Warriors are 29th; Bess gets paid

First, Baby!

Great win Warriors!

Run the WAC!!

second?

It’s 2 pm my time–I am in Germany and nothing to do but scour the internet. TV is useless because most are in German and MTV is the only one in English I can find. CNN is not part of the package, I guess.

Did I mention it is freaking cold here and to top that off, I forgot to bring my jacket so I had to walk a couple of miles with my longsleeve shirt trying to find a vendor that sells clothes AND to put on icing to the cake, most Germans don’t work on Sunday. I did find one at the main train station. Lucky me.

Adrenalin, ST. Hard to sleep after a lights out performance like that by OUR team. HAWAII’S TEAM. WARRIOR fan for LIFE!!

The special team should practice special teams coverage for one whole day. They played good last week but needs to be consistent. Do we need another special teams coach?

Top Twenty!!!!

Warriors should be in the Top Twenty, also, the way they are playing. Great Win!!!!

Good luck to her. Hope it’s a more stable job, but who knows now a days

Also funny that our defense looked way tougher in stopping the run, man on man, than Arkansas did against Auburn. I don’t care if anyone says they are SEC and we are the WAC. Arkansas was all over the field, making whiffs at Auburn players.

Also weird that they scored over 100 total points, while these high powered, high scoring offenses put up less than 50 on the board.

ST–

I do wish her the best and I know based on her demeanor, she doesn’t know how to lose. I mean that in a good way.

Ok, here’s my gripe while watching the game last night. Why can’t the fans wear one color to the game when UH is asking for a black out or white out or green out. The closest we ever came to that was when Colt was still here. Does this mean, Hawaii fans don’t have green, white, and black UH shirts in their closet. This is one way to support the university which brings up another gripe of mine. I don’t understand why the money that rainbowtique makes doesn’t directly go to lower campus. ok, that’s my gripe for the day

This was one of our lowest total vote gains this week. We need to turn it up and get the vote out!

Something’s wrong. It doesn’t make any sense. How can there be a 4 to 1 advantage in turnovers and the game still be so close. Hmmmmmm. I wonder why that is???

I’m very pleased with the way things turned out…a big win.

Neveda did a good job containing in confining Moniz from breaking for long runs, but hey!!, so did our defense in containing Kaepernick most of the nite. I guess Mr. Moniz came out on top as he found his recievers at the right time(s), and ran/escaped…to make crucial plays when they counted. Kudo’s to the recievers for getting into position quickly for receptions, and the o-line for prevailing over NV’s defense.

UH defense…..WOW!!, thanks for an awesome display of team work…that was the other half of the pleasure I had viewing you guys hard at work.

That rb, Vai Taua is one tough human being….too bad he wasn’t playing for UH. He sorta reminded me of another UH rb who refused to go down on initial contact; a human bowling ball as they say. I could not believe Taua’s toughness as he kept coming back into the game limping badly and leaving for the sidelines after running/catching the fb.

Good morning Tsaikos! Up early…beautiful morning here in West TX. That was the play of the game, without a doubt. Beating Moch when it looked like he had Moniz dead to rights was amazing. This team is fun to watch.

Oregon State lost last night to Washington and should drop out of the rankings. If Virginia Tech doesn’t sneak back into the polls then you’re going to hear “None of Boise State’s wins are against teams that are currently ranked,” or some version of that statement. As much as I hate Boise, I hate the BCS promoters even more.

Looks like Minnesota finally bit the bullet and fired their head football coach:

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news;_ylt=AktXqVDySk85kmk.IRaPdTEcvrYF?slug=txminnesotabrewsterfir

Michigan Warrior and BleedGreen808 …

I think before we give the SPECIAL TEAMS COACH a raise, he needs to teach our Warriors how to recover an on side kick or talk to Dick Tomey who commented on it last night for those of us watching from Vegas.

It almost cost us the game.

interesting to note is that you had a lot of upsets in the top 25 yesterday. 1, 5, 10, 12, 19, 22, 23, and 24 went down. Who knows how close Warriors will sneak in there. I know that probably isn’t in the priority but a top 25 or near it finish will go a long way for next year’s team too.

MW…I stand corrected…glad to see we are on the same page.

Weird that several other teams from BCS conferences are putting up some serious passing stats, and yet we hear nothing of “system” talk by the east coast, midwest, and southern experts!

Well we didn’t have a winner this week, maybe this week?

#31, ST,

Yeah, not enough time to Shoplift.

There’s a pretty good special teams coach up in Seattle. He may be interested in coaching at Hawaii.

If UC-Fresno State and Reno will surely leave to the MWC, and not reconsider staying in the WAC, then I will be cheering for everyone else (they play against in the WAC) to upset them even more! Both teams need to go over there as losers! And… aren’t Kaepernick, Taua, and Moch seniors?

I agree that Rolo and Aranda could be targeted by big budget schools soon and UH should sign them to multi-year contracts. Both of their contracts run out after this season. Some schools around the country have already set the precedent by signing coordinators to multi-year contracts when they want to keep them.

MW . . .

I think all three are seniors. It might get real ugly next year for them. Oh well. Too bad. So sad.

wafan… lol!!! That’s what I’m talking about!

Funny that our Special Teams coach came from THAT Reno team!

Michigan Warrior,

Ault fired that coach…and special teams almost gave the game to Nevada. If special teams hadn’t given short fields to Nevada twice, UH’s D probably would have shut down Nevada from scoring even more and the game wouldn’t have been close.

“Special” doesn’t mean handicapped – but the ST play was abysmal! Adding to Garret’s list of #650 (last blog) – missed FG in 1Q. Those could have been important points in the end.

On the plus side – Dunnachie and Enos did well with their punts/kick-offs, and the punt-coverage was solid (except for the interference call).

One thing that really pissed me off is hearing Kaepernick say, “There was nothing Hawaii did tonight to stop us”.

Dude, you and Taua did not gain a hundred yards rushing like you usually do. Our defense swarmed and caused you problems, or you wouldn’t have had all those turnovers. I hope you guys go on a nice, long losing streak!!!

Brew? Is that really you?

Geez!!! Welcome home!

The D was outstanding! 🙂 Tackling greatly improved. You have to appreciate the swarm to the ball! Good job.

Torres is a Terror!

Bryant Moniz should be the WAC Offense Player of the week having a 3 TD and no turnover.

Moore BSU playing lowly SJS 2TD

Kaepernick had 2TD and 3 turnover (1 Major one in the End Zone that was Sweet!) plus last turnover to End the Game.

Colburn Fresno State only had 1 TD. renegade

By far and away Bryant is not only WAC Conference but as the ‘National Leaders in Yardage and Touchdown’ should be our Conference Marquee QB right now.

Not those renegade team QB. Are you listening Karl Benson and how about doing your job and get Hawaii @ Boise State on National Network Coverage you still got 3 weeks to do it!

But I dough very much he won’t be able to do it. He hasn’t done any lately for WAC.

