Morning all!

Happy berfday, Pauoa Boy!!! We’ll see you soon!

so last week, two girls joined us for their first game/tailgate ever. yup, they got hooked on the tsaiko warrior experience, if anybody not going to the game tomw let me know.

got tickets?

letsgo….i think they were spelled out for some who would have been banging their heads all day trying to figure out who JQ is. i can think of a few but won’t publicly embarass them here.

mih….try another nickname. every time i hear “juice” i think of that former usc running back who used to run through the airports. i don’t his mama wants him to be named after that guy.

al,

‘JUICE’ is the nickname on his website.. http://www.athletesquest.com/josh/

slugger….haha.

now, everytime i see a running back breakaway down the sidelines i’ll be wondering if the defender is zeroing in on the guy or just estimating.

anyway, if the defensive back keeps missing the tackle he could get a job as an insurance claims adjuster or the local body and fender shop.

Hey recruits, why not place in paradise. We love our football. Go Warriors.

pal….haha.
if there is one thing that most fans enjoy besides how we won the game. i think recruiting news brings out the excitement for the majority of the fans.

i think i can say that i am not alone on this.

at least you know i am who i am.

I think our secondary will be more solid next season since RS Freshmen CB’s Ornellas and Walker have seen lots of playing time this season. Would have liked to have seen Steven Christian play this season.

Too bad we lose Tonga and Wadsworth to missions. Hopefully Mana Silva and Spencer Smith keep improving.

Perhaps one of the most interesting recruits we have/had is Ray Hisatake. Considering he never played football till JC… never played offense till he got to UH.. AND with this being his first year starting … it’s a wonder we don’t hear his name more often (.i.e… missed blocks, off-sides, personals …etc.)

Too bad he doesn’t have another year.

Good Job RAY!

al,

You know me…. I AM creepy. But I was born this way, I dunno what everyone else’s excuse is, though. 😉

wait….st.
at least i have my own hair.

it is about time that we went to the north shore. that surfer boy from the mainland is the real deal. he could be our starting kicker right now.

plus he is tough. he’s made some tackles on kickoffs. he’s also a dual threat kicker, if you will. his punting is decent and with work…..?

Good morningTsaiko’s,

one more day to go UH bb tonight and Warrior football tomorrow what a great weekend! I wonder if Blaze can qualify for a medical redshirt it seems like he took the Nate Ilaoa route to get on the field maybe he’ll have on season left any word Stephen?

……and with work ….. we could screw him all up by telling him to aim for the 2 yard line out of bounds. lol

speaking bout recruit’s/wr’s…etc., how’s about, (Shaydon Kehano), from Castle High???, an all around athlete to boot.

lava… i thought that beaver was last scene on the darkside with eddie haskell?

Speaking of recruiting…

surprising news from the HHSAA.

Hi, it’s jojo again. I missed coconut trees and dim sum? Shucks!!!

Is it usually the case that the student-athlete (or his family) would initiate the process for an appeal for a sixth year of eligibility?

LizK,

How come you ss stuttering? 😆

d1- must be the Chinese herbssss…

Happy birthday Pauoa Boy!!!

al:

we got 1 extra ticket as EthelM is in Japan. will bring to tailgate!!

Happy Birthday Pauoa Boy!

Happy Birthday Pauoa Boy. Hope you will returning soon to take in one or more of the remaining games.

