Tuesday

First!?

Toid!

Missed you in Vegas UHFan808.

Good morning, Tsaikos and Tsaikettes, Lurkers and Lurkettes!

Hope everyone has a good day!

Looks like it’ll be a nice weather day for practice.

Have a productive practice, Team!

GO WARRIORS!!!

Good morning Tsaikos!!

Congrats jojo!! Need a ride to the t-gate? 😀

GO WARRIORS!!

GO WAHINE!!

ST – Hey, finally finally! How was Jersey Boys?

ST – I’m hearing Tricky. Did that happen, too? 🙂

Drats I missed all TsingingTsaikos 🙁 🙁 🙁

Go Warriors!

Beat UC Davis!

Believe and Support the Team!

Actually, I think staying thru until Monday is a good tip for anyone leaving Vegas.

Also, if you are catching a cab to the airport tell the cabbie to use Flamingo instead of Tropicana. At times road work on Tropicana results in a nearly mile long line of cars waiting to make the right turn to Paradise. Glad I got the heads up on this early.

Good Morning Tsaikos!!

d1 – or you can have the cab driver go past the traffice, turn into the gas station, then turn back towards the airport. saved me about 20 minutes.

I’m still crying in my beer! I’ll go take it out on a golf ball!

UHFan808/WassupDoc,

Sorry, no can make that TV-Gate for LaTech. Wildcats playing at the same time so will be tethered to the computer then.

GO WARRIORS!

GO WILDCATS X 2!

Morning… New Season starts today! Today is the first day of the rest of the Season! Whootah!!! We are undefeated this week… let’s keep it that way!

RE: my #18

…maybe stay through Monday night too. 🙂

Of course, you should arrive on Thursday or earlier so you can stay up for karaoke until 0230+ on game day. 🙄

Tsaiko-Vegas week? Maybe do an excursion off the Vegas ship?

Sounding more like a cruise but had to remember to pay for the fuud and tips constantly.

BC mentioned this morning that UC Davis beat Stanford once…

Good to read, d1.

The October 1, 2011 UH–LaTech PPV game begins at 1:00 pm HAWAII TIME and should end between 4:30 and 5:00 pm. Then, head over to…

Oktoberfest at the Hale Koa

– from 5:30 pm

Hale Koa Room – 2nd floor

Curt has purchased 18 tickets for Tsai-kos and has reserved a long table. He might have a ticket left ($10). Curt wants me to Chicken dance. Maybe. 😆

Looks like West Virginia was told “no thanks” by the SEC, and that Missouri is now in line for the 14th SEC team. In the potential dominoes game, that’s one less team for the new Big 12East. It’s out there that Rutgers and UConn are aggressively looking to be the 15th and 16th ACC teams. Big East has already lost Syracuse and Pitt to the ACC. That’d make five less teams for the Big 12East. Does that make TCU more likely to leave, or stay in the MW? Or does the Big 12East start looking at Boise State, AFA or others from the MW and CUSA?

The Southeastern Conference has an offer on the table for Missouri to join its league, and SEC officials are willing to wait for an answer from Missouri until the future of the Big 12 is decided.

http://www.kansascity.com/2011/09/20/3155336/source-mizzou-has-sec-offer-but.html#ixzz1YW9DIpcz

Hope the SJSU coach gets a slap on the wrist.

These WAC officials… IN ALL SPORTS, are quite… terrible.

Does that make TCU more likely to leave, or stay in the MW? Or does the Big 12East start looking at Boise State, AFA or others from the MW and CUSA?

It sounds like a number of teams are in play not for the revised Big 12. Even the MWC’s commissioner is openly talking about how the MWC could lose Boise State and Air Force to the Big 12.

