Good Luck to Steele Jantz.

ST: Any word “on the street” re OL Joseph Napeahi (sp) ?

A very Happy Mother’s Day morning to everyone — especially to all the Mommy’s!!!

Garret . . .

That guy with the exploding dye pack needs more red dye for his other head. I think he got what he deserved . . . brings a whole new meaning to fire crotch.

ST: did you ever contact Kahai LaCount ?

Why would ST do that, Kahai pau play at UH, we like Kainoa LaCount play for us…

Kahai graduated like 2-3 years ago…He came in with Samson Satele and Marques Kaonohi from Kailua…member?

Happy Mothers Day…MILF’s!!! 🙂

Aloha Kakahiaka!
Happy Mommy Day!

Great Morning All!

Happy Mothers’ Day!

Happy Mother’s Day!

looks like koakane had a good time last night
hope everyone made it home safe and sound

((((HUGS)))) to Frank25 for being who he is and sharing that with us last night! It was a special night and full of love and blessings in so many ways!

looks like you guys had tons of fun!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you out there!

Is it September yet?

Ok…heading to Waikiki for the beach services, to be with Pomai & Ohana.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mom’s out there…and Koakane for being the mother hen of the PC chirrun!

Good Morning all Tsaikos and Tsaikettes!!

Okay, I didn’t get home until 2 this morning and didn’t get to sleep until 4, but I am up to thank everyone for such a wonderful time last night!!! *applause*

Thanks to all my little helpers!!

Frank had a great time. It felt like everyone did although we were missing some people, but we carried on like troopers. He is taking back some wonderful memories and pics.

Congratulations ST on the win! If the Tsaikos had been involved, no doubt you would have come in first…I wonder if we should ask for a recount and check for hanging chads.

Koakane looked like his last pic on the blog when I left home in good hands this morning. Thanks to all those that made sure that everybody got home safely!

Colomaohana…you are such a sweetheart! Please give Eileen a BIG hug from us for the beautiful cake…it was very good and sweet. I am so glad that you came to join us and hope to see you at many more!! Thank you for the gifts…hehehe…just helping to keep the party going eh?!?!

Wait, does what happen at kk’s, stay at kk’s like the cc’s? If that’s the case then we won’t talk about PP and her appearance. 😯

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO ALL YOU BEAUTIFUL AND LOVING MOMMIES!!

Have a safe flight back Liz!! Thank you so much for coming…even if the TSA thought you were a terrorist and took you off of your original flight!!

wafan – If those TSA people would have had Kekoa’s wonderful lomilomi salmon…which I BTW have the leftovers in the frig…then we would have never seen any of that poi!!

You know…Liz is a woman of many colors. She surprises us all the time! That’s why we love her!!

My thoughts and prayers go out to Pomai this morning as they get prepared to send Kuulei off on her final journey.

Rob25, give a crisp snappy salute to Frank from me! Thank him for serving our country!

ST, thanks for all the pix…great stuff!

LTUHF – Will do…on the salute thingy! It was a great time as usual and surely missing your presence. Good to see you post…what a nice Mother’s day present to see you on the blog.

Please give a big hug to Lorna and wish her a belated Happy Birthday!!

Hi whitey! Wish you could have joined us last night!

A-joe’s still sleeping…okay shhhhhhhhhhhhh

Happy Mother’s Day All! 🙂

Looks like a great time had by all at the KK!

Good luck to Steele wherever he ends up.

ROB25 – I also join in saluting Frank and all our service people. I would do it in uniform but that was 30-40 pounds ago!

Happy Mother’s Day!

And STEVEM: you are terrific!

rob25, thank you for thinking about us. we would like to extend our most sincerest thanks to frank for keeping us safe and letting all of us enjoy our lives to the fullest. without people like him, we would be in deep kim chee. mahalo nui loa frank and please tell all of your comrades, we truly appreciate all that they do. almost forgot, happy mother’s day rob25.

Good Morning JaM!

Please tell Brie and her “friend” thanks for helping me to get all the stuff in my car. I forgot to tell them before you left…in all of the chaos at the end there.

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Mothers Day to all moms everywhere!!

Sounds like sj and I missed an awesome KK gathering. Rob25 please give Frank hugs and thanks from the two of us. I came down with my usual annual (can’t seem to get rid of) cold. With all the sneezing I was doing I opted to say home. sj had every intention of stopping by after the services but apparently parking was a problem so he came on home.

