Pardon the interruption
Gov. Abercrombie made an unexpected appearance at today’s Pro Bow news conference, essentially issuing an apology for comments he made about the NFL all-star game several months ago.
Ferd Lewis will have a full report.

The Warriors yesterday began the offseason conditioning program with sessions focusing on weight-training and cardio activities.
The program will run through the March 17 start of spring practice.
Most of the Warriors had been training on their own for a while. For instance, offensive lineman Chauncy Winchester-Makainai, who was riding a bicycle, has trimmed down considerably. And it appears receiver Corey Paclebar has gained much-needed weight.

Whoops.
Belated birthday wishes to Jeannie Lee.

Way to go guys! ” offensive lineman Chauncy Winchester-Makainai, who was riding a bicycle, has trimmed down considerably. And it appears receiver Corey Paclebar has gained much-needed weight.”
Work um, Coach Heffernan!
Aloha Tsaikos! Just wanted to share that Pono committed this weekend to play football for Eastern Illinois. They are a FCS school in the Ohio Valley Conference. New HC Dino Babers, Hawaii Born, former UH player, former UCLA/Baylor Coach, most recently coached Baylors WRs in the bowl game w Heisman winner RGIII.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOg0fszwZQA
Pono is very excited! He says the school was super nice, the coaches are going to be fun to play for and are really ‘into it’, and the team is very tight which he liked A LOT! Already getting congrats from some of you on FB! Mahalo!!! Thx to Doris @ PIAA, Al, Pride, PBK, Liz, D1, Ron Mizutani, James Millwood, Joe Onosai, Destiny Church Ohana, et al (don’t want to forget anyone) who have been so supportive!
More Hawaii connections – EIU new DC is Kim McCloud. I’ll let one of you guys write in and say who he is. Sorta make this like a little trivia game.
More trivia – UH played EIU twice in recent memory. What years?
ST & Tsaiko Blog Dogs:
One of my many resolutions for this year is to lose weight and be in better condition. Unfortunately, I don’t have the body or age of a twenty year old…it is a long term project.
Go Warriors!
right on pono!
the right choice is the one you make with heart and conviction.
congratulations!
keep working hard, WARRIORS !!!
Annoddah Dave, I lost ten pounds and kept it off just by
not drinking coca-cola, etc, even diet ones, except once
a week with my whopper and french fries. Also, it helps
if you eat oatmeal and brown rice and make your lunch
your main meal, and just snack at dinner, like a sardine/
ginger/seaweed salad or just an apple. But snack away
on cashews or sumptin…:)
GOOD MORNING HAWAI!
Happy for PONO – though I hate the thought of Mid-West winters!
Sardine/ginger/seaweed salad? What’s the recipe?
Midwest winters ugh nasty and cold
Hi, all. Been off the blog recently as my dad unexpectedly passed away just before Christmas. Things are starting to get better although my mom is still adjusting to things. Understandable, I guess, since they were married 62 years.
Exciting LOI day coming up. Dad would have loved it. I think he would have been very excited about the direction Coach Chow is taking the program. Anyway, just stopping by to say “hi”.
Good morning Tsaikos!
Go Warriors! Work hard in the weight room and in the classroom!
Congrats to Pono Choy.
Morning everyone. With the new offense comes 2 new positions. One has been recruited heavily in the te position. Don’t hear any fb recruits. I know hawaii has big boys that can play fb but I figure that nc would bring in atleast 1 fb. Any news on fb recruits?
My condolences to you and your family warriormojo

WARRIORMOJO – sorry to hear about your loss. My condolences to you and your family. Take care of Mom.
warriormojo…my heartfelt and sincere condolences to you, your mom, and family.
let me know if i can help.
Annoddah Dave:
Got it backwards… first you gotta get in better shape to lose some weight.
Like IPU man says… just cut out all the canned and instant drinks. If it says “corn syrup” somewhere on the label… don’t partake. That alone made me lose three inches off my weight in less than 4 months. After that, puff puff.. it takes exercise… puff puff… and quit smoking if you do smoke.
Oh yeah.. for snacks, I eat a couple handfuls of unsalted mixed nuts each day that I buy at longs or ebay (5lbs at a time). A good snack that helps keep the hunger pangs away. Haven’t gained an ounce doing that. Don’t let the calories on the label fool you.. unless you turn them into a paste, your body won’t absorb more than half the calories in mixed nuts. Another good snack is that kettle popcorn in the white bag that they sell in Longs. Very lightly sugared… low cal 170 cal for 1/4 bag… surprisingly tasty…
Good morning world! Whoo hoo.. nice and sunny!… good day for recruiting! Go WARRIORS!
warriormojo – sorry to hear about your Dad. Lost my Dad last July. My aloha to the family.
Great Morn’g gang
Want healthy and great tasting recipies?
Found them yesterday Thanks to OSD at ‘Uwajimaya.com’
All oriental dishes we locals like.

