Friday's practice
The Warriors today had a modified situational scrimmage during the final spring practice before spring break. The Warriors set up plays for third-and-7 and second-and-12 situations, and so forth.
• The offensive line had its ups and downs. At one point, head coach Greg McMackin decided to coach the line, emphasizing an aggressive “punch” — the thrust block — during passing drills.
• Billy Ray Stutzmann and Corey Paclebar were the No. 1 slots again, with slotback Allen Sampson practicing at left wideout. Sampson said he is trying to gain weight and strength while learning to play the outside in addition to his slot duties. He said it has been difficult to maintain the weight with all of the running the receivers do in practice.
• Except for right wideout Royce Pollard, the three other receiver positions are open — and will remain that way through the first couple of weeks of training camp in August. The coaches want to give some of the newcomers a look, as well as give Miah Ostrowski a shot.
• With John Hardy-Tuliau playing well at right corner, it appears that Kamalani Alo has emerged as the No. 1 quarter (nickelback).
* * * * *
Today’s football practice is important for the Warriors, who have one last chance to make an impression before spring break. During the one-week hiatus, evaluations will be made, and the depth chart will be adjusted.
UH also will conduct auditions for two more walk-on kickers today. The Warriors have three kickers on the spring roster — Tyler Hadden, Kyle Niiro and Kenton Chun — and at least one more will join this summer.

Happy birthday to the Upper Campus “athletic director” Carl Furutani.
Good morning ST.
Good luck and best wishes to all the Warriors and walk-ons.
Heavy interest in kickers. Maybe A-joe should walk on.

Top 5! Should be a battle with the kickers. I remember both local products having great legs. I saw Niiro in high school kick a 53yarder, and in the same game kick a 70 yard punt.
It’s really raining cats and dogs over here in Foster Village. How the heck am I supposed to do the laundry? Yeah, our washer and dryer are in the patio.
#6
Hope the Warriors and coaches don’t get sick from being rained on.
Great Morning All!
Top X!
Happy Birthday Carl Furutani!
Kicks are for Trids!
Gigi ~ Go Ghetto style and string ’em up in da bathroom, and all around the house. Get the ironing board out and get busy!
Kekoa,
lol. That reminds me of friends who lived in a condo in Salt Lake. They hung up their wash on a line going from one end of the living room to the dining room. What a sight!
Go Warriors!
Kick Okole!
Go Wahine!
Time to call out the SWAT team!
Good Morning Tsaikos!!
Having a reliable kicker is HUGE for the team. When it’s 3rd and 15 on the 35, a consistent kicker means we can live with a 5 or 10 yard play and get 3 points. Without a kicker, we would have to go for a 15+ yard play and if we don’t complete the pass, we punt. The whole play calling mentality changes. I hope one of these guys can step up.

Stretch ~ The kicking ‘mentality’ has to be quick and decisive. Wasting T.O’s is unacceptable.
Btw…are you going to Hilo April 9?
Only 12 team spots left for the 4/12 golf tournament. Sign up before it’s too late. We also still need prize donations.
http://www.nakoa.org/?p=1043
#17 – I think it helps to have confidence in your kicker to make a decision. If you know the kicker can make it, it’s an easy choice, you kick. When there is doubt, there are too many options – go for the first down, attempt the fg or punt. That’s too much to think about in a few seconds for some.
I will not be going to Hilo.
Good morning Tsaikos!!
Happy Friday!
GO UH!!
Kekoa – Stretch is not allowed to go to Hilo, unless it’s a same-day trip. USC will be in town for the last 2 Warrior Volleyball games that weekend. Stretch is needed for USC support. 🙄 😆
Aloha Kakahiaka!
ST- How’s Jett doing?
Good luck to all the Bows playing today and tonight!
IMUA!
HiHo!
Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂
Nice to see everybody who’s here this morning. Hiya Liz!
Top 25 for travellin’ Tom! Have a Tsing Tao for me!
Play hard, Warriors, show the coaches what ya got.
I agree with others, it’ll be nice to have the kicking game going strong and steady. If Tomey’s in charge, I have to believe we’ll do much better.
Tsing Tao Tom. It has a nice ring to it! 😆
Hey Kazz/Pomai,
Maybe you guys should get a Wahine Softball website going like the warriorinsider.com site for men’s basketball. I don’t know what you would name the site though. Any suggestions?
DPK,
I put in 2 Tsingtaos in the fridge for hubby and 1 Corona for me. To be consumed tonight.
With Tomey in charge of special teams, I’m excited to see how they will be next year. I know that Tomey will probably tell the players that they will make a great impact on the game and it improves the chances of winning greatly.
Good morning everyone!
Good luck to the kickers!
I see the hand of the new Special Teams coach here.
Bon Voyage to Tom! I just realized that his sail date of the 17th is Shanghai time zone, so I’m extra late. He should be in Qingdao now, and checking out the Tsingtao Brewery for gigi. 🙂
SteveM,
If you have Tom’s email address, could you please send him my email address so he can email me the photos of the brewery? Mahalo.
RE: #30
OK, gigi. You could also pick them up in person, like on April 16 since he plans to attend the Karaoke Call with las vegas. We might even have an earlier lunch time Cruisers Call if he wants. Qingdao and Jeju Island has me curious and he’ll have some souvenirs to show.
Kinda ironic that he gets off his “all he can drink for free” cruise ship to do a land excursion to a brewery… and he does not drink anymore.
BTW– Tom, if you see this, take a lot of photos of the interior and other areas of your ship (Azamara Quest) to show us.
Gigi- what happened to the one Becks girl?
Go Kenton!
#26,
Website can be called Underachievers, or Free Fallers.
#34- did you abuse your kids too?
#28,
I see quite a few block kicks and field goals, also some long kick off and punt returns for touchdown, with Dick Tomey at the helm of that group.
But Dick Tomey’s most important value to the team may come in the recruitment end, especially with local athletes. What do you think, Sportsforfun?
LizKauai,
#35, just stating fact at the moment.
I think its a bit disconcerting that we recruited a Top 6 rated kicker in Hadden, but we still feel the need to consider walk-ons, etc. Either we have no confidence in Hadden or he has not lived up to his advanced billing. We should settle on a kicker by the end of Spring Camp…
It’s always good to have a back-up punter just in case Dunnache gets hurt or if we need a “specialized” kick (e.g. sideline punt, etc.) versus a boomer…
Papa Leahy called it an epidemic and Lori Santi said it was contagious.
The two were the K5 team covering the wahine DH at Wahine Softball Stadium last night. They both were referring of course, to the slumping wahine bats and 26 strikeouts in the 2 DH losses to BYU and Iona yesterday in which Hawaii was shutout over a combined 20 innings.
WSF has been steadily vocal on this issue and has stated the obvious many times and bc he was bullied for expressing his opinion he stood his ground against a culture of scorn, intimidation and vindictiveness designed to ridicule, discredit and silence his expression.
To the point where Stephen Tsai, the resident blog-guru suggested by unsubstantiated heresay that WSB was mentally-ill.
Kind of smacks of what is happening in Japan at the Fukushima Nuclear Plant as the crisis deepens. Officials lie, deny, deceive their own and spin to downplay the severity of this tragic event involving the melt-down of the Fukushima nuclear reactors.
Who are they protecting?
certainly not their very own or the global community. They have lost credibility.
Ditto with the ban on the wahine crisis.
There is a batting melt-down occuring on wahine team 2011.
And Denial, censor, mean-spirited attempts to quash legitimate opinion wont remove the crisis or hold accountable those who are responsible.
The demeanor in which legitimate view is handled and perceived on this blogsite is reprehensible. Stop the bullying and cult intimidation!
The one big plus, and I do mean BIG, for the Wahine Softballers, is the return of John Nakamura as hitting coach, due to Kaulana Williams being on maternity leave. John was the main reason why the 2007 team went all the way to the NCAA Super Regional, in Tennessee.
He made Kate Robinson into a tremendous hitter, not to mention all the other players. I saw and witnessed the turnaround that team had due to his teachings. Now just hoping he has enough time to work his magic with this team, and that they all listen to his teaching talent.
Can we ban IP’s that take on multiple user names? Or might that accidentally ban others as well?
Morning !
Liz,
Hubby is almost too adventurous for his own good. He is constantly trying new beers that he sees at Costco.
Hence, the Tsingtao and the Corona. So I compared the two beers and Corona got my “unanimous” vote!
