good morning.

What’s a coach to do when his charges won’t make a tackle?

http://smartfootball.com/uncategorized/dick-lebeau-shows-you-how-to-form-tackle-sort-of

It is best to give the offers to walk-ons instead of making offers to recruits that still haven’t been offered to anyone. It is a great reward for upperclassmen walk-ons who have proven themselves on the team, plus that will provide the coaches with more scholarships to offer in the future since those walk-ons will finish their eligibility years before a high school recruit would.

It was a good attempt to get Fanaika and UH came *really* close to getting a SEC-level recruit. These coaches could win those recruiting battles in the future and it would be better for them to have more scholarships in future years than trying to find recruits who still don’t have offers for this year.

Eastern Carolina is pledged to support the alliance.

In February presidents and chancellors from 16 universities, including East Carolina, met to discuss future conference membership plans and agreed to work on forming a presidentially led intercollegiate athletics conference that would begin competition in the 2013-14 academic year. Participating universities include members of Conference USA and the Mountain West conference.

sha-wing for the fences. way to stay aggressive Sarah and Jessica.

d1shima,

I just saw your question from yesterday. UH does *not* benefit from a WAC team winning in the NCAA tournament, since UH isn’t getting any share of the WAC’s money for this year. UH gave up its WAC revenue for this year as part of leaving for the MWC.

UH doesn’t get any MWC basketball money either because UH is a football-only member.

For all of the conference agreements I’ve read about during realignment, schools joining a conference only get a share of the basketball revenue earned after they joined. So, it is quite feasible that UH won’t get any of the money that the Big West earns this year either.

After this year, UH fans should cheer hard for Big West teams in the tournament, since every win in the NCAA tournament means $1.44 mil more for the conference.

Mrs d1shima wanted to see The Descendants. I resisted.

…had no idea it was so arresting! 👿

see Somm above if you want to make a russian website.

Someone’s on a ROLL.

nice to see that in the end col. ahouse and mattyboy are gentlemen in that they haven’t gloated over the loss of a top recruit for us.

so perhaps we could do this at maple garden on tuesday (i heard you d1) at maple garden/yen king restaurant.

you boys okay with that day?

ST,

What kind of question is that.

The Avengers has TONY EFFIN STARK!!!!

Al,

😛

no can win against these super powers: mighty mouse, underdog, super chicken, and the mighty heroes.

al – Tuesday huh? Sounds good.

That was a good softball game last night. Another challenge tonight.

st…had lsu not jump in to the picture so late, i am sure fanaika would have been island bound.

okay no answer from ahouse and mattyboy.

but, its on.

1130

all invited.

rsvp on the blog.

cost about $15 with tip.

chinese buffet

ST,

If it were on an airplane I doubt they’d be showing Ironman.

ONCE I lucked out at they showed “The Pursuit of Happiness” which was really good. All the other times they feed you garbage like “Night at the Museum”.

Back in the day, many men would have preferred that Jeannie was all over them

al,

I’m in

d1shima, many boys too.

Hey al,

I’m here..just been busy with school!!! So..lunch you say???

i wonder what is there to cheer about at a sailing match? i’m ignorant when it comes to sailing.

ST: #26

You missed out on all the “dawns” we saw in the military – especially field training – saw the sun come up and go down and we were still training.

Only exception was in Hokkaido during annual training in January time frame – went to work in the dark and came home in the dark – 14 hour shifts.

sorry, al – jumped the gun reading your post before I went back to read more!

sure, 1130 hours it is! Mrs A-House may attend – depending if she will be in “town” that day. I will pay her fair share.

Be there Tuesday. Will share the burden of purchasing lunch for A-House and Matty Boy. Good job by the two for not gloating, like Al said.

Emma Peel & sidekick Mr. Steed, yup!

BTW, Wags is retiring as AD at KS-H….it’s going to be interesting to see who applies, hopefully it’s not a ‘done deal’ somewhere out there (nuff said).