Tried some out last night and it was great! don’t need to go all the way to Seattle now.
My sincerest condolences to you and your family Warrior Mojo.
#24 – Nalani, I didn’t know that. I knew your dad. My sincerest sympathy to you and your family. Hope that your mom is doing well.
warriormojo…GBU and your Mom…
Tom Mui, get Ginger in a little plastic jar at Walmarts or
Don Quijote, red or pink, both are oishii. They pop a salad.
As for sea weed, I use the dry wakame, which you soak first
to make it soft. And just cut your lettuce, cucumber and
whatevah and mix all together and top with your favorite
dressing (oil and vinegar works great).
Nalani and all Tsaikos with same loss, GBU…
Soon we all gonna see them again.
I believe Coach Chow employs the “H back” – a cross between FB & TE. He’ll line up on the line, off the line, in the backfield or go in motion. Personnel who played either the traditional FB or TE position can suit this role. Recruiting TEs (vice typical FB) for this position may be preferable due to the size (height/weight) factor.
WarriorMojo, I too would like to express my sincerest condolences to you and your ohana. May God bless you and your ohana.
Chauncy had been trimming down and getting in better and better shape as the years have progressed since high school. Just how much has he trimmed down this time? It seems more and more like Chow wants them big boys….big. Not sloppy big….but BCS-kine big.
BIK
hey ST, is the recruit Anthony Pierce related to former NY Giant Antonio Pierce? He had pictures of NC and the UH facilities on his twitter the other day?
Deepest Condolences to WarriorMojo and Nalani and their respective Ohana.
As a famous Tsaiko says, Make memories, make memories, make memories.
Congratulations to Pono Choi and his very supportive parents!
Start saving up those frequent flier miles! 😉
Belated Happy Birthday wishes to Jeannie Lee!

good to see you, although it’s on the blog, you still look good brother.
you are right, make memories, make memories, make memories, because no one, and i mean no one, is guaranteed tomorrow…….
Awesome, I’m happy for them.
Will meet the other Mike today to review last Friday’s luncheon meeting. He’s very excited about it. Told him we’ll see where we can fit in.
Look forward to sitting with you and breaking bread.
WarriorMojo & Nalani ~ I want to add my sincere condolences to you and your respective ohana for the passing of your loved ones. As you know, it is still a day-to-day health care issue with me and my Pops. He remains physically strong but mentally challenged.
We can all cherish those memories of participating in and watching sports with our Dad’s. May they rest in eternal peace.
Mai poina.
I have been as culpable as anyone in the past on this one and this will be the only comment I will make on this subject.
Hawaii adopted “Warriors” as its team nickname or part of its nickname for various teams awhile ago. At that time, late 90’s, it seemed pretty cool and a good way to rally support by building excitement through varied imagery.
In the years since 2001 I think my feelings about “calls to battle”; “preparing for war”; “get a warrior mentality” and the like have led me to do more and more cringing as they years have gone by.
There are many Tsaikos who have been in the position of serving our country and have faced such circumstances in a real way and not having been one of them I do not know exactly what the experience is like nor do I wish ever wish to.
But with the changing way that wars are now being reported and brought into the living rooms and also the glimpses that are seen of those who have returned recently with horrific scars I think, for me, there’s a really large gap between reality and rhetoric.
morning
congrats to Pono and the Choy ohana
added condolences to wmojo and family prayer to them
enjoy the day all
Since nobody has posted yet, it looks like long snapper Grant Meersand will be a preferred walk on to UH this coming season. Since Luke Ingram will be a senior, gonna need a LS for the future
Agreed.
Off-season workouts: I wonder if the S & C staff will have those large trash cans strategically positioned at spots around where conditioning drills will take place? Seems to scare the players or at least get their attention.
d1 #39 wot about da ipu shape
pride #42 lmao
koakane,
If it fits, wear it! 😆
My deepest condolences to WarriorMojo and his family and Nalani and her family.
Best wishes to Pono as he embarks on his new challenge.
Howzit Bulla! Always good to “see” you here, too!
WarriorMojo:
My condolences for your loss. You, too, Nalani. I lost both of mine three years ago. While, the years have helped temper the loss, I’m glad, though, that the fondest of memories remain.
It is good that UH has the last recruiting visit for so many key recruits. Going first is nice if you can prevent the recruit from taking any other visits, but it has been increasingly evident that recruits are willing to flip from even supposedly strong commitments if you can get them to visit your school. The latest example is from a former Warrior recruit who was “99.9%” committed to Portland State but switched to Montana after visiting them.

