From today’s practice:

• Royce Pollard will retain his job as the No. 1 right wideout and kick returner.

• Dustin Blount, who has been cleared to play, practiced as a backup slotback and kick returner.

• It appears defensive tackle Rocky Savaiigaea will get the start at left tackle.

• Defensive end Paipai Falemalu said his right ankle is at 85 percent, but that he still will play.

• After Bryant Moniz met with local reporters the past two days, he is now off limit for interviews until after Saturday’s game.

    Good Morning, Tsaikos!

    HB Mrs. A-House!

    For those of you with iPhones:

    Oceanic has an app in the App Store called Oceanic TWC. On Friday, they showed the Kahuku-Farrington game live. It is now available as a re-telecast. I believe they will doing this for all the games on OC16.

    The app is free (not sure if you have to be an Oceanic customer).

    The UH should be doing the same. There’s a large audience out there that would love to have access to UH sports. If you look around, you’ll see that other big time programs have apps out there. Don’t have the resources to get it done? Tap into the UH Info Sci department. Otherwise there’s some smart Tsaikos that can do it. Got to think big time.


  37. whitey October 7, 2009 7:09 am

  50. oldie October 7, 2009 7:26 am

    To expand on what I said about mobile apps:

    The UH cam do all kinds of things for its fans. Link to the UH home page and Rainbowtique, video clips of sporting events, promos from their major sponsors, fan polls, etc.

    By going to the Info Sci department and using students, they give these students valuable learning opportunities.

    There are over 35 million iPhones and iTouches out there and countless other smartphones such as the BBs, Pres, etc. The UH should be out there reaching out to its fan base.

    Koakane,

    Just do a search on Oceanic TWC. After you install, it will ask you to register with your mobile phone number. They will then send you a password.

    I don’t think you need to be an Oceanic customer since all they know is your mobile number.

    Not sure if this available for other smartphones.

Yuk! j/k

    Thank you to ST and everyone for your warm good wishes. I give profound thanks and appreciation for everything I have, my health, my family and for every one of you “bona fide” Tsaikos whose love and friendship have enriched my life beyond my wildest expectations. You’re all very, very special to me. Getting an early start on my day…anticipating a wonderful birthday dinner hosted by Midori.

    Have a great day, too, EVERYBODY!!

    Greg Alexander – Continuous prayers for your speedy and complete recovery. MAHALO! for your hard work and dedication to the team and its goals.

    So, should the Warriors go after Shiloah Te’o? I know all the facts aren’t in yet concerning his dismissal from BYU after 2 honor code infractions, but the guy is a player. Maybe keeping him closer to home (under the watchful eye of his father) is what this kid needs to succeed both on and off the field.

  100. labrat October 7, 2009 8:40 am

    College football scheduling is confusing. Washington dropped and paid off BYU to add Eastern Washington to its future schedule. The reason was that the costs for scheduling non-BCS football subdivision teams have gotten too expensive. So they went with a team from the FCS.

    My question is didn’t Washington just schedule Hawaii?

His blood count has dropped dangerously low so very likely will be headed to the Mayo or hnl for transfusion and whatever else they gotta do to get him well!

In the middle of the night I heard a noise, woke up in a daze and since my room was dimly lit I just saw the edges of my shirt in the dark and scared myself thinking it was somebody standing there starring at me….needless to say, my maka’s bugged out of my face, that damn shirt!!!

    labrat,

    U-Dub just scheduled two D-IAA teams to get 2 home games instead of the home-and-home with BYU. So, they get an extra home game out of the deal.

    Recruiting trumps money and U-Dub wants to recruit in Hawaii, so they would rather play UH than BYU.

    The U.S. Navy Officers of Hawaii are celebrating the 234th birthday of the U.S. Navy on October 17th, 2009 at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. A limited number of tickets are available for this event. If you are interested in attending, please contact me off-blog at jboster(at)yahoo(dot)com for details. Cheers, SB

    CBS National columnist doesn’t think that either BSU or Cincinnati should be playing for the national title this year. There is already a growing anti-BSU sentiment according to what I’ve been reading, and BSU struggling against UC-Davis sure didn’t help their case.

    Do I believe Boise State and Cincinnati are good college football teams? Sure. They’re good, and they’re treated as such by being ranked in the top 10. That should be enough for both programs, but as the season rolls along and the victories pile up, it won’t be. Unless there are two dominant and undefeated BCS programs — say, 13-0 Florida after the SEC title game and 13-0 Texas after the Big 12 title game — bleeding hearts will clamor for 13-0 Boise State and/or 12-0 Cincinnati in the BCS title game at the Rose Bowl.