Every Warrior Fans right now should be voting Moniz as Top QB for the O’Brien Quaterback Award. Send to all your friends and contact to vote on this Link today:

http://www.voteobrien.org/round1.asp

Today is Sunday so there is no excuse but only to go to Church and vote this link like hell!

Only 1000 vote from Hawaii? We do have more Warrior fans than that don’t we?

Plus Bryant already has half the Award Name in the bag – “Bryant for O’Brien Award”.

Send that as your Subject title to everyone you know and something good will happen to you very Soon.

Kaepernick is just pissed that he has never won in Hawaii in 3 tries. Give the Warrior defense credit. They played their best game in the Coach Mack era last night. The offense was a little off, but did enough to get the win. That play by Moniz where he got away from pressure and threw the long pass to Salas and the never give up effort by Paredes to cause the fumble by Kaepernick into the end zone, were the two biggest plays of the game.

Kay, voted for Mo. He’s at 1044 now!

By the Way…

…….OOOO……….

Sagarin came out with his rankings. For anyone that might be interested.

Hmm, Hawaii might be 12 point favorites going into Aggie territory.

Gee, forgot to include the most important part. THE LINK!

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/fbt10.htm?loc=interstitialskip

Remember that LaTech QB, Jenkins? The guy came in near the end of the 2nd quarter against us, and drove them for a score. He then led them to two more scores against us in the 2nd half.

Anyways, he passed for 422 yards yesterday in LaTech’s win over Idaho. Looks like LaTech may be getting their game together, with Boise State coming up next.

In the mean time, Idaho threw for 500+ yards (between 2 QB’s).

Hey brew! Nice to see you back.

The onside kick was just a great job by their kicker more than any kind of a special teams ‘lapse.’ That thing went WAY up there like a jump ball with serious hang time. Tomey called it right on ESPN3.

Brew808 is back!!!!

Gee, I do believe we’ll be ranked going into Boise if we take care of business against the Aggies and Vandals.

Is Colt Brennan having any public appearances while he is in Hawaii??

Speaking of “crap” – what gives with the UH marketing dept. Is there even one? Sheeesssshhh! 🙄

So, bottom line (my 22 cents) –

W I N !!! 😐

off the mana silva interception did you guys see kaepernick slam his helmet on the feild and hawaii get called for the excessive celebration penalty

GGGGGOOOOO WWWAAARRRRRRRIIIOORRRSSSS!!!!!

Sagarin has Nevada way above UH…but UH will climb in the rankings with each win.

7. BSU

23. Nevada

38. Hawaii

61. Fresno State

84. La Tech

86. Utah State

93. Idaho

121. SJSU

153. NMSU

136. UNLV

Thanks Warriors you made my day!!! Keep playing like your souls were on fire… study film on Boise… if we win them at their house… that would make my day for the rest of the year.

Aloha Warriors!

im wearin my Mana Silva supaman Tshirts fo da paddle outsidde Keehi lagoon this morning wit cuz. MP wen change his name last nite

Kaka li’i li’i 😆

Aloha- what a great morning it is!

WarriorMojo’s #40 is the funniest post i’ve read in a long time. “Mutant stork”- love it! Bwahahahahaha!

GO WARRIORS!!!

Pomai, Mahalo last nite for the jersey. Guess you didn’t catch my guesstimate last nite>

WARRIORS 48 USU FARMERS 24

#114 BHF2, Eh, how about Mana? Right place, right time. We’re proud of him and I’m sure the Big Island going nuts. It wasn’t just Mana though. The whole defense and TEAM played well. Reminds me of the days when UH’s defense was so good, I kind of wanted the other team to have the ball so we could score.Bwwaahahahaha.

The big Boise vs. Nevada showdown later this season will be for #2 in the WAC- auryte!

GO WARRIORS!!!

#124 BHF2, I know one alligator in the swamp going sue the Florida team for using his name. But he going need some attorney aid. That’s why get Gatorade.

Ok, that joke was lame, but I feeling good after last night.

Did my part, just voted for Moniz # 1063

Papajoe2. Yeah getting carried away. But, have a feeling we gonna play the Broncos for the WAC championship. We’re getting better every game. Plus USU lost to Fresno and LaTech. LaTech smacked Idaho Vandals. The only way we going lose to them is if we beat ourselves. IMUA

UH 43-Them 21

great game keep the show going on the road…

I have to say that the onside kick by the Nevada kicker was one of the best that I have ever seen. I wonder how much Aloha Stadium’s “hard” turf had to do with that huge bounce.

Did that onside kick actually bounce once, or did it go straight up into the air?

uh 38

utah st 17

#141- i was thinking the same thing

Seeking perfection…… What to work on. Definitely, the “O” and “D” of special teams. Cutting down on penalties!! One “D” lineman almost cost us big time. Yeah, wasn’t his fault, but still gotta keep a cool head and think if you helping the team or making it worster(public school ting). Dropped passes. Cannot stop practicing catching and securing the ball. I did notice the d linemen penetrating the backfield more in the last 2 games than previously. I still would like the d linemen to get their hands up as the QB making a throw to either block the pass or alter the throwing motion of the qb, or lanes for the qb. For the most part, the tackling improved since game 1, but cannot stop wrapping the ball carrier. Noticed also that the D linemen are not “dancing” as much with the other teams o line, but staying low and shaking off the block quicker. This is a good thing. There was 1 play that the camera had a perfect view of Kappie scrambling, and the defensive player, with a shot at making the tackle, looking at his eyes or face and getting faked out. Good thing the pursuit of the other players got the qb before a huge gain or td. Playing against “fancy” runners the “D” must focus on the hips, not the eyes or face while trying to make a tackle.Because of travel for this weeks game, the Warriors will have a “short” week of practice, yet, in their quest for perfection, they must fit in all this things. I know the coaches can see more than we can, like busted routes and all kinds of missed assignments, but if “Joe fan” can see the obvious, then it definitely needs to be worked on.

Need to get family and friends to vote for Moniz! Cutoff is noon Central Time, 24Oct2010. That’s just under a week to go!!! Get out the votes!!!

just casted my two votes for Mo. He now has 1068 votes and is inching closer to #20, who has 1,419 votes. C’mon Warrior Nation lets surpass the #19 crybaby qb (aka Crappernack). heheh

Welcome back Brew808!!…good to see you again. We missed you!

Longest run by Taua…..9 yards.

Longest run by Kapernick….11 yards

Longest pass play by Kap….15 yards (I think)

Defense did not allow an offensive play of more than 20 yards all night.

MWC getting desperate. That’s why Nevada defected to them.

Your right, they don’t draw a good fan travel base.

Reno’ites stay in Reno and call 911 all day

Watched the replay this am on the ESPN3.com site.

I like listening to Coach Tomey, though the camera guys gave me motion sickness.

I’m sure Tomey whispered in his partners ear about correcting the opening statement that is Colt Brennan, not Colt “McCoy” on the sidelines.

