Onward

Our defense has to make stops and not let Utah State get moving down the field when they do go to no-huddle play.

Top Five!

Good Morning Tsai-kos!

Go road Warriors! Keep the focus!

I wonder why ESPN is taking so long to consider this matchup.

After Nevada lost to Hawaii, ESPN announced telecast of Nevada – Utah State next week

Barbara says Hi too!

Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂

One mo’ for Mo!

Happy Birthday Kinda Shy!

Danielle –

Kapiolani’s tuition is less expensive. And its a very nice little campus!

Morning, everybody!

Turning out to be a great week so far! Let’s keep it going!

Or… did Avis select Hiflyer?

Gratz, Avis!

Gratz, Hiflyer…just in case! I mean, Avis should win something sometime, right?

i like how da warriors are taking this game with usu very seriously. coach mc forget about the 2 pt discussion, on to usu and another great game for da warriors. GO WARRIORS!!!!!

ok, hear the calling of breakfast of champions, so see you all later.

Goood morning!

Congratulations to HiFlyer!

I’m conflicted…I’ll be out of town during the Boise game, so I really would like the game to remain on PPV so I can record it to view when I get back. If it’s on ESPN, I might be able to catch it while traveling, but then I might not.

K, better get in gear to go to practice… Esme & out…

It is nice that JD is supporting the Warrior team by sending them out one day earlier to Utah. Extra hotel nights and extra per diem money will cost UH quite a bit, but UH needs football success to get in a good position for its future.

I still remember how the men’s volleyball team took the red-eye flight and had to play a conference match the day they arrived…classic example of how saving money hurts a team’s performance.

Is UH advertising is homecoming game against Idaho yet? I haven’t seen or heard much about that, but I would have thought that UH could have sold a lot of tickets after the glow of the Nevada win.

Hauoli Lahanau to Kinda Shy

rage777 and Hank I too feel your frustration. I’ve been commenting about this ever since JJ was here. I’ve brought it up with JJ at luncheons. His response was that they were working on it but his mood suggested it wasn’t that of a priority. He had total confidence in the offense to comeback and erase any mistakes special teams or the defense made.

My thought was, special teams are employed at the most critical and most vulnerable moments of a game. Anything can happen. There’s just too many chances for things to go wrong. It’s like driving a car then suddenly telling an inexperienced passenger to hold the wheel while you climb in the backseat for a moment. Or suddenly handing the steering duties of a full blazing semi in bad weather over to a green driver for just a moment It may seem harmless or not that big of a deal but anything can happen.

To me, special teams should be treated as a weapon. It should be used to pin the opponent in a bad predicament, cause turnovers in our favor or full-blown all out score on every transition.

Every single day significant time should be invested into all aspects of special teams. Every player pulling SP duties should become experts and possess honed skills in the craft. We need to instill psychological doubt and fear in an opponent every time they’re forced to punt or kick the ball. When they’re worried about not screwing up, that’s when they’ll screw up. We need to be there making their misery happen for them.

GOOD MORNING HAWAII!

Best wishes KINDA SHY. Tell hubbie he’s doing great! Well, he married you for one thing!

Top Fifty – by golly!

CoolEthan:

Wondering who Asia Carrera is, I googled her. Now I know.

Now that everyone has put in their 2 cents about the 2 points, lets win in Utah!

Would like to see Mana and Jake making a good showing at MLB.

This was listed previously but I still like it.

Morning Tsaikos!

Garret #557 – it is impressive that 4 starting QBs come from one high school. I thought that 3 starters from St Louis a few years ago was unreal.

Top 50?

My concern with Utah State is the stated fact that they will go to the no-huddle to try to gain an advantage. LaTech tried it, and our defense answered. Only way to kill that is to kill the drive. And we gotta pay attention to that back sliding out into the flat.

Looking forward to a great game for our Warriors!

I agree with A-Joe that special teams can be a weapon. UH did lose several key games under JJ due to special teams (some nightmare plays against BSU come to mind right away). On the other hand, UH did have a lot of great returns from people like Chad Owens (ultimate special teams weapon) that won games for them. John Hardy-Tuilau seems like a weapon that can be built around on the FG block team.

However, the practice reports from SMU did say that from his very first practice JJ had them practicing special teams for 30+ minutes in every spring practice and most fall practices (JJ closed practices in the fall so I don’t know if they still do it), with Frank Ganz taking over practice each day for the first year and Dennis McKnight running it the past 2 years. I saw one interview where they talked about how they didn’t have as much talent as their opponents so they focused on special teams to win games for them.

Classic example of a special teams unit being a weapon:

This season, SMU opponents have attempted 10 FGs.

5 FGs were blocked.

3 FGs were missed.

2 FGs were made.

One of the blocked FGs was run back for a TD. So, SMU is *outscoring* their opponents when the opponents try a FG. This is after they have played 7 of their 12 games.

I’ve never seen a stat like that before in my life, and it has won numerous games for them. In one game this year they blocked 2 FGs this season in a game they won by 3. Last year they won at C-USA champion East Carolina by 7 after blocking 2 FGs and returning one of the blocked FGs for a TD.

UH has a weapon in Hardy-Tuliau, but I’ve read that he was told to not try to block FGs in practice anymore because it was bad for the morale of the FG team. Hardy-Tuliau’s FG block against Army might have been the difference in the game because Army would have tried to just run out the clock on their last drive…it is a shame if the FG block unit cannot hone themselves into a real weapon.

morning everybody,

first and formost hippo birdie two ewe Kinda Shy have a good one

congrats to sball wahine’s on their victory over the buccaneer’s

good hunting to the warrior’s and wahine’s traveling across the pond. safe journey and be successful

after listening to bc and his comments on the book “Death of the BCS” purchased on. very interesting and informative reading. recommend getting a copy. cartel very appropriate name for those who run the BCS.

Congrats, HiFlyer!!! Lucky you. Hope the shirt fits.

Any word on this?

NYUH- I still remember being educated as a kid with who Raquel Welch was. It was a great moment in being school’ed

Moniz is now 95 votes behind Mallet of Arkansas. Wondering if Mallet will still be Arkansas’ QB, after getting a concussion and being replaced by Tyler Wilson during their game against Auburn.

