Howzit Tchahng – are you planning to come home for any games next season? I missed meeting you at the Weber State tailgate, which i attended. Aiea Alumni gotta represent!!!

Aloha Kakahiaka!

skeeters wen wake me up… grrr.

Good Morning. Headed to the airport in about 45 minutes. Then it’s on to Boysee!

Hi LizKauai
I owe u a thank U card, geeze i’m so lazy……………..

lv- huh? IOU, brah!

‘k… gonna try sleep somemore…

Thanks, brew! I wish you could be with us in Boise. We have an extra ticket….. sounds like you may be coming down with a cold *cough* *sniff*

He thinks he’s glad we don’t have to share birthdays anymore 😆

When we were growing up, we always had to share a cake on his birthday. Neither one of us liked that much!

Nope…. already tried….they just got bigger chain a bigger gauge chain for me. Too bad it wasn’t a Saturday event. Have a grand b-day pregame, and a superb post-game victory celebration party! 😀 😯 😆

Happy Birthday Ronnie!

I hope that you get an awesome birthday wish tomorrow at the game!

Interesting that ever since they celebrated in the end zone against Florida, Georgia is the most penalized team in D-IA college football. They even seem to have a bigger problem with personal foul penalties than UH has.

Maybe it’s just a coincidence, but probably not. Ever since Georgia’s silliness in the end zone last season against Florida, the Bulldogs have gone from ranking as one of the most disciplined teams in the country to whatever they are now.

Whatever they are now isn’t pretty, by the way. They are the only Division I-A football team in double digits (11) when it comes to the average number of penalties per game. They have more penalties overall than anybody not named TCU (67 to 64). They also have an absolutely ridiculous number of personal fouls (13) after six games.

Nice feature article on Sol.

He enjoyed a successful prep career that hit its stride during his senior year, when he amassed 125 tackles and 9.5 sacks, while being named to the all-league, all-city, all-area and all-region first teams, to the all-state second team and the MVP of the Coliseum League.

For Elimimian, though, those awards could not compare to the moment he signed with the University of Hawai’i to play football. He considers signing with UH his greatest accomplishment as a high school player.

Ironically, he also considers that moment one of his unhappiest.
Elimimian, a devout Christian, says he prayed for direction in choosing which college to sign with. When he felt an urge to attend the University of Hawai’i, he was filled with questions and doubt.

“[Coming to UH] wasn’t the decision that I really wanted, but it was the decision that God had for me,” he said.

Article on the improvement by the Warriors.

After a rough start to the season, the University of Hawaii football team has rebounded with a pair of nice wins.

The Rainbow Warriors beat Fresno State on the road two weeks ago, then handled Louisiana Tech at home last Saturday.

Part of the reason for Hawaii’s success is due to the play of junior quarterback Inoke Funaki. He’s eighth in the league in total offense per game despite not having started every game and he’s thrown five touchdowns.

i’ll also be out in that crisp blue boise air with ronnie, d1 and the rest.
i wonder if Stretch’s vantage point will be better than Stephen’s?? it’ll be definitely more comfortable. Maybe Stephen can switch booths mid game. wait, maybe i’ll pay stretch a visit at halftime.

I thought Purdue was private as well. Like I said, sometimes it isn’t as apparent as you would think. In their facts and figures they claim they are the 26th ranked public university in the nation. They call themselves “state assisted,” whatever that means. They have a resident tuition rate.

I didn’t realize Auburn was public. Or Marshall. Guess I don’t know much.

How’s everybody doing this morning?

Happy Birthday to Ronnie. Hope to see you at the game tomorrow.

Today’s a travel day for me. It’s off to Boise (via Portland). Unfortunately I won’t get there in time for the walk-through (is this open to the public?), and I’ll more than likely be down for the count once I get to my hotel room. I might go hunting for some food, but other than that today is gonna be a travel day. Nothing much planned once I get into Boise.

stretch,
can you warm up boise before we get there? and i don’t mean just the bar stool…

!!!!!!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY RONNIE!!!!!!!
😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
Wishing you a wonderful day and week. Hope you get to have your own cake and eat it too. Hope we get a victory win over the blue boys. Wishing you a safe journey and return.

Hey hey Addahknowsports!!
A very belated birthday wish to you. Hope you celebrated and got your wish.

And happy birthday to Ronnie on her real birthday.

Hi Wena-

Thanks! Good to see you posting. Gotta catch up with you on the school stuff. So when are you gonna make it out to one of our Tsaiko-gates? I think you and the kids would have a blast!

Happy B-Day Ronnie,

You don’t look a day over 29. Have some in “America’s forehead.” I’m sure you’ll make enough noise for entire Warrior Nation. Just ignore all those folks who give you grief. There is a reason why they are bitter. All they got is a blue field while Hawai’i has an entire blue ocean.

Prediction…Warriors 24 / BSU 21

The “Iceman” will seal the game.

One day I plan to make it to one of those Tsaiko-gates. That would be …how many hours in the sun? But I’m sure I’ll have fun with everyone.
Steve was talking to me about the Las Vegas game next year, but I told him that is my sisters 50th birthday. It’s tempting tho.

