Rise and shout
The Warriors’ sweet dreams were interrupted with the BAM!-BAM!!-BAM! pounding on their doors this morning.
It was 5:30 a.m.
With physical-training captains at full volume and rage, the Warriors were out of their room, in full training wear, and ready for a morning workout that would make an officer and a gentleman wince.
They met outside their dormitory-styled barracks, in two straight lines. But some were sent back to their rooms for failing to wear socks. Others were berated, then sent back to put on their workout shoes.
After push-ups on the dew-moistened lawn, they marched to a field where they spent the next hour doing military-styled exercises.
When a player made a pained look, Chief Nixon Galon yelled: “You’re only doing this one day. We do this every day.”
The PT leaders said the exercises were a way to instill the physical and mental discipline needed in the fourth quarter.
Head coach Norm Chow said it was a lesson in appreciating the sacrifices made by those who serve the country.
“I told our guys, we get to go home this weekend,” Chow said. “Some of these guys are going off to war. Their family and loved ones don’t even know if they’re coming back or not. We know we’re going back to a comfortable life, a privileged life to play football. We want to think about others who are making sacrifices.”
After the session, the players marched to the PacAF building, a concrete facility that once housed 3,200 military personnel. It was on Dec. 7, 1941, when Japanese attackers, who had run out of bombs, sprayed the building with bullets. The holes still remain.
The Warriors then thanked the leaders in their own style. They performed a rousing haka.
Go warriors!
Very cool post ST
Wow, Sounds awesome!
Hey Don – in response to you in the last blog:
*****************************************************************
Don – since most folks (excluding the faithful on the Warrior Beat) have such short retention spans, the Admin probably handled it this way by deflecting the facts:
Bozo #1:Where’d the money go?
Bozo #2:Hey, nice day today.
Bozo #3: Did you hear the Stevie Wonder concert was canceled? He never knew about it.
Bozo #2: Think I’ll take off & go play golf.
Bozo #1: Who should we blame?
Bozo #2: Anyone want to join me?
and on and on and on……………
Way to go, Warriors!!! I luv it!
Now that’s what I am talking About “In Chow We Trust”
Go Warriors Both Military and Football Players
Morning Tsaikos!
Rich you are too hilarious!!!!!
Woohoo top ten, ok back to lurking. Sure wish there was some video.
PT!
ST – great post!! Why do I get the feeling it’s a much different leadership under Chow. He seems very “in your face” 24/7 where it appeared Mac was only that way behind closed doors.
ST & Tsaiko Blog Dogs:
Military members do their duty by choice and not by chance. They often become victims because of leadership leading them to wars and conflicts. May they continue to be strong of will and steadfast in purpose.
Go Warriors!
Good morning Tsaikos
BTW, on a side note and since many of us have been afflilated with the military in some fashion, I’m begging everyone to boycott NBC’s Stars Earn Stripes. What a stupid concept that brings a war-type video game to life and trivializes the sacrifices that the men and women of our great armed forces endure on a daily basis. The only way to win at war – come home alive!!!
ST: can’t believe you were there in the barracks at 5:30 am. Lol. Love the pictures.
Reminds me of my military days and basic training.At 4 am drill Sgt. enters the dorm, flicks on all the lights and starts screaming. Ten minutes to SS&S he barks which always felt like 5 minutes before he came in again ordering us to fall out for PT.
You are going to get BHF2 to jact up he’s going to be on a plane shortly after reading this.
Is all of this going to translate into a competitive football team that wins its games? We’ll see.
Chow has a lot of work to do to be considered in the same class as June Jones, who successfully turned around both UH and SMU.
Go Warriors.
Makes me wonder why the previous coaching staff never tapped into this opportunity. GO WARRIORS and GO NUTS!
What is SS&S ? It translates to bowel movement,shower and shave.

Some people are just not morning people. I thought Calen Friel was ready to kill when he opened his door.
Then again, Luke Ingram had that scrunched-up look: “I will NOT quit. I will NOT quit.”
Revelry –
Most excellent.
West Point, Navy and Air Force cadets all do it every day.
That is beyond awesome!!!!!!
This is a dream come true that I didnt even know I had.
