Happy Holidays Everyone!
Go Wahine!

Shucks. Not even close.
HA!
Wow! I was 1st! Everyone’s probably still recovering from the party. Can’t wait to watch da Wahine play tonight!
Sorry wafan!
At least I was happy to see Esme…. š
š
d1 looks like someone I know . . . sans a beard and red outfit.
Funny face on that girl. She outta be in pictures.
Barney?!!!? šÆ
top ten
HA version of “Snow White and the seven faces of Esme! š
Were the dollar bills for a special dance performed by Tsai-meister himself? You can do it your back into it…Haha
Was Esme practicing her Mom-Look? Or was it during a Grinch Look-a-Like contest?
I would say she has it down.
….darn… ran out of gas on that run…. š
Brew . . .
Uhhh, Barney?
I hope everyone had a good time at the party! It’s kind of hard to tell from the pixs! š š
Woohoo!
Let’s go ‘Cats!
Let’s go ‘Cats!
Let’s go ‘Cats!
YEAH ‘cats!!! š
TD Linfield!!!!
Linfield- TD!!! 7-7
ST- JaM is gonna kill you…
Jason has ‘dat “school-teacher” pose down! š
Check the score LizK…. š
No scones for me either. Sauteed breadfruit and eggs over easy with a heavy dose of curveball’s 2x chili peppah watah.
Brew- I made my reservations for PDX- April 10-25.
INTERESTING- HA miles for my interisland legs would have been 17,000 points! WTH???
I got my ROUNDTRIPS from Go! for 5,000 points!!!
Wow- great Wildcat run… into the red zone!
okok 7-10
LizK,
Welcome back from da kope break….it’s 7-10. š
ST- if you survive JaM, Esme is lying in wait…
Yikes! Big plays in the Linfield game!
DEFENSE!
Liz:
JaM can’t kill me because Esme is going to kill me.
How come some do not look like they are having much fun?
Must have been scolded by Jason for not paying attention to the directions.
Cool comment- “suddenly there are 2,000 head coaches in the stands”.
WW has 4th and goal from the 2.
Thanks again to Myki for the cookies.
And to Slugger for the biscotti.
And to the A-Houses for The Advertiser Christmas Fund donation.
HUGE SACK by Linfield!
Yeah D! š
YES!!!!
Cookies? Biscotti? donations? …. I got one (used) charcoal briquet…. š„
Mr. Tsai . . .
I would not worry about the dying.
I would be terrified, though, of the pain both Esme and JaM will provide you.
We had quite a night. Our neighbor (not A-House) fainted twice (new medicine). He went to the hospital, but he’s doing better.
Yeah- ST- I would remove 2 of those shots before Esme wakes up…
Brew . . .
Wow, did not even rate a lump of coal?
If I’m going to die, I guess I can add one more Esme pic.
It’s halftime.
It’s a balmy 37 degrees but the band still refuses to come out for the halftime show!
whew just made it
good morning you party animals. anoddah nice day in the 808 some chilly but not like pnw or east coast. cold but still and can say it was a two blanket night.
beeg thanks to all who made it to the 4th annual christmas gathering. much fun, fuud, friends and family enjoyed by everyone there. we missed those who could not attend but we know you were there in spirit. kudos to jj for taking the time to make this happened ….. good one manadalay man. thanks st for the advertiser prizes give away and showing up. mahalos to slugger and myki for the christmas goodies yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. esme made a appearance which delighted the crowd. nice to see calvin, lopaka and mrs, annoddah dave, cawan cut, lefty plus their buddy (sorry neva take my mem2x)
Wow- nothing boring in the ST neighborhood. Glad your neighbor (not A-House) is better.
Halftime for Linfield. Hope they can warm up!
Speaking of cookies. Today is cookie baking day for me.
Oh my!
Take care A-house.
OK, new Esme photo is up .
That last one should do it!
heheheh
OMG, ST- with flowers or flowers omitted?
Brew- chantilly cake by Thrifty Mart is one of the finest anywhere. Delicate, light-as-a-feather chocolate (like German chocolate cake, but lighter) layers separated by lightly sweetened whipped cream instead of frosting.
I cannot bring this to the T-gates because it needs refrigeration and cannot be frozen like the lilikoi chiffon pies. Besides, TSA would never let it through and would have to “confiscate” it for testing. š
shouting out goes to d1, mrs, brent and wildcat team ….. go get um
brew was that one lump or two š , wafan inquiring mind keep asking when dat buggah ā coming home,
k- gonna start mixing cookie dough. This is gonna be a real test of he effectiveness of my rotator cuff PTs…
have a good weekend, play nice lattas you’all
Na Koa article on the Centennial Celebration is now up:
http://www.nakoa.org/news_centennialgala.htm
HUGE RECEPTION!!!!
Yeah ‘cats!!!! š
LINFIELD SCORES!!!! Huge drive opening the second half!
14-10 Linfield!!!!
No flowers.
I wouldn’t want flowers when I’m alive.
Whoah….. looks like one mug shot! Do they let you keep the earings on when they take those pix? Is there a matching one (profile) from the HPD? š
Wena says I have to take down the Esme shots.
So enjoy ’em for another hour.
Actually…. the last two are just like the “before/after” photos from:
– cosmetic surgery ads
– drug recovery programs
– depression therapy ads
– before/after one whacks the photographer event….
šÆ š š
HUGE PENALTY on WW brings a TD back.
Linfield 17- 10 start of 4Q
ST- you brave postin’ pics of Tsaiko faces only a mom could love.
Gmorning gang!
Big time Mahalo to JJ for making last night’s event happen with much success. Mahalo to all who made it. For those who couldn’t, honestly, you were all there in spirit.
Barnburner in Wisconsin!
WW 20-17
Good Morning Tsaikos and Tsaikettes!
