Revised depth chart
Coach Greg McMackin today announced a revised depth chart. The Warriors will be going with a three-player rotation at defensive end, defensive tackle, cornerback and safety. The three at each position are considered to be starters.
So, entering training camp, the No. 1s are:
Defensive ends: Brashton Satele, Fetaiagogo (John) Fonoti, Elliott Purcell.
Defensive tackles: Tuika Tufaga, Rocky Savaiigaea, Vaughn Meatoga.
Cornerbacks: Tank Hopkins, Jeramy Bryant, Lametrius Davis.
Safeties: Mana Silva, Kenny Estes, Spencer Smith.
* * *
The downside of a state holiday, as the Warriors learned yesterday, is the guy with the key to Cooke/Ching field gate has a day off. (The gate also was locked at the grasss practice field.) That meant the players had to scale a 12-foot fence to work out.
Here’s quarterback Corey Nielsen:
Here’s wideout Joe Avery:
And cornerback Jeramy Bryant:
* * *
The Warriors have increased to five the number of 7-on-7 unsupervised workouts each week. In previous years, the players would have passing drills four days a week. It appears quarterback Greg Alexander is the organizer of this year’s passing drills.

Happy birthday to Ryan “The Beast” Eastman.
1ST!
This is not right.
Lucky nobody got hurt climbing the fence. There should always be someone on duty with a key to unlock the gate.
Unsupervised workouts=no key….
Stephen Tsai, I guess you didn’t jump the fence?
gd mrnin
ST – as someone mentioned -you should have akey to the facility.
With this being the 50th anniversary of statehood and 100th of UH football, there are going to be a lot of “best of” lists coming out.
Because everyone has a different opinion, I thought it was interesting that one of our readers prefaced a list by saying: “My favorite …”
That’s seems like a better way to do things.
So, given that, who are your five favorite UH football players …?
ai-ee-soos:
No faith that I’d make it over the fence?
Good one jojo. 🙂
Good morning Tsai-kos!
The problem isn’t so much ascending (OK, maybe that is a problem) as it is descending. I don’t like heights.
If I were a cat, I’d be the one the fire department would have to rescue.
getting to the top of the fence is easy, it’s your fall straight down that I worry about
Aloha Kakahiaka!
ST: Then YOU can supahviz the unsupervised workouts.
I don’t think there’s an NCAA rule that prohibits a neupepa blog host from supervising.
Well, not yet anyway. Then they’ll make it retroactive, and impose sanctions from that date.
auwe
This is just comical….lucky you live Hawaii. What would’ve been typically apropos was if these guys were cited for trespassing or something. Spiderman’s got nothing on these guys.
Aloha Kakahiaka!!!
ST ~ Approximately what time do the guys get to Cooke/Ching field to workout in the a.m.?
W-Doc ~ What about Any Place on So. King St.?
Pride. ~ What’s your critique of Any Place?
Favorite football players from the past:
Tommy Kaulukukui
(Dr.) Richard Mamiya
Richard Hadama
Sadao Joe Matsukawa
Warren Ackerman
(Col.) Ellsworth Bush.
I like favorite (to watch) as opposed to best…
1. Colt Brennan (surprise!) and the dreds – they count as 1 in my mind.
2. Ashley Lelie
3. Mighty Mouse
4. West
5. Patek
Remember, I am a rather late-to- the- table fan.
We actually had an interesting debate on the presence of reporters at unsupervised workouts.
A UH official checked the NCAA rule book.
The blog host checked the First Amendment.
Looks like scaling the fence is a workout itself.
Wait that fence and guys climbing over fence looks familiar.
I’m sorry i thought this website was America’s Most Wanted.
Go LAKERS, 2009 NBA Champions!!!!!
#18 – ROTFL 😆
thats what digital zoom is for.
morning gang!
hope nobody gets hurt scaling
Stephen – so i guess you found the chord
one of my faves to watch was the wedge busting of Semeri and later Max
ST
Is the fench where Nielsen and Avery climbed over topped by ‘barbed or razor wires’? Looks like somethings there.
Also Bryant was smart going ova the gate location.
So, will this mis-comm access issue be fixed for future ‘holidays’.
Just don’t want to read injure caused by nil key to any Warrior or someone applying their First Amendment entitlement. 😆
Great pics n Thnx.
fench = fence, sori meds
Don’t want people think they were all ova the fench = french
Good morning from Ketchikan, AK! waiting to go on a tour of the city. It’s in the mid-50s. Saw the glaciers in Juneau & Glacier Bay, went on the train up the mountain in Skagway, and, of course, been eating waaaay too much. BTW, our tour director’s name is Julie. 🙂 Haven’t found any crew members named Isaac or Gopher…
interesting to see the varying body lengths between nielsen and avery.
oops…tour=cruise. you get my drift…
so, can you see Russia?
good to hear reports of greg alexander taking a leadership role and stepping it up to 5 times will pay dividends in the fall.
i keep thinking that last year we were so far away from where we are this year. no experience at qb and wr.
and yet we were one play away from winning three more games.
i think we gonna do some damage and fool many this year.
Koakane and Cenn
Glad to hear other half recovering well.
Stretch
Noodles?
C rM – Can, you want it tomorrow or next week??
Soo, planning ahead – next State Holiday is on Friday, July 3; and possible furlough days in the future. Is GA or one of the other players who is taking the lead on the informal practices coordinating access or discussing this with UH admin (not the coaches)?
Stretch
Next week is good.
Let me know cost.
Thanks
Thanks, Stretch. Funny how Mr C asks, but Big C gotta cook….
Good Morning and Happy Aloha Friday, Tsai-ko Ohana!! We missed all you OFF one’s yesterday…Oh, I mean…the one’s that HAD the day off…..
1. Colt Brennan
2. Jeff Ulbrich
3. Michael Carter
4. Mat McBriar (Go Cowboys! Booooo Liz!!! J/K 😛 )
5. Travis Sims
Honorable mention:
Jason Elam, Chad Owens, Nick Rolovich, Garrett Gabriel, Leonard Peters, Nate Jackson
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Ryan ‘THE BEAST’ Eastman…whew, all of 19 years old. Have a good day son, train your a– off and eat everything in sight!
Is Inoke attending the summer drills? He was crucial last summer to teaching the new guys. He’s a leader regardless of his position.
Hmmmph.
1. Niko Noga (he was from my era)
2. Colt Brennan
3. Nick Rolovich
4. Gary Allen
5. Have to think more about this one.
is corey nielsen rocking air jordan IIIs???
part of the deal is that YOU have to cook for ME too!!
nevermind, those arent.
By the time the season kicks in, our new defense will be able to contain most, if not all, of the upcoming opposing team’s passing plays. It’s how they will do against the run that I am a bit concerned about. With only Brashton and Fonoti as returning starters, our offense may have to really light up the skies.
Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂
Scalin’ fences, thass wantin’ it!!!
I would pay a nickel to see a pic of the blog host makin’ the turn at the top of the fence! 😉
HAUOLI LAHANAU – BEAST!!!
Lucky 19!
Re: #47
I totally concur. Very well written! You should totally blog more about this! I shall subscribe as well! Insert generic comment here!
How are these spambots getting through???
Happy Birthday to the Snow Beast!
A year of experience under his belt. More chaos and confusion will rip thru the trenches as he unloads more fury from his launch site!
❗ KAUAI CATTLE CALL ❗
Attention all Tsai-kos on Kauai next week:
Addahknowsports will be among those in town. Let’s have a Cattle Call!
Please email me with your interest and best dates/times: lizkauai at gmail dot com.
Mahalo!
702,
There doesn’t seem to be any barbed-wire on lower campus. I think you’re seeing just the top of the chain-link itself or the illusion of the fence/bleachers just behind the fence giving the impression it is barbed-wire.
GOOOOO RED WINGS!!!
I wonder if a “volunteer” unlocking the fence would be in violation of some NCAA rule – one would think so. However, if there was a part-time employee on the custodial staff of the UH or security guard, it probably be OK.
With the cut backs at the Ådvertiser, maybe ST should apply for a part-time job at UH?
Looks as if jm2375 is having a good time!
Good Morning Tsaikos and Tsaikettes!
ST-
Maybe you could have looked for a gap at the bottom of the fence and limbo-ed under it. I’ve seen your “low, low low” moves. 🙂
Happy Birthday to Da Beast!
just poping in to say morning 8) tsai-ko nation, nice day today with some trades whoootahhhhhh
😀 plus my wife sends her thanks for the get well wishes from yu’all. da mrs is doing kinda well having to relearn stuffs again. the simple thing moving about is frustrating her and all this phys and occupational therapy is killing me (school is easier)
much mahalo to my EIS patnah for keeping you abreast of the situation
leaving school in about an hour and heading head back to hospital, so have a nice day, enjoy the company you with and play nice now. aloha
opps forgot to hippo birdie 2 ewe’s to the beast enjoy the 19th. last of the mighty fine teen years.
Looks like spambots that get thru are shut down by the ‘Tizer Tekkies. They’re just wasting their time because nobody can access their sites! Ha!
Looks like a pretty rocky mtn.-high fence, these guys have to climb to practice…..it’s not safe, number one. where is the guy who controls the key situation??? totally, BS, if you ask me.
so, da guy’s day off….only one key??

