Aloha to all of the Advertiser sports staff, thanks for the memories. Good luck to all of you in your future, we pray that everything will eventually work out. Mahalo.

You folks did a terrific job! Terrific! Thank you.

Howzit Tsaiko fans! How ’bout doze Lady Warriors? Dey wen make Misery feel miserable!

Oh…and I heard my fave ESPN announcer say that AA made a routine fly ball look like it was so difficult to catch! Huh?..Whaa? Did we not see AA sacrifice her body to make that amazing grab?! 👿

Future Warrior has an MMA fight tonight.

Wai’anae siblings David “Bubba” Pa’aluhi and Raquel Pa’aluhi will fight in separate bouts on the undercard of tonight’s X-1 World Events “Nations Collide” card at the Blaisdell Center Arena.

Bubba’s bout is being staged under amateur rules because he is still an NCAA athlete.

He was a starting linebacker on the Oregon State football team as a junior last season, and finished second on the team in tackles. He said he will enroll at the University of Hawai’i, and is awaiting a decision from the NCAA on whether he will be eligible to play for the Warriors in either 2010 or 2011.

GO WAHINES!!!!!!!!!

A lovely day for softball & baseball with a WIN!!!!!!!

I saw this posted elsewhere–Oklahoma’s AD confirms that the 6 teams leaving for the Pac-10 was discussed during the Big 12 meeting yesterday. The Big 12 Commissioner said that he wanted a “honest” and “frank” discussion that would lead to everyone pledging to be loyal to the Big 12. Instead, Missouri refused to say they would stay in the Big 12 and the 6 teams leaving for the Pac-10 plan was discussed.

Castiglione said possible ties with the Pac-10 were discussed on Thursday.

“I think there’s some potential value there,” he said. “We had one meeting with some of the members of the Pac-10. It wasn’t a scheduled meeting. We brainstormed some of the possibilities that may exist. Since then, both our commissioner and Larry Scott have had conversations. It leads one to believe there are some real viable opportunities for both leagues.”

Someone asked why people here soo critical of mainland announcers…weeeellllllll…we can all see how much effort they put into minimizing the accomplishments of teams from Hawaii….

Good morning Tsai-kos!!

Mahalo & best wishes to all the HA staff on their last day(s). We will miss the HA terribly.
Just ran into my friend who is a non-newsroom HA employee. She will not be making the move over and will be taking some time to contemplate her next move.

Best birthday wishes to Rich2176, Jumping Jack Flash & Protector!

Heard Don Robbs this am on BC’s show. ASU has *metal* bleachers in their stadium and temps are expected to be over 100. Ouch ouch ouch.

GO WAHINE!!
GO BASEBOWS!!

Good Morning and Happy Aloha Friday Tsaikoville! Happy Birthday to RIch2176, Jack Flash & Protector.

808ike, who cares what the AZ coach says. Coach Coolen has a note from the NCAA saying the bats are just fine and dandy

biz=buzz

Lets see – the NCAA says the bat are legal, the AZ coach says the bats are one reason the Na Wahine hit so many homeruns….Duh Then why don’t you get some of the exact same bats or could it be that the Na Wahine are better hitters than your team????

Someone asked why people here soo critical of mainland announcers…weeeellllllll…we can all see how much effort they put into minimizing the accomplishments of teams from Hawaii….

Actually we do the same thing. Last year when the Hawaii football team struggled against Central Arkansas, most of the Hawaii fans never gave any credit to CA for being a good football team. All they could say was that Hawaii was somehow not playing as they were expected. The same was true in 2008 when Hawaii played against Weber State, We didn’t give Weber State for being good, we all said that Hawaii was underperforming.

It is a perception by most fans of BCS schools that the sports teams and programs from the none BCS schools are simply not up to par. You can break it down evevn further and you’ll notice during the football season that all of the SEC fans don’t have any respect for the none SEC football schools. That includes not only fans but also players, coaches, and the media. Nothing anyone can do about it. Players and coaches from teams like the Rainbow Wahine softball team need to remember that the only opinions that matter are from those of the members on the team bus. That’s all. No one else matters.