Thank you for a great time at the party last night and for the yummy goodies (or so I heard ’cause I didn’t get to try it before someone ate it all). ST, thank you for the prizes. Bummer we won’t get to use um.
Esme-
I didn’t realize there were so many different sides to you. You are a complex woman. The first picture is my favorite. The finishing touch would be JJ’s Bah Humbug hat.
Koakane-
Uh…(in #43) “whew just made it” ……does that mean “home”?
Thanks to you and JJ for planning the party.
A-Joe – š Mahalo!
Army – Navy game. Bet Army was interested in the UH-Navy game. I used to like the Navy offense but I really didn’t get how nasty those cut-blocks are.
Sailor Blue must not be too happy as Army is giving them a game!!
LizK-
Thank you for the Santa hat. A-joe was looking for his red and white santa hat but couldn’t find so he ended up wearing his Indiana Jones/Football Season Down-in-Front hat that we had to dress up.
4Q DRAMA in the Linfield game!
Yahoo! Army up 7-0!!!
And,
Booo! Navy down 0-7!!!
Mr. Tsai . . . .
A brave man who is also bright enough to listen to Wena.
wafan wrong score 3-0 army
Dang.
Army up 3-0.
Sports- PERFECT! So glad Slugger passed it to him š
eeek. Army-Navy… I forgot to set the dvr. Thanks, Pomai!
Linfield is running a 2 minute drill to come from behind… C’mon CATS!!!
Army is playing them tough
AIYAH! INt… gunfunnit
Cmon MIRACLE!!!
Fumble Army recovers
LizK~!!!!
I can’t believe my ears.. did you just say.. 4Q !!! ???
My cyber-ears … that is.. š
Great season for the Wildcats comes to an end. š
Thanks for the support Tsaikos!
GO WAHINE!
Forget Nanay Esme, I’ll do the bloody killing around here.
mih… ???? (rubs head… it was the fourth quarter… places head in the gutter… OOOOOHHHH… š )
Ah, well, pau for Linfield… a GREAT game, though. Coulda gone either way!
Ah yes… now I can hear what Jason was saying in that pic…
Sharp lookin’ Navy unis. š
I gotta wait to see the A-N game. #2 son just came home from boogieboarding… he did a faceplant on his board… owww… He’s taking over the TV for a little while.
Great season ‘Cats
When is the Wahine match and is it being broadcasted? I have the cal-Penn State audio on after the Linfield game but can’t find Hawaii.
Jason . . .
No blood! Too much to worry about that way.
I like Army’s victory formation. The backs face inward to be there is case of a fumble then rotate foward to block.
Liz . . .
What kind of cookies are you making? I guess i will do mine when I get home. Maybe. Hopefully, some of the batter gets to the oven!
Too bad for the ‘Cats. Use this year as a lesson for next year!
Hopefully, the Warriors do, too!
LizK
6:30pm HT… ESPNU
maybe also on CBS sports via the Michigan site.
Mahalo, mih
wafan- choco chip with a bit of Coach’s oats…
Navy up… 7-3…
Liz . . .
Yum! I use the Snoqualmie Oats for oatmeal-raisin cookies. But, CCC, the original receipe, is still my favorite with a tall glass of ice-cold milk.
97
Can we get to 100?
Navy up 3 – 10.
100!
Finally, 2nd Century!
Also- Mexican pure vanilla extract… makes all the difference in the cookies…
Navy shutting down Army in the second half. … doing unto others as others have done upon them.
Oops.. here comes Army!
MIH. Is that a misprint? It says – Army wide receiver, 6-10 283 lbs?
Pride. . . .
No. He is 6-10, and trimmed down from 315.
Unreal.
He just cannot hold on to the ball.
where are we put them….
with well over a dozen scholie offers out on the table, what happens if they all commit???
perhaps some have already fallen off the table for one reason or another. but it will be interesting. i guess management will get creative with the greyshirts and stuff.
seems like we may have taken too many early commits again????
6’10″… cannot hold onto ball.. maybe that’s why he’s not playing basketball, eh?
It’s amazing how these tall guys are becoming more and more agile these days. I remember when just about anyone over 6’6″ was just lanky and clumsy and doctors worried about the wear and tear of their bodies if they participated in fast paced sports. Of course there were a handful of exceptions, but today, those exceptions seems to be the norm.
First game in which UH was not involved that I can remember the ESPN folks spoke positively of the Warriors.
al,..
I suppose right now.. it’s first come.. first serve..
Villanueva, the 6-10 guy, is thinking of swimming for Army. Dang. Would he have an advantage of some sort with body length and arm reach?
Could use him for third and short as well… four steps.. turn.. go up.. come down.. slide…
For a good laugh at Americans looking very foolish, watch the American Ninja Warrior.
Absolutely hilarious.
TIme to bocha.
Looks like you all had a great time last night…awesome. ST – thanks for sharing the photos today. And Esme, no hint of that swollen lip – must be that smokin’ hot lipstick. Yee haw!
Nice pics. Tsai, you’ve got to add captions…you R a writer, no?
Ok, all you cookie monsters—
Here’s my cookie recipie (sp?):
Two big cups of oatmeal…
Two small cups of flour…
One stick of real butter…
Two Eggs
No white sugar, zilch, nadah…
One cup of brown sugar…
baby handful of cinnamon…
No salt, no baking soda, no need…
handful of wheat germ…
sprinkle in some colon cleanse…
Mix the whole buggah together…
scoop onto cookie sheet…
Press in gobs of chocolate chips…
Add three or more pecans per cookie…
Bake 350 for about 15 to 20 minutes…
Eat hot with icecream…
Where did everyone go?