    Which is nonsense.

    To get to 5-0, Boise State has beaten five teams whose combined record is 7-16.

    Cincinnati has beaten five teams whose combined record is 8-15.

    I have a feeling that UH will show up w something to prove this weekend and will surprise Fresno with a very hard game and a win!

    mctruck — so how many bullet moth holes in the shirt now? 😯


  135. Garret October 7, 2009 9:26 am

    Fresno State is mentioned in this article because they played both teams. It is amazing that Fresno State was able to control the ball for almost 3/4 of the Cincinnati game and still lost. Hopefully UH’s D can stop Fresno State’s running game so that they cannot keep the ball away from UH’s O.

    Fresno State outgained Cincinnati by nearly 100 yards and held the ball for 44 of 60 minutes in a 28-20 loss. Against Boise, Fresno State was within a touchdown in the fourth quarter before falling 51-34.

    And Fresno State is 1-3.


  136. Garret October 7, 2009 9:27 am

    Boise State was beating UC Davis just 27-16 in the fourth quarter, and UC Davis is a 1-3 team from Division I-AA. Cincinnati was beating Miami-Ohio just 23-13 late in the third quarter, and not only does Miami-Ohio have an 0-5 record, it lost to Kentucky earlier this season 42-0.

    ahouse….mack did say in the past that he was wanting only one qb this recruit year coming. he has spain in the fold and i believe the manley offer is still negotiable. so, perhaps the visiting qb is one of them.

    if it is a third guy, then that opens the book to all kinds of speculation. however, i will defer that conversation with you until saturday.

    meanwhile, we need to find more linemen and db’s.

    Met someone at practice who is a big fan of the center.

    Richard Torres’ Dad was at practice watching his keed.

    I think the Princess is the hardest worker in the media crew. She was there before Stephen, or even Liz Chun. Good luck in the alumni game on Friday!

    Coach said they would practice without pads tomorrow morning.

    Here’s hoping that Alex Green gets some running time in the game on Saturday. One of his teammates asked him why he was walking so fast back to the locker room after practice. It’s obvious…he’s a running back!

    Hopefully Bryant Moniz is physically and mentally ready for this game. This game will be very pivotal to see whether Hawaii will be making another appearance in the Hawaii Bowl. They will need to right the ship with this game or else it might be a long season.

    Like I said before, we need to expect to win and it is not out of the realm of possibility that we make the Hawaii Bowl. Winning 5 out of the next 9 will be tough but we can definitely get it done. Let’s start the streak with a win against Fresnick on Saturday.

  340. SteveM October 7, 2009 12:37 pm

    jm2375 — sorry, maybe we have a semantic problem? I use the terms “posts” and “comments” from bloggers interchangably.

    The daily (usually) blog topics that ST posts are technically “blog entries”, although we sometimes refer to them as “ST’s new post” and “new blog”.

    In any event, 1,202 was the record of blogger posts/comments for a given blog entry. 🙂

    lakesidegt,

    Thanks for the information about the San Jose St. game. My sister in SJ is planning on going. Last time they ended up buying tickets in the middle of the SJSU crowd, yikes! I told her I’d introduce her to some of you (online, maybe thru FB) so she & her hubby can hang out w/ the Tsaikos. She used to work with JD during the Tomey days.

    Prayers for Mr. kymrykauai.

    BEEN DESTRUCTIVE ALONG COASTS NEAR THE EARTHQUAKE EPICENTER AND
    COULD ALSO BE A THREAT TO MORE DISTANT COASTS.

  391. Ralph October 7, 2009 2:16 pm

    Gary get well soon. Kymry, HNL would be less stressful to travel to for a transfusion. For a quicker recovery, I agree, we win and Gary will be bouncing around. But to be safe, tape the game, we win, show it to him, if not, delete.

    Wena will bring home the moola ST, Stretch and Whitey left behind as deposit for futureVegas expansion. What about the little keikis at school?

    got to go work now.


  405. Uce2 October 7, 2009 2:29 pm

    Rolo,

    Go get us another 30 year old man from a community college, please, to be next years QB.

    Trying to make QBs in your own image is always a good way to go. Ability should never be a deciding factor in these kinds of decisions.


  406. Ralph October 7, 2009 2:29 pm

    watching the S. Carolina vs Florida wvb game, close match, tall girls but none hitter harder than Kanani or Aneli.

