Fare play
Nevada will be the first football team to take advantage of the Kokua assistance program when it charters to Hawaii on UH’s dime.
OK, make that 1,500,000 dimes.
As part of the … er … um … agreement for joining the Mountain West, the Warriors are paying each visiting team from the Pacific time zone up to $150,000 to charter to and from Hawaii. (It’s $175,000 for charters if your team is in a city where your nose bleeds regularly.)
The Pack also will be staying at Turtle Bay to avoid distractions.
Not sure where the Pack’s fans will stay, or how many will be making the trip.
According to a Dec. 18 Reno Gazette-Journal article on the 2011 Hawaii Bowl: “As of Thursday afternoon, Nevada had sold just 10 tickets through phone sales, but had distributed about 600 because pass-list tickets count in tickets distributed. The Hawaii Bowl, mostly because of its annual Christmas Eve date has historically not been a well-attended game by fans of mainland teams. In 2009, there were about 150-200 Wolf Pack fans at the Hawaii Bowl.”
It should be a close race to Aloha Stadium. The Pack is taking the scenic route from the North Shore. The Warriors stay in Waikiki the day of a home game. The Aloha Festivals Floral Parade is this Saturday. UH has made arrangement for a police escort to the game.

If you ever need an event, call the Hawaii Five-0 crew. They were filming in our neighborhood last night, and they’re the most polite and well-organized group. Plus, they employ a lot of people. Good for the economy. Good for Hawaii.
st, any chance afusia moves to DT? He was D player of the year in high school
2nd!
Morning!
top5
Good Morning!
Jeezy:
Excellent suggestion.
No plans for that right now because he’s the No. 2 center, but I suppose Kapua Sai can be the backup center.
i was thinkin the same, esp bc Ben Clarke is the starting C and only a frosh. Sai and/or Chauncey Winchester-Makainai can be the back up C.
Afusia looks like he plays w a good pad level.
For those wondering what side of the field we will be on. Bobby Curran said that WAC rules required home teams to be on the opposite side of the press box.
The MWC however only recommends but not requires the home team to be on the opposite side of the press box.
Curran said expect Hawaii to be on the visitors side on Saturday.
Good morning Tsaikos!!
If the teams switch sides, how am I going to say “Hi” to Rolo?? The coaches change sides of the pressbox also. Bummer.
do u have any recruiting news?
Wait. Which visitor’s side? Last year’s visitor side or this year’s visitor side?
Hawaii will be on the same side as the press box (makai).
I wonder if we get to switch press boxes with the governor? Word is his booth in the South end zone has more urinals.
That’s the good thing about watching the game on television. We get to see all sides.
UHAD should pony up the money to make sure our team gets a police escort from waikiki to the stadium.
I saw a police escort as the buses were pulling up to the Warrior Walk but they weren’t with the team the whole way.
So, the visitor side is now the home side.
Don’t tell RNO about the Haleiwa Bridge! Shhhhh…
#13 ST,
But how is the chicken in the gov’s box? That’s more important haha.
We had a dinner reservation in Waikiki, but when we reached Kalakaua Ave at 5:15 pm, the police had blocked the entrance because of a parade.
We couldn’t access the restaurant from a side street, either, because of the parade.
Ended up at the Ilikai for dinner, instead.
ST, did you see the Five-0 crew guy open two bottles of water and pour it into a bowl for neighborhood dogs? I was thinking, wow! the dogs are getting better treatment than the humans. Such is life. It is off to work I go…
Have you ever wondered just who are the members of Na Koa Football Club? Well they come from all walks of life, range widely in ages and come from all over the country. The common thread is that they are all passionate supporters of Warrior Football. We restart our member spotlight series with Darshan Singh, one of our newest members.
http://www.nakoa.org/2012/09/na-koa-member-spotlight-darshan-singh/
IWWTHM:
Lol. Quite true.
Mike: mahalo for the link.
Darshan: great interview.
follow on to ST’s post about Hawaii 5-0 filming – dang, their lights are so bright it makes day out of night!!
Midori was concerned, but a nice cop waived her on at the film site!
Real cop or Hawaii Five-0 cop?
Chances are that we will see ST on Hawaii Five-0, watering the yard.
Eh…
Darn that Darshan fella seems pretty cool… 🙂
Thanks for the bio, Na Koa Mike.
That Darshan guy has some nice Beats headsets.
Thanks Gigi…
lol… thanks ST… They’re pretty awesome…
Gigi:
Apple can play a victim.
He plays the victim a lot.
Nice write up WarriorNY!!
I going cheer for WarriorNY in addition to my fav Scotty Nguyen on the WSOP.