In case you don’t have the U – you can watch WVB streaming at –
http://www.justin.tv/prd74_2
I’m watching the Minn/FSU match. I don’t like cheering for the beeg10, but there’s no way I’m going to pull for the bogus #3-seed in FSU. Besides – Minn has a player named Tabitha Love….. sweet! š
~~ā¢~~~~ā¢~~~~ā¢~ ★ ★ ★ Go WAHINE!!! ★ ★ ★ ~ā¢~~~~ā¢~~~~ā¢~~
Someone once sent me a recipe for holiday fruit cake. I lost it – but only remember you needed to take a sip of 151 between every step, before you added each ingredient (got lots in fruit cake), etc.
I never finished…. š
#3 seed….. pppphhhhhffffttttt!!! š

Thanx Bpew808 for your great link info on #117.
Wow, I wonder if they also showed football
games we the poor people don’t get in Hawaii???
yes
Bess has earned all of the respect he’s getting…
Bess’ agent is not in a hurry to get a long-term deal done with Miami…since he knows that Miami cannot afford to lose him and the closer he gets to free agency, the more leverage Bess has.
Back from my meetings plus a sad visit to our veterinarian’s office. Both Jazzpurrs The Cat and Saturn The Dog are entering the last few weeks of their lives; they are still pain-free and being actively involved with the family, but ……
ESPN 1420 will be broadcasting the Wahine match live starting around 6:15. The men’s basketball game will be on K5 starting at 7 pm so those of you who are staying home and have hoitsy-toitsy cable can flip back & forth between the two. The basketball radio broadcast is a couple of stations to the left of 1420.
We’re heading into town in about half an hour to watch the Texas Nebraska match at a sports bar somehwere before going up to the Stan Sheriff Center to the basketball game.
A quick reminder about the HI-5 fundraiser tomorrow – visit http://www.waa-hawaii.org/waaclndr.htm for details. All donors will receive a plant from Hui Ku Maoli Ola Native Hawaiian Plants and a candy cane as a mahalo gift.
Before I forget…. several of you earlier kept referring to WW. What does that stand for?
WDoc,
Univ. of Wisc-Whitewater
WassupDoc,
I am very, very sorry to hear about Jazzpurrs and Saturn. I hope that you, Dr. Doc, and your other pets enjoy these last few weeks with them and get through everything okay.
#3-seed (& #4) => Phffftttttttttttttt!!!!! š
Texas is the top seed in their region, the #2 volleyball team in the country, and they have to play Nebraska in Nebraska to get to the Final Four. You can imagine that Texas is quite unpopular in the state of Nebraska right now due to the Big 12 football championship game, so Texas will be facing a *very* motivated crowd and team tonight.
I think that the Wahine team will beat Michigan tonight–I thought that facing Stanford in Palo Alto would be a tough challenge, so I was happy that Michigan won. However, the way that Michigan beat Stanford shows that they will be very, very hard to beat.
Texas might lose to (Texas), but I expect Texas to smoke Neb. š
Mich looked solid and will be a challenge…. hope they peaked and spent their energy/enthusiasm. Too bad AK appears out. š
ok, I’ll bite.
I Love Pecan Pie: colon cleanse???
ā
My bettas are spawning.
bbl…
brew808,
It is bad that AK will probably not play today, but hopefully another player or two will have great games in her place. Hopefully Michigan has a letdown after playing at such a high level against Stanford…but they will be hard to beat tonight no matter what.
…those cookies are for those in a hurry – grab & go, gotta run, get ’em now, they go quickly …. š
Looks like the BJ Penn fight will be on channelsurfing.net tonight
http://www.channelsurfing.net/
I would choose not to bite on the colon cleanse.
Yuck!
Hewitt & Ferrell stepped up their games big time last night. AF needs to improve her lateral quickness but contributed. Anyone know if Fowler can go tonight? Go WAHINE!!! š
…talk about “whoooooosssshhh….” š šÆ šÆ
eh, ST….
those last four wahine photos; who are them girls?????
nah, nah…..just joking, must be all da same because they all have da same earrings….bwaaahahaha!!!!
the last photo was beautiful…..grrrrrhhhh!!
Liz, Bpew’s “whoooossssh” comment says it all…
Those cookies help you lose weight while
tsaikologically keep your tummy happy…
Good afternoon Tsaikos…
Thanks to all last night for a great time. Sorry I had to leave so early but had a medical family issue to deal with after getting a call from my mom’s MD last night. I’ll let everyone know about it in a bit.
Thanks to KK for all his efforts in planning the party last night. Bruddah was awesome. And don’t worry, I have the money and will be donating that to the Advertiser Christmas Fund on behalf of the Tsaikos….
Talk to everyone later.
(J)J . . .
I hope your Mom is okay!
Prayers and continued positive thoughts!!!
I’m baking cookies tonight. Anyone want some?
(J)J: Hope your Mom is ok!
another bb team with a losing record coming to the SSC tonight, good chance to extend win streak to 3. Only 14 more wins for another year contract extension, bring on the cupcakes it’s time to party, Nash is smiling but I’m sure JD is looking at his bb balance sheet and he isn’t smiling.
(J)J,
Hope your Mom’s OK.
J(J) only positive thoughts for your mom, wishing her a full recovery.
Hiya JJ. Positive thoughts for your ohana and your mom!
Here is hoping L&L is having a great visit today with the Warriors. Hopefully the same is happening to the two Issaquah bruddaz. The three of them could really help our Warriors psychologically and physically. The main thing, they gotta want to be Warriors. Get past that, and all is possible.
(J)J,
Hope things are better for your Mom.
Main thing too, they want to be the best of the best. We got that kind mentality in the middle of the Pacific. Bryan Clay has made Hawaii proud. BJ Penn has made Hawaii proud. These guys can help our team if they try to be their best for us and themselves.
Howzit Tsai-kos!
Looks like much fun wuz had last night.
You guys wuz making me hungry with all the talk about cookies…
My turn! After watching the vb game, I’m gonna test out Mom’s bread pudding recipe. Made with croissants and cranberries. If it comes out, then I’ll make another bigger batch for office potluck on Monday. If not, it’s back to the usual triple chocolate cake.
Getting close to game time. GO WAHINE!!!
