SteveM & Peaches

Merry Christmas and good morning Tsaikos everywhere.

Congragulations SMU.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!

Merry Christmas, Jim Donovan. The very best good wishes to you and your ohana this coming year.

June Jones quote used in this morning’s Dallas morning news.

“What I told them [the team] before the game is every football player – high school, college, pro – was watching this game tonight,” Jones said. “It’s all about players stepping up and making big plays in big games, and they made it happen.”

I’m thinking about the University of Southern California Trojans, about whats going on in the weight rooms, practice fields, coaches offices and the homes of recruits between now and then. But mostly I’m thinking about the confidence of the coaches being projected onto the players.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

and if Barrack goes for it, you gotta be there, along with Wai, for the pix and Q&A. 😀 yup, gonna wish for a white Merry Christmas. 😆

good morning and Merry Christmas Wafan.

you up yet?

okay, back in a few. Merry Christmas everybody.

Rasu Begasu

Mele Kalikimaka to you too.

BHF2, Merry Yule tide greetings to you and your OHANA!

Merry Christmas to everyone

Had to Q-in to wish my friend, SteveM, “A very merry happy birthday.”

Not happy for another WAC loss; happy for coach JJ and his success with another program. Although he has a thousand yd. rusher,(a 1st), I fear from the exibition last night that teams will gear up to stop the passing game….. that’s why I’ve always been a fan of a more balanced attack.

Lastly, I hope BSU kicks butt when they play TCU from the MWC, in the Fiesta Bowl.

I just found a quarter on the floor, maybe the Tooth Fairy came instead of St Nick.

Merry Christmas coach Mac. JJ gave you the best gift. A lesson on how to “run and shoot” the correct way. Please stay away from calling plays on the offense and you may get a Hawaii bowl for Christmas next year. If not Santa put a pink slip in your stocking before you know it. Conservative run out the clock play callers will not be able to follow JJ as coach and win the heats of the fans..no matter how nice you are. We need a new “Rolo would throw” and mac stays in the back (on offense).

Merry Christmas to all the Tsaiko’s near and far.

Happy Birthday to the December kids, especially the Mayor of Sin City, Rasu Begasu. SteveM, save me some of your cake!

I’m hoping Santa has been extremely generous to you all today. Enjoy yourselves Tsai-ko’s and stay safe!

Aloha Kekoa and Ohana! Missed you guys yesterday! But know that every time I looked that the SMU fans and support people, I felt happy for them- who showed up with their love and enthusiasm and local traditions and band- to rise up out of the abyss of their VonAppen years into the light of Believe and redemption.

But all is good in the Land of Aloha too. Ke Akua provides and there is no Akua but Ke Akua. The rest are but His laboring servants who were born to believe and serve each other with His Aloha!

Happy Birthday Chawan_Cut!

wet christmas morning to all. again may all your wishes be granted, blessing on your family and dear friends. enjoy the time opening the presents, at todays services and the fuud you will be eating. give thanks for the good fortune that is yours.

wishing a very special merry christmas to those overseas protecting to provide the freedom we enjoy. may you come home soon to enjoy being near loved ones.

lastly to all the tsaikos, warriors and wahine fans I have had the pleasure to meet over the years. its been fun and my honor to have shared the 5 “f’s with you’all. as mentioned before you are the bestestes. from my family to yours
Mele Kalikimaka

Chee,

that was pretty funny, mahalo for the laugh this morning.

But you gotta admit, watching the SMU offense brought back a lot of good memories of times past………

Good luck to JJ and SMU……

Merry Christmas to one and all as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ! Happy Birthday to all the Christmas babies 🙂

bulla said

Ryan humbled me with his words yesterday, and put me in my place……and the bottom line, It’s Ryan’s choice, it’s his life, it’s his dreams and aspirations that is my #1 priority.

okay my friend and fellow member of Warrior Nation,

Thanks for letting us know the inside scoops. You raised a smarter kid than you knew. Good for Ryan. Good for him for making us all proud!

Imua Warriors! Imua Coaches!

