UH eyes the future
SUMMERLIN, NEV. — The Warriors reportedly are interested in 10 Las Vegas-area football prospects. The coaches are scheduled to visit schools this week.
One of the stops is expected to be Liberty High. Liberty bills itself as the “Ninth Island,” and its football team performs the haka before games.
* * * * *
The Warriors completed a 2-hour practice this morning at Palo Verde High. Because of the roster limit for road trips, several backup players were used on scout team. The most versatile was offensive tackle Brent Leonard, who played tight end and linebacker. Outside linebacker Vili Nauahi was used as a center.
* * * * *
Several of the assistant coaches decided to make the 4-mile walk from Palo Verde to the hotel after practice.
FIrst?
Good Morning All……….
Top 5 Cheehee
no surprise coach mac didnt walk back 4 miles, haaaaaaaahaaaaaaaa
have the coaches scheduled any official visits for recruits?
Aloha Kakahiaka!
As other have said, Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! It can be deceptive in the high desert.
top 10!
cheepono out bebe.
I’m not surprised that the coaches are heavily involved with recruiting during their Vegas stay. Given the ties between Vegas and Hawaii and the recruiting links between the coaches and Vegas high schools, this should be a great pipeline for UH. Tony Tuioti was a valuable aid in the decision process for several Vegas recruits last year and I’m sure that his contacts and reputation will help for years to come.
Here is the UH release for the UNLV game.
The more recruits the Warriors get from Vegas, the better the pipeline will be there. It doesn’t hurt that they have a good number of D-IA recruits and no BCS Conference team in the area. Also, UNLV has struggled for some time and if this season doesn’t go well their coaching staff needs to worry about their jobs–that instability must hurt their recruiting.
ST ~ Do you know if the team will do the haka at the LV game, or are they still working on getting it down?
Have a great day everyone.
Esme & out…
Wonder what the ratio of Warrior to Rebel fans will be this weekend at the game.
I’m glad the casinos got stuck with so many packages. GREED KILLS. Anyway, at least 220 Tsaikos will be whooping it up together.
Watched about a quarter & a half of the replay against WSU last night on FSNW. The team look SOLID! Gonna have to let out all the built of frustration of being secluded all week. D is hitting hard, and the O-line looks great. Green is a fast dude, as is Bradley. ‘Nuff can’t be said about Salas. A win this week will give them so much confidence for the rest of the season.
Good morning Gang! top twenty!
Aloha Tsaikoland! Another day closer to the Warriors running the rebels out of their own stadium. After week one of the Blog Bowl FFB league, your winners this week were Pauoa Boy, Hawaiianbod, Homey, Committed Road Warrior and 808Chef. They are all 1-0. The rest of us have a goose egg in the W column. Hope everyone has a good one today!
Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂
Top Twenny!
May I ask a favor? Could someone make me a copy of the UNLV game if you have it on PPV this Saturday, please? It’s not going to be re-broadcast by KFVE.
Mahalo nui loa!
That Liberty program is up and coming with Hawaiian players in the Vegas area. Hawaii walk on Sage Nua played there, i was surprised he was not heavily recruited. I dont know if he still is, but former St Louis QB Joey Charles was an assistant there last year. Vegas is a great recruiting ground for UH. (for baseball as well)
Hopefully, this new injected pump in the offense can continue which I’m sure top prospects will want to be a part of. – I just love the coaching change!! Mack is a genius!!
g’mornin tsaikos! just my daily reminder; GO Warriors!! IMUA NA KOA!!!make the running rebels run backwards!!!
slugger
confirming with K5 if there’s any delayed re-broadcast on game day
like they normally do for away games and repeat next day morning.
will advise findings
Good morning all:
I’ve confirmed with the UH Athletics media office that the UNLV game will only be seen on PPV at 5 pm here in Hawai`i. It MAY be shown again on CSN channel later on; more important, however, is that there will be No, I repeat, NO free re-broadcast on K5 as of this writing.
This is particularly disturbing to us because we were planning to go to a near-2-UH sports bar to see the first half of the game before heading on up to the Stan Sheriff Center to see the Wahine play Pepperdine. We planned to get back home in time to watch/record the rebroadcast, but now that is not possible.
Therefore, to echo Slugger’s #16 – is anyone with PPV able to make a DVD for us to pick up on Sunday?
Mahalo.
Therefore, we’d like to echo
Therefore, we’d like to echo???? Have no idea where that came from!!
Good morning Tsaikos….woo hoo…one more day til Vegas baby….Awwwwrriiiiggghhhhttt!!!!
Have no idea where that last line came from in my earlier post!! The gremlins around here are hard at work.
Top 25!
Same place the team may be headed….keep racking up the “W’s”!
what ever happened to Sage Nua from Liberty?
summa da guyz ova hea are fluent in sarcasm. there is a site for deze kine guyz. hopefully not here. peeps here support UH football.
bhf2,
you kill me. Fluent in sarcasm! How many times have you used this phrase in your line of work? How many times you went tell Doreen dat?
hahaha. Have a GREAT time in Vegas!
TYaiea ~ “Make the Rebels Run Backwards!” I like that idea. With our defense, that could be a reality!
WIN WARRIORS!
got an email out to a relative at K5
waiting for response…will advise
they showed WSU game twice and nothing for UNLV…
doesn’t make sense
Looks like we got the game in New York on CBSCHD at 11pm Sat nite. Wac em Warriors!
Congrats to Alexander and Parades! And to all the coaches for keeping the team on track!

Good morning Tsai-kos!
WDoc – According to the schedule, it’ll be on CBS Sports Channel. I haven’t tried downloading from my dvr yet, so we’ll see how it goes.
chopsueyboy,
I spoke to Dan Schmidt (sp?) this morning at KFVE. They are definitely not re-broadcasting the game in Hawai’i. PPV is the only access. I’m so sad. “The Mountain” (MTN) channel is broadcasting in the Mountain West only. KFVE could not get the rights to their film to re-broadcast here. So, PPV is the only way we in Hawai’i can view the game.
Thanks for putting the effort in to check.
IMUA….WARRIORS….TOUCHDOWN!!! (courtesy of BG)

SteveM – from last post – bad visual! j/k 😆
RE: EH NO MAKE !- thank you for your observations, and much respect for supporting UH athletics. I think I recall that June Jones got his basic offense ideas from Mouse Davis, who worked closely with both June and Ron Lee. They are all intertwined (unless my memory faulters.) The Rolo playcalling was awesome against WSU, and the receivers seemed to be much more in synch with the QB. Could this be the affect of Ron Lee directly concentrating his efforts on the receivers? I would say yes! By the way, the sky looks clear and blue to me today with white puffy clouds floating around lazily in the mid-morning air.
Onward to Vegas and 3 & O! GO WARRIORS!!!
EH NO MAKE !,
You may be right, but what purpose is served by throwing Ron under the bus.
I agree with you the results are obvious. For me, that’s enough. The fact that a huge change was made after one game — a win — says a lot about Coach Mack’s dedication to being competitive, and giving the players every chance they need to make this a winning program.

Aloha Dennis,
I’m afraid the UN-UNLV football game will not be seen on K5. The rights to the telecast are owned by a cable network called The Mountain, and despite an extremely lengthy negotiation, the Mountain was only willing to make the game available to pay-per-view customers in Hawai’i.

RE: #33 – Don’t forget ST and the “Naviguesser” usually don’t take the direct route.
jm2375,
Mahalo for the CBS Sports Channel info; is that a regular cable channel or only available with a sports package on Oceanic? I’ll go check.
For those who are not making it to Las Vegas this weekend:
Genji will have the game on in HD. No mention of a buffet this weekend. Order food off the menu. If you’d like to go to Genji’s, please let me know, so I can save seats. I’m being the virtual SteveM this weekend while he’s cheering for us in LV. Mahalo!
EH NO MAKE !,
good post dont listen to the dogs that have fleas
EH NO MAKE ! – Exactly!
Good afternoon from LV, Tsaikos & Tsaiketts, Lurkers & Lurkettes!
We “just” landed and are on our way to the hotel.
Team already arrived safely. Safe travels to all Tsaikos & Lurkers/ettes! Looking forward to meeting more WB peeps!
= )
Also looking forward to watching another UH fb road game. Only my third so exciting to experience a different school’s sportsmanship. lol. Actually I pray for a peaceful rivalry between fans too.
Go-o-o-o-o Warriors!!!
eh no make !

tell ron to his face.
hah, i’ll bet you never show face in public.

