Taylor mending
After fully recovering from a scary viral infection, what’s a little knee problem?
“It’s nothing major,” said wideout Jovonte Taylor, who underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a slightly torn meniscus.
Taylor, who was on crutches yesterday, said he should be able to resume workouts in three weeks.
Taylor withdrew from classes the past October when he suffered a viral infection.
“I lost 25 pounds, to be exact,” said Taylor, whose weight dropped to 153. “I thought I was dying, man. It was beyond scary. I laid in the bed for 3 1/2 weeks straight. I lost my appetite.”
He returned home to Los Angeles to recuperate.
He said he now weighs 180 pounds.
He also is hopeful of receiving a medical hardship that will allow him to extend his UH career through the 2010 season.

Alema Tachibana, who grayshirted, has joined the Warriors. Not sure why, but he reminds me of Karl Noa.
* * *
Miah Ostrowski, who still would make a good point guard for some team, and Ryan Henry strike a pose.

Defensive end Tua Mahaley is leading a team of UH athletes who will participate in the Relay for Life, an event to raise money for the American Cancer Society. If you wish to help, visit this site:

Also, our blog brother Jason has formed his own team to lead in the fight. You also may visit his site:

Happy birthday to the lovely Jeannie Lee, who came up with most of the catch-phrases that I use. She’s also the reason, I suspect, that Chawan Cut joined the Balloon Brigade.
first
wow twice in a week span, numero uno while Al snoozes on the other thread
ryan looks a bit smaller than Miah whom I know is on the small side….
where’s the report on the try outs? or pix
ralph you been lurking all this time.
actually, i was tending to the dogs.
Al still snoozing or eating saimin……
thank God for taylor’s recovery!
good to see miah o. he seemed to have been lost in the shuffle. hey, he’s a punahou boy. all right.
alema does look like karl noa in a way. the hair, built, the face kind of sort of.
okay, now i can go zzzzz out.
when javonte lost 30 lbs,he lost mostly water and muscle mass, so I hope he didn’t try to gain his weight back by gorging on carbos, if he did, he is all fat and water…
hmmmmm. saimin sounds good too. actually we do have some leftover fried saimin that #1 made with a little siracha sauce to kick it up a notch. and then there’s some miso/teriyaki drumsticks he also experimented with.
okay, its all yours ralphie. i need to see if the refrig is still working.
I hope tachibana and paipai are in shape, they have a good chance of establishing themselves this spring as potential first team to start the fall…
we need some speed on the edge, either or both from the DE and OLB
ralph…(parting shot)
jovonte is not a tsaiko so i am sure that he gained back muscle and water.
btw, do you like to be called rolph or ralph.
i think jovonte prefers that over javonte.
on the blob, everyone understands when there is a typo, the names and words are close to be able to understand whom or what is being written…otherwise, we would not understand bighilo or koakane at all.
you mean like in that movie, “the blob”.
i remember that show.
but, in bhf2 and kk’s case those aren’t typo’s das how dey talk and spell.
eh. no pilikea. i was only jokin’ around.
lights out.
click!
pomai and florida ted should be up and around…Wafan’s under his futon getting his last 40 winks before heading to school….i’m waiting for the HA online news, how come they are so late this morning…..
can you believe the CEO for merrill lynch spent 1.2 million decorating his office while the company asked for federal bailout monies and forcing the brokerage to be absorbed by B. of America….
U.S. to begin stem cell (embryonic) research in patients with spinal injuries…I hope Obama pushes for more stem cell research that was vetoed by Bush….
Ralph #17 agree but depends on where they get them!!!
11 more days to go!!!!!
i wuz sleepin and den i had dis funny feelin dat if i looked around i’d see Ralph an al stay makin fun ahmai proze an wit. 😀
I gave up a long time ago watching who is recruiting who and will just wait till da coach tells us who he wen git.
Keala Watson,
God Bless you, your lovely wife, your soon to be child, your brother, your friends, your teammates, everybody you care about and hold dear. Thanks for the great memories, Warrior!
AHHHH goin git heat wave today goin hit high of 47 today.
Pomai usually discarded umbilical cords, and I believe the difficult issue is the aborted fetuses…anti abortion rights advocates states that is not right and it encourages abortion, whereas, researchers are saying if the fetus is aborted, it has no chance in developing further and instead of disposing of the fetus, its stem cells could be a source for stem cell research…
Jovonte n Taylor
yo, Warrior. If Obama can, if Quentin can, you can! Good news on your continued recovery. Sometimes its a matter of luck. Best of luck and continue your achievements! We’re pulling for you!
Go Warriors
bhf2 dat kid goin be OK no matter what he does. Good luck Keala.
Ralph dats what I was sayin, gotta be careful dat it no cause moah of da kine.
Pomai the stem cell research is the breaking news for today on CNN, there will be ten test cases under the stem cell research guidelines passed under the Bush administration….Obama will probably extend the parameters now because the democrats tried but Bush vetoed
good morning Pomai.
ST
you hang around da coaches offices all da time an have developed your own vibe about things. maybe you can use a fake blog name and tell us watcha tink about where we headed. your choice of fake name wuud be a clue. like Opteemystic. RunFodaKailuaHills 😀
how about dalionsings!
yup dat would be a positive. i’m hoping ST will strike a positive chordial.
I am wondering if Coach Mack is going to pick an alpha male or a yes man. as long as da alpha male is from here and can meet uce2’s expectations and hold his own when da O coaches gettin one hair brained idea like running 3 runs inna row, and get da respect ah da Oline guyz an galz, das good for me too.
i like an alpha male dat is also a yes man for Hawaii. knows respect and protocol for da subtle stuffs when visiting people’s houses. but won’t take no $h*t from anybuddy. dats da bradda fo me!
somebody the Warriors can count on to inspire them not to fall on their duffs in the 4th quarter, so that the qb can feel if he can’t move the ball its his fault, not the oline. somebody who’ll lead the Warriors through the bad times. dats the coach i’m hoping Coach Mack will pick up.
maybe with the Matson cutbak, Pride will consider moonlighting? 😀
Ryan Henry!
howzit howzit! He was the one that said last year when we were worried about decommits, “put this down. I keep my word.” something like that.
I can’t remember his exact words, but I’m remembering having that really great feeling about him. something to do with honor…
Welcome Warrior!
still can’t get over how much focus Quentin Beaver has shown this past season. thats alot of weight to drop. true, he put on alot of weight. but to get down to 320. wow.
i wonder how much he can bench press now? but his looks. man o man, his tutuman would be proud!
bulla,
dat man musta had both hands in his pockets, with that kind of dedication. 😀
A cold and crisp morning everyone!
Looking forward to seeing the Princess’ videosof the try-outs.
Good thing it is Friday — I want to crawl back under my futon.
hiya Ralph.
yu going to the KK 2/7? hopefully i see yu dare! 😀
bhf2 . . .
How are you doing? Karang anyone with your paddle lately?