ST & Tsaiko Blog Dogs:
Don’t forget the mess hall breakfast of champions, S&S! (s**t on a shingle)
Good morning Tsaikos!!!
I love it….!!!
“…push-ups on the dew-moistened lawn…”
🙄
It’s heartwarming to see the gents get taught life shaping lessons through football. Not only will it pay dividends on the football field but it will hopefully instill in them the virtues of personal sacrifice in service of others. Past coaches may have had success on the field but for the longest time we forgot what this program was about….at times we may have not had the best players in the country or the fanciest facilities but we beat teams higher rates than us because we fought “together”….
Teams that have superior athletes and limitless budgets win a lot of games…..Teams that play for each other and for a cause bigger than themselves make history.
Chow hasn’t won a game yet but how can you not appreciate the methodical process he goes through to “build” this team. Hope it translates into “W’s”…..I got a feeling it will.
ST: so after PT, were they allowed to go back to their rooms and sleep for a couple of hours?
good morning 808 country
by the pics, liking the discipline…in the long run helps tremendously
double days has begun and sure the warriors must luv these days when the clouds block out dat sun
Teams that have superior athletes and limitless budgets win a lot of games…..Teams that play for each other and for a cause bigger than themselves make history.
Love that quote cincodemayonnaisse!
gigi…
I know!… I’m still finding it hard to believe ST got up that early to take those photos… or did he? hmmmm…
Mornin, thanks for all the great pics of our Warriors. But shame on the player who gave the “pained” face.
Go Warriors
ST: how about some pics of the FUUD? Curious about the kind of spread the military offers.
UH administration needs a wake up call like that more than the players do.
Go Hickam “STRONG” hua!!
Gigi:
After that, they had breakfast, then they lifted weights.
There will be meeting until lunch.
Then an extended practice today.
Then dinner.
Then more meetings.
Wake-up call is supposed to be at 7 a.m., just like it was supposed to be that way today. As one player said: “I’m never going to trust the wake-up schedule again.”
Good morning Tsaikos!
I still don’t quite believe ST got up that early to go down to JBPHH to get the pictures. ‘Fess up, ST! j/k
BTW, I know I’m late on this subject, but quit harping on Hinshaw’s sabbatical. It’s SOP for academia. Since she’s been away from her area of research for a number of years, she probably needs time to get back up to speed. Sabbatical = paid professional leave. The faculty position was in her contract from the beginning from what I recall. And her salary is probably at the high end of the JABSOM scale, but not outrageous. Like every other faculty member, she will be expected to bring in grants to pay for her lab, research, staff, etc. She may even be expected to teach a course or two.
*getting down off the soapbox and returning you to your regular programming*
If anything, Chow is teaching the players good manners.
I noticed that after every interview, the players now say thanks and offer a handshake.
GOOD MORNING HAWAII!
I was hoping the memories of being awaken and screamed at before the sun even made its appearance would have faded by now – like a bad dream but ST’s remarks this AM had brought it all back!
RIP Arnold Horshack.
Jm:
I had to get up at 3:15 to make sure I left the house by 4. We were told to report at 4:45 a.m.
Robert Kekaula and I were the only reporters to make it.
Good manners never hurt anyone. My 2 yr old grandson says, “Yes, please.”
During the training, it started to rain.
Kekaula and I agreed it would look bad if we decided to look for shade.
Anyway, that’s why a couple of the pictures are blurry. I tried to wipe the lens with my shirt.
I have videos of the players getting yelled at, but I haven’t figured a way to upload them. I guess a Facebook friend could forward them.
One of the response chants was:
Are you ready?
Always ready!!!
ST: im sure youve been asked this many time already, but what time is practice today?
GO WARRIORS!!!!
Nice. I like the implementation of military style morning wake ups!
This is what our service men and women do for our country and if people cannot respect that and look down on it, they need to realize the world isnt all lolipops and candy cane strolls on gumdrop lane while on their way to smiley hollow to bathe in the soda pop lake.
Haha, reminds me of basic training when I was in the Air Force. The drill instructor waking us up 5 in the morning, screaming, throwing a waste basket down the middle of the aisle, giving us 10 to do the SSS. Then falling out in formation to do an inspection. Being a almost hair less Filipino, he finds the single hair on my neck, and sends me upstairs to shave the one hair I had, lol. Too funny, now that I look back, was’nt to funny then.