Enjoyed the pics and comments shared on the blog!!

You all a great Sunday

Happy Mother’s Day to the Tsai-ko Mommies out there – too many to mention, so I won’t, lest I forget anyone. 😀

Looks like a great time was had by all at the KK, as usual. The Tsai-kos know how to paaahtaaay.

Have a great Sunday everyone. Still trying to get rid of this cough. It’s been 2 weeks! grrrrr….

Oh yeah…Happy Madaz Day!

DISCLAIMER! MAJOR DISCLAIMER!!

COLT BRENNAN DID NOT CALL – he he, it was Mrs A-House pretending he called!!

What a day this will be!!

Thank you to everyone for the reports on the KK! I’m glad that it sounds like everyone had a great time, and wish I could have gotten a chance to meet Frank and thank him in person for his service to our country.

I thought that the Browns took Maiava to be used at inside LB, but this reporter seems to think that he’ll be mainly used on special teams. If Veikune sticks at inside LB, then that would probably prevent Maiava from getting too many reps at inside LB.

While on the subject of cleaning up my messes, I also wrote that fourth-rounder Kaluka Maiava was a career backup at USC, but the linebacker started as a senior and made second-team All-Pac-10. I do think his impact will be on special teams, where he was the captain of that unit at USC.

Not only did Withy-Allen lead his team in rushing, he threw 6 TD passes.

Behind quarterback Shawn Withy-Allen, the Guard continued to battle back. Withy-Allen threw for 279 yards and six touchdowns.

Happy Mothers’ Day everyone!

Myki…please get well soon

I didn’t realize that Pisa had career highs for sacks and tackles last season! I do think that 220 pounds is light for a strongside LB in the NFL…I thought that Pisa was near his listed 240 pounds.

This is kind of surprising news. Tinoisamoa put up good overall numbers, posting career highs in tackles and sacks.

Pisa, at 220 lbs, is a little smallish for the strong-side. We speculated this might be coming earlier in the spring.

The ACC’s commssioner (who is the BCS coordinator this year) says that the $500 million TV deal for the BCS bowls would not be affected if the MWC refuses to participate…and I’m guessing ESPN would agree with that.

The MWC is pushing the revenue issue, which Thompson testified is “grossly inequitable,” even more than the competition aspect. The BCS defense is basically that the television rights fees — ESPN has agreed to a $500 million contract for the bowl games of 2011-14 — would be unaffected without the MWC’s involvement, but would suffer greatly without the Southeastern Conference, for example.

That’s what John Swofford, the Atlantic Coast Conference commissioner who’s taking his turn as the BCS coordinator, meant when he testified that the system “represents the marketplace.”

Washington State is ranked the #114 team in the country by the NY Times.

The good news is that with only 12 games on this year’s schedule, it will be hard for the Cougars to match last season’s loss total.

Wulff’s first season back in Pullman was a disappointment. The biggest problem? The Cougars are as bereft of talent as any B.C.S. conference team in the country. This should be Wulff’s primary mission: hit the recruiting trail hard and find overlooked prospects who can grow and develop in his system.

Game(s) to watch: The Apple Cup, of course. But for Washington State’s sake, it better beat both Hawaii and S.M.U. out of conference. If the Cougars go 0-3 in non-conference play, they’ll be facing the specter of a winless season.

It’s really no surprise to see Washington State predicted to finish at the bottom of the Pac-10. Quite simply, this is the least talented team in the conference – even more so than 0-12 Washington, which was hurt more by injuries and a lack of confidence last season than below-average talent.

Washington State has a big problem with depth, and they just lost one of their returning players to a horrible auto accident.

The younger Mackay, a freshman defensive end at Washington State, was seriously injured Thursday evening in a one-vehicle accident seven miles west of Washtucna as he returned home to Redmond from final exams. The Eastlake High product had a three-hour surgery Friday to fuse fractured vertebrae.

In an interview Saturday evening at Harborview Medical Center, his father said damage to Cory’s spinal cord was “minimal.” As for feeling below the waist, Don Mackay said his son has “tingling” in one leg.

BSU is looking at ways to use Facebook to promote their Athletic Department.

