Miano will answer questions posed on this blog and the show’s Cover It Live Section.
Please join us.

Ran into Rodney Bradley yesterday. He is walking without crutches or a limp, and although he should be healthy for spring training, a more reasonable timetable is the start of training camp. Here he is striking a Gap ad pose:

In case Kazz has not announced it, yesterday was the opening of training camp for the Rainbow Wahine softball team. Here are Stephanie Ricketts and Melissa Gonzalez:

And, folks, you need to watch Kelly Majam play this year:

So, I’m at Windward Mall with my son yesterday, killing time — uh, I mean, doing research on the energy-and-effect of sugar products — when I stumble into Price Busters. And they sell classic candy, such as:
1st?
I second that Hoohiki! 😆
2nd?
Good morning!
Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Morning ST, DPK and Hoohiki.
WooHoo top 10! Good Morning Tsaikoland. Hope everyone has a good Tuesday.
G’morning, jm2375, DPK,djmitcho. Have a wonderful day!
Aloha Coach Miano,
Could you discuss the reasoning behind why our corners are often yielding a good amount of space between themselves and opposing receivers in short yardage siutations? It appears to be zone coverage in 3rd and short situations as opposed to what some would assume should be man to man coverage.
I am jonesin for some Warrior football!
Go Warriors!
are all the greyshirts enrolled full-time this semester?
Iosefa, Lister, Loeffler, Malepeai and Manu?
^#10 is a
oops
#10 is a Q for miano
***Women’s volleyball tidbit***
Heard Scott Robs say that due to the retirement of Coach Andy B at UCLA, setter Lauren Cook will transfer to Nebraska and play for her dad after all and Amanda Gill supposedly is looking to transfer to UH.
Morning everyone!
Aloha Kakahiaka!
Coach Miano- can you tell us any news about the Warriors who have applied for an extra year of eligibility?
Coach Miano,
Am asking this question in you position as Associate head football. Why does the quarterback have to run to the sidelines to get the plays? Can’t the plays be sent in using the receivers or running backs? This would help rotate the players and keep them fresh.
Do collegiate rules prohibit the use of transmitters in the QB’s helmets?
Hey -top 20!!!
Good morning Hawaii!
Wonder how much a wireless helmet ala NFL QBs would cost???
I think Iowa uses that system.
Wonder why it’s not used more in the NCAA, even with programs that can afford it?
How many more walk-on/non-scholarship players will be starting in this upcoming season?
Tommui,
You thinking on the same wave-length as I am sir!!!
I could have sworn I saw Iowa’s QB with that “lightning bolt” decal on his helmet indicating that his helmet is wireless, much like the NFL’s one.
Not sure but I don’t think you can use a wireless helmet in college.
rich miano,
thus far, it seems that we are short on defensive back recruits.
i know that we are coming down to the wire and it is apparent we have only secured a verbal from just one defensive back where as we should be bringing in at least four every year.
are we still in the hunt for more defensive backs this year?
i heard that kelly majam was the real deal.
KAZZ: Re: #20 Great minds run in the same channels – or is that gutters?
Still have my bobbing Warrior on top of the TV set!!!
rich
do you foresee any new impact guys come spring training??
and will
the walking wounded return to the lineup this year such as david hafoka?
Coaches too accustomed to all that Motorola wireless technology in the NFL must have a bit of techno shock when trying to coach at the college level.
Coach Miano:
Associate HC question – is the Warrior QB allowed to change a play at the line of scrimmage? Explain.
aloha coach miano,
i know its still very early on, but can you give us some insight on the projection of the O-Line and D-Line? talent wise and numbers wise (enough big bodies) do we have enough on both sides to be “SOLID”? starters and depth wise, do we have enough that our O-Line and D-Line will be much improved from last season? thanks
If I were Rolo, I’d call the plays to Moniz via interpretive dance. 😆
Coach Miano:
Associate HC question – UH does not usually substitute receivers as many other teams do – why? It would keep the starters fresh and allow the subs valuable playing time for the future.
Does anyone have any Iowa connections that could clarify if Iowa did in fact use the wireless technology? That would seem to be an unfair advantage if everyone doesn’t have access to it.
Brah, during the fall games against Chaminade, she hit a solo homer that almost made it over that net in the outfield. I think she was aiming for the law library. 😯 … Then again, when it says you averaged .700+ hitting in your senior year in high school, something like that shouldn’t be so shocking. 😎
Transfer Jenna Rodrigues looked pretty good in the pitching game too.
What position is Joey Iosefa projected to compete at? Safety?
Coach Miano,
What will it take for our team to play as disciplined and as solid a defense as Boise does, game after game, season after season?
Coach Miano,
What more does the UH Athletic Department and Football Program need to win the battle in recruiting among Mid-major teams?