SteveM Happy Birthday, buddy!

rasu begasu Belated Happy B-Day & nice to see you back on the blog.

Bulla Good luck on your quest. We all know Da Beast has a
heart of a Warrior.

mctruck Agree with you about it being great if Boise State can
recoup loss of respect for the WAC and at the same
time can show everybody the Oregon win was not a
fluke.

VonAppen I think your wish will be granted as Rolo will show he is a
just as gifted a play-caller as he was a Quarterback &
can handle the lion’s share if not sole responsibility for it.

Merry Christmas to the Tsai and Tsai-ko ohanas. While I haven’t attended too many functions, you guys are close to my heart.

Happy Birthday SteveM, the ultimate Tsai-ko cruiser!

Happy Birthday Chawan, the Tsai-ko balloon man and youtube man!

Oh and more birthday shout outs,

Go to SteveM and Chawan

MERRY CHRISTMAS………

Merry Christmas Gangeez! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Praise to God for a Savior born this day!

Happy Birthday for the other Christmas Babies, Chawan_Cut and rasu begasu!

Ryan Eastman is going to make one helluva Warrior, stay tuned y’all!

Bulla- Every father should love their sons the way you do. Great fathers know when to let their fledglings fly, watch now as Da Beast soars… If you have raised a son who knows how to make his dream happen as Ryan does, then you’ve done good by him. Nuff said.

rasu, i hope you got presents for your birthday and Christmas. Want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY and MERRY CHRISTMAS.

also apologize for not calling on last trip, but had a small group and those guys can drink

Now that is what i call redzone execution.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY C_C & SteveM

June Jones is the exgirlfriend that was just great for you but then you took her for granted and in one last great year of your relationship she starts seeing someone else behind your back, decides to leave, says yes to your marriage proposal, and then leaves you hanging on your wedding day.

JJ is gone. We are all UH fans and he has NOTHING to do with OUR program anymore.

Last night may have been nostalgic for many of us, but “one snap and clear”… pau!

So… When does spring ball start? 😎

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BIRTHDAY PEEPS!!!

Was I just imagining it or did SMU basically run the ball in from the RedZone each time?

duffer….i don’t wanna be a flea anymore. those other two snore too loud and it echoes in that pod.

happy birthday.

p.s. when’s the kid’s first game let me know.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Happy birthday to SteveM! May his family and all the families have smooth sailings in the coming year.

Blessings on our Ohana!, J(J) mother and LTUHF.

And BULLA, take care and look forward to seeing Ryan in the green and white (and black)!

al, i resemble that remark!!! hahhahahahahaa

Hey! We dont want anymore trouble outta you fleas today! 😆

Ok gang I’m over the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl. Done. Finished. Pau. Terminado. Owarimashita.

I’m thankful for what WE have (Warriors) and not what we DONT have!!

Kazz and Protector said what we all know all ready, our Warriors wounds are healing and our coaches are stocking up on talented players. Our coaches will have them ready I’m sure for 2010.

Is it spring yet??

Before the Hawaii Bowl, SMU in the red zone had 17 rushing TDs and 7 passing TDs, so they have been running the ball well all season in the red zone.

After the NCAA stats are updated with the bowl stats, it looks like they will be in the top 10 in the NCAA in the red zone stat and UH will be #120 (out of 120 D-IA teams).

Good morning Tsaikos & Tsaikettes, Lurkers & Lurkettes!

Very Merry Christmas Everyone!

To our Christmas Berfday peeps:
Happy Birthday, SteveM!
Happy Birthday to da guy with the chawan cut, chawan_cut! j/k
Happy Birthday belatedly to Las Vegas!
Happy Birthday belatedly or not, rasu begasu!

Boy, you guys lucky cuz Santa brings you double the presents!

UHfan, naah, I think their families save money and give them only one present. Present has Christmas wrapping and card is a birthday card. hahahahaaaaa

Garret,

Maybe JJ was sending a message to Mack… “this is how you should do it.”

whitey,
aww junk den, yeah? = (

well den,

hope they get double of one beeeeeeeeg present den. = )

thank you thank you for all the well wishes!
to each and all of you have a merry kalikimaka and hope all your mele christmas dreams come true!
be safe!

