Clear eyes, full calendar

Hi!

Cannot post from home but being sneaky at . . .

Hi wafan!

Maybe Izzy changed something on your computer? j/k

wafan – #7 – you? Neva! 🙄 😆

Blowout the Aggies manana.

Send them packing back to Las Cruces land with a long, winded flight home.

Will they be sending out their own broadcasting crew that is spanish based? I still remember hearing the crew go ga-ga when Colt was running the show, and had all compliments for Brennen. It was the closing moments when Hawaiian Tel was offering the net feed.

Interesting that it only affects certain posters. I never had a problem posting.

espn E:60 did a small piece on Chris Johnson and Kenny Turner’s friendship.

Idahostatesman says that Boise State leaving the MWC could cost them 21 million.

Game Day Eve!

Homecoming week!

Take care of business, Warriors!

Scout .com forums are always an interesting read. NMSU fans see this game as a possible win or being very close. Hawai`i fans smell a RUTS coming.

What a dumb idea, let him know how stupid this is.

Wakai wants development around Aloha Stadium – Pacific Business News

http://www.bizjournals.com/pacific/print-edition/2011/10/21/wakai-wants-development-around-aloha.html?ana=fbk

Aloha Kakahiaka!

Another day of study and then, frolicking around the Lower Campus tonight!

Happy Friday!

#24 ST – yeah but still stupid if he is talking about getting rid of the stadium. Now if he is talking about building surrounding the stadium with some sort of complex I might buy into it.

San Jose St. game photos are now up:

http://www.nakoa.org/2011/10/uh-vs-san-jose-state-game-photos-101511/

whatever happened to that o-line man from Kahuku who was going to sign with UH and then bolted for Oregon State becausen he felt his chances for exposure and the next level would be enhanced.

Is he on the next level?

NMS seems to have a large number of players with criminal records especially men’s basketball. Even their volleyball team has players past and present who have felony records.

Coaching musical chairs. Looks like UCLA and possibly Oregon State will be looking for new head coaches by the end of season, along with Arizona (fired Mike Stoops at mid-season).

Good morning! Happy Homecoming, UH grads!

So that’s why Bryant was leaving practice early… good job, coaches. Graduate those students!

Laters…

I could see UCLA making coach Mac an offer as they NEED

a DEFENSIVE minded coach, plus Mac could bring them

an explosive offense…but would Rolo and Aranda go with him?

More money and respect…

Sorta wished I nominated Raphael Cherry, UH quarterback…

Had to vote for Chad Owens, especially for his punt returns

against Michigan State…on national tv.

Good Morning!… Gotta work the Season’s Best Craft Fair at the Blaisdel tonight and the rest of the weekend. Need to find my radio for the game.

IWWTHM

Is there a rumor that Riley might get canned? That guy has been a hero at Oregon State for a number of years now. Guess it’s what have you done for me lately.

wafan I have the same problem every day, but what I found out I think it’s the browser, I use IE and when that happens I open chrome and it works fine.

#40,

Sorry, but can’t see UCLA making an offer to Mack. Its going to be someone from the BCS ranks or NFL. Al Golden, Jon Gruden, Brian Harsin, Paul Chryst.

If it does come from the non-BCS level, its going to be a coach with a much more impressive record like a Peterson.

Oh, okay. I thought you were implying they had visions of leaving.

What time is the T-Gate tomorrow??? MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

WSU Student Population 15,380 Undergrads Public State University

USC Student Population 17,380 Undergrads Private

UH Student Population 13,900 Undergrads Public State University

Simply posting demographics and numbers.

e.g. USC must have a huge alumni following. Attendance holding in spite of suspensions?

WSU the only show in town.

UH smaller student population, less affluent alumni

If you were marketing UH how would you position us to increase attendance? Who would you target as an audience? Is it win first and they will come, or support first, to increase moneys and build a bigger and better program?

Just posting this from yesterday.

Actually, the numbers we have at my place of employment is that UH’s undergrad population is closer to 20,000 plus. But students don’t seem as interested in football/athletics as they did in the 70s, 80s and early 90s with varying reasons. The key is to get them more involved somehow. How to do that remains to be seen.