(J) J – i’ll continue to pray for your mom. also, sending positive thoughts and well-wishes.
take care and God Bless!
we all are here for you, my brother.
Go Bows!
Cranberry pudding sounds nice.
continued prayers for LTUHF for a speedy recovery.
……and much love to Mrs LTUHF.
My oatmeal-cranberry-white chocolate cookies came out good. I tried to spike it with a little bit of vanilla extract, but it appears that this wasn’t evenly distributed, so some cookies have a good amount of vanilla spike while others have none.
glad everyone had a great time at last night’s Christmas party.
although i was not able to attend. i was there in ‘spirit’.
GOOOOO Wahine!
GO BJ!!!
…..celebrate your birthday a day early with a victory tonight.
Let’s go ‘bows!
Let’s go ‘bows!
Let’s go ‘bows!
Game about to start.
They are calling Michigan = Meat Chicken…
Say it really fast…
And the announcers say Michigan and
Hawaii are mirror teams, not too tall…
but agressive and fast…
CONGRATULATIONS to Brent and the Wildcats on a very successful season!
healing prayers for Brent on his injury.
i bet he can’t wait until he comes home for the holidays to thaw out and enjoy mom’s delicious home-cooking š
ST- are you ok???
I hope his car was completely stopped and parked!
down 12 to 8, Hawaii now leads 13 to 12!
After Shoji called time out…
Amber Kaufman played…
Let it rain, Kanani!
Thanks HawaiianBod.
He can’t wait to get home….
sending prayers to Pops. may God heal you from ‘the crown of your head to the soles of your feet.’
hi Aunty Diana! š hope all is well with you.
Set 1, Hawaii!
Whew!
RAH!
Yea! Hawaii wins first set 25-23-ish
WOO HOO!!!
one down, two to go.
GO WAHINE!
Auryte WAHINES!!!!!
First set = Sigh of relief.
BJ just entered the ring
Sanchez hurt bad
GO!
‘Bows!
The UH band is there?
Set two, Hawaii leads 22-17…
Wahine take the second set!
RAH!
RAH!
CHEE HOO!
2 down, 1 to go.
GO WAHINE!!!
Hawaii wins 2nd set!
But twitter comments say
Penn will kill both teams (tomorrow).
Even Coach Shoji just said
neither team is playing well…
Go Wahine!
BJ is outclassing his opponent after three rounds.
oops, I don’t mean Sunday, I think Penn plays the
winner in the finals next Thursday?
BJ is done toying with this kid, he wants to finish him now. Huge gash, fight over.
alex hunt is hitting over .500 and she hit only .239 all of 2009 prior to tonight, she’ll cool off.
Paz has lots of energy. I saw an earlier game with Michigan and Penn State and she was like Kazz all game long.
Hewitt is bringing it, earlier in the season she would only hit a place shot, no power.
comment twitter: Kanani crushed that coconut…
and Hewit is a “freak”…meaning she’s very very good…
The announcers have nothing good to say about the Wahine. They’re DUMBfounded!!!
I LOVE IT!!!
Ferrell has to learn to hit high hands, third game, she’s been stuffed four times.
alex hunt is a southpaw, Na Wahine nemesis, UH always had a difficult time adjusting to a southie.
way 2 go BJ!
…..that’s what happens when people talk ‘unko’. some people just don’t learn šÆ
Big10 volleyball?
BIG DEAL!
Michigan’s never been WAC’d before!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!
It is kind of interesting how they talk about Hawai’i’s faults and shortcomings. Yet, how bad must Michigan be if they are losing?
That cut that BJ’s shin opened up on Sanchez’ forehead has to be among the worst I’ve seen – ugly.
Go Wahine!!!
ekahi, ekolu…..ALOOOOOHA!!!
final four, babeee!!!!!
keep the dream alive.
WOO HOO WAHINE!
Hawaii wins 3rd set…will go to national championships. Good job, girls and coaches.
Congrats Rainbow Wahine. Final 4.
Bring on Penn State! We’ll have to play a lot better than we did tonight if we want to beat the Nittany Lions, but I know we can!
two more wins and we are national champs once again! go Na Wahine
Yahoo!!!
Final Four — here come the Wahine!!!
Get out the broom!! SWEEEEEP!! Uno, dos, adios Michigan!!
CONGRATS WAHINE!!!! Beat dem pussycats!
Aurtye WAHINES, kick some Penn State okole.
Final Four!!!!!!
Hell yeah! Congratulations Wahine! Thank God the Big 10 is not going to have three teams in the final four. That would be too much.
As nice as it is Penn State has won *100* in a row. That is beyond nuts. I think that since the Big 10 has two teams in the final four indicates that Penn State plays in a challenging league.
The ladies have to bring their absolute best game. But, hey. Gotta believe.
I remember the joy and euphoria we all felt when Dave Shoji got his 1,000th win. I hope we can prevent Russ Rose from sharing those feelings next Thursday evening. š
just noticed, duh,…..what’s up with the wb clock?
have a great night errybody.
whoooooooooosh
#12 seed my A$$! šæ
Gotta go sleep now.
Gotta get up and dodge the marathon tomorrow morning.
Gonna dream about white chocolate oatmeal cranberry vanilla cookies.
As Liz says, whhhoooosssshhh…
nighty-night.
Do Wop 50 on KHET at this time. 8 to 11 pm
I guess Michigan cannot take the traveling. Wonder if it was too far for them?
Is the MBB team playing tonight?
Duffer . . .
Yes.
beat psu and we claim the big 12 title. Illinois was 2, f/ by Minnesota and Michigan
duffer,
Yes. MBB is playing Chicago State as we type. Unfortunately, they’ve been playing them close pretty much the entire game.
b4igo…..W-Doc – re #130
…..since 7 p.m. i’ve been patiently sitting in front of my tv waiting for K5 to air the mbb game. how much longer do you suggest i wait?!?! lol.
