Pilares expected to start at slotback
Greg McMackin said that Kealoha Pilares is expected to start at slotback in Saturday’s road game against New Mexico State. McMackin said Pilares had a good practice today. Pilares moved from running back during spring training, and was the backup slotback in the opener against Florida. After that, he moved to running back. Although he sometimes practiced at slotback, he was used almost exclusively as a running back in games. He missed the past two games because of a sprained foot. McMackin said Daniel Libre, David Farmer and Leon Wright-Jackson will rotate at running back.

Happy anniversary to Sweety and DPK.

first
morning all tsaiko warriors
Pilares has really been the only effective RB this season. Libre had a couple of good runs last week but couldn’t make the catch on the goal line leading to a turnover.
LWJ is on pace to be one of the biggest busts in UH history. My feeling is that Pilares needs the ball in his hands as much as possible.
It’s no secret, now, that there are running plays for the slotbacks.
But methinks there won’t be as many running plays in the near future, and certainly not three in a row. Ever.
Fort!
It’s too bad we haven’t seen as much of LWJ as we would like. I mean has he not gotten a grasp of the system in almost 2 years at UH? Hopefully he can turn thing around and prove he can play.
What? Top 5? What? Birthday and then Anniversary? NICE! Congrats! Lucky Sweety ah? Gift for Birthday AND Anniversary? Way to plan!
tgate reminder for Satudays game
Magnificent 7?
Happy Happy, Sweety and DPK!!!
HiHo
browsing the web last nite for flights to seattle, it’s pretty reasonable. does wazzu or maybe someone at manoa know when plans will be final for qwest field or dat soapbox in pullman
Did I make top ten?
fully agree with jon on keeping Pilares at rb. he runs north south, hits the point of attack quickly and runs hard. he, Farmer and Libre should fit the bill.
Stephen what about using LWJ at slot and can he catch? he can runs sideline to sideline plays very well 😯 .
Happy Anniversary DPK and Sweetie!
Many many more!
Pilares at slot opens exciting possibilities.
Happy Anniversary to Sweety and Da Punchbowl Kid!
koakane™ –
I will be there on Saturday. Too bad I can’t golf worth a darn! If there is karaoke, I sure hope that Pride is coming. It’s been a while since I heard “One In A Million” and “Me and Mrs. Jones” 😯
Thanks Kekoa for making all the arrangements!
WD/DD – WD, you need to make sure that you take care of yourself and DD you need to rest up so that you can rejoin us. Good to hear that you are in good spirits because that can be such a big factor in your recovery!
Happy Anniversary DPK and Sweetie!
I hope that the “tweak” reported in today’s paper was not serious for Pilares. Since the “tweak” was from yesterday and Mac says that Pilares had a good practice today, that is a good sign for Pilares’ health!
If Pilares is healthy, I’d rather see him at RB more since I figure that his health won’t allow him to play the entire game anyway and I’d rather he get the ball as much as possible. I would think that Bain at SB and Pilares at RB is better than Pilares (with little experience) at SB and Libre/LWJ at RB. However, the coaches know best. The fans haven’t seen Pilares getting the ball much at slotback while seeing him do so much at RB, but we also don’t see what is going on in practice in El Paso.
Larry Price will talk about Hawaii and statehood.
Hi Tsaikos & Tsaikettes, Lurkers & Lurkettes!
Wow I’ve missed so much being away from the blog. Just checking in to say “Hi!”
Hi everybody! Hope all is well in Tsaikoland.
.
.
Koakane,
Please put me down for Saturday, I plan to be there too.
has the staff considered putting lwj at a different position?
it’s become quite obvious with the lack of run blocking from the oline coupled with lwj’s hesitation and stutter-stepping he will not be successful at rb.
i remember him being rated the #2 safety in the west coast out of high school…
i feel we are thinner at that position than rb right now and he could help the team at that position.
heck… try him at special teams or something! i agree with jon that he’s on pace to becoming one of the biggest busts in UH history.
Washington State’s coach is turning to business textbooks to try to turn their season around. Somehow I don’t think the business books will be much help when they come to Aloha Stadium in a few games and UH has a Hawaii Bowl bid on the line.
This South Florida Sun-Sentinel reporter studied the tape of the Miami-Denver game and led his report with something negative on Samson.
The Dolphins used Bess and Ginn as dual punt returners in their Denver game. We all know how Bess blocks well for his teammates, as we saw this many, many times over his Warrior career. Unfortunately for Bess, when he’s returning the ball Ginn apparently doesn’t want to help. Maybe Ginn is upset that Bess is returning the bulk of the punts when he was the punt returner last year…
Ooooh, happy anniversay Sweety & DPK!
🙂
One Miami fan defended Samson a little.
Other Miami fans had these comments:
One side effect of Bess earning his spot with Miami is that it left one less spot for another WR. This is some info on the Miami receiver that was cut. BCS Conference school (Arizona State), high draft pick…he needed a role on special teams to keep a roster spot, but Bess and Ginn have the returner jobs.
beautiful morning, kofe fine so shout outs to rob25, kauai chapta prez Liz, d1 (know he lurking), early NW monarch cuzs, fearless leada Tsai man, ceded land kahuna nui kekoa and all others
Mistah Obama as new pres elect things should be getting better. luved his speech last night one of encouragement, change, hope for a better future and bringing the nation back together. all this to make a better place for the children of tomorrow. looking forward to his legacy. plus bruddah know mauka, makai, rubba sippa, musubi, “wot” and likes rainbow drive in plate lunch. so what else can you ask for?
RE: LWJ to defense.
Um…its not going to happen. Thats why he left nebraska. They saw he had trouble playing their style of FB (and had recruited better RB’s; Marlon Lucky for one example) so they tried to move him to WR. WR didn’t work out for whatever reason and then they tried to play his at safety. He balked, transferred to a CC and the rest is history.
Wow! Happy Anniversary Sweety and DPK! Wish you many more.
come on men sign up already get some fine women with plenty fball knowledge going be dea.
Rob25 and UH808fan no worry automatic in and as always looking forward to partying with you guys.
eh big guy pride you have been requested can do?
good point about lwj’s time at nebraska. however, he’s already a junior with only 1 more year of eligibility. if the coaches ask him to switch positions, it’s gonna be a lot more difficult to just up and leave right? his only option would be to a D-IAA, DII, or DIII school unless of course he graduates this semester or next, then he can transfer anywhere.
if you ask me, he should do whatever is asked of him for the betterment of the team, regardless of what position that is. just my .02 cents.
