The Warriors missed defensive end Fetaiagogo Fonoti, who sat out because of a bruised left kneecap. But resting him was wise, and the Warriors are hopeful he will be available to play in the upcoming two-game road trip to Seattle and Vegas.
* * * * *
It’s been a tough past week for former UH players. Ashley Lelie, Kynan Forney, C.J. Hawthorne, Josh Leonard, Jameel Dowling, Solomon Elimimian and Melila Purcell III.
With the high salaries, there just aren’t very many openings in the NFL.
Some will get other chances. Some will move on to the next phase of their lives. Too often in the business of football we forget that the participants are real people with real lives. Hawthorne has two children. Leonard has a son. Dowling’s girlfriend is expecting the couple’s first child. Purcell is engaged.
We wish them all the best in their future endeavors.

Donovan Raiola was signed to the Bears’ practice squad. That means he will be mentored by Olin Kreutz.

smart move in resting Fonoti.
Sure need him for the upcoming games.

Yeah that was a tough first game.
Warriors pulled it out – congrats.

ST: We’ve covered this before.
What’s the story on Joseph Napeahi ?
I think that he is on campus; but he is not on the team.
You mentioned that he had a weight problem; is that still the case.
The team could sure use another big body; and he has 2-years JC experience.

ST, what are the chances that Fonoti, Brown, and Purcell play on Sat?
Brought over from yesterday’s blog
With respect to the PAT issue late in the 4th quarter – if this novice football fan can raise the issue prior to the lineup, then it should be obvious to the people actually down on the field.
Also, the defense stepped up very impressively – now if only the offensive line could do the same, then we’ll be able to watch some good plays. And this novice fan was quite impressed with Alexander’s ability to change tactics about throwing v. running right on the go.
Question: Are Greg Alexander and Jared Alexander related? I don’t have access to an old baseball program to check out the latter’s high school.
Re the Old Futs leaving the game before it’s over:It happens at all the games no matter which sport and whether UH is winning or losing. At the on-campus games/matches, people leave to get a head start on traffic which usually clears out in 15or 20 minutes no matter what. The Aloha Stadium crowds are hoping that the same thing will happen there, but usually it doesn’t make any difference whether you leave five minutes into the 4th quarter or stay around to sing the Fostering Mother.
When we left the after-game T-Gate at 11:30 pm the other night heading towards H-3, the Blue Lights were still directing traffic out of the Stadium parking lot.
UPDATE PLEASE ON MY NICKELBACK! I’m hearing two very different injuries.
Who is the person referred to in #234?
Time to go count bottles & cans and then head into town for the last two volleyball matches.
Will be dropping off a check at the Na Koa luncheon tomorrow.
I don’t see reagan m name on the list. Did some team pick him up?

You’re welcome. (assuming I remember!)
See you at the lunch tomorrow!
Good luck to all of the former Warriors who were cut. Those who need to, come home & finish your degree. Sharing your experience would probably be appreciated by the team.
Get well wishes to all who are banged up.

thanks
#25
When I wrote in #234 was mere speculation as to why the Warriors are waiting this long in naming a GA (for the WR). But to me it would make sense, too, if the UH staff was biding it’s time to see if one of the former Warriors not making onto a NFL roster this year was available to come back to the school and coach. I’d think if lelie was interested he’d probably get the job.
I want to be a Waikoloa Warrior.
CRW . . .
Nothing really planned for Friday night or pre-game on Saturday.
Well, maybe if I can get up to the hotel fast enough and contact Koakane we might have dinner up in the Seattle area on Friday night.
As far as pre-game on Saturday parking may be an issue so getting there early enoughand finding something to do/eat will be the issue. Quite a few sports bars in the area — do not know about food quality, though. May choose to eat lunch then make the trek to Qwest Field.
Would you please send me your cell phone number?
I want to be a Waikoloa Warrior. Mahalo.
ahem,
this past game was a big learning lesson for our team. especially our coaches. i EXPECT big time improvement in our coaches. BIG TIME!
for example, whoze decision was to run the PAT before changing to da 2 point attempt?
now we all know. and all coaches know we know. the truth is a novice,
CAPITOL-ist, knew before the coaches.
stop being scaredy cats, coaches. not talking about da new guyz. talking about da coaches who’ve been here 2 years and more.
come on coaches, you can do it. show some innnovation, show some confidence in yourselfs. no scared! we gonna yell at ya, but no doubt about it, we LOVE ya. you’re us. you represent us. so no make us look bad. not in the Northwest. not against WASSU. NO SIR.
wat, you need a 8′ sign? 😀

