Bradley lost for season
MOSCOW, IDAHO — Worse came to worst.
Wideout Rodney Bradley is undergoing surgery for a broken left leg, and he will miss the remainder of the season. He is expected to return to Honolulu Tuesday.
Bradley suffered the injury when he appeared to be leg-whipped by Idaho safety Shiloh Keo. After the game, Keo apologized for what he said was an inadvertent play. He also said: “He’s in my prayers.”
* * * * *
Greg McMackin said he takes full responsibility for the loss. But he said he is not to blame for the timeout taken in the final minute of the first half. The Warriors had just made a first down. He said the referee looked at him, and when McMackin nodded, he assumed it meant to call a timeout. McMackin said he did not call a timeout, but the officials would not reverse it.
* * * * *
Too many busted plays on defense.
* * * * *
* * * * *
Linebacker Josh Rice dyed his hair because he said he was tired of being called “Goldilocks.”

This is a serious tailgating ride. The TV (connected to a satellite dish) is situated in the luggage compartment:
first?
gooooooo booooowwwws!!!!!!!!!!!
Good morning, again, to all!
Go Warriors!
Go Wildcats (x2)
Whoo-hoo!!!
Whoo-hoo!!!
3
4 hours! Go Warriors!
I think its going to be a much better game than the last 2 for sure and warriors are gonna win.
Wish we could be there in person to support!
short yardage passes to pilares and salas sounds like a good beginning. bradley should start with his usual down the sidelines, but after a couple of does, he should fake the outside and go deep in the middle where he will be wide open. since our ol strenth is estes, pound a couple of running plays up the middle with green the lead blocker and moniz carrying the ball. give idaho things to think about the first 8 plays.
A successful initial drive resulting in SEVEN points will be the key….along w/ a motivated D flying around like the 1st half of the Wazzu game…. 😯 😐
…and “Special Teams” has to be special…. not “retarded”!!! 😐
~~•~~~~•~~~~•~ ★ ★ ★ Go WARRIORS!!! ★ ★ ★ ~•~~~~•~~~~•~~
on defense, let loose one the lb and bump their receivers at the line of scrimmage. when i say bump, i mean hit em. this will give the pressure man time to truly put pressure on the qb. hustle back to line of scimmage after every play and show that you mean business. walking slow does exactly that, slows you down and you not ready for the next play. this is college ball, not the pros, so hustle.
I ditto Whitey’s Hur-Rah comment.
Go WARRIORS!
GO WILDCATS!
Weber St. is my 2nd fav. team
for special teams on kickoffs, no scared run over the blockers, run em over, so your teammates can make the play.
They will allow LWJ to run and mix in short passes and screens.
Our D will step it up and slow down their running game — sorry Kama!
Aloha Pomai. Is it too late to post a score prediction?
Warriors – 49
Vandals – 32
no celebration for sacks, interceptions, or any other defensive plays. give the ball to the ref, run to the sidelines, then celebrate with your teammates. if the defense is on the field, offensive coordinator should be talking to the entire offense to make sure that know what plays, what routes, blocking, etc. As soon as there is a change from defense to offense, both teams hustle (no walking, run baby run). Show Idaho that you here to play football and you are what you want to be, WARRIORS!!!
same thing for offense, you celebrate on the sidelines, not on field while the game is still on. For the coaches, be organized, know what is going on the field and off, pay attention to your assignment, and most important talk to your players when they come off the field or getting ready to enter the game. Disorganization and miscommunication will kill you!!!!!!
Pomai . . .
If it is not too late —
31 to 29 us in a nail-biter.
ok, that’s game plan. nothing fancy, just basic football. blockling, tackling, running, and catching. if they no can do that, we in big troubles.
My thoughts – top 20, 25?
Go WARRIORS!
whitey 17.
RIGHT ON!!!
How will the game turn out?
I don’t know. Anything can happen on any given Saturday. I just hope the right outcome occurs.
ST
no can conservatives, “one scoop rice, please.”
BRING ME DA POT! 😆
hey, i feel like i slept Holiday Inn Express. 😀
Good Morning All!!! It’s game day!! I’m prepared to lose my voice while cheering like PP. Making the trip down to the kibble-n-bits dome here soon. I know the drive down to Moscow will be more than worth it to watch the Warriors continue their dominance over Idaho.

morning everyone
no arm chair coaching, just want the warrior’s to pull together as a team, catch each other’s back and be a band of brothers battling till the end. good fortune to the team and make us proud. to all the warrior faithful lets hope we have a good time watching the game and a better rest of the day.
da taser inventa wuz tinkin of … motivation… 😀

have a great day Tsaikos, to all of us!
gotta work, den go watch da game, same o same o.
will be yellin at da TV!
Warriors.. Go Warriors ! ! !
good morning and good morning again.
usually don’t arm chair QB before nor after games, but since you ask………..add in a little more shovel passes. shovel, shuttle, shuffle, whatever….but need to add some so they don’t T off on the O-line.
on defense they have no choice but stop their running game first. no doubt thats what they’ll try to establish from the get go. not stop them cold but enough to make them pass, this means commiting a safety closer to the line.
Bighilofan2 – i can tell its game day, you have a great day too……..
porgot, for those coaches that are upstairs today, no only look at what is going on, but anticipate what Idaho will do. after you send down the info to the field, you should be planning and talking about the next play. in other words, get info out faster to field and if cannot, then switch places and have different set of eyes upstairs. the present way of info flow is too slow. so upstairs coaches, if the players are going to hustle, you have to hustle like them, then everyone is into the game and we can overcome the present stigma.
Good morning Tsaikos!
Game Day! GO WARRIORS!
123 minutes till kickoff
g, where you guys going watch the game. looks like it is only on ppv, so got to get the spacecraft up to speed and go to the darkside.
before i ‘sign off’………howzit Whitey!
you enjoy the game and no eat too much like me. haaaa
The Warriors play hard as always!
The offense breaks the red zone dry spell!
The defense creates turnovers!
The special forces make a statement!
The football bounces our way today!
Go Warriors!
“commiting a safety closer to the line.”
ahem, maybe da coaches should plan on staying at da Holiday Inn Express next time, when day go SJSU. get 3 close by 😆

Hi, Bulla!

d1 and Mrs. must be feeling a bit chilly this morning down in Northern Oregon.
whitey 36

Go Warriors.
last night’s news
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3ISIzX8QdM
ok, enough pre-game arm chair qb from a fan who did not play the game. who dat??? Me, stupid!!!!!! talking to yourself keeps brain active. hahahahaaaaaa
getting ready to go to the darkside, so last thing, GO WARRIORS!!!!!!!
OK, headed out the door. See you all in the Kibble-n-bits dome.
It seems I spent this same weekend last year in Idaho watching another UH game, but that one was in boise.
c_c . . .
Thanks for the news!
dj . . .
Make a lot of noise!
Let’s Go Warriors! Dominate!
50!
GO WARRIORS!!!!!
Tackle!
Offensive approach remains a mystery to me. I thought it was gonna be balls out going forward from the Washington State game, but then Alexander is out and Moniz continues to get his “feet wet”.
However, I think the defense will play “olos out” as in knocking some Vandals hard out of their uniforms!!!
Go Go Go Warriors!
Have a safe drive, dj. And yell like there’s no tomorrow…you won’t be sorry, I promise. Wish I was there to yell with you.
Go Warriors…hope we see some bombs to Salas, and lots of YAC too.
Aloha Kakahiaka!!!
I don’t get the tailgate ride pic, but it’s more of a guy thang…
GO WARRIORS!!!
Yell loud for us djmithco. We’ll be yelling at the TV.
Esme & whoosh….
A good day to our neighbor:
Crisp and cool – no forget to take your medication(s) or stay close to the gas burner with big flames to keep warm!!
Heard a rumor that UH has begun to pull scholarship offers – is this true? I know that at call the coach, Mack said that offers are not out there forever and student athletes need to make their decision known to him and his staff.
Hawaii will blow out the Vandals!!!!!!!!!
It’s GAME day! …. Football…. Volleyball… then K5 replay of Football at 9:30…
WARRIORS… WAHINE… IMUA!!!!!
Go Warriors!!!!!!!
A bit of a break from the football talk.
For the most part, the team looks to be in much better physical shape that last season as Flemings and Thompson weren’t 100% at the start of the camp. This time, aside from Kurtz and Johnson, everyone appears to be 100%.
Love the Bows, love watching basketball in person, but I’m not the greatest and noticing the “little” things of the game, but we’ll see how much Coach Nash will be willing to develop that full court, uptempo game with the addition of Williams and Lay.
Apparently the “starting” line up looked like this as of last night: Flemings, Williams, Thompson, Balocka, and Amis.
It was only the first practice so it’s hard to say who would compete for what, but the only “locked” positions of starters would be Flemings, Amis, and Thompson. Since Kurtz couldn’t play last night I don’t know what he’s like or what kind of competition he’d give Balocka at center. We’ve seen our bigs play some “soft” basketball in the past so I don’t know how physical Kurtz can be even though he looks as if he could kill a man 5Xs before he hit the ground.
Barring injuries, we should have more production off the bench than last season.
RUSH THE TERAFLEX!!!
Who’s with me?
good luck warriors.
i hope u win this game.
idaho looks pretty decent.
warriors need to step up the d.
moniz looks good as far as accuracy, receivers has to catch the pass.
if not, idaho will run it and put points early on the board.
second half someone will lead by a landslide.
may the best team win.
go coach shoji. win that 1000.
i think the ladies will sweep vball in 3 sets.
at least there will be a reason to celebrate tonight.
Put Mack in quarantine might help. Have the head coach up in the box somewhere so the kids on the field have chance.