Kevin, or Pomai, How you like the crowd last night, was it not just awesome. Who needs cheerleaders, the crowd were their own cheerleaders with “Let’s Go Bows!!!!”.

Hoping OcSports decides to change their TV schedule and televise the San Jose St. games. That way the whole State can watch these magnificent girls play. No other UH team in town. Baseball and Volleyball teams are travelling.

Al,

Shucks! Looks like I won’t be able to attend Tuesdays luncheon. Got school all day along with two tests back to back! Would’ve love to have gone and personally meet you! Maybe another time ah?

players were pushed to the limit early this morning. trash cans were set up all around ching field in case any of the players needed to throw up. they’re definitely working hard, and it ain’t even spring ball yet.

I go check.

wait…I no mo pool! 😈

AL – my favorite Chinese restaurant but I have to go elsewhere with She Who Must be Obeyed.

Howzit everyone.

jkj, like

🙂

Koakane, you sure right about that strike zone.

Will Kaia pitch tonight? I thought I heard that she was going back to Australia to tryout for their national team. If so, will Stephanie pitch or do we have someone else? I know softball pitching doesn’t wear on the arm as much as baseball because the pitch is the natural movement of the arm, but at one time last night, I thought she had thrown over 160 pitches and the game wasn’t even over yet.

Misery Tigers

mattyboy…raincheck for you is fine.

i am really happy for richard torres if he does go to udub.

but, methinks there are some underlying motives regarding his north shore connections.

Torres certainly has Football DNA – coaching and playing! His Pops told me that Richard would like to continue playing somewhere before he starts his coaching career. Love to see that, betcha he could play some arena ball somehwere at least! Best of luck to him, how ever things play out.

Papajoe2, Stephanie Ricketts will be pitching against Texas A & M, and Winthrop. Kaia, Lauren, and their mom left for Australia this morning. Kaia, will be back Friday morning, her sister will be back a little sooner, I believe. They will be going back, for their grandma’s funeral, on Monday. Kaia has a tryout with the Australian National team starting Tuesday.

al,

Looks like you’ve got an old school, good old fahioned, high bio-mass, feeding frenzy type cattle call going for tuesday. Hope the owners of MG/YK are ready for the crush of xxx large, hungry apex predators!

Gonna be frightening and filling! Gonna be epic! I’m in!

Just don’t make me sit next the masters of chopstick food snatching. They know who they are.

homey,

I’ll bring the book. BTW – Did you have a chance to see John Carter of Mars yet? Pretty cool in the new 3-D format…

neyeneeate

Boom!

don’t know if was mentioned already, but was reading this mornings, Dallas Mornings News, that Anthony Carter was cut/released by the Toronto Raptors.

Steve, I will be at lunch with al, will you?

mctruck

I believe he said in a recent SA article that his intentions was to play a year or two more and then retire and coach. He said Coach Karl at Denver has said he will give him a shot at it. He also said being the elder player on the Raptors roster has given him a chance to start his coaching career while still playing ball.

….don’t give a d4m ’bout the whole State of Michigan,

I’m from O-hi-o.

😯

Congratulations to Wahine for great game and Win over No. 1 ranked California yesterday especially to Jessica Iwata on walk off Home-run after given up a go-ahead run on her error. A great come back and recovery. As I was watching Jessica at bat under my breath and saying just hit one over and she did just that was Amazing indeed.

Heanderson was in control and held the Wahine to one hit and 16 KO says a great pitcher that she is.

But our Ricketts was all guts time after time, innings after innings stranding runners on base and never giving up.

Way to go Wahine!

Not having great success with my March NCAA Bracket

My South and West is all messed up.

Especially thanks to Missouri knocked off my final 4 selection.

But I was watching Norfolk State and just like the Wahine never giving up

Coming back time after time even with all the offensive calls by the Ref against them.

great picture of the 2012 UH football coaching staff

Oh my!

Wow, Duke just got knocked off!

