Glanville on ‘Bama forfeit: “We’ll take it”
As part of NCAA sanctions, Alabama must forfeit unspecified victories in 2005, 2006, and 2007.
It appears one of the overturned outcomes would be the Tide’s season-opening victory over UH in 2006.
“Without question, we’ll take it,” said Portland State head coach Jerry Glanville, who was the Warriors’ defensive coordinator that year. “Once we get the official word, I’m going to throw a parade.”
* * *
On Mouse Davis’ retirement, Glanville said: “He got married. He got married at Christmastime in Las Vegas. (Davis’ retirement is) all about love.”

Congratulations, M.R.C. Greenwood, and welcome to the University of Hawai‘i.
To help you get started, here are a few tips:
• Become a fan of UH athletics. That’s something every UH leader eventually learns is a necessary part of the job. Every leader needs to be heard, and the sports arena is the best forum. Here’s the math: the two O‘ahu daily newspapers and four major television stations have a combined 20 reporters covering UH sports but only two covering the UH Board of Regents regularly.
• Make friends with the Legislature. The lawmakers control the money, and the UH system needs money. But when you visit, go alone. You’re not Vincent Chase.
• Your first public speech should include an apology. For what? It doesn’t matter. Every new hire has done something controversial that has drawn criticism. Just apologize to those who might have been offended, even if you don’t think you did anything wrong. Hawai‘i embraces humble newcomers (see the Colt Brennan and Davone Bess stories).
• Ask athletic department administrative assistants Erika Buder-Nakasone and Jeannie Lee for advice. They created a calendar listing the birthdays of every athletic department employee and coach. Everybody enjoys a birthday greeting.
• Get to know the custodians. They are some of the most interesting people. In the athletic department, they are parent of a football player, an important figure in the hula world, a once famed long-distance runner, and so forth.
• And one favor: forgive the athletic department’s revolving deficit. In theory, the money already has been paid off; I mean, the electricity is still on and the athletes are getting scholarships. Now wipe it from the books. (And after that, if a deficit is incurred, then slap around the AD.) Besides, UH benefits from the extra parking revenue generated from on-campus sporting events and sales of H apparel. Uncle isn’t wearing an H hat because he really likes the engineering program.

Welcome back, Dave Austin.
The father of quarterback Shane Austin attended Punahou School as a freshman and sophomore before moving to California. But he made enough close friends at Punahou that he decided to attend the Punahou class of 1969’s 40th reunion dinner last night. Shane also attended the dinner.

Big Wave reports that former UH defensive end/running back Korey Reynolds will play for East Carolina this year.
auright
Top 5 from Kauai!
Funny post Stephen!
Possible scenario: If Alexander falters or is injured, Shane Austen is propelled to 1st string starter.
ST
Terrific advise!
ST: I love the tips! You should repeat in your blog for the next 30 days…..maybe at least ONE will stick…

on top of that, don’t forget to thank Gov. Lingle for the immediate pay cut once you start the job. . . .
but we all welcome you to UH with WIDE open arms.
Coloma:
I just like the new prez’s name.
MR C. It reminds me of your hubby.
ST-
that is sage advice from someone who knows a thing or 2 about the UH system. BTW- you mentioned 6 BCS Bowl games yesterday, but i can only come up with 5- Rose, Orange, Sugar, Fiesta and Nat’l Champ. Am i missing one?
Jun Tao:
LOL!!!
The news last night said the new UH Prez’s first name is Marcy. Is that true, or did they just assume M.R.C. sounds like Marcy?
Jack Flash:
You’re right. My bad. Only five BCS games, including national championship.
I guess I must have counted the Hawai‘i Bowl.
Oh, I thought M.R.C. Greenwood was a DB.
Re: “Marcy”
OK, new amendment: you need to tell us your real name.
Can she rap?
Should we have a contest?

Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂
I couldn’t sleep last night, so I watched a Law & Order episode I DVR’d. There was a hospital worker who was leaking medical information. They referred to him as a “Lab rat.”
But wasn’t nearly as interesting as our “labrat” who posts here.
I thought ST’s post was tongue-in-cheek until I checked the front page of the HA site.
Congrats to M.R.C. Greenwood, I guess. She’ll have a lot on her plate when she takes the job.
OK, off to UH to watch the unsupervised workouts.
Alexander said they’re doing 7-on-7s today.
I just finished an hour-long phone interview.
Which one do you prefer, phone interview or face-to-face?
layson — you got nothing better to do than track wie’s losing? get a life man
“You’re not Vincent Chase…” Haha! Very nice, ST…”Doing Business Local Style 101.” I like it!
MRC? Howzabout as in Mercy. As in showin’ mercy to the UH Athletics Department and forgivin’ that debt as Mr. Tsai suggests…
In any case this semi-indigenous person welcomes you, Mizz Greenwood! 😉
P.S. – Agree 100% with you about the custodians. I always thought Myrna Perry was one of the most interesting characters at the Athletic Department.
btw….was i the only one who remembered lc greenwood of the iron curtain. apparently no one else picked up on tsai’s “joke”.
will alabama forfeit the UH game from last year?
8-6 baybee!
no wait, we played florida………the alabama game was in my dreams

Al san,
you the only one old enuff to remember
Re: 24
At least she’s at 2 under instead of plus 13, right? But then again there’s still plenty of time left in the tournament…
al,
Played golf with LC back in the day on Molokai. Stretch is waaaay betta! 🙂
Where’s the non-fed gov’t workers?
oh yeah, enjoying the holiday
No Al, we all picked up on that one. And yes Powder Puff, Mrs. Perry always was quite colorful.
WOW oh WOW, our good neighbor ST is turning to philosophical energy and “sage” advisor (she doesn’t know it yet) to our new UH President – welcome on board Pres Greenwood!
al:
I remember the steel curtain with LC Greenwood – who were the running backs? one was in Viet Nam with a local oriental guy who always volunteered to be their “point man” on patrols because, in his mind, it was the safest place to be. the other was a ‘bullish” of a fullback.
layson16:
I for one appreciate the updates on Michelle Wie cause I cannot watch TV during work hours.
I know its on the Golf Channel, but gotta work to feed the family!
okay….so some of you were paying attention.
so, without googling….who were the front four of the fabled steel curtain?
and who strapped it up with ahouse in nam?

