Paying my union dues

It is with much regret and sadness that I will be taking a break from blogging.
Several non-bloggers — Mike Gordon, Dan Nakaso, Wayne Harada, Paul Kuromoto and Chris Neil — called for a temporary blog shutdown.
I don’t usually pay attention to those who try to direct from the shadows. (I’m still waiting for someone to say “thanks” for my previous two blog shutdowns.) But my other co-workers are my family, and in support of the six unions representing The Advertiser employees, I have agreed to take a temporary break from blogging.
The hiatus will begin tomorrow.
I will continue to have daily reports on the Warriors in the paper and online editions. I also will be following the team to Atlanta and then Florida. If there are any updates, they will be posted on the breaking news section.
In accordance with newspaper policy, I will not participate in nor promote any other site during the hiatus.
For updates on tailgate parties, cattle calls, and karaoke events, please contact Liz Kauai at (808) 482-0133, Stretch at (808) 864-3148, SteveM at (808) 537-9815.or Kekoa at (916) 996-0410.
You also may call me at (808) 525-8051 or e-mail me at sstsai@hawaii.edu for updates and additional news on Warrior football.

* * *

And our winners are:
UH football media guide (donated by Stretch) — Hawaiianbod.
• June Jones Fondation Celebrity Golf Classic program autographed by Jones, Jesse Sapolu and Reagan Mauia — Pride, who then donates it to Kekoa.
Sugar Bowl Whiteout poster — Jack Flash.
Two field passes (donated by Stretch) — Liz Kauai.
Autographed Arizona Cardinal cap (donated by MeiLing) — Florida Ted.

Call Stretch for the guide, autographed program and field passes. Call me for the cap and poster.

* * *

Here’s that autographed program:

Here’s the drawing for the field passes. The hand with the huge diamond ring belongs to JuJu. The other hand is Seryna Ko’s.

Hey, I’m just going to empty out the photo album. Here’s Liane with her prize for being a top saleswoman:

Here’s our pal Kortney, who is going on maternity leave Friday. She’s a big UH football fan:

And here’s my former Roosevelt classmate Janet, who helps run the UH Alumni Association. She was at the Pigskin Pigout. She also was on the selection committee that picked Bob Nash.

Mr. Neatnik — UH softball coach Bob Coolen — was a happy fella Saturday. It was the first volunteer clean-up day on campus. More than 100 coaches and staff did yardwork, picked up trash and painted. Coolen signed up for every category.

Back to football. Sort of. Here are the Warriors are practicing the new ha‘a.

    On a positive note, the word on the street is that when the blog resumes, Princess Leila’s videos also will return.


  18. Ralph August 24, 2008 1:38 am

  19. chawan_cut August 24, 2008 1:39 am

  31. Stephen Tsai August 24, 2008 1:44 am

  32. chawan_cut August 24, 2008 1:45 am

    Chawan cut are you coming to the cc at Mililani golf course this morning to watch the LL game…we’re meeting at or before 8:30…first come, first serve, so we got to be there early.


  34. WarriorMojo August 24, 2008 1:46 am

    Is the Princess going over for the game or is it just you and “Ferd”?


  35. BigWave96744 August 24, 2008 1:48 am

  36. chawan_cut August 24, 2008 1:49 am

    is that a special media only CNN tour?

  37. chawan_cut August 24, 2008 1:50 am

    Ralph,
    sorry no can. i won’t wake up in time, and i have to head off to a birthday party at 10 or so.
    sorry!


  38. Stephen Tsai August 24, 2008 1:52 am

    It will be just me and “Ferd.”
    He’s heading straight to Florida. I’m doing the Atlanta-Florida thing.
    Did I mention the Titanic exhibition will be at the Georgia Aquarium?


  39. Stephen Tsai August 24, 2008 1:53 am

    Nope, the tour is open to the public.


  40. stevem August 24, 2008 1:54 am

    I was going to name SteveM as one of the contacts, but I can’t find my cell, and his number is on it.


  44. chawan_cut August 24, 2008 1:58 am

    btw, i’m awake because i’m watching this great gold medal men’s basketball game. they definitely earned their gold.
    and i really thought WAC refs were the worst but FIBA refs take the cake and the whole pastry store. my goodness.


  45. Stephen Tsai August 24, 2008 1:58 am

    Hey, Al, she has a title.


  46. WarriorMojo August 24, 2008 1:59 am

    Off with his head!


  47. chawan_cut August 24, 2008 1:59 am

    is CNN in Atlanta? wait, that’s a dumb question. its a Turner thing and he owns everything there in Atlanta.


  48. Stephen Tsai August 24, 2008 2:00 am

    I hate to admit this, but I’m awake because I’m watching “Gossip Girl, Season 1” DVD.
    But I’m watching it with my middle kid, Jo, so it is quality family time.


  49. WarriorMojo August 24, 2008 2:01 am

    So ST goes by way of Atlanta to see the CNN studios and the Georgia Aquarium and I go by way of Jacksonville to kick up the dust of Lynyrd Skynyrd.


  50. WarriorMojo August 24, 2008 2:03 am

    I’m freaking out because my son has started taping the Cheetah Girls! WTH is the Cheetah Girls!?!


  51. Stephen Tsai August 24, 2008 2:04 am

    Meanwhile, my bro is going to see Springsteen in Milwaukee. He’s going to a Harley convention.


  52. WarriorMojo August 24, 2008 2:04 am

    I asked my niece and she said, “Girls who are cheetahs.”

    That was very unhelpful.


  53. WarriorMojo August 24, 2008 2:06 am

    Officially jealous of Brother Mike. That is one guy I’ve never seen in concert. I’m not sure why I didn’t check out his reunion tour with the E Street Band a couple years back.


  54. chawan_cut August 24, 2008 2:07 am

    too bad the guys are practicing in georgia. that’s a little too far away from me, mickey and goofy.
    ok, i need to sleep. i don’t need to adjust myself to florida time for a few more days.


  55. Darren August 24, 2008 2:08 am

    Mojo – Have to admit that the Cheetah Girls are pretty entertaining.


  56. WarriorMojo August 24, 2008 2:11 am

    Darren: REALLY? Well, okay, I’m pretty open minded so I’ll check it out. (Like I have a choice).


  57. Darren August 24, 2008 2:17 am

    Mojo – WARNING…it’s definitely not your kind of music, but…it’s popular with the young ones nowadays.

    So is our team as ready as it can be for the Gators?


  58. Ralph August 24, 2008 2:22 am

    Neil Diamond looked a lot better with his hair long and bushy compared to present baldness…this oldies channel adds highlights with the music and a few with pictures…


  59. 99club August 24, 2008 2:25 am

    Good morning Tsaikos!

    ST-

    Take your umbrella! National WX service now says 40% chance of thunderstorms on Saturday, high of 89. OK, gotta go work on my Haiku.

    WarriorMojo-
    Saw Springsteen in ’85 or ’86 at RFK stadium. Great show but scary the way the stands were rocking! I thought the place was going to fall apart.


  60. WarriorMojo August 24, 2008 2:35 am

    Darren, okay, thanks for the heads up.

    As for the team being ready? I wasn’t able to make practice for the past week, so I’m not sure. But I AM sure that I would feel better is we had our O-line set so the guys could start to develop cohesion.

    99, I’m jealous of you too, LOL. Springsteen puts on such a great show, I just can’t explain why I’ve never made the effort to see him.

    POMAI: You are correct – it looks like synthetic turf was a after-thought in California.

    Well if it is true that all/most states are uniform then would the c-68FF be the wrong number and should read c-61- xxxx or something like that?

    If that was the case(wrong number) then wouldn’t that make his complaint null and void?? LOL


  62. Pomai August 24, 2008 3:42 am

    Ralph from the guys I have talked to Vista isn’t that bad, the trick is you need to have at least 2gigs of ram, preferably as much as you can get as it is a resource hog. But with the max ram they seem to like it. Dang I’m just getting use to XP!! LOL BTW you can still buy a new system with XP but the catch is it cost more. Isn’t that like paying more for a 2008 model car than a 2009 LOL


  63. bighilofan2 August 24, 2008 3:48 am

    Good morning Tsaikos everywhere.

    its Sunday, just 6 days

    okay, back to SLOWDOWNSKI

    momotaro:

    August 23rd, 2008 at 11:38 pm
    tom mui,
    I’m not sure what you would call a C-68FF contractors license. It exists, and its scope of work covers the installation of synthetic turf, but it does not appear it is required by law to install synthetic turf.

    momotaro:

    August 23rd, 2008 at 11:40 pm
    bhf2,
    There will not be any temporary injunctions. DCCA has exclusive jurisdiction over appeals and work is stayed until a DCCA decision, absent a substantial interest determination.

    You were addressing Tom Mui’s #265.

    The bottom line is that all these appointed positions fall back on the Governor, her man Mark Bennett, UH Chief Procurement Officer an quasi autonomous UH Pres. David McClain and his staff of slow em downers.

    No wonder June Jones went to a place, where people like Mr. Orsini, who get things done right away, thrive. I would get outta Dodge if I was surrounded by peeps who wouldn’t back me up an make the paypahs to chop da block ah SLOWDOWNSKI. SADOWSKI.

    lessee, we so far SADOWSKI has involved the UH Post Office Building (meeting site), UH Chief Counsel, UH Associate Chief Counsel, Dep AG Rodney Tam, Bays Deaver, Lung, Rose, Holma, Pres David McClain. now DCCA. plus get Tom, Momotaro an me. Sadowski, you might as well “CC” one priest too.

    You no, all da politicians chief executive officers tell me “I know, we want to move this along as fast as ossible, but absent getting Sadowski to change his mind, the determination has to come from UH. Its semi-autonomous.”

    Crap, if June Jones was still here, and we had as many ducks lined up as we have now, and Sadowski was making the noise as he is right now, if June was still here, don’t tell me the Governor and Dave McClain wouldn’t be making the call right now!
    You know it, I know it: they would make the call.

    So gunnfunnitttt, make the call! Back up our team! It takes all of us. no make like oily liar with sly eyes.
    hoo puni puni mai, hoo palai maka. 👿

    no bachi, now its Sadowski! 👿

    oh…. have a great morning at church everyone. 😀
    Blessed Sadowski to you. 😆


  64. Pomai August 24, 2008 3:54 am

    Well loading up and heading out of the hills to watch the LL game at my friends place, understand that the Mexico team is pretty good. Should be a good game, but in the end a win for the USA. To me it is kind of amazing how these 12 year old kids can handle that kind of pressure!! To be honest I can’t even imagine what it would be like, to be playing for the world championship in front of all those fans and the millions watching on TV. My hats off to those young men!!!!!!!!!!!!


  65. MeiLing August 24, 2008 4:02 am

    Aloha Kakahiaka!!!

    Gonna miss the blog, but I’ve not been able to hang out much these days. Good luck on the contests! The AZ Cardinals visor also has Matt Leinart’s & Kurt Warner’s autographs, too.


  66. bighilofan2 August 24, 2008 4:11 am

    Mei Ling,

    Good morning. grand daughter is there now. got a call from her last evening. she likes her dorm.
    Go Malie!

    Go Warriors!!!


  67. Garret August 24, 2008 4:26 am

    I loved the CNN tour when I went to Atlanta for a conference! That was a definite must-see for Atlanta for me.


  68. Garret August 24, 2008 4:28 am

    The other tour I found really interesting was the Coca-Cola tour. Very interesting to see the history behind it, the old marketing campaigns and old bottle sizes/shapes, and I loved the free fill-ups where the soda flew 40 feet or so in the air into my cup!


  69. Garret August 24, 2008 4:35 am

    WarriorMojo,

    For a music lover like you, I’m *shocked* that you never saw Springsteen in concert! I saw him with the E Street Band and thought that was the best concert I had ever been to–amazing the energy they had during their 3-hour concert and the connection to the audience! And they have such a deep catalog of songs that there was quality music throughout the show.