The above link gives live video streaming of the 2009 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships
UH womens high jumpers, Kaufman and Sheppard, compete in the finals at 11 pm.
Heptathlon athlete ,Wichmann, is competing in the long jump, javelin and 800 meter run today. The long jump gets underway in about 10 mins.
There have been weather delays in the area, so it could have an effect on the athletes performances.
On the Stanley Cup–I didn’t have a personal favorite, but now I do. In game seven final I’ll be rooting passionately for the Pitt Penguins. I hope Detroit Red Wings get romped.
Reminds of my sister in college. She would do that to get onto the tennis courts on Sunday mornings if security didn’t come by to unlock the gates during Spring Quarter. Of course they were probably thinking…what college students are awake enough on weekends to be out there at 7 a.m.?
koakane good news, take good care of her!!!!!
mctruck ~ Guy’s day off. One key. Job security.
Kekoa…Mctruck
Maybe it’s a combination lock, eh? Everybody knows only one number at a time and they gotta line up right.
Colt watch alert!
From a 4-letter sports network some of you might have heard of:
Would love to see Colt start one day, but not for the Redskins. Would have mixed feelings seeing Demarcus Ware obliterate him back there.
He would look awesome in a 49ers uniform. Even though I’m not a huge fan of the team I still have an affinity for them because of their Hawaii ties.
Stretch: #43, of course! Mr C knows the deal: I’m always up for cooking and feeding, in exchange for bottles….I’m a simple gal, you know…
In no particular order.
Garrett Gabriel – just the win over BYWhooo gets my nod.
Chad Owens – for his heart
Leonard Peters & Nate Jackson – for the hits
Colt Brennan – for all of the touchdowns
Those pics are classic!!!
I can imagine them getting kicked out for trying to practice.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO “DA BEAST”!!!
Bulla,
19 years old for your son huh?
Dang, 19… good times… 😎
KOLT WATCH!
http://www.hawaiiathletics.com/news/2009/6/12/BB_0612094259.aspx
“University of Hawai`i Rainbow outfielder Kolten Wong was named to PIng! Baseball’s All-Freshman First Team Friday.
Wong started all 58 games for the ’Bows in centerfield in 2009, batting .341 with 11 home runs, 21 doubles, two triples, 52 RBI, 46 runs and 11 stolen bases. Along with his prowess at the plate, Wong also led the team with seven outfield assists.
The Hilo, Hawai`i, native earned Western Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year honors, batting a team-high .424 in conference games. He was also a first-team all-WAC honoree.”
michelle wie is 1 over thru 11, t25 currently, 1 under total
anna nordqvist is leading at 8 under total currently
parket mclachlin shot 4 over 74, 8 over total
dean wilson is 2 under thru 12, 1 over total, projected cut is even par
brian gay leading at 10 under total
Five favorite UH football players.
1. Garrett Gabriel – he beat BYU
2. Levi Stanley
3. Gary Allen
4. Blane Gaison
5. Michael Carter or Colt Brennan
Guess that’s six. I was never good at math.
Dirty Cimmish:
your #66 – there are certain 49er fans on this blog that would LOVE to see Colt in a 49ers uni – I was hoping the 49ers would make a trade in the 2009 draft with Washington and Miami where 49ers get Colt for a future 6 round draft choice, Miami agrees trade Bess to the 49ers for a 5th or 6th round draft choice in 2010 (only because Bess did so well as an undrafted rookie)
then, 49ers offer RGM and CJ Hawthorne free agent contracts – this is the easy part as they0ares NOT in the NFL and there are NO considerations to another team – then, in certain game conditions, they do the “run-n-shoot”
A-House- drool… the “fab 5” 49ers… man… too much for the brain to comprehend!
My computer is lying ten feet away with its eyes rolled back in its head and its feet up in the air – in other words, it has died. Am using DrDoc’s computer until
he gets here to perform an autopsy. The problem is that I cannot access any of my files and records to do any work.
Here’s a suggesion for Virginia Hinshaw and her new boss – if necessary, be the gatekeepers for the unsupervised workouts.
Non-sports announcement: If you’re available for a couple of hours tomorrow morning, there will be a community service project at the Falls of Clyde at Pier 7 in Honolulu Harbor.. The ship goes into drydock on July 20 to be examined by a team of marine surveyors who will prepare the the necessary plans to preserve the ship from further degradation and then to restore it to its former glory as it was until the early 2000s. The workday – which includes sanding and other basic carpenter skillsas well as removing trash – will end at 11 am with a potluck picnic to follow.
Also, the Friends of Falls of Clyde will be holding a “Pau Hana Friendraiser” on Tuesday, June 30, in downtown Honolulu. Somehow planning & coordinating this event got passed on to me so as soon as I lock down all the logistical details, I’ll post the information here.
I thought for sure that the Niners were gonna get Colt since (then) OC Mike Martz raved about him and they had no viable QB options (still don’t IMHO), and being a homegrown product, and seeing as how they WHIFFED on the Aaron Rogers vs. Alex Smith debacle… they will regret the day they didn’t draft Colt.
Then again, we’ll see if Coach Singletary is going old school with some smash mouth hand it off 30 times a game and set up play action offense. In that case, Colt’s skillz would be wasted. I say if Romo can’t get us a playoff win in another year or two I’m making a personal call to Jerruh to go and get him.
We’ll see how things shake up when Zorn gets the axe because you know Danny Snyder is itching to get Holmgren/Cowher/Shannahan as his head coach.
Is there a fire at Punahou? It looks like it from my office.
Dang, Garret, just how many times is Texas having “jr days” or whatever they call it?
Isn’t there a limit on jr days?
BTW, how many times has a Texas commit, de-commit? I will presume it’s very low as there is great pride for a “texan” to play for Texas.
Hope some day the Warriors reach that lofty level so UH will immediately publicize names of commits so they can talk with other players to join their “team” and “bond”.
WassupDoc.
If your computer doesn’t even try to start up, try unplugging your computer from the wall socket for ten minutes and then plug it back in and restart. Maybe it went into a self-preservation mode due to a spike. Unplugging it sometimes resets it.
If it does light up but you get nothing on your monitor, you might try reseating the memory sticks and video card (if you have one).
Jojo you can see Punahou from downtown
jojo,
I can see the smoke from my lanai. Gonna get the binocs…
Ralph, I’m in Kaimuki, and the smoke was white. Is that a controlled burn?
jm2375,
i just checked with my cousins. my aunty and uncle are on the same cruise as you. they’re the lee’s. i’m sure its a huge ship with tons of passengers so you probably won’t even see each other.
jojo,
