Loved seeing you many times at Kauai Resort in the 70’s. Always a class act!
Timoteo did reaffirm.
I’m still not sure about the actual number of initials.
This is interesting that Rolo is bridging the old to integrate with the new. Smart move.

Ain’t no passing craze
Can the Pride Rock phase be used without it being a trademark violation ?
does UH get a cut? I love the shirts, but the Athletic Department is hurting for $$$ and its outside companies putting this stuff out and raking in the money.

Good news about Timoteo.

It is a cool shirt, I really like it. : )

Guud Morning Tsaikos…bootiful day.
Great to hear the boyz reaffirming their commitment to the Warrior program!
#12…If one of those companies didn’t already file for a TM. Used to get plenty hulihuli chicken sales around the state. Then some company went and claimed the name so now it’s….bbq chicken…unless you buy the chickens from the company then you use hulihuli.
IMUA WARRIORS!
UH marketing want to make money come up with the idea. How about selling Rolo candy shaped hats for a Rolo Out Night. Lol just kidding

Jeezy33 says Bradlee Anae is the best defensive player in the State. Who’s to dispute him? I don’t think he’s committed yet although he is linked to BYU. BYU doesn’t have a Head Coach yet. Sarkisian is available. I hope Rolo offered Anae a scholarship too. He has a big upside. Reminds me of Hauoli Jamora.
Mahalo for the memories, Jimmy Borges.
A long, long time ago, I did a list on UH basketball. One item was on the length of Jimmy Borges’ renditions of the national anthem. He took it with good humor, even “dedicating” the song before a UH game. For our fantasy baseball draft a long time ago, the guy who portrayed the Gecko mascot invited Jimmy to sing the national anthem. He even provided a cassette copy. Jimmy is a jazz legend in a town with a rich vocalist history. He’s in a difficult medical situation is. But, as always, he handles it with style.
32. It’s definitely disputable. I haven’t watched every team on the island play. But I’ve watched 3 Kahuku games and he’s dominated all of them with his 6-4 frame to fill out. I haven’t seen Leilehua play so Muti could be better. I think Kapoi is dominant but doesn’t have Anae upside. Ace Faumui is the best offensive player in D2 . But he projects as a SS so he could arguably be the best if he was a full time defensive player.
A lot of guys love keala santiago. Only thing holding me back is the Kahuku front line was so dominant that his job was so easy to make plays. In college it will be different .. I saw him get beat numerous times by Mililani wrs. But 3rd string Qb couldn’t make the throws and DL was harassing all day. Still hope he considers Hawaii
Mahalo for the memories, Jimmy Borges
PRIDEROCK !
Yep, he’s been an icon in his field.

Nate Ilaoa is a very versatile man. Whether in the business or sporting world, he has the chops to succeed. He has the versatility to be one hell of a recruiter. I wonder how that would translate to coaching?
Mahalo for the memories, Jimmy Borges
Really puts things in perspective…Amongst the many thing Borges did was sing the National Anthem at UH Football games during the glory years. I hope he is still able to sing at Aloha Stadium one last time before a UH game.
Mahalo for the memories, Jimmy Borges. Go Rainbow Warriors it’s a new day!

32. I’m not a BYU insider by any stretch of the imagination, but I seriously doubt Sark would ever be allowed on BYU’s campus. Just kidding, but not really.

I literally just went to Yahoo and one of the fresh headlines is Sark just sued USC over his firing, claiming USC did not accommodate for his “disease”.
I think Sark is putting himself into a place where nobody will even consider him as a HC again.
He just needs to accept his firing, get the help he needs for his alcohol abuse, and when he’s cleared, start working hard to get back to being a HC again. This isn’t like the Gib Arnold situation where the school defaulted on the terms ($1.4M payment owed) of his termination. Sark suing USC only seems counter productive in his situation.
Mahalo for the memories, Jimmy Borges
Glad to hear Timoteo reaffirmed. I like Cookus, I think the special teams definitely was the best unit – again. Good to hear he’s returning too.
Is Sanchez coming back? Kind of get nervous when players miss time for “personal reasons.”
Mahalo for the memories Jimmy Borges!

