Mr. Amazin’
Outside linebacker R.J. Kiesel-Kauhane is officially amazing.
Two weeks ago, he bench pressed 450 pounds.
Today, he had a team-high vertical jump of 38 inches.
SAfety Jordan Gomes was second with a vertical jump of 36.5 inches, followed by slotback Kealoha Pilares (36 inches).
* * *
Wideout Rodney Bradley, who is challenging for a starting job in spring ball, had the most impressive broad jump — 10 feet, 2.5 inches.
He also had the highest vertical touch, hitting a nearly 11-foot-high marker. Among the Warriors, Bradley has the longest reach (8 feet, 1 inch). Here’s Bradley’s broad jump:

Here’s slotback Dustin Blount;

And running back Leon Wright-Jackson:

Antwan “Tua” Mahaley, who has played defensive end the past two seasons, is embracing his new role as a tight end.
The Warriors have not used a tight end as part of the basic offensive scheme since 1998, the year preceding June Jones’ arrival. During Jones’ tenure, some running backs were aligned to the side of the offensive tackle as an extra blocker. Also, offensive lineman Laupepa Letuli practiced as a tight end in the two weeks leading to the 2008 Sugar Bowl, but did not play that position during the game.
“Right now, I’ve got to learn the system and see how it works out in the spring,” said Mahaley, who has not played tight end since his junior year of high school. “If it works out well, it’ll mostly likely be put in for fall camp.”
Mahaley said he weighs about 225 pounds. He said he would like gain another 10 pounds .
Meanwhile, he is running routes during unsupervised workouts.

Anybody looking for a quarterback? Robert Marve, a one-time UH recruit, is still a free agent after leaving the University of Miami.

Busy day at work. bbl. esme and out. whoooosh.
Top 5?
Top Ten! 😉
450 pounds in the bench and 38 inch vertical??!! Dayum!!! That IS pretty freakin’ amazing! Way to go Hawaiian! His initials could be MARJK-K…
Congrats to the others!
Aloha kakahiaka!
Been out & about mingling with the touristas in town.
Saw Mike interviewing staffers at the Honolulu Festival on Saturday.
Esme & out… Have a good day everyone.
FloridaTed, hope you are doing ok. Praying for you.
Hey gang…shortbreak before I have to leave again….
Good job by the warriors…sounds/looks like they are getting healthier and stronger…keep it up.
Had to say that I had to attend an alumni dinner/senior dinner at Damien on Saturday and Kealoha’s name came up several times…..
Eh, KK, where were you??? LOL I think your name came up as well….
Okay…esme and out….whooooossssshhhh
Top Ten! Yay!
top 10?
Didn’t someone mention something about the broad jump being a key indicator of football related athleticism?
Is there a scale of some sort that relates broad jump ability to overall size/weight? Kind of like a “power index”?
Okay, I promised an NCAA men’s basketball tournament pick’em league, and here it is!

