Milca: ‘Mahalo and aloha’
The Rainbow Wahine’s softball season ended with yesterday’s loss to Nevada in the WAC Tournament. Here’s senior rightfielder Tanisha Milca’s final diary entry:
FRIDAY — With four teams left in the WAC Tournament, we thought our chances of winning it were good as we had defeated all the teams at least once during the regular season. Knowing we were going to play one of our biggest conference rivals, Nevada—which had knocked us out of the tourney the past three years—was extra incentive for today’s game. We wanted end that streak. The game was a battle, but after 10 innings, the outcome once again was unfortunately not in our favor and our 2009 season had finally come to an end.
After our post-game talk, the team circled around for one last “BOWS!” and then the tears began to flow from the seniors. On the ride back to our hotel, I reflected on my four-year career at UH, and I found myself smiling because I realized that I have been extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to play Division I softball for Hawaii. During my time here, I experienced winning a conference championship and played in two NCAA Regionals and one Super Regional. I also thought about how much I’m going to miss playing the game…miss our three hour practices…and most of all miss playing softball with a great group of girls and coaches.
I am very grateful to Coach Bob and the University of Hawai`i for giving me the opportunity to live out my childhood dream of being a Rainbow Wahine. As my career comes to an close, I leave knowing that I lived every day to the fullest, gave everything I had, and I have no regrets. To my teammates past and present, and to future players yet to come, my only words of wisdom are to enjoy every moment because it goes by really quickly. Work Hard, Play Hard, Be Smart, and Have FUN!!
Mahalo and Aloha,
Tanisha Milca #6

Good morning to everyone near and far!
Wow. Top 5!
Back to the previous blog to finish reading the posts.
Pisa handled his release with class.
Even before the draft it was clear that the Rams were planning to replace Pisa. I didn’t realize that he was actually 20 pounds under his listed playing weight…when the new coach emphasizes size over speed, he wasn’t a good fit for their system anymore.
The NY Times rates Utah State #115, which means that 3 of the 6 lowest rated teams are in the WAC…the bottom 3 of the WAC is lower rated than the bottom of *any* other conference. I hope that all 3 improve quickly, which would earn the WAC some needed respect.
Good Morning All!
Hi Garret and dj!
How is the weather for you guys? Cool morning here but it is going to warm up nicely through the day. Yeah!
Liz . . .
You awake?
HA! Just returning the favor. Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!
wafan,
yes, its a brisk morning, but looking for sun and a nice afternoon. It’s supposed be even nicer tomorrow
Milca,
You one class wahine. Enjoyed your memoir note above. May you enjoy and be successful at whatever you pursue in the future, God bless you, and thanks for representing UH and Hawaii.

Tanisha Milca, that is.
ST – Thank you for posting Tanisha Milca‘s journal entry. I didn’t see it in the on-line HA this morning. I guess they ran out of space? I think we’re all going to miss this class of senior players… 🙁 😀 🙄
Congratulations to Liz_Kauai!!! 😆 😯 😆
I think she now holds to record for consecutive posts on the WB. She had 31 posts in a row between 12:35 am (#465) and 12:53 am (#495). She would have had even more except for Ralph! 🙄
Re: Pisa – Wow… 220# is awfully light and may explain some of the miss tackles I’ve seen, and his being somewhat injury prone. The NFL is a high impact game. Momentum is key. Momentum = velocity (speed) X Mass!!! 😯 🙄 😯
Good morning.
See you all whoever going tonight.
Off to work.
C-Ya! Mr. C – 😳 I guess I won’t but have a terrific day and lots of fun at tonight’s KK! 😀 😯 😆

It REALLY feels like Warrior season now!!! 500+ entries!
A-Joe… we have out Tsai-ko priorities, eh?

Good Morning Tsaiko Villagers!
Howdy FT!…Could you speed it up a bit? Patti said you started typing last Monday! Heheheh!
Hey, before you know it, we’ll be talking about the team right there with you and Patti – in Vegas – on Game Day! I’m looking forward to it along with all of the Tsaiko Roadies.
Thanks ST for posting Milca’s entry.
It’s hard to go out on a note like that for the senior members of any team, but nothing can compare to the entire “body of work” over their careers.