CELEBRATE THE WAC CHAMPIONSHIPS AND WCWS!!!

Rainbow baseball has a white only WAC Champions shirt for $15.00.

Thanks Kazz; any caps?

Mahalo and Aloha to the Honolulu Advertiser staff and their families for all they have done to contribute to the lifestyle and culture that is Hawaii Nei!

Happy Birthday protector!

Happy Birthday Jumpin’ Jack Flash!

You’re making me cry this morning…

Aloha and mahalo to the Advertiser staff for decades of work in keeping us informed and entertained with “all of the news that’s fit to print.” May all of those who have to move on have the wind behind your sails and a safe port to land.

😆

Pomai #30,

re:bats

Coach COOL mentioned it takes 3 years to season the bats for optimal
performance. If the BCS schools can not wait that long, Coach Cool
should auction off a few bats since he will have more seasoned bats
next year.

Opening bid should start at $50 million.

Money to be applied towards improvement of the Athletic Dept.

Any good ideas on how to handle the wait before the game?

I was thinking about doing push ups, but found it too difficult to make one push up last for four hours.

Happy birthday to Rich2176 & Jumping Jack Flash!

jm2375,

Check out the pictures of the ASU stadium seats on my FB page. The upper level might be metal bleachers, but there are plastic seats on the lower level.

GO WAHINE!!!

KAZZ: What other teams uses the Easton bats? Noticed in some softball bat review that the Easton doesn’t rank as high as the other manufacturers so I’m wondering what the AZ coach is yelling about.

As has been said in other context, it’s not the size but how you use it!

Mahalo and Aloha to each and every Honolulu Advertiser employee for the many, many years of wonderful service to the readers of Hawaii. For some reason, I always felt that the Advertiser just had a comfortable look and feel to it which I could never duplicate when picking up a hard copy or visiting the SB website. I hope some of the HA “mana” will pour over to the new HSA. To all the employees who will not be joining the the new HSA, I extend my best wishes to you all. You are obviously all talented people so stay positive because something good will come of this situation. Aloha.

On the Bobby Curran Show, Lori Santi called in to say the Wahine already took their ESPN promo vids for the day and then went for lunch with their families.

This was about an hour and a half ago.

“Life is short. Don’t Bruin it”

I think it’s been documented that Tennessee and Georgia Tech are using the same type of Easton bats.

Speaking of the Vols fans, did you see all those Tennessee fans cheering the Wahine yesterday. They sat several rows above the Mizzou dugout and behind their fans.

#15 cheering on #16 I guess…

But yeah, that Yee girl on GA Tech was using the same kind of bats the Wahine were using, but they sure as heck weren’t harping about her equipment. 🙄

The Tsaikos should sponsor a new softball tournament in the preseason.

UH will be in it, it will be at the RWSS, BUT UCLA can be designated the “home team”.

We’ll call it, The Trophy In The Trashcan Invitational.

slugger – yeah, but plastic in 100+ degree heat is still okole burning.

#346 808ike, 50 million starting bid for the bats is ridiculous. get real. we can start the bids at 47 million each and settle for 50+. LOL

#48 Old Driver, when it comes to push ups, do what i do. lie flat on your stomach. make a 180 degree turn so you are now on your back, arms at your sides. bend your arms at the elbows in an upward facing position. extend your arms upward, straightening the elbows and reaching as high as you can. bring down your arms, back to the bent elbow position. congratulations! you now did exactly 1 reverse push up. i find i can do a lot more push ups this way. do not over do it otherwise your arms will be sore and you won’t be able to lift the beer bottle. always warm down after doing strenuous exercises and make sure you stretch those muscles.

Good Morning Tsaikos….Hope all is well.

Godspeed, God Bless, and Good Luck to all those at the ‘Tizer who will be moving on. You will be missed and we wish and pray for all the best for you and your families. Just remember the imortal words of Mr. Frank Sinatra:

“And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend I’ll say it clear
I’ll state my case of which I’m certain

I’ve lived a life that’s full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets I’ve had a few
But then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption

I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Yes there were times I’m sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out, I faced it all
And I stood tall and did it my way

I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried
I’ve had my fill, my share of losing
And now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing

To think I did all that
And may I say not in a shy way
Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it my way

For what is a man what has he got
If not himself then he has not
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way

Yes it was my way”

Kazz…it’s why I didn’t continue working out the acronym…family-friendly newspaper.

