JC nose tackle commits to UH

okay i’ll take three tix to the hawaii bowl.

anoddah top ten finish

brought over from other side

on a somber note best wishes to Lilian Yonamine on the passing of her husband Masa. he was the a good man whom I had the pleasure of knowing some time back. masa was out of coaching and in the twilight of his years as AD at waipahu when I first meet him. he always had a smile and greeted everyone courteously. he loved to golf with his buddies especially Eddie Hamada. Together along with some friends they would travel to another island and golf a few rounds but always made it back for dinner. the 808 will miss this fine person. again my condolences to mrs. yonamine who in her own right is a super counselor now at Iolani but spent many many years at Waipahu along with her husband.

now you got mail.

wasn’t there a rb named hafoka

Nice, another big bugga!

Al sometimes you surprise me, for a guy your age, dang, you must be on super strength ginko biloba

I thought today’s practice is for the newbies and redshirts and official ND work starts on wednesday.

Liz and bighilo go, hawaiian and mokulele annouces $31 one tickets from Kona and Kauai thru the 31…go get’um

yah ralph. wait til i get to your age, i hope my memory is better than yours is.

don’t break a hip!

good morning las vegas!

Ay you night owls can go sleep 🙂 zzzzz
Looks like more guys to check out at spring practice

Pride (273, last blog),

Excellent analysis of the O-Line situation. You’ve shed a bright light on it and everything makes sense. We should all lay off the coaches and let them coach for awhile.

I agree, with what they were given, they did very well.

Thanks, Tsaiko-Brother.

Time to sleep a little, good night everybody.

i hope more of our Hawaii athletes would commit early, whether to Hawaii or a mainland university, the recruiting classes are filling up and an athlete might find himself with a promise but no scholarship available-to late, snooze you lose. UH is almost maxed out, some of the mainland colleges have more than the 25 scholarships allowed expecting grayshirts or non qualifiers.

Ralph
howzit.

I’m hoping the rumor mentioned, about Chizzy decomitin is not true.
I like the sound of a rb named Chizzy. Colorado State is a great place. In the boonies between Cheyenne and Denver. If you like to ski, have quiet country life.

Now if you like surf, go nuts over football, Hawaii is the place fo yu!

But actually, I was talking to some State workers yesterday and I asked them if they were going to watch the Irish, and they didn’t know what I was talking about.

Talk about backwater people: 🙄

start swimming now and you can fly back to kona after the bowl game

hiyha Ralph.
great prices for Kona and Kauai people.

ST
GREAT read in the HA about Hafoka.
And Funaki. Inoke is one super class act.

Happy Birthday Max!

So, tomorrow is NLI day for JUCOs? Great.

I hope we gettin what Brian and Alex are looking for

13 degrees. 31 degrees.

That is what is it right now and what it will be about noon today.

Tonight — more snow on the way. Geez.

This last week of school for 2008 is going to be brutal.

Pride,

ditto your excellent post 273 last blog.

so wat? should I hang myself wit all da perplexities? 😀

the worst part yu neva mention is a 6″3″ guy actually turning out to be 5’11”. just looks taller because da bugga is so huge! 😀

Hi bhf2!

Dang. It is kind of cold.

See ya!

hoboy

the irish are coming
the irish are coming

yeee haaaaaaaaaa!!!!

we’re gonna keep their streak intact!!

Go Warriors!!!!

Momo called me last night from the basketball game to tell me that the jersey was ready. He asked me, “So, when are you going to come to Hawaii to pick it up?” Heh.

Ralph,

Momo is regularly up past midnight. He and Mrs. Momo also normally are awake early–Mrs. Momo has normally read the Advertiser by 6:30am.

Not that many Ohio State fans are planning to go to the Fiesta Bowl.

Interest, or the lack of it, is such that bowl tickets will go on sale to the general public here Wednesday — something that almost never happens, according to Bill Jones, Ohio State’s assistant athletic director for ticketing and premium seating. Jones said OSU’s bowl ticket allotment, even the 36,000 it might have for a Rose Bowl, are almost always snapped up by donors and season-ticket holders before the general public ever gets a shot.

