennan shown in the few days that he has been here?
Coach Cable: Well he is studying his rear end off. Paul [Hackett] is spending an incredible amount of time with him. I think what he has done is put himself in the game.
Q: Colt making as many throws as he has in college, does it make him more likely to come hit the field with a short amount of practice, and be able to complete passes in a game situation?
Coach Cable: I think that it helps him. I definitely think it helps him. As you said, he came out of a much different system then maybe the pro style; but the fact is he thrown a million footballs. He has a nice drop. If you watch him he does a pretty good job with being able to put it on receivers, and lead them. So he has a knack for some of those things.
Happy Birthday Sailor Blue
Stacy, thanks for the update. This is quite a preseason game.
Grambling St had a huge oine when they came here.
….that’s 3 big games in HS preseason.
8/14- Waianae @ Kahuku
8/21- St. Louis vs Waianae @ Aloha (followed by Kapolei vs Punahou)
8/27- St. Louis @ Kahuku
Na Koa Mike- thanks for that link… my fave is the victory over Washington from behind…. what a game!!!
“He has a nice drop.”
Ooh, that’s nice. Remember one of the criticisms of Colt when he was drafted was that he — supposedly — didn’t know how to drop back since he played most snaps in the gun.
I guess I must be pretty far gone in the Cult of Colt because I NEED to see Thursday’s game. Liz, do you have Dish or Direct TV? How you liking it?
As I think about it, I guess I’ve been pretty far gone for awhile. I remember going to Gainesville to see the Florida game by way of DC to see Colt play a pre-season game against Vince Manuwai and the Jags.
The most important question of the day is – – – – – – – – -do we have an unofficial after the practice call on for tomorrow?
You guys should check out Stacy’s Web site.
OK, I don’t have the address. But Stacy’s great, and I’m sure the site is, too.

Stacy, great website.
Happy Birthday Sailor Blue.
I inquired with Oceanic about their Sports Pak, to make sure we’d catch the Army and Colorado UH games, and the rep assured me that the SP is included with the PPV season package until the December cutoff.
When I mentioned we had ordered the PPV season package, she said we weren’t listed as having ordered it, but they had been having issues with the system.
I had pushed the “purchase” button, but it came back and said I had already ordered it. It seemed strange, but I thought the order had gone through and everything was hunky-dory.
Anyone who thought their TV acted a little oddly when they purchased a UH season package should check with Oceanic about their order, or they might be unpleasantly surprised at gametime in September.
LizKauai,
Thanks for the Colt updates. U rock.
Okay Colt. Let’s roll.
oxtail soup:
unfortunately for us the first experience with PPV was a total disaster and never again – 2 xs we had to change the machine to start and all down hill after that.
evening

Great article: ‘We’re Hawaiian and We Are Warriors’ http://www.oha.org/kwo/2010/08/KWO1008.pdf
Hmmm…nice web page Ms. Stacy.
Got a little bored tonight so stumbled on free high school football
videos (last year) from Oceanic 16 video link. Got popcorn?
Go to http://www.oc16.tv/sports#
Now watching Kamehameha and Leilehua matchup last year…
Here’s a redux of a familiar song (the young ones won’t recognize this):
Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’
With da run & shoot a clickin’
Keep dem touchdowns rollin’, Warrior Pride!
Through rain and wind and weather
Held bent for passin’ leather
Wishing Colt was by my side
All da things I’m missin’
Ono food, love, and kissin’
Are waiting at da end of my ride
Move ’em on head’ em up
Head ’em up move’ em up
Move ’em on head’ em up
Warrior Pride!
Count ’em out , ride ’em in
Ride ’em in count ’em out
Count ’em out, ride ’em in
Warrior Pride!
d1 mentioned about the oha article in the ka wai ola paper last week.
hmmm…never heard that tune before.
Rawhide or Proud Mary…?
al,
Yes al. You’re too young to know that song. You’ve got to be at least 30 years old. 🙂
Safe journey Allie and best wishes on your newest venture.
I bet Curt composed that song. Not bad, Curt.
The neat thing about the Kamehameha Leilehua game was Tara Gabriel, the young lady football player kicking a bunch of extra points.
RE: #195
Rawhide Curt — very good. Bring the lyrics to the next Karaoke Call.
Rawhide