With mid-year JC signing day next week, any news on any recruits? A QB able to come in and compete by Spring would be nice for some competition…

“BRYANT MONIZ”
Na Alii: Sanchez was allowed to miss the last game due to a death in his family.
Temple Head Coach Matt Rhule just signed a new 6-year contract, after reaching the AAC Title Game (loss to Houston) and after just signing a 4-year extension before the 2015 season.
2015 Salary (under the extension) = $648k
I’m guessing his new contract will be at least double what it was this season, if not more. For reference, $1.4M is about the 50 percentile for AAC coaches.
This is how you take care of a football coach at a low budget program. This is the model at which UH should hope for with Rolo. Pay him dirt cheap to start, then extend as performance thresholds hit, then if he hits paydirt, immediately lock him up long term at competitive salary. That way, if he does leave, UH should be receiving a hefty buyout if Rolo leaves early.
49.
Hopefully the future attorneys who write these contracts will be smart enough to implement those factors and clauses.
Mahalo for the memories, Jimmy Borges
I remember Jimmy Borges on the old Hawaii Five-O. He was the coolest. But I don’t want no t-shirt. We all bought Chow Time shirts when Chow was hired, and we all ended up burning our shirts on the charcoal after the second season of Chow Time. We’ll wait and see with Rolo. I wish him luck but not expecting much.

Def need to double, triple check language of UH contracts… But first thing’s first, we need a winner. Live Aloha, Play Warrior.
Hmmmm…maybe UH mascot could be a rock.
The Rock might want to contribute a million and let us
use his body and face…
Regarding Steve Sarkisian suing USC, you may not like it but the Federal Government defines alcoholism as a disease that is covered under the Americans with Disability Act. Employers must accommodate the treatment and care of that individual.
He’ll win this lawsuit because the university inadequately accommodated his illness, and he will get re-hired elsewhere because head coaches with tier one D1 experience are rare.
BTW, if you’re an employer in Hawaii and you don’t know that alcoholism is a condition covered by the Americans with Disability Act, you’re vulnerable to a significant lawsuit.
btw, Cain killed Abel with a rock.
How come gov doesn’t ban all rocks?

#32 & #35,
Gotta agree that Anae also reminds me of former Kahuku DE (and former UW DE/OLB and current New Orleans Saints OLB) Hauoli Kikaha (former Jamora) with his high motor & get-off explosiveness.
Kikaha was listed at just 6-2, 190 his junior season before maturing to his senior season to 6-3, 230…..about the same size that Anae is now.
While Anae is rush DE/OLB, JMHO that Muti (still only 17 years old) will eventually mature/grow into a NG/DT or OG.
Hopefully retaining Cookus will help UH land ILB Kaelin Himphill (Liberty HS, Oregon)….

So sad to hear
ST: Has UH offered Brad Anae? Is he a Sr?
Mahalo for the memories Jimmy Borges.
Not sure if this article from Maui News was posted. But cool interview with Reinhardt. Fills a need at LB left by Gener considering he can cover in space and only JGW is a proven returnee that can cover TEs. But injuries always occur so we need maybe 1 more LB along with Reinhardt. I prefer a bigger LB to pair with Reinhardt in Jordan Kunaszyk.