Nothing like good ole fashion drill sergeant in your face morning wake up… Make your morning exciting or apprehensive. ” I LIKE THE SMELL OF NAPALM IN THE MORNING” I did 30 years in US Army, boy do I miss it….GO WARRIORS …go kick some Trojan tail!!!!!
Anyway, it’s “SOS.” Getting up at 4:45 to make formation at 5:00 a.m. becomes second nature. With the flick of the light switch, everyone is up and moving. No big deal.
nice! too bad chow cant do this in the spring too.
Holy smokes…..Warrior Football team joining the Air Force…..games are going to
be easy compared to what they will encounter this week……
I love the smell of Napalm in the morning. They should have concluded with a training run around the entire base. Hoo-Rah!
Afternoon practice begins at 2:20 p.m. today. They’re going to go 24 periods. It’s 5 minutes per period, but that doesn’t include warmups and after-practice stretching. Bring sunscreen.
Tomorrow it’s at 9 a.m.
The sound of: “Where’s your shoes?” is still ringing in my ears.
One guy ran out without shoes. The leader says: “Too many concussions?”
Chow was getting emotional afterward. He said his father told him about that day when he looked up in the sky and all he could see were silver planes with red circles.
This historian there said there was a guy in Waikiki during the attack. Shrapnel pierced through his body and struck his young kid. Both died. The casualties just weren’t at Pearl Harbor.
Golly gee Sarge…

Gomer Pyle(Jim Nabors) Impossible Dream
(about 4 minutes)…
In the military I loved SOS and scrambled green eggs for breakfast , I still make it.
So did Kekaula bring along a camera to film the morning wake up.
The military is what put structure into my life.I still retain much of what my military service taught me.
Good morning!
Any photos of Mr. Tsai being roused from his deep slumber this morning?
Wondering if Schroeder memorized the haka yet.
And, thanks for the pix!
Go Warriors!
Any photos of Mr. Tsai being roused from his deep slumber this morning?
wafan – I don’t think we want to see that pix.
Congratulations to Justin and Leroy ….
Hawaii head coach Norm Chow confirmed that slotback Justin Clapp and safety Leroy Lutu are now on football scholarship.
( don’t know if this was posted yet. )
Beautiful
good news to hear about Clapp and Lutu.
ST
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. These pictures today were outstanding.
I am retired Army, and these pictures sure brought back a lot of memories. Nice to see Chow also teaching the team life lessons that the team will remember possibly for the rest of their lives.
I like winning as much as everyone, but it seems that what coach is doing to help give these young men some basic lessons in life is well worth our ability to be patient and give his methods an opportunity to bear fruit. All of this structure will certainly help them later on in life and for that I am most grateful that we selected coach to lead these young men.
I’m glad that Coach Chow is instilling some discipline in these kids. Getting up at 4am and getting your ass kicked is good for you. Those of us who did boot camps got a helluva lot worse than that. Toughen em up….train em up—- equals a better football team.
Good Morning Gangeez!
Awesome. Much Mahalo to the Hickam/Pearl people who have made this possible.
To our team and to our Armed Forces…
GO WARRIORS!!!
I got to eat at Hickam when I was in the Air Guard. The food was really good. So is the food at Pearl.
Clapp/Lutu story is in today’s S-A.
By the way ST, really enjoyed the pics. Go Warriors.
This might be the best post since Chow got the job!
RedZone: Lots of veggies? Or was it all meat?
I am sooo jact; tee ha
Nice, nice.
GO AIR FORCE!
GO WARRIORS!
Now that is a dedicated reporter. My applause’s to ST.
Is the use of a military facility and what appears to be military personal in the photos being paid for by the US taxpayer ? Somehow I see a problem here. Is this something that Fox News would have a field day with ?
Howzit, everyone!
Always good stuff when team-building.
St, your #44… (9:07 am)… Wonder if they could have some of these military trainers on hand during home games, and yell out to the team before each quarter, and have the boyz respond. Would be cool to have maintain that connection.
