Monday ramblings

What position do they play?

Kyle Kafentzis’ son is a QB, if I am not mistaken.

ST – Sure, technically, we’re monitors, but Al and I prefer the term “Komodo Dragons.”

I’m the younger prettier one in the top pic. I was green with envy over the size of bulla’s cruise ship room at the time of that photo.

Al is the older, rougher looking one in the bottom pic.

• Josh Pacheco found this item: WAC/C-USA.

What does it mean?

It means: ” … nothing is done until it’s done … and sometimes not even then. … ”

And, thankfully, the only guy interested in stuff like this, is on hiatus.

Good morning everyone!

ST: “…Al and DPK can serve as monitors.”

😎

Shades of January 26, 2007 ! 😛

#7, ai-eee-soos –

“… nothing is done until its done… and somtimes not even then…”

You should add to that:

“and all things are subject to change at a moments notice for no dang apparent reason at all sometimes. “

One AQ post season for the alliance. If its guaranteed, wouldn’t that be better than two that are not guaranteed? So the question is, would that one be automatic and guaranteed?

“According to sources:

* The NCAA told the MWC and C-USA that it would award the merged league only one AQ berth to postseason events. So instead of two 8-10 team leagues and two AQs, there would be one 16+ team league with only one AQ.

(Think that went over well with MWC/C-USA officials?)”

——————————————————————-

Aaaahhhh the NCAY-YAI-YAI. The curse that keeps on taking…

Fire the NCAA.

It is an out of control monster.

Probably it is controlled by the BCS…

Re: the Mercury News blog post, is it really possible that the MWC and C-USA folks did not follow the $$$ before proposing merger? Not getting the corporate slice of postseason money (Memphis example) and losing the “if you leave we’ll fine you” threats because of dissolution before merging — if this is true, gotta wonder why these financial folks did not identify these problems.

On another note, does this mean MWC may appreciate us a tiny bit more? Might it be time to look at the scale of the travel-expense agreement, for example?

Why Shouldnt the sons of former Warriors be a priority in recruiting?

Re: my #9

Remember the old cartoon series, “Fractured Fairy Tales”?

Here’s my quick version….

On January 26. 2007, ST decided to step back and watch some of his bloggers as hosts. He gave each an intro and new blog entry page for 2 hour shifts. Of course, he monitored it, along with his fellow Advertiser staff hosts.

It was bold experiment. But the blog was mysteriously still alive long after the football season ended and the hit count was very high (I hear). Of course, Blog Party 1 was responsible for that after faces were placed to blog names.

ST set the following order for hosts:

(1) Da Punchbowl Kid

(2) Doris Sullivan (aka PIAA Doris)

(3) ErichH

(4) Bulla

(5) Al

The Al Show

It’s time to bring in the closer — Al.

The board’s all yours.

(And since you’re the last guest host, and I have to cover volleyball tonight, please turn out the lights when you’re done.)

Apparently, Al forgot to turn off the lights. 😯

The blog started to run 24/7…

…with notable help from Long Time UH Fan, las vegas, and FloridaTed. 😐

GOOD MORNING HAWAII!

Be interested in seeing GARRET’s take on that Jon Wilner HOTLINE article.

The Bulla Show

Buckle up, folks, we present the man, the myth . . . Bulla.

oooops, my bad manners,

GOOD MORNING TO ALL TSAIKOS,

DPK, mahalo for monitoring us, but you know Big Al is lurking out there somewhere….hmmmm, what a motley duo although fortuitous for the opportunity…still motley….. 🙂

While it’s great to recruit sons of former players, is there really an interest by a new coaching staff?

For us long time supporters, it’s surely a good thing as we can reminisce about how well their father’s did for UH.

For Kafentzis family, unsure how they view UH as the last 2 did not contribute as much as their Dads.

No chance for UH for both players – IMHO – wat U tink, al?

morning

#6 beg to differ but if your son was offered schollies from those schools you let him still go UH.

this is not knowing if UH is interested or offered him anything.

Heard from last week that the CUSA/MWC merger may include SJSU, Idaho, Utah St, UTSA, North Texas… Don’t know if LaTech and New Mexico St would be picked up by Karl Benson’s Sun Belt Conference

In the case of Austin Kaventzis, 6-1, 170 frosh from Jordan high in Salt Lake, UT., it is a no-brainer for Coach Chow. Austin, was named Maxpreps high school frosh of the year. From the spread, as a frosh, he tossed for 3,199 yards, ran for another 1,377 and accounted for 45 TDs.

Will the son of Kyle be on Chow’s class of 2015 list?

Will the sun rise in the east tomorrow?

Look, the relationship is tailored for prenuptial courting.

I see a win-win for both, in terms of protege and master.

The common thread being Hawai’i and tradition.

JMO.

Congratulations Stephanie!!! Great Honor.

Good luck, ST!

Love the hall monitors today!