Yay for Mexico!
amazing how one can become many.
al,
Yep… he’s the only guy that I know of that can make solitaire a team game.
gigi…time to step it up.
kronenbourg-1664 imported from france.
yah mih…hahaha. one table four settings. one voice. six conversations.
Al,
So, you are not recommending Dos Equis, huh? lol
I didn’t know France made beer, since they are famous for their wine.
I agree that the softball team is in a hitting slump but as I previously posted, it’s not the playoffs yet. It’s not even the regular season yet. Why panic??
Unfortunately, the same shibai is being said in the ballpark during the games. Using the aforementioned logic, I hold Mr. Sybil personally responsible for infecting the whole team with the poison of negativity.
Sounds like Steve is infected with eBolla…
Hey gang,
I thought ST said he personally avoids lonely, unhappy people. If he is at a bar, he gets up and moves away from unpleasant people.
Why can’t we do the same?
Ignore Steve and focus on a more pleasant topic…
If we did that gigi then no one would talk to you. BWAHAHAHAHA!
homey,
my name aint Steve…
homey ℞ — I am impressed by your desire to improve yourself in the batting cage. Maybe you’ll even buy your own bat one of these days. Good luck!
dos equis??? horrible beer.
#52…btw. i got that one.
that was an amazing role for sally field. after which no one could picture her in a habit.
Al,
I read the book!
WSF, I taped the DH with several friends. Most of the problems are basics. Like I said, go back to the cage and rebuild. With the exception of Kelly Majam and Jenna (JRod doesnt use an open stance–she is OK in her squared, high-elbow, traditional-stance–except for ball selection).
The open-stance batting posture is causing problems in swing mechanics: head is out of position, not down on contact and out, weight-shift is forward causing shoulder to open quickly and so much inconsistency with elbow and hand extension over the plate. mechanics in combo with bad pitch selection and an obvious loss of confidence is causing a spiraling down effect. Leahy and santi were correct–it looks epidemic-like and contagious.
I saw the registration of concern on both Coolen and Titcomb’s faces.
They know they have a problem.
However, repetition will not help. Practice makes perfect does not apply.
Coaches must practice perfect in the cage. get back to basics, Titcomb can handle and is very competent, but ditch the open stance (JMO), especially with jess, aquirre, sharla and sarah–they are all pull-hitters. jess has her foot in-the-bucket and her swing, sometimes is out of control. her swing is out of rythm and off balance. most of the wahine are not keeping their weight in back, except for kelly and JRod and their swings are off balance.
To be honest, they look terrible mechanically. never seen it this bad.
get back to basics. wahine are much too good and experienced as batters to stay down.
Coach Coolen and Titcomb can do it and are very competent but must attack the problem with basic application.
well, how’s the weather in Manoa? Sunny in Foster Village now!
Maybe he should stand by the visitor dugout and reek out negatives to them so we can get back on tract. No one can enjoy themselves with all this negative comments. How do you expect them to win if they just cannot go out and have fun?
I would rather read posts like the one above than others that are personal attacks against players and coaches. Each person has an opinion but delivery of that opinion is the difference.
Re #34
C’mon WSF, don’t just think about the now. Be supportive. The website will stay up permanently, not only for this season.
Warriorsun,
Like I mentioned before, help is on the way, in the form of John Nakamura, the Wahine hitting coach back in 2007. Made that team an excellent hitting team, with the likes of Kate Robinson, Kaulana Gould (at that time), Tanisha Milca, etc.
I agree, John Nakamura will help them get out of their doldrums.
Oh, I am bringing along my attorney to that meeting, forgot to mention.
Hey warriorsun, maybe you could send in your tape so that the players can see what is happening. I know Tony Gwynn would always look at tape of himself to see what he could work on concerning his swing.
Steve – Are you avoiding me? I’m willing to listen and learn.
# Stephen Tsai:
March 16th, 2011 at 11:35 pm
Hey, there.
I really don’t want to censor the guy because, I’ve been told, he’s not well. And I do know of people that have had health mental-health problems, so I try to be patient. It’s obvious the guy doesn’t have any family or friend support, so he needs an outlet.
The best thing probably would be not to engage in any conversations with anyone whom you would not want to engage in a conversation with. In real life, nobody would want to sit or talk to someone like that, so why would you want to do that here. If you were in a bar, you’d just change seats while making the don’t-serve-anymore-beers sign to the bartender.
I ignore people who I find to be just unhappy and lonely. At first I felt bad, then I figured, ah, can’t change some people. So I ignore ’em and live a much more stressless life.

If I remembered correctly, ST previously mentioned that Hadden had a leg injury last
season.
kelly and JRod are Ok. majam takes a lot of pitches early and starts to jump the pitch after she has seen the pitcher once, but majam is vulnerable on the outside corners. bc she is balanced, kelly sprays to all fields. her clutch-single in the nightcap in extra inning was classic and a great illustration of sound fundamentals, even with an open stance, her weight remains on her back-foot and she has good extension with her hands on contact. notice her front foot is open but on its toes (to keep the weight in back). kelly is a natural open-stance batter. she is ok. keep truckin gurl! you are always an inspiration to all.
Jenna is a classic.
when i first saw her batting stance, i first thught it was old style (back-elbow parallel to ground) and wondered if her dad taught her to bat. although she went high on one pitch to KO, but, jenna is sound. Just needs to settle down and be more disiplined in pitch selection.
who cares?

You know what WSF get a life dude. Really
And soon
Anybody going to the Auto Show at the Convention Center this weekend? Should be fun. Hubby and I are going!
I wonder what he named his attorney?
Howzit, everyone!
Can’t wait to get this next season rolling. Lots of question marks and pukas, but also lots of great young talent coming in, along with some strong leaders returning. Let’s finalize our lists and keep working out towards a great summer! Keep hitting those books too, Warriors, ‘Bows, and Wahine!
Attorney Jackie Childs
gigi-hawaii, when I go to the auto shows, I get all ono looking at all the new cars and what they have to offer. I want to buy them all. When I get home, back to reality. I love my old Toyota truck.
#73 we taped the game. i didnt attend. Pretty revealing shots from CF, it caught one AB of Iwata axing the ball with her foot in-the-bucket. many shots of sarah jerking her head past the plate on whiffs (head should be down on the ball and bat), although she did make correction on a later ab, made connection, went with the ball to the right. sharla’s swing is heavy and out of kilter. i would even her stance and go with a compact swing. sharla has natural power but needs to develop her eye and master her swinging mechanics. just basics–she already has the talent.
Coaches have theory about open stances–among others, batters face pitchers with a square look and two open eyes. makes sense. however, it can throw a batter off balance and mechanics if weight-shift is not perfected. iwata is so talented, she can hit even when her mechanics are off. but, sooner or later it will ripple.
I was stationed with a guy who used to tell himself jokes AND laugh at them (up to a week later, sometimes) during my first assignment with the 2nd Infantry Division, back in ’83.
Amazing how this guy can have full blown conversations with several of his own personalities, all at the same time! He/they were banned from Cindy’s blog… same should happen here. This guy = spoiled spam!
papajoe,
I am looking for an electric car to replace my 2002 Hyundai Accent. But, most likely, we will wait til the price comes down and there are lots of stations to recharge the car.
ppj2 – no can beat Toyota trucks!
I think maybe a blogger has good points. Maybe he doesn’t.
I wouldn’t know since I don’t read his posts.
What he does lack is communication skills. It’s OK to make a point, support it, and then sort of move on. And that’s valid.
But to constantly try to antagonize others is not productive.
And while it has been hinted many times to calm down, there appears to be a lack of impulse control. Again, the message has been lost by the messenger.
One other other thing, I did not give out personal information. I will take legal action against anybody who publicly said I did.
how does an e mail address implicate a person’s name, you need a techie in the depart to ckeck the IP and trace to find the name of the computer registrant. No one would put that much effort to id a blogger, not worth the effort. Your comments and opinions aren’t well received but you do have free speech, a writer and the paper recognizes this and they would be the last individuals who would seek your id.
You sure you didn’t have a moment of forgetfulness and you forgot to change the username before you posted. It happens, A House does it all the time.
Off-topic – did the FSU men’s bb coach resign or get fired?
ST,
How did people here get some of my personal information then, I never gave it out. Explain that to me, the only one that knows is you. Just asking right now, would like a response.
Almost forgot…
Happy birthday, Carl Furutani!!! Hope you’re having a great day!
FSU bb coach Cleveland stepped down, whatever that implies.
http://www.kansascity.com/2011/03/18/2734859/cleveland-steps-down-as-fresno.html
what personal info, I don’t recall any info posted on you, unless it was deleted. Date and blog post number(s).