Happy Happy to Sweetie, and DPK also………I guess, haha
Hope today is special for the both of you
Make memories…. 🙂 🙂
LWJ seems like he has a confidence problem with hitting the hole. It might just be that other running backs have better vision, he always does the two-step instead of hitting the hole. How much more playing time can he get when he keeps doing that? It’s as bad as handing the ball off to Farmer, who is too slow to be a threat except on goal line situations. wait a minute, they did try that, didn’t they? *snicker* Anyway LWJ obviously has speed, we’ve all seen it. He’s just got to break the habit of east-west dancing, quit screwing around and going north-south instead.
cheepeno,
If LWJ doesn’t want to play safety, how do you think he would do if the UH coaches forced him to play safety? You seem to be advocating that, but if his heart isn’t 100% behind a move to defense, I don’t think the move would be in the best interest of the team. And isn’t there going to be a learning period when he would be at risk of missing an assignment or taking a bad angle? Making mistakes at safety results in big plays and TDs…we’ve seen that too many times already this season.
NMSU talked about the Warriors:
From coach Hal Mumme:
From QB Chase Holbrook:
From Oren Long:
From Derrick Richardson:
Article in the Las Cruces newspaper about the Warrior game.
i’m not advocating an immediate change for lwj to safety. my point is that he’s been a non-factor at rb all season so far. he did show glimpses of his all-american high school days a handful of times last season, but so far he hasn’t done much of anything this season.
coaches change player’s positions all the time… sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. it’s not uncommon for a player to have adverse feelings towards a position change initially, but some have flourished. antwan randle el and hines ward both were college qb’s and i can remember both of them wanting to continue their careers in the nfl as qb’s but have since embraced their roles as wr’s and the rest is history.
if the player trusts the coach, then the change isn’t as hard to swallow. does leon trust our coaches?
according to mouton’s brother, he had some ill feelings against being put on offense so heavily, but he did okay (in the nevada game at least).
this may seem like a very ignorant statement, but i can’t imagine lwj being that much worse than our current free safety personnel. nothing against thomas and monteilh, but when they miss a tackle (which happens quite often), they don’t have the speed to recover. lwj does. or at least i think he does.
bottom line is that the best players need to be on the field. that may or may not be lwj… but what would we have to lose by experimenting a little? seems like that’s been the motto for this year’s team.
I don’t know if LWJ has a problem. I think some fans have a problem with expecting too much. All players on the team have talent. Why aren’t you as hard on them???? JJ used to say that you never know what a player can do until you get him in a game. So he has not lived up to your expectations. Why does he have to do so??? Is it his fault??? Or is it yours???
cheepeno,
One of LWJ’s problems has seemed to be that he’s hesitating when running the ball. If he does that at RB, a position he’s played since he was a kid, how is he *not* going to hesitate when playing an unfamiliar position like safety? Speed won’t do him any good if doesn’t make good, quick decisions.
One thing is for sure–several fans bashed JJ all of last season for not playing LWJ more at RB, but I think he is getting even less time at RB this season with much less criticism of the coaches for that.
nebraska wanted to “relocate” lwj to safety and wr. just some of the reasons that lwj decided to leave lincoln.

and…….happy anniversary dpk and sweetie!
so what else is there in st’s almanac?
anybody hungry for lunch today?
KEKOA/KOAKANE:
I’ll be there!
Thanks for making all the arrangements.
at rb, lwj is playing 5-10 yards away from the LOS. the time he has to make a decision and hit a hole is very short compared to being 15-20 yards away and being allowed to “roam” the backfield. i would assume he’s allowed a little more leeway when reacting to a play.
i guess we’ll agree to disagree. comparing defense to offense is like apples and oranges.
also, it’s impossible to be a parade all-american in high school and NOT have any type of hype or expectations from the fans. it’s football! expectations come with the territory.
Again, why not insert an I formation-type play for LWJ with Farmer as fullback since he seems to be only a straight-ahead runner. We need to take advantag of his talents. Also, if we are having a problem at running back, why not try JoPierre Davis at RB. He was a standout RB in high school in SF.
NMSU 28, UH 3.
I say this because it does not appear to me the UH coaches understand, based on recent reports about various moves being made by the coaches, the true flaws in the UH program.
Time will tell.
The pettiness is pretty rampant though, on the part of some of the coaches. The lack of courage is obvious on the part of most of the receivers and some of the backs, with the exception of Salas and Pilares.
Why not play Tyler?
bulla…i am always hungry for lunch…but, today i am working during lunch.
mahalo al,
no worries, just a thought
GO WARRIORS
GO WILDCATS (X2)
Kekoa….I’ll be there…
James ~ If you drive…make sure you have a car! Bwahahaha!
Kekoa…I was thinking about walking….LOL
Tom Mui ~ Glad to have you aboard.
All Tsaiko’s who have contacted us so far, we have you on our list. It is going to go over 30 by noon time at this rate! Good!…we need to get behind our Warriors even more than ever now and finish the season strong! -Mahalo!
GO WARRIORS!
ST, did the idea of LWJ as a SB ever come up? I just feel like we gotta get the guy on the field??
Kekoa/Koakane-count us in for the buffet on Saturday–sj and myki
Thanks for setting it up 🙂
Uce5 ~
Please come share your Mana’o with us on Saturday. We Tsaiko’s stand behind our opinions in a face-to-face environment at our gatherings. It’ll be fun, I assure you.
Gotcha sj & myki!…It was on auto-pilot for you 2.
cheepono,
I respect your opinion and really do understand the desire to get LWJ on the field. We saw glimpses last season of his potential–especially out of the pistol formation. I thought about the possibilities of moving LWJ to safety…but figured that couldn’t be done until the offseason, as that would give time to get him adjusted and to learn the defensive scheme.
However, by then I’m sure that Mac, Cal Lee, and Rich Miano will have the safety issue taken care of. The interesting thing is that you complain about Monteilh and Thomas, but they were good enough to start for Mac’s D last year without too much complaint.
i would go if get sexy ladies there.
Happy anniversary DPK and Sweety!
IDK about a full-time move for LWJ to another position, but here’s a thought that’s festered in my head for awhile: If UH is installing a small package for Mouton in the slot at Y, why not get LWJ in there at wide Z? Whether you go quads or trips with Washington at the H, that’s some serious speed on one side of the field. Puts a lot of pressure on the safeties, opens up opportunities weak-side and underneath too (assuming the defense goes cover 3 or 4).
