UH seeks clear forecast

Foist!

Congrats Ne’Quan!

Will the team be able to practice on Thursday before leaving?

Good for Ne’Quan!

Haucks teleconference was less than two minutes with no one calling in to ask questions. Methinks Rebel fans have given up hope or just don’t care. Pretty sad.

Any reason why Gant isn’t listed in the depth chart from this morning article? He been slipping?

in case this wasn’t seen late last night.

here’s this season’s schedule of schedules to keep track of not only UH, but how our other opponents are doing. i’ll update it weekly. you can either check here or on SH.

Thanks for the link chawan_cut!

Jeezy, I had the same question. What happened to Gant? A couple of weeks ago it seemed he was moving ahead of Davis.

Poor UH we no mo chance. wink, wink…

is marrell jackson on the travel squad?

Special teams should be fun to watch on Saturday. Every time anyone asks anything about punting, Coach Demerest and Coach Chow have these smirks on their faces…

punter ? hope niiro’s given a shot.

is the travel roster posted somewhere ?

id assume the true freshman are Ben Clarke, Phillips, JGW, Lakalaka and Fonua.

Hey Tsaikos! A bunch of us need your help.

We have a group of about 13 going to the game at the Coliseum on Friday. Some of us are locals travelling from Hawaii, some are kamaaina from LA and other places on the mainland flying in. We’re looking to tailgate but don’t know where to do it. We hear a lot of the areas in the lot, around the stadium, and even on USC campus are going to already be taken.

Any tips? Any official/unofficial tailgates we could join? We have a tent, a bunch of chairs, and a grill. We’d love to be able to put those to use.

Thanks!

Following up to my post No. 39, if anyone does have any advice or information that could help out my group for Saturday tailgating, we’d be really grateful if you could let me know at warriorexpat[at]gmail[dot]com. Thanks again!

I think…

I think Joey going do one quick kick…

and then I think…

Joey going throw for one first down…

and if we close enough…

I think…

Joey going drop kick one Field Goal!

I think 4th downs and Special Teams going be fun and unpredictable (in a good way) this year.

UH 0, USC 80

A Von Appen-like showing, less a punter.

U.S.C. means….

Upset Soon Coming!

Shock da World !!

UH 1000 USC (-1)

A Lame Effin Trojan showing

Awwwwryte!

Go Warriors!

I wish everyone that is going to be at the game to cheer for the Warriors to have a great and extremely happy time at the Coliseum!!

16 chawan_cut … awesome graphic, thanks for sharing it!! I feel like the daily bots by saying that, and following up with “I’ve bookmarked it and will return” but I guess the difference is there’s no hyperlink from my name, and I’m not trying to sell anything. 😉

koakane,

you must have been a poet in a former life.

Warrior Expat — the only Hawaii tailgate plans I have noted so far is the UHAA tailgate:

http://uhalumni.org/s/1220/RtCol.aspx?sid=1220&gid=1&pgid=296

Don Weir and polymom might have more current info. Hopefully they will post again.

There has been no announcement from the L.A. area Tsai-kos so far. They usually attend the UHAA events.

sorry too much kope this morning.

i could have said “a used one”.

okay, exit stage right…i am hungry for some pinakbet maybe i’ll venture out to the west side.

There are so many articles to read and videos to watch… It’s exciting time of year! (and unproductive at work)

Breaking News here in LA–Matt Barkley hits a person on a bike with his car. Police were not called. TMZ post pictures and now local news reporting police want to talk to Barkley. But no big deal nothing happened to Sanchez and Lineart when they sexually abused women. Just pay folks off. No biggie for USC. That’s how they do business.

Now Coliseum notes. There are no alcohol sales in the Coliseum. Just FYI. Expect fans to boo Norm Chow as they are still mad that Norm Chow was let go by Pete Carroll for the Sark. If they boo him just wave your Ti leaf. My kid just told me lots of kids from Mira Costa High School will be attending the game to support their teacher Cam Chow. We already got a verbal commit out of Mira Costa High School. So my kid said if you are sitting next to someone you don’t know spread the aloha. Expect drunk kids like you have never seen before. If you have an altercation just call security as there are lots of fights at the Coliseum. They even have a drunk tran there!

Safe travels. If you do not have a reservation for a space at the Coliseum for tailgate get there early. My friend said around 6 in the morning to get in line. But if you park at the Coliseum expect it to take at least 4 hours to get out after the game. Parking across the street starts at 80 dollars. Valet parking across the street is 150 dollars. Welcome to LA!

Polymom, Wow!…

“Breaking News here in LA–Matt Barkley hits a person on a bike with his car. Police were not called. TMZ post pictures and now local news reporting police want to talk to Barkley.

The long snapper. Will ask my kid his name when she gets her okole out of bed.