Looking out at the Honolulu harbor lights is something I want to see
Reading comments, here, that harbor a one way of thinking is not for me
Below the smooth surfaces of the ships the water runs deep
(people who disagree with me) bending, here, run together like sheep
In the ship’s path comes a destination
Not being with the status quo, here, brings condemnation
A depository of happiness on my face subsides
When I see anchored people not wanting to change with the tides.
…for you, Manti, good luck
Good morning Tsaikos! Happy King Kamehameha Day.

Good ting one of ’em graduated before UH started playing them…Which one?
ST ~ Perhaps you should email Marci Greenwood a link to your blog for your Hints & Tips.
Besides the custodians at the university I worked at, the physical plant/facilities guys were always good to know.
Hold the phone on the whole welcoming the new president thingy! I did some investigative journalism (Googled her) and found this little tidbit:
*GASP* Favortism??? Nooooo!!!
On second thought, she’ll fit right in with Hawaii’s lawmakers.
ST IS ON FIRE AS OF LATE!!!

Better talk to Uncle Stretch about dat one.

Who participated in the tests, you ask?
Why… slugs, of course!
Get those shallow bottom dishes for plastic planting pots and fill with beer. The next morning you will have tons of dead or really drunk slugs.

ST- mahalo for Tsai-ko-fying our new UH President! While I had my doubts because of past history, her connection with Chancellor Hinshaw must be noted… AND… if President Greenwood READS and HEEDS the very practical advice above, I will forget the past and have reason to feel VERY GOOD about the future of UH!
HIHO!
Dirty Commish- that info you posted was my concern from the beginning of her application. But if she comes with a Brennan/Bess attitude and works hard for UH, I believe the creative/effective qualities will vindicate her hire and diminish the importance of thr past.
Yeah! Wat LizK sed….twice! 😉
(39) The attempt to put an intellectual lei of words around a subject does not increase its gravitas.
roysan16, I always considered you, and still am, a level headed and fairminded individual. I’m a little surprised about your doggedness about Manti.
Nobody condemned you, the majority just disagreed. But you are condemning the majority, isn’t it just a little obsessive?
Minor Recruitment Cronyism?
when I went to UH the ASUH PRES was K.Mark.. 25 years the ASUH PRES is Mark K.
Sage advise from our Tsai-Meister, I hope she heads it.
I really would like to know what’s really going on with that weird Goddess web-site. Real or prank? Either way, worth a thought.
Florida Ted,
I guess BLOOD really runs deep…
(Just an assumption)
Good morning, gang! And welcome to M R C Greenwood!
Saw this from WSN:
Nothing against Alabama, as their visiting fans have been good people and I hope we’ll have a home and home with them again in the future, BUT… I must say this is refreshing.
Personally I think this is good for college football. It sets an example, one that has been almost ignored up until recently (i.e. USC’s issues).
Far too long, the powerful and wealthy in collegiate athletics have been given a LONG leash to walk on. The NCAA SHOULD continue to use the “choke chain”!
Mei Ling,
Long ago on the Big Island, we used to love throwing table salt on all the slugs on the walls…made them fall and …..
D1- Merlin Olsen? Utah State?
If blood is involved why not just say so? Everyone would understand.
so since Alabama has to surrender wins, does that technically mean the 2006 Warriors went 12-2?
hey hey tsaiko’s…just making my monthly appearance…
so anyone else got cars covered in salt from the gigantic waves rolling in this week?…geez killing me…paying a visit to the drive thru car wash after work…
las vegas:
right toe – it was Rocky Blier – and Franco Harris was the other running back!!
IIRC, Rocky, in an article, did credit “pineapple” for saving his life several times while on patrol.
d1:
how did you get from Ptittsburg Steelers to the LA Rams, those hated Rams who had many good games against the best – 49ers!!!
my room mate at Atherton YMCA went to officer training with Merlin and he said Merlin passed out when he had to inject himself with Atrophine to combat the nerve gas they were exposed to – that’s realistic training!
JJ can now say he has a BCS road win and the team has back to back 12 win seasons
If the teams that originally lost to ‘Bama during those years actually benefitted from this injunction by the NCAA, I don’t think it would mean much of anything for us.
It’s just a “garbage” win.
Now, say if Georgia was penalized for the same thing and forced to relinquish wins from lets say the 07 and 08 years… then I’d be licking my chops…. 😆
Pride:
duffer is correct – it was Merlin Olsen who played for Utah State.
Yes… and we’ll all take that as seriously as when JJ said that the 2007 Sugar Bowl season was BIGGER than statehood for Hawaii.
🙄
Mei Ling..
problem with salt is that a lot of it can get into the ground and that may not be to the liking of your plants.. BEER on the other hand, safer and at worse you will have singing cats and crooning dogs.
BUT if salt is your weapon of choice, the crude, granular variety used to clean dishwashers seems to be the recommended choice.
Geez, I would not mind going back to Alabama for a “home ‘n home” football series – I was there in 1970 for military training at a USAF base.
A-House,
Not sure, the mind wanders in mysterious ways. 😉
Kazz,