DPK esp. get planny experience wid monkeys…

kk, da colonel still thinking about his losses. hahahahaaa

kk, da host talking about kyle k and this wannabe is talking about Austin K. no wonda no can trust his source.

kk #44:

hay, U mus be gro up inn da pineapple and cane fiel fo undastan dis kine pidgen – no wanda eye wen flunk “Speech” au UH – da professa no can undastan wat eye was talkin!

dat firs loss on Saturday was tafu one to swallow – 2 out, runnas get on bas by error, dan tree run homma – ass Y hahd!!!

whitey,

yep spak da same thing a sat game. also seen ahouse with his fam. das why hard, had to hele on to 8 fat 8 for wash out the first game sting.

was planning to go Maui dark side for AJA state tourny but plans fall down so no can. next time

eh whitey sure da colonel was in plantation camp or concentration camp bwhaaaaaaa

Sons of former Warriors that fit UH’s systems would be good recruiting targets, as UH could have a extra edge in recruiting than recruits that have no link to UH.

SMH

Da imp. VImP… coolio. dvr is set.

GO WARRIORS!

Here is the CBS Sports article on how the MWC and CUSA will not dissolve now. One thing that confuses me is that the MWC wanted to dissolve to get out from its TV contract, so if they choose not to dissolve then doesn’t that mean that the MWC and CUSA remain separate then the MWC will continue to have their TV deal? I guess the part about sharing TV money with CUSA would be after the current TV contracts end.

In February, the two leagues announced they would dissolve and then reform as one league. The main reason for dissolving was to nullify their current television deals and then creating a new conference to maximize their media rights revenue. However, if the leagues dissolved, then they would lose their NCAA tournament units — teams earn about $250,000 for their conference for each round they advance in the NCAA tournament and that money is distributed to the conferences after a rolling six-year period. Dissolving the leagues would forfeit C-USA and the Mountain West millions of dollars.

So now C-USA and the Mountain West are no longer considering dissolving, but instead college football industry sources told CBSSports.com that the leagues are deciding between two options: merge into one league or remain as separate leagues, but share television, marketing and scheduling resources.

If you think back and don’t believe that this one day change is a negative impact for the football program

By the way, I *do* believe that there is a benefit for having the Warrior Bowl on a Saturday and that moving the game to a Friday hurts the program. There is a reason why Spring Football games all across the country are held on Saturdays, not Fridays, and most of those reasons apply to UH. If there is no difference between Friday or Saturday for the Spring Football game, why are 99+% of the games on Saturday? Here are 3 reasons that come to mind quickly.

1. The players are used to having a day off between practices, which provides time for their bodies to heal and for each practice to have maximal benefit. Note that the practices (aside from the first week when full contact is not allowed) are T/Th/S or M/W/F, but the late change makes the Warrior Bowl the day after a practice. That is a change in the routine that the UH coaches apparently did not want to have when they made their initial plans.

2. Having the Warrior Bowl on a Friday makes it harder for fans to attend. Fan attendance at these events can add to the atmosphere for the team and excitement can lead to a few more tickets being sold. Getting to campus on a Friday evening is a lot more difficult for traffic and parking, which could lead to less people going.

3. Recruits are known to attend Spring Games, and there are numerous cases of recruits saying that they made up their mind about which school they would attend after they saw the Spring Game. If a recruit doesn’t attend due to traffic/parking/etc., that is an opportunity lost for UH.

*If* there had been a master calendar and things could be planned well in advance, it would have been good if the track meet could have been held one week earlier when the football team was on Maui. I don’t think the specific Saturday would have mattered to the track meet if they had been given enough notice. I understand that the coaching change probably played a part in the confusion, but I saw that ST noted that the football coaches kept being told different days and had thought that the Saturday was open for them when they made their plans. A centralized calendar would have resulted in no downside for the track meet and a big plus for the football team…no losers, just an overall net positive.

As soon as I observed this web site I went on reddit to share some of the love with them.

The commissioners of the MWC and CUSA say that everything will be done by June…it will be nice for the speculation to be over.

Whatever format or shape the new league between C-USA and the Mountain West ends up in, it will completed by early June, the league’s commissioners said Monday.

“Early June,” C-USA commissioner Britton Banowsky said. “We need to be done by then.”

j carter is quite a rb/lb. quickness and speed. solid tackler and good instincts.