#32, route along Pavillion Center and Alta is basically downhill to Sun Coast. Unfortunately, not much shade along the way. But, nice walk
without lots of traffic noise/fumes.
Rich,
Maybe they went via Costco, but I didn’t see anyone with UH colors etc.
at noon. Didn’t check the local watering hole if they stopped in for lunch

Thanks for your work!
So A-House posted using my phone two days ago and I forgot to change to my blog name…
Post #44 belongs to me, UHfan808…
Sowee Mr. A-House! 😀
I have been saying posting my dislikes with the Ron Lee play calling from the 3rd game of last year that he needed to be replaced. May I be as bold to suggest that he be replaced at wide receivers coach as well? Cant we find a title for him like “director of local recruiting” or something. If this offense keeps rolling I just see a problem down the road with Rolo being held back a bit if he and Lee is not on the same page. I would much rather see Rolo have full reign and total control of the offense. maybe i’m being a little harsh on Lee, but if the game has passed you, the game has passed you…
702 – You would have died laughing in Fresno last year. I was in the car w/ ST and “Ferd” driving to dinner. JD, RK, and BC were following us. We must have driven 30 min in a complete circle. “Ferd” was positive the restaurant was “close”. Another 30 min of driving, and we finally find somewhere to eat about 15 miles from the hotel. “Ferd” swore he followed directions from the bell boy at the hotel. Needless to say, RK and BC had that look like “oh no, not AGAIN”.
Sad to hear that we won’t be getting replays outside of PPV. This whole TV deal sucks. Will have to settle for listening on 1420 AM again since my schedule won’t allow me to go to a bar and watch it.
Hey all you LV Warriors, make beeeeeeg noise to hype up the boys. Wanna see some helmets flying.
A-House,
Enjoy the game! Yell for us. As long as you’re sitting in the midst of UH football fans, you’ll be safe. It was at the interface of UH & LV fans that the beer was flying at the 2007 game. They had mounted police on the field after the game.
GO WARRIORS!!!
UH: 30
UNLV: 17
UHFan808 – I got worried about A-House saying it was only his 3rd road game…lol…See you and the gang real soon!
Hi Pomai!
UHfan808- UH 32 : UNLV 28
Thank you much!
The home team has the TV rights to the game, which is why playing the MWC is hard on fans from other conferences–the top MWC game goes to VS, which is not available on DirecTV and some cable systems, and other games are on mtn or CBS CS which are missing from many systems.
CBS CS has the right to show replays of the game anytime they want, so I’m not surprised that K5 doesn’t get to show a replay. UH doesn’t even get any of that TV money that is going to UNLV from their TV deal. This is one thing to consider when it is suggested that UH play at UNLV every year. UNLV gets the ticket revenue (aside from the $10 surcharge UH sold for a small amount of tickets), the concession revenue, the TV revenue, and Las Vegas gets the revenue from all the people going to their city for the game.
Still, this is better than playing at Washington State…they are so low on the pecking order for Pac-10 TV games that it was almost impossible to see the game outside of PPV in Hawaii and Fox sports in Washington. Even the multisport packages that normally allow others to see all college games on the Fox Sports channels were blacked out (for the first time that I’d ever heard of).
i thought that mike wadsworth played well on special teams. he is like a heat seeking missile out there. too bad he goes on a mission next year.
The playcalling debacles started @ Florida in my opinion. We started getting away from what got us to be sucessful…and that’s throwing the ball all day everyday. The 2008 offense seemed much more deliberate in trying to establish a running game, and the passing game (and offensive stats as a whole) suffered.
The “we’re gonna run more and be more balanced” thing didn’t work out. Look at how quickly they abandoned the QB under-center experiment after spending a great amount of time working on it in the Spring of ’08.
I definitely agree that the playcalling this past weekend was much more spreadout and wide open. For a moment, I thought coach jones was still at UH.
Sowee Slugger, dat wuz me posting! I just told him btw! He says, “Hi there, Slugger!”
hehe
See you soon Rich!
re: #57
I liked seeing Wadsworth and Tonga out there on special teams. Seeing these 2 on the sidelines at the UCA game, you can tell they were ready to contribute immediately as True Freshmen both physically and skills-wise.
wow, 32 points is such a hard score to get.
Slugger
I’ll record the game for personal enjoyment …. what’s your email?
yup, forgot to mention auloa tonga.
i wonder if they both will go together on their two year hiatus?
Howzit Everybody,
You know what I say about this whole playcalling, OC, wide receiver coach thing is, who the heck cares. Just as long as we are winning games and the coaches are on the same page. I say, give it a rest.
I guess this the only thing to talk about when your team goes 2-0 and looking to go 3-0 going into Ruston. Heh if I was this much of a cynic then I would probably be speaking the same language as some of our posters but you know what life is way to short to be grumbling about every little thing that bothers you. Like I said before don’t jump down anyones throat just yet. Heh under Mack we are 9-7 beginning his second year. It could be a lot worse. Just enjoy the ride.
Rich
LOL,maybe a GPS will help, if they know how to input dest. address.
GPS with voice recognition may just be what the doc. ordered.
See you soon….
j-dog….you right. you on it today.
that would take four tds with one missed pat, a fg and a safety.
or four td’s two missed pat’s and two fg’s.
or ten fg’s and a safety
or…..ah neva mind.
UHFan808,
heehee… Have fun!
702WarriorNation,
Sounds like you made it to practice today. Hi to the Mrs.
wouldn’t that make a great contest…
guess the asst coaches who took the four mile city walking tour?
kama krab…..yup.
…nuff said
Slugger/WDoc,
Will be DVRing the game on PPV, but will not be downloading till after 26 Sep. Will be in LV 22-26 Sep. Let me know on this blog if you’re interested.
UHFan808 I thought A-House was getting hip by saying “WB peeps”.. I thought he may have drank from the fountain of youth or taken pills advertised in the emails I get so often..
GA as QB1 in the Swamp vs GA as QB1 in Qwest?
Huge difference!
IMHO what was available to the OC at the beginning of last season didn’t allow for much more than what was called.
Hah? He was doing the same thing for the Former Coach that he did last week…..from the same spot! 🙄
UHFan808,
Good ting you clarified dat….
never thot A-house would ever smile like dat! = )
Was wundrin’ wat happen to him up there?!?!
Mahalo, SumTinWong! I’ll get your em address from SteveM tonight. Don’t want to post it on the blog; too much email. Mahalo again!
You know going back to last year.
Yes the offense was not the same as years past with June Jones slingshot offense but the offense probably would not have been the same with June Jones here anyway. We had new players in almost every position. What did everyone really expect from these guys. Yes these kids our recruit with the presumption that they are ready for the big time but in most cases this is not true. So I ask again what did everyone really expect from these guys.
Last year we were forced to be more balanced and throw in a running game so that it would take the strain off of the O-line and give time for the QB’s to learn the offense. Of course this did not work according to plan but is was not for a lack of trying.
I guess what I’m trying to say is the past is the past. Do not dwell on something that is already over. As we have seen within the past two games, some of our concerns from last year have been fixed but there is still a lot that needs to done before we become an elite mid-major. This will not happen in just two years. It might not even happen in three years but I know that it will happen. The framework is being put in place for a solid program to be built. What June Jones left us was just a blue print of things to come. What Mack is doing is putting it into action and I am sure we will see these fruit of labor coming to fruition soon. Like I said just enjoy the ride.
Slugger,
Nope, didn’t know what time it started.
Had another apptmt to go to unfortunately.
Will pass to da boss…. off for a walk in the sun, later.
eh D1,
You beat me to the punch with a lot shorter post.
Short and sweet
No more amo no can shoot
You put amo and look what happens
Hi SumTinWong — long time no see!
Reminded me of the last days of the Sugar Bowl ticket scramble that Garret was coordinating at the end. We needed tickets. I was being cc’d on most emails so saw the developments… Iwonderwhytheyhate came out of nowhere and said he could get 4 tickets–but being a student (back then), he did not have the money. SumTinWong offered to meet Iwonderwhytheyhate me at the box office and pay for the tickets that eventually got to Garret for distribution. No one had ever met each other before at the time. So their names stand out in my memory… 🙂
By the way before I’m off,
just got this from Sun Coast for those interested.
7X floor wide points on Fri, Sat. & Sun.
Plus 2 for 1 buffet coupon will be in LV Review Journal on Fri paper.
Can you imagine if the team got hold of coupons and had their
Fri nite meal at the buffet ?????
Rich2176 ~ My Tickets taken care of. See you in LV. WM has 3 left for sale if you know of anyone needing tickets for the Tsaiko section.
Just heard from Wafan. He made one last ditch effort to spring djmitcho. 4 letter word beginning with ‘W’ got in the way. Grrr…
Can’t believe people are still harping on the Coach for last year’s playing style. You do what you gotta do. If you don’t have the personnel to run one style to a ‘T’, you run another. That’s what any good coach would do. You play with whatever cards are dealt you. You don’t go for a straight if you have two pairs in your hand. And you don’t bet the house on an Ace, high. Still a great coach would get you where you needed to get to, using whatever ‘strategy’ his hand had forced him to play. Personally, I think getting our ‘left over’ Warriors to a bowl game last season was pretty outstanding.
AND, from the looks of the recruits that are playing today, RnS was obviously ALWAYS on McMackin’s mind. Not only did he recruit a few outstanding receivers and a running back… he reloaded on defense AND inspired all his players to really work out over the off season and work on their playbook understanding.
We may not be up to beating Florida yet.. but we’re a long way from where we were last season and the foundation (underclassmen, redshirts and grayshirts) is looking pretty darn good. The present looks good and the future looks promising. I like that.
eh, we’re 2 and 0. Can’t complain about that.
Kekoa – glad it worked out. Tell wafan to tell DJMitchO to tell “w” he won’t have to pay for a hotel. I’ve got an extra room booked at Harrah’s til Monday.
There is ONE and ONLY ONE ticket remaining from my allotment. I accidentally sent Ronnie 10 instead of 9.
I think there may be a few others available – w-mojo (3), djmitcho (1)…
Heard from RainbowCliff, and he indicated he may drive up if there were seats, so let’s make this work!!

