Temecula connection
The Temecula (Calif.) pipeline is still active.
When Brett Symonds of Chaparral HIgh reports to training camp Saturday, he becomes the third Temecula-raised kicker to play for the Warriors. He follows Eric Hannum and Dan “The Iceman” Kelly.
Symonds turned down scholarship offers from Weber State and Idaho State to enroll at UH as a walk-on. But he said welcomed the opportunity to serve as Kelly’s apprentice. Kelly is entering his senior season.
“And,” he said of his decision, “it’s Hawai‘i.”
Symonds is 5 feet 11 and 150. But he has kicked a 43-yarder in a game. During warm-ups, he has booted field goals of 55 yards off a 1-inch block and 57 off the ground.

This is the extremely large right hand of Keith “The Bear” AhSoon, who moves from left left tackle to left guard this season.
* * *
With the departure of Colt Brennan, John Estes is expected to assume a leadership role on offense. He will be the offense’s only third-year starter.
* * *
The best battle of camp will be at left tackle. The candidates are Aaron Kia, Ray Hisatake and Laupepa Letuli. Here’s Kia:
And here’s Hisatake:
* * *
One of the team’s nicest guys, Antwan “Tua” Mahaley, is ready to contend for playing time at defensive end this season.
* * *
Jennifer Carey, now an assistant volleyball coach at Georgia Tech, is in town on a visit. The Warriors will be working out at Georgia Tech in preparation for the Florida game. Former UH offensive coordinator Paul Johnson is Georgia Tech’s head football coach.
* * *
Legendary football coach Chuck Mills also visited the Warriors today.

Mei Ling took some wonderful pictures of the Arizona Cardinals’ camp. Here’s Travis LaBoy signing an autograph:
And that’s Satele (No. 67):
1st?
“Symonds is feet 11 and 150”
My guess is 5 feet…..Winner gets his autograph
Hiya!
Howcome we cannot comment on your Fresno BCS story????
Hmmm…AhSoon has nice hand for a guy in the trenches…his fingers still stay straight!!!
Congratulations Bosnoda!
Hi Liz! Any news on Colt this morning? I usually have to wait until I get home from work to check anything out.
I think you’re right with the 5’11 “, wouldn’t it be cool if it were 6’11” though?
Hi, ST! Did my pictures come through?
aloha from houston everyone!
Hi BG- new Colt pix are on my yesterday blog. He’s coming along.
Hey HoustonMike!
Great pics of players! Ah Soon has good life & money lines on his hand.
Hope the VB coach is having fun here!

Hi de ho, HoustonMike:
Local transplant or other connection to Warrior football?
Welcome!!

Chuck Mills – did a google, great notable quotes
Dat’s not a hand it’s a paw!
Good afternoon TSAIKOS…whew…busy busy, just stopping in to check things out during my lunch hour….Hope all is well with everyone.
Hey A-House…al….long time no see…
So ST, what’s the scoops on Kealoha as a guest blogger….I got some good inside sources who say that he will be a guest of yours soon…???
Hopefully, some leaders emerge soon on offense. So far, the defense seems to have good leadership in Leonard and Elimimian…
Did I hear we’re have an Iron Chef type cook-off??? I wanna be a taster too…..
al…well, can’t beat watching your car being stolen in the middle of the night as I ran down my stairs on the phone with police and carrying a baseball bat as I watched the car being driven away…..
Car found 3 days later on the slopes of Punchbowl….completely stripped…non-drivable, engine missing, no wheels, no doors…HPD tells me they have to tow it because it is a road hazard…so they do. I get called from the tow yard to pick up the vehicle. Not going to take it because there is nothing left so I junk it. Had to pay $150 for the towing, $100 for junking it, and other incidentals….ended up paying nearly $300 for having my car stolen….
Kazz, Jason,
an out-of-state incoming UH grad student has questions on SH about the UH student section in Aloha Stadium. i figure you two would be the best to answer him. if you could…thx.
Hi, Tsai-Meister,
Great pictures and info for us hungry masses.
The players look great and so does Jennifer.
Training camp should be a blast. I think there will be a lot of position battles going on. Depth, depth and more depth, most I’ve ever experienced.
LizK
Tanks for the pix of Colt on your blog. First thing that caught my eye… the wr is coming out of his break and hasn’t turned his head yet, but the ball has already left Colt’s hand! Great stuff!
dj..when did you graduate from DMHS again?? Just wondering because one of our Damien brothers was just killed in Afghanistan and wondering if you knew him….
gigi-hawaii said…
I think if Favre rejoins Green Bay, he can win a Super Bowl. But, he can’t if he joins a different team. Of course, it depends on whether he is conditioning himself during the summer. What’s he doing? Just watching TV?!
Remember, Jordan couldn’t win a national championship with the Wizards, but he did with the Bulls.
——————————————————————————————————–
homey ® said…
gigi – if, big if, Favre does so happen to play for the Packers again I bet he doesn’t win a Super Bowl.
——————————————————————————————————–
gigi-hawaii said…
OK, homey, you have your bet. Let’s make the prize LUNCH AT CAMELLIA.
This is the bet: I bet that if Favre joins Green Bay this year, he will win the Super Bowl in 2009. You bet he will not win it.
As you can plainly see, there is no mention of Favre being the starter.
BTW,
My daughters met some of the Tsaikos and the youngest commented that she thought they would look more moke. 😆
Whoa, James! You insurance no cover the stolen car expenses????
Next time, no drive one hot Civic den!
re: Iron Chef cook-of, I mean gas-off.
dangit, looks like i might be in WA for the first home game against Weber St. i could’ve tried out my dad’s ichiban portagee bean suup recipe too…
although hard for beat twin UHfan808’s dedication and love that she put into her awesome concoction.