Gonna try not to eat too much today. Easier said than done. Keed wants to go eat ramen. Tomorrow is Mom’s bday party with a 7-course Chinese feast and dessert.
WassupDoc,
I don’t think that any person in particular was being referred to. One thing to keep in mind is that a Graduate Assistant has to be admitted and attending graduate school…school started awhile ago and it is quite late for admissions, so I don’t see how a person who was trying to make an NFL roster could fill out an application and get admitted in time for this football season.
UH cannot just hire someone like a regular coaching position so they may just end up with being a GA short unless Mac already chose someone and he’s already been admitted to UH’s graduate school. I would say this was a cost cutting measure but GA’s make *very* little money.
I don’t think that I’ve ever read that Greg Alexander and Jared Alexander were related.
labrat:
Probably a tentative travel list Tuesday night.
There will be a final one Wednesday morning. But wait. Don’t they leave Wednesday? Yep. Sometimes that’s how they do it. It’s going to be close on a couple of players.
naming / hiring a GA for wide receivers.
In order to be hired as a GA, one must have a degree,
AND be enrolled as a graduate student in this Fall semester.
I think it’s too late to enroll; so that eliminates the late NFL cuts.
That’s what I think the process is.
For the next week and a half we have friends staying at our house (with 3 or 4 days of overlap between families), so I’ll be mostly off blog until after the UNLV game. I’m not going to be able to post articles here much, so it would be great if others could post articles about Washington State and UNLV…
Couldn’t these guys that were cut.. “volunteer” their services? Put a notch onto their “experience” belt and get a leg up should they ever decide to apply somewhere?
I want to be a Waikoloa Warrior.
I agree with ST that it was wise to have Fonoti sit out this game–hopefully he’s recovered in time for the Washington State game.
ai-eee-soos:
Unfortunately, there weren’t a lot of roster openings.
There might even be a backlog, with all of the transfers.

Good morning all!
GO Warriors!!!
Just called the Willows about Na Koa lunch tomorrow. So far don’t need reservations but will be crowded because of holiday and QB Club members combining their lunch with Na Koa –sj
I want to be a Waikoloa Warrior
made in hawaii:
Unfortunately, there are a couple of limits:
1. Locker space (which also equates to equipment, uniforms, etc.)
2. Gender equity. (Again, it isn’t about having exactly equal numbers. It’s about progress toward equitable opportunities.)
madeinhawaii,
There are NCAA rules limiting the number of coaches. This actually helps UH because big-budget schools could have zillions of coaches if they wanted. There is a fine line between student assistants and coaches, but if someone wanted to list coaching experience on their resume while a “volunteer”, UH would get hit with an NCAA violation.
Royvic,
I think Tsai has previously mentioned that Lelie is not eligible to be a GA, by which I am guessing he has not completed his undergrad degree. Did CJ graduate?
UH isn’t going to fill Stutzmann’s vacated GA spot.
It’s too late.
I want to be a Waikoloa Warrior.
CJ graduated.
But he was so close to making the team — and he still has a shot at the practice squad — that it’s better to remain on the Mainland.
I want to be a Waikoloa Warrior.
Good day to all!
Garret,
But since UH is one short of the maximum allowable, does it still matter if one came in as a volunteer coach?
Garret,
Nevermine.. Graduate Assistant isn’t classified as a “coach”, yet… I suppose.
Was at the WVB game last night against Texas… with a lineup of 8 players 6-2 to 6-5, Texas was intimidating at the net…Wahine have 4 players…Crowd of 8000+ was loudest during the intermission game…could have used that sustained noise level during every Texas serve, of which there were many…Thanks to UH Athletics and JD for fair reasonable prices-tickets, food, drinks. Family of 4 had an enjoyable time!
Greg Alexander’s intinct to scramble was spot on.
Who can blame him?
What he did was make things happen on a night when it wasnt goin and he moved the ball….turnovers hurt us–not Alexanders scramblin….I believe his last possession 4th quarter pass to Greg Sallas in open space was bc of his scramblin and the bears were spying on him close to the line of scrimmage.
His OL is the same OL that set the D1A record for sacks in 2008 and Alexander felt it the most. Thankfully, Greg has adapted a mental clock in 2009, which is good, and he instinctly feels the pressure….he also showed good judgement and threw the ball away under pressure.
Another thing, Alexander, adjusted in the pocket, moved and continued his progressions in hopes that certain zones would clear. Many times he was successful in launching a completion after he broke from the pocket. In 2005 and 2006 Colt did the same with success–the difference is the routes schemes created by JJ which are different and more simple than MAC’s in terms of flooding particular zones based on man or D alignments. Also, CB obviousily had a quicker release than Greg, but not more guts.
Alexander is a gamer. Period!
If Ferd Lewis wants to point a finger–it should be aimed at MAC and the OL he and Ron Lee praises without blinking their eyes.
Look, Greg Alexander is performing to the best of his ability and I personally see huge growth in his second year over 2008.
The winning TD pass to Bradley was perfectly timed and literally threaded a needle.
eh, Greg you did well brah, and yes, bring out your OL early so they can get extra reps in runnin. They looked tired.
I want to be a Waikoloa Warrior!
Rest up team. Time to focus on Pac10. Huu-Rah
I want to be a Waikoloa Warrior.
Sweety really wants to be a Waikaloa Warrior too!
let me get this straight stutzmen leaves 8/3 about 5 weeks ago and now we learn that UH won’t be filling the GA spot per #58. IDK about that decision by coach mack.
through my tunnel vison i thought the only explicable thing as to why the coach might be waiting this long in naming a GA was in seeing if a former warrior not making it into the nfl was available.
and now no GA..ugh..one less coach not helping with the wr
Take a look at Boise State’s and BYU’s winning TDs. They were planned passes which were set-up and engineered to perfection on execution. Both passes were to secondary receivers who were left open after a primary receiver cleared a zone. Great calls! Keep it simple stupid…
Another thing–both coaches had something in store for its winning drive. In BYUs case it was a quick count on a critical first down play in the last drive. The point being both teams were coached for contingencies and the game plan painsankingly detailed and well thought out.
wow no WR coach. that is brutal.
If a GA candidate was not already admitted to school on August 3, it would be really difficult to apply for admission, be accepted, and also be the right candidate for the job. Evaluation of applications begin on October 1 for applications for Fall 2010.
Howzit to all the gang.
Man, talk about blogging pundits out there in our cyber world. UH can’t catch a break playing a top notch 2-A team.
This was a very one-sided weekend of games with many shutouts, etc. This is only the first week of games, But why can’t football fans and writers just enjoy the season?
They want to find more fault than good. That shows me weakness on their opinion than any stronghold of intellegence and love of the sport.
Come on Warriors.

