Early enrollment

WOW, history in the making as I am first in a very long time.

ST: re our posts yesterday on using Murakami Stadium for football practice – can or no can? why?

Kekoa:

I slow typist so lost out on being # 1 poster!!

Howzit going?

A-House ~ BTW, is your office in the Pioneer Square building? I thought I spotted you heading into the elevator one day last week.

Hiya Myki!…I’m getting ready for another “wet & wild” t-gate/game on Sat. Dug out the wafan wet weather gear.

I thought about going to practice today, but Pops has been a bit off track these past 2 days. Gotta get him healthy for the weekend, or he will not be on the T-gate travel list.

Good Morning everybody. Hope everyone has a great day.

Kekoa:

My office in the Finance Factors building across Hawaiian Tel.

SJ: Mrs and I saw you walking your “poodle” on upper Piikoi St yesterday pm.

ST

That is all that is required of parents.

ST – come on, how stupid are you?? He isn’t checking your pass, he is checking you out.

A-House,

Our “poodle” is actually a cocker spaniel who has been called poodle, dalmation and everything else. He just had a birthday and is 11 years old, blind and getting deaf. He’s a senior citizen just like his owners.

Aloha Kakahiaka! Have a great day in Hawai’i nei everyone.

Kekoa,

I liked the Raiders when Jon Gruden was coaching. The only time I made kala in Vegas on a SuperBowl was on Tampa Bay when Gruden moved over there. He reminds me of an old bf ~ my woman’s POV of football.

St,

Getting Kanekoa Texeira as a chat guest would be easier than Shane. Been trying in vain! 🙁

MeiLing

forgot to tell you mahalo for the other night, you and your sis can rock 🙂 we had so much fun, lyn has a new workout routine, it’s called
GENJI-CISE, haha…lot’s of leg kicks, deep squats, and quick hip turns…to a pulsating rhthym and melodious chanting, i mean singing…..oh what a night……sounds like a song….

myki,

duffer,

Coach Bulla ~ Good morning!

Wow, Diana and I were AWOL from what sounds like a real ‘Jail Break’ last Sat. nite! Gotta make up for it when LV comes to town.

You know the Ma’a family well enough to know cousin Lei Aloha’s husband, the leader of his band ‘The Posse.’ We’ll be spending the Thanksgiving week with this Wild Man on Maui:

http://www.branscomberichmond.com/

Now if I could only get him to headline our next Blog Anniversary Party.

kekoa,

give lei and the family our aloha, she is such a stunning person. her niece Misty is doing very well for kamehameha i believe. shoot, with her genes, she should be olympic material.

take care my brother and remember,

RING RING KALIHI RING, SWELLS THE ECHO OF OUR SONG….

will resound forever in the valleys of our forefathers……

Sing loud, Stand proud, and be Hawaiian! 🙂

gmornin’ gangy.

Get out there and grab yourself a good day!

And don’t let anyone give anything else, but!

Good morning peeps,

Lots of fun tidbits I found today on WSN (Yeah, I know they can be brutal in their opinions and comments, but you cannot deny that they are usually right in the middle of most UH sports related stuff)

With that said, sorry ST, but click my name and there was an editorial in the oddah papa, yesterday, that deals with the BoR at UHM…..VERY interesting.

Here is a supporting document? https://www.hawaii.edu/rcac/

So what? Can we go right in their offices and kick them out? Lets take Lingle to court? lol…lots of things are now coming together…..anyway

From the last blog:

Bulla: yeah, they link from ESPN that talks about Kapua said pretty much what you did. Hes got the frame, but technique and footwork needs working on.

Poof! back to work =(

XxFaithx,

i think that Timoteo and Grieg were outstanding on the OL for SL, and in the Oregon Summer Camp, they were #2 and #3 out of over 200 linemen in camp….pretty impressive. both strong, and great footwork…..oh well.

it’s like picking teams at crane park on a saturday morning….will you pick the tall guy who ‘should’ be good, or you pick the other guy who isn’t tall, but ‘might’ be good?

after the first 2 minutes you’ll know what you didn’t know…..

but john wooden said, ‘…you can teach’em to play, but you can’t teach’em to grow…’

wafan:

do you have the “model” or name or number for the Toshiba?

