Sealy to UCLA

Congratulations to our newest Warriors!!

Gotta like the size at wideout. Nice to see Jordan Monico on the list, he’s a solid athlete.

Any relation to former BaseBow Mario Monico?

Welcome to all the new Warriors; good luck to all.

Yup, that’s Mario’s son.

( my – how time flies. )

Are “preferred” walk-ons not required to go to the tryouts?

Man! The walk-ons, in general, are BIG! Awesome!

Tampabay.com has a nice note about Allen Sampson. Nice for UH to get publicity in the Tampa area.

Call Hawaii Five-O. A larceny has been reported at the nearby college football program.

More specifically, they’re lauding Plant High speedster Allen Sampson as a steal for the University of Hawaii, with whom he signed last Wednesday. This from Warriors quarterbacks coach Nick Rolovich (courtesty of the Honolulu Adverstiser):

“Sampson is that quick, make-a-guy-miss-type slot we’ve had success with in the past. I know his size is not the biggest, but he’s built really well. He’ll make some plays for us in the future. …

“People will first notice (Sampson) has world-class speed. But his personality and the person he is will make him a great teammate. He’s going to make an immediate impact on our kick return. We have to try to get the ball in his hands to make something happen.”

As a Plant senior, Sampson averaged 37.4 yards per kick return and 11.3 yards per punt return. He also had 39 catches for 671 yards and eight TDs.

Tahi Lim is of the “Lim Family” as in Pua Olena. Have them attend the next KK along with Nalani and you will have to charge admission.

Mueller is the HS teammate of Jack Sula.

ST reported on Nicola last summer.

Hmmmm.. No Quentin Beaver

That’s $400+ for just one kid! And that assumes all meals are eaten at home.

Charlie Wilson died today.

Good morning everyone!

Congrats and good luck to the walk-ons!
Thanks for the list, ST.

Good morning!

ST ~ Thanks for the list of walk-ons & the ever entertaining pics of the Super Games.

Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Good luck to all of the walk ons!

ST-
Do any of them looks particularly promising? (Besides Da Beast)

Braddah Joe- Yup, nice size, yah?

jm2375:

Looks like a “Snow Week” is in store. All signs point to OPM shutting down the government again tomorrow, even though we won’t officially find out until after 7pm Eastern (2pm Hawai’i).

Tsai…..for real kine, don’t they get mad when they ask you not to take their picture and you still do ……and post it for the world to see? I guess it’s all fair in love, war, and warrior coverage. lol.

BIK

Jack Sula supposed to be at UH for the 2009 season. So far MIA. Googled him and there are a lot of dated info. on him. One site talks about his dad. Seems the guy is bad news. Part of a “gang” Piru. Article describes him as “badass”. I hope Jack will take advantage of this opportunity to get out and better his position…if he still has an offer from UH.

LIke others, I must add that the height of the WRs are impressive; now, speed and hands?

With the current players and new recruits, wonder how many will make the final “fall roster”?

At least Coach Mack will not have to be concerned with additional scholarships unless one or more really turn on the “heat” to challenge the starters. Now, that would be joyous news heard “round the State”!!!

Football, not fotball. Too much beer early in the morning.

ST…..taxation on refunds is supposedly cause its deemed as an income source.

I wanna know whats up with holding my refund until after JULY?

Congrats to Mike Sealy.

So, what is Shoji going to do now? Sealy was touted as being his replacement.

Congrats to Mike Sealy, Bruins got a good one 🙂

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!}??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SEALY TO UCLA!!!

Ok it shouldn’t be that shocking, but what is in store for Na Wahine? How will our blocking do? What’s the status of our recruiting for 2011?

Make no mistake about it, Sealy made a difference.

Congrats to him, but now we keep an eye out for ourselves.

ohh, so all this time you were talking about the ’93 Rainbows….