If the happened to Georgia, we wouldn’t have a win record to break. We can still go 14 – 0! What other teams in Div I have a 14 win season?
I had a dream last night that Jim Donovan announced Alabama is coming back to play at Aloha Stadium. When I woke up I heard the news of Bama’s probation.. Could I have gotten a prophetic dream?
Reported in LV Review-Journal today….. for those of you who followed Keith back in the day… wish him quick recovery.
http://www.lvrj.com/sports/47761837.html
Wasn’t Alabama penalized just a few years ago, as well?
Howzit pride.! You are correct. (as stated by A-House)
blockquote>BUT if salt is your weapon of choice, the crude, granular variety used to clean dishwashers seems to be the recommended choice.Maybe da guys who was making laulau with da wrong kine salt still get leftovah!
Wow! Messed that one up….must be the early start today trowing me off! Bettah go luuk fo’ fuud…..
I wonder if homey taking orders today?
Notice that Alabama says the student-athletes “improperly” obtained textbooks worth approximately $40,000 when in effect they stole from the school.
Best wishes to Coach Uperesa.
Re #40 – Jay, Vincent Chase is the main dude on the HBO Series “Entourage.” SUPER funny show — even for women. Well, I think it’s funny.
El Guapo,
It is the beauty of the interent. IF blood or personal relations are involved with someone in the spotlight of discussion, personal friends or relatives will not make their connection known with said “person of topic”
This could be in an attempt to further that person’s image to allow others to believe people outside of personal relations will also view’s that person in an equally exhalted way.
Mo like da kine advahtyzing yeah?
Any recommendations out there for a nice townside – anywhere between Kahala and Kalihi – sports bar with great food, a friendly atmosphere, and lots of BIG television sets for Sunday’s NBA playoff game?
Re the new UH president: I refer to her Initials Greenwood and will most likely not use her name at all if I ever meet her. Do the Yes Ma’am/No Ma`am thing if necessary.
The situation reminds me of the woman who headed the Neighborhood Commission office early in the Hannemann Administration whose first name was pronounced Baby – I could not bring myself to call any grown woman Baby. We also had a cat named Baby Girl who died in 2002 – and all I could think of was Baby Girl whenever I saw the woman – although they didn’t look at all alike.
We’re in the process of renewing our Wahine volleyball tickets and will be asking for better seats below the concourse aisle opposite the teams. Anyone interested in putting together a Tsai-ko Supporters Team?
True, but how would if effect the 2008 Sugar Bowl?
Would we exchange trophies with Georgia?
Nah,
Who cares about “winning” the Sugar Bowl in that fashion. The damage was already done on a national perspective of UH football. 🙁
mih,
The first beer I tried here was Bud Lite & I got 10 slugs in 2 days. No luck with leftover beeru from a bar we frequent. So, I gotta go BUY beer. Hard try stay natural wid dis stuffs. SteveM to the rescue…we going commissary.
Since women’s basketball games are open seating, we could have instant Tsaiko cheering sections if we all just met up at the game & sat together. Kazz & Chawan, you guys seem to be the ones I see most. We should sit behind the team bench.
Kazz,
The thing is that no one thinks any less of Manti. No one took shots at him, most just said they preferred a Warrior. It’s seems like an irrational response from a normally very rational person.
Prayers out for coach Uperesa.
El Guapo,
Agreed.
Pro Football Weekly reports that the Bears expect Pisa to earn the starting job soon.
(Some unnamed tabloid) is doing a series on the Top 100 UH Football players. Pretty safe bet that Colt would be number one but who would be in the top 5.
1. Colt Brennan
2. Jason Elam
3. Jesse Sapolu
4. June Jones
5. Timmy Chang
Could this Warrior recruit end up in pro baseball instead?
Hitman,
JJ wouldn’t make my top players list. It is hard to leave any players out, but I’d definitely take JJ out of that top 5 and probably Timmy Chang too…I’d replace them with Niko Noga, Al Noga, Samson Satele–wait, I’m already over the list for a top 5 because Colt, Elam, and Sapolu have to be on it too and I still have others to add!
Garret,
44th round pick? Not sure Brackenridge would take it.
Word on the street is one of the panelist picked Niko Noga No. 1; another picked Jason Elam.
Kazz,
This one I’ll respond to. … Whatever you’re saying is a microsom of the ills of this blog and your way of thinking. If for a second you think I’m writing with having biases or trying to write to impress (the other parties) you’re … (wrong). How many time have I gone against the grain, and allude to … seeing things without taking personal preferences?
In my opinion there is a big difference between putting Manti down and saying that I would prefer to hear about from a Warrior player because there are so few spots available on the WB show for Warrior players. Is it unreasonable to want to hear about how the offseason workouts are going from a player since the coaches cannot tell us about them because they cannot be there? There are a lot of worthy guests for the WB show but there are only a limited number of spots, so is it wrong to look at things with a bias towards the Warriors?
That is just my opinion and I respect that others might feel differently. That is the last I’ll say about this issue no matter what else is said.
In Birmingham they love their fooball (Bear,Bear,Bear)

