Warriors: Back to work
The Warriors will participate in conditioning drills and weightlifting sessions this afternoon after yesterday’s NCAA-mandatory off day.
The Warriors have an after practice tomorrow and morning sessions on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. They depart for the mainland on Wednesday afternoon.
That will give the Warriors more prep time than Ohio State for the Sept. 12 game. OSU which plays at Virginia Tech on Monday.

Top 10?! 🙂
Yay for 2nd! Hehe
Hello Mr. Burro Sabio!
Good morning, Tsai-kos!
I love it that we won the first game of the season! Sure feels good!
Congratulations again to our Warrior team for pulling off the win and for keeping ahead of the game right from the very start!
Proud of their efforts!
GO WARRIORS!!! 😀
Good Morning, Tsai-meister!
When do you leave for Ohio?
From ESPN about that last play:

Actually at first I was not happy about Thursday night game bc I had to rush from work, fill gas on my way, grab something to eat for dinner since I’d just make it in time for the game, then work the next day but hey, I can take a couple for the team if it means they can rest up a couple more days before heading off for their next game in Ohio, right?! 😀
Have a nice day everyone!
Stay dry and safe as much as can!

Did you ever get WiFi?
Hey, I got to be top 10 a lot today! Yipee!!
Hoping that makes up for all the months I did not post?! Teehee
Eeks!
ST: Nope! 🙁 Was v. sad I couldn’t WB, FB, or Yelp! 🙁
ST: It’s OK! I got to watch the game live in person right in front of me! Hehehe 😀
Have to admit was a little worried that our first game of the season would be canceled due to the weather, but everything cleared at least in the Aloha Stadium area in time for the game. And what a game it was! Was awesome to see some defensive domination again. The Offense while not firing on all cylinders all the time showed that they can play hard and with attitude. The Special Teams have a few things to figure out but again the aggresiveness on kick blocking is always a major plus in any game and the kickers/punters seem like a dependable group.
Overall a great game for the whole team and not it is on to the bigger challenges of the schedule.
GO WARRIORS!!
UHfan808 –
You ARE Wi-Fi! So nice to see your smiles all over the Beat again. 😉
ST … any commentary on why certain guys didn’t play? Injuries? Etc.? What happened to Stub? How long with DSJ be out?
Reflecting after beating Colorado. Boise St beat Washington. When’s the last time two Mountain West teams beat two PAC 12 teams the same weekend? But now it’s t moving forward time. Warriors managed only 12 1st downs; 4 by rushing. They have to improve their running game. Another blogger on yesterday’s blog mentioned that only 2 running backs were used against Colorado. Are we that thin in capable running backs?
Ratmin – My man!!! Good morning!
Agree with your assessment. Lots to work with, lots of positives.
Aside from the game, itself, it’s a great educational trip for the team to the Midwest, especially the local players. They also get airline miles, too.
Go Warriors!!
Props (in this case) to Boise State’s win over UW. Good for the MWC (along with UH’s win). Read some condescending remarks from Husky fans regarding the Bronco’s stadium and field. Scoreboard!!
Getting ready for my trek to Columbus, gonna meet up with Mike Biscotti, Jim Rodden et al. Will be attending a UH function prior to KO and I have it from a good source Kimo Kai Associate AD/UH foundation about 450 to 500 in attendance could be more. It will be a great weekend and game! Go Warriors!!!!
Well ever since our Governer Ige used the “perfect storm” in describing the zipper lane fiasco, I suppose we could possibly use this with our game against Ohio State who is playing a Monday night game. This leaves for a short turn around to plan for Hawaii. Ohio State may be over looking Hawaii. We still have to play the game and desire and heart can accomplish miraculous things. Hawaii beating Nebraska in the fifties with 27 players in Nebraska.
Hi DPK!
So nice to see your awesomeness here!
Thank you for your warm, welcome, witty, and beautiful compliment! It deserves a –> 😀 !
Glad to see Rigoberto Sanchez got a game ball.

I know it’s a one in a million chance to win but just show up and bring your A+ game and let the game fall into place. Just hope no serious injuries occur. I was concerned when I heard a few members of the d were dinged up including Shawley and fa’alologo
Any update on gener?
Washington State just lost at home versus Portland State. Guess the Buffaloes will not be alone at the bottom of the Pac12.

