And a very happy birthday to Mrs. Long Time UH Fan (Lorna).
howzit
is that the last scholarship available?
ST: What’s the word on Kahai Lacount.
Is he academically qualified ?
If so, is he in the process of registering for school?
Seems like a lot of time is slipping away.
top 5
i guess symonds (sp?) isn’t being considered for placekicker…usually the kickers, etc. walked on and after a year the ones that stood out got the scholarship…Kelly walked on didn’t he, same as Grasso, right?
seems like kahai has been out of football for a year trying to make up his grades. he was supposedly a tackle candidate at UH last fall and he didn’t enroll for academic reasons and he didn’t play JC ball last fall.
History Channel’s Warrior series focuses on the Hawaiian Lua Warriors this week.
Happy 22nd Birthday to Richard Kiesel-Kauhane, Jr.
Brett is only a RS Frosh….
Maybe coach is wanting him to pack on some pounds.
Maybe by the time this new JC Kicker is done, Brett can step right in…
Kelly was suppose to have gotten a scholie out of Linfield HS.
I can only think of Jason Elam, Justin Ayat as kickers who have gottens scholies out of High School.
Stephen,
You are in front of the camera so much now days..
You are like wine…
Scott Enos was both Kicker and Punter at Sierra JC

good luck today to UH Na Wahine waterpolo team on their quest for their first NCAA championship, the step is beating LMU today. Also, much luck and mojo to the Na Wahine softball team as they face a Nevada team that have dominated them over the last two seasons. The Bows baseball need a lot more than mojo going for them as their pitching has tanked as much as the teams hitting.
Corey Paclebar’s last name is pronouced Pack-Luh-Bar…
Braddah likes to Surf and Jam on his Ukulele.
His only ties to Hawaii is the many vacations his Ohana has taken here.
Donovan’s trifecta-e bolla, Wilton and Nash….he blinked with Nash, time will tell. His committee is taking too long to decide on the coaches and not making the list of candidates public makes us wonder if we’re back to back room politics of the old boy network in selecting coaches…who’s the most qualified, doesn’t matter, it’s who you know in Hawaii or who stacked the committee of naysayers…
Good Aloha Friday to all!
Kind of a sneaky early morning post, Mr. Tsai!
JD will be able to put his mark on the UHAD by the coaches he hires..with success his budget woes will take care of itself. UC Irvine with Sperew in volleyball and Gillispie in Baseball turned their programs around in a very short time, now Irvine is a national power in both sports…I know, they are in the orange county hotbed for recruits but UC schools are not easy to get into and after their in, they got to maintain a high gpa to keep up with the rest of the student body.
UC Irvine salary base should be something JD needs to look into when deciding on the base pay for our new coaches….the program can’t be called successful with coaches winning percentage around 52 to 56 percentile…fans won’t come out to watch mediocre teams, there is simply too much to do in Hawaii than watch a team in futility.
Trapasso’s contract ends at the end of this season, so trifecta plus one….JD legacy has started, his administration will be judged by the success of his future hires because it comes down to making money for each sport or at least stop the bleeding and lower the red numbers…
good morning wafan…..we haven’t seen las vegas post for a very long time….BigHilo been absent too…lots of people playing hooky.
is recruiting over for the Na Wahine Basketball? the coaches are paid through this month…hopefully they at least compiled a list of recruits for the new coach to view film on…
so we got a recruit, Krutz, that Idaho wanted…makes you wonder how come a lot of schools weren’t after this big fella and how come he is available so late in the recruiting season.

ai-ee-soos,
You talking about Kainoa LaCount, Kahai the older brother pau play football at UH already…yeah?
Scott Enos a.k.a. “Scooter”, welcome to the Warrior Nation. Below is his personal page with his info and videos. Seems like were getting a pretty decent kicker.
http://www.kicking.com/members/view.asp?id=Scooter
Yup! š šÆ š
Okay just pau watching Scooter’s highlight vids and he definitely has a strong leg. The good thing is that he is a hybrid kicker/punter type… He seems to have consistent boom and nice trajectory on kick-offs that would be a huge plus in kickoff coverage to allow our gunners to get down the field and unload!
Very nice recruiting for our special teams Coaches… Excited to see Alex Dunnachie booming punts downfield, if he ever gets a chance š and now Scotty “Scooter” Enos added is awesome!!! I’m sure Coach Tormey has a huge grin from ear to ear over these two guys…au’ryte!
top fitty babeee!!!
g’morning Tsaiko Ohana!
conGRADS to CRW, J-Boy and Kelli girl. Take a bow…..a job well done!
ST – great interview with L&L! i MUST say you look g:smile::smile:d in red.