They’ll get over it and the senior members of the team will now move forward and UP-ward with their lives and the returning Rainbow Wahine will only be hungrier for another shot again in 2010!!!
GO WAHINE!!!
Brew!…My eyes come all miss-com-boo-boo-lated tryin’ fo read your grafitti. Take it easy braddah, udda wize I might have to make one appointment wit Doctah Ralph. If I come out all cock-eye, I goin’ fly my slippah at you in Vegas!

Great Morning All!
Nice entry by Tanisha Milca. Very good to read her attitude of gratitude; obviously she’s a winner no matter the result of this season. Although I don’t include myself as one of the Wahine Softball faithful, I want to extend a Mahalo to Tanisha and all her Senior sisters for their contributions to the UHAD and hope they will move forward and use the education they received to its best use.
….obviously, I’ve already had lots of kope! 😆
Gonna have to hope and wish on Sunday. The NCAA softball tourney selection show is at 10am on ESPNU.
Coach Coolen said many times before that this season would be different than the last and many before as their RPI wasn’t as strong (90-ish I think) and only winning the WAC tourney would get them into the tournament, or at least finishing 2nd, maaaaaaaaybe 3rd.
However, Graham Hayes from ESPN presents some arguements to give Na Wahine a bid if certain circumstances were to happen. This is one of those rare instances where ESPN actually does their homework regarding a UH athletic program:
Despite the struggles early on in the season and being eliminated from the WAC tournament, being considered by some to still get an at large bid is quite remarkable and ANOTHER testament to the effort of the Wahine coaching staff and the players.
Class program with class people involved!
RIP Chuck Daly.

Always wondered amount of $$$ received by school from a bowl game.
Paper says Sugar Bowl payout is $14,000,000. How much does each school receive?
Schools that grumble about “losing” money on a Bowl game – it is totally under their control on who goes and $$$ spent – have absolutely NO sympathy for schools who bring the “world” and grumble on losing $$$.
‘k gotta work a bit before tonight.
CUsoon!
michelle wie shot 2 over 73 is t28 after round 3 at 3 under total.
co leaders lindsey wright and cristie kerr are at 15 under total
wie did not hit her irons close to the hole and could not make any 20-35 foot putts like she did yesterday.
R.I.P. Coach Chuck Daly coach of the best team ever assembled in the world the Original Dream Team…
NA WAHINE REPRESENT AGAIN!!!
On da field and off da field, they continue to make UH and the fans proud!
from hawaiiathletics.com:
Morning all…
Nice story… enjoyed the read.
AND Congrats to the UH Men’s Tennis Team for not only winning the WAC for the 2nd consecutive year but for garnering their 1st ever NCAA tournament win over a very good 20th ranked Oklahoma team. Next up, though, is #7 UCLA. NO shame.. so skaid…Go geeve ’em! Whootah!
A-House:
Schools actually do lose money on most bowls because of the requirements. For instance, if UH goes to the Hawaii Bowl, it has to stay a certain amount of days in a hotel (I’m thinking six) and pay for the meals and ground transportation. Then it has to pony up money for bonuses and gifts.
Now if it’s a regular-season home game, UH only has hotel and ground transportation for two days. No bonuses. Only four meals. No gifts.
I think Boise State is one of the few schools that doesn’t stay in a hotel the night before a home game.
Is football the only sport in which staying at a hotel the night before a home game is traditional? What other sports do this?
A-House,
Bowl payouts *really* vary. You cannot use one of the huge BCS bowl payouts to wonder why some teams lose money when going to a bowl game. You mentioned $14 million for teams that go to the Sugar Bowl…what about the $325k that the New Orleans Bowl paid each team or the $300k that the papajohns bowl is estimated to pay each team? Huge contrast, and going to the low paying bowl games basically guarantees a school will lose money.
There used to be a minimum that a bowl was required to pay, but apparently that changed (according to an article from 2 years ago, so maybe things changed back) and now bowls negotiate with conferences. For example, when Arizona State played in the Hawaii Bowl in 2006 (I was there!), Arizona State just got paid $398k–I’m sure that they lost a lot of money considering they had to fly the team to Hawaii and put them in a Waikiki hotel for a week during holiday season. I’m sure that Notre Dame lost a lot of money by going to the Hawaii Bowl, but they make so much money from the BCS and TV that it doesn’t matter.