And like some others, I’ve always liked the idea of LWJ in the Pistol. If the coaches are going to set up a package for Inoke, maybe it could be a Pistol package.
I thought safety Vili Nauahi was one of our big time recruits from Kahuku before he went on a mission. How far down on the depth chart is he? I believe he’s gonna be a senior next season. Nauahi and Mana Silva as starting safeties next season?
If they can put Farmer in the slot on some plays, I don’t see why LWJ can’t be utilized in that same capacity as well. I wonder if his foot is still bothering him. At the Nevada game, he was still limping off the field after plays.
Speaking of D Bess, Congrats to my boy on his baby girl, Kyrah, that was born last week. I would put up a picture but I don’t have his approval on that yet
afternoon gang!
Happy anniversary to Sweety and DPK!
Congrats D Bess…. K. Mouton – thanks for the good word!
By nowI’m sure UH coaches have run LWJ’s name as a RB, SB, WR, S, CB, OLB, KR, PR, TE, DE and at H-Back without finding a fit.
Eventually the cream will rise to the top, lets us all hope for the best.
I thing TG is about done as a warrior, you can only shoot yourself so many times before the coaches give up.
Howzit K. Mouton
i get the feeling that LWJ is not 100% or even close but as a Warrior is trying his darndest to help the team on the field.
howzit las vegas
Howzit Loa,
I concur on LWJ, after all it’s a long flight from home (with a wife and kid too) to sit on a plastic bench for almost two years.
as d1 notes during this time lunch howa
running to subway for $5 foot long sandwich (getting a lead foot sports special 😀 ) betta than eating mac/cheese school lunch. neva noticed schools get plenty cheese and macaroni.
lattas
victorino won a gold glove, great news keep coming for him. hopefully he makes an appearance at aloha stadium in the near future, da fans sure would wanna show their appreciation. hope da phils are ready to give him a BIG raise
Koakane,
I go to Subway for the $5.00 footlong BLT at least once a week.
By the time I get double bacon, large soda and 6 cookies, the thing cost around 10 bucks.
not very cost effective.
Victorino won a Gold Glove? Awesome!
I’m not a doctor, but I agree, the foot seems like something that would linger. Still, he’s not using that as an excuse, and I give him credit for that.
las vegas – i laugh everytime the commercial comes on, catchy tune
Oven-roasted chicken breast for me.
Mmm. Time for lunch. Shucks, Subway is on the other side of campus. Too muggy to walk all the way over there. 🙂
Today the Yonamine’s will join us at Cici’s Pizza (all u can eat for $5.49)
Just opened 2 mins from my house (if good, anticipate drastic weight gain in near future)
Jason – what? they get one subway on campus? sheeesh only had saga before
Howzit all.
Oy vey!
Western Oregon is coming up as Linfield’s next opponent. This WOU Ass’t AD thought internet anonymity would hide him.

Loa,
There’s one born every minute 😉
las vegas,
Last year I was! 🙁 👿 🙁

I guess the positive thing to look at is that I’m not subjecting myself to those sky-high table minimums this week!
OK…that’s weak 😐
thot so, SEMA going on now
d1,
I’m also glad the skimpily clad cocktail waitresses are not tempting you with those free drinks and sending you along the same road that tortures Homey and and his CR buddies.
las vegas,
Thanks. I know you always got my back. haha
So now I will end LunChauWah the way I started…
Oy vey!
heheheh
wondering if President Obama will return for his grandmother’s funeral.
CC,
The cynical side of me says that Obama already
drained the human interest portion from grannies’
illness/death and will spend a very limited time in
Hawaii or forgo the trip entirely.
The normal side hopes he hurries and doesn’t forget.
Loa: Get Subway, Taco Bell/Pizza Hut Express, Yummy’s, two Chow Mein Expresses, the same hamburger joint as in the Ala Moana Food Court, an India Cafe Express, coffee shops serving Starbucks coffee, and a Jamba Juice, in addition to a few other generic places.
I ended up getting Indian food, cause $6 for a few pieces of mochiko chicken ain’t great. But I ended up spending $3 more for an ice cream bar in order to save my taste buds. 🙂
Good Afternoon Everyone:
Great Day For America nd the Rest of the World with the outcome of the national election. Locally, my two candidates – Jessica Wooley and Chris Lee – made it through a couple of hard-fought tough races. Both of them are really strong supporters of UH/higher education AND environmental/energy reforms.
DrDoc is still in ICU but hopes to be transferred to the medical ward shortly – however that may be defined.
RE Saturday: We or I may or may not attend so don’t count on us/me with respect to food. If we/I attend, we/I will order something off the regular menu.
RE UH Athletics: The Wahine volleyball team is on the road for the last three WAC games. Seeds for the WAC tournament will be announced next Tuesday, I believe. Barring a total meltdown against Boise, Idaho or Fresno, UH will either be the #1 or #2 seed.
The Men’s basketball team plays an exhibition game against Chaminade this Friday and then opens up their regular season next week.
Women’s basketball kicks off their season in Hilo next week with a three day tournament on Nov. 14/15/16.
Men’s volleyball jumpstarts their season this Friday and Saturday in Klum Gym with a fall tournament; after that, they will be in practice sesssions for the next two months. Their regular season kicks off January 8, 2009.
Lots of good stuff to support in addition to football.
Another reminder: For those of you with XY chromosomes over the age of 40 who are heavy consumers of saturated fats as found in meat, go get your heart system tested. If you are diabetic or at risk for it because of your genetic makeup, if you smoke, if you are more than 10% overweight, if you do not exercise on a regular basis, go get your heart system tested.
For each one of these red flag markers, deduct five years from the baseline age of 40 to get an initial diagnostic evaluation.
DD had none of them and still got clipped.
Off to work, MAHALO signhold,and visit DD. Have a good afternoon.
RE: Obama
If he doesn’t come back for the funeral/service, then I say he not only duped the ones who voted for him and believed his words, but us locals too whom called him one of ours. I mean, the elections over, what else does he have to do but wait for his time to be sworn in? You can say he might have to start planning for his term too, but come on, its your “Toot” right?
Anyway, I hope that he makes me eat crow and comes back. Who knows though…
The defense was a disappointment against the Aggies. Blown coverages, sloppy tackling…
So as much as I support the UH Football Program, as a fan, I will say that the UH Warrior football players do not have the right and privilege of taking any opponent lightly. And that is what I think they did. The truth of the matter is that they are doing a mediocre job, as their records show, and are not on par with the juggernaut of the Conference, Boise St. Therefore, their biggest mistake was not taking their jobs as seriously as they should, and not playing for others but only for themselves.