Happy B-day PB

Thank you for your service!

just sitting on the sidelines wondering, what will the warriors do, win the game or try to impress a recruit???

al:

I like recruiting also; i get excited; just because; put me down as another follower!!

and, i resemble the “initials” feeble minded fan who quickly forgets who is being recruited by UH, their name/no less their initials, but I really support the Warriors!!! had to say that cause you were pointing your finger at me – har, har, de har matey!!!!

any kind of recruiting news for Hawaii gets me excited as each year the recruits seem to be better student athletes and we get to cheer them in whatever sport they choose.

i agree that the kicker/punter at Kahuku seems to be a good find – kind of a good feel story of a young man from Florida who searched the web and discovered that Kahuku needed a kicker/punter – his Dad came over with him while Mom runs the family business in —————, ah shucks, i porgot name of city. hey, maybe they live near Florida Ted?

speaking of punters – if Dunnachie feels out of place punting with his complete uniform, I would make him practice with his total uniform every day to become accustomed to the “feel” as the WAC/NCAA will not allow him to play without a helmet – wonder how much the “uni” affects his effectiveness as he never wore US football gear until now!!!

Carried over from the last blog:

Word on the political street is that Keith Amemiya is going to be the head guy in Mufi’s campaign for Governor with the expectation of getting a major position in the new Hannemann Administration come December, 2010 – assuming that Mufi wins both the Primary over Abercrombie and the General over Aiona.

************

The next three+ weeks are filled with UH sports – men’s and women’s basketball, men’s volleyball against Stanford, Wahine softball this afternoon, football, and the WAC women’s volleyball tournament in Las Vegas following their wins tomorrow and Monday against Idao & Utah State. And don’t forget the football banquet on Sunday, December 6.

BTW – Are there any plans to watch the final WAC tournament match at a local food & beverage establishment?

whitey:

enjoy your trip, but no forget to come back!!

da wahines goin try to keep yoo dere!!

Col, no worry, fishing in alaska is more important.

wassup doc, for personal reason wouldn’t vote for either of them. would prefer someone else like c say.

Col, now i can see it, run with your undies, when you see the enemy, moon them, they fall on the ground laughing so damn hard, then you capture them. i’ll bet s tzsu neva have that in his war strategy book.

Capitol -ist/WassupDoc: pls. check your email.

Hauoli Lahanau, Pauoa Boy and safe home soon!!

Shoots! Can’t go to the football banquet on the 6th due to auntie’s birthday party.

K, outta here…Esme (Where are you, girl?) and out….

wassup doc, yes, will truly miss k amemiya, a true gentleman. he has done so much for the kids and i think he will still be active in that regards, but he now will take care of his family and probably have more great times with them. Thank you Mr Amemiya!!!!

Happy Birthday Pauoa Boy, a safe journey for you and your men in the mtns of Afghanistan

What UH needs is a couple of big defensive lineman. Kids around 6’4″ or taller and about 280 lbs. for the tackles and about 6’4″, 250 for the ends. We have to get back to the old days when Bob Wagner and Doug Kay were the defensive coordinators and how the UH’s defense was a force to be reckoned with. I would love to have UH get back to those rock em sock em days when defense stirred the fire for the fans to get so excited. We also need guys like Semeri Ulufale to fuel the special teams. I also missed the days when UH blocked punts and an occasional muddle huddle, the reverse, double reverse, flea flicker, a half back pass, etc. Now, we don’t see any of that. Can you imagine the possibilities if we had a really outstanding defense. With the kind of offense that we have to have the potential to score a lot of points, a great defense to complement that would spell dominate. Surely, we would be in the top 25 if not the top 15. Even the 2007 unbeaten 12-0 team did not have a dominating defense, but they rose to the occasion when they needed to. You need a really good defense to win on the road and win championships. Wish list: Jamora changes his mind from BYU and signs w/ Hawaii. Also, the Kahuku kicker, Mercado, likes it here and I hope he sticks around to play for Hawaii too. Fehoko and Akuna signs w/ Hawaii and Quezada signs w/ Hawaii too. That’s what I want for Xmas.

Brashton- hope to see you ON THE FIELD NEXT YEAR!!!

Woo Hoo!

