Salas to the Rams, Pilares to the Panthers
Mom cried.
Dad yelled.
And former UH receiver Greg Salas yelled even louder after being the St. Louis Rams’ fourth-round selection in today’s NFL draft.
“This is a dream come true,” Salas said during the family celebration.
His father, Mark, was raised in Southern California and has cheered for the Rams most of his life. Greg Salas grew up rooting for the Raiders. “Now I’m a Rams’ fan,” he said.
“I want to thank everyone in Hawaii β Kealoha (Pilares), Mo, the linemen, the other receivers, the coaches,” Salas said.
Salas’ parents accompanied him on his recruiting trip in January 2006.
“Hawaii will always be special to our family,” Mark Salas said. “It’s very special to Greg. Hawaii won’t be our last destination. Hawaii will always be our first destination.”
Last year’s 112th pick received a signing bonus of $572,000.
* * * * *
And Kealoha Pilares has been selected by the Carolina Panthers.
Just spoke with Pilares. He was emotional when talking about his teammates, coaches (especially Rich Miano), parents, Shane Austin’s dad and the fans who befriended him on Facebook. He said Miano helped him after he received a release from the Air Force Academy. He said Austin’s dad, who is a motivational mentor, provided encouragement during his rehab from the knee injury.
Last year’s 132nd pick received a signing bonus of Β $215,512, which is a numerical palindrome.
A copule of hours after being drafted, Pilares was back in the gym, under the guidance of his trainer, Barry Toyama:
First…Congrats to A.Green and Greg Salas…Good Luck on Living The Dream..
Finally Salas goes….
Have a good one everyone!
morning
cool to hear Salas getting picked congrats

Good Luck to both Green and Salas. Hoping for more Warriors to get drafted.
Top ten. Congrat Salas!
nice write up on Salas ohana
Congratulations to Alex Green and Greg Salas!
Oops!
Good morning to all!
Great news on Salas!
The Green draft should help recruiting good RBs to Hawaii.
I wonder how much moving to the pistol helped Green?
Green highlights

congrats to Greg Salas! Can’t believe it.
Blessings, boys!
My two brothers on the Big Island, coworker and good friend are stoked!
They’re all ready to see the Bradford/Salas Show to begin.
Good Morning Tsaikos!!
Newton to Kealoha… get used to it!
Congrats to Alex, Greg, and Kealoha!
Good luck to the rest of the Warriors!
Way to go Kealoha! Viriliter Age!!
Are we starting to feel Mana Silva next?
Congrats to Packer Alex Green.
Congrats to Ram Greg Salas.
Congrats to Panther Kealoha Pilares.
I had no doubt that you would be drafted.
One more to go.
…Or Laupepa Letuli?
Very nice comments about Salas this morning on the NFL draft coverage by both Todd McShay and Trent Dilfer along with some highlights, including a one handed grab as he was going into the endzone. Also, some catches against Tulsa in the Hawaii Bowl with close coverage. It was quite funny when Tilfer said the 4th round pick (Salas) is better than the 3rd round pick (Austin Pettis of Boise St.), also taken by the Rams. “If the 4th pick is better than the 3rd pick, why do they need two?” “Salas is better than Austin”. McShay, “I agree, I had Salas in the 3rd round and he has better hands, he catches everyting.”
My good friend will be happy. She’s a long time Rams’ fan.
Question: Who is the only player to throw for over 10,000 yards and ran for more than 4,000 yards in college?
Answer: Colin Kaepernick, QB, Nevada, now a SF 49ers.
Everybody rips on Kaepernick. I think he’s pretty good. Not sure why he reminds me of Josh Freeman.
Hoping Mana Silva and Pepa can sneak into the 6th or 7th round
Kaepernick was a sore loser. Failed to give the Warriors their due. That’s all.
And he runs like a stork.
Some teams haven’t picked up a db yet. Time for the ball magnet.
Congratulations to Greg on going to the Rams!
Ho’omaikai, Kealoha! We’ll be looking for you on TV.
Good morning, gang!
Old skinny legs is going to get his bell rung in the nfl. He’s a sore loser just like his coach the little general.
Pomai, you and I sound like bitter 49er fans.
Hey, if I were a GM, I’d take Lametrius Davis, too.
Good Morning Gangeez! π π π
Byootiful! Congrats to all of our draftees so far, Green, Salas and Pilares!
