Ilaoa withdraws from telecast

Dos?

Hey ST,

How do you see the football team doing after that loss to UNLV???? You think they’ll bounce back? I know a lot of people now losing faith in this team because of that loss.

whaaaa??!!, am I 1st???, gadzzz!!, it’s 11am here in texas?

Just to get it of my chest, since I’ve been noticing this situation for much too long; I don’t like the slackadaisical body english that qb-Moniz displays. It sets the wrong tone for the offense…..he has to be the leader of the offense…so there needs to be a display of urgency. a giddiyup in his persona. but, that’s just my observance.

will they give b clay a shot at FS? or they want him at SS?

Great Morning All!

Being social or sociable?

ok good, thanks.

Moniz has never been accurate. Bryant has never been a long ball qb. Greg Alexander was the same. Colt Brennan and Timmy Chang were true long ballers. When he had the rythm going, that’s when Moniz clicks. Even Colt and Timmy had moments when they lost the rythm. Moniz when he has the rythm, is a good 10-20-25 yard passer. With Greg Salas and Kealoha Pilares, that’s all you needed. I thought this years team was the best in terms if talent, since 1966. I was wrong. It is a good team. But not a super team. It will do well against so so opponents, but struggle against upper tear opponents. Maybe with luck, a Aloha bowl is in the offering. I love this team win or lose!!!!

Good Morning Tsai-kos!

I’m sure that everyone saw the news that the Pac-12 will not expand. Some interesting tidbits here. Note that there are 5 years left on the Big 12’s ESPN contract for their first-choice TV rights…that is expected to triple if the schools stay together (bringing them to $30 mil/year per school).

I’ve been told Texas and Oklahoma officials will get together in the next week to iron out differences and pledge to at least a five-year commitment in the Big 12.

There will be a sense of urgency to add one school and possibly more to the Big 12, sources said.

The Longhorns, who had been hoping the Big 12 could stay alive from the beginning, got the news early Tuesday from Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott that he didn’t have the votes to expand.

Sources told Orangebloods.com at least six Pac-12 presidents opposed further expansion, and Larry Scott needed nine of 12 votes to approve any new additions.

Sources said after it became clear the Pac-12 didn’t have the votes to admit Oklahoma and Oklahoma State without Texas, Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and Texas House Speaker Joe Straus contacted UT regents and urged them not leave the Big 12 for the Pac-12.

Some funny things about Oklahoma now saying that they want equal revenue sharing:

1. Who has been getting the most money from the Big 12 conference distributions over the years? Oklahoma, not Texas. Has Oklahoma felt badly about getting more than Texas and millions more than other Big 12 schools? Hah.

2. Who sued so that individual schools and conferences could sell TV rights instead of having all D-I schools share in a NCAA basketball-like TV deal? Oklahoma. Oklahoma made sure that a school like UH would never be part of Oklahoma’s TV deal. Have they complained about the hundreds of millions more than UH they have gotten from TV since then? Hah.

3. Oklahoma gets an average of $7.5 mil from their Tier 3 TV rights according to the link below, and since that number has increased each year I’ve read that it is up to $8.5 mil now. According to the Business of College Sports, Texas was getting $338k from their Tier 3 TV rights (too many of their games are picked by ESPN or Fox) until they got the Longhorn Network. Some other Big 12 schools were getting $0 for their Tier 3 TV rights. Did Oklahoma offer to share some of their money? Or did they just start talking about sharing Tier 3 money once Texas started making more than them?

http://blogs.mercurynews.com/collegesports/2011/08/24/pac-12-expansion-assessing-the-options/

This talk about “sharing” non-national TV rights worries me because UH is in the same position as Texas. The MWC can tell UH to throw the entire PPV deal money into the conference TV pot (we’ve even seen this mentioned in the Star-Advertiser), which would end up costing UH about $1.5 mil.

I thought football was won and lost in the trenches?

Oh, I see, if you lose though, easier to pick out ONE individual who’s vitality LIVES off of the performance of his line of defense.

The offensive line is thin, injuries and lack of depth/game experience are not a secret and this is a long term issue we’ll have to deal with for the rest of the season… but still easier to pick out one individual I guess.

Kind of like a mental protective barrier some people need to have to try to help convince themselves the issues to fix are easier than they really are.

