SEATTLE — The Warriors practiced for 2 hours at Brigham Field.

One of the attendees was former Warrior linebacker Adam Leonard:

And here’s a view of the field:

It’s a homecoming, of sorts, for special teams coordinator Chris Tormey.

He spent 18 years with the University of Washington. His wife was raised in Seattle. Their two daughters were born in Seattle. One is a student at Washington. The Tormeys also own a house in Seattle.

“It’s going to be fun to play there,” Tormey said.

The Warriors will practice for two hours in Metro Stadium this afternoon. Tomorrow’s walk-through practice is at Quest Field.

Happy birthday to the always cheerful Kay Miyabe.

Random acts of giveaways continues. Jm2375 wins a $100 gift certificate to Tropics Bar & Grill at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.

For those who asked, yes, Paul Brian Beckwith is the new student assistant for men’s volleyball.

    Weather is clearing and warming. High’s in the 70’s starting today through next week. Possible high in the 80’s on Saturday and Sunday. Daily low’s in the 50’s.

    Bring your sunglasses!!! Yep, in Seattle, no less. HA!

    We already broke the rainfall record for the month — this past weekend.

  12. Committed Road Warrior September 10, 2009 5:25 am

    Sounds like good weather is on the horizon for this weekend’s game. I packed jeans and stuff thinking it’d be cooler, but oh well.

    A nice mostly cloudy but windy day so far in our nation’s capital. I expect the rain to come by mid/late afternoon.


  13. d1島 September 10, 2009 5:28 am

    Top 15!

    Great Morning All!


  14. d1島 September 10, 2009 5:29 am

    Happy Birthday Kay Miyabe!

    Congratulations jmxxxx!


  15. Au Rite September 10, 2009 5:31 am

    good morning warriors,
    From, HAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  16. d1島 September 10, 2009 5:31 am

    Is the complete travel roster posted somewhere?


  17. d1島 September 10, 2009 5:43 am

    H1N1 woes a concern.

    Will the players switch from visors to surgical masks?

    Will those who use hand sanitizer on the sidelines be placed under closer scrutiny for holding penalties?

    Will QB’s be asked to “cover up” when shouting audibles at the LOS?

    Will there be thermal imaging monitors for WuSSieCats as they disembark from their bus?


  18. mctruck September 10, 2009 5:49 am

    I was wondering???….did Funaki get a chance to play in the previous game??? and was also wondering if he would be inserted in a wildcat scheme, if UH has it in their game plan?


  19. d1島 September 10, 2009 5:55 am

    mctruck,

    Mac said Funaki will get some PT on this road trip.


  20. tom-warriornation September 10, 2009 5:56 am

    fyi on swineflu: per greentea on sportshawaii forum: yes, you do run the risk of getting it in a crowded environment like the bathrooms, water receptacle, don’t accept any open cans or bottles, etc. In the open air should help alot in terms of ventilation. Avoid people coughing, sneezing, or seem like they have colds going on. Get hand lotion sanitizer, the best Purell brand, kills 99.9% germs, bacteria etc and a box of kleenex (cover all open airways like nose, mouth, eye tear ducts when someone is coughing or sneezing). Honestly, the best defense is no be there…..but if have to be there take very good care of yourselves. I worked at a military medical clinic and believe me they don’t play when it comes to virus transfer.

    Good morning Tsai-kos!

    Happy Birthday to da big guy, bighilofan2! Have a great one today. I’ll look for you on tv tonight.

  25. expat September 10, 2009 6:12 am

    I think Inoke did some holding on special teams — or were my eyes and the oceanic stream deceiving me?

    Wearing a mask mostly protects other people from you — not the other way around. Wazzu may be having a bit of an issue with flu — although I don’t think it has been confirmed — but remember that this is not a game that a ton of students will be coming to — the sick ones especially. The game is mostly for Seattle area alumni and fans.


  26. bighilofan2 September 10, 2009 6:14 am

    Good morning TRsaikos everywhere.