Also, although UH’s alumni are not as affluent (although some are very, very comfortable as I do know a few) as other schools, the shear number of alumni could really make a dent even if they each just donated a few dollars. Again, the numbers we have at my place of employment show a UH alumni listing of over 250,000 living alumni. If each were to simply donate $10 to the school for whatever reason, that would equate to $2.5 million in donations. Again, how to tap into that is another story.

The friends I have who are affluent graduates of UH tend to donate their money, time, and efforts to their respective high schools…which is what most people in Hawaii do, IMHO.

Just saying…

Meanwhile, let us not forget Tsai’s great quote of the day:

“…Mars, Hawaii, Las Cruces — I was going to get the job done.” Since moving from slotback to running back, Turner has rushed for 129, 109 and 171 yards. The question is, can UH stop Kenny?

RE: UCLA

UCLA would not go for Mack. I don’t think Mack would leave either. What I am afraid of is UCLA trying to get Rolo and/or Aranda as coordinators. They can probably triple their pay right now. Both Rolo and Aranda will get offers from some teams out there in the near future. It’s just a matter of when. Let’s just hope they want to stay here in Hawaii.

Warriors can do it! know your assignment, know your fundamentals, make the tackle.

sorry, but i doubt any D-1 teams will be offering Mack a job.

according to the UH Manoa facts and stats the undergrad enrollment for 2010 is 13,599. throw in the grads and unclassified you get 20,337.

http://manoa.hawaii.edu/about/facts/

letsgobows:

Still too early in the season to assume that. 2008, 2009…2010… the team came on stronger at the end… and now 2011 … who knows? Lots of home games to close the season. He may still have a decent win/loss record at the end of the season.

What if UNLV offer him? He has a home there. They seem to have more money to spend. Just asking the what if…

letsgowarriors:

Except some of these schools want to run a “clean” program after the flack they’ve been having. Mack is running a “clean” ship. Has a rep as one of the best recruiters. Except for his win/loss record, the football program is looking pretty darn good. Each year we seem to depend less and less on JC transfers as quick fixes. Our players as a group are looking bigger and stronger than ever. The dedication to come to Summer School and work out is there where it was non-existent prior to Mack. It’s all coming together… just not this season.

63: Buffoman

Could you elaborate on what the public land granted institution did towards/for your friend’s child?

Always open to ideas.

The Head Coach position isn’t about one position, it’s about NINE.

Mack needs to be let go after this season.

1. Our program has not been headed towards the right direction after Jones has left. Even with the pay raise.

2. Continuous mental errors year in and out need to be changed. Need a coach who understands the importance of basic fundamentals that need to be worked on and fixed in the off season. Not trying to find personnel changes mid season because they can’t get the job done. Half time adjustments have been lacking as well. Discipline football teams don’t fumble as often as we do and know how to block for extra points.

3. Whats the point of re signing a coach for a 2 year extension when were gonna need a change in 2 years anyways?

4. Only in Hawaii do you hear a coach say you can’t lose your job due to injury. Not only that, you pretty much can’t lose your job for under performing or turning over the ball as well. Harding and Pollard should have been benched at least a series for multiple fumbles lost. Moniz played so poorly, he should have been benched. Not very often can we count on 6 turnovers by the opposing teams to let us back in the ball game. If San Jose held on to the ball, Moniz doesn’t even have a chance to make up for his poor 1st half.

5. Continuous excuses. Mack went on air to answer a question what it takes to be like Boise. His excuses were Peterson makes twice as much as he does. What does coaching salaries have to do with performance? Do we coach better with more money? I think everyone agrees our state needs to put more money into the football program but we cant use it as an excuse to why we cant over achieve. He also went on air to talk about our schedule being too hard to run the table when this is our weakest schedule ever.

Mack is a nice guy, just not head coach material. He is too old an forgets where he is on the US map at times. Also forgets his players names too. Makes you wonder what he forgets during game time.

With a middling W-L record in the weakest 1-A conference any HC move made by Mack at this point would be a step down and not up. His assistants aren’t exactly inspiring much confidence either.