One more thing- re “crowd control” – cute article about Colt’s starting QB (video version) shushing the crowd on offense…
http://theredskinsblog.com/2008/10/16/video-jason-campbell-quiets-the-crowd-effectively-is-appropriately-auburn/#more-2027

Maybe Vili can teach our fans how and when to to “soaring eagle” as well as “pump it up”!

to to=to do

Liz-
Tent shade sounds good to me. Thanks

Ronnie:

Happy birthday – enjoy!

morning to tsiako country nice morning

doing the office sub thing while staff have morning meeting so whotttttttttah bloging babe while enjoying kofe, scones, malasadas, and ensamadas mmmmmmmmmm

shout out to stretch, steve, cc, djmicho, d1, ronnie and oddah brave tsaiko attending game. dey going represent and cheer their arses off for us. ever stop to wonder about the initials of Boise State? 😮

pause to refresh my kope and hey hey asports

Punchbowl:
Thanks for the welcome yesterday.

Garrette:
Thanks for the news on Funaki.
“Part of the reason for Hawaii’s success is due to the play of junior quarterback Inoke Funaki. He’s eighth in the league in total offense per game despite not having started every game and he’s thrown five touchdowns.”

This looks to be the breakout game for Hawaii. If UH wins this one, all will be well for the rest of the season. Go Warriors!

morning Tsaikos,

Hey Stephen Tsai, where is Graunke in the depth charts and what are the rationale/reasoning?

anyone else going to genji’s tomorrow?

Morning Tsaikos!

Happy Birthday Ronnie!

to the traveling Tsaikos: keep warm, be safe & cheer plenty!

GO WARRIORS!

Poor Ronnie. She’s going to be exhausted on friday night. It takes a lot of work to stand-up 40 times and shout, “it’s another Warrior first down”. Ronnie, remember, “RICE”. Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation for those sore legs. Maybe all of the Tsaikos, no matter where they are watching, should do their part, and do the same excersise. Genji’s, T-Spot, Murphy’s, Bayview, Al’s House, Ige’s, Champions, Eastside Grill, the Shack, Donovan’s skybox, it doesn’t matter. Everyone in unison should stand up and shout, “it’s another Warrior first down”.

Koakane better stay seated though. Usually by the start of the game, he’s already had too much fun and may fall flat on his face if he chooses to participate in this activity.

Good morning Tsai-kos!

Midori – I’d like 5 orders of Evil Twin voodoo to go, please.
4 to put on da blue ponies and 1 for da lolo dat wen damage hubby’s cah yesterday and left. 😡

Kekoa – are da crack Tsaiko Crime Scene Instigators on da case dis am?

Happy Bday to Ronnie

GO WARRIORS, BEAT DA SMURFS

Kekoa. You bettah take your meds, you talking to yourself again?

Stretch- you know she’s getting a good laugh with her friends bck at the station over your demise:

“can’t believe those out of towners from hawayah fell for the, ‘eat here/park there’ ploy again. Works everytime! Haaag gug gug gug gug…”

Happy Birfdey Ronnie! =)

And if I missed any of your birthdays within the last 364 days,

Happy Belated Birthday to All!

Stretch,

go down to a toy store, buy a few smurf dolls, string them up with some twine, and twirl them around your head

when in smurfland, do as the smurfs

Kekoa

I think the smurf turf was fairly recently replaced – like a year or two ago – so it might be a while before the question comes up again. OK, just looked it up and it was replaced in ’02. Interesting that they are on their fifth field surface since the stadium opened in 1970 and the first few were green.

1970 Green (Astro Turf)
1978 Green (Astro Turf)
1986 Smurf (Astro Turf)
1995 Smurf (Astro Turf)
2002 Smurf (Astro Play)

So looks like they will be due for a new surface in the next 2 to 3 years. Time to start lobbying to make them go back to green.

to carify, ST is driving, I am in the back seat. when we picked up the rental car, the white UH flags were immediately flown. only when we parked downtown boise did we take it down.

time for a quick nap before the walk thru later today

M-I-H ~ Hehehehe!…Homegrown, Tsaiko-deliks allow many colors to appear.

“Take a trip and never leave da farm”…Wildwood Weed, Jim Stafford.

Here is a sampling of Jim Stafford for the uninitiated. It goes along with our Rodeo week in Pony land. A little chit-kicker music.

i’ll also be out in that crisp blue boise air with ronnie, d1 and the rest.
i wonder if Stretch’s vantage point will be better than Stephen’s?? it’ll be definitely more comfortable. Maybe Stephen can switch booths mid game. wait, maybe i’ll pay stretch a visit at halftime.

since Stretch will be more comfortable, maybe Stephen can have Stretch draft his report? oh wait……that would be work………….

good morning Tsaiko’s here, there, and in Boise, Idaho.

too bad tomorrow afternoon isn’t a holiday, or is it?

Hawaii 37, Bruised State 35. Hawaii wins by a safety off a blocked punt.

Morning all. Just lurkin today, but had to share a nice name for BSU that I read on the WSN board LOL

Benson State University hahaha..

g-nalo in da hale! Suddenly we see a huge shift in fan support building to the UH side! Just stay out of trouble one more day ladies and gentelmen.

👿 GO WARRIORS! 👿

Beat the Baby Blue Do-Do out of Dem Little Ponies!

Kekoa – #99 – H3 west-bound, not sure of exact location, in da pouring rain. hope dey wen get da buggah on candid camera thru da tunnel.

expat, kekoa,
imagine if we (hawaii) were the ones to make them change their field to the standard green.
imagine the hate and discontent they’d have with us then.

stretch,
i gots me a car flag too. i’ll only fly it when i’m in the car. i don’t dare leave it up when its parked. never can tell what they’d do to it.

kelli,
drink more Green tea and stay warm!