No doubt. Totally agree with you on this one.
Got your back man.
my guess would be rolo and bsmith
REMINDER!!!!!
There is a book contest that awards 50,000 books to the state with the most votes.
It is easy to vote. All you have to do is visit the website once a day (17 days left) and choose Hawaii, and click to vote. You don’t have to fill in the other spots. Just go to the box that asks where you want 50,000 books to be sent, find Hawaii and click. AND YES, YOU ONLY HAVE TO CLICK ON *WHERE DO YOU WANT THE BOOKS TO GO….ITS THE ONLY REQUIRED FIELD.
I’ve included the link: http://booksforkids.firstbook.org/whatbook/about.php
Come on Tsaikos – make like it was voting for Jasmine Trias!!!
I’m bring my laptop/notebook so I can vote from Las Vegas!
GO WARRIORS!
My chance for the soap box. You know, there’s a lot of smart guys on this blog. Lots of analysts who knows what’s wrong with the coaches and players. Me, I’m just a Warrior supporter. I put money on UH whether tey’re the favorite or underdog. If they win big…terrific! If they win by small margin…terrific! If they lose but played a good game…terrific! My wife and I went to New Orleans (big bucks) like many other warrior supporters. We lost big…but we were there to support them. I just enjoy watching our team…without analyzing what went wrong…cause I’m not that smart. I’m a Na Koa member and make my donations…no questions asked. Go Warriors!!! Kick some Butts!!! Running Rebels run with tail between their legs!!!

Good afternoon.
Safe journey to all travellers!
I too would be interested in a copy of the game. Thanks in advance!

I’m interested in those three tickets. Who do I see?

SteveM ~ Have you heard from Longdistance 808 lately?
He did a Commando raid on the Sugar Bowl. Stayed over night at my place and was on the 1st flight out of NOLA early the next morning.
Thanks for updating the Tsaiko Travel Matrix Steve!
Tom Mui,
Would appreciate it if you posted the link daily. Makes it easy for us lazy guys.
Hope you and Lois have a good time in Vegas.
What does it say about our stadium when you can attend a game in LV but not one in Aloha Stadium (because there are no rails along the stairs)?

i know, like i said they need their flea meds
The Kula Kai must be nearby… lots of trolling today…
remember guys we are only 2-0, we have a long season ahead of us, i liked the coaching move and agree with a lot of the people here that say we needed this for a while, nothing against coach lee he has outstanding knowledge of the game but sometimes that doesn’t translate to a great play caller, and as about rolo it was only one game(and i liked what he did) i’ll give it a couple more until i can instill my complete faith in him……….go warriors
Re: #93
Kekoa — No contact. longdistance808 had moved to the Seattle area last year (?) and he did post that he would try and meet the Tsai-kos up there last weekend. I did not notice anyone mention him meeting them.
Anyone know what the updated status is for former Liberty High LB Sage Nua?…who was supposed to walk-on for Warriors.

Bad news for all attending the UH functions in LV and looking at the giveaways; Revicchio Chocolate will not make it; the chocolate succumbed to conditions totally under my control.
Sideline passes & coffee will be there.
See you Thursday afternoon.
bfhf2: the cell when you get a chance late Thursday/
No shipping date yet on the bike. Now I need to see how to get it to either San Jose or closer to get on a plane. I’ll see the trainers and check what planes are scheduled down the road.
ack…what is this “w”? I’m not even sure what it is. I’m guessing if I don’t mail that ticket out tomorrow, it will not be able to get where it needs to go.
Never mind, I know what this “W” is now…took me a while to figure it out.
As a matter of fact, I am leaving that place now and going home.
and yours is? Ha! Small man with an even smaller mind.
You and your snide remarks! Take your wisecracks to another blog and see how long you last there before peeps start screaming for you to get your a$$ off their board. You keep setting new records at that.
Warrior Mojo was right, you are pathetic!
UH should consider television rights in its negotiations with other conferences for games.
No K5 replay this weekend, eh? too bad.
funny thing is we all love warrior football.
TYaiea you are one good fan.