Welcome to the Warriors Scott Enos!
Jake Ingram talked about adjusting to the NFL.
El Pollo Loco has a funny commercial about how they will take KFC’s coupon on Mothers’ Day…remember, KFC’s coupon was good for two weeks (until they pulled the plug on the coupons) but did NOT work on Mothers’ Day. It is too bad that El Pollo Loco isn’t in Hawaii, but the mainland Tsaikos could benefit from this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrQX96ka89c&feature=channel_page
Good morning Tsai-kos!! Happy Aloha Friday!
Welcome to the Warrior Ohana Mr. Enos. Work hard, study hard and enjoy your time at UH.
Great Morning All!
Welcome to the Warriors, Scott Enos!
Nice pickup by Coach Tormey.
Took #2 son to Chris Sailer Nat’l Event last Jan. It’s a “real deal” event; I’m sure the competition was equally rigorous at the Spring Event.
The numbers are larger for HS kickers but still a pretty good sized field in the JC category.
http://www.chrissailerkicking.com/index.php?act=GetClip&aid=82
Looks like Enos actually had the 3rd best average for kick-off yardage (67.2) but dropped a little due to average hangtime (3.48).
Good morning all!…Good morning Garrett.
My son-in-law, Gallo Fonoti, used to manage the first El Pollo Loco in Sacramento back in 1989. I really enjoyed eating their chicken because you got it hot off the grill. The secret was in the marinade, and the fact that it was prepared the day before. Needless to say…we always had that Loco chicken whenever we were ono for it!
Didn’t they have an outlet here back around the late 80’s? I seem to recall one where the KFC is now near Pearl Ridge. Koakane, that’s just down the hill from you right?…shoots, I fogit…dey no habu, beru!
Kekoa,
Great Morning, Brah!
I used to like that El Pollo Loco down by the exit of Kam Drive-In; the chicken was ono.
Have a good day erryboddy!
HiHo…
most excellent aloha friday to all the tsai-ko up so early this morning. another windless and still day so head for an ‘ac’ hide out. howzit to jm#, garret, loa, brew#, wfan, hbod and pb. ralphie always with the negative waves
welcome Scott Enos to the 808 state and to WARRIOR nation. may you prove to be successful so good luck.
shout out to wahines and luck to them today adding same plus much more to bball men against FSU.
eh jboy, moanalua made the semi’s good luck to them against kailua. at least one public vs private match up will be in the finals. š„ so sad for PC
have a good day, keep the faith, play nice and finally words to start the day by “Lets dare to do big things today…Let’s take the risk….Let’s not allow the fear of failure to paralyze us from accomplishing our dreams…instead, lets dare to believe and achieve…….JOnosai”
morning d1 and patnah long time no EIS together got to make up this sat.
Won’t swear by it, but I think there was a El Pollo Loco down by Kaneohe (Likelike and Kamehameha Hwy) many moons ago and was taken over by KFC.
Aha!…Diogenes Sinope reveals one nodda possible secret spot for the ‘crazy chicken’ house.
Good Morning and Happy Aloha Friday Tsaikoland!
KFC prolly bought them out because they feared the Col. would never make rank if El Pollo stuck around…wait!…He still nevah did make General before he died!
Howzit EIS pahtna!…Saturday, Rob25 & Frank KK, be there…ALOHA!
D-1 ~ Yes, so there was an El Pollo Loco in Pearl City! Kinda tasted like Huli-Huli chicken that got drunk the night before chasing shots of Tequilla and chasing it with Corona!
OK, OK. I’m awake now.
Yep, the plan (again) is for LaCount to join the Warriors this summer.
If he makes it, though, he’ll join as a walk-on.
I’ve lost track of how many years he has remaining. I guess I’ll give him a call today.
Aloha Kakahiaka!
Happy birthday, Mrs. Long Time UH Fan!
Re: Trifecta.
Nash should be exempt from Donovan’s decision-making because HF changed the policy.
For almost every other coach, HF gave set-length contracts: three years or five years. For some reason, HF changed that with men’s basketball (not women’s basketball, which is why we’re in the current mess).
HF gave Nash a rollover contract, which meant that every year he is evaluated. The end of Nash’s first year coincided with the start of Donovan’s first year, so Nash didn’t get a rollover. So after this season, Nash’s contract had run down two years.
Nash deserved to receive an initial five-year contract. By rolling him over, with a fifth year as an option, he’s getting it. That’s only fair, particularly since he’s making squat compared to other D-I coaches.
Scott Enos ~ He sounds like another offensive scoring weapon for the good guys!
Welcome to the Warrior World *Scooter!*
Aloha Kakahiaka!
HAUOLI LAHANAU MRS. LONG TIME UH FAN!!!
Healing Happiness!!!
Whoosh!
Good Morning All! š
How’s errybody doing this fine day? How are you Mr. Tsai? I din’t see the announcement about the Rolovich’s new baby til this morning. Sweety told me that yesterday she saw a guy who looked like Greg Alexander at Queen’s and that he was a proud new Papa… š Congrats to Coach and Mrs. Rolo on the new “Rollete”. š
Welcome Mr Enos!
Happy Birtday to Mrs. LTUH! š
Happy Aloha Friday to all! and Happy Birthday Mrs. LongTime UHFan! See you all soon.
Hey, did you catch Mrs. Bulla on the tube yesterday?
She was speaking on behalf of the hotel workers, who would be greatly affected if a severe hotel room tax were imposed.
Two more coaches are on deck: the wives of Stutzmann and Aranda are due in the next couple of weeks.
I just saw a commercial for bacon.
I thought it was one of those products, like Spam or Vienna Sausage, that didn’t need advertising.
I guess the swine flu news has shaken the bacon folks.
Hmmm….seems to me these are “football season” babies that the coaches wives are having. When did they have the time?
I heard traffic on King Street was unreal yestahday. Cars double parked near Ritchies Drive-in caused a 5 mile back up from 11:30 until well aftah 2 PM.
Witnesses say that a very short Filipino male may have been the reason for the traffic snarl. They say he is a known Tsaiko, and to exercise extreme caution when approaching him.
I saw Lyn yesterday on the news.
Congrats to Scott Enos!
Happy Aloha Friday!
Esme & out…
Mrs. Longtime UH Fan is having a birthday? Too bad we all can’t make it over to your party tonite. Bad timing. We’re all saving our voices for the massive KK tomorrow night. Have a great time anyway…and many happy returns!
Good Morning Tsaikos!!
Happy Birthday to Mrs LTUH Fan.
Welcome to the Warrior Ohana Scott Enos. No matter what, do NOT take any kicking pointers from anyone with the last name eBolla.
Don’t know if you folks listened to the Bball game on the radio yesterday. It was difficult to listen to. Poor Don, I think he was trying to not start to giggle out of frustration, particularly when describing the FS homeruns.
It was amazing, actually sounded like Don was call batting practice at some points in the game. Even I had to laugh out of sheer frustration. The alternatives would have been to leave the radio on and go crazy or simply turn it off.
Yeah Ralph #23, I made a statement yesterday with sort of the same thought. We hype these 7′ guys we appear to land (outside of Idaho, U of Montana, South Dakota or North Dakota) but I’ve yet to see one tear up. May sound funny but I think the last good big guy we had besides Tommy Barker was Melton Werts, and that was when we still played in the “HIC” (now called the Blaisdell).
On nfl.com, it says that Pisa Tinoisamoa was released by the Rams today.
Happy Birthday Mrs. LTUHF!!
dj – if the babies are due now, that means pre-training camp. hehehehehe.
So, if we count backward, we’re looking at August 2008?
Sup tsaikos.
Kekoa
Traffic was under control.
Lots of people drive through for grind. They going ban eating and driving next.

Menehunes represent.
JJ
If u work last night I hope u nevah get mobbed by the civil union hearing, if Koamahu was there.
Koakane
Sorry but little too late yesterday, we was out and about. Next time.
YPO:
Nice catch.
Stephen-
I saw the byootiful and talented Mrs. Bulla on the KITV news at 5, and immediately called Herr Buller to give him the heads up. He watched and saw her on the 6 o’clock edition… Mrs. Bulla is a terrific manager at her hotel and has a tremendous passion for her job, her guests and her employees. The occupancy rate at her hotel is far above the average for Waikiki these days. Two family members stayed at her hotel on separate occasions and the service was truly excellent. š
ST – #72 – yep, early August, count back 40 weeks from due date.
not to worry we can pound um with frank tomorrow.
We can’t help but notice that KS Kapalama is still in the winning bracket at States. š
Speaking of States, congrats to Cassie for her awesome showing in the State HS Golf Championships!
ST – is Pisa’s release related to salary cap issues or something else?
Aloha and good morning everyone…
Interesting last minute recruit… I guess Enos will kick the field goals and point afters and Symonds will be used on kickoffs. That’ll give Symonds a couple of years to really get his leg behind the ball, get used to the pressure situations, and bring home the LEGacy of great kickers from UH.
Hmmm… No post by Tanisha Milca today…
Focus… Nevada is “on deck” today… Focus…
Screw “mojo”.
Ignore superstitions and rituals. Until death comes, no calamity should be feared.
dpk 50 % not so bad since KS had two team in the tourny.
I always felt that Nash was handicapped with only a three-year contract so late in the recruiting period. That didn’t give him enough time to build from scratch and forced his hand into the JC pool more often than not. The performance requirements with two years remaining again demand immediate results from his recruiting efforts. So, he needs players that have already demonstrated some success at a level higher than any highschool competition. All of which again points to JC recruiting.
Good luck to Nash! I really want to see him do good.
Word, Monarch Bruddah!
Too bad it was brother against brother in the semis… š
So wut KK, you goin’ back to your alama mater and teach aftah you retire?
Jm:
I think they drafted a couple of linebackers. And he did make some money. But, sheesh ….
I bet the Dolphins pick him up. He seems like a Parcells guy.
You can be the Jedi master, helping to turn out more “manly always” fyootchah Monarchs.
BTW after the Sainthood of the excellent Father Damien, will they change the school’s name?
Good morning, Tsai-ko ohana!
Happy Birthday, Mrs. LTUF!
WTH?? Re: Tinoisamoa….what happend?
Is it Saturday yet?
*gulp* *gulp* *gulp*
Happy Birthday Mrs. LongTimeUHFan (Lorna)!
It’s the Not For Long….Hoping that Pisa can land somewhere soon…
KOAKIDFOOTBALL?
There’s a Kampground of America in Hawaii?
Good morning everyone!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MRS. LONG TIME UH FAN !!!
…great hostess and grand lady to a grand gentleman!
Parker finised 5 over..the cut is even…Wie is currently 4 under…
At least Pisa was released early. He has a chance to catch on. Bad thing is he’s now in the same market with Adam and Solly.
It’s hard to imagine that Pisa wouldn’t be picked up by somebody… pretty quickly even.
Well, if Pisa’s free tomorrow, there is a matter of karaoke . . .
Looks like the Rams will save $2.257 million by cutting Pisa. Plus, Spagnuolo has been revamping the roster big time.
http://myespn.go.com/blogs/nfcwest/0-9-48/Cutting-Tinoisamao-continues-Rams–roster-churn.html
Welcome Scott! And happy birthday Mrs. LTUH!
parker mclachlin shot 2 over 74 and t121 currently at 5 over total
dean wilson is 1 over thru 10 holes and t126 currently at 6 over total
michelle wie is 1 under thru 11 holes and t28 currently at 2 under total
OK, I’m at home watching “Saved by the Bell.” In my defense, it is the summer episode with Leah Remini. But yet … I think I need to get out of the house.
Well, by my calculations, UH will have three kickers and two punters in camp. Not sure what they’ll do with the second long snapper.
Happy Birthday Mrs. Long Time UH Fan!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XD-RSIxKEHE
some more scott enos 2008 highlights, not sure if posted
already. looks like most kickoffs near back of endzone, some
though were returnable and low flighted, or it appeared to be
to me.
One of the Web sites said Enos’ kickoffs had a 4.0 hangtime in high school. That’s good, right?
ST,
That is a lot of kicks and punters to have in camp! Especially when considering the limited number of camp spots and the tough cuts that have to be made to Warriors who cannot be in camp but will be invited back when school starts, the extra kickers mean that roster spots will be that much more difficult to get.
I thought that the plan over the past year was to try to get a walk-on punter and kicker because of the limited number of scholarships available. However, it seems that Alex and Scott are extremely worthy of scholarships and are good additions to the Warriors, so I’m happy.
And I’m sure Luke Ingram will be on scholarship at mid-year.
Pisa might just end up on the 49’ers since his home is in Cali and his mom is there too. He’d be joining up with Ulbrich and Sopoaga too. Don’t know what SF’s situation is with LB’s…Jason? A-House? watcha tink?
The NCAA football game from Electronic Arts will be very different if Keller’s lawsuit succeeds.
A most HAPPY BIRTHDAY and Aloha Friday to Mrs LTUHF!!!
D-1 ~
Re: KOA
I thought the same thing! That’s a steep price. The t-shirts must be bullet proof!
ST: Yes! Please step away from your television…..
Happy birfday to Mrs. Long Time UH Fan!!!!
Latest rumor out of Bullaville is that the 1st Wing of the Jager Bomber squadron will be landing at tomorrow’s Karaoke Call after an earlier sortie elsewhere.
If true, along with Hawaiianbod, this means that Rob25’s Karaoke Bash for Frank25 is near sell out/maximum capacity–maybe 2 spots remaining…
4 seconds is very good hang time, though i saw a few kickoffs with hangtime of only 3 seconds, at 2:45 mark of video. of course this could be the video perhaps? dont know. i dont question his leg strength, just the flight of the ball but this video was compiled in 2008 of last year. i guess my eyes are playing tricks on me. š
I can’t remember if I said this earlier, but even if I did it is worth saying:
Welcome Back Frank!
Today is here Wahine, well one of many possible “its” should there be a tomorrow after today.
Nevada has had our number many times. This season we had them in one game and we could of just as easily had them in another game, but that slipped away. Miscommunication. Nevada is good and you all know that better than any spectator. All it takes is one though. Just one win which looms as large as one last loss.
You all enjoy your time with each other on the softball field and there is no one that has the right to say that you do not deserve to continue on.
March on and fight for today because every day you compete in this tournament is a gift and not a given right.
A lot of you have tasted a WAC championship before and you are still here today and there are reasons for this. Today you have the opportunity to further justify those reasons.

