Prep work
Head coach Norm Chow has made arrangements with two Los Angeles-area high schools to serve as practice sites during road trips this season.
The plan calls for L.A. to serve as a hub city. On the week of a road game, the Warriors will practice on Thursday morning at UH, then depart for L.A., where they will stay overnight and then conduct a light practice at one of the prep schools on Friday morning. The Warriors then will either take charter buses or a charter flight to the city where the game will be played. The exception, of course, is the USC trip. The Warriors will stay put in L.A.
* * * * *
There still is no word on whether UH telecasts on the Mountain West’s cable affiliates — NBC Sports Network and CBS Sports Network — will be part of the pay-per-view package or will be blacked out in Hawaii.
One thing is certain: Chow likes the idea of UH playing a home games in the afternoon.
In particular, he wouldn’t mind if Boise State (whose game here kick offs at 2 p.m.) uses the sunnier sideline.
Don’t think the Broncos will protest. After all, for years the Broncos insisted that wearing their blue jerseys while playing on their blue turf was not confusing to opponents.
And this gives me a chance to post a picture of the turf sample that Boise State passed out at last year’s MWC Media Day:
* * * * *
Word is that Su‘a Cravens, who is being recruited by everybody, still has UH among his considerations. He is the younger brother of UH defensive end Siaki Cravens.
* * * * *
With Siaki Cravens projected to miss significant time while recovering from a torn labrum, Tavita Woodard is expected stay at defensive end. Woodard practiced at tight end for more than three weeks, often with the first-team offense, before moving back to defensive end for the Warrior Bowl.
* * * * *
Today is the last day of classes for UH students.
Study up, people. Next week is finals.
Good morning Tsaikos Voted
Secondo!
Good idea to stop on the W Coast. Hope there’s no smog.
Happy to come in after honorable whitey-san. I guess I can safely wish him a good morning to him, because nobody else is here! 😆
Good Morning to you too, slugger! Cookies for errybody! 🙂
Hi DPK n whitey! Happy Aloha Friday, y’all!
I owe you lunch sometime, Slugger! Your hotdog meant the world to me!
establishing a base camp for da warriors is something new, but think it has merits. it is easier to get to other destinations from there. you can have unofficial visits from recruits. warriors with families and friends can see each other. da warriors will have a familiar place to practice.
dpk and slugger, a top of the morning to you.
d1, enjoy the spring in the pnw and should get a hold of 3 prong for sum spring chinook. according to a lot of people, spring chinook is the bestest of all salmon, guaran ballbarens.
Ya just know that the LA base camps are gonna help Coach Chow recruit in the area. Nothing the Coach does is by chance. At least it looks that way so far.
Happy Aloha Friday DPK
Lotsa spam but no rice.
Go Warriors
GOOD MORNING HAWAII!
Nothing’s wrong with letting the BSU people getting a little suntan while in Hawaii. Winters in Idaho can be fierce!
DPK – could you drop me a e-mail at tommui(at) hawaii(dot)rr(dot)com.
Lost your e-mail address.
VOTE!
Good Aloha Friday! Coach is into planning and details, I like all his preparation! Looking forward to that first game and a W!!! Got to believe to receive right! Go Warriors!
I really like the idea of LA being a “hub.” Such a simple idea that will help in recruiting and players performance… Great idea Coach Chow!
Yes, the omission of the high school names was intentional.
It was one of those: If-I-tell-you-I’d-have-to-kill-you situations.
Good morning everyone!
ST — I think the door is open on yesterdays blog entry. The SPAM is getting real creative. 😐
Morning BP! Have a great day, my brother!
Tom –
Check your email, good sir!
wednesday was the last day of classes. thursday and friday students have off to study. in any case good luck to all those student athletes with finals and a pre-congrats to those graduating!
ST, just wondering, why does your article on the addition of San Jose State and Utah State to the MWC say that “the proposed alliance between C-USA and MWC will no longer be pursued”?
Both the C-USA and MWC press releases this morning said the conferences are continuing to explore such an alliance.