Richard Justice of the Houston Chronicle wrote:: “If Oklahoma and Texas do join the Pac 12, the Big 12 and Big East will create some kind of merger. Houston, Boise, BYU, Air Force and one or two others will be invited to join in the conference.”

http://voices.idahostatesman.com/2011/09/20/bmurphy/could_boise_state_be_headed_a_newlook_big_12_plus_more_conferenc

I think Hawaii would vote to approve such a clause…I mean yes we all wanted to go to the PAC-10…But once they go to 16 our chances went from slim/nothing to nothing basically.

So, the MWC might be dead before we become official members, eh? That’s worse news than last week’s game.

Exit fee…yeah, $20 million would be a more effective deterrent than this…

Effective this date, the Mountain West has added to its Bylaws resignation parameters which establish a significant financial penalty for an institution that chooses to depart the Conference. If a member institution provides notice on or before the June 30 preceding its subsequent June 30 withdrawal date, it shall forfeit its final year of revenue. If the resigning member gives notice after the established June 30 notice date, it shall forfeit its final year of revenue plus pay a sum of $5,000,000 OR shall pay double the amount of the final year’s revenue, whichever is greater.

http://www.themwc.com/genrel/060711aab.html

At least we won’t be playing Dallas Baptist in conference baseball.

Or…The College of the Holy Ozarks in volleyball.

Those exit fees are always negotiable once the mediators get involved.

#57,

Doesn’t have to be if they don’t want it to be. It all depends on the language. It can be as iron clad as you want it.

And if the leaving party wants to challenge it in court…Good luck being in limbo and spending money on those legal fees…Oh and the wait…Love it love it love it.

#60,

Oh ok got it haha. Sorry I was reading it literally. =P.

#62,

The ACC’s slogan should be “We Are One”….Too bad the Warriors already own it 😛

The only reason I say that is because when Fresno State and Nevada announced their defection after June 30th, the so-called WAC exit fee of five million was reduced to less than one million for both schools when everything was said and done . Same with Colorado and Nebraska, if not mistaken. Once lawsuits, depending on the state in which those lawsuits are filed, the courts normally get those mediators involved. Legal fees are costly for both sides.

#40 Shoko

I saw that game and he had a legitimate beef. The spot was really bad.

madeinhawaii,

The MWC will not die. Worst case, it will add a number of WAC teams…and they will be overjoyed to have UH subsidize their travel since their budgets are so tight right now.

Congratulations, Jojo! See you at the tailgate & game!

iwwthm, no make fun of the Ozarks…I lived there once. 🙂 Nice people.

Didn’t make it to practice & can’t tomorrow a.m.

GO WARRIORS!!!

Remember, current AQ conferences are not under evaluation during this 2008-2011 AQ period. The BCS has already clarified that they will retain their AQ status even if they lose a lot of teeams.

The MWC might get AQ status due to performance in the 2008-2011 AQ period. It is important to note that the MWC has no chance to get into the top 6 in the average team category in the 2008-2011 BCS evaluation period…even if the Big East and Big 12 are destroyed, they still have all their teams for the 2008-2011 evaluation period and are both significantly ahead of the MWC.

Happy birthday, cousin Shelley!

#76,

Do you think Utah St. and SJSU would say no to the MWC just because Hawaii wouldn’t be paying for their subs? The status quo when they begged us to stay in the WAC?

“The big problem with leverage comes when you have no options.”

Yep.

iwonderwhytheyhateme,

That is a very good point. The MWC could dictate whether or not USU and other WAC schools needed get travel subsidies from UH.

If the MWC gets raided and C-USA isn’t hurt as badly by raids, then the MWC won’t have any leverage though since they will only be able to add WAC school. C-USA has the superior TV contract and more NCAA basketball money.

As intriguing as this sounds with the hopes of keeping TCU in the MW, I can’t see someone like the Fiesta Bowl being all that happy about having a MW or CUSA anchor team (when it used to be someone like Texas or Oklahoma).