C_C ~ I’m thinking about how we could needle da chit out of them over the removal. Where’s my favorite lawyer? W/Doc, what’s the approach a lobbyist would take? Hmmm…the wheels are turning.

In Portland on a short layover…..

Ronnie: Well yes, of course I’m sitting with you all. How did I forget? I must not have been fully awake at the airport.

Looking at the overcast weather in PDX, it looks like I get to ride on the Wazzu logojet to Boise.

Kind of ironic, eh…..

stephen, stretch,
i bet that meter maid set her timer on her watch for 44 mins. walked over to your car with 2 minutes to go and just counted down the seconds. i bet she even pre-wrote the ticket.
did she smile and laugh evil-like as you walked back to your car?
is this what rival fans do?

Some people are going to Genji’s, but I am not sure about the quality of their tv sets. Perhaps SteveM or one of the other regulars can cue us in.

Others are going to Murphy’s. .

Am checking out BayView Golf Course this afternoon to watch a couple of innings of the AL playoffs.It’s not likely I’m going to be in Kane`ohe tomorrow afternoon, but one never knows.

ESPN1420’s official party tomorrow is at Champion’s, but there might be some folks watching at Ige’s as well as well as Eastside Grill and Big City Diner – all locations

RE the Spam controversy. PETA does not object to animals being used as food sources as long as they are raised and slaughtered humanely. They object to Hormel’s methods in both areas.

There are other reasons to reduce animal flesh consumption to less than 2 lbs a week: The impact on the overall environment stemming from the release of methane gas which contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and global warming; the impact on human health by reducing bad chloresteral & high blood pressure as well as the chances of being diagnosed with diabetes, more than a dozen different cancers including ovariarn & prostate, glaucoma, and arthritis.

Reducing meat consumption to two pounds a week also provides a slow, but steady weight loss over time even if nothing else changes like exercise habits or reduction in consumption of starches & sugar. Studies have shown that reducing meat consumption – not eliminating it – plus preparing it without added fats can help reduce weight by as much as 25 lbs in a year.

Back to sports. GO RAYS!! And, of course, go Wahine and Warriors. Both teams have huge stakes on the line.

Into the blue

Things went downhill when the UH flag he attached to the back-row window fell off and landed on the asphalt.

Yeah… I’m sure it just “fell off”… grrrrr….

oh yeah, I almost forgot…

GO WARRIORS!!!

WHIP THE PONIES!!!
BUST DA BRONCS!!!
SMOOSH THE SMURFS!!!
MASH THE POTATOES!!!
DESTROY THE DONKS!!!
SPANK THE SPUDS!!!
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆

Kekoa:

The way to start the campaign to force Boise to use green turf is to write to the NCAA. Include in the letter a request for information about filing a formal complaint and who can actually do so – fans, coaches, athletic directors, university presidents, etc. Then, once we know how to start the process and who actually has standing, then the next steps can be planned and initiated.

Frankly, I suspect that fans are the ones who are least likely to have standing. If that proves to be the case, then we need to bring in the Athletic Department administration and perhaps someone from the chancellor’s office as well.

Have to go to a meeting and then to watch baseball and then to the Hawai`i International Film Festival this evening. Last night’s documentary about kamikaze pilots was certainly an eyeopener. It’s going to be on PBS sometime next summer so I’ll let folks know when it’s coming up.

Am dropping more copies of the LaTech game in the mail later today. If anyone needs copies of Fresno State & LaTech games or wants a copy of the Boise State game, please let me know.

Kelli – 1 order of sari sari should do it.

howzit homey – i think the comments are under review

thanks everyone for the warning about hanging with the instigator. good thing Rich arrived so I can get away from ST and behave from now on….

time for the walk thru. since no more Ajoe here, I’ll try to take 1000 pictures for him and even try the behind the back shot.

We have begun reviewing comments on most of our blogs before they are made public to ensure our posting guidelines are met. You may experience a delay in seeing your comments posted. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Loa – That doesn’t pertain to ST’s blog.

Nothing is more difficult than the art of maneuvering for advantageous positions.

isn’t that jessica alba movie also called “Into the Blue”??

Loa – you work for A-Joe?

chawan – Don’t go talking smack about Jessica Alba!

I need to get out and take a walk, chawan made me all riled up…

thanks everyone for the warning about hanging with the instigator. good thing Rich arrived so I can get away from ST and behave from now on….

ok, so does Rich look all worn out? understand it took EXTRA effort to finish before his flight?

Happy birthday Ronnie! (For real this time?) 😀

Opportunities multiply as they are seized.

-Sun Tzu

g-nalo – i’m surprised Stretch neva jump on that one

not talking smack, unless you’re talking lip smack’ng good!
i think homey needs to go find a cold shower too.

It doesn’t seem like the blue turf is blue anymore.

Taken from the UH Blogspot…

Tank Q W/Doc. I might as well stir up some chit and write to the NCAA.

jm2375 ~ So this alledged incident took place on the H3. Did you file a report? I do believe we have ways of finding this Bozo-boi.

kazz

sun tzu is that also the name of that new massage parlor on lower main street?

In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory.

Since it’s on ESPN… you could probably just go to Ruby Tuesdays.. or anywhere that they have nice flat screen TVs. Sears?

OR… how about where that old 99 Ranch supermarket used to be near Mapunapuna? Don’t they show ESPN on that big flat screen TV they have in the eating area?

also don’t forget to vote for Inoke

http://www.voteobrien.org/vote.asp

bb,

It’s a gag. It’s still blue. NCAA rules now forbid any other colors except those that have been grandfathered in.. as in BOISE’s Blue… which I think has been copied at one other University somewhere in the East.

g-nalo – i’m surprised Stretch neva jump on that one

he stay busy with media types, university officials, and rainbow dancers. no mo time read this blog………….i guess???