Wafan,
howzit. today is karang day! get to buss out da wipz an chainz.
akchally, da gang stay lookin pretty guud! 😀 day luv lookin in da mirror, see da opu shrinkin. wen i look at dem, all lookin da same, snappy, i jus like swell up, like a Tsaiko! 😆
ralph. back in a few.
Quentin Beaver inspires me to improve myself. if he can drop dat kine weight, I can.
anyway, he shudda entered in da big loser contest! even dough he lose that kine weight, da bugga still looks fit! maybe he eatin da same kine stuffs as doze guyz on tv, dan marino, don shula, mike golich 😀
remember last year when Alema said he was 85% sure he was going Utah? and he is here!
yeeee haaaaaaaaaawwww!
Great Morning All!
Glad to see Jovonte Taylor back from his viral infection.
Hope his recovery from surgery goes well.
Walk-on try-outs sounds like it’s getting more competitive every year. A good thing.
It is great to hear that Jovonte Taylor is recovered! I hope that he gets the extra year…he definitely has a medical case for the year.
Great to get a picture of Alema…he and Paipai have a good shot to contribute this season.
Nalani,
Glad to hear Pono did well and is now so anxious to prepare for next FB season. Vars, right? 🙂
Have a great day erryboddy!
HiHo….
dang!!!, if I had known Tsai was going to pull another early OT post, I wud have been ready to pounce for that #1 spot. sheeeesh!
pardon moi!!, good morning everyone and have a bustin goodday!! aloja!!
Good Morning Tsaikos!!
Was reading ST’s article this morning about the walk on tryouts and this line reminded me of a certain Tsaiko….
DPK??
It is crazy that Tennessee is spending $3.325 million on salaries for their 9 assistant coaches…this could really start to distort the salaries of assistants, which would benefit the big-budget schools and make it even harder for UH to hang on to assistants (like how UH lost Cav and Mac).
Their DC will earn $1.2 million per year (more than Mac!) with a $300k retention bonus added. Their DL coach will earn $650k.
Because their head coach makes “only” $2 mil, Tennessee is actually only 4th in the SEC for salaries when you count the whole coaching staff.
Tennessee will also have a graduate assistant who was Syracuse’s offensive coordinator and OL coach!
Nice summary of how each conference did against the spread (and in wins and losses) for their bowl games. 2007 and 2008 were not good years for the WAC–they went 2-7 in bowl games and were 3-6 against the spread.
Good Morning Tsaikos everywhere. 😀
unlimited wealth. must be nice. 😀
Aloha Kakahiaka!
Thanks for the article, ST.
um… Princess vids???
Ralph and al- thanks for the read and the laughs at the top!
Great news about Jovonte!
Sometimes internal illness is pooh-poohed by “tough” individuals and not dealt with before it takes hold and does great damage.
I was just reading about a model in Brazil who has septicimea and is losing body parts to surgery as they try to save her life.
Liz – look on the HA website and on the right side, they have the video
808Ike- howzit! Hey- come back and practice your typing sometime!
Where’s m-homey?
Thanks, Stretch.
ST- would be nice to link to to video from the article’s page – like the photos.
Just a suggestion… so others don’t have to wander around looking for hidden vids…
ok.
Time to go to work.
Have a GREAT day, erryone!
nice picks, ST
very nice article ST
ST
that was a really excellent article. gives me hope for the little guys and the second chancers.
was just talking about JOE NAPEAHI yesterday. talking about recruiting, about the disrespect shown summa da players back in the day. Talking about Sam Kela and Joe Napeahi’s dad, both promised schollies, and then on the last day Napeahi’s schollie didn’t materialize. so the word back home was no trust UH. his boy went to Kahuku and several years ago he didn’t even look at UH. thats what I heard yesterday in my work area.
and today, pfftttt, all that is past. Joe Napeahi is happy to be here at UH. with us. I cannot wait to go run down to the court building, buy a HA and give it to the deputy sheriff so he can swell like me, change the perception, change his head.
Perception, word on the street helps!
have a great day everybody. Mine has already started. 😀
Good Morning Tsaikos and TGIF! Hope everyone has a good day and a fun filled weekend.
ST nice article on the wannabes this morning. I hope Quentin makes the team. Looks like he worked really hard to lose weight. Nice to see that there are some really good athletes who want to be Warriors. Good luck to all of them.
Welcome back Jovonte.
ST who was the one who could not lift the 225 pound weight?
morning to all the tsai-ko kane’s and wahine’s. weather looking crappy so take a jacket or underbrella where ever you go.
some info to share; this sat at Hans HPU aluni game starts @ 2 free, lots of present/past local players, great community atmosphere and fun. if can can if no can still can yea
gotta run have a good one lattas esmeeeeeeeee whooshhhhh
that was another line that I thought of one of the Tsaikos… DPK??
Stretch
I was thinking that too.
ST when are you going to bust out the surprises??????
If I remember correctly there are 2??????
al mahalo for the videos of wadsworth and savala. savala is what we need for pass protection and i like wadsworth’s razzle dazzle running. i hope they sign with the warriors…
D1 – Pono is a freshmen this year, so could play either JV or Vars next year as a sophmore. But he will work hard in the off season and try out for Vars and see where it goes. He’s hoping to play DB or Free Safety.
Ronnie
See you at Ono Ono
Good morning everyone!
Good to see Jovonte Taylor back in school after a worrisome departure last semester!
I’m imagining that for a few of the students that tried out for the team yesterday it is an experience that can contribute to their myth. Years from now when their sitting around the campfire with their kids the father would be telling his children the story about the time he tried out for the Warrior football team…”In January of 2009….”.
“…The coaches ran a few tests on us…some 40’s, some 100’s, agilities and some weight lifting”..And pausing for effect, and looking into the eyes of his kids, “I was right up in there with the pack and in the thick of things”..
And his kids would be looking up in awe. And with admiration. And with respect.
This is good. And it’s absolutely true, not fictitious one bit. And his kids may someday further pass the story on to their kids, “Did you know that your grandfather tried out for the Warrior team”. And those kids will be looking up in awe, too”.
So can you see how the gains from these tryouts not only, now and then, produce a player that Coach Mack can use in the fall but gives the ones that aren’t that good some self satisfaction that they did their best in contributing to their team.And contributing to their own myth, which I think is great all around.
I got word that Iolani’s Kela Marciel will be taking an official visit this weekend to the University of Hawaii. This kid is a player! I hope UH offers him a scholarship.
roysan16- sweet!
Hauoli Lahanau, Jeannie Lee! Now my ST catch phrase myth is all bussup…
I mean, “Taylor mending”… how cute is that?
Actually, that is TOO funny. We have a Jeannie Lee here on Kauai who is an awesome seamstress and formal clothing expert!
Good morning Tsai-kos!
Wow a couple of days ago I was in the dumps. Depressed with all the decommits. Today, the news about Beavers, the amout of prospects who want to be Warriors, the return of Javonte, and the news about all the Warriors we have in the wings really makes my day. Can’t wait for the LOI day to get even more amped about the next season.