Heard a fire engine. No flames visible. White smoke from behind the buildings, so it’s hard to see if it’s on campus, but it appears to be at the edge of campus.
Jojo i thought Al picked you up downtown Hotel street for the Camellia cc 🙂 you guys must have been joking, but i swear you, Homey and JJ seem to rendezvous on Hotel street and chinatown…must be at night then, not during work hours…
Thanks MeiLing. I think the most entertaining fire was when Diamond Head went up a couple years ago. And the saddest was the UH Lab School.
A-House,
I don’t think there are many limits in the number of camps a school can have–UH is having a bunch of camps in one week, JJ had 4 camps in 4 days (each in a different part of Texas), USC and a lot of other top teams are having a lot of camps this summer. The key is that instead of having generic camps, Texas is having camps that are very focused on certain things.
Texas does get some decommits (Perrilioux switching to LSU at the last second, etc.) but they do all they can to keep their commits. Having a camp for the commits to bond is a great idea, especially when they invite their top uncommitted target to the camp to bond with their commits.
Texas had 2 decommits last week–one WR chose to go to BYU (he is LDS and I thought Texas had too many WR commits already) and the top-ranked S switched to Baylor (closer to home with a friend’s Dad coaching there).
A-House,
I’m sorry if I was too strong in my Colt McCoy post yesterday. I was really interested in finding a link between McCoy and UH, so I researched it since I hadn’t heard about that before. It would have been an interesting side note if both Colts had UH links.
2023 1/2
hours
till kickoff
michelle wie is fading, will make the cut…her playing partners are close to the cut line, bad threesome day, Shanshan at +8 on the 15th, Kim at +3 and Wie at +2
No Ralph, it’s Jason, homey, and JJ that are the late night/early morning downtowners. I’m not good enough to be in that crowd. I just wander street corners and driveways.
Amber and Emily still alive in the hi jump!!!
Willie Grace to last minnit PHO with some Tsai-kos!
Like we discussed yesterday, it really is too bad that the Warriors have to climb the fence to be able to practice. All we need is for one player (like Alexander or Salas) to get seriously hurt climbing the fence for the team to be hurt. And then the people who are ignoring this issue will really be in trouble…
Someone above made an excellent point that the furloughs will result in 3 more days per month where the person with the key will not be working. I would hope that the facilities staff at UH would come up with a solution to this…this is NOT the way a well-run D-IA program would be supported.
Bess was mentioned in this SI article.
… and from space if they had their way. 🙄
Greg Camarillo is competing with Bess for the starting WR spot opposite Ginn. Camarillo is coming back from an injury and was first team today, with Bess back to slot receiver.
Another article about Camarillo competing with Bess. The articles seems to try to indicate that Camarillo, Bess, and Ginn are competing for the 2 starting spots, but Ginn already has one spot reserved. When Miami goes with 2 TEs, their only WR is Ginn.
Unbelievable!!!! You would think that the guy w/ the key would give it to somebody responsible so that players are able to work out. Just because he has a vacation day doesn’t mean everybody is off. This is another case that something is really wrong here. Can’t the athletic dept. have a spare key? The players are busting their butt to get ready for the upcoming season and this kind of thing just makes me shake my head. I’m telling you, people have got to be accountable for their actions.
Working 5 days per week instead of 4 will really pay off. Great to hear that Alexander is taking that leadership role.
Go to google map. Maybe can see fire.
I suppose this also means that there were no security personnel on patrol in the lower campus yesterday? Or did they just watch these guys climb over the fence and ignore it, regardless of the potential of an accident occurring on their shift?
I also guess this means that the team ‘prefers’ to practice on ching/cooke rather than on the mound.
In the past the players have said that it’s nicer because Ching Field is just outside the locker rooms and the athletic complex whereas the grass fields are a on the otherside of lower campus.
The grass fields does have some pretty good sod.
49ers oh-fence. (Thanks to Larry Price)
Me thinks Mike Singletary will stick to the 1985 Chi Bears offense.
Has a helluva runner in Frank Gore.
OC is Jimmy Rae, whose been around, like 40 years, in the NFL.
QB coach is Mike Johnson.
Don’t think either coach has any inkling of the spread offense.
Therefore, no sense wishing for Colt & posse to be in this situation.
Wonder if Mike Singletary might say about this: “CAN’T DO-IT”.
I thought that ST said yesterday that the other field was locked too? That was why the OL couldn’t do blocking drills, if I remember correctly.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN !!!
If you were the owner of a franchise that needed a following to increase sales, say like the San Diego Chargers, Colt would be an ideal quarterback to build the team around.
afternoon gang!
Happy 19th Ryan!
jojo ® – huli huli chicken sale
Kazz – you recall if there’s a fence by the apartment/dorms side of the grass practice fields?
Happy Birthday Ryan!
haha .. i just figured out who C rM is… whooosh
Aren’t Strength and Conditioning coaches allowed at these “unsupervised workouts”? Somebody get Tommy Hef or Mel DeLaura a set of keys to CookeChing Field already.
wie at +2 thru 17, even for the tournament…chasing 7 strokes…
Kazz- #112, nevamind i when google earth’em, look like get
Loa,
The entire perimeter of the grass fields (both football in the upper and soccer on the lower) are surrounded by a fairly tall fence.
No way in unless you like scale that one too.
However, I made mention to seeing some students at night jumping the smaller gate just off lower campus road that is near the backside of the lower soccer field, it seems like a 6 foot fence so not too high and “do-able”. Only thing is gotta walk through the soccer field and up to the football one.
JF – good point, hmmmm
Kazz – was going suggest other ways to get in but you know that get the tracking software thingy on eh
An update of the womens high jump competition:
Both UH jumpers move to round 2 after making the opening height of 5′ 9″ 3/4
With 14 jumpers remaining the bar is set to 5′ 10″3/4
Sheppard-First attempt missed, Second attempt clearance
Kaufman-First attempt clearance
UH jumpers move on to the third round, where the bar is set at 6′ 0″
11 jumpers remain.
Sheppard-Three attempts missed(out)
Kaufman-First attempt clearance
Even heard the announcer said Wichmann had near her lifetime best in the javelin, moving her currently into fourth place in the standings. For Wichmann the final event of the heptathlon-800 meter run remains
Kaufman moves on to the fourth round
With the bar set at 6′ 1″1/4 she made it on her first attempt

