Good morning everyone!

Congratulations to the Graduates!

Ah, those photos bring back memories of my own graduation. Hard to believe it’s only been seven months! Congratulations to all the graduates! Don’t get too bored during the ceremony–don’t forget that the SSC has Wi-Fi for its students! 😀

Garret: Haha, I remember that Andre Woodson thing. I had him right around where he got drafted, a 6th-7th rounder, and that he had to go to a team that could coach his mechanics up.

Mel Kiper isn’t actually that bad, but Todd McShay is the worst in the business, IMO. No, wait, the kid that they called “Mel Kiper, Jr., Jr.” is pretty bad too.

I’m glad Locker didn’t leave early, I wouldn’t draft him with a 1st rounder. He has the athletic ability, but still, I’d say 3rd rounder at this point. He’d be a guy I’d sit for a few years behind a veteran QB to learn the offense.

Mrs. LTUHF spoke with Peaches last night. Long Time UH Fan is still in ICU. The prognosis is good. Continued best wishes and prayers for him.

Heal Long Time UF Fan…let the sun shine in. We’re all praying for ya!

CRW, like Kekoa said…better mark where your car is…you might not be able to find it later.

CONGRATS GRADUATES!

Have a GREAT DAY!

CRW ~ Good day to spend slo-cooking some Tripe Stew or Ox Tail Soup. MMMmmmMMM!

I’m getting ono for that stuff myself – even tho it was only a ‘chilly’ 71 degrees on the ceded lands earlier this morning.

Hi, my name is wafan and I am a weekend blogger.

Good morning!

Top 50!

Congrats to all the graduates! Good luck in your future endeavors.

CRW – stay warm and if it starts getting too cold, may wanna leave your faucets on, so they don’t freeze up. Seeing pix on FB of my cuz’s place in Fredericksburg. Plenny snow!

Alaska’s baggage fee is down to $15.

Hmmmmm, why do the others charge $25+?

In an apartment complex if you keep the heat on your pipes will not freeze. Keep the cabinet doors open, too. I would be more concerned about the pipes not contained in the unit.

Hopefully, CRW enjoys being snow-bound. A good time to meet your neighbors! During snow storms, I used to BBQ with some of them. That was always a lot of fun.

Hi, d1!

Off to begin my adventures in Christmas shopping.

Whoa, just saw ST’s addition up top about Taua. JJ and the ponies get chance.

Maybe if Kaepernick takes the game off, then SMU will have a chance.

Nevada is gonna make this Hawaii Bowl game look UGLY!!!

That’s ok, I’m sure June Jones will have his players playing “like they belong”.

So far a more entertaining game in Salem than Albuquerque…

Having a hard time rooting for the Fresnecks…..Wyoming is giving the dogs fits on offense.
Wyoming’s offense reminds of the Navy game. Man, the Warriors defense did an awesome job… Shoot, bet our Warriors can beat Wyoming!

Announcer at New Mexico Bowl mentioned that
Fresno took Wisconsin to two overtimes before
losing. Boy, wish UH could have done that.

They also showed Fresno’s big blocking back, who
went down on a chop block (by the defense) when
he took off his helmet, and I think his neck was as
thick as his belly. Talk about a refridgerator.
Does Coach Mac have a fridge?

congrats to all of the graduates.

okay so we lost the running back to by-who.
i guess he didn’t mind cutting his hair.

hey, whitey.

you busy next week?
maybe you come pick me up at the airport and we go have lunch.
maybe duffer can take one furlough day, eh?

charlie wade.

back in the day, when charlie was responsible for recruiting the rainbow wahine vb team.

i often wondered how he did it?

i often wondered how he was so successful recruiting the local girls?

now, i know why. ann miller in her season’s recap story today in the tiser quoted charlie and he said this about aneli cubi-otineru and her return to the hawaii team.

“I knew she wanted to play here in front of these fans,” said Wade, one of Cubi-Otineru’s biggest fans. “You look at her pedigree and you can tell family is a big part of her life. She’s one of those kids who really gets how important it is to come here and play in front of these fans if you live here. She recognizes that she does want to spend the rest of her life here, so to have her name and face out here at UH is really big, really valuable … it can get you in the door.”