Good day to go have a few after work. Me thinks Ige’s beckon this evening!
Have a good one eerry body!
so if you had a choice of who to give a schollie to would you give one to Preston King or Kela Marciel?
there’s only been one decommit right I don’t remember anyone except for Makaula? McKay was never a commit so can’t be him is there anyone else that one of you can think of?
Ryan M on 1420 now
Hiya MLiz!
Sorry guys, I couldn’t do a rep @ 225, my 40 time…nada, fell down at 30 yards, agility? pffft, I’d rather drag around a beer cooler.
Something changed in the blog?
Why is there a caveat at the bottom of the comment box?
Congratulations to the Mililani girls JV soccer team for winning its 9th consecutive JV championship. I think it’s nine consecutive. Well anyway, they never lost a JV championship game.
ahhh, I see the blog is batching posts again. still haven’t worked the kinks out yet…
good morning tsaikos.
keala watson, thank you for contribution to warrior fb, get your degree in may, congratulations on an addition to your family, and best wishes to you and your family.
Has anybody heard the status of Iuta Tepa? Hope I spelled his name right. I surely hope we don’t have anymore that de-commit. That would suck!
Hi homey. The blog server was down the last half hour or so.
HI homey!
HI SteveM!
Loa? Where are you?
I had to look up meniscus.
I tried telling my two daughters a few stories about playing football at the University of Hawaii, they started snickering and laughing until they fell off of their chairs.
My oldest daughter says, “dad, there’s no way that you could block my friends Isaako, Samson, and Tala. They’re big and fast and you’re…well you’re fat and slow.” I had no rebuttal.
aaron rink….he the mysterious de that miano spoke of.
jc ball at scottsdale, az.
played mlb
some numbers a year ago:
Height: 6-3
Weight: 206
40-Yard Dash: 4.69
Short Shuttle: 4.23
Vertical Jump: 34.6″
probably has 2 for 2.
I’m glad to see Jonovan Santos trying out, he was an athlete at Mililani who did very well in football, track and I believe basketball…good speed and hands, should challenge for a wr position or slot…more conditioning and I’m sure he’ll run better than 4.6 in the tryouts…
Heh SteveM and jojo.
Pride. – I would tell my kids stories too. They would always say prove it. So I showed them I could double dutch.
Simply mind boggling the staff that Lane Kiffin and dad, Monte has assembled at Tennesse. From top to bottom this program has the look of an NFL staff–including their GA’s, who make $800 per month.
Overkill?
Not when it comes to top notch recruits who have NFL embeded in their minds and the promise this staff portends to enhance in their quest to play on Sundays.
It remains to be seen how this translates on the field for the VOLS in a very competitive SEC, yet the signal it sends to Manoa is clear in light of our OL struggles with penalties and sacks.
It will be interesting to see who ultimately comes on board and surely it would be unfair to compare it to an SEC enriched program, given the limited resources available to MAC–still, experience matters, especially on our OL.
Hi jojo — did notice we need need a few more dancers on 2/21? 🙂
That’s good pride., daughters should regard their gentle fathers that way. In reality you are bigger and stronger than before. I would not want to face you on a football field today–heck, I can’t even challenge you in singing… 😐
jon santos was indeed a very good athlete. didn’t he also play soccer at mililani?
are we in a time warp?
on the 12th day of recruiting, my true love sent to me, 12 reasons to enjoy the ride with coach mc and his staff.
warriorfanny…..can you imagine the pressure that will come if they don’t succeed at tennessee?
Stretch-
Like Pride sez, “I have no rebuttal”.
Further I would not profane the good name of Under Armour by either wearing or running in their clothes.
Traditionally, JUCO players are brought in to immediately replace, compliment or supplement positions on both sides of the ball due to ordinary attrition or gaps.
Last year 5 heralded JUCO receivers–Javonte Taylor, Ryan Henry, Craig Bell, Dustin Blount and Mike Tinoco, were recruited to challenge for playing time due to a wholesale loss of all 4 starters.
With the exception of Taylor, who used his redshirt year and was scheduled for PT, all redshirted.
Stockpiling?
Too green?
Dunno.
All I can say is 2008 was a year when we needed receivers to step forward and these JUCO recruits sat down and DNP.
2008 was MAC’s first year, but it did appear most JUCO players were redshirted.
Cant say if this is a policy, overestimation of talent or whatevers–but hopefully the JUCOs we sign this year can hit the ground running and contribute immediately.
We have huge gaps to fill left by graduation and attrition.
Great article on the walk-on tryouts, full of Tsaiko fuel. Rink looks great, Beaver should make the team, and I’ve always been real high on Santos.
Before we give out all the scholies, I’d consider holding back a few in case Manti has a change of heart, and to reward a few of the walk-ons that might emerge from spring ball as guys likely to see playing time.
Re post 100 and the JUCO receivers that redshirted, I don’t know that they would have made much of a difference, given that the qbs struggled, the line really struggled, and we did have some guys that knew the system pretty well, especially Washington and Bain, but also Mederios, Lane and Salas.
If I lived in Honolulu, I would have tried out too:
Ht:5’10”
Wt: 220 lbs
40: walking 13 seconds, can’t run anymore
bench: without weights -10 times
passing skills: able to fling TV remote across the room
agility: able to squeeze 36 inch waist into 34 inch pants
vertical: dizzy only when I get up too fast

Let me ask you a question AL–as a fan–which set of coaching circumstances would u prefer to see for the home team:
A list of NFL coaches with primetime credentials, or a motley crew of newbees that just set an NCAA record for sacks?
warriorfanny,
isn’t it good to be able to ask the tough questions because your identity is still a mtstery?
Glad to see Jovonte Taylor getting back into the mix!
The announcement of the $3.6 million per year that the Tennessee assistants (not counting the $2 mil for the head coach) could have been timed better…since Tennessee is currently letting their Academic side know about upcoming $4.4 million decrease in faculty salaries.
look ralphie i had a typo
mtstery
yummy…friend baloney w/black pepper and shoyu on top….
At least Tennessee’s Athletic Department gives money to the University to support academics, as most non-BCS schools (like UH) have to have the University give money to athletics instead of the other way around.
this time delay posting thing sucks
should read…FRIED
ESPN sounds like they took an dig at UH when discussing Notre Dame.
USC is currently filling out their future schedules…I wonder if JD will want them for another home-and-home deal or if UH’s new policy would rule out scheduling games against USC.
i guess Garret answered the question about who do you want, NFL or just good coaches. i think the sports minded tennessee alumni will bail out athletics, but losing excellent teachers is irreplacable and in this case, uh cannot afford these high priced (many times overpriced) coaches like tennessee and still maintain their academic integrity. if you want these high priced NFL coaches, then you better start thinking about contributing to Na Koa at least $5k a year for as long as those coaches remain on contract.