Feel the Mana next. And Pepa!
GO WARRIORS!!!
the class just got bigger with classy guys who worked and prayed hard.
Don’t know about anybody else, but I’m ready for some football.
Speed in NFL won’t allow Colin to run free. I don’t know if he can make the throws thru those very tight windows.
For some reason I really want to watch some pre-season games.
Looks like safeties are coming off the board.
small write up of Pilares on the Carolina website…

GOOD MORNING HAWAII!
Great news – Salas and Pilares! Wish them and Green good fortune!
Chris Carter has been frozen on Mel Kiper’s “Best Available” list for 2 hours. Is this embarrassing for Carter or Kiper?
congrats to all warriors who got drafted thus far. you are more than deserving. thanks for a memorable 2010 season. Good Luck to the rest of the Warriors.
I LIKE IT!!! Way to go, WARRIORS!!
As much as I hate to say it….whoever appeared on Kipers best available, has gotten drafted…sooner or later it seems, because both Salas and Green were on it; that being said, I thought Mana Silva’s name appeared somewhere on one of Kiper’s lists???
Shiloh Keo to the Texans…
Awesome news about Salas and Pilares, today… and Green, yesterday. Go WARRIORS!
Congrats to the players who made it to the next level… hope a number of our other players get a chance at the next level, too.
Congrats to the Warriors who have been selected in the NFL draft!!!!
What a blessing for them, their families, and UH. Never lose focus, never lose your faith, never lose your friends, and never lose your family…..
I ke Akua ka ho’onani ia / To God Be The Glory
Everyone have a blessed day π
Ahhhh 49ners should have gone spice.
Chris Carter got picked by Pitt, #162.
ST- any idea why the ESPN prognosticators have changed their outlook and chosen to overtly blow artificial positive smoke up every selections posterior?
In years past, no player was ever good. Each player was dragged through the mud.
I’m expecting any moment for Kiper to sprinkle flowers everywhere while Dilfer leads the panel in a warm fuzzy Kumbaya rendition.
back from running some errands
congrats to monarch pilares best wishes, good fortune and go far young man.
good hunting to sball wahines and bball warriors today. see ball mash ball nuff said
congrats to Greg Salas!
&
congrats to Kealoha Pilares!
I’m with ST but since no fball next best sball tonight.
Cheering on the wahines and dem 3 seniors.
As da boosta syndicate leaders say come on down you betta belong.
Hugapalooza?
Charles Clay. Like that pick. Always like to watch fullbacks.
I wonder if they’ll hug the commish so much after they’re in the union… π
Now did Wisconsin’s John Clay get drafted? That guy was pretty good, too.
Interesting how nobody wants Jeremiah Masoli anymore.
Can’t believe the Jets traded up to take a special teams player.
That’s what happens when your GM was a capologist.
Interesting that SMU’s receiver didn’t go higher.
Oakland picked two on the OL, and 4 players timed sub 4.4, two were DBs, a rb and a WR. I guess Asomugha is on his way out as a free agent. E. Washington RB Taiwan Jones was timed on pro day at 4.27 and 4.35.
Oakland loves speed. Doesn’t always love talent.
Good morning everyone!
…and a very good morning for Salas and Pilares! Congrats!
As I watched E. Washington’s run to the DII title, I was impressed with Taiwan Jones.
Congrats Kealoha
It’s been 25 years since a former Monarch & Warrior represented Damien in the NFL. The late Charles Aiu III was the first to represent DMHS…and he was so proud of that distinction.
Viriliter Age – Act Manfully.
st should it be kapulugist?
man wives get plenty stuff list, gotta be on da go again, check back when we pau or run outta gas
wb knew charlie when he was a student and believe it or not was a water boy in his earlier years. then his hormones kicked in and just sprouted into one man mountain. rest is history
Correction to #63: Its been almost 35 years….since someone from DMHS and the UH played in the NFL.
Thrilled for Green, Salas, and Pilares!!! I have confidence they will represent well and in helping themselves and their teams, they will give a big assist to Warrior recruiting.
#60 “Those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it”. You’d think Al Davis would have learned by now…how sad. He’d do well if he decided to sponsor a track team on the side.
CONGRATULATIONS Alex, Greg and Pilares. Next is Mana’s turn!