From the 2009 NCAA Football Rule Book:
Prohibited Signal Devices
ARTICLE 8. Players are prohibited from being equipped with any electronic, mechanical or other signal devices for the purpose of communicating with any source (Exception: A medically prescribed hearing aid of the soundamplifier type for hearing-impaired players).
Aloja Kakahiaka! (Koakane-style)
Good to see Rodney Bradley up & about without crutches. Continued healing to all of our Warriors.
I wish they would sell shaved ice at the softball games!!!
Coach Miano,
Last season was the first season of the “Tormey and Miano” coaching combination. How would you say this turned out and have you as coaches gotten the results you expected out of the DBs last season?
Oops!
Guess Ronnie answered our questions! 🙂
I guess I saw wrong then. But the what the Iowa QB had on his helmet looked like that “Wired” decal the NFL QBs wear to signify their helmets are “wireless”… Well to me at least… Then again, I am colorblind… 😆
Slugger,
Shave ice would be a BIG seller at the softball and baseball games!!!
Thing is… At the softball stadium it tends to be very windy and cold. Well, “cold” by Hawaii standards. I swear it’s like a dang wind tunnel out there sometimes. Especially if you are sitting on the 3rd base side and facing the wind.
As ST recommended, the chili is always a good choice!
Coach
Puhleeeze comment on how Lori and the kids are doing.
When S&Quickness first started, Betty and I walked down from Chaminade to help Lori with the registration and I’d go out to pick up the Subway sandwiches. All stopped during 4 yr mobilization. Met up with Trey at Schofield.
Please know that you always have die hard supporters amongst the Tsaikos! Give a hi-5 to Rolo for us…just tell him “garlic butter shrimp”.
BG and Betty
aka Randy and Betty Hiraki
With all the pics of the candy up there, it reminds me:
What happened to “Big League Chew”?
Good Morning Tsaikos…
Hey ST, what about Chico Stix???
Just caught up with yesterday’s blog…
I want to offer my deepest condolences and prayers to Lorna and the Pang Ohana. May LTUHFan rest in peace.
Kazz, I didn’t even know it was a lightning bolt on the QB helmet. I just thought it was a green sticker… Or was it yellow?…
Never heard of lemon head, but I have had “SUPER LEMON” back in the day!!!
Man those things kicked your okole!!!
(Sighs) A trip to the mom and pop Korean store ends with a fistful of super lemon candy, a few stink bombs and a a couple of “bomb bags” and your afternoons were set!!! Hehehehehehehehe… I miss the hanabata days… 🙁 Life was so much simpler…
Such a beautiful day! Good morning Kazz, Ronnie, JJ, Slugger!!!
Ronnie,
Its more like a light green sticker with a lightning bolt logo on it.
Mornin’ BG!
Coach Miano,
What improvements would you like to see with our strength and conditioning program? New routines? More funding? More emphasis on stretching before practices and games along with post game/practice routines?
Horlick’s made in Malaysia?!?!?@#!!…Das Criminal!
Used to luv em back in da small kid days. Haven’t seen them in ages. Calls for a trip to the Buster’s at Kapolei. Hope they got em there too.
Howzit BG and Betty..Hope U guys neva get blasted this past eve.
Coach Miano,
As an associate head coach, could you describe the BIGGEST challege the staff had all season long in 2009 outside of the lengthy six game losing streak?
Okay, so, question:
Since they do need our support; What’s the best way to turn someone into a fan of the Rainbow Wahine basketball team ?
Um, just watch the U-H men play a game.
Is it me, or is this worst but talented team you’ve ever seen ? Rainbow Warriors seemingly have players.
Rod Flemings, well at least last seasons Flemings and without the stupid looking gold shoes, that kid could play.
Dwain Williams, seems like a “head” case, but his scoring stretch during the Diamond Head Classic proved he could play.
Jeremy Lay, not bad.
Petras Balocka, he had a 20 / 20 game earlier this season, nuff said.
Paul Campbel put together what, three consecutive 14-point performances.
I don’t get it.
How in the hell do they lose a WAC game by 44-points, worst conference loss in U-H history ?
Hate to say it because for so many years he’s been the right guy, a nice guy, but it’s a question that really does need to be asked….Is Bob Nash the right guy to be head coach of the Rainbow Warriors ?
Right now, it doesn’t look like it.
By the way, are any of the players on this or last years team a Larry Farmer recruit ? Just wondering if he’s pulling his weight.
Mr. Miano:
First off, I’m a long time fan of Rich Miano. From back in the day at Kaiser, to all you accomplished at U-H and through your longtime run as an NFL safety. I love and more importantly respect what you stood for. Hard work, hard work and hard work. I mean from walk-on, to all WAC to NFL draft pick…whew, MUCH respect.
However, and here’s my question:
Please explain to us how in God’s name local high school standouts like Andrew Manley, Hauoli Jamora, Seali’i Epenesa, Kona Schwencke and Beau Yap, get absolutely NO love from U-H.