Maverick..
True.. so true…
To imagine Coach Mack as a political animal with a consipracy theory boggles my imagination.. especially for a guy who makes a slip of the tongue type statement and apologizes profusely as he did just a few weeks ago. Nah.. Coach Mac is simply .. .Coach Mac.
That PAT scenario? Isn’t the PAT team like the FG team supposed to wait on the sideline and run in as soon as the touchdown is scored and wait for the final coaches decision as to what to do? They don’t go in too often so running in and doing some mental reps before the actual snap makes sense to me.
In the end, the Coaches made the right call, albeit unsuccessfully.

Time isn’t on Colt’s side it seems, since he’ll be 27 in 2010 but with only 2 years’ NFL experience under his belt. It’s good that Zorn wants to keep him around, but Colt probably has only one preseason left before things start getting dicey. Until then, get well soon!

Made,
Yahoo Sports News also said yesterday that Colt Brennan would be cut later that day (Saturday)…
Oh sorry I didn’t realize that if you didn’t put down this coaching staff or players that you shouldn’t say anything. Too bad.
I may be wrong but I don’t recall BC saying very many positive thing about the team or the coaches, but he sure is one of the first to point out a mistake, same goes for a lot of posters here on the blog. I have seen many of times even the Pro coaches make the same mistake an have to call a time out to get their heads together during a pressure situation.
Point is that the old expression is true, it’s easier to tear something down than build something up, but sorry I just won’t tear them down, IMHO my job as a fan is to support them not tear them down, that is if I am allowed to express my opinion.

#110-pomai
yeah, yeah go sit with pomai. he makes aspersions, like BC doesn’t know squat and other observers don’t know squat so im guessing he too has a lot of credibility of the knowledge of what he knows
just to prove how little you know pomai—BC and the coach mack are good friends. On his show BC has mentioned that he and his family often visited with the coach.
When BC alluded to the mistake the coach made it had very little of him wanting to tear down the coach. But more of begging the question of hoping the coaches get their act together on the sideline (during the PAT attempt and other times, too).
That’s the same with other writers and posters.
thanks to LizKauai for the link to the radio interview…
damn CUs DL is getting hammered. gotta love having the advantage in the trenches, makes everything else easier.
Glad to hear that C.J. made the Bills practice squad again. But disappointed that Ikaika Alama-Francis got cut. Then again, it doesn’t surprise me too much, it is a different coaching regime.

Good Morning Tsaikos!!
I want to be a Waikoloa Warrior!!
Don’t need the VBall tickets since I will be on my way to Seattle.
wait what? hawaii is at -6
i want to be a waikoloa warrior
Kazz ~ The problem at the Willows is – they don’t open the front entrance until 11:00 AM. So if you arrive early, all you’ve done is allowed yourself to stand there with about 30 early birds.
Then you will find the front few tables are ‘reserved’ for the special guests, and the media moguls like ST & RK.
So…get there by 11…
➡ Charge the door, runover errybody, and grab one seat! 👿
➡ Order your drink, go to the buffet table and make your plate while you still have a fresh choice. Don’t wait! You snooze you lose!
➡ Keep your registration ticket handy. They will draw the other half of it for some really great prizes. (Jason one a Jersey). 😎
➡ Don’t ask questions. There are enuff Bozo’s that insist on asking 50 questions at a time. It’s usually the same 3 guys, and then it’s “oh sorry…we’re all outta time!”
I want to be a Waikoloa Warrior.
I see the Warriors currently favored by 3 points over the Cougars.
That reminds me … I’ll be there tomorrow. One of the two Nā Koa meetings I’m able to attend this year.
Royvic, I think you read it wrong. It’s Hawaii -6 that means Hawaii is favored.
another site has hawaii -6. locally i think i hear -7.

I don’t agree either with just having Coach Peterson “talk” to Hout about it. He didn’t show any sportsmanship or class by taunting. Oregon’s player is gone for the whole season. Cause and effect.
What will Mr. Benson do? Fold again and support his alumni school’s solution? Probably.