According to Sentinel sources, the BCS board of directors has suggested that to continue operating, it needs six automatic qualifying conferences. That opens the door for the Mountain West and Conference USA to try and gather new friends and walk on in. Both have been on the outside looking in when it comes to the BCS party and would love to finally write their own invitation.

Iwwthm,

Isn’t that pathetic? Down to it’s core it’s a very SAD statement.

Don’t think (at least I don’t think I need to) I need to elaborate on how many other coaches in other sports at ALL athletic programs bust their okoles day in and day out as much as football coaches and yet, they are at the mercy of ONE program.

I compare my disgust to that of how BSU is being ultimately punished for the actions of their tennis program. People, including myself have commented on how unfair it is and I the grand scope of things, it’s equally just as unfair as far as ethics goes.

But, money is involved and why the hell should I expect ethic sensibility to reign supreme?

iwonderwhytheyhateme,

I took some time to think about it and I came around to your position on the MWC’s leverage with WAC schools. All of the WAC schools would fight for a MWC spot, so I think that the MWC will get to determine whether or not UH would have to pay travel subsidies to any WAC school that gets added to the MWC.

It should also be noted that we owe a HUGE mahalo to the Warriors play on the field last season and the UH admin behind the scenes for getting UH the MWC invitation last season. Imagine how bad things would be now for UH with realignment if UH was stuck in the WAC…with no leverage at all UH would have to agree to whatever the MWC asked for or sink with the WAC.

No matter how bad things look for MWC schools, things probably look 100x worse if you are a WAC school like SJSU and have to worry about whether or not you’ll have a conference in 2 years.

Garret,

Why are some articles stating that a MWC-CUSA merger ala Championship game will get AQ status?

Aren’t the BCS numbers diluted at that point?

Some of these articles seem maybe not 100% sure but pretty sure its a given. I don’t understand how that would work.

Left wideout Darius Bright was absent for what was termed personal reasons

This is not good and I hope that Bright can be back at practice soon. UH needs its starting receivers to get as many reps as possible, something that has been a problem since training camp.

#100,

Supposedly PAC12 is going to make some concessions to the “equal sharing of revenue” clause.

Not sure if all the details have been ironed out. But I cannot see Texas joining any conference that will force them to ax the $300M LHN.

POMAI

UH – 49

Davis – 10

#105,

Got it. That makes sense.

Honestly it is better than nothing should it have to go that far. No wonder before the meat of this realignment shakeup CUSA was scratching at the MWC’s door and Thompson gave one of those “we’ll call you…” deals.

Things change.

Hard to work on the long ball connection when the starting receiver is not at practice.

Get well oline.

Go Warrriors.

It looks like the MWC and C-USA are moving ahead with their merger discussions.

MWC AD’s will met in Dallas to discuss merger with CUSA. If #BYU is left out in cold of BCS reshuffle should they be interested in this?

“Wyoming AD RT @ericschmoldt: Burman has been a part of a group of athletic directors in the MW and Conference USA that have had dialogue.

TweetDeck • 9/20/11 2:46 PM”

Oklahoma gave their list of demands for them to stay in the Big 12. I actually think they are fairly reasonable–ESPN should be forced to pull back on the Longhorn Network and the Big 12 commissioner has been less than effective.

One thing that should be pointed out–over the history of the Big 12, and also if we just count the last 5 years, *Oklahoma* has gotten more money than Texas from the Big 12. When the Big 12 began, Nebraska got the most money (since they were on national TV the most), but after Nebraska stopped being ranked then Oklahoma was #1 in Big 12 revenue. I didn’t see Oklahoma complaining all those years when the conference was giving it more than Texas…

The University of Oklahoma is considering remaining in the Big 12, but only in a “reformed” version of the conference that includes hard and fast rules for Texas’ Longhorn Network and removal of Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe, a high-ranking Big 12 source told The Oklahoman on Tuesday.

