Warriors arrive

Good Morning Tsaikos!
Skies are clearing up around Ala Moana Park

ST,
Where is the get together spot the night before the game? Hukilaus?

Aloha Kakahiaka!

So far, checks totaling $170 from the from the T-Gate HI-5 redemption fee proceeds have been sent to Na Koa, Hawaii High School Athletic Association, Dave Shoji’s Serving Up 1000 Fund, Dole Middle School’s Cross-Country Program, and Pacifc Islands Athletic Alliance.

Mahalo to all of you who contributed.

The beneficiaries of the last two T-Gates will be the summer school scholarship funds for men’s and women’s sports other than football & volleyball.

bhf2 – don’t forget to call me. I’ll be out of the Stadium Authority meeting around 12:30 pm and will be free to talk until 2 pm and again after 3 pm.

Good Morning All! Hope everyone has a good one today.

I’m back! Been away from the blog way too long. Boss isn’t in today so I can blog a little.

i wonder how many recruits will be attending the game this saturday?

So you’re saying we have a chance?!

ST ~ You made it sound like Brashton was going to Alcatraz for something more than a visit! Is there a sequel to “The Rock” in the making?

good morning DPK

…Then do Alcatraz at Night.
Double whammy for a good scare

did you know it is 315 miles from eureka to san jose and would take about six hours on the scenic us101?

Where are you guys staying and/or practicing? Stephen? Tsaiko master?

Let the festivities begin ya’ll!!!! Cheeeehoooo from SJ yo!!

Maverick ~ Alcatraz used to close in the late afternoon because the only electricty on island was in the shop. Must be drawing more visitors and selling cheaply made-in-china flashlights for $19.95.

Winchester House is another creepy place! That ghost lady is still wandering around that house with her endless plans to build more rooms.

Good Morning DPK!

Are you anticipating a high level chess match betwixt Tomey & Mack? Somewhere in between the head games, I think they may even get around to playing some fb!
__________________________________________________________

Howzit Kekoa! Hey Calvin!

Kekoa-san,

The trickeration and counter-trickeration should be in full bloom up there midst the wine country. Some even suggest that the Silver Fox, Dick Tomey, announced his retirement early just to get the psychological jump on the Warriors. That’s just the opening salvo I am sure. Closed practices were a good move by Mack. This will be a fun game to watch. I see the Warriors winning a thriller, 28-24.

Got that Pomai?

Yikes! Spilt dat blue ink all ova!

YEAHHHHH Top 38th!!!!!!!!

DPK,

Has San Jose State scored 24 points against an opponent this season?

Al,

Gotta agree with SteveM. Only takes 4 to 4.5 hours in real time. Dunno about Scenic route, though… at 75+ mph. LA to SF, though.. now that’s 8 hours give or take an hour due to rush hour traffic, fog or rain.

Dick Tomey announcing his retirement before the game… think that will bring the SJSU fans out to see the game? Or will they be more UH fans, like always?

Aloha Kakahiaka!!!

ST, PP, Stretch, Rich ~

Have a great time tomorrow going up to wine country. Who’s your DD? 😀

Hope Royce is truly 100%. Don’t want him re-injuring that leg. Get well, Warriors!

GO WARRIORS!!!

Hmmm…different coaches, different philosophies.

20 minute shorter practices in Manoa to keep fresher legs? Didn’t Mack say that every game is like a playoff game now?

Talked to #2 son last night at about 8:30 their time. They are prepping for playoffs. He said they had just got off the practice field and were heading into meetings…

…then he had to do homework!

#28 ~ al, they aren’t going to Eureka… San Jose to Napa via 680 is only 1.5 hours. It’s not the scenic route though.

mih-
We’re giving them a boost due to the beloved Coach’s retirement. Besides, I never get the score right anyway, so why not make it a thriller?

Sideways, Wine Country and the episode of Conan O’Brian when he did Wine Country. 😆

Too bad they’re going allaway up to Napa. There’s some very good wineries here in the south bay and are a lot closer with some great wine. There’s the:

– Mountain Winery in Saratoga. It’s perched on the top of the mountain with a great view of the south bay.
– Cinnabar Winery in Saratoga
– Wente Vineyards in Livermore

Either way…same outcome. A ole great time out!