Samson Satele
Pisa Tinoisamoa
John Woodcock
Levi Stanley
Jeris White
Hitman:
I agree with Garret. June Jones did very little during his playing days at UH. I would, however, include Timmy Chang on my list.
I would also consider Colt, Jesse, Al Noga, Jeris White, and Jason Elam.
I would be most interested in reviewing the list as it will, undoubtedly, go back to the Wonder years of the 20’s and 30s.
All that aside, I marvel at UH’s progress in football given the number of years versus other established schools on the mainland such as Army/Navy who have played each other for over 100 years! Wonder how many schools are over 80 years?
My list of top 5:
Colt
Elam
Sapolu
Tuinei
Al Noga
Big Wave,
dey u go! 😆
ST:
I would accept the 2006 loss at Alabama as a win. IMHO, they were lucky to have “won” that game.
Imagine the silence if UH had actually won that day! The Crimson Tide would not believe what they witnessed.
I guess it depends on what the criteria was. Is it based upon their accomplishments while at school? If so, then June and even Jesse would be out.
Since it’s a state holiday — one of only a few we actually get at the Tizer — I’m editing out personal attacks in posts.
Happy Kamehameha Day Tasi-kos and Tsai-kettes…hope those that have the day off are enjoying themselves…
Due a glitch (big technical term) I lost my link to the Tsai-ko calendar. Can soembody send it to me? I need to check a couple of dates…
Thanks and don’t work too hard…
What’s a state holiday?
Eh, what am I complaining about… After spending a week at our temporary location I realized that Colomaohana HAS IT MADE HERE!!!!
Mwhahahahahahahahahahaha!!! 😆
Seriously, I’m gonna miss this place in about a week or so… then it’s back to talking to people and playing “dress-up” again! 😆
Today’s lesson: Just because you think you’re right, it doesn’t mean that someone else is wrong.
So let’s all debate nicely today.

Sailor Blue,
Here ya go: http://home (dot) roadrunner (dot) com/~smurashi/tsai-kos/
Not sure who were the best, but these are my five favorites (in no particular order):
Niko Noga
Colt Brennan
Michael Carter
Matt Harding
Nate Ilaoa
Harding? I just liked the idea that there was a possibility he would block a kick.
Plus, he was the one who came up with the line after the Holiday Bowl victory: “Their mouths wrote a check their butts couldn’t cash.”
As for playing Illinois, Harding said: “If you’re scared, buy a dog.”
Then again, I liked how Al Noga once said he was from “Planet Kalihi.”
Wasn’t that from Top Gun?
Oh wait, was it “Your ego is writing checks your body can’t cash?”
“You don’t own that plane the taxpayers do!”
“Take me to bed or lose me forever.”
AHHHHHHHH I gotta pop in that DVD tonight. That entire movie was soooooo dang quotable…
“Maverick, you just did an incredibly brave thing. What you should have done was land your plane! You don’t own that plane, the tax payers do! Son, your ego is writing checks your body can’t cash. You’ve been busted, you lost your qualifications as section leader three times, put in hack twice by me, with a history of high speed passes over five air control towers, and one admiral’s daughter!”
Slider: Goose who’s butt did you kiss to get in here anyway?
Goose: The list is long, but distinguished.
YES!!! Tsai, I don’t care what everyone else is saying about you… you’re ok in my book.
I feel the need… the need, for speeeeeed!
Iceman: You! You are still dangerous… you can be my wingman any time.
Maverick: Bull***t… you can be mine.
Just because it might serve as a bad precedence, I agree all posts with personal attacks should be edited. Instead of saying, “his (kazz’s)#85 opinions are …. guess it’s better to be conformed and sterilized and say, “his opinions I don’t agree with”. All right, will do..in fact I’ll just repel what they say by not giving them the grounds in which to say anything.
wafan,

roysan16:
It doesn’t heighten your arguments to digress to name-calling. If somebody doesn’t agree with you, they’re not “narrow-minded.” If many people don’t agree with you, they’re not “sheep.”
C’mon, you’ve been posting long enough to know I only give people a certain amount of rope.
So play nicely, and I’ll make sure everyone else does, too.
Goose: Great Balls of Fire!
I was watching an old game from the 90’s.
There was a commercial for KHNL’s showing of TOP GUN. At the end it said “with Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis”.. Immediately after the camera panned the sidelines and showed OLineman Kelly McGill
Re: Manti.
With the logistical restrictions we face — lunchtime slot on Tuesdays, locked into a downtown studio — it’s difficult to book guests. We also have to make sure the guest actually shows up, on time, especially since we’ve got to free up about four staff workers.
So when it was offered that I wouldn’t have to book a guest, I’m like, cool. But then Manti was never asked, so it came back to me to find a guest. That’s when I hunted down Malcolm Lane.
Nobody is getting paid to do the show, and it doesn’t appear we’re making any effort to sell ads for it, so I think the show is merely a complement to the blog.
And that was the deal on the Manti situation.

I didn’t mean to single out folks the past couple of weeks.
But, if anything, I’m supposed to be monitoring content. And while everyone makes great points, sometimes the message is lost — or ignored — because of hostile asides.
There was one poster whose comments I’d just skip over, and, it was a shame, because it appeared he would make some interesting points. But because the poster was driving away others, or into silence, I had to step in, and I really, really don’t like to step in.
Is is pau hana time yet? I think we all need a beer….
Ah, I’ll have one for each and every one of you…
You’re welcome.
….but of course, all the guys thought Maverick was “way cool” (you can bring that one back, too, Stephen) right up until he showed his throwing motion off the back of the carrier. 👿
Family ties:
Colt McCoy, QB, Texas, was die hard UH “green ‘n white” while growing up as Dad was an Olineman in the mid-70s. Uniforms, white helmet with surfing warrior with fire on heels, etc.
Yet, when the longhorns called, green and white bit da dust! So much for ties to UH.