    Tanks everyone for the birthday wishes….HappyBday’s to M/M C., and anybodyelse I missed….I’m a slow reader, sorry.

    SteveM,
    Eh?!, how you know I get puka-shirts?…I do have a pullover sweet shirt that is all tattered and looks like it’s been thru the wars, but it’s my favorite and very comfy, which I only wear when I’m indoors….sorta like a security blanket if you know what I mean.


  408. Loa October 7, 2009 2:30 pm

    Indeed, the center is excellente!

    Stevem ~ I know you had the blog boat crew store provisions for an emergency cruise. Too bad we had to cancel. We can still keep it tied up at the Cabana for rides around Ford island this weekend!


  430. Jason October 7, 2009 3:21 pm

    madeinhawaii: The blog doesn’t allow a lot of HTML, check out my Web site for a tutorial that shows which tags work.

    Your lurking is getting a little scary! 😈


  432. d1島 October 7, 2009 3:33 pm

    eh, a blog host with as many hits as the combined total of the entire blogs on this online newspublication needs to do whatever it takes to draw attention to the snub of last week.

    and…….

    the center is excellente!

    Sorry al I must have missed that. What was the snub? Stephen Tsai is the obvious, undisputed king of the Advertiser’s 250 million blogs…


  434. Kekoa October 7, 2009 3:34 pm

    Manoa Mist always conjures up a serene Valley scene in the pre-historic period of our island’s development…so meanwhile, the center is excellente!


  435. d1島 October 7, 2009 3:34 pm

    TYAiea,

    btw, I didn’t really get much chance to try out that charm. Hope da buggah work in Oregon, going try ’em out later this month!


  436. Colomaohana October 7, 2009 3:38 pm

    You know you are a Fresno St Football fan if…
    You have a relative living in your garage.
    Your neighbor has ever asked to borrow a quart of beer.
    You have rebuilt a carburetor while sitting on the commode.
    You’ve slow danced in the Waffle House.

    Lillo mo’ fo’ clock!

    YMI still here!


  444. Garret October 7, 2009 3:47 pm

    Al,

    If ST is trying to get hits on his blog to respond to the snub from management, this might not be the best way to punish them…by getting *more* hits on his blog, management gets to show they increased revenue. This could just make them want to keep snubbing him and enjoying the revenue increases…


  445. wafan October 7, 2009 3:47 pm

    A fine afternoon, all!

    The center is excellente!


  446. Garret October 7, 2009 3:49 pm

    Plus, management doesn’t tell ST about his blog hits or page views anymore, probably because they don’t want him to have the information when they have to negotiate with him.


  447. wafan October 7, 2009 3:49 pm

    Happy birthday to all the Libras!!!


  448. Garret October 7, 2009 3:50 pm

    Davone best has the highest completion percentage of *any* WR in the NFL! 80% is considered an elite WR level and Bess is at 83.3%!

    In four games, Grant has been targeted 11 times and has converted 8 of them, a success rate of 81.8%, with 0 drops. That makes him Green Bay’s only receiver that is above 80%, which is the benchmark for “elite-level” production. For instance, the leader in the NFL in completion percentage is Pittsburgh TE Heath Miller, at 88.9%. The top WR on the list is Miami’s Davone Bess at 83.3%.


  449. Garret October 7, 2009 3:51 pm

    best = Bess.


  450. wafan October 7, 2009 3:52 pm

    The HA “management” sounds like the “administration” at school. They must think we are mushrooms.


  451. Slugger October 7, 2009 3:52 pm

    I’m gonna have to breakout my Milwaukee Brewers cap! Closest cap I have to the Minnesota Twins. But, the Yankees took the first game today (CC Sabathia). At least I have a St. Louis cap. It’s like wearing my Oakland A’s visor to practice this morning, since I don’t have a UH one yet. At least the embroidery is green on white.

    An unrelated side note: If you want to use the French word for “many” or “much”, it’s ‘beaucoup’. (pronounciation: ‘bow’ like in bow ‘n arrow + ‘koo’ as in kootchie-kootchie-koo) Sorry, I took French in school.

    The center is excellente!


  452. wafan October 7, 2009 3:53 pm

    Dialated eyes suck. But, the center is excellente!


  453. Garret October 7, 2009 3:54 pm

    I didn’t see the Salt Lake Tribune article about Shiloh Te’o posted before. It is odd that the head coach had him go through Tuesday’s practice before kicking him off the team.

    BYU football player Shiloah Te’o, who was kicked off the team on Tuesday by head coach Bronco Mendenhall, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and two other traffic violations nearly six weeks ago, The Salt Lake Tribune has learned.