Need help with an incomplete recipe.
I got, caramel, nuts, one apple, and a pointed wooden stick.
It says dip apple in melted caramel then roll it in the nuts.
Now where am I supposed to put the pointed wooden stick?
jimmy the lock
haha!!!
Cool photos! I am really digging the boot camp for the team–lots of unity and bonding. Go Warriors!!!
Lots of former military amongst the Tsaikos. We can definitely relate. And I must concur… I really do miss the camaraderie and pushing ourselves to the max… staying in shape just so that you aren’t the “weakest link”, thereby letting your team down.
Go, Warriors!
Respecting Tsai and Kekaula for doin’ the heavy lifting and gettin to the story before the sunlight does. Way to be, men! Carry on…
Gratz to Clapp and Lutu.
Thank you ST!!!
chicken skin…I’m loving it.
we could make this in to a movie.
“remember the titans, er, warriors”
There were many civilian casualties suffered during December 7th. Quite a few in the Liliha area.
For decades many wondered what was the significance of Liliha to the Japanese military. Why did they specifically bomb the area.
It was later discovered gunners at Pearl didn’t have access to Anti Air Craft Shells. They were forced to use bombshells to shoot down enemy planes. It was like using a rifle to shoot down a moving target. Any bombshell that missed its target had to come down somewhere.
That somewhere, tragically, was Liliha.
Roger Dat, al!
Recall the scene in RTT in the morning at Gettysburg…can imagine Coach Chow giving a similar address in the early morning, sometime around 7:55 am.
Hoo…das chikkin skeen!
Good morning everyone!
Awww…I thought ST finagled a room on base.
Good to see who else has retired from the services (or still active) among the Tsai-kos. This opens up some possibilities… standby.
Military S-O-S has many variations but my fave is the hamburger type. Add hash browns. Hungry Lion used to serve it, and people would ask me, “You eat that…?” Pride of America ship used to serve a good one too, then stopped…lost half star off my fuud rating. 👿
Military dining facilities are good… and the price is right. 🙂

Last Call
UH is paying more than $100,000 to stay on base.
One of the stations said UH was out there as bonding. Yes, bonding is involved but the Warriors are there because they were evicted from the dorms.
jimmy the lock:
Obviously, you use the pointed stick to fend off any kid or kids who want to steal your apple…
Thanks ST. I was curious and not aware that UH was reimbursing them. I had visions of Bill O or some other Fox talking head making an issue out of it.
RE: #90
Last Call — I think ST mentioned that UH is paying “comparable rates” to dorm rates at UH for the week.
I do know that bases, especially an Air Force base, has “transient quarters” for personnel enroute to duty stations/leave. Hickam is like an airport with it’s own motel as it transports troops. These quarters are not free–even military pay a nightly fee for the quarters. Same with food.
So it is my guess that UH is renting enlisted barracks or transient quarters for the week. The UH training table $ certainly can cover the meals. I’m certain someone more familiar with the logistics can explain this better.
ooops– ST zipped in before me. Overall, I think this is a win-win situation for UH and Pearl/Hickam.
FNC has many other more “interesting” things to focus on.

Got ’em kk.
ST & Tsaiko Blog Dogs:
The pix reminded me of basic training some 40 years ago and the
“awakening” that I must go to college like my parents wanted.
When I was stationed in Korea I took a 14 day modified leave to Japan and got to stay at an airforce base transit barracks for free. All I paid for was the food.
So, is this a one shot deal? Or will all practices to be conducted with military discipline from now on?
Constant regiment garners lifetime results. A onetime deal only gives you a “Scared Straight” episode.
This is definitely better than staying in the dance studios on campus.
during the attack many schools were also hit. japanese intelligence was not that intelligent back then and they mistook the schools for military targets.
ajoe…my understanding is that the chow era re-introduced the discipline back in to the program.
we are now, truly, “not p.e. football”
Yah, break em down and build em up. Character building 101. Should help them in the 4th quarter of close games. Go Warriors.
Go get em Chow! Das ” in your pay grade”!!!!
A-joe was right in noting that many Honolulu (Liliha to Kaimuki) “bombs” were actually high explosive rounds fired from the ships in Pearl Harbor. Not something anyone wanted to talk about at the time, but sadly understandable as the ships were trying to defend themselves with whatever ammo they had at hand.