#75,

You talk as if that list is a hot commodity. I don’t think any big time programs will be trying to poach any of those coaches from us.

Tuioti is the most ambitious of the bunch and would love to retain him for his recruiting purposes. He does well with the D linemen too.

Wakai wants development around Aloha Stadium – Pacific Business News

http://www.bizjournals.com/pacific/print-edition/2011/10/21/wakai-wants-development-around-aloha.html?ana=fbk

I tried reading this, but like the Star-Avertiser, readers must have a subscription in order to get past the paywall. Does anyone here have a subscription who would be willing to copy & paste the full article itself here on the blog?

I cannot tell from the limited access to the article if Senator Glenn Wakai is planning to generate revenues for the 125 acres of mostly empty parking lots through appropriate development as a way of supporting the Stadium itself which takes up another seven acres OR if he’s urging that the Stadium be torn down and built someplace else – if at all – in order to place a major mixed-use development on the entire property.

NOTE: Unless there’s been a major shift in Wakai’s positions on the property which I’ve not been told about, I haven’t heard him argue for or even support the concept of considering the removal of the Stadium altogether. However, he may have had some interactions with the Governor’s Office which I don’t know about.

FYI – Like all state senators, Wakai is up for re-election in 2012. That particular term will run through 2016 as part of the 2011 reapportionment plan – assuming that the State Supreme Court rejects the Big Island challenge to the plan. If the challenge is successful, then O`ahu will lose one senatorial seat and the remaining sixteen boundary lines will be expanded out to accommodate the loss of appraoximately 90,000 residents on O`ahu.

No matter where the boundary lines are drawn, twelve seats will be for 2-4-4 year terms and thirteen will be for four-four-two year terms over the next decade.

maybe upper campus wants Mack to be swiped away by another school, lmao. that is why they are dragging their feet on the extension.

85. what game are you watching? The program yes was established by JJ. But in what world has Mack enhanced our football team?

We get embarrassed on national TV all the time if thats what you mean by enhanced.

Please explain the innovative offense and defense you talk about. The same offense that 20 against UNLV or the one that put up 27 against San Jose? Oh yea I forgot we scored 49 points at half time against Davis. That must be the one. Record breaking performance as well.

Cant forget that defense that gave up 40 to UNLV. One of the powerhouses of college football that lost a heartbreaker to national power southern utah

DON WEIR – you’re a good man!

Pomai . . .

Using IE both places.

That is what is so odd about it.

Wonderful weekend of UH sports.

GO WARRIORS!!!!!

GO WAHINE!!!!

86. Capitol -ist/WassupDoc:

Sent you an email of the entire PBN article you requested.

W-Doc

Wakai wants to build a multi-purpose facility in the parking lot (adjacent to the stadium) that would generate year-round revenue for the state and stadium.

He must’ve been reading this blog.

Finally.

Oh.

My.

Gosh!

Looks like the site has a problem with IE.

DON WEIR #103 – like I said, you too good!

#105 . . .

We used to question why they did not build a multi-level parking structure when the stadium first opened. When the stadium was packed waaaay back then parking was always an issue. My folks would leave home before lunch to wait in line on the highway shoulder to get in early enough to have a parking space.

I was usually at the stadium by late morning getting ready for the crowds so parking for the workers was never really a problem.

chrome can also import bookmarks from your other browsers.

What if question:

If a T. Boone Pickens type of donor expressed the desire to donate millions to the UH Football program, just like the guy who donates money ONLY to the UH Business school, what areas do you feel would need to be upgraded in order for the football program to move to the “next level?”

A new football complex, offices, state of the art weight room, study hall, upgrade the practice facility, dorms, on campus stadium, etc?

#124…I think all of the above (except for the on-campus stadium). However, state procurement laws would have to be addressed and I would negotiate that with the “people in charge” to shorten the procurement bidding process and establish other requirements such as expedited permitting, bonus pay for early completion, etc.

This not only would assist in improving strength and conditioning of the athletes in all sports but also “condition” their minds and prepare them for the real world.