Ironically, the source said, Texas supported another candidate for commissioner four years ago, when Beebe was hired, while OU supported Beebe.

http://newsok.com/breaking-removal-of-big-12-commissioner-dan-beebe-among-ous-demands/article/3605958

“Don’t proclaim the end of the Big 12 too quickly. It’s not off the table. We’ve got to get some reforms to make it stable. It’s not working as it is.”

Good news from ST on the o-line:

• With Clayton Laurel resting a sore shoulder, Jordan Loeffler took reps as the No. 1 left tackle. Loeffler also worked at right tackle.

• David Lefotu, fully healthy from a knee issue, and Andrew Faaumu split reps at right guard.

• Matagisila Lefiti, who was on crutches after the UNLV game, practiced as the No. 1 center.

Get well; play well.

I’m thinking…..Texas’ GREED, will go independent.

#122…u2funny……if anything, get your degree young man!?

#108 the nut doesn’t fall to far from the tree.

Space junk ETA from Thur thru Sat….

That would be more interesting than a guy with a chute landing at midfield. 😈

Everything is bigger in TX!

#97…. The players and coaches are happy with the uniforms, that’s the bottom line. So your fashion opinion don’t count. How would you feel if someone say you dress like a “sissy” just because you …sound like one .

#97 – Definitely don’t agree with the Clown most of the time, but in this case, I agree that UH needs to go back to a more simplistic, all black uniform, (like the JJ days), that casts a spirit of ONE. All the fancy stuff takes away from what we’d like our players to be…

Pomai: I think UH will have a struggle this weekend and alot of soul searching…Nonetheless, I predict that UH will win: 35-17

As for Bright, if his personal reasons have to do with whether he wants to be a part of the team, then I think he needs to comes to grip with it or just leave…Either you’re “all in” or its time to move on…

I love our Coaches.. Love our players.. and so we had a couple of aberrations, it’s not the end of the world. If we get 7 wins, we’ll do better than half the teams out there. If we get 8, better still… nine – awesome!… ten? Outstanding!… 11? I’d be in the streets screaming Mack and Company’s names like I was preaching Jehovah!….

Okay.. maybe not that far.. but you get my drift… We still got a lot of season left and many opportunities to have a great, even incredible season. We were 1-2 last season and won 10.

Let’s not forget that we are a mid-major that nobody but the WAC wanted. But thanks to a lot of hard working people including our coaches we are now MWC bound … Our Oline looks depleted this season, but the cupboards are pretty well stocked for the seasons to come. Just waiting for the buggas to put on a little more meat…

Would we have as much to look forward to without Mack and Company? I shudder to think.

Okay, he’s not perfect… Maybe not your 3-5 million dollar Coach. Nor are Aranda and Rolo… but I believe we are still on the right track. Season’s may be put together on a whim.. but good programs are built over time with a lot of sweat, error and correction, more sweat, more errors, more corrections, but with determination, perseverance, tenacity, accountability and solid community involvement/participation. It’s a slow process but I can see the mountain moving.

” … University of Hawaii freshman outside hitter JANE CROSON is the Western Athletic

Conference Volleyball Player of the Week. … ”

Congratulations !!!

Congratulations to Jane Croson!…

It sounds to me that Oklahoma State hasn’t liked what it has been hearing from the Pac-12…the quotes from Pickens are much stronger against the move than before.

Boone Pickens doesn’t believe the Big 12 is dead. The Oklahoma State benefactor even believes Texas A&M’s departure for the SEC can be stopped.

“I think the Aggies are sobering up,” Pickens told The Oklahoman.

Pickens said if OSU and OU enter the Pac-12, “are you going to be full-fledged members? Not ever, probably. You’ll be viewed as the division without the ocean. You’ll get to play SC (Southern Cal) at Stillwater every eight years. That’s not much of a deal.”

McTruck…..Green was on the inactive list this week.

I think the only way he gets on the active list is if there is an injury to Cobb (kick returner), Grant or Starks.

hmm, I texted you Stephen Tsai…

back to stalking, I mean lurking

Happy Birthday Shelley Okubo!