As I’ve stated, I did not give out anyone’s personal information.
And further, I take offense to the accusation that I did. Besides, I was at UH all morning.
Now if we wish to all take a deep breath and start anew, fine.
If not, let’s go for it. I will take legal action.
WSF,
ST did not tell me you are Steve. I just guessed you were Steve, because previously there was a Steve who posted negative comments, which sounded so similar to WSF’s comments.
It was a matter of deduction!
you go to games, people know you. you are not anonymous. hawaii is small
Steve – You mean the email address that NCAA asked if that was yours and you said no? That email address?
Stephen Tsai,
I believe you, but just answer me one question if you can, how did someone here get my last name, I never gave it out here. I only mention it to people I really truly know.
ST, talk about aggravation. some of the posters have agitated the situation too. one likes to say with regularity when he disagrees, “you need to be bitch slapped”….what is that? where was the monitoring? what about all the negativity towards opinion that is not status quo? be fair and balanced.
Didnt you say yesterday (paraphasing), “why all the fuss over a team that is 22-5”?
well, 26 KOs later against mediocrity, we are 22-7– and despite a nice editorial dodge the batting problem persists. Cause for fan concern? You bet. Leahy and Santi think so.
assume there is a mole in the cult, truth is on record.
I don’t ever recall ST giving out anyone’s personal info. Gigi just said it… and many others figured it out when you came over here during Wahine Volleyball season and made your remarks about a certain Wahine V’ball player. Or, did you forget that you did that?
Question… does anyone attend Wahine softball practice? Are they thrown a variety of pitches, like they see in games? Just wondering what’s keeping them from seeing the ball as well as they used to. We know they have the bat speed to put the ball in play. Can’t wait for their offense to come alive again!
Each person has an opinion but delivery of that opinion is the difference.
It is obvious, by manner, character and action, that the persistence and volatile vindictiveness of a certain opinion here, always takes his personal dislikes past the point of mere arrogance and in no uncertain terms, like a spoiled rat, elects to regurgitate his complex of inadequacy on others.
To say that this individual is being unfairly singled out is an incorrect assessment when looking at the history and multiple abrasive personas that this person has used in an attempt to undermine those on his agenda. His opinion is not what is in question, but rather, it is the manner in which his ego and alter egos attack certain individuals that he has disdain for.
This individual should be left to his own devices and should have his voice of right fall upon deaf ears.
gigi-hawaii,
I do not care if you people compare me to Steve, or vice versa, that does not bother me, but when my last name appears here, and I never gave it out. That concerns me a whole lot, what other of my private info was compromised here. How would you feel if your full name and all was shown here for everyone to see. You never know who is lurking here.
You also respond to posts directed to Steve. So obvious.
DEEP breath….. exhale….. DEEP breath…. exhale…. DEEP breath….. exhale
#102… Bingo!!! Hahaha!
On another note, I got my UA Wahine booster polo shirt in the mail yesterday!!! WOOHOO!
hmmm. Good time as any to brush my teeth, comb my hair, and do some laundry.
Hope the sunny weather persists.
I’m not comparing you to Steve because you are Steve.
ST,
I understand you are always at the UHAD, I will be up there later this afternoon, if you would like to meet, concerning this subject, I will gladly meet with you, and have a very civil discussion.
WSF you tend to make statements to back your point of view and in one instance you cited that the parents of the players were coaching their daughters from the stands because Coolen wasn’t doing his job as you put it.
Looking at the starting lineups on the field, eliminate all the parents who weren’t at this tournament or last, and I can say that the parents who were there sat amongst themselves in front of the ESPN banner, several stood along the back fence. One from the mainland sat with his family in back of the boosters, another local parent sat about 15 feet to our left. Another parent of a local player on the field sits in front of the announcers booth. None of them addressed their kids during the game.
None of the parents come down to the dugout area to talk to the players, we sit directly above the dugout entrance and batter’s circle.
You can take issue with Coolen, but you shouldn’t drag the parents into your rant and imply that you had first hand knowledge of what the parents are saying when you don’t. I don’t recall any of the parents standing with you ever.
st…go for it. enough of this nonsense.
get a job.
get a life.
get a wife.
whatever it takes.
go to church.
do something brother.
you need help.
I’ve seen commercials for eHarmony.com. That would be a good start for you Steve.
personally, i don’t think there is anything to “discuss” except “talk to the hand”.
if you have nothing to hide.
nothing to be ashamed of.
nothing to retract in a court of law.
nothing that your grandma would not like.
then why should you not want your name out there?
at least half of these bloggers have openly and readily shared their names and stuff.
SOOOOOOO…. how’s the football practice today??
Ralph,
The reason you could not see it was cause you were not in the stands at the time. Thinking you might have been with Pomai, setting up the booster club tent. Her big sister was even talking to her about hitting.
FOOTBALL?
Now that’s what I’m talking about!
Go Warriors!
Ralph…let him be.
Wish I could put it as eloquently as Warriorsun does, but most times I cannot. THANK YOU, AGAIN, WARRIORSUN.
yep, when a reporter reveals names either deposited or made in confidence, that is pretty serious stuff. Integrity in any profession is crucial, especially as a reporter. it is a cause for concern.
I cant find fault for tsai acting pissed nor can I can I blame a blogger being upset if his name were revealed to others for intimidation purposes. could be a civil rights violation case.
best part about a lawsuit is discovery.
like a can of worms.
neva know what a keen legal-eye can pick up…..cyber footprints are difficult to erase.
Ralph,
Freedom of speech is for public places. It can be restricted in private spaces. So, is a blog private or public?
I think it will be more of a Sybil discussion
All I can say is, THANK GOD, John Nakamura is back in the fold. I have seen what he has done repeatedly, as a hitting coach. He is a HITTING GURU. Not only on the college, but for so long on the high school, level.
I am willing to give John Nakamura time to work his magic, cause of his long successful track record, as a hitting coach.
warriorsun – name or not, Steve already said where he can be found at Wahine softball games. So you don’t really need to know his name for intimidation purposes. Since many know where he can be found and no personal intimidation has taken place you can throw out the civil rights violation case.
homey,
The civil rights violation case, would involve the mention of my last name here. I never gave it out here, at no time.
That is not a civil rights violation case. BTW, when we gonna go to the batting cages?
homey,
Yes it is. What if I mention your full name, would you not wonder if I also know your home address, even your ssn.
sybil rights
oops..
aloha to all!
Have you ever gone to the City and County of Honolulu Real Property website? You can get anyones address and name who owns residence in Hawaii. Want more? There is a website that have names and salary range of State Workers. More. The Judiciary has a website where you can put in a name and see what traffic violations that person has. Names and Addresses are available everywhere. You just have to know where to look.
LOL @ haka. Aloha!

Wat happen at football today?
longboarder — if you are the same person who first posted here in August 2008, I have a question…
You have posted often in recent months regarding Steve. You apparently recognize his style. So, in your opinion, is Steve and WahineSoftballFan the same person, or is he just coincidentally named Steve?
Long time bloggers/chat people can recognize a person by writing style, syntax, and other variants. That’s how many people here can recognize the same person regardless of name. I have been skipping most of WahineSoftballFan’s comments so have not formed an opinion…at least I am not 100% certain they are the same person.
homey,
#131, Only if you know the person full name, but when it is not given, then how can you.
Have no idea how someone got his name because I do not know his name. I do know I was falsely accused and I am pissed
Warriorsun,
What I am more concerned about is when they play Fresno State. That first game will be televised nationally by ESPN. Knowing about all the brutal comments made by their announcers last year about the Wahine, and their home runs. What do you think they will say, nationally, if the Wahine are not hitting by then. Their comments can hurt recruiting, that is what I am most concerned about.
ST,
Are you not the only one that has knowledge of everyones email addy, the one that is required? I am not accusing here, just asking.
homey, legal reasoning or lay opinion?
Are you ma’a to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, or any other federal legislation relating to cyber bulling?
You imply that you have already pleaded and proved.
ST – I think you should have taken my suggestion a while ago and ban posters who abuse the forum. As the moderator, you have the right to refuse participants who detract or negatively impact the overall value of the forum. No matter what “tag” the poster uses, you can kindly refuse his/her request…Let the person find their own forum to post negativity.
Actually, all of these posts on Wahine Softball is giving me a “distaste” for the program, rather than enjoying their efforts on the field…
ST,
Not as upset as I am. Right now I do not know how much of my personal info has been compromises, including my ssn.