Slugger, Slugger, you gave me great hope of watching yesterday’s live chat so I hurried over and WHAM, slam, glitches, black screens with no continuiry between the freeze frames and black screens.

yep, so sad, no get mad; yea, tell that to someone else!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kazz:

someone told me that at UCLA and other BCS schools, the only programs that count are football and basketball – everything else is, “who da hell cares”.

my first hand experience is when we went to UCLA for the MVB national championship game where there were more Hawaii fans that Bruins – some students told us that it would not look good on national tv if there were a few UCLA fans so the school asked student to attend.

congrats to sealy!

casey purdy could he be the first word of life academy grad to play for the home team? 06 grad went to western montana didn’t play his first year due to injury and then don’t know where he went.

Al,

Aren’t Liko and Brashton from Word of Life Academy?

Charlie Wade can pull a Wilton coaching stint, Na Wahine in the Fall, men in the Winter. Wilton is at NAU mvb, will return to BYU for their Wahine season.

I know Brashton is

bstunna….true dat. sorry. in my mind the satele’s are from mililani so i think of them as such.

Good afternoon!

The walk-on list looks like size was seriously considered.

ST,

Don’t feel too left out. I was probably the last to find out our state tax returns are delayed until July 1st… Well, at the “earliest”!!! 👿

The Pac-10 isn’t really going to consider any sport other than football and men’s basketball when they look at expansion candidates because those two sports bring in all the money…especially from TV. More importantly, they will look at TV market size when considering candidates, and unfortunately Hawaii has a relatively small TV market.

There are a few things to keep in mind when thinking about expansion. This isn’t being considered just for a championship game. History has shown that championship games aren’t the giant revenue producers they were once thought to be. No, this is about adding markets–lucrative markets–and getting extra revenue from the TV and media deals, as well as possibly getting coverage of a new “Pac-10 Network.” So, for example, you wouldn’t see the conference expand with both Utah AND BYU, because its the same market, so you drastically limit your revenue possibilities.

So, seeing as its all about TV markets, and using that to leverage everything we can from a new media deal, lets take a look at the markets that the Pac-10 already delivers (US market rank in parenthesis):

Los Angeles (2), San Francisco Bay Area (6), Phoenix (12), Seattle (14), Sacramento (20), Portland (22), San Diego (28). We also have Tucson in there at number 68.

This makes seven top 30 markets located within the Pac-10 footprint, a very impressive number. Obviously, adding two large markets to the footprint would have the potential to be a big money maker, as adding that many eyeballs to a TV deal/potential Pac-10 network makes nine large markets for advertisers.

Of the four top-50 markets that would be available to expand into, one thing stands out: Denver is the gold mine. The addition of Denver would give the conference eight top-30 markets. Denver itself adds almost three million viewers, the state of Colorado as a whole almost five million. Salt Lake City then becomes the next most attractive market at number 33. This is why you hear about Colorado and Utah as the schools that the Pac-10 is targeting. This would give the Pac-10 ten of the top 33 TV markets, and all schools except Stanford would be large, academically sound state schools with large enrollments and huge alumni numbers.

Remember, the key to expansion is that it has to increase per school revenue. Without Colorado, where does the Pac-10 turn for a 12th team (this still assumes that Utah is a slam dunk)?

glad to see lots of height at WR. i hope they also have speed and hands.

If UH wants to even be remotely (as Garret lays it out) want to considered a candidate for the Pac 10, it would have to be a complete State effort to place the best effort on the table. From Governor, HTA to coaches of all UH sports, it would have to be a “kumbaya moment” where its a resounding yes we want this bad. That would mean the State would have to get its departments talking to the asian counter parts to get them interested in UH as the bridge to big time UScollege sports, looking for dollars to subsidize travel for at least one possible three sport teams to travel to Hawaii to compete (let’s face it, the “pond” whether real or not is the barrier), put more dollars now into the athletic pot with some economic and financial analysis that could show that the investment may realistically yield dividends or go bust (going bust would mean we would not take the opportunity to be creative around joining this conference and just be happy to be involved).

Without this in a BIG way, all we’re doing is dreaming.