Events here in LA that I know–

Friday night

Back Home in Lahaina in Carson. Not the Manhattan Beach location.

Start time 6:00PM

Saturday Day

Tailgate at the Coliseum for UHAA. Starts at noon.

Per the Coach request please be in your seats no later then

4:00PM.

Kick off 4:30 PM

Sam Chow food truck will be outside the Coliseum. Want poke? Heard he has plenty.

That Bleacher report is crap…..we will see—-go Warriors!!!!!

Well, if anything, Matta Barkley will be shaken up from this

cause he knows it could have been a LOT

WORSE…

I really believe NC’s gameplan will be to try to play ball-control offense (mainly running the ball and short passes) and keep SC’s offense off the field. SC will probably still come out on top but I don’t think they will score anywhere close to 50 points.

@58 (SteveM): Mahalo for the help!

Little bit off topic, but…

My inlaws here in Georgia subscribe to this magazine through their Lifetime Fitness gym membership, called “Experience Life”.

Just read an article titled, “Lift to Lose”, written by Andrew Heffernan, CSCS. At the end of the article, it says, “Andrew Heffernan is a Los Angeles-based fitness coach and a contributing editor at Experience Life. He blogs at http://www.malepatternfitness.com.”

So now I’m wondering…

Is this Andrew Heffernan related to Coach Tommy?

I now return you to your regularly scheduled program…

top hundred………..omah!

I see UH defense coming up big time holding on to the lead and UH wins, 24-21. Big time celebration all over the country and especially back in Hawaii. GO WARRIORS!!

I’m expecting to see onside kicks after every score by Hawaii. The longer we possess the ball, the better our chances of winning.

Don Wier:

coupons received and my apologies for not providing my real name

Sarah had a big charge when I went to pick-up the coupons!

Realist will get a true lesson in faith this Saturday.

I love it!!

Thank you for the auspicious writeup. It actually used to be a entertainment account it. Look complex to more brought agreeable from you! By the way, how could we keep in touch?

I wish Norm Chow throws some trick plays or a series of “run & shoot” to throw the USC defense for a spin. I think that UH will resort to “rugby” punts to throw off the Trojans.

All we can do is hope for the best. I gotta say that USC fans are the most arrogant I’ve ever encountered on road games.

I agree with the analysis below:

Predictions are always dicey, especially when a new coach with a brand new system takes over a program.

Norm Chow has done that this year in Hawaii and there is both considerable buzz and excitement about the upcoming season.

But considering the tough slate the Warriors have ahead of them, is it warranted? Lets take a look at each game.

Sept. 1: Hawaii at USC

Going to the Coliseum to face the Trojans is a daunting task even for perennial powerhouses. Yet this is where the Warriors will begin their season.

Led by quarterback Matt Barkley, the Trojans will be gunning for nothing less than a national championship.

Expect the Warriors to keep it close early as USC sees what schemes Norm Chow has put into place. UH will be trailing by halftime, but still very much in the game.

However, USC will make adjustments and by mid-third quarter their bigger, stronger, and faster athletes will begin to pull away. With Trojan title aspirations, the Warriors can expect no mercy. USC will be pressured to win and win big they will.

Prediction: USC 63, UH 17

Oops…Now 100???

Kiffen vs Chow…. historically it seems like there might be more than a bit of bad blood between the two coaches… maybe buried after the past few years but there may still be a number of hot embers ready to be stoked. I was surprised when I did a search on “Kiffen vs Chow” . I don’t think that Chow has ever won against a Kiffen team.

It is also worth noting that Kiffen wanted Chow to be his OC when he took over USC… and a few years back he said that Chow and hsi father were both legends as coordinators

Another interesting article form when Chow was rumored to be heading back to USC::

The story goes like this:

Norm Chow and Lane Kiffin almost came across the table at each other during a USC staff meeting years ago. To say they hated each other was an understatement. Now we’re to believe that Kiffin may bring back Chow to USC — and Chow might come back? That’s what I’m getting through the grapevine.

I thought Chow would have been a great head coaching candidate at USC, if the school could get past his age (something like 64). Apparently, Mike Garrett wanted Kiffin to hire Chow. I don’t know if they would have come together on their own. Believe me, there is some serious animosity between the two.

That confrontation was the beginning of the end for Chow at USC. I’m told that’s when Pete Carroll figured he had to find a graceful way for Chow to leave. He did, leaving after the 2004 national championship for the Tennessee Titans …

Chow’s beat Kiffen a coupla times already….once in the NFL when Kitten was with the Raiders and Chow with the Titans. Once in college when Kiffen was at Tenn and Chow at UCLA.

The question isn’t whether Chow’s schemes can beat Kiffen.

It’s whether our guys, for on game, can be better than them. I have no doubt we’ll show up and play our hearts out.

Defense! Defense!

‘Nuff said……Go Warriors!!