I was wondering about the strategy choices regarding NFL playoffs OT rules that have gone into effect this season.
Convention in CFB has been to go second but was tryna think about the advantage of doing the same in the NFL.
Thoughts?
Good Morning again!
Braddah Mojo –
Heartfelt sympathy and prayers for you and your. Same to Nalani.
Good for Pono, Nalani. Maybe we’ll see him back here someday…
for comparison ….
Texas A&M: New defensive coordinator Mark Snyder’s salary will be $500,000.
Go Warriors! Do hard work!
My condolences to those who lost loved ones.
re:48. Jeezy33 –
Thanks for the info on the LS. We’ll definitely need a quality candidate to replace Ingram. Over the past few years with both brothers they have been very reliable I think sometimes fans take that for granted.
Good morning everyone!
WarriorMojo, my condolences to you and family.
Nalani — I am happy for Pono. Best wishes for him!
My condolences to you and ohana too.
51 d1shima,
If you elect to go on defense first in the NFL and the opposing team scores a touchdown, the game is over. In college you still have a turn to score a touchdown.
I may have misread your question.

nalani, great, super and best wishes for pono. it ain’t that bad during the winter in the midwest. a little cold. hahahahaaaa. went to school at isu which is not too cold either, but my japanese steps are excellent, so no do one balinton on the sidewalk.

re: NFL OT
if you win the coin toss, receive the kickoff.
6.0 on Rector scale is considered Strong – destructive for up to 100 miles across populated areas.

rector scale? something that measures the butt? 😆
College coaching salaries are awe inspiring. UW new DC to get $750,000 this year. OC will “only” get $375,000. Head recruiter/DL coach (the guy who jumped off Cal’s ship) to get $350,000. HC reportedly earns 2.4 mil. (I hope our poor ol team meets the Huskies sometime soon & beat em good.)
Couch Potato..
Yeah and with a 100 mile destructive range, too! .. Whoo boy! Weapon of mass destruction there.

CP…
I know.. sometimes you gotta surprise the foe by keeping it under cover (the blanket) till they get near… oddawise it loses it’s effect.
Okay.. back to football.. no recruits committed this past weekend, eh?
#75. Here is another one for you… Ohio State’s Mickey Marotti will make $380,000 this year. His job: Strength & Conditioning coach.
God Bless and belated Heavenly Condolences to Mojo and Nalani.
Good luck to Pono and all our football ohana!
Good to see Alex Green walking around again and supporting Zach in his all-star game!
Congrats to Rodney Bradley with the Ravens… and GO SENIOR BOWL GUYS!
Condolences to the families of Nalani and WarriorMojo.
Good luck to Pono, too!
Always remember where home is!!!
The rector scale would measure the impact of an academic administrator, most typically of the European persuasion. I don’t even want to think what 6.0 on a rectum scale would mean. 6.0 on the Richter scale is strong, but barely Tsaiko strong.
DPK #59, EIU played UH twice during the JJ era. I’m hoping they will schedule a game in the next few years. That would be awesome.
some more, for comparison …
Prince Fielder – nine-year, $$$ 214 million.
The Detroit Tigers stunned the baseball world Tuesday by reaching agreement with Prince Fielder on a nine-year, $214 million contract, the fourth-largest deal in baseball history.
The deal was first reported by Yahoo Sports.
‘Sports and I would like to extend our deepest condolences, blessings, love and aloha to WarriorMojo, Nalani and their ‘Ohana.

