Match day: Stanford
Because UC Irvine can’t stop winning, the volleyball Warriors probably need to win out to earn the regular-season title and No. 1 seed in the MPSF playoffs. The Warriors have four regular-season matches remaining, starting tonight against Stanford in the Stan Sheriff Center.
UH (16-2) and UCI (17-3) are in a virtual tie for first place, although the Anteaters hold the tie-breaker.
A side story to the UH-Stanford match is Spencer McLachlin, the Warriors’ assistant coach in charge of scouting and a former Cardinal player.
Stanford coach John Kosty on McLachlin: “Thank goodness he’s not playing. That would have been a whole different ball game if he were actually playing. I think it’s awesome Spencer has an opportunity to coach in the MPSF. He was a great player for us. He definitely was one of our X factors in our national championship in 2010. He was one of our unsung heroes. He was just a pillar when he was here. We wish him all the best this season, just not this weekend.”
“Butt”-ing in Foist!
GO VolleyBows!
Best wishes to #43.
Das one football player!
Has the Blog Host seen any famous hardware recently? 😯
Go Bows! Beat Stanford!
Akamai Okole:
I came close. I ate at Agu Ramen, which is next to the Saint Louis Clubhouse, which is affiliated with the high school where a quarterback attended before winning famous hardware, which is now on display at that high school.
I’ve seen the hardware in the past, at Alabama and USC. It’s my second favorite trophy (behind MTV’s Moon Man).
good luck this weekend against the cardinal volleybows!

Can’t wait to see UH/Stanford tonight, televised like before, imagine!
The volley ball matches by anybody on Queens Surf by the zoo.
Exciting games by nobody famous.
Fun to watch.
Those were the days.
Have you heard? Leahi & Leahi is stopping. pbs channel 11. K5 and KHNL, now it’s OCC16. I think it’s great. But, forgot who. Just the game was enough for me. No need hype it out for some. Truthfully. I hope UH men’s volleyball wins all last 4 games remaining in the year or season.
Depeche Mode, The Cure, New Order, The Ramones, Devo, Squeeze, Split Enz, Black Flag, David Lynch’s “Eraserhead”, David Lynch’s “Blue Velvet”, Morris Kleine-Brockhoff almost putting back a tip-in to upset BYU in the 1st round of the WAC tournament during Riley Wallace’s inaugural season, San Diego Padres over the Chicago Cubs after losing 13-0 in the first game, including a Rick Sutcliffe home run, Eddie Murphy as James Brown doing “Hot Tub” on SNL, Donruss 1984 baseball cards with the Glenn Braggs & Joey Meyers rookie cards, Riley Wallace booting Kleine-Brockhoff and Craig Murrray(I remember you, guys) off the team after the season was over, leering at the Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” display at the Pearl City Holiday Mart, and roast beef over spaghetti noodles at KC Drive In.
24 St Anthony: “goshdarnit” maybe as an alternative? Fo real? das one swear word? Used to hear alot when lived on Maui fo 12 yeahs! He!
Goshdarnit, Bows, Beat Those Cardinal!
Mention of the 60’s and 80’s, what happen to the 70’s? I am always amazed at all the old timers on this blog. You guys always get me going on the past and since it’s slow, let me reminisce and music always bring back memories.
My time started with Oliver Lee and his sit ins at Bachman Hall. Remember the dances at (I believe) Hemingway Hall. During the late 60’s / eary 70’s, you had disco’s and lounges like Hawaiian Hut, Hula Hut, Pt. After, Magic Mushroom, Tiki’s, Infinity, La Mancha, Capt. Nemo’s , Beef and Grog, Spats (little too high class for me), Toppe Ada Shoppe, Oar House.
Saw the great bands of Santana and Kenny Rankin at the Amphitheater when Ambercrombie was at UH.
Great local bands at the time like Kalapana, Country Comfort, Cecilio and Kapono. Many lesser bands that I cannot even remember but some were Liz Damon and the Orient Express (she was hot w/ the hit 1900 Yesterday), Linda Green and the Tempos (My Little Japanese Boy (I liked her too!!), Kasuals.
Used to have the Battle of the Bands with all the different High Schools so the talent used to be featured in the many clubs of the day. I can’t remember the group from Castle HS who were pretty good. You had Audie Kimura at Horatios, Sydette Sakauye who broke away from the Orient Express. Kalapana also had outstanding members who later performed individually like Mike Paulo.
We used to just hang out and eat at places like Cock’s Roost which had the cafeteria like place underneath (forgot the name).
Toooo many memories. Those were great times.
Don’t want to forget Kui Lee, great songwriter who died way too young. There were the young Cazimero’s, Surfers, Peter Moon. Different type of performers but great also.
Anybody besides me went to the Crater Festival? I had a tee shirt for the longest time but no longer have it. Many great bands and performers during a turbulent and psychedelic time. If I were to mention all the performers nation wide, I might be here all night.
gotta watch the bows.
7 p.m. SSC
I’ll be here tonight.
UH needs 4 from regular season play to see where they stand in national contention. I hope they’re that good as the rankings places them in. Go Warriors!

Sorry, I know it’s a sports blog but nobody is blogging and I’m doing this watching the bows.
#37 Yes I went to the first Crater Festival but can’t remember the year. Time has faded my memory. Hard getting old lol. I used to go the Queen’s Surf with my friends to drink and the entertainment. You could go to the beach and listen to the music in the main stage area that was open to the beach. Oly and Primo beer back then.
UH wins 25-17, 25,22, 26-24 over Stanford. 22-3 overall. 17-2 MPSF
whoa, those volleybows sure looking consistenly awesome now.
#41, Oldtimer, I believe you as you’re one of the old timers on this blog. Yeah, I can’t remember the year I went (memory is foggy). I thought I saw Santana there ( I saw him multiple times so not sure). I will paste a list compiled on another site but it’s not complete. I thought Santana, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin were there at the same time the year that I went.