I’m all for calling out individuals when they are not doing their part, but I don’t agree that the performance issues over the last couple of games are Moniz’s fault. Kevin is right, the line is struggling. That’s obviously going to affect the QB.

I’m more confused with the play calling than anything else. Game one we saw what we thought was a new wrinkle to the offense with Moniz on running plays, but haven’t seen that “wrinkle” since. What happened to that aspect of the offense? It was so successful the first game, why abandon it? I know it isn’t going to catch anyone off guard like it did the first game, but there is definitely a place for it in this offense.

Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂

We need to get better by doing our best one practice at a time, one game at a time. That goes for coaches and players. Last season we had the same record at this point. Its time to strap it on and work hard. I like Stephen’s #8. Redemption begins this morning at practice. Nuff said.

GO WARRIORS!!!

I didn’t read that as a rip on QB1. Just an opinion of the state of things as one person sees it.

That view is not without merit as one knock lots of folks had in last preseason was the lack of a long-ball and his endurance as the season wore on. It was stated that those things were addressed in the off-season training regimen.

I mentioned it recently that 3 of his receivers are now in the NFL (counting AG outta da backfield) and to date, as 1sportsfan notes, a lot of things they did have yet to be replaced.

It’s not a negative to say that plenny of last year’s 5k yards of passing were YAC or that maybe the promise of improved range may have been a little overhyped; it just is what it is…

Sampson is where with the 1’s?

Kevin,

UH owes a lot of its improved UA deal to the great position it was in at the time–would UA have been as interested in UH if UH wasn’t coming off a Sugar Bowl appearance and historical levels of media coverage and TV ratings? When the current deal runs out, we need UH to have similar success…or expect negotiations to be more difficult even if UA isn’t bought by Nike.

Billy Ray Stutzmann is sitting out practice. Scott Harding is with the first team.

Good for Harding but it is really sad that another starting receiver is having to miss practice. UH needs its receivers to build chemistry with Moniz and with each other–the patterns that UH’s receivers can coordinate with each other and the blocking that can happen when they are all in sync is hard to do if they cannot practice together.

OL and WR were the 2 least experienced positions for UH entering the season, the positions where UH had the most question marks. Let us hope that the rash of injuries at both positions stops soon.

Hey nobody has mentioned what a great job Graves did when he came in at QB.

Five out of Five passes and a touchdown drive on his first series..

This guy is going to be good, and should get much more playing time..

Kevin,

My comment was because I thought you were commenting on a chiefgator’s comment. It seems like you have an issue with mctruck’s view about “slow motion” that I read as meaning pre-snap.

Have to admit that I didn’t see anything of Graves because you cannot see the field from the parking lot at Boyd Stadium however, if I’m not mistaken, it was stated that by that time the Rebels had a mix of 1’s and 2’s on the field and were likely running their base/old stuff…stuff that all the QB’s had a chance to study on film.

Graves did good and is prolly the future but I don’t think there needs to be a QB controversy at this time.

Garrett ~ here’s an interesting Q&A with Navy AD Chet Gladchuck.

http://navy.scout.com/2/1108796.html

Main discussion is what is going on with the conferences. Navy’s in a slightly different situation being independent, but a lot of the discussion points apply to Hawaii as well.

I think the slow motion/lack of urgency that mctruck was referring to was Moniz’ getting the play from Rolo, breaking huddle, getting his line set up etc.

During the UW game at around 8-9 minutes I too was wondering why there wasn’t any sense of urgency.

Even the most amateur of amateur arm chair QB’s could see that UW would do anything and everything to run down that clock. Every second was important.

Mack then went on record as saying they “ran out of time” in the UW game.

Oh wells.

#59

Agreed. Imo Moniz > Graves.

So if the BIG12/Big LEast has 1 team left in the conference…it still gets an automatic bowl bid?

But how many teams do you need to consider yourself a conference?

I thought a conference needed x-number of Div 1A schools to qualify as a conference.

iwwthm

i think the minimum for a conference is actually six

it may be eight for automatic qualification such as NCAA tournament

NOT SURE what Curves BCS stuck int there (i’m SURE there’s quite a few)

The whole Graves things does not even factor into the equation at this point. Obviously he is the future because Rolo passed over Shane Austin to give the future QB some live bullets. But it is what it is — the future. So long as Mo is healthy, he is the QB this year.