    Mendenhall said through BYU football spokesperson Brett Pyne that he was not made aware of Te’o’s legal troubles until late last Saturday night, around midnight. Mendenhall said after investigating the matter Sunday and Monday, he decided to boot Te’o off the team after Tuesday’s practice, a practice that included the participation of Te’o’.


  454. Garret October 7, 2009 3:56 pm

    The Salt Lake Tribune followed up with another article today after asking the coach about the dismissal. Shiloah had denied the DUI but someone text messaged the head coach Saturday night.

    “I received a text message this Saturday night, about midnight, that was saying he was cited, Shiloah Te’o was cited for a DUI on that same weekend [of the altercation]. That was the first I had ever considered that he was involved.

  462. Jason October 7, 2009 4:14 pm

    Hey, I’m poor, the Mathematical Association of America gives a free tote bag when you go to MathFest. Well, I guess ther cost is included in the registration fee, so it’s not really free. But it’s a nice tote bag.

    NYUH,
    ESPN360 is usually made available through your internet provider. It’s usually free with your internet service. Not everyone gets 360.

  488. Diogenes October 7, 2009 5:45 pm

    I did make the suggestion of boycotting The Warrior Beat for a couple of weeks and use our alternate sources. Maybe when hardly anyone goes on line at HA, they will realize that it is Mr. Tsai that is generating most of the hits. Maybe then they will show the love!

After last week, you’d think LaTech, as a much more physical team, would walk away with the game. But then, I don’t think Hawaii was playing more than 70% of their potential.

    some guy on the street outside the stadium was selling flags and bamboo poles.
    i already had a flag so i bought a pole for $1. i figured if i get it taken away, its $1 less i’d put into a slot machine.
    amazingly, the bag checkers didn’t say a thing. the information desk at which that i asked for directions didn’t say a thing.
    none of the ushers walking up to the seats said a thing.
    not sure how an usher down below us saw the flag.
    maybe a wsu fan walked down and complained because they had nothing else to do during that first half except watch us score and me wave the flag.


  540. Diogenes October 7, 2009 7:13 pm

    DUFFER passed this item to me but I think the Tsaikos deserve to see it and congratulate themselves as well.

    “WAILUKU – A Maui book club and local senior volunteers were among the voters who propelled Hawaii to win 50,000 new books from a national nonprofit.

    First Book, a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C., recently announced that Hawaii had won the third annual “What Book Got You Hooked?” campaign. The program runs once a year and asks readers to share their memories of the first book that made reading fun and to vote for a state to receive 50,000 new children’s books to be distributed to programs serving children in need.

    Online voters cast more than 90,000 votes to make Hawaii the top vote-getter.

    “Isn’t it wonderful? We’re such a little state. We’ve got heart though, and we did it,” said Rae Landes-Mizukami, a retired teacher and librarian who urged the 11 or so members in her book club to participate in the online voting.

    Readers were allowed to cast one vote per day.

    Landes-Mizukami said her book club membership has changed over the year and currently has about a dozen women from around the island. Members agree to read a book suggested by one person and then discuss it during their monthly meeting.

    “It’s really nice because you get exposed to something you might not read,” Landes-Mizukami said.

    She said she and fellow club members were pleased to see Hawaii rise through the ranks of states with most votes. At one point, the Aloha state ranked as low as 45, but over time, the number climbed as news about the campaign spread.

    The Kaunoa Retired & Senior Volunteer Program also reached dozens of volunteers plus family and friends to participate in “What Book Got You Hooked.” RSVP Director Dana Acosta said volunteers decided to actively participate after learning about the campaign during a TV news broadcast. “There are lots of volunteers who love to read and even volunteer to read to children,” she said.

    Acosta said Kaunoa was buzzing with people talking about the campaign and Hawaii’s rise to the top. “It’s really chicken skin that at a grass-roots level you can make a difference.”

    First Book will distribute the books in the coming months to programs across Hawaii serving predominantly children from low-income families.

    Between now and the distribution, programs that meet eligibility requirements can register with First Book to receive books.

    Information is available at http://www.firstbook.org/register. When the books are made available, registered recipient groups in Hawaii will receive an e-mail notification inviting them to apply for books.

    Although voting has concluded for the 2009 campaign, visitors to the “What Book Got You Hooked?” Web site can make a donation to provide brand-new books to children in need as well as share their favorite books and memories year round.