Derek #21
I’m sorry I missed those comments! Although I believe them to be true π it’s unbelievable that something like that would be said on the air. Hmmm, wonder if Dilfer’s background as a Fresno Bulldog factored into that lol
Congratulations, Green, Salas and Pilares!
A big NFL draft success for the program!
Make us proud, guys!
Yesterday, I was very proud of the ‘Bows and Na Wahine. 17 strikeouts and still notch a win? Don’t like the strikeouts, but that’s the kind of intestinal fortitude I like. Was starting to have some doubts about Na Wahine, but before yesterday’s game I told myself hoping for the best was not enough. You gotta believe down to the core. I was happy that the ladies believed in themselves too, and even happier with the win! π
Tsaikos going to the softball games today….I’ve got stuff going on all day and won’t be able to make it…please cheer LOUDLY for me! Betty and I will be there tomorrow.
Boise State softball team continuing its strong run at the end of the year. Just beat Fresno State so it takes the series. If it wins the next game it will have swept Fresno State too, besides Hawaii.
DPK – howzit?
Beautiful day at the North Shore this morning.
Beautiful news after turning on the laptop.
Hopefully the beautiful day continues.
Go Basebows
Go Wahine
Anybody in Fresno going to the baseball game tonight?
Is there a list somewhere of all Hawaii high school graduates who made it to the NFL?
O.k., just want to confirm……since the lock out is on again, there won’t be any activity in acquiring free agents, right??
McTruck:
This is true.
Am I going blind or what???, was looking for articles on UH Wahine’s softball, and couldn’t find what is being discussed on this blog?, wada-scoop?
mctruck….
Β Β Β Β .Β Β Β .Β Β Β Β .
mctruck,
If you can count the blank spaces in the above reply.. You are okay!
Oddawise, you might just have to go to the UH website to check out the wins..
http://hawaiiathletics.com/
There’s probably a list somewhere.
But not here, because I only cover UH football (and volleyball).
Ubercow from SportsHawaii said that there’s a big sale and the Rainbowtique in Manoa today..
Jimmy Wilson?
Now they’re just drafting relatives.
OK, now I know who Jimmy Wilson is. Interesting story. Spent 25 months in jail before being acquitted of first-degree murder.
I’m so disappointed that the Raiders didn’t take one of our Warriors…
Or the Buccaneers..
Give credit to Miano for pushing to get Green into the East-West game, and also for creating the UH pro day. UH didn’t give much publicity to Green o Pilares, but they did well.
If you’re keeping track:
Ron Lee recruited Greg Salas.
Nick Rolovich recruited Alex Green.
Rich Miano recruited Kealoha Pilares.
is this the first time we’ve had three guys drafted in the first seven rounds?
mih,
not blind, whew!!
check that first five rounds.
al: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Hawaii_Warriors_in_the_NFL_Draft
How about a Pro day sponsored by the Hawaii and Convention bureau?
Congratulations to the three Warriors; Green, Sales, and Pilares. Live your dreams. Make them happen.
For us over the hill Tsaiko’s, we too must live our dreams.

todd mcshay has salas as the steal of the day.
Congrats to Green, Salas and Pilares. For those who were not so fortunate, don’t give up on the dream.
Anyway, time for the traditional Sunday BBQ. Wish I had some portuguese sausage to grill with the steaks today. Guess have to settle for polish sausage. π
Congratulations to three warriors; Green, Pilares, and Salas. now that your dreams have come true, play with all your heart and soul. You three will be highly missed. Remember keep your eye on that ball. much love and aloha. We the peolpe of Pearl City, gods country. God bless, be safe and injury free.
interesting to see pettis and salas on the same team to the rams.
Boise State just swept Fresno State in softball, just as it did to the Wahine. They won the 3rd match 12 to 9. Really tight race for the top of the conference standings. Now if the Wahine can pull off a similar sweep against NMS, that would be great.
mahalo for the link, Jason. Very interesting.
Mad Dog…
enjoyed that video link, thanks!
So, what’s in store for the likes of Mana Silva?
Hot day for playing ball.
Caught a replay of the Todd McShay opinion on Salas being a steal of the day. Yeah!
Go Mana! Go Pepa! Go Adrian! Go Lametrius! Go Rodney! Good luck to all of the guys who are waiting.
Slugger…saw that replay too. What great recognition of the program on national tv. YES!