Normally I don’t care to hear baseball broadcasts. But Jim Leahey’s easy on the ears delivery makes it enjoyable to watch and listen. Pal Eldridge and Jim are a very good team. Oc-16 was smart to hire them from the other station. Kudos for Oc-16 in formatting the sports announcing team. The game calling in all UH sports is 1st class. I love the broadcasts of Wahine Softball. I enjoy watching Wahine volleyball over mens volleyball and I’ve come to enjoy Wahine Softball over mens baseball. After Derek Tatsuno and Joey Meyer, I’ve become spoiled. Norm Chow has outstanding credentials. A masters and a docturate from Utah University. An all- american as a offensive lineman at Utah. On the all best 100 Utah football team. Was part of 3 National NCAA champions. Produced 3-4 Heisman trophy winners. Was responsible for 10-15 college QB’s gping to the NFL. Gee sounds like Nick Saban. I fell in love with the R&S and always will. June Jones will always be my favorite UH coach. But Norm can be real special. I think we are in for some “big” time football. And good to see a local boy make it as HC.

colonel, lucky they no say, you can fish if you unda 40 and ova 100. hahahahaaa

be a god in wordfeud and use this help tool.. Wordfeud

Just announced that Michelle Borth will be series regular on Hawaii Five-O. She is the love interest of McGarrett in past Five-O’s. That QB who transferred from Ohio State would be the tallest starting QB “6’5” if he makes starting QB at UH. What happened to Stump. I forgot his last name, QB?

So the MWC/USA thingy went from being an “alliance” to “new league” and now “association” I wonder what’s next ?

Nice to see Garret AND Wassup Doc both posting.

Sportsbow always get da scoops!

A cult?

A Mob.

Oh wait….the NCAA already took that one! 👿

kevin, congratulations on all thw work you, pomai, and others have done to help the softbows. Thanks.

Whitey,

It’s fun. It really is. The payoff is simply getting to know the people in and around the program better (student-athletes, alums, letterwinners, coaches, parents of players, etc…). We have been fortunate and humbled to get a good perspective of those that have toiled and sacrificed a lot to maintain the program and keep it what it is today. A lot of good genuine people. A LOT.

Kevin, the RPI of 11 is TREMENDOUS. My concern is, even if we win the WAC can it go up, being that the WAC is not a power? If we lose a few games, yikes. But we gotta start somewhere and 11 is a GREAT start.

Kevin, yup, I agree. Thought Fresno higher RPI though,but loosing to those teams hurt them. Where does New Mexico State stand? Last year they gave us a bad time. Is that local girl still on their team? Bottom line: Win the WAC.

NMSU is 0-3 after getting swept by BYU in Provo.

Nohara was a sr. last season. Nohara or not, I don’t care. Im looking at one stat about NMSU and it’s NOT homers, RBI, on base %, fielding, stolen bases, walks issued, or errors. There is ONE stat I am interested in.

Kevin, ok, I will bite, what stat is that? By the way, were you able to watch the BYU-NMSU games, on BYUTV, before heading over to the RWSS, this past weekend? If so, what did you think of the NMSU or BYU pitchers?

aw’ryte good to hear wahines ranked 11. well done ladies

works for me

Past opponent Radford is also up there but I forget what number.

Downer, K State loses their coach, Frank Martin, to South Carolina for 2 million a year plus incentives. He made 1.55 million with the ‘Cats plus incentives, but the bottom line, he didn’t get along with the AD. He signed an extension last season which included a half million dollar signing bonus, but even the best laid contract can’t keep the man at K State. He has a million dollar buy out, it must be affordable for him or S.C. 🙂

Whitey,

The ranking of 11th best RPI in the nation honestly surprises me and it wasn’t just me. Coach Coolen publicly mention some apprehension about the potential of our RPI even with Florida State, CAL, Texas, and Texas A&M coming in plus pre season Big East favorites DePaul on the schedule.

Budgetary reasons being the culprit, we missed out on the Cathedral City Classic Tourney, usually following the Louisville Slugger Tourney, to boost our RPI early on due to the tremendous field of competition out there year in and year out.

So these factors were taken in consideration and now in retrospect, assumption, that our RPI wouldn’t be as high as it ended up being.

It’s a PLEASANT surprise, even though wins over Florida State, then #1/#2 CAL, and early on two solid convincing wins over DePaul (who eventually moved up into the Top 25), plus maybe factoring in a weird one when we defeated Winthrop 2-1 and they went on to beat Tennessee (who beat Alabama) would lead one to believe it would help our RPI, but again to this degree, I don’t think anyone anticipated it.

To win on the road the wahine are going to need to put more runs on the board before the bottom of the seventh inning comes up. If they score more runs when the game is over, then they can have a chance of winning.

steve, aka coach coolen, you posted that on this blog,

whitey,

Please do not intertwine the name of a real person with said individuals.

Its confusing and can lead to more confusion for the casual reader.

IGNORE THE TROLL

I truly appreciate this article post.Thanks Again. Great.

It is not worth getting a BMW if it just has the 2.8L engine. In this comparison, the Audi A6 is better with its power, looks, luxury.

From Bryant Moniz:

Back when I was in high school I attended a combine at St. Louis high school and a few on the mainland. I remember having no clue and no training on how to properly execute the events at a combine. Which could have very well meant why I did not catch the attention of any colleges. For this reason I have created and will be running ACT (Animo Combine Training.)

Let me help you get ready for your upcoming combines this summer.