…charlie wade, tiser 12-18-09

i hope our football coaches uses this philosophy when approaching the local boy talents of hawaii nei. i hope they get it.

…nuff said.

al,

good post….hope all is well, been cooking turkey, stuffing, ahi poke, cranberries (fresh), more stuffing, and lots of GRAVY……..ryan heads to the east coast tomorrow to see his grandparents……so, had to cook his ‘last supper’, haha.

we won’t see him til next year, haha. everything else is going forward, the required paperwork is in process and we shall bring closure soon.

as with the RB at USC, the NCAA is a very fickle group and EVERYTHING has to go by the book……so baby steps are more advised, dot the i’s and cross the t’s…….

by the way, MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone…..may your hearts be filled with joy and peace during this season.

So much for my #2 confidence pick 🙄

After watching that game I am sure without a doubt that the Warriors could have beat both of them.

I’ll be contacting Koa Anuenue right after the first of the year – had planned to do so on Monday but see above for why no can do – to see if it would be possible to set a special Tsai-ko fund for the SERVING UP 1000 Drive which would allow each donor to get a full tax deduction.

What I plan to suggest is that those of you who want to take part sign up with me and I’ll send you a coupon book. Every time you make a donation, you tear out the coupon, fill in the information on both the form submitted with your check or debit/credit card information and the coupon stub, and then mail the check & the form in to Koa `Anuenue. Each month, I’ll post a reminder or two about sending in the current payment.

Again, at $20 a month, 50 donors can raise $8,000 between January and the end of August. Some folks might write checks for even more money, but it would all go into the dedicated fund.

The big question would be if the Koa `Anuenue would be interested in working with such small donations even though the aggregate would be fairly substantial.

Will report back early in 2010 as to what the response is.

From Kevin Hashiro (I guess) in LV via FB:

UH pulls off the huge upset and beats Kansas State, 71-61. They maul the Wildcats on the boards and minimize the turnovers in the 2nd half as they rally from a 33-13 first half deficit. Wahine draw host UNLV, lead by Iolani alumnae Jamie Smith, in the semifinals tomorrow night.

Thanks WDoc.

WassupDoc,

It will be interesting if they want to deal with the $20 checks each month. I had assumed that foundations would want to deal in bigger increments, so I sent $100 to Na Koa a couple of months ago and plan to send $100 increments every so often. I could change that to $20 monthly (that would actually reduce my donation plan), or could I send in 5 coupons at once? I was surprised that such a significant amount of the Na Koa donation was not deductible as my donations to other causes never had that problem, so your setup might be better since all of the donation might be deductible.

The other thing is that I set aside a significant amount of founder’s stock in my company for UH. I didn’t donate it now because it is worth nothing (the stock price is a 1/100 of a penny) and it isn’t worth the time or money that I and UH would have to do for it, but if the stock is ever worth anything then the UH Athletic Department would benefit nicely.

Free play link time. Please ignore my next 5 posts if you do not want to read the off-topic stuff.

Swedish fast-food chain is trying to discourage customers from eating their burgers by publishing the carbon footprint of each item on its menu.

Experts have recommended that the English soccer team give Via gra to its players for the World Cup. I didn’t realize that cyclists are already taking Via gra due to its performance enhancing properties and how it is not a banned substance.

Moons such as Avatar’s moon Pandora and Star Wars’ moon Endor may actually exist–if they exist, habitable moon may be found soon via current technology.

Al already referred to this, but I figure I should post the article anyway.

Joshua Quezada announced Saturday that he will sign a scholarship agreement with BYU and enroll this coming January 15 after he takes his finals at La Habra High School.

Joshua Quezada is a 5-foot-11-inch, 205-pound running back prospect from La Habra, California. He had scholarship offers from Utah, Hawaii and Washington, but chose BYU for a lot of reasons, including the honor code.

“The honor code was a big plus in my mind,” said Quezada, who is not LDS. “BYU has the sort of atmosphere I want in a school and in a football program. They hold my same standards that I have personally and that was a big thing for me.”

By joining midyear, Quezada will aim to play right away. He’ll be taking his finals at La Habra High School January 13 and plans to enroll at BYU January 15 to cap off what has been a hectic recruiting process for him.

CAPITOL/DOC: Wouldn’t a check made out to UHF earmarked for the WVB be deductible no matter the amount?