    When talking about BCS conferences, it should be pointed out that teams in BCS conferences that play in small stadiums (Washington State, Baylor, Colorada, etc.) have a LOT less money than those with big stadiums. There is a *huge* disparity even within conferences…and the difference in money really shows up in the facilities, recruiting, and on-field performance.

    What are 50,000-seaters? The schools with football stadiums of about that capacity — ISU (55,000), CU (53,750), KSU (50,000) and Baylor (50,000).

    Why does size matter?

    It’s all about money, and what a school can raise going forward in an economic era that appears to have changed fundamentally for the worse in athletics with budget cuts and declining donations.

    Maybe the simplest way to explain it is with a few numbers.

    Texas, the financial big dog of the Big 12 South Division, makes about $7 million for a home football game with its expansion to 101,000 seats. Nebraska, the North equivalent, makes about $4.5 million with its 85,000 seats.

    What do the 50,000-seaters get? About $1.2 million to $1.5 million.

    Multiply that differential by seven games a year, stretch that over four or five years and you can see why Texas has flat-screen TVs in its football complex bathrooms while other schools are happy to find soap and paper towels.


  553. Garret October 7, 2009 7:41 pm

    I knew that Texas made a minimum of $5 million before their latest stadium expansion (and latest ticket price increase), but I hadn’t realized that they were up to $7 million per home game now!

    When talking about how teams like Baylor make about $1.3 million per home game in their 50,000 seat stadium, we have to take into account that includes all concessions, parking, luxury boxes, advertising revenue, etc. UH doesn’t get the parking or concessions, Aloha Stadium doesn’t have luxury boxes, and UH doesn’t get any money from the big ads in the stadium.


  554. βρεω808 October 7, 2009 7:43 pm

    50k, 55k is “small”…. 😯


  555. Garret October 7, 2009 7:44 pm

    People here likes to lump BCS conference teams together, but the disparity between the richest BCS conference teams and others in their conference is shocking. Texas makes more than $80 million more than Iowa State and they are in the same conference!

    Remember, they share the conference TV contract and split the BCS TV money equally…and even without that there is an $80 million difference within the conference!

    Football and the television contracts signed because of it produce the majority of the money for all college athletics. As proof, check these 2007-08 fiscal year revenue totals:

    Texas: $120.3 million overall, $72.9 million football.

    Nebraska: $75.5 million overall, $49.1 million football.

    Kansas State: $48.2 million overall, $21.9 million football.

    Iowa State: $38.6 million overall, $17.4 million football.


  556. Garret October 7, 2009 7:45 pm

    How much can a team make from luxury seats? Kansas will make $40 million from their luxury seats! $40 million!

    Kansas, at 50,071 now, will build a 3,000-seat Gridiron Club luxury tower that is expected to produce $40 million in revenue.

    Brew808,

    And the difference in revenue between the Kibbie Dome and the Smurf Turf has been growing every year. BSU took their BCS money and built luxury seating in their football stadium, which brings in a lot of additional money for them every year.


  560. Garret October 7, 2009 7:53 pm

    Because of a certain less-than-stellar former UH AD, UH had to use the BCS money to balance the budget instead of use it in a way to bring in additional revenue.

    brew808,

    But the big money can come from luxury boxes, parking, concessions, and advertising…and UH gets basically none of that. I’ll bet that the other WAC teams keep their revenue instead of giving it to some Stadium Authority, so even though their stadiums are smaller they (except for Idaho, Utah State, and NMSU) may bring in comparable money with UH.

    I just looked it up and the estimate ticket revenue for FY09 for UH is $7,193,886. That is for all sports, and basketball and volleyball play a lot more home games than football. So, maybe half of that comes from football–if we estimate $3.5 million for football, then that comes out to $500,000 per home game.

    The key reasons why luxury boxes bring so much money for Universities:

    1. Companies use them for big clients or rewards to key employees.

    2. 80% of the luxury box fee is *tax deductible*. Companies can advertise that they support the local University while getting a huge tax write-off.

    3. The “required donations” to qualify for the luxury box purchase are 100% tax deductible.

    721?


  579. Garret October 7, 2009 8:31 pm

    People can buy the club seats and luxury suites, deduct 75% to 80% of the price, and then scalp the seats for huge profit. The University gets their money and people are happy to pay big money for seats in luxury suites…without knowing that the luxury suite owner is writing off 80% of his costs!

    Eighty percent of costs for the suites are tax deductible while 73-82 percent of the money spent on club seats is tax deductible.