For those upset at the decommits that the Warriors had, *USC* just had a DB decommit.
did anyone see L.A. Ink last nite? natasha kai was on getting a tattoo on her back from Kat Von D…….pretty cool
From what I’ve heard, Tepa and Nobriga are down-to-the-wire guys with UH. That’s good in the case of Tepa, who appeared to be leaning toward going away. Not so good with Nobriga, who was supposed to be a lock until he started taking those trips.
On the other hand, that d-end who was at the tryouts yesterday looks like a beast. Plus, he’s got that mean side I haven’t seen since Matt Paul.
a prime example of what happens when you want high priced programs is Stanford. Now, they get uku money, but noticed they will need to cut back their athletic programs. if they have to make cuts, the rest of us need to watch the athletic spending and not get into a similar problem, although we are projected to be in the same problem on a smaller scale.
Thank you Stephen for the shout out up top about Relay for Life! I hope everyone reads my letter, and considers giving.
It sounds like Washington is going hard after USC’s recruits (many of whom probably were being recruited by those coaches for USC before the coaches left for Washington)…and U-Dub seems like they might get some of USC’s commits. That puts U-Dub getting Makaula in perspective…if they can steal recruits from USC, those coaches are really good at recruiting!
Tsai-
Great article on walk on try-outs. I can’t call them “wannabes” because there’s nothing “wannabe” about the efforts of Beaver and a few of the others. Jon Santos was a lot of fun to watch on the OC16 HS Football broadcasts a couple of year back, it’d be nice to see him make it. It’s hard to believe that Bryant Moniz is going be a walk-on, that guy was like the second coming in his LHS days. Good luck to Napeahi them too. Over all, it looks as though the Warriors will definitely be getting some help from some of those guys in the future.
ST,
It is good to know that UH still has a good shot with Tepa, because for awhile the situation looked worse than that. I agree about how the news about Nobriga is unfortunate.
XxFaithxX
i like a little sugar in my fried shoyu baloney.
bowl of hot rice.
fried egg over very easy.
diet tab soda.
three stooges on the tube.
old days.
and many will not understand that if Stanford cuts one women sports program, it will need to cut the men side too to meet the title IX requirements. again, title IX pops up and who will be cursed at??
As a fan for the home team, I would like to see wins.
Wasn’t Colt originally a walk on?
whitey,
One important thing to note is that Tennessee’s Athletic Department doesn’t need a bailout–they make a profit each year. They even donate millions of their profit to the Academic side to help out, and they will still be able to do that even after giving out these huge coaching contracts. On the other hand, UH Athletics gets money from the University, and will need more because what they get from the University isn’t enough to cover their current deficit.
The big difference is *not* the BCS bowl money. The big difference is getting all the revenue from their stadium and getting a HUGE TV deal…plus, the SEC has a new TV deal soon to start that gives them a huge raise in revenue. One home game means between $4 mil and $5 mil for them…crazy money!
Whitey,
I just have to shake my head whenever a program like a Stanford is citing “financial hardships”. EVERYONE is taking it on the chin nowadays, but some are getting “knocked out”.
I’m sorry, but if programs like a PAC 10 school wants to cite “financial hardships” they should have a good talk with Jim Donovan who has to deal with some SERIOUS issues over the next few months and years!!!
TEST
whitey,
If Stanford has to cut a sport, I’m guessing men’s volleyball is at or near the top of the list…and that directly affects UH because it endangers the NCAA status of men’s volleyball. I think Stanford would cut men’s volleyball before they would even think of cutting a women’s sport. Men’s volleyball loses a lot of money due to travel expenses and has very little fan or alumni support. I get all of the alumni newsletters and magazines and they rarely talk about men’s volleyball, though they really feature their women’s team.
giggles4sy
doesn’t she have enough tattoos already?
a tattoo here and there, subtly, for a woman is cool, but, not when its a road map over so much of the exposed areas.
are you related to gigi?
DPK,
Colt did walk on, but he didn’t have to go through a walk-on tryout.
None of my posts are showing up and the server is acting weird for me (timeout, website errors), so I will get back to work now. I finished a lot today so I have just 1 more thing to finish and then I’m done for the week!
a las vegas publication reported that it is a toss up in the nobriga household. probably a feb. 4th decision.
maybe, tepa’s loyalty to his good buddy gdl may prevail afterall.
To add to my post #129:
RE: Stanford Athletics taking budget cuts.
I have to justify my feelings by citing a quote the mob character Carmine Falcone in the movie “Batman Begins” when he converses with a young Bruce Wayne after Wayne confronts him about the murder of the man that killed Wayne’s parents:
“You think you know desperate kid? Just because your mommy and daddy got shot you think you know the ugly side of life. You’ve never tasted ‘desperate’. You’re the Prince of Gotham! You’d have to go a thousand miles to meet someone that didn’t know your name! So don’t come to me with this chip on your shoulder…”
Some UH walkons:
Colt Brennan
Ashley Lelie
Chad Owens
Travis LaBoy
Dan Kelly
West Keli‘ikipi
James Fenderson
Michael Brewster
Chad Mock
Britton Komine
Ian Sample
Ikaika Alama-Francis
David Farmer
Reagan Mauia
Lono Manners
Hyrum Peters
Amani Purcell
Mat McBriar
Jacob Espiau
Eddie Klaneski
dpk…that’s right. but, in his case, he was an invited walkon. i thought i heard that they wanted to make sure that he was the real deal since his name surfaced in the 11th hour.
the rest of course is history.
Garret, i can understand the current situation at tennessee, but there maybe a major problem if all the facilities (including athletic) belongs to ut and not to the athletic dept. imagine, if ut reached a major problem with academic financing, you think that their administration would not take more money from the athletic dept. i personally think that whatever contracts the athletic dept has is due to ut administration and there may be a day, when more money will move to academics from the athletic dept.
DPK:
I told Moniz I still had his highlight video that he passed out at the Kahuku camp several years ago. He said: That was a long time ago.

miano
OK, is there a delay on the posts?
yes, its been like this all morning.
i thought it was my coffee.
OK, I guess I have to have a talk with the techies.
Thanks for that list Tsai. It puts the walk on process into proper perspective. These guys are to be applauded for having the b*lls to chase their dreams.
No delays so far in my posts today.
maybe dave reardon is sabotaging the warrior beat.
Wow, that’s quite a list of walk-ons. You could even argue that those guys make a great all-star team of recent squads. They’d give a list of former scholarship players a run for their money.
Two of my favorite recent Warrior walk-ons are Guyton Galderia and Richard Torres.
The pic of Quentin Beaver looks like he could be Greg Alexander’s 325 lb. brother.
Whoosh….skreeeeek!