Bulla: I haven’t really followed the OL for STL,but I did read about Sai and Grieg a lot. I was hoping that they would play for UH (Offered scholie and or walk-on,..but in todays recruiting world, Hawai`i is a HOTBED of talent and its hard to get a “Project” to walk on due to the sheer about teams that now will offer pretty much any player here)

And I totally agree, you can’t teach height and esp for OT’s nowadays. Wish them well where ever they play….just a couple of things though….don’t bad mouth the home team and don’t forget your roots.

back to work…again…lol

brrrrrrrrrrrrrr morning and very windy plus cold too. so how all the tsai-ko kane’s and wahine’s doing?

with this high winds don’t know if its a good idea to be at d1 perch watching game 😯 put on parachute just in case bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

few moa days till the vball tourny, sball alumni season opener, spud game oh what a great weekend this is. sure great to be an 808 resident. 8) see all the tsai-kos at one of these events. whooooootahhhhhhhhhhhhh

kden read l8ts esme out

Stretch: Yes, $5 for individual game tickets.

Lit some candles in remembrance…

Lit 38 candles for Diana…I think she’s around 37 years old.

Good morning regulars, lurkers, and spammers.

Rain in the forecast for Saturday. Main thing get rain protection for the grill.

MLiz – got ya covered for Saturday.

Anyone else planning to put up Christmas lights this weekend?

Good to read recruits will be in town for the next 2 games!

GO WARRIORS

Oh, and join us at the t-gate!

hi homey- thanks! So rain in the forecast huh? We should leave our 2yr old with papa then.

Where will the t-gate be?

Visit SteveM’s site for details:

http://home.roadrunner.com/~smurashi/tsai-kos/

lilmermaid I seat high up in the yellow section, north endzone…can’t see the jumbotron but I don’t care…clear view of the entire field, no afternoon sun in the face, no rain concerns- under canopy and wind driven rain doesn’t reach the yellow section but will in the red section. The south endzone, you get the sun in your face for a short period, ask A house if the rain driven by rain reaches his yellow section in the south endzone

Ralph – wimp… 😆

Good morning/afternoon everyone

Is anyone going to the WAC volleyball tournament on Thurs. or Fri.

Mahalo, m-homey!
Looking forward to the T-Gate w/o the swamp trek this time 😆

lilmermaid

Oops…you may be disappointed if you try to buy tickets tomorrow. Please call the ticket office first (SSC or Aloha Stadium)…finding the number for the Stadium was a chore on the internet. When Kekoa and I went (separately) to the stadium on Friday afternoon, a lot of the seats for the military were gone already.

SSC Phone # 944-2697

game is at the stadium, just practice at the Stadium. student bus pass is cheap

Speaking of Seniors, if UH is blowing out any of their upcoming opponents, I’d like to see Seniors like Jake Santos, Dylan Linkner, etc. get some playing time.

J-dog: I agree, play Santos. I felt that the coaches should have used him in their QB rotation earlier in the season….he paid his dues and from all accounts, a better then decent QB.

As much as I would like to see Jake play I think they need to give as much reps to the backups as possible. They are only one play away. UH have some very important games to play. The backup has to be ready to step in. The more reps he gets the better.

When UH is romping its opponent in the bowl game then I say bring in Jake. The needs of the team come first. Sometimes players get caught up in the numbers game but the coaches have to do what is best for the team to succeed.

How long have those new green car flags been out? Ouch!!!!! $40????

Nice to hear about Billy Ray, I think he will be a great one for us. Way to go, coming in early.

Tsai-Meister, great idea about the honorary senior walk, there would be quite a few who would deserve it.