I just watched the replay of the onside kick. I can’t tell for sure, but it looks like he kicked it into the ground. The direction that the ball is rotating would indicate that it hit the ground. If he kicked the bottom of the ball straight up, it would have been rotating clockwise (if watching it from the bottom of the midfield “H” logo). Instead, the ball appeared to be rotating counterclockwise. Both of the WAC Sports Network announcers also stated that he did kick it into the ground and they had access to the slow motion replays. Dick Tomey even made a point of saying that we couldn’t fair catch the ball because of it. I don’t have a HD copy of the game, but that’s the way that it looked to me.

Good morning, gangeez!!!

My friends from AZ say, “Thank you for a great time. Such nice people!” Good to have my ‘ohana meet each other. Extends the world…

Wonderful win last night. That’s the kind of play we want to see (except for the penalties…) I feel like such an Aunty to the kids and am so proud of them.

Off to the aero puerto… ESME & out for a little while…

Ah, okay. Thanks, Matt. It just happened so fast.

Wondering how those possible Bball recruits liked the festivities of the past couple of days?

And, with the momentum we’ve got, I hope we’re in talks with possible Fball recruits too. We have a hugely talented Senior class departing this year. We need to be able to use several of our remaining games to get others on the team more experience too.

As long as we keep this train rolling!

UH 41 – USU 3

Dan-O,

Kaepernick completed a 30 yard pass (according to the statistics on the UH athletics site)

http://hawaiiathletics.com/custompages/Stats/Fball/10162010.htm

The ESPN recap was so typical. It was all about Boise and how the Nevada loss would affect their SOS. No props to the Warriors really. I am looking forward to the foise in Boise.

Matt… that Wimberly kid was clutch for Reno. I think he was the one with that catch.

It was a poor job by the special teams on the onside kick considering that they took a timeout to prepare for it and all the players did was stand there to get overrun by the oncoming Nevada players.

PJ2,

Yep, Boise beat the Ducks last year and they year before that. Beat TCU last year in the Fiesta with one of their trick plays (fake punt) and lost to TCU in the Poinsettia Bowl the year before. Boise State’s chances of a NC title will be dependent on the other remaining undefeated teams. The Broncos are at the mercy of their weak conference schedule, espcially since Hawaii beat Nevada and have now dropped off the top 25 in both polls.

Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂

Great fun reading the posts today!

Great win for the Warriors, Coach Mack and the program!

Moniz’s sramble play was college football at its best! The scramble, the continued blocking, and finally the catch! EPIC!!!

I voted for Moniz again today. Have you?!

My guess? We’ll be on fire…

UH 63 – 17 Utah State

MW #171,

You must be talking about the La Tech-Idaho game, which was an exciting game. The Aggies has a bye this past weekend.

Ipu Man, I kind of like Dick Tomey if his only job is special teams and gives advice only when asked.

PJ2,

You must be talking about the recent book called, “Death to the BCS” that came out. Haven’t read it, but it does sound interesting.

Shoko,

That book is on my shopping list! 😎

#184… Shoko… Thanks! Can I claim sleep deprivation? Hahaha! I still think most don’t look at us as a consistent road team yet.

POMAI, Cold, travel, altitude.

ATTITUDE WINS!!!!

Warriors 24, Abbies er……..Addies er……..them 17.

ST on#33,

Though it was a fan-friendly night, what I miss about the “old” Midnight-Ohana fests was that there were some very competitive intra-squad (Green/White team) scrimmages that let me get a real feel for the players in actual competition. There also used to be dunking contests and 3-point shooting contests too. I guess the idea was for everybody to have fun, but the celebrity games were just a joke with more of a Globetrotters feel to it.

ST, did Reno really line up two kickers on opposite sides of the ball? I thought that’s what I saw when it happened. Really quite deceptive.

I thought I saw two kickers facing the ball. One faked moving towards the ball to get our team moving in that direction, then the other one approached and kicked it away, and they recovered it.

#196 protector, Did the Dog dunk the ball? I heard he is only 5’7-9″ or around there.

Yup, Curveball… and where’s the word on Oklahoma State, or NC State, or other BCS teams, using a gimmick offense to get their yardage? Plus, those QB’s have lousy QB ratings too!

The ESPN commentators that do the Thurs & Friday night games keep on picking and hyping Salas and Pilares for their Fantasy leaque picks. They shuffle around and had both receivers again this week.

There scoring as much as Hawaii with their picks.

How would Nevada go about “firing” their head coach when their head coach is also the Athletic Director?

I was staring at what looked like pyro “pipes” at midfield.

Then Moniz placed the Hawaiian Flag in them and I realized they were just flag stands.

Damn… wished the Warriors had some pyro while running out!

Kaepernick is gonna start oiling up his baseball glove after this season.

Better direction anyways for longevity and $$.

Gotta wonder how he would do under a stronger program and head coach. A coach that can keep his wits about himself.

Pomai

35-17 LizKauai

Chris Ault likes some ketchup on the side while he eats babies.

Time to watch the replay – BBL

😉

Hey Brew! 😉 back at ya!

Mana Silva…

“I saw (associate head) coach (Rich) Miano tell me to go down,” Silva said. “I didn’t want to lose the ball. It was no time to be a hero. I decided to go down for the team.”

Amazing how a guy can focus on the ball.. watch it get tipped… catch it.. start running and still read what the coaches are signalling….

#220… Kazz… I was stationed with a couple of guys at Fort Ord, California, back in 82-83 who just loved listening to Frank Zappa. I could’ve sworn that was one of the songs on an album they listened to. It sure sounded like it down the hallway, as I polished my boots! All I could think of was, “oh gross! What are they listening to?” I eventually found out.

By the way, the only guys in the Army I ever met from Minnesota, ALL listened to Frank Zappa. Don’t know why.

Cruising the other WAC forums this morning was entertaining.

Papajoe, both coach Tomey and Hill probably would

and could get head college coaching jobs somewhere,

and position coach jobs in the NFL.

So we both are probably just dreaming.

Hope you can comment some more on that book

about BCS bull $crap…

It was written in the stars that UH would beat Fresno St. and Nevada this year. Why? With all that has happened in the WAC and the 2 renegade teams bolting to the MWC, it was BACHI time for those 2 teams who think they are so much better than us. Well, let me tell you that UH is way better than them. Last year was an abberation because we had only 2 returning starters on defense and we had a lot of injuries to boot. I just real stoked today and hope that the team can continue to play well and improve each week. Stay humble! Do you believe in karma? I do.

Warriors have three chances of becoming this year’s WAC champion…

They can win all the remaining conference games including Boise

They can win all the remaining conference games NOT including Boise provided

Boise loses to Nevada.. OR Boise loses to Fresno…

Derek… with the way the BCS determines Automatic Qualification status, we can’t let ourselves drop off so badly even in rebuilding years. We lots our offense after ’07. While rebuilding them, we lost our defense after the ’08 season. That led us to the two lousy years in ’08 and ’09. On top of that, we went through probably the most injuries I can remember last year. And yet, we still almost pulled it off.

That’s why, with the huge number of big names graduating this year, we need to get younger players that all important game experience, whenever we can. I hope we are looking more and more attractive to potential recruits, as this season goes on.