🙁
let him be
let him be
let him be
let him be
speaking words of wisdom
let him be
ST,
I would rather by upset and pissed, then not knowing how much of my personal info has been compromised.
No, you did not ask, you accused. I am going to take a little time off to cool. Suggest you do the same
OK
Today’s blog makes slow Friday’s at work fun.
Steve, my boy you got outed. You wouldn’t be such a target if you didn’t pop off as much. It’s called karma dude. I love the empty threat of getting an attorney and stuff.
I know I quoted blog post #319 but to hear you rant and get all paranoid is hella funny. I promise though, if you see a charge on your credit card for gasoline (damn so expensive nowadays!) Air Jordan shoes from Eastbay, playoff tickets for the Lakers and a new Blu Ray dvd player—i promise….wasn’t MEEEEEEEE!!!!
Steve – you can put in an address and not know the name. Someone could have followed you home.
WSF, at this point, the horses are out of the barn. Im just supporting the wahine and especially coach coolen and titcomb. they are aware and will do their best, so will the wahine. gotta say, watching Kelly and Stephanie play this year is so inspiring. just love to see players grow with adversity. that’s what sports are all about. stay a fan, the wahine need all to support—just give them back all the aloha and effort they give us. best wishes and dont fret on the lady dawgs….take it one game at a time.
Put a fraud alert on your credit report (it’s free) and stop whining
spot on
warriorsun – cyber bullying? Then he has to take that up with who he thinks is cyber bullying. Have you read his comments to Dani Mafua?
It’s obvious the WSB team is in a slump. Instead of pointing fingers at players we all should be encouraging them, not chastise them. Those that chastise may mean well but there are better way. Blaming individual players on a blog is, well try doing it in person with their parents/boyfriends present.
ST had done and continues to do a yeomans job on the blog.
Start your own if you fell leftout, chastised, or bullied. Nuff said
Don’t let the venom of the assp give you a distaste for the program.
longboarder — if you are the same person who first posted here in August 2008, I have a question…
You have posted often in recent months regarding Steve. You apparently recognize his style. So, in your opinion, is Steve and WahineSoftballFan the same person, or is he just coincidentally named Steve?
Yep, same person no doubt. I would lurk a bunch on CL’s blog and Steve was relentless in his “comments” regarding Mafua. I read things and see patterns. His criticism and his way of stating things is exactly the same. People have a certain style in their tone. It was pretty simple to find him out. Each name that posts more or less has the same tone and style. Steve’s just stands out a lot more, is very galvanizing, and as stated–not communicated well. I have said some negative things regarding Steve/WSF and a lot of it is from frustration. Yeah, I admit, I am still young and immature.
Blog post #319 from a few nights ago really put things into perspective though. I understand that I have been a bit immature in my comments and I need to chillax.
You can’t help those who don’t want to be helped.
Well, no point in sticking around then…
why is everyone so concerned about opinions? that is so cult-like and juvi, not to mention being provinsional and miopic. we dont all think alike or agree….big deal. life for me would be boring if we all looked alike and thought the same and perspective became predictable….geez, what brain horror!
ST,
Maybe giving us some football scoops will cool you down…no?
Like “huh” said in #94 above…
You really think no one knows who you are? People see you and ask around if anyone knows who you are, and someone’s bound to come up with a name… You already described yourself and where you sit in the stands. One plus one always equals two. I mean, as soon as we showed up at RWSS and headed to some open seating, someone said, “There’s Steve”. I didn’t even have to ask! It was almost as if we came from Michigan specifically to see who you were!
Opinions are like a$$ holes, everyone has one. But when you single out student/atheles that’s a no no. These kids are playing their hearts out for all of us and the 808.
This is all getting pretty redundant and ridiculous and tiring.
mih – I like redundant things…steak, oxtail soup, alaskan king crab, butterfish, sashimi, roast pork, egg over easy over rice with hamburger patties smothered with gravy, beer, and sleep.
Yep, small island.
A parent told a Tsaiko
And that was that.
anyone see the george mason/nova game? classic madness…
homey, understand your feelings.
however, u r still talkin apples n oranges and i say that with all due respect.
being a former college athlete i dont support player ridicule, but others are different. you should be on other sites across the nation–it is quite common and comes with the territory. again, it is a matter of style and personality, sometimes–rules govern–very thin line.
look at boise state after they loss the game to nevada this year by 2 blown fgs. they needed protection for their kicker. it can get out of hand, but if it is made as expression without threat–it is hurtful but tolerated on most fan forums.
we just had a recent us sup ct decision which allowed protesters to demonstrate against a fallen soldier at his funeral under the first amendment. that really pissed-off america, but tolerance and free speech defines our country.
i wouldnt compare WSF to those nuts by any stretch. i believe some on this blogsite just want total agreement and are too immature to extend tolerance to those that differ.
That is as much at issue here as wsf’s stringent critcism.
#6 Michigan defeated #9 Arizona 8-0 in the Judi Garman this afternoon at Fullerton
Pretty soon his picture will be all over facebook because he says the same things during the games and is pissing off some photographers…
So let’s just focus on the SUPPORT for UH Athletics side, shall we?
169 days ’til kickoff.
what’s with the opinions?
#161, you mean like all the irrelevant babble that goes on incessantly betw cult-posters throughout the day talking about fuud, kids, weather, diet, health, rhumatism, asthma, glucoma, diabetes, etc, ad nauseum. Once, i counted 100 posts by four, just registering a number count until they reached 300. some of you ignore your own boorish habits, it is so embedded.
look, not all lurkers are dumb-minded. they know what’s goin on here.
so, allow some space for others to post without a back-handed slap of disapproval.
Go SoftBows!
Go BaseBows!
Go VolleyBows!
Go PoloBows!
Go UH!
And let’s go pool picks! 🙂
We were doing just fine when we talked about football recruiting. Originally, I thought this site was only about Hawaii Warrior football. Men’s basketball have their own website by Dayton which is very good. The other sports, I can live with reading the papers in the Star Advertiser. All the non sports stuff I can do without also. It’s kinda got out of hand. Stick to Hawaii Warrior football and I’ll be berry, berry happy!
Opinion noted! 🙂
Steve = WahineSoftballFan = hawaiiansun = warriorsun
bwhahahahaha
anyone have practice reports?
Justin Alo’s former teammate at berkeley high, Jalen Rosales, looks like a good get at 6-3, 235. versatile baller, he could play DE or OL. Rosales can block and is a motor on D.
According to Sportsbow, hawai’i has offered.

Bwhaha=juvi +cult.
Let me check the IP for sock puppets …………… wait, where am I?
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/03/18/report-titus-young-only-a-third-rounder-on-most-draft-boards/
“Hawaii wide receiver Greg Salas is rising. A slot receiver prospect, Salas could reportedly be drafted as early as the second round.”
bwhahaa,
hawaiiansun=warriorsun, yes, by mistake. thanks, i made the correction, it was not intended.
🙂
derek – most of the regulars around here are fans of multiple UH sports. I post about men’s vb because ST is the beat writer for that sport. We also feel comfortable talking about other subjects here because we’ve met each other in real life.
BTW, ST covered softball last year for the HA.
I respect you opinion warriorsun, but my apples and oranges deal with Steve and his treatment of Student athletes here in Hawaii. I don’t participate or read any mainland blogs and the rants about their student athlete. I care about those that I support. We can all agree to disagree but when one crosses a line that is against my beliefs I will let it be known.
That is why I invited Steve to meet and discuss his issues and resolutions. He has not responded to date.
Be back later…
Na Wahine takes on USC in Water Polo this evening at 6 p.m. at the DKAC on campus.
Derek — please send me an email… if you are the Derek that’s been around here 3 years and cruised Alaska. stevem.hnl (at) gmail
All right, Salas! Keep it going!!!
Whomever we get to fill the receiver pukas will need great hands. Can’t afford dropped passes at any time during this important season! And, we’ll need a solid line to start off with too.
Let’s go, Warriors!!! Getting all excited again, every time ST posts news of what you guys are up to!
Sports is about participation, effort, and sportsmanship…We should applaud our athletes and their efforts NOT diss them in a public forum. NONE of us are coaches (some think they are), but true fans, so let’s do our part in supporting our team.
Yes, let’s get back to talking about UH Football & Basketball…
Mahalo, Liz, for that bit of info! Looks like some of the hyped guys from bigger schools were just that… hyped! Lately, our former receivers have been showing the whole country what we’re really about! I love it!