A-House – #134, did not know there was a connection there
I thought it was interesting that Pacific Business News reported that most Hawai‘i stocks went up today … during a state holiday.
Gee, don’t tell that to furlough-happy administrators.
Of course, Loa! Only because you asked, of course…hehehehehe…
Stephen – good stuff, i hope the incoming prez reads the blog
my life can described as in a “throwing gutter balls” state of mind.
because I am in a “throwing gutter balls” state of mind, I do NOT drone endlessly about a high school football player.
because I am in a “throwing gutter balls” state of mind, I do NOT invite others to drone endlessly about a high school football player.
me, I’m just trying to improve my life so that I do NOT “throw any more gutter balls”.
Can we put the players of that 1923 Fighting Deans team that beat Oregon 7-0 into that list of top 100?
#138 – oh,oh, there’s that “f” word again, good thing state holiday today
Yup, ST, they sure are….We no mo’ dis holiday off anymore….
Stephen – how was the uw’s today?
Loa:
They were hilarious. Mainly because the gate was close. So the players had to scale the 15-foot fence to get onto Cooke/Ching field. Needless to say, the linemen couldn’t do blocking drills today.
I’ve got photos, but I can’t find the connection cord to upload them.
141-nice one kazz,
any more attempts aside from your retaliation in #85 is bemusing
141 – I ain’t kazz.
ST:
your #136 – linemen could have done drills on the old grass field? or is all the equip on Cooke Field?
A-House,
Colt McCoy went to camps that Texas put on for years, grew up watching Texas games, and his best friend (Shipley, the WR he’s been throwing so many passes to at Texas) committed to Texas the year before him. His family gets to watch all of his games in person, which would not be possible if he played out of state since his Dad is quite busy being a high school football coach in Texas.
Do you really think that Colt would have gone to *any* school other than Texas? He committed so early (once they offered, in the Spring of his Junior Year). His parents are both from Texas, and both graduated from Abilene Christian University. Colt’s Dad (Brad) played football for Abilene Christian University and Colt’s Grandfather (Burl) is in the Abilene Christian University Hall of Fame.
Click on my name for a link to the Abilene Christian University website that states that Colt’s Dad played for ACU and not UH. When was Colt McCoy a UH fan?
so Cooke/Ching field got furloughed today
To whomever,
In fact keep goading me
you know I have 5 fouls so you’d be happy to see me get the sixth, right?
Mrs C:
U & Kazz have the same employer? Hope your hours are different from him.
ST,
Why would they lock out the UH players? That type of thing hurt the team, especially when they prevent the OL from doing blocking drills!
Garret – plus the original Colt was here
Not that it matters, but we had to activate the tracker, so everyone is pretty much who they say they are.
But enough cross-griping.
It’s a holiday.
A-House:
The grass fields are locked, too.
Garret:
They lock Cooke/Ching at night. Since today is a state holiday, nobody opened the field.
And because it’s unsupervised workouts, they can’t call up anybody to get the key.
The AP article state that Bama’s wins will be “vacated” instead of “forfeited”. Has that been changed so UH gets the “w”?
ST,
I guess that makes sense…I just wish that they had thought of this in advance and someone could have unlocked the field in the morning. Is there a way for a trusted player to get a key?
sheesh, they should give you a key since you there everyday anyway
By the way, I’ve officially declared a cease fire.
Next hold-me-back comment gets the delete button.
Re: Vacate.
I guess that means that UH would have to go to the “Lost and Found” and claim the victory.
Which side of the fence were the photos taken from??
Colomaohana,
No be shame!!! No hiding anymore!
Just got back from lunch and SHEESH!!! Even da lunchroom is da bomb!!! The garden burger was good today!
That doesn’t stop a lot of people.
Once, after a baseball game I saw this girl, a student, throw her backpack over the fence off Lower Campus Road and then she climbed the fence to take a few laps around the track.
Not exactly discreet.
Or you’ll see some students playing frisbee on the soccer grass fields at night and then hopping the fence afterwards.
👿
Bad news about Hawthorne on the Advertiser breaking news section. I hope that he has a full recovery in time for camp because as RGM found out the NFL doesn’t wait for players to heal.
Kazz – Garden Burger was good today!! you on a diet or what?
Report from Today’s Washington practice has bad news for both Colt and Daniel.
Had some interesting spectators today, including the CEO of Young Brothers.
Roysan16,
Just don’t react, take a break from the blog do somethng else. They only come out if you react, ignore and it will go away…
Diet? HA! No way. I think they were using Boca patties and they taste like meat. It either that or the burrito… and I had Taco Bell last night so yeah…
Garret, I think A-House meant Greg McElroy Jr. who is a QB at Alabama. Greg Sr. was an offensive guard for the Rainbows back in 1977-1978. He eventually became an executive for the Dallas Cowboys. I’m not sure if he is still there.
Wichmann in fourth place after 4 events….Javelin, long jump and 800 m tomorrow…good luck Annett
Kaufmann and Sheppard in high jump finals on Friday…good luck to them and coach James…
ST
Can I have Scott Morifuji’s email address,
Haven’t talked to him in years.
Hope he remembers me.
You forgot about Laupepa Letuli Ralph.
Good to see and hear Kaufman, Sheppard, and Wichtmann getting some props on the sports reports last night on KITV and KGMB.
How about the next time they get locked out they go to the front on Bachman Lawn and do drills there?
I’m sure they’d have no problems shooing away the ultimate frisbee players…
Pepa’s leap was amazing considering his weight…great explosion to do a standing jump over the rail…
#181.
Excuse me, I meant “Wichmann”.
Dirty Commish,
I think the impromptu volleyball game out there would be in the way too yeah? 😉
Kazz:
Ah, just consider it an agility drill when you gotta duck under the net!
im guessing alot of you left Walter Murray out because of the dropped pass against BYU??? 🙂
Freddie Hemphill was a good DB too…think he played with coach Miano, and the Kafentzis brothers
Travis Sims
Mark Odom
Dana McLemore
Theo Adams
Ron Hall
Casey Ortiz
Ron “Da Mongoose” Pacheco
Garret & Pride:
thanks for keeping me to the straight and narrow path – I knew it was a QB and the Dad played for UH – put down wrong Mc – IF McElroy did come to UH and Dad was with the Dallas Cowboys, wonder how much “drag” some Tsaikos would have in touring, for free, their stadium ( only when the wind not blowing )?