One thing I noticed about the voting this week… lots of the guys that were ahead of Moniz in votes last week, lost over the weekend, making it somewhat easier for Moniz to catch up.

Of course, it also helps that Moniz has been steadily gaining more and more votes daily, as we get closer and closer to the first round cutoff. Keep it up, Gang!

UH has a weapon in Hardy-Tuliau, but I’ve read that he was told to not try to block FGs in practice anymore because it was bad for the morale of the FG team

Wha…? Now das silly! I should think it would make the FG team better and boost the morale of the blocking team, which we need, too.

Aiyah!

To those of you who missed last nights opening of the fall schedule of the Na Wahine Softball season you missed two good games. The booster club held it’s first “Bobby Sox night” and it was a great success. The team “Hawaiian Delight” from Ewa Beach where the first to be invited, and they had an awesome time, it was fun to see these young girls getting into the games. They where only going to stay for the first game of the double header but after the first game they decided to stay for the second one also, after the game they got to meet and greet all the players, getting their autographs on their shirts and softballs that they brought. Coach Coolen expressed his thanks for them coming to the games and said that the girls(Na Wahine) told him they really enjoyed hearing them cheering for them.

We will be having teams coming from all over the islands to most of the games this season.

Also good to see fellow Tsaikos at the game, SailorBlue and Janice, Slugger, WassupDoc and Doc, Steve, papajoe2, anotherdave, myki & jerry, ralph, kazz and myself. So hope to see more of us at the next game on November 5th, when the team “Hiki No” will be there.

Rickerrs pitched one hit shut out in first game. Gonzo went 3 for 3 with 2 RBI, Aquirre and Zaomora homering in 10 – 0 win.

Kaia also picthed one hitter in UH winning 3 – 0 in 2nd game. Iwata 3 for 4 and Smith 2 for 2.

Hey gang- lets not forget our Civil Warrior responsibility: Vote fo Mo!

First break you get, log on and vote:

http://www.voteobrien.org/

Last check Mo is at 18 with 1822 votes and climbing. He’s closing in on Arkansas’s 1900.

Way to go, Soft Bows Boosters!

Good Morning Tsaiko Nation !

Rainy day here in LA as hopefully sunshine looms over the weekend.

BIG game vs. the Aggies of Utah State as the Warriors will need a

GREAT effort from every stage of the game to come out successful.

Won’t be an easy task as State is TOUGH at home and will be playing

in front of their racous crowds as I do believe it’s a home coming game.

Hawaii is doing well BUT needs to continue WINNING for any kind of

respect from the so call college pronosticators and future of their

existance in the WAC or Independent status that they may become.

Talk with “ALL TIME UH GREAT” Gary Allen yesterday as I will be visting

him up in Baldwin Park where he resides. Mr Allen is doing well and raising

his wonderful family with a BEAUTIFUL Hawaiian wife that I have met on

several occasions. Gary is a GREAT guy as I will bring the wealth of ALOHA

to him as dinner and drinks are on me and his ENTIRE family !

I feel it is a neccessity to reach out to our former Hawaii players, regardless

of their situation and share to them their GREATNESS that they have brought

to Hawaii as I have GIFTS to give to him and a GREAT joy of apprecation, story

and laughter to share with his entire OHANA !

IF any of you LOYAL fans will want to leave a post of acknowledgement to him

PLEASE do as I will share your comments to him.

Take care Warrior Nation as I continue to take care of past Rainbow Warriors

with HONOR and RESPECT !

ALOHA !

Garret #50,

If the UH coaches are telling JHT to not go all out, that is a huge mistake. If they are having their feelings butt hurt, then the FG team should start improving.

Special teams have always had a huge impact on the game. Fresno State is a good example of special teams winning ball games for them. FSU hasn’t really had a really good offense or defense, but they still win games because of their special teams. Just like when we had Jason Elam to kick our FGs, or Harding to block field goals, or Owens to return for a TD, it makes a huge difference.

I hope the game is on ESPNU so I can actually watch and Tivo it. I love Tivo’ing the Wahine volleyball games.

Danielle,

You should take one class at UH for the first semester to get your credits transferred to the UH system and take the rest of the classes at KCC. Never had classes at KCC, but I took classes at Windward, Leeward, and Honolulu Community College and I like the professors at the CCs better than the UH professors. I learned way more in community college than at UH.

Pomai what happened to Jenna?

Good morning everyone!

It’s the attitude not the altitude in Logan, Utah! Go Warriors!

Voted 4 times fo Mo! Now at 1828 and rising!

Red Zone I don’t know, the only one I know of that is out due to injury is Jasper with a broken arm. Will try and find out if something is up. Maybe Kazz has some info? Kelly is ok after having a bad swing that looked like she may have tweaked something, but I think they took her out to be sure.

The Warriors enter the 2010 season with a pair of first-year coordinators. Offensive coordinator Nick Rolovich (31) and defensive coordinator Dave Aranda (33) are among the youngest in the country. And Through the first six games of the season, UH has produced 35 plays of 25-yards or more of which slot receiver Greg Salas has been involved in a team-leading 10 of those. Slot receiver Kealoha Pilares has been a part of seven big plays this season, five of which resulted in touchdowns of 56, 65, 30, 48, and 66. He also had an 80-yard non-scoring reception from Moniz against Colorado. On the flip side, UH surrendered 25 big plays of 25 or more yards, six of which resulted in touchdowns.

Pomai – anything on Kelly Majam?

just in case you missed it.. last Sunday’s Coach Mack Show is up..

http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/Global/story.asp?S=13354308

re: the Davey O’Brien Award,

Just as I predicted to some friends, Cam Newton would overtake Kellen Moore & the other front-runners. I don’t see anyone overtaking him with the daily amount o votes he’s been getting. It would be nice to see Bryant crack the Top Ten though, woudn’t it?

Danielle:

KCC is a very beautiful campus nestled at the north base of Diamond Head.

Casual campus life.

I believe all 100 and higher classes are transferable to UH-Manoa. And, best of all, tuition is very, very reasonable.

Best wishes on your final decision.

Gary Allen…

Awesome player. He has the moves. Good to hear that he’s doing well.

Just read DR’s article on Coach Arnold and our BBall team.