It also helps in the recruiting standpoint. Nice facilities (i.e. Oregon) can attract players. I mean, if a “big time” local recruit visited the facilities at UH vs. Oregon’s facilities, there is no doubt they would choose Oregon is for that mere fact. After all, it has been reported that Oregon’s facilities compare to, or even exceed in some instances, NFL team facilities.

James, A-Joe,

The comment that resonanted the most was that he tell me that his child felt safe and someone cared about the college experience and that his daughter was not just a “number” in the overall school’s population.

On another completely different subject. Really different. How does one keep neighbor’s cats from crapping in your yard? I have new neighbors and they have cats and now my planter areas look like a giant litter box to these cats. Mothballs do not really work. How about that Japanese thing about water in a bottle? That’s for real or just myth?

Thank you. Fine issues.I have added to your favorites

Ipu man…brah you crack me up.

#131,

I’m not Derek but if we had a choice and $$$ which we don’t…I’d go with Mike Leach or Brian Harsin.

Ive been a Leach fan for a while now. Guy can compete with lesser athletes and less $$$ in a insanely competitive conference. Not to mention he is WEIRD. I mean really weird in a really funny way. Oh and the guy is a genius in more than just football.

Heck if Andy Rooney likes him, he’s gotta be a good guy right? hahaha.

Hi Stephen.

FYI, okay to send that check over to me.

Derek,

What do you do if you don’t make the 1st down? People keep talking about going for it on 4th down but no one cares to address what they would do if it’s not successful.

Nice blog, the comments make for an interesting read too.

Nice blog, the comments make for an interesting read too.

Nice post, I found your site through Bing and even though it isn’t what I was looking for I am glad I discovered it. Keep up the great work.

ST,

Send in the check to Na Koa with a note to deposit to endowment account.

that’s a good one ipu man

buffoman – Never seen the jars with water work, but my neighbor has them and he says they do.

Don’t know if I should apologize for bring up the stinking subject of cats crapping in the yard, but you guys have taken comic relief in the fternoon to new levels. Thank you, I needed to laugh.

Ipu man, “give him another chance coach…” that’s classic!

The bottle of water supposed to work for dogs. I don’t know if it really works though. For cats make catsoup.

I like Chrome but am trying Camino right now.

Wait A Minute: Whether you give up the ball on our 44 or on the San Jose St. 13 it comes down to stopping them. Granted San Jose St. had much more yardage to go. With no time outs they had to throw on every play and every throw had to go at least 10 yards to stop the clock. If they didn’t pick up 10 yards in bounds the clock would keep running until the next play or either if SJSU spiked the ball to stop the clock. Hawaii was in very soft coverage and in the prevent defense. They were willing to give the short stuff so they guarded for the long ball. With about 1:50 left on the clock, SJSU had plenty to move the ball down field. When you look at how the game went all day, SJSU did not have a problem moving the ballL. The imploded when they made a turnover. What resulted was completion, first down, completion first down, completion, first down, completion first down, completion, touchdown. There was still 36 seconds left on the clock when SJSU scored. You tell me. If we didn’t pick up the first down on 4 and 1 we still had to stop them and since they had better field position we had to play tigher coverage. Plus with better field position maybe SJSU had the feeling that on some plays they could surprise us by running the ball. If we stop the run the clock would continue to run and more time off the clock.

It’s a total different mind set. Who know what would have happened. Either way, SJSU had to score a touchdown. Yeah, you can point to the blocked extra point. But when the moment of truth was at hand when the game was in the balance, I really thnk UH screwed it up. I know I’m not a coach, but I know football and I can feel the game pretty soon. I had the bad feeling that this game was going to be close. I also had the feeling that UNLV would play hard against us because we were such prohibitive favorites. We were overconfident and the Rebels had revenge on their minds after we killed them at Aloha Stadium. I have bet on college and pro football games in Las Vegas and I know that when you are a home dog, there is more motivation,,especially when you are at home and plahying on national television. Like yesterday, Arizona was really to win a game after 5 straight losses. They wanted it. UCLA didn’t show up. Today, Syracuse at home is taking it to West Virgiani and Louisville has a good chance of beating Rutgers. It is 7-7 in a pick em game. Personally, I like W. Virginia and Rutgers, but we have seen this over and over again.