PRIDE ROCK 2016 STAFF ? my picks lets see yours ?? come on ST lets see who would pick as your staff !!
HEAD COACH = Nick Rolovich
OC/QB = tim chang or craig stutzman or june jones
OL = cris naeole
RB =nate ilaoa
WR = craig stutzman or billy ray stutzman
DC = rich ellerson
DL = lance samuseva or mana tanvasa
LB = vavae tata or cal lee
DB = abes elimimian
ST = Jake Cookus
dir of adm. =brand smith
Why do people think Ilaoa would be a good coach. He has no experience as a coach at any level I believe to base it off.
71. Try clicking it off this. Worked for me. https://twitter.com/BaldHeadTruth/status/673562799973359617
73. No thank you. Our recruiting pipeline would be limited. I hope one coach has a Texas connection. Rolo seems like he knows the Nor Cal area. Abe has So Cal. Cookus has some Oregon- Utah I think. Lance Samuseva hasn’t recruited. Naeole is still learning how to connect with 17 year olds. He’s making progress with his twitter account. Nate is way too experienced.
37.
I was there.
I remember that dedication.
I have always respected his wish not to sing “Hawaii Pono’i”.
If he doesn’t feel comfortable singing what could be perceived as a politically-charged song, especially in juxtaposition with “The Star-Spangled Banner”, that’s fine.
Jimmy Borges is somebody that always hovered in the background of my life.
Not explicitly a fan, but the potential loss of him fills me with sadness.
He is somebody who was around during my childhood; he is somebody my parents and grandparents liked.
A life well-lived.
National Anthem(order of preference)
1. Jimmy Borges
2. old lady choirs
3. ukulele virtuoso
4. UH band
5. 13-year-old girls
Cappie: I would leave out #5, just in case the feds are monitoring this blog.
Mahalo for the memories, Jimmy Borges
I think that Rolo’s wife is from Maui and he used to visit here (Maui) often so there is a connection.
#69 speaking of Maui and linebackers, Teva Eldridge Was the scout team defensive POY. Maybe another possibility next season.
#76,
Jeezy……are you somehow implying that Chris isn’t connecting with his son Christian (senior Iolani DL)? Hehe!
#68,
#99 Anae is a senior……but the other bookend DE #91 Vimahi (already offered by BYU & OSU) is a still junior.
Vimahi and Paipai’s younger brother TE Pua figure to be among Kahuku’s top Class of 2017 prospects.
#74,
FYI……Nasty has been coaching for the Moanalua HS Menehunes.
Just saying without Rigo kicking the ball in the endzone our kickoff coverage is full of holes. This is where I think Santiago could help us. On special teams. I also like Anae. I think he is a junior.
#76,
I’m told that Abe also has some Texas recruiting connections.
Mahalo for the memories, Jimmy Borges!
GO HARD WARRIORS!
#86,
Bradlee is a senior.
Wrong Anae is a senior.
I went by an announcer who said he was a junior. I just checked.
Mahalo for the memories, Jimmy Borges.
Through the eyes of another…
Bradley Anae probably would develope in to a fine OT.
I love Keala Santiago. He’s a football player. Is he fast enough to be a safety or CB in D1? Perhaps a nickel or a great slot receiver?
Ace Faumui, another great HS football player. Where do you play him? To me as a LB.
The hitch with most of our skill position boys this year might be lack of top end foot speed.
Jr or Sr, whatever,…..somebody please offer Anae to stay home. I don’t want to hear later that the guy wanted to play for UH but no one recruited him….
Mahalo for he memories, Jimmy Borges.
79. NotNasti
Now THAT was funny!
Mahalo for the memories, Jimmy Borges
Ace Faumui is a talented player with a lot of athletic ability, along with the frame to grow at 6’2. Problem is that he was held out of Radford’s first few games due to poor grades from last spring at Kalani HS (I believe that’s how the OIA works). He MAY have to go the JUCO route.
Did I miss something that Rigo is not coming back to the program? Isn’t he only a junior with one more year remaining?
Borges said that his slow rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner was intended to let people appreciate the words and meaning of the song. Big Bro chided him about it so much, Borges left him a message during our interview yesterday: “If you’re asleep one night and all of a sudden you hear an extra-slow version of the Star-Spangled Banner in your ear, that me!”
Tried to find Borges’ Star-Spangled Banner on You Tube but no luck.
Any links?
btw, it should be interesting if the Stadium Authority can
sue the Women’s Soccer Federation and make lots of money…
Also the fans…
Lots of slander…”many rocks on the turf…” 🙂
Probably turf pellets.
Suing the National Women’s Soccer Team?
Yes, that will be a real winning PR move. They are the darlings of the media, Hawaii will just look like bullying, misogynistic, out-of-touch yokels.
Time to suck it up and go away quietly.
The soccer team could have handled the situation a lot better than to only think of themselves. As always when you only consider yourself first instead of others there will always be a ripple effect. Unfortunately for the soccer fans who purchased tickets and for those who flew in from the neighbor islands this was a slap in their face. Who wants to celebrate a victory tour of a bunch of prima donnas.
No offense, but offended Hawaii fans won’t affect the team in the least. It is a small sub-population of a small state, and people on the mainland will focus on the health and safety of the female players and the unequal treatment.
The power of the athlete is on the rise. We saw it with the Missouri college football team, and will see a lot more as the fall ESPN continues (annual layoffs, declining subscription fees, and so on). See for example: The Sports Bubble Is About to Pop: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/12/06/the-sports-bubble-is-about-to-pop.html
Just saw Colt Brennan’s Instagram. Seems like all he is doing now a days is smoking dope. It’s a shame he never made it in the NFL but that year at Hawaii is something that I’ll always be grateful for. He was truly incredible to watch
Kennedy would be a devastating run blocker.
Graham re. Colt Brennan; I hope you know that marijuana is used to alleviate the effects of CTE (Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, which ended his career and will likely destroy his quality of life)
See for example: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonbelzer/2015/10/18/the-nfl-should-be-investing-in-marijuana-if-it-wants-to-survive/