SF Giants *** to sign *** Tim Lincecum for two years, $40.5 million.
who committed to the Warriors after this past weekend visits?
cp…ethan watanabe
i was reading about his commitment last week thursday.
so that would be watanabe and moleni and the long snapper? that’s the 3?
Sincerest sympathy & aloha for those recently lost loved ones.
College football and basketball, has it reached critical mass? (BUBBLE) Money being flased by the networks will it stop and level off or will it continue to rise? Will people get tired of watching all those games on the tube and start losing interest? A connected question cause if prople get tired of watching than sponsership (money) will wane. Another thing that can happen is the sponsors not willing to dish out that type of money due to changing landscapes of where technology leads the human race. Somehow can UH ever get into the equation financially? Some say cannot some say can and if they could, winning and becoming a top 10 team yearly may get us there.
Please excuse – my fat fingers missed the “who” between “those” and “recently” in #94.
Where does this money come from to pay those outrageous baseball salaries? Nobody give a **** about baseball, it’s popularity is FAR behind the NFL and NBA. Even NASCAR is more popular that baseball in certain parts of the country.
happy birthday jeannie lee

thanks for the tips on losing weight…I did pick up weight because I tend to eat dinner late at night then so sleep. I know it is bad, will need to “exercise” more restraint!

major league baseball’s revenue is well over $7 billion. that’s where the money comes from.

Apparently there isn’t money to pay those salaries, at least in the case of the New York Mess.