Pomai!
For some of the A-House Family:
MasaBoy- UH 38 : UNLV 21
A-House- UH 37 : UNLV 19
Eh no Make and guava2:
Cage match. Sat Night. Blaisdell Arena. 8 p.m. BJ can ref.
Plenny action ova hea.
Wafan mentioned something when he called from Seattle this morning. He was interested in finding out if Na Koa could afford to send at least a small contingent of UH band members on the road. It would help crank up the cheering section like they do at the VB matches.
A drum & bugle or drumline with horns…anything to light the fire!
The problem with the offense really has just been that we got spoiled. We had one of the..check that…two of the greatest college football offensive minds on the UH coaching staff – Junes Jones and Mouse Davis – in recent years. There’s no getting around that it’s a big step down from June/Mouse to Ron/Rolo.
June was not only a great mid-game adjuster, his offense was perfect for a team like UH – a school that will never have the caliber of athlete that a USC, Florida or Oklahoma will get. We were just spoiled by having the NFL-level mind of June and now having Ron Lee. Mack’s a great defensive coach, but probably clueless on the real intricacies of June’s run-and-shoot that we got used to.
I think that Rolo’s experience playing successfully in June’s offense will be a major part of his success in coaching it vs. Ron. There’s something to be said for actually being on the field and executing it, as opposed to watching and analyzing it as Ron has. So I do believe Rolo will come closer to matching the offense June had going.
Just my two cents…and I hope they kill it this weekend…Go Warriors!
#117….Be there…Aloha…MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Lighten up people. We can all voice our opinion on this blog. No need for name calling or other BS. We are all entitled to an opinion and can discuss our one love, UH FOOTBALL (which we all have in common). Relax, chillax, whatever…just be courteous to one another and all is well with the world…. Unless DPK is there…..MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA Sorry man, love you man…. 🙂
Be in Vegas soon to catch up with the other 200 Tsaikos….Awwwwwwriiiiiiggghhhhtttt!!!!
UHfan808 ~ Since you are on scene. Is the Aloha center in the CA hotel the clearinghouse for the slot tourneys?
So, anything exciting happen the past few months?
SumTinWong – if get extra educational and entertaining disks, may I pls have one? Mahalo!
Glad to see the Warrior faithful gathering in LV…
2 more days!
Please don’t feed the trolls.
HiHo!
SteveM- just went back to look at the old blog- thanks for the reminder… swimsuit! I always forget to bring my swimsuit!
check.
Hi Homey!
Hola Homey!
Hi homes! howwuz yer vakay?
Homeyyyyyyyy.
They really should look into renaming the California Hotel to the “Kama’aina Hotel “.
I’m good, not all good, but good.
Where should I go the watch the game this Saturday…hmmmmmm
hapahaoleboy,
I still must defer my opinion on the Ron Lee and Rolo combination vs June Jones and McKnight. Remember, Ron was JJ’s receiving corps coach. JJ’s success may have very well benefited considerably by Ron’s ability to clearly understand and translate what JJ was envisioning.
Last season, Ron and McMackin combined their talents and brought our Warriors to a bowl game. We lost a couple that we shouldn’t have and won a couple that we weren’t supposed to. But the Warriors did it with 2 returning offensive starters. JJ and McKnight fared far worse even with B. Mitchell as QB.
This year, both teams are off to a 2-0 start. It’s arguable who has played tougher teams to start.
Often, I have found that genius isn’t the leader, him/herself, but more in the people s/he surrounds him/herself with.
So, we shall see, we shall see.
Hey, everyone!
It was another beautiful day in the PNW. A high of 78 in Seattle, around 80 down here. Sunny skies after the clouds burned off.
Finally caught up with the blog. Sheesh! That was quite a bit.
MLiz – It was a partial vacation. A bulk of the time was assisting the oldest move from Washington to California…and Mafia Wars…LOL!
homey – is that really you?
Where were you these last few months? (trick question)
political correctness dropped my typing rate from 88 wpm to 44 wpm… and my thinking process down to 10 wpm.
Homey – why didn’t you contact us for a LoCalCall? Shame
Sumtinwong . . .
When you have a copy the the UNLV game available I would be interested in obtaining one. How do I contact you? Cost?
Question. Was your name Sumtingwong? Or did I just imagine the first “g”?
welcome back Homey…
Howzit Homes! ~
Q: What exciting event did you miss?
A: BG and W/Doc leading the cheers at Genji’s!
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
My question to you:
Q: Where will you watch the UH game this week?
Looking forward to the UNLV game and trip.
Will Aloha Stadium eventually learn to cut alcohol sales earlier in the game to help prevent uncivil behavior by the fans?
homey –
Please let your daughter know that she can call me if she needs anything – I’m like 20 minutes away from her school.
Richie and Ronnie – We were soooo busy. By the time we got back to the Hotel is was almost midnight. Next time under favorable conditions I’ll give you 2 a call. I’ll email both of you later for contact info just in case assistance is required.
Kekoa,
Poker Tourney at the Cal on Friday starting at 5:00 PM
I’ll wander the streets of Mililani looking for a garage open with a bunch of people watching the game.
Homey, in case you missed it and you still want to see it,
The last Coach Mac Show is up on KGMB’s website.
http://kgmb9.com/main/content/view/21080/245/
Kekoa Part 2
We need to plan to get some band members on the road. San Jose might be a good choice.
Gwen may be able to help schedule band but we will need to get plane reservations and hotel rooms set up via Panda (unless one of us works for a hotel chain and/or airline).
Let me know if there is enough demand and if we want to work on this to make it happen.
Na Koa can help with logistics with UH.
mih – what is the website to watch the game free? Justintv? channelsurfing.net? lol
Yep, saw the last Mac Show. Thanks.
I see Pomai has been using my same score prediction from the last 2 seasons!
Maybe even get some alumni band members on the mainland mixed in with those that can make it? Like the cheerleaders did?
🙂
Homey… Justin.tv
but it’s a hit or miss when it’s only in Dish and Direct TV.
Howzit homey! Long time no harass you. j/k
I bet there’s a specific house in Mililani, one with a UH flag flying belonging to some pink side mom blog master… 😆
Scott Robbs was talking about UNLV this morning. In years past, the UNLV students would show up to the game already drunk and by the end there’d be fights among themselves, so it ain’t all the Hawaii fans doing the misbehaving…
Howzit homey!
mih,
Alumni cheerleaders? Risky! 😯
Uh-oh!
Blog Host Problem….
Wow!
He tweets and twitter overloads! Amazing!
jm2375:
The UNLV students stay the entire game? Props to them if they do.
In the many ASU games I’ve been to, the students show up for the game plastered, and then many proceed to leave at halftime to pursue “other interests,” regardless of the score or opponent.
Leodis McKelvin’s front lawn vandalized last night. Uncool!
http://tinyurl.com/q3a2zk
Got it mih!!!!
jm#### – harass? A mosquito is 100 times worse. BWAHAHAHA
Don Weir ~ Thanks again for the additional info. There seems to be a huge turnout of expat local people these days (winning does that). Any musical encouragement to cheer the team on works! I think it’ll be worth the effort for the SJS game.
I’m working with Pomai right now on another project for the team. It should be something we can build on when we all return from Vegas. It’s actually something Brian K. started and we can help finish.
Get better soon, Stephen!
should the ncaa adapt the “no alcohol rule” that the pac10 has?
d1…
They (alumni cheerleaders) do the posturing .. the two – three in the middle do the real flips and pyramid. Who knows? Maybe do a graceful hula or two during half time.
AND if they can bring family .. friends… relatives… other estranged, alumni
to the games to cheer on the Warriors/Bows/Wahine… it’s all good.
BUT, I bet a lot of alumni band members might want to relive the moments just for free parking and tickets (okay maybe some will need lodging too).
HF is apparently one of the candidates for UNLV’s Athletic Director position. For UNLV’s sake, I’m glad that they heard how he did at UH. However, he apparently is on good terms with UNLV’s President, so maybe he’ll be able to use that connection to get the job…
….currently 91 degrees in Vegas.
expected low of 73.
mih,
Well I guess if they can still fit the uniform…. 😆
d1,
Weren’t there a couple for the Seattle game?
Wassammatta… HF not happy where he’s at?
Don Weir,
Main thing dem chocolates were good!
Hi, Homes! I’m sure there will be lots of places to watch the game this weekend. I’m walking to Genji; don’t need a DD that way.
GRM also offered to make a copy of the game for anyone who is interested. Reply on the blog. (I always want to write “RGM”. Wonder what he’s doing?)
HF … never has so little been done with so much by any one individual in UH athletics… as such, I hereby nominate HF for the first ever… “Dobelle Award.”
At least his exit brought to light a lot of shortcomings in the accounting practices and administration of UH and the Athletics Department. Hopefully, there will be greater transparency in the future.
ST~
Hope it’s just food poisoning and not the flu. It’s nasty! Get well!
GRM:
I’m interested..I know offer was to Sluggger/WDOC..Thanks!
Oh boy.. ST’s not feeling well? Better go see a doc. They might not let you on the return plane if you’re running a fever.
For Kazz and other vb fans, the recruit at the Stanford game is believed to be 6’3 Michelle Waber out of Eisnore, Ca and 951 Elite club. same-o as Alexis Forsythe. UH has 4 scholarships for 2010 with 3 verbals to date. Does this mean that the two transfers this year are already on scholarship with Tuaniga. Houston, Keefe and Thomas graduated last year, that would account for all three. Shoji mentioned that he might save a scholarship so that he can control the number of scholarships turn over each year-is three the magic number?
For Kazz Rainbowtique tweets that the coaches Polos are now available.
ST tweets that he might have food poisoning. But losing at the table can give you the same gut wrenching feeling too 🙂
mih,
Do you think if a short list, ok, a loooonnnnnggggg list of HF lack
of accomplishments at UH should be listed on the article’s remarks.
If he became AD at UNLV, I bet the first action he’ll direct to his staff,
if he gets around to doing it will be to cancel all FB contracts with UH.
With UNLV and the State of Nevada’s financial problems especially in
its education budget, I wouldn’t want to have him here being the prime
example of what a “Procrastinator” looks like. Not a good example to the students.
Wonder why the poster who googled HF didn’t mentioned HF’s prior lack of accomplishments prior to UH?
Hope if ST needs to go to emergency, he doesn’t go to UMC.
Other better alternatives are available- unless his H/Ins. (wasn’t it Summerlin)doesn’t allow him to go elsewhere.
Summerlin or Mountain View would be my preferred hospital based on
my limited contact at each.
702WarriorNation,
That’s twice in a row that HF left his previous post under less than complimentary circumstances. I don’t know how he is doing now, but he’s only been there for a year. Can’t be good.
kama krab #64
you hit it on the head. so what that they made a change! they won and it looks to be a more productive move. people need to relax. btw, coach mack didn’t need to inform the media of the change in the 1st place. guy shows some professional courtesy and a few degenerates take the opportunity to throw crap at the program.
the best thing about rolo’s play calling, was the amount of that lame shuffle pass plays which was 1. if jj was calling the game, he would have called for the shuffle about 12-15 times.
against wsu, i thought i saw brian smith on the sidelines…
hopefully alexander will be able to hit the slots quickly so he doesn’t have to deal with the pass rush. doubt if unlv is dumb enough to rush only 3. it’ll be a nice romp if they do though.
Tressel said he has received critical e-mails, but said the fans’ poison makes him feel sorry for them.
“When I read some of them I feel terrible for them because there’s no way they’re happy,” he said. “They’ve got to be some of the most unhappy people in the world, and I feel bad because we just made them less happy, and I hate to be a part of making someone less happy. I mean, they’re already miserable.”
http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/20090915/BREAKING02/90915032/CFB++Tressel’s+honeymoon+with+Ohio+State+fans+at+an+end?
ops, sorry didn’t mean to post the link.
didn’t submit post too…….
Wonder if Tressel’s sentiments is applicable to some on WB?
I hope that ST is okay! Food poisoning is especially bad to get in Vegas because then it kills the appetites for buffets…
mih,
Guess we’ll need to check out his accomplishments or lack thereof.
Or, maybe we shouldn’t waste time or effort looking.
Wonder if his boss is keeping a tight rein on him esp. his travel and
expense accts.
I agree that HF had problems with his Alabama-Birmingham Athletic Director record before UH, but that obviously didn’t stop UH from hiring him. With his track record at both spots, I’d really hate it for UNLV to hire him. Having a strong program at UNLV is good for UH given the ties between the two schools. And what if HF tries to dump the UH games and schedule Temple for UNLV?
noboda yu #181
I belive it’s actually a “shovel” pass. And the reason Rolo didn’t run many, is proabably because WSU had no pressure on Alexander. The shovel pass is a great way to counter a hard rush on the QB. If the O-line keeps the D-line in check and gives Alexander a great pocket, there’s no need for too many shovel passes. It’s just like a screen play when you have a QB under center. It’s not like JJ called them because he loved the name of the play, it’s that he used it to counter the fact that our O-line would constantly get beat. It helps alleviate pressure on the QB. The lack of the shovel pass against WSU is more a testament to a solid outing by our O-line than a difference in play-calling preference between Rolo and JJ.
Good point Garret.
Hope work is settling down so that you don’t need to work while family is here.
Wonder if ST is staying with the team or on the strip?
SunTinWong,
I sent you an email. Hope the em addy I got from SteveM is still valid. Thanks!
hapahaoleboy-
I didn’t see the game, only listened on espn 1420.
Was it also a lack of talent on WSU d/line to apply pressure on QB?
I believe after the game with UNLV, we’ll know if our O/L is in improvement mode since their D/L will be pressuring a lot with some good linebackers play too.
Also concern with their tall wide reciever and running backs. They have some speed too, but I believe we’ll be able to take care.
Howzit Tsaikos.
boy o boy o boy. da feelings of pulling da legs an levers is coming on stgrong! my heart is starting to seeze up. 😆
Rich 2176,
no give away all da tix. 😆
702WarriorNation,
Work is pretty calm right now, just trying to get some computer simulations done while waiting to hear about the other proposals. NSF finalized the review of the first of the proposals (the official release is out now) and they started reviewing the second of 3 that we submitted. The Navy contract (the one that was supposed to start in January) should be finally done this week.
I actually get to take the entire weekend off while we’re in Vegas! This will be the first time in a long time that I don’t have to work while on a family trip. It will be great to see you and your wife this weekend.
SumTinWong,
long time no see brdda.
702WarriorNation
Yes…the boys will definitely face a bigger test this week. I guess it was hard to tell if it was more improved play by our O-line or a weak performance from WSU. Hopefully, it was more the prior than the latter. I’m curious to see how much attention Salas gets this week from their D after two great outings in a row. That might help keep them from sending too many LBs at Alexander, knowing that Salas could come across the middle every play from the slot.
ST,
maybe just a matter of the ol’heart burn from too much da-da-kind,(whatever u ate too much off). Four/five rolaid tablets should do the trick.
Any Tsai-kos leaving Friday afternoon?
hapahaoleboy:
If they d/cover Salas, then it’ll open up for the WRs and other slot.
Would like to see a lot of running against UNLV too!
Pedal to the metal !
Garret,
Glad to hear this will be relaxation trip and great for the girls at Circus too.
See you Sat at CiCis
The MWC TV contract is really bad for their fans. Nevada is playing at Colorado State this weekend and it will not be televised anywhere! The mtn network decided to not show the game and they will not let it be shown anywhere else!
K5 could not be given the right to show a replay of the game even if the mtn network wanted to let them…local TV stations are *not* allowed to show the games due to the MWC’s TV contract. At least fans in Hawaii have PPV, Nevada fans do not even have that option.
Last couple of idle thoughts from Seatown before catching my 7:20 am flight tomorrow morning .
The Warriors are getting really good publicity out of this victory. The game was shown again last night at about 9:00 pm. on FSN. Yesterday’s Seattle Post had a blurb about how Hawaii averaged 9.9 yards per play so who cares about 3 yards and a cloud of dust. Tonight Wazzu announced that Lopina has been benched in favor of Lobestahl or whatever the QB’s name is and/or a true frosh that Wazzu planned to redshirt. The local news keeps showing clips of Warrior plays every time they talk about Wazzu’s problems. Also, great bragging rights for the local WA kids like Wright-Jackson, Brown, etc. Awesome.
I agree with the praise being heaped upon our younger players on D, but one kid that deserves recognition is Geordan Hanohano. I agree with Big Hilo that he did a great job, including deflecting a pass. Our defense is going to DOMINATE in years to come.
Best things about a Warrior victory are the post-game smiles. Love it!