    Kazz: you’re right about the humidity. Hey, they wanted to play earlier, so I hope it’s cookin’ at Aloha Stadium @ 5 on Saturday.

    Congratulations to Slugger!


  583. Garret October 7, 2009 8:36 pm

    It is sad that the regular people who buy a ticket do not get a tax deduction, but the rich folks who buy the luxury suites (and possibly scalp the seats to others) deduct almost the entire cost.


  584. Slugger October 7, 2009 8:42 pm

    Garret,

    Are the profit figures you’re posting for stadium/football revenues the gross dollar amounts? or is it the net profit? If those universities manage their own stadium facilties, you’d have to take into account the cost to manage, clean, & maintain the facilities which would reduce the overall take. Do you have a figure, even a percentage, that most facilities end up paying for the maintenance & management of the stadium?

    When people talk about the UH taking over Aloha Stadium, do we really know what the net profit is? How much money needs to be allocated for major maintenance? I don’t think there’s money in the University system to handle taking over the stadium.

    Wonder if they’ve finished painting? Did they get the safety issues addressed?

    But this we know…

    The center is excellente! Go Estes! GO WARRIORS!!!

  589. Garret October 7, 2009 8:46 pm

    Slugger,

    The $7 million per home game is reportedly *net* profit. Revenue is actually *much* higher than that per home game for Texas, but they maintain the stadium.

    The Tsaikos are muy excellente!


  595. Garret October 7, 2009 8:53 pm

    Some of the revenue sources:

    168 luxury suites, each bringing in between $50k and $100k, *plus* tickets for seats in the suites cost a lot of money! This is just for football luxury suites–their basketball arena and baseball stadium also have luxury suites.

    3 club seating areas (thousands of crazily priced seats)

    Some of the expenses

    About $262,000 will be spent in 2007 preparing, cleaning, maintaining and stocking the luxury suites for football, baseball and basketball. (Stocking the football coaches’ wives suite costs about $800 a game).

    Each home football game costs about $400,000 to host, a quarter of that for security, including $3,500 per game for bomb-sniffing dogs, an expense added since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks; and $682 a game for the Texas Ranger who shadows Brown. The $50,000-per-game cost of running the football scoreboard doesn’t include special programming; last year’s new Running of the Horns introduction cost $23,830.

  631. A-House October 7, 2009 9:41 pm

    Garret:

    As you know, the State of Hawaii owns Aloha Stadium which means any income from the sale of “luxury” box seats or “premium quality seats in an enclosed area” goes to the State. Those schools which own their stadiums get all the gravey!

    How can we change the current revenue “sharing” method of Aloha Stadium? I know that JD is really trying to secure changes, but with this tight economy, I cannot forsee the State giving up that kind of income.

    One way is to increase ticket sales and JD has implimented several ideas to get more ticket sales. Of course, if the Warriors had a perfect record with many 3-5 star local players, I can see the increased sales, but this is easier said then done.

    Should we contact our Legislators and make a concerted push to have more funds diverted to UHAD? After all, with UH playing, the State’s income must be well into the 6-figures for each game.

    Perhaps the most expensive is for UH to build it’s own stadium for football and other venues (rental for music groups, private parties, etc.).

    COMMENTS:

    Congratulations, Honolulu Advertiser- for realizing you are in the INFORMATION business and not just in the newsPAPER business.
    I especially enjoy The Warrior Beat blog and Leila Wai’s videos of UH Warrior sports- especially football. More than an online meeting place, Stephen Tsai’s unique blog has brought together hundreds of Warrior fans from all over the world as a realtime ohana and emphasizes support for the SUCCESS of UH Athletics. The live streaming Warrior Beat interactive interviews on Tuesdays is also a unique feature that I enjoy very much.
    This blog and it’s ohana have helped me become an active supporter of UH athletics and a season ticket holder even though I live on a neighbor island. It is a bright spot and a regular part of my daily activities.
    MAHALO!

    hey brew #666

    scary number but this came by way of the Deseret News in Ogden, UT

    “Fortunately for Weber State, help is on the way.

    Sophomore Ryan Eastman, a solid run-stuffer who’s been out of action since the Colorado State game, will be back in action against Eastern Washington. The timing couldn’t be better, as the Eagles boast a solid running back in Taiwan Jones, who rushed for 168 yards on 14 carries against Idaho State last week. He had a 96-yard touchdown run in that game, which was the fourth longest in Big Sky history.

    “Eastman will be a big boost for us,” McBride said. “He’s an all-league guy. He’s a hustler. He’s been a real good player for us.””