Hmmmm… Shouldn’t the replay of the football game be tomorrow at 10am and the replay of the Wahine game at 10:30 tonight?
Unless they’re gonna have the replay of the football game at 9:30 followed by the volleyball replay around midnight.
Ohio State goes down in a ball of flames to 1-5 Purdue.
Can’t help but laugh a little, but oh well.
SEE THE BALL…
KILL THE GUY RUNNING OR HOLDING THE BALL…
TACKLE TO CRIPPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO WARRIORS!!!
Kazz,
I dunno.. was just looking at the http://www.Zap2it.com tv schedule.
i think defensively we will come out aggressively. a lot blitzing, return to the nickelback blitzes, and the like. if anything we have been too soft on pressuring the qb. i think w/a pass first team like idaho we will address the rush right off the bat. moving blaze back to olb is something i have been waiting for. look for mana to have a breakout game.
offensively, a vastly improved moniz and company will “mo em down”. new found confidence in the running backs/game will also keep the all out rush tabled just enough to make plays. return of shovel pass, bubble screens, and inside screen will make a deep impact. then, finally we will see jovonte latch on to a couple of long ones. pilares will atone for last week’s dropsies.
nuff said
I hope djmitcho’s drive is/has been going well.
Looks like you’ve gotta cheer for all of us!
Noticed a bit of a Hawaii connection in that Idaho’s starting defensive end #95 Aaron Lavarias (6-3 248 Jr.) is the son of former Kahuku HC Clarence Lavarias. He’s from Woodinville, WA. The Lavarias family was well known as a very athletic family from Waialua HS back in the 70’s. Bro Lyle played at Utah and Fred was the coach at Waialua.
long night for you Kazz watching the game and replays later on tonight.
Bradford went down again this morning so I too am laughing a little…
Mostly when athletes go to see the great Dr. James Andrews, the athlete KNOWS something is really wrong with their body.
You got me really excited there for a second Kazz. I imagined a nineteen year old Leroy Lutu Sr. running around the court at the Gym lower campus. The I realized that you’re talking about Jr. not Sr., and Sr. played football at Washington about 28 years ago.
I’ll be cheering for Jr. though, especially if he’s as good as his dad.
Made,
As Ralph pointed out, if you’re right about the replay schedule I will be in for a long night… aka my typical weekend UH sports routine… go to game… pound beers after… go home to watch replay…. wake up on Sunday… mope around the house doing nothing… back to work waiting for the next UH home game…
ST:
On offense – first 3 or 4 plays should be “sutdent body right”, “sutdent body left” until Idaho stops UH. Then, do a 4-wide out formation and have a slot move to a RB position to form an “I” and run several plays which includes screens. Next, hit the receivers at short yardage and just let them run for YAC. Then, repeat until Idaho stops them.
Defense – I say go with “8-in the box” to stop the run and then call various changes such as LBs or DL dropping back into pass coverage
while LBs rush the line. Coaches use very simple motions such as 1-arm up or 2-arms up or arms folded against the chest, etc to signal defensive alingment. MLB must relay to the DL and LB, by pointing, who drops back and who charges the line of scrimmage. Coaches change the signals after a few series to throw Idaho off. Difficult, NO, must have great focus by UH defense. Therefore, before the game starts and during the game, the defensive unit must huddle to hear coaching instructions and this includes the back-ups as they can be called to go in at any moment. None of this shit of “lolly gaging and grab ass” along the side lines!
I wish Coach Mack would tell his staff, “enough of this bull shit. You guys work together or changes will be made at seasons end. You devise a scheme for the game or second half and brief me, as a group, why you can or can not support the DC/OCs plan.” If the plan sucks, then it’s up to Coach Mack to make OC/DC changes.
Sorry gang, but I’m revisiting my Army training for current and future operations.
Wait Kazz, you’re not laughing about somebody getting hurt are you?
Aloha Kakahiaka!
ST- I think whatever you said will be the opposite… because now the Vandals have you on their radar… so of course they will think you are trying to mislead them and will think the Warrions will do the opposite of what they think… (see Custer’s speech to Jack Crabbe in Little Big Man for the logic).
GO WARRIORS!!!
I saw on ESPN.com that the Tennessee Titans lost their 2nd starting CB. That led me to find this article from today’s Tennesseean:
http://www.tennessean.com/article/20091017/SPORTS01/910170326/2072/SPORTS
With Cortland Finnegan (hamstring) not expected to play and Nick Harper (broken forearm) out of the lineup, Mouton and McCourty are likely to be the starting cornerbacks against one of the NFL’s best passing attacks.
Pride,
Lutu Jr. made a lot of believers out of him from last season. Hard to believe he is on “walk on” status, but I think that had more to do with timing than anything.
The kid is an athlete, with a little bit of pi*s and vinegar in him. He’s gotten stronger this season. If anything he’ll make a difference in games by his defensive play and/or drawing fouls as he’s right up there with Hiram Thompson as far as his ability driving to the net and the vision to do so when it’s necessary.
A Warrior victory and a bolo head Stretch….priceless.
Tackle, tackle, tackle.
Execute on offense
@ A-House: RIGHT ON BRADDAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Landry Jones sucks.
Can a 3 loss OKU team remain in the Top 25????
It wouldn’t surprise me… 🙄
Sooners get the ball back… so what??
Landry Jones can’t move air.
(I’m trying to keep my mind off the anticipation of the Idaho game…)
re-post #64
sry for my young daughters posts, she was only mimicking what all the other second graders at her school are saying. i’ll be having a long talk with her
RT @HawaiiAthletics: Warriors to sport all-white uniforms. Team wearing new white pants with green tapa trim.
OK- off the join Kymry and the gang!
Latahs!
This is it! This is where the Warriors draw the line in the turf… dig their feet in and turn the season around!!!
WARRIORS IMUA!!!
Go for broke! WHOOOOOTAH!
Hi Kawika- thanks for the Idaho/Hawaii connect!
LOL @ shining light…
@ LizKauai: FINALLY!!!!!!!! was waiting for the boys to sport the all whites!!!Wait a minute…………last time they wore all white, they got LICKINS!!!!!! IN A DOME!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Hopefully today is different…MUCH different…
Agree that the warriors must blitz more often and gang tackle. They are not strong and fast enough to overpower the other teams. Sure, they might be burnt on some big plays, but lets hope that a risk-taking defense will also counter those by scoring some on its own, like interceptions, fumbles, etc.
Offensive wise, they should go to the short passes, in and out, as the offensive line cannot give the QB too much time for long passes. This would be better for Moniz since he does not have a strong arm but is quite accurate on shorter passes. In the red zone, they should find a big strong lineman and use him as the short yardage back.
Good luck to the Warriors! (I’ll be watching at Genji)
Good luck to Dave Shoji (and team) in tryihng to win 1,000!
(We’ll be there at SSC to witness it)
21-10 with UH a winner
Utah State leading Nevada 14-0, early 2nd.
21-10 with UH a winner====Go Bows
ST,
I say the warriors come out, see their own shadows, get scared, and then they scurry back under the mack’s butt.
Idaho takes a 28-0 lead in the first half.
In the second half, the warriors come out again, see their shadows again, and this time scurry for cover under robert’s butt, which provide ample shade and cover.
At the end, Idaho wins 58-0, and the warriors lick their non-existent wounds, wondering when things will change.
Robert and Mack high five and chest bump each other on another fine game.
Monday morning, UH fans clamor again for mack’s head. The clamoring gets louder and more ugly.
This is my Saturday morning analysis.
Suggestion: instead of the haka, UH should do the Faka.
How about put some football pads on the wahine volleyball, then we can beat and sweep idaho.
Just a blog opinion thought.
Hey JJ why i nevah see u and homey at the Happy Day Parade in Disneyland?
I thought u had a girlfriend?
That explains it.
Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂
Anyone who has watched this team from the beginning of the year knows that they have it in them to do better than they have the last couple of games. My advice to the team:
Have fun, and just win baybee, just win! You can do it!!!
Good Morning All! Game time ETA in T minus 16 minutes and counting! GO Warriors!
35-7 Weber State over Sacramento State at 1/2 time
Just as some get annoyed when the UH is referred to as the Rainbows those from Hawai’i need to show the same respect to others and learn to say the names correctly.
Moss-co.
NOT Moss-cow.
Geez. Hard is that?
ESPN Plus/ESPN Regional telecast.
Looks like Leahey and Yamanoha didn’t make the trip to this road game either, unless I’ve been mistaken.
Wow, Idaho is getting a HUGE push from their interior OL…
Don’t think Game Over yet, gang!
That ref got a knockdown on Mana Silva…The Idaho RB wold have been stopped.
Great play call that Rolo scripted. First play for Moniz–easy short pass and let Pilares run with it. That is how UH started the Fresno State game also, good to get Moniz going.
Great running after the catch for Salas! Nice drive going.
Touchdown!
Great scramble by Moniz! Idaho had pressure and it was 2nd and 10, so that was a drive-saving run.
TD Inoke on the Wildcat in the red zone!
Red zone TD!
Awright… 7 all.!!! Way to go.. INOKE!
Glad he redeemed himself for that fumble the last time.
Nice TD by Inoke!
Hmmm….I’ll take the OVER for the game total, Alex.
ND v. USC on the tube, Hawaii on the ‘puter, Octoberfest beer on the table, and Tsaikos on the blog. Yessss!
Oh well, speed kills!
That was WAY too easy for Idaho…first TD for that WR this season.
OK, our turn.
Time for the Defense to step up!
How do you answer that comeback by the Vandals?
Oh well. Back on offense it is.
99club,
It sure looks like the OVER is going to happen, another WAC shootout. The good thing for UH is that Idaho’s pass defense is their weak spot on D, which matches up nicely with UH.