I was told my grandfather, a candy peddler with a truck (you could see all the jars of candy on shelves all along the exterior of the truck) was making his usual Sunday rounds at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. He made it back home to his 9 kids very shaken.
Hawaii girls playing Florida right now on da Deuce. (Little League Softball semifinal)
Waking up to an excited drill sergeant at at 5am might be a rude awaking for some of the football players but I am wondering how doing push ups and other exercises pose any challenge for these elite class of well conditioned athletes. Is it more of the environment and discipline that is the benefits of such an event?
A-Joe ~ I can help you with that 5 AM wake up call for a little taste of PT. I know some of those Leaders who can make house calls!
What really counts is how this team feels about this. They all go through it together, they all think this is crazy sh*t….they all think this is unreal—they will bond I hope…spent 2 years at Pearl Harbor…that went 3 weeks training camp….the mature Warriors as we call ourselves lived that experience…I have fond memories….and the food was the best I ever had—–Go Warriors—-I want fond memories of this year—-see you at CSU!!!!!!
Girls from da Wes’side
Mahalo ST for sharing the pics and as we so many of you, it brought back memories of my basic training many, many moons ago. I remember the first night, in the bunk below me, I heard soft crying to his mom. He was an 18 year old from Pittsburgh and there were five of us local boys in the barracks. That was 1965. I love what Coach Chow is doing and putting back a strong dose of discipline. I fore see much success for our program as we move forward despite the upper campus doing their version of the muddle huddle.
I love some of the newest funny picture websites I see these days..Your site is awesome!
I forgot to add that these were 3 sessions a day….after Sat scrimmage you got a pass to go by bus to the “Old Stadium” to watch a HS football game!!!!
Three of the girls said their favorite athletes are Jess Iwata & Steph Ricketts! WTG!
We got up alot earlier than 5:30 in Army basic training. I recall seeing eggs cooked to order on the daily breakfast menu. There were alot of eggs frying on the griddle so i asked for scrambled. The cook hit two fired eggs twice with the side of the spatual and put them on my plate.
And Last call and others, other teams are also on bases for Fall camp. Syracuse is training at one of my duty stations, Ft. Drum (New York), home of the famed 10th Mountain Division.
I like the valuable information you supply in your articles. I will bookmark your blog and take a look at again here frequently. I’m quite certain I’ll be told lots of new stuff right right here! Good luck for the following!
During my D.I. days, we kept the UH ROTC on a short leash during their 2 weeks of Summer Camp. Both day and night training sessions were scheduled. The local boys were always highly motivated by the pride of being from Hawaii. In competition with the other schools at camp, there really was no serious challengers.
I remember my popo telling my mom about seeing the planes from Alewa Heights and even running for cover cause they were afraid they might be shoot at.
bonding is good makes the combatants a “band of bruddah’s”
ST
Noticed on the 3rd pic, was that a DI or Coach without socks?
Great pictures of the team in formations.
Taking Basic Training at Schofield in 1958 was different from getting woken up by the sergeants at 0530 hrs. More like casually getting up in time to make 0600 hrs first formation. However, for the rest of the day, all day, the sergeants were screaming in your face, even striking our foreheads with the base of the open palms when you “didn’t get it.” As it they thought pounding it into your head would make a difference. I wonder if today the drill instructors would get away with that, without some congressman “inquiring about treatment of recruits from their home states”?
But then, the Korean War just ended five years prior and the Army was still getting ready for more.
I’m loving the discipline & the long term benefits of the military-like experience.
As mentioned earlier, this can only help our team throughout the WHOLE game, and season.
Something I’ll NEVER forget about the previous coach.. Was calling 2 consecutive timeouts because he wasn’t finished getting his point thru to the entire team. It was, and still is one of those things that I wish I could forget, but it’s the way that it looked is what made it so bad..
Anyway, I’m looking forward to not having to worry about that happening again with Coach Chow
Kaneohe Resident: Basic Training at Schofield…was that at Area X? CP tents on concrete slab? and latrines dug in the ground?