Coach Gib just has to get the kids to believe and play hard, anything can happen. There are those young men out there who are not going to the “name” schools who can just flat out play ball.

UH offers Waianae’s DT, Kennedy Tulimasealii a scholarship. 6-1, 285.

Thanks to Sportsbow.

Go Warriors !!!

I think #(15) Norfolk State warped many brackets galore.

Way to go Norfolk a new Cinderella Team.

Have a great weekend ye all

Stephanie Rickett’s is designated to pitch in four games in the Chevron Tournment.

She is looking at pitching 31 innings in 5 days. Stephanie is at the halfway mark.

That feat could come close to throwing 700-750 pitches….

a true Iron Lady.

This is some really good information, myself have a squidoo lens, check it out!

… 49ers interested in Peyton Manning ? …

” The San Francisco 49ers have emerged as a late contender in the Peyton Manning sweepstakes on Friday, according to an ESPN report.

According to ESPN, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman watched Manning throw at Duke on Tuesday night. They were impressed enough to send the team doctor to Duke the next day to conduct a physical on Manning.

The Niners, who have been working diligently to extend quarterback Alex Smith’s contract, could be a sleeper team to sign Manning, who is planning to conduct a private workout for Broncos brass on Friday. ”

At last, a mere #12 knocking off a #5. 😉

ST… speaking of Dawn…

During my senior year of high school, some of us found ourselves on Waikiki beach one weekend, just cruising along, walking on the sand.

One of my friends sees this cute girl up near the surfboards, talking with this big, muscle-bound dude. He turns to us and says, “Eh, I know that chick!”

About 30 yards away, he starts yelling, “Dawn! Eh, Dawn! What’s up?”

The muscle guy turns around and yells back, “Eh, howzit, Bruddah! Whoa, long time!!!”

We look at our friend and bust out laughing hysterically. “You know Dawn? That wasn’t Dawn. But did you know Don? Hahaha!”

To this day, some 30-something years later, he still gets razzed about it.

GO BASEBOWS!

GO SOFTBOWS!

Prayers and positive thoughts for Kal and Barbara. Good thing they are able to do something to fix the problem!

4th error so far for the BaseB 🙁 ws

Rocky night in the Quarry so far.

VolleyBows still hanging on, 1-2

The Wahine Softball Team fell flat on their collective faces against Texas A&M. They played worse then they did against Texas. Feel sorry for Stephanie Ricketts, not getting any support from the team. The Wahine made the Texas A&M pitcher look like an elite pitcher, which she is not. Right now the Wahine Softball Team does not deserve to be ranked. The loss to Texas A&M makes the California victory look like it was just a fluke.

Texas A&M gave the Wahine their lone run, via a walk, the Wahine did not earn it. If you watch the Wahine batters they are all swinging from their heals, all trying to hit a home run. Whereas, the opposing hitters are just trying to make contact. One reason why the opposing teams have outhit the Wahine, the last few games, and the difference in hits is not even close.

Coincidental that exactly 5 years ago on the blog, we were discussing cruise ships (as mobile full size football fields) and Bulla recapping the first Camellia Cattle Call. See my comment #65 today regarding his first cruise. Anyway, here’s some post-Cattle Call silliness from back then…

Comment from: bulla [Visitor]

to all the Camellia Carnivores,

we are going to take the video camera with us next time so there is no question as to the activities that took place. i think we can mount that camera on uncle Al’s head, but we’d get too dizzy from the up and down motion….and that was only on the first course of the day, haha.

the lady didn’t bump into me, she bounced into me from Kid’s side of the room, kind of like a pinball machine, and Kid and I were the flippers…wait a minute, i thought that Camellias was dolphin safe, gotta check on that….and true, Joe did eat the papa’a meat, but that could have been a flashback from his small kids dayz with bb buns, geckos and a hibachi….yummy.

it was a fun day, i think we’re on the most wanted to not come back list for the day manager, but it wasn’t me pushing the vegetables through the burner.

