i loved the article about Wisonsin’s Def. End who is a marked man with double and triple team blocking assignments…..he could compare notes with Ryan on beating the block, but the secret weapon is the jab step Makapu’u spinner with a well placed elbow……haha……
Go Wahine, take that #12 seed and make them stick it where the sun don’t shine……that is really a crock of ‘you know what’….

..Game facts: Wisconsin at Hawaii
What: Wisconsin (8-3) at Hawaii (6-6) in a nonconference college football game
When: Saturday, 10:30 p.m. Central time
Where: Aloha Stadium, Honolulu
TV: ESPN2 with Terry Gannon and David Norrie
Radio: WIBA-FM/101.5 and AM/1310 with Matt Lepay and Mike Lucas
Schedules, rosters, stats: Wisconsin | Hawaii
HONOLULU — In one breath, Kerry Cooks says he believes the University of Wisconsin football team’s cornerbacks will bounce back from a poor performance two weeks ago against Northwestern.
In the next, the Badgers’ secondary coach admits he never knows quite what he’s going to get from a young group that includes starters Devin Smith and Niles Brinkley.
So Cooks will hope for the best but knows he’ll ultimately have to wait and see until the Badgers take the field Saturday night against pass-happy Hawaii at Aloha Stadium.
“As soon as you feel pretty good about a game or two games, about the kids understanding the concepts and practicing hard and moving forward and being ready to take that next step, then you face a game to where they take another step back,” Cooks said. “Now you’re back to square one.”
That’s where Cooks’ players find themselves after the Badgers’ 33-31 loss to Northwestern on Nov. 21. The Wildcats had 364 passing yards and became the fourth team this season to have at least three passing touchdowns against UW, which ranks 76th nationally in pass efficiency defense.
The cornerbacks aren’t solely to blame for those issues, but they’re clearly the weakest link on the team.
Cooks’ biggest issue with Smith, Brinkley and backup Antonio Fenelus has been a lack of consistency. The young corners – Smith and Fenelus – are sophomores, Brinkley – a junior – will be good in one game and bad in the next.
Case in point: On Oct. 31, UW held Purdue, which is third in the Big Ten Conference in passing offense, to 81 yards through the air. The next week, Indiana passed for 323 yards and three touchdowns and nearly pulled off an upset.
Sometimes, as was the case against Northwestern, UW’s Jekyll and Hyde act will appear in the same game. The Wildcats produced 248 passing yards, 27 points and all three of their passing touchdowns during a first half that saw them build a 13-point lead.
In the second half, Northwestern had 116 passing yards and scored its only points on field goals.
Had it not been for the fact Cooks shaves his head, he would have plucked every last hair out by hand this season.
“You can’t begin to understand how frustrating that is,” Cooks said. “You go out there in the first half and you give up (27) points, then you come back and give up six points. It’s like, ‘Go play that way in the first half.’
“And all it is is just focus and paying attention to the details.”
UW (8-3) will need to do both well to contain Hawaii (6-6), which features a run-and-shoot offense that uses four wide receivers and ranks third nationally with 348.7 passing yards per game. Sophomore quarterback Bryant Moniz’s favorite target is Greg Salas, a 6-foot-2, 200-pound junior who has 103 receptions for 1,559 yards and eight touchdowns this season.
Preventing the big play is something the Badgers have struggled with this season. It could be an issue again against Salas, who averages 15.1 yards per catch, and the Warriors.
UW has allowed 41 pass plays of 20 or more yards this season, including 15 completions of 30 or more yards.
Northwestern had seven plays of 20 or more yards through the air against UW – including six in the first half – while Michigan State, Iowa and Indiana each had six apiece.
“It has to be every play, every game,” Cooks said. “It can’t be every 10 plays are great and then have one (bad) play, because that one play is the one that hurts us.”
While going against an excellent passing attack such as Hawaii’s might not seem like an ideal scenario after the way things played out for the UW secondary at Northwestern, coach Bret Bielema sees it as an opportunity for the group to prove itself.
“The only way you get it off your chest is to go out and play,” Bielema said. “I like the fact that they know that they’re a focal point of our success.”
Cooks might not know exactly what he’ll get from his group Saturday, but he’s confident effort won’t be an issue.
“They definitely won’t back down,” Cooks said. “They’ll be excited. They’ve got a bad taste in their mouth right now that they want to get out. As a DB, these are the type of games that you want to play in
day yu go!
Coach Rolo! Moniz! Medeiros! Salas. Oline. Coach Gordy. Go Go Go