ST:

I agree with your “honorary” senior walk for Kauka and Bess – espcially for Kauka because he is here and circumstances surrounding his final appeal. This seemilingly minor gesture can go a long way in the minds of all Hawaii athlethes who are contemplating going to the mainland rather than accept a UH scholarship.

Who do we have to lobby if it is not against NCAA rules?

Billy Ray: I’m gald to see that he will enroll at UH in January 2009, get to go to his Senior Prom, and “walk the walk” with his classmates.

Mrs A-House and I were surprised at his early commitment and most happy to see that he would follow in his brother’s footsteps. We always, and still do, admire Craig for making his commitment to UH early and stuck to it knowing that his Freshman year would still be with Von Oppen.

It would be most interesting if Billy Ray would really challenge Lane for the #1 spot. Maybe Billy Ray can add 20 or more pounds of muscle before first game of the 2009 season. Hit the weight room, baby!!!

Great to hear about Billy Ray graduating early but still getting to participate in the big high school events! That is great for him, and having him in school early is great for UH.

BG – we do have the same t-gate spot and not the place with no electricity, no water, and a 2 mile hike to the restrooms??? Actually it’s not a 2 mile hike because I used al’s tree. Hopefully there’s no confusion this time cause MLiz was ready fo’ beef! She told the other cabanaer’s, “Do you know who we are”? She makes the Superferry welcoming committee look like wimps!

I would have expected Oklahoma’s football budget to be WAY above Texas Tech’s budget…so, finding out that Texas Tech spent $4.3 million more than Oklahoma over this 5-year period really was surprising!

according to information schools are required by the Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act (EADA) to submit to the U.S. Department of Education, Texas Tech outspent Oklahoma by $4.3 million to operate its football program between the 2002-03 and 2006-07 school years. An examination of the football revenues and expenses of the top 20 schools in this week’s BCS standings showed that the Red Raiders spent $77,437,091 on football during that span. Oklahoma spent $73,100,833.

100?

What’s the odds of Ball St joining the BCS bowl party?

ESPN says that Notre Dame’s chances to get Manti (who is visiting Notre Dame this weekend) are very slim.

I think it is more than a courtesy visit but I still think he’s a long shot for the Irish. There are no players from Hawaii on the Notre Dame roster while schools like UCLA and BYU have players from the Islands. I still think he’ll stay on the west coast or go to BYU.

Poor Florida State will have major problems at safety this week. They lost a senior free safety for the rest of his career when he celebrated his first career INT.

McClure injured his knee against Boston College while celebrating his first career interception. McClure slipped and landed wrong following his celebration jump with Toddrick Verdell.

homey,

Unfortunately for Ball State, the MAC’s strength of schedule is way down in the computers and in the minds of the voters. So, Ball State would need Utah and BSU to lose in order to have a shot at the BCS. This is one case where a WAC team is more respected than a team from another conference.

If anyone is *not* a fan of RGM, you probably should skip my next batch of posts. RGM’s season is over since his team was eliminated from the CFL playoffs, and I found a lot of articles about him. Calgary beat them in the playoffs and Calgary went 4-0 against RGM’s team this season, with most of those games before RGM joined BC.

Today’s 22-18 loss to the Stampeders before a sellout of 35,650 fans demonstated again why the Lions were a team that wasn’t quite there. Close, but just not good enough.

Overall, the Lions were 12-8 this year, counting the regular season and two playoff games. Four of those losses came against the Stampeders, who set in motion the first niggling doubts about the Lions’ championship worthiness with a 28-18 win in the opening game of the regular season.

With the clock ticking down, and the Lions down by four points, Pierce got a spark going when hooked up with rookie Ryan Grice-Mullen on a 36-yard pass to move the ball to B.C.’s 49-yard line. On his next play, however, Pierce made a poor read and had his pass picked off by cornerback Brandon Browner. There was1:30 left in the game, and the Lions seemed dead.

BC’s offense moved the ball well…until they got to the red zone.