Al – masage on Lower Main, i no catch??? 🙂

g-nalo – What’s a masage? New type of sashimi or fish egg?

g-nalo – What’s a masage? New type of sashimi or fish egg?

its when you go Sun Tzu but shy $40……………i heard……….

Tomorrow’s contest has all the elements of a sporting event in which every single sports-related cliché will be used.

In about 28 hours, regardless of the outcome, we will know what kind of Warriors we really are.

Guys, football is not haaaahhd. If can tackle, can play.

-Cal Lee

Wow Kazz, your keyboard get plenty dark ink!

GO WARRIORS!

Interesting how fans contacting recruits via their MySpace or Facebook pages can be an NCAA violation.

That’s why Meyer reaches out to some of those recruits via online social networks such as Facebook and MySpace. Maybe, he reasons, if a recruit sees that students from a certain school who aren’t associated with the athletic department take the time to initiate a relationship, it might influence that recruit’s decision on where to attend.

“When you follow recruiting, you wish you were the coaches going into the houses and telling kids about the tradition,” Meyer said. If coaches can’t recruit through social networks, he added, “students can do it.”

Innocent as Meyer’s intentions may be, his actions constitute an NCAA recruiting violation, one schools cannot protect against and one the NCAA cannot closely monitor. Meyer is not the lone culprit by any means. Many top football recruits in the class of 2009 contacted for this story said their Facebook or MySpace accounts have been bombarded in the past year by friend requests and messages from fans across the country. Numerous top men’s basketball recruits in the class of 2009 have a following on social networks, as well.

Current students cannot serve as representatives of their schools’ athletic interests and thus are not allowed to contact recruits, according to Stacey Osburn, the NCAA’s associate director of public and media relations. In fact, NCAA rules state that any individual who is known or should have been known by a member of a school’s athletic administration to be “assisting in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes” qualifies as a representative of that institution’s athletic interests. Therefore, any fan with a social networking account could possibly cause a violation, not merely those currently enrolled at a school.

“If a school found out this was going on, it would have to self-report it,” Osburn said. “The NCAA then would look at the situation within reason.”

Interesting discussion about the splits taken by the OL.

This doesn’t always come up, but one of the most interesting games within the game in football are the splits between the offensive linemen. Some teams use a lot of wide splits, with as much as three to even six feet between linemen, while others keep it closer to roughly a foot, or even toe-to-toe. But like everything else in football, what kind of splits you take is informed both by what the defense does and what your philosophy is.

So, the MWC now has 5 bowl tie-ins and the WAC has 3 bowl tie-ins. I hope that the WAC can get another bowl time-in, as having just 3 means that deserving teams will get left out each year.

The MWC’s other bowl agreements are with the Las Vegas Bowl, the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego and the Armed Forces Bowl in Ft. Worth.
The WAC has an agreement with the Hawaii Bowl in addition to the Humanitarian and New Mexico Bowls.

MIH: Yes, 99 Ranch still airs stuff on TV. I’ll be there with my Math Team kids around 5:00, so if you go there, we might run into each other.

Wow Kazz, your keyboard get plenty dark ink!

GO WARRIORS!

INTENSE EMOTIONS DATS WHY.

stevem….two pounds of tanioka’s finest gets you in the door.

Finally arrived in Boise and all checked in to my hotel room and everything.

I was talking to the airport shuttle driver during the ride to the hotel and he was telling me that the officiating crew is staying at my hotel…..about half of them are already here and the rest should be arriving pretty soon.

Perhaps the most interesting thing I saw on the ride to the hotel were these three guys standing at the intersection just before you turn into the hotel. The shuttle driver pointed out to me that those three guys were part of the officiating crew.

One of them was wearing a BRACE on his left knee.

What the hey?????

kazz,
you have more passion than Hawaiian Sun or Aloha Maid!
geev um!

A-House,

I think that the rules are the UH will play in the Hawaii Bowl unless it qualifies for a BCS bowl. I do NOT think there is any chance of UH playing in the Humanitarian Bowl!

Mrs. A-House sent to the doghouse by TChahng and Kekoa-

Sorryeeeeee… had a feeling my “republican” comment would generate some intense emotions. Lately, I tend to blame the Republicans for everything that’s negative in my life…like my plants dying (so what if I only recently started to water them regularly)… and my aching back (was it from lugging 10 lbs. of raw peanuts from Chinatown back to A-House’s office?). Lesson learned the hard way… no more comments mentioning political affiliation. Will you still be my friend…please…

Mrs. A-House – Republicans are sooooo sensitive yeah! 😆

whoosh!

Did a video of the Softball Wahine WAC Champs bracelet ceremony ever get identified? Was there truly NO ONE with a home video? How about a still shot with players and Tsai-kos???

whoosh!

Speaking of political parties, don’t forget to wake up and vote on Nov. 4th. g-nalo, it’s a State holiday! In fact get 3 State holidays this November! Lucky buggah!

g-nalo – or vote absentee then no need wake up

Leon Wright-Jackson has outstanding speed and agility, yet he seems lost as a running back in the system. His bouncing around the line looking for an opening can only get him so far.Why not use him to return kicks, where he’s out in the open field and can use his blazing speed? And I think we’re last in the nation in returning punts – why not use him there too? Ryan Mouton is being overused having return kicks and punts and too valuable to the defense to risk injury. What do you think?