As to the next potential coach, I thin Leach is a good one and it wouldn’t be too much of a departure as far as throwing the ball. The problem is he might be too expensive. Harsin is good too, but he too might be too expensive. But, you never know. I do know that Leach is a very engaging coach and I like his philosopy. He gets me excited. I don’t know if it will affect what happened with him at Texas Tech and Craig James son, but it might. I do know what we shouldn’t get an older guy. I would rather have a younger guy with a lot of energy and a great recruiters who can sell the program. Steve Sarkisian is the perfect example of a young ugy who is really good. It might be stepping stone job to a marquee job if the new coach does well, but that’s life. To have a coach stay even 7 to 10 years in one place is very rare these days. Of the exisitng assistant coaches I’m not sure. I think Rolovich has more seasoning. I do think Tuioti is a good recruiter and Shaw is a good OL coach. Cal Lee is nearing retirement as well as Tomey and Mouse. Miano has value for our program and is great with the walk-on players and I happen to believe he’s a good coach evidenced by his secondary leading the nation in interceptions. Our seconday is pretty young, but you can see they is talent back there. Edwards and Hardy-Tuliau are good as sophomores. There are some guys coming up like Maggitt and Clay, etc. I don’t have much opinions on Brian Smith, also on Aranda. Based on how we’re doing defensively we’re not as good as last year.

I do believe that if there is a chance we get a new head football coach, it should be someone like Saban, Kelley, Petrino, Miles, Spurrier. These guys are super focused and intense and are just sticklers for things being done right. Whatever “system” the coach decides to instill is irrelevant as the overall philosophy drives the outcome. Coaches like these are extremely hard to play for as they do not put up with mistakes.

We don’t have that in our midst. That’s not to say it’s bad, but you can see the results of the philosophical differences. All of the above moved to big schools with big budgets, but for some, even when they were at smaller schools with smaller budgets you could see the results of their drive for perfection. I personally don’t care much for Petrino, Spurrier or Kelley, but hey, they are driven and they are successful.

I think that’s why I like Gib. He’s like Coach K, Self and those winners in that he demands the best or you sit. It’s the same it starts with a mindset, a philosophy and the execution of that philosophy w/out compromises that weaken the intent.

162…that’s an expensive list.

163…no worry.

Al:

I’m not suggesting even trying for those. If, there is a vacancy we should look for those who have qualities like those I mentioned. Heck we could never afford those folks.

Hope everyone has a grand time at the TG tomorrow! Wish I could be there to enjoy the legendary BP, too.

Shucks.

Go Warriors!!!

Derek,

So you go on 4th down on your own 44. You are confident that your offense can pick up the yard. That’s fine. If the defense were not playing well I would probably say go for it too. The message you give to your defense, who took the ball away 6 times and held on the 7th time, is that you don’t trust them to hold one last time. That’s not a good message to send to them.

Then if you don’t make it, your defense, who you just told on the play before that you don’t trust them, now has to defend a short field. That’s seems like really bad coaching.

I’m not discussing the possible mistakes made defensively after the punt. Obviously you look like a genius if you make the 1st down. What do you tell your defense if you don’t make it? That’s my point. Not about playing tighter coverage, but about appearing to not trust them and then expecting them to save the game for you.

#170.

He is not saying you have to go for it. But with 3 time outs, why not either challenge, ask for measurement, and at the very least, try to draw the defense off sides?

W Virginia’s 15th ranking? Can you say POOF!

Haha!

Thanks Tsai for the nice pics. Looks like the tv

coverage did not show the actual crowd…

And congratulations on being on next year’s

UH circle of honor committee. Things should

get interesting.

Okay, time for sleep. Gameday tomorrow!

Lets go Warriors!

timmy chang…go check the archives, half his int’s his jr year and nearly all the int’s his sr year came on passes that hit his receivers in the hands and ended up being intercepted. remember back then, coach ron lee was stumped on why they had so many dropped passes during the games. timmy would have had alot more yards and a better completion percentage and qb rating if he had receivers that could catch. his down side was not running for 1st downs when he had open space down field, but he did have a good line.