Because I’m PARANOID that way, Garret or anyone else with insight:

Is there anything that prevents the MWC from rescinding UH’s invitation? What if Baylor, Missouri, Kansas, etc. says, we’ll join the MWC, but not if we have to fly to Hawaii?

Or what if CUSA says, yeah, we’ll merge, but not with Hawaii?

If you’re a Hawaii fan or ESPECIALLY a coach or administrator working for UH athletics you should ALWAYS keep an extra set of eyes behind your back.

That being said…my answer is based upon the fact that all the papers are signed and blah blah blah.

If not, like Kevin said…it might be something they would pull.

Once we are in, in, in it is almost impossible to “kick out” a member.

Looks like some major moves on offense, coaches have their work cut out, D Bright ?Atttitude Problem? hope not, he just needs to realize he played crappy and needs great improvement, also the guy is SLOW…. no break away speed whatsoever.

Congrats to Croson! She’s impressive when she goes for a kill or on her serve.

Hope the ailing Warriors are healing. GO WARRIORS!!!

#158,

Oh no…I am not 100% about where we are in terms of the contract with the MWC.

If it hasn’t been signed and “awaiting effective date” then we could face problems.

ANYTHING is possible….and I’d trade the bat for a shotgun to be quite frank. It’s just that kind of sports world.

UH and autonomy….

It’s value to some appears to hinder the assistance UH athletics seeks from the legislature as a result of those seeking to garner the U-P-P-E-R hand.

Haters gonna hate.

A look at what a true MWC-CUSA merger might look like.

http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/09/19/mountain-west-conference-usa-working-on-merger/

Iwwthm,

Actually, in todays COLLEGIATE and PRO sports world, a shotgun won’t do the trick. A trusted individual needs the “football”, you know, that thing that accompanies the US President around. The thing with our nuclear launch codes.

Sometimes the best way to fix everything is… ahem… a CLEAN slate.

Hmmmm…my clock says 3:44pm but Tsai’s clock says 3:32pm…

I thought Darius Bright played pretty well considering

his injury. Still think he would make a great defensive back

to cover those big receivers…

Because I’m PARANOID that way, Garret or anyone else with insight:

Is there anything that prevents the MWC from rescinding UH’s invitation? What if Baylor, Missouri, Kansas, etc. says, we’ll join the MWC, but not if we have to fly to Hawaii?

Or what if CUSA says, yeah, we’ll merge, but not with Hawaii?

WarriorMojo,

I don’t think that UH’s invitation would be rescinded, that would be very bad PR. Plus, with travel subsidies and good BCS numbers last season, there is not much incentive to exclude UH.

However, certain issues have STILL not been decided on and could make UH wish to not be in the MWC. For example, the TV issue is still not determined. If the MWC makes their TV rule to be like the Pac-12 and Big 10, then UH’s PPV deal would be prohibited. The MWC could give UH just a partial TV share (since UH isn’t a member in all non-football sports)…going from $2.5 mil (plus normally about $400k from the WAC) to less than $1 mil would be hard on UH financially.

The travel subsidy issue also is not set for schools from the central and eastern time zones. If they didn’t want UH to be a part of a C-USA or Big 12 merger, all they would have to say is that UH’s travel subsidy would be $1 mil per game from the central time zone and $1.5 mil from the eastern time zone. That would force UH out of a conference merger.

So, I seriously doubt that UH’s invitation would be rescinded. However, they could easily make UH quit the conference if they wanted to. I doubt this will happen though, given the travel subsidies (which would be slightly higher for Central Time Zone schools and even higher for Eastern Time Zone schools) and having UH be football-only.

We should remember that UH is not a full member of the MWC, so if they want 12 full members and can fill up with Big 12 schools or other C-USA targets (they keep trying to get SMU/Houston/UTEP and get turned down), then they won’t want/need UH.