A fantastic performance in a big game can launch a player to stardom. A hastily and inappropriately written 10-word Facebook update can tear him down.

That was never more clear than last month, when reports surfaced that NFL teams troll social-networking sites to gain insight into prospects.

“You’ve definitely got to conduct yourself well on there to create a positive image,” said senior cornerback Kyle Wilson, a top prospect for the 2010 NFL Draft.

Football players at Texas (Facebook) and Oklahoma (YouTube) were dismissed from their teams last season for inappropriate posts.

At BSU, defensive end Jarrell Root broke news about his broken leg on Facebook in November and wide receiver Austin Pettis caused an online stir by making wisecracks about Boise in Facebook updates during spring break.

BSU’s athletic department is about to make a social-networking splash. It already has a Facebook page, under Buster Bronco. The site is used mostly to promote smaller events like soccer games and volleyball matches to Buster’s friends.

This summer, BSU expects to launch a YouTube page that could include video, interviews and commercials – short segments that can be shared easily. And the department is researching Twitter to find a use for that site. Many athletic departments use Twitter to send links to their latest news.

Other social-networking tools BSU might use are blogs, player diaries and interactive question-and-answer sessions. Petersen will be involved in some way, said Brad Larrondo, BSU’s senior assistant athletic director for promotions and marketing.

“I definitely know we’re moving that direction with our Web content – fans being able to interact,” Larrondo said. “The big buzz word is connection. What you create is probably that fan loyalty É having people feel like they are part of the program.”

Gotta go do some other stuff…but wanted to congratulate the Bows on their sweep of Fresno yesterday. Even more than wins, I highly prize being able to get-up, dust yourself off, and get the job done after you’ve been knocked on your arse 7 straight times. That’s right in synch with A-Joe’s “Knocked down 7, get up 8” saying. Perfect seasons are absolutely incredible…but learning life lessons are just as important, I think.

BBL

Great night last night.. not such a great morning… to bad you guys dont know how to have fun..ST should have gone into the music business….

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

Garret

For sure, 220# is too light for SLB. He’s gotta find the right fit and a 3-4 team is not the answer.

BBL for sure this time.

Good day and Happy Mother’s Day!

It was a great Karaoke Call with Rob25 and Frank25 last night. I think the best BIG call at Krazy Karaoke yet! I admit I entered with some trepidation, since this party had so many secrets and behind-the-scenes moving parts. Still got secrets, I see, but, no worries with our veteran party group. 🙂

A big shout-out to Stretch who was instrumental behind the scenes as usual…and to Rob25 & Frank for being great hosts!

Although the first hour of the Song Request tickets was slower than anticipated, It did work to the extent that the last requested song finished a minute before we were cut off. This meant that everyone who put in a song request got to sing their song before we had to leave. It allowed us stop easily and have the secret presentation program and get special host requests in. (If we do this again, ST is the default host). 😉

A disturbing fact is that Peaches marked every song and kept every ticket–and we only played 75 songs total. Even allowing for the short program, that means we would average 80 or less in a 5 hour period (the song queue always had a song in it). So songs averaged over 3.5 minutes and I had overestimated the 90 tickets that were made– fortunately they were not all used. Bottom line: 5-hours at KK is around 80 songs (depending on type).

ASports – so how’s AJoe doing this fine morning??

djmitcho…come home again and we’ll have one for you and we can have a Mafia Wars theme to it…

Thanks for all of your help Brie +1! I am so glad you made it because it’s probably fun watching some of us oldies “party like it’s 1999” 😯 Wait, that’s already passed…no wonder we are so funny to watch!!!!!

Stretch-

I have just one word……………hanging.

I got up at 7:45 this morning and scrambled to get to Ku’ulei’s memorial at the beach. A-joe was slumped over the computer. I missed the whole service and got there just as catamaran was going out. I hung out with Kekoa, Diana, d1, Mei Ling, LizK while waited for catamaran to come back in.
I’m so glad I got to meet Pomai and daughter. It will be nice to see them at future Tsaiko events.
When I got home, a-joe was in same position as when I left. Pulled out the camera to show him the pictures taken with Pomai and Ku’ulei and of last night. Good thing there were pictures because he didn’t remember how great a time he had last night. He was like, “Wow! I sang with so-and-so?” and “I did THAT?!”

Mr. C-
He thinks he remembers the conversation about your co-worker that he knows.