So let’s all debate nicely today.

#176 by pride is a good example of how to correct someone without resorting to name calling and other derrogatory innuendos and remarks. After all, we all make mistakes. If we didn’t, we wouldn’t be human.
How about QB. Richard Mamiya?
las vegas and duffer…you guys got it right. that only proves one thing, you guys are also old.

Dear Dr. Greenwood,
My sentiments on you becoming the next UH President. On your shoulders bares the hopes and dreams of many, as you are their leader, guidance and visionary. Looking up towards you are the wanting eyes of the administrators, faculty and student yearning to be led in the right direction.
Navigating your path where everybody has a voice and no one entity has preferential treatment would be wise steps.
But the giant steps are in reservation, as they are for everlasting in dormancy, are the ones I want you to take. For no other UH President thinks of suppressing the influences of the political machine and local people in lieu of what might be a better way of doing things. And this ground needs to be broken if we expect to move in a better direction.

You missed a fun-filled day:
– we reminisced about old movies;
– talked about old Warriors;
– re-discovered old ways of increasing public accessibility;
– took a look at the ways of running the Good Ole Boyz Athletic programs;
– and got a good ole-fashioned butt-chewing from the Blog Host.
heheheh
Hey, DPK stole my Tsai shrine! 😉
Not that I have ill wishes against Alabama, but too bad this didn’t include a postseason ban again. It would be nice to bring them back here like we did before.
Hiya!
BigWave96744- I got the mag from JJ’s today. Niiice! Just flipped thru but will read laters.
ST- Thanks for editing today. I wish someone would edit ExtremeSkins. I finally had to call someone out when he called Colt a rapist and complained to the staff who pretty much said it was a stupid statement but didn’t break any rules.
sheesh.
But I can see the smu button coming soon if the same person now attacking me personally continues down that path…
oops Wichmann drops to 8th place after her 200m run and all the scores for the day were tallied…she was first in the shot put…on Friday she can finish first in the javelin….good luck…

and the brother is one tsaiko and its best singer on top of that.
ask him what’s his secret.
well, i’ve been on a trek all day to the north shore.
whew. it sure got hot in here today.
glad things have cooled down. meanwhile, i’ll be camping out on the north shore for awhile.
of course we stopped to refuel at giovanni’s shrimp shack. amazing how they still have this line all day long. i guess at 13 bucks for a plate of a dozen jumbo shrimp scampi with rice is worth it.
so many imitators out here as well.
i bet giovanni has a mansion somewhere tucked in the hills.
what i am trying to say is, eh, no get mad. if you do or are starting to get hot under the collar just go find someting to eat or at least talk about some good food. then, all is forgotten.

Hawaii/Idaho
off topic….
sorry. because it bothers me.
in may 800+ folks caved in to foreclosures. these were monumental numbers for our state.
what, if anything, is government doing to help bailout the real people in the trenches who struggle daily to make ends meet?
one official wants to reach even higher numbers in the future with mandatory 3day furloughs or plainly put 36 days without pay approximately a month and a half without income.
And you didn’t even stop by to say, “Hi.” tsk tsk
actually went via the windward side.
Hmmmm….
Eh, you can check out North Shore Fan
NYUH,
Hawaii/Idaho in one day? Apparently not done geographically
Lucky for m-homey on vacation… no mo water in Mililani.
No water? That could get interesting if it goes on for too long.

Also found “ABBA-CADABRA”. But they are dark that week.
I think I know where all of the heat went. It is in my lab at school — 89-degrees today (inside), 70-degrees in the hall, 74-degrees outdoors.
It is a virtual sauna.Students need to learn about deodorants rather than dousing themselves in colognes — unless the guys want to smell pretty. HA!. Hard to breathe either way! Ugh.
orlando needs to practice their free throws
Liz, Jeanine was pretty good. I hope she makes it pretty far in the competition. The crash dummies were interesting.
wafan:
Bwahahahahaha!!!!!
Seriously, I guess you can’t open any windows in your lab? Speaking of which, isn’t the academic school year coming to an end up your side?
i got water in Mililani
CRW . . .
Another 6 more wake ups to go.
And, no. The windows do not open. All I can do is prop open my external door and the hall door. Drives the H-VAC people crazy because it throws the system out of whack. Huh? I can throw it out of whack even more? Maybe it will go so far it be correct — eventually. Maybe. HA!
See you on Aloha Friday!
Re-JoPierre Davis
This item was included two blogs ago:
Defensive back JoPierre Davis, who is on suspension following his March arrest on assault charges, worked out yesterday. He remains on scholarship and is allowed to attend classes, but he is not on the team’s 120-player active roster.
And I was wondering, like maybe others, of what’s going on here. I googled, checked newspaper archives in seeing if there was a nearing court date and I didn’t find any. Without a court appearance, seemingly, his status will always be in limbo. Ninety some days before the season JPD is holding onto the hope he’ll be exonerated soon as the reason as to why I see him working out. I also spotted him working out by himself at Cartwright Field. I observed him practicing in a DB stance, crouching low and doing back peddling drills.
Initially when I read the newspaper articles I was convinced there was no hope he’d ever be playing again because seemingly the charges against him were so egregious that he wouldn’t escape being incarcerated. But then after reading additional information there might be a chance for him.
Yes, JPD is definitely guilty of some indiscretions. But if you were on the jury on this case–you’d have to admit that the assailant and victim don’t fit the stereotypes. And it’s not an easy case to judge. Because there’d be a lot of conflicts: she said this, and he said that– after a dorm party where there may or may not have been the presence of alcohol or other drugs..
One, JPD doesn’t fit the profile of a brutalizing, rapist and assailant as befitting of one facing the charges that he does. On the first encounter, she resisted his advances and told him to leave. And he complied. On a second encounter, he laughed at her, she threw coffee at him. Yet he didn’t retaliate. On the third encounter he touched her, she slapped him and he punched her.
Of the victim, she doesn’t fit the portrayal as someone attacked. And admittedly, she was embarrassed as the reasoning she gave as to why she didn’t report the assault earlier. This is plausible. But it doesn’t fit, for it seems her motives are in line of retaliating against JPD by pressing charges for him mocking her.
Having gone to school and been with college girls after parties, I can relate to how men often have the tables turn on them on the morning after when the happy girl the night before looks down, now, at you like a snake.
In the JoPierre case I hope he has a fair trial and if he’s exonerated I hope he’s spared being penalized, too, and missing out on the football season.
Medical Update: Mrs. Koakane knee surgery went well yesterday. A little physical therapy start-up was the order of the day. KK is at her side right now, keeping her spirits up. No word of her anticipated release date yet.
That’s good news about Mrs. KK