    Good Morning All! Still waiting to hear back from my possible ride to Seattle. Sounds like we’ll be driving over in the AM and leaving after the game so no extra curricular tsaiko activities for me. Just getting to the game will be good enough.

    Happy Birthday to BHF2!


  53. Kekoa September 10, 2009 7:39 am

    #49 ~ Wow ST…that’s great news! How you doing up there in the great PNW? Everything running as smooth as a new born grandbaby’s okole so far?

    If you’re craving for local food and need to get your rice fix, you should head down to Hawaii BBQ. It’s on 50th and University Ave. in the U-district. Tons of cheap combos and plate lunches. GO WARRIORS


  70. Kekoa September 10, 2009 8:43 am

    Team A-House ~ Have a safe and pleasant trip. Try not to shop ’till you drop because we need you to cheer loudly for the Warrior crew!

    Please keep an eye on KK as he is prone to get hisself intoxicated rather quickly when not properly supervised. (Da bail money is in a secret compartment inside his slippah!)

    This AP voter tried to justify ranking Oklahoma over BYU on his ballot…and just looks clueless to me. I think that preseason polls are silly anyway, so to go more by the preseason polls instead of what actually happens on the field is crazy to me.

    But here was a national voter on a national network, trying to justify why on his ballot, BYU was No. 13 and the Sooners No. 10.

    His reasoning: BYU had not appeared on his preseason ballot, while the Sooners were No. 3. He found it difficult to raise the Cougars to a Top-10 level while dropping an Oklahoma team that lost quarterback Sam Bradford to injury any lower.

    The real kicker: “There are so many ways to look at it,” the voter said. “How much does one team deserve to rise and how much does one team deserve to fall? There is no question that if this was the final poll and my poll was part of the BCS system, I would have much more seriously considered putting BYU ahead of Oklahoma because of the head-to-head victory.

    “But because it’s only Week 2, I’m not apt to do that.”


  80. SteveM September 10, 2009 9:15 am

    Good morning everyone!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIGHILOFAN2 !!!


  81. Garret September 10, 2009 9:16 am

    UNLV apparently is having some problems with their defense.

    Scoring against anyone on their schedule shouldn’t be an overly taxing concern for a UNLV offense that managed at least 21 points in all but one game last year and returns most of the skill spots that created such consistency.

    Defense is another matter.

    It has been for some time.

    UNLV has an opportunity to earn its first winning record in nine years, but it won’t if those entrusted with stopping others mimic the defensive nightmares of recent times.

    The Rebels on Saturday didn’t offer a single defensive starter who wasn’t on last year’s roster, meaning coaches believe there’s been enough offseason improvement from the nation’s 103rd-ranked unit to take another look at many who have struggled mightily.

    Understand: The Rebels since Mike Sanford arrived as coach in 2005 never have ranked above seventh in total defense among Mountain West Conference teams. They have ranked last twice. They have allowed an average of 30 or more points in three of Sanford’s four seasons. They couldn’t cover air most nights.


  82. Kazz (blkberry_storm) September 10, 2009 9:18 am

    Al,

    Per your post late in the previous blog I forgot about Kevin Spain!

  83. (Jesse) James September 10, 2009 9:20 am

    Good morning Tsaikos….

    As a good friend of mine from the wesside always says…”Safe journey” to all the Tsaikos traveling to Seattle today and tomorrow….and all those going to Vegas….

    To the A-House ohana and the Tsai-kos heading out to Seattle soon… Have a great trip and we’ll catch up to you folks in Vegas!

    Bon Voyage to lakesidegt, who is heading to New York for a 7-day Canada/New England cruise! We’ll catch up to you someday too… 😉


  86. SteveM September 10, 2009 9:35 am

    seabeav — are you a resident in the Seattle area? I maintain a listing of Warrior Beat bloggers who live on the mainland or in other countries.