For that reason, I will suggest to any player who comes upon this post, and encourage him, that as a fan of the University of Hawai’i at Manoa football team, I would like to see a determination and drive in the team to represent their university well, to play their hearts out for the love of the game of football, and to be responsible players in taking care of their assignments given to them by their coaches.
Please do not be complacent; just because you were supposed to defeat Utah St., doesn’t mean you’re allowed to slack off and give partial effort. You are not USC, or Ohio St. You haven’t earned the right to get away with such attitudes. Please play hard for the team and for your university, do your job, and win some ball games.
But as long as you are dedicated and driven, and you are a respectful teammate as well as an opponent, I personally don’t care if the team loses. Because you have achieved victory in gaining respect from your fans, and you have demonstrated not only skill and talent, but a drive within you as a player that will earn you recognition and acknowledgment.
Thank you.
(sorry got distracted trying to remove my email address)
Jason – wow that a lot of food, they still get the pool hall at campus center?
Chawan – 5 more days
No forget to wish the Wahine Soccer Team good luck in Reno

I would not expect the blowing of trumpets and fanfare if the President-Elect returns home for his tutu’s services. It is a private ceremony.
The transition period between now and the swearing in ceremony is not a time that the candidate has for rest and recreation. There is the cabinet to be picked, there are meetings galore.
I don’t have any experience on that kind of level but when Sparky was elected to Congress in 1962, there was no rest for us wicked from the day after the election to the time he was sworn in the Congress. And this was only for a lowly Congressman.
Hiya!
My boss and I share a $5 Subway sandwich at least once a week. @$2.50 for lunch is good. Another good thing is soup. I buy a case of soup from Costco to keep on hand at work. This week it is Amy’s organic- Minestrone or Lentil. Yummy and filling and not to expensive!
Loa: Still get.
Hi tommui!
Spark!
Wow- memories…
In recent times, my youngest son- Ukuleleboi- helped plant a tree in Matt Matsunaga’s Peace Garden in Lihue. He was just a little feller- around 3 years old- and had his picture in the paper.
Understood, Tom Mui. I dunno, I guess its just me. Family comes first and if my job doesn’t understand, then I would not want that job.
Las Vegas:
We went to Cici’s in Orlando and did I pig out – went for 4 servings with 4-5 slices each time plus had desert 2xs.
Mrs A-House doesn’t care for pizza much, but she also enjoyed at least 2 servings plus desert.
Midori7 was in heaven with the pizza and chocolate deserts.
It is truly worth the money and the food tasted real good.
Best pizza joint, at least for our family, is Peppino’s in Kailua – excellent pizza and very, very reasonable. Closed on Wednesday.
jason,
what about they kuykendall cook out on wednesdays? they had the bestest shoyu chicken ever.
Joe Paterno wants a playoff system.
Happy Birthday Sweety and “Bruce” DPK
Article about how the Pac-10 is struggling at the QB situation this year…probably one reason why they have so few bowl-eligible teams.
Don’t understand why people are making it their business bout Obama’s grannie’s funeral and the family’s private concerns??? Let it rest, and it’s not my business is what I feel.
Pres-elect Obama:
I can understand if he does not make it back for the funeral. But, it would not surpise me if he came for a day or two as he can continue working while on the plane ride and here, but save several hours for the family and private service. Besides, he already have transitional teams in place and working; plus he has selected his Chief of Staff.
I believe his POSDF ( planning, organizing, supervising, directing, and followup ) skills are “honed” and will be very helpful in the transition period. His “economic” advisory team is also in place and they have been working with him during the entire campaign; even if its only verbage on special issues.
His physical location for those 2 days is not critical in today’s world of technology.
Only thing would be humbug for traffic on 2 days between airport and hotel. I would imagine that there will be a lot more Secret Service types for this trip.
Besides, he does not like the current BCS system and this could mean a “hail of beans”. See Pete Carroll is foaming at the mouth because USC did not climb in the BCS rankings and his hope for a national championship is rapidly fading. But, Alabama and Texas Tech still got tough opponents in the next 2-3 weeks and, if they lose, USC may rise to # 1 or 2.
Hey, I saw Wrecknize (However you spell his name) on tv one day. I wanted to tape it for him, but I don’t know how to use the DVR. He was on the Heald College commercial.
it seems to me that LW-J has all the tools to be a great running back, if in the right offensive system. He kind of reminds me of Adrian Murrell who played for Leilehua and chose to play for WVU where they ran a tailback out of the I formation. LWJ would flourish in an offense with a blocking fullback leading the way. As for the USU game, I was not pleased with the defense as many 3rd and long were converted with big plays, penalties or blown coverages. If our defense allows 30 points, we are doomed… past week was only 15 pts. needed.We need Pilares, then that will open up the passing game. We also need good throws and that will open up the running game and shovel pass. In other words, we need everything…
Hey… Happy Anniversary DPK and Sweety.. Wow… Sweety.. happy belated birthday… to think all those years ago… DPK presented himself to you as a birthday present… no receipt.. no return.. but promised to last a lifetime, eh? Could be worse.. could be worse… The best to you both.. with the best years to come.
happy birthday!
happy wednesday!
2 days till basketball!!
3 days till football!!!
Hello Wena!
So…
Who won the election? Is it going to finally be Nader’s time? 😆
mctruck: I don’t think that its beyond my (or others whom discuss it) realm to comment about Obama…I mean, he is MY president and also calls Hawai`i home right?
Besides, haven’t we all been witness to his life and other events (family or not) through-out the campaign?
Kazz – May have something to do with the name “Ralph”. One can’t be President and the other can’t find Bay View.
Good thing the gigi’s aren’t enjoying the tv-gate with the rest of the Tsaikos because they’d probably win all the golf prizes.
I bet UHfan808 pulls another jojo this Saturday.
Wena: Everyone has seen that commercial but me!!!
chawan_cut: There’s this vegetarian place in the courtyard near Kuykendall.
Hopefully, USC does not make the National Championship game. The Rose Bowl would still take a Pac-10 team, and so there would be one less team in a pool where Dave Matlin’s pickings are slim as it is.
Mr. A-house – re Peppinos – how does it compare to Round Table (Enchanted Lake)? I like RT but it’s getting expensive. Of course, it is closer to my house than Peppinos. Peppinos is near the Post Office?
jm2375 ~ Have the USPS Special Deliver your Pizza from Peppinos!
jm2375 ~ I mean. dey gotta bring your mail anyway, right?