“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.”
DPK ~ Funny thing you should mention my favorite varmint. I happen to be inside one of the Chinatown stores on Tuesday. While looking for a new steamer pot, I spotted one heading across the floor. Imagine the looks I got when I yelled “RAT!” grabbed a frying pan and threw it at this creature.
The store owner almost made me buy that pan! I told him I was calling the Health Department on my cell phone…he changed his tune then. I was so mad I finished making the call because he tried to make it look like I was the Rat!
I’m still looking for a new steamer pot.
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.”
#54 u really dont forgive do you? sorry again. please forgive me. im serious
According to Derek Inouchi in a UH Press Release…
University of Hawai‘i senior John Estes is one of six finalists for the Rimington Trophy, presented to the outstanding center in college football. Estes, who holds the NCAA record for most career and consecutive starts, will make his 54th straight start this Saturday when the Warriors host Wisconsin at Aloha Stadium.
Way to go John!
Good luck to Estes! Hard to imagine he has started every game since he was a freshman.
54 starts…that’s amazing… not just 54 straight games.. but starts..
We’ve been lucky with centers and long snappers… hope that trend continues.
Kekoa-
Too funny! I’m glad you aren’t afraid to use deadly force on them rats!
It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.

ST ~ Great to hear of all the seniors graduating and those who plan on being here as graduate students. Gonna miss them. *sniff*sniff* (Aunty emotions) Coach Mack & staff are doing a great job making sure these students graduate.
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.”
GO WARRIORS!!!
(at practice yesterday: Hope the players didn’t think I was saying, “They’re going to win”, assuming WI…I should have said, “We’re going to win”, when I was talking to Rick. Some of the guys turned around to listen to us…FOCUS guys!)
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.”
Aloha Gangee! Big weekend for football, so let’s get it on!
GO WARRIORS!!!
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it,” said Coach McMackin as the Warriors faced 4th and inches against a hungry line of Badgers.
More than three and an half quarters of flesh pounding, sweat borne inches brought them here. 4th and inches… less than 3 minutes on the clock. Warriors up by a single touchdown… on the Badgers 28… Badgers with 1 time-out remaining, Hawaii with two. Clock still ticking.. counting down.. 2 minutes 31 secs.. 15 secs left to run the play…
The home crowd stand in silence.. the roar of the smaller Wisconsin constituency can be heard chanting.. “Defense.. defense..defense”…
Hawaii QB Moniz, looks towards the sidelines.. first to Coach Rolo.. then Mack.. then back to Rolo and nods…and starts to check off all of his men leading them to what might be the last Warrior snap of the evening…
“Make this and I won’t have to go Xmas shopping for the seniors..” smiles Moniz as he counts down…
“Come at me and I make you pay,” snarls Kia silently… muscles throbing.. shoulders pushing out his pads…
… to be continued…
Good morning Tsaiko Nation!
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.” Under center…fake to Green up the middle…quick slant to Salas…TD!
TOUCHDOWN! Warriors win and are going bowling.

It’s fourth down, I’m going for it!
I’m very impressed with the senior class, so many are on track to graduate this semester or next. Not to mention those who worked on the so-called “difficult” degrees like economics. (Can’t include civil engineering, even Stretch earned that! Nah, just kidding.) Then throw in those who are already working on their Master’s degrees!
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it,” smiles Salas… digging his left cleat deep into the worn turf of Aloha Stadium.
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it,” nods Pilares … “Ready or not, here I come, ” he grins at the prospect of trearing down field stretching the weary Badger’s defense to it’s limit.
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it,” sneers Jovonte … “Make it special … Oh yeah, baby.. make it special.”
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.” glares Medieros … “There’s a reason I bust my butt of for this… make it count baby.. make it count.”
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.” mutters Leon Wright Jackson… “No better motto for our 2009 class… it was 4th and 6, 5 games ago… now it’s just 4th and inches… we can do this.. I can do this… come at us baby..”
Moniz lifts his right leg and stomps on the ground… “It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.” he yells!
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.”
It’s fourth down, I’m going for it
I think that Aaron Kia the Warrior would be a good addition to Vili the Warrior Entertaiment Group.
That is of course…only if the NFL doesn’t work out.