GO BOWS!
PATHETIC! SIMPLY PATHETIC!!!
MICHIGAN TOOK PENN STATE TO 5… SO WHAT?
MICHIGAN BEAT STANFORD AT STANFORD IN FOUR LAST NIGHT… SO WHAT?
Despite our errors that should have been costly, we only sweated 2.5 sets in this entire regional!!!
Just like D1 just mentioned, “12th seed my OKOLE!!!”
Pre season predictions, I guessed that the Wahine would have fallen short a match ago, well, gladly they have proven me wrong!!!! š³ ( š )
Earlier in the year, it was pretty evident that Penn State and Texas are a mile above the rest and that includes us, BUT looking at the final 8 then now the final 4, the reality is, that while Penn State and Texas are on a “seperate” level than us, it appears that we are also on a seperate level than everyone ranked in the AVCA poll behind us at #3.
Seeing the emotion in the eyes of our ladies tonight was just priceless and seeing Dave Shoji leap in joy like this was his first season was just great.
CONGRATS TO THE PRIDE OF HAWAI’I!!! OUR RAINBOW WAHINE!!!
(Now, what to do about Penn State?)
Good night, all!
See you tomorrow.
GO WAHINE!
Beat PSU!
I wonder what chawan and kazz decided to do tonight..mbb at the SSC, Na Wahine at the Regional on ESPNU, and BJ on PPV or cruising with Koa Mahu.
whew….blog boss i hope you are all right?
better the door than you.
(According to hawaiiathletics.com)
***REPLAY OF RAINBOW WARRIOR BASKETBALL VERSUS CHICAGO STATE WILL AIR TOMORROW MORNING (SUNDAY DECEMBER 13TH) ON K-5 AT 10AM***
(tonight’s game was on Oceanic PPV)
congratulations to the rainbow wahine!
i liked what shoji said on the post game interview. he politely said that penn state with their 100 win streak has to fall sooner or later.
believe.
Ralph,
I stayed home for the Wahine game. I think my neighbors were wondering if UH football was on the tube due to the excessive profanity and loud cheering coming from my living room… š
Chawan told me he’d be representing at the Stan Sheriff Center tonight… Well that’s what he claimed… š
808ike,
WHERE YOU AT SIR?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? CELEBRATE!!!
Seriously though, the Wahine have come out passing poorly in the first sets. Good thing for us a combination of over-rated opponents and strong resolve by the Hawaii players and coaching staff resulted in good recoveries.
Against Penn State, the cliche of limiting errors comes into place again. For a brief moment, it seemed like our offensive attack from our middles was going to take more precedence than it usually does tonight, but that wasn’t the case…
Stephanie Ferrell, who had her big struggles during the regular season and even the WAC tourney, is having a GREAT postseason.
Brittany Hewitt is proving she can hold her own against better opponents than weak conference foes.
Tonight, Stephanie Brandt didn’t have an outstanding game, but still proves to be important in the rotation much like Jayme Lee’s service role.
Passing and the defense around the 3m line needs to be cleaned up. They gotta work on their serve receive as there are some gunners on Penn State and can throw them off right off the bat.
It’s not impossible, but apparently the first REAL test against real competition in the post season is coming at a very crucial time.
CHEEEHOOOO!!!
The Rainbow Wahine “AIKAE, NCAA” 2009 Tour continues!!! š
UH up 61-36 over Chicago State with 7.45 minutes to go. Nash feeding his team cupcakes before the Diamond Head Classic in 2 weeks.
#225 – What to do? Chop Block! š³ wrong game… Nah… Wahine have time to heal and game plan. Penn State is going DOWN!
What a night! I stayed home and had the BJ Penn fight up in one window and the Wahine (through DISH and Eye-TV) up in another. iMacs ROCK!!!
i think that ferrell coming out party started just on time.
she has been the mvp so far.
glad to here the announcers pay tribute to the year long mvp of this team, aneli cubi-otineru.
the unsung hero at the same time is dani mafua.
nothing against the hammer, danielson. her talents are a given.
the surprise of the year is brittany hewitt.
and how about the job alexis forsythe did last night.
kaufmann playing tonight was never a surprise. she may be the toughest kid we have had on this team for a long time. reminsicent of tita ahuna back in the day.
hey, this team resembles tita’s team back in the day. everyone overlooked them. team first and defense was the vehicle.
florida here we come.
…and I don’t like fighting, boxing, or any of that kind of stuff… but BJ Penn REPRESENTED from the moment he walked in with Bruddah IZ filling the room with the spirit of HAWAII. So cool, so focused, so IN THE MOMENT!
Ralph:
December 12th, 2009 at 7:31 pm
Hewitt is bringing it, earlier in the season she would only hit a place shot, no power.
That’s VERY early in the season. Also early in the season, she had breakout games with her blocking against UCLA and Stanford.
Hewitt was getting some crap about her play against WAC opponents, but he play has not fallen off a bit from the WAC tourney to the sub regionals to tonight.
Towards the latter middle of the year and the end of the season you could see Hewitt was seeing the backcourt much better. Then the confidence came to just pound it in no matter who the opponent was.
Nash needs 18 wins for a roll over, he will have 5 after tonight, In a 30 game season, he has 21 games left. He needs to finish at least 13-8 the rest of the way. Next game is tournament opener with College of Charleston, currently 5-3, with games with Charleston Southern and Clemson before coming to Hawaii.
Al,
I missed the radio broadcast of the game last night. All I knew was Forsythe came in for a hurt Kaufman and the blocking came to play in the 2nd set to get us that 25-10 win.
Good for her. She seems to be physically ready, well more than, to play at this level and to start at this level. I think she’ll be big for us next season. Hewitt is a lock, but after that, the depth of the middle position will remain a mystery for now.
We’ll be hard-pressed to find starters like Amber Kaufman, Aneli Cubi-Otineru and a great off the bench contributer like Stephanie Brandt for a while. Hope I am wrong.