did McDonald get his calling today in the mlb draft?
Brew and Ralph, mahalo for asking. And once again, Big Mahalo for everyones’ positive thoughts throughout.
He is doing okay for now. He has temporary diabetes from the steroids they gave him in the hospital; it should be gone in about a month, when that therapy is over.
A learning experience, as we had none in the way of needles and insulin shots; and I’ve worked out a system so that I can pretty much do what I want, when not playing Nurse Cindy.
I am glad I left my job last week so that I can take care of things. : ) Mahalo!
Ralph: No Rainbows were drafted today. Disappointed that Landon Hernandez didn’t get drafted.
Cindy: We’re praying for Greg at our church.
😀
Good news about Mrs. Koakane. Mahalo Kekoa.
Howzit Pomai! Good to see you posting. 🙂
Keep it up Cindy. Good to hear Greg is getting better.
‘evening Brew 😀
Roysan- #231,
Very thought provoking. I was also under the impression that JPD was pretty much done at this point. I hope he gets a fair trial and either gets exonerated, or gets whats coming to him.
Nighty night all!

which one is a mahimahi?
Huh? …oh… that was a joke made in Hawaii…. 😀
Brew,
No, just playing a hunch that it might turn into a Tsaiko Tsentral of some kind. Plus, never been there and found a good room rate so thought I’d check it out.
Oh…. so you must have wheels?….. Buddy! 😀
Long week…one more day to go.

Before I depart for the night, I like to thank your helping words. It’s reminiscent of the kind of thing that I do ,too, in helping someone else that’s in hot water. Kind wishes to you.
Nurse Cindy…hmmm…that has a nice ring to it. Greg must be thrilled to see you coming at him with that needle! Hehehe! Take care of each other, and good nite.
roysan16 ~ Your defense of JPD is timely. He is in a very gray area right now. I was just curious, about your interest in his case.
Is it because you feel that he’s wasting a schollie that could have been put to better use?…or…Do you feel like he just needs a chance to clear all the ‘opala’ in his life and come back to reclaim his rightful place on the team?
what’s the latest on any new asst coaches for wbb and mvbb?
is Dana on the time sheet already or is she on it in August….CW is here but not on the payroll until July
what’s the latest on shawna lei-kuehu enrolling at manoa this fall?
what’s the lastest on vicki taglicod enrolling at manoa this fall?
that would compensate for any missed opportunities in wbb recruiting. it would also set the tone for the future of wbb.
wait a minute, CW already hired Kuo, he must be on the payroll….
Rob is charlie on the payroll?
ralph…i believe that they both will be on payroll as soon as possible as per the contract particulars. regardless, they are both already deeply entrenched in their responsibilities as new coaches. pay or no pay.
they should use these nonpay days for future furloughs.
Men’s volleyball associate coach position is still open until June 15. Associate and assistant coach positions for women’s basketball are open until June 18.
i wonder if the twin wants to return from Idaho should the sister enroll at UH?
when does CW’s contract expire or terminate at Pacific?
Dana is a CC employee, I thought she’d be working there until there is a new hire
i think shaena should stay in idaho and make her legacy known there.
i am sure cw is no longer under contract. that is the proper thing to do.
he needs to tie off the loose ends regarding his move and stuff from california. if i am not mistaken, i think tsai said that this career begins june 15th.
no one at HA covers wbb….Mike is at the City desk….
so ralph are you gonna finally sing on saturday?
My favorite 5 to watch.

all of the assistant coaches contracts at wbb expired this month, no one to answer questions….HC not around…anyone wants to ask the MMK 🙂
Kekoa,
..gees, I’m slumbering off to oblivion and soon to be counting sheep just like I do when I’m here on the blog…oh, oh…that didn’t sound nice..har, har,…anyway, I’ll get back to your question tomorrow
no but I’m going to eat!
Hiya!
Great news about Mrs. Koakane and Mr. Cindy -Greg!
d1- when driving with Brew808… well, have a good navigator…. Bwahahaha!
Speaking of Brew- she’s bad news. eh? HF bad news or someone who might work the problems?
i am sure that wbb has been assigned.
too bad mike can’t return to sports. i liked his style, bringing an intellectual side to things.
oh, i am not saying that he was the only intellect on the sports staff or in his family. just saying how he brought a different perspective to things that were out of the realm of normalcy in sports reporting.
I hope Hawthorne heals quickly, tough to be a practice squad member and keep a spot while injured.
labrat….that is a nice collection of tough guys.
wilbert haslip….wow. you could just see him playing this out each time he brought in to the secondary.
“run em over or juke em out of his shorts??? choices, choices….”
back in the very old days…..
two pony backs that i recall watching with awe were….
nolan george and alvin yamashiro.
both were no bigger than homey but boy were they exciting to watch.
Al Wilbert was also a really good blocker. Too bad he hurt his knee.
Harold “six toe” Tsujimoto
Al do you remember Angel Velez?
no