Shoko #100
Bruddah, you having your sunday bbq on saturday this week??? π
Back to stuff to do…bbl

Congrats to Salas & Pilares!!
Busy day today. Both “children” had doctor’s appts today. Blog mascot now checks in at 70 lbs…
Congrats to the BaseBows!! Beat dem Fresnecks 6-5, earning at least a series split!!!
GO WAHINE!!
GO BOWS!!
Listening to Trent Dilfer on ESPN today when discussing Greg Salas, Dilfer commented saying that in his opinion, Salas has the best hands in this years draft of wr’s.
oops #113 – nvm. that was from last night. …
That’s why I was rather disappointed Salas was not drafted at least in the 3rd round; in my opinion, too many wr’s who I believe Salas was much better than, were drafted ahead of him.
Get in the game and take your sports betting to the next level! click here now!t
Howzit, everyone!

Hawaiii up by four in the 9th
The WAC did pretty good in terms of players that got drafted this year with 16 total. Too bad, the WAC is soon to be gutted. MWC only had 10?
Just want to see if there’s any relation between Draftees and BCS voting.
Draftees by final BCS Standings (Dec 5, 2010):
1. Auburn – 4
2. Oregon – 1
3. TCU – 5
4. Stanford – 4
5. Wisconsin – 5
6. Ohio St – 5
7. Oklahoma – 4
8. Arkansas – 3
9. Michigan St – 2

Schools not in top25 BCS, with most Draftees:
North Carolina – 9
USC – 9
Miami (FL) – 8
Clemson – 6
Georgia – 6
Iowa – 6
Pittsburgh – 5
Congrats to the Wahine soft bows and Basebows on the victories today!
UH(3, but should have been more!) had more Draftees than 32 BCS Schools(2, 1, or 0).
Hats off to our coaches, for doing a great job of recruiting and teaching our boyz, and bringing out their best!
Okay, pau for now. Gotta go sleep. Too tired. See you all tomorrow.
Go, ‘Bows!
Go. Wahine!
wait a minute.. dang stat board is for yesterday’s basebow game
Auburn, Alabama, Baylor, Cal, Clemson, Colorado, UConn, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, LSU, Miami, Miss St, Nebraska, UNC, Ohio St, Oklahoma, Pitt, Stanford, TCU, Texas, USC, WVU, Wisconsin
Only 24 colleges had more players drafted into the NFL this year than UH Manoa; Oregon only sent one. When you consider the fact that big name schools have higher-rated recruits, this means that UH is one of the best schools in the country at improving athletes’ pro-potential. UH takes recruits that are not as highly-touted as most BCS schools, but does more for them – something I am sure they will use in recruiting over the next few years. This is not a one-year wonder, this is a trend spanning the past 10+ years since the run and shoot arrived.
2000-2011 NFL Draft
UH has had as many players drafted since 2000 as Boston College and UW, and UH has had more players drafted than each of these BCS and big-name “mid-major/non-AQ” schools:
BCS: Baylor, Cincinnati, UConn, Duke, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi St, Missouri, , Oklahoma St, Rutgers, South Florida, Texas Tech, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest, Washington St, West Virginia
Non-AQ: Boise St, BYU, Nevada, Fresno St
From what I have seen, the only two non-AQ programs with more players drafted over the past 11 drafts are Utah and TCU, both of whom are moving to BCS conferences – in other words, as of next year, UH will be #1 among all non-AQ schools in terms of players drafted since 2000.
How come North Carolina didn’t play for the national championship?
Okay got it…. still a win by the BaseBows… 6-2…. whoo hooo…
There are some life-defining moments.
For instance, if Laupepa Letuli had been drafted, he would impress in training camp and have a long career.
Now?
Just don’t know. Because now it’s up to his agent to pitch him to the right team and show he deserves a chance.
Letuli is a talent who can do some amazing things. He just needs a chance.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who don’t get that chance. There are a lot of amazing basketball players who never played in the NBA.
This also destroys the myth that playing for Hawaii in the WAC with the run and shoot hurts your draft stock. If that were the case, Hawaii’s draft numbers would not be outperforming their recruiting rankings. If anything, the belief that the run and shoot and playing in the WAC hurts draft stock is more damaging to UH than the run and shoot and playing in the WAC is to athletes.
I like Shiloh Keo. And anyone who spends any time with him would like him, too.