Stretch and Pride-

So after I saw you guys off, I heard ka-tunk-ka-tunk noises in the house so I ran up the stairs. He was flat on his back on the bed. Suddenly he says, “Call Stretch!”
I say, “WHAT! WHY? Why do we have to call Stretch RIGHT NOW!
He says, “Tell dat bruddah I love him.” I know he meant you too, Pride. When he got up this morning, he said “Who brought me home?” I said, “Everybody.” He said he remembers Pride and Stretch’s voices.
I want to thank you for both very much for helping me get him up the stairs. He thanks you both for not having to pull a Homey and spend the night in the back of the pick-up.
ST and Wena-
Thank you both for coming home with us to make sure all was okay.
Dara- Thank you for helping me carry stuff up to the house.
Everyone, thank you ALL for your deep concern.

Now about last night….
That party started off a little slow, but by the end of the night it was ROCKIN’.

Rob25 and Frank-

Thank you sooooo much for being such terrific hosts! Frank, it brought tears to my eyes to see you enjoying yourself so much. That’s what coming home is all about.

SteveM and Peaches and Mei Ling-

Thanks for the song coordination!

The food was ono as usual. Fresh lomi salmon (not lomi tomato) and fresh poi was indescribable beyond words.
Homey, thanks for behaving.
Koakane, well….that’s another story. Nah nah nah….although you did manage to squeeze yourself into every single picture.
Koa-mahu, sistah/bruddah/thang. I know you was hiding out someplace in dat room. I hope you wen put your foot outside of the closet and boogied.

Was good to finally get to talk to the mommies and meet the Advertiser peeps.

As soon as a-joe is back on track, we’ll probably have photos and vids up.

ST, Lefty and a-joe-
HILARIOUS!!!

Thank you all, my friends!

hi joe napeahi looks good when i saw him at a party in hilo last week he look like he lost plenty of weight .napeahi playing o line with coach shaw has his o line coach mean action. go warrior come out and play.

warrior4life: re #111.

Thanks for the update on Joe Napeahi. Yup, I think Coach Shaw and Joe will hit it off real good.

How’s Joe’s academics ? Did he complete all the requirements to enroll this Fall ?

Hoping for the best for Joe.

Well, I am sure everyone will recover completely by tomorrow! In the meantime, take care of yourselves and drink lots of water!!!

Oh, and stay away from bright lights and loud sounds.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Happy Mommy’s Day to all of the Tsaiko moms & Mr. Moms!

I think I need a nap after going to brunch with Kekoa & Diana after the memorial for Ku’ulei. Mahalo!

WhooWhee! What a KK…Mahalo to Rob25 & Frank for allowing us to party with you. Frank, know that we will have you in our prayers while you are away.

SteveM, thanks for working out the song queue program. I think if LizK’s poi hadn’t been held up, we would have gotten off to a faster start at the beginning. 🙂

ST, you were in great form last night!

The new Rat Pack, you guys are phat!

Great company, great fuud, lots of fun, & lots of tsinging…priceless combination. Happy birthday May ‘babies’! Congrats, Jason!

Congrats to the Bows on their wins!

One of the best moments came this morning when Pomai’s daughter made a comment about the Tsai-ko Ohana. She was impressed with the true family love we have for each other- even when we don’t know each other’s regular names and only go by handles!
It’s really true. Tsai-ko aloha transcends all the little things that people often allow to come between each other.
To see bulla and Pride and a room full of people summon a spiritual blanket of love and protection for Frank25 was a tremendously moving moment for me. Amidst all the fun and silliness there was true connection and a wonderful reminder that for all that we have been given in this world, we are truly grateful.

Vog/Smog/Fog/Blues Crews ‘Hangover Sunday’ afternoon everybody!

Continued healing prayers for all who were smitten by the *KK* bug…H E A L!!…(especially you, Mr. A-Joe).

Recovery time alloted for Tsaiko veterans is normally 18 hours. Because this party was an exception, you all have been granted an extension to a full 24 hours.

Dang auto speller. TI leaves !