    Anyone residing outside of Hawaii, please indicate what city you reside in and I will add you to the list at:

  87. jm2375 September 10, 2009 9:40 am

    SteveM – #85 – we need to have another Tsai-ko cruise debriefing when you get back from *your* cruise.

    lakesidegt – take plenny pikchas please. I like see da fall colors.


  88. Larry Fernadez September 10, 2009 9:47 am

    Looking forward to seeing all you Tsaikos in seattle! Ron Lee being on the field with the receivers is a positive move. Rolo calling the plays will benefit the O in many ways. My prediction – UH 42 WSU 31.

    Any of you going to the game what hotels are you staying at? ST with the layoffs and low revenue at the paper how can you stay at a spectacular hotel. Shouldn’t you being staying with me at the Comfort Inn in Seattle.

    Go Warriors!


  89. Richie September 10, 2009 9:48 am

    Garret #81,

    I hope you’re right about the UNLV defense. My biggest concern is that our O-Line can’t block anyone either and that might even things out a bit.


  90. Ymea September 10, 2009 9:49 am

  91. A-House September 10, 2009 9:49 am

    Thanks to all our fellow Tsaikos who are wishing us a safe and fun trip to Seattle.

    Funny, I was real concerned about the UCA game, but fell at ease with the WSU game knowing that the Warriors will prevail.


  92. PowderPuff September 10, 2009 9:50 am

    Good morning! Can’t wait to see ST’s photos from Seattle. Hey, congrats jm2375! Can you e-mail me your mailing address – same goes for Manoa Mist and the upcoming winners (yes, there are MORE!): gndy (at) hawaii (dot) rr (dot) com.


  93. SteveM September 10, 2009 9:56 am

    jm2375 — yes, especially with lakesidegt. My stuff is same-o-same-o…but I might shoot in “live” posts about shipboard activities I can visualize Tsai-kos doing… 🙄 😆


  94. Capitol -ist/WassupDoc September 10, 2009 10:02 am

    Will be picking up the free tickets to the volleyball matches this weekend in about half an hour.

    Anyone interested in getting one or two ? If no one here wants them, then I’ll just give them away at the box office before each match. .

    Please send an e-mail to swood at hoku dot com. Be sure to include your real name as well as blog name and your daytime telephone or cell number so that I can call you with updates.

    Note – park in the upper campus on Saturday or on Metcalf after 6 pm tonight and tomorrow night and walk over to the lower campus. No sense in paying $5 for parking. There are two elevators in the large parking lot plus an escalor – get off on three and cross over the bridge to the Stan Sheriff Center.

    NOTE: I’ll not have access to e-mail after 1 pm today so please respond before then.

    Kekoa – if we can finish up by 12 noon on Saturday, we’ll grab something to eat at Zippy’s on S. King Street before heading on to Club Genji. If we can’t wrap things up quickly enough, then we’ll go ahead with our original plans and join folks at the half.

    Looking forward to seeing all you Tsaikos in seattle! …

    Any of you going to the game what hotels are you staying at?…..

    Your question may be partially answered by checking the Tsa-ko’s in Seattle listing (just under the Las Vegas listing) at…

    http://home.roadrunner.com/~smurashi/tsai-kos/las2009.html

    Larry — Are you a resident of WA or what hotel are you staying at? What tix section/row? Would you care to join the Tsai-kos on the list for any activities?

    NOTE: I will maintain and update the Seattle Tsai-ko section with relevant comments and activities until noon Friday (PST) for their reference.

    actually, ron lee will remain in the booth and communicate to the sidelines his observations. something he has been doing for 11 years now.

  100. d1島 September 10, 2009 10:31 am

    al,

    He’s been up there even longer than that…called games for SLS for a bunch of years from the same perch.