All credit for the Na Koa Member Spotlight series goes to PowderPuff. She does all the work, I just do the upload and notice.
Thanks Stretch & PowderPuff for letting me be spotlighted… Thanks Na Koa Mike for the link…
If ever there was an ideal time to strike…How about Thursday or whenever UNR checks in.
Imagine the fun!
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505245_162-57513238/strike-authorized-for-north-shore-oahu-resort/
nice…warriorny!
here i thought you were an old guy.
oops.
go warriors!
i was also thinking that perhaps we need afusia on defense.
i was also thinking about recruiting news.
hmmmm.
IWWTHM,
Haha, thanks1
Note: if you wanna be on 5-0, don’t piss off the production assistants, they control whether or not you get called back
Good morning Hawaii!!
i always thought that mike andrade would be the sleeper of the year.
all he needs is to get up to snuff on the defensive schemes and he’ll play faster.
he reminds me of the greatest defensive lineman ever to play for the warriors…levi stanley.
Great to see the NY Tsaiko Chapter pres on Na Koa…Woo Hoo. Great write up.
Good morning Tsaikos….
Too bad about Salas….Reports are that he was released today from the Patriots….
turtle bay…great timing for the bridge work in wahiawa
Tsai – Psy – Gangnam style.
Ooops haha….WarriorNY, I e-mailed you telling you your Member Spotlight is up on the Nā Koa home page. Sorry, I move like the blog clock in my semi-retirement. 🙂 But yes, WarriorNY, your answers were just so real, so straight-from-the-heart….loved them!
IF anyone else wants to be featured in the Nā Koa Member Spotlight, we’d love to hear from you. Let us know, or you can e-mail me at powderpuff (at) hawaii (dot) rr (dot) com.
The pressbox needs more women’s toilets, period. I’ve had the pleasure of trading in my female card a few times. HAHA!
Good morning Tsaikos!
Nice bio, WarriorNY!
Puppies need to leave North Shore about 3am, since the bridge will be closed… 😈 🙄
GO WAHINE!
GO WARRIORS!
Ok gangy, spread the word. Best time to view the turtles at Laniakea, on the North Shore, is Saturday between 11am and 1:30pm. Lots of parking along the road side or drive slow to see the turtles from your car.
Also small kind North, North West swell is coming on Saturday. So wax those sticks and shoot the tubes before the game.
It the Turtle Bay employees go on strike this week, Ault will have at least one distraction.
Hawai’i 50!
Ault and the ‘pack can go the other way and take the H-3, if they smaht.
I wanna go to the Nevada game, but my sister scheduled family pictures that evening. I’m just not getting a break to get to the game!
wait a minute, you’re right! They were voting last week – what was the outcome of that? Maybe Local 5 will find a way to tell UNR not to stay at Turtle Bay too. Awwww Stretch, I know you were looking forward to seeing Rolo in the box…I guess we’ll see. Maybe you should move your seat to the South Endzone side. 🙂
jojo,
come for a portion of the game. better than nothing.
PP,
Please see my post #37
I know the turtle bay workers union authorized a strike so we shall see what happens…I have a co-worker who’s getting married next month at turtle bay and she’s is super stressed out righ now
jojo,
Tell you sister, it’s time think outside of the box. Take family pictures in a more natural environment… a family-oriented environment… like a tailgate party… or a football stadium…
IWWTHM, ah yes…I was golfing up there last Thursday and they were out there being quite vocal along Kamehameha Highway getting everyone to vote. Bryson, aw man…that is awful to have your wedding marred by a strike…hopefully they settle (if they walk out) and are back to work by her wedding date.
ST:
she says a real live HPD type officer!!
PP,
Let Ault get his own towels and make his own bed! =P
that deal to get into the MWC still burns me.
…. or should i say “deal”.
On a saturday, Turtle Bay to Kaneohe to Halawa is not a fast short cut. Hour half minimum.
If its pouring like today on the Eastside, the Waikane bridge could overflow 🙂
Orther than Ault, the only jerk visiting coache I met (and i met them all during Von Appen and June Jones days, was John L. Smith when he was at Michigan State and gary barnett when he was at Northwestern. All of the others, including the Cincy coach Rick Minter and the Houston coach (forget his name), were decent guys. The best, IMHO, were dana Dimmel when he was at Wyoming and John Robinson at UNLV. Oh yeah, probably the nicest was John Ralston (San Jose) in what I think was one of his last games.
Smith thought the refs were Hawaii homers and Barnett ran it up. Smith now at Arky is proving to be the ultimate nutcase in coaching. The jerk for Cincinnati was their AD who was screaming at the refs all night while his palyers were trsh talking.