Oh, BTW, a long time ago, a former now deceased Governor had such a dream that some scoffed at. We did build a stadium and did join the WAC. That was then and people at that time were a bit more serious. With only talk show hosts talking about it, I’d say, we’d better just be happy with dreaming.

The only Wilton in the NAU directory is a Garrett Morgan Wilton, who is a student. I think Coach Wilton is volunteering his time there, so he’s not officially in the directory. NAU only has women’s volleyball.

No problem Al

I was referring to the time spent, can be done. Wilton is volunteering his time with the program, time spent. Reverse my statement, if NAU has women only, then he must be helping the BYU men.

new Na Wahine assistant- how about Presho out of Irvine’s mvb.

i think i know what the problem is with the streaming. last nite after repeated attempts and got jerking and stopping, finally saw the ending of the show with credits and waited for the next repeat and it ran all the way without stopping. this afternoon, after everyone was still having problems, i tried the warrior beat show again and it came out stopping and blackouts. so i waited to the end of the show and when the new repeat came on at 3:53 pm it ran for ten minutes continuously and i believe it would have gone all the way. maybe to see the show without the stops, one must see the show from the start. i’m not savvy on this computer stuff, but is this the solution.

seriously…who would be the starting 5 for MBB?

Then again at this point I wouldnt mind seeing the local boys getting some real action.

Maybe they (MBB) need to make that call for our boy Miah!

ST, #95 (like that # for some reason, haha)

I heard you on the show, but everyone else just let it go by…..although Coach did say he’d rather spend the $30k on recruiting or cheerleaders, or maybe he meant recruiting cheerleaders….either way, it all ends up in the same sentence or pot…..but I HEARD YOU Mr. Tsai……. 🙂

Garret always has a reality check for us, but I think it’s okay do dream about the Pac-12 even if the chances are slim.

If you talk markets, one market where Hawaii may have an advantage is in the TV market. We would add 2/3 time zones to that market. We would give the Pac-12 additional air time with live events in the late evening hours. Plus it’s no doubt that Hawaii has appeal across the nation. If the Pac-12 is looking to enhance it’s tv appeal, I think Hawaii definitely brings something to the table.

oldie,

Actually, advertising rates are MUCH higher during prime time since that is when the audience is available. For example, when USC plays at Aloha Stadium the Pac-10 network would lose a lot of money if the game was at a late-night time slot.

Garret,

You’re right that travel is a big problem. UH would have work deals with the Travel Industry. Hawaiian Air and Outrigger Hotels come to mind.

Scheduling would have to be worked out. Instead of home and home, playing a double header would mitigate travel costs. It seems to work fine with Mountain-Pacific Volleyball.

One thing that would be in UH’s favor would be if we could expand into the Japaneses market, Garret do you think that could help us to get the invite?

Sam P, are you also related to Fatu Siave Papali’i?

Okay, now that I’ve been trying to play devil’s advocate on the issue, let me talk about the advantages UH has with trying for the Pac-10.

1. Colorado might decide to stay in the Big 12. This is a VERY, VERY important factor. Colorado brings a TV market that is very attractive to the Pac-10. Colorado might get 2x to 3x the TV money by moving to the Pac-10, but they have been with many of the teams in their conference since the Big 8 days. Plus, the Big 12 TV contract is about to be up also and they might form their own TV network.

2. Assuming either Utah (unlikely) or Colorado (possible) turn down the Pac-10, then the next biggest TV market schools would be UNLV and New Mexico. However, UH has a much better draw than New Mexico and UNLV might be too associated with gambling. It could come down to UH vs. UNLV if Utah or Colorado say no.

3. UH has the prestige of going to a BCS bowl recently, which is something that could give it an edge over UNLV. UH has a chance to impress the public next season, starting from the home opener. There is still a chance that both football and men’s basketball could have good seasons next year…that could actually be essential for any shot.