“Conference USA and the Mountain West will continue to discuss a future affiliation that could begin as early as 2013. Both Conferences agreed that adding membership at this time was important and have carefully coordinated new membership plans. Additional expansion remains a possibility.”
http://www.conferenceusa.com/genrel/050412aab.html
“Those next steps include continued consideration of a future association between Conference USA and the Mountain West. The two leagues have synchronized their new membership decisions and are still determining what form the alliance will take.”
http://www.themwc.com/genrel/050412aag.html
Is there something you know that the conference commissioners aren’t telling?
Same to everyone else, have a great Aloha Friday.
Can wait for the season to start.
The conferences might be talking, but I was told that the proposal of that super conference that appeared to be imminent several months ago isn’t happening soon. (I’m talking about the proposal where there’s an East-West format with the UTEP in the West.)
I’m sure the sides can work out bowl agreements with each other, though.
I think we need to change May Day to May Month.
To avoid scheduling conflicts, more May Day programs are not on May 1. Just heard of one school having its program on May 20.
Good morning Tsaikos!
Happy Aloha Friday!
Congrats to the Bows on their win last night.
GO BOWS!
GO WAHINE!
GO OWLS!
ST – Manoa Elementary, back when Screecher was there, called it, “May Celebration” and had it on the 3rd Friday in May (when they were still on the old schedule).
chow man has great insight and thinks out of the box.
day dream believer…imagine if 5 star su’a cravens makes an early commit to hawaii?
he could create a huge backdraft to manoa.
Anyone know if UH is going to be paying subsidies to Utah State and SJSU? This is looking more and more like the WAC with subsidies.
Previous HC’s hub was LV.
Current HC’s hub is LA.
What happens if a future HC has ties to NYC?
….I’d bet the Blog Host wouldn’t mind!
hey didn’t the previous hc have two homes in lv??
ST, mahalo for the response. I see where it makes sense for the conferences to keep their distance from each other for awhile. That will reduce the ability of the departing schools to mount legal challenges to paying exit fees. I understand that for C-USA in particular, millions of dollars are owed by the departing schools.
jeff…i’m with you. we shouldn’t be paying travel subsidies to any mwc entries after we got in.
Agree wif Jeff and al.
In the meantime, VOTE:
http://www.seniorclassaward.com/vote/softball_2012/
what i’d do in this case…
i agree with chow that 2 pm games would be good for our opponents to bask in the sun.
i agree that they(opponents) should occupy the mauka sidelines (more basking).
i’d sit down with under armour and come up with a special opponent uniform for home games that (you guessed it) match the field turf color at the aloha stadium.
and of course sell matching green tshirts to all fans…under armour brand of course.
Sua Cravens is a 4-5 star recruit..
I think things are going to get complicated soon.
For instance, if there’s a four-team playoff, and the SEC probably wants to get two of the teams in, then that means only three of the six BCS conferences will be left out. And further extend that to the non-AQ conferences, and you’re talking about a lot of schools with no chance at not only a playoff spot, but a big-bowl payout.
I’m just wondering when a Big East school is going to figure out it’s a pain in the butt to travel to Boise for a league game.
may the 4th be with you.
I didn’t mind Las Vegas as a hub.
Well, that was more like a week.
UH won’t be spending a week on the mainland anymore between road games.
Stephen,
Didn’t BSU’s new conference demand that the blue turf be removed to a common green turf? Wasn’t sure if it was the MWC or Big East?
Top of the morning tuh-yah mates!
L.A. here we come.
Sure hope the TV games are not blacked out. Radio would be the next option.
Boise St. Can keep there blue turf an stand in the hot sun. We want the shade.
Su’a Craven, stay home an play for your aina.
I was at the girls hs state softball tourney this morning. Was great to see FB Justin Vele working on the grass field with a personal trainer from Tactical Strength an Conditioning.
On the turf, LB Kamalani Alo, CB Mike Edwards, and former warrior, Safety Richard Torres where doing field work out as well.
Great job warriors! Put in work to make it work. The guy next to you is still sleeping, lol.
The weekend!
Huzzah!!!
su’a cravens is a socal resident.
