Chow thanks the fans

Norm Chow empathizes with fans stuck in slow traffic and ticket lines this past Saturday. His own families members were caught, too. But he said he has been assured the glitches will be corrected, and that he is appreciative of the fans who turned out for the Washington game.

“We are thankful for the fans and students who supported our players,” Chow said. “Our players felt the support. It helped them perform well.”

* * * * *

Tight end Jordan Pu‘u-Robinson was back at practice yesterday after suffering an ankle injury against Washington. Pu‘u-Robinson and Harold Moleni are bracketed at that position. Justin Vele, the do-everthing H-back, is No. 3.

But the next generation will be interesting to watch. Dakota Torres, who is likely to redshirt, is a combo receiver/blocker that will give the offense more options.


David Manoa, a converted outside linebacker, is highly regarded. Manoa has been cleared to practice after recovering from a knee ailment.


* * * * *

The Warriors used only six linebackers against Washington. Two of their best special-team players — Benneton Fonua and Lance Williams — are next when the rotation expands.

    prefer to keep the LB rotation at 6.

    IMO, Gener needs to get the majority of the snaps at ILB w/ Lataimua/Poti rotating. and JGW/Castro handle OLB duties, solely. Nequan is nice in the box when we got nickel and he needs to have a big game against OSU stopping the fly sweep. took a terrible angle when UW ran their fly sweep.

    ST: hard to find the new post after the “ding ding.” Okay, that didn’t come out right, but you know what I mean.

    Kevin Clune has the defense playing great. It will be interesting to see if he can duplicate their performance against the Beavers.


  6. Hilo-Warriors September 3, 2014 6:48 am

    Good morning Tsaikos.

    Can’t wait for saturday to come. I feel the win coming this week. Glad to hear that we are pretty healthy for the most part after the first game.

    Warrior world, needs to coordinate the update links between, the Warrior World and Warrior Beat. There should be no latency when updating one or the other.


  12. ArcumFortis September 3, 2014 7:20 am

    It is good to hear that there is a large crowd projected for the game on Saturday. Aloha Stadium is a great place to be when the stands are full and the crowd is into the game. I also have no doubt that the players do feel the energy of the crowd and respond to it. So for those of you who were hassled and frustrated by access issues last Saturday I say give it another try. Your support is needed and welcome. Get your tickets early, arrange a tailgate and join the excitement. If our early optimism about this team goes up in smoke at least we will be depressed together.

  26. Shoko September 3, 2014 7:55 am

    What I noticed is that when the new post is up, it first appears on the front page of the Star-Advertiser in Warrior World section. So, if folks are desperately searching for the new blog entry you might want to try that route.


  27. ai-eee-soos September 3, 2014 7:56 am

    The Magnificent Six – GREAT game !!!

    The Warriors used only six linebackers against Washington.


  28. cocobean September 3, 2014 7:57 am

    0-1 + 2000 = 38000. Thirty six thousand tickets were sold for the home opener when the projected amount earlier in the week was 28000. The team loses the game but the projected amount of tickets sold goes up by 2000. Why?

    For the first game the “aah, we go” factor came into play. Two weeks before the game my 30 something year old nephew declined my offer to use my extra ticket. He’s a fan, follows the goings on of the team but has very negative feelings about the results Chow had produced. I think there are many people who fall into this category. The morning of the game he calls me to ask if he and two friends can catch ride with me. He and his friends, who are fans also, had been talking about the game for a while when one finally said “f..k, Chow, aah, we go.” Good thing they bought their tickets online. I have a feeling a lot of disenfranchised fans gave into the excitement of an opening game and said “aah, we go.”

    Can someone else explain the bump of 2000 for the upcoming game.


  29. Shoko September 3, 2014 7:59 am

    Try this again since it seems my initial comment didn’t get through.

    Best way to access the new blog entry when it’s announced is to navigate to the Star-Advertiser front page and go to the Warrior World section link. Seems to work for me…

  36. NotNasti September 3, 2014 8:17 am

    The (additional) 2,000 people watched the game on television (or computer) and were impressed enough with the team’s performance to say, “we go.” Can you imagine if we had beat UDub? There would be more than a 2K bump. Let’s say we win the next three games, and come back home for the Wyoming game with no worse than a 3 – 2 record, I believe more people will be jumping on the bandwagon and the “We Get Um” fundraiser. Hope springs eternal.


  37. UHfan808 September 3, 2014 8:18 am

    idk but HUGE KUDOS to your nephew and co. and all Warrior fans that showed up to cheer for the team this past Saturday!

    The team can really use our fan help – fan screamin’, shouting, craziness, and even for booing the 👿 REFs grrr – each. and. every. single. game.