I don’t understand why the Big East is okay with the Texas Bowl paying the Big 12 team $750k and the Big East team just $500k when the Big 12 team will have much lower travel costs…but I guess the Big 12 team is a bigger draw for fans. The Big East team is guaranteed to lose money with that low of a payout.
There are a fair number of bowls that pay $750k or less to each team, far lower than the $14 million figure you referenced when wondering why teams lose money by going to bowl games!
Here is a slightly old article about bowl payouts.
Hilo Rain,
From what I understand, no other sport stays in a hotel the night before a home game. The only other big revenue sport is basketball, but they play twice per week and definitely do not stay in a hotel before home games.
Heck, didn’t UH men’s volleyball take a red-eye flight and play a game the day they arrived? Plus, they sleep 3 to a room (football would never do that) and they eliminated the pre-game meal to save money.
wafan,
Sorry I didn’t answer your question this morning, but I took my kids to their sports class this morning. My girls had their first football class this morning and it was really cute to watch them learn some skills and run around for an hour!
Our weather report is pretty consistent right now: the next 7 days are supposed to have a high of 72, low around 60, with morning clouds because we are near the ocean. Inland gets up to the high 70s or low 80s.
Good morning everyone!
See ya at the KK tonite.
I’m sad to report that my girls said they like soccer more than football. Faith had soccer (AYSO) last year so she is much more comfortable with it than football, which I’m sure is a factor. At least my kids are learning the rules (from me) and getting some experience with football skills, so hopefully they will attend Warrior games with me in the future!
I hope that everyone has a great time as usual at the KK! I’ll check in with the blog around midnight to see if there are any early reports on things from there.
(Sorry, LizK) GO MARYKNOLL!!! Wish I could go to the game to see them play Kaua’i today, but gotta get ready for the KK for Frank.
Congratulations to the graduating seniors of the Wahine SB team! Good luck in your next endeavors. Hope to make more SB games next season.
Congrats to the UH men’s tennis team for winning the WAC for a 2nd year in a row! Wow!
Thanks ST and Garret for your responses to my bowl payout ?
Let me rephase my question. If bowl payout is $14,000,000 – does each school receive $14,000,000 or do they split the $14,000,000?
Happy belated birthday wishes to Lori and Lorna.
Spoke to Princess Leila last nite at the ILH Track Championships.
Loa I would have said hi to you too…but I don’t think I know you!
Hi LizK!

Oh yeah…go Maryknoll..game should be on TV OC16..but I will be at Castle for a track club meeting.
See everyone tonite!
addaknowjoe,

somethin gone wacky with this site..says I already said what I’m trying to post?????
A-House,
That is a very good question, one without a simple answer unfortunately. Some conferences pool their money, so each conference team gets a share from the total pool and the team that goes to the game might get a small bonus from the pool. Remember that for BCS conference teams, one spot is guaranteed in a BCS game for their conference champion…that money is already figured into their bowl pool that they will split.
For non BCS-conference teams, no BCS payday is guaranteed so there is a big bonus for the team that goes. Also, the other non-BCS conferences get a piece of the BCS bowl payout…so, if $14 mil is paid by the Sugar Bowl for each team, the conference the team is in might get $9 or $10 million. The WAC gives about half to the team in the BCS bowl game and splits the rest.among the other schools.
A-House,
For the Big East, it looks like making a BCS bowl is worth about a million more than making another big bowl game.
If I remember correctly, making a BCS bowl game for Texas gives them an additional $2 million or so, so the Big 12 splits the money less equally. Of course a WAC team making a BCS game gets an additional $4.5 million or so as a reward. So, the answer to your question is that it depends on the conference, but no team takes home the whole $17 million or so the BCS bowl pays for each team.
Franklin earns a 3.96 gpa and UH honors her with Phi Beta Kapppa and she’s only second team!..she must have had one B+ and the rest A’s. but she’s giving up psychology to enter Culinary School, someday we’ll she her in the company of Emeril, the iron chef, etc…good luck Julie.
rainbows 7-6 top 6. it was 7-1…. OH ME OH MY!!! also sac st is leading nevada top 9.
rainbows 10-6 bottom 6…whew.
rainbows 12-6 top 7…ahh
Will the lead hold?
