I hope that all of the travel/scouting by the coaches pays off in an excellent recruiting class. They are putting the effort in and visiting the schools, a good use of the increased recruiting budget that football got when JD took over

Article discussing how Boise State’s game vs. Georgia could be a decisive factor in whether or not the MWC becomes an AQ conference. I’ll be cheering for BSU to run the table this year, as that would really improve the MWC’s BCS numbers before the BCS evaluation period ends after this season.

No pressure, Boise State, but the Mountain West’s future may hinge on beating Georgia

At least, that’s how it looks to MWC commissioner Craig Thompson, who told SEC oracle Tony Barnhart this morning on Barnhart’s radio show that a Bronco win against an SEC heavy, in its own backyard, would be “huge” for the conference’s quixotic effort to wrestle an automatic BCS bid (and the full payout that goes with it) out of the bigger leagues. The next round of planning by BCS conference commissioners will be the last time Thompson gets to list TCU’s stellar track record on the Mountain West resumé before the Horned Frogs hop to the Big East next year

It is interesting to me that more College Presidents say that Athletics has a *positive* financial impact than a negative one. All we hear about are that Athletic Departments (at least for the non-AQ schools) are losing money, but the college Presidents know what the real numbers are and they seem to paint a much better situation for athletic programs.

Only a quarter of college presidents at four-year public universities say intercollegiate athletics has a positive financial impact on their institutions, according to a new survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, in association with The Chronicle. Thirty-nine percent of presidents at four-year, private universities say it does.

By comparison, 22 percent of public-university presidents and 15 percent of private-university presidents said sports has a negative financial impact on their institutions.

Reposting Rich2176’s update from yesterday…

UH VS UNLV 2011

Ticket Status Update

Okay, so in 2007, I had no problem getting a group discount from the UNLV ticket office and was able to pick up the tickets prior to single game seats becoming available. (I.e., they had group blocks to distribute.) In 2009, no more group discount, but I flew to Vegas on June 1, the first day of single season ticket sales and got our 240 tix.

This year is starting to annoy me. A month or so ago when I called the ticket office, I was told single game tickets would go on sale the beginning of July. (A month later than in 2009 – perhaps to get as many season ticket sales as possible?) Today, I was told in the middle of July, but to call back in mid-June for a possible “pre-sale” to the Tsaikos. I’ll keep everyone posted.

It is very important that you all let SteveM your ticket intentions since I’m going to base the group size from that list. Currently, it’s around 70 or so. I’m thinking by September we will have 150-200 committed.

Tsaiko-Vegas #3 attendees, ticket requests, and activity RSVP’s are listed. All request numbers are for planning purposes only and are considered tentative until final confirmation is announced by Rich2176 and Rasu Begasu.

Note that UH-WA game plans are on the same page. Please send any plan updates or changes.

Happy Birthday Jason!

…Happy Birthday Gwyn!

Happy Bday to both Jason and Gwyn….make it special!!!

ummm…ran into people who seen Rich Miano on Maui at a Baldwin High practice. Hear the DE from Baldwin is being looked at. Word is he has an offer from Utah, and Washington looking at him.

Welcome to the two new VB recruits!

ST & Slugger,

Mahalogozaimasu. Will keep watching for more info

Good evening, everyone!

Happy birthday to Gwyn, too!

Whoo-hoo, too!!!

Kind of turtle-slow on the blog.

At least it was easy to catch up, though.

Jan philipp is a mouth full let’s call the kid JP Marks!

RIP Killebrew.

Harmon Killebrew 1936-2011. A Great Human Being.

How many of us had a Harmon Killebrew bat? It was my first one in LL. Didn’t know who he was until he competed in Home Run Derby.

I loooove Nowitzki’s hair cut! And what a great free throw shooter!

Wow, that is a skilled volleyball player. 6’7″ setter, OH, and MB. That’s some major skills. Averill just has to work on being a libero, and he would have every skill. I hope he has a wicked jump serve.

my heartfelt condolences to kameron steinhoff’s family.

he had a skateboarding accident hitting his head and passed away.

Not fair. Simply not fair.

Our deepest Aloha to the Steinhoff ‘Ohana.

Impressive MVB recruits. Wow!

2011 Rainbow Wahine Softball Camp

Session #1 (grades 9-12) June 15-17, 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m at RWSS

Session #2 (grades 9-12) June 18 PITCHING ONLY 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.

Fee for sessions.

Good chance for Steve and WSF to show his stuff. I’ll announce the hitting sessions, #7 to 10, later on since it will be held in August.

Big news regarding women’s volleyball? I hope it’s good. Is it about a new commit, a coach, or an existing player? Hmmm.

al

I believe you’re right about the mbb recruits. Hopefully, they nailed it in the classroom.

curt…although a lot can happen over the next few months. ears get yanked left and right and up and down. one or two may leave by his own accord.

you never know.

Sorry to hear about Kameron Steinhoff.

#99 Shhh! al sleeping.

Wake up al. Ur sleepin on da job.

Curt, uh, Hawaii 5-0?

Prayers for Kameron.

Curt –

5-0 ended with truly unbelievable cliffhangers for all of the show’s stars and had that irritating “To be continued…” graphic at the end of the show.

Dancing with the Stars?

I think Chelsea will win. Hines Ward will come in 2nd. And Kirstie Alley will be 3rd.