Annoddah Dave ~ If you have a large family visiting from the mainland, I can arrange for you to put them in those 40 man tents on the concrete slab. Porta-potties will be a big improvement over the slit trench you had to dig. They can all shower in the gym and pay a small fee for a fresh towel! (See me at the next T-gate).
Never too early for Airborne…..
Maybe next year Coach Chow can get Louis Gossett Jr. to handle PT. I give credit to our military as well as the Warriors; may they always fight to the end. Watch out USC. The score may be in your favor but expect one hell of a battle. I can’t wait.
#90 A-Joe and #122 koakane
My popo and Kung Kung and my dad’s family lived at the bottom of Nu’uanu, where the H-1 is now on Dec. 7, 1941. My aunty was over at my great aunty’s house where she helped with the daily chores. My aunty said that she was awoken by her aunty just before the first wave hit. As my aunty got out of bed, some people in the neighborhood were yelling that there were planes with red circles on their wings all over the place. One of those planes dropped a bomb in the Nu’uanu River and the shrapnel tore through my aunty’s bedroom. She said she was lucky she was woken up early otherwise she would have been killed.
Didn’t Coach Gib do this with his boyz out in Kaneohe before the start of this past season too?
I’d also read somewhere that there are quite a number of football teams that do some training with nearby military. I’ll go searching for it again when I’ve got some time. I looked for it when it was announced that Coach Gib was taking his boyz out to the windward side…
My Mom was enrolled at McKinley on Dec 7th. She lost a few of her classmates on that day.
Thanks to the terrific player interviews on Kekaula’s piece last night, you can tell that this experience is resonating with our Warriors. The whole backdrop and their experiences are having a positive effect. Eyes are getting harder, hearts are being made bigger and stronger along with the physical preparation. These moments and their signifigance are not lost on our Warriors.
Ah-ooo-rah! & Aloooooha!
Mahalo to the men & women of the United States Military!
Go Warriors All!
You actually make it appear really easy along with your presentation however I find this topic to be really something which I believe I might by no means understand. It kind of feels too complex and extremely extensive for me. I am having a look ahead for your next publish, I will try to get the cling of it!
Defensive struggle, scoreless top 8th. Regulation game is 6 innings at the LL level. GO MKH!
Dang. Florida wins 1-0 on an unearned run in the 8th. Good job girls.
Awesome picks from this mornings drill. Ummm . . . Mr. Friel (2nd picture, right behind Felemalu) better wipe that smirk of his face. Those are the kinds of looks that drill sergeants love to tear into. Just kidding! Don’t tell him I said that. He’d squash me.

Tough. Seemed like the young wahine held on hard though!
Great role models for them to cite. The winningest pitcher in the program’s history and the other quite possibly the best local born softball product to have ever played at the D1 level…
Good website! I really love how it is simple on my eyes and the data are well written. I am wondering how I could be notified whenever a new post has been made. I’ve subscribed to your RSS feed which must do the trick! Have a great day!
What shibai. The AF keeps changing their philosphy. For a long time they didn’t do PT. Their physical fitness tests had to do with cardio rates and BMI. I don’t think they had formation runs or regular unit PT. Only recently have they switched back to PT tests (e.g., number of pushups, sit-ups and timed runs). If they want hardcore, they need to go to MCBH and train with the Marines like Gib and the Basketball team. Or go out to Schofield East Range like Nash and his b-ball team did…
Awesome job ST
Coach got me ready 2 jact an ole Italian. 😀
geeze…
Now now Otto.
COach Chow is cross trang da navy.
He even got ST Ann’s RK doing wake ups.
Good job. Coach.
Hi there, You have done a fantastic job. I’ll definitely digg it and for my part suggest to my friends. I’m sure they’ll be benefited from this web site.
2 episodes of “Hard Knocks” down and only fleeting glimpses of Davone. That’s a good thing, right?
My brother-in-law’s mom told me she was 9 years old and getting ready for Sunday School that morning in Wahiawa. Their family home sat right where the current Wahiawa McDonald’s is today.
The neighborhood shook as planes rumbled overhead. It didn’t seem out of the ordinary to have the Army conduct morning maneuvers. It just seemed unusually low, loud and constant that particular morning.