Kekoa – you so funny. 🙄
bbl. gotta pick up kid from school.
jm2375:
Peppino’s is at 23 Hoolai St. Tiny street between Oneawa and Kainehe.
In our opinion, Round Table is not as good.
$14 will get you a 16″ pizza.
This week, Rivals predict Louisville to play the Warriors in the Hawaii Bowl.
Happy anniversary, Sweety & Mistah Punchbowl Keed!!!
We got married the day before my husband’s berfday so we would remember our anniversary, ‘cept we both forgot & used to celebrate it the day aftah. So lolo, but it still worked.
Glad to hear Pilares is well enough to play.
Kekoa/Koakane, put me down for Saturday at Bayview.
Hmmmm, $14…Spicy Popeye’s chicken or pizza??? I’ll take take the chicken!
If Pilares says it was painful to stand on the sidelines at USU ( I believe it was for everybody) then tweaks his foot in practice this week… how is he going to be ready to play SAT. I think a lot of players have returned to early this year…thoughts???
If the trainers/Dr.’s give the ok and they are able to practice during the week then play ball.
Mei Ling you are on da list! No forget your golf sticks!
Homes ~ Ordinarily I would agree with what you are suggesting for determining a players medical release status for practice or game. Let me show you some software that would help make a more helpful analysis of his situation. See you Saturday.
Oh my goodness!
Sweety!!! Birthday and then an anniversary?!?!?! With DPK, no less. Dang, woman. Do not over do it!
playing in pain when you are hurt is okay. an injury is another thing. great players suck it up and play in pain when hurt.
athlete’s greatest invention……tape.
Boss to me: What are you doing here?
Hmm. Did I forget to mention that I was coming home between games?
I hope DPK gets separate presents.
Kekoa,
No mo’ golf sticks, I sold them. Never really played golf, just putted around in my uncle’s yard in Kane’ohe. I thought that I would learn to play someday…
W-Doc, try to take a little time to relax each day, even 1/2 hr. The hospital is taking care of Dr.Doc, so take care of yourself.
If y’all see me rooting for UH and USF at the men’s basketball Verizon Classic, no hit me on da katonk. USF’s my alma mater & UH my hometown team. So, I get to yell for both. Hurrah!
When do you go back ST? Nice way to rack up some extra air miles!
re: trainers sending players back out too soon
not to ruffle any feathers but heard a rumor awhile back that one crusader LB who went on to play for da warriors (IC) was either misdiagnosed or sent back to play a little early and further damaged whatever was injured. take it FWIW cuz i heard it from the 5th person or so but just leaving it out there…
LWJ: This guy needs to hit the hole full speed and be ready to put his shoulder into someone. He has the size. His dancing in the hole has not worked. He needs to take the initial hit, and then, if he doesn’t get wrapped, he can then try to turn on the speed and find a seam. His long runs to date (2 if I recall correctly) were perfectly blocked and he wasn’t touched. That doesn’t happen often. He needs to expect to break at least one tackle before he can turn on his jets. He has the talent to do this. Hopefully this is the week.
Howzit Wafan!
No aspirations of sitting in the hot seat for dog catcher or President, huh? People don’t realize how much pressure is on you as a teamster’s union Tsaiko. All the chit you take for the team by being away from the Mother of all Ceded Lands.
Your shoulders are sagging a bit already from the mere mention of that fact I’ll bet. I can see it from here Bull! Take it easy and….
GO WARRIORS!
Mei Ling, we going make putting contest too! You can borrow.
Wena ~ Please make room on your busy Saturday schedule to stop into Bay View to join the fun. ST will be working and earning da Sweet Bread money, so you might as well come and hang out with da Tsaiko Ohana!
Maybe that’s what I need…a putting contest. I don’t know because I don’t do so well chasing around a white ball. 😳
Oh, WARNING! ~ Mei Ling…no borrow da putter from Homey. His one is da Fisher Price plastic kine. No mo quite da accuracy required to make those long money putts.
tako boy ~ Yep!…that’s exactly why the coaches and trainers need to look at the new technology available to give them more definitive answers to those “soft tissue” type of injuries. That’s what I’m talking about. Something that neither party has to “lie” about. Players will do anything to play, including masking injuries. Coaches and trainers will cave to the players and then wham! Owee again, only worse!
Kekoa:
We will be there Sat, but no buffet..gotta watch my girlish figure..all my putts slide to the left and then drop so I will be entering the contest 🙂
Kekoa . . .
Nah. I am just a worker bee. I do what I am told and I do it well without question.
Of course, being passive-agressive really screws with the heads of the administrators. I figure paybacks are hellacious for all the doo-doo they tell me to do. Sometimes I do what they ask just to show them it how little they know — good in theory but lousy in real life.
Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Kekoa . . .
You have a nephew going to Damien? What ANOTHER relative?!?!?!?! Dang!
That young man better know the alma mater!
Go Monarchs!!!
Go Warriors!!!
Wafan ~ Yep!…That’s why I live on the ‘Mother’ of all da Ceded Lands! Gotta keep da genealogy chartmakers gainfully employed.
Our feds at work. When I first heard this story I thought it was so silly. Now I think it is absolutely stupid.
Some of the brass from the FCC came out to a retired woman’s house in Seattle about a month ago. Their purpose was to demonstrate how simple it was for anyone to hook up one of those digital boxes and antennas for the old style analog televisions.
Sounds like a good thing to demonstrate.
It took them over an hour to screw it up — they could not figure out how to do it. Finally, they got the picture up with sound.
Congratulating themselves and smiling for the cameras the FCC brass told the local TV crew how simple it was to do! “Anyone can do this!”
Well, when they all left, the FCC brass had disconnected the old rabbit-ears type antenna, and took it and the fancy digital antenna with them. They left the free digital coverter box with her — it is useless without the digital antenna. So, she was left with an old non-functioning TV and a new digital converter box; but no fancy digital antenna.
The TV crew that was there realized what was going on and took up a collection to help the woman out. Today they went back to her home with a digital UHF-type (no not UHFan) antenna. After three cable connections and one electrical plug the TV was working. It took less than 10 minutes to do.
So much for the intelligence of our feds.
Duh, at least they did not drool on her carpet.
I think.
Kekoa . . .
That is not a chart anymore. You are waaaaaay beyond that already.
More like a trilogy!
Wafan ~ I told my nephew bettah he learn da KS Alma Mater if he goin’ mainland school. More expats know how to make Kalihi ring. When come to da Buttahfly song, errybody just kinna mumble in dere brew. You heard Koakane wen dey wen sing in dat bar in Kalihi? See what I mean?!