13-6 ‘Bows, Top 7
rainbows 13-6. another hr (mcdonald)
One of my last semesters at Manoa, I had something along those lines.
But it was more like one “B” and the rest “A…..Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! WHAT THE HELL???!!!!????” 😆
looking at the standings, a lot of teams played between 15 to 16 games and we already completed 21 games…Sac State played only 15 thru yesterday and they are within 3 wins of us…Sac St is in last place but unless we sweep the gap is closing fast unless someone else bombs Sac St
is the game in suspension? what’s the score?
15-7, btm 9th
Ralph,
Got ray-jyo?
One away
thanks, 8 run lead should hold..got to take two games.
Garret:
Appreciate your lenghty explanation for “bowl” pay-outs.
If I digest your WAC dissertation, the conference keeps half to divide equally amongst all the members and the school playing in the BCS bowl gets another $4-5 mil.
Does anyone know how much UH actually received from the WAC’s share (split amongst all teams) and how much they got for playing in the Sugar Bowl? I recall some mention of about $4.5 mil directly to UH.
Accepting Garret’s explanation, if each team/conference gets $14,000,000 but the WAC receives only $9-10 mil, where did the other $4 – $5 mil go and why? Did it go the Sugar Bowl committee to cover expenses for the next year? Did the WAC keep it to cover expenses?
BTW, how does the WAC generate income to operate the conference, pay Benson and his stooges for all their bennies, office expenses, etc? I would find it difficult to accept that all teams pay and “equal share” to fund the WAC as the bottom teams don’t have the funds to pay an equal share. That being the case, any bowl money should be distributed using the same formula. This may be an incentive for the bottom teams to really improve to “share in the wealth”.
Again, with so many teams from BCS conferences going to bowl games, the rich get richer and the non-BCS conferences suck wind!! Therefore, if a “play-off” system were to be implimented and conferences are limited to the number of schools in bowl games, the “wealth” from all the bowl games can be thrown into a single pot and divided equally amongst all the conferences. The conference can then impliment its own system to distribute the booty.

Tanisha Milca is a great role model for girls of all ages. She’s a hard worker on and off the field and she is a woman of great character. I wish her the best as continues on to the next phase in her life. Thank you and good luck, Tanisha!
Have a great time tonight everyone — as you each exercise your small muscles!!! Wish I were there to witness the sweet cacaphonies and enjoy the fellowship. Whoo-hoo!!!
Uh. Small muscles = vocal cords.
Geez. Get your minds out of the gutters.
10-4, wafan!
USC wins game 3, now 2-1 USC over Irvine. who ever gets the UH job better start recruiting taller players because its become a power game with tall players…
but the tall guys must have game, got to dig and pass from the back line like Irvine and USC. USC hitting .386 while Irvine is at .321…excellent play.
UH mens volleyball post gets only 25 applicants apparently. We know Charlie Wade, MIke Sealy, Allen Allen, Mark Presho, Tino Reyes, and Scotty Wong. That’s 7, I wonder who the other ones are.
Irvine rolling in game 4, 21-11
The other $5 million or so that the WAC didn’t get was split amongst the other non-BCS conferences.
The four remaining non-BCS conferences split the final $5 million or so using some type of strength-of-conference formula, so in terms of how much each conference got from UH’s BCS berth, the Mountain West likely got more than Conference USA, the MAC, and the Sun Belt. I think I read somewhere that San Diego State netted ~ $150,000 (or something like that) alone on UH’s BCS berth.
I agree with your assessment about the rich getting richer, A-House. Given the trends we’ve seen in the college football landscape recently implemented by BCS teams (Million dollar assistant coaches? You gotta be kidding me!), I feel we’re slowly being pushed towards a two-class college football atmosphere in Division I-A. If we aren’t already there, the wheels are certainly in motion, with the BCS powers being the catalyst for this increased disparity.
Pushing through change within the college football system is difficult. The BCS powers are entrenched and don’t want to give up any power (or $$$). I’m of the impression that it would take an act of Congress to change it, but nowadays they have other more important things to focus on.