USC hired Kiffen because they knew that daddy would tag along. That’s who they really wanted imo. Tampa 2.

Was reading how the nail in the coffinw as that Kiffen and Chow nearly had a physical fight so Carroll pretty much had to choose one or the other….

Taking SteveM., advice….I now have t-leaves in both hands, and facing west…I can see clearly now; Warrior rb’s and O-line continue to wear out the Trojan defensive front along with the Warrior’s TE’s and slots who run the lb’s and db’s crazy….our Warriors prevail.

Only thing is……where do the polls place UH the following week????

oh, score already taken, so I will predict UH-20 USC-18.

iwwthm-

You’d tell Daniel Inouye he can’t succeed because he doesn’t have an arm. But… you’d have no problem being wrong.

You’d tell Patsy Mink she’d never succumb to anything because she’s a female from Hawaii trying to run around in a man’s world. But… you’d have no problem being wrong.

You’d tell Ellison Onizuka no bare feet Hawaii kid from Kona could ever become an astronaut. But… you’d have no problem being wrong.

You’d tell Barry he can’t be president because he’s one Hawaiian braddah. But… you’d have no problem being wrong.

To me, that’s half ass. You sked of criticism. You afraid of losing. You’re embarrassed of the possibility of seeing UH get blown out. But, you more than ready to basque in the glory if there’s a miracle.

Sometimes you just gotta put yourself on the line. Stand up and be a man! Grow some balls! No Sked!!

Don’t you think our boys know what their up against? Don’t you think they don’t read this blog? Imagine if it was you and you turn around to see none of your friends and family supporting you. Yeah, that’s motivating!

I actually don’t mind idiots who come on the blog and bad mouth UH. At least I know their true colors and where they stand. But to me, half ass fans are worse. They around when the goings good, but never around when the goings bad. If they are, they talking smack. (like that ever helps everyon but themselves)

Never ever be afraid to lose! (Especially if you’re just a fricken damn spectator!) But, if you are, please please please take up another hobby. Being a true UH fan is too dangerous and extremely detrimental to your feelings. You going get hurt. We wouldn’t want that to happen…

More than any other time, our boys need all of our support.

They can handle the rest of the world not believing in them. It’s disheartening to know the very ones behind them don’t as well.

Just think 300. They knew what they were up against. They knew of their fate.

They fought anyway!

I MUA WARRIORS!! FIGHT LIKE CHAMPIONS!! REPRESENT US WELL!!

Geez, you’ve been watching too many Ray Lewis videos, A-Joe.. calm down…

Ryan_12177- who are you?

First time blogger?

Don’t ever recall meeting you at any T-gate. You showing up at the next one?

Ooops, meant Madden 13. Not NCAA 13.

I don’t live in Hawaii, A-Joe.. but I’m a regular on sports hawaii and scout.com..

You run into fellow Tsaikos in the strangest places. Had to go drop stuff off at hubby’s office today. The Army bases are now making every one get a parking pass, so guess who was in front of me in line at the Ft Shafter pass office? Chopsueyboy! Nice to see him again.

Guess we should be careful about scheduling cc’s at Hale Ikena. All those without a DoD-issued ID will need to present:

1) photo ID

2) car registration

3) no-fault card

4) safety check

5) note from your mother (j/k)

Sheesh. Took longer to get the pass than to drop the stuff off.

Lotsa talk about new Coach, new scheme, new plays, new dis, new dat….

…one ting is da same.

Hawaii boys representing Hawaii Nei! GO WARRIORS!

ajoe…you just reminded me of the story that i just re-heard this past sunday.

david and goliath.

d1…whoa, your burp smell just like mine.

checking with anoddah burp. ma’s was good again

DPK – hahaha. Wea da lead slippah? Chopsueyboy was also just making deliveries, not staying for any length of time.

http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/19401475/nanakuli-schools-on-lockdown-after-nearby-barricade-situation

Another gun situation…

Guns don’t kill people.. “people” kill people… so all we gotta do is keep guns out of the hands of da “people”… yeah?

Can’t wait for the game to start; I’m sure the players on both sides feel the same. ‘Nuff talk. Go Warriors! Shock Da World, baby!!

Speaking of Brian Johnson, would he be categorized as the youngest OC ever hired at the D1 level? I know Rolo was 31, but Johnson was 24 when he got offered the Utah OC job.

iwwthm- at least I know where you stand. Lol

Mahalo al. BTW- do I credit you for the ono Dinaguang as well?

Ryan_12177: Let me know when you’re in town. We go get together and throw back a few.

Going to Damien, I always knew what it was like to lose, but we always held our heads up high and always gave 110 percent…nothing to be ashamed of and always was supported by our classmates, alumni, and families…..