I was excited about Tua when we recruited him as a WR because of his 6’4″-6″5″ size.
I was also excited when they decided to move him to Defensive End, especially after seeing what happened to Ikaika Alama-Francis.
I guess now that he’s gonna be a Senior, the coaches are trying to help him find his niche and get more playing time other than special teams for a NFL push?
so why don’t they run 40’s?
so doesn’t rj run a rather fast forty? didn’t he clock 4.6+ in hs?
i could see him destroying wr’s coming across the middle ala troy polamalu.
I hope LWJ has one good healthy breakout season left in him.
would you audition rodney bradley as the designated kick blocker?
is that other bradley brother coming to hawaii?
yuh, jdog….i hear you man.
seems like we have all been waiting. i would design a few toss sweeps just for him and just let him run around the edge or a reverse play like that.
Top twenty!
Estes got hurt running the 40 last year, and missed most of spring practice.
They’ll run the 40s after spring ball.
Good luck to the Baseball Bows!
d1 – broad jump doesn’t apply to Tsaikos.
I can bench 450. Just not all at once.
Rob25 – Did you hands grow any hair yet?
Good luck to all the Bows!
Blackie – I can bench press 450 one time! 450 ounces!
that Aiea defense was pretty good with Rocky on the line, RJ in the middle anf CJ Tausaga in the back..
Good morning all
On short break…tried to post but got sent to cyber oblivion…wat’s wid dat?
I kinda recall that “broad jump” was changed a long time ago to “long jump” to not offend gender activists. So, what the players were doing was the “standing long jump”. No???
wow, i thought Stephen was writing a post about me.
so homey,
you been keeping things lame here while i’ve been gone?
homey – I once drank 450 ounces. At least I think I did. I really don’t remember too much from that day…
I hope that R.J. has an awesome season–his strength and vertical jump stats are amazing and I thought he did well when he had a chance to play last season. With his experience from last season and his work ethic, he should be a major force for the Warriors D.
ST, thank you for the testing results for the other Warriors also. Rodney Bradley already seemed like he had a good shot at playing time this season, so it is good to know he has such great e
kokane:
yes, she is doing a terrific job keeping us posted.
still early, but we are confirmed with Seattle and LV trips.
looking forward to your being our “travel host” in Seattle.
for the Seattle tailgate, we will be staying directly across Quest Field – maybe the hotel has some Saturday brunch available.
would be interesting to visit an Indian casino to add to my coin/chip collections.
homey:
from the last post – realize what Wade K did, but Lui Funga actually went to UNLV and after 3 weeks decided to come home – believe he sat out the first year to meet transfer requirements.
Regarding Marve, he’s narrowed his list of teams down to 6 and says he’ll announce his choice soon.
ST:
Wonder how “hard” RJKK can hit a volleyball? Would he be an athletic outside hitter candidate?
Good morning everyone!
…my lunch time at work now…
C_C….. You typed me so homey…. Wasn’t there a song with a similar title?
Robert Marve????, did someone lose their marbles??
Antuan Mahaley,225 lbs. as a tight end???, that will never happen…just wishful thinking.
is wade keliikipi having second thoughts? or are all the comments regarding him speculation? just checking, cause if he does come back home and decides to play for the home team that would be great…..
C_C:
If it were you, I’d spell it out as: Mr. Amazing.
I kind of like Dustin Blount’s form.
Actually, the guy with second thoughts is a lineman with a Biblical name who attends a school that begins and ends with a vowel.
He inquired about transferring to a school in the middle of the Pacific, but was told that he needs to receive a release first before they can talk, and that he should wait until after the spring semester.
Or so goes the word on the street.
I just develped a hernia reading bout Kauhane’s 450 lb. lift…..arrrrghhhh!!
i left the “o” out of developed, see what happens wen you get a hernia??? bwaaaahahaha!!
ST was this guy named after the wisest, richest man in the Bible who also had the most wives?
Also in.Bible terms was my son?
ST,
is that Samson Satele????…bwaaaahahaha!!!
“M” isn’t a vowel.
o.k. den….bah bye!!
We’re giving away baseball tickets. See above post.
Bigwave:
…whose last name is a kitchen faucet?
Delta?! Whose last name is Delta? Or is it Moen? Price-Pfister??!!
I don’t recall any players with those names…
Doesy “Y” count as vowel if it’s used in “Navy” or “Kentucky”?!
A-House – Yep, you just mentioned the penalty.
Blackie – 450 ounces of beer is plenty to drink! Yeowzah!
cc – You are truly amazing. Yessiree!
Moen from Army?!
I thought Jordan Gomes was a safety? I don’t think he’s big enough to play LB.
Stephen, can UHFan808, Homey, or youself sing “Open Arms” to welcome him back home to the zipcode in my name?
Justin:
I think you’re right, Justin. I’ll correct it.
Now is “Open Arms” Journey or Foreigner?
I always get them confused.
Which one has the Filipino lead singer?
My faucet says “Pat Pending” 😐
Lunch & Lurk hour is over for me…bbl.
SteveM:
That’s a good thing. You can steal the faucet idea and make tons of moolah.
Hey Stephen, I’m a new member of the Tsaiko family. I’m just wondering where can I get a Tsaiko t-shirt?
Hey Stephen, I’m a new member of the Tsaiko family from CA. I’m just wondering where can I get a Tsaiko t-shirt?
I believe (Jesse)James and/or A-Joe handle the shirts.
Ask them and they can set you up.
stephen,
aww thanks,
i’m honored.
bigwave,
i’m not ‘oh me so homey’, that wouldn’t be appropriate for the readership of the blog.
Thanks, are the Tsaikos going to the UNLV game in September?
ST, good neighbor and BIGWAVE:
lots of laughter on your descriptions of the individual with a “biblical” name attending a school beginning and ending with a vowel – is it in the PAC 10?
yep, 96744 was my zip code while living in Haiku Village many, many years ago!!!
that would be darn right exciting if Wade K and ???? decided that “home” is the best palce to be – now getting really hyped about 2 solid DTs!!!!!!!!!
mauiwarrior:
just my wishful thinking since the “head coach” now the AD and OC became the HC.
BTW, are you attending the scrimmage tailgate at Tasty Crust on 4/11/09? Hoping all the Valley Isle warriors/tsaikos attend – great fuud, fun, friends, football, and…………………….( no can add fishing cause not enough time to go fishing ).
TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME
Funny thing I have a Kohler kitchen faucet. I wonder if it’s made in Arizona?
Howzit Everybody,
What this about Wade K and some bradda with one bible name. Ho sound like some craziness is going on in the lower campus.Look like the trade winds are blowing and it looks like they blowing our way. Going be one fun ride coming and we just gotta hold on tight.
the filipino lead singer is with Journey