Didn’t that make you feel a whole lot better ST?
Good to read JHT is doing well at corner. I hope that the secondary can build some chemistry going into the the first game in the upcoming season. I think that the o will need some time early on to gel as a unit.
Go Na Wahine.
I love the way the blog corrects itself.
Thanks for the practice updates, ST!
GO, WARRIORS!
Happy Aloha Friday, Tsaikos. Catching up on the reading, and wow…I was beginning to hear voices in my head. Thanks for all the FB updates, ST. Let’s go Rainbow Wahine against Cal today. Hope the men’s volleyball team can stick it to the Beach too.
ST: Thanks for the football updates.
” … • The offensive line had its ups and downs. At one point, head coach Greg McMackin decided to coach the line, emphasizing an aggressive “punch” — the thrust block — during passing drills…. ”
I was never a fan of the “two-hand push block” technique – it’s “PASSIVE”. I like the
old-fashined way of blocking – get after ’em – hit ’em with your shoulder, your elbow, your
body, your helmet – HIT ’em. Glad that at least Coach Mac is trying to get those guys
to be aggresive.
This softball thing is all mental folks. Read this fine article by Karlene Sugarman, M.A.Sports Psychology Consultant.

warriorsun:March 18th, 2011 at 9:37 am
Papa Leahy called it an epidemic and Lori Santi said it was contagious.
The two were the K5 team covering the wahine DH at Wahine Softball Stadium last night. They both were referring of course, to the slumping wahine bats and 26 strikeouts in the 2 DH losses to BYU and Iona yesterday in which Hawaii was shutout over a combined 20 innings.
WSF has been steadily vocal on this issue and has stated the obvious many times and bc he was bullied for expressing his opinion he stood his ground against a culture of scorn, intimidation and vindictiveness designed to ridicule, discredit and silence his expression.
To the point where Stephen Tsai, the resident blog-guru suggested by unsubstantiated heresay that WSB was mentally-ill.
Kind of smacks of what is happening in Japan at the Fukushima Nuclear Plant as the crisis deepens. Officials lie, deny, deceive their own and spin to downplay the severity of this tragic event involving the melt-down of the Fukushima nuclear reactors.
Who are they protecting?
certainly not their very own or the global community. They have lost credibility.
Ditto with the ban on the wahine crisis.
There is a batting melt-down occuring on wahine team 2011.
And Denial, censor, mean-spirited attempts to quash legitimate opinion wont remove the crisis or hold accountable those who are responsible.
The demeanor in which legitimate view is handled and perceived on this blogsite is reprehensible. Stop the bullying and cult intimidation!
There…that’s better!
Go Wahine!
Go Wahine!
Go Wahine!
homey-
😆
re: #176 Actually, Alo is from Carson High in SoCal not Berkeley. I think they visited UH on the same weekend, but not teammates. If I remember correctly, I think he committed to Army.
Everybody has a god given right to be who they want to be — just like everybody has a god-given right to ignore people who are irritating.
BIK
Yes DPK? Beer run? I’m going now. BBL
Yes, UH men take game 1 from Long Beach State, 25-21.
Go Warriors!
1 down 2 to go!
Yea, VB’s!!!
ST, why do you even bother with WSF? He is poisoning this blog to the point that it is worse than anything that goes on at WSN – and that’s saying a lot. WSF is just picking fights and agitating people on purpose. He has no inherent right to do so. Boards and blogs need to be moderated. Let him carry on his spiel on WSN if he would like to try. If there was a place for him, it is there. It’s the “realist” board 😉
Traff:
We’re compiling our case and will soon be taking action.
This could be avoided, but alas, someone lacks impulse control.
ST: 🙂
Shucks, match tied at 1…c’mon guys!
I like the fact John Hardy-Tuliau is locking down that cornerback position, I hope he holds it down that is one guy that always needs to be on the field making plays. Glad to see Kamalani Alo making some noise of his own as well, but what about his sidekick Aulola Tonga?
Yes, folks, if things do not change in the next 24 hours, there will be some actions taken to assure the harmony of the blog.
People can still make whatever points they feel they need to make, but if those points cannot be delivered in a respectful and concise manner, there will be changes.
One way or another, civility will be restored.
This I promise.
And by the way, we’re only talking football or basketball the rest of the night.
Let’s show some impulse control.
Thanks.
So is anybody’s March Madness brackets small kine hammajangz with all the upsets happening lately. Frikkin Coach Pitino and Louisville killed me. Anyway, as long as my DUKE boys go all the way again then it’s all good…
Now that’s what I’m screaming, keep that pimp hand strong and lay the smack down…
Oh, we can talk food and family, too.
Just because I say we can. And I’m in charge.
If people don’t like it, tough.
Thanks.
food or fuud, whatever, I love it!
THANK YOU ST…I truly look forward to returning to a “positive” forum and exchange of ideas. All this negativity and trash talking is really putting a damper on UH Sports in general.
Howdy from Honolulu!
Thanks for the MVB update, PP!
Laters…
Football…Hmmm…Aside from Spring Ball, I’m really looking forward to seeing the Gregory kid, as I hear he’s the “real deal” running back we’ve desired. If he’s anywhere close to Alex Green, it will be fun times at Aloha Stadium.
By the way, does anyone know where the UDub v. UH game will be played? I heard it will not be at Husky Stadium due to repairs. How do we get tickets?
Allen Sampson at wideout??? I know he got speed but I would like to think he’s more suited for a slotback role… I would like to see D-Bright or Cecil out there alongside Pollard. What the hell happened to Malcolm Lane too? In any case how is Bryant Moniz looking? I hope he has a monster year and gets some Heisman love like Colt did. It’s amazing how our offense was straight gaining yards like crazy and yet still got peeps complaining that our offense wasn’t all that. Anyway, to think Coach Rolo had the offense rolling and yet didn’t even maximize the offenses full potential. I hope he lets Moniz unleash the fury this year and break his dayum record cause Coach Rolo knows he could’ve broken it if he hadn’t pulled him out of the game…
I don’t want to drag this out any more than necessary, but here’s the deal: I’m getting up early to cover football. Couple of my kids are traveling on the Mainland so I’m trying to track that they’re OK. I’m trying to monitor volleyball on the radio. And this is the anniversary of my father’s death.
And through all of this, I have to be a peacemaker over … softball?
Are you frickin’ kidding me?!?
Yes, I get the team isn’t hitting. We all get that. We’re all educated. And slumps aren’t always good things.
But is this worth losing our minds and good manners?
So knock it off. I’m not in the mood for this crap.
So, how’s everybody doing?
I keep hearing the UH-UDub game will be at Qwest Field, just like 2 years ago. Flights on Hawaiian into Seattle that weekend and out of Vegas on the 18th are very pricey, if available.
Bowwar,
I too am curious about Gregory, wasn’t he rated like in the top 50 running backs in the nation during high school? As long as he can block I’m pretty sure Coach Rolo will unleash his talents just like he did Alex Green this past year…
Tsai,
I guess that comes with the territory. You have a successful blog with lots of comments. Occasionally, it gets hostile. But I am glad you are on it and can straighten things out.
We’re doin’ OK, ST. 😎
#198 – Great! Made my day!
Gigi:
Thanks, but I’d rather not have to be the behavior police. This is Hawaii. We’re all good people. We’re all smart. But sometimes we just need to take a deep breath. Life is short. Enjoy the moments.
OK, I”m going back to monitoring volleyball. I’m like eight plays behind.
Pauoa Boy: I’ll check on the Quest Field deal…That’s the same rumor I’ve heard. It’s actually better to get hotels, etc. if its Quest field versus Husky Stadium.
How is Lister doing? You never really hear anything about the kid in the hunt for playing time at running back. It’s too bad Te’o decided to quit football, as that kid would have been a prototype back for our offense.
ST: I’m feeling alot better not hearing about the softball team…Let them play and hopefully, do well. If they lose, sobeit, I’m sure they’re putting in the effort both by the players and coaches….So…Leave them alone! Cheer for them, yes!
Love it!
Go Warriors!
Go Wahine!
Sorry, but that was for all sports!
Cheeehooooooo!
Curious as to what the scoops are on all those highly recruited players from past years that never made it back to UH yet… like the JC guys? Reason I’m asking is cause I see alot of our Hawaii boys here at A-Dub walking around and wonder if Coach is still in contact with them. Jesse Williams seems like we lost out on him as he’s heading to Alabama. Chad Lopati, Benson Ma’afala, T.J. Alofipo, and Zach Quines I see all the time. Plus there are some other guys here too like Isaiah Iuta, Luke Spencer, Nate Bartley, all Hawaii boys…
The only thing I like about Wahine Softball is Kelly Majam.