Announcement re tomorrow’s volleyball coverage will not be made until after today’s match.
However, if something does happen, there may be some live tv from Los Angeles being shown at various concourse locations inside Aloha Stadium at 5 pm tomorrow since the football game is not being broadcast live on K5.
No first or even second-hand confirmation of this – just word on the street, so to speak. Perhaps Stephen can check it out.
Back to work – yell loudly at your tv sets this afternoon..
misinformation from Koakane…. What’s new.

Congrats to John Estes- healing vibes to Kenny Estes

Anyone who has tried to sit in front of me (theDocs) knows I can make the most annoying 12th man sounds in the stadium to shake up an opponent’s offense.
TOMORROW, the 12th man will BE IN DA HOUSE!!!
C’MON PEOPLE- SHOW UP FOR OUR WARRIORS the way THEY SHOW UP FOR US!!!
ALOHA STADIUM NEEDS TO SHAKE, RATTLE AND ROLL TOMORROW!
FILL ‘ER UP to CAPACITY and let the Badgers know that HAWAII HAS RISEN UP AS ONE and WILL NOT GO DOWN!!!

“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.”

“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it… It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.” repeats Hisatake…”It’s fourth down, I’m going for it and loving it! Three years to get here.. three years of learning Offense.. make it count baby.. make it count.. this is it… “It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.”
Badger Defense makes a final shift … Moniz heart stops a beat… “Damn, we were right..they’ve lined up exactly as we hoped! Hike it, John.. hike it.. Now!” He yells the final count..his head echoing… “It’s fourth down, I’m going for it!”
The last cadence is like the sound of a starter’s pistol.. loud and unmistakable.. suddenly instead of a whoosh and thump… everything seems to be happening in extreme slow motion for our Warriors.
Estes’s last thought as he snaps the ball and lifts his hands and forearms up with that signature thrust that his 54 consecutive starts have helped him create ..”It’s fourth down, I’m going for it … going for it.. going for it.. going for it!”
Every step the Badgers make seem lumbering and easy to control. Moniz makes his first read… check. .. his second.. check line… his third … check ..fourth… fifth!…
A Badger defender breaks away on the blindside and lowers his helmet with a full head of steam racing towards Moniz. The Badger fans are in an uproar.
Warrior fans hold their collective breaths.
PathUUUNNK!!! The Badger defender, on a mission just a split second ago, looks up with his back on the ground to see a fist clenching Leon Wright-Jackson stepping over him and moving towards the outside…
Moniz looks to his blindside… firms his grip on the ball.. goes back to his second read.. Looks downfield at Salas locks in… freezing the defenders for a split second… and let’s the ball fly.. screaming… “Senior night, baby! make it happen!”
It’s fourth down, I’m going for it
MIH- luvvit!!!
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.”