Still, the D has got to do a better job or they are putting a lot of pressure on Moniz and the O.
Well, at least the defense can rest 🙁
Taylor has looked dangerous on both kick returns in this game.
Howzit Garret! Yup, the D will tighten up, I’m sure. This is going to be a barn burner! Wish I was there. That’s a neat venue for a game. More like a concert atmosphere since the dome’s so small.
Nice to see LWJ getting the job done
This ESPN360 feed is SWEET. Nice throw, tough drop.
LWJ is looking good!
GREAT 3rd-and-14 conversion and a long run after catch for Bradley!
Yeah! Nice play!
GREAT job by the OL on that 3rd down, Moniz had a clear view of the entire field with no pressure.
Notice the yards after catch? He’s hitting them in stride. NICE.
Got to convert in the red zone…no way to win without red zone success in a high scoring game.
LWJ’s lookin’ really good!
What’s the score?
OK, they saw that play before.
Nice pass, tough drop again.
Duffer,
14-10, Idaho.
Moniz is slinging it well!
Of course we would’ve preferred a TD, but dang those were two good drives!
99club:
Yep. The ESPN360 feed is pretty good. The announcers are fair; at least I can watch the game with the volume on.
Listening to these clowns trying to pronounce the Hawaii names is like finger nails down a chalkboard. Don’t they prepare?
Defense.. DEfense.. DEFEnse..DEFENSE
Howzit CRW! You’re right about the announcers being fair, but that one guy obviously made no effort to learn how to pronounce names before calling this game.
3d and long. Hold ’em!
ESPN360 with a fiber optic feed is awesome. Paying just $30 per month for internet access for my home when they gave us $250 to sign up was a great deal…
Idaho sure showed confidence in their OL by running up the middle on 3rd-and-3. Iupati is an excellent run blocker…I’ve been trying to see how he has been doing against the Warrior DTs.
14-10 Vandals at the end of the 1st qtr.
At least one ESPN guy can pronounce “Iupati”…the color commentator really didn’t practice at all! Maybe he just didn’t bother practicing the OL names.
The first play of the 2nd quarter will be huge…it would be great for the D to get the stop, and it is important for the D to get off the field and not get worn down.
@99club
Mahalo!
Kinda hard lugging a tv on the golf cart 🙂
Cmon Dee!
99club:
Yeah, I noticed that, how the one guy is saying ’em ok, while the other one continues to fumble on their names.
Can’t guarantee announcer fairness in next week’s game, which will most likely be carried on ESPN360. When Boise’s been on ESPN360, they’ve been carrying the 7-Sports/Boise feed. You know how they are…..
Nice stop on 3rd down!
OL got away with holding on 2nd down.
CRW, next week’s game’s already scheduled for ESPN360. How does Oceanic make any $ on their streaming deal?
Thought we would have had a free play on that one. 1st down anyway.
Siavii just gave UH a first down on 3rd-and-4 by going way offsides.
How did he escape that? Nice.
Wow, if Green got past that 1 LB, he would have run FAR.
Duffer,
10-6 Arkansas over Florida 6:44 in the 3d qtr. Still 14-10 in our game.
Oh no
Idaho is definitely blitzing as a big part of their game plan on D. Some blitzes they show early, others they come late, trying to confuse Moniz.
leg whipped?
Oh no…Bradley is grabbing his leg/calf.
No leg whip penalty when making a tackle…just a bad luck play.
Oh n-o-o-o-o-o-o-o. Bradley looks like he’s hurt after that last play.
Easy to sustain a fracture on that kind of leg whip
Howzit Liz!
postmanke,
I thought the same thing as your #164…I hope that Bradley is okay.
That looked horrible. He’s done for the year, for sure.
Bradley is still down and the stretcher is out…I feel so bad for Bradley.
Not a good sign for Bradley… dang!!
That is unfortunate, wish him a speedy recovery.
Is this game on the internet? I would love to watch here in Korea! Got up early an everything!
Go Warriors!!!!
TD USC. 21-7 with 7:29 left in the 3rd
SojuNTaegu,
It’s on ESPN360 for free, or Oceanic streaming for a small fee…equivalent to a couple jungle juices or white dogs.
Florida just scored. 13-10 FL 3 min left in the 3rd.
Thanks man! Anyone know what happened to Bradley?
99club,
I thought that Oceanic only offered streaming video for UH home games.
1420 is several minutes behind ESPN360.
Must be an Idaho time-shift.
Go Moniz!
I’d love to see Chizy on a crossing pattern
Wow, Moniz is doing a GREAT job with his scrambling, but he really needs to go down quicker because he took a big hit.
Yeah, I was holding my breath at the end of that run! Tought hit to the head.
#175- looks like tibia to us.
Warriors moving the ball!! Gotta win this one for Bradley and Alexander!
Stay cool as a cucumber Moniz – we got this game
Moniz looks GREAT!
Tick…..tock…..tick……tock…..
Facemask?
Ouch on the tibia Liz… Thanks for the update.
Garret,
My bad, I’m pretty sure you’re right about Oceanic only doing home games.
That reverse to Taylor from the ‘Noke formation was predictable and developed too slowly.
i was just thinking fake… lol good time to go for it, didnt work but i love it!
Talk about a bad spot!
Red zone offense…sigh.
Fake! Nice.
Fake FG…but Idaho stopped UH at the 2.
game is on http://www.channelsurfing.net now.
At least they are trying a whole slew of different things and taking some risks… 3 yards shy of 6 points.. dang!
FAKE FG! No good. Still 14-10 Vandals, 4 minutes left in the half. They have the ball on their 2.
13-13 FL-AR at the beginning of the 4th.
Congratulations to Idaho’s players and coaches for that stop. They stayed at home even thought UH never showed that play this season. Inoke hit LWJ in stride, UH executed the play exactly as planned…Idaho’s player just stayed home and made the tackle.
You can tell by enos eyes the fake was on. Good stuff. keep the focus – we got this game
199
That was a LONG drive for UH…that could pay off later in the game because Idaho’s D could get tired.
Dang.
My mistake, on the replay Inoke didn’t hit LWJ in stride…but Idaho had a guy back there to watch for the fake no matter what.
TD USC. 27-14 late in 3rd.
Idaho is making our Defense look so porous.
I’m glad that pass was a little too long or Idaho would have had 2 long TD passes.
Good D! Idaho punting.
4th down! Idaho’s QB missed 2 straight open receivers.
1:15 left in the half. Hawaii’s ball on the UH 15.
Didn’t the Idaho guy have the football when they took everyone off the pile? I’m glad it is UH ball, though!
Beer break!
Close call on that fumble.
8 seconds lost between the out-of-bounds and the timeout call.
Come on!
Did it take 8 seconds after the play was over before UH called the timeout? I don’t know if that was the ref’s problem or the coaches, but it looks like the clock ticked down from 1:00 to 0:52.
I meant to say the catch and tackle, not the out-of-bounds as was said in my previous post.
CRW,
I was typing the same thing.
Man, I like the way Moniz is playing.
UH called the timeout quickly this time…but they didn’t need to because the clock stops after the first down.
Ugh! Go out of bounds, brah!
My mistake, Idaho called that timeout…crazy, since that helps UH.
time mgt
Moniz is playing very, very well! His mobility has been key to this game and a less mobile QB would have not made as many plays.
Kind of looks like it was a official problem rather than a coaching problem with the 8 seconds.
Hawaii down to Idaho 38 with 40 sec. left in the half. One timeout left.
We’re going to score. You watch.
very reminiscent vs UNLV this game.
Why not go for it on 4th down with 10 seconds left?
If the pass is incomplete, Idaho has a few seconds and 60 yards to go!
20-13 Arkansas over Florida 9:40 left in the game.
Garret,
Good question. #227.
Halftime key stat:
3 red zone drives:
TD
FG
stopped on 4th down fake
Bad trend and 10 points in 3 red zone drives is near the bottom of red zone success in the national stats.
14-10 Idaho at the half.
TD USC. 34-14 with 13 min. left in the game.
227 – Garret,
Previous plays ~ sack and almost INT – I’m pretty sure that’s why
I’m usually pro-coach but I really don’t like the time management issues we see time after time. Any possession is an opportunity to stick it.
Add a power package for short red zone or an option series and this would be a different team.
Garret,
What did you think of the TX game? Not as much scoring as I had expected but still had a happy ending.
LETS GO WARRIORS!!! LETS DO IT FOR A FALLEN BROTHER!!!
Nevada squeaks by Utah State for the 35-32 victory.
La. Tech blowing out NMSU 45-0 through mid-4th quarter.
FL scored. 20-20 with 7 min left in the game.
DPK,
Agreed. Or even just a BIG TE target.
nothing wrong with the run n shoot inside the red zone.
its the play calling. okay, the inoke worked by surprise the first time and granted we dropped two td passes in the endzone.
but, on the one that we had first and goal at the five, we run for 3 yds and we should have just kept running the next three times. idk??? why go back to the inoke again and again????
fake fg???? why???
arrrrgghhhh.
i’ll shut up now.
ND scored. 34-21 11:13 left.
Make that 34-20. USC blocked the try.
99club,
That game was a classic example of two excellent offensive lines, with mostly seniors playing that are All-Americans last year or are candidates to be All-American this year, that just got *dominated* by the defensive lines. Great D on both sides.
If Texas recovered the fumble near the goal line, they score a TD. If Colt McCoy went down instead of trying to fight for more yards when he was wrapped up by the D, Texas probably scores another TD. But the Texas D played well enough that Texas’ O didn’t need to score much.
UH had a LOT of success with option plays near the goal line. With Moniz being so mobile, I don’t see why that hasn’t been tried at all.