    They were even better than U2 (saw in 1987), Phil Collins/Genesis (sat just 5 rows from the center of the stage–best way to see a concert at Dodger Stadium, thank goodness I complained about equipment blocking our view when we were in the seats we were supposed to be in!), and tons of local groups I’ve enjoyed.


  70. Garret August 24, 2008 4:36 am

    Kudos to Kelli and all of the non-union bloggers (like Cat in the last shutdown) who honor the blog shutdown.


  71. Garret August 24, 2008 4:46 am

    Article about Jesse Sapolu in Maui. Interesting that he has a son who is on the recruiting list for UH and SMU.

    As Jesse Sapolu put his charges through their paces at the Lahaina Rec Center field on Thursday, he couldn’t help but think of a fallen comrade.

    Sapolu – the former University of Hawaii and San Francisco 49ers great – is on Maui with the Edison High School football team from Huntington Beach, Calif., where his youngest son, Roman, is a starter on the offensive line.

    Sapolu, 47, does a lot to stay in the game that has given him so much since he graduated from Farrington in 1979 – he is an alumni director for the 49ers, and an avid supporter of his alma mater in Manoa.

    He knows the Valley Isle well and was preparing to play a round of golf in South Maui with friends later in the day.

    ”I was here for the last Super Bowl,” he said. ”The bricklayers national union had their seminar here, so I came as a guest speaker because I have four Super Bowl rings. That was the last time I was here. I enjoy Maui a lot. It is a lot more relaxing than Honolulu.”

    This week, Sapolu’s focus is on being the offensive line coach for the Chargers.

    ”We have a lot of respect for the Neighbor Island’s football and Lahainaluna was a play or two away from winning the Division II state championship (in 2007), so we don’t underestimate anybody,” Sapolu said.

    Coaching his own son is not easy.

    ”Very tough, very tough,” he said. ”Because everybody knows whose son he is and the unrealistic expectations, so to speak, and it is not fair to my son, but I want him to develop his own game. The number one thing I want him to do is enjoy the game.”

    Sapolu has a daughter who played volleyball at Chaminade and recently graduated, a son at Central Oklahoma and another son at Orange Coast Junior College, who is on the recruiting list for Hawaii, Southern Methodist and Weber State.


  72. Garret August 24, 2008 4:48 am

    Sapolu also keeps a close eye on the Warriors.

    ”I keep up, I really do,” he said. ”I went with June (Jones, Hawaii’s previous coach) and coach (Greg) McMackin to do a clinic in Samoa last month. It is good that they are all friends and help each other out. I was at the Sugar Bowl. I flew in from Cleveland, where the 49ers were playing. We were all excited. People talk about the result of the (Sugar Bowl) game, but I think it was a major step forward – for the budget, for June, for McMackin – to steal one of those BCS bids. It is a miracle to go up against schools with those kinds of budgets and that kind of backing.

    ”I think (McMackin) will continue the success. I think the strength of coach Mack and June Jones is they understand the local mentality. The local mentality is if you are successful and very respectful and you walk around with humility, they will carry you around. If you come in and you are demanding and you are arrogant, it is not something that local people take well to. I think coach Mack is the perfect fit after June.”


  73. Garret August 24, 2008 4:49 am

    Deseret News (Utah) has their WAC preview up.


  74. Garret August 24, 2008 4:50 am

    Article in a Georgia paper about 6 reasons why they love football.

    Be it high school, college or the pros, towns and venues come alive on game days and nights. Games are high church in these parts – and just about everywhere else on the U.S. map. (Thousands of University of Hawaii fans didn’t show up in New Orleans in early January for the weather.)


  75. uhfan808 August 24, 2008 4:52 am

    Hello Tsaikos, Tsaikettes, Lurkers, & Lurkettes!

    Would say good morning but sad news to hear this blog will be “out” for a l-o-o-n-n-g while.

    ST – Hope all goes well in contract negotiations and things can be pono soon. Understand too and will honor. Will look forward to seeing you and Princess Leila & her much missed videos back online!

    Florida-bound Tsaikos and Lurkers – Before I forget to say, have a nice trip and be safe!


  76. Garret August 24, 2008 4:53 am

    Article about the Hawaii link to Navy football.

    Ken Niumatalolo returned to his home state of Hawaii in January, 2004 to recruit a talented option quarterback named Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada on behalf of the Naval Academy.
    Niumatalolo never imagined that four years later he would be the head coach at Navy and Kaheaku-Enhada would be his starting quarterback.

    In fact, the hopes of Navy football for the 2008 season rest squarely on the shoulders of those two Hawaiians.

    “It’s definitely a unique situation,” Kaheaku-Enhada admitted. “I guess Coach Niumat and I have to go out and represent for Hawaii.”

    Navy’s connection to Oahu began with Johnson, who spent eight seasons as offensive coordinator at the University of Hawaii. When Johnson accepted the same position at the Naval Academy, he brought Niumatalolo along as offensive line coach. Niumatalolo had been a quarterback for the Rainbows under Johnson and got into coaching as a graduate assistant at his alma mater.

    Johnson also convinced then Navy head coach Charlie Weatherbie to hire another one of his former Hawaii players – quarterback-slot back Ivin Jasper – as an offensive assistant.


  77. Garret August 24, 2008 4:54 am

    Naturally, Niumatalolo recruits Hawaii for Navy and he will never forget his visit to the home of Kevin and Tracy Enhada, who have 12 children (10 boys, two girls).

    “Besides Kaipo’s mom, nobody had a shirt on. A couple of his brothers had just gotten back from the beach and his father had just come home from work. We all just sat around real casual-like and ate pizza,” Niumatalolo said. “Kaipo comes from a simple, hard-working family.”

    Hawaiian natives all over the country and throughout the islands will have even more reason to watch Navy now that Niumatalolo is head coach. He is the first Polynesian head coach in NCAA Division I history and the first collegiate head coach of Samoan descent at any level.


  78. uhfan808 August 24, 2008 4:55 am

    Mei Ling and Stretch –
    Mahalo for your generosity in donating such wonderful prizes! 🙂


  79. bighilofan2 August 24, 2008 5:04 am

    Go Navy!

    Go Warriors!

    And to quote Garrett’s second paragraph on
    Jesse Sapolu:

    I think (McMackin) will continue the success. I think the strength of coach Mack and June Jones is they understand the local mentality. The local mentality is if you are successful and very respectful and you walk around with humility, they will carry you around. If you come in and you are demanding and you are arrogant, it is not something that local people take well to. I think coach Mack is the perfect fit after June.”

    (uhfootball.blogspot.com). I guess we can comment on his site about games and stuff.


  88. MeiLing August 24, 2008 6:09 am

    Aloha kakahiaka, BHF2!

    What is Maile’s last name? I’ll make sure I see her at the picnic on the 31st. I don’t think she was at the dinner last night… We had about 95 people there. The kids cooked kalua pig & cabbage, teri chicken, chicken long rice (thanks, Mrs. Uno!), mac/potato salad & rice. Got to meet a student from Maryknoll!


  89. Joel August 24, 2008 6:12 am

    Traveling Hawaii Fans,
    I’m unsure whats going on with this blog so here is my phone number, 352-428-2009. If there is anything I can do to help with your visit or would like to meet, please call.

    LizKauai and BigHiloFan2, I have your contact info. Warriormojo, KapoleiWarrior, and Alnbama, it would also be nice to see you too in Gainesville.

    In closing, here is a quote from Gainesville’s Mayor speaking before leaving for the Denver Convention, “Democrats in my city and county voted overwhelmingly for Obama in the Jan. 29 primary, unlike the rest of Florida.” So, football is not the only thing the Florida Gators and Hawaii Warriors have a common.

    Go Warriors, Go Gators!


  90. 22London August 24, 2008 6:12 am

    Aloha everyone,

    Alan Price

    The will be a group driving from Yorba Linda. In fact, if you’re located in SoCal, you should contact Ronnie as she is the “lead” Tsaiko in that area. They’re pretty active and are often meeting for lunch and gossip! You can see the travel plans and more Tsaiko info on SteveM’s excellent website:

    http://home.hawaii.rr.com/smurashi/tsai-kos/

    A word of caution: Should you catch a ride on the Ronnie & Rob caravan to the Raisin-game, be prepared for non-stop singing of the Kamehameha fight song, over & over & over, and maybe a verse of 99-bottles of Boone’s Farm on the wall…. 😀 😯 😆


  100. Bulla August 24, 2008 7:17 am

    Imua Kamehameha e…..

    oh, we’re not in Ronnie’s car yet…sorry

    Player notes
    Marcus Monk – WR – Bears
    Bears waived WR Marcus Monk, DB Leslie Majors, S Josh Gattis, and WR Ryan Grice-Mullen.
    Monk, a seventh-round pick, was a project coming out of run-first Arkansas and it showed in camp as he struggled to beat the jam. He’s a candidate for the practice squad. Grice-Mullen played with Colt Brennan in college.


  103. Kekoa August 24, 2008 7:39 am

    Hi there, Ronnie! Nice to have you drop in. Sounds like you are getting ready for the games. Yee haw!

    Brew- Nice haiku!

    Go Waipio!


  109. Ronnie August 24, 2008 8:02 am

    Hi Sports!

    I can’t wait for the season to start!!! I may even have to take my boys with me to the Boise game since no one else wants to go (except Rob, but she can’t take the extra day off of work).


  110. Addahknowsports© August 24, 2008 8:08 am

    Ronnie-

    Hehehe. I can always feel your excitement in your posts on the blog. I’m guessing that once our blog clog is over we’ll be seeing a lot more of you here. Yee Haw! Have fun, girl!


  111. Ronnie August 24, 2008 8:11 am

    Sports –

    I’ve been lurking all summer, but haven’t posted much. You’re right, I’ll probably be posting a lot more once the season starts! I hope we are able to make it home for one of the games – and tailgates!

    ‘Morning, gang. Hi, ST.

    I’m all over the map this morning: Sighing over the imminent blog shutdown and preparing to head for the lifeboat. Worried over the ongoing contract issues. Going nuts getting ready for the HawaiiMoms upgrade Sept. 15. Thrilled about Waipio’s playing in the World Series in just over an hour and all of Hawaii’s other huge sports accomplishments in the past few days. Tickled by the haiku written so far. Pysch-ing up for the Swamp showdown. Etc.

    It’s only 8:20 a.m. Sunday and the brain is about to ‘plode. 🙄


  114. j!t$ August 24, 2008 8:26 am

    Here’s a haiku that is “not exactly” about UH football, but with the amount of time that Stretch is at the practices and games, he is UH football. Anyways – enjoy:

    Stretch at the golf course
    Big head driver, swing hard, BOOM!
    Ai-Yah! Slice again!


  115. Jason August 24, 2008 8:26 am

    Eh, turn out the lights
    Cause of stupid management
    Hiatus starts Monday

    Now we humbly bow
    We all missed her videos—
    Princess Leila Wai

    Stephen and Mike Tsai
    Da best writers in the land
    (Except for Kelli)

    Oh wait, Stretch isn’t the judge. Okay, that one probably won’t work. 😉

    Warriors take the field
    Da Run-N-Shoot, Ron Lee’s way
    Plus Mack’s crushing D

    Pomai: 35-27 UH.

    Happy Sunday To All –

    USA USA USA…what a great game last night!

    Sometimes life just passes us by. I finally get some time to read the blog and it goes on hiatus tomorrow. Was planning on going to Fresno on October 3, but the foundation that Rainbow Cliff works with has their annual golf tournament. (May drive up late that night.) Then a plan to drive to Fresno on Oct. 4 rang a bell…..it’s the second round of our Club Championship for the Universal Studios Golf Club I play in. UH OH….I guess I won’t be able to be club champ this year (not that I’ve ever been)….I can’t wait to see the Tsaikos in Fresno….and maybe a little side trip to Table Mountain…

    ST – totally support what you are doing. Thanks and have safe travels.


  169. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 10:08 am

    Hi Rich2176!

    Please give Rainbow Cliff a big HUG when you see him!!!

    ST, really! If I hear the announcers say “the Hawaiian team” or “the Hawaiian kids” one more time, I’m gonna … gonna … 👿


  172. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 10:16 am

    Esme- why???
    They are the US team?