Colt’s blog is updated:
http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=36944
Cruzin…From what part of the world are you blogging? If not in Hawaii, let SteveM know……MWHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHA
Liz…didn’t insure it because it was more of a beach car….it was a Honda..just used it to go fishing, diving, surfing, whatever..didn’t care about keeping it spotless…or rust…or whatever….like my other car. My thing was that I had to pay for the towing when the City said they had to tow my car because the crooks left it in an unsafe place…that sucked….
James,
Too bad about your vehicle. I get disgusted when I hear about thieves causing people trouble. So was it a Civic?
James,
C/O ’90. Remember I was a frosh when you were a senior
(J) J – Unfortunately, I’m in Hawaii so I will not be letting SteveM know.
dj..that’s right..dang senior moments….MWAHAHAHHAA
Curt…yeah, Civic…beach car….lol
Liz…I should clarify. I had the most minimal insurance allowable under state law…didn’t want to pay a lot for a beach car….
(j)j…….its okay, perhaps you can be a taster, too. but, we need to get the false pordagee out here so we can partake of his infamous false pordagee soup.
and what your eyes were closed all this time, that you can not see?
cruizin….good find. you even beat out jase and stevem. i knew that the lady was trying for squirm out of the bet. btw, you not homey’s daughter or son eh?
James,
I no believe this non-sense. 2nd Tsaiko-related car theft this month!
This is BS.
I hope everything is ok.
I could be homey’s better half but I am not as she is playing a video game on the other laptop.
al…I heard FP only makes beef stew and teri-chicken…but we haven’t heard from him in a while so maybe he is studying cooking…..
LizKauai [Believer]:
Thats our boy…. good post….
Welcome to Hawai’i, Brett Symonds.
At 5’11 and 150, dude must look super thin! Other than potentially Symonds, are there any other kickers waiting in the wing to replace Kelly? Can’t think of any off the top of my head.
Chawan,
Depends on what kind of “student section” questions…
I think Jason is the BEST person here to answer those questions. It’s been about 3 years since I was a student… and even that estimation could be off 😆 .
Kazz…no worries….just irritated that the City charged me for towing away vehicle that had to be towed because it was sitting on its frame and was determined to be a hazard…like I said, it was like paying for my car to be stolen…MWAHAHAHAHAHA
cruizin…..you are a mom?
btw, i think that was some time ago that (j)j’s car got ripped. he used to surf and dive. but, he did try to fish.
hi xs- 😉
http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=36944
“In the scrimmage, the defense was matched up really well with the plays we called, so I didn’t have a chance to throw a pass downfield and really have some fun. I had to keep checking off. But in the same sense, I guess that means I’m making good decisions.
As far as my decision-making and going to the right area with the ball, I think I did pretty well in the scrimmage.
I’ve had to go against our first-team defense a lot in practice. It can be a little daunting at times, but I try not to think about it when I’m out there. I have to assume that we have one of the best defenses in the NFL.
You look around our defense and you see some of our cornerbacks and our safeties and our linebackers, with London [Fletcher] and [Marcus] Washington–I just figure if I can get in there and at least have some type of success, that will make things a lot easier when the preseason rolls around. ”
…
“It’s cool to see the celebrity status of someone like Jason Taylor and what he brings to the team. It’s really neat when you get out to the practice field and you have Jason Taylor at defensive end, Clinton Portis as your running back and Santana Moss as your wide receiver. You kind of pinch yourself a couple times.”
cruzn…LMAO…how come your daughters thought I’d look more moke??? Didn’t I meet one at Ige’s for a pau hana once when you were being dropped off???
WassupDoc:
Called that number you left, but lady said no one there by your name.
Al, are you sober?
HI dee ho XLiz!
(j)j…..i don’t think she was referencing yourself as one on the non-mokes. mwahahahahaha.
ok, ok, sorry. i just couldn’t resist.
where is gg when you need someone to pick on?
(J) J – okay, you may qualify as the only Tsaiko moke she has meet so far. Uh, regarding Ige’s, I don’t think you meet anyone since it was not one of my progeny that dropped me off.
al…huh?? I look like a moke?? MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA gigi moment…
LizKauai [Believer]:
I think that because they are putting him up against the 1st defense alot is another good sign.. Zorn is going to give CB a real good look and I like what I hear so far…
Crime doesn’t pay…unless you own a tow company, or if you’re the criminal and don’t get caught, or…
the research on the bet was da clue…
So- in looking over the NFL websites for our x-Warriors, I’d say the Coltster has the best deal in town.
He’s with a coach who was an NFL QB, who sees his potential, appreciates his intentions, understands his “IT” factor and has the path laid out for a new offense to push this team ahead. Sounds familiar.
Plus, the team seems very warm and fuzzy (love Cooley- and he blogs!) with each other and with their fans – who are just as solid as a Tsai-ko.
Da odda guys’ teams (at least da Bears and da Lions) are waaaay different – at least from my POV. They are NFL Franchises with business to take care of.
GOOD LUCK x-WARRIORS!
Committed Lurker,
No worries, in time Mr. Symonds will learn about Rainbow Drive Inn.
Howzit Tsaikos!
Gotta jump in on a couple of subjects today. Den go lunch.
Re: Gigi’s bet — they both said “HE will win the Super Bowl”, which, while it does leave room for interpretation (no need the rest of the team?), would be pretty tough to do if he isn’t the starter, no?
Re: The PBS cookoff — sheez, you folks making me so ono for it, I might have to fly up from the Big Island just for that!! (oh yeah, the first home game of the season too…) I’ll have to try get a seat that’s upwind of the Weber St. bench and fumigate those buggahs during the game! Mwahahahaha!!!
Okay, I going eat. BBL.
back to the game plan….. that left tackle position has a boatload of talent to choose from. i kind of like all three of them. but, i think pepa will be the starter barring any oweees.
chawan_cut: I replied on Sports Hawai‘i.