WarriorNY:
nice picture – how far did you advance in the poker tournament?
What “town” on Molokai? My UH roommate grew up in that “pineapple” community on top of the hill looking towards Oahu.
On a Saturday, Turtle Bay to Wahiawa to Halawa is not a fast short cut. 45 minute minimum. That’s with the Karsten Thot Bridge. 🙂
JoJo:
Game starts at 4:30 p.m., not 6, so now you can go.
… And the tailgate starts on Thursday, for some.
And that’s assuming the special-duty escorts show up.
Uh, I mean, police escorts.
I think special-duty escorts are paid by the hour.
Now that UH practices in the afternoon, I get to watch Wings reruns.
I miss the ’90s. Where have you gone Fay, Roy and Helen?
ST, can you tell us any more about the detail today RE Daley’s sponsorship by a dairy company? I wouldn’t have thought that was possible under NCAA rules.
Maybe KoaMahu can set up Nevada with some special duty escorts.. HUUUUUI!!!!!
Don’t Nike and Under Armour sponsor? Don’t see why a dairy can’t.
No forget, Wahine VB plays today. Watch it on the Big West stream.
hawkpeter, i am assuming that was a joke, in regards to the sponsorship. say, instead of his weight gain being due to CytoSport (muscle milk and cytomax), his weight gain is due to Meadow Gold. milk and juice.
or maybe meadow gold sponsors the football team and supplies them w milk and juice.
Now if that sponsor uses that player in a commercial endorsing the product then you are crossing the sideline out of bounds.
#78:
IIRC, the basketball team got dinged for using UH players in the background of a auto commerical – implying that they approved of the cars for sale by the dealership.
Wasn’t Rick Petino a first or second year coach at UH that year?
am I getting my “facts” or memory all homajagged again?
questions are useful because it’s not a statement of fact, but asking for help from others who are more knowledgable than me.
I read Dave’s editorial in today’s paper and could not agree more, and I drink beer.
A few years back, I decided I wanted to go see UH play at UNLV, there were so many fights in the stands it was just nuts. I had my family with me and they said they’d never go back to UNLV to watch a UH game…ever. There were so may drunk people around.
It seems that things are getting that way a Aloha Stadium. I’ve since given up my season tickets for PPV, but if there’s even a half truth to what was written, it’s bad.
I also agree that the State is just setting itself up for a major lawsuit as someone will get seriously injured due to an alcohol fueled melee. Too bad.
Someone on the WSN message board claims the fight this past Saturday was really just rowdy military folks back from deployment getting into it with each other.
I dunno..
I suggested years ago that the stadium cease alcohol sales during the halftime and that the security with the assistance of HPD or sheriffs monitor DUI-like checks at the entrances to stop people that appear to be too drunk to enter the game.
@A-House
Ahh, the Bruce O’Neil era, or error.
WarriorNYC,
Great write up. I was left with 2 questions after it though.
1: What is the best finish you have had in the poker world tour?
2: Is that what you do for a living?
#78 Jimmy the Lock
#79 A-House
You are referring to the “Cutter (Ford) Five”. Bruce O’Neil was the head coach and Rick Petino was an asst. coach.
#69 ST…Now now…the tailgates usually don’t get started to at the earliest Friday….LOL
GOOD MORNING HAWAII!

What’s up with the low ticket sales for the football game this week? I was reading on another blog that ticket sales are down from last weeks game against Lamar. Is that true? What’s up with that?
4:30PM is too early? Too hot with the sun still out?
There are people in Hawaii that use excuses like that.
#89…Kevin…you forgot, “no mo nuff time for drink b4 da game.”
88. Good reminder, Tom. WDoc- thank you for posting the initial link.
Don’t forget, the game is not on PPV. It is on regular cable NBC Sports Network (regular cable ch 19, digital ch 200-something?)…..
H5-0. If the crew is nice, how come that veterans tour operator made hu-hu about something that happened at Punchbowl? Articles or letters to the editor was in the Tizer for several days.
Pitino was an assistant or grad assistant, and got promoted to interim coach for several games at the end of the season after everyone else got fired because on the NCAA violations. Something happened and now he doesn’t mention his time in Hawaii nor list it on his resume.
al,
I hope I don’t give off too old a vibe… haha
PP,
No worries haha, I saw it posted on here this morning and was kind of surprised but in a good way…
A-House & Will-I-AM,
I play mostly the cash games now but used to play quite a bit online. The picture was taken at the WSOP main event last year. My brother is the real poker pro in the family. He nearly won his first bracelet at the WSOP in the Heads Up event this year. He got really deep in the Main Event this year as well.