HI gigi!!!!

Loa – You only guessed 3 names and you give up already? You sure you from Wahiawa and a Warrior fan? 😆

gigi – ummmm, Mouton doesn’t receive punts…

Midori –

rushes – 38
tb 1 – Funaki
tb 2 – 73

Blog Contest – UH at Boise St.

Good luck everyone!

hi Midori! thanks for handling these blog contests.

Yeh, Rausch reinstated…too late. Good for Santos though.

just a reminder tomorrow I along with some friends will be at Genji’s for the game. i dont think they will be doing a buffet though.

aight go warriors!

BYWHo vs TCU starting now on versus.

Midori7,

# of rushes: 33
TB #1: Funaki
TB# 2: 34

Mahalo!

And just like that byu is down 7-0.

GOOO HORNED FROGS!!!!

gigi-

How come no more link to your blog on your name like usual.
If that really is you, welcome back!

Streaming feed of the BYU-TCU game:
http://www.justin.tv/japorms

midori7 – how many times can we enter the contest?

whoaa…..past lunch time already??!! 🙂

back to work for me…………enjoy!

CRW – At first I thought I read japorns!!! 😯

homey, I surely wouldn’t share the link if I suspected anything of the sort.

midori……..you need to clarify your tiebreaker.

Tie Breaker #1: Who will be UH’s leading rusher?

is this

who has the most carries?
or,
who has the most yards rushing?

OMGZ!~ 14 nil! Go TCU!!

And just like that byu is down 14-0. They look freaking horrible on O and D thus far.

wouldn’t that be something if for some reason jake santos did get in the game and did marvelous things!

ahouse,
listen to garret. he is correct that as long as we don’t get to a bcs bowl game by virtue of our finishing 12th or higher in the bcs bowl rankings and we are bowl eligible, winning record that is, we will always play in the hawaii bowl.

well, as long as we are in the wac. which seems like where we will stay put for a long, long time.

oh, unless ourselves and some others finally do get together and are accepted as a new bcs conference. although that too, is highly unlikey since the greedy bcs folks don’t want to split more pie with anyone else.

…nuff said

Good afternoon, Tsaiko-Nation and Tsai-Meister.

Ronnie, make sure you get us all a huge victory cake for your Birthday !!

Been lurking on the Boise boards and boy, they sure are taking us lightly, it’s 99% to 1% thinking that it will be a cake walk for them and that they’ll smash us to pieces. Great, I hope their team feels the same way.

My big hope is that we don’t come out slow and give them an easy score like last year. We have to be ready from the starting gun.

total rushes: 26
leading rusher: funaki
total yards by funaki: 88

Well, looks like the Warriors have arrived and are settled in at southern Spudsville.

No mo’ Rice in the WAC. But, can make mashed potatoes!

TCU: 17
BYU: 0
Second Quarter 14:45

FT – What contest are you playing?

Contest:

43 rush attempts

TB #1: Wright-Jackson

TB #2: 147 yds

Cheer Leaders at Boise State:

Thanks you Chancellor Hinshaw for your keen insight and decision.

It should make it better for the players and Coaches; just like home!!

#267 – Aha! Proof that I not da only one making mess of da club house! 😉

FT – okay, do you mean

rush attempts – 27
TB1 – Pilares
TB2 – 87

jm2375 – but then again you make the most mess!

32 rushes
TB1 – Pilares
TB2 – 115

midori…..no worry. i got the back of the ahouse ohana. no matter what your mom tells you about me.

ahouse you said:

A-House:

October 16th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
Cheer Leaders at Boise State:

It should make it better for the players and Coaches; just like home!!

but, if they really like make house on the road they gotta pack us tsaiko’s on board the charter flts. den let us go nutz.

TCU: 23
BYU: 0
Second quarter 53 seconds
Do I hear BCS fading with the daylight?

Kelli – sari sari is a Filipino soup…some ono!

Looks like you do need some OJ and chicken long rice.

Saying as byu probably takes out utah in the finale, that leaves da donks in the drivers seat. so we either take them out tomorrow, or in all likelihood get a small portion of their bcs $$$. rather take them out, go warriors.

contest: (assuming sacks don’t count as rushes, which i’m pretty sure they don’t in college)

35 rushes
pilares leads the team w/ 51 yds

Hmm, so some people do recommend green tea, because of the antioxidants. But most of the stuff I see online mentions ginger-lemon-honey tea, which is what I usually drink. That, and orange juice and chicken soup. 😀

Hope you get better, Kelli! (And stay away from me please, haha.) 😛

jason or kelli.

zinc.

or as mih would recommend silver or gold. seriously.

Kelli – gargle with warm salt water. my doc says it helps break up da galas dat cause da sore throat & cough (post-nasal drip). chix soup good too.

wait – post-nasal drip – sounds like homey. nah j/k. 😆

Funaki

At this pace, it doesn’t look like BYU is gonna pull off a comeback like we did against UDub last year.

TCU: 26
BYU: 7
Third Quarter, 4:26
My last update. I must leave for a doctor’s appointment.

Kelli: Consider making your own ginger tea. Just slice and simmer in water.

Funny how the iPod touch tries to change “ginger” into “Ginger.”

Al,

My friend thinks that with having Elimimian go back to the middle and having RJ outside it will allow for “more” plays for A. Leonard. Plus, there’s no learning curve there as that is Sollie’s old position.

However Brashton WILL indeed see time. He’s too good and too tough not to play.