Manley gets a take-it-or-leave-it or first-come-first-offer, Warriors are LAST on the Jamora trail, Epenesa has NEVER, NEVER been contacted by U-H, and Yap, well, he’s been invited to visit and might be asked to be an invited walk-on. Serious ?
Isn’t the goal to recruit the BEST the state has to offer ?
Are these not the BEST the state has to offer ?
I would appreciate your response.
Question for Coach Miano,
What can we do in terms of coverages / strategy to nullify UNLV’s fade routes / throws to the extremely tall / athletic wide-outs. There are other teams that may also use that play against us & that was a back-breaker in terms of keeping drives alive as well as actual scores. Cost us the UNLV game last season.
Coach Miano,
Do you envision yourself as a head coach in the future?
Questions for Coach Miano,
1)Who do you think are the front-runners at Corner for us?
2) Do you think Dee Maggitt (coming from high school) can absorb the system
quickly enough to compete for PT or will he likely red-shirt to do that?
guys please bear in mind that any coach cannot refer to specific recruit by name until feb 3, 2010 if and when they do sign and submit nli.
Hi BG!
(sorry, I was at lunch when I saw your greeting)
OUCH!!!!

My favorite candy is Babe Ruth. I think it is steroid free.
Coach Miano
By position could you list UHs recruiting goals for each one this year? Do you think they will be met?
Hi, BG! and Mrs. BG!
Howww youuuuu?
The pic of the Malties above… closest thing to the Horlicks malted tablets they used to sell at Long’s. Brought some back from Thailand. sigh……
RONNIE: re 336 – thanks for the info.
I love it when the url of a story gives you a little summary!!! 😆
in case anyone is interested in usc’s search for a football coach —
JACKSONVILLE (AP) — Jack Del Rio says he will remain as coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars after a meeting with team owner Wayne Weaver.
Hi everyone! Gotta run to a meeting and will miss the show…but will catch the re-run.
Enjoy this day and remember our Ohana who need our prayers. Imua
Help, Help!
Trying, with great difficulty, to place Amanda Gill who is currently with UCLA and who “may” transfer to UH since her coach will be retiring.
Local girl, I think?
A-House,
I thought UH was *one* of Gill’s options? Would be nice if we are her only option.
A-House…
Amanda Gill… 6’5” | MB | Archbishop Mitty (San Jose, Calif.)
How do they split scholarships up in Volleyball?
What does a 1/2 scholarship entail?
Can they do the same in football?
How does our defensive 2ndary look like this year?
Apparently rumors of a transfer to Stanford for Gil are now surfacing…
Coach Miano,
Thanks for your time here on chat.
Q: Could you clarify our recruiting strategy, specifically does Hawaii EXCLUSIVELY recruit players with Polynesian elasticities and/or Hawaii ties or do we go for the best candidates regardless of their heritage or ties?
Thanks!
ST,
Like in football, is there a NCAA limit on how many hours a program has for training camp in softball?
First game is like Feb 10th or 11th right?
regarding scholarship players,
in your evaluation of a player, what happens when a scholarship player does not develop and continues to be marginal in the classroom? aren’t scholarships only good for one year?
Is it just me or does someone need to change their name to “eh no make A”? Cuz…das exactly wat dey jus did! nice job brah!
EXCELLENT SHOW TODAY!!!
MAHALO!!!
Thank you Coach Miano for being upfront and candid and taking the time to answer our questions..
Great show today..I couldn’t get a lick of work done though..
the replay is super choppy. anything being done to fix this?
kazz first wsball game is 2/11
ditto lizk comment on tsai and wai show.
mahalo to cmiano on his answers to the question and for being candid as he was.
Aiyah! Choppy at the end of the Live WB show & now on replay. Wonder if the streaming of Hillary’s speech will interfere with this replay?
btw lono manners was #15
Thanks, guys for the Amanda Gill info.
It would be tough competing against Stanford for her VB services, but you never know what a player is thinking.
#73,
too late for this but it was supposed to be *ethnicities*…..spellcheck =(
Steve Mariucci may be leading candidate for USC job….makes sense
One of my predictions 🙂
*click my name for link to article*
Even the replay is un-watchable
After all this time, wonder why the “techies” cannot fix the problems encountered?
Does location, equipment used, etc matter?
repeat just ended… I suppose that means it’s about to start up again?
Hmm… how odd that the replay is so jerky compared to the live which was relatively smooth.
Hello Gang….back from a few days in Vegas for the CES (electronics)show. Hot new item is 3-D TV. How’d you like to see Papa L, the princess & ST in 3-D? Hmmm….
ST – nice research on energy food. BTW, Margo sent me the front page article you wrote on JJ. Very, very good. It’s interesting he really wasn’t interested in a huge salary, but rather to use the cash for upgrades.
just watched the chat replay.
i am now a fan of coach rich miano.
anyone who calls me a “young man”, well, i’m in his corner.
i thought coach miano was very candid and open today; he’s good on his feet and communicates well.
looking forward to a great Spring Ball session.