We lots = We lost our offense…

Thinking back to the Spring and Summer this year. So much was being said about our defense being our strength. Now that we’re halfway through, and looking back… I’m loving how our defense is playing now. I hope we’ll be able to come out with fire and discipline, and make tackles from game one in the future, and not have to wait until we’re four or five games into the season.

😈 Dat be da ten.

Hi, Brew808! LTNS…

Back to the replay…

Kazz (click to support a 2011 WAC Championship):

October 17th, 2010 at 9:45 am

Very disappointed in the lack of a stadium-wide “OVER-RATED” chant.

I’d rather think that Reno is a very good team, and UH is better. 🙂

If you really want to irritate them, chant RE-NO! Still have basketball, baseball, and softball season to do that.

Shiloh Keo is no joke.

Pretty cool that Colt announced the arrival of the Warriors. Same down to earth guy willing to do what is necessary.

Once a Warrior . . . always a Warrior.

Whoo-hoo, Colt!

I was supposed to go to the volleyball game and basketball celebration but my tickets never showed up. So after the 2nd game in vb, I headed out but realized I needed gas. While filling gas I noticed I was short on cash so I drove to a McDonalds for a bank machine which was out of order. Decided it just wasn’t meant to be so I headed home. I was very interested in seeing both the mens and womens basketball teams and hooking up with some Tsaikos. I’ve since heard that it was more of a celebration than a scrimmage. I read Jeff Portnoy’s column/blog, but he doesn’t sound as excited about this team as we are. The men’s bb team was rated as the 7th best recruiting class in the nation. This includes Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, UCLA, Syracuse, North Carolina, etc.. #7 in the nation? I hope coach Gib can coach. I know it will take time but at least we should have the talent. Also noted on JP’s column/blog, that one of the players may be a problem on and off the court. He probably knows a lot more then he is telling. I hope everything works out for that person. A 6’8” guard? I don’t think we every had that before.

Anyway, what would really finish this past weekends college game would be for the Niners to beat the Oakland Raiders. I don’t think thats too much to ask for in Candlestick Park. Or is it.

Go Niners!

kazz, i share your feelings about an “OVERRATED” chant. We should have done it. Would have been nice to kick a wolf when their down, let them hear it and drive their head into the fast turf.

When Georgia did it to us at the sugar bowl i felt so depressed and sad. Would have loved to make Nevada feel the same.

Fresno State and Nevada can go suck in the Mountain West. To any Bulldog or Wolfpack fan…karma is a MF Bitch.

repost:

Whoohoo to the WIN!

The Defense was swarming like a nest full of pissed off hornets and in the 1st half they looked like something out of the Big 10 when stopping the run. Seriously, BEST defensive showing I have seen in the past several years. Just AWESOME!

Of course me being the cautious optimist I must say that our SPECIAL TEAMS were indeed a bit “Special” *cough, cough* tonight. For the most part this season our special teams have been pretty decent, maybe its just an anomaly that we may have underperformed at times tonight.

I was disappointed with the onside kick and how we handled that. Our hands unit looked lost when the ball passed the 10 yard buffer…They didn’t seem to know what, where, who should catch the ball.

Also after the TD in the 4th Q when we went up 27-14…Can anyone explain why we didn’t go for the 2 pt conversion to get us to 28?…I mean the 1 point does what exactly…26 if we didn’t convert for 2 is just the same as 27 right?…It turns it into a 2 possession game for Nevada to win, while a 2pt conversion would have meant a 2 possession game to tie. It’s these “tiny” things that will come back to bite us in the butt, but shouldn’t be an issue because its just a common sense thing to me at least. Then again I don’t get paid the big bucks so who am I to say right? haha.

Overall I loved the win and glad we sent the Pack, packin. And Coach Mack is hilarious…”They want to leave us, so they are the enemy…” Luv ya Coach Mack! =)

Hi brew! Long time no see! Where you been? Or is that classified? 🙄

Forgot to mention this earlier –

I don’t know if the UNR secondary is that bad, but their tackling was sure suspect. You have to be impressed with the down-field blocking by the Warrior receiver corp. Terrific! 😀 Kudos to Coach Mouse, but more so to the players themselves. That is really unselfish TEAM play that goes unnoticed and is not appreciated by many. 🙂

Who dat “brew” person you guys referring to? 😐 Punk – I think! 🙄

UH played it safe with 5 1/2 minutes left to play. They took the almost automatic point rather than gamble for the two. There were too many possibilities that could play out that they didn’t want to leave even a single point off the board.

My thinking was even if NV scored a UH FG would make it a two possession game again.

Mack probably looked at his “when to go for two chart” he has for those situations.

Re chanting- there was a new group of younger fans with us in Poipu last night and we were tearing it up on the D-Fence and other chants. We started rolling when they started up the BCS! bCS!

updated my UH schedule of opponent’s schedules:

so you can see how our opponents are doing throughout the year.

Hi Brew808, nice to see you posting again. Missed your imaginative and artistic compositions! The Warriors played a terrific game, all in all.

Next! Go Warriors!

cocobean,

i gotta disagree with you. i think nevada would be aggressive (as proven with their onside kick)…so you cant assume that we will get the ball back and drive down for 3pts…

If you make it a 2TD lead, then it forces Nevada to do the onside PLUS the additional touchdown to just Tie not win the game….Even if we went for the 2 and didn’t convert we would be in the same position as making the additional 1 pt…because all Nevada would need is a TD and point after to win.

To me its pretty straightforward.

Before this season started, I was resolved to be happy if our Warriors finished the regular season with an 8-5 record… But after the USC game, I started thinking 9-4… then after Army, 10-3… but following Colorado… 9-4… and here we are .. after Nevada.. I’m thinking no less than 10-3 again …. possible 11 – 2, if they can shore up the punt and kick off, kicking team’s tackling.

Warrior football! Awesome stuff!

As I mentioned before (IMHO), Nevada #10 is a tremendous athlete – but marginal QB skills. The way to defend him has always been to stop the run game, contain his bootlegs, and force him to pass. Of course, the NFL might have a different opinion…. 🙄

I don’t think that 2008 was all that bad of a season. There were two games that should have been won but weren’t — San Jose State and Utah State. They still went to a bowl game. They almost held on to beat Cincinnati which won its BCS conference. Losing to Florida and Oregon State away is no shame — ditto with Boise State. I wish they would have beaten Notre Dame, but just did not happen.

They tied for 2nd in the WAC I believe as well. Considering how many players were lost, including Graunke, it really was not that bad.

Oh duh…. now I realize #273 was a rhetorical question/statement since Ronnie knows everything! 😀

That Utah State game in 2008 is what the Warriors should think a lot about this week because that left a very bitter taste. I think that was the last time a UH returner *almost* returned a kick — Malcolm Lane fumbling on the 5 after a nice return.

Borel is a threat and the Warriors should go in thinking that they have something to prove after what happened two years ago.

USU #12 is a better passer than Nevada #10. Did the D have any sacks last night?