if the security guys come, just tell’em we doing some cross training
roysan16 – mahalo for the updates, imua wahine
btw, meant to ask earlier, what does AAJA stand for?
wow tough one cause you not only leave off names now, but later on you going remember more?
1. levi stanley
2. al noga
3. gary allen
4. tui ala
5. jeff sydner
albert holmes? “mento”?
they should lock Cooke field like government agencies do – use chain and two locks. the normal UH personnel get the official key and “Unsupervisor” ST get the other one. wait……doesn’t ST get vacations?
Happy birthday, Ryan “The Beast” Eastman!!! Enjoy!
Kaufman misses at 6’2″1/4 finishing the competition in 3rd place. Her efforts were really strong, with just clipping the bar on her way down.
Wow, cool site. I’ll be back to read more that’s for sure.
My Fave-5:
1) Colt
2) Noga Bros.
3) Pisa
4) Michael Carter
5) The 4-WR’s from 2007 (Bess,RGM, J-Riv, CJ)
oh, hahahaha, thanks Loa!
Faves…without Colt and the dreadheads (since they’d most likely be tops in any overall category).
1. Nate Jackson….textbook definition of the heart and desire of a Warrior.
2. Gary Allen….actually brought excitement to the stadium with the I formation.
3. Niko Noga….who thought a nose tackle could be that exciting (and small).
4. Blaine Gaison….we all wanted to be Blaine Gaison growing up.
5. Nate Ilaoa…like Colt said, he was the “straw that stirred the drink”.
Wichmann finishes the heptathlon in 7th. Her score of 5675 was 5 points higher than her previous record she set last year.
larry sherer, jeris white, and how could i leave off one of the all time 49ers…….Jesse Sapolu.
I guess the State has started furloughs already. I haven’t seen g-nalo on here in a long time but we get 2 posts in a day.
Pepper spray pens? hmmm.. what happens when you get really teed at something and pummel that pen into the sheepshank, will it squirt some in your own eye further exacerbating the situation?
Happy Aloha Friday, Tsaikos. Another million-dollar day in Waikiki. Had to think about this, but here are my top 5 Rainbows/Warriors:
1. Alex Kaloi
2. Blane Gaison
3. Colt Brennan
4. Al Noga
5. Garrett Gabriel
More names from the past:
Ed Kawawaki
Skippy Dyer
Larry Price ( yeah that Larry Price )
wow no timmy chang favorites?
Happy birthday to the Beast!
PUNAHOU FIRE MYSTERY SOLVED:
Smoke was from an Imu as reported by KGMB
http://kgmb9.com/main/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=18315&Itemid=245
Wow. That must be one bumbucha imu. And that’s a lot of roast pig. I wonder if they need help polishing it all off. If so, the Dirty Commish will gladly donate his services.
Off topic, anybody had imu cooked Turkey? Heard about it but lack of yard prevents me from making it.
Interesting locked gate problem. Job security or just not thinking? Sometimes it seems the sole raison d’être for a few is to inconvenience others. I wonder if they sit there in glee and say, “I did that!”
Surely, the grounds and maintenance crew and the security guard(s) are not party to such behavior.
DC . . .
Tastes great! As does duck, goose and chicken.
My favorites:
1) Niko Nogo
2) Jesse Sapolu
3) Walter Murray / Ashley Lelie
4) Colt Brennan
5) Gary Allen / Dana Mclemore
Sadly, Timmy never really got embraced by the fans due to pretty inconsistent play earlier in his career and the fact that he threw A LOT of picks.
I’ll cheat a bit, here’s my top 5 offense and top 5 defense:
Offense:
1) Colt – no question
2) Ashley Leile
3) Jeff Synder
4) Chad Owens
5) Michael Carter
Defense:
1) Al Noga
2) Pisa
3) Jeff Ulbrich
4) Nate Jackson
5) Mark Odom
I don’t know how you guys can pick just five (or even ten, in Kevin’s case)! I’ve been watching for only 11 years, and I find it way too hard. 😀
Dirty Commish: You making me hungry. Oh wait, I still have some cookies from Subway. 🙂
roysan16:
many thanks for the updates on the Wahine track and field threesome – each has represented UH very, very well!
One way I look at how some view Timmy Chang is that he was the 3rd QB under June Jones following Dan Robinson and Nick Rolovich’s amazing 2001 season finish. Timmy Chang had a lot of hype coming into UH as a heralded HS athlete.
UH football is continuing to roll after horrible seasons under Fred von-Appen and UH football fans are remembering what it was like to win games again. You win and expectations increase. QB position in the run and shoot is the man.
Timmy did throw a TON of picks, was expected to do well out of high school, and the program was winning (minus the 2000 season at the time). People got impatient and dare I say people got “spoiled” back then too.
Timmy Chang in all he achieved, was the fall guy. The QB position comes with it.
Presently Greg Alexander is in that position now and no other QB after Alexander or even Alexander himself will ever be truly appreciated by the luke-warm majority of Hawaii spectators (sans REAL fans) until another 2007-ish season is repeated and expanded upon.
Brent Rausch, Corey Nielsen, David Graves, Bryant Moniz, and Cayman Shutter will have their work cut out for them in the years to come.
***A THOUSAND APOLOGIES PLEASE!!!***
#147 I forgot to mention Shane Austin. I apologize to Shane Austin.
Whitey,
I have not forgotten our friendly wager BTW… 😉
Dirty Commish, I just had imu-cooked turkey this week. It was ono…and less greasy than pig.
so busy, so busy, but not enough to wish one “Beast” a most Happy Birfday and best wishes for an awesome 2009 season!!
hello, to his Mom and Dad
I don’t know if I can pick a top 5, but one name that deserves mention I think is Jason Elam. I remember going into the stadium early just to watch him warm up, and I wasn’t alone. And the winner against Iowa was classic. Also Nu’u Fa’aola, just because he had tons of heart and it was always awesome to hear the entire stadium chant Nu’u…