What music were they going to play when the team walk in? I noticed the band didn’t play the H5-0 theme… how come no complaints? JJ did the same thing (changed the music), and plenny complaints… also no cheerleader on the surf board…
The fight this past weekend is on youtube.
Search Aloha Stadium Fight 2012
Says they were Texas Marines.
Weird thing is everyone involved was wearing Hawaii tee shirts.
Chawan_Cut was near the action but out of harms way
Ah yes, today’s reminder of how the WAC got snookered. Makes the Wonder fiasco seem so petty.
I can’t recall the last time I sat and watched an entire UH football game; however, I watched the entire Lamar game and came with this conclusion. This is the first time I can recall not seeing any fat players on the UH team. The entire team looked lean, and I guess Lamar will agree with me, mean. I liked the no long hair hanging out from their helmets look. This year’s team really looked like a football TEAM! I also enjoy watching the players being interviewed after practice/games WEARING shirts and not bare chested. After all, you’re being allowed into my home, so be respectable.
Watched the Coach Chow’s TV show and I wondered with the past two coaches, did they ever acknowledge the UH band leader, Nakamura? From Chow’s comments pertaining to the students, I get that he sincerely wants the students to enjoy the football games and enjoy their college experience. Since I went to UH in the early 60’s, collegiate football was almost non-existant. Playing the Tantalus Rangers didn’t count. Enjoyed basketball in Klum gym though.
GO BOWS! (Just showing you that I’m an old school alumni of UH.)
Where can we watch the game online?
Players are being interviewed in the actual homes of Hawaii residents now?

#77, spot on comment. I agree that someone like Meadow Gold is sponsoring UH Athletics and providing POG and milk products.
3 great tickets left for SDSU @$23 each–game almost sold out!
Hawaii-San Diego St in San Diego on Oct. 6: @$23 each for 40 yard line SIDELINE SEATS (these just became available but only few left) in the Plaza level one level above the field (or $16 for 20 yard line field level 15-24 rows up) all behind our Warriors bench (UH ticket office price is $26 each). FIREWORKS SHOW right after the game! This will be a critical conference game and our boys need your support; so far we have almost 200 Warrior fans in our group; including former great players Gary Allen, Tim Grasso, JR Directo & Nicky Clark.
Hawaii-Fresno St in Fresno on Nov. 3: I have 50 yard sideline seats right behind our Warrior bench for $60 each in Section 31; rows 9 thru 12—you can reach out and touch the players! This will be another critical conference game; so far we have almost 80 Warrior fans in our group.
email me at: tomkitaguchi@yahoo.com
It looked like the participants of the fight at Aloha Stadium were military…The police ended up NOT arresting any of the combatants, although they we both drunk and disorderly. I suggest they has some military police at the games do deal with these folks or at least, report them to their COs. I’m sure the military doesn’t want any bad publicity or their soldiers to promote ill-will in the community. I hope some of the military brass watches the You Tube video and address the situation with the participants.
#13 Hey ST, the gov doesn’t have more urinals dey jus kiddie size. UH 28, UN 24
ST,
Wings…. That was an awesome show!
Ahh I see some of you have already thought about the bridge in Wahiawa and the Turtle Bay strike. I’m so happy that the wolfpack will be in a no distraction area so will not make any further comments. Do not let fans who had too much in the parking lot into the stadium to spoil the game for the rest of the fans. It’s just the small few idiots who no can handle their booze and choose to act like fools. The state or should I say the Stadium Authority Board are letting profits dictate common sense.
They should cordon a section for the inebriated. If someone is found inebriated, they should be escorted to that area to sober up, someone comes to pick them up, or to sit until the game is over.
MIH – they do have that section like that, it’s outside the stadium….
I’m reading on some sports blogs that Greg Salas has just signed on with Patriots practice squad….which is a good thing for Salas.
PP – thanks for another NaKoa Tsai-ko highlight!
Yea for Salas!
GO WARRIORS!
Many mahalos Tom K for the tickets to the SDSU game.
From a former players perspective:
I attended Warrior practice yesterday. What a difference a year makes. Players ran from station to station at the sound of the horn (warning: do not stand by the timer at practice when he toots the horn), timed segments were intense in terms of work, Tommy has them doing plyometrics to decrease injuries, coach’s had the players on task for the entire segments. The put it bluntly, the practice ran like clockwork. How refreshing!!!

MadeinHawaii…I was trying to figure out the spelling of inebriated so that I could use one dakine big word but gave up so mahalo.
I don’t Nevada is going to get the kind of yardage in there past games. This Hawaii defense is going to carry this team. Me likes what I have seen so far from the first two games. Remember USC could not run against Hawaii.