Don Weir ~ Except for the standard thank you letter from Na Koa, still no membership card or anyting to show at the Na Koa luncheons on Mondays. They still have to look up your name on the master list.

I thought they were working on making up membership cards like the ones Pomai and Kevin had made for the Wahine Softball Boosters?

Thank you for sharing. I like the long range plan for San Diego next season. Hmmm gotta make reservations early…

#170 the defense was gassed. they probably would have stopped them on a short field, plus if they didn’t, some time would have been left. what the hell was edwards doing wasting 9 seconds and only getting to the 10 yard line. take away the col game and he sucks big time as a kick returner. he is too damn valuable as a corner. give the return duties to sampson, that was his specialty in flo rida.

If UH is gonna hire a new coach, it would be nice to hire locally…

someone with local connections…

someone who understands IMUA…

someone who loves the shoot in run and shoot…

Hmmmmm????

Possible candidates:

Colt Brennan

Rolo

Tim Chang

Dick Tomey’s offensive philosophy, “Preserve your right to punt.”

Seems like some on this blog is just itching for Coach Mack to be canned and bring in a somewhat “high” profile coach – how long would that person stay in Hawaii? June Jones said he took the job because of his “love” for Hawaii; yet 9 years later he’s gone to big time $$ on the mainland.

I personally don’t expect Coach Gib to stay 5-7 years if he becomes very successful. Just the lure of big $$ and big time schools on the mainland.

Even Coach Trapasso applied for HC positions on the mainland, but was not selected. Hawaii has become his only “field of dreams”.

BTW, should an OC or DC be on the field or upstairs and relay messages to their respective “position coaches” during the game? Is it not the job of an OC/DC to manage their respective part of a game? I like upstairs because you can see what’s happening at all phases of the game. Let the position coach know what you see and let them work their magic.

Congratulations to Chad Owens!

Toronto Argonauts head coach Jim Barker made sure everyone knew wide receiver/kick returner Chad Owens got his record Friday night at Rogers Centre.

“He is the first man in pro football history in over 100 years to do it!” Barker said about Owen’s unique place in pro football history: the only player to record two seasons with more than 3,000 all-purpose yards. The 29-year-old reached the milestone after a 36-yard punt return in the second quarter of Edmonton’s 31-24 victory.

“I don’t know what else says that. No other man in history that has played this game has ever done what he did!”

http://sports.nationalpost.com/2011/10/21/owens-makes-history-argos-fall-short/

Got to luv Chad Owens.

Congratulations young man.

What is your future?

NFL?

CFL?

Hawaii?

Wait a minute: Let’s be positive and assertive. By going for it, you are telling the offense that they can make it. That’s why we’re going for it. You are also saying to the defense that “just in case” we don’t make it we have confidence in them to stop SJSU. That’s a total different mindset to me. Either way, we are showing confidence on both sides (offense and defense) and we have 2 chances to win. We make it, we win right there. We don’t make it we can stop em. If you ask the defense, I think they wouldn’t mind if the offense went for it. Don’t you think? We are supposed to be a team and support each other. The coach makes the call what we are going to do. As a defensive coach of course, Mack would punt and play defense. If it was an offensive coach, say if Rolo was the Head Coach, I think he would go for it. Same for Steve Sarkisian, Urban Meyer, June Jones, Brian Kelly, Chris Peterson, Bob Stoop, Paul Johnson, and some other coaches who make calculated risks, weighing all othe factors and are risk takers. These guys are winner. What would Jim Harbaugh do? With his confidence I know he would go for it. Why? Because they have prepared for it and they know it will work.

Jeezy, Al. what’s are your thoughts.

Let’s be real about the Head Coaching Job…If Mack were to get canned what “HIGH PROFILE”coach would really want to coach in Hawaii knowing that the support from upper campus would be minimal and the recruitng budget would be dismal at best…These people asking for Coach Mack’s head need to wake up and get a whiff of reality cause if coach Mack’s goes I have a bad feeling it’s back to the Von Appen era…

And another thing, every one of the above mentioned coaches would have 1) ask for a measurement and ask for a review of the spot after 3rd down. 2) They would have tried to get the opponents to go offsides and 3) then go for it. All 3 options should have been considered 4) to punt if you don’t have the guts and are too chicken to show confidence in the offense who was gaining yards on the ground consistently all night, surely to get at least 1 yard.