Tomorrow is the day Seniors and team make sure you leave it all out on the field play with Great Pride for you have represented a whole state and have answered the call win or lose Mahalo for being Warriors! Carpe Diem!
Badger fans.. scream.. “Pass.. pass!!.. dEFENSE!!”
Warrior fans.. standing.. silent… it’s all going too slow.. too fast, and too slow..!
The ball seems to be going where it shouldn’t.. Salas is on the other side of the field. Pilares and Jovonte are deep in the endzone.. not enough air under the ball.. Leon Wright-Jackson peers over the Badger defensive line … watching helplessly as the ball spirals 5 yards short of the goal heading towards the right – sideline.
Older fans feel their knees go weak.. want to sit but cannot.. not just yet.
Younger fans feel the cool air making them want to race down the concourse towards the restroom.. but not now.. not in a million years.. not now!
For the first time tonight.. Vili and his group are dead silent. The Cheerleaders and Rainbow Dancers watch wide-eyed as the ball floats nearby…
No one near.. no one …
Cept.. one… spinning away from his lone defender.. Medeiros cuts right turns at the last second and goes up… UP… higher than his 5’9″ seems capable of… Badger defender closing in. Medieros mind screams, “Senior night baby!” Medeiros coming down … ball between his outstretched arms.. Badger defender a split second away… Crowd gasping at what looks like an steamroller bearing down on the Warriors most diminutive receiver…CartunkKKKK!
Warriors ROAR!!!
Loud.. high pitched…”Nooooooo!” can be heard echoing around the stadium..
NOoooooooo! again… NOOOOOOO! again!
Jovonte watching the flight of the ball … quickly adjusted his route and flies into the would be Badger defender just as the the Defender has left his feet. Medieros eyes light up as he clutches the ball and comes down just inside the sideline before stepping out on the 6th to avoid the crumpled heap of players on the field.
Jovonte.. shakes his head.. slowly sits up… adjusts his helmet.. and lifts his right hand for a high-five with Medieros….
1st and goal on the Badger 6… 2 minutes 6 seconds to play.. Moniz taps his helmet… winks at Rolo who turns to Shane shakes his notebook for the go ahead… and then points to Chizzy. Your turn.. shine..
d1,
Be safe and stay warm. There is snow forcast for that area this weekend. Could be an interesting game in McMinville on Saturday.
Shane Austin.. looks around at his teammates… It’s first and 6. We got four downs and just over two minutes to play I could take a knee. I could take three knees… but when ..”it’s fourth down, I’m going for it!”
mih is on a roll..

Wasn’t it Vince Lombardi who was quoted (after a failed 4th down), “If you guys can’t get me 1 yard….”. Anyone remember that? What was the entire quote? I remember it for his attitude/philosophy, but concede times have changed. BTW, I applauded Mack going for it last week.
Go for it! There’s no tomorrow…unless it’s the Hawaii Bowl.
GO WARRIORS!!!
It’s fourth down, I’m going for it said Walter Mitty!
Congrats John Estes – you are no. 1 for us – and for the nation!
Fourth down and 6 score… Three knees… less than 15 seconds on the clock… Shane looks to McMackin … who smiles and turns his back… then he looks to Rolo who’s looking a Mack.. who turns back and shrugs.. and signals a handoff..
Chizzy read it, too… he can’t believe it. “It’s fourth down, I’m going for it!” his mind screams…
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it!” his head screams again… as Shane counts down… “It’s fourth down, I’m going for it! … dayumn….!!” The snap! the thumps of bodies colliding..the ball..in front.. now against his mid-section.. in his arms.. legs pumping… “THERE light! THERE a small gap! Growing.. ! Can do.. Got to.. Got to… GOT TO..It’s fourth down, I’m going for it, baby!” Chizzy pumps his legs.. contorts his body.. turn left then right.. breaks one tackle.. another.. 6 yards.. 5.. 4 yards..3.. “Why is it so quiet?” he thinks.. 2 yards… “Where are the fans?”…1 yard… “Goal line baby!”… 2 feet.. 1 foot..
where he stops. Puts the ball one inch short of the goal…and takes a knee…
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it!” next game…baby.. next game.. gotta show my respect .. gotta be humble… gotta stay hungry … gotta be a Warrior but gotta keep the Aloha, too.
First player to Chizzy put his hand on his shoulder.. second player too.. Chizzy looks up expecting to see green on white.. but is surprised to see Badger colors. RESPECT … didn’t come easy… “It’s fourth down, I’m going for it!” was 6 games ago, he thinks… “and we made it.”
Greg McMackin.. soaked with Gatorade… doesn’t feel the cold.. just he heat from his chest bursting with pride… The announcers are blaring over the speakers.. “Please stay for the Senior night program which will commence shortly…” .. it’s message repeating the obvious..”Do not rush the field.. we have a program to follow.. do not rush the field.. please..”
The players have shown their respects towards each other.. the Coaches have shook hands… Mack thinks back to the Notredame game and smiles and the very different outcome tonight… he looks over his shoulder where the players have come together to do the Haka… He stops.. watches..
thinks..
“Gee, when our players dance.. they dance like a bunch of fa…..
mily”…
“Ohana!” he thinks “The other teams.. they dance like … ” he smiles and starts to motion like he too is doing the haka as he walks towards the team..
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.”