If the MWC/CUSA merger gets half-AQ status, then UH’s AQ numbers will be worthless to the MWC. Then we have to sleep with both eyes open instead of just 1 eye open.

someone reported b moniz sighting at the craps table in the cal on sunday. if he likes to gamble, i wonder who he picked….rebels maybe?…

The defensive coach for UC Davis, JasonFisk, played in the NFL from 1995-2006 with the Minnesota Vikings, Tennesee Titans, San Diego Chargers, Cleveland Browns and St. Louis Rams. He played in Super Bowl XXXIV, recording a sack of the Rams’ Kurt Warner, and came within one game of advancing to the Super Bowl with the Vikings during the 1997 season.

last year, if you took the early sunday am flight and if da warriors were on the road, they were usually on that flight. i would assume that nothing has changed.

but then i could be mistaken cause i was not on that flight this year.

Maybe was Bobby Moniz.

Or Barbara Moniz,

or Ba-chan Moniz…

kevin, if any of the players were at the cal, fremont, main street, golden nugget, 4 queens, or fitzgeralds, it would have been posted long ago. downtown is an extension of hawaii and anyone thinking you can go unnoticed there is drunk, stoned, or stupid.

So I know that Offer of the Day would be a great idea but any other tips would be much appreciated! thanks xxx

i knew i shoulda took his picture…..well i KNOW it was him….I guess we can leave it at that….but peoples…..it was just weird seeing him there after his 20 point fav team just lost by 20…..i wish he woulda used better sense that coming out to the casino after that loss….doesnt give you a good feeling about it all….maybe i watch too much tv…..

best way to find out, ST what flight did da warriors leave las vegas??? my feeling is that they left on the 1:30 or 1:55 am Hawaiian flight right after the game and no player had permission to extend their stay.

mih #135- Mahalo for saying what I was thinking.

mctruck- Alex Green’s hammy was acting up again…

Maybe D.Bright is doing some soul searching,maybe he had a class to make up hopefully it’s nothing serious but only those within the program know why he was absent….as for the injury he’s been playing with if he’s not able to do what he needs to out there the coaches should recognize that and let him heal I wouldn’t mind seeing A.Sampson starting again he held his own against PAC 12 corners and I also saw him constantly playing each play at full speed so I hope he gets a shot on Sat if D.Bright can’t go

So what big deal if Moniz was at the casino,it is after the game they have Sunday off,as long as he’s 21 it doesn’t matter,maybe he was spending someone with his family..

#196. Pardon the grammar/spelling. Got to proof read before posting.

So close.

Get AL for #200

Congratulations, Jojo!

Cheer loudly for those of us who cannot attend!!!

Go Warriors!

Pomai . . .

38 – 14.

Us!

Hi Tom!

Still at the office?

Sorry, but if Sunday is a mandatory day off, Moniz is 21+ years old, and got the coaches permission to go gamble off a few bucks I really don’t see what the big deal is.

primo123, i apologize. looks like jack flash confirmed your take. i am kinda amazed that the coaches complain about the trip being too long, then spend another day in vegas instead of coming home to rest and recover. just my take

#211,

Yeah that’s true.

” … The Pac-12 will not be getting any bigger. The conference announced Tuesday night that it would not expand, dousing speculation that it could be a destination for Big 12 schools Oklahoma and Oklahoma State and possibly Texas and Texas Tech.

Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott, who has been saying the league was not being proactive about adding schools, said the following in a statement:

“After careful review we have determined that it is in the best interests of our member institutions, student-athletes and fans to remain a 12-team conference. While we have great respect … ”

From USA Today sport section … link …

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/campusrivalry/post/2011/09/pac-12-larry-scott-no-expansion-oklahoma-texas-big-12/1

Ok then, I’ve met Jack Flash in person so easier to believe.

