To boot

😳

Anyway, forgot about Scott Harding–he could be a punter/runner threat too.

Interesting to hear about Iosefa as a triple threat.

Hawaii could solve their punting woes by simply scoring on every possession. =)

good luck to alex.

This “blind-side” hit really hurts the team. I agree with A-joe that if the Offense clicks, this would be a moot point. I think the O-Line will come through and the team will move the ball and we won’t have to worry about our QB having only 2 seconds to get rid of the ball.

From yesterday’s blog:

INNOCENT OBSERVER:

July 7th, 2012 at 8:21 pm

westside warrior – the kicker was not caught drunk, he was caught driving drunk, which is more egregious, he could have maimed or killed someone, if not himself. yes, kids will be kids and will drink, not only those of age, but those under age, but i am not saying it is okay. however, the coach should provide the behavior rules of being on the team. driving drunk is a crime. being drunk is not a crime unless you affect someone else adversely. since this behavior has repeated itself 3 times on the football team in a relativley short time, any punishment must be enhanced to really deter such behavior.

Don’t know why you’re directing this argument towards me. This has been my main point since it surfaced.

The drinking age is of no concern. It’s getting caught driving after drinking that’s the stupid part. There’s gotta be a friend somewhere that people can call, instead of taking a chance. Every one of them need to have a phone number to call, and KNOW that they HAVE TO call that number if they’ve had a drink and need a ride back home. No questions. Just call! Dang it!

All this talk about stress pushing them to drink is kinda off the mark, to me. There’s always been drinking… always been partying. To think otherwise is just plain naive. The issue is that these kids are being caught drinking while supposedly drunk. That is where the focus needs to be. They need to know that if they go out partying, they can get back safely, legally… and not have to resort to taking a chance with anyone’s lives.

Which was then corrected to read:

My post at 3:50pm above, should read, “The issue is that these kids are being caught driving while supposedly drunk.”

Good Morning! If anything, i hope that no one is given the boot! Young people just need to make better choices when it comes to consumption of alcohol!

Lets hope there’s never a need to punt, but I like the thought of using Iosefa back there!

Nice photos of Pilares and Silas! Pilares’ mom looking good too! The video showed what great friends the two are! Pilares needs to remove his glasses for photos. He shouldn’t hide those amazing eyes and long lashes!

Best wishes to Mr & Mrs Tuyay!

Oops! Silas should be Salas!

My former school had a simple phrase, ACHIEVE THE HONORABLE. Maybe UH can implement some phrase whereby students can remember honoring their school whether in scholastics or athletics…be proud to represent as they say.

Hawaii Bowl still a tie-in for 2012. Not sure after that tho.

Wie choked big time yesterday.

Would Wie be a better golfer if she told her parents to stay home and watch her on TV ?

Great Morning All!

Whew….breathe deep.

Congratulations M/M Tuyay!

ST: that video of Pilares and Salas was so cute, it made me laugh. What great friends they are!

I think its alot harder to replace a punter than say a place kicker. It takes more than a strong leg and decent hang time. Directional kicking and ryhthym is key and that takes repetition and experience on the field. If you don’t have those qualities down pat, you might see more shanked punts for 15 yards.

Anywho, I think suspension at most and not a dismissal is in order. Once Chow reads the reports, talks to Alex and the rest of the staff (Demarest), four games seems reasonable. To dismiss him completely in order to set a more stern example is a bit harsh, in my opinion.

Thank you a bunch for sharing this with all people you really recognise what you are talking about! Bookmarked. Kindly additionally visit my site =). We will have a link change agreement among us

The Three Babuuzes.

if anyone of them got a issue with their arrest, which sometimes happens, this I gotta see.

but so far, from what I see, one already pled to his charged DUI.

meanwhile Coach is under the gun. great players looking to come onto this team want to know he is all about perfection and will help them to be more perfect. Trying to be perfect. Thats the image he portrays to me.

Yup, Alex blew it big time. Its up to him to help coach figure a way out of the public jam.

he put himself in the bulls eye. if was me, i’d mutually agree to a 100 day suspension. start today. that way everybody can move on. unless he like go another school. or give up a shirt year. but do something now so the other players know positively that Coach ain’t smessing around.

Sorry, you can’t undo the pole position.

Yup, that’s what she said.

Regarding the UH drunks football team, I’m in favor of kicking all three bad boys off the team. You have got to send a message. Nothing personal, but Chow is not receiving the respect he deserves. Neither is the program or the fans, for that matter.

Let Chow handle it his way.

Along with these players there’s about a hundred other men on this team that still need our support. Now more than ever.

Today’s round only” Michelle Wie 4 over after only 6 holes. On Friday she only had 23 putts. There’s only 18 holes. I kind of thought if she missed a relatively short putt, her day would be miserable as all the memories of missed short putts will come back and with her doubting herself, cannot have a good round.