“Champions keep playing until they get it right.” – Billy Jean King
Kekoa….
Quite possibly, the day before the camp starts they’ll rename it.. “One on ONE with Coach Tormey”
Hey? Howcome nobody says anything about the error in the camp link Koa Kid Football Camp above?
BG: While I’d love to have him in SF, I don’t think it’ll happen. I think the coaching staff wants to see if Manny Lawson can really step into the starting role and become the star we all think he can be. Then again, we have very little quality OLB depth, so I wouldn’t mind seeing them sign Pisa to a one-year contract, at the very least. It could start a competition, see if Manny’s light turns on when some heat is applied to his backside.
lorena ochoa is 5 under thru 10 holes and leading at 12 under total.
michelle wie is 3 under thru 14 holes and 4 under total and t17 currently
She looks the same now as she did back then.
Colomaohana,
from yest’s blog….
what pictures are you talking about?
Happy Birthday Mrs LTUH
Stephen, take a look at this article
http://myespn.go.com/blogs/others/0-4-376/Quarterback-battles-in-the-WAC.html
That sure is news to everyone, is she right? Or misinformed?
Wha happen to the blog?.. I thought I broke it when I posted that URL to the football camp. Sheesh…
At least now I know.. HostGator… eh?
thats an interesting ESPN article, wonder if there is a change and if Rausch is the starter now.
Re: #120
misinformed or poor research…..
chawan_cut: hehehe….Uh….from da tgate..well, at the game, when you WEREN’T sitting by us…..
I would tell you to ask homey, but he probably doesn’t remember much from that day…..
With regards to ESPN and UH Athletics that tends to be the case. š
I can imagine the Coach’s phones are ringing off the hook now and Mack’s email box is getting backlogged.
happy birthday lorna!
we got to have lunch one day soon……….
ST: I can see the blog again. Looks like it was a brief cable outage in our neighborhood– whew š
MACK SAYS ALEXANDER IS THE STARTING QB.
OK, why did I write that in CAPS?
It’s because ESPN.com messed up and said it’s Rausch.
It’s not.
Mack says it’s Alexander.
OK, back to Saved by the Bell …
mih….it would make more sense for a team to have one kicker handle all of the duties and one punter. ideally, like last year, if the punter could be the holder, you save two travel roster spots not having two kickers and one specific holder.
so on the road, usually there is just one kicker.
it will be interesting because the word is that the kevin bell hs walk on is pretty darn good too. competition is good.
Now I have to figure out who broke my blog.
Seems like every time we’re on a roll with page views, there’s a mysterious “maintenance” program implemented.
ST…
awww should have let the controversy rage for a week or so… now what are we gonna dis & cuss?
MIH:
Naw, we had to quell that one early, especially with Alexander missing Junior Day.
Al:
Bell is a very good kicker.
As they say: “Game on.”
…an after thought
does offering scott enos at this late juncture tell an understory?
two things,
one, does this mean the last scholie will not be awarded to a current non-scholie player?
two, does this mean (worse case scenario) that one of the early commits will not make it through?
three, or does this mean that enos was too good to pass up?
i am sure that st knows for sure.
Oh yeah… Alex admitting he “dropped the ball” and then this.. LOL… you could really make a case out of that..
colomaohana,
sorry! i had to sit next to my friend the groom (tombo ahi) and his fiance. they just arrived that day and wanted to make it to the game.
i agree that bell is a very good kicker. looking at stats and film of this kid, i am wondering???????? hmmmmm.
i wonder if icecube is having melting moments about now?
but, yeah. competition is good for the program and individual. after all complacency breeds mediocrity.
like you so perfectly said, “Game on”
#131 maybe it was dave r.
i am sure he still lurks. remember when he used to post to defend his honor. haahahaha. some historical moments in blog legend.
Brew post #25 if you get up 2 hours earlier we can have a chat and I won’t be posting by myself…Las Vegas, HiFlyer and BigHilo use to post in the wee hours but lately they have not been on the blog…
Pisa would look good in Silver and Black- Go Raiders!
al- the other day, “BrandX” posted some info – about the High School BB champs, I think – on the blog.
Al are you coming to the KK?
chawan_cut: Uh..okay…..that’s not what homey said….
Well, I’ll let you see the pics as soon as Mr C downloads them….
what a difference a year makes….
an ex-hc is recruiting specifically for special team players.
an ex-oline coach of the midwest is in minnesota recruiting olinemen for hawaii.
now i see why and how important it is to have tormey and shaw aboard. not only improving db’s, special teams, and oline play but increasing our span on the recruiting front like never before.
the wisdom of mack is surfacing each day.
what took folks so long to hire him as a head coach?
seems like he has had his vision-of-what-he-would-do-if-he-ever-became-a-head-coach dancing in his head for years just waiting for the chance.
don’t we all do that since we were kids?
“dream on little broomstick cowboy….”
is september around the corner?
…nuff said
lizk…..do you think it was really him????
btw, looks like kenny e. will get some pt in the rotation.
al,
Hold that thought…Now I’m wonding if Enos isn’t linked to some future recruit that the coaches are targeting, too.. hmm… the conspiracy continues.
ok…so i lied. š i had to say this: Happy Birthday Aunty (Mrs. LTUHF)!
ralphie…..thanks for your genuine concerns.
but, no. i’ll have to skip the kk. i have had this chest cold for a week now and in fact will finally go to the doc’s today. (okay i promised the boss and my mom, sort of like their mother’s day gift)
here i was practicing my kk skills all month.
ST – re Saved by the Bell
Elizabeth Berkley=Showgirls= šÆ
Hawaiianbod – glad to see you out and about!
al- GET WELL SOON. I’m bringing poi.. sorry you are going to miss.
Pray for a good SALT season this year. Last year no more nuttin! I hope to be able to learn how to be a helper in the ponds this year too.
there’s a ‘brand x’?!?! you could have fooled me. hehehe.
tks liz
so scott enos comes from the same sierra college that josh leonard came from. that school turns out consistent winners in that tough north cal jc league.
yes, it would be good to re-establish our recruiting base there.
b4 i forget – re #38 – Howzit Loa!
morning gang!
wonder if Scott has any local ties?
ah saved by the bell, cast went on to other things after the show,
even Screech was on a reality show š
Happy Birthday Mrs. Long Time UH Fan!
Happy belated birthday to Lori
Hawaiianbod – howzit! ready for sing?
mahalo Liz! š ur sooo sweet
wassup Loa! sorry but no can sing 2 save my life.
me thinks someone will pick up Pisa
what was the name of that show where they featured Pisa and Isaako on draft day?
al – take care that cold, can sing next time
to all,
thanks for the kind words for lyn, she was on the news last night because we were at the capitol supporting Gov. Lingle’s vetoes.
have a great weekend!
was it called Polynesian Power?
good kuck to pisa! one of the ultimate ultimate warriors. as a proven commodity in the No Fun League he should have NO problem latching-on with a team.
Jason:
if the niners were to pick up pisa i don’t think it would be at OLB, in there 3-4 scheme pisa would fit nicely in the middle rotating with takeo spikes or just to provide depth. The outside linebacker in their scheme seems to be hybrid de/olb type of guys while pisa is prototypical olb in a 4-3 scheme, i think he would be good in a cover 2, maybe he’ll replace derrick brooks in tampa or provide assistance in detroit(they need all the help they can get)…………i don’t think he’ll be with the niners, btw niners for life cheeeeeeeee
kuck=luck
Bulla – howzit
in case anyone missed it – http://www.kitv.com/video/19403304/index.html
did you see that they corrected the error about rausch being the starter on that espn article, the wonderful worldwide web
Al:
I think if 100 percent of the recruits make it, then, yes, they should be maxed out on scholies.
mauiwarrior:
After you guys alerted me, I e-mailed the reporter.
She’s actually a blog reader.
Loa,
it was called Polynesian Power.
Bulla:
Where can we get one of those “veto” stamps.
It looked pretty cool, the way Lingle pounded the stamp.
And then Aiona was applauding in the back.
I used to cover ILH basketball, and Aiona was an assistant coach. He’s much calmer now
There’s a nice “Polynesian Power” poster in the UH football lobby.
To see it, you have to go past the two signs that read: No media allowed beyond this point.
al, probably not 1 right? i was under the assumption that a walkon would get a 85 scholie and not a 25 scholie. i think as long as they been enrolled in school for 2 years, they can get a 85 scholie. enos is getting our last 25 scholie…?
al, your #145:
just be real thankful that Coach Mack is with UH – hope he decides to stay past his first 5 year contract.
YpoWarrior – thanks, i enjoyed that show, chicken skin kine
Ralph:
Keep on dreaming about Pisa being in black and Silver – Pisa will be dolling out back and blues to the Raiders as a 49er!!!!!!!!!