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME
kama….no stir up trouble. its not wade.
Mrs. D1Shima –
Belated Happy Birthday wishes to you!
D1 – Your beautiful rendition of Sukiyaki brought tears to my eyes…the love you expressed to your lovely wife through this song was evident and I’m sure very much appreciated.
homes
you should have said azusa.
whooosshhhh!
whaaaappaaaah!
ahouse and kama just now join the club with original members; dpk and gigi.
TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME
but i’ll go to game anyways if i don’t win.
of course i expected homey to also get it right away,
al – battery check? Sucks if it is the alternator or starter. But no worry, me and James can do alternator or starter work for food and beer.

but i’ll go to game anyways if i don’t win.
chawan

Ummm, Mrs. A-House, he was singing to me that night…

beck’s or steiny pure?
TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME!
al,
i’m not easy. i’m a fan.
thats what fans do.
go to games.
plus the games are cheap and they’re all good seats.
if you win, who you giving it to?? I seen your No2 at the game on Friday
ahouse….actually you don’t join this club. its more like you are nominated and then inducted. kind of like the hall of fame. yah, that’s it the whoooshh hall of fame.
but, you can be expelled if you can shout out the name of this person before dpk.
al – Kohler faucets are good but the one I had leaked when you would swivel the faucet to the left or right basins. Gave them a call since I figured they would send me a replacement faucet but instead they sent an o-ring replacement kit…oh well, it was fun taking that thing apart! Now my wife can only wash and rinse the dishes in the left basin…
Kolten Wong –
CONGRATULATIONS! to Coach Trap and the entire UH baseball team!! Not only was it a pleasure to watch the Rainbows sweep LM this past weekend, but to cap it all off with your (Kolten’s) consecutive three homerun-5-rbi performance was outstanding! Our first “Colt-y” off and running, doing well with the Redskins…now we can cheer again for “Kolt-y” who will be a sheer joy to watch for the rest of the season.
Take me out to the ball game ST
Al,
Sorry I neva mean for get you mad, just trying to make any kine. I just getting little bit crazy with all the info flying around. Hope some of it come true cuz if it does ho brah we going have one mean team.
c_c
i know you are a fan. one of the biggest and best on these islands.
we also are aware that you go to scope out the rainbow dancers and cheer squad. one day, just chance em and ask her out. that one yes may be worth the 100 slaps, oops, i meant no’s you may get.
if you appreciate the math, the probability, the risk and rewards factor is pretty good i’d say.
did you ever notice the left side of homey’s face, a bit bruised? he keeps asking the right handed girls thats why.
homey,
No ack! The proof is in the video. Kekoa was the geisha in question!
Howzit Mrs. A-house! 🙂
Good afternoon to all the Tsaikos.
TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME.
TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME
kama….i never get mad. only dogs get mad.
btw, tell your brother wreck no shame show face.
Homey-san –
Don’t want to hurt your feelings, my buddy, but during the song, D1 kept gazing at his lovely wife when he wasn’t looking at the screen. ST implied that the song was dedicated to D1’s beloved, especially not to another macho guy like you (I think).
yah, #2 mentioned that you were there.
he asked if you attended baseball games.
i told him you are an ex-first bagger, hence, the nickname.
Take me out to the ball game…
Sweety’s supervisor has a nephew who plays and his name has nothing to do with plumbing…
al – pure is fine, becks is fine, what about the food?
homey
do you think that his parent’s were thinking about naming him king instead?
D1 –
Howzit right back at you!
Florida Ted –
Praying for you that every day brings a little bit of improvement to your memory until it is restored fully. Please don’t forget me, the A-House ohana, and the good times we had at the Golden Corral in Orlando. Fond memories of friends strengthening bonds of friendship.
any minute now i’ll be getting that phone call.
d1 – Kekoa was just jealous of me. Almost had cat fight.
mrs. ahouse
you ate at the golden corral?
wow.