The recent 300+ yard romp should help with Joshua Quezada

reference kicking in uniform

azngamer808 learned to kick on the baseball field at Aiea High School
kicking over the backstop to encourage his place kicks would have high elevation and not get blocked
however
once he put on the helmet for the first time,
he was so off balance that he took a flop on the okole

reference kicking in uniform 2

#2 son was the only player I ever saw who would kick-off wearing knee braces. Usually would kick for touchbacks.
He even did placekicks in JV that way.
Coaches couldn’t figure out how he did it, just stopped asking…

lil

if got football tix i know some who would want them.

Howzit Everybody,

Al agree with your #95,

Charley Tua’au will definitely be one the impact player on the defesive side of the ball in this recruiting class. The boy has a motor and plays with a nasty streak. Have watched alot of his games this year and I have to say that even though he does not have the star backing, he is the real deal. He will make a very good D-1 DT and might even get a shot at the next level if he can live up to his potential.

The boy is a beast.

WOW, got an email from classmate to look at an article by Wes Nakama. I’ll be danged if his family is not from McGerrow Camp in Puunene. I not sure who his dad is, but I know George “Whitey” Nakama. I used to hunt with kapay nakamura. What a small world. For those who like history, look at Wes’s article “Baban” in the Advertiser.

al: think i still got em… our familys seats but dad(lk),mom,bro is out of town this weekend. he’s gonna get back to me later on if anything.
email me and i’ll keep in touch. I’ll have at most 3 tickets.

i love the HA blog with Wes Nakama. i tell Wes that I truly enjoyed his article and it brings back many memories and what does the blog say, my post is under moderation. i’ll try to remember that if i try to say anything good about ST next time. hahahahaaaaa

tomorrow’s game. what to look for on offense (1) salas receiving over 100 yds (2) rb green 100 yds rushing (3) no sacks by nmsu d and (4) 1 int by warriors. what to look for on defense (1) 4 qb sacks (2) total rush by nmsu less than 100 yds (3) 2 int and (4) 1 td or safety.

Ray Guy camp helped azngamer808 become automatic from 40 yards
Peter Kim (Yummy’s, Lahaina Chicken, Liliha Bakery) helped getting more distance
note from Ray Guy Camp…they had no idea why Justin Ayat went to camp($500 plus airfare, hotel, car rental)…he didn’t want to listen to anything being taught

same for coaches who go to clinics to learn, but don’t because their egos are bigger than life!!!!

great game on espn2 but a controversial td call went to cinn after officials on the field ruled a fumble on the WV 1. replay officials reversed the fumble and gave the bearcats a td.. it was a terrible call by replay officials. cinn is in the hunt for the national title game, juice? espn pundits think so.
game istied at 14-14 at the half.

dpk, sorry about missing you on the blog. anyway, hope you and your family are enjoying a great friday and the weekend will be one of great joy.

Whitey…

I say.. Pilares gets more balls his way tomorrow.

From SH forum’s Palolo cruza

“Rod Gilmore Just picked (with ‘H’ logo) Greg Salas as his college fantasy player of the week. .”

T-GATERS,

BG and I got confirmation for a special visit at tomorrow’s tgate. 😉

Re: Wahine volleyball WAC Banners.

Stay tuned.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUOA BOY! HOPE ALL IS WELL!

I don’t know if UH should accept Hasiak as a transfer if he leaves UCLA. You gotta think twice if he has a bad attitude getting in fights with his teammates in practice or scrimmages. Our program doesn’t need something like that. Down the road if we accept him you have to wonder if he’s going to get things like personal fouls and things like that. The coaches had better do a good job of making sure the kid is right for our program. It conjures the past problems w/ Keenan Jones, Terry Whitaker, and a talented wide receiver (who escapes his name right now) who was ejected from the game on the first play of the game against USC and was never heard from him after that and left the team.

off to the airport….some maui guy who’s initials are duffer is about to land in the big city.

Derek,

I agree. And that’s what makes recruiting such a tricky business. The coaching staff needs to dig through everything … figure out if a kid will blend in nicely with the existing staff, players and program before offering a scholie. They also need to balance their projected needs with the number of available schollies and athletes interested. It can’t be easy on a limited budget under a equally limiting time constraint. Especially when you have to do it all from here in the middle of the Pacific.