  173. Rich2176 August 24, 2008 10:17 am

    Hey Liz – camera arrives tomorrow. I can’t wait!!!

    I spoke with Cliff earlier this week. He’s doing the best possible under the horrific circumstances. I’m not going into details, but please keep him in your prayers….and no, he’s not stuck in some third world country needing money. Someone hacked his hotmail account and changed the password. That has been one of the nightmares he’s going through. But, he and his wife are remaining strong.


  174. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 10:20 am

    Waipio bats are cooled off this inning.

    Rich- COOL!!!

    RAINBOW CLIFF- Beautiful, generous WARRIOR, please be assured of our prayers… ❗

  178. Garret August 24, 2008 10:24 am

    Rich,

    I’ve exchanged about 10 e-mails with Cliff over the past week…he and his wife really can use all prayers and good wishes the Tsaikos can provide!


  179. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 10:25 am

    Esme- hmmm. I thought we were the US champs -vs- the International champs.
    The TV and the announcers call us HAWAII. Even as the crowd shouts U-S-A, U-S-A!

    Announcers mention that 16 (?) Hawaii athletes are at the Olympics and 12 have medaled.

    Woo hoo!


  180. Garret August 24, 2008 10:25 am

    If I win, the 2 passes will go to my parents…that would be a dream for them! Plus, that would free up their 2 seats in the stadium for a future giveaway donation.


  181. Garret August 24, 2008 10:28 am

    My family went to Legoland and Sea Life Legoland this morning. Our Legoland passes give us free admission to Sea Life Legoland for a limited time…but even though it is free for the rest of the year for us, I do NOT think we’ll be going back. My recommendation to anyone who hears of Sea Life Legoland is to *not* go to it…Legoland is good, Sea Life Legoland (separate ticket needed) is a waste of time and money!


  182. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 10:28 am

    Nice HR by Mexico!
    3-1 HI


  183. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 10:31 am

    HI pitcher Caleb Duhay comes back from the HR with a nice out.


  184. Da Punchbowl Kid August 24, 2008 10:32 am

    Hey Cali Boys, Rich and Garret!


  185. Ronnie August 24, 2008 10:33 am

    ST, I want in!


  186. Ronnie August 24, 2008 10:35 am

    Liz, I think it was 18 athletes.

    ST, do you know how to send mass text messages from your cell? 😉


  187. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 10:40 am

    Wow… Mexico pitcher is great but his fielders are sleeping.


  188. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 10:41 am

    Thanks, Ronnie!

    Garret- re legoland sea- mahalo.

    Mexico Infield dee just woke up!


  189. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 10:42 am

    OH- beautiful BUNT and advance!


  190. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 10:44 am

    Now another beautiful play on a wild pitch. Waipio is playing smartly and the coaches are getting a lot of praise for their skill.

    Mexico coach is trying to get his kids to settle down and have fun.

    Kainoa Fong is at bat.


  191. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 10:45 am

    why am I blogging the game???

    habit… (shakes head…)


  192. Garret August 24, 2008 10:46 am

    Hi DPK!

    Liz, I thought I should post my experience with Sea Life Legoland before the blog went dark…the sad thing is that my kids were really looking forward to it and it did not live up to their expectations.

    Seaworld is lucky that Sea Life Legoland isn’t a big competitor to them for the fish and other exhibits. Of course, Seaworld could be sold soon so who knows how they would change.


  193. NEO August 24, 2008 10:47 am

    I’m IN for the field Passes…

    And here’s my haiku 5-7-5 syllable…

  196. Ronnie August 24, 2008 10:51 am

    Garret,

    Sea Life Legoland wants to compete with Seaworld? Yikes!n I just figured it would be more like Legoland but with a marine theme.


  197. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 10:53 am

    (bowing to NEO)… wow


  198. NEO August 24, 2008 10:57 am

    eh tanks eh Liz… 🙂 so I get the Cap den?


  199. NEO August 24, 2008 11:00 am

    Another Haiku…about Waipio

    Waipio keiki
    play on for the love of sport
    Sons of Hawaii

    not bad eh?


  200. Esme August 24, 2008 11:00 am

    Liz … the thing is that Mainland media almost always use “Hawaiian” incorrectly. They’re not aware that the word technically refers to an ethnicity. Even the “bible” of journalism style, the Associated Press Stylebook, says:

    Hawaiians are members of an ethnic group indigenous to the Hawaiian Islands and are also called Native Hawaiians. Use “Hawaii resident” for anyone living in the state.

    I know that it rankles some of my Native Hawaiian friends when they hear “Hawaiian” being used generically this way. So it would be more proper if the announcers said, “Hawaii boys” and “Hawaii team.”

    🙂


  201. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 11:00 am

    NEO- uh- one of me does not equal the twins… Bwahahaha!

    Esme- thanks. You should see how I cringe every time I have to type “Redskins”…


  204. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 11:05 am

    Esme- all the LLWS party bloggers are standing by with their cell phones for the # to get close to 250. With this blog’s batch loading system, I betcha we either go down or find a message dump of 40 posts when we get to 240…

    As I understand it, management is going to shut off the comments section at midnight. That actually makes sense.

    ST- the MANAGEMENT is shutting down the comments section?
    Now it sounds like a lockout and not a strike.

    Does that change your obligation to be silent in other venues???

    August 24th, 2008 at 1:58 am
    I was going to name SteveM as one of the contacts, but I can’t find my cell, and his number is on it.

    If anyone really wants to talk to me, please us my home/business phone (808) 537-9815. I may not be home to answer, so please leave a message.

    I can check my gmail account wherever I am during the day, so you may email me at: stevem.hnl@gmail.com if it is time-sensitive.

    GO WAIPIO !!!

  227. Stretch August 24, 2008 11:16 am

    NEO – seen the post but I am not the one picking the winner. It will be juju later tonight.

    Re: Field Passes
    Due to the limit of the amount of spectators allowed on the field, and our late notice, there are only 3 games available to choose from. Weber State, La Tech or Idaho, all other games are filled. Whoever wins, needs to contact me and I will put in the request for the game desired.


  228. Garret August 24, 2008 11:16 am

    Ronnie,

    Sea Life Legoland has small and large aquariums, places where kids can touch starfish and hermit crabs, and a film on underwater life. It is basically a smaller and not-as-good version of those Seaworld exhibits. But no rides, no animal shows, no feeding the animals, and everything is in one fairly small building…NOT worth the $15-$20 they are hoping to charge for admission!


  229. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 11:16 am

    Wow- phone number, addresses… are Tsai-kos dedicated or WHAT???


  230. Ronnie August 24, 2008 11:17 am

    Melila Purcell had 5 solo tackles last night in Cleveland’s loss to Detroit. Ikaika Alama-Francis had 1 assisted tackle.


  231. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 11:17 am

    Cool- Stretch has connections 😉


  232. Stretch August 24, 2008 11:18 am

    There are some really good haikus on the blog today! I’m not going to even try to think of something…I just got 50 pages of junk sent to me by a marketing firm and I have to send in a proposal draft based on that material in just a few days! If I miss the deadline then I give up a shot at a huge contract. At least I get paid to do this work…

    When I get too bored with work I’ll check back here. I figure I have no shot at being post #250…I bet there are a lot of people waiting to win that contest!


  238. NEO August 24, 2008 11:20 am

    Do you realize how amazing you guys and girls are?!?! I’m sitting at my computer in an empty office, (everyone else at lunch) and I feel like I’m right there with all of you. Bless each and every one of you!

    Hawaiian Bod is the winner. OK, since I suck at distribution, I’m going to let Stretch deliver it. I’ll give it to him tomorrow, to give to you.


  271. brew808 August 24, 2008 11:29 am

    Hiya Ronnie! – Great! Maybe we should say 3pm – then the stragglers can trickle in…. whenever. My pals have picked up the concept of Hawaiian Time!. Hey, all any other Tsaikos/lurkers are welcome. It’s still early, so please check SteveM’s awesome website for updates!

    I have always associated Fresno with lower California but looking at the map now…dunno. 😕

    Also, was that entry last night with the string of “hhhhhh” a real post, or the SteveM verson of dozing off on the keyboard and with the eye-glasses hitting the “Submit” button?

    Mrs. A-House was so freaked out she didn’t change the moniker from Midori to Mrs. A-House. So solly !

    Haiku is from Mrs. A-House.

    I think this haiku should be disqualified. Gators to conquer?? Come on…..


  295. Stretch August 24, 2008 11:52 am

    Okay, Mrs A-House is disqualified!!


  296. Ronnie August 24, 2008 11:52 am

    10-3!!!!


  297. Stephen Tsai August 24, 2008 11:54 am

    Brent Hamburger said HA is an O‘ahu paper. In fact, it is the state’s only daily newspaper (we sell subscriptions on the non-O‘ahu islands, too).
    I tell that to Derek Inouchi all of the time, and he gives me that Geoffe look like he understands, but still lists HA as only an O‘ahu newspaper.
    (Geoffe is my dog.)


  298. Ronnie August 24, 2008 11:54 am

    Love the chant in the background!

    ST – I want in too! 🙂


  301. Ronnie August 24, 2008 11:56 am

    Ok, now I feel sorry for the Mexico team. They are falling apart.


  302. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 11:57 am

    ExtremeSkins message board- the Hawaii guys are saying mellow things about the game- chin up – no trash the team… making nice for Jason Campbell… showing aloha and team spirit… making a good impression on the ‘Skins fans.


  303. Stretch August 24, 2008 11:57 am

    Ronnie – no feel sorry yet, wait until the game pau. Remember what Hawaii did yesterday to LA.


  304. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 11:58 am

    haha- Kymry!!

    btw- can I share those pix you sent on my blog? Tsai-kos will all be lining up to be your friend…


  305. Hawaiianbod August 24, 2008 11:59 am

    Fresno is indeed in Central California. It’s the “arm pit” of Cali(fits the City well). I went to college there back in the dayz. You got to give it to their community. They really support their team.


  306. brew808 August 24, 2008 11:59 am

    Good try guys! Fresno…. Raisin country, raisin brand, maybe prune juice too, tule fog…. Nah Ronnie It’s all yours.

    Wait, doesn’t Rob have family in the “Central Valley”? That makes her defacto “Raisin” Ruler” and Tsaiko “bulldawg” sitter!

    Yeah WAIPIO!!! 😀 😯 😆

    SteveM

    How is your sleep apnea problem? Are you on C-PAP, what is the pressure setting? Since I got the the C-PAP and got used to the nasal pillows I don’t doze off during the day unless I ‘ve eaten to much food and gotten the Polynesian Paralysis. First time I got the C-PAP machine, I could not use the mask, it felt like something was choking me. My doctor suggested that I try the nasal pillows and that did the trick. The only drawback is if you have a tendency to open your mouth to breathe when you sleep, then it will not work.


  308. brew808 August 24, 2008 12:02 pm

    Okay… H-Bod AND Rob get “Central Valley”?

    Yeah WAIPIO!!! 😀 😯 😆

    ST- one of my buddies used to work for da odda papah here on Kauai. He liked to investigate political stuff. He went after some sunshine, didn’t get backup from his papah, ended up leaving, and den dat papah stopped delivering to Kauai.
    Kinda junk, I thot.
    But ainokea anymoah.


  312. addahknowjoe August 24, 2008 12:03 pm

    Curious:

    at every commercial break during this LL World Series there’s always a drunk driving commercial plug. Is there allot of drunk drivers that attend or watch LLWS? More than say, the Super Bowl? Boy, this LL game is rowdier than I thought.


  313. 99club August 24, 2008 12:04 pm

    Stretch: Will email you as soon as I have a count from our group. Will try and call the others today and find out. They are going from Kauai to Napa on their annual wine buying trip and meeting us in PDX…not sure if they even made their hotel resies yet…don’t know if they have a car or what but will find out.


  317. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 12:06 pm

    “Kekoa at (916) 996-0410.”

    Area Code 916?

    I didn’t know that the ceded lands of Kapolei had their own area code. Would I incur long distance charges?