What’s killing the Fiesta Bowl buzz?

Ohio State’s recent success, its lackluster offense this year, the dreadful economy and even the date of the bowl (on the first day of the university’s winter quarter) are all getting some of the blame. Here, a 10-2 season wasn’t something to celebrate.

Utah had 7,500 tickets left from its 17,500 ticket allotment as of Friday morning. They then made it available to the general public, and most of the 3,000 tickets sold were bought by Alabama fans!

The Crimson Tide sold off all of its allotment of 17,500. Utah has not yet done so, and it presents fans with their only primary ticket market opportunity.

Utah pre-sold 10,000 tickets to its donors, then put the remaining 7,500 on sale Friday morning. In addition, Alabama sent out an email to its students and donors encouraging them to purchase tickets from the U of U site.

Roughly 3,000 sold, Lassiter said, with more than 2,400 (80 percent) being bought by Alabama fans. He was surprised the tickets weren’t all gobbled up by the Tide.

mano1,

UH Athletics will get some of that funding I believe–WassupDoc has been keeping us informed about the developments.

of course i gotta keep an eye out fo da aunties close by. ekolu get sum aunties on ‘roids.

kakanui,
i no yu lurkin. 😀 8 more sleepless nites and I’m right dayah!

yeS YES

juke juke

one handed grab, spin move, still going

WOW WOW WOW

WOOF WOOF

hiya sjmacro & myki

so tell me, is anybody using da JUGS in the early am?

Do i get a prize?

If an insanity defense is employed, does it cover one’s legal counsel, too?

I’m impressed with the recruits so far. I don’t know that we’ll ever have a guy as talented, savvy & versatile as Ryan Mouton, but we can hope. It seems every cornerback & safety coming in has comparable speed (to Ryan), but we’ll have to see if it translates to “game speed”. Also, has anyone heard further word about Mageo de-committing??

but if you waz referring to me, i object!

heh heh

ok gotta go.

hi ho hiho. have a great day errybody!!!

Go Warriors.

esme wooossssssssssshhhhhhhhhh

Good Morning Tsaikos!!

It will be interesting to see how Mack passes out the scholies because there is no way every players who commits here is getting one. Unless it is known that some of the verbals previously given are not coming??

Good Morning to all Tsaiko’s, even you, BHF2.

Everytime I’m enjoying a good sleep, I can count on BHF2 making enuff noise to wake up da dead. Geez Big Fan…you get up before da roosters and crow louder then the entire Wessai Chaptah on steroids!

good morning Tsaikos,

Stretch, you’re right, and scholies offered and scholies issued is a lot like the airlines/hotel industry. you overbook, and then see where the chips fall.

some athletes will be amazed to get calls from the coach saying, ‘well, the recruiting climate has changed and your offer is no longer available, or we really want you but the scholarship is not available, or we think you need some time to further develop physically, or we have you in our charts at making a contribution down the road…’

interesting news coming our of Kapolei, that LB was a stud all season, and a monstah to bring down when he carried the ball on offense….if USC is chasing him, he’s got things rolling now…….

GO WARRIORS!!!!

BHF2,

whew, too much coffee, red bull, patron or all of the above, haha.

you are THE RECORD, just for the record.

congrats, on what i don’t know, but congrats.

Good morning Tsaikos and Tsaikettes…

More good news…..Welcome to the warrior family Mr. Hafoka….

Great story about Funaki, Stephen.

What a truly excellent young man he is. The Warriors are fortunate to have student athletes like him around, his “team first” attitude is quite admirable.

Pride.,

Thanks for posting your analysis of the OL situation. Your insight is greatly appreciated.

Good morning all! Hope everyone has a good day. I, myself am freezing my okole off. Even after all these years, I don’t think you can get used to single digit temps. I even broke out my heavy duty down coat.

nice article on funaki today. what a great teammate, hope they can draw up some things for him next year. can da LBP game be seen this weekend in hawaii…

LizK: Advertiser sports page 1.

Pampero Firpo

okay- found the article under da odda heading…
hiho!