#136 great marital advice
Hmmm…Wafan you must be right. My fave trilogy at KS was “Men Against the Sea – Pitcarins Island and Mutiny on the Bounty.” That must have had an impact. The Mutineers still make up over 90% of that island to this day!
Al ~ That could lead to twin beds.
Kekoa . . .
Yes, I remember them singing the alma mater at Violet’s (I know it starts with a “V”). But, that was after a few. They all slur after a few. HA!
BTW I did enjoy our conversation that night!
So, what you are saying is that you are a mutinous isolationist who lives in a small community on ceded lands. Is that right?
Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
KS. They always looked down at Damien and Farrington.
Of course, they had to do that to see us. HA!
Evenin’ All.
Forgot to wish Sweetie and DPK a Happy Happy earlier. So solly. 😳
Lots of discussion about LWJ today.
It would be great to see him come up to potential and no better time to do it than this weekend.
Set him down and ‘splain to him about the need for urgency. His career is way on the downslope already; past time to make things happen!
kekoa…..worst case scenario separate rooms.
KS alum Tony Ah Yat to be inducted into Linfield Athletics HOF this weekend at a banquet after their game with W. Oregon.
Aikaukaunau…
Where is everyone?
Geez. It is enough to give a guy a complex. HA!
Good night! Time to check for new cracks in the eyelids. A long day of celebrating another election year and more meetings than any group of people could shake a stick at.
That is a strange saying — to shake a stick at something or other to express how many there are. HA!
wafan — “Good night?” already? Isn’t it only 8:30 PM in your part of the world?
I got a lot of things done today and just woke up from my nap…too bad it wasn’t a work day… 😐
L.W.J. is S.C.A.R.E.D. !!! He’s afraid of being hit. Why so many think he still should be in there(including Mcmackin) blows my mind. Pretty obvious why Nebraska wanted him to change position. Maybe he needs to be the hitter and not the hittee. Buggah no like bang,he playing the wrong game if he no like bang!
In other Tsai-ko news, it looks like only 99club (TX), Committed Road Warrior (AZ), and Mr. & Mrs. BNS (CA) are 100% certain for attending the UH-New Mexico game in Las Cruces.
I will forward their info to ST so he knows where the nearest Tsai-kos are on this road trip 🙂
SteveM . . .
My school day starts at 6:45 in the morning with classes beginning at 7:20. I know, crazy! But, we are out at 1:50! Whoo-hoo!
DPK & Sweety:
A most happy anniversary – DPK, you one lucky bugga!!!!!!
wafan — any plans to come visit again? Isn’t your next break around February? I suspect the February 17-24 area might get real interesting around here… 🙄
Slow night, eh?
Geez…can’t believe it’s only Wednesday!!!

tonight’s news.
curveball,
Howzit. 🙂
He’s a solid prospect. UH weight program will be good for him; need more strength to fight thru press coverage in CFB.
Plus, with all the “extra attention” from Big Bro, how can go wrong? 😉
Next chance to see him: next Friday night vs. Puns (ILH changed the date from Wed.)
d1?:
There is another hot receiver on the team..cant remember his name….whats the deal there…
Hi, again, gang.
I have a very good feeling going into the NMST game. It should be a solid win for us, the Warriors want to redeem themselves and finish out the season on a very high note.
FloridaTed:
I did not make practice today(probably because it was 3000 miles away) so I do not have any special info for you..but I totally agree about NMST game
curveball,
Lucas Gonsalves was doing real well until a broken collarbone (?) laid him up.
Understand PIAA DS was talking about him on AM1500 this morning.
Maybe someone else can fill you in on what was said.
We’ll be staying at the El Paso Marriott. Tell them to give me a call.
owweeee. lucas gonsalves is also a very good baseball player.
hey the queen bee casino is nearby the el paso marriott.
al,
…and basketball
btw, heard that he was sitting down pretty close behind the UH bench at a recent home game 😉
Gee al,
was it you talking about the casino or me talking about recruiting that the blog server didn’t like?
Queen Bee
1840 N Lee Trevino Drive # 704, El Paso
Hmmm…
must be al?
I’m sure that Mac has done a number of interesting things during his career to motivate his players (laptop destruction, etc.)…but I don’t know if he’s done anything like this before.
Waitaminute.
There’s a casino nearby?
I thought this was posted here, but I can’t see find it so I’ll post it again. This 5-star JC DT lists UH on his interest list. He has 3 years to play 3 and recently decommitted to Oregon and he’s upset with Oregon’s coaches. I hope that UH has contacted him…I know that UH coaches have ties to both Arizona and Oregon.
6.8 miles, about 14 minutes
…according to Guugle Map
…and I don’t see any international border along the route…
the map leads you to Vista Hills Shopping Center.
How convenient? 🙂
Report about how Obama’s win boosts Chicago’s chance to get the 2016 Olympics.
Garret,
You sure they didn’t mean Obama City, Japan? 😕
anyone heard from bighilofan2?
For that matter, whatever happened to Big Hilo Fan (the original)?
Free play link time. Please ignore my next 5 posts if you do not want the off-topic stuff.
US News & World Report has now gone from a weekly publication to every other week to (rumored) just once per month.
Interesting how conservative special operations officers have been praising Obama since early in the primary season because of how Obama could get our allies to listen and share with us more and how he could undercut the message that our enemies are saying about America.
UC-SD scientists are working on a “field hospital on a chip” that will eliminate the need for sick or wounded soldiers to take drugs–their medications will be automatically given to them by their uniforms! ONR gave them $1.6 mil for this effort.
Study found that autism occurs more in kids that grow up in rainy areas.
It is hard for me to believe that once-dominant CBS News came in FIFTH last night in the ratings for their coverage of the election–ABC, NBC, CNN, and Fox News beat CBS:
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2008/11/early-ratings-s.html
If you count the time period from 8pm to 12:30am EST (which includes McCain’s concession speech and Obama’s acceptance speech) then CNN was #1, followed by ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox News:

d1shima,
McCain really upset the International Olympic Committee, so I’m guessing the organizers of the other 3 Olympic candidate cities were hoping that he would win. It is a fortunate coincidence for Chicago that the President-elect is from their city and will be dominating the news during the period of time when they are deciding which of the 4 cities gets the 2016 Olympics.
…and one of the first moves Delta is making in their merger with Northwest is to match the $15 charge for 1st checked luggage
The Las Cruces newspaper has an article praising what Dooley has done with La Tech.