A 2 o’clock bright and sunny start time for Boise preceded by heavy morning rains would be just about right.
Warrior Dave,
I think it was the MWC that told Boise they couldn’t wear all blue on their blue turf for home games. I don’t think they were told to remove the turf. Not sure about the BigEast though.
UH 2, USU 0. Solo HRs by Wartner & Aguirre. Ricketts pitches a no-hitter (again!) with 7Ks, 2 BBs.
GO WAHINE!
GO BOWS!
RE: Sua Cravens recruitment,
Is Siaki a senior? If he isn’t, having his big brother here might help. But if he’s graduating, it may not really matter.
jm that was the FSU game, we don’t play USU until Saturday.
😳
The Boise game is at 2 pm and the Nev game is at 4:30 pm. Didn’t JD get a lot of complaints the past few years, that the games got moved up to 6 p.m.? How come no one is complaining? For the 2 p.m. game, the tailgaters need to start boozing at 11 am to get the buzz going before going inside the stadium….
RIP Adam Yauch.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qORYO0atB6g
maybe the Wahine had a scrimmage. 😆
Craven ‘ohana from CA. Wonder what Malia’s gonna do? Hope Su’a comes here. Siaki has speed; hope his shoulder heals up well.
Way Kung at Mapunapuna might be a good CC place…eating here now.
Dang autocorrect…Wah Kung
I don’t know whether the UH-USU game will be televised but there is a game tracker on the USU athletic softball webpage. Hopefully UH will have its gametracker available as well.
Bam! Spam!
Congrats to Stephanie for another no hitter. Hope she wins the trophy.
Got to vote again for Stephanie. Nice name, don’t you think, Stephan?
Or was you guys talking about a delayed TV 12 game?
🙄
If we all just post three or four times, this blog can hit a 100…
even tho thars no foooooootball…tsai…
tsai=tsigh
let me just add, Wahine sweeps series with USU. just doing my part for reading the future.
0 chance on cravens He is considering UH out I respect that they gave his brother a scholarship when things didn’t work out at Utah. Sorry to be a downer but he is a 10 recuirt be recuirting by every sec PAC 12 big 10 school.
see what happens when spam is fed growth hormones.
Congrats to Stephanie Ricketts and Kelly Majam on earning CoSIDA Academic All-District 8 Honors! Way to go in the classroom, too!
Mack didn’t think the Makai side on day games would make a difference. He said, “we practice in the sun everyday”
Guess he didn’t know that practicing at 7am at Manoa is not the same as an afternoon in Halawa.
The boys were gassed in the sun while the BYU guys were in the cool shade AND with mist sprayed on them.
I’m glad Coach Chow is akamai and taking the shade.
Tommy Heffernan Earns National Honor.
5/3/2012 3:04:00 PM
” … ORLANDO, Fla. – University of Hawai’i Strength and Conditioning Coordinator Tommy Heffernan has been named Master Strength and Conditioning Coach by the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches association (CSCCa), the highest such honor given in the strength and conditioning coaching profession. … ”
Thanks to “uhwarriors”.
http://www.hawaiiathletics.com/news/2012/5/3/GEN_0503120646.aspx?path=gen
congrats to Stephanie, Kelly, and Tommy.
Nevada defeated BYU today 8-0. BYU now with 5 WAC losses.
wait a minute, wrong score, it was BYU over nevada 8-0 in 5. Sorry
UH has joined in the recruiting competition for JC CB Darren Doston.
Graham:
While the chances are slim, there is no chance if you don’t try.
What’s that saying? The worst shot is the one not taken.
Ralph has to report at 5 a.m. tomorrow.
Bring a book. You have to hold it over your head for 15 minutes.
the punishment for jm2375 should be more severe. at least Ralph corrected himself. 😆
We can’t punish jm2375.
This is her birthday week.
nothing ventured nothing gained
no chance to make the putt if you leave it short
doesn’t hurt to ask
worse she can say is no
you can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need
try and fail, but don’t fail to try
birthday week gal gets a pass. Ralph, show up at 5:00 a.m.