Guud thing for DVR, no? Since I slept all thru the nite last nite, now I’m gonna turn on the Nevada vs SMU game to see what y’all are blogging about.

Sorry to hear Nevada lost.

But (unda JJ’s coaching) nice to know how we could have won, yeah? lol

almost forgot – a Happy Birfday to Chawan and to Lefty (tomorrow)!!

I think the most informative thing we learned from JJ visit is how important it is to recruit DL and CB’s right after QB(which he said he is set for the next 5 years)
I always was OL first kind of guy but what JJ said was probably more correct.
I’ll enjoy watching the Tivo today
Colt will be in a great spot next year, cuz he is a possible free agent after next season, so whoever his coach is, he will have to really give him exposure
Merry Christmas all around

Happy Birthday to all the holiday birthday peeps! SteveM… Chawan…Lefty… etc.. etc.. etc…

and Merriest of Christmases to all! …. time to go party… then potty.. then party some more…

asta la vista!

CHEE,

A “cheeeeeehoooooo” to you!

Dey u go sir! Right mind set. SMU can do what they do. We only should care and concern ourselves in what the University of HAWAII does.

haha

the beast will doeth anything that needeth to be doneth with the balleth or thateth is asketh of himeth by the coaches. in the snow country, he ranneth the balleth only in practice, but had funneth wheneth he dideth……u never knoweth whateth mighteth happen 🙂 he knoweth that he is the loweth on the totem pole, but he can climbeth like a monkey…..

In case anyone has forgotten:

GO BOWS!!!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!! It’s great to be a part of the Warrior Nation!

Nevada’s seniors that did not redshirt played in 4 straight bowl games…and lost all 4 of them.

An amazing thing is the SMU quarterback will enter spring ball No. 3 on the depth chart.

Spooky! 😯

After he retires, The Former Coach could write a best-selling book about evaluating QB talent.

jmxxxx,

I have good memories of watching George Michael Sports Machine as well in those pre-ESPN days! RIP….

didn’t june run that huge h back a few years ago?

and, happy birthday to c_c and lefty as well.

d1…what will they do with malcolm lane?

if bradley is healthy then pilares goes back to slot.
if lane picks up where he left off then he and bradley would probably start.

i liked the way taylor progressed last year. perhaps we go five wide or rotate him to give bradley and lane a breather. in any case we will have a bevy of talent catching the ball including billy ray in the mix.

swing and shovel passes to brown and chizzy.

hmmmm.

Wishing all of you a Very Merry Christmas….and hoping you all have fun and happiness with your family and friends….

d1島:
the key is theparation….
I luv it when Bulla talketh thith way…
btw wuz hoping to see you at the game…
Met “Micro” and “Myky”—both super real nice tsaikos. Saw coach Riley Wallace pull up at
gate 5 and set up a tail gate lickety split. He’s fast.

al,

It wasn’t an oversight that I omitted that one….

Rod Flemings is NOT dressed.

(O_o’)/ Why are you peeping into his room and telling us the man is nekkid?

Ho Lee Kao,

Cool! Santa brought you one new computah! 😆

…aiyah, Lefty’s berfday will be on Sunday, not today or tomorrow…

kazz…i know, i know, he busted his right knee on the last game.

…aiyah…now closin’ my eyez…lol

only Williams showed up tonight. will be close but a loss is a loss. We need to start beating some of the mid majors with winning records, boosting our wins against the Chicago State’s won’t make us better prepared to win the WAC

UH is now 6-6, next up, another cream puff, Northwestern State with a 5-5 record. They lost to Louisiana Tech 98-70 this season. They play in the Southland Conference.

Merry Christmas, everyone!!!

Merry Christmas to all!

Happy B-day to SteveM and Chawan. Mahalo for all you two do for the blog!