Ah, so there’s the bet. I couldn’t find it for whatever reason last night.
Ranking the Pac-10 schedules gives UH some respect.
Kazz: Ha ha ha. True dat about Symonds. But then again, kickers no need to have size so as long as they can kick the ball with a modicum of distance and accuracy.
where is gg when you need someone to pick on?
——————————————————————————–
I’m here, al. 🙂
Unkanesson – You don’t need to be a starter to win a Super bowl or any game for that matter. You can come off of the bench to lead a comeback…
curveball – I think Zorn is building the team around a Colt-like QB. I think he envisions a WCO that will flit and fly like the Warriors in 2007. But with tight ends. The team needs to find the 6th sense quality that UH found last year.
Colt has been there – so even tho he’s a rookie, I think Zorn knows that it’s just a matter of practice before Colt is able to telegraph to his teammates and they get the message.
Ah, it’s all just football, right?
jason, kazz, thanks
Yeah, I scanned the blog back to June 17, 2008, and could not find the bet. Did ST delete it cause gambling is not allowed?
Now, I wonder if Brett will rejoin the team at all if Rodgers is gonna start.
Hubby is sad that GB is being so mean to such a great QB.
The “bet” is located where Xliz created a site for many to continue dialogue in the tradition of the WB.
Article discussing if a non-BCS conference player can win the Heisman.
It’s been a blast but I gotta esme.
See you all later as my true self on Wednesday.
This writer is apparently going to campaign for BYU’s QB to win the Heisman this season.
Florida is #1…party school in the US. BYU is #1 for stone-cold sober schools.
Cruzn…I thought she came in to get you…or was it your son that did?
LizKauai [Believer]:
I 100% agree…To me this is going to be one of the most interesting situations no watch this year…..
no=to
Cinci is a BCS conference school and they *really* do not sell many season tickets. Next time someone complains about UH’s attendance and season-ticket sales, this info would be good to keep in mind.
Article on the sports bloggers in Utah.
Hey cruzin, if yo keeds like see one moke, tell ’em go by dea faddah! 😆
Committed Lurker,
No worries, in time Mr. Symonds will learn about Rainbow Drive Inn.
hahahahaha….good one. i miss the food in hawaii, especially rainbows
Haven’t posted for a while, but an incident occurred last friday in which a Terrence Duffield was invovled in a fight. Apparently he was flashing a WAC Championship ring around saying he was a coach. He’s not listed on the current coach’s roster. Anyone heard of him?
I didn’t see this mentioned here yet, but the new replay rules should be interesting.
“Party Schools” pfffftttt…
I ain’t no party animal nor am I a “book worm” but I always scoffed at those institutions that have that kind of reputation.
Which is why I wasn’t surprised to learn that a friend of a friend is transferring from UCLA to UH after she found the Manoa Campus “like a breath of fresh air”.
She went on to say that she could finally get some work done without all the distractions.
Ack, I didn’t think to check the temp blog.
CK8,
Duffield was a graduate assistant coach last season.
me pick on the kid?
i like fish, especially those who live in a swamp. so kid, what’s biting lately????
More on the Favre situation.
The SI reporter likes Washington’s current starting QB.
ST ~ Good job at cropping the pic! I liked that one of Hercules.
Last one before I get back to work. Mark Cuban may be the leading candidate to buy the Cubs…
LizKauai [Believer]:
Did you like this……..
Todd Collins did not look crisp, and Jim Zorn seemed to be protecting him a bit in his comments to us. He went to great lengths to talk about the fact that Todd was working with the second team and facing the first-team defense, and Zorn even blamed himself for screwing up the call on a motion.
But still, Collins’s body language alone conveyed frustration and, while it’s still very early, it’s also worth pointing out that he clearly is going through some learning pains in this offense after 10 years with Al Saunders. Collins has done things one way for a very long time, and Zorn is definitely an unorthodox guy who comes up with unique drills and takes on things; that dynamic is worth watching.
ST,
Thank you for the Brett Symonds update. We were discussing him in the blog a week or so ago when Pauoa Boy asked a question, and it is good to have the latest info on him.
Great photos as always! I hope that Letuli is healthy so that he can fully battle for the starting spot. That will add depth and make sure that the starter will be the best possible option for UH, as the competition will raise everyone’s games.
Thank you also for the Jennifer Carey update. I watched her play many times, including in San Jose and at the WAC tournaments.
Jason…I know we’ve talked about it on the blog before…but this question was brought up again this weekend….Why do you think UH students don’t attend games like they used to back in the 80s and the early 90s???
This question goes out to all for their opinion as well….
CK8 – Welcome back! Long time no see.
gigi..IMHO, the Packers aren’t being mean to Favre. He moved on and the team needs to move on. Favre is basically holding the team and players hostage. He retired and the team prepared with their new personnel (aka Aaron Rodgers). For Favre to come back now and say he wants to be the starter is really unfair to everyone involved. Again, that’s just my opinion.
MeiLing- great shots!
Garret and curveball- Matt Terl was able to get that SI writer to chat with him on his blog… but I found this comment by a poster even more interesting.

Pike, on July 25th, 2008 at 8:37 pm Said:
Matt – Good job with the most informed NFL insider 🙂
Peter King is way too smart and devious – he fully understands the detrimental impact of his positive words (i.e. Rex Grossman). Don’t be fooled – he clearly despises the Redskins. In fact he hates the Skins so much he is trying to put what is known as a “Bell Curse” on Jason Campbell.
Bell Curse – In January 2007 the Detroit Lions acquired Tatum Bell following two 1,000+ combined yard seasons in Denver. A third 1,000 yard season was a virtual ‘lock’ and with new offensive coordinator Mike Martz calling the plays – Bell was certain to make it to Honolulu. In August 2007, Peter “Kiss of Death” King proclaims “I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t gain 1,400 yards and score eight TDs in Detroit”. Tatum Bell amassed 182 rushing yards in the first five games before he was benched for the remainder of the season. The only reasonable explanation for the failure of Bell’s 2007-08 campaign was Peter King’s preseason prediction. King’s prediction became known as the “Bell Curse”.