    ! ! ! ! ! !

    Good going, Warriors Fans, for supporting our Warrior Team!

    yeah, booing the refs has got to increase…
    nequan phillips was quoted as saying the ref told him he had 2 seconds to let up on the roughing call. 2 freakin seconds, he can cover 12 yards in 2 seconds, wtf is this ref talking about. that was a crap call. expect more of that throughout the season.

    A friend recently upgraded his season tickets from yellow upper corner to the mauka Orange Section upper rows 45 yard line. Said he was told there were a bunch of great seats that became available this year. This is a great opportunity to get prime seats if one were so inclined. He was also one of the regular customers who parked in one of the parking places no longer available. He had a Pearl Harbor pass and parked in some lot across the street from the stadium. So he was left scrambling to find parking and missed the first UH score but enjoyed his seats on the shaded side of the stadium.

    If you are planning to attend a UH football road game this season, please post here or email me. The usual Tsai-ko logistics and get-together planner is at:
    http://home.roadrunner.com/~smurashi/tsai-kos/away14.html

    I will put everyone in touch via a group email (if I have your email addy) a week before the game.


  49. Pabosan September 3, 2014 9:06 am

    56 (from yesterday) “Too many times in the game I saw Lakalaka get stuffed, now we’re looking at 3rd and 6 or 7. ”

    Harsh assessment. I thought Lakalaka did ok so I looked up the stats. Keep in mind, he is only a RS Soph who faced talented Jr’s and Sr’s. He’ll get better. Getting stuffed comes with the territory. Iosefa probably got stuffed too, but he did break a 22 yard run so that upped his average to 4.8 for 30 carries. If you remove the 22 yd run, he averaged 4.2 yards on 29 carries, which isn’t that far off from Lakalaka’s 3.8 yards per carry. Clearly, Lakalaka could help his cause by breaking one occasionally for 15 or 20 or more (long was 7).

    Let’s not forget, this is a BCS/Power 5 (corrupt system) Pac-12 team we played in week 1. Said team has at min three guys in the front 7 (1 DL, 2 LB) who are on multiple award watch lists including (but not limited to) Lombardi, Butkus, Bednarik, and Hornung awards. I’m sure they’re going to stuff a bunch of talented RB’s in the Pac-12 this year. Enough talk about corrupt system teams.

    Back to UH Football and Lakalaka’s game stats.

    http://hawaiiathletics.com/boxscore.aspx?id=16818&path=football

    9 carries
    34 yards
    0 TD
    7 Longest rush
    3.8 Avg

    Not bad, for a RS Soph entering his soph season. He’ll get better.

    Thank you UH Rainbow Warrior Football Student Athletes for the hard work and dedication in and out of the classroom.

    Good job Rainbow Warriors!

    Guud Morning Tsaikos…bootiful day.

    problems at the ticket booth?…problems with parking?…how about buy tickets early and go early?…huh?…make sense? if not no huhu…

    imho, upgrade all yellow seat season ticket holders, offer family packs for yellow section ($5 kids, $15 adults etc..) and late comers ($10, no seat selection), turn into “no alcohol section”..(to keep da pilutes with dirty mouth out of the kids faces.)..and fill da Rust Bucket!..
    I wanda how we going get 36,000+ fans into a stadium with only 30,000 capacity?…wait now, lemme try figga this one out..


  52. (Jesse)James September 3, 2014 9:47 am

    Good morning Tsaikos!!!

    You can see the difference a year makes under Beemer….The amount of guys playing all 90+ offensive plays and the amount of Warriors able to play for longer periods without subbing is an indication of their conditioning.


  53. azwarrior22 September 3, 2014 9:48 am

    Pomai – my prediction somehow got changed. The original was Warriors 42 OSU 17


  54. (Jesse)James September 3, 2014 9:49 am

    Also wanted to thank all the early crew guys and all the Tsaikos who attended the first Tailgate of the season. As usual, it was successful all around with good food, good friends, and good fun.

    If you haven’t been to one, even if you are just a lurker, come on down to one…introduce yourself and join in on the fun…. 🙂

    Hope to see lots of you guys there again this weekend….. 🙂


  55. mauiwarrior September 3, 2014 9:49 am

    UH 20-OSU 16


  56. (Jesse)James September 3, 2014 9:54 am

    And one good thing about the Tsaiko T-gate is that we are at the Cabanas by 9 a.m. Plus, parking is not a problem and it’s only a short walk to the Stadium….and for those who can’t walk long distances, we have other options…. 🙂


  57. Warriorfan September 3, 2014 10:03 am

    Excited for this years team. Everyone seems to be on the same page and has bought in. Coaching adjustments were done and defense pitched a second half shut out on a Peterson coached team I might add. I don’t believe in moral victories as the time is now to start putting some up in the win column, but I do feel that Chow and his staff has put the pieces in place. Joey needs to stay healthy as he reminds me of how Colt used to refer to Nasty nate as “the straw that stirs the drink”. But Stephen as far as recruiting are we still in the running to get those recruits that went on missions…I believe last names were Salakielu and Lavaka?