Okaaaayyy … I dunno WHAT happened there. My Mac hates me today, I guess. Let me try again. It should have looked like this:

ATTENTION, KK PARTYGOERS:

(this is a repeat from earlier, for the evening crew)

Errr … I stupidly forgot to remind everyone that the news I revealed last night actually must remain “secret” — that is, not for further public release — until the end of this month. (There is a certain date the info is meant to become public knowledge, but I have to ask the folks in charge, and as soon as I know it, I’ll post it in this blog and let ST know.)

So please keep it under your hat for now until further notice. Thanks.

(For those who were not present at the KK … I really apologize for being cryptic. It will all make sense very soon, I promise.)

Thanks, all.

Okay, in case you didn’t see/read Esme‘s message(s) above….

Esme: May 10th, 2009 at 5:55 pm

IMPORTANT REQUEST:

Many of you were present when a certain announcement was made last night re: ST.

Hi Liz!!! 😀

Esme ~ I’m having a tough time keeping this highly classified information under my hat. Like everyone in the room last night, I ate so much, my hat no fit!…Plus if you tell Homey anything, it is already posted on all the men’s room stalls in Waipahu by now.

wow brew, you good.

Brew ~ You’ll be happy to know that Wena had a most enjoyable time at the KK last night. She seemed especially proud of her hubby’s smooth super star performance of crowd favorites like *The Lion Sleeps Tonight!*

I’m thinking ST was giving Wena his best effort as an early Mother’s Day tribute to her.

I don’t even remember this part of the nite. But, apparently it happened:

BIG Mahalo to all who participated in my “Homey Safe Home Program” last night. First class delivery.

To all our moms who have Tsaikos and Tsaikettes for kids-

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

I like this analysis about Samson.

Another move I like is their trade for 2 year veteran Center Samson Satele. Satele was a bright spot on the offense of the 1-15 2007 Dolphins, but was a poor scheme fit and a weak spot on Tony Sparano’s line. So the Raiders, who run a scheme that is much closer to Cam Cameron than Bill Parcells, trade a late round draft pick to fix their Center situation. He will play in between two guys in Robert Gallery and Cooper Carlisle who have enjoyed success on the Raider OL in the past, under Cable.

Free play link time. Please ignore my next 5 posts if you do not want to read the off-topic stuff.

Researchers used a patient’s own stem cells to reverse type 1 diabetes…successfully treated patients no longer need insulin to control their blood sugar!

Paraguay’s President (who was a bishop before being elected President and campaigned about being a moral force for change) has now been hit with *3* paternity suits for kids he allegedly had with women when he was a bishop…he admitted paternity when the first woman came forward and now there are rumors that he fathered children with more than these three women.

Study found that eating a lot of fruits and vegetables actually *increases* the chances for smokers to get colon cancer! Nonsmokers reduce their colon cancer chance by eating lots of fruits and vegetables, but smokers have the opposite result.

Very very happy Mother’s Day to all Mothers in this world. And its very nice work to arrange party for Frank Vierra.

Bid=video

😳 Wahine 😳

C_C, Garret – Thanks for the props. I suppose the version in #130 would have looked fine around this time, last night at the KK…. 😯 😆 🙄

Brew808,

Expecting an invite with the Wahine RPI in the 90’s would be a bit much, BUT just the fact that a few talking heads at ESPN-U even gave UH softball consideration is just a testament to what Coach Coolen has built over the years, especially the past few seasons.

But yeah, very good season overall considering the concerns at pitcher in the beginning of the season, then starting 3-11 to winning ALL their conference series except for one and that just happened to be the very same team that eliminated the Wahine out of the WAC tournament.

No worries though, Wahine softball in 2010 looks very promising!!!

We all know what 2010 Sophomore Stephanie Ricketts is capable of after her performance this past year earning her the 2009 WAC Freshman of the Year honors, but there is word of a un-named left-handed Australian pitcher coming to Manoa in 2010 to hopefully compliment Ricketts and take some of the pressure off of her.

AND

Still looking to really see what 2008 blue chip recruit Kelly Majam can do. Hopefully the injury she sustained in the fall of 2008 is nothing but a memory.