I don’t think Nevada is going to get the kind of yardage in their past games. This Hawaii defense is going to carry this team. Me likes what I have seen so far from the first two games. Remember USC could not run against Hawaii.
Jojo…I agree. Tell your fam to take pictures next to the beautiful waters of Pearl Harbor…then stay for lunch….. 🙂
Nice to see Molokai WarriorNY write up.
He should get a role in Hawaii 5-0…
if they ever shoot in the big apple.
If tickets sales for the upcoming game has been slow, I am not surprised…that’s how Hawaii fans are. I do believe that if the defense shuts out or comes close to shutting out Nevada and special teams looks like they did against Lamar, more people will start to fill seats. Hawaii fans are funny that way. The enjoy the points on the board, but they really like the team with a stout defense, especially against an opponent who supposedly has the “weapons” to pile it on. This is an important game for the program.
Hawaii loves defense as we saw during the Tomey era. Not taking anything away from Coach’s offense as I know it will come around and be quite exciting (something the Tomey era struggled with).
Just be patient and watch the picture start to take form. Coach knows what he is doing and I for one trust the product he is putting on the field.
A good blog to quote…
…another blog that makes the same point……
Maybe Perry and Price can play some bridge songs this week, like”
“Bridge Over Troubled Waters” (Simon Garfunkle)
“Burning Bridges” (Kelly’s Heros)…
Who is Brad Jones in relation to the football program?
Btw, I sent an email to Carl Clapp and Coach Chow suggesting that UHAD send out a thank you message email to all students/faculty for attending the game.
My suggestion didn’t fall on deaf ears! 🙂
The following was sent out today.
——
Aloha UH Manoa students:
There were many things that were pleasing about our football team’s home-opening win last Saturday, but none was more gratifying than the 1,803 UH Manoa students who turned out to cheer on the Warriors. Thanks so much to those who came!
The students were enthusiastic, spirited and made their presence known by waving pompons and rally towels, while cheering loudly. Now, that’s the type of atmosphere we need at all of our home games, so the team plays its best and everyone gets to experience a top-notch collegiate football environment.
Please take full advantage of the free bus transportation from campus to Aloha Stadium and the ease of simply showing your valid UH Manoa identification cards in order to enter the stadium at Gates 1, 7 or 8.
Three thousand (3,000) green and white pompons will be distributed in the student sections before the game. Also, UH Manoa students will have the chance to compete in the on-field “Quarterback Challenge” and win a Vacations Hawaii Trip to Las Vegas during the first timeout of the fourth quarter (register pre-game at Gate 7).
This Saturday, we play our inaugural Mountain West Conference game at 4:30 p.m. against a tough Nevada squad on national television. Please come and support the team, while grabbing some television time for yourself as part of a UH student section that is going to demonstrate to the country the passion and pride of “Warrior Nation.”
Mahalo,
Norm Chow
Head Football Coach
Wow! Good job IWWTHM.
dang.
gonna call my granddaughter who just started UHM last month and get her butt in da stadium student section. Thanks for the post 126.
Thanks Coach Chow and Mr. Clapp!
Goooooo Warriors. 😀
Thanks coach Chow and iwwthm.
Ipuman, 5-0
Haha… Thanks… If you got the connections, let me know… 🙂
Wow, so many nice comments out there… Thanks a lot everyone…
wow, that letter…going to the game would seem like a fun thing to do!

Pitino wanted to be named permanent HC but President Matsuda wanted a clean slate and I guess Pitino became hu-hu.
He (Pitino) may have had the support of Reggie Carter, Hollingsworth and a couple other players – and when he left, so did they. Of course they may have gotten suspended by the NCAA – but who knows …
Jojo:
If you say this: “Must be cuter than me”…
Then you no need say this: “Homey need not apply.”

About the alcohol sales at the stadium: i’ve been to Big 10/Pac 10 (back then) football games where there are a TON of drunks in the crowd. You’ve never seen so many people taking swigs from hidden flasks full of hard alcohol. I’ve even seen the extreme of hiding booze in a ziploc baggie to thwart the metal detectors. People will always find a way to get hammered if that’s what they want to do, regardless of the stadium being “dry” or not.
GO WARRIORS!!!
#135…MWAHAHAHAHA….I’d go but I think I’m too tall…. LOL
Really wishing I could be at this weeks game, Go Warriors !!
#140…Warriormojo….I think that question was on the SATs right???
Where is homey BTW??? Haven’t seen him since the T-gate….
