Moving day

The Warriors practiced for nearly 2 hours this morning, then prepared to check into the Moana Surfrider this afternoon.

They also received gifts from the Hawaii Bowl — a backpack full of swag, as well as credit that they may use to acquire items from a gift room.

Former UH wideout Billy Ray Stutzmann attended today’s practice.

This past season, Stutzmann served as receivers coach at Emory & Henry. Tim Chang, who was E&H’s offensive coordinator, has been hired as Nevada’s receivers coach.

By the way, Anguay channeled his inner R&B, singing “Me and Mrs. Jones” during last night’s karaoke party. Anguay’s father used to be the bass player for the Krush.

They were known as the The Top of the Hill Gang, a group of UH fans who attended every home practice.

One of the most devoted was Raymond Onosaki, who was grandfather to Billy Ray Stutzmann and Craig Stutzmann. Onosaki recently passed away. Deepest sympathies to his family.

Nick Rolovich, whose father is a firefighter/electrician, knows a few rope tricks:

    Maybe Rolo plans to play “Rope A Dope”…
    (…a strategy in which a boxer covers up against the ropes to make the opponent exhausted throwing punches so that he cannot defend effectively late in the fight and is thus defeated.)
    🙂


  16. Ipu Man December 20, 2016 4:34 pm

    Wonder if they still those silly Christmas gifts:
    Soap On A Rope?


  17. Ipu Man December 20, 2016 4:35 pm

    …if the still SELL those silly…


  18. Ipu Man December 20, 2016 4:36 pm

    boy, my computer just keeps dropping letters…

  19. Kepola December 20, 2016 4:56 pm

    SteveM ~ Aloha, and kudos for all you do to create a sense of community, continuity, and connection on the Warrior Beat, even among the habitual lurkers. : )

    Many thanks for thinking of me. I still live between Santa Fe and Los Alamos, and will email my contact info in the next week or two, if that’s all right. It’s nice to think that there are some other UH fans up the hill (or, as they say around here, the Hill).

    In the meantime, Season’s Greetings & Happy Holidays to all!


  20. Maddog50 December 20, 2016 6:06 pm

    Wafan come on by!


  21. sfogate December 20, 2016 6:15 pm

    Small world….Andrew Ho’s uncle is Edwin Ramones, lead singer of the Krush.

    Go BOWS. I’ll be at the game 🙂 My last one as a soccer/football mom.


  22. NorthShoreFan December 20, 2016 8:45 pm

    Guud Evening Tsaikos…Bootiful Evening.

    Yup, Edwin still banging the ivories. Bring the house down when he does Krush songs.


  23. Nufan December 20, 2016 8:49 pm

    Great news for Timmy but wow there really spreading out the positions coaching nowadays when he is an “inside” wide receivers coach. Timmmay!


  24. Stephen Tsai December 20, 2016 10:40 pm

    What happened to the “Fabulous” part of the Krush?


  25. BigWave96744 December 21, 2016 12:01 am

    What ever happened to Shnazz????
    I think they’re alone now?

  26. NorthShoreFan December 21, 2016 7:34 am

    Guud Morning Tsaikos…Bootiful Day!

    ST .. The “Fabulous” parts are still around but scattered across the USA. Some still playing music here and there.

    Christmas Wish…some mean, mobile and hostile OL and DL kind of guys. Wishing the recruiting trail will take us to the next level.

    IMUA WARRIORS!


  27. A-House December 21, 2016 12:02 pm

    NSF:

    maybe ST can act as the intermediary for UH coaching staff and recruits by accepting their scholarship commitment and placing the news in his columns since this is a “dead period” — who the heck came up with that phrase???

    “dead period” also means a recruit cannot make contact with the Star-Advertising to announce his accepting a scholarship? isn’t it only for coaches to keep their nasty hands in their pockets?

    some beat writers say a “zebra” can call a penalty on every play – OK, will accept that, but why, in certain games, the “zebras” mostly call penalties against UH???

    oh, they “blinked” when the opponent committed a penalty – now, now UH fans, we all saw the “folding” or pass interference or chop block, or block in the back


  28. A-House December 21, 2016 12:05 pm

    Maddog50:

    just our family’s way to thank you for being such a solid Warrior fan!


  29. A-House December 21, 2016 12:08 pm

    SteveM:

    is not 99 Club in that part of Texas?

    he has not posted for a while — hope his is OK — same for Alanbama and Committed Road Warrior – Garret — and all the Tsaikos from the past!


  30. A-House December 21, 2016 12:18 pm

    Ipu Man:

    and, here I thought only I had trouble with computers!

    today must be my lucky day as I sent an email early this morning and something I scanned, sent, and deleted 2 days ago attached itself to my email causing a curious reaction from the recipient.

    the “obake” in my computa must be mad at me cause my cursor is blinking like Christmas lights!!


  31. A-House December 21, 2016 12:20 pm

    Akamai:

    count me in – have not seen/talked to wafan in a couple of years.

    hello, wafan!