Please feel free to add the term “Bell Curse” to Wikipedia (the most accurate source of information on the web unless of course you include Peter King’s postcards from camp).
The next time you get a chance to talk to Peter King maybe you could ask him what he likes about Tony Romo – I figure his answer would be worth 2 wins for the Skins.”

re: UH Manoa Student Feedback
I was always in favor of getting a few students together for a “survey/open forum” to discuss issues and problems they may have.
Dare I say, putting a group of students in charge of getting the student body together with the administrative backing from the athletic department.
They would need to survey and talk to everyone. From the most-apathetic to the most-dedicated.
Kazz,
some of my friends started the Manoa Maniacs and even made the “logo”. they tried to keep it student run and organized, and did have some tailgates, etc, but once they graduated it was hard to turn over to others and thats when UH took over.
Whitey’s fish report can be summed in one word…NADA!
It seems Mr A-House caught all of the fish. Only thing saving them are the crabs…..
Farve is in a bad situation. Green Bay owes Brett $12 million if he were to play this year. Officially, Brett turned in his retirement papers to the NFL. And now his changes his mind and places Green Bay in a jam.
To make a long story short, Brett should have not retired and not turned in his papers. Not to sure what transpired between GB and Brett. And many sports shows are saying, “Green Bay does not want to pay Brett $12 million this year. Period.”
Green Bay has made a business decision and is moving forward with the 2008 season.
Brett Farve is looking kinda bad now days.
chawan, Kazz, Jason…
I remember being a student and you didn’t have to do much to get students energized and excited about football…it was the thing to do. Students had really good seats (right near the band) around the 30 – 50 yard line on the Mauka side of the stadium…they were moved to make room for premium paying football fans…
I also have thought that Ka Leo, or someone…maybe the Tizer…should do a survey of UH students to figure out why support among the students is sooooo lackluster and why there is such apathy among the student body…I’m just as curious as everyone else. Is it because of the internet age and more things to do? no interest in sports? no freedom of alcohol consumption? It seems strange that there would be that much of a dropoff….
Brett Favre needs to stop the Viagra and stay retired…
I agree he is holding the Green Bay Packers down and they need to move on without him. He isn’t going to do anything special anyway and definitely will not win a Superbowl!
Mei Ling,
Thanks for the pictures of our former Warriors in the Cardinal’s camp. I really do hope that the picture of Hercules was a one time thing. In your picture he is off balance, out of position, and utilizing very poor technique. Hopefully he’s using better technique and showing better balance and leverage than what he’s showing in the picture. It sometimes takes awhile to get used to the speed in the NFL. Gotta hurry thouigh because the game gets faster and faster. There’s three different speeds in the NFL. Pre-season, season, and post-season speed. Speed gets ramped up at each stage.
re: UH students and sports events
took advantage of UH’s 1 year exchange program and went to WSU in pullman in 2000, Gesser’s soph year IIRC. they were horrid, even lost to cross town rival Idaho b4 they joined da wac. i think WSU won maybe 3 or 4 that year, but martin stadium was still 70-80% filled with at least 3/4 of those being stduents. iwas taken aback how different it was from aloha stadium. came back to UH and wanted to do my market research paper on this situation even though it’s 2 kind of different scenarios, but da prof told me try a different subject buddy, oh wells thought it’d be an interesting topic. never know i guess
4got to mentino 2 different scenarios cuz pullman so college townish 🙂
Incentives, incentives, incentives….
I think this is what it will have to come to for those already NOT interested in the game day experience.
It was a simpler time back in the day. Now there are so many other things to do on the weekends.
More things to compete with UH events.
But it all MUST start within.
I suggested to charge a fee to join the Maniacs for 90.00-150.00. With that students will get:
-Free Manoa Maniacs tee and a hoodie (two types of Manoa Maniac Merch i.e. more options)
-Complete access to ALL UH sporting events for the Fall and Spring seasons for that period . (i.e. your membership fee will get you access for Fall 08 and Spring 09 sports and you need to buy one again for Fall 09 and Spring 10)
-Coupon book with discounts from current UH sponsors (i.e. Jack in the Box, Papa John’s, 7-11, etc…)
-Coordinate “Movie Nights” for Manoa Maniacs ONLY with discounted movie tickets.
The BIG problem I see is how it could further alienate those that can’t afford the cost to join. So perhaps they could add on different levels of membership. Something akin to Na Koa… More you pay the more you get, but the basic free access and merchandise should be the base for all levels.
The “grassroots” campaign can be done on a smaller and cheaper scale but nowadays it’s hard to get anyone’s attention without the promise of INCENTIVES.
Problem is, what kind of incentives can the department afford to give without suffering anymore financial losses? That is where the corporate sponsors will show their “true colors”.
for all you madden 2009 gamers, davone bess won’t be in the game…

The UH Athletic Department needs to hire a good public relations specialist to put all their energy in reeling in the students.
Is Tila Tequila all booked up? 😆
duffer…..got it. you on it bro.
whitey….caught crabs? yikes! so did the twins!
pride(.)……..i thought he was on defense.
wsu charged $75 for 1 year and the only thing you got was attendance to all sporting events, no other “perks”. this was mandatory, includedin studen fees or something. they’re probably still doing it now i assume, even though the economy is much different. you couldn’t do that here and it’s been proposed many times over, too many people would complain. tough to over come here, i guess
oops….time to go cook rice.
BTW,
I think the “vonAppen”-excuse as to why people don’t attend UH home football games has already expired a long time ago.