Meanwhile, we fans might complain and wonder why so and so wasn’t offered a scholie long after the coaches have done their homework and moved on.

Kazz:

VIP visiting, but what time he/she goin be dere?

response to #125…..derek, the wide receiver was attrice brooks…

I just watched Quezada’s highlights and all I can say is wow….This kid is really good great balance,good speed and he’s a very tough runner if we can land him I expect us to have a more balanced attack for the years to come,if you haven’t seen his highlights here’s the link http://www.athletesquest.com/josh/

even match tonight, UH finished 13-17 and S. Utah 11-20. Coach Nash with a 40% winning percentage and Reid at 36%

2010 Wahine Softball defeats Alumnae

HONOLULU—The University of Hawai`i softball team came back to defeat their Alumnae, 3-2 tonight in their annual Alumnae Game at the Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium. Kanani Pu‘u-Warren hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth inning to lift the ‘Bows over their predecessors. Relief pitcher, Melissa Gonzalez, earned the win for the ‘Bows, throwing the final two innings.

The game was scoreless through the first three innings, but it was the Alumnae who posted a pair of runs to take an early, 2-0 lead in the top of the fourth. Tyleen Tausaga drew a bases loaded walk with two outs to force Kate Robinson home for the Alumnae’s first run. Kristi Yoshizawa followed with an opposite-field, RBI single to left to drive in Tanisha Milca.

Kate Robinson threw a complete game for the Alumnae, taking a shut-out through the first four and two-thirds innings, before giving up a two-out, RBI single to Traci Yoshikawa, who hit a looping single into shallow left that allowed Kelly Majam to score from second base. Majam had reached earlier on a double to the right-centerfield gap. After five complete innings the score was 2-1 in favor of the Alumnae.

Senior Kanani Pu`u-Warren’s two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth lifted the ‘Bows over their Alumnae, 3-2.In the bottom of the sixth, Amanda Tauali‘i started things off with a one-out walk. Pu`u-Warren then launched an opposite-field home run that sailed over the right-centerfield fence to overtake the lead, 3-2.

For UH, Stephanie Ricketts threw the first five innings, giving up two unearned runs on five hits with three walks and three strike outs. After starting the game at third base, Gonzalez later re-entered the game to earn the win, holding a powerful Alumnae squad at bay. She walked two but fanned four in two-plus innings of work.

The Alumnae’s Robinson threw the complete game, giving up three runs on six hits with six strike outs.

Both Majam and Pu`u-Warren led the ‘Bows with two hits a piece. Majam went 2-for-2 with a run scored, a walk and a double, while Pu`u-Warren was 2-for-3 at the plate with the homer.

The Rainbow Wahine concluded their Fall schedule with the Alumnae Game. The ‘Bows return to the diamond on Feb. 11-13, 2010 for the Oceanic Time Warner Cable Paradise Classic. This year’s tournament features McNeese State, Texas A&M Corpus Christi and Stanford.

Free play link time. Please ignore my next 5 posts if you do not want to read the off-topic stuff.

Data for NASA’s LCROSS mission shows that water was uncovered when the rocket hit into the moon.

Research is looking into the coastal pollution in Hawaii, trying to prevent the coral reefs from being eliminated due to pollution. The Stanford professor leading this effort is from Hawaii.

This article shows the HUGE incentive that the US military has to go green. The US currently uses 22 gallons of fuel per day for each soldier in Afghanistan, and each gallon costs between $300 and $400! Driving the fuel to the isolated bases in Afghanistan makes US troops vulnerable to deadly IED attacks.

Pomai,

yo sailor blue

thank you for the offer. however, we were able to get tickets for those youngsters.

mahalo and i will see you at the tailgate anyway.