Happy Birthday to Rich2176 & Jack Flash, my unbeknownst Birthday brothers!

If I can have one grantable(?) birthday wish, I wish for the double celebrations
(for the Wahine & BaseBows) to continue on through next week!!

In case anyone missed this from the last Blog:

Pride,

While I agree with your statement on perception, professional sportscasters should be able to step back a bit and be a little more objective, especially on the Super Regional and National Championship levels of such sports and Softball, Baseball, Basketball, or any other sports that have 40+ games. These are not the same as early season games. The teams that make it that far have justifiably proven their worth. By the time they get there, they have gone through a gauntlet of challenges and are deserving to be considered as winners and worthy contenders.

Would local fans look down on the Div II HPU Softball team if they were to play UH’s Div I Softball team next week?

Chawan,

What did I tell you about posting as Stretch?

Bumbai u lern!!! 😆

By the way, there are multiple reports now that the Pac-10 news has caused the Big 10 to move up their expansion decisions from the 12-18 months they had planned…the Big 10 will meet on Sunday and reports are that might need to move quickly to try to get Texas.

madeinhawaii,

I agree with the point that pride made. I have seen local fans regularly put down the competition when UH plays a D-IAA school in football and when UH plays UH-Hilo or one on other smaller schools in Hawaii in basketball. I’ve even seen UH fans publicly put down WAC teams from NMSU, Utah State, SJSU, etc.

The only thing professional about Michele Smith is the caliber of her denigration, ingrained bias & elitist condescension. I e-mailed ESPN to respectfully complain (citing examples of bias & unprofessionalism) & requested she be excused from any announcing duties that had UH as a participant. So much for that; I’m sure they deleted it while they politely acknowledged its receipt along with assurances it would be forwarded to the pertinent parties (yeah right).

Re: #68
An apt selection, <J)James. Maybe we can sing that as a group song at the end of the night? Or at least an esme & ST duet? 😕

J — got something on your mind today? 🙂

Stretch:

**** KARAOKE NIGHT ATTENDEES****

Please pay your money to Chawan Cut when you arrive. Thanks.

It’s true… chawan_cut is Stretch’s designated collector. Payments to him.

Garret – Why are there thoughts about the demise of the Big 12 if only 4 teams are left? Aren’t they still an AQ conference with bowl and television contracts in place, even if they lose 8 of their teams? There are articles stating that the remaining 4 could go to MWC or CUSA, both of which are not AQ status (MWC is close, but not there….even with Boise) and have nothing close to the size of television contracts of the Big 12. It seems like it should be the other way around…that the Big 12 would be the place to be for MWC and CUSA teams.

It looked like the Big 10’s decision was the starting point before. Now it really seems like Texas holds the key for everything here. It is both interesting and scary at the same time.

GO WAHINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO BASEBOWS!!!!

100

Gametracker has pics of SD players, but not UH. What gives?

In looking for sites related to net hosting and specifically comparison hosting linux prepare internet, your web page arrived up. You are a quite smart person!

Kazz – yup. SD is the higher seed.

Kazz – oh. whatevas.

2 run HR for USD. 2-0 USD end of 2nd.

Kazz – #111 – wooohoooo!

Fantastic publish! I’ll subscribe right now wth my feedreader software program!

🙂

Slugger,

I meant that there is a seperate shirt that is the under armour brand for Wahine softball. It’s a women’s shirt only. I’ve seen it online and at the downtown store.