For cryin out loud we are ranked #24th in the NATION in terms of winning percentage overall!!!!
ahh..the vonAppen days…
still remember when UH would punt on 4th & 1 on the opponents 40 yard line, with 2 minutes left and losing 20-14.
Kazz… not to mention REIGNING WAC CHAMPS!!!
hiho
LizK, I’m gonna add more pics to my Facebook album. But right now, I have to go watch the DBacks game.
Pride. ~ That pic of Hercules is after he came up from center & started blocking. Don’t know what he’s supposed to be doing, but it’s an action pic of him. I have some pics of Herc playing center & standing on the side waiting for his squads turn.
I have to edit some pics & put them on Facebook. But beesbol calls…
BTW, this is a prescient blog… I had chili & rice for dinner tonight.
Not sure if this was posted or not but here it goes anyway…

Pullman has the most convenient on campus stadium in the west IMHO and it is the only game in town
Hawaii needs to study UCLA whose students have quite a trek to attend home games. Also Colorado State students have to go a bit.
San Diego State also has no success in getting students, Do they Bus are car pool?
UCLA has “name value”. Like a product, UCLA is house-hold name. They can sell kaka on a stick and label it as “Basketball Season Tickets” and people will buy them. 😆
Name value obviously came with winning. But, you can’t win all the time and unfortunately you lose a few here in Hawaii and the team gets black-balled for a LONG time until the next available seat on the bandwagon opens up.
GARRET:
Back around Christmas you had offered to carry over Taiko DVDs from a place in California – its shipping price was $40! But they ship free to the continental US.
I pointed out to them that the shipping rate from their place to the East Coast US was the same rate from their place in CA to Hawaii. No answer.
Even on eBay, a lot of sellers won’t ship (even with the postal service) to Hawaii! Grrrrr….
Can’t remember if I mentioned this before BUT…
If one is looking for Colt Brennan Redskins Jerseys:
http://www.prideofhawaiisports.com
They got both the away and home colors. Name plate and numbers are embroidered on and not the cheap/over-priced screen print.
They are legit. I bought my Colt Brennan helmets from this website.
L’ll admit I couldn’t recall the name Chuck Mills but a guugu search yielded a very interesting coaching legacy out of Utah St.
Some great quotes, too.
Brett Symonds – walking on an already has the kicker position locked down huh? Unless someone else I dunno about is going to be kicking too? What happen to Briton Forester or that Kenji Hollaway cat? Is Brett the only kicker coming in next year? I know it may not be a position of concern but I would think bringing in a kicker plus this walk on would be wise unless Symonds is that good?
L’ll=I’ll 😳
tom mui – I dunno what the deal is with the prejudice with Hawaii shipping. I buy a lot from Amazon because they offer free shipping.
One of the big deals is retailers like to get stuff picked up -therefore, a small , light $10 item what would cost $1.00 to mail USPS first class end up UPS or FedEx for $20.
Amazon is using a company called parcelpool that does their own transport and then uses the USPS for delivery. It’s interesting…
Kazz- the Colt jerseys are the Reeboks, yeah. Ok for me – but different from the ones they sell on NFL.com.
shhh…. Kenny Estes can kick too…
Liz,
Oh I meant that the company “Pride of Hawaii Sports” is legit.
But yeah I don’t understand why they don’t ship to Hawaii.
If I can get a fully sharpened katana and several large cans of mace shipped to Hawaii from the mainland, I’m sure sending FABRIC overseas won’t pose a threat 🙄 .
I believe Kenji Hollaway transfered. BTW, was he the other kicker we had at the beginning of the 2007 season? I thought that other kid was a punter. Kinda hefty looking guy right?
As for Briton Forrester… he had some issues. Issues like wen you play NCAA Footbal in the Dynasty Mode and then that screen pops up on your schedule and you have to start wondering how many disciplinary points you can spare before you run out…
Yeah those kine issues.
Just to keep things in perspective (Hawaii fans supporting Colt are getting slammed in some quarters for him not looking like ze wunderkind his first week of practice) – let’s see how “walk on water” $$$ Henne $$$ is doing at practice:
“John Beck threw three interceptions, including two on consecutive passes. Chad Henne had one interception. Before the end of the practice, all the defensive backs seemed to be smelling blood and they were all jumping routes.
Henne and running back Ronnie Brown didn’t get synched up on a handoff and a fumble ensued.”
“McCown is the starter of the moment. Henne will get plenty of time to show what he can do.”
❓ ❓ ❓
This article is interesting tho- and applies to us as well.

Why UH students do not attend football games. The age old question.
-gotta work on game day. gotta pay tuition or career in unskilled labor.
-students no sit on the 50 yard line, like back in the day
-rather go to the clubs and be out there
– gotta be 21 to buy beer. back in the day only need to be 18.
-parking sucks. and it may become worse, if nobody wants to pay the premium
(that is a concern to me – because the mrs and me park in the upper Halawa lot
where no need pay extra. And is a straight shot to the south end zone)
-add your reason, cause I’m a bit stumped why else.
Hi Liz
You must appreciate the Tsaiko Ohana even more after spending time on the Redskin board. Unlike the Tsaikos, most boards have people who want to say a lot and don’t hear anything said back…with just an occasional exception. People who fancy themselves smarter and more insightful than a professional staff of coaches. They’re such a complete waste of time. EXCEPT, by diligently searching through a lot of muck, one can find a few gems of factual information and pictures by some hardy souls who endear themselves to the rest of the community with their selfless service. I’ll be looking forward to seeing Colt in Sunday’s game.
Koauka – this topic was discussed recently and my thoughts on why the students do not attend the games, like when I was in school in the mid 90’s, is alcohol, plain and simple.
We were able to bring in full bags (of beer) into the stadium and drink all game long. Now, there is no possible way to bring in anything into the stadium, especially beer. Most students are not 21 so can’t buy beer in the stadium, and even if they are old enough, it is too expensive for them. Students would rather go to a friends house and watch the game on PPV where they can eat and drink all they want.