Can’t wait to see them on the court, and as they develop during this first season!

And…

a Happy belated (42nd) birthday (yesterday) to Coach Arnold! Man, even the coaches are getting younger and younger than me!

GO WARRIORS! BEAT USU!

BIK

It’s Kinda Shy’s birthday. A special lady married to a special guy. She kinda-hosted one of the earlier Cattle Calls in May 2007, where I first met her. Also saw someone else for the first time there…he sat next to Tom Mui and I thought he came with him. Later when I asked Tom who he was, he shrugged.

That mysterious person came to next Makino Chaya Cattle Call though… A-House. 🙂

Happy Birthday Kinda Shy… and Gib Arnold…

Special teams notso special and RED ZONE offense never improved yet better shape up or the team might come back 5-3. But I hope not.

RE: Wahine Softball Exhibition DH vs Christian Brothers University

-Jori Jasper suffered a broken arm on the practice scrimmage on 10/15/2010. She has a hard cast not really sure how long she will be out. Time appears to be on her side as she has all of fall as softball is a spring sport. Again, just my assumption. That appears to put a wrinkle in the competition for 1st base. With Jori out for the time being, looks like it could be between Makani Duhaylonsod-Kaleimamahu and Sarah Robinson. Both are juniors.

-Kelly Majam did fall a little awkwardly in the second game off a big swing. She got up and tried again but Coach Coolen appeared to pull her out just in case. Coach Coolen has said on the radio yesterday that they are “reeling her in” as to really maintain her energy level due to the lack of natural thyroid enzymes. Last night’s thing was no big deal. People need to remember that she also will have to undergo radiation treatment in December during winter break and the season starts in February. Obviously some questions remain after that as far as how she will react to it in terms of playing softball. What happens happens. Main thing is her overall health.

-Overall attendance floated anywhere between 195-180. Good turn out from the visiting Christian Brothers University team. Coach Coolen said they approached him about playing as they apparently will also be playing their fellow D2 softball members HPU.

-Freshman newcomer Jazmine Zamora had some good at bats and stood out the most of all the signees. I missed watched Kliebenstien catch. Saw Jocelyn Enrique and transfer Ashley Smith share duties behind the plate though.

-Jenna Rodriguez did not play. She was there with her jersey but not completely suited up to play.

Overall it was exactly what I expected for an exhibition game. Lots of subbing in and out between positions, but not so much at 3rd base as Melissa Gonzalez pretty much played a lot in both games with freshman Gerika Pantohan playing about 2 innings in her place for the end of the second game.

Like Pomai said, the “Hawaiian Delight” team had fun and provided a lot of noise and enthusiasm for the Wahine. Traci Yoshikawa, Kanani Pu’u-Warren, Tanisha Milca and Amanda Taualii we also in attendance. Looks like Taualii will serve as a student assistant/team manager this season along with Milca again. Alumnae Kate Robinson was also in the press box.

Some football players stopped in. Lewis Walker and Alex Green were some guys I recognized right away and also saw bball player Douglas Kurtz.

Lots of “regulars” in attendance also.

Oh wait! Maybe it wasn’t the head coach.. maybe it was the AD?

😉

Hawaii 29

USU. 19

Imua Warriors

North Texas just fired Todd Dodge, their head football coach:

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=ap-northtexas-dodgefired

CRW,

Hopefully, they don’t look in this direction for a replacement…

Late observation/comment:

Special teams play, kick-off, seemed to work well in the 1st half as they were able to corral the ball carrier. 1st UH player kept missing the ball carrier and wanted to see him “sweep” him with a good ankle tackle.

The swing passes out to the flat was also working in the 1st half, but abandoned in the 2nd half. Accounted for a lot of passing yards.

Reasons for not continuing both in the 2nd half?

Nevada surely used the swing pass well for their last 2 TDs – made UH defense look bad!!

Will Rolo use the 5-wideout formation and more swing passes at USU?

Thanks for the Soft Bows report, Kazz! Looking forward to the J.T. Ka’umanua posts too!

Yup. Cannot take Utah St. For granted at all. Altitude and no-huddle offense seemed to neutralize us when it counted in Boulder.

But I BELIEVE the Warriors will come home with the W.

Book ’em Bows! Hahahaha…

No huddle offense:

Is it a tough one for defensive coaches to get players ready and send in ASAP when the previous play ends? Have a “package” ready based on the success/failure of the offense – ie, nickle package if 3rd and long. Maybe, watch the first 10 plays or less to make a judgement on how the USU OC will be calling plays; you know, get their MO!

Of course, defenders on the field must also know that replacements are coming in.

It is a bummer that Geordon Hanohano is not on the travel squad. He was an immovable object against Nevada.

Happy birthday, Kinda Shy!

So that’s why I saw Steve Christian kneeling on the sidelines….

Hope everyone gets better healthwise and whatever else needs to be taken care of.

Met TJ Taimatuia today. Gonna be a beeg D lineman. He’s medically redshirting this year.

Top 130!

Congratulations HiFlyer!

Hope the roster additions contribute to a “W”; healing thoughts for Geordon H.

CoolEthan,

You should come by the next KKall. You’d be surprised to find out who some of the Tsaikos know in the Beehive State.

Obfuscate! Matriculate! Don’t be late!

Hanohano got all banged up in the Nevada game? Nothing serious I hope! Who goin take his place?

Congrats HiFlyer.

When in the game did Hanohano and Lyles get hurt?

D1

What position does he play and number is he??

Eschew Obfuscation

mih,

Left Out.

gigi sorry not going to happen, kazz already has a writing job with the noline newsletter of the Na Wahine Softball Booster Club, eh no start trouble……. BTW have you joined yet?

Noline — is that Lurline’s sister?

It is a specatuclar afternoon!!!

Hope it is for you where ever you are!

Go Mo!!!

U.H. Mo,

A real Warrior hero.

Is it Gib Arnold’s birthday, too? Happy birthday, Coach, if it’s your b-day!

Happy birthday to the Gibber!

Whenever it is.

Whoo-hoo!!!

Rainbow Cliff….

Man, I envy you. You get to set hang with one of Hawaii greatest RB’s EVER!