Running back Stefan Logan piled up 130 yards on 18 carries, and both Ryan Grice-Mullen and Geroy Simon had 100-yard receiving games.

B.C.’s last-chance drive began with 98 seconds left on the clock and from the 13-yard-line. Grice-Mullen’s 36-yard reception on the first play of the drive made it very tense, but Browner intercepted Buck Pierce’s next toss to give the ball back to the Stamps and give them the game.

RGM’s coach specifically mentioned him as someone who has a career ahead of him.

He also mentioned wideout Ryan Grice-Mullen, running back Stefan Logan, who left the game with an injury, and special teamer Jason Arakgi as newcomers with a future.

Looks like RGM has a career set in the CFL if he doesn’t stick with an NFL team next season. Great job in earning his spot!

On Sunday, back at the team’s Surrey training facility, Buono dealt with the what-ifs but also with the what-could-be of next year. He sees a lot of tender, vibrant shoots rising from the detritus of ’08.

“Think of the young guys who’ve made an impact on this team – Logan, Buck Pierce, [Ryan] Grice-Mullen, [Jason] Arakgi, [Rolly] Lumbala, [Jerome] Dennis, [Dan] McCullough,” the coach said, listing off players who’ve had breakout or breakthrough seasons. “Those are all good young guys I believe will take another step next season. And we have a group of very good veterans. When I look at our team, I’m not going to criticize them. It’s not them [players] and us [coaches]. It’s we. We didn’t get it done. Can this team grow and get better? Definitely.”

Only 3 new players were able to earn starting jobs at BC…and RGM did it without having the benefit of training camp and having to join the team after they had played half of their season!

The Lions kicked off this season with just one new starter – quarterback Buck Pierce, who replaced Dave Dickenson – and ended it with just two more – tailback Stefan Logan and receiver Ryan Grice-Mullen. Training camp was more a series of coronations than a battle for jobs.

Forgot to mention that I saw “hubby” this past Sunday at Waipio Costco. I thought he shops at Iwilei Costco…anywhozit, I was going to say howzit but his eyes seemed preoccupied.

I wonder if he has the same look at the “gym”??

In case anyone wondered, 5 dozon eggs fit in a 3lb coffee can.

Stretch – do you have to crack open the eggs or are they hard boiled?

homey – 5 dozen cracked eggs. I also opened 18 cans of vienna sausage. I have to feed my crew breakfast on Kauai tomorrow.

homey are you bringing oysters to the t-gate this weekend?

I saw Kekoa talking about tripe stew…what the hell is this world coming to? I mean seriously people, let’s eat better parts of the animals!

😆

Stretch – A case of vienna sausage! That is one of the best local comfort foods for breakfast out there! Eggs and vienna sausage with rice. Throw in some portuguese sausage, spam, brown and serve links, and condiments of shoyu and tabasco sauce…

curveball – more worms again. This time it looks more like intestinal parasitic worms. Are you bringing a baseball glove and ball to the t-gate to play catch?

Stretch – I would rather have the vienna sausages, but then again you cracked your eggs into a coffee can and I don’t drink coffee.

After all that hanging at work yesterday, I didn’t go to sleep until 11 pm. Guess I should have gone to Call the Coach after all. Might have won the football helmet…again.

homey – did you know that one serving is 3 links, 130 calories, 110 from fat. how comforting is that??

Oxtail stew? Pigs Feet soup? Dinaguan? Mountain oysters?

homey ✝:
I will bring a glove but I will have to throw left handed..torn rotator cuff..still fun though..I think I will bring some watermellon..creative huh..

curveball – shoots! I’ll go look for my glove and I also will throw left handed! I will also provide the baseball.

Ronnie – Are you like Rob25 in food selection? If so then I guess we have to get safe foods when you come to the t-gate.

#139

he was getting cracks all night on that stupid play SL kept calling. they bring billy ray back across for the screen to the middle, and who is the Puns middle LB? exactly…..i saw dr. oishi down there on the sideline with him and they were icing it, then they put a wrap on it.

he was all busted up, but the season is over, and now on to bigger and better things with the Warriors. billy ray will light it up……and he’ll be ready come fall season.