i am jealous.
al – don’t answer the phone!
ahouse
please check your ahousefamily email account. i heard that a little birdie is trying to get in touch with you.
al – Didn’t that King say, “Cut the parents in half”.
hmmmm. that’s a possibility. i think my battery is dead.
I think if Mrs. A-House wrote a book, memoirs, or inspirational quotes it would outsell the other blog book writer.
al – We change batteries too! You buy the battery though.
my book says cut the baby in half and give one half to each woman who claimed to be its mother.
homey
i think mrs. ahouse is a better cook as well.
The series with Coastal Carolina is not exactly a rip off for Hawaii fans, but kinda messed up.
Thursday night, 6:35pm is business as usual, but to have a double header on Friday starting at 3:05?!?!? C’MON!
I know it probably has to do with Carolina’s travel arrangements, but how accommodating are mainland teams or the NCAA in general when WE have to travel long distances?!?!?!!
Just for that I hope the hitting continues and we stomp the hell out of them! 😈
YES!…Scroll thru the archives of the WB. You’ll find lots of advice, and links to even more important info about both away games in Sep.
Kazz – #116 – you are apparently not a state worker. Next Friday is Kuhio Day, therefore, all State and City employees have the day off, as well as the bankers and a select number of other private sector employees. Besides, next week is Spring Break for UH!! 🙂 Jason and Kelli must be happy.
I will be on the Big Island next weekend attending my sister’s wedding.
al – No need think who is the better cook. Anyone can heat up packaged food. I take that back, not everyone can heat up packaged food.
😳 Oops, my bad. Kuhio Day is Thursday the 26th. Sari sari. But it’s still Spring Break for UH and the schoolkids!! So plenny people on vacation.
homey – I think jm has been hanging with Coloma.
jm – what did you do this past weekend when it was freezing??
I still can’t believe dat 3 Wong WAC’s Wit da bat, Wen Win da Warrior’s Wun nodda game!…Weally!
Stretch – jm#### is on another basement level.
When did Kekoa turn into Elmer Fudd?
A-house,
I wish i could attend the scrimmage on maui but i’m actually going to be in vegas that weekend………..hopefully i’ll have better timing next year if it happens
Best wishes to Mahaley and his audition at TE.
It is senior time and perhaps this ‘twener will be able to contribute to his team given his athletic assests.
Gordie Shaw should be helpful to Ron Lee in implementing a TE package with a revision of blocking schemes that will lend credibility if indeed this scheme is utilized.
As far as Robert Marve is concerned–we can do without this troubled and controversal ex-Hurricane….he should have followed his mother’s advice.
QB is a position where personality disorders can infect a team–can u say–Tyler Graunke.
Not sure why the rumors about the Arizona DT is still circulating. I believe someone in the know shot down those rumors on one of the local bulletin boards.
I hope they utilize the TE package in at least 33% of the plays, since it gives them more options. Was it Oregon ST that put a bigger receiver in the slot or TE position and gave them fits?
Just Saying – At least we got to find out about DPK’s knowledge of faucet brands and biblical names. 😆
Where’s Colomaohana anyway? Must be busy babysitting.
al:
did we miss not telling you abour our wonderful dinner at Golden Coral in Orlando? oh my, the food is really tasty, home cooking style!!!
our first meeting with Florida Ted and Alnbana and with BHF2 ohana and Chawan and Rep Takai who, by the way, drove up from Tampa Bay after flying in from Denver from the Democratic National Convention.
Homey ~ Watchit you Wascal!
Kekoa – Iw’ll bwe wery wery qwuiet.
al and homey-
I knew who they were talking about right away…
I googled “faucets” to come up with the other names. IIRC, didn’t the same rumor come up just recently? And if the rumor is true, how many years would King Faucet have left to play? If the other DT isn’t Keliikipi, I have no idea who it is…
Hi Tsiko’s
TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME
And if King Faucet came here, then we’d have a better shot at his lil brother, Faucet 2.0. I met their mom once at one of the Murphy CCs. Sweet lady, and a KS grad as well.
Howzit curveball!
Tsikos… Yah, you could say that. 😆