Not to mention the addition of the two newest Rainbow Wahine (knocks on wood):

Jessica Iwata is a 5-6, middle infielder from Kauai High School. “Jessica is quick, has great hands, and has an incredible softball IQ,” says Coolen. “She can hit to all fields with power and will be a great addition to our team.” Iwata hit .467 for the Red Raiders as a junior shortstop in 2008. Her many accolades include being voted all-league 2006, ‘07, and ‘08; named the 2007 league Player of the Year; selected to Honolulu Advertiser’s 2007 and ‘08 DII all-state tournament team; was the 2008 Honolulu Advertiser DII state tournament’s Most Valuable Player; and earned 2007 DII all-state honorable mention honors. Iwata has been coached at Kauai High by Darell Borrero. Iwata plays for the Guava Jam club team, coached by Guy Oshiro and James Millwood, that won the 16-under Hawai‘i ASA state title. She played numerous positions for the Guava Jam team, including third base, catcher, outfield, and shortstop.

Brittani Bertussi, a 5-6 middle infielder, helped lead her Granite Hills High School team to the 2008 CIF Division I title. As a freshman shortstop, she was named Defensive Player of the Year and was second team all-league. The past two seasons, she has earned back-to-back Offensive Player of the Year honors while making first-team all-league both years. As a junior, she also garnered a pair of Most Valuable Pitcher awards for the Falcon Fiesta Tournament and she has been nominated for Athlete of the Year at Granite HS every year of her standout career.

“What really stood out about Brittani, was that she is a strong but quiet leader on the field,” Coolen states. “She has good range, excellent hands, and is so versatile she can play anywhere on the field with outstanding instincts. Bertussi is a spray hitter who hits for power and is smart in situational hitting. She will make an immediate impact.” She was member of the 18-U Mizuno Pride Gold club team which current Rainbow Wahine Amanda Tauali‘i and Mikalemi Tagab-Cruz both played for. Since 2007, Bertussi has played with the 18-U SoCal Breakers, with current Hawai‘i player Kelly Majam. This past season, Bertussi set a new Breakers’ club-record with a .413 batting average while posting team highs in hits (52), doubles (10), home runs (7), runs batted in (39) and slugging percentage (.683).

These three plus the returning of current freshman starters Makani Duhaylonsod-Kaleimamahu and Dara Pagaduan provide experience at the college level to compliment 2010 seniors Katie Grimes, Kanani Pu’u-Warren, Traci Yoshikawa, and Amanda Tauali’i.

Garret,

Someone should write for a grant to study the relationship between fair-weathered fans vs all-weather fans and their divorce rates. That might make an interesting study.

Kazz Na Wahine lose their starting LF and RF….Aquirre and Tagab-Cruz are OF without much playing Time this season.. Coolen needs a few more recruits for competition at various positions and that adds depth…

Pow-wah Puff ~ last night, I almost didn’t recognize you without your helmet on!

BIG Mahalo to all who participated in my “Homey Safe Home Program” last night. First class delivery.

Addahknowjoe — glad you got home and upstairs. Great account by A-sports — and possibly the creation of the Tsai-ko designated driver and piano moving service! Good thing had an engineer too. 🙂

Seriously, a shout out to everyone who helped get you home. I only had to DD the lychee martini gal and my Bomber. 🙂

As this Mother’s Day comes to an end, I’d like to salute all the Mom’s out there who have done so much to nurture our children and work hard to keep the family unit running smoothly.

A tip of the Tsaiko cap to Esme and her Dot Com Moms for crossing over to join forces with the chosen ones of the Warrior Beat.

good luck to the Na Wahines at the WAC outdoor track championships! Events begin on Wednesday. With a limited roster and participants in selected events the Na Wahine have had great success with C. James at the helm…

Mr. Donovan : good coaching are game and program changers and the program reward is winning seasons, a winning tradition, and annual NCAA participation. If track and field was a revenue generating sports then coach James should be rewarded by the wahines success over the years. Ditto for the Water Polo team that finished fourth in the NCAA championships..

A little late here, but we had a long, exhausting day with our families.
Greg and I had a really good time at the party last night…mahalo to hosts Rob and Frank, and to everyone else. : ) We’ll all have to do this more often!

I know its really late but i was working on my stats paper. Hopped up on Caffeine right now.

Thanks everyone for a memorable time! Got to see my good friends and meet new people. lots of luck to you Frank…nice talking to u.

I was kinda sad not to hear Funky Cold Medina 🙁

Sorry if i was a mic hog…my friends frm work actually made a rule for me when I go out with them…a “lefty” rule…no singing two songs in a row. lol

Aww…great…who put the vid up of me rapping with Stephen…my students will probably find it now! they are not supposed to know that side of me…They think I live in a cave and read history books all day.