Yes, dont look past Utah St
al,
Yeah, those were tough ones. You’d think we’d follow Estes up the middle a few times in that situation.
Mixed emotions. I don’t like being down right now, but we are DRIVING and Moniz looks great. Future’s looking bright!
to me we should employ the paul johnson spread offense inside the ten. it is probably the most effective 3 yard offense around. the old triple option from a team that passes would certainly keep the defense in a frenzy. rego the big back and chizzy with salas, pilares in a slot or wr. panic time for a defense.
well, what do i know.
yup 99.
okay second half….let’s get it done.
Still 20-20 FL-AR. AR missed a 38-yd FG attempt. 3 min left in the 4th.
Ooooo…ND intercepts and have the ball on the USC 12.
3rd and 7
ND scored. 34-27 7 minutes left.
Bad first drive, but at least receivers are getting open.
Pilares dropping a lot of balls. Wasted opportunity.
Hope the D can get us the ball back!
Man, that play was there. Idaho’s ball.
FL in FG range with 1 min. left.
Nice to hear their announcers questioning Idaho’s play calling. 🙂
I’m glad that Idaho’s QB has been missing so many passes this game.
99club,
I agree with the announcers–I don’t know why Idaho doesn’t run the ball more…their drives have been stopped mostly by incomplete passes.
Crap. Where’s the pass rush?
Now that I posted #260, Idaho goes and completes 2 passes and gets a scramble for 8 yards…
LBs overpursuing and Idaho is getting BIG yards on cutbacks.
Come on Warriors!
Concentrate!!!
TD Idaho on the 3rd down run.
Warriors gotta respond on this drive… can’t let themselves fall back any further.
Illegal substitution on UH on the extra point try?
14-play drive that took forever for Idaho. Warriors need to score now and keep Idaho’s offense off the field for awhile so that the D can rest and adjust.
Like Robert said, “let’s get it started NOW!”
Aaron Kia offsides again…
Wow, Kia almost tripped and fell backwards before the ball was snapped. 2nd-and-13, need to get this first down!
Alright Avery!
First down to Avery on 3rd-and-13! Excellent protection by the OL!
Oline is not giving Moniz enough time. The pocket collapsed completely around Moniz just too quickly…
DE got around Hansen for the sack…
Kia injured…who goes in at LT?
FL won, 23-20 over AR.
3rd and 5 is much better than 3rd and 10…Idaho offsides again.
LONG first down completion to Taylor!
Nice run after catch!
Final. 34-27 USC over ND.
Moniz 5-for-5 for 48 yards passing on this drive according to the announcers.
Call plays like EVERY down is 3rd and 10.
4th quarter will begin after the break. 3rd and 1…huge play for the Warriors!
Oops! Clock operator putting 1 sec back on the clock. ND has one shot left from the USC 4. Lucky, eh? 😉
Dang. Red-Zone time.
TD!!!
Great to see UH starting to master the art of the time-consuming drive.
1st down!
Nice pass to Medeiros on 3rd down!
TD!!!!!!!
TD Moniz! Yeeeeehaaaaw!
TD Moniz on the scramble! Red Zone TD!
Go for 2
No need to worry about red zone play calling if Moniz can just scramble like that.
I wonder if those out of bounds kick offs are intentional.
Moniz has to have an AMAZING 3rd-down completion percentage in this game. Wow.
Dah! Down 4
TWO kickoffs out of bounds in this game?
Dang. We just gave them 20 yards. That penalty’s too severe.
Go Kama!
Sorry to all the Warriors. Hard to break the habit of cheering for a fellow Monarch.
Uhhh, GO WARRIORS!
Huge possession now.. gotta get that ball back from Idaho and take the lead
What’s da score?
Great tackle by Spencer Smith…2nd and 6 became 3rd and long.
Looks like we dodge one with the incomplete call.
dayumn … got the fumble but couldn’t recover the ball…
UH got a break…that should be a first down for Idaho. Clear call, blown by the refs…but UH benfits!
Sure looked like a legit fumble by the Idaho receiver. We’ll see how it comes out.
Duffer,
21-17 bad guys.
Spencer Smith made the tackle for loss on 2nd down and then caused the fumble on 3rd down. Great job stepping up!
Darn replay…but they made the correct call.
Hold tough Dee!
C’mon D! We need a stand right here.
Wow, that was a good audible by Idaho’s QB. Pass down to the 3.
28-17. Dang.
TD Idaho.
28-17 8:40 left.
1st down! Nice.
Great conversion on 3rd-and-10! Moniz is on fire every 3rd down, and Avery has done a nice job.
pocket collapses again.. fumble.. dang!!! NOT GOOD.
Fumble, Idaho recovered…
Dang it.
Vandals will try to run down the clock.. I’m sure.
Tackling 101???
Obvious passing situation… how did he get so open? ouch!
Need a TO
*Tsai*
Wow, that was a big 3rd down conversion for Idaho for a huge gain. UH needs a turnover or the game is over.
Hi, Liz!
How did they turn out?
Stop them now or it is all over.
I’m soooo down right now :(. Is there any way to come out of here with a win? Let’s Go Warriors!
Sorry if your family reads this, but Kia needs to be a guard
really,…..sigh……….
Vandals shoot themselves in the foot on that one.
Huge opportunity for Hawaii here to stop the Vandals and get that ball back.
Well, I guess there helping us :)!
2nd and 23, stop them!
That TV color guy is clueless.
2nd and 33, stop them! Idaho would have had 3rd and 20 or so, so maybe declining could have saved time.
don’t take the penalty! geeeeeze
color guy knows more than mac
They actually converted 3rd and 26!
A-a-a-a-a-a-n-d that’s all she wrote.
sha na na good bye, good bye
Time to sub like crazy and give everyone a chance.
Four straight.
Tsigh.
Losses to
UNLV
La Tech
Fresno
Idaho
=
No Hawaii Bowl
This season is starting to turn really fugly.
Mack made the right decision, the color guy is talking nonsense. All for not since they converted 3rd down.
Tough loss comin’ up but things look very promising for future games. Too many drops on key plays. Turnovers. Hat’s off to Idaho, they’re going to be tough from now on!
And that’s it.
Oh well. We’ll see what Boise has in store for us.
Ceteris parabus, that has the looks of being another ugly matchup.
Mack has his work cut out for him.
No way he can spin this loss.
Horrible play in every way (props to Moniz, Medeiros and the receivers.
At least Moniz played very, very well and he’s a sophomore. His first UH road game didn’t scare him at all.
On a positive note I think we found a quarterback and will stable in that position for three years.
I’ve said this from day one, why can’t we recruit REAL OT’s
It’s not fair to the QBs, the team and boys themselves to be outclassed and out played every week.
Agree, probably a losing season, but at least we found a QB.
Moniz can’t play with his back on the turf……..
Good O-tackles are hard to find. This same discussion is happening at the NFL level as we speak.
Karma. Helmet spear karma.
Seems there is some urgency now.
A tad late, though.
Who’s going to the NV game?
TD
TD Hawaii!
Odd to hear about the stats and how well the Warriors did as the PAT is blown.
Good redzone practice.
Perhaps a respectable score?
Go Warriors!
Ok, suck it up, game over.
Get ready for thr Broncos
Time for a upset at home!
Go Warriors!
Break the Broncos!!!
Go Warriors!
Break the Broncos!!!
all in the plan to get Boise State overconfident?
This room is applauding for
Moniz and co!
Go Warriors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pomai . . .
31 – 28 us, naturally!
Ferd is interviewing Teo on tv. Sheesh.
Keeping the failth
UH 28 – BSU 24
I sure hope the guys realize they can actually score TD’s if they put their minds to it.
Teo? Not a Warrior.
I’ll pay oceanic to watch again next week

Coaches Poll:
1 Florida wins a close one at home in the final seconds against an unranked team.
2 TX didn’t look good against OK at all, but won.
3 Alabama will probably pound the daylights out of South Carolina. They’ll get a few more #1 votes, for sure.
4 VT is losing to #19 GT 21-10.
5 USC beat ND. They’ll be movin’ on up like the Jeffersons!
6 Boise won on the road, but not in spectacular fashion. Should be 5 next poll.
7 Ohio St. lost.
8 TCU won convincingly
9 Cincy won on the road against undefeated team.
10. LSU off. Next up Auburn.
Hawaii Bowl with UI playing?
So much red ink it might kill the bowl.
chopsueyboy . . .
Nice drive over the hill out on I-90. About six hours at the speed limit. Four to five if you sprout wings. HA!
Did he make it in three with the after-burners?
Pomai,
You know.
what is the highest ranking team that we defeated?
BYU?
Wonder where UH will rank in the Bottom 20 poll this week?
Last week they were in 17th place
rasu . . .
No question.
If the Warriors are not there neither are the crowds.
Drawing fans from both schools this year will be especially tough with the higher airfares. Hopefully, the hotels and bowl put some nice packages together to help entice the fans.

How did the Wildcats do?
SMU 7
Navy 7 1Q
Positives:
-Moniz
-Avery
-Medeiros
-Salas, of course.
Negatives:
-More injuries.
-Pass rush still nowhere to be found (see “more injuries”)
-“Interesting” and predictable offensive playcalling out of the wildcat.
The “WTF” moments of the game:
==================
Big prayers to Rodney Bradley at this time, hearing that his injury is “Joe Theisman-like”…
Wafan
Look for free tix to the Hawaii Bowl at Safeway and Longs and ABC store and Payless shoes and Don Quihote and Sears and Taniguchi store and McDonalds and Genji and….you get then picture…..
Bet you that JD is glad that he is not the director of the Hawaii bowl anymore
More speculation that Rodney Bradley’s injury is a complete fracture of his tibia and fibula.