Ask any hardcore Rainbow/Warrior fan who were the best RB’s of all time and I garauntee you G. Allen will always be 1 or 2. My top five: Gary Allen, Junior Lopatit, Nate Illaoa, Travis Simms/Nu’u Fa’aola, Heikoti Fakava. David Tolo’umu us surely worthy of mention too!

BIK

Slugger, in DR’s article, he said Coach Arnold’s birfday was yesterday, spent running practice.

Only 42 years old… young buggah!

Moniz is at 1899… seven votes back of da next guy!

Right on, popcorn! You guys and girls doing it! Keep it going!

MIH.. is that the one where they said somebody may be a party crasher? Too bad they didn’t actually say stuff during the taping of that piece.

Moniz is now at 1900!!!

Go, gang, go!!!

Moniz got almost 200 votes in the past ten hours! Really a great pace, people!

I’ve been posting the “Vote for Moniz” link on my Facebook too. And, I’ve actually gotten a couple of old Army buddies to vote for him too! Hahahaha! One lives in Georgia, the other in Florida!

Konagirl #155:

Thanks! Nevada did charter a flight to fly them non-stop from Reno to HNL, but it looks like it made a stop in San Francisco, hence the “delay”, per this flight track:

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/SCX8731/history/20101015/1945Z/KSFO/PHNL

any update with Colt & the Raiders?

How about we stop entertaining this travel argument for Nevada. They came from Nevada, not New York. Fricken pitiful that these types of excuses are flying around. Over the last 72 hours, my opinion of the Nevada program has done a 180. I was actually giving them props and thought they were a real contender to Boise this year. Now all they are doing is crying, especially the QB. Screw Nevada, for making me feel like a sucker. Take your loss and man up. YOU LOST!!!!

Like someone mentioned earlier, noone ever gives Hawaii the travel excuse when they lose.

sorry for the double post. angry finger.

hanohano’s loss is a big one. he has been playing well lately and has also one of the emotional leaders.

pepa’s loss saturday was tampered by lacount’s ability to play well.

gdl’s speed was missed out there, too.

steve christian’s role has been on special teams i believe and shall also be missed.

hopefully, pepa and gdl will be game ready.

hopefully, someone like masch or hafoka will have their best games ever.

kev-1

http://www.footballnewsnow.com/2010/injuries-could-lead-to-colt-brennans-return-to-raiders/

iI agree with al. Geordon was a pohaku inside. I hope it is not too bad of an injury. Is Purcell okay? I think he had a stinger. I thought that LaCount did a really good job. Good to have depth on the oline.

Thanks Kazz for the excellent writeup.

chopsueyboy . . . thanks for the link. Looks like pure speculation, though. I was so angry with the Raiders for how they treated Colt, I’m not sure how I would feel about him going back to the Raiders. A job is a job I guess. But I can’t help but want him to have an honest shot at showing what he can do.

I know he bought a one way ticket to Hawaii and was just planning on waiting for a call, but I hope he hasn’t given up hope. I think he should take a little time to spend time with that hot girl he was with on the sidelines (WOW . . . no disrespect to any females reading, but she was puuuurrrrty) then return to Arizona to train like he has been. It will show teams that he is committed to working on his skills.

I wish someone would do an extensive interview with him, like a “Sit Down With Colt” column or something so his fans can get a better idea of his mindset and maybe some hints of things that have been going on behind the scenes that we may not know about. Maybe there are other teams that have shown some interest or something.

ST . . . I hear you have a good relationship with Colt. Maybe your the man for the job?

Ipu Man . . . Hanks hot dogs is good if you like “different” kind. Take plenty money though, its expensive. And if your anything like me, you might need to buy a couple. I think everyone nowadays is grinding Costco hot dogs. Cheap and big.

I remember boys diving off the Kalakaua bridge

for coins tossed by the tourists…Those were the dayz…

kev-1, thanks but where is “Hanks”?

Kapahulu?

Ipu man,

You can try this one… i think it’s the same as the one that’s in Maui..

http://www.pukadog.com/

and this one

http://www.yelp.com/biz/hanks-haute-dogs-honolulu

Ipu Man . . . There is one on Coral St. in Kakaako and there is another in the International Market Place on Kalakaua (never been to that one though).

http://www.hankshautedogs.com/

Its worth checking out. Interesting hot dogs. And his creations do taste really good.

Derek . . . sounds to me like Colt’s agent needs to get on the phone. Maybe Colt should hire JJ’s agent or TO’s agent.

mmmm…thanks guys, but $6 and $9 for a hot dog

is a bit too pricey for me—tho they sure sound scrumptious.

Ok, you UH unemployed graduates—wanna make money?

Open up a fast food hot dog/hamburger joint with flair

but won’t cost the customer an arm and a leg…

btw, how was the new hamburger place

in Moilili across from the park?

I’ll just take a couple of Redondo’s red hot dogs, over easy eggs, and steaming white rice. Aloha shoyu of course.

Homey’s home cooking hot dogs…

sounds kinda nice. But gotta have bread.

In Japan, they deep fry the rice and put it into sandwiches…

Yeah, the hot dog is not a local thing.

The Travel channel mentioned it started in

Chicago nearby the slaughter houses.

In Hawaii, Nathan’s hot dogs are in Ala Moana

food court, but nobody buys them and they

look like they been cooking several days before

being replaced…

I would LOVE To see Colt Play in the NFL the Raiders not so much but if he can go there an start helping them WIN then he’d be getting more publicity. Colt hasnt been given a fair chance with his 2 injuries an then he finally gets healthy he gets released. But you know what thats all excuses which I’m not trying to do. I just wanna see a Hawaii player succeed in the NFL espically Colt with how he was labeled if he does good that automatically rises the stock of the Hawaii QB’s an that could be used in recruiting advantage. So GO COLT as the saying goes “ONCE A WARRIOR, ALWAYS A WARRIOR” I Believe

For lunch, I had sushi and cone sushi with cold soba noodles…

Hope Colt makes it somewhere. Which team needs

a quarterback the most? Fortyeighters…

Committed Road Warrior….MAHALO…love that site, especially since the article from post #107 whines about them arriving at 4 AM…when in reality it was 4 PM…AND that the delay was only 2 hours, NOT 9 hours…thanks for the evidence!!! 🙂

Here’s what the article says:

The team flew from Reno to a West Coast departure city for the Hawaii-bound flight. Unfortunately, there was a nine-hour delay. They did not land in Honolulu until 4 am Saturday morning. They didn’t get to the hotel until sometime after that, and it was probably closer to 5 or 6

Thanks Chop Suey Boy, I just googled Petals and Beans

and see that you are conveniently located in the Ward

Shopping Center someplace. Is that in the same building

as the bookstore?