  58. Andrew September 3, 2014 10:04 am

    My prediction for the game:

    UH: 28

    Mahalo to JJ, Koakane (alias Thomas), Homey, Sailor Blue & da rest of da Tsaiko crew for a terrific first tailgate! The game was exciting (too bad about not pulling out a win)! Looking forward to the next one against OSU!

    Hubs and I are unable to come to the next two games (so putting up our tickets for grabs). Will be coming by this weeks tailgate after work around 1:00pm to drop them off. So, let me know who is interested in FREE tickets!

  70. SC September 3, 2014 11:31 am

    Oregon State 31 Hawaii 21. Close game in the first half.


  71. cocobean September 3, 2014 11:37 am

    Toughness is an attitude. UDub was bigger and faster than our team. They tried to muscle their way to a win. Our boys matched their size and speed with their toughness. They weren’t going to be pushed around by a bigger team. I know those watching appreciated the effort. The UH bandwagon is definitely rolling going into the OSU game.

    To keep the bandwagon rolling the team has got to come up with another inspired effort. OSU is going to be a bigger challenge for the D. They’ll be facing a good experience QB rather than a virgin. In this game the offense is really going to have to cover the defense’s back. They’ve got to come up with more than 16 points.


  72. cocobean September 3, 2014 11:40 am

    I agree with cocobean. But Oregon State is a better team then Washington at this time.


  75. cocobean September 3, 2014 11:44 am

    Monsieur Tsai [err, this is not insulting you, by the way; culinary is a grand profession]. When you “ding, ding,” a Grease actually envisions you behind the small opening of the restaurant where the fry cook has a nice piping hot serve on of a fine large burger and fries ready for delivery to hungry cat. “Ding ding!!!” indeed!

    Speaking of which, what’s on the menu (yuk yuks) for the TV show this week?


  77. Last Call September 3, 2014 11:48 am

    Why go to the game when it’s on TV makes no sense to me ? I’ll be watching from the comfort of my man cave, Hey beer assistant bring me another beer.

    Would have been nice …if BJ on monday would have start selling ‘seasons tickets’ …MINUS THE FIRST GAME… n telling would be fans…avoid the long lines at osu game.. n frustration…n get them monday by internet…mail…or pick up at stadium…
    could probably pick many more…cuz from all that is being said about our ‘warriors’ was a entertaining game…n defense looks legit…

    I apologize for any of the wrong predictions, it was not due to the blog, for some reason my spreadsheet got messed up and transposed many of the Pix”s. So double check to make sure I got the correct.

    S.A.T.: they can still buy mini-packs of tickets, which would give them the OSU game and be cheaper than regular season tickets. There are other options. The (fans) could have purchased their seats online with their smart-phones, and obtained entry by showing their “tickets” on their smartphone to the ushers, and not have to stand in the long lines. I saw many UW fans using their smartphones as tickets to the ushers on Saturday. It took a little longer, because the ushers weren’t prepared for it, but they let them in anyway.

    Hey, I’m good to go!

    Short week for some so make it a quickie hump day.

    Don’t know why some police officers get all huhu when on special duty. That’s a good chunk of change so may as well act nice and have a kind nature towards those that wanna enjoy the game.

    I seems a poster fell victim to the spam filter, on here and the volleyball blog. 😆

    Help me understand the problem you guys are having with not seeing the new posts so we can try to figure out what’s going on…

    Specifically, where are you looking for them (URL)? And how long does it usually take before they come in? Do you have to do anything specific before you see them (restart, new device, etc.)?

    Also, just to make sure, this is the address to bookmark for Tsai’s blog main page:

    Appreciate any help you can give.

  98. bowwar September 3, 2014 2:02 pm

    Traffic, lack of parking and long ticket lines have been pandemic to NO ALOHA stadium for years…WHY this can’t be corrected is beyond me…If they ever plan to get big crowds again or support a new 40,000 seat stadium they need to invest in a parking structure and allow for ticket purchases at the H Zone or UH Ticket offices. Make going to the stadium a “pleasant” experience versus something we
    dread everytime we head to the stadium…

    Why hasn’t ANY of our governors tried to solve this problem????