#142 Jack Flash….and like one of the posters on Reardon’s story said, “At 8.50 a beer, are people really getting hammered simply by drinking in the stadium?” I think most of the buttheads who get all superman in the stadium because of too much booze get hammered before they’re even in the stadium…or at least close to it.
I for one don’t buy beer in the stadium simply because for $8.50, I can almost buy a 12 pack at Foodland…..
I drink just one beer during the game — and that’s at home!
Yay for PPV!
Didn’t know they sell parking stalls at the Stadium Mall.
Hubby had to park illegally in order to buy a sub from Subway prior to the game.
Good luck to Salas!
Hope he uses the practice squad as a stepping stone to something better.
#146 – do you know how hard it is to maintain your buzz after walking into the stadium and to your seat without buying a drink inside the stadium? plus, most of the fights occur after the 1st quarter – you rarely see a fight near the beginning of the game. i guarantee that it’s the alcohol sales inside the stadium that cause the fights much more than alcohol consumed in the parking lot.
Holy CHOW!
catcj da bus down to da stadium, students, and have fun fun fun!!!! !!!!!!!!!!
IWWTHM: That was a great letter to the students from Coach Chow. Good for you to make the suggestion to him.
#125
Brad Jones is the Director of Football Operations
I believe he handles all of the travel logistics, recruiting coordination, and business operations
With the conversion of UH Webmail (hosted by UH and really antiquated) to a gmail platform, more and more students are using their UH mail as their primary email. What does that mean? They are actually reading their UH mail accounts.
This was a just a small yet free method of getting the “mahalo” out to the students.
Brad Jones apparently took the lead on this. I didn’t initially email him but I received a reply from him and Carl.
Thanks, Don!
#150 Aaron..that may be…but I know guys who pound maybe 8 – 10 beers before going into the stadium…and they seem pretty toasty during the first quarter…and some people I know, I’m not naming names, begin tailgating and imbibing around 9:00 a.m. LOL
All I’m saying is that drinking 6 beers in the stadium would cost a cool $51 plus tip if you are so inclined. That’s a large chunk of change to get plastered at a game versus buying 4 12 packs for that price.
Also, not to imply that no alcohol in the stadium wouldn’t solve some of the problems. After all I did say that guys may be close to getting hammered before they enter the stadium….so that one beer or two may put them over the top while in the stadium.
I would be interested in seeing the numbers as to how many beers were sold at the stadium during any given game. That would be really telling…
Hey IWWTHM…..Where were you this past Saturday??? How come you didn’t stop by the T-gate???
So, are our Warriors ready for Nevada’s hurry-up, 16-seconds-between-plays offense?
Got to be ready to rotate defensive players in just about every first down… Hopefully we don’t give them too many of those.
#159 Always READY….or at least that should be the answer… 🙂
James,
I think the combination of zero alcohol sales inside plus having HPD work with stadium ushers and security at the entrance gates to do a visual check of people that may be too drunk to enter will cut back issues big time.
Banning alcohol on the premises in the parking lot is too Nazi-esque and only punishes the 95% of people that do drink and can handle their liquor and or know what their limit is.
Boy, some people must have lost a lot of money on the game, but sheesh, it’s only a game (and in the 2nd week)…

No mention of women getting into fights during the game?
Don’t they drink, too?
Hmmm.
Reser Stadium (OSU) allows drinking outside the stadium before and after, and during halftime. Did not notice any problems the other year when the Warriors played there.
Security was present at the gates to stop or discourage, I guess, those fans who were ready to do a face plant.
If beer sales were so inconsequential (sp?) to the Stadium Authority, they would have made the call to simply be like most other college venues and cut sales completely. Apparently, the sponsorship from beer companies and the sales are just too profitable for them to act otherwise.
It really boils down to dollars.
I mean the risk for bad publicity, unhappy spectators and a potential lawsuit does not appear to be enough for them to cut the beer. It has to be the dollars.
Dunno if it is just my perception or not. Does it seem Hawai’i has a high tolerance of public intoxication? Just seems that way to me.
‘Course, you can see the same behavior at the Silver Bowl (UNLV) during UH games. Or, are the number and intensity of fights similar or lower when other schools play there, too?
Could it be that in Hawaii, folks just dodoknowhowfoact when they drink? IF people are getting hammered at other stadiums (pac12 included), why is it that UH got more fights in the stands? Maybe we have more stupid people in Hawaii? Beefing has been such a part of the culture of Hawaii. “legal beefs” in the MMA ring are some of the most popular venues in the islands. Beefs is as part of the local Hawaii experience as is cold rice and teri chicken. It’s not a new phenomenon either. I remember my older uncles telling me about how boxing matches were some of the greatest events of days gone by. Not to mention the drunken brawls that would also happen at social dances and other events. I am not making no excuses because I’m sick of it too. Beefs in the stadium stands are LAME. Those beefing are LAME. No mo respect.