#139
I just looked again at this site
http://www.vegasinsider.com/college-football/odds/las-vegas/
look down at #356
says wash st. -6
meaning UH is +6
I hear a lot of bloggers make the statement that the offensive line needs a lot of work. Can someone please explain to me what kind of work it is that they need? What specifically is it that they need to work on. Is it footwork, hand placement, punch, leverage, balance, communication, scheme, agility, quickness, pass-set, get-off, stamina, endurance, toughness, commitment, guts, aiming point, internal clock, eye placement? Maybe if we can be more specific, perhaps we could help?
royvic: The -6 is aligned with UH, not Washington State. See how some scores are aligned with the road team, some are aligned with the home team?
Oh I forgot. I don’t wanna be a Waikoloa Warrior, but wanna be in the hunt for the VB tix.

mih –
the swine flu vaccine isn’t out yet. Even when it comes out, I’m not sure college aged adults would be in the priority group. From what I’m hearing, highest priority goes to children, esp infants, caregivers of infants and health care workers and pregnant women. Other priority groups would be those with existing pulmonary problems like asthma, since this flu seems to affect the lungs more than the upper respiratory tract.
OTOH, everybody should get their regular seasonal flu vaccine. That one’s been out since last month. Keed got her’s at her annual check-up and I’m getting mine next Friday at work. Should be covered by your insurance plan. If not, change plans!
Been a loooong time since coming out of lurking status. Looking forward to seeing the team in person here in the Seattle area. Just got my tix today. Section 114!
I was very impressed with quite a bit of Warriors who were playing their first game under the lights. Great job. Was Luke Ingram long snapping? If so, I was impressed. And that punter. First college, i mean high school, i mean pop warner, i mean football game…wow, incredible job.
I mean how do you do that? First real football game, and it’s a division 1 football game in front of 30,000 people. Impressive.
Liko and Paipai, you guys both are going very far.

I wanna be a waikoloa warrior
Yes sir. Da wrap up is da key. Coach C. Lee said if can “tackle” then you can play football.
Had katooshes last night, but also had good share of ka-tinks because some people didn’t “wrap up”.
Pepa, you and the rest of the guys. While at practice, you guys are probably pass blocking for 2.5 to 3 seconds. Re-set your guys internal clocks, block everyday, every play for 4 seconds at least. Stay stout on the inside and move your feet on the outside.
Offensive tackles, you guys are probably visualizing and trying to work that outside rush end 90 degrees from the LOS. Try to think 60 degrees instead. Take your outside foot and draw a line from there to the closest flag on the goalline behind you. Work that rush end at that angle. If you get beat, then you get beat with the man going 90 degrees from the LOS, which is upfield, and you can just ride-um past the QB. Once GA gets used to it, then he’ll stay in the pocket or just step up when he feels pressure.
Most important though is to re-set the internal clock.
Watching the replay, the Wahine could have made it 2-1, but errors and whatnot.
CAL got swept by St Louis I think and we handled St. Louis well enough to put them to sleep in 4.
No more Ka-tinks dis season, all katoohes. Wrap-up.
What’s the fine for driving and texting again????
I better stop.
Kazz,
The passing was off last night for the Wahine, hard to do anything if the pass is not good. Too close to the net, overpasses. The pass gives you a chance to run your offense. They had to constantly scramble to get to the ball. I give them credit for not giving up, it shows great character, but those Texas girls were trees!
ST: Please don’t ruin this blog site with giveaway contests. At least give it to the cleverest insights or the most interesting links. I realize you need to get your numbers up but be careful not to drive the rest of us away.
On another note, enjoyed the game immensely despite the early errors. Coming back from being behind two times speaks to the character emerging in this team. Special teams seem much improved. Looking forward to Dunnachie get comfortable. I think it was Kazz who said we got more yards in this game than all last year. A bit disappointed in the running game. I hope they develop some kind of power running option for the goalline. Maybe that is another thing they are saving for the road. Impressed though with their ability to get it done through the air and the defense really stepped it up at the end.

Two years ago: Jim Donavan Paid his own airfare and had to get a ticket to the UNLV game from Rich2176, he sat in the stands with the Tsai-Ko group and inhaled 4 hot dogs in about 4 minutes.
This year: He’ll be in the AD’s box next to the press box, snorting caviar and black truffles washed down with Krystal as ST drools next door.

Thats absolutely ridiculous to pompousily tell a fan who complains to give advice to a coach who is getting paid $100,000/mo to do the job and even more ludicrous for anyone on this blog to smugly suggest so much as if the complaint about our OL lacks merit….look, u dont need to be a rocket scientist to know warrior coaching is wanton and our OL is not getting the job done unless you are so blind and abuse koolaid….fanz can make enuff noice for the athletic managerial bureaucrats to get off their lethargic rumps and hire someone WHO can do the job!