Now I’ve always been critical of Mo’s long ball. I’ve come to the realization that he is a short ball guy. Very rarely will we see a streak pattern completed in the Moniz Era. Colt and Tim C. were the last of our great long ball QB’s. I’m sure we will have one again one day, but looking at the current stable, it doesn’t appear to be the case at least for the immediate future.

BIK

BIK

thanks for the updates. wat about the D?

I hope Billy Ray isn’t battling another injury…=(

It is nice to see some changes in personnel. Hopefully the new options work better.

A One-Team Big LEast would be good for a Death to the BCS Break-up

but it wouldn’t be the first time they’ve barely had one or less worthy team

Really beneficial many thanks, There’s no doubt that your current subscribers will probably want a lot more blog posts like that maintain the great content.

Too me practicing half speed with no pads and no hard hitting is only hurting this team remember this is not last years team time to step up and represent.

So… when a company that didn’t see much value in you is rumored to purchase the majority of stock in the company that did think you were worth something… I think I have just cause for concern.

Now, if the rumor comes true and the subsequent assumptions that UA will still operate with a big amount of “autonomy” (oh… there’s that word again!!!) then my concerns are moot.

Kevin,

I understand your point and you are not wrong with your concerns. One thing that we should ponder is that Nike apparently didn’t value UH much even with success and we know that UA valued UH when it has historic-levels of success. I guess one of the points I was trying to make is that we don’t know for sure that UA will value UH much more than Nike if UH isn’t coming off a 12-0 regular season with national rankings and a Heisman candidate.

Masteruke

IS BOISE going to “HELP” Rolo make chages/adjustments, fixes and corrections ? [wake up]

Coach Paul Johnson (COY @ GA TECH) would say when you choose an offense you gotta know

How to Adjust (when the other TeamS throw you curves)

HOW to fix it when it’s broke

i DO think (yes i’ve talked to all of ’em) that Dave Aranda (like

Dick Tomey, Bob Wagner & McMackin) IS a Defensive Genius

AND Rich Miano didn’t survive 14-15 years in the NFL on Speed & Talent alone …

They’re Both WAY Smart AND Work WAY Hard …

That Combination Just About Always Wins …

and Defense should be o.k.

MOST Years Offense should also be o.k. like, TOP TEN Nationally

but in years where we struggle finding a good experienced (fast progression) QB (after Rolo, After Colt) or have OL/ WR problems we’ll struggle for a while (most times NOT that long)

The Fastest Way to Lose is To Play The Other man’s Game …

[Betcha Go to Vegas …]

Too me practicing half speed with no pads and no hard hitting is only hurting this team remember this is not last years team time to step up and represent.

I agree with this point. On the other hand, all the injuries makes it really risky for the coaches to have the players go all-out with hitting in practice. Look at how banged up the OL and WR positions are already. When depth is thin, coaches often reduce hitting in practice.

In my opinion the injury situation makes things really hard for the coaches. Before this season UH had several years of good luck with injuries. This year the injuries seem to come at the places where UH can afford it the least.

This trickles down to everything on the field. For example, the receivers couldn’t practice with Moniz much in training camp since they were hurt. That seriously hurt the timing of passes, especially deep passes. That could lead to problems with deep passes, which leads to Moniz being criticized about his long passes. The lack of YAC may also be due to a lack of QB/WR timing (when the ball is delivered on time it is a lot easier to start running) and a lack of chemistry between the WRs which hurts the downfield blocking.

eagle,

Yes, the Big East or Big 12 would only keep AQ status temporarily, until the end of the current BCS contract, since there is no way to kick them out. If either conference gets raided significantly, I could easily see that conference losing AQ status under the new system that will start in 2014.

Addidas showed NO interest to UH as far as football is concerned, but Addidas sponsors men’s basketball at UH and has for a while.

And people won’t be too thrilled with Russell Athletic.

It appears that the UH/UC-Davis game is on ESPN3.com and ESPN GamePlan. It will be nice to watch a win to help forget about the UNLV game.

9/24 11:59 PM EDT NCAAF – UC Davis vs. Hawaii ESPN3

http://espn.go.com/watchespn/index/_/source/espn3/#channel/espn3/category/FB/type/upcoming/

We live in the age of sudden change.