So with that being said, the implication of a student-athlete that is of age being at a craps table in Vegas means what??? Well, as Jack Flash mentioned “it’s all good”.

Sometimes when people present things on a blog, their intention is usually negative considering the context of the post when someone says “I wonder who he bet on… the Rebels???”.

Some people would prefer people to wallow in a black hole after a loss I guess.

iwwthm,

Of course. It makes sense, but a craps table ain’t that.

Of course the person that originally laid down the sighting wanted to portray the false image of just that… a potential violation and an assassination of character (in this case, a student-athlete).

Again the typical norm following a loss in which said person lost money on the game.

Again, gambling is a choice and no one forces one to play “easy money”.

whitey,

Well, I dunno what the accounting figures are, but you raise a legitimate question.

But there are other sports at UH that will end up paying the price for extended trips in their season for budgetary reasons.

Double-standard you know.

kevin, BINGO!!!!!!!!

But then little sisters and little brothers are busting their okoles to cover their end of the deal only to have mommy and daddy say no can because the big brothers come first but then….

NEVERMIND.

I better stop while Im ahead…. 👿

I still don’t take back what I said at 221, 224, and 225 though as it relates in SO MANY other ways.

Really I know that OOTD would be a good idea but any other tips would be very appreciated! thanks xxxxxxxxxxx

Do we know for a fact when or what flight the team returned on? And what time Mo was sighted?

Well, there weren’t any other players there that I recognized. Maybe Mo just switched to catch a later flight so he could be with some friends who made the trip? I dunno. Like I said before, he seems like a very cool person- very approachable. He even got up to shake some folk’s hands and give/receive hugs from some other bystanders.

chawan-cut

Mahalo!

#194 Thank you LizKauai….it’s 2:33pm, the Typhoon is scheduled to hit Tokyo in a couple of hours. It’s been raining since last night and the wind is beginning to pick up. American embassy is telling us the wind speed of the center of the Typhoon is 85 knots with gusts up to 120 knots.

Thanks again for the prayer….

#239,

I think he criticized how Mack shouldn’t put Parmesan cheese on seafood based pastas.

# 173: “someone reported b moniz sighting . . .”

# 187: “i knew i shoulda took his picture . . .”

# 188: “I called Coach T and he said he’ll handle it.”

If you tell the truth, there will be less you’ll need to remember.

It’s nice to hear Larry Scott talk a bit of sense about all of this.

The added competition of Texas, OU, OSU to the PAC12 would decimate and shame the bottom tier of the PAC…even more so than it is now.

There is hardly parity in the teams that exists now let alone adding schools like OU and Texas.

Wazzu, Colorado, Oregon St, UCLA may never see a bowl game for 20 years if the conference were to expand.

I believe Larry Scott about the Pac12 not expanding about as much as I do the Moniz gambling story.

Is Pinnochio running this blog tonight?

#248,

PAC-12 is not expanding tonight or even this week. You can take that to the bank.

#250 okay, next week then.

lol . . . just messing. Its just hard to believe anything with this conference talk. Everything is so darn secretive in college football. Just ask JJ . . . ooops

kev-1,

JJ secret was pretty well kept. Impressive imo.

#254 . . . totally agree. I actually just found out a couple weeks ago from reading an article about SMU that it was JJ that expressed interest. Here I thought the secret was the other way around.

congrads jojo! (thanks for da ticket, LizK!)

a wise uh supporter recently mentioned to me that we had enough time to book the flts from SEA to HNL and later the round trip from HNL to LAS.

yet, mgt claims they couldn’t find a flt.

things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmm.

#257,

I didn’t hear the show…but Coach’s remarks don’t seem to relate to the callers comments on UC Davis. Did the caller say something else offensive to him to rile him up?