Coach Mack said he plans on using four LBs, of course it could be more depending on Brashton’s availablity.

kazz

brashton is hurting. it was to the point that he couldn’t wrap up last week. but, he played on. tough buggah.

TCU scores another TD.

Unless the Frogs manage to implode in the 4th Q, it looks like BYU’s BCS-busting chances are pretty much done.

Hi Midori7,

28 rushes
Pilares
63 yards

Go Warriors!

I think the NCAA should make it up to Brent Rausch.

How’s ANOTHER year of eligibility sound? 😉

Ok ok.. how about some McDonalds french fries at least?

Man, I’m gonna hit up McDs after work tonight.

Midori7;

32 rushes

Go Warriors!

Wafan,

Aw c’mon…. No Care About Anything? Of course they do! They care about your Ohio States, your USCs, your Floridas, your Tebows, etc…. that’s about it though…

byu going lose.

My initial reaction is to laugh and cheer, but somehow I just don’t care. Maybe by 2012 the hate will return.

9:30 PM in Boise now… reposting this for d1島:

❗ ATTENTION TRAVELING TSAIKOS! ❗
(and other UH fans in Boise)

Some of us are getting together for a pre-game “Tailgate” in Boise

Place: Lounge @ the Doubletree Club Boise
Address: 475 W. Parkcenter Blvd.
Time: 2:30 PM (MDT)
Cash bar
They have a light menu but will allow food from outside or delivered there.

This hotel is located 0.6 miles from Bronco Stadium. We’ll walk over to the stadium. The hotel staff said it’s an easy walk.

BYU GOES DOWN!!! 32-7

Bwhahahhahahahahaha

Kazz . . .

You are correct! I should have been a lot more specific. How about:

No Care About Anything — Butt Caressing Snobs.

Ralph,

What happened to Utah? Doesn’t the MWC still have them as a “lifeline” or did I miss something and they lost a game?

Don’t forget Utah and Boise State. One of these teams go undefeated and I’ll bet they go BCS.

Warriors better have their game faces on. watch the trick plays, quick snaps while we’re substituting, quick throws to the wide receiver while we’re calling the defensive play, reverses (I call 3) oh heck, watch out for the muddle huddle.

Boise doesn’t just want to win..they want to destroy us! If they do…with a couple losses ahead of them and Boise could make the top 12.

GO WARRIORS…you get chance…but you better play smart!

See you all on game day!

Wafan,

Although Benson attempted it, you can’t manufacture a win.

(see UH at Fresno State game)

SCREW THE CASH, GET THE WIN!

Boise win so we get BCS cash…nonsense! If Hawaii beats Boise, we’ll probably bring in more money with tickets sales to more fairweather fans coming to the remaining home games. Nope…I’d rather beat Boise State than get any amount of money.

So will someone pass this message on to the refs? I’d hate to see another home team having a game with no penalties.

EXACTLY. I think I’ve grown tired of this “Support Your Conference” crap a while ago.

It’s all for one and one for all.

No one will even give us a level “field” to just play so I saw screw them!

Just like when FSU won the College World Series… I’m a Hawaii fan so I could give a rat’s A$$ about that.

People wanna say that their win would “mean a lot to the conference”. Well what? BSU went to the Fiesta Bowl and won an awesome game and what did that do to the WAC? NOTHING.

We went to the Sugar Bowl and Colt was a Heisman finalist. What did this do for the WAC? NOTHING.

Again, we must worry about OUR Ohana at home first before anything else.

“No one will help us, we must help ourselves.” – Keala Watson

I stand by my prediction of:

UH 37
BSU 35

FINAL 2nd OT with UH being assessed 4 P.I. calls, two “running into the kicker” calls and three “unsportsmanlike conduct calls ONLY because the officials in the FSU and the LaTech game were not able to give out their required “Hawaii allotments”.

If I sound like a whiner, then pass on the cheese, no one can HIDE the facts!

I’m p***ed, I’m irritated, and I wanna crack some heads and smash some faces!

Rushes -29

GO WARRIORS!!!!!

Mrs. A-House ~ You know our political differences will never come between our friendship. I merely made mention to let you know where I stand. If you can’t stand up for your party, that you stand for nothing.

Unlike that Math whiz from Salt Lake, I am much more concerned about your well-being. It’s ok to be critical, or inject a little levity into an otherwize contentious campaign season. Thank you for doing that.

May I also suggest that you talk to your plants, as the experts have recommended. Therein lies the secret to growing very healthy and beautiful plants.

Oh…and…May Our Warriors BEAT DA LIVING @!&$^! Out of Doze Little Blue Ponies! 👿

good evening tsaikos…

about to roll out of this restaurant after a terrific meal. time to kee the hotel bar open all night then stagger back to the room

Yo Stretch, SteveM,

How’s the weather looking for the game tomorrow?

Kekoa:
you have mail……….

Great Evening All!

Happy Birthday Ronnie!

Back in Portland at last. Spent the day with #2 son. Accomplished delivery of several containers of island goodies for him and the other Hawaii boyz, then got to watch some of his practice. 🙂

btw, McMinnville is really cool!
(How cool is it?)
Well, let me tell you. It was 51 this morning when I got there and never got above mid-60’s

A-sports,
Glad you and A-joe had a nice time at dinner.

Now that I’m in my hotel room I can kinda unwind before taking an early flight out for BOI 😀

I’ll be looking around for a good place to park so will track down Stretch right away for some hints.

Going esme now and get ready for bed.