  101. al September 10, 2009 10:38 am

    the much maligned oline should not take the credit for everything.

    a sack occurs because…

    …you can only sustain a block for so long.
    …wide receivers not open results in indecision and holding on to the ball too long.
    …qb’s not ready to pull the trigger in time or throw it away when they should.
    …a rb not picking up the blitzing lb’ers and/or db’s.
    …the odds are stacked against them, i.e. 8 man rush, 5 olinemen.
    …defenses are choosing to send them instead of defending the four receivers.
    …an inadequate number of running plays and short passing game to hold/freeze the dline and lb’s at the line of scrimmage for a precious moment.

    …many other factors involved, but, these are the obvious.

    as pride. would say, you have to had been playing oline to understand all of the nuances involved to achieve success in the trenches.

    …nuff said.

    OK…

    I think I am really worried about Worshington State now…

    Someone on that team is going to get hurt.

    Blaze Soares and Jake Huen on the field at the same time?!?!?!?! 😯

    Not good for the Cougars.

    Good for us though! 😎


  103. Kazz (12 more for Coach Shoji) September 10, 2009 10:40 am

    Al,

    Im so lost and confused still yet. I hear some saying Ron Lee will now be on the sidelines, which is what I assumed from the news stemming that he wants to be there for the receivers and correct any errors or to assist in making adjustments, then I see others saying he’ll remain in the booth with Brian Smith.


  104. al September 10, 2009 10:41 am

    d1…i understand that.
    in fact, his booth presence goes back to kaiser high school days.

    its not easy to “see the field” from the sidelines.

    personally, i really like this move of ron’s devoting time to the wr’s. as we discussed on several occasions, ron probably misses stutz1 the most.

  107. SteveM September 10, 2009 10:48 am

    I’ve been watching the comments between WassupDoc and Kekoa with interest…especially the meal part. I know it is not the same, but I can’t resist pointing this out…

    Art (Arthur) worked at Zippy’s when he and my cuz married loooong ago. He was the Zippy’s Catering Manager I was told. JaM used to work for him so can tell you more than I. Art retired from Zippy’s a few years ago. Genji’s opened in 1989 and I have always suspected the location, practically next door to the main office Zippy’s, was not a coincidence… 😕

    This might explain why Genji has a large menu coming out of an incredibly small kitchen and no meal is too large for Art….but they apologize for the food prep delays.

    So while the food genres are not the same, talk of eating at Zippy’s and then going to Genji’s is anecdotal… 🙂

    Bess and Camarillo will be rotation at WR.

    “We’ve had a steady rotation,” said Camarillo, who caught 55 passes for 613 yards and two touchdowns last season, his first as a starter. “The coaches are mixing it up, and we’re interchangeable. Whoever lines up in the game can get it done.”

    Bess, who is presently working as the slot receiver, said the constant rotating encourages each receiver to “stay on top of our game.”

    “Anytime we get a ball thrown to us we’ve got to make the most of it because it may not happen for another couple of weeks,” said Bess, who contributing 54 receptions for 554 yards and one touchdown. “You’ve got to be as productive as possible.”


  165. Garret September 10, 2009 12:39 pm

    “rotation” should be “rotating”

    Several people posted about the world champion in the women’s 800m race whose gender was called into question. It turns out that externally she is a female but internally she has male organs instead of female organs–she probably had no idea about this and I’m sure this is a shock to her. This condition is rare and possibly life threatening…

    G (China),

    ESPN does have a *big* influence in the rankings, and they tend to push teams for rankings that they have on their TV schedule. With ESPN not showing MWC games, I doubt they will get much of a push by ESPN compared to what ESPN does for other conferences.

    Anybody tried watching the games at the Koolau theaters yet? With the three game road stretch this might be a good a time as any to try. The $12 price tag might be a little hard to swallow, but I usually spend way more than that on tailgating anyways.

    I’m not sure how the Rolo play calling will pan out but I think after a few rough patches it might turn out to be a good thing. Seems like Coach Rolo brings a certain Maverick quality to the table that is reminiscent of JJ. Perhaps we’ll see some playcalling with a little more… how shall I put it… cajones.