GO WARRIORS 🙂 🙂 🙂
i hope the tekkies fix that choppiness in the delivery of the show. its been what two years now???
al,
you young man you…………………….
latest espn rumor —–
Lane Kiffin to coach usc.
If any of you could be head coach of a Div I football team which one would it be and why?…..Hawaii is not an option haha.
My pick is Texas. Tradition, Talent, Resources and Huge faithful fan base. Not to mention they have the best logo in college football.
That and I like burnt orange for some reason.
ai-eee-soos,
I knew USC would be dishing out some big bucks, but they must be prepared to shell out some REALLY big bucks.
The cost to bring over not only Lane but his “defense god” of a father and Ed Orgeron is going to cost them $$$$$$$.
Interesting choice for sure and Ed Orgeron back at USC is only going to mean some killer recruiting classes for sure….
I don’t know what the starting salary they are going to offer Kiffin will be but if its in the $4M range we might be looking at a $8-10M+ (including bonuses) cost for the entire coaching staff (O_O)
USC knows it’s football program is a cash cow. In these austere times they need to make sure that money stream doesn’t skip a beat.
re #98
Yup, but USC got plenty kala.
imo, USC is a pro franchise.
espn cable 23 is spinnimg, spinning this story – overkill.
#100,
basically a pro-franchise for sure. they are the 2nd biggest tv market in the US. phew thats big bucks.
for Lane to leave Tenn after just being hired must mean the buyout is pretty heft too.
Peterson has apparently been approached by USC since Del Rio’s withdrawal. I would think getting Peterson to USC might not be AS DIFFICULT as some may think. He doesn’t like the east coast and has turned down offers in the past but not from a marque school in the west. The article I link to discusses why Peterson might leave. I know Stephen Tsai mentioned his child with the special needs but LA has some really good private schools that specialize in kids with disabilities.
Then again if he does come back to Boise fully loaded with talent up the butt he could make a run for the National Champ and at the very least another BCS game making him even more palatable for coaching jobs in the future should he choose to move on.
Hmmm if you were AD Mike Garret who would you pursue the hardest amongst the “rumored” front runners? Mariucci, Kiffin, Peterson…?
oops heres the Peterson to USC link
*click on name*
What amazes me is they go from one cheater to another. What a joke, they think money can buy anything.
Ho,
I don’t know if I saw this correctly but has Kona Schwenke decommitted from BYU. I just took a glance at Doris’s website and she does show Kona as a commit anymore. Does anybody have any info on this.
Al you got anything.
Man I wish we had a couple more scholarships left on top of the five or so that was already mentioned. Looks like there are a couple of high profiled kids opening up there recruitment again.
Oh well I definitely trust the coaches through all the madness to make the right desicions and to figure out a strategy to there recruiting for years to come.
Yay for Bradley!
Wahine looking good!!!
Mrs. A-House . . .
Thank you for the package. What a nice and special treat! That was a lot of fun.
and, 2nd Century!
Regarding the choppy playback on the replay:
We have an open trouble ticket with our streaming provider.
The live broadcast and replay are housed on different systems. Hopefully this is fixed soon.
Thanks.
wow – espn BOMBSHELL -NORM CHOW to USC as OC under Lane Kiffin.
espn cable 23.
WOW…………that is one STACKED coaching staff!!!
This whole USC thing is just crazy. Good luck to whoever is crazy enough to take the job. Sanction are a comin.
I bought some of the old Flicks (something like a Hershey’s kiss inside a tube) candy at Don Quixote. Just didn’t taste like I remembered. Probably cause my tongue is now old.
manoa mist,
not old, just older 🙂
Does anyone know what the buyout is going to be for Kiffin and even Chow?……My understanding is that Chow was on a contract with UCLA for 3 years worth around $1.5M + Incentives.
Pomai,
I hear ya! But I gotta say if Hawaii had the money I would welcome with open arms and leis at the airport to get that staff.
It’s chalk filled with big name big time coaches.
I really wonder how sanctions are going to affect USC if/when they come.
It’ll also be interesting to see Chow revamp the offense and get back to the passing game a little more.
Looked up the buyout on Kiffin. *click name for article*
Apparently USC will be paying $800,000 for his buyout. (don’t know how reliable these numbers are)
Is it just me or is that not a lot of money?
Who would have thought that it would be cheaper to buy out an SEC coach than a WAC coach. Truth is stranger than fiction.
i had the chance to see dee maggitt in person and trust me we got a diamond in the rough. he attended the 7 on 7 camp with a partially fractured ankle and still held his own against some of the nations elite players. his only knock is he has never been timed in the 40 but im gonna go on film and in person sightings he shut down taz and locked down his side of the field in the aloha prep bowl 7 on7 and those receivers are all 4 and 5 star recruits…diamond in the rough people!!!!
the 7 on 7 in vegas last spring to be exact
I hope they have all the biggest egos in coaching at USC when they play UH on opening day… hopefully their egos will all get in the way and we hit them on their blind side.