jm2375: Yes, spring break! I wish it were two weeks instead of one, though.
Homes ~ Here’s a head’s up for later this Spring. Another CC/KK/Golf outing is being planned for Bay View for when Ronnie comes home.
I’ve already warned the neighbors who live beyond the driving range to familiarize themselves with the closest local emergency shelter.
Most banks operate on federal holidays so my office will still be open that day.
I work in a bank, but I am not a banking officer so I don’t know what “schedule” they have but I am in here during regular hours that day and since I am not at the “officer” level I am actually in the office during business hours.. 😆
Spring Break? I still have three weeks to get through before we even begin to smell Spring Break around here!
I wish Spring Break was ten years long.
ST,
TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME!!!
Now that my friend is heading back to the Land of the Oaks, I can go to BaseBow games, read through the blog, etc. Sorry I missed that 3-homer game.
take me out to the ball game….. Happy days to you all. Yes, I took in three games last week and enjoyed every one…Good to see the boys doing sooo good…..
kden take me out to the ball game.
haha! Be vewy vewy qwuiet….I’m hunting fo wabbits…..
I’m hea! Been busy trying to do some techie stuffs….
And, homey? Quiet?? Huh….And I’m infertile…..
take me out to the ball game! ^_-
How come some people insist on shouting about wanting to go to the ball game?!?!
…and one guy like go for blue balls 😯
didn’t Jocelyn Robins do a vertical jump of 38″ with the Na Wahine…Ching with the mvb did a 40+
Big C…infertile?? What??? Damn, the devil just called, there’s a blizzard in hell….LMAO….
Homey, so you’re gonna drink the beer and I’m fixing al’s car….why don’t we both drink the beer, then call hiflyer and let’s drop a new engine in that bad boy….LOL
d1 guess if dem black one’s no work be like christmas. colored balls might work bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
al,
thanks for the kind words but you all are the greatest hawaii fans there can be.
homey – Golden Corral is just the right place for Tsai-kos. Plenny fuuuud, good and cheap. Riley used to take da bball team there for pre-game meals. Wonder if Coach Nash is still doing that? It’s something like $10 for the buffet.
Stretch – as usual, I spent the weekend chaffeuring da keeed around. She’s now on Spring Break and slept till 2:30 today! What a life!
*~*~*~*~*~*BREAKING NEWS FROM FLORIDA PATTI*~*~*~*~*~*
tsai man to be on kkea later
Statistics are nice and everything, but it doesn’t automatically translate to the football field. So, I can’t be too impressed. The question is…..can they play football at a high level on the field. Take the case of Vernon Davis, TE of the 49ers. He did terrific at the combine and the Niners drafted in the first round. By all counts, so far Davis has been a bust so far. Let’s remember this Warrior football team last year was not good.
I hope this year will be better because as a retiree time is running out.
I want to be optimistic, but at the same time as they say in Missouri….show me! And as Bill Parcells says, let’s not do the annointing oil just yet. We’ve got a lot of work to do. That’s all.
kekoa…the link is not working….
~*~*~*BREAKING NEWS FROM FLORIDA PATTI*~*~*~
“Aloha Kekoa,
I have good news and good news…I brought my darling Ted home from the hospital late Sat. evening. He is walking, talking and doing sooooooo well. All he needs is some speech therapy. Anyone who knows Ted, knows how he loves to talk. He gets frustrated but all in all I think he is doing well. Waiting on word when the therapist will come.
He is very anxious to get on the blog, but he is not up for it yet. He has given up smoking (four packs a day), and coffee. It is taking its toll on him but I know he will defeat this also. He just doesn’t know what to do with himself, he use to enjoy a good T.V. program, but has difficulty sitting still long enough to watch a show. How I wish there was a Hawaii Warrior game on….I know he would sit still for that and enjoy himself.
He wanted me to extend his deepest Aloha to all of you and to let you know he will be back on the blog soon!! My love and thanks to all of you too!
Blessings and love,
Florida Patti (Praise the Lord and make each day count)”