I am happy that Coach Mack and and company are firmly rooted in the spirit of the game as a developmental tool for young men of good character.

Those qualities will live as long as the people live… win, lose or tie.

What place will football have in a gentler, less materialistic world? I think about that and am content to enjoy the game as it is for as long as it is…

GO WARRIORS!!!

GARRET My point is you got too weed out the weak from the strong and only hard hitting at full speed will find out who are the men and who are the boys.

Variable change in inevitable, especially with corporations, I think we’ve all seen that.

But all I can go by is what has happened and what current business relationships are working that benefit UH and the student-athletes.

Until 2016, when the UA football deal expires, the relationships UH has formed with UA and continue to nurture will also play a big role in a renegotiation of similar or bigger terms.

Business is business, but an 8-year business relationship has it’s advantages over forming a new one with a shady past.

Hasn’t the 48 hour limit been passed? Let’s move on, please.

Here’s my line up for the new MWC:

North Division: Oregon, Oregon St, Washington, Washington St, Air Force, and Colorado St.

South: Hawaii, Fresno, Nevada, San Diego St, UNLV, BSU.

And NO travel subsidies for any school.

Now, why would Oregon, Oregon St, Washington, and Washington state leave the PAC 12 – cause they would have ZERO chance of winning the conference championship if Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St and Texas Tech move into the PAC 12.

ah, dream on!!!

SLIGHT CHANGE OF SUBJECT: Happy Autumnal Equinox Day. We are officially now in the Fall Season.

BACK TO SPORTS AND THE COMMENTATORS: As a former English teacher and editor, I really have difficulty reading some of the comments because the writers do not correct spelling, grammatical & usage errors before submitting their opinions & ideas. The ones that I wind up skipping over are those written by people who think that punctuation, capitalization, and using full names/words at least once before switching to abbreviations is a huge waste of time.

If you want your suggestions & comments to be read by the coaching staff and UH administrators at all four levels, then please pay attention to how you put your comments in writing.

Off to work – back after 10 pm tonight.

6 pm game… maybe the Warriors should practice a couple of times at night? get used to the night lights? Or at least practice catching kicks at night…

Miah is a good player but got NO problems with starting Clapp! He may not have proved himself in practice but he proved himself where it counts, on the field. *Clapp Clapp*

Hey all,

Looks like Kealoha Pilares will be ready for sunday’s game.

WarriorNY –

That’s great news for Kealoha. Awesome pic of him too. Tanks for da link!

All you knuckleheads out there who are picking UC Davis to blow out or even beat UH this saturday…I think you’re being quite disrespectful, especially as a UH fan. I know you’re not being serious. And if you ARE being serious, I dare you to put money on the game. Not the spread, but the UC Davis money line (to win straight up…even the smallest of wagers would win you a healthy sum).

Anyone who believes UH won’t WIN by anything less than 3TD’s on saturday is crazy. UC DAVIS SUCKS.

Just had to get that out there….

damn to bad about Nate was looking forward to see how he would pan out the whole season.

good fortunes to him

Kimchee Fried Rice makes me wanna fly over to BCD…

Pomai:

We -> 27

Them -> 31

UH is so unpredictable so early in the season…

UCONN and Rutgers deny that they agreed to stay in the Big East…sounds like they are headed for the ACC. Why state that you aren’t pledged to stay unless you know you are out the door?

Multiple officials at Connecticut say the school has not committed to staying in the Big East Conference and continues to look at other conference options.

The officials, who asked that their names not be used because of the sensitive nature of the negotiations, denied that Connecticut and Rutgers agreed to stay in the conference during a three-hour meeting among Big East football members on Tuesday.

Kevin,

Wondered if Harding said at the beginning of camp, “I can use a helmet here? With a facemask?” 😆

Just touched down at HNL. Heading back to the ceded lands. It’s great to be back home in the islands. (tsai)

My seat partner was a young man named ‘Keith.’ He works with Bulla & Lyn. Small world!

d1shima,

Fla. Atlantic isn’t an FCS team, why did u list them?

Happy Birthday, tall, handsome, polite and Warrior Fan son of Ronnie!!!

BELIEVE….. that word sounds familiar.