Hewitt was the surprise earlier in the season, now, just like Kanani, we just expect good performances on a match to match basis.
I think the “quiet” surprise of the season is the hustle and effort displayed by Ka’aihue.
She came into this season off of an injury-filled 2008 and she came in good shape and seems much faster in reacting to digs than I expected her to, but then again we never really got to see too much of her prior to this season. Replacing a pure athlete like Tara Hittle last year was a concern I had at the libero position before the season started, but Ka’aihue has done the job well.
Dang we get in the final four and still then get on us like we are second rate!!! You watch when we win the National Championship they will still find something nasty to say………….. to heck with them.
Aloha everyone from far away Tucson. Kevin is graduating next weekend so we’re here in Tucson. Driving up to the Grand Canyon for a couple days while Kevin finishes finals on Monday and Tuesday.
Just wanted to say thanks very much for dropping off all your cans and donating the money to PIAA. We received a check for $30 from the Tsaikos efforts. Every bit helps!
Have a wonderful Christmas everyone and be safe!
Doris
Emily Hartong is an excellent jump server out of Los Al. She is 6’1. I saw her hit the slide. 6’3 Waber will compete with Corrine for an OH spot and I don’t know where Shoji will look at RS Tuaniga who is 6’1 to 6’2l.
Yeah Wahines!
Very goood. verrry gooooood!
Pomai, well like I said earlier, it’s just PATHETIC, SIMPLY PATHETIC!!!
They seed us at #12 and we take care of this entire regional with the exception of one set and a fraction from USC and one lone set from Illinois, yet not much in the way of respect.
IT’S BEEN PATHETIC COMPETITON ONE AFTER THE OTHER FOR OUR WAHINE IN THIS PAST REGIONAL!!! Yet the #12 non-sense… š
Ai yah no mo PPV!!!
thanks for the bb updates
Ralph,
I think Tuaniga is listed as a middle.
So the middles next season look like:
Hewitt
Forsythe
Tuaniga
Hartong
Mitchell
If Coach Shoji says Hartong is “Kaufman-like” then he’ll have to evaluate the roles for Tuaniga and Mitchell.
Forsythe has been steady enough at times this season to be able to compete to play alongside Hewitt.
Hawaii wins, 83-58.
Go Rainbow Warriors!
That is also PATHETIC!!! š
I just wonder what kind of damage we could have done with the geographical advantages teams like USC (ELIMINATED) Stanford (ELIMINATED) and Nebraska (ELIMINATED) have had all tourney long… š
Doesn’t matter. The Wahine proved that no geographical advantages were needed at all.
None. š
congratulations to Aneli, Stephanie Ferrel, and Dani for making the all tournament team, and Danielson receiving the tournament’s MVP
George Bailey is not having a good day….
…or a Wonderful Life.
Basketball game closer than expected! šÆ
2nd half of the basketball game starting soon…
(YES, D1, GET DELAY ON THE RADIO) š
Kazz,
š
Na Wahine pink jersey tops on auction block, Hewitt’s bid is at $252, Brandt at $102 and the other starters at $152. Jaymee’s bid is at $225.
WooHoo! Watched the WVB at Genji. Exciting! Glad they took care of Michigan in 3. Congrats to the Wahine! Good luck at the Finals!
AnnodahLiz & I had a good time at the Christmas party. Always nice to hang out with the Tsaikos.
Ralph..
You got your computer fixed okay?
Alexis needs to work on foot speed, UH runs a quick offense, she can’t expect to stand next to mafua to get a set. Without footwork there is no slide set for her. when she gets to the pins she is a formidable blocker, at least she slows the ball down like she did last night
surprising that Alabama next had a Heisman trophy winner before Ingram won it.
Mr. Ingram’s Heisman speech just seemed so genuine, you can’t help but feel happy for the guy.
Glad to see the Hesiman go to someone in which the media didn’t take it upon themselves to craft and sell him as some sort of moral/holier-than-thou figure than can do no wrong. š
Mr. Ingram won this one by his play on the field. Good for him!
MIH I don’t know what happened, iguardPc and the pop ups disappeared today. I switched spyware and malware software. Dropped Adware SE Personal, Spyblaster and Spybot and up loaded IOrbit malware and Hijack This per CNET editors choice. Couldn’t upgrade AVG AV to 9.0, some registry Key is blocking it from being up loaded. It mentioned that spyware can be a reason so I dropped the three old spywares and went with IOrbit.
Last I checked, the autographed team volleyballs are beyond the $200.00 mark as well. I am sure that will increase soon… š
Hope a lot of KALA is made as its for two good causes. Alas… I am not made of $$$ and someone already out-bid me on one of them… š
they should have told him that Heisman winners don’t cry.
RE: MMA ppv prices.
My God!!! Considering that there is no guarantee to be entertained or at least seeing something exciting, that is a RIP OFF!!!! šÆ
Ralph,
š …
Hey! Mr. Ingram can’t help it that his Heisman moment was REAL and wasn’t scripted from the start of the football season and then shoved down the throats of mainstream America to the point of nausea… š
Kazz there were no x large jerseys unless you were planning on hanging it in a frame.
surprised that Brandt’s is a small, she is 5’9 and Hewitt at 6’3 wears a woman’s large. Mrs. A House must wear an extra petite. lol.
I think Clarence will get his wings š
UH reports mbb attendance averages 5400+ for 7 games, several of the games had turnstile of 2300, lots of no shows, I hope they are paid no shows an not free comp. tickets. We need transparency, I hope UHAD and JD aren’t cooking the books to feel better of themselves and the mbb program.
iobit is okay… they seem to be working hard to keep up with the malware base.
Bookmark this link for future reference.. I use it all the time.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/
MIH i didn’t know iguardpc was a trojan malware. I thought it was a microsoft windows app. Do you know anything about Hijack This. It is highly rated by Cnet editors but got to know what to delete and what to keep- scary proposition for me.
who is Clarence?