Food for thought. The blog that started off as a Warrior football blog has morphed and is ever changing. He who has the control can do whatever he so desires. Lead it wisely for there are many positives.
Haven’t seen ST this angry in a while.
Can I come out to play? Don’t know if its safe.
Well, I gotta admit: this blog is far more interesting than dusting and vacuuming the hale.
Volleyball Warriors beat Long Beach State to move into a tie for third place in the MPSF.
Of course you may play papajoe2. You have impulse control.
Yea, VolleyBows!!!
Not an Expert — ST’s blog started to morph after Blog Party 1 (Dec 2006) and became you see today by mid-April 2006. We are in the corresponding month-day time frame now, which is why I have been doing the “Blast from the past” comment quotes the last couple weeks. Those were the formative months. The first wave Tsai-ko cast was assembling then–and note they are still here today.
Then the blog came close to dying. But ST resurrected it . This happens between now and mid-April. I might not share that… you gotta buy a book in a few years. 👿
Needless to say, there is little we haven’t seen before as things are eerily in cycles. Not an Expert — I know you have been here since at least late 2007, so have seen this. Please come out and introduce yourself….if not at games, come to the April 16 Karaoke Call. Same for everyone else who have been here for a long time and are lurking today!
Thanks ST, whatever that is.
ST, need sum chocolate truffel mochi?????
Yay! Finally in a hotel with roadrunner speeeeedd internet.
WOW is all I got to say about today’s blog. I normally don’t read the blog from the beginning but today made it an interesting read.
Hope all is well with everyone in Hawaii.
Nice remodeling job.
Good evening Tsaiko Nation !
MAN I am lost for words what is going on here. I would of never dream the Warrior Beat could ever get like this. Mr. Tsai I am TRULY SORRY for what is happening here and I know you being a GREAT gentlemen and OUTSTANDING writer will get through this as you have WONDERFUL posters who know you are the real deal and GRATEFUL that this blog was created by you for the sole purpose to support HAWAII ATHLETICS !
I would hope that all the NEGATIVTY will finally stop and ALL of us can just understand one thing that you are HAWAII and you stand for ALOHA at all times ! Reading all this negativty makes you like the mainland fakers and takers that I have to deal with on a day to day bases here in Los Angleles and you are better, WAY better then that !
Come on good people of wonderful polynesian hospitality let’s put our negative words away and SUPPORT Hawaii not tear them down. I am a former OLD Rainbow Warrior and very PROUD of each and every one of you for your LOVE to your CULTURE, CHILDREN and BEAUTIFUL ISLANDS !
All of you CARE or you wouldn’t be here. Freedom of speech I do understand but let’s not ATTACK each other personally or demean one’s character. I ADMIRE and RESPECT you so much as each and every one of you have so much INTELLIGENCE that it is just AWESOME to read your posts as I learn so much here from some OUTSTANDING intelligent people !
Peace to all of you and good will for who and what you represent HAWAII !
SIMPLY THE BEST, BETTER THEN ALL THE REST !
Please keep the info flowing about this!
Meanwhile, song contest.
Howzit Tsaikos!
Never seen ST so po’d.
Congrats to the volleyBows!!
And my Hoyas go down in flames… 🙁
Mr. Tsai, when you come to LA on the 31st, lunch or dinner is on me !
I will personally come by and pick you up in my sky convertible roadster and
we will blast the CAZIMERO brothers all over Los Angeles !
FIRST CLASS sir as that is who and what you are FIRST CLASS !
MAHALO for all that you do for ALL of us here on the Warrior Beat !
Man I lay off the blog a couple days and all hell breaks loose. So what’s the guy’s name? I missed it…:)
I kid because…basically I’m immature and we all going to die one day so I believe in having fun and not letting anyone spoil me fun.
Stephen: sorry to hear about your Pop. He raised a very good man. I’m sure he was very, very proud of you, even though you went to Roosevelt like my mom. That’s all we can really do, try and make our parents proud of us. You did it.
And I agree w/Cliff, as usual. Thanks for all you do for this blog Mr. Tsai.
Peace out.
Manoa Mist…what’s up!? Have a great game tomorrow.
Congratulations to the volleyball Warriors…way to go. Looks like it’ll be a crazy couple of weeks coming up in the MPSF.
Happy belated birthday to the escape-artist, Esme, whose catch-phrase name was popularized on this blog as she pops in and out of the blog. You go, girl!
ST ~ I have some pictures of the players who showed up at the Aloha Festival last weekend. I’ll have to download them & send them to you manana since I’m pretty wiped out today.
Happy birthday, Carl.
Night all!
Here is a football link. JJ talks about Bess and how he went from a rough childhood to starring in the NFL.
http://thefinsiders.com/podcasts/june-jones-smu-head-football-coach/
Manoa Mist as always I thank you !
Good night good folks as 12:00 midnight is steadily approaching. Time
change ahead has me 3 hours in front and the sand man is calling.
Peace to all of you and remember “to err is human, to forgive is devine”.
ALOHA !
Interesting thing about the BYU/Gonzaga game tomorrow
If BYU wins, that gives the MWC $1.44 mil…but BYU won’t get a penny of that since they are leaving the conference.
If BYU loses, Gonzaga will make the WCC $1.44 mil…and BYU will get an equal share with all the other WCC teams when they join the WCC in a few months. Every game that Gonzaga wins afterwards will make the WCC $1.44 mil per win.
So, for people that hate BYU (like many of the fans of the schools left behind in the MWC), what do they cheer for? They want BYU to lose, but that costs them a *lot* of money. Plus, BYU *makes* money if they lose.
Both the WAC and Big West were 1-and-done in the NCAA tournament…not much money for either school. If BSU, Nevada, and Fresno get equal shares when they join the MWC, that will be a significant amount of revenue. The MWC will be around $700k to $800k per school per year from NCAA tournament revenue while the Big West will be around $200k per school per year.
The team that RGM played for last year in the CFL just traded for a player to take the returner position. I hope that RGM can get a good spot in the CFL next season, but the spots are running out right now.

Welcome home Slugger! See what happens whenever you leave town?!
We need a get together to download your travel report. It’s apparent you were having way too much fun, while ST had some ninny getting on our nerves and threatening legal action!
ST – first, my heart goes out to you and Brother Mike on your father’s anniversary. Cherish the memories. Continue to Rest in Peace, Mr Tsai.
Secondly, i’d like to thank you for not only being the beat writer for UH football and men’s volleyball, but also for your efforts and dedication with producing the Warrior Beat, daily!
Lastly, prayers and safe travels for your children as they journey across America.
God bless you and Wena!
Shalom!!
Just finished watching/singing along with the students of KS-Kapalama. Very inspirational song contest.
Shout out to Bulla, Pride, DPK, Rob25, Ronnie and any of the neighbor island Tsaiko’s who attended the Schools. Let’s put our voices together at the Karaoke Kall that SteveM has planned next month.
football: looking forward to the fall camp. so many talented guys brought in to compete immediately. (drools).
sub 4.5 receivers, sub 4.5 corners/safeties, two big and fast running backs, big and did i say fast lb’s/de’s. (more drooling)
yes, we have certainly stuck to the philosophy of bringing speed and lots of it. (now dribbling)
Kekoa:
Two traditions that I love about Kamehamaha are the song contest and the physical-fitness test. There’s something to be said that every graduate has met the fitness test.
Welcome home, Slugger!
Congrats to the KS-Kapalama songsters!
basketball: first half will be back and forth. second half the bigs take over. vander and famous amis will dominate the post. joston will come in play serious, tough, focused, and within his abilities and score double digits in relief.
miah will take the pressure off zane who will then score twenty points because usf will have to focus on miah’s dribble drives.
trevor will bang. trevor will keep banging on defense.
rainbow warriors as the gibber calls em will advance with a 9pt victory.
st: tough is good.
food: how’s your diet’s going?
basketball: trevor wiseman was a high scoring guy in high school. interesting how he has sacrificed his offensive game to focus on being the stopper on defense to find early minutes and now becomes a starter.
pretty good team player for a freshman.
al, i think they call it game maturity or experience.
j thomas apparently is still giving it a shot, so i think he will start to be a force in this game.
al, agree on da warriors for 2011-12. speed, size, and talent is being upgraded big time and it will generate a lot of fan enthusiasm and bring back the crowd. know times are hard now and future is not that bright, but da warriors will be part of the new shinig light of good times ahead.