Bryant Moniz is #17, with 1924 votes.

. . next guy at #16 has. 2075 votes.

. . next guy at #15 has. 2131 votes

Bryant can easily pass both guys. Let’s do it.

http://www.voteobrien.org/round1.asp

Ipu Man

we’re actually across the street diamond head of the old IBM building.

We share the parking lot with PF Chang and Tango and we offer free

validation good for 2.5 hours

Moniz Record to date:

Season Pass PaYd PaTD Int RuAtt RuYd RuTD Pts

2008 0-0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.00

2009 180-318 2360 14 10 56 143 1 178.70

2010 186-283 2532 21 4 40 69 1 232.18

Thru 7 games and 7 more to go could end up with 5,060 Passing yards with 42 TD.

Maybe even additional yardage and touchdown the way Moniz is playing now.

Also notice that he is running less; meaning there is marked improvement in pass protection and less of a pass breakdown.

Way to Go Warriors up front and to Coach Shaw who don’t get enough credit for Moniz Pass Protection. It is a sign of great protection and more time to pass to see though the progressions to see the coverage from Saleas to Pilares to Pollard to Green and finally Bradley. phew! No wonder Warriors are leading in many pass statistics.

But also deadly is Moniz scambling ability as we saw in Nevada pass to Sales.

With is scambling ability he can re-do the progressins again which becomes even more dangerous.

AL: #217 – you should try Haut Dog on Coral Street. He uses hot dogs from Chicago – good stuff.

POOMAI can you put my score for the game at

Hawaii v USU

31 – 17

Sorry I know it looks low, but I was looking at weather conditions and other factors for this weeks game. Mahalo for including me. Aloha to everyone.

Bleacher report has Boise State at #1 for week 8 by writer Tyler Stimson who votes in ESPNU Top 25 Poll.

And he aslo states that Boise State beat Oregon twice in 2008 and 2009 and basically, they still have the same coach and same players.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/493234-college-football-top-25-week-eight-ohio-state-and-nebraska-fall-boise-new-1

Sorry – when I posted #228, I was (like all pakes) reading backwards from #227 towards the middle – didn’t know Hank’s hautdogs were being discussed.

We usually buy the Kosher hotdogs (Hebrew National) from Costco and occasionally the Oscar Meyer 100% beef ones from Safeway.

Forgot the name but in Manoa Marketplace, there is a sandwich shop that sells Nathan’s hotdog – they grill them but for some reason, they don’t taste the same as the ones I used to get in NYC – maybe in NYC they really grill them!

There is a place in NJ which got featured in one of those food programs I see on channel 325 on best hotdog joints in America. They deep-fry them. Went there, tried it, not bad but maybe not worth a special trip!

Konagirl #218:

No prob! Even the sideline reporter for the WAC Sports Network said that the Nevada team didn’t arrive until 4pm Friday afternoon, so the guy’s story from that site is bunk any way you put. And for good measure, Nevada spent only one night on island…they left immediately after the game on a non-stop flight back to Reno, per this flight track:

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/SCX8732/history/20101017/0830Z/PHNL/KRNO

So it’s not IBM anymore? Did not know that.

Sorry to hear about Hanohano not being on the travel roster, he had two good games in a row… but we’ll need him down the home stretch, for sure. Heal up Geordon, Warriors need you 100% healthy!

Had to catch an early flight to Kona for work. Saw Stretch running through the airport to catch his plane.

Anyway, on my return to HNL I’m walking through the terminal and I see a bunch of guys flashing green (mostly) “H” logo shirts. I look more closely and I realize “It’s them! It’s the TEAM!” And so it was.

The guys looked good, focused, very business-like. That’s one thing for which Mack and staff haven’t been given enough credit by some. Mack has clearly made it a policy to recruit solid citizens and solid students. Character counts and that’s why Mack’s teams always show marked improvement over the course of a season.

I was also glad to see that a number of the airport workers called out encouragement as the guys walked by, all of whom responded well. A number of people also asked to take photos with Mo. A sign of things to come, I bet.

It looks like the Pac-12 expects to go from $5.3 million per team in TV money to double or triple the money. This is going to make it harder for the rest of the schools in the US to compete with them.

The Pac-12 will begin negotiations shortly on new TV contracts, and expectations are they will amount to between $10.8 million to $14.1 million per school per year. The league’s current combined annual football and basketball TV revenues total only about $53 million.

The Pac-12 apparently is directing its schools to schedule all conference games for the first 3 weeks of the season. That means no late-season games against Pac-12 teams.

The weather tonight in Logan utah is predicted to be 32 degrees.

Got Jacket UH?

Snow is more fun to play in than rain…

btw ST, is Logan field natural grass (and mud)?

the guy who postponed his visit was damiene cain a high schooler out of cal.

the guy who verballed yesterday to utah state was deshawn stephens a jc’er who was here fri/sat on a visit.

the guy who was tripping last weekend with stephens is ronnie stevens who hasn’t verballed yet.

Yeh, but the game is being played at like 2:00pm MST? Should be nice and pleasant. 60’s.

BIK

Alright Solly!

ST- remember to pack your meds. Do you have a GPS yet? Layering is good…

Ear warmers and gloves too.

In the summer of 2004, after 36 seasons,

the bent bluegrass field was replaced

with a state-of-the-art synthetic turf

by SprinTurf, similar to FieldTurf.

Yes the game will be played in the late

afternoon…but you still have to be warm

before and after. And rain is forecasted, too…

“Perhaps the best way to neutralize an opposing offense is keeping it off the field. That’s where the Aggies’ running game comes in. Andersen said the more his team chews up the clock and the more it finds success on the ground, the more it limits the chances for Hawaii to run up the score.”