G’nal ~ Happy Bertday my friend! Hope to see you at the T-gate so we can toast to that magic number.
M-I-H ~ I feel like I’m reading a suspense novel about a real game with our real roster of players involved. The only thing that would top this would be if someone in the stadium gets shot by a roof top sniper – just when coach Mack decides…
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.”
So who dunnit, and who is the victim?
Sorry G’nal…the ‘O’ was taken by the Ducks yesterday and never returned!

Funaki Selected For NCAA Football Coaches Academy
University of Hawai‘i senior running back/special teams member Inoke Funaki is one of 30 student-athletes selected to attend the NCAA Football Coaches Academy. The Academy will take place January 10-12, 2010 in conjunction with the American Football Coaches Association Convention in Orlando, Florida.
“I was extremely happy when I was notified that I was selected to this camp,” Funaki said. “It’s quite an honor to be among the 30 student-athletes who were selected. Coaching is one of my career ambitions and I’m excited to be able to learn from the best in the collegiate coaching profession.”
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.”
Hiya Rob25 and LizK! Happy Aloha Friday.

I fell asleep right after half-time so I did not see the end. I got a rash of trash from my colleagues who are Huskies, Cougs, and Duckies about the loss. I reminded the ‘dawgs and ‘cats that they LOST to the mighty Beavers!!! Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
While it is cold now it will get a lot colder over the next week. Next Thursday night will be a real warm one — it will rise from 11 on Wednesday night to 18 on Thursday then back to 9 on Friday. Whew! Almost going to break a sweat.

If you can’t kick a 30-yard field goal, you don’t deserve to win a DI football game.

H-Bod!!!
Got your e-mail. But yeah the new 24hr in Pearl City is awesome!!!! I believe they spent over $5,000,000.00 on building it. Only thing is, I always hated the smell of chlorine in the pools and the pool is indoors and the AC is kinda hardcore so coming out of the sauna can get pretty cold.
Other than that the gym is beautiful! I think it may be the best one on the island.
Sit!

Someone go ask that Lobo player that thinks New Mexico is equal to Hawaii a few days ago what she thinks now? 😆
I just don’t understand how equal you can be with a team that just swept you considering the fact that they (Wahine) had more mistakes than usual and played a simple game?????
I don’t get it. 😆
Mahalo to 808ike who stayed on the phone with me to give me some play by play towards the end of the last set!
Can’t wait to get home for the replay at 7pm!!!!
GO WAHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great going Wahine!!!
Three game sweep!
So in that case, “It’s fourth down, I’m going for it” is not their battle cry!
OK – time to wrap it up and head towards the airport. Have to miss the light parade traffic.
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.”
BooYa!
It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.
H-Bod,
Brah, I’ve never been in a sauna before, but it can get NUTS!!! It’s like being in a hot car, on Mercury. The steamroom was worse for me as. Got used to it now. The machines are all new and my favorite ones are the two huge freemotion cable machines. My only beef is that the leg press machine that needed actual plates are non-existant. Seems like the pulley system is taking over everything.
Tons of cardio machines too on the second floor and a nice basketball court as well. The first or bottom floor is where the weights, machines, locker rooms, pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and steamroom are.
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.”
Went to two sports bars to see the Wahine play and no one would turn on a tv set for me so I headed on home to watch the the end of set two and all of set three
Start calling K5 to request that tv sets be set up in the concourse area tomorrow afternoon before the football game.
Back to watch the USC/Oklahoma match.