Sapolu…hooray, offensive linemen need luv2! 🙂
The names of yesteryear bring back memories of roasted peanuts, rainbows of the Manoa mist, mud, confetti, that announcer saying, “that’s Shearer with the ball…” and of course…all those termites!
Always loved Jason Elam esp when we decided to come back after leaving to go back home.. Lopati Junior, Travis Sims were fun to watch as well..
ST, picking 5 is very difficult. maybe if was broken into coaching periods might help.
Junior Lopati
When I first heard the report of a robin dying, I thought, “How old was Burt Ward?”
for all you guys that loved Pisa you guys are gonna love Sage Nua =)
I remember in 2000, JJ called a QB-only meeting. Mike Harrison looked really annoyed when he exited. That’s when we learned Chang surpassed Harrison on the depth chart.
kazz, no worry, i going win. hahahahhaaaaa
sage the herbal essence of pisa…
As a true freshman, Harrison was 5 for 7 in the 1999 opener against USC.
Whitey,
Eh… no mattah who wins, if dat QB really da man, we all win!
BTW,
I decided, what I’ll get you if you win the wager, but it’s a surprise only way to know is if you win! 😎
BTW, speaking of Larry Shearer, he is a Dentist on Kauai.
postmanke: remember the “student body to the right and left”, alsways first play of the game, always made 10+ yards by Shearer, Al Holmes, and dang, forgot the name of the other running back who was the first 1,000 yards rusher in Hawaii history – shades of USC who, IIRC, does not do that any more.