BIK
I remember watching the norm chow show (with kekaula) via a link someone provided in the past. Does anyone have a link to the current episode? Is it on youtube?
BIK
Random question.
Why do women (apparently wannabe’s, too) shave their eyebrows off only to draw them back on? Crooked or uneven, no less.
A couple of years ago one of my girls came to school with a different “expression” on her face every day. Angry, questioning, lost, happy, surprised, . . . based solely on the positioning of her hand drawn eyebrows. It was difficult not to laugh and to figure out what she was really feeling that day. One day she had different colored brows because she ran out of one color and had to use a different pencil(?) for the other.
wafan, I’ve decided to go hippie and let my eyebrows grow back. I don’t know why I did the naked eyebrow
jojo . . .
Got carried away plucking, waxing, Nair, shaving?
Andm hope you are not going completely hippie. HA!
Get people fighting in the stands, get people telling others to sit down and be quiet at a sporting event. Get people knitting and reading the newspaper. People quiet on 3rd down when we are on D. Get people letting their goddamn kids run around up and down the stairs and various venues and throwing trash over the railings, get people making house on the front lawn façade of a stadium and they are not even part of the home team….
Pretty sure no one here watches “Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia”, but they could make a four part episode to try to capture the stupid diversity of some Hawaii people that seem to be awkward in public settings.
Wafan,
The modern day hippie is more like a douche-bag “hipster”. The only difference is they dress a little better than the hippies of the 60’s and smell better at least.
Pseudo-intellectuals and as a resident of the PNW, head down to PORTLAND, OR and you will find them all over the place.
Looks like John Smith is filing for bankruptcy.
Not going to be fun being one of his creditors.
Would rather not go to Portland. Their highway system (I-5 in particular) is different.
Sorry to those who live and work there.
Another day of boring and never ending pointless meetings. They must call meetings simoly to justify their positions.
Dang.
Nytal!
We are a gaggle of volunteers and starting a new scheme in our community. Your website provided us with valuable information to work on. You have performed a formidable job and our entire community can be thankful to you.
I would weigh in on the pros and cons of the drinking issue but it is a something that UH can not control. But in the context of the ‘big picture it is quite telling.
UH does not get any revenue from concessions including beer.
This is a stadium authority/commission issue. Thus, it becomes quite political.
Also, look at the ‘big donors’ to UH Athletics. Do you really think UH Athletics wants to lose this source of revenue (check out the banner heading on UH Athletics at http://www.hawaiiathletics.com/news/2012/9/18/FB_0918121221.aspx?path=football
Why do we see other NCAA football venues not allowing beer/wine sales in stadiums during games?
Hey! Wats wrong with PDX? 👿
…actually, only ever spent a few nights in Portland Civic Center, several overnight stays near PDX, but mostly down the 99 and along the Oregon Coast (which is stunningly beautiful!)
Great memories…*tsigh*
Did I mention get casinos? 😈
Been to several CB venues on the mainland and would definitely rank Sam Boyd Stadium as THE worst experience. Afternoon beer sales and the desert sunshine make for a pretty explosive mix.
Other stadia I have visited that don’t sell alcohol seem to have well-controlled, fun-oriented fans.
Prolly the most unique situation I have seen is B$-You’s where alcohol is OK in the parking lot but no sales inside the stadium. The stadium has an open end and at halftime fans stream out to the parking lot for a quick one (or 2) and come back in for the third quarter.
With the scanners that are used now maybe something like that could be done here with a re-scan out and re-re-scan back in.
*If you too bombed and lose your ticket while you outside, oh well…
If they going check fans for CWI (Cheering While Intoxicated) when they walking in why not put 4×4 beams for erryboddy to walk on while they approach the gate. If no can, no can!
Kevin, on # 174
Bingo.
Couldn’t concur more.
Most of the complaincency from those fans just need to sit aside at home, knit sweaters, then ring a bell when they are ready to cheer for the team.
D1,
Good beer in that part of the country tho. REAL beer. 😎
😛
Except for the probability of giving up some big gains, the UH run defense should be stout. USC couldn’t run and don’t expect Nevada to do much better despite their stats. Right now the front seven appear to be the strength of the D. On O, given that this will be the third time they have played together, the coaches know what to tweak to make them better and we should see some new plays. Expect to see Will Gregory in the endzone a couple of times.
Congrats to the Wahine! The days of “uno, dos, adios” matches are pretty much gone. Thank goodness!

