On the line

It appears that Kapua Sai has earned the final No. 1 spot on the offensive line, claiming the left guard’s job.

That allows Mike Milovale to become the floater. He practiced as the No. 2 right tackle yesterday.

With the opener a week away, the Warriors will tone down practice today, giving the scout players more reps. The Warriors have tomorrow off, and will have only meetings and conditioning drills on Monday. That will give the starters nearly three days of rest before resuming full workouts on Tuesday.

Birthday wishes to Greg Salas, Leonard Lau and Tommy Heffernan.

    Congratulations to Kapua Sai! It is good that Milovale is versatile, as UH will need depth to rest players and handle for injuries.

    Howzit, everyone!

    Just got back from spending a few hours out at the first ever (Poly)’Nezian Fest out here in Georgia. Good food, old and new friends, lost of entertainment… and really hot. Only complaint… not enough shade for everyone. Two tents, no clouds, 88 degrees by the time we left. Shave Ice would have been good too, but the vendor is only scheduled for tomorrow, not today. Oh well. Was fun anyways.

    Got to enjoy some laulau, lomi salmon, etc. from fellow Georgia Tsai-ko, Bruddah Bobby. Will send ST a pic later… gotta cool down now.

    d1shima,

    It is interesting to follow the daily changes in the UH-USC game as the bettors put their money down. The money line jump up big today so things are:

    +40 (William Hill’s line went up to 40.5, I’m guessing money is heavy on USC)

    +29250

    I wish I was in Vegas to take advantage of these lines, but I’m posting from our garage sale.

    It is interesting to see how much Boise State got the Big East to pay for their Big West entry:

    Big East will pay $2 mil of their $2.5 mil entry fee to the Big West

    Big East will pay half of their travel subsidy for the first 2 years (the new TV contract will kick in after that), Big East pays $385k and Boise State pays $385k

    Good Morning Everyone!

    SteveM and I are cruising back from Vancouver to Honolulu on

    Sept. 30/12 and would like to get together with the Tsai-kos

    on Oct. 2, Tuesday at 7 pm. We will request Art or Gaye to

    reserve an area for our “Dutch Treat Get Together”. Please

    let us know that if you will be joining us. Dessert to be

    served after dinner. Thank you.

    I’m glad that UH got the Big West to agree that schools entering after UH don’t get a travel subsidy–so, no travel subsidy to SDSU and BSU.

    Boise State’s exit fee starts at just $1.5 mil and goes down $250k per year until it drops to $250k. That is a tiny exit fee that Boise State will pay whenever it wants to leave. $250k is not going to stop anyone from leaving the Big West…


  19. Garret August 25, 2012 9:13 am

    SDSU got into the Big East for football because Boise State picked them.

    Boise State got into the Big West because SDSU pushed for them. It is interesting that if SDSU leaves the Big West then the Big West can kick Boise State out with 2 years notice.


  20. Garret August 25, 2012 9:14 am

    Bad news on Ryan Mouton. I hope that he recovers completely soon and that his concussion was as mild a level as possible.

    Titans CB Ryan Mouton suffered a concussion in the team’s third preseason game Thursday night.

    Though typically a day-to-day injury, it’s one that could cost Mouton a roster spot with final cuts approaching. Mouton had fallen behind Tommie Campbell in the race for nickel back duties. He may need to clear up quickly to stick.


  21. mo808 August 25, 2012 9:15 am

  22. WarriorMojo August 25, 2012 9:16 am

    Hi, Garret, good to see posting. Good luck with your garage sale.


  23. Garret August 25, 2012 9:17 am

    It is no surprise to me that Pisa’s cousin picked up football so quickly. I’d love to see him on the DL for UH someday.

    As a true nose tackle in the Demons’ 5-2 alignment, Tinoisamoa racked up a team-high 87 tackles and 17 sacks as a junior in 2011.

    The kicker β€” it was only his second season of organized football.

    Most teams opted to double- and triple-team Tinoisamoa and call more quick pass plays to minimize the havoc he causes.


  24. haka August 25, 2012 9:17 am

    Beat USC!

    Aloha Neil Armstrong..moonwalker once again.

    WarriorMojo,

    My wife just pointed out that we have already made about 3x what I told her I thought we would make. I shouldn’t complain, I have time to sit now and blog since the rush of people seems to be over.


  28. Garret August 25, 2012 9:23 am

    USC CB really messed up on his schoolwork–not only can he not play this season, they took away his scholarship! He’s a senior so I think his only option to play is to go to D-IAA. They lost that CB but they just got a CB and LB cleared to play.

    USC’s roster, in flux because of NCAA sanctions, came into clearer focus Friday when Coach Lane Kiffin announced that cornerback Isiah Wiley was academically ineligible for the season and that linebacker Marquis Simmons and cornerback Brian Baucham had been cleared to play.

    http://www.latimes.com/sports/college/usc/la-sp-0825-usc-football-20120825,0,4733499.story


  29. Garret August 25, 2012 9:24 am

    The CB that USC just got academically cleared had to miss last season due to academics. Congratulations to him for getting his grades in order.