  322. HiFlyer August 24, 2008 12:11 pm

    I wonder how the gang is doing over at Nancys, haven’t heard anything from them yet.


  323. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 12:13 pm

    HiFlyer- jes talked to Kekoa- they are watching and eating and yellin!


  324. KaimukiKid August 24, 2008 12:14 pm

    Losing my mind, getting too excited hearing/reading about Waipio. Don’t have access to TV reading reports of the LLWS here thanks


  325. Stephen Tsai August 24, 2008 12:15 pm

    I didn’t even get permission to use Kekoa’s number.
    But as Jim Leahey always says: “It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.”


  326. Pride. August 24, 2008 12:15 pm

    Hiflyer,

    It’s been three hours since they got there. I’m not sure f they can read anymore.


  327. not far away anymore August 24, 2008 12:15 pm

    I want in.

    What a game by the Waipio Little Leaguers. Hawaii up 12-3 going into the bottom of the sixth inning. The Hawaii kids are some great base runners. How many times have they made the heads up play and advanced an extra base?


  328. brew808 August 24, 2008 12:17 pm

    Waipio – Three and out boys!!! 😀 😯

  329. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 12:17 pm

    KK- ok.. will blog more then.

    Waipio is now lucky and Mexico needs to get it together. They are making lots of errors.
    The last HI batter advanced on what should have been an easy throw to first from his infield grounder. The catch was missed, HI scored and the hitter moved to 2nd.


  330. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 12:18 pm

    Duhay has 7 pitches left and going all the way.


  331. Pride. August 24, 2008 12:18 pm

    I didn’t even get permission to use Kekoa’s number.
    But as Jim Leahey always says: “It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.”

    Thanks ST. Good one for all of the married guys.


  332. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 12:20 pm

    ahem – I hope they are counting pitches and pull Duhay out when he gets to the max.

    umm… ST- did you ask me about posting my cell??? I musta been asleep.


  333. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 12:22 pm

    Duhay leaves the mound to a standing O.
    Donahue will relieve.
    1 out in the 6th.

    HI 12, Mexico 3


  334. Stretch August 24, 2008 12:22 pm

    ST – maybe you should have posted the phone numbers of single people, then you can help be a “matchmaker”.


  335. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 12:24 pm

    C-Boy throws a couple balls,
    A grounder to 2nd – thrown out at 1st. (runner on 2nd stayed put).
    2 down


  336. SteveM August 24, 2008 12:24 pm

    clayton miyahara — welcome to the blog and thanks for asking. I am not taking formal treatment since my HMO copayments are too high in my case. Been getting better somewhat…not getting too sleepy in the day except for polynesian paralysis cattle calls. But I still doze off at home leaning back in my chair while using the computer. 🙂

    Congrats to the Waipio warriors. My teenage daughter wanted me to wake her up this morning to watch the game. You know there was excitement in Hawaii when my daughter wanted to give up a Sunday sleep in to watch the game.

    The poetry bug is in the air!

    http://www.homermcfanboy.com/2008/08/22/hall-of-fame-contest/
    “Write a poem (100 words or less) about your favorite current Redskins player. The player has to be on the roster as of this weekend’s Carolina Panthers preseason game, August 23.

    This is all about the players and why that particular player is your favorite guy on the roster.

    Also, here’s a few helpful hints:
    – Bonus points will be awarded for funny. That’s pretty self-explanatory.
    – Bonus points will be awarded for featuring lesser known Redskins players (meaning a “Might Casey at the Snap” poem about Rabach will do better than 100 words on Clinton Portis playing dress-up).
    – Realize that the winner’s entry will be posted on the site. So if you’re sending an entry, you’re giving your consent for us to post it.

    … we’ll be giving away one Hall of Fame John Riggins McFarlane collectible free to the contest winner. ”
    *****
    My entry is in the spirit of the WB today. But i know there are a lot of talented folks here. Only proper that a Hawaii fan should win :mrgreen: so please go for it…
    Funny is better!

    Afternoon Tsai-kos!

    Congratulations to da keeds from Waipio! You represented yourselves and the state extremely well.

    Esme – agree 100% with da “Hawaiian” reference. You didn’t hear them referring to the MEXICAN team or the LOUISIANAN (sp?) team. I wish dey would just cut it out. I always cringe everytime a Mainland announcer does that. In fact, I’m so used to BC, RK, Papa Leahy, the Robbs, McLachlin, Eldredge and Wilson, da Mainland guys sound so … so… cr$$py.

    Have a great Sunday guys.

    PS How come we had to wait till tonight to see the VB game?

    Nah 1,000 is impossible.


  402. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 2:10 pm

    ????SERIOUSLY????

    Is that a good thing?
    hmmm. Let’s get to 500 first and then see what happens.

    I’m listening to Coach Zorn 8/24 press conference
    http://www.redskins.com/

    Is Colt the luckiest rookie QB in the NFL, or what???


  407. Pride. August 24, 2008 2:12 pm

    Congrats to all of the young men on the Waipio baseball team. Congratulations to you and all of your families, and remember to thank your parents for their hard work and sacrifice with helping you to acheive your goals.


  408. 702WarriorNation August 24, 2008 2:12 pm

    Congrats to Waipio LL World Champions players and coaches!

    ST #403 – Please, lord, let there be installed a newer/faster/user-friendly server… while the WB is on “vacation”.

  413. Pride. August 24, 2008 2:15 pm

    g-day everybody!

    tsaiko’s all support
    the Warriors ha’a on
    WAC champs and Bowl games


  415. Stephen Tsai August 24, 2008 2:16 pm

    Family members are welcome.
    However, we’re going to restrict media members (Leila is out, but Faye is in) and members of the UH coaching staff (Craig Stutzmann is out but his relatives are in).
    That seems fair.


  416. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 2:16 pm

    Pride.
    The night is still young. 1000 by Midnight would be a statement.


  417. HiFlyer August 24, 2008 2:17 pm

    Pride. – hows about 750 or 800, you think that doable.


  418. Stephen Tsai August 24, 2008 2:17 pm

    Liz:
    Therein lies the irony. They actually were set to upgrade the system when I was summoned to duty.
    Anyone else sensing somebody’s hesitation?


  419. al August 24, 2008 2:18 pm

    cmon you all….let get to a thousand!

    this i gotta see!
    and we could do it at genji’s atop the small stage that they got.
    and the twins could do the honors.
    then we will take pix with him and bulla.
    then we could paint their domes like a warrior football helmet.
    you know like the one that mike’s girl wouldn’t give to me.

    we have until midnight folks. let’s do this.


  420. jojo ® August 24, 2008 2:18 pm

    oh goody, I’m eligible. Ok, back to work for me.


  421. al August 24, 2008 2:21 pm

    st….oh, yes i forgot its princess leila.
    princess leila
    princess leila

    so what would we call her if she gets married?


  422. al August 24, 2008 2:22 pm

    hiflyer are you throwing your name in the hat for hair repalcement at 750?


  423. Pride. August 24, 2008 2:23 pm

    Al. I was just joking. I don’t want to be bald. I think one very intelligent Tsai-ko showing off his dome is plenty enough.

    How’s about if we reach 1,000 then I will commit to sing the National Anthem at Aloha Stadium.


  424. De lurker August 24, 2008 2:23 pm

    I want in.

  436. Da Punchbowl Kid August 24, 2008 2:30 pm

    Pride,

    You didn’t say which hair you would shave bald. So here’s a loophole if we hit 1,000. Just shave your armpits bald and keep your honor. Besides that will give you more confidence when you’re wearing sleeve-less tops. 😆


  437. HiFlyer August 24, 2008 2:31 pm

    al – not at all, I was just commenting to pride. that if we don’t make 1000 we could make it to 750 or 800.


  438. Pride. August 24, 2008 2:31 pm

    Thanks for the offer Stretch, but if you standing on da field then the food booths are really far away.


  439. Pride. August 24, 2008 2:32 pm

    so, ST- I say it again… are they doing a lockout or is the blog hardware getting an upgrade? or what?
    ahhh… mebbe you cannot discuss such matters here…. :light:


  460. Committed Road Warrior August 24, 2008 2:41 pm

    @al,

    I still have an extra ticket, unless Stretch and co. have already assigned my ticket to someone else in need. I’ll check with him to see if this is the case. If not, I get extra ticket. How many tickets you need?


  461. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 2:41 pm

    REDZONE!!!


  462. Pride. August 24, 2008 2:41 pm

    I hope that JD is not Jim Donovan. Shame if the A.D. would have to come on the blog and beg for a sideline pass.

  475. Jason August 24, 2008 2:46 pm

    Oh yeah — and if we reach 1,000, I will give Pride. all the math lessons he ever needs. Since when does post #430 mean there are 571 posts to go? 😉


  476. brew808 August 24, 2008 2:46 pm

    al-ski – I followed Stretch’s instructions and got my room at the PDX Radisson via PriceLinedotcom. That was in June, but I got a rate of $45/night plus taxes and fees. I even got “Travel Insurance” for $5/night! Worth trying…. 😀


  477. HiFlyer August 24, 2008 2:47 pm

    LizK – remember clock management no like score to fast.


  478. stacyj August 24, 2008 2:47 pm

  479. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 2:47 pm

    ST- when do you leave for the funeral? May we ask, whose?


  480. Garret August 24, 2008 2:47 pm

    To help with the comments, I thought I’d bring something up. I noticed in Mack’s comments at the WAC media day that something he said seemed to be a criticism of Colt speaking up about the soap problem. Was this a shot at Colt?

    I asked one of our players, I asked a kid named Rocky, because he’s a leader, he’s a big kid, how do you think the team will take riding commercial. He goes, “Coach, I think that’s great because we’re going to meet more people,more fans, and they’re going to know we’re not dumb football players.”

    The players don’t complain

    Colt griped about the soap, nobody else did.


  481. Stephen Tsai August 24, 2008 2:48 pm

    Hey, Liz, I can’t discuss such matters here.
    However, I’ll work on my mental telepathy, and when you pick up the signal, you can call jm2375.


  482. MeiLing August 24, 2008 2:48 pm

    Mahalo, ST!

    Server OVERLOAD!


  492. Jason August 24, 2008 2:50 pm

    Garret: I never had a problem with it, because if there was ever a player to talk about it, it was Colt. Anybody else, I would have said he should keep his mouth shut. But Colt could run for President of the United States and he would carry Hawai‘i’s electoral votes. He had the power, and more importantly, he had the right attitude in doing it.


  493. Stephen Tsai August 24, 2008 2:50 pm

    Liz:
    I think we’re leaving for the funeral in about an hour.
    It’s for Wena’s uncle, Bill Chung. He used to be a police commissioner, and co-owner of Twentieth Century Furniture.
    Wena’s cousin, Dr. Mark Chung (the Surfing Doc) is going to sing.
    For some reason, nobody asked me to sing. Darn mail. Invitation got lost again.


  494. stacyj August 24, 2008 2:51 pm

    Am I really on at the same time that ST is posting? I feel honored.

    Hi everyone! I have to admit that I haven’t read all the posts but noticed a particular person not around. Did I miss something???

    See you guys on the lifeboat!


  507. Garret August 24, 2008 2:52 pm

    Now I’ve got to figure out how to book a flight to DC for next month that has decent travel times and isn’t going to cost too much…I just spent an hour trying to use miles for my business partner and me and nothing good happened. Prices are actually reasonable…but not for the times I need to travel.

    I’ll be back when I can to help get the blog to 1000! I think SteveM mentioned that the blog broke 1000 a couple of times already, so that wouldn’t be a record.


  508. LizKauai [Believer] August 24, 2008 2:52 pm

    Congrats, Pride.


  509. Stephen Tsai August 24, 2008 2:53 pm

    Okay, okay, enough joking with the big man. Otherwise, I’ll be a dead man.

  515. Pride. August 24, 2008 2:54 pm

    Tsai if you don’t mind, I would like to pay it forward to Kekoa who would know what to do with it without me telling him.