Would it be easier to pick the five favorite Jessicas?
1. Jessica Alba
2. Jessica Simpson
3. Jessica Rabbit
4. Baby Jessica
5. Jessica Sudduth
ST:
Interesting “revised depth chart” – this will make it tougher or easier for the incoming players to make their marks?
How long did Harrison stay with UH after he was replaced by Chang? Funny, or should it be, but I cannot recall him at all. Venturing into the twilight zone again!!
You mean there’s a Jessica worth mentioning after Alba? 😉
Ah, Mike Harrison. That’s a name I hadn’t heard for a long time.
Five favorite Jordans:
• MIchael Jordan
• Jordan Sparks
• Jordan Segundo
* Lee Jordan
• Jordana Brewster
Aloha and Happy Friday!!!!!
Have a great weekend! See some of you soon………
I went to a wiki site to find famous people named Colt. The most famous?
Colton James Brennan.
I did not know his middle name is James.

ah Jordana Brewster I’ll pick her first amongst your Jordans….
hah. anyone else watch chuck?
jordana brewster….
1. Jessica Alba
2. Jessica Simpson
3. Jessica Keefe
A-house – Shearer was a little before my time. my first seasons was 1981-82. Gary Allen, David Toloumu, QB Lyons, Tuinei etc.. I still remember wearing my Primo beer can knit visor though…
I guess the State has started furloughs already. I haven’t seen g-nalo on here in a long time but we get 2 posts in a day.
like football players……..practicing…..
how about a fab5 ferds…
Dirty Commish- Waimea High has an imu and our Pony BB league used to do fundraisers at Thanksgiving. People could buy imu space and then bring their turkey or pork butts or chicken or whatever, and have them cooked. My favorite stuff was the rice pudding that got cooked in the big tin cracker cans. WOW!
Those cracker cans were the best for everything… recycled as opala holders or standing dustpans.
Yea, Kenney Estes!
Thanks for the revised depth chart, ST.
Would it be easier to pick the five favorite Jessicas?

Chawan,
The lasting memory of Jessica Keefe I have has nothing to do with what she did on the volleyball court.
I remember the volleyball “aunties” having one sign that read: “Keefe ‘EM!!!”. 😆
I couldn’t stop laughing that entire match! 😆
A-house – Shearer was a little before my time. my first seasons was 1981-82. Gary Allen, David Toloumu, QB Lyons, Tuinei etc.. I still remember wearing my Primo beer can knit visor though…

Hey Stephen any chance Charlie Wade is next week’s Warrior Beat guest?
Eh, no fo’get Jessica Tandy!
Hume Cronin never does….maybe.
Have we forgotton how exciting Jason Rivers was in the clutch?
I used to love watching Samson Satele beatin’ up on defensive players. His dedication to protecting Colt was incredible; I remember one game when some defensive players were in Colt’s face after a play, how Samson came and stepped in front of Colt, face to face with the jaw-jackers. Poof! They quickly disappeared.
Here’s some love to my old lab partner, Raphael “Rap” Cherry.

Imu-cooked turkey is ONO!!!
Every Thanksgiving, Castle High School has a fund-raiser cooking turkeys, pork butts etc in an imu the night before. You provide the turkey/pork butt, you do the seasoning, ti-leave it, put it in a pan, wrap it in foil and the people down at the school will wrap it in wire and toss it in the imu. My wife thinks Kailua HS does it also.
You do have to make the reservation about a month before.

Cool- Augie T is a real Warrior FAN!!!
hmmm … that revised depth chart above…
doesn’t each position require two players on the field at each time? So that means we have one reliever for two positions?

MIH,
I think the three are the “first team” which means any two of them could actually start the game, the 3rd will be the rotating sub and all three will probably end up playing about the same amount of downs.
The “second team” are the next 2-3 subs who would rotate in for fatigued players, injuries, bad play, etc..
the question I have is what about the linebackers?
Hello powder, wafan…everybody else. Sorry I’ve been lurking way more than participating. Working alot and doing off season conditioning. Since we’re less than 90 days from kickoff…its time for my game face again.
Hi Liz, Kekoa, Jason…who else is on right now. I’ll be leaving to start drinking adult beverages shortly…

Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Penguins on a job well done!
Auwe to Detroit Coach Mike Babcock and veteran players like Kris Draper, Tomas Holmstrom, Nicklas Lidstrom, and Henrik Zetterberg for NOT getting this Detroit Red Wing machine up and running from the start as they should.
The so-called “savior” of the NHL Sidney Crosby still has to prove he can take control of a game, luckily for him, his teammates, ESPECIALLY goalie Marc-Andre Fleury stepped up when it mattered.
Too bad these teams are in separate conferences, would be great for the NHL on a national scale to have these teams going at it on a regular basis. The ratings for the Stanley Cup Finals this season has been higher than it’s been and hopefully this continues.
Having played the sport extensively not too long ago and then coaching it, I hope that hockey does catch on. It’s a great spectator sport. It has constant speed, aggressiveness (sometimes deliberate and dangerous considering the speed and size at which these guys play at), and world-class skill.