The neighborhood kids ventured outside to see the commotion. In the distance smoke billowed from Schofield. What first seemed to be American planes flying above quickly turned out to be Japanese. The planes flew so low the kids could see the pilots looking at them as the planes turned and made their way back to Schofield to strife the runways.
One of the neighborhood kids climbed a rooftop to waive at the planes. A Japanese pilot took notice. On his return fly by the pilot sprayed the very roof top, killing the boy, instantly.
If they go to Scholfield they are going to run until they puke.
For those who have been critical of UH’s academic standing, here’s something to ponder:
http://www.shanghairanking.com/ARWU-2012-Press-Release.html
http://www.shanghairanking.com/ARWU2012.html
According to this international ranking, which appears to be mainly based on academic awards and research productivity by alumni and faculty, UH is among the top 150 universities in the world.
A-joe I believe you. My dad told me he stood outside his home as he watched the planes flying overhead shooting their guns and his house took a few hits.
Redzone- Honestly, it’s difficult for following generations to comprehend what your parents and their generation went through back then. We can only hope to learn, understand, share, forgive and never forget.
does coach chow have “daikon legs?” i was trying to explain daikon legs to someone, and I think that is it. Is it?
Go warriors
So would have it been harder had it been with a marine DI as opposed to the ones from the air force? haaaa. Sorry, don’t mean to start any battles between the branches….
BIK 🙂
Pearl Harbor Story:
ON the Big Island, in the village of Onomea. My uncles told me about walking to church that Sunday morning and seeing a Japanese zero skirt the coastline of the Big Island’s Hilo coast. They did not know what was going on, but the plane flew low enough for they to wave at the pilots. The planes then went on to Hilo and bombed the Hilo warf.
BIK
I was reading an an article in Yahoo online about a college coach who is thinking of not punting the ball if on the 50 yard line and in. A high school coach for the past 4 years was doing that and had won a majority of his games. The thinking is why give away a down because basically on 4th and long that is what the conventional wisdom would normally do. We don’t have a punter so Coach Chow should think outside of the box when the situation comes up in the game.
According to the U.S. National Park Service, there were 43 civilian deaths in the Pearl Harbor attack. Some of the deaths were civilian-workers at Pearl Harbor.
Another account of the attack showed that many casualties were from friendly fire, a bunch attributed to anti-aircraft fire which, in the excitement, our people failed to properly fuse the shells so that if the shells reached a certain (maximum) height, the shell was to explode so that it would not fall back to the groundl
My father was at Kapiolani park with my oldest sister when she was a year old when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. He heard the bombing and went home quickly to check on my mom. It was a difficult period for the local Japanese. My father’s older brother was interned on the mainland since he was born in Japan and had immigrated years later after my grand parents had settled in Hawaii in 1899.
The Big Guy had a video camera there this morning. Waiting for da sports report….
my mother’s family lived in the maid quarters at the chris holmes’ estate which later became “queen’s surf” during the attack on the beach at waikiki. fortunately, the entire family of nine was whisked away to makiki heights at the home of the thurston family who are famous for being the one time honchos of the honolulu advertiser.
my mother and father were employed by the thurstons at the time and they took real good care of their japanese servants as they feared for retaliation by others during the bombing. my parents and their family watched from atop as the debacle escalated.
it was during this moment that my 35 year old father made up his mind to volunteer for the 442nd. it took him three attempts of much pleading to the recruiters until they finally took him in as an enlisted man. you see, he was too old by then under normal circumstances.
he served in germany and italy alongside dan inouye in ww2, he too, a purple heart, which for a machine gunner was a fortunate plight.
at washington intermediate school, we had a husband-wife school teacher tandem who told of the day when the fellow japanese kinsman attacked our state. the husband fell victim to the effects of the bombing of washington intermediate as shrapnel and blown out window pane glass nearly caused his demise.
he survived that day and had the numerous scars on his arms and face to prove it. each year he told the story to his new classes. what was once a painful story became his legacy. i’ll never forget him telling of this and showing us the scars as proof positive.
i think, in fact, i am sure that the affect of the infamous day, december 7, 1941 will wear on each warrior here on after.
i hope that the pearl harbor-hickam camp includes a tour of the uss arizona and the uss missouri. what a glorious moment that would be to visit those memorials. that would be so apropo in being paired with this camp on those hallowed grounds.