GOOD LUCK to David Veikune and Jake Ingram in the SENIOR BOWL!!!
skreeeeeek…… whoosh!
where the heck is everyone??
believe me Bryant Moniz and Jon Santos have not lost a step they both play in the flag football league I play in actually Jon & his brother were on my team last season talk about making guys look slow even Moniz was unreal juking everyone out making pic when he played safety.
al Re: shoyu sugar baloney
Never had it with sugar….shoyu & sugar was a staple with Vienna sausage in my parents house at times.. I used to grind choke of that when I was little,but as I got older…the taste was just not what I could agree with. Used to have it just sliced in half and pan fried…sandwich style too. I don’t know how people used to and still just eat V.S. out of the can….nasty…its like SPAM right out of the can hahaa.
# 146 ROFLMAO!! …..”No Comment”
glad to see walkons Joseph Napeahi, Aaron Rink and Quentin Beaver. These guys have a chance.
Jon Santos was good at Mililani, but I don;t see him pushing for PT at WR. Unless he was playing JC ball for the past 2 years. If he was just coaching and playing at the park, he needs Wes Keliikipi’s freak athleticism to push for PT. Should make the team and see sometime at ST though.
XxFaithxX
vs is nasty stuff no doubt. however, us poor surfers would pack a can of vs, a can of pork n bean, and one loaf bread. throw it in the trunk and have at it. talk about a hot meal.
stretch
i was taking a beauty nap when i heard you shouting.
any mtgs next week??
hungry?
Yup yup, when you get out of the h2o, anything goes. Some of my friends neva has much kala so when they went to the beach, they would just eat green mangos all day….just stay away from them in the water hahaa.
Pork and beans I can handle….pops used to always add slicked up hotdogs and if had, some more bacon.
my bad….
has = have
slicked = sliced
bah
So UH FB is looking for 3 more coaches?
Heard that one more position was posted today….in addition to the 2 previous ones….
Gerke left….
Malloe left…
And the 3rd? Lump retiring?
fuud?
Al — I got a pile of unused Camellia coupons I haven’t been able to use this month. But chinese is good too…
Speaking of sausage…bought a huge log of Goteborg sausage from Times, sliced a few pieces from the log and pan fried it. Filled in the concave slice with rice and furikaki…WINNAHZ!
thanks stephen!
jeannie was not the reason. although she helped along with bobbie o and her husband and others to blow up the balloons. thats what is also missing this year for basketball besides a pg, the balloons.
oh yeah, happy birthday jeannie!
chawan – do I still owe you money or did the statute of limitations kick in? 😆 see you at the kk.
no limits here.
Please please do not rain today….got all the goods to bust out the hibachi and do some yakiniku with the old lady…neighbor is acking like a biiatch, so going to smoke her out with the cooking heh.
Homey #162
Tahts my pops fav. Small kid time, when ever we used to visit oahu, my grand ma (pops mom) used to always send my pops home with a some. I used to fry um up crisp, get some mayo on some bread a make a sandwich…ONO!
camellia coupons?
stevem
to be honest, i never used them whenever we, tsaikos, big eaters that we are, patronized the joint. i figured that we eat sooo much more than the ordinary average joe, that i didn’t have the heart to then ask for a discount.
worst case scenario was to see them close their doors on us.
xx…..where are you blogging from?
letsgo….i think santos got a shot. he may be a year away from any serious pt, just to get back into football shape, coordination, etc. but, a freak
xx:
The third position is for graduate assistant. Happy Gilmore won’t be back.
Yes, UH now has to post for that, too.
#162 – dat is a staple on Kauai – goteborg musubi.
My next fave is chorizo musubi. Get da green can dry chorizo- slice very thin and into strips. Show them to a hot frying pan to release oils and stir constantly- remove before they burn.
Take roasted sheet nori or use the pre-cut rectangle pieces (not the long skinny ones ) like Shirakiku or the big blue packs from Costco. Put some cool rice on the nori, add a few pieces of the chorizo (a little goes a long way), sprinkle with furukake and roll into a cigar shape. Make a few dozen of these and take to the beach, hiking, camping, etc. ONO!
i think smash masch is definitely a warrior now.
al:
Currently, Makiki lol. In the near future, hopefully back on the Big Island….if not that, my old lady wants to move to the Great North West….specifically…DUCK Country, Eugene…..(At least they are NOT Beavers…haha..visited there two x-mas ago…pretty nice…I like Portland) Her family is there…older bro…parents re-locating from Europe this coming Feb.
Santos can also play defense.
lizk….of course i would add a dollop of best foods.
Thanks ST for the 4-1-1
#173 Concur al….his myspace page confirms that, per Sportsbow iirc.
xx….you need to join us for lunch.
send me an email
islandestate@hotmail.com
and my name is really “al”
al, i think santos only has 1 year of eiligibility remaining. but he did play JC football, so not that bad.
al- best foods goes with everything, eh? but for sitting in a backpack for hours before grinding, no can dat one.
LizK #172
Dat too lol. grandma used to always send one green can for us. Still one of if not the best sausage…its all about the oils.
BTW, you from kekaha right? You know the rabelis (I think thats how you spell it) family? “Cookie” is the dad….oldest daughter is Lehua..
Got family there too…my cousins…some of them…grad from Waimea 1993 and later…others went to Kauai high.
ok ok. nuff dropping names…gotta get ready to P/U fiance.
Latas all.
May as well make it universal and create the lup cheong (sp), toscino (sp), portuguese, italian, blood, and whatever else sausage you like, musubi.
here’s a link
of aaron rink.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzneQ4T_eE0
does he remind you of travis laboy?
I heard mayo keeps the food fresher longer. rumor has it that Egyptians used mayo to embalm the mummies.
al – he reminds me of Georgia in the Sugar Bowl.
Santos always struck me as a dangerous receiver. He has good hands and good moves for YAC. Reminds me a bit of Greg Salas. If he gets in shape and our line improves, he could be a real weapon.
Re 186, lol
where is everyone?
Hey Rob25,

#183… longanisa ?
#183 – they play against only one school with no o-line?
homey
good to have a de faster than your rb.
and, so that means i’ll live longer on best food’s.
SteveM – Interesting list you have there for the Genji kk.
MLiz – That’s the sausage I think even Rob25 will eat!
#192- DUH 😆
#191- wow, got caught up in memoryland! But, man, I have gained so much weight! Went from MLiz to XLiz!!!
al – when you break it down mayo is eggs and vegetable oil, which are good for you.
ST- time to give the blogserver a KICK! Good thing no mo contest today! 😈
did you know all sausages are made from those edible parts of the pig, cow, steer, and other known hoofed animals and the like.
those parts include cheeks, ears, organs, etc. what’s not edible anyway?
so the next time you order an mcdonald’s sausage mcmuffin perhaps you may want to go for the original egg mcmuffin.
Santos stays in shape plays soccer weekly so his footwork is still there. Might not be as fast as he was in hs but he does have some good size to him definetly faster than Salas though.
Yes, very interesting Genji KK list! Is Maryann(e) going too?
Thanks duffer!