    Sorry for the venting…IMUA WARRIORS!!


  99. jimmy the lock September 3, 2014 2:04 pm

  105. Kapahulu September 3, 2014 2:32 pm

    So is a 35,000 seat Stadium really enough?
    We may get close to 40,000 for this game.
    What about the next game if we start winning?


  106. jimmy the lock September 3, 2014 2:37 pm

    Will parking issues remain?


  107. jimmy the lock September 3, 2014 2:40 pm

  108. Andrew September 3, 2014 2:40 pm

    I wonder how quickly they would be able to construct a new stadium (if that’s what they decide to do). Given that they were planning to construct it in the area adjacent to the current stadium, they’d have to get it done quickly considering the even worst parking and traffic nightmare that would cause.


  109. oldtimer808 September 3, 2014 3:19 pm

    Pomai my prediction was posted and then lost so going to post again…UH win OSU lose..ok you want numbers UH 27 OSU 17

    Yes, for those of you who do not do the UH-M PPV, the game will be available for fuh-REEEE on the CBS Sports network (Oceanic digital 210, a Grease believes), 10:30pm Eastern time, 4:30pm, HI time. A Grease has this channel, SO EAT IT, ALOHA STADIUM!!!! JOKE, joke, joke(r. “Why so serious?”). Better not black it out PPV CHANNEL 255/1255 HD!!!!

    Not sure if DirectTV people will be left out if the contract dispute goes through Saturday.


  114. Chicken Grease September 3, 2014 3:52 pm

    Correction — — Oceanic’s CBS Sports network, for digitial, are channels 247 & 1247 (HD).


  115. pollypicador September 3, 2014 4:14 pm

    For Chow to tackle the bull by the horn is smart.

    People affected by the stadium mess see the head coach fighting for their cause and it makes their patronage valued…and not taken for granted.

    It’s a noted.

    And it’s the kind of tune sang by the head coach that beckons one’s to continue being a patron.

    From the beginning Chow has always thanked the fans, acknowledged their presence and carried the weight on his shoulder in trying to give the fans the best experience.

  122. Steve P September 3, 2014 5:26 pm

    Oregon State is a class act all the way. A good football program with great coaches. Having said that I think we can beat them if we play with the same intensity that we played against the Huskies.


  123. JustAsking September 3, 2014 6:08 pm

    Hi Pomai!
    My pick was UH 24 OSU 34 (because of their QB, who is scary good).

    Can you believe that.

    When the line first came out it was UH+11…then it went to 12…then 13 and some places UH +14.5. Now it’s down to UH +10.5. Man what do these bettors know?


  132. akuhead2 September 3, 2014 7:19 pm

    Must have been some confusion. Menehunes – YES. That wasn’t my pick for the score at 45 – 10. Not mine. Quick check from Webster leaving post, was Wes’side Warrior with 45 – 10. Defense was good and held em’ to 17 last week, this week against OreState our Defense will hold them to 17 or less. The offense will make adjustments and do better than the 16 they scored against Washington. My pick, was 27 – 16 UH. But now that that score has been taken, by wafan, and that I have had some time to mull it over, and I haven’t posted my pick yet on other blogs, my pick will be 30 – 17. Please remove the other score and post my correct score: 30 – 17.


  133. Wes'side Warrior September 3, 2014 7:37 pm

    Howzit, Gang!

    Been busy lately driving everywhere.

    Ummm…. Pomai… My guess on the day after was UH 45 – 10 OreSt. (Not 10-7)


  134. champ September 3, 2014 8:10 pm

    Let the OC call the plays for once. Same ol same ol from last year. As why only 16 pts!! Reminds me of the playcalling of yesteryear from Tomey’s OC. Remember Dave Fagg? Eh! how about putting in David Graves he should still be eligible since our coach neva let him smell game let alone suit up! Some body tell me why?


  135. Derek September 3, 2014 8:24 pm

    I see Hawaii scoring more points than last week. But, Oregon State has the better and more experienced QB than UW did. However, there is no Brandin Cooks anymore and that’s a big, big loss,. The difference, our defense comes through in the clutch.

    UH – 17
    Oregon State – 16


  136. Wes'side Warrior September 3, 2014 8:25 pm

    Saw on UH site that Woolsey is going to do a live chat tomorrow. For info go to UH website.


  138. cocobean September 3, 2014 9:40 pm

    champ. I remember Dave Fagg. To me, the Tomey years were all about building a foundation that others that followed could build upon. Tomey was a believer in playing Big 10 style of football. Run to set up the pass, give yourself a chance to win it in the 4th Q. Tomey didn’t coin that phrase he merely repeated it. His team usually played inspired, played tough and played smart. His teams earned a degree of National respect. Teams knew coming that they may out talent Hawaii but they weren’t going to outhit Hawaii on either side of the ball. This year’s team is doing their part to regain that respect.