Is it UH football related?
Watanabe is the only official commit from this past weekend.
There are details on others that will be resolved after this weekend.
what? gov wants to keep pro bowl in Hawaii?
WarriorFan808:
Guv-related. He apologized to the Pro Bowl folks. Sort of.
It was one of those things where a married man would consider it to be an apology but a married woman wouldn’t. Fellas, you know what I’m talking about.
#104
Oh ok…nevermind. Pro Bowl story.
You mean like…
Oh jeeze.. I didn’t think my elbow would be in your way. Jeeze, I’m so sorry, you had to walk into it, honey.
I give our high school & youth coaches so much credit & appreciation for all their work. They get peanuts compared to what the pro/college coaches get.
But they provide the foundation for those coaches & work unselfishly at the expense of their own families’ time to help our kids.
alrighty then mr. gov. so now you need the pro bowl since civil unions isn’t bringing in the big bucks like you said it would, remember? oh, and maybe one day with all the contacts you made during apec, we can see a huge growth in our business economy.
can’t wait to see the improved facilities, under your guidance, at lower campus.
much mahalo!
i approve this message.
LOL CP!
He’s gonna try and legalize weed before his time in office is up….just a prediction…lol…oh and….what ever UH wants, UH gets..right…right uncle Neil?
now if the gov can convince the legislature to legalize marijuana and some form of gambling, i’d be a happy camper. 😎
University of Hawai’i outside hitter Kanani Danielson was named to the 2011 Volleyball Magazine All-America First Team, with middle hitter Emily Hartong garnering third team honors. The announcement was made Tuesday by Volleyball Magazine
and while you’re at it, convince the new mayor to bring back other related fireworks. we’ve had more voggy days than one smokey fun night on new year’s eve.
ah, keep going gov, take out the ethanol in our gasoline.
here’s ferd’s blurb on gov’s remarks. … ST – delete if not supposed to cutnpaste …
” Gov. Neil Abercrombie made a surprise entrance during a Pro Bowl press conference today and declared, “we would like to continue to have (the Pro Bowl) and we’re going to do everything we can to make sure that that comes about in a fashion that will make everybody very, very happy.”
The comments were in contrast to statements last year in which he questioned the state paying $4 million per year to keep the game here.
The Governor’s comments today came shortly after an NFL official had told the gathering “we were aware of the comments of the governor recently.”
The Pro Bowl that will be played Sunday at Aloha Stadium is the 32nd and last one currently under contract to the state. Negotiations have been on-going for future games.
A Hawaii Tourism Authority spokesman said he did not expect an announcement this week.
Asked if the 2013 or ’14 game could be held here, Abercrombie said, “we’re gonna certainly do everything we can to make sure that happens. We’ be delighted if they did.”
Abercrombie termed the state’s relationship with the NFL “excellent.” … “
btw gov, what you have the lt. gov doing nowadays?
back to recruiting. one official commit is better than nothing.
Guv and his half-arse spin twisted apology. He’s a trip.
If Aiona was governor, this mess wouldn’t of happened.
hmmm details on recruits that will be resolved after this weekend? i take that to mean if some guys don’t commit this weekend, then the guys that visited last weekend are next in line.
At this time of the year, you kind of want one-a-day.
Eastern Illinois—-Charleston IL to be more exact….about 45 minutes south of University of Illinois…..Tony Romo….small nice school. My son played there and I was a trivia question when EIU played UH….I played at UH and he played there…..Warriors roughed up the panthers….his teamates told me “those guys did not look human” he was referring to there size and toughness….they were glad when the game ended. Of course I was proud—-GO WARRIORS
$214 Million for a baseball contract to a player who is at the end of his prime? What kind of message does that send to society in the economic state that we are in? Sometimes I am so puzzled by the way the world operates.
Wish I were a professional athlete I guess, because my four years of college education and OVER 40 hour work week gets me SHI_ in this world.
We have a Lt. Governor?
great column keep up the great work.
Yes, the Governor leans heavily Lt.
WarriorMojo, saddened to hear about your dad’s passing. Take care of Mom and your entire family is in our prayers.
I saw ST from the back of the room at the Pro Bowl presser; wish I could’ve stayed longer…but that was quite interesting today.
YES, we can hardly wait until National Letter of Intent Day next week. Did you hear Na Koa is putting on a dinner reception at Willows that evening with Coach Chow and his staff? In case anyone’s interested, here’s the link: http://nakoa.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/2012-LetterIntent_Reg_rr.pdf. Obviously, it’s not going to fit everyone’s budgets, BUT we all know that many, many Tsaikos do support the UH Warrior Football program through Na Koa, so thank you!!!
So what, you guys think we got a ONE and DONE Governor?
I wonder if the old man will ever learn how not to stuff his feet into his mouth? Isn’t this one of the major reasons why some of his younger staffers left? Because of a boss who talks way too fast and relies heavily on others to clean up his mess?
Duke Aiona? Nah. I no think so.
But one would think that he’ll probably run again.
The Hawaii political waters are stale and stagnant. Time to huli the water.
BIK
Makes me wonder what else is Neil going to apologize for saying or promising.
We better start looking for money to fly in our opponents Pronto! No depend on him.
122. That’s what I took from the statement.
Seriously hoping for the best out of this weekends visits. Then the others that really want to be Warriors and play for coach Chow can maybe sign greyshirt agreements. Best of luck coaches!!!
Tommy Lee was on the animals today. No Pam. He said that his area of recruiting is the local high schools. He hasn’t had much time to study the current players on film yet because of the focus on recruiting. They will try to install as much of the base stuff as they can in the spring.

Raider Nation : FOX Sports news gossip …
” Oakland Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie has found a new head coach, FOXSports.com has learned.
Former Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Dennis Allen has reached an agreement to lead the Silver and Black in the 2012 season, but contract details still must be hammered out.
Allen informed the Broncos on Tuesday he was taking the Raiders’ head-coaching position. The Broncos hired Allen as defensive coordinator exactly a year ago to the day. Allen had previous coaching experience with the New Orleans Saints’ secondary unit. “
Wat is the oddah “hapa”?
maybe on UH football?

and backing up Coach Chow!
and i’m tired of listening to da half wits
making excuses of why we not dis an not dat.
I was just looking for this info for a while. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your website. I wonder what is the Google’s issue that does not rank this type of informative web sites closer to the top. Generally the top sites are full of garbage.
What you see with Abercrombie is what you get when you take a career legislator/congressman and put him in an executive leadership position. The first job is poor preparation for the second, because in the first job you can do and say all kinds of irresponsible things without any serious consequences. Not so in the second job.
#75, Warriors scheduled to meet Huskies on Dec. 7, 2013 at Aloha Stadium. They’ll have a few players from Hawaii. Should be a good game. And the teams meet again on Sept. 19, 2015 in Seattle.