Anybody know if SJSU is laden with senior starters? If so, they will play their hearts out for the coach.

I just want us to win out, thriller or no thriller… 😆

slugger, slugger, slugger….are you trying to be the new gigi?

there is a subliminal message buried between the lines of post #28. i see you did not get it, nor did anyone else.

possibly though, letsgowarriors aka letsgobows may have picked up on it.

#53 & 55, we will be watching the game at

Lisa’s House @ 3250 Ualena St. Offering karaoke, darts, pool and ono food, plus live music every Friday from 5:30-8:30 p.m. and 9 p.m.-midnight. There are happy hour specials from a large and varied menu on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, too, on both drinks and food. Some unusual menu items include Pesto Steak, Portabella Fries and Tempura Poke. And of course UH football

slugger because i like you….here’s a hint. read post #18.

no beck’s for you.

I go to Napa for auto parts.

On the other hand… “Sonoma” is what I am sometimes tempted to call my son… followed by some less than flattering noun that I’ve had occasion to affixed to my ex-wife.

speaking about the bowl….not the tsaimin bowl.

it looks like smu will be the conference usa representative.

it will take a miracle for us to get in this bowl experience. but, who knows.

if the miracle doesn’t happen, i wouldn’t mind having nevada and kapernick up against our former head coach and staff. that could fill some seats yah?

that would light up the scoreboard.

chopsueyboy I don’t know, never been to the place, the one an only Koakane set this up, so if no good den can blame him LOL

Pomai,

Actually, I think it was C rM’s suggestion for the venue this week. I won’t be there but, regardless, I wouldn’t be the first in line to blame him for anything! 😆

Might be a great place, plus 98.75% likely they serve beer by the pitcher if chosen by Koakane. 🙂

Locations like this, if large enough, might be a good venue for an indoor “tailgate” if we can’t get into Richardson Field. Just need a bus to/from the stadium… 🙄

I still don’t get it. Why would you put somebody like Kealoha Pilares on the outside when the coaches say “we need to get him the ball so that he could run in space”? They need to utilize him in a better way. This is one guy that (in a good way) could take a load off of Salas’ back.

#77 ~ ralph,

If we’re rotating players in who don’t have as much game time experience, you may not win the game. Check out the last Utah St. touchdown. I wondered why it looked like Utah St. was just marching the ball down the field. Thanks to Oldie, I got to review that series and Jim L. or Russ Y. mentioned that we were playing a mix of starters and 2nd stringers at that point. If you want to win the game, you’re going to play your starters until you have a comfortable lead. It’s a Catch-22: the 2nd string needs to get game reps, but do you want to win the game?

oh yah tsai…
gilroy’s outlet mall nice place to burn a few coins. ever wonder why they placed the outlet mall in the middle of all that garlic???

make sure you order the 4 x 4 animal style w/extra large fries.

nice al!

i’m more of a 4×4 spread only, extra large fries, extra large ice tea with lemon, and large vanilla shake.

gilroy outlets is cool…rather go to great mall though. closer and pretty much the same stores. the only reason i go to gilroy is the sony outlet.

Mr. Cut- I’d contact JD’s office about the wallpaper.

I would like to see Coach Mack’s staff rotate players all the time, like many other schools including the PROS, that will give the #2 players much needed game experience without hurting your chances of losing the game. Noticed Boise St subing 3-5 players on the Oline constantly.

All it takes is good planning, organizing, distribution, supervising, and receiving feed back from the players throughout the game and post game.

Ever notice how the starting WRs and RBs on many teams come off the field after a long route and going back after one or two plays. Keeps everybody fresh and allows for game experience. UH, on the other hand, will keep them in until they are POOPED.

ahouse…no forget it also takes recruiting!