Pisa Tinoisamoa had choke injuries the past couple years and hasn’t played a full season healthy since his rookie year. He was still beastin with the injured shoulder, arm, etc…but I think the Rams are trying to revamp and cannot wait on Pisa to be at full strength. I hope his injuries are behind him cause he was one of the most productive and underrated linebackers in the NFL when healthy. He will land somewhere as will Travis Laboy pretty soon once teams weed out guys through mini-camp. These two guys are proven and still have many years ahead of them, just gotta stay healthy…IMO
Stephen – isn’t Robert Kekaula a Ram’s fan
Loa:
He’s a ticked-off Rams fan right now. He’s mad they cut Pisa.
Well, he’s also mad about losing Kurt Warner a while ago.
al:
what ever happened to the Minnesota high school O-line man that was a big Warrior fan and wanted to play for UH?
was he ever recruited? committed to another school?
what happened to the line backer from Chicago – believe he was at a Catholic school – is he with UH?
what’s your take on the Jesse Williams situation?
what about the patriot’s, they seem to pick up a lot of experienced players
thanks st.
ahouse….methinks mack will be a lifer if hawaii will have him.
Enos does count as a 25.
I’ve lost track of who’s grayshirting, although I hear the coaches, if they could, would grayshirt 10 players a year.
They like the idea of a guy essentially having six years to play four.
#181 – woah, i’d hate to piss him off
Kekaula is coming to karaoke tomorrow.
Speaking of recruits, cannot wait to see Chad Lopati, Marcus Malepeai, T.J. Alofipo, Veni Manu and the rest of the incoming freshmen in akshon!
cc – no worries about any fotos, especially of any odda wahine. wot, u no like da foto of me in my thong?!?! u rememba u always used to sing dat song to me – Let Me See Ur Thong. i sooo embarassing li’dat airing my ‘dirty laundry’ in da public.
i miss u babe!!!!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
I wanna see George Daily-Lyles out there.
i hope no one asks him what he thinks about the release
A couple of the recruits are on the bubble. I hear they’re going back and forth between going to a JC or going to a non-football-playing school on Oāahu. The day of the week depends on their answer.
ST
Speaking of George Daily-Lyles where did his boy Iuta Tepa sign???
Shout out to Moanalua boys volleyball OIA white champs.
Also to Moanalua boys baseball for the beat down of Iolani.
All hail Moanalua.
Tepa is going to UCLA, I think.
It’s weird. Once they decide to go elsewhere, I totally blank out on them.
So what’s the story on a female Big Island basketball player who committed to a Pac-10 school now deciding to go to UH or Oregon?
tsai, tell them HPU is the route to go! its 1 year and no guarantee UH will offer them again out of JC.
question, when was the last time that a hawaii commit that didnt qualify make it back to UH after completing his AA?
ahouse….kevin konrath is at portland state after transferring from harper jc. he left uh after a year of redshirting.
http://www.goviks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=19300&ATCLID=3735372
Oh yeah UCLA, the frikkin poachaz…
I like UCLA but dayumit Norm Chow is a rat…
Some of the players told me they were disappointed that Konrath was essentially cut loose. They liked him.
Actually, I think most are using West Oahu.
UH system, so credits transfer easily.
so i was under the impression we had 1 25 and 1 85 scholie left. was it actually we had only 1 scholie left and the coaches were debating whether to give it to a current player or a newcomer?
im probably just confusing everyone.
If anybody’s keeping track:
Search committee for women’s basketball has met twice.
Search committee for men’s volleyball met for the first time yesterday.
good point, im sure UH WO is cheaper than HPU too. i didnt realize Manoa and West Oahu had different entrance requirements.
I think there will be a couple of scholarships available come training camp.
letgowarriors:
it’s complicated.
ahouse….every year hundreds of kids near and abroad send in their recruiting tapes to manoa. there are so many variables involved in finally landing a recruit.
grades, potential, money (scholie or not), parents, girlfriends, etc, etc.
the first two must have to happen to be considered. does he have the grades and academic aptitude to be student at manoa? does he have the d1 ability, size, potential, et al? can’t get past the first two then nothing transpires.
as far as the aussie, to me, poor background check by the coaching staff during jj’s time. to bring a foreign recruit takes a lot of discovery and double checking. somebody didn’t do this. i think he is at a jc now.
but the rewards can be magnificent.
UH always admits a certain number of partial-qualifiers ā in all programs. If you go to West Oahu, your NCAA clock doesn’t start. If you go to UH, not only does your NCAA clock start, but you’re ineligible to play, anyway.
a few graduations like eliminian and the like would release some of the 85 limit wouldn’t it?
#173
ST, yest the LG is a lot more calm, but then again, I haven’t seen the Gov miss a layup yet, haha
The VETO stamp was cool. Rick Hamada’s kids got her lei and the pen the Gov used to sign the Vetoes, I just wanted the stamp to go veto the offices of the senators and reps…..power of the media, i tell you, Hamada was smooth, and Rick is not a small guy. Using his 2 kids was a great idea.
maybe i should have took ‘The Beast’, carried him on my shoulder like Rick did with his kids….ok, that would not work.
Anyway, a great day in the political life of our state.
Quote of the day,
‘if the senate was in charge of the desert, they’d run out of sand’.
Not sure if anyone saw it ā because we couldn’t go live and the replay is so choppy ā but Tuioti said that every prospect in the state is evaluated. I know a lot of people think that UH is missing out on this person or that person, but they do pore through videos and evaluations.
Report from Raiders’ minicamp indicates that Samson is still recovering from his knee surgery. Maybe Samson’s injury and Grove’s current good health was a factor in Miami picking Grove over Samson? Miami is really focused on their offseason weight training program and minicamps, and Samson isn’t healthy enough to participate in minicamps yet.
i was under the impression that regardless of a school having a football program or not, your eligibility clock starts as soon as you enroll in an institution full-time. and then on top of that, as a partial, you dont get your 4th year back unless you make good progress on your degree.
that’s what’s got me so confused about the blaze situation.
everytime i review the gdl tapes….i see another solly e. linebacker of the future. he also is of great character and an excellent student.
This ceremony should be a nice tribute Frank Gansz.
ST,
check out this website
http://www.uhwo.hawaii.edu/
Is West Oahu not part of UH? i am confused…
I’m told Marcus Malepeai wants to grayshirt. That would be a great thing for him.
mauiwarrior: Geez, you read my mind concerning all the things I didn’t say. I was actually thinking the exact same thing you said, but I don’t think he’d challenge in the inside with Willis and Spikes. Plus, there’s a little bit more depth on the inside with Ulbrich and others. Very little depth outside; I know Pisa’s not the typical hybrid 3-4 OLB, but he could transition. I guess what I’m trying to say is if they’re going to invest money on a veteran, it’ll be someone for the outside. Hmm, Travis LaBoy, anyone? š
(Hey, I wouldn’t mind they sign Travis for the outside and Pisa for the inside. Hmm, Vantz Singletary is on the staff now …)
But yeah, I’m with you, he’s best as a 4-3 weakside linebacker. I could see him in a cover 2 system as well.
Is it too early to say CONGRATS to Mr. and Mrs. Tombo Ahi ??
Al:
No, graduations only help at mid-year. Scholarships are one-year deals, so Elimimian’s scholarship comes off the books at the end of this month, no matter if he graduates or not.
Nine players graduated in December, which is how UH was able to offer scholies to three grayshirts and five JC transfers. Funaki was one of the graduates, so his scholie wasn’t thrown back into the pool.
211…yah i caught that. let that put to rest to any folks crying ‘wolf’.
Polynesian Power:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GJwcohkV30
West Oahu is part of the UH system, just like UH Hilo is part of the UH system. But because it doesn’t offer football, the clock doesn’t trigger, as I understand it.
Hey, UCLA can do the same thing. All it needs is for a student to find a non-football-playing UC school.
ST:
use your influence to encourage parents of Big Island girl to make it UH!
Big Hilo Fan – big guy, we need your help in this one!!!
she can play with Kanekoa from Honokaa!
BTW, is twin sister of UH BB from Punahou player really coming to UH?
notice, I use generalities cause I porgot names – that’s really sad!
so what stops a non-qualifier from going to KCC for 2 years earning his AA, then having 5 to play 4 besides the fact that they might not be discipline enough to stay in shape?
Boy, to do that in the UC system as a non-resident….$$$
“saved by the bell”….
two things, really only two this time.
one, never could figure out how a latino, mario lopez was cast as “slater”.
two, if kevin bell becomes our kicker one day and hits the game winning fg, your headline would be, no doubt, saved by the bell. (you can thank me later)