When the Men’s Volleyball got stripped of its National Championship Title, it seemed like the air started leaking out of the program and no one could find a patch that worked. HF certainly didn’t appear to be fighting very hard to keep the title. May of made some people think that maybe the AD knew something they weren’t privy too and didn’t want to make matters worse.
Linebackers? Shall we venture to guess?
Blaze Soares, R.J. Kiesel-Kauhane, and Corey Paredes
Middle Linebacker.. we only got two there anyway..
Mana Lolotai, and Jake Heun.
bcs teams get busted with players taking cash and get a slap on the wrist.

Re-My all time favorite reserve
1. Shawn Witney-Allen
The bar would come alive when he came into the game. A five yard run by Shawn would elicit the biggest cheers of the night. People around me loved him. I did, too. Sizing him up, you could tell he was a tough player. He would look to run before throwing the ball irregardless if UH was up by 4 scores in the waning minutes of a game. His throws had a lot of velocity and reminded me of gunslinger.He played what ever little playing time he had for UH with a lot of passion-And what’s proof positive of this is that he continued playing after his UH days were over. He’s earned a lot of respect from his players, fans and coaches for continuing his football. And the glimpses of his tenacity as a reserve at UH he carries on.

Re-My least memorable moment at a UH game, off field
The game is over. And my friend, I’d describe as a heavy weight even though he’s small in stature, pool hall owner and family man loses it after the game. And hurls the leftover musibis, maybe three of them, into the direction of the Air Force bench. I stood watching horrified. And knew the heavy gambling losses he took on the game affected his behavior. This image of him winding up, holding the musibis, like they were grenades and hurling them with such madness is forever ingrained in my memory. His eyes were filled with such rage. In his state of mind everything around him was diluted, including his friend, that tried to stop his actions.
Did anyone watch Leahy & Leahy on Wednesday night?
Coach Mack was the guest and toward the end of the show he was asked about contacts on the mainland who could assist with recruiting players in the future. Only name to surface was Jesse Sapolu as a possible source. Then, conversation shifted to his sons and Coach Mack started giggle like a young boy in a candy store and he quickly said “can’t talk about that”. Impression I got was that UH may still have a chance to get both even tho’ both have committed to other schools. Older would be a Jr and other Freshman.
Does Coach Mack still have scholarships? Thought he said all are gone for 2009.
ST, any knowledge on this?
BTW, Coach Dana will be the guest next Wednesday on Leahy & Leahy.
Aren’t they 2010 recruits?
UH is out of scholarships.

Hmmm…speaking of Favorite 5’s or Fab 5’s, who would your all time Favorite 5’s be at each position if you had a depth chart of 5 deep at each position, with wide receivers obviously the exception since we normally use a 4 receiver set. So lets say you can go 3 deep at the 4 receiver positions…
Quarterbacks…
1. Colt Brennan
2. Michael Carter
3. Nick Rolovich
4. Timmy Chang
5. Garret Gabriel
to me the most dominate defenses we had was back during the time of niko, al noga, and alvis satele. we’ve had pretty good defense recently, but to me those past defenses could really bring da hurt!! i guess it’s because that was my first exposure to UH football.
wish we had the niko, al noga defenses to go with the colt brennan, davone bess offenses. BCS all four years?

In the eyes of the NCAA, rules state that off season football work outs have to be unsupervised. This basically means the players are basically are on their own. The coaches and school are to be distant from the workouts. Would yesterday’s report of the players scaling the fence indicate that, indeed, the Warrior’s workouts are unsupervised are in compliance? I think it does, certainly. This example would be punctuated.
On the reading where the Warriors reached the cap of 5 days of allowable off season 7-7 drills, I hope they’re watchful of the 20 hour cap, too.

“You’re snoring so loud, I can’t sleep! GO HOME!”

I see your point. You’re right. But I’m not convinced for I read or heard someone else mentioning they have a cap. I’m guess I’m wrong.
roysan16,
What I stated in #293 is wrong, as there are of course limitations to the number of hours that players may practice on their own at times of the year. However, it is not the Academic Year. Also, the link you provided shows that the rules are different for football and basketball.
The link also explains why UH has their camp before classes begin, as there are no limitations to practice time before classes begin.
Centers
1. Jesse Sapolu
2. Samson Satele
3. Kani Kauahi
4. Lui Fuata

roysan16,
It figures that there would be some kind of limitation. After all, NCAA regulates summer basketball and baseball even though it’s not during the school year. Bunch of scumbags.
What about John Estes?
Pauoa Boy,
Wasn’t Samson just a center for one season at UH? I’d put him on the guard list and not the center list.
shall i work on the following week’s guest?
how about chris tormey?
he could be busy on the recruiting trail, but, he would be a top pick.
how about ron lee? he would be an excellent though rather elusive guy to track down along with brother cal.

What about the yeoman in the trenches like our very own Pride of the Warriors?…Mr. Keith Ah Yuen, ladies & gentlemen.
very good point kekoa.
kekoa….got you covered on #317
Keith Ah Yuen — definitely Tsai-ko Tsingers Top 5. In terms of football — eh, before my time. 🙂
I think Rich Miano would be a good guest.
We can ask him about all the different coaches his been with and how this team is different. We can ask him his assessment of every defensive player as of Spring. Who will have a break out year..etc.. etc..
I still get chicken skin everytime I think about how it felt in the stands watching Gabriel take BYU apart. It was an emotional feeling unlike anything I had ever felt before! It wasn’t just a beating, it was the humiliation so many of us fans had hungered for. We BEAT byu to a pulp!
It took the rest of that night and into the next morning for the exuberance of that win to begin to wear off…and then the replay was on at 10:00 AM! It confirmed that the game was for real, it wasn’t just a dream.
Thanks for watching out for the big guy Al.
John Estes still playing, I wasn’t thinking of any current players…
Samson Satele is a better Center in my book, but most of the guys can play multiple positions, so I’ll combine my Guard/Tackle list in no particular order…