808chef….i’ve had the 4×4 but once. i have a hard time gripping that bugga with my jaws. 3×3 is more my size gotta save room for those fresh cut fries you know.

and thanks for reminding me of that vanilla shake, slurp!

ah so many great food places in the bay area. there’s a greek affair in palo alto that is awesome but for the life of me i can’t recall the name. they have this fried octopus salad that is to die for.

Practice time is precious. I don’t know about shortening it by 20 minutes. You could always use the time to develop younger players.

Wun hunnard!

Fresh legs eh? I like the confidence that Coach Dana has in her ladies. In today’s Advertiser, there was a good description of what Coach Dana did to keep the intensity up on her team. She played deep into the bench with 11 girls and each “shift” was about 4 minutes of high intensity play, then they’d “change out” for the next batch of “fresh legs”.

Of course basketball is NOT football…

Regarding # 90

I agree that despite the lip service about rotating receivers during the game the coaches aren’t doing it. The excuse appears to be that the second stringers aren’t cutting it at practice. Problem is that it’s clear Jon Mederios should have been starting all along but was beat out at practice. Tough to find gamers if you don’t let them play.

I must say this though,

I am very happy that a guy like John Medeiros is getting alot of playing time. He has shown that he can catch the ball and make big play’s. If the coaches had decided to rotate players more often I feel that a guy like John Medeiros would definitely be making a big time name for himself as a solid possession receiver.

Well I am just happy that he is getting his chance now.

SailorBlue & Calvin from Kona ~

Here’s the 411 on where we will be for the TV-Gate. It’s located near Byron’s Drive Inn near the Hnl airport:

http://www.808dartsrus.com/Bars/Lisa_house.htm

Remember, we are the guest of one of HPD’s finest. We will be limited to a very small number of bar fights during the game. Thus, each of us are assigned to monitor the behavior of the Tsaikettes.

Since where on the subject,

I would also like to see guy’s like Dustin Blount, Joe Avery, and Ryan Henry get some touches too.

I am happy the Royce Pollard has also got his chance and has shown that he can do it but I think the guy that has been lost in the JC recruiting of 2008 is Mike Tinoco. He came in with some hype also but has not got his sniff of playing time.

I guess you can say that there is alot of talent in the receiving corps but not enough balls to go around.

Well I guess that’s a good problem to have especially with all the injuries that have been happening.

Hard to Believe, but….
1) USC beat Ohio St., but OSU is going to the Rose Bowl and USC is not. As it turned out, USC is overrated….so is Oklahoma and V-Tech.
2) If Notre Dame loses their last 2 games, they will end up 6-6. If UH wins out, they will be 7-6. Hello!!!!!! Sheraton Hawaii Bowl re-match. Stranger things have happened. And, Notre Dame can do their dance again, the one that McMackin mentioned at the WAC coaches meeting.
Dejavu all over again. For what it’s worth…I hate Notre Dame. They are so arrogant…the only team with a TV package on network television (NBC)…so rich and says they are so good that they can stay independent and keep all the money to themselves. Well, good for them for losing all those games. I hope UConn and Stanford beat the …..you know what big time.
3) Tim Lincecum is making only $650,000. For a 2 time Cy Young winner, he is very, very, very grossly underpaid. I hope the Giants pay him what he deserves (pay for performance). Otherwise, they will lose him the minute he’s a free agent. He’ll probably leave anyway. Too bad, because the Giants are my favorite team, but their everyday lineup sucks. No offense.
4) There’s a chance TCU will play Alabama…a Mountain West team again like Utah playing Alabama, the bad beasts of the SEC. And I hope TCU beat Alabama the same way Utah beat Bama last year in the Sugar Bowl, proving once again that a non-BCS team can whomp the big boys.
Heck, I hope they play each for the national championship. It could happen, if, Pitt beats Cincinnati, Alabama beats Florida, and Texas loses to Texas AM or Nebraska in the Big 12 conf. championship game.

madeinhawaii,

I totally agree with what you are saying in #113. The only thing that bothers me is that guys like John Medeiros and Royce Pollard have shown that we have some talented second teamers but they would not have seen the feild without all these injuires. Even a guy like Avery would not have gotten time without Royce Pollard getting hurt.