and Kid, Al, StevenM got their top plate on the grill changed 3 times to our 1 time….move volume on that side of the table…..easy tiger, don’t start swimming over here just yet.

next time we go guys, can StevenM pick us up in a 24 pax van so we can fit in better with the rest of the crowd….haha

Comment from: SteveM [Visitor]

…

I only have a 7-pax van so I figure can hold 6 if we squeeze and one is the small guy, Al in the middle seats. bulla cannot sit in the front because the window rolls down and his arms can reach out. 🙂 But cannot hold more than 4 until I get the suspension raised and reinforced.

Yeah, 24 pax van should hold around 12 plus driver…who has one?

#164. Don’t sweat the little things. Steve being Steve that’s all. Seen it before, will see it again from him.

We are behind you all the way! GO WAHINE!

When you back the players, you also back the coaches, which would mean, that all of you still believe Dana and Mac should still be coaching their teams.

If it was not for Stephanie, or Kaia, this team would be in big trouble.

All tonite’s Softball game did was so every that the Wahine are pretenders not contenders, no matter how well Stephanie pitched. I do feel truly sorry for Stephanie.

Howzit SteveM

No one else is around tonight?

GMA ~ I came over as soon as you called. So what do I find? The same ‘fan’ turning on the SoftBows! Shoots, that’s just him throwing his usual hissy fit. Funny, nobody can figure out where his true allegiance resides. Is he for the women or not? Dunno!

I guess all we can do is Leave him alone. Some of what he has might get on you if you get too close.

Gotta run, more important poker game going on right now. Let him stew in his lonely little softbow world.

(((Hugs)))For our Ladies of the Diamond. Win or Lose, we still stand with you 100%. Come back strong tomorrow and play your best. That’s all I ever ask of you.

Hi there, just became aware of your weblog thru Google, and found that it is truly informative. I am gonna be careful for brussels. I will appreciate if you happen to proceed this in future. Lots of other folks might be benefited out of your writing. Cheers!

Woah this blog is wonderful i love reading your articles. Keep up the good paintings! You already know, many people are looking round for this information, you can aid them greatly.

Texas A&M is the last ranked team the Wahine will play. They had a chance to make a really BIG statement, but they failed to do so. Looks like only one team from the WAC will make the NCAA Tournament, Fresno St. and BYU, are somewhat down this year.

Reading SteveM’s throw back posts reminds me of the good days that was on this blog. Now because of a few kill joy people or maybe he’s all of the same, its hard to enjoy something that was so good. Rasu, Koamahu, use to post some funny stuff and it really was enjoyable. What I’m trying to say is Steve, stay off the blog. You’re not wanted here.

Geez chill out Steve losses happen whether to a ranked team or not ranked. It is not the end of their season for losing to the “last” ranked team. Stephanie was mentally tired and the team missed Parnabe. I think it’s difficult to get up two nights in a row especially after throwing over a 160 pitches. Coach Coolen will get this corrected. Pretty easy to be an arm chair quarterback so let the coaches coach and just support the team win or lose. Life goes on so chill out.

Stretch, and for that matter cocobean, I have a choice, at sporting events, be it softball, baseball, basketball, or football, I rather stand.

As for the girls, I still back them, just do not care to much for Coolen and his philosophy of playing one dimentional offense, which is the long ball. No team has ever won a National Championship that way. You win National Championships with Pitching, Defense, and doing the little things like, bunting, and getting timely hitting. Thought he had changed his ways, cause the girls were doing that during their 21 game win streak, but somehow, it is back to the same thing, which is long ball.

oldtimer808, I have nothing against Stephanie, she pitched her heart out, again, and will against Winthrop. Just that Coolen’s philosophy of the long ball, will get in her way again.

Nice jm2375…good bunch of guys who played with guts in 4 and 5 tonight. Too bad about the end….we need to get a new generation of VB refs.