Happy Birthday to a dedicated Marine.

Pauoa Boy ~ Our prayers to you on your Birthday. Godspeed my friend, and may you return safely to your wife and family.

Garret.

Just how pure does oxygen have to be for the hydrogen cell to be an effective power alternative?

Who is the VIP? We’re picking up Liz at the airport around 2:45 – assuming she leaves on time – so we won’t arrive at Cabana B until close to 3 pm. Are you talking about Jim Donovan? Don Weir?

We also need to be thinking about helping with the gifts for the 2009 Wahine volleyball team. The 2008 team didn’t get theirs until last weekend.

Congrats to Chawan – he “caught” a freebie tee-shirt at tonight’s men’s basketball game.

Although I recognized two of the four players sitting on the bench in street clothes – Kurtz and Amis – does anyone here know the names of the other two? One was wearing a black or very dark green long-sleeved shirt and the other a white hoody.

Unless the bachi police are out in full force, the 2009-2010 men’s baseball team is definitely not going to be a cellar dweller. Our two new guards must have been cheetahs in a previous life – they were everywhere!! However, Balocka still needs to work on his free throws.

After a commanding lead at the half, it was very discomfitting to watch the first 8+ minutes of the second half. UH scored 3 points plus produced mucho turnovers; however, after Southern Utah went ahead briefly, the thundering herd came back to life and made it clear who was the boss.

Hopefully the rain will stop soon. Will be dropping off a table, some chairs, and an extra tent if needed plus recycling stuff as early as possible and then it’s back to work until 2 pm or so.

W-Doc,

VIP = DW ~ Don’t dally at the airport.

Coach Nash said he’d have some outside shooters. Yup, Williams and Lay.

Mosquitos! arrrgh!

GOOD MORNING TSAI-KOS!!!!

Hey Slugger, my initials aren’t DW…… 🙂

Great Morning All!

IT’S SATURDAY!!!

bstunna2002,

Thanks for the video on Joshua Q.

Pretty good freeze last night down to around 28.

Bravo to the ‘Bows and their wins yesterday. Time to collect another a bit later today.

808ike . . .

The days of getting to the 60’s are long gone and will not return until sometime next March. Still, I would rather have the cold than the heat. Always can put on clothing. There is only so much that can be removed before someone starts to laugh. HA!

808ike . . .

Sure looks like it! Nearly time for breakfast, too. Are you in Wahiawa?

Wafan,

Address is Honolulu. I’m up preparing food for the T-gate. Have a break
right now before back into the kitchen.

21 more post to 200.

Wafan,

Told you it is cold. Everyone still under their blanket.

#183

BHF2 of 22 post in a row is still intact. Need to take a short hiatus.

Esme and Midori 7 out.

Mmmmm, baked bacon! Grease comes out and the flavor remains. Yum!

Pauoa Boy –

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! …and many, many more. Looking forward to seeing you on your next home leave. Continue to take care…be safe.

Duffer –

You’ve got mail.

Mrs. A-House ~ Thanks for your note, did you get my email?

OK, schmall kine appearance at work all pau nau.

wafan,

Keep that freezing stuff up in your neck o’ the woods please. We coming back up next week, wanna travel light so hoping to leave all the heavy weather stuff at home.

Speaking of the weather…
hope those ugly rain clouds in the South turn away soon.

Good Morning Tsaikos!

d1 and wafan- Lilu’s house got snow yesterday!
Bundle up and wear your snow tires!

wafan / LizK,

Ugh! 🙁

Not good news for the driver….

Thanks for the fashion visual Liz. I can picture D-1 wearing a snow tire snuggly fitted around his waist! Bwahahaha!

Hopefully, the folks in Oregon are not as foolish in their 4-wheel-drive SUV’s and trucks as those in Washington. This morning a lot of of spinouts and overturned SUV’s and trucks on the roads.

OK…. before we get into football Saturday…..