SJSU update.
Utah State is happy with their red zone D in the UH game.
Garret,
Is the Las Cruces paper chronicling successes of other WAC coaches to contrast Mumme’s tenure?
Is Dancing With the Stars on tonight or something?
DPK and Sweety: Many more!!!
Congratulations
d1shima,
I think that there were articles in the past on how certain WAC coaches were in danger of losing their jobs due to the struggles of their teams. That paper also mentions how BSU has dominated Utah State, though Utah State’s 4-10 record vs. BSU is probably comparable to UH’s record vs. BSU.
Utah State sure has a tough stretch of WAC games. Fresno State, UH, and BSU all in a row!
Looks like we gave them a “bye” before their matchup with Boise State… 🙁
One and done!
ONTO LAS CRUCES!!!
UH 38
NMSU 24

Whoa Kazz!…I should just award you a prize right now for most dedicated and optimistic fan of the week!
You know there was a certain veteran sportscaster that witnessed your outburst at Therapy’s and was very impressed with your passion for the Warrior team. He described what he saw on AM 1500 this morning.
Having said that, there was also a certain table partner of yours that ended up wearing her drink home! Be sure you exercise damage control when you see myki on Saturday. Mahalo!
Go Warriors!
hey d1….i disappeared for a moment.
beside the casino there’s also a racetrack west of the el paso marriott.

It’s unlikely that SEMA Show influenced the table limits in El Paso…GO FOR IT, STEPHEN!
Oyasumina-tsai….
Cici’s Pizza
cashier: 2 buffets, 2 drinks, that’ll be $ 15.04 sir
me : Ok (hands over a twenty an 4 cents $20.04)
cashier: thank you, here’s your change, $4.92
me : Um………….you actually owe me five bucks
cashier: wha…, wha…., no,….what, oh, wha…., I need help!
Food was OK, nothing special, dessert was the best part.
I would go back for a quick lunch, but not for dinner.
The trailer park crowd was out there in full force, including me wearing shorts and a 10 year old UH Tshirt in 55% weather
LV ~ That change thing with the cashiers of today are a real scream! That same scenario happens more often than not. Then when they call the supervisor, it gets even worse…she can’t count change back to you correctly either, so she says, “Sorry the computer’s down.”
Howzit Kekoa-sensei. Please put me down for Sat. But no be huhu if I pull a jojo or am late, OK? Domo arigato.
When that happens, I tell them, “I’m a mathematician, trust me.”
I love that look when I’m at the store, the cost is something like $3.86, and I give $4.11. They look at me like, “Why are you giving me 11 cents?” Then they punch it into the computer, and they see that I get a quarter back. For some, the “light” goes on; for others, they go, “Oh.”
my alma mater fired their coach today after three seasons in which his teams beat Texas in 2006 and 2007 and went to one bowl in 2006. If K State win 2 or 3 this season they become bowl eligible. He gets 1.1 million buy out…win or move on, UH coaches get a longer leash to develop a winning program, at UH a winning record of 52% appears acceptable…
nigh nigh time. BTW- I’ll ask Kymry to make cookies for Saturday’s game. Remember the beautiful H cookies at the Nevada T-Gate? We won, right?
Last night she made cookies for a friend running for a public office. He also won.
So there!
Nitey nite and Sweet Warrior Dreams!
Dang, the Tsai-ko’s at Night crew must have the night off.
Goooooooood morning Tsai-ko land!
Is this what was meant by “All Quiet on the Western Front”?
SteveM . . .
Sadly, I do not have any trips planned for Hawai’i until next July. Hopefully, I will be home in time for the next Blog Anniversary Bash.
Want to thank all of you in Hawai’i for sending all of the rain you had last week our way this week. The forecast for today is for 6″ to 10″ of rainfall in some places. Not.
I thought it was an error so I checked another channel. Yep. 6″ to 10″ of rain. Today. Shoot, the rivers will crest, again. Good thing I checked the maps for elevation and geology reports before buying the house. Good drainage and on a slight elevation. Yeah! No flooding in my crawl space!!!
Not that I could fit in the crawl space. HA!
So, . . . about the checked bag fees.
If they attribute fuel costs as the reason for the additional fee would it not make sense for the fee to be based on distance traveled? It takes more fuel to go from here to HNL than to go from here to LAS. But the bag fee is still $15. Why?
I think it is just another money grab.
For heaven’s sake. Charge me the additonal $15 on the airfare but leave the bag fee off — it will give me illusion of getting something for a $500+ airfare. You already cram us into ridiculously small spaces, cut back of minimal services, charge for a boxed snack/meal (when I saw what was in there I refused to buy one), charge for “sanitized” headsets, do not really fold or clean the blankets or pillows (found “stuff” on a blanket and what appeared to be drool on a pillow on one flight, and get better service from a foreign hormonal emo teenager at the local corner mart.
Dang. Sorry about the rant. I feel better now.
Michael Crichton died. He took the dinosaurs with him.

Are you sending out the “Tagged” messages? Received one this morning about 3:30.
Looks like rail is a go in Hawai’i.
Welcome to the future!!!
Off to school. Have to fill their heads.
See you later today.
morning gang!
anybody home?
so i guess the boss doesn’t read the blog
hmmm, at first i thought you was talking about the former yokohama on queen st.

Howzit Whitey!
I’m crossing my fingers and hoping to ride the SF over with Pops, Diana and maybe Kimana. We may be bringing a small kine celeb (in his own mind!) with us who’s wanted to meet you guys. If we don’t make it, he will still be coming to do some work there over a 3 day period.
We will be there to visit Ohana, watch the B-ball tournament and slide in to Tiffany’s for a little Maui Moo Call with you and the Duffer man.
The only thing that has prevented us from coming sooner is our scheduled appointments peppering the calender. I’ll keep you posted.
morning tsaiko country how is everyone hanging?
looks like another beautiful day on Hawaii nei.
like you all can’t wait for saturday and see what warrior team will show up. if cmac is dumping the qb platoon system thinking he may use inoke as running back since pilares is moving to slot ( wondering out loud) any whatever happens sat will a good time.
aloha kakahiaka!
Great Morning All!
Looks like the night crew is checking in a little late.
Dasauryte…like Happy Hour, it’s nighttime somewhere!
Koakane ~
We got troubles coming to da TV-gate! Look at post #216. We go to plan ‘B’ wen she shows up. Hehehe!
hmmm. Inoke needs to be the b/u QB, right? Otherwise who is there? Shane? Jake?