Let mee introduce you to my leetle Dee Line… 😈

BIK, bet some Aggie fans will be shirtless…

Warrior Mojo ~ So the the team caught you Underwears huh?! You would normally have your camera handy I know.

I miss sitting in your section this year. Ticket mix up by no-Aloha ticket office. Maybe next year I can move back.

This is undoubtedly a blog worth pursuing. Youve received an incredible deal to say relating to this subject, and so much understanding. I imagine that you know how to make individuals listen to what you must say, specifically with an concern thats so critical. Im pleased to learn this weblog. Two huge thumbs up, man!

I was wondering… does anyone have stats on where we were when we scored td’s in the past 7 games?

How many inside the 10? 15? 20? 25 and beyond?

Puka Dogs originated on Kauai. Still here in Poipu Shopping Village..

808ike The PUNTER??? HAHAHA thats crazy…

Read an article in which a college coach did something cold-blooded to a student athlete.

John Cook, volleyball head coach with the Univ. of Nebraska, offered a scholarship to a high school student athlete this past spring. 3 weeks before early signing period, he calls the student athlete and rescinds the scholarship offer. He has done this in the past a few times. Student athlete is a model citizen and has never been in trouble. Talk about cold-blooded.

808ike,

Two sides to the story?

Oh wait… sorry.. There are THREE sides to ALL stories. Side A, Side B, and the truth.

Hmmm….

expat:

If a chartered flight, why stop in SF? The 4:39 inlcudes the down time at SF?

Does anyone happen to have video of when the WAC stabbers entered the stadium last Saturday? I would love to see what kind of welcome they got. 😈

and only 200 behind dat Fresneck QB

Mrs A-House

Their return flight was direct and was, evidently, very quick. Their flight to HNL made the stop in SFO.

SFO, incidentally, is the closest major mainland airport to HNL.

Think is to create:

Ault has such a negative mentality coming to play in Hawaii. With that mind frame it has become impossible for him to win here. His subliminal intentions are transferred to his coaches and players.

All the non BCS schools will be the wannabes and will look for their interest first rather than the conference there in. A BCS school will be quite satisfied but they’ll be a school with super ego leaders looking for more. Is it greed taking hold of college sports?

300

is mo the son of momo?

Expat:

Post #288 was Mr. A-House’s post, not from Mrs. A-House. Sorry about that…

Hoping your special day has been REALLY SPECIAL, “Kinda Shy”

#38 A-joe…i couldn’t agree with you more.

Furthermore, with a guy as explosive off the ball as Tuliau, one would have to consider drawing up schemes to put him in positions to block kicks, rather than “hold him back”.

all the earlier talk about hot dogs at Costco made me hungry for hot dogs.

disappointed at Iwilei Costco, food service under renovation till Nov 7

Here’s a clip from former Hawaii recruit Jesse Williams, who is doing well at Arizona Western. Supposedly, he has already verballed to Alabama.

http://bit.ly/bOKvSf

Jesse, Alabama is very, very, far away from Austrailia mate.

Jesse will be an outstanding division one player if he can get is pad-level down. Stands up immediately on every play. That’s not going to work as he starts playing against better talent.

Wow – posting with Pride! 😀

Anytime you get to do anything with Pride – you’re doing it right! 🙂

Brew, do you add 10 yards or 17 yards? Ten for the distance from the goal to the endline, and seven for the standard distance that the kick is placed form the line of scrimmage. So a 18 yard kick would be from the 1 yard line. A 40 yard kick would be from the 23 yard line. Just wondering.

By the way howzit Brew, longtime no see.

My goodness Kinda Shy, has another *twenty something* milestone passed you by?

I’m thinking JD took you out for some Aku Palu, ka uki uki, vana, lomi o’io, raw crab and Hanalei poi, just for starters. A nice baked Opakapaka with hot sesame oil and soy sauce drizzled over all would make a fantastic main dish…Mmm…Mmmm…Mmmm!

Happy Birthday indeed!

Hi-flyer ~ Evertime you win something, my name comes up next. This time I’m gonna do like MW and buy a power ball ticket.

Happy Birthday Kinda Shy.

Hi Pride.

Hi Brewski!

A-House

You mentioned how effectively Nevada ran their swing passes. They did guess well when we would be blitzing. However, in the first td by Taua and an identical play for a significant gain that set up the last td, the cornerback (Bryant) was in position to make the tackle and both times he was blocked from the side by the O-tackle (I think) who didn’t come close to getting his head in front. Both times the official was right there in position but didn’t see it for some reason. The stadium replay showed it plainly, but the ESPN feed only showed the aftermath of the block.

Me too, Pride.

Why? Because the is no rhyme, reason or technical formula that governs a game. In the heat of battle, everything turns into a beautiful dance and the team becomes an organic unit with an ethereal connection… Enabed by Believe and Powered by Love.

Costco food court closed??? That reminds me of that scene from National Lampoon’s Vacation when they travel all those miles to get to Wally World only to find it closed for the season. Luckily, you didn’t hijack any Costco workers to get back there and make you one %^%^% hotdog!

It’s eerily funny how Moniz’s climb up the O’brian ladder reflects his life of football.

Off Topic: While watching the news I noticed more and more political commercials about how bad their opponents are. This just proves to me that both of the candidates shouldn’t represent us in Congress. Even the governor’s political campaign is what each candidate negatively did or didn’t do or said. How about telling us voters how you guys going fix whatever ails us. Like the sewer fee tripling in the next 5 years. What going happen when I cannot afford to pay that? If I could afford $400/500 dollars more, I would own a new car already.

Can someone go blind if they keep rolling their eyes?

If so. I should log off now and go to sleep.

#290 ~ Ronnie,

I don’t have a video of that, but they were booed. I’ll check the video of the haka to see if Reno came in during the haka.

#340 Slugger

Slugger,

The Warriors ran onto the field first. Just as the Warriors were half way done, Nevada came running on too, led by their early arriving cheerleaders.

Warriors didn’t do the haka until the end of the game. However, I did miss the warmup time. I arrived at the stadium about the time they were starting to honor the military before the game, so it’s possible that I didn’t see the Warriors do the haka BEFORE the game.