Nevada is a good team. Hawaii D just played lights out. If it wasn’t for the short fields that Nevada got I think they would have had a much harder time. Nevada had no problem really moving the ball when they were forced to pass late in the game. Odd that they couldn’t really run but were able to get the passing game going.

Their D did a great job stopping the Warrior offense most of the time. For as many turnovers as the Hawaii D forced it is impressive that Nevada only gave up 27 pts. Our offense is going to have to do a better job converting turnovers into points going forward.

Special teams is still agonizing at times. But, nothing blocked, some good returns, and nothing actually run back for a score. In the end Nevada at least had to work for their points. I think Mack is right in not bailing just yet on Tormey.

Sadly, other than UH, the raisins are the only WAC team with an OC game left (vs. Illinois). Everyone else only has WAC opponents remaining. So, if the good guys keep racking up W‘s, we no care if the other guys pound on each other! 😈

expat..

I’m glad all three are behind us! Nevada, Fresno, and La Tech… phew…

The rest are much more doable while hopefully giving a little more time for the reserve players to some playing time under the lights until we face off with Boise. I’m hoping our slightly injured starters might get a little ‘healing’ time over the next two weeks before squaring off with the last deserter.

This is more and more like the kind of Defense I expected out of Mack.

whitey…

I hope they have been updating their training guides for every position on the team. Including off season practice and what kinds of equipment to use.

first 3 games this year, da warriors d was playing the waiting game and it really killed them in the 2nd half of the first 3 games. i believe that coach mc had a direct hand in changing the d to the attacking one he had at miami and other schools, then made sure coach aranda understood how to make it go. listening to aranda’s comments about not making adjustments tells me that he has not truly grasped the full concept of the d, but is making progress with coach mc as his tutor.

one who deserves a standing ovation is coach tommy h. my hats off to you, you have done a super job with the team and i can see a very bright future for uh with you there. thank you coach tommy.

and lastly to coach cal. watching your lb crew improve and grow is a credit to you. this crew has a chance to be one of the best.

Howzt Brew!…haha. I knew that statement would ilicit a response from a 49er fan. Nah, i know my team sucks…they already won their one game quota for the entre season. heheh

My son is doing great. Started high school last month and returning to be a ‘normal’ teenager. Thanks for askng!

whitey,

Cal Lee coaches the Defensive Ends now. Coach Aranda coaches the linebackers. UH needs to update the coaches bios on their websites. They haven’t included any of the changes from last offseason.

Singing up Rolo and Aranda is a no-brainer. And since Jimmy D is a sharp guy, I think this gets done.

We were 50% on sudden change football last night. Would like to see us get that up to above 75%.

Also need to improve on thge 30% third down conversion rate.

Defense doing great against the run. I like to see the defense hold teams to 140 yards rushing or less.

Guud morning Tsaikos!….

SWEET!….no mo voice today….used it up last night…

Observations..

1. “There was nothing Hawaii did tonight to stop us,” said Kaepernick, the school’s all-time leader in total offense. “Just lack of execution (on our part), we didn’t play like ourselves tonight.”

Yes.. mr qb…you was on the line of scrimmage all by yourself. Neva get 12 odda guys across from you. (12 guys…tonight the 12th guy showed up)

So go donkey kick yourself in the arse and keep thinking the odda guys had nothing to do wih your ineptness last night.

2. O and the Dline did a great job. Still need to get d-backfield up to snuff…work in progress but improvements each week. By bsu, we be ready to rumble and shake the house up.

3. Da seven guys in da box did a fantastic job. Got lots of replacements and neva miss da beat. Some good for next year.

4. Moch is a great player. Had my doubts and now appreciated that I got to see him play.

5. Beer needs to be removed from the stadium. Most fans were very respectful but had on donkey shouting expletives and gestures to someone for a period of time. Kids around us were in “awe”.

Towards the end of the game i the blue section, southside..men in blue had to go calm a situation..suspecting too much beer..no can handle.

6. T-gate was some goooood. Had my share of b-pudding with sauce, some tasty hekka, assorted grilled animals and da saimin wen hit da spot afta da game.

7. Afta awaking to a super fantastic day today…noticed…no mo da cooler I wen take to da T-gate. (blue/white..name “Sheila” on top da front door)

If anyone wen pick up…me and my patnah will be at the WSS this Tuesday for the Na Wahine softball double header. Would appreciate safe return…(it doubles as my patnah’s fishing cooler)

Anyhooo….WARRIORS!…Time to focus on next week…GO WARRIORS!!!!

ps…uhfan808…mahalos fo da vid of the Warriors doing the pregame Haka…study da moves and at da next T-gate, you can teach errybody da moves!… including da fans/t-gaters from down under! would be a really great thing for them to take home yeah???)

errybody have one good one today….somehow cannot get dis stupid smile off my face!!!!

lattas…

maybe not to important, but nevada had a flight to catch, but don’t know what time. players need to change, equipment needs to be packed, then everything transported to the airport, so they may have been on a time schedule. same for da warriors when on the mainland.

WOO HOO da Cowgirls loss!!! sorry Rob25….i guess they won’t be playin in the Super Bowl, which wll be played in their own stadium. heheh.

As far as giving anyone a LONG TERM contract. FORGET IT!

We should be making these Coordinators prove their worth.

I promise no schools are banging down our doors, for our Coaches.

So they beat Fresno and Nevada. Well we could have beaten USC

if we could score from the RED ZONE! But we did not. And the loss

at Colorado, well shows you…we need more team support with money

so kids are not on the road for 13 days. School work, they are students first then

athletes. Folks try showing up to the games! And support your team. It makes Hawaii

look bad on the mainland when there are lots of empty seats. And can we not go to the

HAWAII BOWL! How about winning and getting to the HOLIDAY BOWL so Hawaii can have more

NATIONAL EXPOSURE! Sheesh…..

Kazz….das enough Skittles for the day….OHMMMMM….OHMMMMM….OHMMMMM…

Warriors 49- USU 10

whitey #330:

Nevada had a charter plane at the airport waiting for them, so they theoretically had all the time in world to pack up their stuff post-game.

Looks like they left a little after 11pm on a non-stop charter flight straight back to Reno, per this flight track:

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/SCX8732/history/20101017/0830Z/PHNL/KRNO

Coach Ault could have just gone up, said, “Excuse me Coach, but we’ve got a plane to catch. Great game,” and shook his hand in front of the media. Would have been great PR for himself. Even Colt’s dad interrupted Colt in an on camera interview once… and reminded him of an interception after a win. So we know, it’s not impossible or uncommon.

PolyMom,

The Holiday Bowl pits a team from the Pac-10 against a team from the Big 12. The WAC bowl games are the Humanitarian Bowl, Hawaii Bowl, Poinsettia Bowl, and New Mexico Bowl. Back in 1992 when we played in the Holiday Bowl, the WAC used to have a tie-in with them. That isn’t the case anymore. Unless we are in a BCS game, Hawaii is obligated to play in the Hawaii Bowl if we are bowl eligible. No way we make it into a BCS bowl this year, even if we win the rest of our games.

the only holiday bowl UH will ever participant in is the Hawaii Bowl (if not selected for a BCS bowl). The Hawaii Bowl was created for UH. Without it, no other bowl would invite UH, well, except for the Leeward Bowl. heheh

Wahine Softball game is a Doubleheader this Tuesday, 10/19, @ 6:00 PM against Christian Brothers.