The team that BELIEVES and ACTS will prevail.

Where there is a WILL, there will be a WAY.

Get all the good joojoo lined up for the Warriors!!!

GO WARRIORS!!!

The Cal-Davis game should be a watershed event for the Warriors…We’ll find out who “steps-up” and who don’t. Bottom-line, they need to make changes in personnel if people don’t produce. Give the opportunity to the players that “want to” make a difference versus those who “don’t show-up” when the lights are on…

169,

You’re right, that was before they became FBS. But there shouldn’t be any relevance anyways, because I doubt anyone on the UH roster back in 2004 is still on it this year.

Wud be nice to see leslie getting pt. He supposedly a ht recruit. Think hawaii guna be ok this year.

#154,

ST,

That sounds like a great lineup! Go Warriors!

#170,

Unfortunately UNLV has already locked that theme in…=(

Just wondering, do you really think we’re going to lose at home to an FCS team?

I posted those scores in response; it has happened…

RedZone,

Yep, the “leftovers” from Cal, Stanford, UCLA and USC. There’s a lot of talent in CA and a lot of freeways to get to them.

UC-Davis has been playing quality football at whatever level they’ve been for years.

Welcome home, Kekoa!

I think that accounts for erryboddy! 😉

Adding to the comments:

Defense was supposed to be the strength of the team. Miano called his DBs the best in a decade, smart. We had d-tackles that could move the pocket. We have the same d-line that put up a stirring goalline stand at Fresno (?) last year. They have played with flashes of meeting expectations but have problems with giving up the big play. Too many is the problem.

Big problems on special teams. I think McMackin should be angry with Tomey. Any interviews with Tomey on what he thinks? How do you get two PATs blocked, in the same game?!

Moniz is a proven R&S quarterback but if he’s spending too much time looking for where his receivers are, then not so good with a weak O-line. Remember, he has to look for his receivers and avoid a sack. Weak meaning unproven to provide sustained protection (3.5 seconds?) and inexperienced.

Warriors should win against UC Davis but most fans probably fear an ugly win.

Damn Laura, I hate it when I have to agree with you. Clapp is almost a given because of Miah’s injury. I’d like to see what Harding can do. He exudes the “want to” in making things happen. I stated before if given a fair chance he’d lead the team in yac. But the reality is if Stuitz can go, practice or not, he’ll start.

I don’t know if this was talked about in earlier blog but it was really disappointing to see the max exodus of Hawaii fans with like 9 mins still remaining the 4th Quarter. I even had to push back on my folks who were visiting from Hawaii.

iwwthm,

Tru dat!

Try 3 deep waiting to get a spot on the craps table at Main Street!

#202 – Obviously the last to finish lunch also.

The slots are taking too long to get into the passing lanes…they need to run inside slants at the line of scrimmage and immediately look for moniz. Rolo should show video of Chad Owens, how he used to pause a second at the line then run under the lb’s and catch passes over the middle in stride and end up turning 3 yd catches into 8 yd gains. Play smarter and be quick. Take too long and you give up sacks. A quick release is useless if no one is looking for the ball.

CN = you gotta be kidding, right?

Is Felipe still on board for the sideline reports?

So, that falling space debris has a 25% chance of hitting land and 75% of hitting water. I certainly wouldn’t want to be traveling over the 75% in an airplane that day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AARON!!!

#114 A-House: Nice line up for new MWC but I would put BSU up north and take out Colorado St. And put BYU or Utah in south and dream on!!!

I doubt Pac-10 teams will move over

Having said that.. keep your ears piqued when showering or bathing..

No need. Buggah coming in supersonic; by the time you can hear it, you won’t!

Biggest problems I’ve noticed on offense this year:

Mis-managed time outs;

Inconsistent snaps from center which takes away precious time in the pocket; which leads to receivers “over-running” their routes;

Too many dropped “catchable” passes;

Not enough YAC.

Too many turnovers. BTW, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team miss 4 PAT’s in two games. (2 blocks and 2 missed 2 pt tries)

THE WARRIORS HAVE BEATEN THEMSELVES TWICE THIS YEAR. THEY WILL TURN IT AROUND!!

Did someone hijack Pride.???

Alex (549JamMan on the forum) told me that you could help with a “permalink” problem I was having with wordpress. Can you take a look for me?