  175. royvic September 10, 2009 12:50 pm

    When Coach Mack at the ending of last Tuesday’s Call the Coach Show mentions that the Warriors have to go up there to WSU and beat those “mothers” I thought, again, another politically incorrect thing to say. But that’s him, that’s his style, which quite frankly is so ghetto that it’s partly the reason I’m losing my respect for him.

    There’s one to thing for the coach to be giving his team a locker room speech and it’s another thing in speaking in public, where decorum and having some respect for your opponents is duly expected. And where his choice of using the word “mother” is insulting, insinuating and connotative–which I’d think would be construed as being a slur and it shouldn’t be directed at anyone or any team. (note, though, this isn’t the first time he’s used this expression).

    You sometimes have to wonder if he know where he’s at and whose company he speaking in.

    But his lack of savoir-faire does add to the list of reason why fans, even the most congenial, have been showing some indignation towards Coach Mack.


  176. LizKauai (WARRIORS- IMUA!) September 10, 2009 12:51 pm

    chopsueyboy- thanks for the link:

    “As for the Hawai’i game I like our chances. Hawai’i has a great offense but a very inexperienced defense. If we move the ball like we did against Stanford and punch it in at the end of drives we should do well. If our defense can step it up and make some big plays and force a few turnovers we will win. Hawai’i played poorly last week at home against an FCS team but I wouldn’t read to much into that. Look for them to come out ready to try and grab a victory over a Pac 10 team for the 4th straight year. Our pass rush has to be better and our secondary needs to show improvement but we won’t have to deal with the run as much. It should be a good game and I can’t wait for saturday.”

    And to finish another thought. A caller called in and asked why the team didn’t play Funaki. And Coach Mack responded that it was (his words) an oversight and that we forgot to play him.

    For me when I hear these types of answers it begs the question of what does he have between those two ears.

  188. Sinope September 10, 2009 2:07 pm

    royvic: I hope that the Coach is not revealing all his secrets. He could have said that it is a secret; are you a WSU fan/agent/spy?; or he could have just said never thought about it or a bunch of other things, diplomatic or otherwise.

    Nuf said

    Oh my God…

    What is going on over at NBC right now?

    I thought this was football and NOT the MTV Video Music Awards?!?!?!?!

    Enuff already!!! There’s an actual FOOTBALL game going on over at ESPN.

    Paul Johnson’s boys running roughshot on Clemson in the 1st quarter right now!


  190. iwonderwhytheyhateme September 10, 2009 2:11 pm

    rout on Clemson….but gawd if not for the fact that g-tech have been getting like 20 yard runs every single carry i cant state enough boring it is to watch the option offense…


  191. PowderPuff September 10, 2009 2:13 pm

    re #178: Hi, Kekoa! Can’t wait to see you again. Last time I saw you, I was feeling really crappy with a high fever. I promise I’ll have more energy next time. Hope the eye doc was good to Diana.

    There’ll be a few more giveaways…and if you win, parking’s on me, I promise. Whoops, did I say that? 🙂

    Not as boring as watching Tim McGraw while waiting for some actual football to kickoff. 😆

    21-0 GaTech with 2:38 in the 1st…

    I rest my case. NFL’s “yawn” of a kickoff show = BLEH!

    ok i didnt hear the interview….but if thats true and it he meant what he said thats a bit scary.

    i am giving Mac the benefit that it was just a mix up where he didn’t say what he meant. i cant see him forgetting to play someone he intended too haha. it just doesnt seem reasonable.

    OK, I guess you can call me this season’s “al”…

  197. d1島 September 10, 2009 2:24 pm

    Nice looking facility that the team practiced in today. Looks comparable to what a lot of D3 schools have.

    Being right in the Seattle Center makes me think of how great it would be to have a something like that for the high schools here again….say, maybe in Manoa! 😉

  201. Slugger September 10, 2009 2:37 pm

    Dang! GA-Tech is running roughshod over Clemson. Shoots, I like Clemson. Whoo! The Tigers just scored!!!