Just got done watching the UH game on ESPN. Dwain Williams was lobbing some bombs at the end, d1…he was the only one keeping us in the game.

UH has 18 games to play not including the WAC tournament which UH must qualify to participate. Currently 6-6, Nash needs 12 wins in the next 18 games for a rollover, Jason needs 14 wins or he buys lunch. Nash has an easy route than Jason thanks to JD with his low expectations for the mbb team. At least 18 wins won’t get UH an invite to the NCAA, and it may not be enough to get into the NIT. Got to raise the bar JD, rookie mistake.

happy birthday to christmas babies SteveM and Chawan Cut.

and a most merry christmas and happy new year to all……to all peoples here, there, and everywhere.

there’s some HUGE fireworks in Waimanalo??!! ok, its really closer to bombs but either way…….WHOA!

Thanks again to all for their thoughts and prayers for my mom….the good news is that she is out of ICU and will be heading to rehab soon….

chawan cut

Happy Birthday to you!

royvic

I think you’ve forgotten that Coach Mack was a cornerstone & a big part of the success of those ’06 thru ’08 teams. You also conveniently forget that without Coach Mack’s ’99 contibution, JJ would not have engineered as successful a turnaround. It’s a weak argument to blame him for the disappointing seasons & ignore his role in the success this team has had.

HiFlyer per SMU site Bo Levi isn’t listed in their participation chart, must have been someone else at RB that you mistook for qb Bo Levi. Braden Smith is the other qb and he also did not participate in the game.

Tsai or anyone else…do you know if Jamora from Kahuku has any visit plans to UH? Don’t understand why BSU would pay for his visit and only offer him a walk on position, maybe Coach Mac should make another visit to the North Shore for a house call, if he hasn’t already. Mahalo

Merry Christmas Tsaiko’s around the world.
Bulla..do not…do not lose the passion! No need to apoligize fo nuthing!..the passion speaks and if only each and every Warrior have the same passion like you and Da Beast, we would have a much better team! I look forward to the day Da Beast suits up in a Warrior Uni.

Anyhoo, the day is almost over and time to look to the new year. Make sure you guys get da MOCHI before da firecracker or bombs! The Northshore is like a firing range! Not atlking about small kine aerials but huge house shaking blast! The dog is getting one nervous breakdown! Gotta give her some beer, me thinks.

O & O

June Jones,

thank you for coming and filling my christmas stocking with words of wisdom. telling the world that your successful Padron is #3 on your next year’s depth chart, after he threw for 460 yards and was pretty accurate, is a good way to promote TEAM and MOTIVATION.

I gotta believe Coach Mack is listening and watching all the happenings. and that Miano, Cal ad Ron are watching and listening too. They are the ones who are literally putting the local light on UH Warriors insofar as the perception of UH by the local high schools and their ballers is based on these coaches.

but I had a great christmas eve. my kids, grandkids, i got to choke them with turkey and presents.

and I got to watch June Jones and his entourage. I got to see how its done. everybody does their job differently than the next guy, i got to see the man project authority, leadership, and i watched his assistants each do their thing without acting like they had to tell him what fo do. it was a great show for anybody who has an interest in acting like the head coach.

(J)J- good news about Mom!!!

Happy Birthday Mr. _Cut!

Attention Garret:

For the record, going on a “visit” is a lot different than being “recruited” as potential scholarship athlete.
For the record, even future “invited walk ons” take official “recruiting visits”.

Just a friendly reminder.

Trust me, I wish things were “peachy” when it comes to the Warriors recruiting efforts, however, I KNOW better. I also believe Mr. Tsai knows better as well, and he’s just not being as direct as I am.

Fact of the matter is this, University of Hawaii is LOSING, when it comes to recruiting stand out Hawaii high school football players. Can it get better? Well, yes.
WILL it get better? Well, not in the near future.

Now please don’t get the wrong picture. I bleed green and white, not black though, just green and white. I pay good money for 6 season tickets, have done so for 19 years, yet I am realistic.

It’s not going so good right now.