The only way they will learn is by getting the playing time and the only way the coaches will know if the player can play is if they get playing time.

kama,

Let ’em get PT after the team is up by 4 TD’s in 4th.

I guess the question is, is it only possible to have 4 receivers on the same page as the quarterback per season, which could mean disaster next season, or can we incorporate up to 10 receivers who are in sync with the quarterback. I really believe this is an issue because Ron Lee said before the season that we have 10 receivers who can play. If Ron said we are only blessed with 4 receivers who can catch the ball this discussion would not be taking place.

Old Diver,

10 can play; I’m OK if they play only 4 who can WIN!

Agree receivers need to be rotated.
Leave the opponents db’s gasping for air while we continue to rotate
with fresh bodies. 2nd – 3rd string keep running them long and hard
and help get the db’s out of the way. No pass thrown their way,
no interception risk.

…OK gotta start packing.

GO WARRIORS!
GO WILDCATS X 2!

Hmm… problem is.. Greg went down before they could rotate receivers. They needed receivers that ran the patterns the way they are supposed to be run so that the back-up QB who was #4 wouldn’t get too confused or lose his confidence when receivers ran the wrong way.

Then Bradley went down and … didn’t they try Avery there for a spell? Pollard? others before settling on Pilares?

November 19th, 2009 at 2:39 pm

mih,

Exactly. QB and receivers need to be on the same page in most offenses; in the RnS, they better be on the same paragraph, sentence and punctuation mark!

____________________________________________________________

Hot Dayum! Brilliant!!

The Deseret News has an interesting article about what the MWC should do and what they probably will do to expand their conference.

There’s been a lot of talk lately about expanding the Mountain West Conference to include Boise State or perhaps BSU and two other schools to make a 12-team conference with two divisions.

I’ve got another idea. Instead of expanding, how about contracting the conference and switching a few schools in and out?

Utah, BYU, TCU, Houston, Boise State, Air Force, UNLV and San Diego State would make a solid eight-school league. Even if UNLV and San Diego State never get much better in football, both are solid basketball schools that would make up for having Air Force and TCU, two non-powers in basketball, in the league.

The advantages to such a league would be many.

The league would have a much better chance to join the other six BCS conferences by adding a couple of strong football schools and getting rid of some of the deadwood.

With eight teams, each school would receive a bigger share of BCS and NCAA Tournament money.

The travel partners would line up pretty well with BYU-Utah, UNLV-San Diego State and TCU-Houston with only the Boise State-Air Force partnership not being geographically convenient. Having travel partners would save a bunch of money by eliminating all of the single-game trips in every sport but football.

But what about New Mexico, Colorado State and Wyoming, you say?

Sure, we’d feel bad for those three schools. But tell me what those three bring to the league football-wise or basketball-wise.

Ralph,

Thing is… the guys that got injured and needed to be relieved were the last people that I think anyone expected to be out. So suddenly your second stringers are your first stringers, and you have really no third stringers cause you could only recruit 25 of players the last time around and had to do a last minute shotgun approach to recruiting offensive players the season before. Most of your last 25 are redshirts and grayshirts and only a small fraction of the previous year guys are defensive players and just getting their feet wet.

Considering that. They’ve come a heck of a long way!

Offensively, most of our skill players have been in the system less than two years. About half, less than a year. We already know it takes about two years to get the RnS down and internalize it so you can play instinctively. So, it’s been a roller coaster of a season. BUT not one too unexpected for all that took place the past season and an half.

Wahine behind 16 – 7, 14 mins and change first half.

35 – 21 Bruins, 3mins to the half

28-49 Bruins on top… half time.

15 TO’s at the half, out rebound 20 -12

49 – 28 half

Salas sprined foot still gimpy watching the news clip Chawan posted.

Best he sit out and be ready for Navy and Wisconsin.

If UH should lose to San Jose, no one can put the blame on Moniz and/or Salas for not playing – it’s a team effort and replacements must be ready to set in – if not, serious long look at their continued stay with UH.

run greg run

Wait…can we make the Hawaii Bowl if we only win 2 of 3 and finish 6-7? I heard it has to be win all 3 and go 7-6? I thought only 6 wins are needed for eligibility…

Vika:

Hawaii plays 13 games so they must win 7 to be eligible.