    Kazz,

    Are you going to the game tonight? Tsaiko sightings are going to get lean these next 2 weeks.

    I had a hard time seeing the numbers on the jerseys at the last game. I think the numbers should be white on the black jerseys.

    No Wahine volleyball in person for me tonight. Gonna have to enjoy the game at home. I’ve been sick from work all week and I plan on going back tomorrow.


  206. labrat September 10, 2009 2:44 pm

    Funaki did play in the game on special teams.


  207. Slugger September 10, 2009 2:45 pm

    Is Cooke/Ching Field complex supposed to look something like Brigham Field down the road?

    What’s Adam Leonard up to these days? Good to see him there.

    I’m not being a ‘cougar’, but who is Paul Brian Beckwith? Previous UH VB player?

    If you hadn’t heard Coach Mack use the term “mothers” before, you hadn’t been following UH football last year.

    LizK,

    Watching practice doesn’t help me recognize players by the way they move, but what plays might be called by when they are in the game. It’s enlightening. And it’s great to see them up close watching what they can do.

    GO WARRIORS!!!

    Unless Coach Mack intends on playing “favorites” I don’t see him actually “overlooking” an individual player, ANY player.

    Already we’ve learned there was no intention to use the “Poidog Offense” (Noke Package), so that already “lessened” the chance of Funaki playing on the offense last Friday.

    Plus with LWJ getting SOME decent yardage at times and Alex Green looking good in fall camp, I don’t believe it to be an oversight as much as something not necessary.

    I’d “worry” more if we still don’t see Funaki at all during the road trip. Then, that’s a REAL “oversight”.

    He and Pilares did one series as kick returners in the first half I think.


  210. Kekoa September 10, 2009 2:55 pm

    Our pass rush has to be better and our secondary needs to show improvement but we won’t have to deal with the run as much. It should be a good game and I can’t wait for saturday.”

    Hmmm…sounds like it’s time to reveal our secret stuff that coach Mack has so cleverly concealed.

    I’m stickin’ with my prediction of 4 rushing TD’s and 4 from our receivers. I’m betting at least one will be on the ground with Funaki taking it in, and one will be in the air from Funaki.

    …and like he said at the end, “I can’t wait for Saturday!”…yep! Me too!


  211. Slugger September 10, 2009 2:56 pm

    #209 ~ True dat. Inoke was on the field as a kick returner.

  228. Slugger September 10, 2009 4:32 pm

    Clemson’s 53-yard field goal makes me wonder if Dunnachie could hit one that long? Neither Enos nor “Frodo” can consistently kick a long field goal, IMHO, after watching them at practice.


  229. Uce2 September 10, 2009 4:45 pm

    thanks for all the birthday wishes, y’all. 😀

    like I said, i’m wishing for a supah soakin of da Wussie cats.

    what I like most about Coach Mack is he sticks with his guyz through the season. He lets them finish the season and he lets them make the say, lets them have dignity. the more i listen to him, talking about all them mothaz…. I. i. i. get chicken skin. 😆

    last year, at the Hawaii Bowl, all of them coming into the tunnel lookin all dejected, and the kids are yelling for the players and coaches to give them some recognition, i saw from Section C orange row 3 seat 1, the only one who looked up at the kids, and showed respect to the fans wuz Coach Mack.

    Go Warriors!

    Next year, there will be an incredible Senior class playing D-1 volleyball.

    Remember the 6′ 3″ setter from Univ. of Texas? Nebraska has a
    commitment from a 6′ 5″ setter. (Morgan Broekhuis)

    Long Beach St. has a commitment form a MB 6′ 7″. (Haleigh Hampton)

    Both Fab 50 players.

    If Washington State played at Aloha Stadium in 2011, the TV rights would be controlled by UH and the streaming video from Oceanic would be available like the rest of the non-ESPN home games.