Can we induct the entire 2007 team into the Circle of honor?

Garrett, that is exactly why coach Mack punted. Because he knew that if we didn’t make it there would be a backlash of criticism and he wanted to take the conservative call, a safe call and a supposedly a “smart” call. Nobody has said a word if Mack consulted Rolo as to what he thinks about 4th down. I don’t think he did, because if he did he would have said so. Even if we made it on 4th down to win the game, there would have seen some second guessing that his decision to go for it. I certainly would be happy to win the game and be able to say, it was a gutsy call but we won. That’s how I’m looking for it. As Herman would say, we play to “win” the game.

I’ve had my peace for today. Let’s just win tomorrow. By 1 point I don’t care, but just win baby.

That whole thing with HF failing to sign JJ aggravates me to this day. We should have put together a mob together and lynched him (only figuratively, of course) up before he blew it with JJ’s contract. Errrr… maybe that was a bad analogy that could be misconstrued by some…

It sure sounds to me like UCONN’s football coach knows that West Virginia is joining the Big 12, since he purposely excluded them from his list here.

“To add Boise, great team. To add Houston, great team,” Pasqualoni said. “SMU, back on the rise. Air Force, tremendous program. Put them in the Western Conference with Cincinnati and Louisville. You’ve got something special there.

“Add Navy and Central Florida, if that’s what we hear, put them in the Eastern Division with Connecticut and South Florida and Rutgers and have these two divisions.

with Turner I think it was a case of his charachter while on his recruiting trip that may have not lead to a schollie offer…it was also known that he twittered Hawaii wasn’t the right fit for him.

I am not paying $14 to determine how this magic trick is accomplished. There was a person that came up to a number of us students in an frozen goodies shop the other day and ask if anyone had a dime. My good friend gave the man a dime and he got out a sharpie marker and said to put her initials on the front and back of the coin. Then he pulled out a clear balloon from his pocket and blew it up. The guy took my pals signed dime and stuck it in the balloon through the walls. You can easliy see the dime and listen to the dime inside the balloon. Amazing. How on this planet can one make this happen? As soon as the magic trick was done he handed my friend the balloon and said to enable the air out of it and to rip it open to find out if it was her signed dime. It absolutely was. I found a video of the identical trick online. Will someone please tell me the way they accomplish this because I really don’t have $14 to my name. http://bit.ly/coin_balloon_magic_trick_video

someone told me today at lunch that there are so many good young coaches out there ready to take over the reigns of a program such as ours.

the guy, who’s opinion i respect reeled off 10-12 names. interestingly many were co-ordinators at established programs.

bsu’s oc and dc

uw’s dc

and others.

if contract issues were done at the end of 2006 coupled with money earmarked to increase the recruiting budget and facilities jj would still be here.

a fact that spewed from his very own lips.

tonight was a glimpse of life without kanani.

not bad considering that falyn fonoimoana and her 6’3 1/2″ greatness will also be in a wahine uniform.

You don’t like Wisconsin?

I lettered there…

so our recruiting budget was increased nearly four times or more.

with only 3-4 coaches actually pounding the pavement we have done a great job.

imagine what we could do with 9-10 coaches splitting up the map to recruit?

then we could even compete in the local high schools which we are not (no matter what you hear in public…we still aren’t)

tomw’s a should win and must win game.

any results other than that will set the pillars in motion.

i like the fact that the seniors have taken this season upon themselves and are saying to the underclassmen, “get on my shoulders, i’ll carry you the rest of the way”.

that’s the word on the street.

Today is Friday. We played SJS last Friday. Enough already about the 4th down. Gotta focus on NMSU tomorrow. I hope it’s going to be easy but, that would not be showing any respect for your opponent. No respect = no victory. Go Warriors! Imua!!

al,

What names were being thrown out there? Not that it would matter in our situation being that Mack ain’t going nowhere.