D-1 ~ Watch out for this one Wahine that moolights as a Meter Maid. Apparently her son was offered a chance to play for JJ, and the deal was cancelled faster then she could spell ‘violation.’ Now she prowls the streets of Boise on game week looking for Hawaii fans for revenge. Stay away from Stretch & ST, they are marked men.

A-House ~ Mrs. A-House stopped singing? Hmmm, was she singing in english or Karaoke?

ST ~ I forgot to mention that in your opening sentence above, you said that the wrong code was punched. Never say that word near Kazz. His lightning quick, short jab and powerhouse punch will put you right on your ‘Kun-dingy’ if you do.

Kekoa, you seem to be in a great mood these days. That other thing you wen talk to me about is okay now?

Why is it that it always feels good to see BYU lose? Oh, yeah, I remember.

Don’t forget Ball State and Tulsa. They are also both still undefeated. Anybody who runs the table has a legit shot at a BCS game. The polls won’t be able to ignore teams that are 9-0 late in the season, especially when top ten teams like BYU get spanked… It isn’t like BYU has had a tough schedule so far either. This was their first game against a FBS team currently holding a winning record. They squeaked by Washington… a team that is locked in a bitter battle with Wazzu to hold on to the PAC-10 cellar. Sure, they destroyed UCLA, but UCLA has been in and out of intensive care all season.

Cenyer=Center

Midori7 –

I hope I win…fairly and squarely, of course. It’s a really nice looking authentic jersey, folks. Good luck to all who enter/entered the contest.

just saw this.
vote for ESPNews to go more in depth about our game tomorrow.

its us vs 3 hockey games

http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/poll/index
then click on ESPNews in the left column.

we’re already leading the pack, but doesn’t hurt to vote more.

tonight’s news.
ok, g’nite. gotta wake up early to get to the airport to get to boise tomorrow.

Mrs A-House,

Thank you. You have confirmed my long standing suspicions.

Anthuriums have no sense of humor!

Mrs. A-House, we’re all good! I like Spam Musubi, you like Spam Musubi, Jason likes Spam Musubi, Kekoa likes all kine Musubi. We tight like dat. 🙂

Midori7, I like play too!

Shoots, go run attempts: 24
TB#1: Pilares
TB#2: 88 yards
TB#3: First BSU turnover: Fumble, recovered by RJ Kiesel-Kauhane.
TB#4: First UH TD: run, Funaki.

hahah- so much for a sleeping ST!

WOW- RK in jeans!!! Hey- got that runway pose too!

ST- dang, I thought gigi was back and showing off what she learned in Heather-Mack’s class… 🙁

NEO- if the blogs start to die off because of the moderation, mgt. may have to re-think the policy. Moderation of this blog would take too many shifts of people working w/o a contract and, frankly, we have demonstrated the ability to be self-correcting.

Kazz,

Always a pleasure to read your inspiring poetry!

Jay

Kelli- blue germ masks are good too- keeps the sulfur dioxide down. We are all hacking around here too…
Vog is bad!

Mrs. A-House: No worries, we’re all friends here. 🙂

Hawaiianbod: Don’t bother with Yum Yum. I go there out of desperation, when I want Thai food. I always get their green curry; I give it a C+. Yum Yum’s main location is downtown, near the corner of Hotel St and Bishop St. Go to Phuket Thai instead.

NEO: I don’t like any of this moderation. The HA guys are wise not to put any moderation stuff on this blog, cause it generates so much traffic that would be lost if the post screen were put into effect. But yeah, it’s not fair to any of the other bloggers, who have to take more of their time to moderate all of the comments. And it’s not fair to the readers, most of which are civil and respectful of each other.

I also find it ludicrous that the blogs are being moderated, while the news story comments are full of hatred and other disgusting things. All of this makes no sense. I hope they change their policy soon enough.

midori7:

How many times will UH run the ball? 31
Tie Breaker #1: Who will be UH’s leading rusher? Kealoha Pilares
Tie Breaker #2: How many yards will UH’s leading rusher have? 72

Pomai: 31-24 UH.

I’m so inspired by that “Devil May Care” attitude displayed by Mr. Kekaula while walking the Runway in his designer jeans. Wow! how inspirational.

Hi Kekoa! All set for the big weekend?

Ryan Mouton can punt…run down his own ball, strip the return man and take it to da hale!

Liz, remember…I made a similarly impossible prediction at the La Tech game, and it happened exactly how I said it would!

Jason – at least he’s still wearing slippahs! 😀

Kekoa – make shua it’s filled wit dat Boise blue indelible ink! 😈

Rob25: Are we SURE it’s Ronnie’s birthday? Bumbye we go Facebook, and it says November 3rd. 😛

jm2375- I jut got my silver Prius back from the body shop. Had two sets of dings – one from a family member and one from an unknown parking lot encounter, I think. Had to pay TWO deductables because there were 2 causes on 2 dates…

Tsai.

ST- sounds yummy! I love bison and I heard elk was very good.

Please keep the game blog unillustrated so the guys at the game and on phones can refresh quickly… ok? pretty please?

GO WARRIORS!!!
Buck… er… we’re not doing that this year, right?

GO WARRIORS!

Looks good to get on a flight in about 3 hrs. Thank the Lord that we should land in time for the game! I’m call you, Kekoa, as soon as we hit the ground!

BG and Betty- will pray you get home in time to watch the game!
Bon Voyage!

Rob25- bison is way less gamey than beef and way less fatty! The native americans knew what was good eating!

Oh and Rich too.