    Hi Rich! Sadly, I haven’t even gotten my tix for Raisin-land yet. I’m planning on buying directly from FSU site, asking for section near UH/visitors. I can easily accommodate you if Ronnie/Rob don’t have a spare. Sorry- I thought ST was taking care of you….. 😀 Just let me know….


  531. Ronnie August 24, 2008 3:05 pm

    The big alumni road party will be in Fresno.
    It makes it easier for the Fresno people to give us parking in murderer’s row.
    We used to get annoyed that we had to park so far away (cue the violin music). But then we learned that Derek made the Fresno writers park in a galaxy far, far away.

    Ronnie – Yeah, I didn’t have a head count and didn’t want to impose on anyone with a large block of seats. Plus, seats were available the last time I checked. Hey remember Reno…. There was this crazy wahine that wouldn’t sit down and stop cheering….. I think I have a permanent hearing loss….. 😀 😯 😆

    Got a chance to meet Greg Alexander this summer. I was glad to hear that he was a quarterback. I would feel really bad for Hawaii’s opponents if he were an H-Back that we would use like a tight end. Can’t imagine any safety or corner trying to tackle him downfield.

    OUCH!

  565. Kekoa August 24, 2008 3:31 pm

    Wow you guys…I’m just returning from being out and about celebrating the big LLWS win by Waipio and I find out some really awesome events have surfaced!

    ~ First off, I’ll be fielding cell calls to my phone # in Central Cal. to tell peeps whuzzup in Hawaii. (Huh?) My neighbors always thought I was Tsaiko before I returned to the ceded lands!

    ~ I witness the winning of the LLWS by Waipio – IN – Waipio!

    ~ I find out that Pride has forwarded a prize to me – What a guy!…and yes, you are correct my friend, I know who to give it to.

    ~ Now that most of my slate is cleared I only have 3 things left on my ‘to do’ list:

    (1) Get in the Life Boat.

    (2) Get those UH Posters out to Liz, Florida Ted, and Pomai.

    (3) Win the game in ahhhh…what’s the name of that stinky swamp again?…Oh – right Gay-torville.

    GO WARRIORS!


  566. not far away anymore August 24, 2008 3:32 pm

    Just one thousand posts
    Pride becomes one bolo head
    Tsaikos can do it

    and one about the Warriors

    We all still believe
    Warriors will win the WAC
    Mack will show us how

    Got back home in time to catch the 5th inning of the LLWS. Akau pulled off one of the most beautiful catches ever! 😮 Guys in the majors probably stood up and applauded. And with all the pressure and all in the 6th, the young guys fielded and threw with skill. I kneel and bow to the team, the support team of parents and relatives, and the coaches that guided them. CONGRATULATIONS!

    SteveM

    Was that the co-pay for the doctor’s visit and follow up or for the C-PAP machine itself? I believe that already did the sleep study, so the Sleep Specialist will assign you a C-PAP machine which will be adjusted by a ttech or can be done by yourself. Actually, after I watched the tech adjust the machine I can do it for myself if need be. I believe a C-PAP machine can purchased for around $400.00 and they are pretty sturdy, I have been using mine for about 3 years now and I have gone through maybe two hose changes and two sponge filter changes ( the filters are washable). I have since seen the Sleep Specialist once every 6 months. I understand that renting a machine without a good medical plan can be cost prohibitive. You might want to look into purchasing a machine. I used to doze several times a day before and almost fell asleep at the wheel a couple of times and I don’t drink. The first time I got to sleep with the C-PAP on through the night I actually felt refreshed for the first time in a long long time. I recomend you try it…

    Not sure if this was already answered, but any final word on who will be redshirting this season?

    Heard a mention of my boy Paipai Falemalu? Hmm…would like to see him have four solid years of PT so maybe red-shirting would be good since we are deep at LB. On the other hand he is really that good and could help us this season no doubt! He is definitely going to be a star soon!

    No practice today, but I hope the boys remain focused and get things solidified before the upcoming game. Hope all the knicks and knacks heal up quickly for everyone it applies to. Corey Paredes moving to be the big back…5’11 230 lbs…not bad size, hope he does well. Wish speedy recoveries though to Heun and Farmer, and the rest of the wounded Warriors!

Russia took third place in both with 23 gold medals and 72 total. Michael Phelps had more gold medals than all but 8 countries.

    bighilo….just a little help here. only because my japanese blood is pouring out to explain this haiku stuff.

    it is written like free prose without rhyme nor reason.

    but, it is recorded in three lines. the first line get 5 syllables, the next one get 7 syllables, and the last one get 5 syllables.

    here again is the winning haiku:

    “Tsaikos tailgating
    the Aloha is rocking
    Warrior football!”

    Warriors marching
    with one mind, one heart, one soul,
    Victory is near.

    Kekoa,

    Love those Waipio kids, what a great bunch, just like the ones fom 05.

    From Ferd’s column…

    “So, basically , the season opener (against Hawaii) is a preseason game for Florida and the Gators should already be scheming for Miami…”

    Okay – This has been an awesome couple of weeks for sports in Hawaii. Let’s take a quick poll. Which event would you rank as the most outstanding accomplishment?
    1 – Michael Phelps swims for 8 gold medals including 7 world records in the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
    2 – Usain “Lightening” Bolt cruises to three gold medals including world records in 100m and 200m at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
    3 – Chinese women’s gymnast cheat (IMHO) to win the team gold medal (and uneven bars).
    4 – A dozen Athletes with Hawaii ties win medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
    5 – Amazing opening ceremonies for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
    6 – JC transfer Brent Rausch wins the starting QB spot for UH, then has to sit out with a “tired arm”. JC transfer Greg Alexander takes over as #2, ahead of local favorite Inoke Funaki.
    7 – Waipio LL demonstrate the very essence of “TEAM” and Good Sportsmanship while winning the 2008 LLWS Championship!

    What you guys think? Did I miss anything? 😀 😯 😆


  621. Pauoa Boy August 24, 2008 4:30 pm

    if the judges never snub our USA gymnastics girls we would garrans have more gold medals than that…

    ST – True on the box. I’m sure it’s a lot more congenial in there this year. Sure wish I could have made it to the swamp. Too much work this week and a possible NYC trip the following week….yikes…

    Yes, ST has worked with “Ferd” for 20 years and had no idea where “Ferd” grew up. Margo should be an investigative reporter. She’ll ask more questions in a minute and get answers. (Of course maybe it’s a guy thing that we don’t ask those kind of questions…lol)

    Okay, is anyone coordinating anything for Fresno? Perhaps a Tsaiko breakfast or lunch on Saturday for those who are already there….Once I figure out the name of the hotel we’re staying at, I’ll ask SteveM to post it on his site.


  623. al August 24, 2008 4:32 pm

    not so far…. could be eh? the web gem of the day.

    and takonuga’s two run blast could be one of the day’s highlights.

    ……
    actually at the fourth inning when we started getting to the mexico ace, saucedo and his stare vanished i told the family its over. the heart of the mexico team just gave up. unfortunately, they are youngsters, but as an ex-coach one could notice that was the beginning of the end.

    just gotta love the great job these boys did and yes the supporting cast of parents, siblings, and relative made a significant contribution. and how about all the new found hawaiians with the blue eyes.

    there were many leaders on this team but i believe that they would not have won without tokunaga’s clutch play and will to win. he seemed to keep the team going.

    but, my hats off to the way the coaches handled this team. kiha akau has been one of the best youth coaches around in the past two decades. i know i had two kids play for him.

    ….nuff said

    As you can see above, your haiku is a thinly veiled plagarism of my earlier posted one.

  633. madeinhawaii August 24, 2008 4:40 pm

    Brew808,

    I think Bryan Clay’s decathalon Gold stands in a category of it’s own. The number of points he lead by going into the final 1500 meter race was enough to assure him the Gold if he simply walked the 1500 and finished it. That’s ten events over two days.

    The little league’s victory was sweet and involved more “relatives” than Clay, and may be more popular in that respect, but both demonstrated how determination, preverance, belief, faith, and sheer will can make the underdog tower over it’s rivals.

    It’s amazing how many respectable athletes come out of the islands. And who knows? Maybe the next president, eh?

    If you folks still planning to go Shari’s in Portland, my report (although I didn’t actually go to the one on Airport Way by PDX)

    go to the website ( http://www.sharis.com ) and study the menu ’cause it’s large. Sounds like you folks not going have much time so you better have an idea of what you want.
    Breakfast stuff we tried:
    the corned beef Benedict was pretty good (but they serve the English muffins on the side);
    the Cinnama-sation French toast is good (had the breakfast platter); skillet breakfasts are worthy.
    Other stuff:
    bbq burger better than philly steak burger
    pot roast skillet dinner is good
    apple pie is good
    prime rib french dip good at one location (McMinnville), not so hot at another (Newberg)
    fish and chips – only two pieces of fish, cole slaw was so-so
    coffee is pretty good

    Service is good. All locations we went this time staff was friendly and competent. (The only time this was different was at the Pendleton location a few years ago but you ain’t gettin’ nowhere near that one, so it don’t matter a hoot [accent added for effect])

    Pauoa Boy,
    Honestly I think our girls lost the team championship mostly on their own. They really didn’t do well on the floor exercise. In the event competition there was definitely some shady judging. I think I read somewhere that the home team normally gets a little bit of a boost in the judging. It apparently happened in Atlanta, Sydney, and Athens too. Some of the judging in the event competition wasn’t a boost, it was outright cheating IMHO. Either way a pretty good showing by both the U.S. and China.

    getting closer to 500.

    I do not keep a formal record of comment count, except I recorded 1,011 comments on Da Punchbowl Kid’s bio day on September 8, 2007.

    I recall surpassing 1,000 two other times later. BUT, we have not topped 1,000 since moving to this new bog format, so even making 900 would be significant.

    We can do 1,000 today — especially if prideperiod’s involved — after all, he was the one who placed the moon over ST head’s in the Tsai-ko Caricature 😆

    August 24th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
    I WANT IN!
    Congrats Waipio!
    Haiku:
    mud lizard crawling
    from the murky swamp it comes
    to get its ass kicked

    _______________________________________________________________

    Jack Flash-
    I was a shoo-in for best haiku, and you had to go and post THAT! ARRRGH!!!


  706. BG August 24, 2008 5:49 pm

    Charles

    Like A-Joe said…Genji’s on King St by Washington School. 6 am. Great food and even greater company. (note: bring ear plugs cuz the decibel level gets kinda high)


  707. radopps411 August 24, 2008 5:49 pm

    wow…i think i lurked for too long!!!


  708. SteveM August 24, 2008 5:50 pm

    Al — if you think you might go to the Oregon State game, Committed Road Warrior might have a ticket for you, brew or mojo might have room if don’t snore 😛 , and Stretch might put you on da bus… 😆

    …all you have to do is handle the breakfast tailgate and cattle calls. See:

    http://home.hawaii.rr.com/smurashi/tsai-kos/away08.html

    Gee…organized, yeah?


  709. Thomas Mui August 24, 2008 5:50 pm

    About to go over the 700 mark!

    KAIMUKIKID/STEVEM:

    The C-PAP machine was rented and paid for by HSMA/Medicare. But after two or so years, then I got noticed by them that I had to purchase it – I don’t recall the amount but it was comparatively nominal.

    It was checked once after I got it. But my MD for the sleep anea had closed up shop as he was lecturing and doing medical work in China for most of the year.


  710. radopps411 August 24, 2008 5:51 pm

    oh…almost forgot…

    I WANT IN!!!

    and ST should go back to teaching!!!


  711. Stretch August 24, 2008 5:51 pm

    oooops, Jack Flash’s prize is the SB Whiteout Poster. Sorry.


  712. Da Punchbowl Kid August 24, 2008 5:52 pm

    New rule:
    You cannot win more than one prize. Jack’s haiku is ineligible!!! Mwaaaahahahahahaha!!!


  713. XxFaithxX August 24, 2008 5:52 pm

    Aloha ST,

    I want in.

    Sorry so late to the party, so what we trying for 1k? Should be Duck Soup =)


  714. addahknowjoe August 24, 2008 5:54 pm

    al-

    I grad same year as Esme. That was a good vintage year.