Just some other crazy stunt the Cowboys are involved with. I long for my childhood when Tom Landry and Tex Schramm were in charge.
hey tsaikos, need some help
any good steak places you guyz advise here on oahu $45 – 50/person approx
Thanx in advance
8, 9, and 12 days more 🙂
so with one more ga position open, perhaps putting recent graduate keala watson in that slot where he can get his master’s could also serve to replace the departed ikaika malloe to work with the dtackles.
then, an oline coach could be recruited and at the same time give stutz his due with the other position.
some one like chris dalman would make a perfect fit….
he recently resigned from stanford where he was the oline/rb coach. former 49er olineman himself he has a nice resume.
i wonder???
jojo — I don’t know, I thought she might if Jason went, but Jason is a “maybe” and not listed. Keep an eye out for a conspicuously tall lady who has to turn sideways to walk through the door. 🙂

Was there football before Dallas was a team????
What will be needed for Hawaii to be a top 10 program every year in any sports they choose to be.
1) Money, money and more money. (Endowment funds 2 Billion+)
2) A travel time of 1 hour or less to the mainland. (Beam us up Scottie)
3) First class facility. (Da best 2nd to none)
As they say people make things happen and people with more money make more things happen. Ofcourse we know it may not be for the good of humanity at times. However give a good leader 3% on 2 billion which equates to 60 million a year, to manage an athletic program and that program will be reckoned with.
Time needed to reach the 2 billion is the first huge problem that needs to be overcome. A plan that may take 50 years to achieve. Most of us will be dead and gone by then. (Hey being a pessimist too long)
Life is a problem solving process and anyone who can solve the problem of financial backing for UH and create 2 billion overtime is the man or should I say the lady.
No money no honey and be satisfied and thankful for what we have to enjoy as spectators. Maybe one day we will truly hve our day in the sun. I will dream on. I know for one I’m not able to accomplish this feat.
So anybody know which walkons are going to be invited to spring camp?

I like al’s idea. Bring in Keala as the defensive GA, promote Stutz to WR coach, bring in Chris Dalman to help Smith and to coach OL. Then you have an offensive GA spot open, maybe David Farmer?

Many thanks to Kekoa for donating! At the very least, please check out the link to my page. If you can’t donate, at least spread the word! 🙂
FYI, my name now links to my RFL page, if that makes things easier for anybody.
?
Money is important, off course, but it certainly is not the end all and cure all. There are lots of programs with big money and very mediocre records in their big BCS leagues.
Realistically, there are only about 10 + programs in the whole nation who are consistently on top. Everybody has ups and downs. More than half of the BCS teams have worse overall records than UH.
What would we prefer? Mediocrity in a BCS League or being consistently 1 or 2 in the WAC?
I would be happy with a Boise like success for the Warriors.
Kazz: I think you’re an expert at breaking the blog. 😉
What happened to Liloa Nobriga being a lock? He just committed to Colorado.
Liloa Nobria committed to Colorado per Rivals. Kimo Makaula’s de-committment was probably a factor as they are good friends.
Jason: we’ll come by the RFL after the BB game. Make sure SSC announcers let fans know to come by. Go Warriors–Go Students ❗
sjmacro: I e-mailed Jim Donovan about that before. I’ll try to talk to Billy V about that sometime if possible, too, cause he usually MCs RFL too.

Good evening Tsai-kos!
Made it through a long day today. TGIF!!!
Liz – re: chorizo – you haven’t tasted chorizo till you’ve been to Spain. We went into a large store (think Super Wal-Mart) and there was literally a whole aisle of just chorizos!! I stood there for a long time trying to figure out which one to get. There was also a whole section of Serrano hams on the hoof. yummmmm.
jm$$$$ . . .
Serrano hams on the hoof = live piggies?
What happened to my comment?
BTW, thought I saw Coach Mack this afternoon at Mid-Pac, talking to his grandson at a bb game. Do his grandkids attend MPI?
wafan – that’s just how they make ’em. Then you need a special holder, so it can be sliced paper thin. Prices in Spain for a whole ham can go up to $200!
Actually I think the prices can go higher and I’ve seen prices on the internet from US merchants for over $300.
Where is everyone?
Anybody home? Hello?????????
I’m lurking. Shouldn’t you be helping John Thompson III stop the bleeding for Georgetown? 😉
jm$$$$$ . . .
How loud are the piggy’s when the paper thin slices are taken?
This delay before the comment is shown really sucks rocks. No wonder people are not here.
Did the HA hire HF to run their blogs?
Jason . . .
Please check your e-mail. Thanks.
I’m lurking. Comment post speed seems OK…
don’t know whats more of a train wreck, the way the wahine are playing or bolla’s hair cut.
I take that back…there is a delay now.
The bogware is acted slow in a new way–must be more “improvements”. 👿
Hmm. Somebody named Chawan Cut talking about another person’s haircut …
wafan: I replied back. And I’m with you, this waiting thing is junk.
Apparently, there’s a 200-second delay for posts because non-WB sites were targeted for spam today.
we were up by one and now down by 17.
check that. 20
i hope theres good news sunday night.
It’s more like 100 seconds, actually. But yeah, any wait is junk.
If they just made the blogs login-optional, like I suggested … Let those logged in post immediately; those without logins need to type in one of those words that appear in images.
c_c – sounds like typical wahine bb.
wafan – haha.
ST
how did Joe Napeahi look at yesterday’s tryouts? 6″3 1/2″ 340 lbs, is he carrying himself well when you think how he could be next season?
Pride,
yo bradda. send doze 2 girls ova heeah fo sum kraks terapy! 😀
i turned it to another train wreck, the nba’s clippers, although they’re actually winning, but its against the oklahoma city thunder. kevin durant just hit a 3. and he’s sporting phil handy’s one sleeve thing. i wonder if phil patented that look.
Jason…I just donated. Thanks for the your efforts!
I get da ansah! Preston King! bigger market share. 😀
Thanks Rob25! And thanks to wafan too!
so how many people at the bb game, sj, miki and chawan, who else…oh, saw JD, i’m glad he wasn’t smiling because this game is ugly and being down by 20 with almost as many turnovers as the Wahines have points…
And again, thanks to Stephen for posting the link, helping all this get started. It’s because of him that we have such a great ‘ohana here.
Seems like both UH teams have issues with passing…or is it just me?
Too many turnovers!
I hope that it isn’t the same problem tomorrow night for the men’s BB team.
At least they have cheerleaders and the pep band at the game!
And yet another turnover.
steh brok!
bighilo:
Joe looked a little, uh, thick.
But he’ll be OK.
He just needs to hang out with Quentin Beaver.
ST:
Good neighbor, interesting happenings at UH football.
Coaches leaving – McKnight says no way jose in moving back to Hawaii – players decommitting and staying on the mainland.
Any indication from Coach Mack when he will announce who is coming in to replace the departing coaches and GA?
Coach Mack still bringing in players for official visits! This can only indicate that several more “commits” will not be coming to Hawaii. Hope Sunday brings good news of the 6’7″ OL considering Hawaii. BTW, USF = University of South Florida?