I am not saying we have to allow underage drinking but I honestly think that is the problem.
If the stadium was to go dry, as was discussed a few years back, the overall attendance will go down, guarantee.
Time to go through the Miami papers to find some Warrior updates!
This is a different Miami paper now.
This is from this reporter’s live blog of practice.
Reagan’s competition has done well with receiving out of the backfield.
I think one of the reasons not as many students attend football games is the accessibility of the stadium. I remember wanting to go to the games, but sometimes I just didn’t want to fight that traffic and then look for parking in the Halawa housing area. I’d have to walk quite aways and most of the time in the rain. I guess you could call me a fair weather fan. I remember when I was at Stanford, one of the biggest game of the year was the one against Cal-“The Big Game”. I decided on that day to go and I’d just walk from the dorms. And I’d get great seats even on short notice…cheap… as a student. Didn’t have to fight traffice; didn’t have to walk far. If the stadium was on campus like most big universities, I think it would be a different story. But the fact is, we don’t and we just have to find a way around it.
Stretch,
you are a geeneeus. u r korekt, its da booze fakta, da drinkin an drivin. an i no like encourage drinkin an drivin, a bad habit no mattah wat.
Students have free bus rides available to the stadium from campus and drops them off right at the stadium inner circle parking.
I don’t think that students have to pay any premium seat fees and can get cheaper seats in the student section.
Hoohiki,
I agree, attending football games is VERY different for students when the stadium is on campus. I dormed at Texas and my dorm had over 3000 students (largest coed dorm in the country). We were only a few blocks from the stadium and the student turnout for the games was extremely high, with pretty much everyone I knew at my dorm going of course. And this was even during the down seasons (the head football coaches at Texas got fired soon after both times I graduated from there).
No driving hassle, no parking hassle, no tailgating problems, etc., really makes a difference. Stanford pretty much never sold out their stadium (aside from the Cal game) during the period I went to games, but lots of students would walk from the dorms to the stadium on game day.
I doubt having a stadium on campus would significantly boost student attendance. Don’t forget, UH is a commuter school and most students live off-campus.
Texas’ QB went on a mission in the Amazon and enjoyed working with children and being anonymous…until he was recognized on the last day of his Christian camp activities.
Another controversy around Wie.
And only the diehard students tailgate, where they can drink as much as they want. (Underage, if need be. I was surprised to see two friends drink as much as they did.)
My freshman year, another group in one of my classes did a research project comparing UH and UW football. (I know I’ve mentioned this before.) They concluded that there were several factors, in particular the need to work and the availability of alternative entertainment in areas closer to town. There was more, but I honestly get tired of it all.
I e-mailed JD about it before and I’ve mentioned it here numerous times — my best idea is to expand on the Mānoa Maniacs. I’m not sure if better seats is an option, but UH has to partner up with local businesses in town and the UH area and give students incentive to go to games. If they implement a mandatory athletics fee, I think more people will go to games, particularly if it’s a smaller fee (say, $25/semester). Then let students 1) purchase and 2) earn additional benefits.
(1) If $25/semester gets you free admission to all sports on a first come, first serve basis, maybe an additional $25/semester gets you guaranteed seating, and maybe an additional $25/semester on top of that gets you premier guaranteed seating. If UH asked me for $75 or even $100/semester in exchange for the best available student seats, I’d pay. After all, I’m already paying $30 for football and $59 for basketball.
(2) Get local businesses involved in giving discounts to students who go to games. On campus, we have the UH Bookstore, Starbucks/Jamba Juice, Taco Bell/Pizza Hut, Subway, Yummy’s, India Café, Chow Mein Express. And in the UH area alone, there is Yogurtland, Burger King, Star Market, Curry House, FedEx/Kinko’s, 7-11, all those Puck’s Alley businesses, the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai‘i, Jiffy Lube. McCully Shopping Center and Ala Moana Shopping Center are short drives/bus rides away, and Mānoa Marketplace is accessible through the shuttle. With the popularity of UH athletics right now, giving UH students discounts is a great way to not only support athletics, but they also get great publicity and traffic during a rough economic period.
A quick Google search showed me that Florida State and Hampton have student booster systems. Attend so many sporting functions, and you get benefits like discounts, preferred seating, and participation at athletic functions like banquets, facility tours and meet-and-greets with coaches. Imagine taking this and building it into something that is the envy of other schools. UH can pioneer a community-based network in order to benefit its student patrons.
Mei Ling,
I’m sure all of our guys are doing very well. Thanks so much for the pictures.
How many students attend the basketball, volleyball, and baseball games when they are on campus?? There are some but not much
I used to agree with those who advocated an on-campus stadium, even though the traffic would be a nightmare. But then I realized — the Stan Sheriff Center is on campus. Les Murakami Stadium is on campus. Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium is on campus. Yeah, those venues don’t host football, but they aren’t exactly full of students either.
And in 2005, when the team went 5-7, the student sections were maybe 30-45% full. Even in the beginning of 2006, it wasn’t that packed. Only as the Purdue and Oregon State games came, and the team went undefeated in 2007 did I see the sections really fill up.
Unless the teams win, students won’t necessarily come. So not only do we need to support winning teams, but we also need to give them additional reasons to go to the games. Real things that they really want, cause they can easily have fun at other ventures like clubs, the beach, stuff like that.
Pride. – i seen your earlier comment about his positioning in Herc’s picture and that was my first thought, that doesn’t look good at all. It reminded me of the UH tackles against the Georgia DE’s as they ran right around the corner.