But yeah, would be nice if the championship tees were UA material.

anybody know what will happen to our HA subscription?

the way it looks with all the shuffling of conference members, if somebody wants UH, they may go to a conference that has bigger money contracts so maybe can cover the deficit.

if the rule is specific about “crow hopping” the fault lies with the head coach and his asst for not correcting this. they think that they are above the rule, so the only way they will learn is to punish them and punish them is fair. no excuses. all sports are governed by rules of the game, so if a coach does not know the rule, it is called T S!!!!!

there are 8 teams in the CWS, but the 2 “crow hoppers” are in the loser’s bracket. maybe, changing to “manoks” would be more positive!!!

papajoe2,

Your HA subscription will continue to cover the new Star-Advertiser. I asked for my Mom. No problem.

Kazz,

I’ll check online. I am going to be at the Ward Center after my niece graduates tonight, so I thought I might be able to pickup a shirt there.

I know a lot of you think Kazz harps a lot about the disrespect that we get, well it shows all over the place an I can understand why we get all huhu. Example, even the NCAA treats Hawaii different then the big schools, just for the heck I was looking at the recap of the games for us and UCLA, well the recap for Na Koa Wahines was all of 130 words, yet the recap for UCLA was 818 words, go to the site an look, it just not right.

Hawaii’s – http://www.ncaa.com/brackets/2010/ncaa_bracket_DI_softball.html
UCLA’s – http://www.ncaa.com/sports/w-softbl/recaps/060310aab.html

This kind of stuff happens just to much

Pomai,

The fault may actually be with *UH*. Often times those recaps are written by the Sports Information Directors or other members of an Athletic Department. Didn’t UH’s own website say that UH lost the game for hours after the game was over? How much support do you think that UH gave for that game story to be written.

😀

who’s pitching today?

if i recall correctly, kaia p. has been called on a couple of illegal pitches.

Piikea! 🙂

Darren,

There are all kinds of articles being written now, things are so muddled that the media won’t have a true picture of anything for awhile. Here are some things that reporters and fans don’t seem to understand clearly:

1. Reports keep saying that Big 12 schools need to give 2 years notice to leave…WRONG. They can leave with 1 years notice if they pay a higher exit fee.

2. Some people are speculating that the Big 12 teams that are leaving will change the exit fee rules. However, the Big 12 bylaws (which were available for free on the web the last time I checked) require a 75% approval to change the rules…the teams being left behind will NOT want the exit fee reduced.

3. The Big 12 Commissioner had been saying that he was going to get everybody together to pledge loyalty yesterday. He actually said that he wanted to know “who was with us and who was on a plane”. Well, he got an answer but it wasn’t the answer he wanted! So, the Big 12 hasn’t had much time to work through the different scenarios so nothing has been decided yet.

4. Making decisions now is premature because the Big 10 is meeting on Sunday and may come up with an offer that could sway Texas. They probably wouldn’t take 6 teams from the Big 12–they might want just Texas, Texas A&M, and Nebraska. Any person who says that they know for sure what will happen has never seen what can happen at the last minute in an auction.

The “Tech problem” for the Big 10 is that all Big 10 members are solid academically and AAU members…Texas and Texas A&M are but Texas Tech is not.

If the Big 12 implodes, I think that the Big 12 might be able to put together a good conference (enough to keep AQ status) if they grab teams from the MWC, C-USA, and maybe 1-2 WAC teams. They might even get teams from the Big East or merge with the Big East. Nobody knows right now.

It looks like the Presidents of the Big 10 will be meeting on Sunday and the Presidents of the Pac-10 will be meeting on Sunday. The MWC Presidents will also meet for several days starting on Sunday. Things should be decided by early next week.

Sadly, nobody seems to care when the WAC Presidents will meet…half the schools (BSU, Fresno, Nevada, La Tech, probably UH) want to leave anyway and the other half (NMSU especially) are just worried about the survival of their athletic department. If the WAC Presidents really wanted to keep the conference together and try to take advantage of the opportunities presented at a conference, they would be talking publicly about meeting and looking into options.

I’m a Gemini too.

Good afternoon Tsaikos.

Got my Phil Steele College Football Preview mag today…he projects Hawaii vs SMU in the Hawaii Bowl.

Twenty minutes till game time…gotta keep busy until then.