  715. Pride. August 24, 2008 5:54 pm

    Anyway. Before I go.

    The quest for a thousand posts is just my way of trying to motivet us to show our support for ST and the rest of his buddies. A thousand posts looked like something that impossible at 2:00 P.M. this afternoon. But anything is possible when you put a group of people together and they work as a team.

    They can reach 1,000 posts in a day.

    They can beat a number 1 ranked SEC team.

    They can stick together after a period with no Warrior Beat.

    Tsai has built up a humongous ship that keeps rolling, and just like in business and in sports, there’s someting called the big Mo. Big Mo stands for momentum. Momentum is the key in sports as well as in business.

    As Tsai-kos we need to keep the momentum going. Get on our lifeboats and stay in contact. Continue doing all the great things that we as Tsai-kos do. Lots of talent here. We select A.D.’s, get rid of A.D.’s, put grass on fields that don’t have grass, mobilize travel to away games, plenty talent.

    Let’s keep it going.

    Go Warriors beat Florida.

    Remember the mantra.

    Do it right and do it 100%.
    Do it right and do it 100%
    Do it right and do it 100%

    Do dat…and no can lose.


  716. radopps411 August 24, 2008 5:57 pm

    anyone else notice how everyone at ESPN refers to the West Oahu LL as E-Wah Beech?


  717. Thomas Mui August 24, 2008 5:57 pm

    UH may be announcing a charitable trust gift that has been tentatively appraised at 1.7 to 1.9m which is solely for the football team – announcement probably within a month.

    Of course I don’t know how quickly UH will get around to it – they can’t even see that the objection to the Ching/Cooke field turf is a bunch of baloney!


  718. djmitcho August 24, 2008 5:57 pm

    If I post the fantasy football draft results pick by pick, we can go over 1000.


  719. Jack Flash August 24, 2008 6:00 pm

    Stretch- Thanks! I think I saw a copy of that poster in the Lids store at Windward Mall- looks awesome. I live in Kailua, but will be in town tomorrow morning if you like meet up.
    DPK- Eh brah, no be all huhu just cause my haiku was unreal…


  720. Thomas Mui August 24, 2008 6:00 pm

    A Question for our special and esteem guest HF:

    Is Temple University about to abandon its football team?


  721. Thomas Mui August 24, 2008 6:01 pm

    AL: how come you dont want to ask your guest questions?


  722. WarriorMojo August 24, 2008 6:01 pm

    Decisions, decisions:

    Sitting with Hawaii fans in the booney sections at the Swamp or getting better seats behind the Hawaii team bench but in the middle of the Gator fans?


  723. jojo ® August 24, 2008 6:02 pm

    I hope Stephen Tsai remembered to tell JuJu that she was picking a winner.


  724. BG August 24, 2008 6:03 pm

    Welcome rapopps411…we all having a farewell party…blog shutting down after midnight. But, be sure and join us in the life boat. Hmmm, LizK posted the link a little while ago…maybe someone will post it again.

  725. addahknowjoe August 24, 2008 6:03 pm

  726. Jack Flash August 24, 2008 6:04 pm

  750. not far away anymore August 24, 2008 6:25 pm

    So there were 10 former or current UH student athletes at the Olympics. All of them brought back a medal. That is pretty impressive. I doubt there is another university in the country that can claim that. Story on UH athletics website.

    Those were the results of tonights fantasy football draft. I will give weekly updates on game results as the season goes on. The winner of the league is gonna receive a couple of autographed football cards of some former warriors now trying to make it in the NFL.


  775. Stephen Tsai August 24, 2008 6:45 pm

    And Jack Flash is the winner of the poster.
    Since you”re on my side of the island, if you leave me your number on my work phone (525-8051) I’ll deliver it.
    If not, more work for Stretch.

    I just got to the office (after the funeral), and I have to punch in a UH story. So, let’s say we’ll have the drawings at 8:30 p.m.?
    Juju is rarin’ to go.

    an he knew wuz time fo… dig…

    heh heh heh


  779. midori7 August 24, 2008 6:49 pm

    Evening Tsaikos!

    since ST didn’t post a cut-off time to submit a haiku, let’s say 7:30pm.

    UHFan808 & I can deliberate & then have ST announce the winner before the shutdown.

    Before I forget, Congrats to Waipio!!!


  780. Garret August 24, 2008 6:52 pm

    Sorry I haven’t been helping out as much as I should have to get the blog to 1000 (Pride, that is a guarantee–don’t worry about us missing that number!). Between the family stuff (including Legoland/Sea Life Legoland) and working 8 hours today, today was hectic.

    To help the post count, I found this Q&A with Bess that just came out today.

    Q: What did June Jones tell you that you needed to improve to make it in the NFL?

    A: Probably my understanding of where to be in certain situations. At times, I rushed my routes a lot, instead of being more patient. Knowing when to break and knowing when to get in and out of a break. Just my overall understanding on where to be at.


  781. brew808 August 24, 2008 6:52 pm

    Wait – was that last message from midori7 or Mrs. A-House? 😀 😯 😆


  782. Garret August 24, 2008 6:52 pm

    Q: Did you think you would be drafted?

    A: I had a good feeling that I was definitely going to get drafted. But this is a business, and you never know.


  783. Garret August 24, 2008 6:53 pm

    I think that Bess chose the right team to maximize his chances of making the team AND getting playing time as a rookie.

    Q: Why did you identify the Dolphins as the best fit?

    A: Well, obviously, they didn’t draft any receivers. And I knew they were in need of some receivers. And they showed the most interest. They told me that they actually wanted to draft me, but they had other needs. They showed a lot of commitment to me, and I believe in that a lot.

    Q: They called you in the fifth round?

    A: Yeah, they called me in the late fifth, early sixth round. But they also told me that weren’t going to be able to draft me. They wanted to, but they couldn’t.

    ST

    you know da list of 66? how cool is that?


  785. Garret August 24, 2008 6:55 pm

    Bess blames the weak schedule for the OL not being ready for the speed of Georgia’s DL. I do agree that facing such weak teams last season (in addition to the nonconference weaklings that HF scheduled, the WAC was down last year) hurt the Warriors in the Sugar Bowl.

    Q: When you played Georgia in the Sugar Bowl, was the speed difference significant?

    A: I think so. Overall as a team, there definitely was. But in the trenches is what really made that game. Our offensive line obviously wasn’t ready for that type of speed. We hadn’t seen that all year, so it really wasn’t their fault.


  786. Garret August 24, 2008 6:56 pm

    Q: How good was your conditioning, when Colt Brennan was throwing 60 or 70 times per game?

    A: Oh man, unbelievable. We worked hard a lot. Our coaches and strength coaches did a good job of keeping us in shape.


  787. Garret August 24, 2008 6:56 pm

    Q: Are you concerned about going from spread offense to pro-style?

    A: Not necessarily, because when I was at Hawaii, we had plays where there were set routes and you had to run routes.


  788. bighilofan2 August 24, 2008 6:58 pm

    Good game the Olympics finals Vball USA v. Brazil. 2-1, USA down 20-17.

  794. Garret August 24, 2008 7:07 pm

    The AP article about the Little League World Series seems to really be going out its way not to mention Waipio.

    Hawaii’s mini-mashers got a little help from Mexico’s miscues to win a fourth straight Little League World Series title for the United States.

    Tanner Tokunaga smacked two homers and Iolana Akau added a solo blast as the boys from Waipahu, Hawaii, defeated Matamoros, Mexico, 12-3, Sunday to take the biggest prize in youth sports.

    A team from Ewa Beach, Hawaii, started the U.S. winning streak in 2005, with Little Leaguers from Georgia taking the prize the previous two years.

    An exhausted Hawaii coaching staff lay sprawled on their back in the middle of the field after the game while their players took the traditional victory lap around Lamade Stadium.


  795. bighilofan2 August 24, 2008 7:08 pm

    match point. thundering back court slam

    USA wins!!!!!!!!


  796. wow August 24, 2008 7:11 pm

    It’s Waipahu and not Waipio because U.S Little League recognizes teams based on ZIP code not local home town names.


  797. LilMermaid August 24, 2008 7:12 pm

    Hello Tsaiko-land!

    ST – i briefly met you at the practice a couple of weeks ago. So sad that your blog will be down, i really like it here. Lots of colorful characters! I’ll be checking the other sites for updates.

    Oh & .. I WANT IN!! Hope it’s not too late.

    Congrats to Waipio!


  798. Garret August 24, 2008 7:12 pm

    UH commit Corey Nielsen is the #8 ranked QB in this list by the LA Times. The weird thing is that the LA Times lists the commits for QBs that committed to USC, Tenn, Cal, Colorado, UNLV, and Washington…but does NOT list Corey’s commit to UH!!!

    8. Corey Nielsen, Gahr, 5-11, 185, Sr.: Region’s top passer in 2007 (4,363 yards).


  799. MeiLing August 24, 2008 7:12 pm

    Has anyone heard from las vegas lately?

    He’s good at haiku….


  800. Garret August 24, 2008 7:14 pm

    wow,

    I guess that makes sense…I didn’t realize about that rule. So, I won’t be upset about the article…though it would have been nice for the reporter covering the team to mention Waipio.


  801. bighilofan2 August 24, 2008 7:14 pm

    That USA Volleyball coach faced alot of personal adversity in this Olympics. Just to be there at the end, not in shock and awe but making a classy appearance, what a guy, what a team.

    so there you go Coaches. Lead em, Mack, lead em to da spot where the sum total is bigga dan da combined #s of the playahz, cuz you brought da MO with you.

    stand up warriors, stand up. you represent Hawaii!!

    GO WARRIORS!!!!

    SteveM: Thank you for bringing additional hits to our blogs!

    Since Hawaiianbod mentioned Saturday, I’m all excited!!! To be honest with you, football is what gets me through the week. All the work and stress is sooo worth it when there’s a game to look forward to! I’m sure you know what I mean, right?


  804. stacyj August 24, 2008 7:17 pm

    Hi all!

    ST, can you confirm that I am in? Not getting hopes up high, but one can dream. Would have to go to Honolulu if I had something like that :-).

    Brew, yes to new chapter…I gonna write about some other things too this week. But will keep the story going.

    Thanks PB for going ‘au’au. I thought something was rancid. Or was that my son’s diaper? nah nah nah just kidding.

    ST, where you going sit in Florida? Hope you poke your face inna crowd wit us. You going see da bannah.


  808. Garret August 24, 2008 7:21 pm

    Here is the US News ranking for UH. Academic reputation is a factor in many recruit’s decisions, so the perceived quality of the UH education is relevant to the Warriors and all other UH sports teams.

    Here, UH is listed as a Tier 3 school.

    http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/college/national-search/page+7

    If you look at other Tier 3 schools, you’ll see that Oregon State, Temple, and Texas Tech are on the same page of the rankings as UH.


  809. stacyj August 24, 2008 7:23 pm

    djmitcho, nice job on the haiku.

    All I could think of was a tsaikos one..

  810. Garret August 24, 2008 7:23 pm

    Tier 4 includes NMSU, NAU, Portland State, SDSU, Houston, UNLV, and Memphis.


  811. Garret August 24, 2008 7:26 pm

    Kelli,

    I’ve made it a point to visit your blog each day since you mentioned that you would be honoring the blog stoppage. Another of the younger bloggers for the Advertiser unfortunately did *not* honor the last blog stoppage.


  812. eh? August 24, 2008 7:30 pm

    Garret,

    let’s be fair, that younger blogger was on probation at the time, so she was caught in the middle between the union and management.


  813. stacyj August 24, 2008 7:30 pm

    That’s funny Garret because I don’t remember who honored and who didn’t so I only go to Kelli’s, Cat’s and Wes. Forget the rest of ’em.


  814. bighilofan2 August 24, 2008 7:30 pm

    My browser just got hijacked by “Centro” while I was going to the comment section. Put that sucka on the security website list and booted it outa here. The nerve of some people…


  819. Garret August 24, 2008 7:33 pm

    I’m amazed that Matt Leinart lost his starting job to Kurt Warner. He definitely did NOT show the progression that a team would hope for from a high draft pick!