#269 – I don’t know that much about basketball, but I enjoy watching Wiseman. He plays really hard and hustles after the ball. Can’t wait for tomorrow night.
The Hoya Saxa falls to VCU, as in Virginia Commonwealth University.
basketball (again); next year we reload and will be loaded.
we lose famous amis, yup, tough shoes to fill.
we lose hiram the forever senior. his maturity had a lot to do with our success.
we lose the future wwe champion, big bad kurtz the hurts.
yup, that’s all folks.
expect vander, joston, to be the most improved next year.
zane drain (as in treys) johnson to be the leader of the pack.
miah will come off the hawaii bowl much better prepared and he will have his outside shot.
enter big bird rozitis to make an impact.
bobby and dom will pack an extra 15 lbs.
bo barnes will come in confident and will give us the one-two treyland punch.
then, along come the new guys.
ronnie stevens will contribute as he grows into a d1 big.
gerry blakes will lit it up and have serious minutes towards conference play.
dillon biggs will be a big time big with his high flying circus act.
michael the rest of the story harvey is the sleeper of this class, this jc swingman will be runing up and down the court.
there’s a good chance that we will land another pg before april signing day. apparently we have so many recruits going for what seems to be only one last scholie.
but you never know, because we could land up with not one more but two more guys. besides a pg, with either a big or a pure shooter. i suspect the latter rather than former.
Win tickets for the 2011 BYU or Fresno St. games:
http://www.nakoa.org/?p=1047
methinks we could see more two platooning next year and gibber will run his version of the run n gun. of course this would be fueled by more full court press.
yah. whitey.
inspite of tough economic times…university of hawaii sports is always a great relief from the day’s stresses.
trevor wiseman would make for a great tight end.
pp…and her gang should sit behind the usf bench. they could inflict more pain that way.
Well WSF looks like you and your sock puppets will be gone soon. So where will you post now? Getting banned from the other Hawaii boards makes your posting days numbered…
Ha, al! The gang better be drowned out by the sellout (or nearly soldout) crowd tomorrow night. I hope those lime green shoes come back…those were awesome.
was watching the college of southern idaho jc playoff game from the other day. that team is loaded with talent.
interesting that ther is a brazilian frosh center and an aussie big on that team as well. they probably have to do the two years before being eligilble.
dariu smith the former uconn pg reminds me of tom henderson. average outside shot but can take it to the hole in a blink of an eye. passes are crisp and is always looking for the open. the guy enjoys playing defense with his lighning quick hands. at 6’2″ he is a big pg with incredible handles. and, oh yah, we are on his radar.
csi also has two smurf guards who are being heavily recruited elsewhere as well.
pp…those lime greenies will be on the court per gibber. soldout is good.
hopefully 7k in the stands tomw.
they should donate 1k tickets to the military.
it seems that mbb, wvb, and da warriors are looking at very good futures and beyond. you can feel the domino effect for the other sports as the mbasebows, wsb, wbb. there are lots of room for improvements and may need the chancellor’s help to get all the alministrative side of athletics in good working order. right now it seems they are not working as one, but using their positions like individual teams.
get big game tomorrow, so got to get my r&r for that. have a great evening.
if it were up to me i’d have 5k tickets available to the active duty military for every football game. afterwhich, give them a 25% discount for any tickets after the first 5k is sold.
and for basketball at least 1k in tickets per game add a 25% discount thereafter.
developing not only good community relationships but a solid fanbase that could help establish a continental fanbase after these deserving young men and women exit the active duty status and return home.
umm… after the first 5k is given away is what i meant.
imagine 10k+ military folks at each footbal game.
or how about 2-3k at each mbb game?
coordinate with each branch for the military appreciation day football game and have the mwr dept of each jointly hold a huge free tailgate at richardson field for them.
could be done…and they have funds.
whitey will be at jack’s for his breakfast of champions tomw am.
On this day (March 18) in the first year (2007) of The Warrior Beat blog … a drop to 137 comments as ST announces the new plans for football season ticket pledges and renewals starting tomorrow–even withoiut a complete schedule yet. No night shift as las vegas once again notes LTUHF is missing. gigi-hawaii sends her letter to UH president, Chancellor, and the Board of Regents. But the general mood is lighter and the spotlight falls on bulla…
Of course, bulla’s personna is larger-than-life.
pssst…Is that enough of a disclaimer? 🙄
UH-UW game will be played at Husky Stadium on 9/10. Husky stadium is slated for major renovation after the season ends this year. When they re-open they will open the season against Boise St. I think it was in 2013.
al, have to take rain check cause i will be going early to the course to set up our club championship and new year renewal. will be at the course till late afternoon, but will check to see if you still here. maybe have dinner or something if you need to catch a flight later.

We got ya back, Mr, Tsai! ;0
nytal! order has been restored to the blog.
see some of you at the bb game. might be able to make it to an sb game too.
I wonder if SteveM is going to post today’s blog two years from now. Will this blog even be here two years from now?
We had a close call today, folks. Glad the main issue has been resolved: Restore civility to the beat!
Al,
I don’t understand your reasoning behind giving so many free tickets to the military. I thought they already have a lot of perks and make a decent salary compared to some kamaaina.
make it 3
gigi…????
are you in the middle east risking your life?
are you in the pacific waters near the orient standing by in case of a north korean uprising?
are you sitting in a boat off the persian gulf?
are you just back from being deployed at all of the above?
are you…just for example.
or are you sitting at home watching your 50″ tv sipping on your corona all the while your roomba is push the dust around?
i suppose one needs to have either been in the military or is closely related to one who has experienced a wartime situation to appreciate our military.
ask kekoa, bg, sailor blue…for starters.
Al,
That was a little harsh huh? She just asked.
BTW, I have had personal friends deployed to Iraq and Kuwait. One now is a drill seargant and the other is stationed on the East Coast.
And yes I agree with giving military discounts.
RE: #298
gigi — no. This is same-o, same-o as far as the trolls are concerned. Did you miss last year’s all-star troll? or the one before? Heck, it might be the same guy. 😐 I don’t know and I don’t care.
How long will the blog go on? I don’t know. I imagine as long as ST wants. No track record to judge by. How long will your gigi-hawaii blog last? Blogs were relatively new 5 years ago–and a lot more perish than survive.
As an Educational Technologist, I think the Warrior Beat is unique. It’s first year (actually 9 months) took it on a different path from all other blogs . This was shaped by the personality of the blog host and the unique collection of bloggers who attended Blog Party 1–that really took it down a different road.
Tsai’s patience, tolerance, and sublime sense of humor made this blog… and he didn’t dump us when he should have back then (a story i would like to hear one day). Those who were there stick by him today… and the blog survived and went on. Note all the people you met personally back then are still here blogging today.
Anyway, the blog battle ensign is flying over the blogship right now. There are many people here who do not know what it means yet…but that just shows there are more and more people still coming aboard everyday.
sorry…didn’t mean for it to come off harshly. just passionate for what our military does for us while the nation is asleep.
one advantage for us tomw night against the usf dons could be our loud and raucous crowd. the dons’ arena is 4,800 at capacity. against idaho i don’t think 3k attended and the crowd noise does not echo throughout like the ssc.
Good morning!
ok…then i better make some breakfast.
so i had been using trend micro security…however, the renewal fee is $80. any suggestions???

On Tuesday evening, we had an empty row in the lower bowl in Row 9 Section HH. Just Protector, DrDoc and me. Come join us and make a little noise this evening.
We left The Les at the bottom of the third inning last night – not my idea of great baseball with UH’s score heading towards the double digits that early in the game – so I headed back to the office to do some paperwork.
As for the nutburger, pleased point him out to me later on today.
Niteall. Whoa!!! I have to be up in four hours. Good thing I can get by on so little sleep.
For antivirus I use Avast home version (free). For internet security I use common sense. LOL
Time to find the pillow. Goodnight all.
Oh, also use zone alarm and spybot. All free…
One more…I also use a free register cleaner but you gotta be careful so you don’t delete something you may need.
Now it’s official…zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Good morning Tsaikos!
Al, if you’re still up: I can’t help you on the software price, they all seem to be about the same…but I had trend micro and got tired of how long it took to load updates. I now use Norton and have no complaints.

Mahalo for checking on Husky Stadium construction Derek. The road trip planning continues!