Follow up to Coolen sending/holding up the runner at third. If it sounds like I’m nit-picking on Coach C, I probably am. I think he’s doing a fabulous job…I just have a contrarian streak from time to time.

In competitive situations, I often look to the military since that Chinese guy wrote that little book about warfare that practically all the asian top executives have read. Strategy says to keep your opponent off balance and wasting resources trying to figure out what you’re going to do. I guess that could possible mean taking chances like stealing a base or bunting every once in a while could make the opponent just a little unsure of what’s going to happen next. If the opponent is sure what the strategy is, they can align all their resources to stop you. They may not succeed, but they will make it harder than it needed to be.

Information…Traci gave it away in her post game interview that she was looking for a certain pitch location and adjusted for it. Do you think UCLA now won’t be looking for her “adjustments”? Might have been better to just say “I was looking for a hittable pitch and got lucky”

Hey!!! Game time!!! Geeev-um Wahine!!!

GO WAHINE!!!

FOLLOW YOUR ROAD by Pauline Wilson

With so many roads that seem to lead down to the sea,
I wonder which road will be the right one for me.
Others may fall away, dead ending left and right.
But there is this one road that journeys far out of sight.

Have you wondered where your road will lead you?
Maybe to a bright day of sunshine,
or a starry night in heaven.
Or it might be you’re afraid to go, afraid to go,
But you’ve got to follow your road,
or you’ll never know, never know.

We are all but travelers living in a foreign land,
Just trying to find our way best as we can.
Looking for an answer, trying to find some love
And though we have journeyed far,
it’s not quite far enough..
http://www.free-lyrics.org

Have you wondered where your road will lead you
Maybe to a song that needs singing, or a summer rain
Or it might be you’re afraid to go, afraid to go,
But you’ve got to follow your road, or you’ll never know.

You’ve got to follow your road, follow your road,
You’ve got to follow your road, follow your road,
You’ve got to follow your road, follow your road.
And maybe someday your road will take you far away.

Keep following, and you’ll find it,
And someday you will get there
Don’t be afraid.

You’ve got to follow your road, follow your road, follow your road.

If there’s any comforts (if I’m correct) umemployment benefits has extended to 99 weeks … almost two years …

Come ON WAHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Game report…just back from Packard Stadium. It brought me back to the old college days at Rainbow Stadium. David Freitas hit a bomb to tie it up. Jeffrey Van Doornum hit a solo shot. Matt Sisto pitched a heck of a game in taming the Toreros. Hawaii 4 USD 3. Bring on ASU !!

Hawaii up. Let’s go BOWS! Time to bring in the “hot bats”

Majam’s catch looked like transfer, as she reached into her glove with her throwing hand the ball came out. It should have been ruled an out from the beginning.

Is this going to be another 7th inning miracle????…come on Wahines!!

Nice dp

Nobody said it was going to be easy. Still get chance even if it’s through the scenic route. 🙂 KEEP GOING WAHINE, we’re with you all the way

Game over. 5-2 ucla

Come back strong tomorrow Wahine!

Good job Kaia. Keep your head up. You, too, Stephanie.

Nice job by UCLA. I hope we get another shot at them. The Wahine can definitely beat them.

This was a good game, Their pitcher was on it all game, she had the inside working really good, but did notice the one or two times she threw to the outside or middle we hit her good. If we face her again we need to figure out that inside pitch. She really had the control. I would have had our girls move an inch or two back in the box.

Good thing this was the first game of the day/evening.

GO OUT TOMORROW AND LIGHT THEM ALL UP!!!

1pm Hawaii time versus the winner of Florida and Missouri tonight.

parnaby pitched well.

we played good defense.

5-6 batters produced still looking for 7th batter to step it up.

1-4 went silent.

there were times when we were chasing late in the game by three runs that i felt that we needed to take until we had a strike. we needed three runners to tie the game and one or two solo hr’s would still have left us behind.

Dang it. I finally watch a Wahine game live and their bats go cold.

I am refusing to watch anymore games this season.

Go Wahine!

Be the hittas, titas!!!

GO WAHINES !!!!!!!!!!

AZWarrior –

Thanks for the support.