Chris Peterson to Tennessee? According to a Vols publication, he will be in Knoxville Thursday to Interview.
More proof that life is fair for only a few…
How can USC lose PC (bad situation) then turn it around and get Monti AND Chow AND Orgeron….
I mean honestly at this rate the school might as well embrace any NCAA sanctions because it might come with a billion dollar endowment from some guy for the football program feeling sorry for them….
so unfair.
Just got off a 40 minute conversation with our volleyball guru 808ike regarding what the possible outcomes of this Amanda Gil situation may be for us ane what may need to be done.
Will post detailed stuff later tonight. 😎
WenatcheeWarrior,
Can you please provide the link? Thanks!
Dang. Where did the time go?
No wonder. I just checked the Tennessee football Wikipedia page and they had Chris Peterson as head coach.
redzone,
just checked it…thats hilarious!
A fan has spoken I guess. haha.
I wonder what would happen if PC said wait I just changed my mind.
Kifen resigns at tennessee. unbelievable!!!
I wonder if we’ll be recruiting Schwenke now that he’s decommitted from BYU, cmon Coaches open that Kahuku Pipeline a little more!
On an upside the first game we play and USC will play will be Hawaii.
The nation will have their eyes on this game to see what the season might be like for USC.
The Warriors might have their best chance ever at beating USC with all of the change ups.
***RE: Amanda Gil and UH speculation***
After speaking at length with 808ike the possibility of Amanda Gil taking up residence at UH Manoa and joining the legacy of Rainbow Wahine Volleyball has some obstacles.
First, Gil will be a junior in 2010. Supposedly her choice of a transfer, as well as her parents is Stanford. However, there appears to be some sort of PAC 10 transfer rule in which the transferee will lose a year of eligibility and then 8 of the 10 schools will need to approve of this transfer.
UH has ZERO scholarships to offer Gil, UNLESS a current middle blocker on schollie will have theirs taken away. Brittany Hewitt??? Alexis Forsythe??? Kristina Tuaniga??? Incoming freshman Emily Hartong is obviously on scholarship, but the possibility of offering her a grayshirt deal for the 2010 season is another route. HOWEVER… UH only has two scholarships to offer in the 2011 season. IF this reneging Hartong to a grayshirt deal is done without exploring taking one away from a current Wahine, then it leaves 2011 with ONE scholarship.
Apparently Gil got her release from UCLA. Most likely she will remain at UCLA for the spring semester otherwise a transfer now would result in her sitting out a year.
STAY TUNED!!!!!!
At 6’6″ and being one of the best middles in the game today, Gil would be a great steal.
interesting to note that BSU may start the preseason as the #2 team in the nation.
wahine vb finishes just shy of the top and now they have “problem” with possible transfer. hoooooo, am sure coach shoji just loves this kind of headache!!!!
but when you think about the possiblilities of wvb next season if she was able to transfer to uh, you are looking at the “Queen Of The Hill” title.
Apparently there is a ***RUMOR*** that Amanda Gil will be visiting UH during the next home Warrior volleyball match.
She did get her release from UCLA.
Again, this is NOT confirmed.
What is confirmed is I will be making a LARGE sign for her just in case… 😉
After a season-ending injury last year, good to see that Kelly Majam doesn’t need the assistance of a brace over her knee. Well, at least in that photo.
ST,
Got any speculation as to the probable starters for the Wahine softball team?
CF – Majam
RF – Pu’u-Warren
LF – Aguirre
C – Grimes
1st – Tauali’i
2nd – Pagaduan
3rd – Gonzalez
SS – Yoshikawa
P – Ricketts/Rodriguez/Parnaby
With Monti Kiffin’s “Cover 2” defensive scheme it will be interesting to see USC being able to defend more spread offenses.
I wonder where the puts the RnS?
anything being done to correct the problem with the WBS?
Wahine Basketball Alumnae Game is at 5pm this Saturday before the Wahine take on Nevada at 7pm.
Guess they won’t be playing 2 full halves… 😯
Thanks for the great info, saved me alot of work.
Notre Dame. But, I am a minority and we’ve seen what happens… (nevermind, I better be quiet on this one…)
If Amanda Gill agrees to visit UH at the next MVB game, then Coach Shoji should be working on a plan on how the few scholarships available will be spread out to accommodate her, current players, and 2010 recruits; what a nice dilemma to be faced with!!.
I would think that he is already working on it just in case; after all, it will only be a plan, but a well developed plan.
This is something that Coach Mack needs to do, now, just in case more top tier local talent decides to stay home and he does not have enough scholarships available. Taking away a scholarship is not easy, it will hurt, but should be included in any recruiting plan drawn up by the coaching staff based upon the contribution(s) of each player – team, school, community, and off-season work regimen. And, each recruit/player must be told up front that the possibility of losing the scholarship is based on their contribution to the team.