Other schools that play only 12 games are bowl eligible with a 6 & 6 record.

Eh so game start early afternoon then on Sat. yeah?

Update on the stud RB that visited UH during the NMSU weekend. He’s going to Utah this weekend, the *second* time he’s visiting Utah (the other time was on an unofficial visit).

Joshua Quezada is a 5-foot-11-inch, 210-pound recruit from La Habra High School who has set the field on fire, rushing for an average of 9.3 yards per carry. Although he’s not quite sure of his season tally in regards to total yards and touchdowns, one could well imagine those are astonishingly high as well.

“I’m coming off what might be my best game of the year,” he said. “I rushed for 268 yards last week and five touchdowns and was named player of the week for my entire league for the second time this year, so that was nice.”

“I just got back from Hawaii and this coming weekend I’m tripping to Utah,” he informed. “I’m really looking forward to my Utah trip since I liked my unofficial visit there so much. I’ve taken official visits to both BYU and now to Hawaii and I liked both of those schools a lot more after the official visits, so I’m sort of expecting the same after my official visit to Utah.”

His visit this past weekend vaulted Hawaii up the chart of his top schools.

“They’re right up there with Utah and BYU as one of my top schools after my visit,” he said. “I really enjoyed the trip there, the coaches, the atmosphere. It was a great time.”

“I’m still considering all the schools that have offered me pretty equally right now,” he informed. “I like BYU a lot and what they do and I loved my visit there, but I also loved my visit to Hawaii. The disadvantage of Hawaii is that they’re so far away, but I’ll definitely consider them. I’m anxious to see Utah again and see how I feel there along with Washington and Fresno State. I know that I have to decide soon, but I’m going to take my visits and then consider what is best for me.”

I’m glad to hear the optimistic update on Salas…hopefully he will be healthy enough to play, but if the trainers are worried they should sit him out because he will need to carry a *heavy* load against Navy and Wisconsin.

Novel approach will determine if it is feasible to inject CO2 deep underground where it would react with rocks and remain for thousands of years. Computer simulations indicate that this should basically turn the greenhouse gas into *stone* and mitigate the impact of global warming, and now they are moving towards real-world experiments to see if this really can work.

Free play links pau for at least 4 days due to the upcoming trip to the SJSU game.

Garret,

In your opinion is Fresno being considered by the MWC also?

If Houston goes to the MWC, that would leave an opening in C-USA…and Louisiana Tech might make sense there. I think that the WAC is a better conference than C-USA (I could be a homer on that, C-USA is probably better in basketball), but geographically C-USA would make more sense to La Tech.

Okay… so BSU and Nevada gots to MWC… LaTech to C-USA… SJSU and NMSU drop football or go down to D1aa…

What would happen to the WAC and Hawaii?

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/293911-raider-qb-twenty-tenwaffles-and-moreinsert-clever-title

Garret,

Would that mean the end of football for Fresno, Idaho, and Utah State?

If worst got to worst, UH may have to play 8 or 9 out of 13 games on the road until the WAC can rebound. Not likely, though, in this economic climate.

The entire athletic department will be gutted if football folds. Title IX won’t be a factor in balancing finances anymore so the girls sports will get hit hard.

Fresno State men’s basketball team lost to Seattle U. 85-84. Wow!

OldDiver,

The good thing is that everything is happening in slow motion. BSU isn’t going to leave tomorrow and I do not think they will leave in the offseason either (they will ask the MWC but the MWC will probably them wait at least another year). NMSU and SJSU aren’t going to drop football next year or the year after that.