Bows going to the next round.
Support.

Support the great state of Arizona.

RIP John Wooden…

1420 saying we playin UW or UA

rematch with the huskies!

Somebody explain me how the heck we playin the loser of UA and UW….

Who is running the show out in OKC?

Will now need to win 3 in a row to advance to the title game.

im listening to 1420 they just talked to Kauwe and he said UA/UW….mass confusion

Mizzou is OLD news.

I WANT FLORIDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two SEC powers going down to the Wahine in the World Series sounds good to me! 😎

sounds like its official….loser of UA vs UW

we got punked

That’s weird. Dont see UA beating UW. Lost to UA earlier this year.

bb #300,

NCAA is finding ways to get UH out of WCWS.

the whole bracket thing is whacked.

everything says Missouri/Florida but Kauwe and UH’s SID confirmed it was UW/UA

bb,

Hawaii baseball plays the winner of U. of Arizona-U. of Wisconsin-Milwaukee tomorrow.

Duffer,

No worries. I said that if the Wahine get eliminated THEN it’s your fault! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

I misspoke with regards to the bracket so it’s a wash. No worries. 😎

im talking softball…

1420 is saying, SID is confirming we are playing winner of UW/UA at 330 our time

im still trying to figure it out. if you know mav, please explain

Is this the same SID that didn’t know any better than to let Mack get back up in front of the media without a written statement for that unfortunate attempt at an apology last year? 🙄

Go with the NCAA brackets….

http://www.ncaa.com/brackets/2010/ncaa_bracket_DI_softball.html

What a curveball they threw at UH. Sorry curveball, don’t mean you.

I hope that is what it is…

But they saying on 1420 they spoke to UH SID and said the brackets get switched up and this is what they have done in past years.

Maverick,

Still agree with you on the brackets.

FOR CRYIN OUT LOUD!!!

WE PLAY MISSOURI OR FLORIDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😡

I’M DONE!!!!

Blog boss…can you confirm…and then explain? dont make sense

and peeps thought i was trippin…

I don’t understand this they are not in our bracket, if this true then I hope coach Coolen protest this, they are trying anyway they can to keep Hawaii out of the CWS. They must not be sure that UCLA can beat us and think that Washington will end up beating AZ and think for sure Washington can beat us. Just more of the same chit.

UH website says The Rainbow Wahine will next play the winner of Washington-Arizona

Pomai,

The UH website article about UH losing says Florida/Missouri winner.

the front page schedule says UA or UW.

808ike,

Yeah..ummm… NOT a good time to e-mail Coolen.

Tomorrow 1 pm, HST, Hawaii vs the winner of Florida-Missouri. If these so called “professionals” cannot read the bracketing, they should go to class and learn how to read and make brackets.

USA Today announced UH plays UA/UW winner.

Guess it doesn’t matter who UH encounters. UH still needs to WIN 3 games
to compete in the finals.

It doesn’t matter who UH plays, UH has to go undefeated to reach the finals and at this stage, everyone is good including our Na Wahine. Just Win.

Huh. Learned something new. In the NCAA bracket link, if you click on the game there is another link that opens. On that link there are archieved and live videos of the games.

The archieved games go back to the finals of the Super Regionals. There are other sports listed there, too. Tennis, baseball, . . .

Of course, you have to listen to the biased ESPN boobs if you listen to the Wahine games. But, for those of us who missed the games for whatever reason it is only slightly better than having completely missing everything.

I think Kara Nishimura has been doing a hell of a job up there.

Thinking back to the rained out Alabama game, Bob Coolen was quoted in saying he couldn’t locate an NCAA representative on the premises when he was trying to get information on what the situation with the rain delay was. So he just took the team back to the hotel since it was 5 minutes away to get something to eat and get comfortable.

To me, that’s a glimpse into the availablity of the NCAA and their information.

I agree it really dosen’t matter who we play we need to win. ESPN announcers just said something about crossing brackets. I really wanted to see us play Washington for the title, but in the end it really doesn’t matter as long as we win.

Would be intresting to see how many times in the past has this (crossing the brackets) happened?