#40, Steve P~, I don’t recall that ST wrote anything saying to dump all 3, unless I’m reading your comment wrong.

I Think Steve is referring to Manoa Mist’s post.

Wie choking big time again today. Already+6 on the day tied for 28th.

Good Morning Gangeez!

Agree with A-joe – offense gotta score on every posession. Defense and special teams need to score a couple of TDs just for good measure.

No mattah what – in Chow we trust.

Yesterday, I think I found the last 2XL black “We will chase Championships” tee shirt left on the island. It was at the convenience store in the car wash! 😆 I snapped dat buggah up right away! 🙂

Anyway, MAHALO to all the other Warriors who’s trainin’ hard and keeping their noses clean. Can’t wait for USC.

GO WARRIORS!!!

The presidence has been set, 4 game suspension. That’s it move on. I do not believe in “off the team” for this type of infraction. Yes someone could have been killed but every time someone steps behind a wheel someone can be killed. Swerve to avoid an animal, blow out of a tire and loose control could also result in loss of a life. Working 2 jobs and you fall asleep at the wheel you endanger a like. So what if these infractions are discussed on national TV. What people like Colt, Davonne and Pisa did was worst in nature but I’d be happy to call them sons for what they did with their lives after getting in trouble.

Lucky we live America where everyone can have and express an opinion. I just did.

ATTENTION BIG ISLAND TSAIKOS, BOOSTERS, FRIENDS AND FAMILY OF UH FOOTBALL:

Don’t miss it – goin’ be good fun just like the last one! Plenty of parking and a huge covered lanai area for chillin’ and grillin’!

See you there!

Mia Culpa, I was referring to Manoa Mists post when I thought ST talked of throwing all of three off the team. My bad.

For three cases of arrests there are still HUNDREDS of UHM student-athletes doing just fine.

Instill a moral code in hopes of having student-athletes live up to it????

What a joke! Not even a fair statement to the 99% population of the student-athlete body that have done nothing wrong.

Typical pitchfork and torching classification …

Logic seems that Tachibana and Dunnachie would miss 4 games the same as Shutter. Seems reasonable. Either way, they all let the team down big time. Coach Chow is not happy and I think he’s right to be angry about the situation. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s going to take a tougher stance on the punishment.

On another matter is Arceneaux officially on staff as co-QB coach and is getting paid or is he an unpaid volunteer? As a co-QB is that full time or part-time. Just to be clear.

Anybody know if Clair played last night and how did he do if he did? Curious.

Stephen’s last comment (IIRC) regarding Arceneaux is that nothing definite has been put in place.

I could be wrong but if he were part of the staff he wouldn’t be able to be out there at the workouts.

Well stated, Hawaiian. Something to ponder…

Shucks! Wish I could. Sounds like a good shin dig brewing.

You think need moa kaukau? I can summon some Big Island braddahs fo send moa your way.

GOOD MORNING HAWAII!

A-JOE #60 – Right on!

Undoubtedly every time someone gets behind a wheel, things can happen.

But drinking is a deliberate act. Falling asleep at the wheel or texting or phone calls is a deliberate act – yes, if you are tired and not alert and fall asleep, you deliberately got behind the wheel inspite of your condition.

Tire failure is not a deliberate act.

But as DPK and BHF2 says – in Chow we MUST trust.

Therefore, in your deliberations, when seeking to determine the military conditions, let them be made the basis of a comparison, in this wise:

(4) On which side is discipline most rigorously enforced?

Tu Mu alludes to the remarkable story of Ts`ao Ts`ao (A.D. 155-220), who was such a strict disciplinarian that once, in accordance with his own severe regulations against injury to standing crops, he condemned himself to death for having allowed his horse to shy into a field of corn! However, in lieu of losing his head, he was persuaded to satisfy his sense of justice by cutting off his hair. Ts`ao Ts`ao’s own comment on the present passage is characteristically curt: “when you lay down a law, see that it is not disobeyed; if it is disobeyed the offender must be put to death.”

A-joe –

Just tell da braddahs fo come by! Erryting potluck, BYOB.

I always wondered why so many Americans kept hopping on the number of troops KIA in Vietnam during the conflict.

Yes, we lost about 55,000 troops in 10 years, but more people were killed in auto accidents every year during those 10 years

yet, did you hear any outcry over this? if any, from MADD. But who else?

If we went to war and lost only a single person due to injuries, nearly every one, including our President, would claim a great success.

Tell that to the family who lost that single person!

There are nearly 400 student-athletes at UH Manoa.

Considering the so-called evils out there for college students to encounter, I take solace in knowing how well 99% of them are handling themselves.

Just like the offensive line on a football team, you know you are doing something right when no one talks about you.