GO WARRIORS
GO WILDCATS (X2)

homey ?:
Funny I just had liver for lunch..but I did cook it in chili pepper water..yum..do we have the good cabana for sure this time???

curveball – If we don’t have the old spot then I can bring a fungo bat and hit you some fly balls!

Good to see Bailey getting some playing time. Here’s hoping Bailey has a great game.

homey [underground]:

If it rains we can practice sliding..bring extra clothes

curveball – I may pass on the sliding because that means we have to have a running start and I don’t think beer and running mixes well.

Nuff said (as al would say)…Rob25 ain’t eating it!

So I was thinking about who the defensive player of the year was when Kealoha was OPOTY. It was B.J. Beatty and he plays at Colorado. Does anyone know how he has been doing since he’s been there? Is he an impact player?

Rob25 – I think he plays LB and does get some playing time. Not the Impact player yet…we’ll see the next 2 years.

Homey-

I miss those MMA Blog Slug Fests between Guava and Cool Ethan. Was crazy but they both got into it!

😆

A-joe: Love, love, love it!!! Thanks for that.

A-joe – You are so right about going back to the old way of doing the Senior Walk…it was a walk around the stadium…and then all the fans got a chance to say thank you and good luck. I was a little disappointed the last couple of years because you didn’t really get a chance to just say thanks…without having to pay $20.

Kekoa – That is why Mrs. A-House is my angel!

Sorry had to shudder a little when I read your post. 😳

addahknowjoe:
Dont know if you saw yesterdays post but SLIDER thanks you for his blog name

Curveball-

Please tell Slider he is most welcome! =)

According to an article at the UH website all softball games at the Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium are free. Can’t beat that. I think they will have a very good team this year.

howzit tsai-ko’s

just sat down and began catching up on blog. hit with all the talk about fuuuuud especially the Filipino stuff. skipped school lunch cause spaghetti 😕 neva look to good. now really hungry so taking a detour and heading straight to thelma’s with the fam tonight 😀

# Stephen Tsai: re: Senior Walk. I brought it up once, but the problem is that the credit union also buys advertising on K5. I just think they should pass out the plaques at the banquet. it’s ridiculous that the players get smothered, and all of those people with field passes mob the seniors before they can greet the fans. With 32 seniors this year, and a 6:30 p.m. kickoff, it could be a long night.

stsai I agree cu should have this ceremony at banquet. this should be for the fans and players. family and fans want to appreciate each senior and their contributions to the program. btw how much money is K5 getting anyway?

Bulla,
Don’t even go there! with the Field Turf at SLS! 🙄

d1…DMHS graduation is same way…all the clean cut boys (men) in their tuxes..either black or white…with the mauve and gold lei…and singing the alma mater ….awesome…..

james coming early sat? to the tgate I mean just in case rob25, stretch, homey and bulla lurking.

whoa coach tsai….i heard the tail end of your interview on 1500. never knew you were coaching a team? although i guessed it to be a basketball team at the mission.

good stuff.

good to see ronnie doing well.
sad to think that robbie won’t try some dinaguan.
(maybe we can tie her down and force feed her)
homey brings glove. son wants to know if you can catch a little pen for him?

finally,
so yah, just where is the tailgate this week?
cabana ‘a’
richies field pavillion 1, 2, 3
or area 51?

no forget bring your galoshes.

i was talking to a guy with much knowledge and wisdom about football, uh football, recruiting, and stuff in general. he said manti was there at the last two warrior games.

not reading into this at all, but, still get chance.

realistically anything is possible in love, war, and recruiting. it ain’t over until the fat lady sings.

many a recruit have changed their minds come signing day. after all you never know just what may sway the decision in another direction. that happens, and when it does no matter which direction any young man takes we all need support our sons of hawaii.

…nuff said.

WarriorMojo,

Dats what I recall, too.