-Per orthopedic surgeon on 1420am just now.
wafan,
Thanks for asking. Another win.
59-14 over Lewis & Clark. It was over in the first 7:00 of the game. 21-0 by then. Biggest challenge for the coaches in the 2nd half was to get PT for 100+ players.
Next week. Game of the Year at Willamette in Salem….and we’ll be there! 🙂
Kazz,
Tough to hear about Bradley.
wafan
don’t know what gear he had his car in
hopefully he stayed near the speed limit
he’s staying at the team’s haunted hotel tonight
before driving back tomorrow
how many Hawaii fans at game?

Make sure you have an oxygen tank when you put that much effort in your celebrations.
Kazz . . .
Please cheer loudly (as if I really had to ask you) for all of us who cannot be there tonight!
1000!!!
chopsueyboy . . .
Is he in room 13 overlooking the skull orchard?
Go Wahine!!!
I sure hope there is a sellout tonight. That would be so awesome for Shoji and the girls.
Is the game being televised?
If it is and if someone is recording it could I get a copy?
Time to bocha to wash this loss off. Then off to dinner.
Any word on Bradley?
OK.
GO WAHINE!!!
whew.
i’ll still be a fan.
but, somebody please bring me a fan, i think i have a fever.
first comment goes to Bradley. All the best dude!
Coach Mack,
Do better sir.
We understand that you don’t have much to work with right now… Fate has not been kind to our fallen Warriors, but still… there should be no reason as to why when you ask a group of defensive players: “Who’s gonna make a play” and only ONE Warrior raises his hand…
If the kids are not going to get up and motivated, then you and your staff need to kick some OKOLE!!!
That’s all…
no idea what room
gotta take a breather to enjoy the view of waves breaking at ala moana beach park…will continue victory lap shortly…at my age, don’t want to do too much all at once
2nd comment the….
POSITIVES
1) Moniz did a pretty darn good job at putting the ball in the receivers hands.
2) It wasn’t raining and cold in the Kibby Dome.
Blaze Soares,
I and many fans still gonna back you all till the end and we don’t question you, but braddah… go kick some okole amongst some of your brothers in green cause some appear to be falling asleep.
That’s all….
“5 consecutive losses”.
yep.
Bryant Moniz,
GREAT GAME TONIGHT SIR!!!
As a fan, I am proud to have you as our QB!!! The future looks good for you and for us.
BTW, anyone that doesn’t tip you at work this coming week, go take one doo doo in their mailbox and tell them I did it.
That’s all…
Positives – Da Players
Negatives – Da Head Coach
My prayers go out to Rodney Bradley
Who’s with me? 😆
3 comment the…..
NEGATIVES
1) Our D-Line is sloooooow and our defense is no where to be found. If you can’t stop the basic run up the middle time after time you are pretty much done.
2) Enos…..out of bounds on TWO kickoffs??? =(
3) Receivers dropping passes that are in their hands…Which brings me to the whole Ron Lee thing…Wasn’t he relieved of O-coordinator duty so that he could work MORE with the receivers? He needs to work on dropped passes.
4) Offensive line was pretty offensive to me….I will pray for 2 things, Bradley and some decent O-Tackles that can actually block once in a while.
That being said…Hawaii Bowl is I think pretty much out of the question. Lets gear up and try to salvage whatever is left and hope for a much better season next year.
Go Warriors.
Re: Robert Kekaula’s comments on 1420 post game show. If the coaches asked the defense “Who is gonna make a play, who is gonna lead etc etc” (paraphrasing) and only ONE person raised their hands……..SHAME SHAME ON THE COACHES…..how much does it cost to get Lou Holtz to come in a do a pep talk? hahaha =P
Bradley my thoughts and prayers go out to you! MO you ARE the MAN!! Sorry Blaze, the D just didn’t do that much better this week–please continue to be the motivator. Coach Mac, I remain hopeful! Boise is up next week guys–Go Warriors!
Well, its official we have lost to Idaho, I will repeat that for dramatic effect, Idaho, and control the cellar, well it really cant get any worse, the fact that we make the same mistakes is really unbelievable on defense and in the red zone. What I cannot seem to wrap my arms around is that why has this program dropped so far in less than 2 years. Offense looked better but can we PLEASE get somebody to replace Kia at left tackle, if he is best we got, our qbs are going to continue to get killed. Oh.well nothing else left to say, no bowl game, lets just hope we can win a few on the home stretch but Mack is in trouble, he should be the football team’s press aide because he always talks a great game, but he gets outcoached every week…..
Great job Bryant Moniz!
We are behind you and many fans believe in you and are so proud of you!
Praying for Bradley and hoping to hear an update soon.
GO WARRIORS!!!
Great to see you lizk!
Not too bad a game…we still need work, but Moniz was great, RBs not too bad. Leon went stay go. I liked the wildcat! (I don’t know enuf to say anything about the D- & O-line.)
The receivers need to work with the JUGS before practice like some of their notable Warriors have done in the past. Develop the hands.
Prayers out to St. Damien for Rodney Bradley. And healing thoughts out to GA & all the other guys who are banged up & hurting.
Stretch, young Grasshopper, all you need are yellow robes. :))
Esme & out…. See some of you at WVB tonight!
SMU 21 – 7 NAVY in the third Qtr??? Wow, at least JJ is having some fun today!!!
from tweeter:
StephenTsai: Bradley is undergoing surgery. He’s out for the year
slugger,
thanks for the shiso! =)
Dang… lost Bradley on top of it all. Auwe.
man thats terrible news about bradley. hoping a very very speedy recovery.
I have had UH season tickets 31 years now. This years team looks a lot like those von appon teams, except we have 2 wins… so far in the wac, defeated 0-3. Very embarassing as the warriors defense can not stop anyone. 3rd and 30? no problem 37 yards and a 1st down. Whats with the drop passes, fumbles etc. Fake field goal was a good idea or even going for it on 4th but it back fires when the opponents march 95 yards down the field and score. I don’t know if I can bare to watch Boise St. 49 – 0 at half? We already know #1. warriors unable to stop the run, pass, 3rd and long and #2. offense can’t score more than the opponents. Coach Mac, you are a defensive guru… this must be eating you up inside big time.
Prayers and positive thoughts to the Bradley family.
Looking forward to your return next year!
Who says it will be 49-0 BSU at the half?
Tough game to lose, but Idaho is a solid team and they just made more plays when it counted. They really wanted it. Still yet, the Warriors didn’t give up and considering the injuries the offense looked really good at times. Red zone still very disappointing to say the least– on both sides of the ball.
I hate it when the guys get blown out. This wasn’t one of those games and with a game like this that was really much closer than the final score I have a hard time feeling all that bummed.
49 – 0 at half UH
I’d say that appagom said it lol.
49-0 at the half? we may not be good, but we arent that bad gosh.
I am guessing the spread will be around 15-18 pts??? give or take a few. the gurus were pretty accurate with Idaho’s spread with the opening line so itll be interesting to see how much Boise will be favored by.
man, Alabama’s defense is looking really really solid against both the run and the pass.
440…. whoosh!
Offensively we putting up the numbers but the only numbers that count is the score. Need to convert in the red zone, no 3 and outs, control clock and keep the defense on the bench. Just imagine if Moniz had the skilled players around him like Colt had. At least Moniz is a gamer…
wafan- veddy goot- pic on fb.. !
Anyone know why they moved Mana Lolotai back to middle? I liked the Soares, Kisel-Kauhane, Paredes lineup better…
StephenTsai: Consensus here is Keo should have been kicked out for the leg whip.
October 17, 2009 12:43:14 pm
I agree. He kicked his leg up to trip Bradley. No call.
Steve Tsai,
what things specifically did McMackin take responsibility for? did he elaborate at all as to what things went wrong that was under his control? i cannot fully believe that everything that went wrong could be put on the coach.
or was it more of general statement?
Blaze is a better blitzer from the outside. That prompted the move.
So far in the first half SMU has more rushing yards than passing.
Go Warriors….
Regroup again, find something to focus on……
WSU Wildcats 49 Sac State 10 final
GO WARRIORS
GO WILDCATS (X2)
I think the agreement is that if Idaho is eligible, it would go to the Humanitarian Bowl. Another bowl likely will pick up Boise.
3rd quarter SMU 160 yd rushing – 129 yd passing.
Slugger ~ Stretch really did ‘man up’ to his haircut. If you watch KITV and KHNL this eve, you will see the brave young Grasshopper take his licken’s.
Oh…the game. Ahhh yeah…maybe next time.
looked more like a trip than a legwhip. Is there a tripping penalty in college?
Positive: these UI boys that UH never offered are doing well.
Positive: NMSU lost today so maybe UH can share being the bottom feeders till next wee and hopefully NMSU will lose and UH will win.
Positive: Moniz proved he can play for UH
Positive: Salas continues to be a bright spot for all of us to enjoy
Negative: No bowl game for UH this year.
Negative: Excuses, excuses, excuses and more to come. Our #1 back ups should be as good as our starters so no injury or academic excuses allowed.
All things being said- the awe-fense is pretty exciting to watch.
I never thought I would see someone break their leg like that without passing out or throwing up tho… just saying…
Prayers for Bradley and our ailing Warriors.
Any word on GA???
Navy scores and is leading 35 – 28. SMU marching at their own 42.
GO WAHINE!!!
Yea for Linfield!
Saw them. Guess what I decided to have for dinner rather than head out. Yep, you talked me in to it.
I will enjoy the heady aroma as I ever so gently open the halves to reveal the hot steamy goodness within. Softly and oh so enticingly the invigorating perfume entices and fills me completely as I move slowly and lovingly closer for a nibble at the warm and firm apex. It will soon enough force my focus just before I consume that which is before me.