Woo hoo! Great news about FloridaTed. Awesome!
Oh yah and: TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME.
450, better than Nash’s team
Whoa! Honolulu Advertiser finally let me in! Thank you. I thought they blocked me out for good!
Basketball ain’t football. Anyway, What do you think? 20 chinups and 6 reps of 225. The strongest UH basketball player ever did. Think about it! Off-season conditioning; play video games, spock chicks at the student center and Ala Moana shopping center? Even though this blog is for football; 20 max? How do you think the basketball team is heading for in ’09? Aloha Nash?
It has been brought up on Sports Hawaii and probably here before about several mainland high school teams using the UH “H” as their logo.
It has been around for the longest time, for as long as many can remember, and I am talking about the use of trademarked logos being used by high school sports teams. Locally we see the Farrington Govs using the University of Georgia and the Green Bay Packers’ oval “G” logo with a different color and Kahuku using the University of Utah’s logo with the Native American feather.
While it’s not so much of the threat of a high school using a trademarked logo for monetary profit, is the issue of what a logo means to that original team/university be taken into consideration should that entity seek legal recourse to cease unauthorized use of their logo?
The NFL doesn’t bother with it, should colleges even care as well?
The UH “H” carries more meaning behind it in a cultural sense that the USC logo or the UCLA logo so this is something that hits closer to home for us.
Personally, BECAUSE of the extra meaning the UH “H” has for us, I think these high school teams that use our “H” should find something else ASAP or face legal consequences.
Changing a high school team’s logo is not depriving those student athletes of anything so I think the case of a university “bullying” a high school is not even a defense in this case. It is ours and we have a right to protect what is legally ours. The question of what we are protecting ourselves from is simply our identity as a university for all the alumni and our identity as a people regardless of ethnicity.
A school in Arkansas or Houston has NO connection at all with the tapa H no matter how they want to spin it.
Whoo-hoo!!!
Go F-Ted! Big score!!! Go for the 2-points!!!
If the airlines get what they want — they shut the SF down — how high will airfare go? What excuse will the airlines use to raise their prices now? Oil is expensive? Expensive contracts? New planes? High maintenance? Greed? Bad decisions? High wages to executives? Crazy bonuses for executives?
Hmmmmmm. The state got caught on this one!
chawan_cut: Please check your e-mail, mahalo.
People will start feeling the effects on the recession in the next 11 months.
Bob dude, you made your money; but, if you and your team don’t produce. Honestly to you! If Nash cannot bring across, and pass on the experience, expertise, coaching knowledge to your players. Coach guards. If there aren’t more W’s. Maybe, one more year for you to coach and aloha Nash.
Great news about FlaTed! Keep up the good work Ted and Patti!!
Rats about the SF. I liked it better than having to get on a sardine-like airplane and going through the TSA rigamarole(?). I was wishing they would finally go to the Big Island.
anodda slow blog day?
if no one’s around, I’m gonna do some redecorating of da clubhouse.