To all Kia detractors: This one’s for YOU! Don’t be a hater.
Way ahead of Twitter on that one. Already snagged myself one at the Rainbowtique at the SSC during the Wahine game against Western Michigan. 🙂
Now… how about those sweet UA tees I only see the team and trainers wearing…???
Jayson and Kenny
Hawaii’s only Japanese O-lineman shares the love with family.
Mahalo Ralph!
So… Tuaniga, Cascioppo, and Forsythe are all on schollie? I guess with the way you break it down must be.
Greg and Lewis do the Lambeau leap
You’d smile too if you exploded on a TD run like Alex did.
My God, will some Tsaikos in the Vegas area please arrange to have lunch with UNLV’s president to “spread da word”?
Here’s to YOU, Mack. Thank you, Chancellor Hinshaw.
Not sure if this was suggested earlier, but perhaps a cost effective way to do this is to invite UH marching band alumni in the area to join in, much like how the UH cheerleaders did last Saturday. If course, not sure how “rusty” they may be, but I’m sure they can remember “Co-Ed”, “Hawaii Five O”, and “Fight For Old Hawaii” pretty well!
Pau photos. Hey, don’t know if it’s going to be shown in Hawaii tonight, but Seattle PBS is showing a David Foster concert special. Not really my thing normally, but it’s really GOOD if you like pop ballads. Great guest stars too from Peter Cetera, Boz Scaggs, Michael Buble’, Josh Grobin, this amazing girl from the Philipines, etc.
Okay, I still have three tickets available in Tsaiko section 115. Will be able to drop them off downtown on Friday. Let me know if anyone needs these: WarriorMojoRocks@gmail.com.
Nice pics Mojo!
Dang! We’ve got some SWEET road uniforms!
WarriorMojo.
thanks for the most excellent photos.
hope to see you in Vegas.
Can some one here tell me what happened to VILI THEEE WARRIOR???
I didn’t see him at the WSU game, maybe cause it was a road game, but was he there for the UCA game? I read somewhere that he retired…can anyone verify whether I will see Vili’s awesomeness on the sidelines anymore?
Mahaloz
which reminds me.
thank you thank you thank you.
Chawan_Cut
for your most excellent videos/news. i really look forward to seeing your work. most excellent.
WOW, that was a three way fight between Garret, Kazz and me to see who would be Blog Hog, LOL.
Tsaikos,enjoy this victory. It’s too much to expect the haters to come on the board and admit they were wrong, but at least a W forces them to shut the hell up for awhile. It’s really pathetic, though, that their pettiness prevents them from enjoying this victory.
Nice photos WarriorMojo.
Vili was on the field at the UCA game.
No contract for road games.
WarriorMojo,
Saw that David Foster special last year. Really good show…in fact, went and got the DVD.
Charice Pempengco is pretty amazing….
http://tinyurl.com/c9xt7c
Vili isn’t the UH mascot, he is a hired entertainer who shows up at UH sports events by contract. He is at UH football but I don’t see him at the UH mvb anymore, is he at mbb?
Homey it’s bound to hit one of these days. A few of us are heading to Nancy to watch the game.
evening tsaikos.
Pomai are you guys going to Nancy’s in Waikele shopping center for the UNLV game, lot closer than Genji’s for me.
the sat game looks goooooood for the boyd gaming group. so far, they have over 2.500 for the tailgate and game.