Sorry for the formatting. Nitey Nite!

wmojo…how about you link your blog site to your name? i forgot the address.

not a football comment…

if you didn’t catch the leahey n leahey show tonight you missed out on the joston thomas appearance. now, he is the type of player that you want representing the university and our state.

not only did he say all the right things, but, he did so with much sincerety.

replay is on sunday night.

Guuuud night all!

I am just curious what will be next. Usually people think only about themselves but this could really change because we have such people who partake their knowledge and information – thank you!

#321 Pride, Big difference from the first game ya. I’M glad they are improving. The first few games the Dline looked like they were dancing the waltz with the O line. Now, they are penetrating and plugging holes and tackling too. I hope the 49ers pick that up too. LEVERAGE!!

papajoe2. It might have been the preseason camp that had no scrimmages and very little hitting. The beginning of the season was like scrimmages and pre-season games all wrapped up in three real games. By the third game, the team was ready to play. Just speculating of course. Could also be that the defense was still functioning in the consciously-incompetent quadrant. They then moved to the consciously-competent quadrant. Maybe right now they will be moving from the consciously-competent quadrant to the unconsciously-competent quadrant.

we lost one stephens but we could land a stevens as in ronnie. (mbb)

and great job for da man Mo. keepa going, gang.

I’m campaigning to all Warrior fans that will be attending the Boise game.

Support local business in Boise by purchasing a noise maker for the game.

# 1 – Cowbell with drumstick

# 2 – Duckcall

# 3- Both # 1 an # 2

Make yourself sound like 10 fans. It’s all legal at Bronco stadium.

Boo Phil Steele.

Rasberry award.

He is predicting Utah st. to upset Hawaii.

But he also did the same with Fresno and Nevada over the Warriors.

He has a great job. Can be a failure all he wants, but still keeps on working.

I agree with your thoughts here and I really love your blog! I’ve bookmarked it so that I can come back & read more in the future.

Moniz is at 2455.

Next QB above him is at 2494.

Get him!!!!! Ahhhhhhh!!!

(Sorry, was having flashbacks of running down on kickoff and punt coverage!)

just voted Moniz #12 @ 2458, Mack #35 @ 218

The defense industry just got a huge boost that will affect several companies in Hawaii somewhat. The US has agreed to sell Saudi Arabia *$60 billion* of arms, the most lucrative arms deal in US history! The sales to Saudi Arabia could support *75,000* jobs in the US:

http://homelandsecuritynewswire.com/us-sell-saudis-60-billion-arms

Oregon’s economy just got a huge boost also–this will have direct impact on both Oregon and Oregon State since their faculty and students will benefit from this significantly. Intel is spending up to *$8 billion* to modernize its factories, creating up to 8,000 temporary construction jobs and up to 1,000 permanent jobs in Oregon when the factory opens in 2013:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101019/ap_on_hi_te/us_tec_intel_manufacturing

garret, somehow this job creation stories has the appearances of political overtones, but i guess when you are down, you got to do things.

funny how human rights group complain about can(e)ing in Singapore, but don’t say a damn word when innocent people lose their lives to terrorist like the recent bus bombing in the philippines.

Good morning whitey. The US economy will benefit significantly by the $60 billion in foreign arm sales…75,000 high-paying jobs for sales overseas will have a major impact.

I’m also glad that Intel is building its $8 billion factory in the US…1,000 permanent high-paying jobs will be a significantly boost to Oregon’s economy and the 8,000 jobs to build the factory will put a lot of people to work now when job creating is needed. If that factory was in Hawaii the economic impact would be unbelievable, changing the economy around literally overnight…but Intel has an amazing setup in Oregon.

d1, sorry, wrong words, are you awake????? hahahahhaaaaa

Been thinking about all the new rule changes in the nfl, and was wondering if rugby is as violent as football? I have never really seen a rugby game that why I’m asking. But if it is do they have as many injuries as football?

ok, back to fb. hope da warriors had no problems with their flight. am assuming they left on hawaiian in the pm, arrived in vegas around midnight, and will have a late practice today. sounds like the team is very, very serious about playing and with their new level of play, it should be a fun game for them.

pomai, i think if you take away the helmet and shoulder pads, the nfl would be a very different game, but become very similar to rugby in contact. Can you see football players without helmet and shoulder pads???? I remeber growing up and playing tackle football at the park with no protection and of course, no shoes. hadashi. no one ever had major injuries, mostly bruised pride.

the d line will truly miss g hanohano, but his subs will be more than ready. like a tsaiko mentioned before, hanohano in the last game was a pohaku. told my friend that this guy is starting to play like many expected when he came to uh. taken a while, but he is a warrior!!!!!

Garret,

That certainly is terrific news for folks in the Hillsboro area. Although the article doesn’t actually say where the new factory will be, I guess it makes sense that it would be close to the other two. Real nice area; close to Pacific U. in Forest Grove.

and a ho hi to you, d1.

Wow… laulau! Moniz is now #11!!!

Whooootaaahhhhh!!!

#290 Ronnie ~

Those sly WAC Stabers came out of the tunnel just as the Warriors were heavy into the 5-0 song. I hate wen any team takes advantage of our band’s rousing rendition of that theme song.

Thank goodness for the people in Warrior Mojo’s section. They gave them a very loud chorus of boo’s as soon as they appeared! Meanwhile the rest of the stadium roared as our guys burst out of the fog.

I sit on the concourse just above the tunnel, and it

gets really LOUD as they stream out on to the field.

This is the bonus attending the game brings. There is NO way of describing the heart pounding pride that wells up as you get caught up in the full-on experience of being in the middle of total

chaos!

To have the Coltster at the entrance of the tunnel was indeed a high blood pressure moment. With a mic in hand, he pumped the team and the crowd, as they came roaring out. led by Mo carrying the Hawaiian flag, it’s a pure chicken skin moment.

Michigan Warrior,

Thanks for all the stats..

On Oct 5th, Moniz was #50.

Good job everyone! … still got three more days of voting for Round 1

MIH… I had time. After dropping off my younger school kids, my two youngest ones were still sleeping. Gave me time to look over some stats. I was interested in our Red Zone efficiency too. NCAA stats show two extra trips into the red zone. Must’ve been against Charleston Southern, and we must’ve turned the ball over, because the ESPN stats (when D-IA plays against D-IAA) doesn’t go into the extra detail.