Pride..what you say makes great sense. I hope the coaches are reading.
Looking for the Warriors to get off to a faster start against Wazzu and the O-line will be key, of course. With Ron Lee’s system being a little more complicated (more options), I don’t doubt it will take a few games to make things second nature. WSU is bereft of experienced cornerbacks (academics, kolohe, injuries). Should be to UH’s benefit.
Pride – Imua – go easy bull, OL blocking versus D1AA defense needs to improve run blocking, RBs consistently stuffed at the LOS, four sacks allowed vs very average D1AA defense is reason to worry!
Everything that I know about football, the coaches know already know X 100. I was just talking to myself on the blog.
The coaches, espicially the new O-line coach already knows everything that I mentioned. All of those things are in the “Offensive Line 101” course that college linemen take as freshmen. The new O-line coach already has a masters degree in Offensive Line play and was working on his PhD in the Offensive Coordinator discipline when he was tabbed to come to Hawaii. I could see his eyes on the field and could sense that the wheels in his brains were turning when he was biting his tongue while observing the discussions that Rolo and Mac were having with Ron Lee in the booth.
I could sense that the ex-head coach Tormey was biting his tongue also. Will be interesting to see how this all works out during the season.
Kazz- Jett’s sister is a student at UH too. She was a multi-sport athlete in HS. Her name is Jori.

Wahine take it to the 5th.
I want to be a Waikoloa Warrior
Okay, going easy. Trying to be positive and encouraging.
I’ll agree with Pride at this point. He played for the Warriors as an O-lineman. He’s also a very well read student of the game. Especially on O-line play. Think about the pointers he gave. Makes sense doesn’t it?
Why do disagreements have to become ugly for some posters here? I hope that some posters realize that their opinion is just their opinion. Anyone who purports to have all the problems on the team solved from watching on the sidelines is inherently prone to error. More than anything, we should be allowed to disagree. There is always a at least a 50% chance that any opinion here might be wrong. Relax people.

I keep reading how UCA is an “average D1AA” team, or to that effect. Can I see some factual support for that? From what I read, UCA won a D1 conference championship last year and is favored again this year with a ton of returnees including the all american DE Hart. They might not be Boise, but I think we do them a disservice in dissing them without something based in reality.
I’m so far back that I am still reading Saturday’s posts; however I just dropped in to say: I want to be a Waikoloa Warrior.
BG,
UCA was picked to finish 4th this season in their conference because they lost a lot of key players after last season. They played quite a number of true freshmen against UH on Friday. UCA is not favored again this year in any of the polls I saw–4th in their conference was normal.

Garret,
4th in their conference still shows a lot of respect for their team when one considers the fact that this is only their second year in D-1aa, FCS. The seem to have a very good coaching staff and a solid roster of players.
I just looked it up and in the Southland Conference Preseason Coaches Poll, UCA was picked to finish 4th out of their 8 teams.
madeinhawaii,
I agree that UCA has a *very* good coaching staff and a good roster of players. Since they were so recently in D-II, they are playing a lot of young players…probably one reason why their head coach was concerned about their lack of poise late in the game. For those true freshmen playing in their first college game to play in front of the biggest crowd ever to watch a UCA game, that must have been an amazing experience.
One concern I saw in the comments by UCA fans is that they wondered how much longer they would be able to hold on to their head coach before a bigger school would offer him more money and a better opportunity.
By the way, Stephen F. Austin was picked 5th in the preseason Southland Conference poll and SFA played SMU very closely yesterday.
That must be an awesome class.
I want to be waikoloa warrior
Thanks Garret…now I’ll go get some salt and pepper to eat my words LOL. I will take my own advice and go over and check my facts. I had thought that they were picked middle of the pack last year and won it all. True that their QB Nathan graduated, but they were getting the transfer from Arkansas? and many returnees on offense and defense. bbl
I want to be a Waikoloa Warrior. Can’t wait for Vegas.
I want to be a Waikoloa Warrior. Go Warriors.
The Big 12 had a very good day yesterday overall–I think they went 10-1, with Oklahoma State probably having the biggest win (Georgia). However, the one team that lost was Oklahoma and they might lose their QB for a long time, and their backup QB is a freshman.
I’m not surprised that BYU beat Oklahoma because I thought that Oklahoma was overrated this year. One key to Bradford’s success last year was that he had an awesome OL…but four multi-year starters on the OL graduated so their OL is inexperienced and will take some time to get in sync. Their top receiving target (TE) also may be out for a long time due to injury.
Kudos to BYU for that win, they deserved it. If they beat Florida State at home also, they could be the first non-BCS conference team that has a shot at the BCS title. None of the other non-BCS conference teams that had BCS shots had nonconference game scheduled against such prominent teams…but it is hard for any team to run the table.
BG,
UCA did get a transfer QB from Arkansas, but he’s hurt. Missing basically their entire Fall camp and not being able to practice much even now means that he really isn’t up on their system.
UCA lost other players on offense (some just temporarily like the starting FB that missed the UH game), but they did return a LOT of talent on D–especially their key players at DE and DT.
If they run the table, BYU has a legit shot at the BCS title game, but only if they’re fellow MWC members, TCU and Utah do well also and stay in the rankings. However, I think the voters will find their reasons to keep them out of the title game.
I want to be a waikoloa warrior
evening warrior faithful lots of sharing of idea, insight and concern since friday’s game. I think this is good because this shows we have not lost interest in the team and still wishing for the better.
I wanted to wait to see what happens after the first three games before saying anything but at this point I’ll say this. Some improvements has happened on the oline. the guidance of coach shaw has made them a better unit. they are not quite there yet but there were times on friday they showed potential.
Sad to hear that the Raiders picked someone else to start at center instead of Samson.