Hi 99club.
BTW, since they are related, I have appended the Washington game Tsai-ko logistics/parties to the main Tsaiko-Vegas page…
http://home.roadrunner.com/~smurashi/tsai-kos/las2011.html
Please share your info to help all attending organize tailgates, cattle calls, tickets, etc.
Pomai is out sick and I would have continued to stay away from the blog due to the false accusations and blatant personal character assination/defamantion of character of UH coaching staff and former student-athletes being named in conversations that NEVER happened in an attempt to further destroy the reputation of said individuals.
It a PATHETIC excuse when other bloggers tie in our softball program with one individual’s abuse of the freedom of speech especially when other bloggers admit they never resoected UH softball as a legitimate athletic institution at the University of Hawaii and only football and basketball deserves his attention.
However those are his views and these are mine.
Anyway, now that the unnecessary name calling and lies are apparently over, I can at least continue to post without having to read the babblings of non softball realated hate propagada disguised t appear as legitimate softball discussions.
i have norton on my desktop. no problems with the newer version.
i’ve had trend micro on my laptop for several years and it has kept it clean. but, now the cost are getting steep or i am getting cheap.
tks for the info.
Al — I concur with homey. Most anti-virus stuff only protect you from the last known/discovered virus or variant. Even your latest update is only for what was discovered and countered weeks ago, then distributed to you. What’s in the wild or being analyzed can zap you. Might as well go for low price, and use what homey recommends. I would. Doesn’t Road Runner offer a free one?
I shouldnt blog while driving. Too many missing letters.
kazz…that was kind of harsh?
(hahaha)
However ST has better things to do than babysit so when the crap comes filtering back I’ll disappear and ignore due to the nature of my situation with regards to the subject manner at hand being spit upon in such an unnecessary manner.
stevem…yes rr does. i used to use it before. but, everytime it would ask you if this was site okay’d by you and stuff. quite often i deleted usable parts. so i just gave up.
anyway my keyboard on laptop is giving me problems as certain keys are “insensitive” this slowing me down or ultra sticky. i pulled the keys, air pressured it. maybe three years is good.
Al,
Kill em with words. 😆
zzzzzzzzzzzz
yah…you on a roll. okay, i’m down for the count.
Al — you eating while blogging on your laptop again?
If you think it’s something in your keyboard, try this before replacing it….but be prepared to buy a new one… Remove the keyboard and soak it in water a few hours. Do not use cleaners or chemicals. Remove and drip dry (can air spray if you want). Dry overnight.
good night…
al,
what time for breakfast?
SteveM-
For Washington game, arriving on the 7th via Sienna Van and staying here:
47.10907, -122.5849.
Morning, gang! Glad to see things calm back down again!
Hope Pomai gets better soon!
#310… SteveM… Eh, I was here yesterday/last night!
I like Al’s #288. We are in a unique position in the islands to build a great nationwide fan-base through our military. We should take advantage of that! It will pay dividends in the future.
#299… Gigi… Although I’ve never been stationed back home, I don’t know what the comparison would be with paychecks earned by kama’aina, but… upon getting married and living off-base, my Army paycheck never seemed to be adequate, since I never drew any Cost-Of-Living-Allowances.
99club #329:
Road trip?
ST,
Thanks for putting your foot down with regards unwelcomed blabberings?!
Now I can feel like many others that I can tune-in to this blog site for constructive conversation(s) bout our football team and UH sports in general, with a kinder view we have been raised to respect in a very different way than most blogs across the nation. Mahalo plenty, as they say.
good morning tsaikos. up early, but got to get ready to go in a short while. may my friend, sunshine, bring much warmth and good health to all of you.
duffer, you up early.
I have returned, been down with the flu and it’s is kicking my butt, being old doesn’t help much, when I was younger this might have made feel bad but still make it to work and play, now it bed, toilet, bed, toilet, drink more water then back to bed, what a bummer.
As far as the blog is concerned, it should be a place of relaxation where people can get together an talk about the sports they like, agree and disagree in a civil manner nothing wrong with that. But as Kazz said when it get to a point of character assassination or worst then I’m outa here, life is to short.
Good morning, gang! Morning, whitey!
#306 ~ al, USF plays in a gym named for Bill Russell on their campus. I remember many a game there. Saw a bunch of alumni at the WCC Tournament in LV, but they weren’t as loud as the Gonzaga crowd. I’ll be there cheering for both sides.
Morning, Pomai! Get well soon.
morning slugger and pomai. spacecraft is ready, so see you all later.
Great Morning All!
Big day for UHAD in Manoa.
But first things first.
HiHo…..
I’ve seen progression in every post. Your newer posts are simply wonderful compared to your posts in the past. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Wisconsin
Anymore fb pic’s???
“VISUAL PERCEPTION”……..that article and pic by Brian McInnis, on green shoes; I had to do a retake on the picture of the player stringing up his green shoes because directly beyond that, it looked like he was holding up the other player by his tippy-toes?!, “just sayin.”
Good morning, I hope!
If nothing it was a wonderful display of schizophernia.
We all display those tendencies; however, as Mr. Tsai pointed out, we also display impulse control.
As much as he (they) irritated I sure hope he (they) seeks assistance so no one else must suffer more of his (their) behavior.
Thank you, Mr. Tsai!
Good photo of the green shoes! I could not picture them even with the descriptions here and in the articles.
Do they glow under black-light? If so, add some black-light to the SSC during games to give the players that little bit extra.
Go BasketBows!
Come on SoftBows!
Time to awaken the bats!!!
Al, let’s not to forget to mention Pii Minns and Jace Tavita. These guys redshirted a whole year, sat, went to school, practiced, and cheered the team every game on the sideline at home. They are just waiting their turn to contribute in some way. Minns was the State Player of the Year at Kamehameha and first went to Chaminade. Was Ostrowski Player of the Year? Anyway, my point is that Minns stood out, the creme de la creme in Hawaii High School and that he can make big shots. We won a State Championshi and was MVP. He’s good. At 6’3″ and athletic he has a lot of potential. Maybe he put on another 15 to 20 lbs. of mucle. That would be something.
Tavita was a starter at Utah before he transferred to Hawaii. At 6’4″ he provides much needed depth and he has had DI experience under his belt. He’s built and tough. That’s what our teams needs. Toughness. These 2 guys may not be on scholarship, but they are a lot better than the prior walk-on we had during Nash’s era. These guys can play and will complete to get some playing time.
Would it be that Arnold’s Army will have not 2, but maybe 3 platoons/units??????? I like your nicknames, especially about Harvey. Very funny. The way I see it, the bugaboo for this team is free throw shooting. Not very good. During the offseason guys like Miles, Ostrowski, Thomas, etc. need to work on their shot every day to improve. Look at guys that shoot close of 90%. These guys have a rhythm and a technique and is so basic. Players can improve their shooting if they are practicing the proper technique and a routine that works every time. The only guys I trust right now are Barnes and Johnson.
Would like to attend the UW game in Seattle. Unforgettable College Football atmosphere. Need to prepare your okoles for the bench seating, though.
Hoping for a repeat of what happened back in 1973 @ Husky Stadium. UH players were laughed at when they entered the stadium back then. Three hours later, it was the UH team that was laughing. UH-10 UW-7. Levi Stanley played a memorable game, as did Hal Stringert and Jeris White. This was a D-II program at the time.
Dave, I’ve been to Husky Stadium and it’s a great setting, especially when the weather is nice in early fall. Sept. 10 seems to be a very nice time of the year in Seattle and we hope the weather will cooperate. When it gets cooler and rainy, it is not a good feeling watching a game in person. At said, the game I went to was in 1999 when UW played Colorado. Rick Neuheisal was coaching and Marques Tuiasosopo was the QB. Colorado’s coach was Gary Barnett and they had this outstanding kick retuner whose name escapes me right now. It was an exciting game and UW pulled it out, something like 35-28. My son was attending UW at the time as a freshman. UW had an outstanding season, won the PAC 10, and went to the Rose Bowl. Best I can remember, that’s the last time Washington went to the Rose Bowl which is a long time ago. Funny I bring it up right now. We are playing both Colorado and Washington the first 2 games of the season. Maybe I good omen. We’ll be attending the same in Seattle with a lot of our friends, plus we have a lot of high school classmates living in the Seattle area.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
So like i saw your blog and it like totally told me whats up thanks for your input. One love.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Thank you for employing the time and work to write down a little something which is invokinThank you for utilizing the time and effort to jot down some thing so exciting.