    Baucham was academically ineligible last season. He was elated to learn that he could play as a fifth-year senior.


  30. Garret August 25, 2012 9:28 am

    USC”s starting MLB is out with injury so they are moving an OLB to MLB for the UH game.

    For the last few weeks, with Lamar Dawson sidelined because of a leg injury, Pullard has played middle linebacker.

    http://www.latimes.com/sports/college/usc/la-sp-0824-usc-football-20120824,0,3160633.story


  31. Old School Dave August 25, 2012 9:38 am

    USC is one of those schools where if you lose your starting position to injury, you’re not likely to regain it due to the large number of talented players waiting in the wings.


  32. mctruck August 25, 2012 9:41 am

    Too bad both SDU and BSU are headed for the same conference, otherwise, I’m sure the BW wouldn’t have budged in allowing BSU entry into the league.

    That being said…..yesterdays ESPNU, discussion was not at all favorable towards the BigEast in 2012/13, and beyond. Noting that even with new additions; do not feel a move upward.


  33. Da Punchbowl Kid August 25, 2012 9:41 am

    Good Morning Gangeez!

    Not a big fan of garage sales in general, but would love to have seen the stuff at YOUR sale, Garret. πŸ™‚ Any Star Wars prototype stuff or strictly houshold items?


  34. Garret August 25, 2012 9:43 am

    Old School Dave,

    That is normally the case, but USC has much less depth than they normally have because they have a limited number of scholarship players due to their NCAA punishment. Injuries are that much bigger of a factor for them now because they have less players.


  35. Garret August 25, 2012 9:44 am

    DPK,

    Lots of girl clothing that my girls outgrew, lots of books for younger kids, and lots of stuffed animals. Having girls (who refuse to even watch a single Star Wars movie) is very different than having boys…


  36. Da Punchbowl Kid August 25, 2012 9:45 am

    One more week until the date with destiny. Shock the Woild I tell ya! Just shock it!

    Congratz to Kapua – enjoyed watchin’ his Dad on the telly last night.

    Countin’ on the Oline to be a big part of that Woild shockin’ goin on next week!

    SHOCK THE WORLD!!!

    GO O LINE!!!

    GO WARRIORS!!!


  37. Ipu Man August 25, 2012 9:45 am

    Now, now, Garret, don’t be making excuses for USC for when they start whining

    why they lost to lowly Hawaii…

    Hmmm, Dory is lurking and posting.

    She loves surprises 😯 but I requested no secret surprise parties… mainly because many good friends she did not know were not invited last time. So now everything from her is posted and “advertised”.

    ….as far as I know, anyway πŸ™„


  39. Da Punchbowl Kid August 25, 2012 9:48 am

    RIP Neil Armstrong.


  40. Garret August 25, 2012 9:51 am

    mctruck,

    I wouldn’t trust too much of what ESPN says about the Big East. ESPN has had the Big East TV rights for years, but they know that they will be likely losing the Big East’s TV deal and one of their competitors will get all of that TV inventory. ESPN has a vested interest in slamming the Big East because it drives down the TV value if the Big East wants to extend their ESPN deal (only ESPN gets to negotiate with the Big East starting next week) and it lessens the perceived value of a conference that ESPN will probably lose.

    A writer for ESPN even published a column this week about how ESPN is trying to hurt the Big East. The ACC added 2 Big East schools last year because they said that ESPN told them to.

    The writing on the wall says that ESPN won’t have the Big East for much longer. It is *not* a coincidence that ESPN’s negativity towards the Big East started after the Big East rejected ESPN’s offer of more than *$1 bil* because they thought they could get more money from one of ESPN’s competitors (*cough*, NBC, *cough*).


  41. Bugaz August 25, 2012 9:51 am

    Not surprised that Kapua got the spot. After all he did play for Chow last year and knows his offence. Also he is the most capable of being a mature leader on the o-line


  42. Ipu Man August 25, 2012 9:57 am

    So Garret didja post a Pomai prediction yet?


  43. SteveM August 25, 2012 9:57 am

    Academics are taking their toll on SC. Their #1 CB is out for the season for grades. 2 others are on a tightrope.

    Schollie issue still a bit of a problem. Uncertainties can disrupt the vibes. Just ask BHF2.


  55. Old School Dave August 25, 2012 10:41 am

    Props to USC and their AD. They’ve always been willing to schedule games with UH over the years. Stark contrast to the people up at UCLA.

    Speaking of which the media seems to be so impressed with UCLA HC Jim Mora – Sporting News ranked him something like the 5th best new hire in Div I Football this season which is pretty impressive for a failed NFL HC and someone who has no college coaching experience. My impression of Mora is of when he lost it in a radio interview on ESPN when asked a question about Michael Vick when he was the coach of the Falcons. Sounded like a real jerk, Mora did.