4. UH has a much bigger TV market than BSU and the state of Utah isn’t a big enough TV market to make the Pac-10 want both BYU and Utah. Initially I had thought that BYU/Utah made the perfect match with the way Pac-10 has travel partners, but their need for TV markets gives UH a chance.

5. UH has a bigger stadium and competitive facilities for basketball and other sports such as baseball and volleyball. Trouble is, UH keeps that money so that isn’t a big sell to the Pac-10…unless UH agrees to share a portion of the revenue with the conference.

Bottom line is that UH needs Colorado to turn down the Pac-10 and then it has a shot. And it is possible that will happen. Then, UH needs the Pac-10 to decide that it doesn’t want 2 schools in Utah. And it is likely that will happen. Then, UH has to beat out UNLV (gambling worry, struggling football team), BSU (small TV market, academic issues), New Mexico (struggling football team, academic issues), and Colorado State (they could give an entry to the Colorado TV market, but have several negatives also).

So, it is not hopeless if Colorado wants to stay in the Big 12.

Not only Japan but the Asian Market including China the world’s largest consumer market. Hawaii is the gateway to the Pacific Rim and Asian market. Basketball is pretty big in China, with the right marketing Football could also one day be big.

The other big factor that the Pac-12 would be concerned about is Academics. The presidents of the schools would want a school that brings added prestige. With highly rated schools such as Stanford, USC, UCLA, Cal-Berkeley, the conference would not want a school the is not academically sound.

UH has a lot of unique programs that add to its appeal. Astronomy, Ocean Sciences, International Studies with focus on Asia. It could also have a great Alternative Energy program since every kind of energy is available in the Islands. Exchange programs with others in the conference would enhance UH’s appeal.

The State administration has to make sure they fund UH adequately even in these tough economic times.

Welcome to blog, Sam Papali’i!

Also don’t forget about the Aussie’s

Someone mentioned this morning that teams that play in Hawaii get a 13th game. Some of that appeal is diminished because schedules are very tight, more so if you add a conference championship. Hawaii has to petition the NCAA to allow a game a week before the rest of the schools start.

re # 122.

hoo hoo –

can’t wait to see JJ/SMU play Mac Brown/Tex.

Remember? – Mack pulled out of a game vs. JJ at Aloha Stadium;

there was no penalty on that contract for chickening out, like

McChicken State & john (Loser)smith.
.

wasn’t it June Jones vision to expand into the Asian and Pacific markets, fan base and recruiting. Last year coach Mac and JD ventured to Japan, hopefully they made progress to open up the Japanese and Chinese market.

I may late to the party on this, but I just saw it on the UH Rainbowtique website. I saw the Under Armour put out a shirt with the “new” UA logo on it. About time.

off topic. re kalaepohaku.

would Stutz I. be offered ?

I remember a poster or two, saying that Stutz I. could have had the job,

but he was expecting to be hired by UH, which never happened.

therefore, he was “screwed” by UH out of both jobs.

I wish that poster(s) would post again on this topic.

Can’t believe they sent Colt’s parking tickets to a collection agency.. probably should have auctioned out each one a year ago! And you wonder why most athletes don’t donate a lot to their alumni, eh?

re: UNLV vs UH going to the Pac-10(12?) – not to mention that UNLV’s stadium is smaller, and don’t they have bench seats? Apparently Utah’s stadium is also smaller.

JMxxxx yes, JD could extend Nash’s contract one more year, stating that due to injuries the record shouldn’t count against the coach, and he is a nice guy.

re # 136

Thanks.

I wonder, if offered now, if Stutz.1 would ask to be released from his contract, and come home to his alma mater.

just thinking out loud.

come on Na Wahine, getting closer, very close, got to close.

lucky Jacob, gets to come home to recruit. Lots of Hawaii kids at Pacific U.

The 50,000 seat size of Aloha Stadium won’t be a big draw to the Pac-10 either. Why would it matter to the conference if UH has a bigger stadium than Utah when the home teams keep the money from ticket sales and the conference gets nothing of it? A conference gets the same amount of money whether or not the stadium seats 20,000 or 50,000.