Ultimately, I will have smothered the inner surfaces with globs of quivering bits of luscious strawberry preserves; before, happily and eagerly, licking and lapping at the little rivulets of sweet goodness as they run down onto my fingers.
Highlight of my day so far-
Mr. Kymry was well enough to cook WAY TOO MUCH FOOD (a true Tsai-so, him) for our game gathering today! Got to meet his bro and family who are visiting from America.
We got to see Kymry’s Warrior treasures before she dashed off to help with the high school cross country meet this afternoon.
pix on FB…
Warriors,
summa you did real good, and uncle’s proud that you showed pride in yourselves.
summa you just neva play our best. for example, you was scared that Moniz was hanging you out to dry with his pass and da D coming at you fo full on contact.
but the truth is, good players would have made the plays. no blame the next guy, blame yourselves.
and the same goes for the coaches.
okay, losing is getting easier. one snap and clear.
wafan… 😯 😳 😎
wafan
wat yu doing wit da food? 😯
And SMU scores all tied at 35 -35.
I going eat ’em. I not going play wid ’em.
What Liz. You have to admit that was a pretty good description of eating a scone in slow motion!
And game goes into overtime.
bhf2 . . .
You want to join us in a meal of fresh hot scones with strawberry preserves with chunks of berry?
On their first opportunity SMU tries a field goal and misses.
Sorry to hear about Bradley a huge loss for us,I wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him back next season.
Navy wins in overtime with a field goal. 38 -35.
Mack needs to get tape of this game from JJ. Navy used a 3 man line and rushed 3 for the most part.
one more thing.
the Warriors did play as a team. I felt they played hard and tried hard.
all of us at Cronies Bar and Grill were feeling good for our team, at least through the beginning of the 3rd, maybe even into the 4th.
our coaches can do better. do better, coaches!
good job, team. keep trying.
kekoa….didn’t he reach that 3k milestone?
isn’t another tsaiko supposed to follow suit?
Mack needs to take hold of the defensive reigns,I predict with Mack’s Recruiting Hawaii will have a top 10 Defense in either the Fourth or last year of his contract.
If anyone signed up for Oceanic iPhone app, it looks like they will be televising the Cambell – Kailua game live tonight on the iPhone.
wafan,
oh, thats what it was? i thought that was a pick up line. 😀
had me quivering. 😆
losing is contagious. ask UTenn, Titans, Lions, Redskins, Rams, Warriors. 😀
at least i can smile, hope for the future. truthfully, i’d like to hope the receiving corps will show more confidence in Moniz, and Moniz be more zippy and accurate with the receivers. and if he’s not da bestest butta man, bring up da reserve!
bustunna 2002……welcome to my island.
and receivers, running backs,
HOW COME YOU NOT USING DA JUGS?!?!?!
SURE DOES NOT LOOK LIKE YOU USING DA JUGS ALOT.
8 YARDS FROM THE MACHINE, SIDEWAYS, BY YOUR FACE, IN FRONT, OUTSTRETCHED.
WAT GOOD IS DA JUGS IF YOU NO USE EM???????? ?????

And by the way, GOOD JOB SIR!
NO WORRIES, DOC. EACH IN OUR OWN TIME AND IN OUR OWN WAY. YOU DO PLENNY COMMUNITY SERVICE. KEEP IT UP.
KEKOA,
you sure looked like you were having fun playing wit da hair. 😀
wish i wuz there. 😀
I just hope Mac can maintain his health. The season is taking a toll on him. He look really looked tired warn out this game. Dont stress! Just play through this madness. It does turn around.
Momo and Mrs. Momo are at the volleyball game–I’m sure that there are a lot of Tsaikos also there.
We left for Legoland once the game was over so that my kids could do their once-a-year nighttime trick-or-treating there. Seeing them all dressed up and happy was a nice way to help forget about the game…but then I caught up with the blog and saw the news about Bradley and I’m depressed again.
Postmanke,
you right about that. it does turn around.
and Coach, couple suggestion:
S t e p a w a y f r o m d a r e e f r i g e r a t o r. 😀
at this level, food is a reward. do what you must to make your mind strong! everybody is counting on you. Hawaii is counting on you!
And the truth is, you can do it. Yes you can!
Link to the game book for the game. This has all the stats and goes over each drive play by play to show the result of each play. It is a 12-page pdf, so be prepared for the download if you click on my name.
I cannot wait till next Saturday, I’m gonna be right on top of the tunnel, make eye contact with Coach, let him know that I’m backin McMackin!
And our Warriors. All of them.
Just gotta remind them of the facts of life:
you gotta do what you must!
Seeing the defense struggle so much has to be bugging Mac, so I agree with postmanke’s #483. Mac waited so long to be in charge of a D-IA program and now he’s got to wait for things to turn. If recruiting continues to go well, things will get better over time.
Here is Idaho’s story about the game with some quotes from Idaho’s side.
Here is UH’s story about the game. The quotes aren’t up yet–they might get those up in an hour or so.
Tsai-kos lookin mighty fine on TV tonight. If chawan_cut no get, I may be able to make a utube laters from channel 4 and 8 news.
Today was homecoming for Oklahoma State’s football team. They played at Boone Pickens Stadium…but T. Boone Pickens and his wife were at the SMU game instead of the Oklahoma State game. That is the first time Pickens missed an Oklahoma State home game in years, and this was homecoming!
I wish there was some link for UH to get T. Boone Pickens to go to a game at Aloha Stadium…or for some other billionaire to take an interest in Warrior football.

Time for bed.
Definitely need my beauty rest.
Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
See everyone on Sunday — with the 1000th win.
Wondering if UNLV hangs on to Sanford for a few more games? I wonder if he will be the first coach to be relieved of his duties in 2009? With John Gruden already linked to Louisville, will UNLV/ boosters make a push for Gruden? Far far fetched.. but ya never know.
wow Campbell just had a 9 yd punt. Kailua leading 14 – 0.
There is so much I want to say about that game. Maybe I’ll wait til the morning after my head has cleared a little.
2 games to go Dave.
3rd quarter scoring this season:
UH 0, Idaho 7
UH 0, Fresno State 14
UH 0, La Tech 14
UH 0, UNLV 7
UH 0, Washington State 7
UH has not scored a single point in the 3rd quarter against D-IA teams this season! That comes out to opponents 49, UH 0…and the 3rd quarter was even cited by Mac as the reason for the loss against UNLV. Today’s game was close at halftime and UH could have won the game with a strong 3rd quarter.
Whatever adjustments are being made at halftime just don’t seem to be effective…though the adjustments the opponents are making seem to work better. I had a feeling that the 3rd quarter scoring wasn’t good this season so I looked things up and was surprised at 49-0. To me, this is the most overlooked stat this season.
49-0. Five games against D-IA competition, 0 points in the third quarter. Maybe I’m making too much of this, but that stat kind of sticks out to me. This is especially notable to me because Mac always defers the kickoff and chooses for UH to get the ball first in the third quarter. Obviously, UH hasn’t done anything with their first drives after halftime.
postmanke,
Regarding #494, if it was up to me I’d let Pickens put up wind farms in a bunch of places in Hawaii if it would lead to some huge investments in Hawaii’s energy situation (and a lot of people in Hawaii would get jobs with wind energy) and donations to UH.
Wafan. I may be able to lend you a look.
NMSU is fighting back and leads in the 2nd game 15-8.

@531.LIKE THIS!
THANKS
What I’m about to say will probably not be “liked” by some or most. It is my opinion and nothing else. First, I will always support the Warriors. I grew up going to UH games and will always be a fan. I just feel the need to speak my mind after todays game.
As far as the offense goes, it’s about as good as it’s gonna get this season. Moniz is a good enough QB to run the offense. While the receivers are doing a good job most of the time, there are too many dropped passes. The offensive line still needs to work harder. It’s too bad that they are on their 3rd right tackle of the season. If there is one thing that Moniz needed to work on this game it was recognizing the blitz.
The game management at the end of the 1st half was horrible, even without that last timeout debacle. With the type of offense Hawaii runs, there should be no reason to use all those timeouts. It’s obvious they have a 2 minute offense, as seen at the end of the 4th quarter. Why they were not running it at the end of the half, I have no idea.
The only real problem I saw with the special teams was the 2 kickoffs that went OB. I had no problem with the fake FG. People have a problem with it because it didn’t score. If they had gotten into the end zone people would have thought it was the best play ever. Had LWJ not hesitated after catching the ball or had he caught the ball in stride he would have scored.
Coach Mack needs to get more involved with the defensive game planning if he’s not involved. Running the D is his specialty. It’s what he is good at. I am in no way saying that Mack should not be the head coach, but he needs to do a little more with the D. If Cal Lee has full control of the D, then that is the problem. Idaho was not running a complicated offensive scheme. Most of it was zone blocking with a pulling guard. Mack also needs to get a mean streak. During the game I saw him talking to the D, but it didn’t seem like he was very fired up about it. It’s great to be a nice guy, but I feel needs to turn it up at game time. The D needs to turn up the heat the rest of the season to do something. There is nothing to lose at this point. Start bringing it. I don’t think they got close to Idaho’s QB all night. Something definitely needs to happen with the defense soon or there will not be another win.
Once again these are my own opinions and don’t expect everyone to agree with them, but I felt the need to express them for once.
iPhone cap lock:
Double tap the Shift key quickly.
duffer- that is qewl… thanks for asking!
CRW- know that flight like an old friend…
NMSU is solving UH – 22-19
CRW,
you are correct in that assumption. they will be on that flight
Alright Wahine!!
One more game!
Third game is exciting- some subs and UH wins 25-21
Howzit Everybody,
Garret #512,
Those statistics are totally disturbing and is a very big problem especially when you are going to defer the kick-off until the second half. This is just one of many things that needs to be worked on the rest of the season and should be taken care of going into next year.