Are you catching a cold Jason? 😀
Getting over one. 😀
jason,

good idea.
Good to hear about Florida Ted.
KEKOA: Would sending DVDs of the games to Ted help in his recovery?
Ask Patti for us.
KAZZ: Maybe we should get pictures of the helmets in question. However in looking at one high school game, the helmet in question is a bit different from ours (at least I think so – the white tapa marks were either missing or outward).
It’s like those modified “H” on the UnderArmour logo which might pass muster on copyrights (and again, maybe not!)
Florida Ted:
welcome Home!
Steven Tsai…I know two D1AA’s looking for a QB…not sure if Marve would go for that. both are east coast schools. tell him to email me if hes interested. They might still be available.
oopsy…I meant Stephen…my bad.
Tom: That’s what I e-mailed chawan_cut about. Things are already in the works. 🙂
please take a moment…………..
and say a little prayer for longtime uhfan. uncle has not been feeling well in his daily battle with COPD. although he is in great spirits as usual, physically he could use some mending.
mahalo!
Not only is Long Time UH Fan a good man with a good heart, but he’s also a math guy too, which makes him super awesome. 🙂
The last time we talked via e-mail, he told me how things were going. Sad to hear he’s still ailing — I’ll continue praying for you, my friend!
For those taking the super ferry to maui for the football scrimmage enjoy the ride as it may be one of the last voyages to the neighbor isles until the EIS is complete…..
Tom ~ Great idea! I’m sure he would like that. I’ll ask Patti which ones he’d like to have.
Myki & sj were circulating a T-gate photo of the Tsaiko’s for signatures to send to him.
Jason
Could you please email me how your cancer walk went I would like to forward it to Kristins daughters..Thanks
Kekoa: As I said in #195, chawan_cut’s got the DVD thing handled. midori7 is also mailing in a card from Saturday’s dinner/bowling night.
curveball: Will do.
Kekoa:
Its time for some pancakes….
Ralph – article says they are shutting down after Thursday.
LTUHF – Get well soon. We are all pulling for you.
Ah, but it’s the way I said it is. He called UH, said he was homesick and inquired about coming home. UH said it couldn’t talk to him without a release, and told him to go back for the spring semester. We’ll see what happens this summer. Maybe he likes it there and he’ll stay. But he did call UH.
regarding the shutdown of the SF, I feel for the neighbor isle vendors who could ship their produce and products with the SF in these tough economic times and with the cost of fuel, air freight would really reduce their margin…
UH has to track such calls, just in case somebody protests or files tampering charges.
Since I read the blog from the bottom up, I thought SF stood for San Fran, and I’m thinking, that’s my United route.
Then i read the actual post …
Great news about FloridaTed! Thank you to Patti and Kekoa for sharing that. I’m sure that he’s glad to be home and hope that his recovery goes well.
Best wishes to Long Time UH Fan…I hope that we can have good news about his health soon.
Long Time: take care!!! Our prayers are with you.
Interesting that when Central Arkansas comes to Aloha Stadium to open their season, they will have new offensive and defensive coordinators, a completely shuffled coaching staff, and will be breaking in a new QB.
We don’t know what day UH will play at San Jose State, but kickoff will be at 5pm Pacific Time unless TV wants the time moved.
Here are some of the reasons why the WAC hasn’t been able to figure out the conference football schedule yet.
Unlike San Jose State, which has all its non-conference games at the beginning of the season, there is at least one WAC member with at least one non-conference game in the second half of the season. Scheduling games with the least number of variables is most desirable. Multiple non-conference games late in a season increase those variables for the schedule maker.
Re: C. Arkansas.
That’s like UH at Florida last year.
ST,
I think that is actually worse than UH at Florida last year. At least UH had a lot of seniors and the defensive coaches were still around.
I apologize for #216…I didn’t realize I had a typo on “blockquote”. That sure looks different than the normal blockquoted, bolded text.

DNA patch found to be able to cure muscular dystrophy in dogs…this same gene is affected by muscular dystrophy in humans, so this is an important step to hopefully funding a cure.
Team of scientists have been able to demonstrate that sodium becomes transparent when it is put under a certain amount of pressure, different from other materials that become metallic under pressure.
It is hard for me to believe that when this guy realized that some guy in his late 20s had broken into his house, he didn’t call the police…instead, he sent out Twitter messages about how his home was invaded! He then video blogged the situation! It is hard for me to believe that he video blogged his conversation with the home invader who happened to be on his bed with his pants off!
Global warming is resulting in a rise in the sea level, which had been thought to be a big threat to Florida and Western Europe, but actually most threatens the northeastern part of the US. For example, New York City will be at greater risk from damage from hurricanes and winter storm surges.
Study found that the way to cure peanut allergies is to take peanuts every day, gradually increasing the amount of peanuts.

jason, tom,
in progress as we speak.
Thanks again, chawan_cut. You’re awesome.
wait, jason,
are you ok? is that an imposter?
what’s going on here? am i in bizarro world?
nah, no worries, its nothing.
Get well LTUHF!
Fight the good fight, Ted! YOOOOOOCANDOOOOOITTTTTTTT!!!!
I am the real Jason. But it has been a weird day. I decided since I’m getting over a cold that I’d take one more sick day, sleep in and get some work done here at home. Felt great when I woke up this morning, like my cold is just about done. Continued to feel great as the day went along. Then about an hour ago, this huge headache hits. Started feeling better, but it’s crept back, so I took some acetaminophen. Maybe that’s causing the bizarre stuff. No, wait, I posted that before I took the pill. Hmm …
I guess I’ll go to bed soon.
Bizarro world here? Come to think of it…
Jason – you’re always bizarre. Bizarre is a synonym for math major. 😆 j/k
okay i guess i am not so weird afterall since i too read the blog from the bottom up. sometimes by the time i get to the last part that i read i fall asleep.
Hmmm…that explains some of the conversations at the TsaikoGates! 😯
zzzzzZZZZzzzzz…
Sending those positive vibes to FT and LTUH…
That also explains the different brain activity we have. I memorize the color of my last post so I know where to continue.
Oh look, DPK is practicing the last letter of the alphabet.
it does?
i thought it was the heinekens speaking vicariously through the human consumer.
speaking of tailgates….if we ever do a western bbq theme, did i tell you i make a mean batch of baked beans?
If we do a western BBQ theme, I know a certain pink side hostess that has the whole western outfit! But then again she doesn’t come to the t-gates.
I notice a candle glow emanating from the bathroom. Oh, yeah, it’s bubble bath night! BBL!!!
Wishes for great health for all the ailing Tsaikos!
Tomorrow will be a good day to get better…it’s St. Paddy’s Day!
…”word on the street” is that the pink side is also whooping it up for someone’s birthday tomorrow.
Oyasumina-tsai….
Holy cow! A bench of 450 AND a jump of 38 inches? Is it me, or is that unheard of?