1st day back after a week of snow days. While it was tough for nearly everyone it was extra difficult for some of my kids. They are on free/reduced meals. For a week they were without power and food, and reliable transportation to get to a food bank (assuming they were open and had food available).
Some kids enjoyed the time off playing in the snow. Others were worried about keeping warm and constant hunger pains.
once upon a time, in the more “happy days are here again” times
and not in the now, the more austere times,
i would have cut hapa slack… and I woulda cut all the recruits slack.
now, in da austere times, when I’m trying to support a man who wanted to come home to Hawaii and help us in the here and now,
and knowing Coach is trying to encourage the players in the here and now,
there is no cutting slack for anybody. the current crop. the recruits. us. all of us. we’re all going to encourage Hawaii to do good.
Coach Chow is going full on. and i’m supporting Coach Chow in his effort to excel at the here and now.
Go Warriors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go Coach Chow!!!!!
Nice to see the Hawaiian Airlines logo and the Big West Conference logo on the same banner.
Can’t wait to get out of the WAC.
http://www.bigwest.org/info/shootout/
okay, da time is now to encourage the Warriors!
no scared. pull da trigga!
go Warriors!
the state’s relationship with the nfl is “excellent”. dang, almost puked on my computer.
bhf2, you having fun??? this year has da warriors have really upgraded their recruiting efforts and you right, they are doing good job.
i no i no. i’d like to take 1/8th credit. cuz I’m 1/8th pake. 😀 i’m getting extra credit cuz I went to church within da past 10 years. 😆
this is probably the largest group of recruits da warriors ever had on one weekend, so if we get 50%, cheer, cheer, cheer.
ok 1/8 pake, what’s for lunch??
steak!
😆
chirashi bowl!
come ova, i’m buyin. 😀
i wonda if the relationship between the guv and teachers is “excellent”????
#171 Whitey
If this was a country that had a Parlementary form of government and the leaders proposed a certain policy which gets overwhelming rejected, it would be a form of “no-confidence” in its leaders and there would be a call for a new government.
Maybe the question really should be if the relationship between the Union leadership and the teachers is excellent.
counselor, you get me there, but could be. the union leadership endorsed the guv for election because he one democrat. so the relationship between leadership and teachers is not necessarily “excellent”, but then again it could be “excellent”. so, leadership may be asked to step down because teachers did not listen to them and basically have “no confidence”. ok, ok, mind slowly absorbing legal talk.

counselor, but don’t we not have a parlimentary form of government where there are parlimentary rules of order???
mih, now that makes sense. yes the relationship between the guv and nfl is “excellent”. hahahahaaaa
should have gone to law school, so i can understand legal lingle from bhf2, counselor, and warriormojo.
whitey.
the rule of order is a Glock. the rujle of law is 2 Glolcks. 😀
and i didn’t learn da intricacies of Glock law in school. 😀
Hi whitey and Tom.
RE: Tom’s #172
From the rumblings I hear, Tom is asking the right question.
I’m not involved so I wasn’t listening closely though.
Is it against NCAA Rules to wait at the airport with a Sign that Says “Welcome Warrior Recruits”?
warriors will be working from a pro-set and the OL will have to pull out and run more to the perimeter as well as downfield. the run game will be vital in defining our offense. chow will need to remake our OL. they must be quicker and better conditioned. look at the recruits he is going after. they are big-sized athletic-types with balance-on-the-run.
stevem, s why we should have gone to law school. these legal guys get many answers and when you think you got it, they give you the slide and escape. the only way i going get one straight answer from the counselor is to buy sum “maui wowee” and bring it to hnl.
Hi Tsaiko Family – I just got word – Our First Call The Coach with Norm Chow at the Outrigger Reef by the Beach Hotel is February 7th at 6pm – Carter Chow confirmed with us today – Mark your calendars! We are trying to get a date with coach when Spring camp begins too… You heard it here first!
i goin try like counselor, the question of the o-linemen speed can be overrated becasue if the dline is pancaked, is speed needed?
chris, tanks.
#162 Kevin – Regarding Big West, Hawaiian Airlines flies to airports close to 6 of the 9 Big West schools. (45 minute drive or less from Sacramento and LAX airports) UCSB, and the two schools in Orange county might be longer drives – I fo’get which two)
“legal Lingle”… for some reason those two words don’t seem to go together.. much less in the same sentence.
While I am on a role… ALL UH Baseball road games will be on the radio this season!
Feb 7, eh? sounds like a good day to talk about the new recruits.
#176 Whitey:
No. Parliamentary government – there is clear cut separation of executive and legislative. In Great Britain, for example, the people elect their representatives (House of Commons) and the majority party elects their “Prime leader” – i.e. Prime Minister and so that party can propose and enact legislation. If the proposal gets rejected by the majority in Parliament, there is what is called a “loss of confidence” and usually new elections are called.
The US has a clear cut separation of the executive and legislative departments. The President, for example, can propose legislation and the legislative branch can reject it. The legislative branch can also enact laws, make their own proposals and enact them
mih, hahahahahaaaaa
see counselor, i should have gone to law school than i can be more akamai.

