In a week’s span, former UH assistant coach Phil Rauscher attended a ceremony at the White House and received a Super Bowl ring.

Rauscher was the Warriors’ tight ends coach in 2012 and 2013. Last year, he was hired as a coaching assistant with the Denver Broncos.


The Broncos were invited to the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl 50 victory.

“It was an unbelievable trip,” said Rauscher, a history buff. “We got there, and it was nothing but first class the whole way. It was awesome to meet the President.”

Earlier this week, the Broncos received their Super Bowl rings.

In two weeks, Rauscher will get another ring. He and his fiancee, Lacey Lavarias, a former executive assistant for the Warriors, will be married on June 29.


“We’re getting married in Alaska,” Rauscher said. “We’re going on a cruise, and getting married on a glacier. It’s a little different. It’s not exactly Hawaii, but it’ll be nice.”

    I have witnessed some with non conservative judges. But this judge is conservative.


  5. SC June 15, 2016 8:32 am

    She is a very good judge.

  10. SC June 15, 2016 9:23 am

    The late Honorable Harold Shintaku was controversial. God rest his soul.

    I suspect that there is a 50% chance.

    Howzit Tsaikos!

    Congrats to Coach Rauscher.

    SAT & SC – dang, you guys dredge up old memories. The Honorable Judge is a relative of mine. I was in college on the mainland when most of that stuff happened. BTW, did you know that his brother & nephew are the owners of Green Growers, producers of the award-winning hydroponic Hauula tomatoes?

    GO WARRIORS!
    GO WAHINE!

    Congratulations to Phil and local, Waialua VB player, Lacey on their upcoming wedding. With that kind of local connection, we might see Phil in one of the coaching positions somewhere in Hawaii, sometime in the future. Wishing only the best for them both.

    I guess when you have a glacier wedding, the icing is on the bottom of the cake.


  41. z June 15, 2016 2:06 pm

    I thought the glaciers were melting due to global warming?

    #18. Yes. I did. Did you see the Thompson school news. Prosecutor did not oppose the DAG by the defendants. I suspect in Kennedy’s case, prosecutor opposed the DAG since several incidents were consolidated.

    #22. I give my condolences to you and your family. Yes. I knew about the family business.

    Kolten playing CF at Memphis.
    “Reassigned by St. Louis on Thursday, Wong has not stopped hitting since returning to the Pacific Coast League. The 25-year-old from Hawaii is 10-for-24 (.417) with four homers, 11 RBIs and eight runs scored in six games with the Redbirds.”

    By the way, Legal Eagles, the prosecution intends to object to a deferral. But it cannot make its recommendation until the Aug. 24 sentencing hearing. I think the objection is a formality. It also serves as insurance if, say, the defendant re-offends. In the end, a deferral rests with the pre-sentencing assessment, probation officer’s recommendation and the Judge’s evaluation.

  56. SC June 15, 2016 8:03 pm

    Mr. Tsai. You are correct but ultimately the Honorable Kuriyama will make a decision despite the pre sentencing report.


  57. SC June 15, 2016 8:05 pm

    Yes. It also depends if Kennedy does not commit any more crimes.


  58. cappie the dog June 15, 2016 8:08 pm

    islandman-

    I watched Wong on MILB.com.

    You could see he was visibly angry.

    I could read his thoughts: JEDD GYORKO! JEDD GYORKO HAS MORE WORTH THAN ME?


  59. SC June 15, 2016 8:22 pm

    The Honorable Christine Kuriyama is part also part of the Kuriyama family and name.