Mark Presho is an assistant coach at UC Irvine
is Reid Sunahara applying?
A-House,
The exact payout that UH got from the Sugar Bowl was: $4,385,555. Looking up stuff like that easily is one of the benefits of my blog. Like CRW says, the difference between the Sugar Bowl payout and the money the WAC got was the money that went to the other non-BCS conferences. CRW is also correct when he said that San Diego State got about $150k from that Sugar Bowl money (I remember posting that article). Each WAC team got a similar amount of money from Utah’s trips to BCS bowls.
From everything I’ve read, each team *does* pay an equal share for their WAC dues. However, each team gets the same amount of money from the NCAA basketball money and the ESPN TV money–no matter what school actually earned the money for the conference, it is split evenly among all conference schools. The financial incentives you are hoping for are sadly not there…UH even *loses* money when it goes to the Hawaii Bowl! When BSU chose to play in the Poinsettia Bowl and the Hawaii Bowl instead of their home bowl, it lost a lot of money for the conference (lower Humanitarian Bowl attendance revenue)…and UH shared equally in those losses with the rest of the WAC schools.
I like the way the Big 12 splits up their TV money–TV appearances give a big bonus to the schools, so there is a big financial incentive for teams to do well enough for TV to want to show them. ESPN loves UH and BSU, but UH and BSU get the same amount of money from TV that Utah State and Idaho get! Old contracts did have some financial incentive for schools that moved home games away from Saturday (kind of like an “inconvenience fee”), but I’m not sure that the current deal has that. I’m hoping that there isn’t the same deal now because UH is playing off-Saturday road games and BSU vetoed a Friday game at Aloha Stadium.
irvine is the national champs…
second title in 3 years, Irvine in on a roll in vb and baseball with sperew and Gilliespie…good coach can make the difference…they go out a get good players and make them better.
brian ching on espn 224, soccer game…
congrats to UC Irvine,
great match 🙂
Hope everyone has a good time at the KK. I’m at the Shock game and will be posting the game scores throughout the game. You can follow the score at http://www.twitter.com/mitchopalooza. Or click on my name. Will let you know if Hercules Satele plays tonight.
Satele is not playing tonight. That sucks
we haven’t any OL player make an NFL team in the last 2 years….can’t think of any FA offers….maybe Hercules at Arizona…FA or tryout?
Dang, Alexander is going to throw the game…literally and figuratively! 👿
is there a score?
5-4 Hawaii
Ryan Morford broke the homerun record with a two run HR in the 2nd! He’s tricky!
Sac State beat Nevada twice in doubleheader so now statistically ahead of Hawaii and they will be tied if Hawaii wins.
not good news regarding sac st…they were in last place…tied for last place, ugh!
Top of the fifth, Ralph.
Vinnie has another RBI double off the wall centerfield.
Bows have 5 doubles and HR in this game.
hmm.. no game tracker on the second game?
I know…mih. So at least I am able to listen on my digital cable…channel 884.
MIH, rob25 – Gametracker from ‘dawgs site available. Click on my name for URL. 😀
Hawaii is ahead 9-4 bottom of the fifth…but not a safe lead by any means!!
GO BOWS!! BEAT TE BULLDOGS!!
Sorry 😳
GO BOWS!! BEAT THE BULLDOGS!!
Thanks Brew, but for the first three to four innings it was stuck on the first game stats.
You sure you aren’t coming to the KK?? 😉
Interesting how Sac State has taken three straight from Nevada and San Jose State took three straight from NMSU.
Good job on the double play…Kramer comes in to do his job!
**I doubt that I could beat Liz’s record for consecutive unbroken posts!!**
Don’t I have something to do tonight?
Will be interesting to see the updated WAC standings after the conclusion of this game.
Good luck to uhfan808’s son in the State judo tourney today!
CRW – Yes it will, but we will still have to wait until next weekend is through to see how it all shakes out.
Good thing that I have my WAC tourney tickets already!
I’m ready for Blake and Devon…or at least listening to Stretch have “conversations” with them! 😯 🙄 😯
Help! I got stopped at TSA because of the POI. We are landing at 7:20 ish now. I need to let curveball know as he was picking me up and I cannot find his number. e
11-5 ‘Bows, Top 7.