Ralph,

You could barely handle those mercy rule games by the Wahine at home a few months ago!!!! 😆

3 hours!!!!!!!!! UGH!!!

Thanks Coach Wooden. You’ll be missed.

Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It’s courage that counts.
John Wooden

Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.
John Wooden

Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.
John Wooden

The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team.
John Wooden

The worst thing about new books is that they keep us from reading the old ones.
John Wooden

There are many things that are essential to arriving at true peace of mind, and one of the most important is faith, which cannot be acquired without prayer.
John Wooden

Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.
John Wooden

What you are as a person is far more important that what you are as a basketball player.
John Wooden

Winning takes talent, to repeat takes character.
John Wooden

You can’t let praise or criticism get to you. It’s a weakness to get caught up in either one.
John Wooden

You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.
John Wooden

UH plays at 3:30 pm HST, just enough time to pick up some fuud and make the drive to KK after the game. No time to bocha, but that’s okay, take a morning shower and no sweat the game out.

Pomai – NCAA = No Clue At All

Seems to be much ado about not much.

If this is the way it has always been done then what is the problem?

If this is something new then what is the problem?

I seriously doubt the NCAA purposefully set out to mess with the Wahine. Have you any unrefuteable proof of this?

I am sure the Wahine knew of the flip-flop from the outset.

The Wahine will play and defeat whomever they must.

Go Wahine!

We support you being the titas!!!

Whoo-hoo!!!

Darn cold has worn me down.

Nytal!

Go Wahine!

Be the titas!!!

JMxxx are you bringing bread pudding to the KK?

Ncaa has now changed UH into the lower bracket.

Ralph,

Same thing in the other bracket….2nd game 1st pitch is 7 hrs after 1st game start.

To the staff of the Honolulu Advertiser. Thank you for your years of faithful service. For those who will be starting a new journey, good luck in your future endeavors. When a door closes, a window opens somewhere.

I await the start of the new version of the Warrior Beat, I hope I can find my way there. I’m a half full kinda person. I know we will all be just fine.

On another note: GO WAHINE! Doesn’t matter who we play, bring it!

D1 the crossover has been part of the world series, this is not the first. The HA had it wrong in posting the schedule early this week, and someone on the NCAA site was in error by posting UH in the upper bracket.

Ralph – #362 – yes, but you’ll probably have to go thru a-joe to get some. 😆 🙄

Tennessee wins, I’d rather play Tennessee than Georgia, but first, got to take care of UDUB. I’m hoping they beat UA, coach Candrea has been complaining about composite bats and the number of home runs being hit and he wants to legitimize the game of softball by eliminating “hot bats”. I wonder if he complained when his UA set the record last year.

A few shots of patron and A Joe is history!

It’s Friday Night….Go Lions!

Quite a few number 2 seeds lost in baseball today. Number 1 seed in regional play is in trouble, Fullerton down to Minnesota 3-1, top 9th with Minny batting

BG always come late, then too late for him.

I QUIT!!! i no like hear about brackets anymore. make one all star team with the rest of the world series teams and we play ’em. just give me the correct time of the game.

So Tennessee won 7-5 over Georgia.

Soooo, what time do they play tomorrow?

UH plays at 9:30 pm, EDT on ESPN

Me too…. 🙁

As we were unloading the car this afternoon, keed wanted to know why I was making bread pudding. I told it was for the blog party tomorrow. She wanted to know why she wasn’t invited. I told her too many adults… 😀

mih – #403 – yup. you need to go in through the main HA page.

I think maybe they just fixed it.

JMxxxx you just got to make more than one pan. Kekoa, no problem, he coming late. A House, no problem, he can not remember he wanted to eat bread pudding.

no, i tried microsoft problem solver and it didn’t help. Got to pick up an xp program from my daughter tomorrow, hopefully the laptop will boot.

thanks, will try it after the sb game

Ralph or anyone else. watching the games today, what does it mean when the girls in the dugout flash 3 fingers in rhythm?

papajoe2 ~ Nah…dunno ‘fo shuah. Just my guess!