Prayers for Kameron and his ‘ohana.

Welcome to MVB recruits Jan-Philipp & Taylor!

Our prayers go out to the Steinhoff family from the Kimura ‘Ohana.

Hey Curt,

re: 108

Like my 12 year old says “It’s all messed up.”

Btw, he still watches cartoons, so I think all of the conflicts and cliffhangers kind of upset him.

Thanks LK. Your 12 year old doesn’t like conflict and cliffhangers? But that’s what marriages and sports is all about. 🙂

damenehune and steinhoffs…my apologies i was just relaying a message i got from doris.

lk…are we related?

methinks that hines will win.

Hines has an interesting history. His Korean mother and black dad moved to the states to get away from the racial bigotry in Korea.

Unfortunately, the marriage failed and his mom had to work 2-3 jobs to support her son.

After enduring taunts about his ethnicity, Hines found acceptance and adulation in sports. And the rest is history.

Being Korean, myself, I’d like to see him win. He is an excellent dancer, but Chelsea is better. I’ll be shocked if she doesn’t win.

Welcome, new VolleyBows!

Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone!

Very quiet night. This song comes to mind right now…

Memory (Barbara Streisand)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78Ruh0ewBVogq4

…LizKauai could sing this. Maybe Slugger too. 🙂

Good night everyone.

I enjoy Aretha Franklin songs!

Just dislike Idol, and similar shows of that ilk, so I do not watch them.

Shoji is recruiting earlier than ever, Tai Manu-Olevao already committed for 2012, now he has Taylor and Higgins for 2013.

Taylor is already at 6’3 and only a sophomore in HS. Her brother Josh is 6’8. Wouldn’t it be nice if she grew to 6’8 and played OH. 🙂

Good news for Rainbow baseball, attendance is up 60% from 3 years ago. Tougher competition at home and the play of guys like Kolton, Vinnie, Linsky, Garcia and McDonald really helped energize the Bows fans to come out and watch the game at Murakami Stadium.

oops Matt Sisto.

I was asking questions, not stating fact, just on what I heard. Please forgive the mix up on my part. Next time I’ll be sure to clarify that it was not a fact, concern and asking if what I had heard was true. We’re all praying for Kameron.

Great Morning All!

Much to reflect upon yesterday.

HiHo…

Gwyn’s hot!

Good morning al, Liz, Ralph…go to bed! Hey Liz…gonna get me a slingbox and send it over to my brother’s house where he has cable. Then I can tape whatever UH games I want even when I’m at the game. Shhhhh…he doesn’t know it yet but he lurks here sometimes!

Hawaii News Now reports that Kameron has died. My condolences to his family.

Sincere condolences to Kameron Steinhoff’s ‘ohana.

The biggest reason why the crowds at UH baseball are bigger is Kolten Wong. He’s a local boy, an All-America candidate, his last year before he goes to the pros. It helps to have some other local guys like Arakawa, Almadova, and Kitamura on the team. Almadova has has a much better season this year. Last year, he had a dreadful year and was shell shocked in College Ball as a freshman. As a Soph, he’s learned a lot and I suspect he will be even better next year. Kitamura can’t hit very well, but he’s very good defensively, plays third base really well. He can also play shortstop and even second base if need be. He’s a very valuable guy and can pitch in at catcher too. Arakawa as a freshman into the starting rotation is terrific. He’s been better than I thought. Having a winning team always gets the attendance up too. I haven’t agreed with Trapasso’s decisions on changing pitchers on many occasions. Losing 4 straight against Cal St.-Fullerton at home hurt, althought all 4 were close games. Not enough hitting and I thought too many strikeouts. I think the guy that is coming on strong at the ending part of the season is Collin Bennett. He’s going to be a big key for Hawaii is going to make a big showing in the WAC tournament and beyond and for next year as well when he’s a senior.

Disappointment of the year so far: Wahine Softball. One year removed from the Women’s College World Series, not even making it to a regional is very, very painful to see. The team couldn’t handle the stress of all that success and wasn’t tough enough. All those home runs last year was in part because of the bats and it seemed Wahine batters were trying to go for the fences. They were billed as the “Sistas of Swat”. They become more like “Sistas of Strikeouts.” Lose 3 games by 1-0 and 4 more by 2-1 just showed that the Wahine batters struggled most of the season. Losing Taualii, Yoshikawa, Grimes, and Puu Warren proved to be huge. Collectively, they were tough and they hit in the clutch. People can still remember and see Yoshikawa hitting a key home run in the regionals, Taualii hitting a grand slam, Puu Warren playing flawlessly in RF and hitting line drives to the right side, and Grimes a rock behind the plate and hitting in key situations. Put it all together and you’ve got a big winner. Period. This 2011 edition could handle the moment of truth. They finished at 37-18 and that’s a very good record on the surface. But they finished 4th in the WAC regular season, and went out early in the tournament. They had the bases loaded so often and many times did not deliver the key blow that would have broken the game open. A lot of time, they struck out. Considering the expectations coming back, Coolen and the Gang whiffed and we are thinking about what it could have been. It’s the old story where some people make it happen, some people wonder what happend, and some people just say what happened!!!! The Wahine were in the latter category. The sad thing is that I love the Wahine team and I feel bad about how they lost.

Al,

125-aren’t we both Tsai-kos? 🙂