Keep in mind the second game is a 7-inning match.
All is good. Tsai-ko wireless works great! See you latahs. WITH POI. Dagnabbit!
Garret & CRW:
Mahalos for your very insightful explanations into how the “bowl” $$$ are divided amongst all the football teams across the country.
I’m sure it does help the smaller schools that have NO chance in going to a bowl game.
Perhaps the day will come when the WAC can send 5-7 schools every year to a bowl game increasing the “coffers” for each school in the conference.
Updated WAC Standings, assuming the ‘Bows hang on to beat Fresno:
Team………………………..Record……Pct…..Home…..Away…..Streak
San Jose State………….11-6……….647……6-2 …….5-4……..W4
Louisiana Tech………….11-9……….550……5-3……..6-6……..W6
Nevada………………………9-9………..500……4-6……..5-3………L5
New Mexico State………9-10………474……5-6……..4-4………L3
Sacramento State………8-9………..471……3-3……..5-6……..W3
Hawai‘i……………………..11-12……..455……6-6……..4-6……..W2
Fresno State………………8-12……..421…….6-5……..2-6……..L2
Aiyah, I forgot to update the percentages. Let me try again:
Team………………………..Record……Pct…..Home…..Away…..Streak
San Jose State………….11-6……….647……6-2 …….5-4……..W4
Louisiana Tech………….11-9………550……5-3……..6-6……..W6
Nevada………………………9-9……….500……4-6……..5-3………L5
Hawai‘i……………………..11-12…….478……6-6……..4-6……..W2
New Mexico State………9-10………474……5-6……..4-4………L3
Sacramento State………8-9……….471……3-3……..5-6……..W3
Fresno State………………8-12……..400…….6-5……..2-6……..L2
It’s all percentages separating 2nd through 7th in the WAC Standings.
14-5 ‘Bows, still Top 7.
whoa… 15 – 5 Bows still top of the 7th.
Now 15-5 ‘Bows.
Bows gotta close it out now… three outs away from another road win and two in a row towards a come back.
Yeah go Bows……………….
Winnah winnah chicken dinnah.
15-6 Bows.
That was key because the percentages don’t mean as much as the number of losses. As Skip Carey used to say — over and over and over — you can’t make up a loss. (He also used to identify players by only their first name, too, which was sorta sorta irritating.)
If I did the number crunching correctly with the WAC Baseball situation, I think the doubleheader sweep by the ‘Bows have secured them a berth in the WAC Tournament.
I think Nevada has to win a game against Sacramento for UH to cinch a spot.
Men’s VB:
They’re gonna probably narrow it down to maybe six, if all by telephone, four or five if we’re talking visits.
If I had a guess, the finalists would be: Tino, Presho, Wade, Wong, maybe Sealy.
Ronald Larsen got the UC Riverside job, so he’s out.
Everybody loves John Speraw, but he didn’t apply. Besides, UC Irvine is building him a house on campus.
Interesting thing is that three players met with the AD a couple of weeks ago. They made recommendations about the qualities they seek in the next coach, but, I don’t believe, they mentioned specific names. I only know this because I was standing in hallway when one of the players requested a meeting.
Yep, CRW is correct again.
Rainbows clinch WAC tourney spot.
Yea Bows!
Thanks for the VB update.
Thanks for the confirmation, ST.
Everyone who bought WAC Tournament tickets can now take a deep breath now knowing the ‘Bows will be there.
Yay, BaseBows!
Keep it up!!!
Liz . . .
Still in Lihue or in HNL?
Funny about the poi. Were they afraid it was going to pop and make the inside of the plane sticky?
Or, were the TSA clowns going to confiscate it and eat it themselves?
The WAC’d tournament should be a good one if the BaseBows are peaking.
I am not pulling a Liz!
But 200!
Whoo-hoo!!!
Dang. Have to play by myself.
Wait. Let me rephrase that . . .
Where is everyone?
Dinner was at the Chinese Super Buffet. Yum.
They added a grill area and had kal-bi. Oh man, was that good!
wafan,
I suspect everyone’s at Frank25’s R&R Party.
Their noodles have gone downhill, though. But the vegi’s are still tops!
CRW . . .
Thank goodness you are here. The echoing and the voices . . .
Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
I hope the weather tomorrow is pretty for Mrs. Pomai.
The Paralysis is setting in. Maybe I will be back later tonight. If not, see you all tomorrow!
Looking forward to photos from Frank’s KK!!!
No kidding, wafan.
Gets weird talking to yourself after a while.
I’m outta here for a little bit.
Whoooooosh!!!!!!
With the Bows coming home on a tear and wanting to make up for all their previous losses — especially those in late innings, this tournament should be exciting to watch. The Bows will be entering the tournament with renewed vigor and higher expectations. It’s the edge they will need to take the tournament.
Wafan. Loaded up and ready fly!
Hope you all have fun at the KK! Welcome back Frank!

The Four Corners is a famous and popular tourist spot because it is supposed to be where Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona meet (the only place in the US where 4 state boundaries come together)…unfortunately, the current monument is actually 2.5 miles west of where it should be and all of those tens of thousands of tourists and millions spent on the monument were at the wrong spot.

Quick congrats to the Baseball Bows- whew! See you in the WAC Tourney baby!

Bad news — the BaseBows kicked themselves out of an at-large berth with the recent slump.
Good news — that was a bit of an unlikely scenario anyway I guess, and the BaseBows can at least still get to regionals by winning the WAC tourney at home. There won’t be a “host college isn’t playing situation” this time around (thanks to Committed Road Warrior and ST for doing the math for us). And the BaseBows picked a good time to break out of that slump.
garret,
dangit, so you’re telling me my butt wasn’t on the real 4 corners?!?!?
too bad, i’m going to tell everyone it was!
heh.
CRW,
do we clinch a berth because we are short a game due to the crappy weather at nevada? everyone else has 4 games left. we have a 11-12 record. how do we clinch?
Krazy Karaoke is ROCKIN!
Congrats to Stephen who was voted #2 BEST of the BEST journalist!
A-Joe and JJ are doing Ikona. Falsetto extraordinaire!
Tiger is Houdini.
Just when you think you have seen it all from the world’s best golfer….Tiger Woods continues to amaze.
Today was not his best day dispite stiching together 5 birdies, Woods added 3 bogeys.
His birdie on the Par 4, 6th, ran 47’10” from one end of the green to another and took several routes to get there.
Just a regular spectacular shot.
His most incredible feat, however, was a bogey on the 11th.
Even then, it was simply incredible because it invloved a series of 4 consecutive shots with a mirror.
Tiger teed-off the 558 yard, Par-5,11th, hooking his ball 283 yards wide-left over the rough and into the native trees.
His ball came to rest against a tree and tightly nudged-up against the right-side of its trunk.
Woods calmly, took out an iron, spun it around, and hit as a lefty, driving it 112 y to the right intermediate rough where a big oak tree blocked any straight approach to the green.
So, he hit it trying a cut-shot around the tree over the water hazards and fell short just left.
His ball traveled 173 y to the left rough 37 yards from the hole.
His lye was horrible and the ball couldnt be seen in the thick grass.
He miraculousily powered the ball 42 yards to the green but the sun had tried its surface and the ball raced by the flag to the edge of the green and trickled down a slope and into a drain, below the green and 18′ from the hole.
So, with wedge, he pitches to within 8″ and taps in for a most remarkable bogey.
In all, Tiger made 4 incredible shots involving improvisation with his club, switched to lefty, made a cut-shot around a tree, powered out of thick-grass on a slope where his ball was not visible and pitched a shot from a drain below the green to within 8″ of the hole….yikes!!
TI-GRrrrrrrrr!!!!
Thanks for the report!
On the KK side. ST is a dancing machine!
ST!…I can’t laugh anymore or any harder! The room is rockin’ and there’s no way out!
C_C. You buddy is a rappin machine!
Good Evening Tsaikos still awake –
Mrs. A-House reporting in…just left a still-rockin’ KK for Frank 25…and what a rip-roaring good time is going on until they close down the place.
– First, we bid a fond farewell to Ku’uleialoha Patton. Attended a beautiful memorial Celebration of Life at Palama Settlement hall. Pomai sends his love to all Tsaikos for their loving thoughts and prayers.