    Just came home from fishing and saw UH playing BYU on TV, and then remembered that I did not get to see that game. Since it is on the BYU Channel, I’m sure it is a win for BYU. However, it makes me very happy to see how developed David Graves was in just his second start as a warrior. God Bless the Warriors one and all – Geevum!!!

    The Young Tsai-kos Challenge Winner (Phase 2)

    The high score was 18 out of 28. It was a close with two people tied at 18, two tied at 17, and two tied at 16 correct guess.

    jojo and Kekoa tied at 18, but jojo had the 2nd tie-breaker and Kekoa, the 3rd.

    Therefore jojo is the winner!

    gigi-hawaii and gmahoney tied at 17, but gigi held the higher tie-breaker to take 3rd place.

    mo808 and L10pc tied at 16. mo808 held a tie-breaker.

    Hawaii fans…what color is UH wearing at the Coliseum? White or green?

    If you are staying near USC be careful at nights. Especially if you are staying at any of the hotels near the Galen Center. Women should not be alone if possible walking.

    If you want to go to Kings Bakery on Sepulveda in Torrance usual wait time for kau kau at least 30 minutes. If you just want a plate lunch there is a 2nd location in Gardena/ Torrance area. Lots of L&L places all over. Coach Chow usual Sunday is Temple then folks go to Back Home in Lahaina in Manhattan Beach.

    Let me say this…what USC did to Norm Chow…they got some karma coming their way! Believe people as he knows Lame Kiffen…yes folks in LA call him Lame… playbook better then anyone in Coaching. USC has lost

    depth. Big time. Whoever was posting about Jim Mora not being that good…look at Lame Kiffen! He is the only person to have FAILED his way to the top. USC fans still pissed off that Norm Chow would not go back to USC.

    Heading back to LA tomorrow. Got to get the house ready for all the house guests coming to see the game. If you are flying to LA…safe travels to all of you.

    Go WARRIORS!

    imagine if we could’ve gotten a game with UCLA this year. We both have bye weeks October 20th. Now that too would’ve made for an interesting return for Chow along with his battle vs USC.

    Let me not forget…..Shock Da World Warriors!

    Someone chime in if they know, but how in the hell did we get Lamar on our schedule? Is it getting that tough to get schools to play here that we have to settle for that? Or is it we just needed a better connected and stronger AD?

    Play by the Rules.

    Gooooooooooooooo Warriors!!!!!!!!!

    Thank you Coach Chow. I’ll do what I can for the team this year.


  151. BigHiloFan2 August 26, 2012 6:12 am

    paintslinger,

    we play USC Army BYU here next year. We play Wash, Ore St here 2014.

    Jim Donovan did good in those areas. my feeling, but i not positive, is we had alot of hakaka going on in 2011 at UH — trying to get into the MWC, the “heads” as in plural trying fo hog cheese the mike for claim credit for getting into the MWC, the “vibe” from the on high. maybe MRC had da mike, but dare was definitely a feeling of back boy action. peeps dat know brudda from back in da day remember his action and there is definitely a feeling that he like be boss. for me, i no care. if Coach Chow is happy, imma happy.

    we coulda gone Notre Dame this year for a 13th game, but we neva because all the ducks wasn’t lined up, if you rememba da paypah. and ifn you was a big school, why would you come Hawaii on last minute notice? for whats in it for you?

    in terms of coming Aloha Stadium, i say we give Norm Chow chance for do things his way, get people to come here. He got one most excellent staff. He getting most excellent recruits. And he no scared, not taking his Social Security and running to retirement. He is gonna drive Hawaii to either hell or high water. I’m jact. I’m liking it!

  155. Garret August 26, 2012 6:45 am

    d1shima,

    I can tell how the casinos that advertise heavily to Southern California visitors (which are more likely to include USC fans) have been getting more money bet on USC than some of the other casinos.

    The line at Southpoint and all of the Station Casinos is USC -41, but the line at the Stratosphere, MGM/Mirage, and Caesar’s/Harrahs is USC -40.


  156. Garret August 26, 2012 6:46 am

    The LA Times sure doesn’t think much of UH…and SoCal recruits and their families read papers like this.

    USC appears to have a schedule built for a title run.

    The Trojans open at home against overmatched Hawaii and then play Syracuse at a neutral site in New Jersey before a tough Pac-12 Conference opener at Stanford.

  157. Garret August 26, 2012 6:48 am

    Here is the LA Times report on USC’s Mock Game. USC wanted to duplicate the game-day experience so they actually had the team stay at a hotel on Friday night, just like the team stays at that hotel the night before each of their home games.

    Interesting tidbit about Matt Barkley:

    Barkley is the first three-time captain in USC history.

    As a Warrior Fan that hurt my fingers to type. But since its the first live game the Warriors will have a hard time playing with instinct and fast while adjusting to a new offense and defense schemes. But by the Nevada game it will be on and many Warrior wins. Go Warriors