Florida defeated Bama 4-1 at Tuscaloosa this evening.
ralph is softball 5 or 9 innings?? Is the mercy rule changed to 8 for 5 innings??? Just checking cause am confused by the BYU score you posted.
Go Gators! wait you sure of that score?
Ralph is on the honor system about showing up because, well, that’s 5 a.m.
Or Ralph can sing tomorrow.
in the absence of Ralph, softball is 7 innings. mercy rule is leading by at least 8 after 5 innings.
whitey # 77 cp got it correct
Hmm Well I was just searching on yahoo and just came across your site, in general I just only visit blogs and retrieve my required info but this time the useful info that you posted in this post urged me to post here and appreciate your diligent work. I just bookmarked your site. Thank you again.
late afternoon peeps, have a safe weekend and be careful out there

2. If I try to search via “Lowes senior award”, I get “404 eror, site not found”.
3. Anyone having the same problem? I tried from 2 different computers-same thing.
Well, I’ll say this much in Ralph’s defense:
Nothing Ralph said made me
(1) frantically search my daily newspaper for the television listing of said softball game,
(2) curse such daily newspaper for not listing said softball game,
(3) frantically flip through the channels on my work television in search of said softball game,
(4) curse such work television for not carrying said softball game, and
(5) collapse in a corner, bitterly cursing the injustice in the world.
ai-eee-soos:
RE: Tommy Heffernan Earns National Honor…
If promoted properly, this could be huge in the recruiting wars… He is one of only 15 that have received this honor. That puts UH’s conditioning program in the elite bracket.
wtf? I, too, tried to access Lowe’s softball vote page and got this:
“404 Not Found
The server can not find the requested page:
http://www.seniorclassaward.com/vote/softball_2012/ (port 80)
Please forward this error screen to http://www.seniorclassaward.com‘s WebMaster. ”
Hmmmmm….looks like a cyber attack to me.
OK, game over. Stephanie wins!
Maybe all the Lowe stores in Alabama complained and HQ shut
down the contest to protect its market in Alabama…
🙄
BYU 8-0 over Nevada; Fresno State 4-0 over La Tech, Moses pitched her 12th shutout of the season; Oklahoma 5-2 over Texas in 8; Kentucky 4-3 over LSU in 8; Cal 9-1 smash mouth over Oregon State. Oregon leading Missouri 4-3 after 4.
Missouri is ranked 10th, Oregon 13th and UH at 12. we could move up if Oregon sweeps, or Oregon could jump us.
On this computer I just vote legally once every 24 hours.
I just voted on the Lowe’s award, it’s available, I’m using Chrome.
#90 = maybe there was one vote too many from the address.
Again there was that “SuperCoach” from Alabama who mentioned something to the effect of going through the backdoor.
Probably I am “collateral damage” and was eliminated by some
bad boys next to me…will try again 7pm my legal time to vote.
Congratulations on hard work rewards to
Tommy Hefferman and Stephanie Ricketts and Kelly Majam.
#85 –
The site comes up just fine on my browser. It wouldn’t let me vote at first, but if you hit refresh, it seems to work fine. Try that. It may be more cyber-shenanigans.
If you continue to have a problem, use the “Contact” link on the bottom of the Lowe’s Awards page to let the excellent Laurie Bollig know about the problem. She has done an excellent job at responding and managing these kinds of problems thus far. You may need to wait until business hours on Monday to get a reply from her.
Congrats to Coach Tommy and the ladies!
Wonhunnerd! 🙂
I’m not complaining this year. In fact, the national TV exposure is so great that we should shoot for 11:00 am or noon game starts.
Plus, with the additional 15,000-20,000 new season ticket pledges this year, UH can afford to lose a few thousand fans in the seats, right?
whitey softball games are 7 innings, but if by the bottom of the fifth if one team is leading the other by 8 runs (8-0 or 10-2) game over.
Na Wahine vs Utah is only on game tracker, no live stream audio or video, hard to believe that we could not work out some kind of deal with Utah to at least live stream the games back here.
Hmmmm…thanks for the tip, but did not need to refresh.