Mr. C…I hope I can help u but our school is REALLY strict on GE transfers. My best basketball player was caught lying about his home address. They kicked him out and sent him to our rival school..Aliamanu…he killed us in the game. sheesh.

thanks again everyone…

There were lychee martinis???

OK.
Back to sleep!

Blog clock is 6 minutes slow.

See you later today.

CRW,

I hope that your morning is going well. I’ve been up for a couple of hours already today, but the kids keep me busy.

I’ve been worried for quite some time that Utah State would run out of money and have to drop out of D-IA. They are getting $2 million more per year because their students voted to increase their Athletics Fee (check that out ASUH!), but they need more money somehow to balance their budget in the future.

Worst off is Utah State with a deficit approaching a million dollars. First-year athletic director Scott Barnes is excited about a recently passed student referendum, which will add $2 million per year to USU athletics, but he says even that won’t be enough to keep the Aggies above water in the long term.

“Running an athletic department is a lot more expensive than people realize,” said Utah’s Hill, who has run Utah’s successful athletic program for two decades.

At Utah State, despite another projected deficit, there is optimism thanks to a successful men’s basketball program under Stew Morrill, a renewed hope for football under new coach Gary Andersen and an athletic director who is trying to upgrade the program while being handcuffed with one of the smallest budgets among Football Bowl Subdivision schools.

“We already fund most of our programs at a minimum level,” Barnes said. “So we’ve had to really focus on overhauling our funding model. We’ve run a deficit for so long, our funding model was broke.”

Barnes compares his budget to a three-legged stool — self-generated funds, institutional support and student fees.

“When you compare a school like ours to Utah or BYU, our ability for self-generated revenue is not at the same level,” he said. “Our alumni base isn’t as large and our markets aren’t as large and prosperous for us to generate that kind of revenue.”

Because of that, USU has had to rely more on student fees and institutional support. The referendum to increase student fees enough to put $2 million into the athletic budget was controversial on campus but vital for Utah State to remain a viable FBS (formerly called Division I) school.

“We were fortunate to get a student referendum passed on our campus, which will certainly answer one of the three,” Barnes said. “But all along we’ve said it isn’t the total answer to our problems, just one piece of the puzzle. We have to all work harder and smarter in self-generated area. We’re getting closer but we’re not there yet.”

About how most schools lose money with sports:

“I don’t know how long the non-BCS conference schools can keep it up. I really don’t. I call them the pretenders.” said Dan Fulks, author of a 114-page NCAA report on Division I revenues and expenditures.

A report commissioned by the NCAA that was released last month showed that major college programs bumped their spending by nearly 11% annually, more than double the average rise in universities’ overall spending. Top-tier Division I-A teams increased their spending from $31 million in 2004 to $42 million in 2007, the most recent year in the study. All but about two dozen I-A athletics programs are subsidized to some degree by their respective schools.

Some Pac-10 schools are thinking about ending the practice of putting the football team in a hotel the night before a home game…that is a huge expense that none of the other sports have.

At some schools, there’s even talk of scrapping the longtime — and expensive — practice of quartering football teams at a local hotel on the night before home games. Coaches have long insisted they need to sequester their players to avoid “distractions” — an argument that may carry little weight in these times.

Good Morning Tsaikos! Sounds like everyone had a good time at the KK.
Well it’s another week of slaving away for the man, or in my case, the woman.

Good morning Tsai-kos!

Happy Monday. grrr….

Still can’t shake this dang cough. Woke me up at 4:30 this am.

Jump over to Kelli’s blog and congratulate her!! Man, this girl is good – Phi Beta Kappa with a double major!!

jm2375,

I posted a congratulations on Kelli’s blog, but my comment is awaiting moderation…

I just had some work sent to me, so I’ll be off blog for awhile and will let someone else post #200.

Good Monday morning Garret & djmitcho. I remember when Weber State came here to play UH. Mr & Mrs Bulla met the team with Bento lunch boxes consisting of Spam musubi and assorted island goodies.

One of the mainland players grumbled about having to eat *Spam* in a short video interview. Maybe Spam musubi will become more of a cost saving road meal on their bus trips this season.

A-Joe

@137………

That’s priceless. Not sure if I want the kid to see that! 🙂