The bad thing is that the budget situations for NMSU, SJSU, Utah State, Idaho, Fresno State, and UH are going to squeeze all of their athletic departments. I don’t know how Nevada’s funding situation is, but their state can’t be doing that great either due to the state of the casinos. Only BSU seems to be in good financial shape, and if they get a BCS bowl this year and raise that $20 million through their stock sale, they can upgrade their facilities and do all kinds of things with their athletic department that will insure additional revenue in future years. They used their past BCS bowl money to create seating areas in their stadium that raise additional money for them in each home game…UH used their BCS bowl money to reduce the budget deficit that HF left.

The best thing for UH would be to part of the WAC teams that join the MWC in making a superconference. Trouble is, the MWC didn’t want UH the last time due to travel expenses and travel is *more* expensive to Hawaii now. With Title IX there are more women’s sports and that increases the number of teams that have to fly to Hawaii for road trips.

The best thing that UH can do…really the only thing that can help…is to provide such value to a conference that the travel issue is canceled out. The way to do that is to have strong football and men’s basketball teams (those are basically the only ones that count towards conference $$$). Trouble is, the basketball team was picked last in the WAC and the football team is no longer the favorite of ESPN.

Remember, I said that things were moving in slow motion so UH has another year or two to have the football and men’s basketball teams to become conference champions once again. If things aren’t strong in both sports in 2 years, I’m worried that UH will be left out in the conference merry-go-round that should happen around the time of the next BCS negotiations. If UH isn’t a top-3 team in the WAC by Mac’s 4th year, it could be too late…Mac’s 5th year is probably after the deals will have been done.

All of this is strictly my opinion. I could be completely off base. SJSU could also drop football due to their budget situations and that would leave another opening for UH to join the MWC…too bad for UH that their new football coach turned their team around in his first season.

madeinhawaii,

If UH makes $5 million in ticket sales from 7 home games (info from the Advertiser recently), then that is about $700k per home game. That doesn’t even count the premium parking money and the advertising in Aloha Stadium.

Without enough football home games, UH cannot have an Athletic Department. Even the $1 million body bag games aren’t worth as much for UH (compared to other schools like SJSU) due to the travel expenses from Hawaii.

Eh, Salas stay go, so dat’s a good ting!

I guess Salas and Moniz not practicing was a “head-fake” for SJSU and Coach Tomey.

Just saw KGMB TV sports….Moniz was throwing passes and Salas was running pass patterns…..so much for them not participating in practice…..

Who’s ever in charge STEVE M make it happen for me sir and I will make sure to take good care of you or he or she VIP !

Mahalo !

What I take from Ferd’s article on Tomey is not very much, for I think Ferd could have dedicated a better article than that, especially when Tomey is more deserving of a immortalizing type of article instead of trivia tidbits.

My thoughts on the MWC, they screwed us before and they will try it again. The WAC’s problem is they don’t have any leadership. Benson and the fumbler are two of the same coins.

The Palm Beach Post agrees with the South Florida’s praise of Bess.

Wide receiver Davone Bess is back.

Not long ago, Bess was struggling to hold onto the ball and make plays, coughing it up to lead to scores by the Saints and the Jets.

The past couple of weeks, Bess has been the impact player he was in 2008 as an undrafted rookie.

A week ago, Bess made two big catches on the game-winning drive. Thursday against the Panthers, Bess was a one-man show on the Dolphins second touchdown.

He returned a short punt 22 yards to give Miami the ball on the Carolina 29. Bess then made a beautiful diving catch on 3rd-and-8 followed by a 9-yard gain on a screen pass to move Miami inside the 10.

Bess finished the game with a team-high six catches for 63 yards, the third straight week he’s led Miami in receiving. Among his team-high 46 catches, 27 have gone for first downs.

Good Morning and Happy Aloha Friday Tsaikos. Hope everyone has a good day.

new post is up

Great Morning my island brethren and breth-women!!

Hopefully those making the trip are ready for rain cuz…the bugga is coming today. Gameday should be nice though. You guys just couldn’t leave the rain in Hawaii ah? j/k

Woohoo…one more day!!!!!!!

I think Greg dropped more like 6 or 7 passes. Jovonte dropped the big one for an interception and opposing team TD. In fact, all of the receivers dropped at least one or two catchable passes.

Main thing is that we win, eh?

WoW. I am speechless