Now Lowe’s page comes up just fine. In fact, it let me vote
now before 7pm which is a bit unusual. Hmmmmm…
ralph and pomai, thanks. brain stay stuck in another mode.
Just got this on my FB page from Joe Onosai.
Sending prayers and heartfelt condolences to the Satele family; just heard that Papa Satele has gone home to the Lord. He was a loving and honorable man, and has left a tremendous legacy behind in his children and grandchildren. You will always be with us Papa Satele! Manuia lou malaga!
Catch Report. Hooooo Some Tired, fished the Willamette hard today. Saw some osprey, bald eagles, fed wild geese by hand behind the boat while trolling at .8 mph, ate smoked spring king w creme cheeze and ritz and drank some awesome microbrews while we waited for the bite. Saw couple of the other boats land #20 lb chrome brights but we werent so fortunate. Fish finder was going off all day but kings d/n cooperate. Kind of frustrating. Ended the day by targeting, landing and releasing a handfuls of small sturgeon. At least got to fight fish and watch drag go. Thats why they call it fishing and not catching. Still an awesome day fishing w/ friends and enjoying pacific nw beauty. Got the invite for next year too…… Next time.
Go BASEBOWS!!
Listening to da game on the radio while riding da bus home from work.
3 Prong, i jealous.
good night tsaikos. brain still stay lock, so calling it a night.
3-prong,
You only fishing one day? I love king salmon…had a 25lb that got away decades ago. Someday I’ll go fishing again.
Condolences to the Satele family.
Whitey,
Fishermen know the feeling. Friends said that there was too much water with record rainfall they”ve been having. Expecting bite to go off within the next 3 weeks as water warms to 52 degees from today 48 and as water levels drop and clarity improves.
Going to get his recipe for the smoked salmon. Was more ono than the Pikes Market one I picked up a few months ago.
Slugger,
Should try oregon. Fishing is literally in Downtown Portland. More economical than alaska but comparing both, no comparison because it is catching and not fishing in alaska. Cannot compare fresh king quality of both because “side bolo” today. At least you had um on!!!!!
UH baseball redefining “@55 whooping” tonight against NMSU. Aggies are falling apart on defense. They manage to turn a simple out to a hard one.
14-1 bot 3rd. Fourth pitching change this inning.
Mercy! Too bad no more mercy rule in college baseball. 😀
JM-supposedly mercy at +10 after 7 innings.
Basebows!!!
Lawd ha mercy!
Guess there is a mercy rule!
How ironic is it that the Bows mercy rule NaMaSU at the Les?
Congrats to the Bows!
isn’t siaki cravens a candidate for medical redshirt?
kerry rupp is accepting an asst coach’s position with montana.
Jm ….now that’s is two errors on your part….you older than me hahaha…I’m 65..if you’re older than can allow you to use that as an excuse…yes there is a mercy rule in college baseball and by the way Happy Birthday
Oldtimer- the first was definitely my brain turning to mush, the second was ignorance of the rules of college baseball.
darren doston 6’2″ 195lb 4.4 37″ squat 400 bench 320.

I think jm still feeling the comatose affect from last night celebrating her birthday.
Congratulations to the MPI Owls! They will play Campbell tomorrow night for the state championship!
let it be known that on her birthday week jm???? called herself ignorant.
the roop is on fire!
one report said that he shot 46% from the arc.
how many points did he score?
thank you for all your efforts that you have put in this. Very interesting info. “Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.” by Clive Staples Lewis.
Na Wahine at Utah State on Saturday at 10 a.m. HST, available on Utah State Game tracker only.
Let it be known that al-san will *not* be getting any tcc tomorrow night. Although he may get the lead slippah!
Ok Jm you get a pass on the ignorance but the brain turning into mush well I guess we can pass you on that too since we all have those moments too when our brains turn to mush….mushie…mushie
Mahalo Ralph will check the game tracker tomorrow in between my yard work or should I go to the golf driving range instead
No forget, tomorrow is Boys’ (Children’s) Day and Cinco de Mayo. 😀