May 8th, 2009 at 7:19 am
Hmmm….seems to me these are “football season” babies that the coaches wives are having. When did they have the time?
all’s I need is the time between position meetings and stretch & warm ups!
re: Saved By The Bell….got three words for you, Tiffany Amber Thiessen. Hubba Hubba!
Can anyone say, “Double entendre?”
I saw Leila Wai after the Roosevelt/Waianae boys volleyball match last night interviewing players, I hope she will be there again for Saturday’s match and that she asks Roosevelt’s Kenneth Rewick if he is going to UH next year. That kid has tons of potential at 6′ 7 and still growing and reminds me alot of Clay Stanley at his age.
Stephen is the girl’s basketball player thats no longer going to a Pac 10 school Vicky Taglicod? She would be a huge pickup for UH.
Re: Saved by the Bell.
Remember they had Tori, who reminded everyone of Jo from Facts of Life?
sheesh. no wonder the compliance guy had problems.
i guess developing a matrix on eligibility would behoove one who has to decipher all the quirky rules and regs of the ncaa.
thanks for the info.
okay, now i really gotta go get some work and lab work done.
Saved By the Bell… never saw it.
I am, however, full of knowledge about Bonanza. That show occupied 1/2 of my allotment of TV per week – back in the day.
ST…
What is a Scholarship “agreement”?
Does that mean the Schollie might not kick in till Jan?
ST: Thanks for emailing that writer the correct info for our qb situation, pretty cool that she’s a blog reader, although it must be so she put info into her blog, thief
Jason: Sorry about that, whenever there is niner talk i get excited, glad to see that there are people out there who have a similar passion for football(warriors and niners)……..what you think playoffs next year, its been a while since we watched our team in january? laboy on the outside would be a treat…..he could teach pars and manny a few things