Her “baton twirling” eligibility confuses me. I believe ST said her UH schollie is through the marching band so I dunno how that works…
I guess THIS athletic fall season is her last with UH as the baton twirler?
Well, been saying it since 2005, “good luck to the next baton twirler”!
Ralph yeah curveball and I are going it is in Waipio Gentry.
the uh warrior fans are like salmon, each day more and more are showing up in vegas and game night will be a doozer. while our governor and legislators are trying to figure how to get more money, they let 20,000 kamaainas leave hi for the game and they will contribute to the vegas community over $5 million for this game. gambling is bad for hi, but excellent for vegas. go figure that out!!!!
Vili
he may not be da mascot
but i loved his smile at the CAU game
he was pretty happy with this 12 year old kid standing at the bottom of orange CC right next to the tunnel. da kid was yelling chuuuuuuuuuuuuu
heeeeeeeeeeeeeaahhhhhhhh as loud as Vili.
da kid was amazing, like Charice P. 😀

Um… I thought there was a Call The Coach Show from Vegas tonight?
call the coach on now w/ Mack
re: 132
mih,
I’m for the warriors but i respect jj alot. to compare the two schools is like apples and oranges. hawaii has been built into a successful program and is looking to reload after the sugar bowl. most of the recruits came because of the success of hawaii in 2007. jj’s school has been losing for over 20 years and he’s trying to rebuild it with not much talent from earlier years, and trying to convince recruits to play for a losing school. i give him credit for being 2-0 while having to deal with that.
Pomai,

I guess McMackin just said what I wanted to, Ron Lee was voted one of the top 5 receiver coaches in the NCAA. Combine that with JJ and McMackin and you have explosive power and defense.
We have two of the 1,2,3 punch.
And that ain’t bad at all.
Mahalo Warrior Mojo! Great shots of the miles of smiles! Catch up with you at Vegas.
Big Hilo ~ Kona have da Posse meet you out at Stateline and give you your briefing of da dooze and don’ts as you roll in to town. Did you see my cousin Ulu Lee? She can arrange bail money for you, just in case.

Thanks for the vids. Like I said before, “I know nothing”, but what I’ve seen of Dunnachie makes me think he can make a 50 yd. field goal. Does a field goal actually have to touch the ground? Wait, wait, don’t tell me…I’ll go look it up in the fb dictionary W-Doc printed for me. If not there, I’ll ask again.

Soooo, could Ingram snap the ball to Dunnachie & have Alex kick a field goal using a drop kick?
in 12 hours, Doreen is taking me to the airport.
whooootaaahhh!
Kekoa,
you know a good P.I. in LV? need one for an old friend.
BHF2 – are you using all of your tix or do you have 2 extra for RainbowCliff?
Hey Rich2176, i’ll be flying in to Vegas on sat, i still need a ticket, would love to sit along side the tsaiko’s. If you can get 2 from WarriorMojo, i’ll buy the extra one from you. Let me know, if can, good, if no can, thats ok too, i’ll get one when i get there.
bighilofan2, how you doing brah, i still owe you one t-shirt from Alabama, what size i need to get.
alnbama – if the stars line up properly, Ronnie will have one extra ticket. I sent her 10 instead of 9. (Note to self – no green bottles when distributing Warrior Tix.). If warriormojo or BHF2 can take care of RainbowCliff, that would be great. Also, djmitcho has a ticket. He’d need to FedEx it since tomorrow is already Wed. Everything will work out….
Pomai I’ll join you and curveball at Nancy’s. Slugger count me out of Genji’s, cuz Nancy’s is much closer.
Rich2176- or i could just meet them at the stadium, like i did LizK in Fla., how ever is the easiest.
alnbama – djm not coming to Vegas. Otherwise, meet at K-Call Friday night, tailgate at Cici’s, or stadium. When are you flying in?
alnbama – I see you’re arriving on Sat.

The Navy’s new amphibious assault ship Makin Island uses a hybrid electric kind of like what is used in cars. The electric motor is used at low speeds and the engine only needs to be used during the 25% of the time that the ship moves at high speeds. Not only is this a great way to reduce emissions, but it reduces our military’s dependence on foreign oil and the Navy predicts it will save $250 million in fuel costs!
Globs of human fat removed during liposuction are being called “liquid gold” because that fat contains versatile cells that are more quickly and easily converted to stem cells than the skin cells most often used by researchers. It takes 3+ weeks to grow skin cells in the lab before they can be reprogrammed, but liposuction leftovers are ready to be used right away, plus liposuction leftovers do not need mouse-derived “feeder cells” that current skin cells require.
The world’s first full-scale floating wind turbine (capacity of 2.3 megawatts) was inaugurated in Norway. They will study it over the next two years to figure out how to reduce costs so that they can commercialize floating wind power. Hawaii would be an *excellent* target market for this type of green power.
Maine passed a law against “distracted driving”. This doesn’t just ban driving while using a cell phone, it bans anything not necessary to the operation of the vehicle…for example, no eating putting on makeup while driving.
Jupiter captured a passing comet and had it as a moon from 1949 to 1961 before the comet was released.

RE your #71 & 73,
IDK what’s going on!
A-House posted from my palm centro the other day from Safeco bb field.
Twice already he’s (asked to) read the blog from same place (my phone).
Got da proof in my camera.
midori7 says it’s the weather…
hehehe
😉
haha curveball!
ralph, Pomai & curveball,
Enjoy Nancy’s! It is closer to you guys. I liked the breakfast at Nancy’s. Better than the other place we went to at Koko Marina…
We’ll be making noise all over the islands.
Warrior Mojo- beeeeaaauuutttiiiiffuuuulll pix. Mahalo!!!
alnbama- all right! It’ll be good to see you again!
2 nights from now- I’m on the way to the airport. 😎
Pomai,
42-14 UH in a rout! Thanks
DON WEIRS: Go to Caesar’s Palace – Vosges chocolate bars have smoked bacon in it – really strange but ono – if you want some for door prizes or the like.
Asked my friend up in Reno area to come down to the game (the one who donated the 2.2m) but health reasons keeps him close to home.
(I’ll take the candy if you got extras! See you in a couple of days.)
Article about why the kickoff time changed for Saturday’s game.
See ST’s tweet…ST not well…Lot’s a fluids like gator-aid …
GO Warriors!!!