Several “walk-on” looking good.
homey:
thanks for the tip that Times sells Goteberg – we love it!
used to get from Kauai.
game is finally over. 71-45. at least up next is k5 news at 9, in HD.
Oldie musical jingle:
Hallo everybody Hallo
Hallo is the shampoo that beautifies your hair
So Hallo everybody Hallo
H A L L O we really mean it
H A L L O.
Haha, I think I remember that jingle! (My Dad used to buy a lot of tapes with old-time radio shows.)
ST how did Fehoko and James Smith do at the tryouts???
i wonder when K5 will show games in HD as beautiful as Stephanie Lum.
oops did i say that out loud?
hey, the delay is gone.
nvm, its still there.
james smith is still in hs.
i dont think james smith was at the tryouts, hes still in high school.
A-House:
There are some interesting coaching candidates.
But nothing can happen until the application deadline passes.
CC:
I heard it’s a money thing with HD.
Too expensive.
knock off two on the list;
liloa nobriga
percy taumoelau
good luck boys.
very interesting……
while one of the asst coach job vacancy annoucements specifically is for an offensive line coach the other has no specific coaching duty noted.
the ga is also very broadly stated.
brok da blog.
Hey I just opened a bag of Nutter Butter Creme Patties and was eating some of the waffers when I noticed that it looks like something ate a hole in one of the lower layer. There are no holes in the packaging so it must have happened at the factory. i guess I am out for the night. got to go puke now.
This is turning into a very discouraging week….
Sounds good….
#289
whoa brah. must have been a lab rat when eat the hole.
labrat: IDK if I’d want to eat anything with peanut butter in it now. Just to be safe, you know.
So I left the TV on KGMB after watching NUMB3RS. Heard there’s an Ashley Nagaoka reporting there — that got my attention, not many Nagaokas here.
Jason I just washed it down with chocolate silk. But I am surprised that I am not sick. I ate that Ono Lau Lau last Friday. Damn can’t eat anything now a days.
One more reason why Mac’s focus on recruiting local players is so important…the Athletic Department will only have to pay in-state tuition for the scholarships instead of out-of-state tuition. That is a big cost difference for the Athletic Program!
😯 Yikes! Having a crush on a possible relative … would be worse than a C_C!?! 😯 🙄 😯
Texas Tech fans got some type of sticker shock when they were informed this week of the new season ticket prices. Season tickets that cost $220 with no donation required will now cost $330 with a required minimum $100 donation on top of that! That is an increase of 50% in price *and* a donation is required on top of that!
Fan reaction:
I saw Ashley Nagaoka’s report on the family in Mililani.
My immediate thought was…wow!…Jason eloped, how romantic.
Now that would be the real breaking news story of the new year.
Free play link time. Please ignore my next 5 posts if you do not want the off-topic stuff.
Pretty cool that the Aptera 2e is slated to come out in October! It gets the equivalent of 200 mpg and goes 100 miles between charges. It is an all-electric 3-wheel car, so I’m not sure how they calculated mpg. It will be classified a motorcycle and be only available in California.
I never realized that the CIA funded the publishing of the Russian version of Dr. Zhivago, which allowed the Nobel Prize committee to award the author, which was a big embarrassment to the USSR. A book needs to be published in its native language to be eligible for a Nobel Prize, but the USSR was obviously not going to let it be published there…so the CIA published its Russian edition in Holland.
The situation in Mexico is so bad now that the Marines are not allowed to go to Tijuana…we can send them to Iraq and Afghanistan but we won’t let them drive across the border!
The flying car is on the market also.
Poor stay-at-home Mom won a $20,000 in a scratch-off lottery…her friend volunteered to take the ticket to verify that it was a winner (even though the ticket itself tells you when you won!) and somehow claimed to have “lost” the ticket.
Free play links pau.
labrat turn the lights out, look in the mirror, are you glowing? salt from San Francisco Bay meant for the roads and swimming pools in your lau lau, take a blood test for mercury and lead
I had been prepared for Liloa nobriga, but I hadn’t prepared myself for the loss of Percy taumoelau also…like d1shima said, this hasn’t been a great week.
The positive spin on this is that this gives the coaches a few more scholarships to offer and they have some prominent recruits considering offers right now. The recruits visiting this weekend might also benefit from this news, as they might see opportunities to get scholarships and contribute.
wow bola going to be vonappen of basketball.
Sj and Myki you deserve a pat on the back for attending and staying to watch wbb….pathetic level of play and coaching……does Bolla have two or three years left on his extended bb contract.
hey Ralph at least I am not going to rust like the stadium.
wow mbb, wbb and mvb all in the tank this season..lose money….i hope the baseball team generate some interest to come close to black numbers at season’s end…
na na na na,
na na na na,
hey bolla,
goooooodbye.
A single day, an hour, a minute… is one too many! Go –> Bolla, GO! 😈 😯 😈
the irony of it all….
so one time resident liloa nobriga had committed to hawaii early on.
today, he announces he is decommitting and attending colorado where the guy who recruited him is one time local boy brian cabral.
the brothers lee, cal and ron were the primary recruiters of nobriga. cal lee was one of the former coaches of one brian cabral when he played for st. louis.
once again proving that life in the recruiting circles has no loyalties.
Just like a toothache. A constant dull throbbing pain. At best an annoyance. At its worst makes you want to shriek out in anguish and frustration.
The answer is a good dose of lidocaine, a sharp drill and skilled technicians and dentists to quickly excise and repair the caries.
Come on JD and Chancellor Hinshaw do a good of cleaning and fill the cavities carefully for the long term.
on the brighter side uh is loaded at lb.
who will start a bb revival and lead UH to better heights, Bolla or Nash? which coach will have a winning record at season’s end….
Yep no loyalties. I cringe everytime I see bolohead on the sidelines at a highschool game.
ralph
i believe we have a combined 17 gm losing streak between the 3 teams.
it’s best to just prevent a toothache. brush, floss, visit your dentist twice a year and you will not have to worry about decay. preventative maintenance or fixing potholes after every storm, what you gonna do?
20 if you add in the last 2 football games and the last wahine v-ball game.
isn’t that job security. they resurface the road then did it up and patch it so it ends up bumpy and looking like quilt.
job security, like the people who fix the blog software.
roads?
i was once told that if we used quality concrete the roads will last 20 years.
instead we use asphalt which barely lasts 7 years.
go figure.
Never understood the philosophy of just filling the potholes when the underlying structure is at fault. On top of that it seems like the fill material is not the best quality.
A cousin worked for the CCH. He claimed it would be too mcuh trouble to close the lanes one at a time to really repair the roads. So, the result is the 3rd world roads and higher auto repair bills.
I watched road crews working in Kansas City, MO, during the summer months. Two machines — first one tears up and recycles the road, the second lays down the new asphalt. About 50 yards between the two machines. The new road is put down one lane at a time in long stretches.