I can get free tickets for you- just add a comment on my blog (click on my name) with the number of tickets you need and we can hook up on Saturday.
Mahalo Ke Akua for the rapid healing of our friends!!!

Happy/Cheerful/Merry/Glorious/Joyous Saint Patrick’s Day!
As wet as it is up here being green is not a problem.
Happy St. Patty’s Day Tsai-kos,
Prayers and all the best for those ill and recovering Tsai-kos out there,
No hi-ho today so our ‘ohana will be attending the WBC-US vs Puerto Rico game this evening after we get back into Miami.
Take us out to the ballgame!
And, good morning everyone!
Wishes for outstanding health improvements for F-Ted, LTUHF, the Queen, HBod, and anyone else who is ailing.
It is the off-season so take the time to heal and get ready. Make sure your training table is full of healthy foods, and your heart full of joy!!!

It is easy to wear green on St. Patrick’s Day when you are a Warrior fan! I’ll be proudly wearing my Warrior shirt on this busy day of work and family activities…
❗ HAUOLI LAHANAU, ESME ❗
HAPPY GREEN BEER DAY TO ALL…
I’m not wearing green today. I like getting pinched…
I heard back from the ticket director at UNLV. He left me a voice mail indicating single game tickets will go on sale June 15. Sideline tickets are $35 and endzone is $25. There will be NO GROUP DISCOUNT offered for this game. I’ll call him today and see what sections are available for around 200 (plus try and change his mind about the discount).
More later….and if you drink like an Irishman, please don’t drive…
Hiyha Tsaikos everywhere.
Esme,
happy birthday girlfriend. keep up da good work wit your crowd!
LizK,
good morning. tell #2 uncle says best wishes.
Kekoa
thanks for posting and keeping in contact with Fla Patti for
our friend Florida Ted.
Florida Ted,
Good morning. hope you’re smiling, knowing your pals wishing you a speedy recovery and all.
and the best part is, you’re off the cigz. good for you. went down from 3 packs a day myself 35 years ago.
Kolten Wong,
his baby sister played right field in the little league world series wit da bradda back in the day. she’s good. family genes. gotta hook her up with da ladies on lower campus. sumtin about da best ah da best.
Eddie would be smiling if he wuz hea. maybe he is….
Rich,
so where are we sitting? can I send you $$ now? will that help. I’ll sit anywhere, just so I sit wit da Tsaikos. I’m down for 8. 808-937-8546. Peace. I wanna sit by Kazz. I know dat bugga can yell. alot 😀
BHF2 – I don’t know the sections yet, and probably won’t until June. I guess the bottom line is that are most of the Tsaikos willing to spend the extra $10 per ticket for sideline seats? I would think so…
Rich
Count me in, pretty please. 😀
I wanna sit where we can yell at da odda team, and where we can buy da bevrage. 😀
Welcome home FT- great that you are with your loved one to help with your speedy recovery.
LTUHF – get well!
Jason, hope you feeling better today too.

The deed is done. I have Cabana ‘A’ reserved for Friday, 09/04/09.
Test
6 reps of 225, and 20 chinups doesn’t amaze anyone, philoscophically.
Nash should consider revoking all scholorships for everybody except for Flemings, Arnis, Thompson and Nitoto.
Nash should consider revoking his own ‘scholarship”.
Watched BYUH againsta a zone team last night. They have so many more ways of attacking the zone!! Maybe Nash should watch tape of them and figure it out.
Really American peoples are very nice and creative in the every sphere of life whether science, game of any types or politics.

Recently, the air ride suspension system in my 1990 Lincoln Town Car went out at the same time there… Oh, the wonderful air bag idea. These were a Major problem! There should be no link to your two……