Wow, the Warrior Beat clock is really slow…. 🙄
ST – hope you’re feeling better. Food poisoning? Flu? or …. too many apple martinis, and shots of CR and patron? 😀
Did the Princess make the trip?
Listening to the the Coaches Show a caller calls in and ask Coach Mack if the Warrior practices are open to the public.
“No practices are closed,” Coach Mack says. “We’re putting in some new offensive packages and we don’t want the UNLV coaches to see this.”
When I heard this it makes perfect sense. High five to the coach for sound thinking.
Even on this message board I’ve read where posters are guarded in releasing information as to what they see in practices at Manoa. Again, this makes perfect sense as you don’t want to tip off any information to the Warrior’s opponent.
Later in the show on the subject of the punter:
Coach says, “We’ll have our punter doing rugby-style punting for the UNLV game.”
Huh? Huh?
Yep that was my reaction. And I actually cringed when I heard this. I realize that Coach Mack, in his over exuberance about the punter, may have let this information slip out …but allowing the enemy (UNLV) to hear this is not very savvy at all IMO. Football coaches, in general, try to gain the edge. Coach Mack had one. And he could have surprised the UNLV team with the punter sprinting out of the pocket and doing the rugby-style punting…but he had to spill the beans, which now allows the UNLV special team’s coach time to prepare for this. Oh well, at least the practices were closed.

royvic:
Everybody who went to practice this fall knows he is a rugby style kicker..He has already done it in the first 2 games..He is from Australia and only played rugby…geez
royvic:
It was not a secret…………….
hey gang!
It’s been awhile since I’ve seen or talk to you guys. Yeah, life is pretty busy with two boys in diapers. With one boy in diaper last year we managed to get season tickets, but it’s too difficult this year. So, it’s PPV for now and maybe the next two yrs or so. I would invite u guys over and bust out the grill, but the house is a mess and no time.
StevenM and bighilofan2 – I remember u guys.
LizKauai – u da lady with the awesome voice? Sent chills down my spine wen u sing Hawaii Ponoi (?) in New Orleans. Or was that someone else?
wafan — no cost. We record’em b/c we no can sit and watch from beginning to end.
BTW, I forgot my sumtinwong email .. was it yahoo? Just shoot SteveM an email and if he can kindly pass it to my real yahoo acct. and we can work something out.
287
ask one of your buddies if they’ve seen the UH punter punting rugby style in the first two games
SumTinWong,
Add an 808 to your name at yahoo. That’s the ticket….
Mahalo!
For all those flying out, travel mercies be with you!
Homey, welcome back!
royvic,
I don’t know anything about rugby style kicking, but Alex can drop kick a ball pretty high. I don’t think we’ll ever see him kick as high as he can in a game setting. Punts during a game have to be strategically placed at specific yardage.
What is the difference between a football kick & a rugby kick?
Thanks.
292
rugby style punting gives the punter the freedom to run before punting the ball
the boise punter a few years ago did this
he would take the snap and then sprint to either side out of the pocket before either punting the ball, running or throwing the ball for a first down.
Aloha, Tsaiko Ohana!!
Enjoying lurking and reading the banter for the most part. Several trolls passed through to unload their usual load of blame, character assassination, and attitude. Apparently, they mistake the four or five F’s for fleas!!
I’ve learned to skip right past these imposters who act as though they are smarter than highly successful coaches with college and NFL backgrounds. And the truest test to ask: Have you ever seen one of these guys at a tailgate, cattle call, or Tsaiko get together? I’ve seen plenty invitations for them to show up, but nothing..
Anyway, for those who want to diss Ron Lee and the role he has played in our success with the Run and Shoot, he has been successfully coaching Run and Shoot for a long time. The reason that Mack say Ron Lee will always be my offensive coordinator is that he and Mack ran the run and shoot when Mack got his first college head coaching job in Oregon, and they set national records for their level.
This team is a team, not just of players but of players and coaches. They are learning how to work together at both levels, and they show signs of becoming a very smart and effective group. I see the coaches as being a great blend of old and young guys who have great spirit. That doesn’t mean that they won’t make mistakes or that their schemes won’t ever fail. But they have shown great ability to learn and adapt defeats and to build the potential for even greater things in the future.
Imua Warriors!!
Rich 2176,
ho bradda. i got all 10 accounted for. 2 extras flyin in from Hnl Friday, da jonny come latelies. 😆 my good good friends, one who is like a son to me.
Just finished rounding up all the meds, snacks, airline and cruise docs, Hooters confirmation, snacks, speedos, etc. Synched the aging PowerBook for web updates and blogging. Will start to actually put the clothing into the suitcase any hour now… 🙂
If anyone needs my cell phone number, please post here before midnight.
Anyone else going out tomorrow morning (0730) on UA to LAX?
alnbama,

#284- didn’t know anything about it… till you brought it up…
SumTinWong… ohhh… chx skin all over again… Sugars… Hawaii Pono’i…
SteveM – have a great trip! Hope you get to see some of your money in Lost Wages and on the ship.
To all Tsai-kos heading off to the game, safe travels!
Go Warriors!
Risking the wrath of the lower Kapalama alums, Pac-Five beat that purple & yellow team this past Saturday. Yeeee Haaaaw!
we are Warriors! Road Warriors!!!!!
never thought I’d actually be looking forward to a road game,
but i truly am looking forward to us playing UNLV Sat.
Go Warriors!!!
Lopaka ~ Was great to see you and your boss at Genji’s Saturday. Just like our sometimes flawless Tsaiko cheering, the team is learning to work well together. When they should happen to falter, adjustments are made, and they finish strong.
The proof will be when we get together with bhf2 and follow his cheer leading example. Thank goodness BG will be there to help!
Interpretation may be a slight problem with those unaccustomed to his fractured linguistic skills. Don Weir will prolly rush the cheerleaders to San Jose WITH the band after he witnesses braddah’s enthusiastic ooutbursts.
Imua Warriors!
royvic,
So, couldn’t Dunnachie run before kicking the ball? If the protection is collapsing and he’s truly accurate as advertised as a rugby kicker, he could move & kick the ball. Doesn’t seem to be against the rules if someone has already kicked in that fashion. Wonder how accurate he is kicking on the run?
OH, he did show us a rugby kick at the Wahine football clinic! MzLiz, or gmahoney, do you remember that? It was the end of our session with the special teams group.
ST – get well soon!
…Watching the 2007 Hawaii @ UNLV game on DVD…(Mahalo’s to BigWave)… Getting ready…leave in 48 hrs….Hoping Saturdays result is a repeat of the game I’m watching…
I don’t just want UH to beat UNLV, I’m praying for a stompin.
A Road Warrior stompin!!!!
A full on wake up call to Football America!
I want peeps to beg for da privilege of playing da Warriors!
I want peeps to know Wassu is da home ah da scarede cats.
I want Gesser to know he chose da wong side down.
Go Warriors!!!!!
I hope you feel better soon, Stephen!
Neal Smatresk? I recognize that name, he was at UH a few years ago. No wonder he has ties to Herman Frazier.
#294- Well put.
WARRIORS! IMUA!
Lopaka43,
Didn’t know Ron coached w/ Mack in OR. I hope they set records here. Looking forward to seeing you & the Mrs. on Saturday.
Safe travels to all those traveling to LV. Win big!
IMUA WARRIORS!!!
Howzit Lopaka43
like your style and feel.
looking forward to meeting you wheneva whereva.
IMUA WARRIORS.
okay, just a few more things to finish before its hi ho hi ho.
nite nite and sweet road warrior dreams!
…I know we scrapped the Wht/Blk/Silver uni’s but did anyone else notice that Monday Night Football game between the Raiders/Chargers? Looks like the Raiders stole a page out of JJ’s book, with the White Jerseys w/Silver #’s… Remember the one’s that the commentators for the ’05 UH @ McChicken St. game were complaining couldn’t see the jersey #’s?
Finally caught up reading all the posts. WarriorMojo, great pixs! To those that’s leaving pretty soon to vegas. Malama Pono. We’ll all be there on Saturday to cheer our young Warriors. IMUA!!! Gotta go sleep now. Aloha….
Shannon,
I think one of the TV commentators said the same thing about the disappearing numbers on the Raiders’ jerseys.
G’night, all!
everyone wants to emulate the Raider Nation, too bad they haven’t won too many fb games lately but their day will come sooner than later.
Goodnight, Gang!!
ST, feel better soon!
around 11 min. left in the 4th qyr. of the ’07 UH @ UNLV game: Colt signing autographs for some fans on the sidelines…3 of them in particular were UNLV’s ball boys. Classic.
The UH Pep Band would be the one to send on the road, but they are a regular presence at Wahine volleyball matches plus men’s basketball and volleyball.
The Wahine play New Mexico State here on October 17 which is the same day the Warriors play at Idaho so that wouldn’t work. However, the Wahine will be in Utah while the Warriors will be playing in San Jose on November 14.
Men’s basketball starts on October 30 against UH-Hilo followed by a game with BYU-H on November 4. Home games scheduled: November 13, Southern Utah; November 15, McNeese State; November 16, Northern Colorado. That would definitely create a problem with sending the Pep Band and cheerleaders to San Jose.
However, just like the Pep Band is only 25 or so musicians compared to the big Marching Band, so too is the cheerleading squad much smaller for all the court sports. Let’s do some creative thinking here.
The Men’s volleyball schedule is not yet posted on the UH website.
Still, it would be worthwhile to try to put something together for the November 14 San Jose State game. If there’s any interest in holding a special event as opposed to asking for contributions like we did for the equipment fund, then I’d be glad to help plan, coordinate, and carry it out. What I’d suggest would raise about $3000 in three hours
Busy day tomorrow so I’m off to bed – got to deal with sharks and homeless folks.