In addition, it might not be his grades at all….it could be as simple as not taking Algebra II…….UHM requires it unlike the majority of D1A colleges….correct me if I am wrong.

The best athletes Hawaii has to offer are of either Samoan or Tongan ancestry. I am not trying to be racist or controversial. To see whether this makes sense at all just look at international rugby. All of the top stars are either Samoan or Tongan. Football is a lot like rugby, an exercise in controlled violence.

If Fat Mack and his crew had any understanding of football, and of the principles promoted by these sports, removed of course from bias and favorites, Fat Mack and crew would have recognized the division I talent in Kapolei FB/MLB Simione Vehikite (Tongan) before Ken Norton of USC recognized this talent.

Vehikite is built like Rey Maualuga (Samoan) and has athleticism similar to Maualuga. Vehikite is also similar to Manti Teo (Samoan) in athleticism and build.

USC, a school who is concerned with one thing only – being the best, understands this and this is why they are here to offer Vehikite a full scholarship. If USC can find Vehikite despite USC being more than 2500 miles from Hawaii, my question is this: why wasn’t the UH able to “find” Vehikite?

Could UH’s inability to find players like Vehikite have anything to do with bias and favortism on the part of its coaching staff? With UH’s coaches being former community college players, it makes sense that these coaches would tend to favor community college players. The problem with this approach, however, is apparent. UH ends up getting the scraps.

Since UH has demonstrated it does not know how to identify top quality local talent, I offer the names of the following current high school football players as Division I players other Pac 10 schools will pick up if UH is too stupid to pick up:

1. Patrick Mauga – MLB Aiea
2. Apelu Sooalo – RB Farrington
3. Troy Matautia – RB Waipahu
4. Jeff Mauga – lineman Aiea
5. Higgins – QB St Louis

protector……….mageo is a goner. i heard he has now decomitted with four schools. anyway the word was that the guy had a 2X4 atop his glenohumeral joint that didn’t represent the warrior mantra. thus, david hafoka, i believe who appears to be even more stout than mageo.

we want warriors who want to be warriors!

Who’s “Fat Mack”?

Is there a Call the Coach show tonight? I thought they ended a couple of weeks ago.

Will there be a similar set-up for basketball this year? I know that from time to time a baseball CTC show has been held at the sports bar in downtown Honolulu – cannot remember the name but it’s below street level in the high rise at the corner of Bishop & Hotel. . Very difficult to see and hear if you’re not able to gett a seat directly in front of the broadcast area because the show is not amplified as it is at the Willows.

ryan-
No. I’m not lost. Once in a while I like to pop in to see what the peasants are talking about. If you need a “bro”, look elsewhere.

bstunna2002-
you must be from the DOE with access to confidential information re these kids, their grades, SATs, etc. …either that or you are making a lot of assumptions…and you know what they say about making assumptions…

Whoops!!! gett = get

Well, right now the “peasants” are talking about this poster who was playing the race card about a team that has more players of Polynesian ancestry than any other team in the country.

You need a little Dale Carnegie in your life, bro.

The best athletes Hawaii has to offer are of either Samoan or Tongan ancestry. I am not trying to be racist or controversial.

But the fact is “You Are”

on the contrary, maybe its just that the mainland you have a much much MUCH larger pool of people. therefore competition, gene pool etc etc is larger and more competitive.

therefore the laws of probability are in your favor that you can find a great athlete w/in such a large base.

I didn’t say I wasn’t, only that I wasn’t trying to be. You misunderstand the difference between the two. Facts are facts, unlike statistics.

The best baseball players of all time happen to be black. Same with the fastest athletes on the planet. Same with the best basketball players.

If MMA paid enough, which it currently doesn’t, more blacks, Samoans, and Tongans would enter and dominate this arena too.

btw…..that (jeremy) higgins, current qb at st. louis is only a junior. yes his brothers are both playing with the beast at weber state. and oh, their father is an alumni of the university of hawaii and did play football as well.

if youre going to name aiea guys, you gotta add in miah faatoafe as well.

Pride.,

Thanks for the analysis on the last blog. I keep learning from stuff you guys write.