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – University of Hawai‘i high jumper Amber Kaufman captured the program’s first medal at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships since 1984 after winning the bronze medal Friday in the high jump finals at the University of Arkansas’ John McDonnell Field.
http://www.hawaiiathletics.com/news/2009/6/12/WOUTDOOR_0612094313.aspx
re #322 – Kekoa, amen on your “chicken skin” comment. I remember there were some folks in the press box who had to run out of the box so that they could “let it all out.”
Congratulations Amber Kaufman!
Reply to ‘roysan16’:
I agree with you about Bob Wagner; he was terific & a classy guy–unfortunately UH did not handle his departure in a classy way. As for Garrett Gabriel-no way. UH won DESPITE him & not because of him. You forget the stellar cast he was with & that awesome D. Have you forgotten that aside from the 2 BYU blowouts, he averaged approx.less than 200 YPG & I think he made 70 to 80 yards against the likes of New Mexico, UTEP & others. He was pathetic & kind of a big-headed braggart on campus. I will admit that he did play injured at times & it hampered his performance, but please don’t mention him in the same breath as Colt & Rolo. Gabriel showed the same poor judgement of when to run or pass as Timmy Chang did & also shared the same penchant for throwing into multiple coverage to a preferred receiver
instead of to the open guy (same as Timmy)–Colt & Rolo never had that weakness.
the girl who won the high jump is a 6’4″ OH for Texas, she jumped her height. she is complemented with 6’5 and 6’3 middle blockers.
Hmmm…now Defense, this is going to be difficult

I know you were cheering for the Red Wings, but I was glad that the Penguins were able to win the Stanley Cup.
My son worked on a project involving the Penguins and was given an autographed Sidney Crosbie jersey for his efforts.
They installed “yinzcam” in the Mellon Arena. Would be great to have that Aloha Stadium, but it would be too costly given the state of our economy.
Penguins!

el guapo,
Check again, Mark Tuinei was an Offensive Tackle for the Dallas Cowboys during the Troy Aikman, Emmit Smith years…
Wasn’t Tuinei a DL at UH? But he played OT in the pros.
Jason/Pauoa Boy,
Dats wat I tot, too.
Also, IIRC Niko Noga was primarily a DL while at UH.
Favorite Former UH Assistant Football Coach
1. Mike Cavanaugh
He had a hands on approach to coaching. Watching him at UH practices I’d see him teaching his players by himself getting in front of the player and instructing them to raise their elbows higher or narrow their stances. The next practice it would be something different. But he kept at it, workman like, reminding his players of the little things, like keeping their shoulders square-and he’d actually manually square their shoulders. He kept drilling it into them. The bemusing part is watching the players eyes as they follow Coach Cav, maybe half the size of most of the players, trying to mimic a OL pulling block or trap block. He had a great relationship with his players. And it was no mistake that he chose the farthest distance on the field away from the rest of the team and the public–so that the players got his full attention.

Anyway, I know I left out choke guys but das who I could remember, everybody else is before my time…
I forgot Leo Goeas and Joe Onosai too on the Oline…
Didn’t Tuinei pass away from drug overdose???
protector ~ Re-read my observation for the one game that made us all feel good. It was all about kickin’ BYU’s A$$! Gabriel was the QB, and had a good game. I give him credit for that game…period.
Others like him, and that’s fine. You don’t like him because you see some flaws in his game, and that’s OK. Good on ya!
Colt will hold the #1 spot in my book until someone else breaks ALL his records. None of the other QB’s really measure up. I liked some of them, like Rolo, but Colt…he was special.
Tom Tuinei played DT
Mark played OL

Back in 1983, this little-known defensive end from Hawaii somehow made the Cowboys’ roster as a true project player with upside. As it turned out, the scouts were only half right about him.
He did have upside, just not as a defensive end. He switched to offense and it wasn’t long before Mark Tuinei was a fixture at left tackle on the Cowboys’ offensive line. As was the case with many other players, Tuinei’s individual success didn’t come until the team exploded onto the scene in the 1990s.
Attention ST and all the Tsaiko’s ~ Late Breaking News
(J)James’ mom was rushed to surgery this eve. Not sure what her condition is at this moment, he is understandably shaken by this emergency.
Prayers to her and hoping for the best outcome.
I thought Mark Tuinei had a brother, Tom Tuinei, who went to a mainland school (PAC-10, I think). Tom Tuinei is the one who played pro football.
I could be wrong. I also vaguely recall them being from Punahou.
Hoping from a speedy recovery for JJ’s mom….
Sending lots of prayers and positive thoughts to JJ’s mom, JJ and family.
Oldie,
Yeah Pittsburgh wanted it more tonight.
Not too surprised as I felt this Detroit team wasn’t as deep as they were in 97, 98, and 02.
tom went to waianae hs and later the university of hawaii. he played with the detroit lions and later in the cfl.
mark, his brother went to ucla and then transferred to hawaii. had a long illustrious career with the dallas cowboys for 15 years. went as a dlineman but spent most of his time as an all pro olineman.
mark was probably hawaii’s best.
our prayers of healing to j/j’s mother.
My prayers for James, his mom, and his family. I hope everything will be alright.
James, my thoughts and prayers to you in this difficult time.
Prayers and good thoughts for j/j and his mom and the rest of his family.
can’t leave out larry cole from any all timer lists. one tough haole boy who also had a long run with the dallas cowboys.
the all time winningest hc was/is dave holmes at 72% he probably made the regents realize that we could move on to d1 ball back in the day. i remember those days well.