    According to ESPN, Kurt Warner is expected to be named the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals. Ouch. Although I guess you gotta hand it to Leinart for one last sweet effort.

    Last night, in their final preseason game against the mighty Oakland Raiders, he completed 4 of 12 passes for 24 yards and three picks. As noted in the article, that’s a paltry passer rating of 2.8.

    Apparently, the Cardinals are concerned about Leinart’s “arm strength and consistency” and a source within the organization reportedly said his training-camp performance has been “uneven.”

    Right. That sounds a bit massaged by the P.R. department. I’m sure any member of the coaching staff would’ve said, “Ya know, I gotta say, Matty has been shaky as hell, he’s all over the place with the ball. As a matter of fact, we’re kinda worried he sucks. Say, you ever see those beer bong pictures?”


  820. BowsForever August 24, 2008 7:33 pm

    How long is this blog stoppage this time around? I guess this is different than the one that’s taking effect just in time for the Florida game?

    Here’s hoping these blog stoppages are actually having some sort of impact.


  821. HiFlyer August 24, 2008 7:35 pm

    BHF2, Tommui – I sent and E-mail to Gov. Lingle the other day about the Cooke Field delay and just received a response, that this is a UH matter and my concerns will be fowarded to them for review and follow-up.
    I guess that sending anything Lingle is a waste of time as she and her staff will only say that they do not have anything to do with the matter and will only foward your letter/E-mail to the UH.


  822. bighilofan2 August 24, 2008 7:35 pm

    the closing ceremonies at the Olympics
    just awesome

    so proud to be 1/8th Chinese 😀


  823. BowsForever August 24, 2008 7:36 pm

    Given those frat-style parties Leinart was having, I’m not exactly surprised by the news. Still that’s quite a fall from the top. Stay humble and keep away from those beer bongs, Colt!


  824. Garret August 24, 2008 7:36 pm

    eh?,

    Thank you for telling me about that. All I knew of the situation was what ST mentioned in this blog, and he did not mention any other considerations like the probation.

    I am totally impressed with the Tsaiko talent for haiku…a lot of really good stuff 😀 Perhaps, we should add a poetry section to our Tsaiko cookbook! 😆


  837. duffer August 24, 2008 7:57 pm

    Thanks HF. Blog, website, there is a difference….. 🙂 Should have know better.


  838. SteveM August 24, 2008 7:58 pm

    We have 2 major Tsai-ko events occuring in 6 days– (1) the various Florida Cattle Calls/logistics and (2) James’ TV-Gate at 0600 HST.

    Then (3) Kazz’s first Tsaiko-Gate of the season a week later and (4) Tsai-kos heading out to the OSU game a few days later.

    Note that my personal web site will remain active throughout the blog hiatus and continue to track and summarize info on the major upcoming activities.

  844. Garret August 24, 2008 8:02 pm

    This is what Esme said about the HawaiiMoms site.

    I will just note here that because HawaiiMoms is not a blog, but a full Web site, and running it is my job description and not an option, I have been advised that I ought not to stop work on it in sympathy. But sympathy and support here in my heart, there is plenty …


  845. bighilofan2 August 24, 2008 8:06 pm

    I know I am being selfish but it’s a good time for the blog to be shutdown. This upcoming week of work will be very busy for me, on Oahu and Kauai. Not really looking forward to it but with the blog shutdown and no practice with the team traveling, it all works out.


  848. BG August 24, 2008 8:08 pm

    The A-House Ohana must be busy getting ready for the pilgrimage to Florida. Happy travels!

    Just for entertainment purposes, of course. The line at the Golden Nugget has been 36 since 8/15. Latest updated (last day or so) lines around Vegas is around 35. Woo hoo! The house will make beaucoup bucks on all the “expert” losers when the Warriors win 😀

  856. Mad Dog August 24, 2008 8:16 pm

    The pressure will be on the Warrior defense to slow the Gator offense to a slow crawl. The defense needs to create turnovers and score points to take the pressure off the Warrior offense. If that doesn’t happen, it could be a long, muggy afternoon.

  862. Garret August 24, 2008 8:21 pm

    I know that there are a lot of Wii owners here, so I thought that I’d post a warning about my experience with NCAA Football 2009. This is the first year it is out for the Wii and they released it with some bugs. However, some of the things I don’t like may just be realistic, but others are actual bugs.

    First I played the 2008 season for UH. Went 13-0…but only got to go to the Hawaii Bowl. UH wasn’t ranked nearly high enough to break into the BCS–I guess this may be their “realism” instead of a bug, but it bothered me! Instead, BYU made it to the BCS.

    After the Hawaii Bowl win and the end of the season, UH was asked to join the Pac-10! UH ended up replacing Stanford and I thought it was cool though the field at Aloha Stadium was still painted with “WAC” even for all the future Pac-10 games I had.

    The 2009 season went okay, though I discovered a bad bug in the program. I don’t know if it is because UH had changed conferences, or if it was because the Hawaii exception gives an extra game, but the NCAA Football 2009 scheduling program never worked right for the 2009 season and every season after that. For some reason 1 conference game and 1 nonconference game would not show up on the schedule and the program would just determine whether or not UH won (and in all but 1 season UH lost the games I didn’t get a chance to play!).

    For 2009 I replaced Notre Dame with Florida since I wanted to beat them for a second time. That was fine…except that after UH beat Florida, NCAA Football 2009 reported that UH had also lost to Notre Dame, even though Notre Dame was not on the schedule! So, with the 1 loss UH could not win the national championship, but at least UH went 13-1.

    For 2010 I left Notre Dame on the schedule and two other games were not available for me to play. Luckily, UH won both games and won the national championship that year!

    For 2011, I replaced Notre Dame on the schedule and UH once again “lost” to Notre Dame. But, since UH had a good preseason ranking, UH was still able to win the national title (beating Notre Dame).

    I think that the problem is that the NCAA Football 2009 game doesn’t know how to handle the Hawaii exception properly in the scheduling software. So, I learned to NOT customize the schedule and just play what was assigned. I especially learned to NOT replace Notre Dame on the schedule because UH “lost” 3 games to Notre Dame that were never actually played…some Notre Dame guy must have worked on the game!


  863. bighilofan2 August 24, 2008 8:22 pm

    AddoknowJoe,

    XxFaithxX,

    there is no football at Pahoa. But one of their teachers is the line coach at Keaau.

    Keaau represents all of Puna in football, although its technically in upper Puna.

  866. Curt August 24, 2008 8:23 pm

    Don’t really know what a Haiku is, but here’s my shot:

    I am Warrior.
    Da enemy may be big and may be strong,
    But I will fight with all my might.
    Now, da time has come.
    I hear da call.
    With my bruddahs, I will defend.
    I will not surrender.
    I will respond.
    I am Warrior.

    I agree. Actually, I’m thinking the Pouncey RG is gonna pull out and sweep for Harvin or TeBow. 320 pounds coming atcha. Gonna take some nerves of steel and some killa playz for put da RBs on dare ar$e$. I’m bettin on our boyz to represent!!! i been taking it all in. I think Coaches Mack, Rich. Cal and Ron have got the players believing its gonna be tough, but they can do it if they each do their jobs.

    Go Warriors!!!.

    I BELIEVE!!!!

    bulla & pride – stereo domes, two moons arising, the number eight, or the symbol infinity, …. 😀

    Hiya UHfan808!!! 😀 😯 😆


  875. bighilofan2 August 24, 2008 8:32 pm

    I know we’d all like to nuture Paipai for one year, but that boy is fast and can step in and help right away with his chase down from behind speed. We’re gonna need that at Florida. I’m wondering if the coaches are thinking long term or right now?


  876. chawan_cut August 24, 2008 8:32 pm

    BG,

    no worries, glad they worked and you enjoyed them. i can get you the rest of the season in the same format later on when things slow down again.


  877. duffer August 24, 2008 8:32 pm

    brew,

  878. Stretch August 24, 2008 8:34 pm

  879. Stephen Tsai August 24, 2008 8:34 pm

    OK, after 35 minutes of scrolling, I’ve got all of the entries. It’ll be about 5 minutes to cut them.
    Then Juju will be pulling a winner.
    So, give me about five minutes.


  880. addahknowjoe August 24, 2008 8:34 pm

    BHF2-

    Mahalo for the heads up on Pahoa. Would’ve liked to have seen them with a team. They’ve always had some boys in those neck of the woods. Just needed some tradition established out there.

    HiFlyer,

  889. Stretch August 24, 2008 8:44 pm

    ST – thanks, can I deliver the passes to myself??


  890. addahknowjoe August 24, 2008 8:44 pm

    and…


  891. BG August 24, 2008 8:44 pm

    Brew

    While surfing the net, I came across this site (for amusement only) vegasinsider.com Here’s what you do…

    1. When you get in the site, look just under the Vegas Insider.com logo and choose the “NCAA FB” tab.
    2. Then choose odds…make sure you’re in “Las Vegas” and not off-shore.
    3. Scroll down the list of games until you find Hawaii/Florida.
    4. Move left horizontally and double-click on the 3rd column (LV Hilton heading at the top of the page). This will open up a window that lists various line movements for many of the major sports books in LV.

    Enjoy


  892. JuJu August 24, 2008 8:44 pm

    Hi folks, I just pulled the winner!

    And the winner is …

  902. Curt August 24, 2008 8:50 pm

    bighilofan2,

    Ha-ha. Boy did I mangle the Haiku. I didn’t know what I was doing, but I had fun. So I now know the rules. You’re right…looks like I cheated all right. If I have any mo questions, I know who the Haiku expert is…you. Thanks.


  903. MeiLing August 24, 2008 8:50 pm

    To all of the Tsaikos going to Florida,

    Have a safe trip and yell & scream for me, too. I don’t think I’m going to be able to watch the game since I’m having my last yard sale that morning. Waaahhhhh…

    IMUA WARRIORS!!! LANAKILA!


  904. duffer August 24, 2008 8:50 pm

    Hey Liz,

    My bestest buddy!


  905. Stephen Tsai August 24, 2008 8:50 pm

    The twins are still tabulating.


  906. BG August 24, 2008 8:50 pm

    😀 Duffer and I on the same wavelength 😀


  907. chawan_cut August 24, 2008 8:51 pm

    london will have a hard time to produce opening and closing ceremonies that will be able to compare to China’s.


  908. HiFlyer August 24, 2008 8:51 pm

    Congrats Liz, now which prize did you win?


  909. bighilofan2 August 24, 2008 8:51 pm

    Congrats, Liz! Have a wonderful trip to Florida.


  914. brew808 August 24, 2008 8:55 pm

    BG – Mahalo! 72 with 35-36 spread? That means the experts don’t think UH will put up more than 17-18 points? Sheesshhh! (Oh- of course this is for entertainment purposes only).

    Liz wins again?!!! :mrgreen: 😯 :mrgreen:


  915. Stretch August 24, 2008 8:55 pm

    i wonder if that is live fireworks??

    Congratulations to Liz!


  922. not far away anymore August 24, 2008 8:59 pm

    I don’t think anyone is going to try and match the opening or closing ceremonies from the Beijing Olympics anytime soon. Simply amazing.


  923. Kekoa August 24, 2008 8:59 pm

    While we are waiting for the judges to determine a winner. I just want to let errybody know that the Wally World out at Kunia has the UH tents on sale. My professional UH paint & decorations chairwoman bought it for me only because I whined and threw a tantrum in the store for it. Hehehe…got the slippah when we got home!


  924. MeiLing August 24, 2008 8:59 pm

    OK, this is the first time the entire background turned light blue with alternating blocks of white for blog entries. Is this the weirdness you all complain about?


  925. chawan_cut August 24, 2008 9:00 pm

    oh, and for the tsaikos going to florida, the sportshawaii folks are going to try to set up a joint tailgate with some florida fans.
    here’s the link here if you will have internet access on travel. details and map to follow
    http://forum.sportshawaii.com/sh/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=26963

    i can be your POC if you want. please email me at chawan_cut at yahoo.com and i can pass you my phone # so that you can call me when you get to the stadium on gameday. use the map in the above link and print it out in case we change locations.