Will this scare away some recruits? Absolutely yes, but those who commit are those the coaching staff will not have to worry about for academics and team.
#143,
haha. just out of curiosity i wonder how many Asian American coaches at the “Coordinator” level or higher currently coach in Div-I football?
I only know of Chow.
Any others?
iwonderwhytheyhateme:
If I could be a head coach? Wherever they pay the most. I’d be fired in a year and have to settle for the buyout which will have to serve as my retirement benefits…ahhhh… poor me.. poor me…
Lee brothers.
#144
A-House,
I am sure UH takes away scholarships and gives them to other kids who are deemed “more deserving” of them.
It’s gotta be a difficult balance to think about what’s best for your program and being sensitive to what really are high school kids.
However when push comes to shove the coaches have only one thing to remember when it comes to recruiting…..whether you break a few hearts or not it doesn’t matter, you do what you gotta do to get the best talent. Quite frankly if that means you renig on a scholarship you promised, so be it.
#147,
That’s right, how could I have forgotten about those 2. Hmmm maybe something subconscious to read in that one. haha jk.
Can you think of any others?
WBS still herky jerky. Too bad seems to be a really good show.
Does anyone feel that with Orgeron back on the West Coast that we will be facing even more challenges keeping our local marque recruits?
OK, ST, it’s getting close to bedtime and gotta hit the hay so no forget to post some good UH news after midnight tonight and we can feel good – can be football, baseball, volleyball, softball, any kine even if you not the “beat” writa.
OH, wait now, I gotsa watch the Great Queen Seondock which starts at 9:25pm – great series about a true, historical Korean Queen back in the late 600 AD who set the basis for the unification of the 3 kingdoms – Silla, Bekjae, and Goruygo – now called Korea. Episode 16 of 62.
Hiya!
Kazz, how’s my girl Jori Jasper doing?
Again- the Wahine Clinic was a real confidence-builder for me. Confidence in our coaching staff. Coach Miano’s interview today is typical of the kind of awareness and dedication that the whole staff exudes.
It’s up to our players to buy in and guy in. We have really great coaches!
IWWTHME:
Probably yes, but that should only put the “onus” on the coaching staff to win games, many games, to keep the talent home.
Not all will stay, but get commitments from more so-called “top tier” student athletes – not only from Hawaii but throughout the west region and a few east of the Mississippi!!
This means being more creative on offensive play calling – run the ball more in different sets. Last time I saw UH do the “student body right and left” was back in the late 60s early 70s. Use the RB better instead of just blocking! Swing passes to the sidelines to avoid the “bunch up in the middle”. Not saying give up on the “shovel pass”, but———. Which means that the OL has to get better to keep the defense out of the backfield.
With the RnS, when can a OL become pass eligible? Does this require all the receivers to be on the same side of the field with at least 2 up on the line of scrimmage next to the lineman? How many different plays can be run from this formation? Some will say this is crazy, but if no you try, how you know its going to or not going to work.
LizK,
Jori Jasper is listed at 1st base last I saw. She played a few against Chaminade in the fall. I cannot recall seeing her at bat though.
1st base is pretty much locked in with Amanda Tauali’i. Behind her you’ve got sophomores Sarah Robinson and Makani Duhaylonsod-Kaleimamahu. So only time will tell where da Kauai native will fit in. Only a freshman, her playing days in Manoa have only yet to begin.
Lane Kiffin -vs- Steve Sarkisian
The beginning of an incredible rivalry
Lane Kiffin(USC) -vs- Jeff Tedford(Cal)
Student -vs- Teacher
wvb I think Hartong and Waber are keepers, grayshirt Goodman or uiato. Moenoa will be available in 2011, volley talk fans think she has a better up side than Uiato at this stage (HS to D1) Uiato is 5’8 and I think Moenoa is 5’10 (Mafua’s ht). Hartong is very athletic, good jump server, can hit on the slide and digs well in the back row for a 6’1 mb. She is more agile than Alexis but shorter.

The beginning of an incredible BATTLE in my opu is about to begin… 🙁
Ralph,
Think Forsythe will be able to improve her footwork in the off season?
When I was out sick the past two weeks, my brother got me seasons 1-4 of “The Office”.
Now watching TBS’ mini marathon of the sitcom, I am left staring at episodes I’ve already seen over and over again.
Still… GREAT show!!!! 😆
I miss working in a true “office” setting… 🙁
If Waber can start right away, it will be interesting to see the dynamic between Waber and Mafua… or Waber and Uiato???
Mafua will continue as setter next season, Uiato will sit. Waber can play OH or MB so she can compete for Aneli’s position or Ferrell’s. Waber and Hartong move along the net a lot quicker than Corinne and Alexis, interesting competion next year. Then there is tuaniga at 6’2, but I read she is a up side project like Ferrell. So this year RS really helped her learn the system and get a lot of reps against the starters.