Re: #315 –
Ralph …. Not everyone…. 🙄 😈 😀
morning gang!
Happy Birthday Garret!
IMUA, WARRIORS!
The MWC has Versus and MTN telecast which can be viewed on a national scale. I’m viewing a MTN telecast right now where various head coaches are being interviewed regarding their perspective teams, etc.
Now that’s what you call getting a leg up on recruiting prospects along with the BCS conferences who have their own outlets for national exposure.
Just wondering if the WAC ever explored this scenario before as well??
Garret, what say you??? my opinion is that this avenue should be a must for the WAC, or am I missing something besides the co$t???
Ralph ~ Da former Oakland Raider’s is still an official NFL team? Like da PGA players who don’t do well, don’t they have to go back to *Q* school?
I cudda sworn I heard Al Davis grumble to Mayor Moonbeam Jerry Brown about dat last month.
I watched a replay of the UNLV/OSU game from last week and actually, the Rebs never came to life until the 4th, and even at that, it was a lot of desperation plays and good breaks. I think OSU really went to sleep on defense…seems like they thought the game was in the bag, so to speak, they slacked-off towards the end. If not for that last precious moments and that field goal, the Rebs would have pulled-off an upset win.
So, the Warriors need to play four full quarters and be focused…got my fingers crossed just in case, but I feel very confident UH will come away with a big, “W.”
Great Morning All!
Envious of those who are there or leaving today. Can hardly wait til tomorrow night then it’s…..
….Vegas, Baby!
Safe passage to all!
HiHo….
Good Morning All! Hope everyone has a good hump day…..do you know where your camel is at?
UH better not be thinking too much into the future. WASU outplayed them in the second half of last week’s game when Mack thought it was a wash out.
They need to concentrate on business at hand. Start looking at the Navy and Wisconsin films first. Figure the Fresno and Boise State games are losses and just make sure we have a winning season.
Gooood Morning Tsaikos everywhere.
WARRIOR NATION, ARISE
behold, da plane da plane 😆
isa leaving Honolulu fo cum get us. except for a little work on Friday, this is gonna be a business trip. 😆
hold the fort down, Tsaikos. We’re all in this together!
GO WARRIORS!
BOBMOB
betta go back up and look at the pics WarriorMojo posted in this section of the blog. the Warriors are feeling great about themselves, and rightly so. and now, they’re in Las Vegas on a business trip.
just you watch, we’ve got players! and coaches!
ST
good morning. if you’re feeling a little down, nuttin like bowls of hot soup, chicken noodle soup, to get you ready for singing Friday nite. 😀
see you in Vegas, baby.
Howzit Everybody,
Safe passage to all that are on there way to Vegas. I will see all of you at the game on Saturday and I might stop by Kiku Hana on Friday.
Aloha Kakahiaka!
Dish folks- The game is on our schedule on CBS… 😎
BOBMOB,
Ho easy buddy. I will agree with you that the Boise State game will be a very tough one for the boyz and they might come up losers but you have to remember that the game is at home and anything can happen. With regards to Fresno State. You gotta be kidding me. Fresno an automatic lose. Wow you must be smoking something really good. Fresno has not beat us home or away for the past 5 years at least. I think after watching them this past Saturday, Fresno has another tough team but not a team that Hawaii can not beat. It will be a tough game like it always has been between these teams but to say it is an automatic win for Fresno is craziness.
jm2375- That’s channel 152 on Dish! Not HD but better than nothing!!!
Hi Ho!
GOOD MORNING ALL
Leaving for the airport in 2 hrs…then on to the 9th Island!!!
GO WARRRRRIORS
Maybe someone should check with Dish in Hawai’i to make sure it’s not going to be blacked out (like the WSU game was in Cali) – since it is part of the PPV package.
Aloha Kakahiaka. Safe trips to those leaving today. See you all in lv. GO WARRIORS. IMUA NA KOA!!!!
Get well ST. Take care the body.
Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂
Safe travels to all those heading to Las Vegas!
Ronnie,
I live all the way in Marshall, Texas, and the UH/WSU was likewise blocked out…..so I don’t get it???
Doing some last minute stuff. Da plane leaves at 2:35 PM. Leavin’ da keys to da ceded lands to officer Coloma. (Cousin Buddy will be his enforcer). Da ‘flag’ is packed Aunty Liz!
Been really excited about this trip for the past few days. The anticipation of seeing the lads go off on UNLV is exhilarating! I’m thinking that if they keep better care of da ‘rock’ – they will take a huge step forward in improving their steam rolling offense!
Win Warriors!

Dag nab it, Hawaii is gonna blow the panties off Boise and Fresno!
Both home games and 100% sellout capacity.
Get your noise maker ready and fine tuned to maximum decibal levels.
Maybe a coqui frog whistle can be created. That would bug the heck out of those visitors.
Aloha Kakahiaka!

#324 – UH beat UNLV in 2007 with Colt & Tyler in the game. I was there.
yup!

Some good pictures of the Warriors in here although Funaki is dissed.
A couple of things, first I disagree with Bobmob there is no reason that we should not win those games other than we beat ourselves.
Second thing is about the TV stuff, who is selling what to who? It seems like UH needs to take a course in economics, we have a product that people want so since when does the buyer dictate the price the seller should charge? I think that UH and the WAC need to step back an look at the TV deal and readjust their thinking, we are worth a lot more than what they are paying, also seeing how it is our(UH) game we(UH) should have the exclusive rights to the broadcasting of any replay or selling of the game to the fans.
W-Doc,
Re: UH Pep Band
The Pep Band members are not static. Band members take turns playing at games. So, you could have a group going to an on-campus game & send another unit to an away football game. Gwen would have to determine who will be the backup conductor for the other pep band. Comes down to cost; can they afford it? Do we know how much it costs to send the Pep Band to an away game? Extra baggage fees for the instruments; or maybe someone could arrange for loaners. It’s a thought.
Pomai –
exact-a-mundo on your thoughts with the tv rights.
When the deal was secured with Oceanic/K5/UH, this exclusive agreement bounced out the hawaiiantel com users ( Which is our only source of land line use in the islands). But, was allowed to broadcast web games to anyone. That was the best deal going once they beefed up their servers to handle the traffic.
It’s my feeling that UH went backwards with this exclusive deal. Bad marketing sense.
btw Pomai.
Warriors – 25
Rebel girls – 21
Mahalo for all you do.
This morning I’m dying my hair so I decided to read todays blog. It’s been awhile since I’ve been on. Nice to see the old timers and I’m really jealous that you are all up there in Vegas!! I would love to go.
But more important….It’s here on this blog that I learned that Steve is not feeling good? He didn’t tell me anything…in fact, everytime he called me, I usually have the baby in my hand and she’s crying so I tell him “What? I can’t hear you…she’s crying. Call back.”
So poor thing…I think he gave up. I better text him now.
Have a happy day everyone!!
OLDIE: I was going to set up the PPV for Saturday and none of the PPV channels showed up. Does Oceanic wait till Friday or Saturday to put it on?
If so, I’m depending on you!!!
Eh ST,
Get betta soon because the Tsaiko Crew will be there in full force soon. Gotta get your rest. Gotta be ready for game day. Take care.

it’s a coin toss. that’s the beauty of it all. maybe coach is just saying that. maybe he just got you like he hopes he gets the UNLV coaches. something to prepare for………for nothing? gamesmanship? keep them guessing? how do we know what it really means until the final whistle blows? i guess coach mack is still in your oratory doghouse. on the flip side…it may not be what it seems as there are…three sides…to every coin and we don’t know the result until it lands.
Good Morning Wena!
No worries, we’ll be up there in a few hours to get him back up to full operational condition.
Take care of that little papoose. *Mia* must be exercising her lungs so she can sing like her grandpa!…LOUD!
New Post is up!

#363- I know we did, i was there too. But we didn’t play well. The game was closer than what the final score indicated. no need get mad, we just making predictions. i like hawaii win too, but somebody got to put in one realistic prediction. that’s mine just based on past performances in vegas. if i’m wrong, i’m happy. if i’m right. i win the guessing game.