Thanks Steve for the info on the softball. I knew it was coming up soon. Not much other publicity on it though.

wiseguy,

Don’t know why. It seems to work for me when I click on the link. Yours works as well. They both say exactly the same thing.

@MATT, thanks for the info. I just want to the boys to get a game on the mainland!

It is great for exposure. We told our ESPN folks to tune in…or DVR especially on the east

coast as Hawaii games starts at 11:30PM and so hard to stay up until 2AM. But why we keep

playing the Hawaii Bowl???? Also it is good for the state and the fans!! Folks never show up anyway at

the Hawaii Bowl. If I am not mistaken I understand we can go to the Emerald Bowl if no PAC 10 team

qualifies???? Is that right? All I know, is making decisions where kids should play ball is very hard.

And we are in the thick of it right now!

PolyMom…

If Hawaii goes independent, it will need the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl for recruiting purposes and marketing purposes. So, keeping it viable is very, very important. The Hawaii Bowl isn’t very popular when Hawaii isn’t in it because Hawaii has very little passion for the other teams that might come to play in it. It’s pretty sad, but that’s just the way Hawaii fans are. Money is tight. There is only so much entertainment kala… When Hawaii isn’t in the bowl .. many probably think it’s a good time to spend the money elsewhere or save it for the next year. In any other bowl besides a BCS bowl, Hawaii would probably lose money.

I believe the WAC will lose the Humanitarian bowl after this season because it goes with Boise.

MW – UH has an agreement w/the WAC that if they are bowl eligible and not invited to a BCS bowl, that they would play in the Hawaii Bowl.

AD – thnx for the info on Coach (F)ault. I was relying on comments made earler…t.sigh

@Michigan Warrior I agree about the kids being on the road. But to miss school…and lets face it, our kids are STUDENT ATHLETES! It is very important when I heard the football team had only one tutor for all of the boys on road games…they need more funding. And when I read somewhere that Moniz cousins were driving from CALI to deliver a computer to VEGAS…are you kidding me???? Yes I have to say that the Wahine Softball team when they get to play off games yes long time away from school. But to be really honest Michigan Warrior, it is not like my kid…is a rocket scientist, LOL! Sorry HON. But the GPR does look good. But they have not showed the numbers on how many of the kids have learning disabilities? NCAA stats on kids who play D1 Football have high rates of kids with learning disabilities. Very few kids make the pros. So I am more interested in education for all of them to graduate and be productive citizens in their communities. Just an opinion of a Poly Mom who wants the best for the kids!

@madeinhawaii….yes I would love to see the Hawaii team play at the Humana Bowl!!! I buy tickets for the Hawaii Bowl even though we do not live there, just to help fill the seats. Hawaii football fans need to appreciate their own bowl games. And to have the opportunity to see other teams is incredible! WOW last years game was great when SMU kicked the hell out of Nevada. Did anyone not see that game???? It was FANTASTIC!

I hope Hawaii can get into a conference. We are like the STEP CHILD of American football. I was thinking of getting a petition to the NCAA to include Hawaii since no one really wants to play us due to cost, distance. They need to make a waiver about the 48 hour rule. If that could happen, things might change. Hard for the east cost to come over and play with the time difference. Heck, one friend of ours who has a kid on USC team they were saying how tired they were….I called him a panty, LOL!

Hi Ralph!

CFN’s mid-season WAC Rundown

No forget to vote for Moniz! Time’s running out in the first round of voting, which ends at noon, Central Time, this coming Sunday, 24 October 2010. Sixteen finalists will move on to the second round.

Aloha PolyMom! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and comments. It’s always good to hear observatons from a parent’s point-of-view. btw, would you be wlling to share wth us Warrior fans your son’s name? If not, no worres.

Ralph – firing another head coach is not the problem…fire the d4mn owner!!!!

PolyMom,

You’re welcome. I think we are obligated by contract to play in the Hawaii Bowl if bowl eligible and not going to a BCS game. If not, better exposure is always good. I was mistaken earlier. The Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl (formerly known as the Emerald Bowl) does get a WAC team this year and in the 2013 season. The Poinsettia Bowl doesn’t get a WAC team those two years. By the way, I would love for the Warriors to play in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl since I live in the Bay area.

For a WAC team to play in a game outside of their normal four tie-ins, I think the WAC has to cover all of it’s normal bowls first. If Boise makes it into a BCS game, the WAC would need 6 bowl eligible teams to accept an invitation outside of our normal four. If Boise loses and doesn’t make a BCS game, we still need 5 bowl eligible teams. It’s possible this year if LA Tech and Idaho are bowl eligible. However, the only way that happens is if they beat some of the higher ranking teams in the WAC standings.

By the way, I completely agree that we need more than one tutor when on the road. Education is more important than athletics. That’s why Student comes before Athlete in Student Athlete.

#402 MIH that midseason report was posted on Friday, 15 Oct. before we upset Reno. 🙂

So Jon Werner from the Mercury News finally came out of his denial and is accepting the Hawaii Warriors as an legit team?

Holy Macaroni

Re#414 – WiLner … cannot leave out the L for Loser in the name. 😈

In a month or two or by the end of November I will be happy to let you know where he has chosen. I want him to have the freedom, and I hope you can respect his freedom to decide. But as we have told him no matter what school he decides to attend, we are going to support his decision and be there for him in every way!!!! And where ever he attends college I know his Hawaii family will be cheering him on!!!! Just a few more weeks. It is very hard for these young men to decide where they should attend and play football. But I can promise you this…those who do know our boy on these threads…LOVE HIM! He can play two sides of the line. And he has 5 years to play. Not a JC College transfer. He is D1 ready to GO!!! And with extensive training at top notch camps, he will not disappoint the Hawaii fans!!!!

FYI: The fan voting for the Davey O’Brien award only counts for 5% of the total voting per round. So even if Mo doesn’t wind up in the fan’s top 16 of this round he can still advance. However, keep on voting as every little bit helps.

@Matt, mahalo for understanding our concerns. As parents it is about being a student first then an athlete. Maybe Na Koa should look into this matter with more tutors on long road games. Just think one tutor, hell my kid would use that one tutor the entire time. LOL!!! If that happens we might have to send a tutor with him and computers ect. Did you read that story when Moniz cousins had to deliver a computer? I was a little surprised they do not have more study hall or entertainment while on the road. I can see my husband having to travel with the kid to get the homework caught up. When you have a LD you need more time to study. And many of these good football players have LD’s and need more help to be a successful student.

Pomai,

Aloha.

PolyMom,

The story I read was that Moniz’s cousins were already coming to Las Vegas on business. They brought him a new computer because it was cheaper on the mainland and to save him the shipping cost.