Looks like a rule change could allow *both* USC and UCLA to wear their home jerseys when they play each other next year.
students at games……
first, football has not had a history of success and tradition. nothing consistent or long running. up to now. a few more years of this and the tradition shall slowly be implanted.
second, UH is a commuter campus. with so few dorms on campus the students come to class and split. thus, no sense of belonging, no true college town, usa feeling. there is also a lack of student activity that bonds the students with the unversity and this is predicated by the lack of dorms on campus. its a catch-22 situation no doubt.
third, as mentioned on campus stadium. but, does it really matter. see first and second.
fourth, a great number of foreign students who don’t even know what a football looks like.
we can go on. but, the success of the university sports shall always be the community.

The TSA is testing shoe scanning technology at LAX–this would allow travelers to keep their shoes on at the airport.
Interesting article about how the Afghanistan government protects the opium trade–Afghanistan supplies 90% of the world’s heroin and nobody (including the US) is really trying to stop it.
Stanford researchers are upset with how the Federal Government wants to trademark SLAC or change the name. I love their suggested FUNDMe acronym!
Ad buyers want newspapers to reinvent their business model. Mediaweek predicts that as soon as 2012 newspapers could be web only:
Blackwater is planning to airdrop packs of Xbox 360s, TVs, modems, and the Guitar Hero game to drop to troops in Afghanistan.
Free play links pau.
Although we had to remove our shoes at HNL airport, we did not at the Tokyo airport. One would think the security rules would be universal.
I went to UH from 92-97 (yeah 5 years to finish) and he football teams went a combined 24-34-1. Not an earth shattering record but if I recall correctly (and maybe midori7 can confirm or not) the student section was pretty full for those years.

Is the Big East planning on adding Army and Navy? The NY Post says that they are looking at adding Army and Navy in a limited arrangement (each would play 4 conference games, so together they would basically add one school to the conference).
Ferguson is one of them wily veterans. Gotta watch out for those guys. Ferguson has 105 NFL starts compared to Satele’s 16. Ferguson also has 12 years of weight training on Satele. Coaches don’t sound alarmed by Satele’s inability for Samson to contain Ferguson. They understand that it’s just a veteran schooling a second year youngster. Satele will be just fine. Just gotta remember leverage, balance, balance, leverage, leverage, balance, lbalance, leverage, leverage balance balance leverage. Oh and i forgot…footwork, footwork, footwork, footwork., footwork.
I find it interesting that the University of Cincinnati (someone posted earlier), with twice as many people in their area only sells half as many season tickets as the UH. Hmmmm
Pride,
I agree…Samson will learn a LOT from going against Ferguson. It will make him better, and prepare him well for the season.
One key thing to note is that Samson’s coaches haven’t even hinted at any worry about Samson. He’s solid at their starting C spot even with all the trouble he’s having with Ferguson.
The Miami papers are very good at giving the lineups and depth charts for each practice. Samson has worked EVERY practice with the first team OL, the only position that has been rotating is one of the guard spots.
ESPN says that the Big East is NOT going to add Army and Navy.
Rutgers’ head coach talked about how they scheduled Fresno State and praised their team.
Pride,
I noticed Hercules’ form right away when I looked at the photos…but figured that I shouldn’t comment because it was just one isolated play and most rookies struggle early in camp anyway…
It’s funny that you should say that Garret. When I asked a friend of mine in 2005 who spends a lot of time in the Middle East, “Why are we in Afghanistan, and Kuwait?”. Assuming that he would say because of oil, I was surprised when he said that we are there to maintain the flow of Opium.
That’s when I told him that he had too much of it in his head. Perhaps I was wrong?
one thing i won’t buy is the cost of the tickets as being too high for them to attend.
these same kids spend big bucks at the clubs nightly. i know it is not about the money.
i am rather inclined to agree with stretch that part of the reason is the beer. but, then again, how many kids today have fake id’s that they are using at the clubs.
no, until tradition sets in the same situation will prevail. the fair weather fans will always be there when its blue skies. the grumblers and critics will always be there, too, whether we win or lose.
for me, i would like to see the young kids getting in to watch the team. once they do they could become lifetime UH fans. i know i did back in the day. okay, waaaay back in the day.
…nuff said
Pride,
I don’t know why we would want to keep the flow of opium going… but I think we cannot eliminate the opium crops without destroying the government in Afghanistan. And that is a shame because that is how the Taliban is financing their efforts and how a lot of other groups that are not friendly to the US are getting their money.
The people in Afghanistan need some other way to make money than the opium trade. If they had oil then things might be quite different.
I think Kuwait is different because they are a small country with a LOT of oil…plus, they aren’t shooting at our troops.
You’re right Garret, Samson seems to be set at Center. I’m very glad for him. Sounds like his partner Soliai needs to step it up a bit though. I wish him luck.
D-1shima,
Well, guess what, the dead street light opposite my house is being fixed at 9:50 pm.
I’d called the Mayor’s office to complain about it last week. I like how I get results!
But why didn’t they fix it during the day? The truck is making a racket so late at night.
SDSU students have another option to get to Jack Murphy Field: Rail. The San Diego Trolley added a line and an underground station at the campus in 2005. Approximately 8 minutes one way, $4 round trip fare.
Anyway, d-1, you should have no trouble finding my house next time.
gigi – I think you answered your own question.
“I’d called the Mayor’s office to complain about it last week. I like how I get results!”
The City crew thoughts, “This lady wants to complain and be a big B**** about it, we’ll fix it for her”
SteveM,
Thank you for posting the notice about the Bay Area Cattle Call. I kept putting off looking through the old blogs to get the info so I could post it again.
If anyone wants to RSVP or set up something in the South Bay, my e-mail address is gokamoto at gmail dot com. I don’t have 808chef’s contact info or I would have e-mailed him last week about this.
opium…..i heard once that the govt knowingly allows these drugs in to the country out of fear that we would have too many drug addicts going nuts if the supply was cut off.
Herc’s block is called a “lookout!” block.