Wahine Volleyball lose to Cal in five.
I agree with BG. UCA was a very good ball team. They reminded me of the Weber State team that came into the aloha Stadium last year and played well on our turf. UCA was probably not at talented as Weber State but still played the game the way it was supposed to be played. It’s understandable that they probably don’t have the depth and talent as most D1 FBS teams but I still like the way that they competed. They are an example of a very well coached team that excecuted well throughout most of the game on Saturday night. Good excecution, doing it right, attention to detail, all of the quliaties that seperate the good teams from the average. UCA will do well in their conference, no matter what the pre-season polls say.
I want to be a waikoloa warrior
I want to be a waikoloa warrior .
Hey Garret!
Found out a lot of interesting stuff I missed when I rambled through the UCA sites the first time. Folks…this may not interest everyone since the game has past already…just a disclaimer!
I think Bulla pointed out that UCA was ranked 12th in the FCS preseason poll (Weber was 8th or 9th). UCA put 9 players on the preseason first team and 6 players on the 2nd team…the most by far (unreal). Yet they were picked to finish 4th (as Garret posted). Yet, they received as many 1st place votes as any other team…they do weird things there! 9 starters returned on their top ranked conference defense and 6 on offense.
Nathan Dick (transfer from Arkansas) started 2 games for Arkansas as a freshman. Was there for the summer but suffered an arm injury that should be healed shortly…missed too much on-field practice to make the travel squad.
I thought the Southland conference was D1 since UCA transitions to D1 next year. Nope. Couchp was correct…Southland is D1AA and UCA is too, of course. I hope this helps to make amends for the false information I put out.
Drew- I like your enthusiasm.
I thought that the Redskins were going to try to work with Chase Daniel on the practice squad while Colt was on injured reserve. Looks as though the Saints have signed Chase to their practice squad, making Chase their number three QB while carrying only two QB’s on their active roster. Of course there are still a few more days left for the Saints to sign another #3 to the active roster.

Kazz,
Gee…tough one tonight at the Stanley, eh?
From what I and a few others saw Friday night UCA was a very talented football team that came a long way to play the game, It’s funny that a lot of people hold the fact that they are a D1AA team against them as if that makes them inferior to a D1A team, sorry that’s not true as a matter of fact I have seen some DII teams that could give any D1 team a run for their money, we have used the same thinking when we have played so called out of our league teams, (USC, FL, ALA to name a few) that on any given Saturday any team can beat another team.
So IMHO I think we played a pretty good game, is there room for improvement, of course there is, but I feel we should look at the positive and let the coaches work on improving what is needed, an like Pride said they already know what that is they don’t need me to tell them.

Whew… just got back from the game and it was up and down.
Ran into HiFlyer during intermission and I couldn’t believe the Wahine was still somewhat “drained” from the match up against Texas.
I really thought the Wahine would come out firing like madwomen, but #26 on Cal is ungodly timely with her kills.
Good to see the Wahine fight their way back and show what UH volleyball is and has always been about. Not enough gas in da tank to pull it off in 5 though.
I noticed a new trend since this weekend with Alex Forsythe slowly replacing Brittany Hewitt as the match progresses. Hewitt is slowly getting better, but can tell her agressiveness needs to be brough out naturally as opposed to have it being “placed” upon her.
Aneli Cubi-Otineru had a monster match and Amber Kaufman is well.. Amber Kaufman!
Dani Mafua and Stephanie Brandt had a rough first two sets though, but battled back.
It’s hard to play those many games day after day. The week will provide some good rest and mental recouperation until we meet the next batch of VICTIMS this upcoming weekend.

Yeah, but no sweat though. The ladies fought back well enough, but just ran out of gas.
After the match they weren’t down on themselves at all and they’ll be ready to go next weekend.
The timing and passing was so off in the first two sets that I couldn’t believe what I was watching, but they fixed it quick.

COLT WATCH-
A synopsis of the salient points about his situation Colt shared on Tanner Cooley’s radio show today:
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/colt-brennan/brennan-discusses-injuries.html
“Brennan Discusses Injuries
Redskins quarterback Colt Brennan, placed on injured reserve Saturday and thus ineligible to play this season, said Sunday night during a radio appearance that it’s possible he could have played with hip and hamstring injuries, but that the ailments would have compromised his performance.
“You’re always going about 90-95 percent,” Brennan said during an appearance on WJFK-106.7. He reiterated what Vinny Cerrato, the team’s executive vice president for football operations, said Saturday. Cerrato said a torn labrum in Brennan’s hip appears to lead to hamstring problems.
“It causes all this tightness in my hamstring,” Brennan said. “…”It’s just got to be patient now.”