I’m only reading the early entries of today’s blog, but excuse me if my question has already been addressed. Would someone please explain the rules of an onside kick? It seemed that Nevada’s final kick off did not touch the ground. Instead it was just booted short and high. Doesn’t that mean that the kicking team must allow the receiving team a chance to catch the ball? If not, can the receiving team call for a fair catch and thus not allow the kicking team a chance to catch the ball?

OLDIE:

Lost your e-mail address in the HD crash!

Finally got around to d/l my Oceanic DVR only to find that it has to be replaced! Got game(s)?

Moniz, or any other QB, for that matter, can only advance if he’s on the Selection Committee’s list of 16 Finalists. So, it would be in our (and his) best interest if we can move him as close to the top 16 of the first round as possible.

Of the QB’s above Moniz…

Houston’s David Piland inherited votes from two prior QB’s. He has only started the last two games, and they lost both games.

Texas A&M’s (3-3) Jerrod Johnson won against weak teams, and has 14 TD’s to 9 INT’s.

NC State’s (5-2) Russell Wilson is in a similar situation… weaker teams… 18 TD’s, 9 INT’s.

East Carolina’s (4-2) Dominique Davis… same… weaker teams… 16 TD’s, 9INT’s.

Washington’s (3-3) Jake Locker had some really ugly losses (4/20-71tds, 1TD, 2INT v.NEB)

The list goes on…

On the other hand, Moniz leads the nation in passing and passing offense, has a decent QB rating of 162.54, with 21 TD’s and only 4 picks. He also has a rushing TD, and his team is now atop his conference, having just knocked off a ranked opponent.

Da problem with the Warriors being the top WAC contenders in defeating Boise State is that they play on their infamous Blue turf. The Broncos have are 73-2 at home with losses coming from Boston College and Washington State. Thats a scary statistic. I still like Nevada’s chances, even though they have failed numerous times to unseat Boise’s dominanance, as the Wolf Pack will have home field advantage in from of s sellout crowd.

#428 Mad Dog: from my understanding the on side kick has to travel 10 yards. Kickers

who have to execute work on kicking the ball high in the air that will allow after ten yards traveled it’s offensive kicking team time to recover it as it is a MAD fight for both teams in controling the ball.

When this situation comes up the opposing team usually has their best hand athletes up

front as many on side kicks has high trajectary and spin that you need your “good hands”

athletes to field the ball and secure it’s posession.

There is no fair catch for an onside kick.

Gee, my engrish is not too good today.

Mad Dog,

Yes you can call for a fair catch if the kick doesn’t touch the ground first. Here’s what I posted in #160:

Matt:

October 17th, 2010 at 9:00 am

I just watched the replay of the onside kick. I can’t tell for sure, but it looks like he kicked it into the ground. The direction that the ball is rotating would indicate that it hit the ground. If he kicked the bottom of the ball straight up, it would have been rotating clockwise (if watching it from the bottom of the midfield “H” logo). Instead, the ball appeared to be rotating counterclockwise. Both of the WAC Sports Network announcers also stated that he did kick it into the ground and they had access to the slow motion replays. Dick Tomey even made a point of saying that we couldn’t fair catch the ball because of it. I don’t have a HD copy of the game, but that’s the way that it looked to me.

I have since watched a HD replay of the game and I am almost positive that the ball bounced off the ground. It was just a perfect onside kick.

My understanding of the onside kick rule is what Michigan Warrior posted in #437.

I tell you what, though… the way Reno lined up to do that onside kick was really creative! It could really mess up our opponents if we tried that as a surprise.

Aloha to RAINBOWCLIFF who works hard here in California to get kids to look at Hawaii. RAINBOWCLIFF does an excellent job of connecting with the kids and parents. Mahalo to RAINBOWCLIFF for all the support here on the mainland for the Hawaii fans. Also want to say mahalo to all of you for being so welcoming and accepting of our children when they come to Hawaii for school and sports. You are all a wonderful Ohana here on these threads. Aloha to you all…POLYMOM!

Michigan Warrior,

#444. We would need to have two kickers that could kick an onside kick first. I personally think they chose to kick to the side that Greg Salas wasn’t on.

Hawaiianbod, aloha to you and yours!

Matt and Michigan Warrior I stand to be corrected as I never saw a fair catch

for an on side kick as I have been watching football since child hood.

We learn everyday as I thank you both for the clarification !

….and I’m back.

Congratulations to the Warriors for gaining some recognition.

Congratulations to Davone Bess.

RC… it’s happened before… but usually on those pooch kicks where it goes just over the front line of the receiving team. That’s why, when attempting an onsides kick, teams will usually kick the ball into the ground and have it bounce up. Then, they have a front row of attackers who just try to blow people out of the area, followed by hands people right in back of them, trying to find and grab the ball.

βρεω808,

Good to see you posting again.

Contrary to how some fans feel about opponents, I always have great respect for opponents. They work hard, they put in lots of time and effort and I applaud them for what they do. I expect my opponent to compete, I expect them to be competitive, I expect them to bite and scratch their way, every second of the game. I expect to play against our opponents best effort. I wouldn’t have it any other way. If they storm off the field angry about losing, if they say things that aren’t nice, that doesn’t hurt my feelings. All it says is that they wanted the win real bad. I applaud that. No sense come to town if it wasn’t REAL important for you to win. If the opponent are poor sports and poor losers, it doesn’t hurt me. As a matter of fact, I understand. It was important to them. then my victory is that much sweeter.

But again, I have respect for the opponent. They are always good. That’s why I want to beat them, because I respect that they bring their best efforts and I will beat them at their best. If they weren’t any good then it would be a waste of time to play them.

#446 PolyMom: MAHALO kind lady for your kind thoughts and praises for

the work I do in aiding my alma mater. I feel it is my obligation as an alum to

help UH to the best of my abilities as I and many other LA Hawaii alums share

to join me in our volunteer efforts in making UH a wonderful college experience !

Once a Bow, ALWAYS a BOW as I have a whole closet of Hawaii gear that you

see me when we have the opportunity of sharing ALOHA with one another !

I take GREAT PRIDE in representing the 50th State and my LOVE for young people

ALL started in Oahu being an 18 year old scholarship student athlete freshmen that

had tremendous experiences working with the children of Hawaii from 1976-81.

Take care polymom as always a pleasure to know you and what you stand for

the “VERY BEST” as an accomplish Hawaiian Mother to so many love ones who

cares for your GREATNESS !

Pride is right. Respect your opponents.

Oh duh…. now I realize #273 was a rhetorical question/statement since Ronnie knows everything!