    If you have Dish, DirecTV, or U-Verse, you should be able to get the multi sports package and get the game on Saturday. It actually is much cheaper than GamePlan–for Dish it is $5.99 per month, and you can cancel anytime.

  316. Jason September 10, 2009 9:26 pm

    I know Bobby Curran has mentioned that he has a hard time seeing the numbers on the UH jerseys, too.

    To clarify what Mack said on the Call the Coach show: he addressed the same topic at Nā Koa the day before. He said they weren’t planning on breaking out the ‘Noke yet, but that they probably should have played ʻInoke some at RB. Mack said he likes LWJ, Green, and ʻInoke.

    Here’s the thing about the substitutions: Unless you have special packages, I can understand that not happening. Dave Aranda pointed out last year that while he was up in the booth, Ikaika Malloe was on the field. And Aranda noted that while Malloe was rotating the DTs in and out, he wasn’t really doing the same for the DEs. Well, first, you have a better feel of the players that you coach, and you can tell when they need a breather or two. Second, when you have multiple responsibilities (like DTs and ST for Malloe), then I can understand missing things.

    When you look at the offense, you only have four coaches. Two of them are in the booth, concentrating more on the chess match part of the game. There are only two on the field, and both are concerned with play calling and detail adjustments. Makes sense to me why a player rotation might get left in the wayside. It’s not excusable, by any means, but that just means the coaches need to do a better job of picking up the slack and helping each other out. Just as WassupDoc said, this is the second year, this is the year for that kind of stuff to happen.

    Actually both of tonight’s volleyball matches were blowouts. I was surprised that Shoji didn’t play more of his backups.

    Gave away two of the tickets to a couple of women waiting in line to buy tickets for both tonight and Saturday’s matches. The third ticket went to Slugger while the fourth one no one wanted.

    We have four tickets to give away for tomorrow night and two to give away for Saturday night. Remember, Saturday’s match is supposed to be close to a sell-out. If someone wants to use these tickets, please e-mail me swood at hoku dot com and be sure to include your daytime or cell phone number. I’ll arrange to leave the tickets at the Will Call Window.

    Once inside the Stan Sheriff Center, you’re supposed to sit where you’ve been assigned; however, in reality you can sit wherever you want unless someone actually has a ticket for the seat you’ve chosen. If that happens, then just move to another seat.

    Mahalo to the Honolulu Advertiser – the freebie tickets gave us a very different view from our regular seats.

    I hate it when people don’t sit in their assigned seats. At UCA game this guy had a lot of stuff in my seat and when I asked him to move it(nicely) he pulled out his ticket row number,seat number then section number like he was sure that he was in the right place. But then I told him (nicely) you have the right seat the right row but you are in the wrong section. Then you could hear an echo from others in the section saying the same thing. Then he looks at me and yells sorry eh!! Which really didn’t bother me but something else did. He had about four young kids with him. He then turned to one of the kids yelling at him for not finding the right seats. The kid must have been in the early teens maybe younger.

    Oh yeah the stadium usher just was a spectator the whole time. When I looked at him he just looked the other way.

    My younger sister said that she saw our mom sitting by dad’s hospital bed smoking a cigarette yesterday.
    No big deal but mom died 19 months ago.
    A few hours later dad quietly gave up the fight, mom was always impatient and making dad hurry up.
    I guess some things never change.

    Thank you for your prayers and well wishes, the Collins/Sakura family
    deeply appreciate every one of you.

    Anyone hear if the team is going to debut the Haka? My 6 yr old wants to wear his green “hulk hands” to the game for it.

    I want to be a Hilton Hawaiian Village Warrior!

    I feel a huge victory coming up in Washington. The offense will roll, the defense will stuff WSU and we’ll be going nuts watching from my home. What a fun weekend this will be with family and friends. Go Warriors!

    I want to be a Hilton Hawaiian Village Warrior. (and its mainland money added to the economy too!)
    I was off a little on my preduction of 37-17, but I can take it. Wonderful game Greg Alexander is going to start getting national attention soon.