Kekoa, i’m bringing lumpia. what no moa adobo?

you notice Georgia using Easton bat, Wiggins bat looks like a Stealth model.

i thought after AA fouled off about 8 pitches, she should have moved up in the in the batters box because almost all the the fall balls were down the 3rd base side, getting just a little ahead of the pitches. although, after about 7 more, she hit it over the fence.Tracy, Kelly and Iwata and a lot of the other softbows also had a lot of foul balls down the 3rd base side too. we did have several, weak, ground outs to the 3rd baseman. give the pitcher credit though. i hope the R. Warriors adjust quickly tommorrow.

Spotted at the graduation tonight: the Tsai-meister! (and Brie & bf)

I took a picture, but it’s not as good as ST’s. Shouldn’t have used a flash.

Making me cry at the start & now the ending of the day. Good luck to all of the HA staff.

Hiya. The Wahine will adjust..
They are studs. They haven’t come this far to go down now.

Sweet SoftBow Dreams and Go BaseBows!

papajoe2 too many of the girls got “sawed off” inside with the screw ball breaking into their hands, lots of contact on the handle, those that got the barrel on the ball hit it foul. Our hits were change ups and curve balls on the outside.

Missouri and Florida at 6 am, long day tomorrow, but after next week there is nothing to watch or cheer for unless the baseball surprises and makes it to the super regional and world series.

Honolulu Advertiser staff, good luck and best wishes.

Got

to

go

to

bed.

G’night! Sweet dreams!

GO WAHINE!!!

GO BOWS!!!

For those that don’t know, Hawaii Moms Like Me will continue after Sunday…but Esme will not be a part of the site anymore and she will not be part of the Star-Advertiser. I cannot imagine Esme’s site continuing without Esme…

Go Wahine SoftBows!

Be the titas!!!

papajoe2 post #383: Yes, Larry Farmer was a GREAT player for Wooden during that Championship run as he was part of the “Walton Gang” who won 88 straight games before losing to Notre Dame as Clay, Shoemaker and Carr played “BIG” with Digger Phelps coaching a masterful game !

Larry Farmer a gracious gentlemen had the Head Coaching position at UCLA but the shadow to over come Wooden success was to much for any coach to succeed as ‘national championships’ was the criteria as Larry Brown, Farmer, Gene Bartow, Walt Hazzard, Jim Harrick, Steve Lavin and now Ben Howland has far and between to get there with ONLY Jim Harrick winning the National Championship in 1995 as that was 11 years ago.

Parity is all over College Basketball and the elite players are playing all over the country as UCLA is not the lime light school as it once was.

Good morning to all of you as I head out for some good tennis and hopefully get back to watch your na wahines continue their magical journey as I thank you “Old Diver” for the dvd as it came yesterday delivered personally to me !

Go Soft Bows !

Today is another day of spiritual immersion and service for me.

I leave the Bows and Soft Bows in His Hands and yours!

Mahalo, Ke Akua!

I love this- Hurrah for the Fs!

Today’s Virtue:

FRIENDLINESS is reaching out to others with warmth and caring. It is the willingness to be an intimate companion. Friendship is essential to our souls. We value ourselves enough to know that we deserve true companionship. We attract others by what we are willing to contribute. What we give we get. The presence of a friend can soothe us, unleash our laughter, amplify our joy and diminish our sorrow. Friends are compassionate witnesses to one another’s stories. We share our time, our attention, our love, and above all ourselves. We look upon strangers as friends we haven’t met yet. Friendliness is the best cure for loneliness.

GO WAHINES!!!!

Sorry for being off topic, but I am just starting my website/blog. Why did you choose WordPress over blogger or any other blog program? I am trying to figure out the best way, since I am not a techy.

Great post. Can I ask you a question? I want to start a blog as well that is why I was searching on the internet for blogs to use as examples, do you find you have to be perfect in your grammar to have people like what you write? I have been told I write like I speak, so I was wondering if that was a bad thing.

May I link to your post?

When regular readers talk about researching students loans the viewpoint is to find single mother welfare. It’s time to go the distance but you should decide how much time you can consistently assign to your single mother welfare activities.