Hi brew! Actually, I was wondering because they looked the same to me, but when what’s his name was intercepted, the WAC guys were saying that “nobody can make that throw”. When Moniz completed his pass, all they talked about was how he was able to “use his feet” to get himself out of trouble and that Salas was there for the catch…

Yeehaw Ronnie!!! Hope you had a terrific bday! 🙄

As for Mo – he’s very accurate and has a pretty quick release. #10 – can chuck the pigskin 65 yds – and it will be somewhere down there. The announcers were also babbling about the winds at Aloha. But do you remember the long pass to Pollard in 2Q? It was an incompletion, but only due to a terrific play by the DB. It was right on target! 🙂

What a win that was!!! It is good to be back in the islands after 2 years in Korea, which was fun also. Great to be back at Aloha Stadium with all the faithful.

Go Warriors!!!!!!!

Poly Mom:

Most, if not all, of us who participate on this blog have a very special “ohana” feeling for all student athletes who chose to play for UH and I do not hesitate to thank the student – that goes for any sport. Some are very surprised that a fan will do this.

If your son should decide on UH, he will automatically become part of the “family” and be treated as such. For me, it does not matter where the student comes from, it matters when he/she chooses UH for academics/sports.

On side kick rule:

Can the receiving team, after the ball is kicked, advance and hit/block the kicking team players so they have a smaller opportunity to get the ball? or, must they hold their ground to be blasted by the kicking team?

How would you coach this?

Hawaiianbod, thanks for the invite, might just have to do that one day…

Gigi it is. Taegu is just the same, it was amazing when I got there. They even had a TGIF… I love Korea, speak a little of it, not much, but if I wanted to retire somewhere, Korea would be it. The cost of living is awesome and the Korean people are just so great….

haha. not me. I prefer to retire in Honolulu. I love it here.

I know, been here 21 years, except for that 2 year trip to Korea. I love Hawaii. Greatest place on Earth…

Looking ahead:

1) What are the needs in recruiting for the 2011 class? Who are all the grayshirts right now who will join the team in January?

2) Who will be the heir apparent for departing slotbacks Salas and Pilares.

Ryan Henry and Dustin Blount are also seniors. We lose Bradley too. Pollard will be back as well as Darius Bright. Who else will be in the mix?

Do we need to recruit some receivers?

3) Wouldn’t it be nice to get a QB who is 6’3″ to 6’6″ who has 4.3 to 4.4 speed and can throw. Seems that’s the in thing now w/ guys like Denard Robinson, Taylor Martinez, Camron Newton, and of course Kaepernick. These dual QBs are very skilled and are dangerous. Jake Locker is fast, but his throwing isn’t as good as some others. But, he’s projected to be a very high first round draft pick.

It must be very discouraging for the Fresno St. women’s volleybal program. Read that they are 0-48 against our Wahines. Maybe that’s why they wanted to leave for another conference. They are tired of losing to Hawaii.

lets worry about the current season before looking ahead. We have players waiting for their opportunity….when that time comes.

Re: 292: “For as many turnovers as the Hawaii D forced it is impressive that Nevada only gave up 27 pts.”

Disagree. Some perspective: First Kaepernick fumble led to UH touchdown. First Kaepernick interception came in end zone with 1:18 left in first half. Second Kaepernick fumble resulted in a touchback (bigger play by Paredes, to me, than Moniz-to-Salas, which was great). Final Kaepernick interception, of course, clinched the game. So Warriors really only had one scoring opportunity off the four turnovers and they scored a touchdown.

AURYTE WARRIORS!!!!!!

No time to BASK!

GO WARRIORS!

Tombo Ahi had the good listing by class http://www.tomboahi.com/uhfb10/

I’d like to see Billy Ray at slotback next year

#460 pride.

…nuff said.

Pride Kazz was upset with you more than me. No worries, if he kicks you it’s only your shins, but if he tries head butting which he is known for, watch out for the alas

We need to put a park and camp on Mount Kaala for our Warriors to condition at, it is also the highest spot on the island of oahu at 4025 feet.

Saturday’s Hawai’i vs. Utah State game got picked up for espn3.com

Coach Mack – i know you read the Warrior Beat so please adhere to konagirl’s advice….because the preperation for the Colorado game did not produce successful results.

Offensive line has played well lately. Defensive line has looked impressive also.

With this years team it started in the off season. They had the highest rate of participation in off season workouts ever. Tommy Heffernan did a great job of creating a workout program and motivated a lot of players to stick to it or even exceed it.

Hope this something that becomes a tradition with future teams.

Lot of leaders on this team.

Next year Brian Moniz will be a senior – but our most (all?) our receivers will be graduating.

I hope that the next couple of games will be easy ones so that the underclassmen will get much needed game experience.

@483 &484, you guys Korean? I frequent the kalihi area (yikes!), enjoy the Korean passion & food! Love the Wonder Girls, hope they make it in the US.

thnx for the link, skycap!

Boxco -good to see you back, again!…what about the Korean “You buy me drinkee’ bars? heheh

Hahaha-HB!

Thanks HB! If you know about the bars, maybe I’ve met you before? LOL!

When do they announce the WAC players of the week?

Dang.. Redskins… haunted by the “Colt” factor again, eh?

tommui #430 – I’ll get one out to you. I need another day to get it done.

Wow! Just saw the news. Davone Bess gonna score some major kala! Can’t believe the NFL scouts wiffed on him. Hopefully, some team will give Colt a chance.

LK-Ouch! I’m a big time time Raiders fan, really wished they gave Colt a chance. Thought he would be the second coming of Ken Stabler. Oh well, like you said, “BACHI!”

Congratulations to Davone!!! Beautiful TD catch, too.

Nah I don’t really rush. I breakdown the door, tro every ting on the ground and ….. Ah u guys know the rest.

No actually I drive home like smokey the bandit, eluding all traffic lights and going the shortest way home.

And then I watch…………… the Mac Show.

Welcome to the club.

Wow, A-Joe! Up late or early?

Outta here!

Not many people would say this. Youve got some guts. I will say this, though. If you dont want to alienate any readers, youre gonna have to stop generalising so much. Perhaps you should try seeing both sides of this issue instead of assuming that yours is the only valid opinion. Id still read it, I like the way you write. But I noticed some people getting upset.

Good Morning Tsaiko Family!

And CONGRATULATIONS to Corey Paredes for being selected as WAC Defensive Player of the Week.

After you have manipulated the material and bound it good and tight with rubber bands, let it sit for half a day. This will be hard, as a consequence you will want your lovely tie dyed shirt as soon as possible, but let it sit with the bindings for a while. Then give it another soak, for around an hour, in water mixed with certain soda ash. Soda ash is the lively ingredient in washing soda, that is obtainable at grocery stores. Various brands have added brighteners, which you don’t want. Arm and Hammer’s Washing Soda doesn’t have any additives. This ingredient adjustments the pH of the dye, allowing it to bind with the fabric permanently. Combine just one cup to at least one gallon of heat water before including the wrapped fabric. Now you will be ready to fill several squirt bottles with dye that is been mixed with water. If you’ve made a swirl pattern, you are able to begin with yellow in the middle and work out through the colours of the rainbow for a pretty effect. Or choose two to three colors and let them combine around their edges. Upon having your shirt covered in dye, let it sit for a while–another half day is enough. Then wash in your own washer with an excellent detergent. Voila!

Quite right! Idea good, I support.