As for Oceanic, it will be great to see and hear Robert Kekaula describe

Re-Jason Kaneshiro

I read his article yesterday on former Warrior OC, Ron Lee, who is now coaching at Kalani.

Kaneshiro did a super, super job. He wrote an article that was insightfull and befitting of what you might see in a Sports Illustrated magazine. It was that good.

If the SA was smart they should allow Kaneshiro to spread his wings more.

If I had a say, I would suggest the SA move Kaneshiro into the Warrior beat writer’s/blog host’s position.

The public needs more than what they are getting now.

Hmm…….whatever

Thank Kevin. I know JJ’s Brioler but I wasn’t sure they were showing the game.

Mickey – what time do u want me to arrive on Saturday?

Warriors 52-17 – thanks Pomai!

D-Bright practiced today?

Would be nice to see +230 yards rushing next week… Hammer time!

Happy Birfday to Aaron!!

Great to see you and your Mom on Saturday at the tailgate!!

Excellent! 🙂 Well stated Mr. Blog Host!

Three Oh Won!

*parting words* DON’T LET THE DOOR HIT U ON THE WAY OUT!

WVB tomorrow at 4 p.m. HST, I assume ESPN 1420, live stats on UH site. Idaho is 0-16 all time against UH. Ouch! First home game for Idaho, first road game for UH, whoever made the Idaho schedule didn’t do the home team any favors, and we complain of playing two road games in the row. 🙂 Idaho played 12 matches in the row on the road.

Thank Kevin. I know JJ’s Brioler but I wasn’t sure they were showing the game.

hawnstln — I am 99.99% sure and I’m not even in Nawiliwili. 🙂 But you did ask about the Kapaa area so maybe someone knows a place.

As things turned out, tell Hagi I should have gone with him at the UH-UNLV halftime to find classmate Regina… 🙁

BTW, Hagi said that classmate Al K. was there too… hmmmm

Na na na na

Na na na na

Hey hey hey

Good-bye…

Aloha and God Bless… be happy…

What did I miss?

Nutten. ST just refilled the pool with fresh water.

hawnstln- I think I’ll be able to watch the game somewhere. Wanna have a Cattle-Game Call? I think I can pick you up if you need a ride.

Wanna send a shout of thanks out to Kymry for picking up the Warrior Pez’s for me in Honolulu. There are 9 happy mainland Tsai-kos (and my boss) today.

IS IT SATURDAY YET???!!!!!!!!

mih- Port Allen is even further away from Kapaa 😆

More on the UA/Nike rumor front.

http://www.investorguide.com/article/9588/nike-nke-rumored-to-consider-acquiring-under-armour-ua/

Nike defied bears last quarter by trouncing all earnings expectations, and shares have also since rallied and survived the August crash. However, lingering doubts remain regarding Nike’s dominant position, growth potential and market saturation. An acquisition of a fresh name like Under Armour, which is already available in 20,000 retail locations, would boost its position considerably through horizontal integration.

…

An acquisition of Under Armour would create new synergies which would save Nike capital by combining manufacturing facilities. In addition, Under Armour would complement Nike’s current line of subsidiaries, which include Converse, Hurley, Umbro and Cole Haan. It has been reported that Nike may offer $100 per share for Under Armour, an acquisition premium of 27%. However, Nike shareholders might wonder if the company might get a better deal down the road. After all, with such a high P/E any negative volatility is likely to bring the price down considerably, saving Nike hundreds of millions. It may be prudent for the company to wait on a better price before it pays such a high premium.

In addition, Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank owns over 24% of outstanding voting shares, and his brother owns 5%. Based on Plank’s past comments and future vision for the company, it seems unlikely that he would cash out and sell his company to Nike, even at $100 per share. Under Armour also recently announced that it would double the size of its Baltimore headquarters, which suggests that the company is actually gunning for Nike, not preparing to be acquired by them.

Either way, Under Armour is still a fast-moving growth stock which has legs to run, and can even sprout wings if it successfully brings it business to emerging markets.

al-san – bp and triple choc cake are on the t-gate menu Saturday. Be sure to grace us with your presence.

There might also be some choc chip cookies to sneak into the stadium for snacks. (I didn’t say that 😀 )

Like most normal people, I wouldn’t do something over and over again that I don’t enjoy…Especially when I have full freedom and choice not to do it.