  926. Stretch August 24, 2008 9:01 pm

    Kekoa – How much was it?? I wonder if it is the same one I got last year. The frame is bent so need to buy a new one.


  927. bighilofan2 August 24, 2008 9:03 pm

    buzzzzzzzzzzzz….. snip snip…. bahzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    heh heh heh


  928. Kekoa August 24, 2008 9:03 pm

    Liz ~ Good things happen when you are good. If you folks only knew what her good deed of the month was. I promised not to tell, but all of you know how deserving she really is.

    Congrats Liz!


  929. brew808 August 24, 2008 9:03 pm

  930. Garret August 24, 2008 9:04 pm

    I was going to go on a record article posting binge to get the blog to 1000 today if it was needed…but since it is not needed I guess I can take it easy. Great job by everyone, the post count should be well past 1000 before the blog is shut off for comments!


  931. jojo ® August 24, 2008 9:05 pm

    Aww duffer, why did you know my secret agenda? So Liz, since you won…


  932. jm2375 August 24, 2008 9:05 pm

    MeiLing – I’m glad it’s not just me that it’s happening to. There are also times when the background is a dark blue, everything is centered and the font is about 5pt. A few hits of the refresh button usually solves it, but it’s getting really irritating.

    How’s this for bachi – I haven’t been able to bring up the HA front page all weekend and in fact, it almost crashed my computer at work. 👿


  933. SteveM August 24, 2008 9:07 pm

    Hey — if LizKauai has a field pass, does she still need a ticket to the game 😕


  934. BG August 24, 2008 9:08 pm

    Garret

    Thanks for the tip on the anti-pop-up programs. Thought I had some protection, but I guess not. Surprised me that this is the first night that pop-ups from Gannett are showing up…actually, first pop-ups at all.


  935. duffer August 24, 2008 9:08 pm

    SteveM

    No she doesn’t…


  936. Ronnie August 24, 2008 9:08 pm

    Congratulations Liz!!

    SteveM – I thought Liz bought season tickets?


  937. duffer August 24, 2008 9:09 pm

  938. chawan_cut August 24, 2008 9:09 pm

  939. stacyj August 24, 2008 9:10 pm

    Delay of game for the twins. Nah, I got my favorite so I wanna see if it won.


  940. Kekoa August 24, 2008 9:10 pm

    BHF,

    that sucks. in regard to keaau “representing” all of Puna. Hopefully once me and the woman decide where to set our roots or retire, it will be back home…then Pahoa will have a revival =P


  945. Stretch August 24, 2008 9:12 pm

    Kekoa – thanks. Where is Wally World in Kunia?? I need to get another tent for this upcoming season.

  950. HiFlyer August 24, 2008 9:15 pm

    does anyone remember if there was this much aerial stunts in the opening ceremony.

  956. brew808 August 24, 2008 9:17 pm

    Hey, maybe Liz could invite gigi to join her on the sidelines…. 😀 “Hey, will the fan in the muumuu please get off the field….” 😀 😈 😆


  957. chawan_cut August 24, 2008 9:17 pm

    oh yeah, don’t forget to turn it to kgmb now to watch the pre-season show by liz chun and staff.


  958. diesel August 24, 2008 9:18 pm

  962. stacyj August 24, 2008 9:19 pm

    G’nite MeiLing!

    This closing is amazing. Nobody will top this.

    Did I hear the announcer say that China spent 40 billion for the games?


  963. Pauoa Boy August 24, 2008 9:19 pm

    Howzit Aunty Ronnie…

    stacyj – no bulai you, trying foa blame dah keikis hows you…too much…lol

    Ronnie — I ask because Liz has what I consider pretty good seats. Yes, we sit with her 🙂 …just wondering if we have spare seats that night… 😐

    jojo — arghhh … I didn’t have any spicy burnt pork 🙁
    Time for a Camellia Cattle Call this week?


  965. Hawaiianbod August 24, 2008 9:20 pm

    Eh PB – good draft brah. Since it was my first I let the computer pick for me.


  966. UHfan808 August 24, 2008 9:22 pm

    964!

    Nearly done!


  967. Pauoa Boy August 24, 2008 9:22 pm

    So is the closing ceremony moa bettah than the opening ceremony, what you guys think?


  968. HiFlyer August 24, 2008 9:23 pm

    Pauoa Boy – what’s your e-mail addy?


  969. Esme August 24, 2008 9:25 pm

    Yay for Liz! 😀


  970. Stretch August 24, 2008 9:25 pm

    i wonder if we’ll ever find out who the winner is before the blog shuts down??


  971. Kekoa August 24, 2008 9:26 pm

    Stretch ~ Take the Kunia Road exit, take a right at the first light, left at the next, and go up the street until you spot the store on your left. Call first to make sure they still have them in stock.

  972. BG August 24, 2008 9:27 pm

    Since he’s gone (we hope), I can talk stink about our favorite ex-AD. Here’s the first hand story…

    In mid-Aug, 2003, before I was mobilized for active duty (didn’t know it then), I had sent an email to Herman, asking permission to tape UH football, VB, baseball, etc. so I could send dvd’s to our local boys in Iraq and Afghanistan. What do you think the response was? Nada…nothing back. Finally on October 13, Scott Harada apologized for Herman and stated UH’s and KFIVE’s willingness to allow me to tape events for the purpose of sending dvd’s overseas to the troops. As we know now, that was typical of the way Herman did business. I have absolutely no Aloha for him. If I met him again, the only hand I’d give him is the back of my hand. I still keep that email.


  973. brew808 August 24, 2008 9:28 pm

    Eh – how come one twin is fooling around blogging, leaving the other sista with all the work? Just like Cinderella…. 😀


  974. not far away anymore August 24, 2008 9:29 pm

    I heard that $40 billion price tag as well. That is probably why this Olympics won’t be matched. Nobody else is going to spend that much money on an Olympics. I guarantee that London won’t.


  975. Ronnie August 24, 2008 9:29 pm

    SteveM – I get it now… You wanted to know if the prize came with seats…. Sorry, had a brain freeze moment there.

    Hi my nephew, Pauoa Boy 🙂 !


  976. stacyj August 24, 2008 9:29 pm

    So slow.

    PB, shut it!

    Brew, great idea…would the Gigi take the offer? Probably not.

    Speaking of Gigi, I keep asking…where is she? I hope she is okay. No show all day, huh?


  977. Hawaiianbod August 24, 2008 9:29 pm

    ST – thanks for the pics up top! NICE!!!


  978. oldie August 24, 2008 9:29 pm

    ST,

    Good luck to you and the rest of the HA staff. Hope the WB is back real soon. We’re going to miss the action here.


  979. el guapo August 24, 2008 9:30 pm

    I really wonder
    How Pride is going to look
    Without any hair


  980. bighilofan2 August 24, 2008 9:30 pm

    One on one with Coach Mack next.

    wooot woooooot!!!!


  981. Pauoa Boy August 24, 2008 9:31 pm

    Hawaiianbod – Yups was pretty good, only thing went throw me off little bit was the league set up. Normally you have 1 QB, 3WR, 2RB, 1TE, 1K, and 1 Defense start and then bench. They way it was set up was 1 QB, 2 WR, 2RB, 1 WR/RB, 1 TE, 1K, and 1 Defense. I think by having that one position to choose whether you want to play a RB or WR will throw off some scores, making it a little harder to win consistently since everyones team is pretty decent. Anyway look forward to see who win at the end of the season…


  982. chawan_cut August 24, 2008 9:37 pm

    i wonder who will be 1000


  983. Kelli August 24, 2008 9:37 pm

    Garret and stacyj: Again, thank you for your support. I’m glad the Tsai-kos are so understanding. Don’t forget to read Caryn’s BLOGS (yes, BLOGS — she has two). 🙂


  984. not far away anymore August 24, 2008 9:37 pm

    The blog is taking forever to refresh. I think everyone is on here constantly refreshing trying to find out who won the haiku contest.


  985. Pauoa Boy August 24, 2008 9:38 pm

    HiFlyer – pauoaboy31 at yahoo dot com

    stacyj – sheesh chillax tampax tek it easeh

    Uh-oh, ST’s locked out of the blog!!!


  989. Da Punchbowl Kid August 24, 2008 9:42 pm

    It’s gettin’ close to Zero Hour and the 1,000th post, too. I hope that the message that our lil blog is sending today is loud and clear.

    We support the employees of the HA who only want to be treated fairly. We also support the man who brought us all together here. Let’s pray there is a quick and just resolution to the issues confronting the HA.

    In the meantime, Tsaikos, we’ll see you all in the lifeboat. And when the time comes, we’ll see you all right back here. 😉

    Aloha, a hui hou!

    GO WARRIORS!!!


  990. chawan_cut August 24, 2008 9:42 pm

    Sorry for the delay!

    ST got locked out, so I’m hoping this goes through.

    The winner of the haiku contest is FloridaTed!

    Here’s the winning haiku:

    Warriors marching
    with one mind, one heart, one soul.
    Victory is near

    Thanks to all the Tsaikos who submitted entries!


  1013. Stephen Tsai August 24, 2008 9:56 pm

    Hair goes before the Pride.

    A-House, glad to see that the recipe worked out. Try it on other fishes for variety.

    Brew808, i not sure, but heard the line is 34, but no listing in Vegas yet.

    Pride, i think tomorrow will have “cooler” head prevail. hahahahaaaah.


  1015. Ruggo August 24, 2008 9:56 pm

    Aloha Stephen –

    Really appreciate all that you and others (i.e. Mike, Princess, Kelli, all Tsaikos, etc) do for this blog. It’s just a sad, sad, tragedy that HA management just does not “get it” and continues to throw itself under the bus.

    I, Like many other lurkers, will respectfully wait this out with the hopeful positive results that you and other are seeking.

    Again, thanks to you and the others for making this blog for what it is!

    BTW – Great job Waipio!


  1016. LizKauai [iMac] BELIEVER August 24, 2008 9:57 pm

    Yup- a test of the blogware.
    Hi Pride.! Maybe A-Joe will jeep you company and “go bulla” with you too 😆


  1017. Stretch August 24, 2008 9:58 pm

    So i don’t have to search the 1000+ posts, can you put up the winning haiku??


  1018. Ronnie August 24, 2008 9:58 pm

    Want to wish all of the Tsaikos the best and will miss you. ST, thanks for giving us all a great blog site. Take care, good nite, and go WARRIORS!!


  1039. whut August 24, 2008 10:12 pm

    Does this mean that ST has stopped blogging already?


  1040. SteveM August 24, 2008 10:12 pm

    Congratulations to FloridaTed!


  1041. stacyj August 24, 2008 10:12 pm

    Nice job Florida Ted! I missed your haiku but think you are very deserving.

  1049. UHfan808 August 24, 2008 10:19 pm

  1051. HiFlyer August 24, 2008 10:20 pm

    BG – I agree with this much traffic just to find out who won a prize and to push the amount of comments over 1000 the server was very slow.


  1052. LizKauai [iMac] BELIEVER August 24, 2008 10:21 pm

    ok, i guess this’ll be my last WB post until the blog returns. i’ll be headed to florida tomorrow.
    are we supposed to boycott the whole advertiser site too like last time? or just the blogs?
    hope that when we all convene again that we’ll have videos and contracts and a working blog.
    hopefully we’ll also be talking sooner than later. it would be great to have reports from stephen during this game week.
    cya all around the bend.

    Hi Esme


  1078. not far away anymore August 24, 2008 11:34 pm

    I went back in the old blog to see the last time there was a 1000 post day. Last one I saw was January 14, 2008 with 1047 posts. On January 4, 2008 there was a 1175 post day. Look at the date and you can guess the topic. That was the highest one that I found. I went back until the beginning of last season. Don’t think we’ll hit 1175, but this is definitely the most we have had in quite awhile.

    Well goodnight everyone.

    See you on the lifeboat:
