Big win for Warriors

Let’s go, Warriors!!!

Wow! Actually first, for a change! Yup, remembering 9/11 and honoring our First Responders and Military for their sacrifices!

And I wish I had a pastrami sammich like the one in the pic, Stephen. Could you put one in your pocket and bring it back for me? 😆

How do the guys look, Stephen? Gametime in 4 hours, I’m going back to bed!

Thanks to your pic we’ll be having pastrami sammiches for brunch.

GO WARRIORS!!!

BEAT ARMY!!!

Good night. Again.

Crud, I slept in.

Need to get showered up and leave the hotel for the 30 minute drive out to the game. Hopefully today’s game will remain entertaining, even though the emotions and significance of playing today will be up there.

Hi DPK! You betcha! Missed the tailgating and fellowship with the Tsaikos! But I have secondbest – I can be with you all vicariously through this wonderful blog by Stephen.

Go Warriors! Imua!

#14 Any=Anyway

It is hard to cheer against Army on 9/11…I hope for no injuries, respectful play, and a Warrior win.

For those who will work today or no PPV, UH-Army game on

channelsurfing.net

Pomai,

BEAT ARMY

Go Warriors!

Anyone know where I can watch the game in Hawaii???

MICHIGAN WARRIOR,

Mahalo for the info,get to watch about an hour before i have to leave….. 🙂

If I have to head out during the game, I’m taking my son’s laptop!!!

It’s out at 227 Lewers Street out in Honolulu. Gonna take a look at their website and menu now…

Any food/drink establishments out there airing the game? High five-ing alone after a touchdown is just not the same . . .

Great Morning All!

IT’S SATURDAY!

ST & Tsaiko Blog Dogs,

On a day of solemn remembrance, may all of our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines who are at harm’s way be kept safe through their tours.

Go Warriors!

#39… little lost warrior… I think some Tsaikos posted maybe a couple of days ago where they might try to meet up at for today’s game. If anyone recalls off-hand, please post that info again here so little lost warrior has somewhere to go!

Other than that, like I said above, Giovanni Pastrami (on Lewers Street in Waikiki) opens at 6am… although, truthfully, I don’t know anything about the place. I just noticed their ad on ESPN1420am (dot) com, and looked them up.

1247

1255

hut hut

GO WARRIORS!

@#39,

Club Genji, Murphy’s, Nancy’s, are some of the spots mentioned earlier. Buffalo Wild Wings will be the place for the ESPN crew…

little lost warrior,

Where are you closer to?

Downtown/Chinatown > Murphy’s Bar & Grill, Merchant St.

McCully-Mo’ili’ili > Club Genji, So. King St. & Hauoli St.

Waikiki > Giovanni Pastrami, Lewers St.

Go Warriors!

Go Wildcats!

GO WARRIORS!!!

BEAT ARMY!!!

Go Warriors!

Morning, Slugger.

Aloha, gmahoney!!!

Touchdown!!!!

Hi Michigan Warrior, my most favorite daughter and her family live in Clawson. Where are you?

channelsurfing dot net is ahead of the radio feed…

Roseville… kinda close to Clawson…

In fact, they got one good store out there that we visit once in a while… Noble’s… we get our sushi from there!

Chee…Nice TD pass

Noble Fish! I know where that is! They are huge Warrior fans, my granddaughter’s name is Brennan, born shortly after the Perfect Season. My daughter cleaned out the Rainbowtique when she was here.

A fine day of rememberance to all!

Listening to Bobby Curran and Robert Kekaula now… dang it! C’mon, channelsurfing…

Great defensive stop! Keep our offense on the field! Let’s go, special teams!!!

#67 sportsforum—thanks! Got the picture—free!

duffer,

Did Liz have a meeting this morning?

duffer,

Yep. think Liz is at a meeting and sneaking updates on iPhone

Good Morning from Pete’s Tavern across AT&T Park – city by the bay. I am here all by myself with my eggs, bacon and potatoes. The manager here said he lived in Waianae. My hotel was crawling with Colorado Buffalo fans – they play at Cal today. Go Warriors…wahoooo!

WooHoo!

TD!!! Good morning, everyone!!!

MI Warrior, good feed on atdhe.net.

Gotta keep it going and pour it on for now… remember… we’re still underdogs!!!

Yeah, got it, girl! Mahalo! Really miss you guys!

Hi, d1! Go wildcats!

Eggs, potatoes & avocado now cooked. Ready for another cuppa kope and another Hawaii TD.

Looks like our game against Navy last year helped prepare many for this Army option attack. C’mon WARRIORS make it 21-0.

PP . . .

Cheer loud (like anyone had to tell you that) and make the Buffalo fans curious.

1st sack for Army. First Hawaii punt comin’ up.

Weird defensive set, and they end up sacking Moniz because of it…

Way to go D!

wafan, I hope UH busses ‘um up next week. I asked them who they play today and they just walked by and said “Cal” all while being super self-absorbed in their black and yellowness. They didn’t even notice my GREEN shirt of their opponent next week. UGH, please…I hope my fellow Tsaikos and friends give ‘um hell in Boulder next week.

Anybody going to the Mountains next week to watch us dominate, Guys here in CO are already talking Shit about us.Hope I don’t get thrown out, might need somebody to watch my back.

Hey PP I wouldn’t have noticed your GREEN shirt either. I’d be looking at your SMILE! 🙂

You were smiling right?

Great game so far, and the blog wishes for classiness are happening. We have our flag out today rather than game banner. The USAA and now Wounded Warrior commercials are *sniff*

Question, why are the Army players wearing Tropic Lightning patches for this season? Coincidence?

Alex Green! Great run…over 20 yds.

Aw duffer…good morning, and give a big high 5 to the kid for me. He’s a super kid.

See Thrasher – they are soooo lame. Kick their Rocky Mountain balls next week! Hey slugger…this place is super cool right across the ballpark. Guess there’s a Giants’ game today too.

Gmorning Gang!

Good to see familiar faces on the blog this early in the morning!

Geev um Warriors!

The way we’re rolling now… we can’t let up! But can’t get too cocky about it either. Pilares TD!!!

Yay for the TD Pilares/Moniz!!!

Good question on the patches, it might be just for this game against Hawaii. I seem to recall them wearing a mix of patches in the past.

Moniz to Pilares = TD! Yay!

ha’a ha’a

Didn’t the announcers on tv say they change patches each week to honor different units?

Still calling him Polaris. They must think Navy is in town.

C’mon defense! Don’t give up any first downs this half!!!

morning powderpuff. enjoy your breakfast.

Slugger, PM the info I’m down.

Let’s go, Defense!!!

Hey A-Joe

Wasssuuup

PowderPuff,

I really like the ATT ballpark. Easy to get to via BART & MUNI. I’ll have to figure out where I can watch the Boise game in Oakland.

his=hit. sheesh.

Morning, Sir…whitey, oh yeah and Mr. d1. Haha, a-joe…see the kinds of things that go through my head when I get nobody fo’ talk to?!? Ha!

This is a very cool place…manager said he worked at Makaha Resort and lived on St. John’s Road in Maili.

Army TD 🙁

What’s up with those push ups!!!!!!!!! LMAO

Now we get the ball back and chance for another score — GOOOOOOO WARRRRRRRIORS!!! 🙂

Just woke up and great to see hawaii on top. GO WARRIORS!

Good morning Hawaii, btw!

wafan- yup, still calling him ‘Polaris.’ Maybe somebody in the press booth can help him out.

Guess the official was watching the ball and not the knee. Should come back a few yds.

Will there be a replay tonight or tomorrow?

San Jose St. down 14-0 to Wisconsin with a minute left in the 1st half. They just had a FG try blocked.

Great escape technique, Moniz!

At least we keep the 1st down.

C’mon O line

I think everyone in the stadium knew that bomb to Salas was comin’ up.

PP – Hmmm, come to think of it, you’re lucky you can’t hear. I’m missing Robert Kekaula on the internet version with the sound ON and am having to listen to the announcers mispronounce our guys’ names and say all kinds of negative things first chance they get. LOL

moniz is holding the ball too long.

UHFan88. Got my ears on too.

Cmon Warriors! No mistakes!

IT’S SATURDAY!!

Gotta say that’s a great name for an Army QB: Trent Steelman Sounds like a Top Gun name.

Happy Birthday and Happy Belated Birthday to all my Tsaiko family!

While waiting on the sidelines O-line, get ready for our next opportunity. Do everything you can to push those chains forward and protect da MZ!

Hey Liz, those things work pretty darned good, yeah?

#188… UHfan808… Born in Queen Kapiolani hospital, grad from Campbell high school… (classmates with a couple of Tsaikos)… after my Army time and Eagle Hardware time, now living with my family in southeast Michigan… A UH fan since hanabata (Termite Palace) dayz.

10-0 NE over ID in the 2d Qtr.

Ok! Halftime adjustment time.

Go Warriors!

wafan, RE my *sniff sniff cough cough* THANKS! 🙂

So far so good…

… hope the heat and humidity isn’t taking a toll on the Warriors.

wafan, RE online announcers’ comments, sometimes just one from just one of ’em is enuff 👿

Army starting to penetrate our Oline… causing Warriors to draw some penalites… gotta make some adjustments… so far so good.. gotta keep playing to win.

And speaking of officers… why didn’t I ever have any of those fine cheerleaders as a Commander during my time in?

Good morning everyone. What’s the score?

Hey UHfan808!

I wish I was coming home! If I could take the time off, I’d come home for the Nevada game. Hawaiian Air had an air/hotel combo, but it was for 3 nights…

I’ll just have to settle for going to fresneck country to watch us beat the puppies!

wafan’s #206…bwahahahahaha! *cough cough cough* heeheehee!

Morning all..!!! I missed the first touchdown waiting for my computer to warm up.

Where do you find vacuum tubes nowadays?

UH is,(-8 yds.) rushing in the 1st half.

Rolo talked about QB1’s tendency to want to go for the kill shot on every play; he wants him to take the check downs more readily…

Hiya Ronnie!

A bunch of us are enjoing breakfast & the game at Genji’s. What a spread! Typical local grinds. Very comfy, kinda like in your living room. Screens all ova!

Go Warriors!

waiting to see the warrior “pressure defense”. so far, all I see is 3 dl and nothing from the lb.

wow the announcers just gave compliments to the o- and d-line

Let’s go, defense! Where’ s da fire???

Ok, I have to head out to watch my friend’s son’s football game. 🙁

Kekoa, can you text me updates?

Prayer for Spencer Smith.

aiee Spencer Smith is down.

The Warriors are down- letdown.

hope spener is ok.

Uh oh. DB Spencer Smith still down. Talking about injured right arm…possibly a break. Replay looks gruesome.

Come D! Get fired up!!!

Now we’re in a fight. Should’ve kept the gas on!

As my friend from Tennessee says,

We got ourselves a dog fight!

GO WARRIORS!

I don’t care that it’s 9/11… or our opponent is Army… or their coach calls UH his alma mater… we gotta get back to how we opened the game… aggressive and on fire!!!

CR4P!!!

C’mon Hawaii! D up!

Good Morning Hawaii!

OLDIE – is 1247 and 1255 the same picture-wise? Looks the same to be as if CBS is doing both with the same equipment.

At least that’s good news about Spencer: sprained elbow, not a break.

Boy-o-boy….the offense had better score much more points!!

99club,

Coach Ellerson commented on the guy. Something like: He started as a Zoomie but saw the error of his ways. 😆 (sorry)

#256.. UHfan808… I cannot wait!!!

Good stop! Bet they go for it.

Great assignment ball by Aaron Brown!!!

Big stop by Aaron Brown.

12 men on da field 🙁

STILL…KEEP UM BACK NO MATTA WHAT!!!

Dumb mistakes.

Let’s go Warriors!

oh geez…deep fan-watching brreatth *pant pant*

Hang in there UHfan808!

so far tormey’s special team, 1 cough up, 12 man on field. ok coach, what else????

Dang.

👿

Now we got a game!

So, we start great, then get stupid stuff like penalties and special teams breakdowns…

Composure….starts with the coaching staff.

that’s something new in football, the warrior’s “SPECIAL TEAM” is giving out points to keep the game interesting. Way to go coach!!!!!

What’s with the penalties?

Looks like a counter-strike by Army.

Go Warriors!

SAME OLD HAWAII……… AND I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO GOOD TO GET/HAVE DA INSIDE SCOOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He was wrapped up and should’ve been blown dead. We’re playing stupid now.

Aigoo!

dam dam dam dam dam dam

Now we gotta answer. Gotta get our heads back in the game.

#291 whitey – Hi! ooh la la, what premiums will they get?

geez, my hands are sweating and soon i’ll have to resuscitate my mouse from drowning. 👿

OK, if we don’t hold, we should get the ball at mid field.

you are soooo right whitey!

That’s what I’m talking about… keep pounding that ball.

Add 15! Yeehaw!

BHF2, Happy, now belated, Birthday! Did you see our FB wishes? 🙂

He’s like a missile! (Polaris, get it?) 🙂

TD us!!! whoooohooo!!!

Wooot!

guess rolo got the message. you ain’t tonna be in the game just pissing in the wind.

Phew… tied game… Warriors made that look easy too.. and they needed to respond quick to quiet the crowd.

#319 99club – yeh, that IS :cool:, turn the negative into a positive hehehehehe

we need a stop!

then on the other hand, i think they already know how to do the wide stance defense.

😎

The TV announcer’s on CBS are OK, but they mangle names you’d think be easy to get. Pilares is ‘Polaris,’ and Chizzy Dimude was Chee-zay Dee-moo-day.’

uhfan, long time no see, good to see you giv em with your pingers!!! hoooooo haa

Yesss…get the ball back.

I am not gonna be happy until we KEEEEL Army!

everybody gotta do their jobs.

especially the coaches!

Time for another TD.

Go Warriors!

uihfan

keep the positive vibes coming!

howzit wafan

Nice extra effort Salas! 1st down.

Get it back, get it back, get it back!

MO-jo!

that, folks, was a 3rd Q TD

Precise- surgical- we know how to do this…

Wow announcers just said that’s Hawaii’s 10th penalty. 🙁

bhf2 . . .

Hi! Was good to see you at the T-Gate!

Whoo-hoo!

precise, surgical

criminee, jee whillekers! 😆

#337 whitey; #345 BHF2 – ooh, then sending the Warrior positive vibes thru the keyboard!!!

CAN Feel uM????

Go Bradley!!!

defense…defense… DEFENSE!

there is our defense again

Ai-goo mal-ee-ya!

the mind it always comes down to the mind

BRB, gotta go best buy to get a new mouse j/k but geez, almost pretty soon la dat

Lets go Warriors!

I mean… our pass was effective against USC… I’m thinking because our rushing was decent. We need to run against Army until they show they can stop us.

army used a 9 man line and qb cannot deliver a homerun. the r and s thrives on 9 men line.

incomplete!

Big series for Hawaii’s D…

Hank, you’re soo right!

and talk about home team reffing!

our coaches on defense need a coaching clinic!

we outweigh Army line man for man

DANG – no do that again, pls!

time out, us

coach aranda, where’s the pressure defense????? all i see is a sit and react defense.

WARRIORS = DA GREEN AND WHITE GUYS

9/11…………… ARMY……………. PEEPS W/CONTROL…………… EQUALS???…………… HAWAII TRAVELING FROM THE ISLANDS COST PLENTY $$$……………DO THE MATH…………………. PAST 20 YRS ALWAYS BEEN THE SAME FORMULA!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOGOGOGOGO!!!

Good vibes- WARRIORS!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WARRRRRRRRIOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSS!!!!

Let’s GO WARRIORS!!!

all right.. partially blocked fg!! momentum changer.. take it to the house HAWAII!

Yesss! Way to go special teams! Now it’s OUR turn to run the clock and score.

Have a feeling this could go into OT.

…BLOCK JOHN HARDY-TULIAU!!!!

@WARRIORS: NO FO’GET, THINK: HOLD ON TO THAT BALL WITH YOUR LIFE!!!

PATIENCE PATIENCE AND CONSISTENCY!!!

AAAARRRRRGH!

John Hardy-Tuliau doing what he does best…block that kick!

GO WARRIORS!!!

I went through the shirts that I have for softball fund-raising and I have more than I thought. I have a dozen Medium, blue reverse-print Aloha shirts with “Western Athletic Conference” embroidered on the sleeve. If you would like one, we are asking for a suggested minimum donation of $10. If you would like a tax-deductible donation, per the UH-Foundation, please donate more than $10 which is the value of the shirt. Mahalos!

c’mon coaches!

COACH!

LEAD!

annodah commercial break

A 30-yard punt?

Are they still trying to have him kick directionally?

Focus D!

#417 Slugger – oh oops, forgot to tell you that i’ll give you soon via email, my friend’s (lol) addy. gotta get um from him first. thanks!

ASSIGNMENT!

not good… unable to capitalize on a blocked punt situation.. C’mon Warriors!!

It’s a team effort and the team will do what it needs to do the way it needs to do on it’s own time

hold that line, watch those passes (you know the rest)

Again… defense not wrapping up… those extra yards are for nothing.

good

It is time Hawaii starts scrimaging in the fall, hell with the injury worries, cause Hawaii cannot tackle for a lick. Shoulder tackling will not cut it.

hands dripping

3 minutes left…tied game…Army has ball…

can we hold them???

looks like this is Coach Macs last year here! start looking for a new coach!

*their

right now is the time to send positive vibes

go somewhere else if you can’t

TACKLE!!!! WRAP UP!!!! WTF????

DEFENSE!!!

No more timeouts for Army…biggest play of the game for Hawaii!

coach mc, play players who want to play, not just go thru the motion. Look what happens when you release JT, talk about speed and damage. Maybe, he should be the lb who can speed the qb. speaking of qb, this is the 2nd team qb for army and he can do no wrong???? attack em and see how he handles pressure, but then again, sad to say, we got no pressure.

DEEEEEEEEEEEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!

JD now has alot of problems, not only does he have to find a new conference, he has to find a new head coach.

That’s the ONLY choice you have! Go D!!!

timeout

Wow, down to last seconds. No more time outs. Think tough, keep playing tough.

dang… here’s that 3-point spread that the oddsmakers gave Army coming up…

C’mon warriors.. defense!!

Go Warriors!

Review!!

fumble it fumble it f u m b l e -it. Oooh, review.

Oh man, I hope Army misses!

Please please please

Fumble!!!!

oops i meant down!?!

FUMMMMMMMMBLE!

everyone in the NO:-) is IN on it

geez for the wait

YESSSSSSSS!

whoooohoo!! We got um back!!!

2 obvious 2 NOT overturn

Bradley on a fly, c’mon!

If it was USC, that ball would be a no fumble.

Okay think, PUSH FORWARD *strong*, now!

Moniz; Pollard. Late hit; late call.

Let’s GO, O-line!!!

Hurry and kick it!!!

whoooooooooHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, what a game!

Let’s go, Enos!!!

Hawaii wins!!!

“Field goal is good”

WOOOHOOOOO!

let’s go Warriors!! FG!… gotta kick deep.. and hold em for one down!

OMG, now my hands are flowing!!! yikes!

or just make sure they don’t run it all the way back…

Special teams gotta make the stop!

Okay.. no freak stupid plays or penalties….

LET’s be AGGRESSIVE!!!

From Hawaii’s 28 yard line, UH goes all the way to Army’s 15 yard line.

Hawaii kicks field go.

Go Warriors 31-28!

YIPEEE!!! WE 31: them 28!!!

We could have easily have lost that one. Whew!!!

I wanna see the Warriors go over and thank their fans who traveled all that way

Soooooo *PROUD* of you, Warriors!!! YA WENT!!!

yay, my sar kazz um worked:-)

Okay, we got a win, but… we still got some serious issues to address… mainly… no killer instinct!!!

YO, BETDAHOUSE!

Which beach you sleeping on tonight, LOSER!

NEVER bet against the WARRIORS!

Spotted Shane Austin’s mom in the stands.

Auryte WARRIORS

#541 red: you’re not seriously praising your sarcasm, eh? geez, pleeze, fleas

st, ok, now you can relax, write a great story and get ready for your trip west. hoooo wheeee

….we have got to get that substitution problem solved…it cost us a touchdown today…

…the Warriors showed a lot of grit, pride, and courage today…i love this win…

OMG, my heart is still…POUNDING!!! PHEW, what a win!!!

Hawai’i was out-played from the 2nd quarter on, BUT I’LL TAKE THE WIN!! Yeehaw!!

#555… Hank… yup… instead of a field goal, we MADE Army go for and score a touchdown.

Ok I’m craving some Buffalo steaks… Bring them ON!!!!!!!!!

bhf2, mana was the hero and now his cousin, Kaniela, going remind me of that. Kaniela is from waikea uka near golf course and works on maui. his 2 brothers, maxwell and wadsworth, used to swim for our team. father, paka, is retired from hawaiian air.

I can’t remember any holding calls against Army…lots of generous spots for them…or was the ‘yellow line’ off kilter. Oh well, a win’s a win.

#565 Thrasher: me happy too BUT uh ok, rememba da bachi, pleez?! 🙂

I was on track, until we decided to stop scoring!

#543 Michigan Warrior: Partly true because we seemed to revel in something half way thru there. Yet, without at least *some* killer instinct, we couldn’t have pulled it off, no?

I say, if we’re ahead by 35+… then we can think of the next quarter. If not, keep pouring it on!!!

OK gang, you all did an excellent job and deserve a standing ovation and well rounded applause!!! I hope you can see me standing and hear me clapping for all of you. Well done!!!!!!

MIH… True, your #576! let’s just hope we don’t have to rely on those kinds of moments! Pour it on early and often, and don’t look back!!!

Moniz is THE QB no discussion.

Special team still a major disappointment.

D, I agree. Interior doing its job. LBs bite too much too quick leaving door to the outside too wide open too often.

O line average today.

Don’t see how we can stay with or beat the better teams on the schedule. Too many mistakes, foundation for the three phases (O,D,SP team) not solid. O looks good, but other two still iffy.

Our Defense got worn down .. big time.

I hope Spencer Smith recovers quickly.

We are going to need depth next week in Colorado.

Wonder if there will be any aholes stumping or burning our flag today. My personal feeling is that you can keel em and i no have remorse.

All I have to say is that defense, offense, and PAT came through when needed. Good win. Now let’s go to Boulder, CO and win that game, too. GO WARRIORS!

buffoman, not going comment today on your choice for qb because it is time to enjoy the win and let things get put into perspective.

ST…give us your post game comments…please. Thanx.

#583… buffoman… we got burned too often on those runs that bounced to the outside. No one there to meet the ball carrier until he was 5 yards down field. Gotta tighten that up!

Hank,

I think it was Umu who caused the fumble.

Glad that the tv crew showed our fans a couple of times during the game. Feels good to see supporters at away games!!! Go, Warriors!!!

UH two fumbles gave Army “short yardage” to score easily

two touchdowns. Otherwise, no worry beef curry…

Shocking to see Salas without a TD after 2 games. I know he will get many as the season progresses.

#583 bm: How do you say that in reverse, meaning, tell them what they need to *do* as opposed to *how/what* they didn’t do — e.g., “Hold on to the ball!” makes them think of holding on to it versus “stop* dropping* the ball!” can make them think only of wanting to drop the ball.

Kinda like telling someone to stop thinking about the red elephant.

http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1438274675327

From Kenny Meatoga

d1,

Right, Umu forced the fumble and Silva recovered. Great take-away.

Still things to work on in LV.

GO WARRIORS!!!

can somebody please give me a website that I can use to watch the games online. Unfortunately I am away from home but would love to see the Warriors win week after week. Thanks.

I usually go to channelsurfing (dot) com. But it didn’t work well for me today. so I ended up using atdhe (dot) net.

moniz is the man.

Hawaii came our firing on all cylinders but I think the early game time and travel hours took their toll on the defense… UH had 32 offensive plays in the 1st half and only 16 in the second.

We said a few times before the season how critical these first three games were going to be. We lost the first, got the win today. Let’s get to 2-1!

GO WARRIORS!!!

special teams had their moments good and bad.

good was hardy-tuilau proving that he is no fluke blocking kicks. he also came very close to one or two more blocks.

dunnachie had some boomers. i just wish that the coaches just let him rip the ball down the field.

kick return needs work. credit the army coaches for recognizing the no hands team on that pooch recovery.

Next week sleep deprivation and jet lag will not be an issue…. high altitude might be, though.

Might have to depend on 50yd FGs. 🙂

special teams…sorry forgot about enos’ game winner.

Congrats to the team!

A win is a win in the stats.

Any win on the road is a great win!

bottom line is that we won at a tough place to get too emotional at, us army academy. on such a memorable date in time (9/11).

hats off to our boys and coaches for playing like gentlemen and with much respect shown to our “opponent”. i am sure it was hard to want to pound your opponent to the ground when they are the very ones who will watching our nation’s back in a couple of years.

(not to mention that it was nearly 5000 miles away from home.)

next week another tough game, but tough games make a team tougher.

we’ll come out 3-0 after saturday. (against the spread)

what impressed was that the offense was clicking again and we are at midseason form after two games.

mih…true. i hope they get to go to carnegie deli on their way out.

on another note….wie, wie, wie all the way home.

after 11 holes michelle is the leader at -8. she carded a 28 on her first 9 holes (back 9).

al –

I believe that heat and humidity helped Army’s cause today. Did you see in the last quarter in particular, how the UH’s D-linemen’s jerseys were soaked through with sweat? Must have been hot out there, staying on the field so long.

Are you looking at the Colorado – Cal game? UH can get that win next week, I think.

Hard to type with greasy fingers.

Most pushups I saw on tv wouldn’t even be counted on their PT Tests!!!

I’m so spoiled…. I just gotta remind myself…

any time

you “upset” the favored HOME team,

it’s a good win!

#647… MIH… fo’ real, yeah?

wiesy…-10 after 13. leads by three strokes.

must remember that this is a 54 hole tournament. tomw is final round.

I think the game will be replayed tomorrow on oc16 @ 11:00 am.

DPK-

The weather was in the mid 70’s today, the announcers talked about what a beautiful day it was…I think their big problem was jet lag.

Remember when we couldn’t win on the road? Distant memory now!

Sorry to make us all feel old, but I’m actually watching Joe Montana’s kid playing QB for Notre Dame right now. Unreal.

Just got back from West Point and would like to offer a few comments and observations from while I was at Michie Stadium. Some of it is probably game items that have already been discussed ad nauseum in this blog (I haven’t sifted through all 600+ comments), but there were some things that weren’t televised that I think is nice to touch on:

1.) It was great to see the A-House family again! Got a chance to talk with A-House at halftime a little more in depth. We were about five rows apart in the same section. Hope to get to see them (and others) next week in Colorado.

2.) The Army band played Co-Ed (the UH fight song) during the pre-game intro. Classy on their part, and greatly appreciated.

3.) Pre-game ha’a was performed in front of (and facing) the Cadet section. Army was practicing on the south side of the field where the UH fans were all clustered together.

4.) I was pleasantly surprised at the number of fans we brought to this road game. I’d eyeball it at around 1,500 to 2,000. Maybe ST can correct me on this. In essence, we had one sideline section full of UH fans as well as 2/3 of the south end zone. Panda had 5 buses full of fans who had come up from NYC earlier in the morning; combine that with the fans staying at my hotel and our presence was strong given the travel distance.

5.) I was surprised to see that Army tried to pass early. The box score may only show 6 pass attempts combined between the 2 Army QBs, put fairly sure that a few more of them were wiped off the box score due to penalties and such.

6.) Noticed that when UH went to a 3-man front after halftime, they couldn’t get enough penetration and started giving up yardage in big chunks. They were able to better contain Army defensively when they had 4 on the line.

7.) Penalties/turnovers were about to cost us the game, stalling drives and changing momentum in the game. We gave up 1 TD because of a turnover and another TD on an offsides penalty on 4th & Goal from the 3. On the offsides, Army was kicking the FG…with the penalty called, it put them 4th & Goal from the 1 and they proceeded to punch it in.

8.) Army was 4/4 on 4th down conversions. Argh!

Anywho, a win is a win. I can’t remember the last time (if ever) UH has won a game in the Eastern time zone. Hopefully the lessons learned here can be used in the future as the season progresses.

a welcomed sight was on first and goal from the four, we sent green in for the score.

Oh, I’m staying in the Hudson Valley overnight, and driving back to DC in the morning.

The Army fans and the cadets and personnel at USMA were great.

The other locals around here (away from the hotel, not affiliated with the game, et al.) seem rude and pushy, to say the least. No wonder why I haven’t ventured this far up the Northeast Corridor, despite the fact that it’s a 3 1/2 train ride away.

While we won, I’m glad to be leaving in the morning.

A lot of excuses being made by al and others for a not so great performance. Heat and humidity lol? C’mon, it was 70 degrees. Next week is they play below expectations we’ll be hearing about how it was the elevation or the length of time from home. Why can’t we just say that they didn’t play so well without making up all kinds of excuses.

Sorry.. didn’t finish the thought… right-handed QB scrambles with 11 seconds left, then left hands the ball directly to a Cal player, who then takes it in for a TD!

99 club –

I think you’re right. As al pointed out, the guys had to get up at about 2 or 3 in the morning Hawaii time to play today.

manti t’eo got taken out on robinson’s long td run for michigan. lineman engaged him and pushed him back 10 yds and pancaked him.

whoa…whoa. i made comments based upon my opinions and observations. but, never did i offer an excuse. besides we won and we were the underdogs at that.

i am one to never make excuses for me or anyone else.

it was someone else who cited the time differential although i did mention the amount miles we traveled.

ooops. wie bogeys and is now -9 at the 15th but still the current leader of the pack.

Now it’s Miami v. Ohio State… blegh… don’t care for either team…

oh yeah.. I mentioned the time zones… travel and time of play as possible contributing factors to some of the mental errors. But it was an “upset” and the players made the plays when they had their back against the wall.

#657… CRW… the Commander of the West Point Band is an old Army friend of mine. We were stationed together at Camp Zama in Japan, back in 91-92. We remain in communication over these years. I asked him earlier this week to please post a couple of pictures of today’s game. He just put up a couple of pictures, and I told him we wish them the best this year. Great guy, and a class act. Just wish I could’ve made it to the game for a mini-reunion!

#678,

should be Channel 247 CBSCS.

Was there discussion about N. Dakota and S. Dakota quite possibly joining the WAC?

The announcer just said Colorado is an outstanding academic institution. Didn’t they just get slammed by the NCAA a couple of months ago for poor grades, and lost some scholarships; while UH did far better on their APR’s?

Colorado’s QB likes to tuck it and run…

Postgame quotes… Army and Hawaii

To bad about Spencer’s arm..hopefully it wont require surgery

Watched the game with Pride which is always very educational……..

@ michigan warrior, slugger, et al – thanks for all the suggestions. stayed home and watched online. actually, hubby went online through his ps3 and we watched on tv. not bad. i made kim chee fried rice n portugese sausage and we won, so it was a great early morning! wrote down all the suggestions for next week. aloha all

Glad to have UHfan808 back.

@ Hamura’s celebrating!

Whooooohooooo

I hope that Spencer’s broken forearm heals quickly. He is one of the strengths of the defense.

I didn’t wake up until 6 am HItime and then had to get a exceedingly time-sensitive e-mail out to several hundred people plus work on the first draft of the next edition of the Windward Ahupua`a Alliance’s e-newsletter which will go out tomorrow morning. DrDoc was tracking the game closely and updated me from time to time, but work took precedence over football.

Congratulations to both the Warriors as well as the Wahine. The latter faces St. Mary’s tonight – always tough, no matter what the sport.

A win is a win is a win.

BTW – if you haven’t done so already, look at Rich Figel’s blog two above this one. He and his wife were UH season ticketholders in several different sports for over 20 years but dropped them starting with the 2008-2009 season – if I recall correctly. In addition to being politically akamai with strong creative communications skills, he really cares about UH student athletes. We need to bring him back into the fold – especially for softball.

Back to work – still a lot of “bad stuff” to clean up. BTW – just to let you know….for three-plus weeks, our new plantanativetree website was considered spam by our now former ISP. Once I finish dealing with all the legal ramifications, I’ll post the details on either the WAA or the the PLANT website, but right now, I can barely keep control.

Wildcats take one on the chin to open the season. 🙁

42-47 loss to CalLu.

…off to the stadium.

Go Saints!

Great time at Murphy’s this morin, hard game to watch. Don’t know what happened after the first quarter seem to be a different team. Army could have easily won this game all they had to do was run on the outside, just like usc we had no outside coverage, major problem not having any cover corners, inside game was good. The only thing I liked about this game is that they didn’t give up, sorry I like blow aways this is too hard on the nerve’s. We should have won this game 45 – 0, Army wasn’t that good we just let them gain the yards.

Close one! I was watching the game at my house this morning. I lost a lot of hair today. The hair that I didn’t lose is now gray. I lost my voice, screaming as if the team could hear me. A win is a win, I guess. On to Colorado!!!

My final word regarding today’s game…

It made getting up at 6am well worth it!

Early edition of the quotes is up. I won’t be able to get the rest of the quotes until the newspapers come out tomorrow, but it is nice when UH plays an early game because there is lots to read after the game. I did notice that Army’s site put up all the quotes from Army and UH while UH’s site just had UH’s quotes, which is why I always good to check both schools for quotes.

http://uhwarriorquotes.blogspot.com/2010/09/quotes-from-uh-army-game-91110-early.html

#720,

This sounds like the BHF2 of yore.

Montana State is leading against Washington State at the half, 13-7.

Are the Cougars THAT bad?

One thing that scares me with today’s game is, we were outscored in the 3rd quarter again. Poor adjustments at halftime? I glad we won, but I don’t have a good feeling about how the game went about. I thought my 48-6 prediction had a chance after a 21-0 lead. The 2, 12 men on the field penalties, what’s up with dat? Starting to remind me of last year. I know I shouldn’t be negative, as we did pull out a win, but all coaches see the negatives and try to correct/improve on them. I hope we have enough time to work on our mistakes before our next game against Colorado. There will be a lot of traveling before Colorado. I hope it won’t be a distraction.

Wish we had Manti. The bugga looks huge. UH needs help at linebacker. I like how the DTs played even when they were gassed. To be on the field that long is asking too much.

Hats of to Ellerson. He found the way to beat UH. He changed things up and got to our quarterback. He may not have the best talent but he knows how to use his personnel. I remember when he was the DC at UH he did it back then too.

Too bad for Army their starting qb went down even though their 2nd qb came in and did well. If 1st string qb did not go out with an injury I think they would have scored really putting UH in a bind.

Overall a good lesson for our Warriors. You can not let the other team a chance to get back into a game. I thought that the momentum switch started with the Ryan Henry punt return. Things kind of were strange and went downhill after that.

Warriors thank road fans with Haka after beating Army!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_F-9eGSTjY

CRW – wow that was close! Congrats!

Committed Road Warrior…now if only Hawaii had a lottery,

you might have the numbers! Congratulations to you and

to the players, coaches and staff.

finally…good game down to the wire. while many thought the warriors were going to stomp, the oddsmakers almost had it right when they made army early favorites.

i told the boss before the game i would bet the home team. she said, “really ?”. she said “how much?”

i said, “bet the house”.

she said, “no way!”

too bad i listen.

God bless Bryan, Slugger.

thank you thank you thank you

The coaches are listening. paying attention. keeping us involved.

Good job coaches. for the haka. for us.

and no porget, never never never never quit.

no sir!

Just watched Texas score on a short run up the middle to get to 34 pts. with less than a minute left. Running up the score? Maybe. Need to impress the voters as a lot of them don’t watch the game and vote only by the games they see and the scores reported. 34-7 Texas up vs Wyoming with 48 seconds left.

TChahng

Just had enuff time to roll out of bed this morning, brush teeth, and rush to meet Kekoa…completely brain dead to remember to set the DVD! Bet plenny Tsaikos did, tho. Jus gotta ask. I was proud of the way both teams played.

Slugger- love and hugs and prayers for God’s Blessings for Bryan.

WOW!

Stanfords SWEEPS No. 1 Penn St in volleball and snaps their 109-match winning streak.

GO WAHINE!

Prayers has been sent for brother Bryan.

…..also healing prayer for Spencer Smith and any other injured Warriors.

Cry baby Dooley is getting his butt beat by the ducks

#738… Actually, Marines are on the same team with Navy. They (Navy and Marine Officers) have always been schooled together, from what I’ve learned, when I was stationed at Little Creek Naval Amphibious Base out at Norfolk in Virginia.

Man, UH needs better athletes on defense. Especially at LB. Army consistently beat the UH D when running to the outside. Paredes has a lot of heart but the boy is slow.

Makes you miss Adam Leonard and Solomon.

Perhaps some redshirts should be burned to add more talent. Bubba Luna? Darryl Mcbride?

Bravo to the Warriors for standing and paying tribute to the Knights as the alma mater was played; and to the Knights as they watched the haka at in front of the Warrior fans.

Awesome show of respect!!!

Bravissimo!!!

UHfan808,

Good job staying positive when the Warriors were going through a rough patch. It’s amazing to me when the going gets rough, some of us so called fans lash out at the coaches, team, etc. After our victory, did you notice that they didn’t celebrate or comment much? Hmmmm.

The true test of a man is best measured when things are not going well. Today, I believe our Warriors passed that test. Yes UHfan808, the glass is indeed half full.

#600…Whitey..wasn’t me…so i don’t deserve the mahalo…could’ve been LizK…

I know this was a long road trip, but would be good if we could continue scheduling them, even if it’s in a neutral location on the mainland.

I would like to see us schedule each of academies every year. Not only a good away game but a good home game.

Hi gigi,

Yes, Colorado only scored 7 against Cal today; they really got blown out. As the saying goes, they’re not as bad as the score indicates. Unfortunately for us, I anticipate they’ll rebound next week. Hopefully, we’ll be on our game and pull out the W anyway. Hence, I predict a close game. One thing that has surprised me though is that our defense is having so much difficulty.

Pomai,

34 – 24 UH

Beautiful, ST! Good to see the 2 teams show each other respect after the game. As you said, I hope it becomes a tradition.

Whitey, PP, al & Garett etal

The kid and his cousin are tied for second in the mixed ball tournament , shooting a 66 in fourball play. Tied with Cassy and her partner. Chasing a couple of strokes tomorrow. Should be interesting as it’s alternate shot. Anything can happen.

Slugger,

Prayers for peace and comfort for Bryan.

howzit Duffer!

Missed you this morning!

Mahalo for the updates on the kid and Cassy. So proud of them!

Eh Pride –

What was that list you had of things to expect in game?

great post! i’m bookmarking this!

Just woke up from a 4:00 pm nap. I’m hungry.

Haven’t eaten since this morning’s buffet breakfast. Guess I at a lot. 🙄

Was a great game because we won and I shared it with great people.

Rasu Begasu’s in town…

Wow very cool, duffer – keep us posted. Kyeton and Cassy are amazing. So glad ESPN 1420 is online…listening to the WVB now, but getting sleepy…about to turn into a pumpkin here on the West Coast.

Go Wahine!

Way to go Wahine.

I was really disappointed in seeing some of the comments made throughout the game by Steve and Whitey. I read these comments late tonight and felt the need to respond. When UH is winning…they jump on the bandwagon but as soon as they start to give up points…they jump off and talk a lot of @*#$ about the coach and team. WE DON’T NEED FANS LIKE YOU TWO…YOU’RE A BUNCH OF “DONKEYS” IN MY OPINION!!!

4 – Expect to win it late in the fouth quarter.

Yes, there are things posted in the heat of the game that may not be agreeable with everyone. UHFan808 made a valiant attempt to keep things on an even keel. Kudos to her. Neither you or Steve have posted long. In time, I hope you’ll observe that expressing opinions are okay, but it’s not okay to call folks names…and ST applies that universally. I’m not the owner of this blog, but I’ve been around long enough to have a vested interest in helping maintain civility while tolerating everyone’s opinion. Your post was ok until the last sentence. You made a good point…I hope you let it out and can let it go. Mahalo

BTW, I could’ve sworn I saw M/M A-house on the terebi today towards the end of the game.

Night all!

35-24

It’s too bad that the Wahine do not have the high level of competition that they saw tonight from St. Mary’s throughout the entire season. That’s one of the reasons they took so long and worked so hard to scrape through the door into the winners’ circile.

The agenda for the next Board of Regents meeting is out. http://www.hawaii.edu/offices/bor/regular/notice/20100916.regular.pdf

Check out Item VI #9. Also, I wonder what the implications will be for student athletes if #10 & #11 are approved?

Still haven’t gotten a response to my July 11 request for lists of external public, private & foundation grants awarded to UH-Manoa faculty & researchers in all fields for the past three fiscal years: 2007-2008; 2008 – 2009; 2009-2010.

The other data I’m trying to get are income statements over the same period which would specifically identify the Athletic Department’s losses.

Another extremely busy day tomorrow. Lots of political stuff. BTW – don’t forget to vote – either absentee, walk-in, or the old-fashioned way on Election Day next Saturday. If you are still unclear as to who would be the best Governor & Lt. Governor team for the University of Hawai`i and the future of the state itself, I can only suggest that you do some reading and contemplating your navel.