How you been? Long time, eh?

al,

If not Mojo, then how about Waipahu’s newest millionaire?

Jessica Agbunag, of Waipahu, Hawaii, never thought that she would become an instant millionaire during her first visit to Las Vegas but, late yesterday, November 18, she did. After investing only $16, the 24-year- old hit a $2,436,465 Wheel of Fortune® dollar MegaJackpot® at the California Hotel and Casino.

Things will be great when you’re Downtown!

Good neighbor, when are you going to tell us the names of the 5 recruits who will be visiting UH for the Idaho game?

Would rather read that on this venue rather than the Saturday morning paper.

Pomai:

It’s great the Billy Ray is able to get his high school completed eraly and spend time with the team during the Spring. It will really allow him to get further ahead than he already is. He was particpating in the unsupervised workouts during the summer catching passes from the QB’s.

One thing about graduating early. It is good for the team to have the players out there gaining experience but I think it is also important for the student to do his Senior year activities like the prom and commencement. If there are more local players who can do graduate early, it would be good but wouldn’t recommend it for players from the mainland. The local guys are still “home” and can attend those special activities that will never occur again for them.

We were without power 4 hours this morning in Upper Kalihi Valley….3rd time in 3 weeks

CC – you sure you didn’t pull a ST and not pay the bill??

ST don’t pay any of his bills unless someone reminds him, just like taking his meds.

tonight’s news from st. louis
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lRnebP-YB0

thats what i thought too. i was hoping to get sideline vids from the skins/boys game this past sunday.
again, lucky them.

The Eight Worst Convenience Foods
According to some guy on the mainland
His # 1 is a good seller in Hawaii, but I’ll pass on #6
I thought of this list when someone mentioned Filipino foods

8. Meeter’s Kraut Juice (Stokely USA): Yes, that’s sauerkraut juice, which is even worse than it sounds. The taste and smell can be a bit, well, harsh, but KJ is reputed by its fans to have medicinal benefits (as a source of vitamin C, cure for intestinal bugs, etc.), which adds up to a classic case of the cure being worse than the disease.

7. Guycan Corned Mutton with Juices Added (Bedessee Imports): The best thing about this Uruguayan canned good is the very pouty-looking sheep on the package label — he seems to be saying, “Go on, eat me already.” The second-best thing is the presence of both “cooked mutton” and “mutton” in the ingredients listing, which would seem to have all the mutton bases covered.

6. Armour Pork Brains in Milk Gravy (Dial Corp.): If you’re really looking to clog up those arteries in a hurry, you’ll be pleased to learn that a single serving of pork brains has 1,170 percent of our recommended daily cholesterol intake. All the more ingenious, then, that the label on this product helpfully features a recipe for brains and scrambled eggs.

5. Sweet Sue Canned Whole Chicken (Sweet Sue Kitchens, Inc.): From its size (think growth-impaired Cornish hen) to its overall appearance (it’s stewed in a quivering mass of aspic goop), this product may change forever your idea of what constitutes a chicken. Gives new meaning to the old line about meat “falling off the bone.”

4. Musk Life Savers (Nestle Confectionery): You may think musk is a scent, but over in Australia, they think it’s a candy flavor. A candy flavor that tastes disturbingly like raw meat, to be precise. But what did you expect from a country where everyone happily consumes Vegemite?

3. Blind Robins Smoked Ocean Herring (recently discontinued by Bar Food Products): Possibly the world’s most bizarre prepackaged tavern snack. Interestingly, the product’s titular robin isn’t actually blind, he’s blindfolded — the better, presumably, to avoid looking at these heavily salted herring strips, which look like giant slugs.

2. Kylmaenen Reindeer Pate` (Kylmaenen Oy): This Finnish canned good may not be particulary tasty, but at least it answers the age-old question of why Rudolph was so eager for that safe, steady job on Santa’s sleigh team — he didn’t want to end up as a cracker spread.