Here’s to the monumental majority of our UHM student-athletes that have done nothing wrong, but are lumped in with a few bad apples by a few holier than thou keyboard masters that walk the earth while walking on water!

Sorry on my earlier post about Michelle Wie. I didn’t mean to disrespect her. I just think that she has tremendous talent but has a weak mind as far a just enjoying the game and actually realizing that nothing, for anybody, is perfect on the golf course. People will make mistakes on the course and its the great ones that can overcome those mistakes mentally.

Sorry DPK.

That’s not exactly the Sun Tzu I was thinking of but the site won’t allow me to post it. 🙁

I’ll email you.

#75 we lost 85 men in one day.

#87:

yes, it hurts to lose even one.

but speaking of numbers only, more people were killed in auto accidents every day across the US than a single day in Nam.

Here’s a bit of trivia. Which war suffered the most American casualites?

Let’s leave it for another day, sorry to all the blog folks.

Good morning Tsaikos!

I will leave the punishment up to the judicial system and the coaching staff.

gigi – those particular shirts are NOT at Rainbowtique. In general, if something is at Rainbowtique, it’s ONLY at Rainbowtique. The “Chase Championships” shirts are UH-licensed shirts sold at many places, such as Wal-Mart/Sams, Longs, etc…

Nam also killed some good people who came back after the war.

ST: good warning. But, most players who comment here do so under an alias.

RIP Ernest Borgnine. He was 95.

SHOKO #88 – I believe it was the War Between the States (Southern version).

The Civil War (Northern version).

Not so amazingly, with all the comments on DUI, I suspect that there are more than a few posters here guilty of the same. Everyone needs to take driving under the influence seriously. Driving under the influence is a DUI even if you don’t get caught. I had a friend who left a tailgate not knowing that that would be his last game. Everyone here should walk the walk so we can talk the talk.

😯

I guess people learn their lesson the hard way. I guess I should say most people, because there are some who never learn their lesson and are arrested for DUI multiple times.

Bottom line, those who no can handle shouldn’t drink…those who THINK they can handle shouldn’t be driving.

#96,

Understood.

HOWEVER, the players that are coping better…..still want their own coaches to know what’s going on…..in an indirect manner…..so that the culture of the FB program improves…..in order to yield the desired results…..which should obviously be same goals for everyone in the FB program.

North Carolina…Carolina Blue…Light Blue….not deep.

Sabe?

I wonder how many student-athletes (other than football) got DUI’s that went unreported. If a player does not attract the attention of the public or media when he gets arrested, its probably easier to keep it in-house and just suspend him for “violating team rules”, which wouldn’t draw so much ire among students and fans. Better than hitting the front page of the sports section.

Tom is right. Civil War would have sufficed for me tho. However, you get extra credit for making that distinction between the North and South versions.

With this logic you are already placing suspicion, unproven and unfair suspicion on student-athletes that in fact have done nothing wrong.

Those that have “violated team rules” for academics and absence from study hall of which have nothing to do with DUIs or other real life criminal conduct are now placed in possible suspicion in your eyes.

This is the ignorant and knee-jerk reaction I fully expected from most.

To me this is blatant disrespect of good young individuals that excel on the field/court and in the classroom only to be classified as young punks due to missteps in the law by a few.

It is everyone’s uninformed right to form conclusions on a demographic of people vilified as the bottom dregs of society by those that continue to walk on water in their own minds.

Nosebleeds upon your perch are quite common due to the high altitidue. I hope you are not wearing a white shirt.

To the point, I think your suspicion is unfounded, unfair and quite stupid.

I saw a TV ad once where the police officer said that one beer can put you over the alcohol limit in Hawaii – 1 beer!!! – you may not be “drunk”, but it’s over the legal limit.

He would forgive everybody, “seven times seventy…”

Didn’t expect anything less from Kazz. I knew if I got a response from him, he would read too much into it. As always… 😉

Can you imagine drinking 6 beers every night???

Gavin Smith still missing.

http://news.yahoo.com/20-000-reward-missing-hollywood-executive-161306470–abc-news-topstories.html

FBI website has a list of sites you can go to to see if you have the DNS virus. I checked mine.

Shoko, to your point, here’s what was posted on another forum:

“I think it is time for Norm to start kicking these guys off the team– maybe then they will stop.

Just watched a story last week on the woman killed from out Kahuku side– friend of the Fehoko’s and others out there– drunk driver came across the line and hit her as she was headed to work.

The police need to let Norm know something I just found out from talking to a police officer– they could have caught three more UH players over the last two weeks for DUI, but they were all very close to home, so the officers sent them straight home– lucky for them and the team, but see what happens now (BTW, I do not condone letting guys go– but it happens I know a relative who was stopped a few blocks from his house and sent on his way).”