My Adidas
walked through concert doors
and roamed all over coliseum floors
I stepped on stage, at Live Aid
All the people gave and the poor got paid
And out of speakers I did speak
I wore my sneakers but I’m not a sneak
My Adidas cuts the sand of a foreign land
with mic in hand I cold took command
my Adidas and me, close as can be
we make a mean team, my Adidas and me
we get around together, rhyme forever
and we won’t be mad when worn in bad weather
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.”
Warriors…do not do as I say/write….pleeeeeeeease haha
“It’s 4th down, I’m going for it.”
i’ts 4th down, i’m going for it……………
standin on 2 Fifth St.
funky fresh and yes cold on my feet
with no shoe string in em, I did not win em
I bought em off the Ave with the black Lee denim
I like to sport em that’s why I bought em
a sucker tried to steal em so I caught em and I fought em
and I walk down the street and I bop to the beat
with Lee on my legs and adidas on my feet
and now I just standin here shooting the gif
me and D and my Adidas standing on 2 Fifth
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.”
it’s 4th down, i’m going for it
Now me and my Adidas do the illest things
we like to stomp out pimps with diamond rings
we slay all suckers who perpetrate
and lay down law from state to state
we travel on gravel, dirt road or street
I wear my Adidas when I rock the beat
on stage front page every show I go
it’s Adidas on my feet high top or low
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.”
it’s 4th down, i’m going for it
Now the Adidas I possess for one man is rare
myself homeboy got 50 pair
got blue and black cause I like to chill
and yellow and green when it’s time to get ill
got a pair that I wear when I’m playin ball
with the heal inside make me 10 feet tall
my Adidas only bring good news
and they are not used as selling shoes
they’re black and white, white with black stripe
the ones I like to wear when I rock the mic
on the strength of our famous university
we took the beat from the street and put it on TV
my Adidas are seen on the movie screen
Hollywood knows we’re good if you know what I mean
we started in the alley, now we chill in Cali
and I won’t trade my Adidas for no beat up Bally’s
My Adidas..
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.”
Lose and go home.
Or well, lose and don’t go anywhere really…
Same mantra for two different teams. Tomorrow, our Warriors prepare to defend the hale against a big and bad Badger team just to survive and get to the Hawaii Bowl and our Wahine are poised to prove themselves the #3 team in all da land against two good opponents in either SC or Oklahoma. Lose and the result is the same for both. Disappointment.
I don’t need to rehash the season our Warriors had to go through. All the REASONS and mishaps of injuries and unexpected short comings in game performances early on put us in the hole we are in as a team and as an ohana, a Warrior ohana. How sweet was it in San Jose? How glorious was it at home against Navy, when the giddy gamblers placed the farm on the line in favor of the Midshipmen? Now the “I told you so” telemarketers are preparing their victory speeches. Now they are preparing to bask in their self-proclaimed righteousness. Well, in their minds at least, no matter how unbalanced the mind will be in that state. Must be difficult when you can’t find a soul to listen to you anymore in your personal life I guess… 😆 It doesn’t take a scorned rejection to realize that the Warriors face their biggest (literally) challenge to date, it was the same scenario last week, but not as literal of course. The coaching staff proved to be very competent in defending that which some claim is “undefendable” especially for this team that couldn’t defend the basic run in Ruston, LA earlier in the season, but the Warriors did their home work and won the battle, much to the dismay of many a scorned UH ‘fan” 😆 . I’d be lying if I said I have my doubts, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have any last week. I’d also be lying if I said I wasn’t proud of our Warriors. We’ve had the haters extraordinaire come in here and call these hard working kids names, attack their facebooks or MySpace… all of that crap. They’ve been quiet, heck they might have shot themselves in the head last week. Who knows, who the hell cares?
At this point nothing can surprise me either way, win or lose. The Warriors fought their back to make this season into something memorable thus far, but the story is not over, it has yet to be written. However, I think I have decided, I am glad to say that I read this “book” from the beginning and will continue to do so until the end.
—————————————————–
Our dear Wahine aka the PRIDE of Manoa and the glory of a state. When you think of “royalty” in athletics at UH, Dave Shoji is the master of all he surveys. Earlier in the year I wasn’t sure how the Wahine would be able to work out the 2009 season with the losses of Tara Hittle and Jamie Houston as you had first time starter Stephanie Ferrell playing and Elizabeth Ka’aihue finally healthy starting at libero. Wasn’t too sure about Brittany Hewitt either. They proved me wrong during the regular season and that was great! I saw a team that hustled on the dig this year, I saw a team that DRASTICALLY improved on the blocking game thanks to a breakout/debut season for Hewitt. We swept foes UCLA and Stanford and continued to dominate the WAC. The big factor this year was the BIG TIME emergence of Aneli Cubi-Otineru as a leader. You could see it last season, but as a senior, she really shines. SHE SERVES LIKE A FREAKIN GUY!!!!