I’m quite surprised that Beau Bell from UNLV got cut by the Browns. I remember when Hawaii played against the Rebels in 2007, Bell was a beast at linebacker.
It’s also interesting to see that the Browns have Veikune listed at defensive end instead of linebacker.

I want to be a Waikaloa Warrior.
Dunnachie did alright. His first snap was bobbled a bit but he got it off resulting in a punt of about 45 yards or so which caused a “fair catch” by UCA and pinning them on their 20..
Later in the evening I recall he placed a punt out of bounds pinning UCA inside the 15 I think.
He did his job.

She said, “Your friend, Alan Kimura and his wife. They were walking around and they came in and Alan’s wife really liked the nine-panel. So I told them to email us.”
I said… “Alan Kimura..?”
She said.. “Yeah, your friend…”
I said… “Ohhh.. ‘al’…..

At least Drew is adding to the blog posting numbers :))
Drew, really, you only need to post once. Each name is written on a slip, & someone picks the winner.
Pride.,
Well, I’m sure the coaches see what you did. Yes, they are pros at this. Sorry to make it appear as a correction to their work. Looking forward to the evaluation-discussion tomorrow.
‘Night all.
Like Pride says, it will be interesting to see how this all works out during the season. I watched out coaches clear the field after the game. I loved how Shaw walked off the field, a satisfied look on his mug as he came into the tunnel. Great job, coach Shaw!
I admire great coaching. The UCA coaching staff was led by a very distinguished but choke em as you smile kinda guy. The assistant I talked to was no slouch either. class act, that guy. And it showed on the field. The coaching staff played as a team, led by a leader. They showed up to play football.
I’m not hanging by the koolaid stand. But I’m admiring the new assistants at UH, Chris Tormey and Gordy Shaw. These two guys are class acts. I watch them. I listen. They’re quiet, and effective. Heads held high. They don’t talk or and mumble behind people’s backs. They’re not negative. Miano is a class act too. I’m hoping that their positive energy will rub off samoa on Ron and Rolo. I think it is, actually. No matta what a coupla duuuzzeez around here say, including yours truly sometimes.
Looking at the majority of the Warriors going into the tunnel after the game, and i wuz right there at the tunnel, I felt good energy from them. All of them. especially the seniors K-Kauhane, Rocky, Greg, Blaze.
They’re good. They’re gonna get better. And i ain’t waiting to jump on da band wagon.
Go Coach!
GO WARRIORS!

I’ll keep yellin at da braddaz cuz dats wat i tink it takes to keep da intensity level up up up. yu need da uptempo if yu gonna try fo run da … da… yu no wat i mean.
tks kekoa.
i think i need to pick pride’s brains again at some local eatery.
1 mo ting.
right befo da braddaz came out from unda da helmet, wuz watchin da seniors in front of da pack. sumbudy still inside da tunnel, and i couldn’t see who cuz he was like 20′ in back, started yellin, chantin, firing da gang up. and yu no who wen ansa back, yellin from da front? yup, fearless Alexander!
dat is one emotional guy! Go Alexander!
I may be an “ineligible receiver” for the Waikoloa prize, but would think our birthday blog host is going to enter each “Waikoloa Warrior” once.
so who won the vb tickets.
pp….can i make reservations for fourth of july now?
al, I’m not sure, but I don’t see why not. I’ll double check and let you know on Tuesday.
Really enjoy reading Pride’s insightful posts. Thanks big guy.
just commented on dallas morning news. encouraged smu to keepa going, wanna see them at the Hawaii Bowl. for that I would encourage our guyz to lose a few games so we can go pound on doze buggaz.
okay, i admit it. got major issues, dis one.
Pride yodelin to hisself always excites me.
so, who gonna show gamesmanship an make 400? 😀
AUSSIE
asking how alex dunnachie did?
heard his name one time on da speaka but i neva see how he did. the ncaa stats says he has 3 punts for 106 yars for 35 avg but no stats for the UCA game. i no he played tho and neva hear no bad words.
like Pride said, pretty good for a Frosh.
oy oy oy!
Enos was doing the punting one time from the southendzone. He did good.
nite nite, sweet warrior dreams

I believe it was Stretch’s b-day on Saturday and was overlooked w/ all the huhu re: the game. Happy B-day Stretch!!! How is Stretchette? Can somebody confirm that Stretchette was the original “-ette“??? 😀
It is actually a pretty sneaky way for Mr. Tsai to never forget Wena’s birthday.
Good move, sir!
We missed Stretch’s birthday?
Dang. Sorry, guy! Hope it was a good one!!!