Mahalo to KHON TV/NBC for telecasting this game on Saturday. Play hard Warriors no matter the result. Who knows this team may shock the world and that’s why the game is played.

Ryan_12177- That’s awesome bull!

Always know the islands will always be here for you and your ‘Ohana.

(J)J –

I wonder if having co-eds has caused the Monarch resurgence? 😉 In any case good fo’ dem!

“‘helped’ the Monarch resurgence” I should have said…

I think new coach has something to do with it.

Any way time for the Warriors to head on down the road.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nLiQBV6A7c

Go Warriors!!!!!!!

A-Joe ~ It’s just me and you brah…No sked ’em…We can take ’em! Uh here, let me hold da door open for you…

Dang, summer is just about to end. A full day of meetings tomorrow . . . same old information we get every year. I would rather work in my lab than sit in those time wasters. Tsigh.

I love watching that cold calculating look on Chow’s face.

cool as a cucumber.

smuud.. brudda Chow is smuuuuuuuuuddddddd!!!!!

Red Zone –

Da new Coach is working wonders, and da kids are responding… I was going to put an LOL at the end of my joke, but we not supposed to do that…

Here’s some pix of Barkley’s bash with a bicyclist.

http://laist.com/2012/08/28/photos_usc_quarterback_matt_barkley.php#photo-1

Seems his pedal got stuck in car’s bumper/grill.

Nothing serious but bystander said he got knocked off the bike.

Probably did not know who hit him…

Ryan_12177 — adding you to the Northern CA (No-Cal) 🙂 Tsai-ko grouping.

Note that Shoko, Mario, Sac-Warrior, and Curveball are very close by.

Asahi? Are you the same guy who keeps posting about how eating cabbage is the key to all success? Whether you’re trying to be a comedian or a troll you’re not good at either. OK… the cabbage thing was funny the first couple of times.

The punter will be Leonard Peters?

Amazing. How did compliance pull that off???

Quiet stadium

Warriors come out to play

Trojans look in awe

As someone aptly said:

“Shocka da World”…

Two more days until the Warriors leave on their mission to Shock the World.

Go Warriors!!!

I leave the scramble for 200 to others.

Nytal!

next time

Shocka The World

Put your Asahi wea da sun don’t shine.

D1, i’m gonna break blog host rule and give you a big kudos *”LOL” * for your fed up response @ 205 to aforementioned okole!

Stay cool guys…we get’um! Win or lose I love this team, Coach Chow, his staff, all the helpers, the sponsors, the real fans –even those still on the fence!

Okay, then… See you on the morrow!

In the NBA, each player shirt number, already is not only to the identity of the logo, more time become Miami-Heat-Jerseys a preference of players, a psychological suggestion.

bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

It’s a new day and age for Warrior football. We can dink and dunk all the way down the field for all I care. Offense: Move da chains, control the ball, and score points. No silly mistakes. Keep that Trojan offense off of the field and we just might make this interesting.

BIK

Its funny that despite how poorly last season ended, dashed hopes and dreams, it all fades into a new, fresh bundle of excitement and anticipation as the new season rolls around. What is interesting is Coach Chow’s business like demeanor. It reflects confidence, experience, and reality. Coach Chow knows what he’s capable of but he doesn’t know his staff and the players under fire. But you know he’s paid attention to details, he knows they’ve prepared properly, and he knows the opponents. He has established the goals, expectations, and made the promises. We know none of these are hollow but, we the fans, have a need to see the product in action. He doesn’t seemed worried so why should we? He’s not promising a win but he says the ball bounces funny sometimes, often. For him being so low keyed, he’s really generating a lot of excitement!

CWD, re. #276. I’ve met you, and you are a wonderful, passionate and intelligent lady! NOT ugly!

SteveM: Maybe, the next contest should be name the 3 year old Tsaiko?

mo808 — I noticed your suggestion when I was at work Monday. The thought of Al, Bulla and DPK as 3 year olds must have overloaded my imagination and caused amnesia. 😐

Maybe a mother Tsaikette should organize such a contest and pry those baby photos out…hmmm, why does Wena, Mrs. A-House, and Colomaohana come to mind? 😕 🙂

GO WARRIORS!! BEAT USC!!

Quote from Coach Chow; ST’s article today (on focusing his players):

“I’m sure that’s going to be a problem,” Chow said. “We have to get to playing and not who we’re playing. It’s faceless names.”

Keep it all business Warriors! Clear Minds & Full Heart! Play to win every quarter! Your playing faceless names!

Good morning mo808 and any other zapper survivor up early this AM.

Saturday slowly approaching. News reports are trickling into my comms central. Got so excited by what sounded like a fb story, It was a good 10 minutes before I realized it was one of Col A-houses Korean drama recordings!

Go Warriors!

Happy Birthday all around. Haven’t seen much of RC since the last time the Warriors played USC at Aloha Stadium.