Sometimes when we refuse to choose, someone will choose for us…Good lesson learned tonight. A broken record can only go round and round for so long until someone sick and tired of it will pull the plug.

The End.

IWWTHM:

But the subsequent posts were about how much somebody didn’t like the blog. So after some consultation, we decided we’d help somebody out of his misery.

Again, no hard feelings.

And we wish him the best wherever else he chooses to go.

Sorry ST, you said “we” either you mean we as a blog or “we” as the SA staff, but if you meant blog participants, I do not wish them well at all.

You and a few others probably have a good idea what I truly wish for them and the like.

iwwthm – sometimes ST stops by the post-game t-gate.

I dunno why I capitalized Baylor.

Im tired.

Nitey nite n Tsweet Warrior Dreams!

Suddenly, the Warrioe Blog feels ALOT cleaner…Mahalo ST!

gee…did i miss something?

Pride. . . .

Met your little brother at the LV cc. Super nice guy! Must run in the genes.

Hope you are as proud of him as he is of you!!!

Yes Wafan, I’m very proud of him. Served twenty years in the military and now working for the VA office.

I sometimes wonder if my parents brought home the wrong kid. My brother takes vacations to run marathons in different parts of the country. What a waste of precious vacation time.

al,

#355 I think ST locked out a certain individual and his various personalities.

thks curt.

that means that pride. just lost his first #200.

no wait, i think it was stretch.

gosh…poor thing yah.

poor thing those guys cannot get back on.

how they/he going retaliate now.

mwahahahaha.

So I saw ST come and sit down at our table at the Na Koa Luncheon…Then I realized there was a imposing figure sitting behind me…Didn’t expect to see RK there. For the longest time I thought he brought in his own sippy cup. I thought that was interesting…then come to find out it wasn’t really a sippy cup.

I dunno.. but I take my BP every night and like tonight, whenever I go to McDonald’s for a meal, it jumps 30 points…. not good…

Season’s still young…. show your Warrior Spirit.. Support your team, the coaches, and program..

Will bring cucumber kim chee to the t-gate. Wife will add sweet cucumber pickle to the list–momo

mih- Perhaps time to abandon the golden arches for awhile. Had a salad with a can of sardines in olive oil for lunch today… Satisfying! God Bless and take care!

mih…in the past three years, i’ve had mcd’s only four times. once as recent as a month ago just to support a certain moms group in kauai.

momo’s cucumbers in paradise.

i guess i missed the pan lau lau.

The banned visitor has nowhere to go, he has been banned from other sites for what he has been doing here …..

yeah mcdonalds is not a good place to go if you have blood pressure issues.

if you must indulge you are better off going to some place like kua aina, burgers on the edge, honolulu burger company, etc where the food while still fatty will probably have a lot less salt/preservatives. you can also have it ordered the way you want.

MIH – however, if you do frequent such establisments you need to increase your potassium (fruits and vegetables) intake to offset the effects of sodium.

Probably need a lot of fruits/veg though.

I don’t think french fries and a fruit and yogurt parfait with the Big Mac is going to cut it.

good morning from the land of the rising bird. ha was 2 hrs late.

#382 – ST – hope your insurance is paid up. LOL

So who was banned from the site? What names did this person use?

Pomai: UH 31 – UC-Davis 28

We’ll be at the T-Gate around 2 pm – have an outreach project from 10 am to 1 pm. We’ll bring something for the Post-Gate.

Off to bed – have to be back in town for a workshop -registration starts at 8 am.

Geez, a full on SMU.

Too bad folks have not figured out there are consequences to their actions or inactions.

Just talked about that to my civics classes yesterday.

Pride. . . .

Too bad about your little brother. Must be really distrubed to ruin his vacations like that. HA!

Time for the decent to the salt mine.

Tsigh.

Play nicer!

Thanks for the suggestions you have contributed here. On top of that, I believe there are numerous factors which really keep your auto insurance premium all the way down. One is, to consider buying vehicles that are in the good set of car insurance corporations. Cars which might be expensive tend to be at risk of being lost. Aside from that insurance policies are also based on the value of your vehicle, so the higher in price it is, then the higher the premium you pay.