#191 madeinhawaii – Yes that is the objective, along with a preview to Spring Camp in March – want to do a Fall Camp preiview, but they are super busy at that time so that may be hard – looking at a show on 8/28
Regarding recruiting, Tommy Lee made it sound like thay have enough QBs right now and would not look for more. Regarding FB he said they have some guys already on team and some TE recruits may be able to switch to FB too.
#156: Thanks for the heads up! Looking forward to those games. Just hoping they don’t chicken out before then.
Ipu Man – The light rail in Portland is fairly quiet. As a matter of fact, you need to look both ways before you cross the street to make sure one is not coming. The regular train is very noisy, b ut not the light rail.
Both excellent questions … :-p
jason, long time no see.
Stu Padasso #97,
Where do you get your info from. You’ve obviously never been to the mainland. Baseball is the 2nd most popular sport in the country. The NBA is way behind.
manuel was explaining to his wife that when he dies, he wants her to go to the bank, get a half a million dollars in hundreds and twenties, and put them in a pillow. take the pillow with the money and tie it in the attic so when he passes to go up to heaven, he will pick it up. so upon manuel’s death, mary did exactly as instructed. mary checked every day to see if manuel picked up the bag. after 2 weeks, the bag was still there, so mary called out loud to manuel “I think I put the bag in wrong place, I should have put it in the basement”.
whitey – 😆
Thanks for the Las Vegas minute, whitey.
Night all!
I was cleaning out one of my mailboxes and found this Hawaiian “history” quiz. How many can you answer?
BTW, it was sent by Slugger…
Hey gang (including you Mr. Tsai),
Just my two cents!
I read his article on listened to Dave Reardon on the radio (w/ B. Curran), and his take on all the recruiting is excitement, to me anyway, is really back-handed compliments.
He keeps saying “well, remember Hawaii fans were all excited when McMackin took over too”……
Huh?
As if Mack, even June Jones for that matter, ever really made a solid effort to recruit Hawaii kids.
This, my friends, and correct me if I’m wrong, is the first all out effort by a U-H football coaching to staff to really get after local kids in the recruiting wars.
Rauscher and Powell (I believe that’s their names), the first two members of Norm Chow’s staff, hit Kahuku, Kamehameha and Punahou on their first full day. Followed that up with a visit to St. Louis.
Then they back-tracked to cover some of those schools a second time during their first week.
Gotta love that! That’s the first REAL effort in over 15 years by the UH coaching staff.
Not Mack, not Jones, not von Appen for that matter.
DAMN IT’S REFRESHING!
I get a funny feeling good things are coming!
Watched the Guv’s appearance at the Pro Bowl thingy today on the news. Awkward.
It’s a shame you don’t have a give money press button! I’d definitely give money for this outstanding website! I think for now i’ll acknowledge bookmarking and adding your Feed to my Google account. I look ahead to fresh messages and will promote this blog with my Facebook team:
Guys we can have the best recruiting class in the NCAA but that’s only 50% of what will make us successful. Executing the game plan near flawlessly, and playing discipline on all positions with ultimate determination will indeed get us the results we want. Come LOI day, the glass will be half full fellas, time to kick the tires and light the fires because it’s show time behbeh!
You know, I wish kkea can have streaming video of all things pertaining to UH football, whether it’s interviews, behind the scenes or call the coaches. Hell, why not have the Bobby Curran show and The Sports Animals have episodes or podcasts to download since we all can’t listen all the time (work). Even if it is not the whole week, 1 days worth of either shows on video would be nice to add on their kkea website. I would love to see the studio, or the bars they do their shows at and call the coaches :).
I wonder if it’s possible or worth taking serious consideration. I personally love our kkea team and all they do for UH. Maybe a kkea video channel on oceanic digital cable or something one day. Can only hope eh?