E komo mai, David Hafoka!

wafan,

Flagstaff has over a foot of snow & is around 30 degrees. Glad I’m not slippin’ & slidin’ there. I think the only thing I’ll miss is seeing snow on the trees outside on Christmas day. But family beats that out.

JC players are usually brought in to fulfill immediate needs. Why? JC players are usually more game ready or adjusted to college level. We lose a lot this year to graduation which is why they have recruited the JC. As of today, we picked up Hafoka who I believe is Tongan.
As for the high school kids, we picked up some good local kids including Lopati (who I think is Samoan). So, I really don’t understand the racial or favoritism issue here. UH has offered kids of all ethnicity and if Simione Vehikite wasn’t offered, I guarantee it wasn’t because he was Tongan. I wish Simione Vehikite the best!

Go Warriors!

i took fa’a samoa at UH. i was taught tofa soi fua meant good bye. idk, i could be wrong. never really paid attention. those guys taught us all the good stuff we already knew too, ufa, kefe, etc.

uce2….hey we agree on something today.

j. higgins is still growing and could get to 6’2″ by next year. its in the genes. older bro cameron is a prime candidate for the walter payton player of the year award this year.

Oops morning Tsai-ko’s

Esme out whoooosh

bstunna2002:
I will overlook the ignorance flowing from your post re manley. i can tell you either have not played football or that you are not a former qb.

in either case, manley had better receivers and hence the state championship for leilehua and not st louis.

in terms of a qb skill sets, higgins has the better skill sets. hands down. as soon as st louis can get better receivers on the field, this will become abundantly clear to you and the rest of the state.

Liz-

The story on Funaki is embedded in the Hafoka article.

Good day everyone! Almost lunch time for me at work today. Here’s a repost from last night…

Please check the Tsai-kos in Las Vegas (Sept 2009) logistics page if you are planning on attending the UH-UNLV football game:

How fitting… we play Notre Dame in a few weeks and the trolls come out to play.

Big Ballah the problem is he was under the radar without video and no one scouted Maui or he himself and his Maui coaches did not send info to UH…unfortunately UH is probably maxed out on promised scholies a while back and already had visit commitments of 10 to the Cincy game…With Hafoka I believe UH is at 23 commitments and he like the last 3 commitments came to visit during the cincy game…its unfortunate, but not all commitments will qualify and not all commitments always sign on the dotted line so there is a last minute chance he will be a warrior…

Remember how the Advertiser had a byline strike? It looks like the Associated Press is having something similar.

The Newspaper Guild-Communications Workers of America claimed tonight that reporters and photographers at the Associated Press “are withholding bylines and personal equipment in protest over the news agency’s proposals that would threaten job security, dramatically raise medical costs, and freeze wages.”

The protests come as talks continue between AP and the News Media Guild. The union represents 1,400 editorial, technology and support staff at AP.

According to AP spokesman Paul Colford, “AP’s contract with the News Media Guild specifies: ‘An employee’s byline shall not be used over his/her protest.’

The Detroit Free Press and the Detroit News are only going to do home delivery for newspapers on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. The rest of the days people can read it online or go to a store if they want a paper copy. I wonder if either or both Honolulu papers will eventually go this route…

Detroit Media Partnership CEO Dave Hunke, publisher of the Free Press, said that starting in spring 2009, both the Free Press and the Detroit News — also operated by the partnership — would deliver to homes only on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, the heaviest days for advertising and the most popular papers for readers. But the newspapers will remain available seven days a week at stores, newsstands and coin boxes across Michigan.

Do most “solid” JC verbal commits usually sign in December? Or do they usually wait till Feb?

I loved watching Lui Fuga play! Interesting that he lives in San Diego…if I ever run into him at a local event or somewhere like L&L I’d have a lot of questions for him! I wonder if we could get him to a Calf Call at Kings or Ono Ono?

So, after tomorrow we should have less to worry about, since at least some of the JC commits will sign and there situations will have been settled.

Congrats, Mr. O!

I saw that Charlie Weis’ Island video earlier. It is a classic!

koakane: Mrs. Yonamine actually came over in 2005-06, when Mrs. Mau took her first medical leave (she’s on her second now). Mrs. Yonamine’s been at MoHS since then.