    GO WARRIORS,
    GO WILDCATS (X2)

  727. Slugger October 7, 2009 11:06 pm

    I just sent an email to mplatte@honoluluadvertiser.com who wrote that Opinion piece in the Sunday paper with the omission of the recognition that Stephen, and Leila, too, deserve for the Warrior Beat and the video interviews. His contact information is at the bottom of the article.


  728. Slugger October 7, 2009 11:11 pm

    Why were we trying to hit 721? I got it! But tell me…

    Ah, I have to go to bed if I’m going to make practice. As I told the Coach, I have to get my football fix at practice since I’m not making the game.

    Night all!


  729. al October 7, 2009 11:12 pm

    two things…..

    one, congrats slugger. btw, lots of us tsaikos wear an xl tshirt.
    two, lizk, yah i did read your comment that day and d1’s.
    three, gotta get serious about saturday’s tailgate. ah, what to bring/cook/etc.


  730. Slugger October 7, 2009 11:20 pm

    J,

    Check out my friend on FB, Kip Fulbeck, or the HapaProject. He’s at UC-Santa Barbara and he might be interested in your film. He does media/film, photography. Cool guy! And now he has a very cute little Hapa boy.

    al,

    I gave the t-shirt that I won from las vegas to MsLiz, cuz it was really large & I didn’t want to cut it up. The picture of las vegas as a sumotori (is that right?) is precious. I’ll have to see what Estes’ parents put together for this shirt.

    K, I really gotta go to bed… I want to go to practice. Maybe ST will remember to bring the t-shirts!


  731. al October 7, 2009 11:33 pm

    slugger….now you know that i was only fooling.


  732. SteveM October 7, 2009 11:35 pm

    Thanks, Slugger, I think I get the 721 reference from your post #729 when I found and read the article.

    I don’t think emailing him will do a lot of good except to flood out his box. Hmmm…. 👿

    This portion of the article caught me eye: “We are working on getting HonoluluAdvertiser.com to load faster and on a new design for easier navigation.”

    Right. So why did you adapt the slow-loading second-rate blogware in the first place? He’s not talking about blogs…. so why talk about the Warrior Beat?

    …OK, I’m still mad about the delays, timeouts, and lost posts when trying to upload/download the blog when using a satellite modem connection @ 75 cents a minute at sea….(never had those issues with the old blogware).

    –end of rant. It’s been an interesting but busy day. Good night everyone!

  734. iwonderwhytheyhateme October 8, 2009 1:20 am

    Garret,

    I do not know how or if the parking at Aloha Stadium is considered revenue. What I do know is that every single parking stall in the “reserved” section has been bought by UH.

    The parking rules, ADA stall set up etc comes with the ultimate approval of Jim Donovan.

    We had a problem at the last home game and I contacted the stadium authority and the assistant manager in hopes of solving the issue.

    The response was that although they wish they could help, UH purchased all of the reserved stalls and will allocate and configure them according to their own will.

    It may have been different in the past where that $3/5 fee was collected by the Authority, but currently I guess with the purchase of a parking pass etc, that money goes to UH.


  735. iwonderwhytheyhateme October 8, 2009 1:24 am

    Addition to #736,

    In a way you are still correct though, UH still had to purchase the stalls from the stadium.

    I guess when selling the passes they come out ahead and is a better situation than not getting any revenue from parking fees.


  736. bighilofan2 October 8, 2009 1:32 am

    hiya guys.

    Happy Birthday to W-Doc, McTruck, and the two Colomas!

    Congrats.


  737. RainbowCliff October 8, 2009 1:32 am

    Good morning Tsaiko Nation, It’s 3:34 am in the morning as I wake up from a deep sleep reading the remainder of posts that you folks wrote. Coming to this blog and meeting a majority of you has been the fulfilment of a dream that I wept on Center Court at Blaisdel arena in 1981 when I was introduce for the last time on my final senior basketball game as a “Rainbow Warrior”.

    As I stood there hearing thunderous applaudes with tears of appreciation running down my cheeks MY first thought was to ONE day come back to this WONDERFUL Island become SOMETHING that you folks could be proud of your former athletes and to “GIVE BACK” to the OHANA in which you GREAT folks have given me”SO MUCH MORE” !

    Coming October 28th that “SOMETHING” will be fulfilled as I cannot thank you good folks of Hawaii Nei enough as that moment will be a proud day as I did it the RIGHT way with hard work, UNBELIEVABLE DEDICATION, professionalism, task mastering and the MOST important part “Sharing the aloha to others so that they to can be enrich with the wonderful spirit as we gather together for the OHANA to share the TRUE meaning of “POLYNESIAN HOSPITALITY” !