🙂
Thanks to all the Tsai-kos and Tsai-kettes for the birthday wishes. Had a great day. Slept late, went to the beach for a while and then Mrs. SB treated me to a sunset dinner cruise. It was a very good day made even better by all the birthday wishes from my friends. Mahalo.
BTW, Kekoa ~ tutu is in retirement unless Homey wants to ‘borrow’ and dance again. I think it looked better on him than me 😀
And A-House ~ da dogs are asking you to not sing any more, it hurts their ears 😀
yup curt…many say i look no older than 29.
what else but a dinner cruise for the sailor man.
Wanna thank you all for all the links to follow Colt…. the cult continues… GO RAIDERS!!!! anybody but the Cowboys
And Mr. Kaneshiro, thank you for the website!! It brings the anticipation of the upcoming football season to a head…. Gets us all excited for FOOTBALL!!!!
gigi and SteveM,
Mahalo for your kind comments. I was thinkin’ Colt needs to get rollin’ on Thursday. Hence, that oldie but goodie popped up in my head. With a few tweaks of the lyrics…walllah. Thanks for posting the youtube link to Rawhide. It brings back memories for all of us old futs…except al of course. He’s such a young fut. 🙂
“…many say i look no older than 29.” Now, dat’s funny. Sorry al. You had me cracking up on that one.
thursday game….so i communicated with the ktla website mgr and asked if they would have a live stream from their website. they already do the news online.
unfortunately the aren’t and can’t.
but curt it is true…just go ask any of the tsa….oh never mind.
Ahoy there SB! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Allie…may the good Lord guide you…make memories (like Bulla)!!!
Curt…bringing back memories. Made me smile…what a wonderful adaptation! You and Kazz should form a writing team
we already have two writers…gigi and dpk.
ST & Tsaiko Blog Dogs,
al & Steve M: Frankie Laine classic! Do you remember “Ghost Riders in the Sky”? or “High Noon”?
Great blog! I definitely love how it’s easy on my eyes and also the facts are well written. I am wondering how I might be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your rss feed which should do the trick! Have a nice day!
how would i know those songs if i am 29?
all right to be honest…never heard of franki laine, but, i have heard this song before.
Test. 🙂
annodah dave, that man had a voice.
al, tried another “special” soybeans and the buggah came out ono. was going save sum for you, but the buggah was soooooo gooooooood, i ate em all!!!! sorry about that.

225 is just around the bend.
225
oyasumi na sai.
whitey…i used to prepare the ikura tell you the secret later.
evening how it going tonight
kinda slow eh
Isn’t Stacy’s Web site pretty cool?
al,
We had lobster two ways today thanks to Uncle Walter winning a bowling pot. So delicious.
At practice, the guy who graduated from the UH nursing program remarked on how much larger our O-line looks this year compared to previous years. I sat and watched them, but I know nothing about what they are supposed to do, so I can’t comment.
ST is right about Darryl McBride.
Beach anyone?
I’m a tired buckaroo…off to bed.
Practice tomorrow!!!
You are a cowboy?
lobster?
i hear mcbride might turn out to be a hidden gem on st and d.
people are also saying that sterling is silver as in quicksilver especially for a big guy.
i’ll bet malepeai is unleashing a year’s worth of waiting.
Quicksilver as in the comic book hero or the element mercury?
Time for some shut-eye and get ready for an early wake-up and soak up some vitamin D.
Goodnight world.

http://www.sacbee.com/2010/08/11/2950898/new-qb-brennan-crams-for-big-test.html
per ST’s aticle …
coach Tormey said four first-year Warriors — Sterling Jackson, Darryl McBride, Siaki Cravens and John Hardy-Tuliau — have been impressive on the kickoff units.
“Those are four guys in the mix we didn’t have last year,” Tormey said. “They’re athletes, and we’re trying to put as many good athletes out there as we can.”
Also, one one scholarship might open up…
The Warriors are awaiting approval on a medical hardship that would open up a scholarship. Defensive ends Liko Satele and Kamalu Umu, center Bronson Tiwanak, and cornerback Kawika Ornellas are among key contributors who are not on scholarship
Happy birthday, Sailor Blue!
Best wishes and safe travels, Allie!
Dang it, Curt… now that song is stuck in my head, and probably will be for the next few days. Where’s my Rap Replinger album? I need to listen to something else!
Annoddah Dave — I remember Ghost Riders as an instrumental (played on my uncle’s record player), but not the lyrics as here…

High Noon (Gary Cooper) was a little too adult in theme for my age …in 1952…

Nice story about Pookela Ahmad and his Mom….new neighbors of Kekoa.

The sidelines might be pretty crowded at practice today…erryboddy behave!
HiHo….

d1, it is hump day, so time to start humping!!!! did that come out correct???? ho hi
The photo of Salas “catching” the ball does not look like he follows Mouse’s instruction when it comes to hands position.
Good Morning Tsai-kos!