When one thinks back on the year, the wonderful memories of 1000 wins and the atmosphere inside the Stanley was just EPIC. We were graced by the return of RUBBERBAND MAN and a crowd of nearly 10,000 came out to show Dave Shoji some REAL volleyball support. 2009 was special. Many feel this could be our chance to return to the Final Four. Is it? Well, this team shows more consistency than previous squads considering the way the seniors contribute as starters and off the bench players in comparison to past teams.
—————————————————–
We’ll find out tomorrow, we will all find out tomorrow. What’s left in the tank for the Warriors and what’s REALLY in the tank for the Wahine.
You can’t craft up this kind of drama. No amount of hired television writers or creative minds could draft this up and turn it into actual reality.
I feel queasy… 😆
Shut up!!!
You talk too much…
You talk too much…
You talk too much…
You talk too much…
Hey! You over there, I know about your kind
You’re like the Independent Network News on Channel 9
Everywhere that you go, no matter where you at
I said you talk about this, and you talk about that
When the cat took your tongue, I say you took it right back
Your mouth is so big, one bite would kill a Big Mac
You talk too much You never shut up
I said you talk too much Homeboy you never shut up
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.”
You talk about people, you don’t even know
And you talk about places, you NEVER go
You talk about your girl, from head to toe
I said your mouth’s moving fast, and your brain’s moving slow
You talk too much You never shut up!!
I said you talk too much Homeboy you never shut up
You’re the instigator, the orator of the town
You’re the worst when you converse, just a big mouth clown
You talk when you’re awake, I heard you talk when you sleep
Has anyone ever told you, that talk is cheap
You talk too much You never shut, up!!
I said you talk too much Homeboy you never SHUT UP!!!
Talking is the one thing, that you can do best
You told the cavity creeps, to watch out for Crest
You never have the story, right and exact
And then you always try to bore me, with your yakkity yak
You talk too much And then you never shut up
I said you talk too much Homeboy you never SHUT UP!!!
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.”
Everyday you are out fighting someone in the street
And you’re always fighting someone you know ya can’t beat
Then you wonder how, you got in this mess
Just think of what you said, then take a guess
You talk too much You never shut up!
I said you talk too much Homeboy you never SHUT UP!!!
You’re always spreading rumors, whether bad or good
You’re the damn Walter Cronkite of the neighborhood
The Barbara Walters, and the Howard Cosell
You always come around, with a story to tell
You talk too much And then you never shut up
I said you talk too much Homeboy you never SHUT UP!!!
Said it’s everybody’s business that you love to mind
And talkin to you, is like dropping a dime
You’re spreading the word, like it is your job
You should be a stool pigeon, who works for the mob
You talk too much And you never shut up
I said you talk too much Homeboy you never shut up!
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.”
A big blabbermouth, that’s what you are
If you were a talk show host, you’d be a star
I said your mouth is big, size extra large
And when you open it, it’s like my garage
You talk too much And then you never shut up
I said you talk too much Homeboy you never shut up
You always like to gossip, just like a girl
You talk so damn much, it’s outta this world
When you’re reincarnated, in your second life
You won’t be a man, you’ll be a nagging wife
You talk too much Then you never shut up
He said you talk too much Homeboy you never SHUT UP!!!
SHUT UP!!!
SHUT UP!!!
“It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.”
Wafan,
Like LA Fitness? Hmmm… Well in Pearl City there wasn’t too many people on their blue-tooth while working out and most of the females were naturally beautiful sans cosmetic surgery.
😆 hehehehehehehehehe…..
Twenty-five hours, eight days a week
Thirteen months outta year, is when you speak
I’m tired of listening to the garbage you talk
Why don’t you find a short pier, and take a long walk
You talk too much Then you never shut up!
I said you talk too much Homeboy you never SHUT UP!!!
You talk too much You could be, out of breath
You talk too much Man you naggin me to death
You talk too much Tired of hearing you speak
You talk too much Eight days a week
You talk too much Then you never shut up
I said you talk too much Why don’t you ever SHUT UP!!!
You talk too much Then you never shut up!
I said you talk too much Homeboy you never SHUT UP!!!