Morning Ms. UHfan808
Bowling Green was 4th and 3 on their own 10, went for it and made it. Few plays later scored 6. Dino has some stones.
Interesting read about making necessary adjusments to win:

Morning. Does anyone know what channel and time is the OSU game?
Uhfan808: dont worry you ain’t the only one. Sure it’s Ohio st but who knows lol
Regarding keeping leverage on the run vs. crushing the run:

Warriordave: they play Monday I believe on abc
Okay, think I posted enough for me to read about this The Ohio St fb team and coaches hehe 😉
Markazulu: Exactly! 😀
If they have a strength, they also have a weakness.
Questions are:
What’s the opponent’s weaknesses our team can focus on..?
Thanks UHfan808 for posting all the information… That’s a lot of reading!!
Hawaii and Boise St. are the only two teams in the MW not facing any cup cakes… Both Hawaii and Boise St. were able to beat their Pac-12 opponents. For Peterson of Washington, returning to the blue field where he coached, lost to his former team. Boise St., continuing to be successful after changing head coach.
Uhfan808: I honestly think there greatest weakness is they’re overlooking Hawaii. So who knows maybe with there guard down Hawaii can catch um on the chin.
Tanman:
Sure thing you’re welcome!
Gotta get to know our opponent so can figure out potential tactics and strategies options!
Hopefully we just gotta work a lot harder! 😉
UHfan808 thanks for the 411. Appreciate the info. But what adjustments were made by Ohio? Common sense tells me when you have talent pound for pound on the field. Then it comes down to coaching. Coaches made the adjustment whether in the play calling or adjusting players. Lord knows you don’t necessarily need the best players you need the best and talented coaches to make something out of nothing. Yes, any team can be beat. But when your going against the best program in the nation, not just a football team. with a million dollar recruiting budget. You can be sure what’s on the field is golden. They recruit All-Americans and bring top level coaches to their staff. Why? That horse shoe stadium holds generations of legendary games and players. And brings alot of money to that University. It’s all about the money. Something we here in Hawaii lack. UH can and will learn from this game. Great experience for them.
Wow! Portland St – 24, WAZZU -17 – Final
Sorry. I meant the time and channel of the UH vs OSU game. Need to set my recorder before I leave tomorrow.
Warriordave: I know it’s gonna be on the big 10 network and the game time is 9:30 Hawaii time.
Nice to Eweliko being used on special teams. Can’t wait for St. Juste to be ready to play. Defense played great. Number one priority for the Ohio st. game is keeping key players healthy. No injuries!
Louisiana Monroe just lost to Georgia 51-14
A good 47 minute video but Good to learn about your opponent coaches (Urban Meyer going to Ohio St; at OSU) and player personnel (tells stories of certain ones) and the philosophy and tricks they utilize to work with and motivate their team; I love the gatorade challenge to trick their players into becoming hydrated before the day begins (we may not have that much gatorade to around but just plain water always works):
http://youtu.be/JPwUyrw5gmE
I can’t even remember the last time a preseason number one team that ened up there at the end. Beat Ohio St.!
I’m really looking forward to watching Wisconsin vs Alabama today.
Thanks Markazulu
rundown808:
If you got that common sense from that article then you got it absolutely. Haha THAT was and is my point.
The idea about Something from nothing. There are many players and coaches. Just bc a player has certain stats, doesn’t mean said player cannot improve to a higher level given the right coaching that helps the player reach even greater potential. Take Boise St and Chris Petersen being able to break things down for his players/coaches so the team can understand how to reach success we’ve seen it is possible. That we lack funds is true but we don’t have to have it all entirely just to have a team but it would sure help in recruiting and making it a whole lot easier to keep the players fit fed well-rested and clothed, wouldn’t you say?
By the way, the “But” you typed totally and effectively negated the thanks and appreciate you typed unfortunately for my perspective and kinda hinders what you were getting at but I fortunately I’m gonna take what you said in a postive way, okie dokie, Smokey? 😀

Markazulu: No; sorry, I been looking ahead reading about our upcoming opponent
7. UHfan808 …The play by play record with the box score, on the UH athletics website, says the last pass was to the six yard line for a first down. If so, the clock should have stopped at that point.
http://hawaiiathletics.com/boxscore.aspx?path=football&id=14230
Hopefully Bondi can kick it deeper into the endzone on kick offs in the next game.
Hiya UHfan808 — good to see you back!
I never kept stats on this, but did you know that gigi-hawaii once had around 21% of all the comments one day? 🙂
UH players a lesson can be learned from the last play of the game.
Should this be a situation in the future for a UH offense in the waning seconds of a game, the receiver in this type of situation should never toss the ball to the outside official, but run it in to the official who will be placing the ball down. If that was done by the Colorado player they would of gotten at least another play off.
Wisconsin vs bamaon abc
PAC 12 not having a good week. Washington State lost to Portland State 17-24.
#86 Islandman,
The pass completion to the 6 yard line was short of the 1st down marker. That’s why the clock kept running.
86 islandman:
IDK yeah, I was just stating the article link.
I’m just glad it went our way for once this time. One of these 3-4 years we were bound to get hit by miraculous luck, right?! Haha!