Good morning Tsaikos everywhere.
Happy Birthday ST
Happy Birthday Wena
Belated Happy Birthday Stretch. I’ll drink with ya the next time I see ya to reflect on your great birthday present given ya Friday night. 😀
I’ve been reflecting on how we won friday night, and one good thing about the way we won is we did not show all our cards so to speak. The offense did not run the Noke or any other gadget type plays, and the defense rested a couple starters. Wazzu and UNLV will not have any good game film for prep. This makes me excited for what lies ahead.
GO WARRIORS!
I want to be a Waikoloa Warrior.
Happy Bday ST n Wena.
You can finally guy beer and go clubbing.
Ha ha ha. Have a great one.
Jack Flash
I agree with you. 😀
Aloha Kakahiaka!
❗ ❗ HAUOLI LAHANAU, STEPHEN AND WENA ❗ ❗
aussiesupporter: Nice to see you here! Alex did just fine. His punts have a great hang time and allow our special team to get near the receiver by the time it’s caught.
Plus he has a charming personality- making him an instant favorite with myself and my fellow “aunties”. He’s a keeper!

We are playing the Cougars of WSU in four days. The Huskies of UW are, i think, next year. Or was it the following year.
Good way of ticking off both sides, though! Call a Coug a ‘Dawg or a ‘Dawg a Coug and you could have a fight on your hands. Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Hawaii receiver Greg Salas was named the Western Athletic Conference offensive player of the week today.
Salas, a junior, caught seven passes for a career-high 180 yards in the Warriors’ 25-20 win over Central Arkansas last Friday. He scored the Warriors’ first touchdown of the season and his 66-yard reception set up the game-winning score late in the fourth quarter.

Happy belated birthday wishes to Stretch, nice to see your mom posting.
ST, nice job on the L&L show last Wednesday. I’m glad that you dress appropriately for your camera appearances, unlike others 😉
Good Morning Tsaiko’s…and you too BHF2!
I agree with you, ’cause you agree with JackFlash, who agrees with me, only he nevah knew it!
Clever how coach Mack and staff played it close to the vest, and only ran the basic formations. Except for a little Portagee moment or two, wundering what ‘fo do, dey managed to win.
We have seen some things in practice that perhaps shouldah been classifed NATO Secret. These extra pages to the playbook will prolly be scripted into the game plan for next Saturday. As *Church* lady used to say, “isn’t that special!”
WIN WARRIORS!

Read, with interest, the article about the Euless Trinity football team and their Ha ka. Somewhat of a large Tongan representation in Trinity’s community.
Coach feels it’s important enough to the team and community that an assistant coach has the responsibility for their Ha ka. It’s a community thing and the Ha ka leader is a African American. Picture accompanying the article shows the PRIDE the players take in its performance.
So, Coach Mack, perhaps you can make the Warrior Ha ka an item of importance since the fans really, really like the Ha ka – it’s a feeling of pride and being part of the team. “What say you?”(alibet, Lord of the Rings).
happy birthday wena, stephen, and stretch!
Good morning Tsaikos!
Congrats to Greg Salas! And good luck to all the former Warriors in the NFL this season. I got DBess on my fantasy football team 🙂

Hi LiL Mermaid!
Great news about Greg Salas.
Go Warriors!
Liz,
Was planning to stop by the t-gate on Friday but after 1 1/2 hours in traffic to get the the stadium from town, we decided to make sure we had parking in the stadium. Next time, I’ll plan better.
Got ’em, thanks. Actually, Chopsueyboy has posted since January 2008, although infrequently. I have added him to the UH-WA State Tsai-ko game list (just below the UH-UNLV Tsai-ko page at…
http://home.roadrunner.com/~smurashi/tsai-kos/las2009.html
Chopsueyboy</b — If you wish, email me your permission to give out your email address to known Tsai-kos also attending this week’s game. Same for your cell phone number if you provide it. email me at stevem.hnl (at) gmail.com
LizKauai, Thanks for your welcome, great to be here. Alex has been featured in the paper back here in Oz a few times and seems to be gaining some interest. Hey if the Warriors have an aussie punting for them I’ll jump on board. The warriors have a new supporter here – albeit by long distance. Does anyone have any idea if this weekends coming game is shown on tv or internet? If not, looks like listening on the espn radio early Sunday morning aussie time. Cheers all.
I want to be a Waikoloa Warrior.
AussieSupporter,
You could try
http://www.channelsurfing.net
on the day of the game to see if anyone is streaming it.
Otherwise, you could listen to a live broadcast via radio at – http://www.espn1420am.com/?id=68
Doesn’t look like Washington is offering any live video, though.
aussiesupporter! ~ G’day mate! Welcome to the Tsaiko family.
My fellow Tsaiko, Pomai and I were inside the stadium 2 hours prior to game time and watched Alex ‘boom’ a few kicks to warm up. He is such a talented young man. We have watched him at several practices last month. He is simply amazing!
During his 1st punt attempt, he may have been a bit nervous. He mishandled the snap, but quickly recovered. He was able to get a decent punt down field with lots of ‘air’ under it. This allowed the coverage to get down field and limit the return.
Other punts were also ‘position’ kicks, and they were well done. Kickers are expected to be able to control the distance and the ‘hang’ time of their punts. Alex handled his duties very well for a freshman. He will only get better with time.
Those of us who have witnessed his ability to ‘sky’ those punts are so very thankful that he chose to come to play for, and become a Warrior! Oy..oy..oy!