And, they work at night when there is less traffic.
the key to a good road whether concrete or asphalt is the ability to prevent water seepage into and beneath the surface of the concrete or asphalt. same thing, uh has to prevent seepage into their recruits and stop the recruit poaching.
well mack was hoping that recruiting would be done by this week. the recent turn of events, makaula and nobriga decommitting was untimely and not expected. stan mckay deciding on ucla, percy t. picking utah, etc.
but, hey all’s fair in love, war, and recruiting. at the same time we did “steal” david graves and destin stewart.
this weekend looms large as we try to regroup. getting galeai and tonga are key to a great recovery as we need the local talent to stay home as well as we need these two athletic safety types to build upon.
getting savala would also bolster the competition at oline and he would certainly upgrade our size.
Hiya!
Free will and volition are important in sports. And a little tricky in recruiting. Methinks UH will do well to appeal to the kids with good character and then focus on 1-team-manship. Show them how a unified team is greater than the sum of its parts.
All will come out winners and attract more quality students!
I tell my kids they have nothing but their word. If they wish to be respected their word must be gold. Some get it, some do not. I can only hope and pray for those who do not.
Time for bed.
I like the movie “A Good Year”. It touches (stomps) on that theme.
LOI day looming, this is the time when all the planning, preparation and the work of recruting and being recruited pays off. wishing us luck and good fortune.

1. Expect to have a great recruiting season.
2. Expect to be in a dogfight for recruits.
3. Expect that at sometime during the recruiting process, having a great recruiting season will appear to be impossible.
4. Expect to go down to the wire for a few recruits on NLI day, but for us to end up with the best recruiting class ever.
____________________________________________________________
‘Nuff said.
GO WARRIORS!!!
Howzit DPK
yup, i get great expectations 2!
Same here , braddah. 😉
My only question is how well will we end up in terms of strengthening the positions at which we need the most help at. Wut you tink, Mistah Hilo?
Wea you stay? Ruffin up da chikkins? Or you goin wait til later? 😆
Chris Dalman,
speak up,coach.
Let it be said, so let it be done. 😀
Okay. Dats one too many “ats” in sentence. Time for da moe pono. Aloha errybody.
well, i think that, if we be so lucky, we get one pro like dat. da bugga looks like a big roostah! all trimmed! and he’s an O guy. and to lead Stanford’s running attack to big numbers means he’s all about da second and third blocking assignments. and his stature makes it easy to sell his leadership to our present staff, mostly.
so if Chris Dalman is really gonna come, i say HALLELUJAH!
NO NO NO.
don’t go
ShaneDPK…. don’t go… 😀the position that we need the most help in is Leadership. That shows up in the 4th quarter. That shows up in the penalties. That shows up in the mental lapses. The O needs a O leader. an alpha O, not a alpha D.
check out the Chris Dalman look. dats an alpha.
i mean an alpha O mindset, not an alpha D mindset.
of course, we could just load up Ron’s gas tank with JP-5, change his complexion. 😀 get da kaaboom effek! 😀 get da EXPLOSION in da O
How did stutz 2 do at tryouts? anybody with info?
thank you.
i’m all for EXPLODING da O. 😎 to do dat we gotta get some big braddaz so da Florida Pouncey twin types, all 650# of them, no fall on our braddaz an smudda us to death. or rattle our cages in da 4th.
like how Utah handled ‘Bama in da 4th. they kepta going. thats what coach gotta do right now, keepa going.
ST
so braddah Joe looked tick, huh? den he must notta be da mean lookin bugga to whom you wuz referin. who wuz da mistah monstah of whom you spoke? 😀
frog,
you gotta know Stutz 2 is all good. just gotta wait for the practices to see him develop. his academics and enrollment now is all positive
Garrett,
one way we get Percy Taumoelau is for the church to send him on a mission to UH. 😀 day say he’s gonna be a Ute. lessee, we play BYU in a few. da disrespekin Utes, you no day talk smak about us, have done it before, i say.. well, i really no like say cuz i’m a christian. 😀
Mike Farrell wrote Oct 06 Sporting News that JJ was thinking about putting 2 of his 10 assistants on the mainland for recruiting purposes only. noted that hard for assistants to go to mainland on Thurs/Fri because we’re so far away, an inset on the map.
Tony Tuioti was great in Las Vegas. As he spends more time here and less time there, his interaction and influence there will likely diminish. among players, coaches, families, etc. gotta spend quality time during football season in the mainland recruit’s back yards, as a general rule. you can’t do that if you’re here in Hawaii coaching. thats why for me losing the big name local recruits is frustrating. its not their fault, and i can’t blame the local boyz for wanting to see the world, but to me they are letting us down. jmo.
and thats why i keep my opinions about da OSU guyz to myself. 👿
because…. war is war!
i used to work at st. louis. stutz 2 is a GREAT
sorry…
stutz2 is a GREAT KID. he always had a goal in mind. the big schools wanted him and he just wanted to be a warrior.
just like the bro, hawaii’s son. i like that about him
frog,
Why would Stutz2 need to participate in the walk-on tryouts? He’s already enrolled at UH on scholarship.

stuzz 2 sounds like a workout warrior–just like Devone Bess.
Great beginning.
Quote of the day (from another blog linked from my site) :
“Justice doesn’t always mean crafting perfect agreement. Sometimes it involves a healthy does of pragmatism.”
I think he meant “dose” .
Good morning Tsaikos
Ralph: sorry to burst the bubble (bb). 🙂 The bb game I was referring to is on March 7th the same day/evening as the Relay for Life. We have a personal interest in RFL and thank the students and athletes who participate in this important event. Stop by before or after the game. Lend your support in spirit or by donation to Jason or any of the student/athlete teams. This is a “yes we can” event that benefits our community. off the soap box……
btw can’t wait for spring practice to start…the only “b” sports I’m watching now is bobsledding, billiards & bullriding –great weekend to all ❗
Guud Morning Tsai-kos..
Decommits are disappointing news but then they may not have been
Warriors in da heart to begin with.
Stuzz is a Warrior. Some family ties like Kafentis (spelling) the Stuzman’s, da Noga family make for strong Warrior tradition. Hope we can get more of this going.
I know decommits open scholies up for others but what kind of players you getting if they neva get one offa first?
Usually u try offa da bestest one first yeah?
Talent is hard to judge from a tape. Even harder to measure da heart.
Das why da local boys da bestest. We know da heart dey get. We watch em play from baby time till high school.
Anyhoo, LOI right around the corner. Hope fo da best.
gotta go work now…
new post up
Stephen,
I can survive for now with just Stephanie in HD.
I thought Percy was never a commit he was just being recruited by UH? Good luck Liloa hope everythings works out at CU. Mack where’s the offer to Preston King? Hope UCLA doesn’t offer GDL…
Good Morning Tsaiko Cat Peeps!
On my way down to Tamashiro Market to see what the cats drug in da back door! Looks like a nice day to steam a nice big Uhu, scrape some O’io and enjoy my favorite raw fish on da side.