Way to go, Garret – make waves to save lives!!!

University of Hawaii Athletics receives $100,000.00 from Anheuser-Busch Sales of Hawaii.

Anheuser-Busch Sales of Hawaii announced that it has reached its goal of $100,000 in its “Get In The Game” promotion, which raised funds for University of Hawai‘i Athletics Department facility improvements. Through its statewide campaign, Anheuser-Busch donated 25 cents for every case of Budweiser, Bud Light, Bud Light Lime, and Budweiser Select it sold from August 1 through November 30 of this year, up to $100,000.

“We are very thankful to all of our local customers who decided to “Get in the Game” and support the UH Athletics Department by purchasing Bud, Bud Light or Bud Select during the UH football season. We are very proud to make this donation to help upgrade the UH athletic facilities,” Chad Hoffmeister, President and General Manager for Anheuser-Busch Sales of Hawaii, said.

“We are truly appreciative of Anheuser-Busch’s commitment to UH Athletics and its generous donation of these funds to help improve our facilities,” Jim Donovan, UH Athletics Director, said. “As a Corporate Partner, they have supported many UH causes and initiatives that have benefited all aspects of our sports programs.”

Koakane ~ Congratulations my EIS Pahtna and the Bud Lite Mr. Rolling Cooler, Cooler Rolling Man of the Year!

Serious Air Transportation Information for folks flying to Vegas for the UH/Nevada game.

Better prices with a much better arrival time in vegas. $322 one way fare. $644 RT plus the twist of the knife in your back for tax/bs/bag drag/etc.

Check it out at http://www.hawaiianair.com.

So will we be seeing Koakane’s name listed as a “Major Contributor” on the Jumbotron?

Or at the very least, Koakane should appear (as hisself) in the Rolling Cooler Man spot.

Howzit Everybody,

Been lurking a lot but am looking forward to tomorrow to see who commits out of our JC recruits. Looking forward to see whether the rumor about Chizzy for Shizzy is correct or just a rumor. It will be a very exciting day to say the least.

One question when is the date for NLOI day. I know it is in February some time but just can’t remember when. Does anybody know?

Garret,

Very impressive, congrats !

Garret . . .

Congratulations on the article!!!

Now I see where and how the suggestion was used. Yay!

A few interesting comments by interesting posters today.

Hey Wafan!

LizK . . .

At least you did not pull the long hours in labor story on Ukuboi. Or is that one being saved for a more momentous occasion?

I cannot wait for 12/24 — the Day the Earth Will Stand In Awe of the Warriors.

Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Had a bit of a scare. #2son, trying to avoid stepping on a cat who got underfoot, dropped my D-70 (Nikon) on it’s face, cracking the lens filter.

So far it looks ok. Prolly lucky it fell straight instead of putting the impact on the mount.

Oh man… how much of Call The Coach did I miss???

I tuned in at 6pm and they had the national football tonight show on instead.

You the man Garrett!

someone tell coach mack that tevita finau 6’5″ 275 4.75 (a stud d end prep at kahuku) is back on the market. he was a 4 star and recruited by everyone last year. he was committed last year to west virginia but did make grade. he will still have 3 to play 2 next year.

tonight’s news

anybody home?

howzit bighilo!! you da champ! looks like i going your island in march for sis’ wedding (finally!) 🙂

Does anyone know if there is a practice tomorrow and if yes, what time?

KymryKauai – Kekoa and others posted earlier that all practices for the Hawaii Bowl would be “closed”. But, there might still be opportunities to see/cheer for the team. 😀

Thank you to everyone for the congratulations! It is good publicity for my company and I passed the information along to the companies we’ve been discussing things with. My sponsor (the National Science Foundation) is very happy that they were mentioned!

I’m glad that the reporter included the analogy that I got from this blog. It literally is like the suggestion I got here went in the article word-for-word!

Oregon State’s #1 and #3 RBs will miss their bowl game…the #2 guy is a freshman and is the only other RB they have with experience.

A major blow to the Oregon State football team’’s running game occurred when third-string running back Jeremy Francis left the team to attend to his sick mother Marilyn Scott, OSU officials said Tuesday.