AVG resident shield reported a trojan that i healed and placed in a vault, i wonder if that was iguardpc. i had to do it several times, heal or vault, did it both ways, took several attempts for the resident shield to accept my choice.
Ralph,
Hijack this basically records what programs and modules are loading… it will report changes from the last time you ran Hijack… It also can recognize a few malware and virus. It’s a great tool if you know what to look for but can be dangerous if you delete something that shouldn’t be deleted.
The link that I provided gives more detail on the various tools and anti-virus software that can be used. Thing is, make sure you do a “review” check on any anti-virus you plan to install. Some are fake programs that simply install their own virus to find, make you panic and ask for money to remove it..
.
And in the Tsai-ko production of It’s a Wonderful Life, Ralph stars as Mr. Potter. š
HijackThis is a great program, but it’s very, very powerful. Anyways, Ralph, I actually recommend avast! Antivirus over AVG. And if you have a 32-bit version of Windows, then you can run a boot-time scan using avast! that might be more effective.

d1….i saw clarence get his wings last night at your alma mater.
i think jason would make a fine casting director.
Rainbow Cliff,
Thank you for your compliments.
The doctors and nurses in the ICU are taking good care of LTUHF.
The doctors are taking it slowly and he is recovering…minute by minute.
We’ll need to be really patient.
Whew! The power of prayer is appreciated. Our family is so grateful.
.
Sorry for the misinformation about the men’s basketball game broadcast, but that was what I was told by K5 & ESPN 1420. I have no idea why it was PPV. Set your recorders to pick up the re-broadcast at 10 Sunday.
So what did the ESPNU announcers say about the Wahine? The radio broacast was pro-Wahine. I thought the announcer was going to stroke out, he got so excited. We brought a radio into the Stan Sheriff Center – whenever we tuned in to catch up on the match, everyone around us leaned over to hear what was going on.
The Wahine fans in Stanford were loud – at least over the radio. How many were there? What’s going to happen in Tampa? Anyone here on the blog going to attend? Maybe what we ought to do is arrange for a webcast on our end – I’m sure that the facility will be wifi-ed – so that the team can hear us yelling our heads off.
Does anyone which game will be the Penn State/Hawai`i game – the one at 2 pm pr 4 pm Hawai`i time?
Saw Chawan_Cut in the Manoa Maniacs section as usual, but that was it as far as I could tell from Tsai-ko Tsity folks. What we saw tonight was a portent of some really great things to come. As for Bill Amis – I’ve read that if he cannot play by tournament time in 10 days, he’ll apply for a medical redshirt extension rather than go into the NBA draft next spring without playing this year until maybe the end of the season.
Hawaiianbod,
Thank you for your prayers, love and support; it is so much appreciated by our family.
We feel so sorry to see him in pain and can’t do anything to help.
longtimer’s boss…how are you doing?
up pretty late again aren’t you?
it is going to take longtimer a longtime to recover. but, in the end he will be “all good”.
and yes the power of prayer is very healing.
God Bless- good news all around today!
Prayers continue.
Nitey Nite and SWEET UH Athletics Dreams!
W-Doc – no worries. i was j/k.
hope all goes well with your upcoming surgery. i’ll be praying for you.
may the last days of your beloved pets be filled with peace and pain-free.
Aloha, Tsaiko Ohana!
Thanks for the gracious hospitality, good food, fun, games, and prizes at last night’s Christmas party. It was so nice to see all the familiar faces, and take part in the holiday celebration.
Thank you ST for creating this blog and helping it evolve into this amazing group.
I apologize for not circulating and greeting each of you. I’ve had my own medical issues this last week, and yesterday was the first day out in the world for any significant time. Please know that Mrs Lopaka and I greatly appreciate the time we have spent with you. What an interesting and varied group!!
What a great game by the Wahine tonight!! So determined, steady, and together in the face of adversity. We are going to always remember this team as one of the best we have ever had in their resilience and the strength across the entire lineup.
Go Wahine!! Go Warriors!!
Mrs LTUHF – you’re welcome, however no thank you is needed. that’s what family members do for one another (give love, emotional support and offer words of encouragement).
i will continue to pray for LTUHF (Uncle), even after he is healed.
please take care of yourself. your Tsaiko Ohana is here for you.
God Bless!
RainbowCliff – may God continue to give you strength with the passing of your mom, best friend and inspiration.
i know there was an overflowing of love from friends and family members at your Mom’s ‘Celebration of Life’. she will be missed.
safe travels to you and Mrs RainbowCliff as you journey back to SoCal.
take care and aloha.
err…..not sure what happened with ‘an, and’.
ST – don’t know what happened, but i hope that you’re ok.
wafan – take us to the 300 mark.
i know you’ll be having a great breakfast today, whether it be scones, pancakes, or some other ‘sweet sensation’.
btw, what are the temps this a.m.?
g’night errybody!
sweet wahine dreams :smle:
whoooooooooosh
oops….. š
Morning…wait, I never go sleep yet. Hmm…
5 a.m., maybe I’ll just start my day anyway…
Samson update:
Reports out of Cleveland say that the Browns should have kept David Veikune at OLB (the position they drafted him for) instead of moving him to ILB.
A fine peaceful Sunday to all!
H-Bod . . .
Still a bit on the cool side (around 21 this morning) with clouds coming in from the South a bit later today. Possible snow when that happens. Hopefully it will not affect school tomorrow.
Good news!
The Wahine sweep last night was not just a dream!!!
@Wafan
waiting for the sun to rise at Waiehu. Sitting here with shorts and t-shirt. š
Scones, strawberry preserves, and a tall glass of ice-cold milk for breakfast.
Mmmmmmmmm.
duffer . . .
In less than a week I will be sitting at home in shorts and a T-shirt, too! Whoo-hoo!!!