– SJMacro – You are one of our precious Tsaiko jewels. Photodocumenting Ku’uleialoha’s service for Pomai is a beautiful gift of love.
– Now for some funny observations…
– Frank25 – It was a pleasure to finally meet you, hug you, give you a lil’ kiss, too. Please excuse me if I seemed to hover around you more than I should have, and also find excuses to hug you more times than I should have. Perhaps it was that oh-so good smelling cologne your wife bought you. You’re good looking, but when you smell good too…that takes you over the top! Welcome home!…and enjoy your brief respite with family and friends.
– Rob25 – You’re “one in a million” indeed. Thanks for coordinating a really fun evening.
– Stretch – What is it about you that brings Tsaikos to their feet, cheering you on like some kind of celebrity every time you enter the room…not only the first time, but the second and third. Rumor is he wants to run for public office.
– Mr. C – Thanks for watching the “mens” restroom door as I did my business in a mad rush in the “mens” restroom. Hey…only get one toilet and every wahine knows takes three times as long for a kane to go then one wahine. Just don’t flash your badge at me again. I promise to keep these “incidents” to a minimum. No forget now…secret phrase…”meet at Ritchie’s”…LOL
– Hawaiian Bod – So happy to finally meet you…and equally happy that you finally got your prize from last football season. Mahalo for signing my book.
– J – Hope you got some nice pics of ST with his cake. Your camera equipment looks so “professional”, I thought you were one of the HA’s photographs paid to cover ST’s big celebration…
– Mrs. Kekoa – You looked stunning this evening. I could feel your power and well-being returning to normal, and that made me very, very happy. Continue to take good care until all is well again.
– A-House – I tried to dance with you as Pride sang “One in a Million” for Frank 25 and Rob25, but you didn’t hug me back, so that’s why I went up to “group hug” dance with the star couple. It’s fun to stuff $$ down the front of a lovely wahine…even though I’m also a wahine.
– Koa Mahu – I felt your presence at the KK tonight. I know you are about ready to “come out of the closet” very, very soon. Girl/guy/it…just do it!
– ST – And finally, a genuine heart-felt congratulatory hug (( )) to you, ST. You are the one and only #1 journalist in A-House ohana’s opinion. It is not right to lump columnists and sports writers/editors in one category of “journalist”. Congratulations to Lee Cataluna for winning first place this year, but next year, let’s not mix apples and oranges.
Good Night Everybody…A-House, Midori7 and I had a fun evening with special friends…
Mrs Bulla! Her boots were made for rockin’ and that’s just what she did! Yee Haw!
BowsForever:
I don’t think the ‘Bows have been knocked out of an at-large berth……….yet. I do think they’re still on the fringe, though, and will be more closely scrutinized by the selection committee once the automatic berths have been filled.
With the Fresno series accounted for, Warren Nolan has the ‘Bows RPI at 33. Not bad, but I think we’ll be competing with Texas State and College of Charleston for one of the last at-large bids. I think the ‘Bows will have to go deep into the WAC Tournament to make their resume more appealing for an at-large.
Of course, all this assumes we take care of business against a bad Utah Valley team. Split/lose that series and I think our chances for an at-large will definitely be gone by then, regardless of how far they get in the WAC Tournament.
Win the WAC Tournament and this at-large talk is all for not.
chawan_cut:
I don’t know what ST’s rationale is, but I have the ‘Bows clinching a berth in the WAC Tournament based on the Fresno @ Sacramento series next weekend. Currently in the WAC, Fresno is in last place and Sacramento is second-to-last.
Regardless of how that series shapes up, whether one team sweeps/takes 3 of 4 or they both split the series, one of the two will have a worse conference record than UH, and thus a worse conference winning %.
The actual number of scenarios are endless, and the number crunching I’ve done so far shows one of three teams staying home: Fresno, Sacramento, or NMSU.
Rest assured the ‘Bows are in the WAC Tournament. As for seeding, we’ll have to wait until next weekend to determine that.
Mrs. A-House — Thanks for the report from the KK!
Going to sleep for good. Whooooooosh!!!!!!!!
Home safely after a rip roarin’ time at the kk!
Da Esme hits just kept on coming!
A-joe handled the mic like a real pro. Thanks to Pride and company for helping him find his way!