:-O Does this mean that ST isn’t “normal”?
Hey, congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Mouse Davis!!! Never too late for marital bliss!
no. that means that st is normal and mike not.
Hmm… after nearly 28,000 cases worldwide (198 in Hawaii) the swine flu is now declared a pandemic. Though it is classified as a mild illness with a mortality rate of about 1/2 of 1 percent.
and yet influenza a has killed 35k in the usa last year and no one panics.
how about kealoha pilares for chat guest?
i am sure that the twins would participate in the live audience.
if the twenty or so early offers would all commit today, we would have an outstanding class.
heard tell that there are more than the 20 offers that are being reported publicly on the table. heard tell there are a couple of commits but no one wants to publish otherwise others will try to swoop in on our finds.
ok….299
Al ~ The check is in your mail…
300
and Kekoa swoops in for the #300 post……
Wow- 300+ posts pretty steady during offseason…
Nitey Nite and Sweet Warrior Dreams!
what check?
Al ~ Now that we broke 300…
How about “Sgt. Napu’unoa” da pint sized KS QB? I think he was 5”6″ at the time. Sometimes he was on the KS bus from upper campus down thru Prep School to the school st. terminal after school. He was a senior, I was in 7th grade. I was bigger than him!
Charlie Arnold was his fullback, Mike Chun on the end. Those guys were great players! I believe Kama Krab is family to Charlie.
Al ~ I meant to say go check your mail…I know, in this economy – any kine check in da mail is a welcome surprise!
Al I don’t see how not publicizing the commits to UH will help their future recruitment…I would think once one signs on the others will not hesitate to commit…SMU has 10. BYU 13. Most of the Pac 10 teams have at least 6 except Oregon State with 1…Huskies are in double figures, and the Cougars have a few…poaching will occur but all the teams coming to Hawaii already know who the players are that they want
CRW ~ My days of ‘swooping’ are long past! Whenever I manage to slip into a lucky slot, it’s with a considerable amount of huffing and puffing! 🙄
Not surprised to hear that the new UH President’s home on the hill is awaiting renovation. It seems like every time a contract is awarded, the winning contractor is delayed while the loser files a complaint.
Maybe she can make that her first project. Put a stop to these ridiculous work stoppages so people will just learn to accept defeat and move to improve their offer for the next bid.
Hi, Kekoa,
Thanks for the update on Mrs. KK.
Night all.
Kekoa its the people who write the specs and award the contracts, too much incompetence and political collusion…remember when the UH softball stadium was first built and the fans couldn’t see the field around home plate, and the State had to fill in the stadium with 3 feet of sod
I can see the 2009 NBA champions, LA Lakers.
watching the North Koreans march in a parade on CNN, I’m wondering how many of them end up with shin splints
kekoa…..wasn’t sarge a running back? a fast, shifty one at that. i remember as a youth watching that ks team. sam harris and no forget the other end was mike chun.
i seem to recall a lincoln who also played during those days.
others in the day?
mel wise, punahou
mike shea, roosevelt
ralph…..#314 mwahahahahahaha…your best one ever!
remember the st. louis school’s version of the four horsemen
mike vasconcellos

howard peralta
ben ronquillo
Yes, you are correct AL. He was the other back. It was Earl Dye who was the Homey sized QB. Jeez…the brain cells are disappearing so quickly!
A pleasant Aloha Friday everyone!
If you do not already proudly display your American flag better find it, dust it off, and get ready to let it wave in the breeze! Remember what it represents and for what it stands –
Just a heads-up — this Sunday is Flag Day. Heck, this whole month is Flag Month.
Whoo-hoo!!!

I see that the OIA is pushing its weight around again in the HHSAA.
It seems that the other leagues would prefer to maintain the inclusive approach to state tournaments. Perhaps rather than voting en masse to reduce tourney size, the OIA should simply elect to send fewer representatives.
Brew,
Nah, still da 10% Kona stuff. 😉
Annoddah early one today.
HiHo…
Texas really does a great job with focusing their camps to achieve certain goals. Last weekend they had a camp for their commits, so that they could bond and help keep each other committed. That is a great strategy to defeat poaching, as committed players can contact other commits with no NCAA restrictions.
They also brought in 5 players who don’t have offers yet, to see how well they would bond with the coaches and the commits. They brought in one player with an offer who hasn’t committed to anyone yet (top WR recruit who has a final 5 of Texas, OU, USC, Texas Tech, and OK State). They didn’t offer that recruit’s two friends and Oklahoma and Texas Tech have…so they probably won’t get him.
This weekend they are having a camp for the top 2011 recruits. The camp gives the coaches even more time with the recruits than the Junior Days, so this is a huge recruiting weekend for 2011. Forming the bonds early with recruits and getting the evaluations done as early as possible has been the key to getting an early jump on recruiting each year.
Not only are camps effective, but recruits pay their own way to them so they really save on the recruiting budget. I hope that Mac and Tony Tuioti are able to get ahead in recruiting for local recruits by the use of camps and Junior Days. Get some recruits early, let the commits recruit future teammates and help fight off poachers, and then UH won’t have to worry about new about commits leaking out.
“new about” should be “news about”
Two Washington State freshmen have been suspended due to their recent arrests…I wonder if they will play against UH this season?

Whoa! Call out the National Guard, hide all the women and children! Alert the Washington State Troopers (I like their drill sgt. hats!). Call the JPO’s…wait no, school is out for the summer already. Approach with extreme caution, he may be loaded!