Hurry up offenses, gave our defense fits in the past… hopefully Kaumeyer has an answer.

21-10====Ms momo
Madeinawaii, hope your warnings post on Woofpatsies hurry up offense
with 16 seconds between plays is taken seriously by both players and
coaches. With the Chow offense, they won’t get on the field…
madeinHawaii, keyboard stuck…
Mrs. momo became Ms momo? 😯
Does Garret know about this? 😕
And hopefully, our special teams again can take away the ball
as well as the defense…Fumble Rumble, Baby…
😮
🙁
🙄
I like the idea someone had of the stadium security/police having a number fans can text when trouble pops up.
If they banned alcohol at the stadium there wil still be fights.
chow should suspend every drunk student 4 games for being drunk at the games. and the ticket sale is low cause they have’nt proof anthing yet all they did was beat lamar from the oia white division. when they beat somebody then the ticket sale will go up.
Someone needs a hug.
And a padded cell.
Its best to participate in a contest for probably the greatest blogs on the web. I will advocate this website!
el burro…
and some English lessons…
NC seems to taking UH in the right direction. I have not really got a feel for how the team will do playing our real competition, but he is moving in the direction where no matter what happens this season UH will win in the end. I feel like he is really prepping us for the big time.
Is Manoa 1 Imai fussy after a close Wahine volleyball match? Did Cindy Luis block him again?
Oh Steve…. Silly lonely bastard…
el burro go hug warriorny…..warriorny wat u one english professor.?? no act high maka maka just cause you live new york you warriorwannabee.
kitsunegari sounds like one basturd name.
manoa#1,
who said he was talking about you?
How am i a warrior wannabee?
This should be entertaining…
WarriorNY, just got caught up reading and checking the link from Na Koa. That was a very cool write up! So great to hear about you and your Ohana and your support for Warrior football! Go Warriors!
Oh, and don’t feed the trolls 🙂
Glad to hear that the Patriots picked up Salas for the practice team. Go, Greg!
Nite all! See you on the other side of midnight!

Thanks Mo…
Sometimes the trolls ask for it…. Grrr… ok ok I’ll stop…
Goodnight all.
GO WARRIORS!!!
Night, gang!
don’t you know what kitsunegari stands for?
I just couldn’t go away your site prior to suggesting that I actually enjoyed the usual info an individual supply for your visitors? Is going to be back regularly in order to investigate cross-check new posts
Sadly, it’s only a matter of time before someone gets beaten to a pulp or worse at the hands of some alcohol fueled act of violence on Stadium grounds, resulting in the State gets its ass sued and having to pay up $$$ to the victim. People in positions of authority in Hawaii are really “hard head” often, and it takes some tragedy before something is done.
Kind of like Gen MacArthur disregarding and ignoring reports of a large force of Chinese troops assembling on the Yalu River during the Korean War.
Thank you for any other great post. Where else may anyone get that type of information in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I’m on the look for such information.

It ain’t just here.
Real “cute” of Hawaii News Now in their selective coverage of the fight last Saturday. They used footage of students having a beer on campus at the Manoa Gardens Bar as they covered the story.
The uneducated sees this in light of the story about the fight and might assume the UH Manoa students were involved…
Again… FALSE.
People that actually go to the games know exactly the demographic starting problems and a lot of them are old enough to the be the parents or uncles of students.
Meatoga back on the Raiders practice squad.
Kevin,
I saw your comment earlier about Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia… Eh, I used to love that show! I started watching after the Rocky IV vs. Million Dollar Baby Episode years ago. That one’s a classic!
WarriorNY,
Day man. Fighter of the Night man. Champion of the sun. You’re a master of karate and friendship…for everyone. Day man, day man. Uhh ahhahh.
HA! That episode left me in tears. That and the one about the mess they go into trying to get to the World Series.
Getting close to Saturday.
Looking to see Nick’s face.

Ah… home game or Sam Boyd game, here comes the topic of banning alcohol sales in the stadium again!
All I know is… The only other stadium I went to for a NCAA football game was the Big House, and that stadium is dry. Sure, all kinds of drinking outside, but not a single lick of brew sold inside. And weird thing… people are actually still involved in the game! Although, I’m sure my friends wish they were drunk after Appy State came through.
Kevin,
Nice!
And Wafan and Jojo… on the topic of eyebrows…
When I was stationed in Korea the second time, back in the late 80’s through early 90’s, there was this Korean comedienne named Kim Mi Hwa on this hilarious show… bossy as most Korean women are… with this huge, thick, furry, unibrow! Wish we’d taped some of it to watch these many years later.