If I win give ’em to Mrs. A-house!
83. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if he was a really old school parent and told his kid to avoid social media all together. And I bet Naeole, like Chow, prefer handwriting letters that take forever… Remember Chow said the coaches write 50?? Geez
93. You can’t really Determine yet. A lot depends on how each kid grows physically and the type of speed and athleticism they develop.
Ex. Pilares Rb in high school, got way faster and ended up being a great slot. Owens I think was a RB. Lono Manners turned safety from Rb. I think Faumui is. Strong safety.
Linemen another mystery too. I think Lafaele played C at farrington. Developed in DT. Wayne Hunter DE turned OT.
We have a huge need on DL so I would imagine the DL recruits get first crack on defense
Actually hand written notes are part of contemporary colleges coaches way of wooing recruits: signals someone took the extra time to write to a recruit. Basically, if a coach isn’t hand writing letters to recruits today, they are deficient in best practices recruiting techniques.
See:

ST, Thanks for the May We Suggest blog. I love your suggestions and wish Rolo the best of luck. Going to need your help to followup on walk on tryout WR Malik Lockett? Seems he got lost in the shuffle with Chow. What say you? I saw his name on the UH recruiting list in 2011 . We lost him twice? Let’s not lose him again.
107.
Maybe I’ve seen “Hoosiers” one too many times.
I like how the Gene Hackman character gives “Scooter” a second chance.
This is Division I football, not a charity, and, of course, not the movies, but I still hope that UH has a spot open for its most important player in my lifetime.
Mahalo for the memories, Jimmy Borges.
I just saw the story on Mr. Borges……Mahalo for the memories, Jimmy Borges
Wait just a minute here. How does the Soccer Federation sign off on the field and at the same time not be liable for our expenses when the team pulls out? Business is business. Nothing personal here. What? We didn’t get a signed copy of the contract? SMH
Coach Rolo
Davasyia Hagger would make a good transition into a DE
Dakota Torres would transition well into a OLB
TRUST ME ON THIS..LET THE EYES WORK….EYEBALL THESE TALENTS
Judging from Muti’s highlights, looks like a walking penalty machine. Lots of borderline late hits… not even sure why they would include those in his video. Nothing impressive about laying out 150 lbs. cornerbacks standing around after the play is dead. Definitely an aggressive player but probably needs to be harnessed a bit.
Something tells me an ex-UCLA lineman will now be a Warrior….Hoping it’s true
After Chow’s “Chasing Championships” fiasco, I’m not about to jinx the team with another proclamation t-shirt. Also, Tsai should be the last guy suggesting anyone as assistant coaches, especially after how blind he’s been with Chow and his players and their capabilities.
Sounds like……Auwae had a good home visit from Rolo & Naeole!
I think now every fan that has Twitter realizes what I mean when I said Norm Chow didn’t embrace social media and didn’t know how to connect with the fans. With Rolo doing it now, I can no longer be labeled a hater.. This is what I’ve wanted all along for years
#backtopriderock
PLAY WARRIOR
I am loving it
Hope that Rolo gives Kanawai’s younger bro SB/PR/KR Kumoku a close look…..

Love the way Kalakaua Timoteo is beating the drum for a “chain reaction” of local commits to follow the two Mililani commits.
138. Comes down to need and limited amount of scholarships. With Ursua being a FR and similar type role, Noa best bet will be grey shirt or walk on and earn a scholarship like Owens did IMO.

I hope that it’s true also