    I am “SO PROUD” as I type before you a humble servant and an apprentice of his trade. Slugger: MAHALO for your congratulatory comments as I continue to ALWAYS represent you good folks of Hawaii with first class, dignity and respect.

    Brew 808: Your CLIFF script with all the happy smiles just completely blew me away kind sir as the CELEBRATION is on ! Can you print that and send it to me as it will start the decoration of my office with cards, notes of well wishes and ballons yet to come. The address is posted at #526. And by the way a family of two of my Wooten children will be getting me a box of “Cliff Bars”.

    Garret, my “human sports wire friend” you are ALWAYS there as our picture is together that we took in front of Kings Hawaiian with your autograph helmet as it is on my wall in my office. When my children come into my office and see our picture together they ask me “who is he”? and I reply “The GREATEST and SMARTEST gentlemen of ALL TIME !

    There reaction to that phrase is priceless as I get ask “WOW” can we meet him and my reply is “my children ONE day as they cheer and clap the anticipation of approval. Your the BEST Garret as the “Wizard of Westwood” does not have nothing on you.

    Finally Liz Kauai, the QUEEN of QUEENS ! You are such a WONDERFUL lady and PRIME TIME supporter to the Warrior
    football team. Meeting you is so MAJESTIC as the aura you have
    is enrich with so much intelligence, respect and love that you pour out as WE on this blog are better off in knowing you during this life time as I cannot thank you enough for your support towards me and kindness that you ALWAYS show ! Mahalo to you gracious lady of ALOHA !

    Finally Tsaiko Nation, 17 dedicated years is just 20 days away as I am so HUMBLE of this unique experience. Before I sign off I want to THANK ALL OF YOU for allowing me the opportunity to live among you and share the wealth of your Hawaiian Culture as I am so PROUD to be an alumnus from the University of Hawaii, an accomplish student athlete who played for the “Rainbow Warriors” got his DEGREE and did GREAT things with it !

    Mahalo Nui Loa FOREVER !


  738. bighilofan2 October 8, 2009 1:33 am

    whew, took forever to catch up. dat was A L O T of reading. 😀


  739. bighilofan2 October 8, 2009 1:37 am

    also, met a friend from Texas today. He is a long time Texas Tech fan.
    and he told me TT is down this year. and i was thinking about all the noise that was going on last year bout keeping their coach, the university president getting involved and taking over contract negotiations from the AD, the hullabaloo they were havingt there.

    and then i was thinking about the heat summa “us” is giving to Mack now,

    heck, dat man has a good heart. and he is a good coach. most excellente imho.

    bottom line: if we’re Warrior Nation peeps, we gotta say we’re Warrior Nation peeps. Period. End of story.

    http://www.uwdawgpound.com/2009/10/7/1075517/puppy-chow

    Recruitnicks ought not despair, as Washington is still in the running for some top high school offensive lineman. Expect a verbal commitment from at least one prospect later this month, while another target, Micah Hatchie from Hawaii, has set up a trip and will be here in December. Hatchie actually grades out slightly higher than Rowland, based the film we have seen and comments we have heard. UW is also looking at some JC talent to help the depth on both lines.

  751. Garret October 8, 2009 4:59 am

    A-House,

    Regarding your post #633 and iwonderwhy’s posts, the parking model could be extended to the stadium. iwonderwhy pointed out how UH did reserve certain parking areas in Aloha Stadium. UH pays for all the stalls and re-sells them at a premium. Aloha Stadium gets their money and UH makes some money–JD discussed this earlier about UH does make a decent amount this way. Of course, it would be nice if UH got all of the parking money…

    The Stadium Authority is in charge of the regular maintenance of the stadium, but they don’t seem interested in making big upgrades such as premium seating or luxury suites. So, what if UH made a deal about how *UH* would pay for certain upgrades of the stadium if UH got the money those club seats/luxury boxes made for UH events? The Stadium Authority would still get the upgrades to the stadium to make money on other events (concerts, etc.). The NFL *expects* luxury suites and premium seating in all stadiums and this is one reason why they will make far more money doing the Pro Bowl on the mainland than at Aloha Stadium. Luxury boxes could makes millions each Pro Bowl game.

    Of course UH would have to come up with the money for the upgrades. A club/premium seat section would probably come first because that is a lot cheaper to do, but money could eventually be fundraised for the luxury boxes too.