    David Graves is old news. To recap briefly. Enter Spring ball as #1, struggled to learn Chow’s O. The knock was he couldn’t go through his reads quick enough, left the pocket too early. His talents fit JJ’s O better than Chow’s O.

    UH doesn’t have an official O coordinator. Must plays are called by the QB coach – Wynn.


  139. kev-1 September 3, 2014 10:09 pm

    Sorry Pomai. No like make humbug either. Wesside posted the list with my original prediction.

    UH 20 OSU 17


  140. SteveM September 3, 2014 10:30 pm

    RE: POMAI’S PICKS

    The guess-the-score listing has always been a measure of support–a poll of sorts, with a little bit of divination. If you guess a score precisely, your guess of number of touchdowns, field goals, failed extra points, and/or safeties was dead on right. Congrats!

    But since the Pomai’s Picks is not a prize contest, why can’t there be duplicate guesses?
    Share in the glory of great prognostication.

    OK…I admit I needed a dictionary for “prognostication”. 🙄


  141. kev-1 September 3, 2014 10:33 pm

    Steve . . . I don’t think it is duplicate guesses that people are questioning. It is the fact that the predictions have changed from what people originally posted.

    If it is a technical glitch that is messing with it, I say leave em. No sense pomai go back and redo it.


  142. HiFlyer September 3, 2014 10:36 pm

    Hello


  143. pollypicador September 3, 2014 10:37 pm

    Questions I would ask Woolsey.

    1. Conditioning. Is Beemer’s method better than the past?
    2. In the no-huddle do you call plays at the line of scrimmage. Do you audible?
    3. What is your 40 time?
    4. Did the NCCA’s have an unannounced drug testing at the start of fall camp? Has the NCCA’s ever administered testing in the past? When? (my hunches tell me that the NCCA’s came at the start of this fall camp)
    5. Do you prefer morning or afternoon practices?
    6. What is the ideal time of the day to play a game? What is your preference?
    7. On taking road trips what are your reactions to stopping off in LA on the first leg of the trip, staying overnight, and then flying the next day to the venue you’re playing at? Would it be better flying on road trips non stop?
    8. Last season against OSU the team stayed in Eugene prior to the game? Why didn’t the team stay in Corvallis where the game is being played at? Please explain. Why the needless travelling back and forth?
    9. Two season ago Chow took the scenic route to San Diego, literally, busing from LA to San Diego for the game and then back. Are you looking forward to that? Or would you rather just fly in non stop?
    10.Is Chow much of a motivational speaker? Does he light it up in pregame and halftime speeches?
    11. Social media. For the most part do players read message boards? Do you? What are your reaction when you read something unflattering about youself?
    12. Clarke or Afusia? Which player snaps a better ball in the shotgun?
    13. Clarke or Afusia? Which center would you prefer?
    14. Do you wish Chow would school you more on the sidelines during the game? Or… is it all good as it is? Or are you in constant communication with Wynn upstairs?
    15. I’ve read where on Mondays the team doesn’t hold an on the field practice following Saturday games and instead does film study and conditioning. What are your thoughts? Do you wish you had an extra on the field practice during game week?
    16. In your student handbook there’s a section reminding athletes being interviewed by the media to always think before speaking, put the school in a favorable light and don’t talk ill about your opponents is this simple to understand? Yet do you find it ironic that the school’s AD has recently strayed off course and from the rules? Never mind don’t answer that.
    17. What are your plans after your playing days are over?
    18. What are your hobbies, interests, books read, talents etc. ?
    19. How tired were you after the Washington game, especially having ran 97 plays on offense?
    20. Do you ever watch Oregon play? Do you wish the Warriors would draw up some plays that Oregon runs for you?


  144. pollypicador September 3, 2014 10:53 pm

    21. How hard is it for the Warrior players playing at venues that are at higher elevations? This season you have both Colorado and Colorado State on the road are you prepared for the effects of the higher altitude has on the body?


  145. cocobean September 3, 2014 11:18 pm

    polly – you forgot to ask what’s your favorite color and what’s your favorite food.


  146. Pomaikaikeolahou September 4, 2014 12:38 am

    Pomai, I liked the new score of Hawaii-31, OSU-24 that appeared after the spam attack. Please change my prediction. Thank you.

    Why do I feel our Warriors will run’ova the Beavers?
    Incidentally, This mornings Vegas-line has the Beavers over UH by, 10/11 points; I don’t tink so.