Capitol-ist/WassupDoc-

#9 and 10 would be big. Hope they grandfather students already in the program. That’s a popular major for many student athletes around the country.

Article in a Boulder paper today after CU’s loss to Cal:

http://www.dailycamera.com/sports-columnists/ci_16054760

Nothing about the upcoming game against Hawaii, mostly about Dan Hawkins.

Congrats to the Warrior Boys on the win today. No mean to start anything by saying this but um…Bryant Moniz is the best quarterback on the team! Some of you on that Austin bandwagon cause bruddah threw two TD passes against USC, well nothing against Austin but c’mon now Moniz is the man! Anyway, I only caught some of the game and still don’t get why our defense at times still looking confused and out of place. I think Coach Aranda needs to keep it simple and instill a killer instinct in our boys. They need to get some desire and learn how to hit with some passion and bring the ball carrier down! Irritates the crap out of me when the boys don’t wrap up and tackle through the ball carrier. Just making contact ain’t gonna do jack crap, they need to frikkin try to hit so hard everyone in the dayum stadium feels it! What happened to being the hardest hitting team on the left coast???

One last thing… Alex Green is a beast and needs to see the ball in his hands at least 10 – 15 times a game. If we were runnin the triple option UH O instead of the Run & Shoot O, I bet Alex Green would be averaging over a hundred yards a game garrans. Hope Coach Rolo begins to get Alex more involved to slow the dlines down, and keep the defenses honest.

What helped the with the win yestarday was the fact that we didn’t have a negative turnover ratio. Of course we fumbled the ball away twice, which is why the game was close. But with Army’s two fumbles, that evened up the ratio to keep us in the ballgame.

okay. good night.

i think our young team is begining to grow up.

two first time starters were the leading tacklers, paredes and gdl.

pollard knows he can hang with anybody now.

the oline and dline are beginning to believe.

i could go on. but its late.

good mornin Tsaikos everywhere.

what a great nite’s sleep.

thanks chawan_cut

Yesterday was just about as perfect a football day as I’ve ever had. I could say it was four points shy of perfect, but that would actually be trivializing the experience (and being blindly results-oriented is not a good way to go through life). Seeing the buses full of UH fans gave me a great sense of pride in sharing my alma mater with strangers that felt like family. Got to set a new personal record for tailgating; three hours pre-game and five hours after. Got to watch my two teams play a spirited and exciting game. Was surprised, humbled, and a bit overwhelmed by the warmth and generosity of the A-House Clan (“Mahalo plenty” is a meager response). Got all chicken-skin with the class acts by both teams after the final whistle.

Pomai,

Always a PLEASURE kind sir as NO BODY on this

blog can match your PIDGEN excitement for the

Warriors as you are “THE VERY BEST’ !

What was impressive about Pollard’s last catch was that it was looking in to sun. The same angle that caused the kickoff fumble. If that kick placement wasn’t designed to take advantage of the angle, it should be.

Congrats

30 – 27 Committed Road Warrior

Looking over the game stats this morning and wondering why there were excluding Moniz’ scats…just a mere,(7) running plays between Green/Dimude????…..that sure put the pressure on the passing game plan; Army just had to rush the passer and sit back defending the recievers.

21-1st quarter points and just 10-points over the last three(3) quarters???? huh???, that ain’t but like 3-points per quarter for an offense which should score a lot more than that, right?

Right-on Enos for that 31yd. fg….congrats for staying focused and nailing it.

Colorado got man-handled and looking like another win for UH if they get the running game going to balance their offense…..otherwise, just too predictable, and they will struggle or lose it in Colorado.

Pomai

UH 31 – Colorado 28

Great Morning All!

A win is a win is a win….

Pomai,

CBS-C is replaying it starting at 9 am (247/1247. Oceanic) It’s not an ESPN game so that’s the only option, I guess.

Hawaii at Army** 6 p.m. CSTV* NA/247

Good find sj.

missed that….

#847… mctruck… We could all feel it during the game. We put aside the run too early. We felt like we could tear up Army’s defense just with the “shoot”. Problem with leaving out the “run” is that we allowed their defense to zero in on just rushing our QB. We can’t be so one-dimensional and expect to win every game, especially against decent+ opponents. Our rush average is usually pretty good, until we stop rushing. Then our stats take a nose dive, coupled with the huge chunks we give up on sacks. We just have to mix it up more to keep the pressure off. Green and Dimude have shown that they can carry a nice average if given the chance. And, our O-Line should be ginve an opportunity to just blast through the defensive line once in a while. Let our line pound, instead of just standing straight up and being bull rushed!

In one year, didn’t McBriar only punt like 9 times? We can keep our offense on the field too if we mix it up and play some solid “D”.

Plus, playing at altitude next week, we really need to have a more balanced time of possession to keep our defense fresh. Three and out won’t do it.

Re: keeping the D fresh.

Straight up Mich. Warrior. That altitude is going to affect every player. Colo. knows how to keep the offense on the field with their running backs. Advantage Colo. on this key point. They can tire out our team very quickly

The offense averaged over 9 yards per pass attempt in each of the first two games. That looks OK.

d1… imagine how it might look if we kept opposing defenses honest and stopped the dropsies?

Speaking of which…

Attention Special Teams… Especially Kick Off Team…

Ask for your chance as the JUGS machine so you can handle the unexpected ball that comes to you too!!! That is all.

dear Lord….

I am soo thankful our Warriors made our coaches look good yesterday.

Colo. knows how to keep the offense on the field with their running backs.

MW,

Hawaii keeps defenses honest by by throwing to the RB (shovel is a pass, btw)

#872… That’s why we got burned on the outside so often in both games. That’s where we’ve been giving up big plays and first downs. We string it out and let them turn the corner. And even if we’re waiting at the corner, we don’t make the stop. We can’t be sloppy and expect to continue to win. We gotta swarm to the ball and wrap up. We get them into third and long situations, and keep giving up first downs. That has to stop.

We tried two shovels that I recall yesterday… only one worked. Running plays are still needed to keep those linebackers home.

shovels are used to keep the other DC distracted during the week…

…same with QB running option