The trick will be not to sunburn. HA!
Yeti goes holo-holo…. š

Good morning Tsaikos everywhere.
Mrs. LTUH. continued prayers and good wishes for da longtimer and his family. give him my best from Hilo.

good good article. i can tell you cannot wait for next season for #2.
Good for him. good for you.
Wondering when one of the big schools will notice the type of job that Bobby Hauck has done at Montana. Can’t believe that no one’s taken a chance on him yet. His record over the last five years has been quite remarkable.
2005 8-4 Lost in 1st round of NCAA playoffs
2006 12-2 Lost in Semi-Finals
2007 11-1 Lost in 1st round of playoffs
2008 14-2 Lost in finals
2009 14-0 In Finals
Congrats to the Linfield Wildcats on a fine season.
Congrats to the Wahine for making it to the final four. Much luck to Dave Shoji and the team in the semi-finals against Penn State. Don’t worry about winnning, don’t worry about the outcome of the game. Just do your absolute best, and leave everything out on the court. If you do that, you’ll be a winner no matter what the score is.
Some people worry about looking good. No need look good. Just DO good and BE good. Everything else will work out for the best.
Congratulations to Buffalo head coach Turner Gill on getting the Kansas head football coaching job. Gill coached four years at Buffalo and won the MAC championship in 2008.

Paraphrasing HA’s Wes Nakama. the high school guy:
“On paper, it’s easy to set goals and a … plan to achieve them… But it can’t hurt to have other alternatives ready, just in case that wall pops up out of nowhere …”
Got me to thinking about the high school recruiting going on right now.
I disagree that a Hawaii raised quarterback will increase the fan base.
More recently, Colt, who was not from here, and Timmy Chang, showed me that winning wll increase the fan base. Von Appen showed me that winning will increase the fan base.
Coaches, go get the best of the best. And polish up ourselves too. š
BTW, hope you’re having a great time with the 2 Issaquah Eagles.
Are they tough enough to be Warriors? Just curious š
Aloha Kakahiaka!
Lopaka43, RainbowCliff, Bod, LTUHF, W-Doc and menagerie – complete healing and contentment, whatever the ailment or distress!
Today is cantata day! Waimea UCC at 10AM.
HTTR!
Rajah dat Pride!
Wanting to play your best with the best is what it’s all about. This Wahine team has what it takes.
I have no doubt that they will give the true fans of VB a display of all out firepower they have never seen before. Penn St. had better bring their lunch, because Kanani will smack her best shots at them from every angle! Great all-around team play will take care of the rest.
Let’s Go Bows!
Pride,
Merry Christmas, long time no see. I totally agree with you, control what you can control, focus on that, and everything else will fall into place. Pursue everything in the spirit of excellence, and it is amazing what will happen.
Have a blessed day š
318 Pride,
I agree, Hauck has a winning program in Montana, and he has generated a ton of revenue for the school. Ironically, they were one of the schools who were very interested in ryan, but there was a coaching change and bobby’s brother went back to the NFL i believe. Long story short, Missoula is a great stadium to play in, the Hall of Fame is literally a 100 yd hall that you walk through to get to the game….has all of their athletes enshrined there…very, very, impressive.
In the game of football where winning vs. whining is a priority, Hauck has done a good job.
Pride 315
wats your take on the beef between Bobby Hauck and da U Montana student newspaper? seems like a few girlie girly and girlie men have gone way outta their way to fight with him, even to the point of putting the other team’s coach (Cal Poly) on the cover of their GameDay for that game. the student newspaper no less. and those student newspaper peeps have blogs and their journalism professor 6 weeks ago favored his students against their now 14-0 coach. the UM prexy cannot belittle the 14-0 coach. its obvious the players are backing up their coach for backing them up, yet privately he busted up the two players and called the [victim] student’s parents, but kept it outta the press. I’m thinking about all the evil newspaper reporters out there, like the Tiger Woods drama, wanna know the names of all 40,000 hose, pictures of their parents. excluding ST of course. š
I say good for coach Hauck!
Big thanks to dcwarrior, and Tombo Ahi for posting this today.
Preliminary 2010 UH Football Roster by Class (Unofficial)
Last updated: 12/13/2009
When I looked at the player sheet, by class and by position, you can definitely see that coach has a plan. even I can see the holes.
I have hope.
Go Warriors!
d1,
I think Clarence will get his wings, too! AnnodahLiz will get wings someday, too. It’s her birthday today, so we are boogeying to wherever she wants to go. She even had fireworks for her birthday at 5 am this morning. Lucky girl!
Off we fly….latahs…
GO WAHINE!!!
GO WARRIORS!!!
Great Morning All!
Congrats again to the Wahine! š
Playing PSU in the Final Four…No sked ’em, Go get ’em!
What a game in the FCS Semis yesterday!
It’s “bowl-season”…wish the Warriors were still in it but, oh well š
Have a terrific day erryboddy!
Im looking at KingCrest Div. this year’s 1st team offense tackle T. Daniel Fleischman; I’m thinking that coach is going for the best with big time upside. i’m hoping somebody is making dat bugga breakfast in bed š taking him canoe ride Waikiki. š showing him what Hawaii is about.
š
first thing, like HA Wes said in so many odda kine words, is you gotta show up.
have a nice day errybody. gotta watch football. then do the yard. then go uck work.
If the Wahine can beat the unbeaten Penn State Team, the psychological edge they would have could carry them all the way! Let’s hope that scenario plays out because we all know that outside of the Team, Coaching staff & UH fans, few people will give the Wahine a snowball’s chance. What they can’t see is that this team is very special!
Well-written. Thanks. I have been learning a lot about Asian cooking lately. There are a lot of creative recipes using rice out there, the trick is finding one that really brings out the flavor of the rice you are using. If you’d like to see my blog it’s here. Thanks again for this blog – it is really well-done.