This is from a respected poster. Not sayin’ that all UH athletes are all angels or all devils, but surely where there’s smoke, there’s fire. And yes Shoko, you entitled to your opinion without being called stupid for it. Just sayin. Where’s the aloha?? Gotta keep the aloha on the blog or it will turn off many, many readers.

Mr Tsai is the new outside hitter recruit a german named Tom Strombach? I saw that on another site.

i get da aloha. an i provide plenny backup. an i no like say anymo cuz… get da 5th… oh da 8th…

what i no like about all dis is da bad PR fo our team. dat big suckee suckee.

RE: DPK’s #50 above

Bighilofan2 — do you have any info who is bringing what to the Big Island Cattle Call next week? I know you’ll have a lot of people and long-time lurkers–and enough fuud to last thru Monday– but gotta look organized, no? 😆

BTW, we’ve had a lot of bloggers from the Big Island over the years… here’s your chance to finally meet!

Small kine irritation, but just gotta learn and move on. Pretty sure more drama

comes when fall camp starts but to me, more positives is happening at UH than

negatives. That’s just my observation.

Go Warriors!!

Go Niners!!

So why does he have a 2 after fan? Is there another 1?

The Three Idiots just replaced the Three Stooges.

BigHilo –

Thank God the TSA waz not Union’ized

LG~May I please have a name tag?

Gigi, #141, I have been pulled over 3 for driving the EXACT speed at night with no one the road.

On all occurrences, the cop asked why I was driving too slow.. (how you figgah?)

Once when I was just out of college I was given the walking and eye vision test. I passed then the cop asked why I was shivering like a mad man, then I said, “uh officer its 2am, its 60 degrees and I’m wearing a tank top!”

Bone head rookie cop with attitude said, “next time drive faster you punk”

Dude really wanted to get one on his nightly tally sheet after wasting over an hour under the bridge by Aloha Stadium.

Funny thing was I had a long pony tail back then. As I left I waved to him in a exagerated broke wrist koamahu style, and said, “Aloha!!!”

😆

I have been ticketed twice: once for jaywalking and once for blocking the intersection when the light turned red.

I am more careful now.

brake time. see you hi ho hi ho.

Okay, definitely pau talking about this DUI stuff.

Time to get ready for Schleep.

live me in the pickle jar long enough and I become liberal. 😀

after reading about what da Catholic doing at Notre Dame, their situation

I’d say Coach Chow wen over react to Shutter.

but we ended up with Shroeder.

we also have ended up with a great great coaching staff.

Chow’s not fat. is he a killa? I kinda hope so.

Only saw him on TV, but Miah Andrade reminds me a lot of another Miah — Ostrowski. Tough kid, good hands, effortless running style. Besides playing at wideout, he returned punts and kickoffs, and also punted.

is jeremiah andrade related to the andrade who ran circles around everyone while playing for waialua hs back in the mid-late 60’s? (also, a 100yd dash champ)

i know one tsaiko who still remembers how fast he turned the corner and was a cloud of dust thereafter. still can hear the “beep, beep”, that same one that haunted wily coyote.

BigHilo: so what does a goat taste like? Like lamb or like cow?

gigi howzit.

usually da buggaz taste tuff, an kinda vinegary. i usually eat em smoked. with rice an ketchup. but when you hungry, you just eat em.

the worst is eating Bambi. My brother used to go hunting for venison in the Mokokai hills.

since this is kinda family friendly blogsite, imma not gonna tell you wat i witnessed back in da day.

ok ok you forced my hand. my friends on my paper route, da real kinda peeps wen make to da caulding. tie da bugga to da cross. stick bottle in da mouth, bottom of the bottle cut off, pour da rice mixcha wit water vinegar shoyu in thru da bottle, fill up da stomach, then knife in da neck, burn alla da hair, spin em on da rod ober da flames till pau. yum yum 😯

dem were da days.

today’s peeps are coddled. jack in da box. 😆

Coach Chow could use sum training in old school tactics porget da players attention. 😆

no need get drastic. im not advocating like knife in da neck. 😆

just kidding. JUST KIDDING! :

you do all that to a goat?

nah. I graduated from Roosevelt. I was offered a scholarship to St Francis, but I told Mom I preferred Roosevelt because it was co-ed. I liked boys back then. St Francis was for girls only.

i can tell from reading da blog dat many a country raised Tsaiko wuz akchally a suburbanite. Pahala raised por example. das a townie. 😆 witta choke pile sprinklin of … uh…. greys. cuz da goats bin get eradicated. 😆

citified.

dis blog is a high class muka muka spot when you get right down to it.

Yeah, I gotta admit I am citified. My brother was more country. He liked to go hunting and fishing.

ok gotta go nite nite. see you all tomorrow Tsaikos.