vballfan1,
If one does a search for “Kenneth Rewick” a number of influential people here and in the US mainland pop up. Is he related to one?
parting shot of the day…..
here is my mother’s day card to the boss. although, she is not my mother as i keep saying and getting beat up for saying.

Wow, just got this in an e-mail:
A student living in a UH MĆ¢noa residence hall has tested positive for H1N1 flu (swine flu). The student reported to the University Health Services MĆ¢noa on Wednesday with flu-like symptoms and the test was today confirmed by the Hawai’i State Department of Health. The student is recovering from what appears to be a mild illness.
Other students and staff members who have been in close contact with the student are being notified and will be evaluated. The affected areas of the Hale Wainani residence hall are being disinfected. The student and two roommates, who are displaying symptoms of the illness, are being isolated in separate rooms.
Anyone who shows signs of flu-like illness contact the University Health Services at 956-8965. Symptoms of H1N1 virus include: sudden fever, coughing, sore threat, body aches and pains/fatigue.
Chancellor Virginia S. Hinshaw said, “As everyone is aware, influenza is a current concern in Hawaii so all of us should follow good infection control practices, including avoiding others if you are sick with flu symptoms. That will help reduce the spread of the virus.”
Health officials continue to stress the importance of following the recommended public health guidelines – cover your cough or sneeze, wash your hands often and do not come to work or school if you are sick.
There are currently no changes to university operations or activities and the campus is operating normally.
so, the big island girl who may de-commit from a pac 10 school is turning around and going to manoa, right?
is this a new form of reverse recruiting?
you know, the coach gets fired so now the recruit comes to the school.
…duh
The H1N1 hysteria is interesting.
Hundreds of people die from the “regular” flu during the winter time all across this country.
Well, whatever they can plug into the news to distract from the crappy economy is worth talking about I guessā¦
We’ll be fine. Wash your hands, no swim in the Ala Wai, and don’t eat the rubber-yaki beef at Zippy’s and everything will be A-OK. š
Jason:
Mahaloz for da’ scoops!
That sucks, huh???
It’ll be interesting to see what happens if more students start reporting sickness. I know for a fact that a cold has been going around for a while (my cold comes and goes, comes and goes). With finals and graduation next week …
don’t *gag*
i wonder if shawna lei’s alleged decision to enroll at hawaii have something to do with vicky’s reversal? they were off season teammates, in particular, the cal storm a very elite california tournament team where they both garnered all tourney recognition.
hmmm.
blessed would be, the new coach.
ST – Full-time academic status = 12 semester credits or equivalent quarter credits. A student-athlete’s clock starts when he enrolls “full-time” his clock can stop for Religious Mission or Military Service – to be re-started when exceptions are completed. Gray shirts are considered “part-time” and clock will start when they register for full-time credits usually in the Spring of following year.

I gave up on that website. For one, I no like download flash where I am, and two my mobile gametracker on my phone does not carry softball information.
The one Stretch linked to is better than the CSTV one, though. The latter was two batters slow!
UH tied the game at 1 with a triple by tauali’i scoring warwick

re 269: ‘you must say we do have great chili’.
see what happens when i eat too much of our cardboard mahimahi.
crap, a triple then single tied the score at 2
actually the squeeze play is rare in softball because the runner can not take a lead until the pitched ball crosses the home plate. it therefore, is rarely used at the higher levels, little league yah.
perhaps a bunt and run would be more in order only if the infield is playing a bit back. otherwise it would be more suicidal than a squeeze. they would have more of a chance with a slap hit or fly ball.
good thing the triple came first.
nev w/ 1st & 3rd – 2 outs game tied
I’m gonna go have a cigarette right now.
Phew, that’s a sigh of relief. Extra softball!
kazz….better have two.

Too bad for the Wahine.
Rainbow Wahine Softball finish 4th in the WAC
Hard lessons to learn for the underclassmen and a hard “aloha” for the eight veterans on this team.
While hard to accept as a fan, it doesn’t come out of the blue. This year’s Wahine softball team had it’s shares of problems on the field as much as the positives. Coach Coolen and his staff did a remarkable job in keeping this team from bottoming-out in the beginning and continued to perform well on the road winning all but one of their conference series. That one team today proved why they were the ONLY WAC team to win their series against us.
For us, a season of struggles, success, and a bittersweet ending comes to a close.
Eight will move on with their lives and the rest return to have another go at it next season.
Personally speaking, I want to thank all the Wahine softballers for all their efforts and sacrifice. Emotions must be running high up there in Fresno right now.
Again,
I extend my “mahalo” to the young ladies that performed admirably, especially in this last contest. No one can take away your effort, heart, and soul.
The fans will look forward again to another spring of Wahine Softball in 2010 filled with familiar faces and new faces ready to accept the right to wear “HAWAII” on their jerseys.
BaseBows still get chance.
Ready for this score:
SJSU 24 NMSU 5 @ Las Cruces, 10 run rule.
Sparts w 30 hits, 4 HRS.
SAC 10 NEV 4, wolfpack 5th.
Wow. NaMaSU was able to score a field goal and a safety?
Here we go again. We better stop um now before the game gets out of hand again.
Vinnie hasnt been playing good glove, starting w the homestand against SAC.
Let the hit party start up again.
WF,
Vinnie’s head is not in it anymore, hitting and glove wise.
To double your baseball fun, Moanalua vs. Kailua in the state semi-final right now on OC16. KS-Kapalama vs. Punahou to follow.
It’s gonna get bad in a little while. Another error, the boyz have no focus whatsoever.
It’s time to suck it up for Sisto. It’s only a one run game. What a joke.
NEV scored 7 runs in 5th to take a 11-10 lead over SAC.
Let’s hold um down.
The nightmare is over for one inning 8-7 good guys.
Part of the problem w our young pitchers is their inability to develop the off-speed and curveball stuff and throw it with consistency.
The batters are waiting on their straight stuff.
Vinnie! Vinnie! Vinnie! š
Finally Vinnie gets his head back. Homerun 9-7 bows
SAC tied it up 11-11, 2 outs, top 6th.
Slaats mixin pitches–if he can hit his spots, we will be OK.
Fresnecks are lookin for the fastball.
Happy birthday Mrs. Long Time UH Fan!!!
Great diving catch coming in by Moanalua CF to rob Kailua of a bloop single. Kailua batting, 2-1, btm 4th.
Al,
What you knew?
Third time this seasom Roguemore has lost it in the sun or lights….geez, we are supposed to be a D team.
š
NEV scored 2 in home-half of 6th to lead 13-11.
RE: Wahine Softball. At large bid again???
Sheesh. I think I might have been pre-mature in my earlier post, but Coach Coolen seemed to be very adimant that the Wahine will not be able to secure an at large bid into the NCAA tournament. Coolen noted the RPI this year (90-ish) compared to previous years, BUTā¦.

13-13 @ Peccole Park, bottom 7th.
I gotta go make some unauthorized Song Request Slips….
š
heheheh
Bye bye Bows. Choke time once again. ARGH!!!
d1: Stop stealing my ideas!
I mean … just kidding, SteveM! š
SAC rallied to go ahead in the 8th than hung on to beat the wolfpack, 14-13.
SAC is now 6-9 and FSU is 8-10, not looking good for HAW, 9-12.
Dang. Time for bed — it was a long week.
I feel bad for the base Bows. How frustrated they must be. I don’t know if it’s a stamina thing.. or just plain psychological. They just seem to lose too much steam in the latter innings.
Hey Ralph,
Why do you care who Hawaii recruits for their girly, girl basketball team? Did you ever watch those games on TV? The center and arenas were empty!
Still, maybe, the girl team were better fundamentally coached better then the mens. Maybe the mens would be better off with Goo V.?
Got plenty of song slips–the trick is to start using them immediately…otherwise there could be theoretically too many song slips for the midnight end time. d1shima and Lyn–who are usually the designated song starters at large karaoke calls, will both be late–so their 6 additionalstarter/group songs will go elsewhere–probably to LizKauai and other lead Tsingers who are there early.
Rob25 has a cache of song slips to give out for special requests. š Remember, she has a list of songs…so there will be duets and special songs by their request. I’m sure Jason will be able to serenade his ladies…
Na Wahine loses 4-2 but Ricketts surrendered only one earned run…both runs in the 10 th were unearned.
kama krab,
The former Hawaii bigs who stood out already knew how to play.
Even though former Hawaii big men got (what 17 to 32 something rebounds in a game, dominated the inside in some games, 29 plus rebounds a game, I ain’t kidding). Hawaii coaches don’t know how to teach big guys to handle a basketball! Look into UH Hawaii basketball historical.
Good Evening Everybody,
I want to thank all of you for the wonderful posts you people put up for my birthday. It’s just amazing how our ohana has expanded with the numerous online friends we have made through the Warrior Beat. My husband and I thank all of you for your thoughtfulness and just for being there for us throughout the years. Hopefully one day we’ll be able to join you folks again at a KK, CC, tailgate or another WB function. Until then, all of you take care.
Mahalo nui loa,