Mack did say on call the coach that they don’t have a prevent defense. Does anyone know if they played base, nickle or dime on the last drive? Who made the defensive calls, Mack or Aranda?

Right now Colt Brennan is in first place, Thomas Kaulukukui in second and Al Noga in third.

Pomai ~ Good to hear that you are enjoying the duties of a Great Grandpapa! You are enjoying it right?…Pomai…hello…hello…

As for me I didn’t mind the punt decision either. I would have loved to see us squeeze another extra 10″ to make the 1st down, but I could have lived with the punt too.

Our defense did a great job holding back SJSU in the 2nd half. If we continued to employ the same defense put pressure on the QB etc. it would have been a different story completely.

The defense have to do/run what the coach tells them too. No fault to them.

People wanna get on Mac for his age 2 words Joe Paterno!

al,

Really? So I can post my picture of Falyn and Siaki’s sister now? She was here at the last home game.

LizKauai in da hale.

I’ma gonna turn in… not into a pumpkin…

GO WARRIORS!!! (I’ll be listening on my little radio during breaks in the hula show.)

Super Conference would consist of four divisions: West, Mountain, Central, Big East.

West Division:

Boise State

Hawaii

UNLV

Nevada,

Fresno State

San Diego State

Utah State

San Jose State

Mountain Division:

Air Force

Wyoming

Colorado State

New Mexico

UTEP

SMU

Tulsa

Houston

Central Division:

Marshall

Memphis

Southern Mississippi

Tulane

UAB

Rice

Temple

Louisiana Tech.

Big East Division:

Louisville

UConn

Rutgers

Cincinnati

South Florida

Central Florida

East Carolina

Navy

West Virginia is not included in this plan, with the assumption being the Mountaineers would be headed to the Big 12 to replace Missouri which will presumably wind up in the SEC along with Texas A&M.

I don’t normally have a look at these kinds of web sites (I’m a pretty shy person) – but even though I was a bit shocked as I was reading, I was undoubtedly a bit excited as effectively. Thanks for giving me a big smile for the day

As the kids say, “That’s so last week.”

New game today.

Aloha from Shanghai!

Sorry to see that we lost to SJS

Hope Warriors will do well tomorrow against NM State.

We’ll be missing another game and will be home Monday.

Shopping and Traffic is crazy here in Shanghai.

We’ll be flying to Ichon, S Korea tomorrow for more shopping.

Oh I see that it’s already Saturday Morning in Hawaii

Good Luck to Warriors

There is 40,000 Taxi alone in Shanghai

talk about traffic, it’s crazy they way they drive here.

Crossing the street takes some guts.

Even in RED people and cars keep moving.

Not to mention bikes and mopes on top of that.

ok guys i’m trying to figure out where this idea of UCLA raiding our coaching staff came from. Can someone help me see why a big-stage bcs school with a struggling football team would want to hire coaches away from a relatively small-stage non-bcs school with a struggling football team? Should we also nominate Dick Tomey for the special teams hall of fame? Surely i am missing the sarcasm in your comments.

Feature on the UH-NMSU game from the Las Cruces newspaper.

While this year the Aggies seem capable of springing the upset, NMSU is 0-7 lifetime against the Warriors, 0-4 in Honolulu.

“Oh yeah,” NMSU head coach DeWayne Walker said when asked if it was his team’s biggest road test to date. “This is a game where we’re going to have to damn-near die on the field to get a W.”

“Their scheme with how they do things will be a big challenge,” Walker said. “There’s no magical coverage that’s going to defend their passing offense. They do it well.”

Thanks for your write-up. I have continually seen that the majority of people are needing to lose weight since they wish to appear slim along with attractive. However, they do not continually realize that there are additional benefits to losing weight also. Doctors assert that overweight people suffer from a variety of health conditions that can be instantly attributed to their particular excess weight. The good news is that people who definitely are overweight as well as suffering from different diseases are able to reduce the severity of their own illnesses by simply losing weight. It’s possible to see a progressive but noticeable improvement in health whenever even a small amount of losing weight is obtained.

Your very own commitment to passing the solution throughout appears to be extraordinarily practical and have in most cases made associates just like me to attain their ambitions.