11-year-old girl gave birth to a healthy baby boy in the Northeastern part of the US.

Study found that watching too much TV shortens your life, with people who watched 4 or more hours of TV per day being 80% more likely to die from heart disease and 46% more likely to die from any cause. Each additional hour spent watching TV increased the risk of dying from heart disease by 18% and the overall risk of death by 11%.

Free play links pau.

Ralph diid Coach Dana mean Ayabe will get a schollie next season?

I hope the PAC-10 sees the Hawaii demographics beyond the islands. But also sees the Hawaii transplants mushrooming up and down the west coast, Arizona and across the United States.

I hope the PAC-10 sees how Hawaii has roots with the Polynesian community and how that market can be tapped also.

I hope the PAC-10 sees the UH team, players, coaches and it’s fan base as having a “us against them kind of mentality” that would certainly create a fervor in the league. And stir things up with heated rivalries.

I hope the PAC-10 sees that Hawaii has name recognition with the 3 million visitors(?) that it attracts annually that might add to the viewership. Or even to the apparel sales.

It would be nice if the PAC-10 sees Hawaii as unique. And sees that of all the schools being considered Hawaii does have potentially better selling points.

Hi, Mrs. LTUHF!

Sports night tonight…went to the UH WBB game for a while…sat with the Tsaikos…then got to talk to my cousin…Walked over to Maryknoll to watch HPU play Domincan University…I was there to watch Coach Sellito yell (:-))…like old times…Barry M. was there filming for OC16…C.J. Jackson was great…HPU won…too bad the Wahine couldn’t keep the scoring up at the end of the game.

Good night all!

so, with Lay out, they’re gonna have to rely on Jr more? yikes!

Garret:

The State of Hawai`i through the Department of Accounting and General Services which administers Aloha Stadium is the principal recipient of UH home football ticket sales. There are some team expenses covered by ticket sales, but in exchange for free rent, UH gives up most of the revenue. They get zippo from parking and concession stand sales except for Rainbowtique.

Saw a bunch of Tsai-kos across the court at the Wahine basketball game earlier this evening. We don’t sit on that side because the flapping signs on the tables on our side of the court are too distracting. Every 30 to 60 seconds they turn over to another advertiser. The opposite side signs below where we sit stay still throughout the game or match.

We have another pair of tickets available because we have tickets for both basketball games on February 20. Mei Ling took our February 19 volleyball tickets because we’ll be attending the opening game of the 2009 Rainbow baseball season. Hopefully, we can sneak in for the last set if it goes a full five.

The next night is another basketball two-fer. The Wahine are playing LaTech at 5 pm and the Decimateds are playing Cal Poly in a bracketbuster at 8 pm. If you’d like a pair of tickets, please send me an e-mail – swood at hoku dot com and include your real name and a daytime or cell telephone number.

Hope to see some familiar faces at the opening softball games(s) tomorrow.

For those of you who are looking for changes in any of UH’s coaching staff members, have you communicated your concerns, issues, and suggestions to Jim Donovan? He listens and he frequently makes changes if you provide him with realistic options, alternatives, suggestions, and solutions. If you do decide to do this, be sure to use your real name and provide basic contact information.

good to read about sooo many WRs making conditioning workouts. get targets for the qbs to be practicing, plus wear out da tire treads on da JUGS. like see samoa guyz making da one hand grabs wit da full on stretch in da videos. 😀

Good morning! Another same old, same old day here in the Northwe(s)t.

Impressed with the list of walk-ons.

ST,

How much does Scott Collins weigh? He’s listed at 6’5″ (no weight).

And there’s a guy named Chico Ramirez listed at 5-10, 180…is he a RB, slot or DB? Thanks.

Hey! Thanks for the Blog post! I’m finding it very interesting. I’m going to bookmark this blog and return. can you tell me where i can find more information on this? Keep up the great work, have a great day!