Hi Garret!!! I had to pause to not interupt the information flow. So what did Lori and family get for a berfday dinner? I knew you’d spring for the free KFC dinner! š š šÆ
Any good 411 on SD native Pisa in your local papers? I think (hope) he has a few more productive years in him with the right situation. š
I’m worried that Ulbrich will soon be looking at the want ads with Pisa & Laboy soon…. š
brew – #394 – not my job. I still think this is way overblown.
brew808,
Hi! You don’t need to pause your posts…I don’t mind my posts being broken up, I’d rather see what everyone else wants to post!
The KFC deal was a bust because they had just stopped taking the offer, so Lori and I ate the free tortillas from Disneyland and then made our own dinner after we got back home. We didn’t mind eating dinner after our kids were asleep at home because we had a *huge* lunch from Chilis (steak meal plus a huge dessert, all free!).
Re: #398 – Oh, oh…. some wise-acre is going to get K-mah to show up at the KK and perform for all… š šÆ
brew808,
No news so far about Pisa in our newspaper. He hasn’t lived in San Diego for a long time–college in Hawaii, NFL in St. Louis, so he doesn’t have much of a following in San Diego.
I’m not worried about Pisa getting a team to play for–he’s been very productive when healthy. Unfortunately, I am worried about Ulbrich–he’s already gone from the LB rotation to mainly special teams contributor, and each year that goes by brings more competition and a team that looks for a younger replacement.
jm9876 – somehow, I picture you as volunteering to administer vaccinations using a BIG needled…. and laughing out loud…. š
I’m glad that you and Lori got your steak dinner (date) the other night…. At least you were home this year…. š
š³ Second part of #407 was for Prof. G…. š³
This Boston Globe article seems to think that the Patriots will immediately try to get Pisa to be their starter at inside LB.
The crazy thing is that Pisa led the Rams in tackles last season!
We had a meeting today that included a discussion about intellectual property. (I thought about you G.) I kept asking questions and everyone kept giving me the evil eye that said “shut up already”…. Oh…. I think I’m getting the same treatment here…. š shock: š
Brew Fleetwood Mac at the Oracle areana May 20
Raiders mini camp starts……good time for them to check out Laboy and Pisa…
Article about how the new coach wants bigger LBs in his system.
areana=arena
Lambs drafted James Laurinaitis, 6-2, 245 from Buckeyes with early 2nd (#35 overall). That’s a big investment – so I guess they had to make room. He’s not that much bigger than Pisa – but youth over experience…. I guess. š
brew808,
I sat through a 4-hour discussion on Intellectual Property last year, and I thought that the subject was covered into overkill! However, my customer required me to attend the meeting, so I just sat there. The 4 hours probably would have been more enjoyable if someone like you was asking questions instead of having the speaker talk for 4 hours in a monotone voice.
Yeah Ralph…. Al can go ahead and crush whatever chances that Pisa & Laboy have playing for the Black and Ravaged! š
Regarding brew808’s #415:
Everyone signs non-disclosure….customer comes in with idea/proposal…. it’s not viable…. but after consultation with the other parties, there’s a better “mouse trap”…. now who “owns” the IP? šÆ
….evil looks… non-verbal “Shut up already!” š
Maybe it’s because Ralph cares about Wahine athletics as much as the men?
Maybe it’s because Ralph doesn’t have gender equality issues?
I’m not Ralph but what say you? Huh? Since you think Wahine Basketball is “girly girly” why should you even give a damn what a UH fan thinks?
another good reason the Rams are losers! Robert K can let his emotions out at the Karaoke tomorrow, go for it big guy cuz the seasons already over for the Rams. they can join the futile 49’ers, once proud teams back in the 40’s to 60’s. Altho Walsh did resurrect the niners with montana. I guess it helps to have a good qb
The Lambs…. lamb stew, rack of lamb, mutton, lamb kabobs, wool, ….. thank goodness for the NFC West that the Lambs are sooooo baaaaaaad!!! š šÆ :roll;
I’ll be honest — I have been pleasantly surprised that Ulbrich has lasted as long as he has. At his age and salary, I thought he was a goner a couple years ago. But the younger guys the 49ers have brought in haven’t panned out, so they’ve kept Ulbrich on. And I wouldn’t say that’s anything against him, cause he’s a good player. But he’s not in his prime anymore, and a veteran salary ($2.63 million in 2009) is big compared to a start-up salary. This is the last year of his contract, though, so I can see them keeping him this one year and possibly letting him go as a FA in 2010. A lot depends on how the new guy they drafted, Scott McKillop, develops.
brew808,
I’m very conservative about IP, so I’d say that the customer owns the IP. However, lots of companies would just go ahead with the better “mouse trap”…and then if that makes a ton of money there would definitely be a lawsuit from the customer. I guess it comes down to how big the changes are to the idea/proposal…and who has the better lawyers.
VC never sign NDAs, so they would just pass the idea as a “suggestion from nowhere” to one of their portfolio companies.
Thanks Ralph!!! Oh wait – I didn’t mean to SHOUT in the morgue that is the Raider Nation!!! š
Jason,
The contract might have actually helped Ulbrich with the 49ers, as cutting him with years left on his contract would have given a cap hit by accelerating the cap hit from his signing bonus. However, there is no cap hit for cutting a player in his last year of his contract…which is Ulbrich’s situation now.
brew808 — slow down, brew. Breathe. Breathe. Tell the guys in the black suits you need your meds…. š
Re: #423 – oh…. the punk kid chimes in….. š
SteveM – did you hook up with the “Tiger” from SoCal? š
Oh – How did the Menes do Jase? šÆ
Ulbrich has gotten kudos for being a team leader and special teams contributor. I don’t know how he gets along with Singletary. I would have thought they were of the same ilk, but he certainly is not mentioned in any team plans that I’ve heard of…. š
Al Davis is so far ahead of his time in the NFl that no one understands him, not even his coaches but its the idiot who drafted Smith and kept him at qb all these years and followed up with a fat jamarcus at a replacement…got to have a qb, find a Stabler or Lamonica clone and just wing it….got an idea, june jones as qb coordinator and offense coach..
brew808 — no, he was in stealth mode, living up to his high school alter-ego. š
SteveM – I did a quick head count and it looks like more wahine than kane for tomorrow’s KK. Wow – times have changed (for the better)! š
Don’t forget to remind Koakane about the sushi…. š šÆ š
Hey….. just noticed that there’s an “al” in Ralph…. No wonder the admiration…. š :twisted; š
Grr, stupid Kailua. š
Al Davis is so far ahead of his time, even Al Davis doesn’t understand what he’s doing. š
I think Ralph would be perfect for the Raiders coaching staff! š
brew808 — your observation is accurate. I’ve noticed that trend too š
Same trend for cruise ships, except during school breaks. I have been encouraging c_c and (j)j to go cruisin’…and you…and wafan. š
Brew possible wrong count…26 men, 25 women, tie breaker-is J+1 men or women…
Jason you weren’t born when the 49’ers ruled the roost, it was at a time when Whitey and A House were youngsters and Tittle and Hugh Mchallheny sp? led the nivers and thats decades ago….
thanks ralph. mcelhaney, john henry johnson, ya, joe the jet perry, bob st clair, leo nomenelli. i think all are in the hall of fame. ya brought the giants the world champ, i think j h johnson did the same for the steelers. what a backfield. i forgot the name of their receivers, but they were all pro too. billy wilson????
listening to Alley Oop by the Hollywood Argyles….Tittle to R.C. Owens, those were the days
dang ralph, never thought you was young as me and a house.
keep it up gang, the #500 is starting to show up on the horizon. going call it a night cause get game tomorrow and need to leave early. aloha!!!
Joe Arenas, Dicky Moegle sp?, Marion Campbell…
Brew leaves the roost again and its not 3 am, only going on 1 am for you California guys…
Hey, I remember YA and Hugh! also, Joe “Jet” Perry, big Bob St Clair, and Alley oop Owens.
As Dwight Clark told me 3 or 4 years ago, the team is down now, but they will come back!!
So, ralphie, the Raiders will be in for a rough time soon!!!
#446 is not Mrs A-House; darn old fut forgot to change the name again!!
“white shoes” Johnson and Elroy “Crazy Legs” Hirsch(sp) – dang those were the days when radio was “king”.
Mrs A House are you really a forth niner fan or is this A House who forgot to change the blogger name for the upteenth time
I was right, it is A House, into the dog house you go for the umpteenth time…
Hirsch, Fears, van Brocklin. Arnett
No one besides Ralph is old enough to remember when Red Grange was playing in college? Bronko Nagurski? Jim Thorpe? š
Ulbrich has done well for himself, though those injuries did hold him back some.
Pisa’s been hurt, LaBoy’s been injury-prone…we sure get a lot of wounded Warriors, unfortunately. Pisa will find another team I’m sure, hopefully LaBoy will find a new team as well.
Obviously football is a hard game to play injury-free for extended periods of time. We don’t have truckloads of NFL draftees like the big schools do every year, so maybe that why the injuries seem so frequent.
and no one agreed with me yesterday morning before the second day of the state baseball tournament…
al ā¢:
May 7th, 2009 at 8:18 am
would it surprise you if a punahou/kailua final is on the horizon?
not me.
(sorry koakane)
if anybody can disrupt the punahou streak, it will be kailua.
nobody plays with the same “air about them” as does kailua. altho not the most popular guy, he gets the job done, that would be corey ishigo.
enjoy the game tomw folks… it will be classic.
oia vs ilh.
have nots vs haves.
but, its baseball so anything can happen.
jason,
i am glad i don’t remember those players that ahouse, ralph, and whitey are talking about.
kazzy: oooh dat hot machete tempah. hot diggity dog on da grill, lol,
Al you’re a baseball kind of a guy, they didn’t have TV when you were growing up…that’s why the general, Les Keiter, is one of your boyhood heroes who recreated a lot of the games you have imprinted in your head
Al: I guess you’re getting forgetful in your old age. š
Huh?
seriously….crazy legs hirsch and slinging sammy baugh for example were legends my dad spoke about.
now bart starr, jim taylor, paul hornung, joe namath, are those i can id with.
i thought we would crack 500. but, i guess not.
crw – don’t mind the imposter. if you look at the ‘real’ Koa-mahu you can easily tell the difference. this ‘falsie’ only attacks kazz. the ‘real’ one ONLY likes cc and j (j).
uncle al – i gotta give it up to you. >b>YOU ARE DA GURU OF SPORTS!!! not only do you have the ‘inside’ scoops on warrior recruits but you also called the State Finals.
btw, where would i find ‘a little birdy’ too?!?!
Hey alā¢, whats funny is I too made a similar prediction but was way back when:
May 7th, 1991 at 7:34 am
would it surprise you if the kids born this year end up playing for say… addahknow, maybe like punahou or kailua and they end up in the state finals?
not me.
(sorry koakane)
What’s mind boggling is I neva know Koakane back then and I had already pre-apologized.
Spooky stuff.
eh punk no ack like me bumbai i goin give u small kine cracks li’dat! there’s ONLY one K.M and I AM FABULOUS!!!