After looking at the replay of the game, it appears the offense tackles are not solely to blame for the breakdown in protection. The defense tackles are pushing our center and guards into the face of Moniz making it impossible for him to step up into the pocket. In other words our entire O-line needs work.
RUBBERBANDMAN IS BACK!!!
Hey- was that Jori Jasper???
djmitcho- that was a short nap 🙂
Good points.
I look at this as a rebuilding year. No expectations except improvement. One thing that was nice was the silent count and relatively smooth starts in spite of the LOUD CROWD.
Nice long, ugly rally won by HI!
6-3 Wahine
I gotta get more phiten dots… these shoulders are… ARRRGH!!!
AWESOME RALLY!!! 9-3
Wish I was in the SSC. Good defense.
djmitcho,
No doubt. Those points you made are definitely things we need to work on. Without putting blame on one person or without calling for Mac’s head, what you said I think everyone can pretty much agree with.
No problems here just go old constructive criticism. Gotta have it sometimes.
NMSU is unraveling a bit – 14-7
What I will say after this game is we will probably be out of contention for the Hawaii Bowl, which to me is little hard to swallow. But what I will say to the boyz is to continue to get better and continue to work hard because win or lose us Tsaiko’s will continue to be there at each and every home game. Also after watching this game I saw some go things from Moniz. Things that made me think that we got something special. I am not going to say another Colt but you just got a feeling that he just has that little something.
I am very much looking forward to see what we are in for for the rest of the year because it will give me a better since of what type of team we will have next year. With the addition Tuipolutu (sp?) and a healthy Hafoka I look forward to what these guyz can bring up front.
Just gotta enjoy the ride. =)
17-7
kama krab – agreed. djmitcho brings up what I couldn’t put my finger on during the game- Coach Mack is not able to do what he does best- run the defense with his full attention.
I’m sure the film will reveal a lot and I’m looking forward to seeing how they adjust to new personnel and situations next week.
5 points away from 1000 wins.
kama krab- I said it out loud this afternoon. MONIZ is SPECIAL. Colt Special.
MATCH POINT
25-8
1K!
It’s loud in the Stanley!
Congrats, Dave!
9,293 tickets issued tonight!

Special video presentation.
Way to Shoji! A historical event indeed!
1,000 Wins and counting!!
Craziness at the SSC! Just watched a video with congratulations from Shoji’s kids, among others.
There’s cake!
Congratulations Coach Shoji!
Congrats to Shoji!!
Is that a TV? Yes!
Coach Shoji recognizes EVERYONE!!!
Just walked by bulk of the players in terminal 1 Las vegas. Bid them good luck on the remainder of the season. Tired but upbeat group of young men.
I don’t know but it seems to me like UH was going backwards on 2nd down. Still I like the way Bryant plays. As you can see the bugga can run when he has to. I think the offense is starting to get there. This was a really good second game for our qb.
I just want to say take care and get better Rodney Bradley. Your loss was greater than this game.
Nice tribute to Coach Shoji on K5
Postmanke- awesome! Thanks for being there for all of us!!!!
It’s been a great night here at the SSC. Hope it was as exciting watching at home as it was being here. Congrats Coach Shoji!!!
Jason- MAGICAL!
Dave Shoji… class act.. outstanding coach! Congratulations!
😳
Coach Shoji is truly amazing! 😎
d1- congrats ‘Cats!
There are just a few things that need to be said, so I can sleep better tonight,
We all had very high hopes obviously, that’s our job as fans, but now, as reality starts to sink in, we have to look at what we have very realistically.
What we have is really not that bad, look closely.
2008 we were lucky to make the Hawaii Bowl, our entire offense was gone and no QB or other back-ups of note, were ready to play. To top it all off, a brand new coaching staff, etc, and a killer schedule.
2009, onother tough schedule and this time our entire starting defense was gone, yet, we seemed to have some good talent. Then the injury bug started to hit us with a vengeance, especially to key players.
We started the year with great promise, the offense looked good and the defense was adequate and the excitement started to build somewhat.
Then the karma changed on a dime, as it so often does. A lousy one point loss to Vegas, that should have been ours, could have been chalked off as bad luck, but then came the real doozy.
The monstrous travel was bad enough in itself, but then came personal tragedy in the form of real disaster in Samoa, hugely personal to many of our players and we got blown out. Woopdedoo, what a minor thing, when you suddenly don’t know the fade of your loved ones, or worse, you do know.
All the while the injuries kept going and taking their toll.
Yet, despite all this, I saw a team today, that didn’t quit, I saw a team that kept their pride and kept on playing for us, and therein lies my encouragement.
I don’t know many teams, given the same circumstances, who wouldn’t have crumbled completely. I’m calling on my fellow fans, that it won’t be us that does the crumbling, but keep hanging in there with our young Warriors in full support.
The future looks bright, it always looks darkest just before the dawn. I seem to recall a Warrior team awile back,everybody had given up on for a bowl game, but then they won their final five games, including the impossible by beating Northwestern and Michigan State back to back.
My fellow Tsaikos, all we can do now, is to back-up our young Warriors with our hearts and emotions, a small price really, when you compare it to the players sarifices. It is easy to be a fan when the team is up, but love proves itself in the down times.
Just as the players have to earn their greatness as a team, so do we as fans. Are we ready to earn ourselves a great team? It will not be acclomlished with weekly which hunts for the caches heads, since that won’t happen anyway, or fans insulting each other, but the BELIEVE we actually had in 2006 and 2007.
The pay-off will come in 2010, are we ready to earn ourselves a great team by then?
Florida Ted- beautifully-said
I love Postmanke’s observation – tired but upbeat players.
Next Saturday will be awesome-
GO WARRIORS!!!
Nitey Nite Ka Kou!
I’m with ya, Florida Ted!
Just got back from Majestic Maaaaaaaanoa and what a night!!! WHAT A NIGHT!!!!
The reports on the tickets issues is NO LIE. I haven’t seen the SSC that packed to the rafters since the 2005 Michigan State basketball game.
The SSC was loud, the Wahine looked a little nervous and their play showed it, but to know that you are about to cement history on that night can be nerve-racking.
Props to NMSU though for giving us decent competition which just added to the atmosphere.
RUBBERBAND MAN MADE SEVERAL APPEARANCES!!! Me and my friends had EXCELLENT seats in the lower bowl right behind the Wahine bench along side the tunnel on the student section side. Da RUBBERBAND MAN STILL GOT IT!!!!
I felt it all tonight. I was not there for the past years, but I felt I was in the presence of volleyball royalty with regards to the milestone win and the fan experience at such a massive level.
The sheer volume inside the SSC tonight was overwhelming and it was surreal to see the streamers and confetti falling with over 9,500 going NUTS and Coach Shoji being bombarded by his team.
Tonight they truly did it for Coach Shoji and the joy on their faces said it all. It wasn’t a win just for a win in conference play, but a win for a coaching icon in Hawaii.
They say things happen for a reason, no matter how odd or bad, and LaTech being unable to travel resulting in all the right pieces falling together on a weekend night against our best conference opponent was the best thing that could of happened.
I’m not going to lie… There was a sense that the non-pure volleyball fans showed up tonight to feel good about something and it showed. NMSU provided some scary moments for our Wahine. In the back of our minds we knew we had the talent to overcome whatever they threw at us, but still… ya know… 😉
The REAL loyal fans of all UH athletics deserved to end the day on a good note, but I think we really all left the SSC with more than just a “good feeling”.
Занятно пишете, жизненно. Все-таки, для того, чтобы делать по-настоящему интересный блог, нужно не едва сообщать о чем-то, но и делать это в интересной форме
Depends on how you hit your head. When I actually played sports a long time ago long long long time ago, you’d get knocked so hard you get a funny sensation and taste in your nose and top of your mouth.
congrats to #1000 Coach Shoji!!!!!!!
re: the team playing with emotion and passion etc etc etc….
first of all i think its quite difficult to gauge someone playing with all their heart, or not giving up etc barring anything obvious. I haven’t personally seen any point in this season where i could say the team gave up (if they did it wasn’t obvious) or where they played with all their hearts (unfortunately i cannot read minds and football is emotional and energy packed to begin with). Its not to say they did or didnt but its a personal feeling that i think only the players themselves can own up to imo and not for me to judge, oh u gave up on us or you played ur tail off etc.
i don’t know how many of you listened to the 1420 post game show with Bobby and Robert but Kazz made reference to it already.
Robert basically said that when one of the coaches (not sure if it was Mac or someone else) went up to a group of players (defense i believe) and asked who is ready to lead, make the key play etc…and ONE (1) player raised their hand….
I don’t know if Robert was being facetious or not but I heard the comment and Bobby responded by saying how unsettling that was.
On one hand I hear that we played with passion and heart etc etc which is all very beautiful to say and think, yet what was said in the post game of the team mentality at the time seems to be a contradiction.
Did anyone hear anything further on that issue? What are the possible problems? If I can get to the Na Koa luncheon I will be sure to bring this point up.
During the live game, I thought nothing of Keo’s diving tackle on Bradley that caused the injury.
Now just saw the replay and I’m not so sure…
Whatever Keo says is what he claims… Deep down only he knows the truth. So he’ll deal with it.
Karma sucks. Those on the bad end of it will find out soon enough. 😎
To all Warrior linebackers and DBs,
If a referee is in between you and the opposing WR or HB and you’re about to make contact with him, JUST MAKE SURE WHEN IT’S OVER, HE WON’T BE GETTING BACK UP!!!! 😈
adding to #582
My immediate thought would be that its human nature to feel down and out when the performance of your team is not up to what one expects.