Francis, a junior, went through finals last week and returned home to Winter Park, Fla., over the weekend. How long he’ll be gone is unknown, but he won’t be available for the Sun Bowl.

Normally losing the No. 3 running back isn’t a big deal, but the Beavers are most likely without starter Jacquizz Rodgers as he recovers from a second-degree AC joint sprain.

That leaves redshirt freshman Ryan McCants as the only experienced running back on the roster.

DARPA moving to Phase III for their program for killer robots that can continue fighting even when damaged. This really does feel like the early stages of a Terminator movie…

Wirefly announced the winners of the most embarasing moments with your phone contest…the winner was walking down the aisle with her Dad during her wedding when her cell phone went off! Her ringtone of “Girls just want to have fun” didn’t help either!

bighf2…..hmmmm. ask kekoa. i think it was 20lbs.

Mahalo brew808..I must have missed those earlier posts about practices but I got it now.

kama krab…
here’s the skinny on the nli

midyear jc’ers (only) dec 17 this applies only to those jc’ers eligible to enroll in january or spring semester/trimester to a d1 program by virtue of achieving an aa degree or was previously a ncaa qualifier out of hs; colt brennan for example.

regular nli (all others) feb 4 obviously this would be everyone else.

kymrykauai ~

If you call ST – he prolly could arrange something if you are planning to be on island. Coach Mack likes to make ST think he has some media influence.

Seriously. Let him know what you have in mind, mebbe he can help.

what ever happen to Gabe Tuata is UH still looking at him.

Garret,

Congratulations on the article write up! Sounds very promising.

Sunday 6:30 Murphys. hmmmmm

ST
nice story on Shane Austin. that bradda looked super great physically this past spring practice. LWJ and he came to play looking really guud

sjmacro

howzit. you up yet?

Yesterday we got all the way up to a tropical 31.

Whoo-hoo!!!

Snow day today.

Shucks.

Add another day in June. Ugh. I hope we are open tomorrow.

I believe every school district in Western Washington is now closed for the day; or at least running a 2-hour late start schedule.

bhf2 . . .

How are you doing?!?!?! Good to see you are back after that small computer problem. Next time just show ’em who is boss and just do a Coach Mack. HA!

Left my van running 9-minutes before the windshield and doors showed a sign of thawing. Worse part is I could not enter through the front doors — they were frozen shut. I had to crawl through the back hatch.

Kind of glad I do not have to scrape the ice and snow, defrost the doors, and slip and slide my way to school. BUT, I still do not want to go to school for more days in June. Wah.

About 7″ on the ground and it is still coming down hard with compact snow and ice underneath. This is getting bad.

It will be fun to see all the clowns with SUV’s and 4-wheel drives who think they can go faster. Yep, they can! They just cannot stop any faster than the rest of us so they usually end up in a ditch.

Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

When the truckers are going slowly that should be a clue to others.

so where you exactly, wafan.

you out da door, Wafan?

bhf2 . . .

I think my computer took lessons from your old computer. HA!

Thing froze up. So I had to open another window get back in. Geez.

And, no. I am not going outside until the sun comes up — not that the temperature will go up but I will be able to see how pretty everything is!

The last time I visited Whistler was 20+ years ago during the summer. It was absolutely beautiful.

It is a good thing you are still with us after getting lost in the snow at night. Dang! Your buddy was sure “nice” guy. Not!

While you were visiting that area did you take a walk across the Capilano Bridge or visit Stanley Park/Zoo? Those are some of my favorite areas in BC. Out in Victoria I like all of the gardens and Victoria city. Ride the horse-drawn carriages for a cool tour, too!

OK, time to go over da mountain and off da cliff. Busy day at work. BBL

BHF2 ~ Let me know when you want to ski Whistler again. I get Condo there you can use. I make special price with all day pass for Gondola and lifts free if you bring your own rescue rope ladder!

Anyone going to the party honoring David Veikune at tiki’s on the 28th? I saw it on SportsHawaii. He is being honored as the Athlete of the Year!! I’m planning to take my whole Ohana.