1976
The 2-day Festival of Life (New Years Eve, Dec. 31,1975 to New Years Day Jan.1, 1976) was a celebration of America’s bicentennial. Promoters Polynesian Enterprises (Bob Kent and Steve Eastwood) in association with Calgary’s Fire Productions (Chris Dobbin, Anthony Gregory and Joel Margolis)chartered a DC8, painted it Red,White & Blue w/stars, of course, and flew the entire entourage {Sly Stone missed the flight and flew over later – Stevie Wonder had to cancel at the last minute) to Hawaii in what had to be one of the most infamous drunken, drug hazed flights since Joe Cocker’s Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour.
Note: Seals & Crofts abstained from such shenanigans as they were members of the Baha’i faith, good thing they weren’t seated next to Cheech & Chong’s entourage who lit up before the plane was aloft. All the major news stations were at the airport to shoot the arrival as local fans disbelieved that such a prestigious group of performers could be assembled for one festival.

5,708 at Stan Sheriff Center tonight.
If they get it up to 7,000, isn’t that like the Yuval Katz days? Too bad the season is ending. You have all the elements like good looks (Hartley, Fey, Averill, Sarcovic), emotion (Sedore), locals (Fey, Holt, Kanetake), good mix of local, national, and international mix and of course talent. Lot of seniors…gonna miss um next year.
I’m gonna be like Tiki and just post whatever. I’ll be a blog hog since it looks like everyone is out and about on a Friday nite.
What can we talk about? This is a sports blog but I need at least a 2 way conversation for that. How about Nehru jackets. Remember them? I remember having a black satin one with gold lace neck and wrist area trims that I wore a huge gold medallion on a huge gold chain. lol.
I actually need to get ready to go out myself.
Common peeps, need more bloggers.
Another thing, sad to see Benjy go but hope Ganot will be the caretaker of the program for a long time. We had some talent on the team that I want to see continue to develope especially Fleming. Lots of attitude but he is the best freshman that we’ve had in some time. Hope he stays.
Anyway, thanks Benjy for the well done job.
RE: #47
BigFan — your comments about being all alone on the blog brought back some memories of the night I felt alone on the blog and did a soliloquy…8 years ago… 🙂
The blog party above was Tsai-ko Blog Party 2 on February 20, 2007.
Click here to see photos.
A fun match. Congratulations to the MVB team!
Congrats to the volleyball Warriors!
Sure seemed like there was more than 6000 in attendance tonight. Should be a big crowd tomorrow.
“The only player who can stop Taylor Averill is Jennings Franciskovic.” – Charlie Wade
Big Fan #40~I knew Darleen at about that time. Gorgeous indeed.
papajoe, lucky you. Good to reminisce about days of our youth when you still look good, ha, ha.
I hope UH continues. What will they do if UH reaches the finals vs. UC Irvine? Make party at Stan Sheriff Center. For free & eats. It should be wild. Still too early yet.
NCAA HAS AND WILL ALWAYS CITE “EXPENSE” AS A REASON FOR NOT ALLOWING U.H. TO HOST MORE THAN ONE POST-SEASON GAME. BULLSH.
Great Morning All!
WTG VolleyBows!
BaseBows/SoftBows… 👿
3-Prong – Dat one is mad (evil, actually)
😈 Dat one is “twisted”
heheheh
Agu Ramen…Mmmmm
The Blog Host might wanna plan on lunch there again on April 30. 😉
Good article by FL today “Matlin’s salary set at $290K for 5 years” … it sounds like UH and the AD reached a fair agreement for compensation and retention as well.
‘The agreement says Matlin’s initial appointment is for five years and subject to “satisfactory annual performance each year.” Termination “will be for failure to earn satisfactory or better evaluation or for cause.” ‘
‘Termination compensation is three months salary during first two years of employment and six months thereafter.’
Great job UH Athletics in rolling out the supa-bazooka! But why does the EE to JJ side get most of the high end goodies … every single match? Looking at the seating chart, the SSC looks symmetric about the CC to F line. Maybe tonight though 🙂
I remember the Neylor Sisters at the Waikiki Sands.
And my uncle Lippy, and Uncle Lucky Luck; who married my aunties. Let us not forget Aunty Fern Kennison. They made the Club Pago Pago.
Boo #27 – Thanks for the memories. I think we the same age. Here’s some more memories from da 80s –
C&K Concerts at the Shell, Fast Stop, Circle K, Waikiki Theaters, Marina Theater, Cinerama Theater, Hauoli, Dai Ei, Full Serve Gas Stations, Al Noga, Walter Murray, DA Bears, etc.
Guud Morning Tsaikos…bootiful day.
Ahhh da Crater Festivals. One year, forget the year, we got to get in free the night before the festival. KPOI-FM put out a call for T-leaves and greenery needed for the stage area. We responded with a truck load and got to go in free.
Recollections?…only Richie Havens opening up with Here Comes the Sun and Freedom…then things get “hazy”…Talk about a “buzzing” day! Dat Spanada bong was cruel punishment!
Great win last night. Hana Hou!
IMUA WARRIORS!
Da 60’s was da bestest.
Get one Magic Mushroom event next month at the JCC.
Tiger disqualified..but made some precious memories…
A wise man once said.. “make memories, make memories”. hope he is well.
He’s disqualified?
I’m the guy listening to chamber music in the car but …
I did like the mellow music of Liz Damon and the Orient Express.