Hmmm… Tuaniga as a project… Interesting how that’s gonna work considering Hartong and Forsythe are gonna compete for the middle also. Well, Shoji said Hartong could compete right away from what I remember.
Considering how well Hewitt played last season, I wanna say she’s a “lock”, but nothing is for sure nowadays I guess…
Ugh.. early morning meetings tomorrow…
Nighty nite to all!!!
made these simple UH sports calendars up to see when each sport plays. Since we don’t have posters to look at anymore and we can’t have more than one PC desktop sports schedule, I figured make these up.
hope they help!

i don’t know why sum get bent out of shape about what nationality is coaching or playing. do you think it contributes to anything??? i don’t!! we are all americans of different ancestry. grew up in a plantation camp, so this kind of using “race” to me is stupid. remember, we are americans of various ancestry, not a race.
Thanks for the calendar, Chawan!
Today’s Warrior host is still one of my favorite all-time UH football players. Here is a pic of him during his days as a Rainbow.
Wow, USC will have an *amazing* group of key assistant coaches. Monte Kiffin as DC, Chow as OC, and Orgeron leading the recruiting…wow.
It will be interesting to see if Orgeron succeeds in getting some of Tennessee’s commits to go to USC. Unlike most coaching staff changes, it sounds like USC’s new coaching staff is open about going after the best commits to their old school.
This will insure that the season opener for USC will have *huge* media attention and national fan interest. That gives the Warriors a big spotlight to show what they can do. The changes at USC might take a little while to get fully into sync, so that might be to UH’s benefit…or their players could want to impress their new coaches and could be incredibly up for the game.
The two biggest stories about coaching changes this offseason, at least to me, were at USC and Texas Tech…and those teams open against UH and SMU.

Chinese manufacturers have been substituting cadmium for lead in children’s jewelry, but cadmium is WORSE than lead for human health! Chinese manufacturers like cadmium because it is cheap and easy to work with, and in some cases are using extraordinarily high levels of cadmium in their products, but cadmium causes cancer and hinders in the brain development of kids! If the jewelry with cadmium was industrial garbage, it would be considered hazardous waste…but since there are no cadmium restrictions on jewelry, it can be sold legally in the US.
I’ve read a lot of articles about the concern that electromagnetic radiation from cell phones could cause cancer or have other negative effects, but never read anything positive about that radiation until now…but a study found that cell phone radiation may *improve* memory and protect against Alzheimer’s disease!
whitey,
i prefer “ethnicity”. and i agree, it should be about quality and results, not about what ethnicity one is.
I think that it is pretty odd that a cat was summoned for jury duty in Boston, but I’m sure those types of mistakes happen…what I think is *really* strange is that the jury commissioner denied the request to cancel the jury summons, as I would think that being a cat should be adequate reason to get out of jury duty!
Study found that being sad makes people less gullible, improves their ability to judge others, and boosts memory. People in a happy mood were more likely to believe anything they were told and make mistakes as an eyewitness.
It looks like either American Airlines or Delta Airlines will win a bidding battle for Japan Airlines or JAL will go through the Japanese version of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Delta just raised fees for checked bags–if you are paying at the airport, it will be $25 for the first bag and $35 for the second. It will be interesting to see if other airlines increase their fees
similarly.
Hope this isn’t illegal. Just SMU me if it is

Tennessee is going to have to hire a coach quickly if they do not want to lose their recruiting class. This is much later than JJ left UH and the new coach will have a very short time to recruit. However, if they take a college coach, that coach will be leaving his school really, really late in the recruiting season.
Hopefully Tennessee will get a coach from the NFL. I’ve seen lots of interesting names rumored, including Petersen, and I’m sure things are pretty chaotic for Tennessee right now. They cannot interview a college coach if they do not expect to offer that coach the job…since the coach would be killing his recruiting class if he interviews for a job this late in the process and ends up staying at his school.
Garret, #179 is funny, but apparently the wisdom in mass prevails, so i wonder if the cat has mass healthcare insurance or is entitled to it.
I thought Peterson would be a real front runner for a bunch of coaching jobs and especially at USC.
I was pretty wrong and another candidate prevailed.
Now with this talk about Tenn…I would NEVER expect Peterson to coach U. Tenn…NEVER….with that being said prepare for a coaching change at BSU. LOL
To add to #187 it must REALLY SUCK to be a BSU fan at times. Can you imagine your coach is literally the “answer” that gets you to where you are now and every time a coach gets fired at a BCS school you wonder “is he going or is he staying…can he really pass this offer up?”……
the pressure of being a BSU fan must be pretty rough.
Tenn has one of the best recruiting class lined up this year, but with all this turmoil, what will happen??? now the musical chairs start up for recruits also.
wonder why joe pa’s name neva comes up whenever there is a hc position vacancy???
oh, yeah, coach bowden is also available.