Sorry Rich, didn’t mean to leave out the good luck charm!

Thanks for the update, Kekoa!
Uku-boi is chatting and yakking… a little while ago he says “Brie says hi” 🙂

I’ll be in town for Rotary on Sat. and going home Sunday…bah… traveling during the ‘Skins game… but I’ll be wearing the XXL CB5 jersey/dress 😆

ST forgot to mention the dedsserts that everyone had. I seen a few apple cobblers, pumpkin pies, bread pudding, mixed berry cobbler and some strawberry thing. oh yeah, robert “I’ll go out on a limb” kekaula had vanilla ice cream. it was a perfect way to end a very enjoyable dinner.

time to go sleep so I can wake up tomorrow and get ready for the game.

ST – remember a Foster’s commercial years ago? “How to speak Australian”. Picture a huge steak. Hand places a sprig of parsley on top. “Salad” 😆 BTW – ketchup and fries qualify as veggies. 😀

Dat boi was lucky to have such a good girl to hang out with. Brie is a very mature young lady, and JaM has done a wonderful job of guiding her along. I hope that they will eventually learn to appreciate the same kinship we all share.

Haha, I loved those Foster’s commercials.

I’ve always wanted to try ostrich. Had a chance in Madison, but I got the Runnelstone instead.

Oh Robbie Tutu5…you are such a wuss girl! There are so many of life’s treats available to you, and you fail to even try.

Ho boi! My Pops used to say, eat this or starve! Sometimes I nevah knew what ‘this’ was! You truly do miss out on some great tasting stuff.

Kekoa

👿

Hey you all should be happy. I leave more for you all to enjoy. I like my beef and will be going to the land of cattle so I should be enjoying the meat that I love the most!

That’s okay…maybe someday I will try those mammals, but not the oysters or various other seafood…no matter what! 🙂

midori ~ Please accept my estimations:

Rushes: 42
TB#1: LWJ
TB#2: 105
Final score: UH 48 – Blue Burro Boys 24
Gate Count: 35,338 (WAG)
Tsaiko’s in da hale: Too numerous to count!

Rob25: No, no, this is Tsai-konomics we’re teaching here. The more that people partake in something, the more people bring of it, so more available for all!

Ok Rob25 ~ At least you DO eat dead cow. I’m happy for that much. When you get up to Dallas, enjoy your time with your hubby and give him my best. We kid with you a lot, and you are very Onipa’a about it all. Good for you girl! Hehehe

Nytol…

BEAT BOISE…Beat Boise…Hmmm sounds very possible either way I say it.

Thanks, SteveM…great album!

uh 38
bs 28

we will survive the friday night lights by….

scoring twice by way of special teams and/or by the defense.
and we play mistake-free beating bs in their own game.

do you think that bs will start believing their own hype?

do you think that bs sees that 24pt spread and starts believing it?

do you think that most folks had written off this hawaii team a few weeks ago?

do you think that we are still underrated?

do you think that coach mack has his team believing that they are a very good team?

do you think coach mack has removed the “prima donna” syndrome from the team and has them all pulling for each other as one team now?

do you think that coach mack has done his greatest works over the past seven weeks?

if you answered yes to all of the above, then go bet the house!!!

Al — yes, School street. BTW, you have a Sony Bravia, right?

Betty saw the fumes coming out of my ears and hustled me out of the terminal before I tore that ops sgt a new one. Calmed me down by reminding me that the game is going to be on here. We’ll be watching!!!

GO WARRIORS! GELD THAT BRONCO!

well, there’s ac, a sony, but not as big as a 52 incher. yah, i am a couple of inches short, its a japanese tv you see. it is in hd. it is accompanied by a surround sound system that the boss only lets me use for football.

the carpets are fairly new. we don’t drink beck’s but their might be a light beer or some imported stuff in green bottles. no more karaoke though.

you gotta like dogs, big dogs. cuz they enjoy the indoors and there are three of them. they won’t bite unless you spill your poke on your lap. they will beg all through the game.

bg….some day if you haven’t already, you will thank that lovely wife of yours for saving your okole. ahahahaha.

i have been stuck in airports before i know the feeling.

earlier today someone was inquiring about what a “nekohana” is.
since inquiring minds probably want to know this.
literally in japanese language
neko = cat
hana = flower

so go figure.

but, while i googled this shows up. its a comment by someone on the “midlife crisis:” blog in april 08.

“Rodney:

April 29th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Nekohana – someone told me that in Korean, it means “one for me” or something similar. A nekohana is a drink that a patron buys for the hostess. But it’s not your ordinary $4.00 drink, it’s $20. The hostess will get an actual drink and sit with the sucker, er… patron who bought it for her and drink it with him. Sometimes it’s alcohol, sometimes it’s water. So what does the hostess do with the other $16 dollars from the nekohana? Buy a Mercedes.”

i am thinking that “nekohana” became more notorious when the korean maidens took over the hostess bars. because in the early beginnings the hostess bars were run and staffed by japanese nationals who tried to bring the geisha bars to hawaii. strip clubs were primarily japanese nationals as well.

no, i am not that old nor did i write a thesis on this subject. one of my infamous uncles was in the business.

ralph….uh vs bs is the friday night lights game feature on espn/hd ch. 1222.

roomba….nah we tossed ours out. not enough suction power so all the mites and other microorganisms remain imbedded in the carpet. kind of gross.

laundry day is monday and thursday. we have cut down our loads when we procured a extra large front loader.

Well it’s time for the WAC Championship game