That makes you special. Now, here’s the line up: Swan, second-in-command, war chief, stay by me. Snowball, you’re the music man. Cowboy: soldier of the middle. Vermin, you’re the bear. You carry the tokens and the bread. Rembrandt, you got the stuff? I want you to hit everything in the city. I want the people to know that the Warriors were there.”

The survey for start time should be online for all those fair weather fans who make up excuses as to why they are not at the game.

Dan blast it! I acciedntally down loaded a virus into my computer at work and it crashed big time. Took our IT guy nearly 3 hours to clean it up; thank goodness it was using a “free” program that was designed to delete this virus.
Learned a tough lesson that I’m supposed to use ALT F4 to delete “pop-ups” every time it appears on my screen.
It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.
kobe needs him so tickets pleassssssseeeeee
Wahine VB got its work cut out for them against USC as they have 3 or 4 “trees” – dang, they must be over 6’4″ tall!!!
But, the Wahines are much faster and hit harder and they will prevail. Too bad that the match is scheduled for 5pm tomorrow.
It’s fourth down, I’m going for it. x2
Congratulations to Mr. Funaki for being selected to attend a very prestigious camp for future coaches. One of 30 selected!!

I’ve got such a great great feeling about our Warriors and our coaches.
We’re getting ready to peak at the right moment. Not now. Too early. 3 weeks from now!
We know what we’re playing for. All the marbles. All the marbles. Sorry Wisconsin. I love the cheese. But I love my Warriors!
Go Warriors!
Woohoo! Hope they heal quickly! Aside from the fact that they haven’t healed yet, how do you feel about the job this go around?
It’s fourth down, I’m going for it.
wafan,
Great! We also went to a Christmas tree lighting yesterday that had cards and paper out that kids could write messages on and they went to the soldiers recovering at Walter Reed hospital. The troops everywhere need our support.

Congratulations to Liem and Bulla for winning the final tickets for Wisconsin!
I wonder how many more posts will talk about 4th down now that the contest is over…maybe people won’t notice.
This football handicapper is telling people to bet on UH.
Article in the Maui News about the UH-Wisconsin game.
Wisconsin’s coach praised UH in the article.
congratulations to bulla and liem.
sorry LizK and jm2375, but i tried my bestest.
btw, to be honest – if it’s fourth down, i would kick the darn field goal (of course if it’s within a reasonable distance).
whooooooooooooooosh!
“300” is a great movie. Hope the Warriors are hunkered down in their hotwls with the TV tooned (no pun intended) to TNT.
ST, I emailed you about my information. thanks again!
Mmm. Sorabol.
Congratulations Liem and Bulla! Yell your A**es off!

Ok! So. I need a ticket. Anyone got an extra?
lizkauai at gmail dot com
mahalo. 😆
Liz,
I hope that you get to the game. By the way, Mrs. Momo is preparing pan lau lau for the Tsaikogate before the game…
A recruiting service interviewed Joshua Quezada and it appears that BYU and Utah are his top 2 choices now…hopefully that changes, but if not that is too bad and hopefully the coaches will get their next RB choice.
Pan lau lau! 🙁
I’ll check the concession at Linfield, but I don’t think so….
howzit wafan.
garanz i going yell enough for da 2 of us. Go Warriors.
pssttt…
Panaewa,
THANK YOU FOR THE TSHIRTS. AWESOME. I GONNA WEAR DA BLACK AND SILVER “S” TSHIRT TOMORROW. MY FAVORITE!

No forget… David Katina.. DE from Samoa .. UH recruit/commit will be in the house tomorrow… Talofa!
al – check your e-mail
mih…i think that there will be several others as well.

Checked the e-mail, but nothing new. However, we had to do a scan earlier this evening because of a virus threat. Is this something everyone is supposed to know before arriving at Cabana B?
Helloooooo….
Is there a spare ticket out there for Liz or Liz? Please? LizKauai gave her ticket to my friend, AnnodahLiz, and now LizKauai can make the game after her training. Mahalo!!!

Looks like I’m going to have to look up a couple more things but this was a really good place to start.
Thanks so very much for making this available.