Too many of those and you’re an ex pro.
Hope they give him enough time to develop.

Anyway, time for me to go to sleep. Today should be a fun day–the first time that my kids will ever have a babysitter (not counting the grandparents watching them in Hawaii or Vegas) in our home. Lori is currently using me as a pillow and I should get her to bed.
Happy 7th Anniversary Lori!
If I’m not online tomorrow like I normally am, there is a good reason for that…
Al san,
theories abound on that subject.
I read one that said drugs are allowed in the US to control the black ghettos
Hi everyone! I’m pulling an Esme but just wanted to say hi. Been lurking but also been pretty busy.
another anniversary….so soon.
happy anniversary lori and garret!
7th anniversary huh?
whoooeee. you young folks. i tell you.
well, Al, how do you explain the drug busts in Hawaii? Just had one a few days ago!
Happy 7th Anniversary Garret & Lori !
i read about that too. in fact, i read the govt supplied some areas when things got too hot in there.
HAPPY 7TH ANNIVERSARY, GARRET AND LORI!
Wait til you have been married 28 years like I have.
gigi,
according to the conspiracy guys, local cops are not in on the plan, just certain feds
gg….they still have to keep control and justify their positions.
….
worst is, why don’t we tap the oil that is in alaska? why don’t we tap the offshore sites that are known to have oil?
who’s profitting from this gigi?
my brother was a drug addict. He used to get his drugs on a street in Kalihi.
So sad, he died of Hepatitis C a few years ago.
Ohio State might have something to do with that.
gg…..28 yrs? i am 5 up on you in anniversaries yet nearly 5 down in years.
I never get the good stuff, only free drugs I ever got was a sample bottle of Tylenol P.M.
At least I slept good that night.
Al, I think we are already tapping oil in the Gulf of Mexico. I own stock in a company that has rigs there.
Everyone who ever played knows that block, Las Vegas. You just don’t want to become too proficient at it.
gigi,
Al,
28 years?
33 years?
That’s…..like 7 thousand in dog years
Thanks Vegas. I always wanted to be a mature 12,000 dog years old.
Pride.,
when I played in that extinct touch tackle league, the lookout block was a specialty of our entire team.
the QB was not too happy, as you may surmise.
In that type of league, everybody wants to be a receiver.
Pride.,
My! you age well!
Don’t look a day over 9,000 years.
Great genes!
feet of lead, hands of stone, head of rock=Lineman in that league
Vegas, how long have you been married? Too bad counseling couldn’t preserve your previous marriages.
Thanks LV. By the way, I never did like those football leagues that you were talking about. Too many guys who were blind in their left eye and couldn’t see the “touch” part of “touch, tackle football”.
Gigi,
counseling cannot save a marriage devoured by Koreamoku and it’s denizens.
I stood no chance against Thuy, Eun Kim, Thuy again, Sachiko and Bruce.
Pride.,
I enjoyed the league, practise with the guys twice a week, go to war with them on Sundays.
The camaraderie and getting a new jersey every year was fun.
The shots to the head and back, I could do without.
LV, well, good thing you’re far from Koreamoku now. But what about the lure of the Strip in Vegas?
gigi,
LV strip holds no allure for me, I avoid it like the plague.
Only time I go is when someone visits or if I score free tickets to a show.
Even then, I don’t hang around long.
Gigi,
I don’t go out too much anymore, and it’s not a process of maturation, but rather an onset of laziness combined with getting old and fat.
I would rather spend my evenings with Mrs LV, the dogs or TV/Computer.
I visited Vegas once and don’t plan to visit again. While there, we toured Green Valley. I think that’s what it is called. Do you live there?
Also saw Hoover Dam.
Happy anniversary, Garret and Lori!
BHF2 ~ Need to get some important information your way. Check your phone messages for my number.
Jason, have a safe trip to the mainland! Are you leaving tomorrow?
Gigi,
I live a few minutes from GV.
LV is not just casinos, there are several big parks nearby such as Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Valley of Fire, Zion and Red Rock.
almost 0230 here
goodnite!
Happy 7th Anniversary Garret and Lori!!
Would love to see Grand Canyon and Death Valley. The other places you mentioned I have never heard of.
Well, gotta babysit again tomorrow, so I’ll say g’nite, folks.
Hope I don’t burn baby’s mouth with food heated too long in the microwave again. Poor t’ing. She shrieked at lunch time and would have nothing more to do with peas and turkey.
Gigi ~ switch to kool pops.
G’nite all, busy day ahead for me and my roomie. Get to sit and listen to a boring lecture all day. We warned them that we both snore loud, but that didn’t seem to matter….Kekoa has left the building…
gigi: Oh my, you have to be careful. Don’t you remember long, long, long ago when you were a mother? Oh wait, they didn’t have electronics back then. 😉
And yes, I do leave tomorrow, in a little less than 21 hours. But the dorm I’m staying at has free Wi-Fi, so I’ll still be able to visit the blog. 😀
Stretch/Jason:
Whatever the case may be, Mr. Donovan needs to assign the athletic marketing department to initiate a big time market study of UH-Manoa students. The College of Business could be a huge partner in providing
student help to understand what the typical UH-Manoa student wants and desires are. I would think the study will be very cruical in determinig how the athletic dept. would target potential customers and DONORS.
Increasing revenue now and in future years would be the most crucial bit of information for survival.
Jason:
Have a good trip. Most of all “REPRESENT!”
And be good ( yea right?)
Went to Monday practice, only a few receivers, Shane Austin for qb. No defense for 7 on 7s. This is first chance to show JUGS in action. Thanks again bhf2.—sjmacro

Safe travels, Jason. Did you see the additional pics I have up on Facebook?
Good Morning Tsaikos!!
I wonder if there’s anything to do around lunch time today??
Stretch,
I’m going to Sushi Fuji for lunch today!