wafan, you up yet?
guess not
“Those who follow the āSkins will tell you that Jason Campbell (barring any trades) will likely be the starting quarterback this year and veterans Todd Collins will be the top backup. So the real competition at quarterback will be for which young player can make the roster as the third quarterback.”
“Colt Brennan came out of Hawaii in 2008 as a Heisman finalist and having led the team to an undefeated regular season. He was drafted in the sixth round of the NFL draft and played impressively in the preseason and became something of a fan favorite. He would seem to be the favorite to make the Redskins roster given his experience and stature (heās 6ā3ā).”
“Chase Daniel led Missouri to two straight Big 12 North titles, but regressed a bit as a senior after finishing as a Heisman finalist in 2007 along with Brennan. At just 6ā tall and after throwing 18 interceptions as a senior he went undrafted. He also got into a bit of hot water for a twitter he sent late in the draft. He said he was hearing he might go to the Redskins but might be better off going undrafted. A popular DC area radio personality took him to task for the remarks and Daniel retorted which only drew further attention to the message. While the PR snafu is hardly insurmountable, it hasnāt endeared him to the public.”
“Ganz has been the most under the radar player. Not as nationally known as Daniel, Ganz finished only slightly behind Daniel in pass efficiency and led Nebraska to nine wins and a Gator Bowl victory. Listed at 6ā1ā he might even be taller than Daniel. Daniel seemed to decline over the last four games of the season and threw eight interceptions. Ganz got better throwing just three. If Brennan doesnāt live up to his role as favorite, Ganz could very well beat out Daniel. His experience in a West Coast offense can’t hurt.”
“And the longer term prospects for the Redskins third quarterback arenāt all that bad. Campbell seems likely to depart after the 2009 season and Collins is too old to be anything more than a stopgap starter. If he practices well enough, the third quarterback could very well find himself the starter in 2010. Stranger things have happened.”

The “System QB” Tag Claims Latest Victim in Graham Harrell
“In the NFL, the term āSystem Quarterbackā is a dirty word. Andre Ware, Gino Torretta and more recently Colt Brennan were all fairly labeled as such.
For the most part the term has proved to be just as accurate for scouts as it is a death sentence to the quarterbacks. Signal-callers in college who have a spread out offense and are not asked to read complicated defenses as well as physical differences seem to be the key attributes of these quarterbacks.”
“The latest to be termed this is Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell. The former Red Raider is second all-time in NCAA career passing yards and owns the record for career passing touchdowns.
However, the NFL Draft came and went without Harrell hearing his name called and as of now he has not signed with any teams as a free agent (although he will participate in Browns rookie camp).”
“So, does this mean itās time for Harrell to put his education degree to work? Most likely, but thereās always a little hope. Harrell was extremely productive which canāt be overlooked no matter the system.”
“On the flip side, heās on the short side and has an almost sidearm, shoot-from-the-hip throwing style that most coaches will look to correct.
While the Brownsā run-first, controlled passing game may not seem to fit Harrell. A similar west coast approach may actually work for Harrell.”
“Remember, the system was designed to hide the flaws of undersized and weak-armed quarterbacks. Itās also dependent upon putting the ball into certain spots.
Harrell is by no means starting quarterback material, however certain teams could use him as a backup.”
“The Rams, Chiefs and Texans have offenses that could hide some of Harrellās flaws. Given that they have decent running games to take the load off and receivers that can do most of the work, these teams could be a good fit for Harrell.
There are a couple of wild card teams that could also be a home for Harrell. The Cardinals of course have Kurt Warner and Matt Leinart, but Warner will retire soon and Leinart (the still-presumed heir apparent) will need a back up.”
auryte lizzie….going for it.
am I 500
“One last wild card could be the 49ers. Harrell could be reunited with former teammate Michael Crabtree and would benefit from Frank Gore and Vernon Davis. Plus, San Franās quarterback situation is far from settled.
System quarterbacks are everywhere in college football with more players in systems that spread the field to their advantage. With that said, the NFL may have to adjust its standards for an ideal quarterback.”
ok 500 for real

MadeinHawaii re: #234
athletes dont sign NLI’s this time of year, they sign scholarship agreements. when a student signs an NLI though, they also sign a scholarship agreements. Some call it a Financial aid agreement – depends on the school. It gives the details of what their financial aid will be, has 3 boxes that can be checked: [ ] Fall Semester [ ] Spring Semester [ ] Both. When a student is greyshirting it will be checked spring, for example. at NLI day most of the kids had “both” checked. This is just as binding as an NLI as long as the student is admitted and remains in good academic standing
Hey- wha-happened?
Thanks ST or Techs for giving me #500!