I really believe its time that we get behind the team especially the defense to ask them to work harder in ever aspect of their practice and give 1% more above what they gave the week before.
There is only so much kicking someone can take before they do in fact give up. So lets hope the coaches show them tough compassionate love and us fans show up at the next game to back the team up.
go warriors!
for the warriors….just replace GT with Hawaii Warriors haha….great speech though!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK5cTFHc_9E&feature=related
“We gonna fight, till we cant fight no more, when we can fight no more, we gonna lay down and bleeeeeed a while…….then we gonna get up! and FIGHT SOME MORE!”
GO Warriors!
Shame on you Ms Liz
Stephen:
Remember Natasha Richardson? She died after hitting her head on the ski slope & she didn’t feel bad until she was ‘home’ (or whereever she was staying). I hope you went to get checked out at the ER before getting on a plane to come home.
Just got through recording the game on DVD. Will have to take some time later to go over it.
Hope Rodney is doing ok.
GO WARRIORS!!!
Patrons at a bar that I was at in Kalihi were laughing every time Idaho scored. So I just sat along with them, drinking the beers faster than I should, and it got to a point where I was laughing, too, more at listening to their comments during the game.
First of all, I can’t dispute what they were seeing and what they were saying regarding Hawaii’s play on the field.
“Our guys are slow. Our guys are fat. Our guys are out of condition. Our coaches are out coached,” said this one old guy at the bar.
To all the others at the bar, including myself, we were all probably in silent agreement to what that one person was saying.
“OMG you call that pass defense in referring to the LB play dropping back into coverage,” said a another one.
Yeah, he was right, too, I was thinking. And as I was gobbling more food and beers down in (I guess) relieving the pain of watching the Warriors getting beat.
It was ugly. It was funny. It was sad.
And when one of the bar girls, who had been serving us during the game, had asked how Hawaii was doing at the end of the game she got big laugh, too.
But not as big of a laugh Coach Mack got for that boner at the end of the game. Again. Even the television analyst was shaking his head and questioning why the Hawaii coach was taking the penalty yardage in lieu of giving Idaho another down.
But it’s okay. Given the choice of exiling to totto’s island, and away from this misery–I’ll stick with this. Hawaii’s home.
i can agree with our players either being slow or every team we have played being really fast.
a fellow Tsaiko and I noticed in todays game that the Idaho’s receivers were beating out our DB’s by 3-4 yards maybe even more at times whenever they threw deep (and when they did show it on TV).
Good morning Tsaikos…
Prayers for a speedy recovery for Mr. Bradley.

Что ж… и таковое мнение допустимо. Хотя, думаю, возможны и другие варианты, так что не огорчайтесь.
Good morning Tsaikos everywhere.
regarding all the comments about yesterday’s game, cannot disagree with a one of you.
me, as a Warrior fan, I can say this:
“gonna yell, till i cannot yell no mo. gonna scream, till i cannot scream no mo. and when i cannot yell an scream, i’m gonna sit down and drink, and drink, and den i’m gonna get up, and yell samoa.”
dare, i feel betta already….
Rodney Bradley,
tough losing you for the rest of the season, Warrior!
Prayers to you for a speedy recovery. But there is a
silver lining in your life. Keep your grades up!
good job chawan_cut. thanks for the videos.
Stretch,
that was a real good one!
seventh century 😀
i saw a few defensive linemen looking banged up during the game.
but they kept fighting. Proud of our Warriors. hang tough, men, hang tough.
Good Morning Tsaiko Nation, All I can say is to “HANG IN THERE” as it is going to be a long season. I am going to get this off my chest as I feel you good folks know what I can do “TO HELP” !
First and foremost the Al Wooten Center is in the hub city of ALL the local major High schools in the South Bay and South Central Los Angeles area. At the Center we are running a College Trak program run by an AWESOME 21 year old graduate from Boston College who is tutoring students on SAT preperation. Pete Carrol has 3 incoming freshmen from Washington Prep H.S. enrolled in our SAT prep program. We need the statistics as fee waivers are being used or Pete got ALUMNI to take care of ANY cost. Washington H.S. is just 8 minutes away from my Center.
I wear my Hawaii attire almost everyday and when I do I am ALWAYS approached by HS students am I a coach for Hawaii or what affiliation do I have with them ? my answer is many but the point that I am making I got some GREAT young H.S. talent in the area that I work and live as I am SO CONFIDENT I can get to play and sign to Hawaii.
I have schools as Inglewood, Hawthorne, Leuzinger, Serra, Gardena, El Segundo, North, West and South Torrance H.S. that are just DYING for some Ohana and with my athletic background history and living among you GREAT folks they will be ready to adapt to the culture, food and life style of the Hawaiian Islands.
In South Central Washington Prep BUT a small school H.S. just open up just 8 minutes away from my Center. Amino Charter with about 400 students and a football team just started with some HS talent that is unknown as I have seen talented samoan and african american angelino’s have size, quickness and GREAT speed as they practice at Henry Clay Middle School in which I pick-up 2 of my students from there to attend the Center. Pete and Rick don’t know NOTHING about this school existing.
Morningside H.S; Dorsey, Manual Arts, Compton, Centennial, Fremont are ALL in my domain with TALENTED players you would not believe waiting for “BIG KAHUNA RAINBOW CLIFF” to get them ready for PARADISE !
The SAD part to all of this is Coach Mack won’t recruit mainland H.S. athletes as he just want athletes with “polynesian background or have a relationship to Hawaii”. When I heard this ridiculous statement I just became so flustered as I said to myself I came to Hawaii and I had no polynesian or Hawaii link background with MANY other LA athletes that played for Hawaii. Ricki Bass, Dewayne Jett, Dana McClemore, Mike Stennis, Karl Kennybrew, Chris Roscoe, Keith Hill, Gary Allen and the BEST of them ALL Cliff Sanchez. NEED I SAY MORE !
You BUILD your program with FRESHMEN and I am around the GOLDEN POT of it all here in Los Angeles. I have offered my services (FREE) on many occasion to reliable sources but I am hearing that I am a violation, I am not a coach and ANY involvement with scouting or recruiting would put the program in NCAA infractions.
In closing I have TRIED to really help my Hawaii athletic teams. I live in LA so there is NO need to send ANY coaches as I am right here. Have a BEAUTIFUL 4 door sedan with Jack helmet Hawaii attenna ball and Warrior license plate holder showing the OHANA everyday !
I know for a fact I can GO into Pete Carrol’s and Rick Neuheisel back yard and become “THE SILENT MAHI MAHI” and bring you good folks some GREAT young freshmen talent with athletic and academic skills.
But everytime the DOOR GET’S SHUT IN MY FACE as I finally let you folks know on this blog on what I am prepared to do to make Hawaii into a POWERHOUSE !
I am confident, I know the parents as teachers hold me in high regard and guidance counselors love the aura of this good looking BODINKEE talking credits, gpa and sat testing. H.S. Coaches work out with me at Magic Johnson 24 hour fitness and LOVE me keeping them in shape as I am known in Magics Gym “The 51 year old Rainbow Legend”
Have a GREAT morning as I tried good folks to really help you. I am off to play my tennis, work out at magic’s and re-visit one of my former players that I coached in Redondo Beach who with other players are scheduling a pre-ceremony gathering in honor of my 17 years at Wooten. The fruits of my labor have grown and want to show homage as I am blessed and honored. Any comment you folks leave to this message I will read later. Aloha ! RainbowCliff.
Hey…Even JJ went 3-9 in his 2nd year…but he also went 9-4 and beat OSU in the Oahu Bowl his 1st year… 🙁
#591 that was a good read… I wish I could have been there instead of watching the game on gameplan, in the closet and in SC country.
RC, I’m sure that you could help out quite a bit, especially given the amount of football talent in your area along with your rep that you have. However, it is my understanding that there are NCAA issues that would pop up esp. with you being an alum and trying to recruit athletes. However, it would be great if the coaching staff would respond to your offer to help, even if it is just establishing a relationship with some of the coaches that you are close with in LA.
@c_c………..
Mahalo for the video, wish I was there! 🙂
Good Morning Tsai-kos!
Hope ST’s bump on the head is minor. How do you slam the trunk on your head?
GO WARRIORS!
Good Sunday morning to everyone!
Thanks, c_c, for the links to the news and other stuff.
Looking good!
Prayers and positive thoughts for all of the injured Warriors.
Great Morning All!
I’m sure wafan will concur that the sun has, in fact, arisen once again.
Off for a day trip to the coast. Have a terrific day erryboddy!
Keep in mind that even the best second-guessing is still only guessing….
d1 . . .
Hard to tell with all the clouds.
Aloha Kakahiaka…
So great to have this place to express our feelings.
First, thoughts of healing, recovery and peace to not only Rodney Bradley (love his game), but to GA, Aaron Brown, Brashton, Pollard, Hafoka, and all the others who are not playing because they have pushed their bodies to the limit…Mahalo to you all.
Although losses are hard, and injuries harder, I can’t help but feel that this season is not “over”. Call me crazy, but I don’t think the Hawai’i Bowl is out of reach. Boise’s great, but they have not been playing well over the past several weeks. They have shown signs of vulnerability against UC Davis and Tulsa. Me thinks fatigue may be setting in and I think the Karma of their game against Oregon where their player (and fans) was caught trash talking before getting punched will come back to bite them. Our Defense always plays to their potential at home, and with Moniz feeling the offense…it is not an impossible win. So why not shock the college football world and kick their a….!!!
I believe our guys can do it.
San Jose, USU, and NMS are winnable. Navy struggled against SMU, and Wisconsin lost at home yesterday. Hard, but not impossible. One game at a time – with the Broncos next week.
Go Warriors!