MW any stats on inside the Red Zone when we didn’t score a touchdown? I know we kicked a lot of field goals, but I’m also interested in when we just couldn’t score. I know USC and Colorado prevented us from scoring at times from very close.

MW, Anyway, thanks for the scoring stats. Must have took a lot of time.

Just voted 4 times. Moniz is now at #11 with 2578 votes. Next up is Locker from Washington.

We were still in the Red Zone and settled for a FG, instead of trying for a TD, with time running out. It is what it is. If wee squander opportunities due to poor time management, or wasting time outs, that’s our problem. We still didn’t go for a TD, and opted for a FG.

TRUE STORY: A long tome ago when I was coaching soccer, we had tryouts for an advanced team. Prior to the tryouts, I was watching most of the boys that would be trying out, playing in a game. One guy got hit solidly on the side of his head. He complained of double vision, but refused to see a doctor. During the tryouts, he asked me to play. Being a coach, I know its better to error on the safe side and refused to put him in. The kid kept bugging me. I explained to him that he could have a detached retina. which could lead to blindness. He didn’t care and still insisted on playing. I had to explain to him that if it is a detached retina, he would need an operation to correct it and could even leave him blind. He still wanted to play. Then I told him that if he had an operation, to reach his retina, the doctors would have to go through his ass. Never heard a peep out of him the rest of the day.

According to the NCAA’s official stats, we had 33 Red Zone Opportunities.

We scored 27 times… 6 Rush, 11 Pass, 10 FG’s.

That means we failed to do anything on 6 other opportunities…

1) I know we fumbled the first time down at Colorado.

2) We then missed a FG the next time down.

3) We had a fumble against LaTech.

4) We missed a FG against Fresno State.

5) We missed a FG against Reno.

6) Since one of our trips into the Red Zone is missing, I’m guessing it was a turnover against Charleston Southern.

http://www.ncaa.com/sports/m-footbl/stats/ncaa-m-footbl-stats-index.html

My #426 is just a reflexion about the TCU coach yelling at the trainer for not letting one of his players go back in the game after the player suffered a concussion.

out = our

He may be out…when was he travelling?

Sorry… My #428 above is wrong. We didn’t miss any Red Zone FG’s against Fresno. The one we missed was from the Fresno30.

So, I was right the first time in guessing that we had two missed opportunities against Charleston Southern. Those just aren’t detailed in ESPN’s Summary. But, we definitely struggled with scoring in the 3rd quarter of that game. We only had one TD in the third quarter of that game, and one TD and one FG in the fourth quarter. We also had 3INT’s and 1 fumble.

Been reading some articles of newspapers in Utah this morning….most indicate that Utah State’s best defense is to keep their offense on the field to eat up time; doing so with their running game……so I guess same approach this week like last week…shut down their qb/rb’s and the machine stops. Heads up everybody, no distractions.

Keeping my fingers crossed for better perfomance by UH in the red zone and improvement in special teams play.

Sorry about my miss spelling on reflection in my #430. Trying to get fancy and being “cool” but my proof reading, I didn’t feel that way.

I forgot to mention…….where is the Tsai-master??????…did he get shanghi’d o-what??

MW…

According to those stats, Hawaii would be better off going for the big one from outside of the Red zone when playing Idaho #21, SJSU #21, and Boise #8.

First.

Good morning peeps.

http://thegardenisland.com/sports/article_9840f08e-dce4-11df-96f4-001cc4c03286.html

Yea to The Garden Island for a great Wahine Softball article!

morning all, started kinda wet one but da sun 8) wen puka thru so drying up now. black tick looking clouds ova koolau’s might bring moa wata lattas.

going without the morning brew to see how it works

plenty peeps working hard cause see mo is now in top 15 or so. good job gangies.

if tsai and ferd together they lost bwhaaaaaaaaaa or maybe already on the tables making kala.

saw someplace can see wahine vball on tv @ 5. go get ladies

Papa Joe and Kazz, got to pay more for sewers

so we can pay for Hanabusu’s 36% pay raises…

Boise State has only had 11 drives enter their Red Zone so far this year… giving up only 6TD’s and 1FG.

SJSU has had 35 drives into their Red Zone, and given up 21 TD’s and 5FG’s.

Idaho has done a little better, with 23 drives into their Red Zone, and giving up 9TD’s and 8FG’s.

I think we’ve clamped down pretty good since the first three games. We’re getting better, but I’d like to see a shutout one of these years. Seems like we haven’t shutout anyone in ages. I think the last time we pitched a shutout was when Idaho, New Mexico State, and Utah State first joined. That was back about 5 years ago.

New post is up. 😀

#452, Ipu Man, I cannot even use the yard for sewer, cause my dog going get piss off. Eh, how bout telling us one of your funny jokes? Been a while.

Moniz is currently at #11 and Top 16 finalist will be annouced on Monday, October 25th.

The Selection Committee will select Top Three Finalist on November 22nd.

We would need to up ante vote daily to Promote More than currently +200 in order to catch up to BSU QB Moore @ #2. We need 10,000 More Vote.

Red Zone Opportunities: 31

Red Zone Touchdowns: 18* Pollard catch/fumble recovered by Salas counted here.

Red Zone Field Goals: 10

So by these numbers we scored 28 out of 31 tries in the red zone. So the only three times we didnt score was against Colorado? If that is so than those are some pretty good numbers. I mean we are def. doing better in the Red Zone this year than last.

ccording to the NCAA’s official stats, we had 33 Red Zone Opportunities.

We scored 27 times… 6 Rush, 11 Pass, 10 FG’s.

That means we failed to do anything on 6 other opportunities…

1) I know we fumbled the first time down at Colorado.

2) We then missed a FG the next time down.

3) We had a fumble against LaTech.

4) We missed a FG against Fresno State.

5) We missed a FG against Reno.

6) Since one of our trips into the Red Zone is missing, I’m guessing it was a turnover against Charleston Southern.

MICHIGAN WARRIOR it kills me when they can not score from the RED ZONE. Hawaii could have upset USC had they been able to get in for the Touchdown and not the field goals.