I mean really, how many of you, us, didn’t realize how good it was or how good it could be if June Jones were still our guy. Mack comes across as a real “nice guy”, sure, I get that, however, 13 and 14 over two seasons, inexplainable losses to Utah State, San Jose State, Idaho, UNLV just to name a few…that is NOT acceptable.

This will ruffle some of youe feathers I’m sure, but do we not deserve better for $1.1 million dollars per year. Heck, Notre Dame fires their coach for going 6-6.

Our team was frazzled too many times. Worst example of gmae / clock management I’ve ever seen this past season, and frankly, I’m sick and tired of the head coach saying “we make no excuses…” then delivering a bunch of excuses.

Enough already, enough…!

Eh No Make !,

I tried to be careful how I worded the Yap recruiting visit because from what I understand, UH hasn’t offered him yet. I posted about that a couple of days ago, when I wondered why UH hadn’t offered him yet. I was trying to post something positive without overstating it.

I do agree that local recruiting is *not* going well. UH offered so many of the top Hawaii recruits this year and they seem to all want to go to other schools. People blamed JJ for the top Hawaii recruits going away to Pac-10 and other schools and the thought I saw posted was that turning Cal Lee and Ron Lee loose would get half of the top 10 local recruits to play for Hawaii. That is after the recruiting budget is so much higher and after the recruits saw how the state was behind the Warriors in 2006/2007.

Earlier this season I went on and on about clock management, 1 vs. 2 point decisions, and getting that FG unit onto the field too late in the UNLV game. I hope things are much, much better next year in that area. I *do* believe that things will be better, but that could be my wanting to be optimistic…and because they can’t get much worse.

By the way, Padron started this season as SMU’s #3 QB. All of their QBs are back next year, plus JJ has a commit from a very good high school QB from St. Louis (he had an offer from Wisconsin and other schools). JJ also has a transfer from NMSU waiting to play next season–that QB was supposed to start this season for NMSU, but he transferred out when they had their coaching change and ran their scout team this season.

again, thank you all for the birthday wishes!

Garret

you sure about SL QB, i thought that Utah State had the inside track on him

menehune,

thanks

fox primetime is re airing the CIF HS championships at 11 pm tonight. Jane Crosan a 2011 recruit of interest, and Emily Hartong, a 2010 commit will be playing for Los Alamitos.

Hey lefty- happy birthday whenever it is… 😆

I cleaned out my freezer today. That was fun. It is still full but at least I know what is in there now.

199 and counting

ok.

Now I can sleep.

Have a great day tomorrow!

HA! Well, according to the blog clock it was on time.

Eh No Make 181,
Garret 183,
Hasiak,

guys i get optimism. neva say neva…

if was me, there are two people I’d be talking to right now. da kapolei coach. da father. and the people i’d be taking with me to talk to these guys would be Coach, Gordy, Ron Lee. and not Miano.

And I would be talking to each of them separately. And then I would talk to the kid, find out from his dad what his inner angst is all about first. something is bothering the kid.. thats my gut talking.

coo, coo d1

this ode is fo da Kapolei kid….

desperado…
why don’t you come to your senses…
you’ve been out riding fences for so long now.
oh you’re a hard one
but i know you got your reasons
these things that aren’t pleasing you
can hurt you somehow…..

don’t you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
she’ll beat you if she’s able
you know the queen of hearts is your best bet.
now it seems to me some fine things
have been laid upon your table
but you only want the ones
that you can’t get.

desperado, you ain’t getting no younger
your pain and your hunger
they’ve driven you home.

get samoa lines in da Eagles song….
you can play da whole tune in your head
get the idea.

i say take advantage of all the goodies you get right here.

a shooting star,
sometimes only get one chance fo burn bright
enough for all us to see.
here’s hoping you gonna get 2.

Happy New Year.

Wow! Survived a full day and night of the bestest foods and family. So much for any semblence of a diet — not that even pretend to be on one any more.

And . . .

How could they not have L. Peters on the list for WAC Team of the decade?

Bet you have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