Wow, our former UH players are making big $$$$bucks!!! (See this ams article). Especially cited Laboy, Sapooga, Pisa….I hope they have it in their hearts to give more to their alma mater who gave them their start…
Good morning Tsaikoville! Hope everyone has a great day.
Runnin’ late….
runnin’….
HiHo…
kekoa, sounds good. i will be out of town from 18th to 27th. going to cold country to freeze my okole (and maybe cure my hem______) aaaahhhhhh.
Good morning Tsaikos!
Thank you all for your kind remarks.
We had a busy day yesterday and weren’t on the blog. We look forward to seeing you all soon. 🙂
COLT WATCH!
http://theredskinsblog.com/2008/11/06/thursday-november-6-we-missed-a-chance-at-an-entire-practice-of-colt-brennan-as-jim-zorn/
Liz,
Shane and Jake are not there. Brent Rausch is there with Inoke as the backups.
hoohiki, would be nice to see a state of the art training room for all UH athletes and the site would be called the UH NFL Alumni Hall. It would be built with money from former players who are/were in the NFL and would have their pictures put in various places in the hall. That would be something else!!!
Ferd = Spud?? on 1420 now
LWJ seems to have all the tools to be a greta running back but not in this offense. He kind of reminds me of Adrian Murrell from Leilehua who fluorished at WVU from the I formation. LWJ would be awesome as a tailback with a blocking fullback leading the way and also a good QB that can take pressure off the running game and keep defenses honest.
Btw, our defense was not too good on 3rd and long. Giving up big plays, penalties, blown coverages, etc allowed USU to take advantage.
“Hawaii, we have a problem”
on a second thought, call it the UH Professional Players Hall. That way any former UH players in any professional sport could donate to UH. This is doable.
Good morning Tsaikos everywhere.
D1
I’m stll here, lurking mostly, plenty work, computah slow, yada yada.
DPK an Sweetie,
belated happy anniversary.
WDoc and DDoc,
howzit howzit. hope you feeling better Doc.
and to all my Tsaiko friends, like I told some kids at practice yesterday:
if Barack Obama can become President, you can achieve anything you want if you put your mind into it, play straight, play hard, work hard.
that goes for coaches too. That goes for all of us.
Go Warriors! 36-20.
Hi whitey,
San Diego has weather?
whitey,
I’m sad that I can’t go to the screening, as it sounded interesting when J sent me the info. When my kids are a little older we’ll use babysitters more and not worry so much about bedtime. Plus, with Katie’s situation I try not to be away from her during the evening hours. I’m already home all day to watch over her…
It is 70 degrees now where I live and the forecast has the temperature rising to 77 later today. My daughter’s preschool is a little more inland and it should be around 80 for the high today. Sunny day, no rain.
We were at Legoland on Sunday when it rained…it rains so rarely here that everyone was pretty surprised. Luckily, it was like a Kaneohe morning shower–light and over quickly, off and on for a few hours. It was sunny and clear by the afternoon, but the big thing was that there was basically no line on the rides! Now I know to take my kids to Legoland in the afternoons after it rains in the morning.
puboxer, welcome to the family and a good morning to you.
Back to work…I’ve got to finish this $%#@ document before my lunch meeting. Describing the origins of my company, the management team, revenue projections, and our legal advisors in just 3 pages is tough.
k. Brent is there… shoots, go fo broke, Inoke!
This is a cute video from the Colt link on Zorn… sure reminds me of someone!

THE STORY OF THE OLD FARMER
By Judy Marshall, Ph.D.
(A Chinese/Zen Fable, as told by Judy Marshall)
There once was an old farmer, who lived in a remote region of the mainland, where the terrain is rough and the villagers manage to eek out a meager existence only through hard work and the grace of God. One day someone left the gate open on the farmer’s pasture, and his only horse ran away. Now this was a very grave situation, indeed, as in these parts it is said that one horse is worth ten sons or the earnings of a lifetime. The villagers, hearing of this great loss, came to console the farmer. With pity in their eyes of those who are glad it did not happen to them, the villagers shook their heads and moaned in unison that the running off of a horse is a terrible thing. The farmer, who was very wise, accepted their consolations, and shaking his head, muttered calmly, “We’ll just wait and see.”
Within a week the horse had returned, bringing with it three wild ponies of such magnificence only heard of in the ancient fables. The villagers all came to witness and marvel at these wondrous creatures, and some brought gifts in the hope of incurring favor as now the farmer was a very rich man. With envy in their eyes, the villagers applauded the farmer for his good fortune. But the farmer appeared unmoved, and showing neither pride nor excitement, accepted their blessings, stating calmly, “We’ll just wait and see.”
Three days later, after the villagers had gone home, the farmer’s only son was out breaking in the new ponies. But their magnificence was matched by an unexpected strength, and the second pony threw and trampled the farmer’s son, leaving him near dead with two broken legs. There were tears in the old peasant’s eyes as he carried his child off the field. The son survived the critical period, and his bones were set, but as the villagers gathered to hear the news and lend support, the doctor could not pronounce if the son would ever walk again. With eyes like smug rodents whose faith in themselves is confirmed when ill fortune attends to a lucky man, the villagers shook their heads, lamenting what a tragedy had occurred for the farmer, who now had a cripple for a son. The old farmer thanked them for their concern and condolences, calmly saying, “We’ll just wait and see.”
The farmer’s son did begin to recuperate, but it took a long time. The farmer was now poorer than ever, as he had no son to accompany him in the fields, and no one wanted to buy the ponies because they were afraid. Yet, by the help of occasional gifts and his own labor, he managed to gather just enough to feed his family, always giving the best of whatever he had to his son to encourage his recuperation. During this time the other villagers flourished as much as poor villagers can, and as those who are better off are wont to do, they were generous with their sympathy for the farmer for having a crippled child.
For no reason that had anything to do with the village, the king from his palace far off in the capital city declared war on a neighboring country. That was how it came to be that in the spring, just as the old farmer’s son was taking his first steps, the government officials appeared with orders to conscript all the able-bodied young men into the army. The only son in the entire village who was not drafted was the old farmer’s.
“How lucky you are, old man! We are sending our children, our very seed off to war, probably to die,” one or another of the villagers yelled out as they bade farewell to their departing sons. Full of tears, their eyes showed no particular emotion toward the farmer, so overcome were they with their own grief.
The farmer watched the leave-taking, and his heart went out to the villagers as he was a kind and compassionate man. So, he answered softly, “We’ll just wait and see.”