Thanks, Kazz, for the Jori update!

Nitey nite and Sweet UH Athletic Dreams!
we talk about our recruiting class, but imagine what tenn has to do between now and feb 4th. they could lose most of their recruits or somehow get most to sign on without a hc.
#190,
Because that’s like trying to get grandpa to move out of a house he has lived in his entire life…..that and everyone knows JoePa has said numerous times publicly that he will retire at Penn. That and maybe the fact that he is ummm ‘not young’ makes him not so much of a candidate for jobs like USC hahaha.
JoePa sunbathing on the beaches of So Cal?…EWWWWWWW!
Plus being at Penn with the tradition, history, resources, money makes it difficult to move up.
In Peterson’s case I can name at least 10 schools that would be considered a “move-up” in his coaching career.
lizk, no go sleep without reaching the top of the hill.
iwonder, but wouldn’t it be something if tenn said that they are looking at joepa or bowden??? one for us old farts!!!!
recruiting is coming down to the wire and there are quite a bit of uncommited players out there. hopefully the warriors will be able to secure some and have them firm on feb 4th.
i think kekoa getting his iphone ready to push the button at 200
going to stealth mode and see if i can sneak in at 200

RIOTS IN TENNESSEE over Lane Kiffin’s resignation
To ensure I am w/in blog guideline I will not post link due to its graphic nature.
Search “Tennessee football riots” to find article in Huffington Post.
*Warning Graphic Content*
So apparently UoT campus is up in arms about the departure of Lane Kiffin. The student body has committed acts of vandalism and riots have been photographed and videotaped.
joe pa’s name never surfaces.
he is penn state football.
no one would ever think that he would leave anyway.
whitey,
I’ll give you Bowden…but not Joe Pa. Joe Pa and Penn is like Bread and Butter. hahaha.
Reading Pat Forde’s article on the Tenn hire.
Puts things into persepctive and makes me believe I can be a head football coach too.
Never a head coach in college let alone the NFL -> get hired as HC of the Raiders
Failing and fired from the Raiders get hired on a lucrative contract with UT…
After a lackluster ONE season where you get killed by VT, you get offered one of the most prestigious coaching jobs in college ball.
Nothing but WOW…I want to either 1) fail at what I do or 2) be mediocre at it and get offered bigger better jobs with more money…..again I say “life is so fair” hahaha 🙂

“Despite reports across the Internet, a deal to bring Norm Chow, currently UCLA’s offensive coordinator, back to USC as offensive coordinator is not done yet, according to the Los Angeles Times. A source close to Chow says while the two sides are talking, no deal has been reached.
Chow said recently that it “would take NFL-type money” to get him back to USC.”
mornin everyone, i tried watching the “WBS” several times, but its too choppy. please, can anyone help me out and fill me in on some of coach mianos answers. curious about what he had to say about “TANK” Red Shirting? and the outlook of our “BIG BOYS”, the O-Line and the D-Line? mahalos

WAC football ( somewhat ) – – – –
New Mexico State coach DeWayne Walker told the Las Cruces Sun-News that he has not been contacted by Pete Carroll or the Seattle Seahawks to join the staff as the defensive coordinator despite several published reports saying he was leaving.
“I have not been offered the job,” he told the Sun-News. “Therefore, I have not accepted the job. Everything everybody is writing is false.”

A cat usually sleeps 16 hours a day. Lot of jurors seems to fall asleep (physically or mentally) while on jury duty in any event
# 116 iwonderwhytheyhateme
Sorry but I wouldn’t want anything to do with that type of coach, or PC either, we have enough problems with the programs at UH no need to ask for more.
To all WARRIORS now is the time for all of you to go “BALLS TO THE WALL” an show USC what it means to leave it on the field.
Boise State fans should feel the pressure. Football is all they’ve got.
They’re a “one-trick” pony… HELLUVA “pony” though!
kazz,
sorry i couldn’t put the softball sched on my sched. but i know you already have that one memorized.
#220
Pomai,
I can agree that Lane Kiffin by himself wouldn’t appeal to me at all.
But anybody in college football would love to have PC, but more so Kiffins and even PC’s staff…its a package.
Monti Kiffin, Ken Norton Jr., Ed Orgeron, Steve Sarkesian, John Morton. and maybe even Norm Chow.
This kind of stacked coaching staff with real experience at both the college and nfl levels would be insanely awesome for Hawaii if we had them.
But alas…Fight On?…nah for me its Dream On. hahaha.
Maybe someone mentioned this already but Boise State Football is selling stocks (similar to Green Bay)….
Very interesting fundraising strategy.
Could it work here?
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/2009-11-11-boisestate-stock_N.htm
Rich Miano I think that guy would make a good head coach even though I heard he was a snake.haha I think UH should be focusing on getting their players good supplements and nutrients like other big time schools , instead of buying dam flat screens for the coaches offices. I also think the warriors should fire that cornball “MAC”.