We got back from Las Vegas a few hours ago. It was an enjoyable trip except for the game! It was a pleasure to meet the other Tsaikos at the Fiesta Henderson tailgate party. A special thank you to SteveM for the hospitality and the introductions. Also to Liz for the Pez dispenser and the Warrior stickers and the good conversation. Also it was nice to talk to Izzy and to WaFan about Washington where my son recently graduated from school The Tsaikos are a great bunch !

WAC just added on a new member for baseball – Dallas Baptist. They will dominate the WAC. Good thing UH getting out of the conference.

al – howzit brother! Gotcha! She should be returning from da 702 on wednesday.

Mistah Francis…..

I coming after you, Mistah Francis!

RIP Handsome Johnny Barend.

i wonda how much the raiders pay for their charter flights with hawaiian. know not cheap, but just curious.

281…thats one way to corner the market on athletic apparel and footwear.

kind of like what these bcs schools/conferences are doing eh?

“just wonderful. just wonderful, mr. francis.”

…johnny barend late -60’s early 70’s.

hey whitey…you should apply for that job of travel coordinator. it seems like they have a “vacancy”.

whitey…when are you going to lost wages?

going to phx first, then las on sun. you coming?????

next month.

297….hahaha. i spit my coffee out on my laptop at my own joke.

al, would love to do the travel part, but got something i working on, so no can do right now. i not working on beer drinking or taking in races to the dark side, but going try something old which is new. i not drunk. hahahahahaaaa

oh darn.

ok, an also have your ikura in the curing stage for at least one more month. this one is a winnah!!!!!

I guess Whitey is headed for the Philippines again, any stop over in Thailand this year?

Not sure why UH wouldn’t be able to charter flights.

It’s not like they only get their schedule 2 weeks before the start of football season.

As Tim Gunn would say “Make it Work, Make it Work.”

Charter flights worked well with Aloha but not with Hawaiian. Hawaiian doesn’t have enough planes to take out of circulation and dedicate to another chartered route.

As for direct routes to destinations already serviced by Hawaiian, (Vegas, Seattle, SF…) it makes more economical sense to simply fly on a regular flight rather than a chartered plane.

But,

Other schools have chartered larger planes to Hawaii. Extra seats aboard are then sold at a premium to boosters to raise money and offset the team’s travel costs. Might work for us at an LV game, but not to other destinations like Boise, or Wyoming.

Anyone up for a direct flight into beautiful, Las Cruces?

Was the Water Polo teams APR that bad?

In ’07 we tried to arrange for a charter flight to new Orleans. We talked with Omni and ATA. Both gave us the same info. To charter a flight, we needed to:

-Be a legitimate group or organization. A high school band or a church group would qualify. Not 350 of your closest friends.

-We could not make a charter flight, turn around try to resell the seats.

-We needed ground transportation available to and from the airport and hotels for all passengers.

-We had to give Omni and ATA a minimum 90 days notice on travel. They would in turn have to clear the route and time with the FAA. That in itself killed the buzz on the whole idea. =(

Someday, though. Someday we going charter a flight for the Tsaikos. =)

Oh lord… if Nike buys UA does that mean we’ll get the Nike belittling treatment and get our apparel and cash value CUT IN HALF???????

Maybe the Tsaiko group should make things “official” and set up a club/organization with bylaws etc and tax-exempt status.

A-Joe,

We could all fly into PHX and bus to Las Cruces, NM = about 6-7 hours with pit stops. 😀

Nah… too long a bus ride. Southwest doesn’t fly into Las Cruces…too bad.

GO WARRIORS!!!

You can buy lunch at the Grand Canyon… yeah, don’t feed the squirrels. They’re too fat already.

*smiling* at your jokes. Missed them.

I remember “Handsome” Johnny Barend. RIP.

A-Joe,

Glad you remembered what JD said about the charters. Hope Stretch put in his suggestion to Hawaiian about adding an extra flight for FB gamedays. That would be a winnah for the neighbor isles, Hawaiian Air and UH.

K, night all… Mom goes to LV tomorrow morning & I’m the taxi. Missing practice again.