Hiya! Thank you! I love Tsai-kos and WB!!! It’s great to be back! 😀

Guess I got blocked out by moderation about 4 hours ago. All I said was that Wahington State lost at home to Portland State. And that Colorado is not going to be alone at the bottom rung of the Pac12.
Saw a blurb that Portland State had less than a 3% chance of winning. So moral must be some kind of chance is better than none.

I was rooting against Boise St., they are our rivals and can’t stand them!
Greg Salas didn’t make the 53 man roster in Detroit. He was placed on IR for a knee injury in the last game. I know it sucks to be injured, but it may work out better for him. If not, he would have been cut. This still leaves hope that he returns during the season.
Still about a whole qtr left in the game, UNLV looking good on the road against favored N. Illinois. Perhaps the MWC will be a lot better that the bobble heads thought. That is a brand new coach at UNLV, the great Nevada high school guru.
Must be bachi from me as N. Illinois scores two touchdowns after my post. UNLV trails by 15.
UNLV defense getting gashed. Offense can’t pass protect roght now.
Hey can anyone give me some information on Ohio State?
I don’t have much to do for the next 6 days.
Sanchez. 0-1.
Bama is rolling right now. 35-10
Cleveland.com is expecting Ohio State to be upset next week … http://www.cleveland.com/osu/index.ssf/2015/09/5_reasons_virginia_tech_footba.html
Seriously, talk about lack of respect. Ohio State schedules Virginia Tech on Monday, and Hawaii on Saturday. Couldn’t they fit an FCS team in for a Thursday night game?
119. Good one.
Bankers prevent defense not good.
Money not everything. Look at Texas.
119 beans:
At your service! Just scroll up!
Being prepared means being aware of our opponent, right?
If it takes you 1 day to read them all, Yikes! I worry! Geez..! 🙁
😉
Anyone know if there’s a coaches show on TV this year? I know Inside Access moved to OcSports, but is Coach Chow on it?
I believe Greg Salas on IR means he can’t return this season
119. Rundown: All QBs are required to wear knee braces on their forward throwing leg as a precautionary measure.
Greg Salas, although being placed in injured reserve, will be cut by the Lions after clearing waivers. This, according to the Detroit Free Press:
“I’m sure it had a little bit to do with (being cut),” Salas said. “I don’t know exactly.
“I’m just going to keep my talk with the coaches just between us. I’m just thankful they gave me an opportunity.”
The Lions have placed Salas on injury reserve and will likely cut Salas with an injury settlement once he clears waivers.
UNLV vs NIU. Biased but Colorado is a lot more talented bigger and athletic than NIU. Rebels were spirited but went down. NIU was going thru the motions first half. It bodes well when we visit them later in the year. Now after today Warriors will get a good dose of attention with the upcoming game I am sure some of it will not be optimistic to say the least but I will take the attention anyway. Go Warriors!!!!

Man, I hope this will be THE season!! 😀
FYI Cleveland.com also did both sides and wrote a sister article that speculates the 5 reasons The Ohio St will beat Virginia Tech lol:

72 Warrior Dave: 9:30 am Saturday, channel 1248 Big10 network. Thanks for the idea. Just set my recorder too.
You ready? Lets Do This!
Out of curiosity, does anyone know what the road uni’s look like. Saw a picture of Max Wittek in a uniform same style as home but more of a Kelly green as they say. Anybody aware of that or will it be more along the lines of white? Just curious- go Warriors!!!!
Why aren’t they using ewaliko more, clearly one of the fastest on the team, in my opinion. Didn’t see to much breakaway speed from the receivers. Get him in there, down field it’s worth a shot! He’s capitalized and made big plays every time he’s gone in. Is it favoritism? Or what? Curious fans wanna know??? Are we watching the same game is Chow? Doesn’t he gets it by now? Wake up Chow and listen to the fans, public and media!
What’s up with Reardon. He must have fallen off his stool.
Nice reporting, and writing, job by Stephen on the Paul Harris story. Informative, inspiring. A kid you can’t help but wish a whole heaping helping of success — on and off the field.