For those who do want practice reports, Twitter: dabowman3
Dont worry, no secret plays.
Simply how practice went. Who looks good. Who struggling. RBs look good though. Think ST will vouch there. O line 10x better than last year
I always wondered why grandpa (mom’s side) made it home from Pearl Harbor without being stopped. He had a permit and was on record, I suppose, and no one was going to shoot the candy man. But all 5 of his sons went on to serve in the military–only my oldest uncle was old enough to join the 442th back then.
He served with my father and invited him over for parties after the war. That’s how my father met my mom. BTW, that uncle was the father of Gaye at Club Genji.
a coupla posts from yesterday that bear worth repeating.
There you go Tsaikos. It all comes down to da Queen and her gang. no ifs anz or butts.
but on da odda hand, gotta admit the good fortunes we’ve had. Coach Chow came our way. Who was responsible for that? That was a good move.
and now i know. Go Warriors! smack da pUSC.
Eh Braddah Al…I owe you lunch, I know that I said the first home game of the season but, I’ll be flying in this Friday, and hoping we can get together for lunch at the place of your choosing, about 1 pm (?)
Evening!
ST ~ Thanks for the report & pictures from JBPHH.
Met a judge on my vacation whose father was the medical officer for the USS Tangiers on Dec. 7th. His ship was the first to fire back at the Japanese planes. They had stored their ammunition in the dining room and not below decks for an inspection. They still had to load the clips, but had the ammo handy.
My grandfather was a sheetmetal worker going to work that morning thinking that they were just blasting in the shipyard. People ran out the gates telling him to go home, they were being bombed.
Night all!

Young Tsai-ko Challenge Update
Contestant hunk #25 is worried his Bruce Lee physique is kinda distracting so has submitted a substitute photo. Only a profile view with shirt and no muscles now. Shucks, he doesn’t look much like homey now. Should be easy to guess. Take another look if not sure…
Send in your guesses. Remember you may submit revised guess until Friday midnight. (I need to know the “first-impression” guess) 🙂
#175 no skold the public skool grads. Dey wen try hard.
stevem…do you have a link to the photo stuff?
Sorry Al — only those who contributed their photos have the location.
No pixy, no peepy.
However, if you would like to contribute a photo (high school-mid 20’s), I’ll add you even though you would be easy to guess by late position #, however you could guess the others…kinda challenging but you’ve met most.
OK, offer stands for others too. It is challenging. 🙂

*********************************************************************
Mahalo Jeezy3 for your unclassified report. I appreciate your class act.
It is a great place for the team to practice, and they seem to like the atmoshpere that surrounds the field.
After practice, you should try the Familia Mexican restaurant, not far from the field. Just make a right turn as you exit the parking lot behind the bleachers. Follow the road around back where you see the planes parked. It will take you right to the little Par 3 Golf course just down that road. Adjoining the Golf Club is the restaurant.
Lost my uncle on the Ikeda side of the family from Holualoa. 442.

BHF2, It’s no wonder the moment overwhelmed Coach Chow as he reflected on the history of Pearl Harbor and the sacrifice of our men and women in his comments!

Sorry, BHF2! I dozzzzzzed off a bit….Thank you for your service! I was 12 at the time in ’68, but remember the turmoil and sadness of Nam in the newspapers and TV coverage. Those were dark days for our country. I never could understand why so many even if they did not support the war–did not support the troops. I had a hard time with that.
Guess I might as well get up as sleep eludes me!
Good morning Mo!
Had my alarm set for waking up BHF2 to the sweet sounds of Freedom…a resounding BAM-BAM-BAM! ‘Cept I nevah like scare Susan.

A lot of the things you mention happens to be astonishingly appropriate and it makes me wonder the reason why I had not viewed this in this light before. Your piece really did switch the light on for me in terms of this specific subject goes. However at this time there is actually one position I am not too comfortable with so whilst I try to reconcile by using the actual core theme of your position, let me observe just what the most of the subscribers need to say.Well done.
Great Morning All!