Honestly, I believe “local telent” has been at an all time high over the last 4-6 years, maybe more to tell the truth.
I mean kids like Epenesa, Jamora, Afalava, Francisco, Ioane, Parker, and many, many more.
Thing is, and it saddens me to say, but according to many, if not most the kids that went away, it’s a running theme that were not at all shown any “love” by UH and it’s coaches.
I think that is what has many Warrior fans excited about this new regime.
Don’t get me wrong, UH will never, I repeat, never be able to land all the best kids, but for the first time in a long time, at least the program’s in the fight, int he conversation. And according to many of the families, they’re not being “hung out to dry” so to speak.
To me, THAT is what’s refreshing!
And exciting!

My parents tells everyone how I guided my grandmother to the store from Liliha/Judd St when I was only 3 yrs old!
Would love to read more about this. Any idea where to get more info?
gems was like the forerunner to costco. to be a member of gems, government employee, heck half the people in honolulu work for some kind of government. you folks remember when costco first came here, you had to be a government employee or belong to some credit union, again that covers everyone. now membersip to costco is open to anyone who can pay the annual fee.
Remarkable guide as well as convenient in order to recognize description. Exactly how can We start gaining authorization in order to put up component from the post during my coming bulletin? Providing good credit score for you the actual article writer as well as website towards the websites wouldn’t be considered a challenge.
wow jerrod, sounds intelligent but nothing but mumbo jumbo…don’t know what you’re talking about and heck if i’m goint to click on your name.

Solid blog, I just book marked it
Just back from the farm…
Collectively, all the answers are in place… oldtimer808 has it all in #231
whitey — you did well for not living on Oahu (and not watching much Hawaii Five-O???) . Chun Hoon (#9) would be very difficult. But we used to shop there since we live in the Liliha-Judd area.
I do not know the 5th company in your #221 question.
Did TYaiea get it with “C. Brewer”?
UHAlum91 — Liliha/Judd…? 🙂
jm2375 — #6 Musashiya was difficult. I happened to know that because their store was a marble shot away from Fong’s (char siu) in the Chinatown fish market and that is where my parents bought me first suit for a prom… 😆
I got #2, 7, 10, 12, 13. Good night. 🙂
#210: but that’s exactly what happened – when Jones first came aboard, there was all kind of excitement about the top local kids wanting to stay home (like Timmy Chang, who was a HUGE get at the time), but eventually things fell off and we started to hear about the rift between Jones and the North Shore. Then, along comes Mack and the first thing he says is that they are going to recruit better locally, and for a time it does seem like that’s happening… but then we start to hear more and more local kids saying how UH didn’t even approach them. So I wouldn’t hold it against the Bobby Currans of the world for pointing that stuff out. They’ve been around the program a long time and they want to see some proof over an extended period of time before they declare that things really are different under Norm Chow. I hope they are.
you spam guys, fooled me once. neva again.
I have faith in Coach Chow! I have faith in his crew!
good nite Tsaikos.
sweet Warrior dreams!
#153 BigHiloFan2:
Thanks for calling out all the faux fans who just like to hear the sound of their own worst fears! Afraid that Coach Chow won’t live up to their unrealistic expectations. Guess he has to kiss babies or go to baby luau’s and heal the sick, before they will stop the nonsense.
Oh… no wait, they crucified the last guy that did that too.
howzit slenzi.
yup. i was going off at 161, 163. i can see Chauncey was already on it!
I think that 12/7/13 game date had to be moved because that is the date of the Pac-12 championship game. According to FB Schedules, the game at Aloha Stadium was moved to 8/30/14 and the game in Seattle is on 9/12/15.
After the Pac-12 expanded and set up a title game, the previously scheduled end-of-season games against Pac-12 teams had to be rescheduled.

It sure is hard for NMSU to hold on to coaches…typical of schools with smaller budgets. I’m posting this because it mentions how UH got Juan Lozano from NMSU for a similar position.

Condolences and prayers to you and your ‘ohana, WarriorMojo. My dad passed earlier last year too. Lots of Tsaikos lost family members in 2011. Tough year.