1. Tengu Clam Jerky (Tengu Co.): Nothing you’ve ever consumed can prepare you for the horror that is clam jerky. Still, this product does score a sort of conceptual coup: If you’re the sort who’s always found raw clams too slimy and gelatinous for your taste, these dried, shriveled mollusks will help you dislike clams on a whole new level

The BCS folks decided to make an exception to their rule where only 2 teams per conference can make the BCS. This is bad for non-BCS conference teams, as it gives a way for the BCS to avoid having to invite 2 non-BCS conference teams. The scenario is unlikely, but it is possible…

There is a remote chance this year that Missouri could win the Big 12 title with two losses and two one-loss schools from the Big 12 South could end up No. 1 and No. 2 in the BCS standings.

So what gives?

“There would be three [Big 12] teams in that case,” BCS spokesman Bill Hancock confirmed Wednesday.

In this scenario, one-loss USC could get knocked all the way to the Holiday Bowl if Oregon State earns the Rose Bowl bid.

The Big 12 would then have two of the four available at-large bids while a non-BCS school figures to earn another with a top-12 finish. That would leave only one at-large spot left.

If Florida suffers a second loss, to Florida State, but then hands a first loss to Alabama in the SEC title game, and the Crimson Tide fell to only No. 3 in the BCS standings, USC would get locked out of a BCS bid.

Looking at the BCS conference situation, the best scenario for the WAC and UH would be for Utah and BSU to win out. Then, both would be eligible for BCS selection and both would need to be taken if there weren’t enough other teams. The other thing that would need to happen is for Oregon State to lose, which could happen in the Oregon game.

Right now, the 4 at-large BCS spots are:

One team from the Big 12 (Oklahoma, Texas Tech, or Texas, one will be invited in addition to whoever is the Big 12 champion)

Florida or Alabama (one will be SEC champion, one will be invited to a different BCS bowl)

USC

Utah or BSU (if Utah loses to BYU)

If Oregon State loses a game, USC would be the automatic team from the Pac-10 and none of the other conferences might have a team rated high enough to be eligible, since the SEC and Big 12 already have their quota of 2. In that scenario, Utah *and* BSU make BCS bowl games and UH gets $650k or so.

Fo real… gotta grind. bbl.

Howzit Liz! Got your new dish today? I’d be interested in your review of DishTV HD. We’re thinking about switching, but according to HawTel, we can’t get DSL, so we can’t ditch Oceanic just yet.

Jm,
I disagree, doggie farts are just air with microscopic, aromatic particles in them.
And what are farts after all, but proof that we exist, just little toots in the darkness, tiny pockets of stinkiness that waft in and out of our noses.
If not for doggie farts, whom could I point the finger and say “the dog did it”?

oops, off to catch the last few matches of sumo, be back l8er

d1…..what?

another waipahuan hits the beeeg one.

gee, i met another waipahu lady who hit it big some few years ago. worst is, she still lived in her humble abode. no fancy stuff except her mercedes benz which she already owned prior to hitting the millions. oh btw, she could afford the benz cuz she is also a doctor.

no fair yah.

get well dr doc.

life is too precious to rush in to anything right now. take it slow. do the exercise.

i’ve been loyal.

Rest up DrDoc and WassupDoc. WDoc – your main responsibility now is to take care of your hubby. Please let the other stuff go for now. A caregiver cannot give care if they themselves are not well.

Al – I’m loyal too.

jm2375- Dish network has worked well for us. The HD in Hawaii is limited right now but while I was eating some rice with furukake, konbu, shoyu chili peppers and fermented tofu, I watched the highlights of the Redskins/Cowboys game and it looked very nice- even on our modest 37″ Toshiba 😉

Price-wise you are probably better off staying with Oceanic. HawnTel is pretty shaky right now.

MissingUHFootball- good points. btw- I see Mike Tresler through work every now and then 😉

las vegas….i guess you have seen me eat.

ST is Mouton’s move to safety because E rob’s hammy or is it because the safeties have been torched by speedy receivers