But on that one play β a legal one, as it turns out β Rodney Bradley suffers a major injury that alters his career path.
Eighteen months later, Keo gets drafted and Bradley doesn’t.
If that play doesn’t happen, Bradley gets drafted this year.
Life is complexing sometimes.
Well said, Chris Hilo.
Who would have thunk?
UH 3 – BYU 0
#132 – it was stated in the past that it was a legal play, but when did a leg whip become legal?
Congrats to the BaseBows!
Congrats to the Wahine on their win in the 1st game today!! 2nd game – 2-1 UH bottom 4th
make that 4-1 UH. NaMaSU on it’s 3rd pitcher.
Mahalo jm2375 for the softball update. I wonder when we’ll be able to get streaming audio from AM1500 radio like we do 1420? Those of us who can’t pick it up over the air have no other way to hear the game broadcasts. I listened to the Bows beat Fresno today, a great win. But I’ve been frustrated trying to get any news on the softball team. No reports on the Star-Advertiser’s web site, nor anywhere else I could find. But I’m happy to be able to count on the Warrior Beat bloggers to pass along the info. Mahalo hou!
I didn’t even know the Wahine were playing a second game today until jm2375 posted the ongoing score..
unkanesson – #138 – check the livestats on the UH website. According to ESPN 1420, they’re working on a ESPN 1500 site and mobile apps. I asked about an android app, and they said they’re discussing it. They have a iphone app.
(Note: the livestats for the basebows game is still for yesterday’s game…)
mih – it’s Senior Night!! I wanted to go, but the blog mascot’s checkup took priority.
My companion and i nonetheless can not rather consider I could usually be 1 of individuals learning the crucial concepts observed on your website internet site. My relatives and I are sincerely thankful for the generosity and for presenting me option go after my personalized picked profession route
Re #132 and #135
Gonna have to agree with el burro on this one. I know that the play was reviewed, but it was a classic leg whip, which has always been banned as far as I know. I’ll concede that Keo probably threw his leg out there trying to make a play without any intent to injure RB, but it was still a play with a high likelihood of injury — that’s exactly why leg whips are banned — therefore it will always be a dirty play in my mind.
But for the injury, Rodney Bradley would have been regarded as one of the best WRs to ever play at UH. He had everything, size, speed, hands, fearlessness. Now he is in the class with Junior Lopati as guys who had potentially brilliant careers cut short by cheap shots.
I did check the livestats page, and also the S-A’s scoreboard page, but it was all yesterday’s news.
Thanks for the info on the future ESPN1500 site. I’m not smartphone equipped yet, so I use my laptop as a radio for UH sports when they aren’t on TV. With K5 sports going under soon, I’ll be relying on the laptop more and more in the future. Don’t have digital cable, so no can pay per view. Auwe…
Dang! .. NaMaSu caught up… 4-4… top of the sixth
Re 143: Totally agree. Keo overran the play and instinctively stuck out his leg because it’s all he could do or Bradley was gone. I doubt he meant to hurt Bradley; it was a split-second decision that, unfortunately, wrecked Bradley’s career. In retrospect, maybe Bradley should have taken a redshirt year to fully recover. Didn’t he have that option?
Re: 144. The livestats on the UH athletics web site works fine. Had to reload it to start. Try it again.
Thanks, Guy. Took me awhile, but I’ve got the Sidearm Stats running. Frustrating not to be able to hear, but it’s better than nothing. Runner on first, one out, bottom of the 7th. Let’s go Wahine!!
The emergence of Davon Bess imho may have helped Greg and Kealoha…their (as well as Alex) eventual success will award the Warriors of the future.
Been a Ram fan for many years…excited to see Salas in Blue and Gold catching passes from Sam Bradford.
I think he has a legitimate chance to start.
SWEEEEP!!! WTG Wahine!! Iwata with game-winning RBI in bottom of 7th!
SWEET! Nice win under pressure! … WTG Wahine!
Aw-Ryte!! We got the hat trick — Base-Bows beat #13 Fresno and the Soft-Bows take 2 from WAC leading NMSU!!
Now I can get back to work…feeling good!!
#123 Michigan Warrior & #127 Chris Hilo thanks for the draft information. This is why even though I don’t always post I always read this blog every day.
The Bows bats have come alive (but not all the way), especially Iwata and Rodriquez. Jenna has shown that she can be an effective relief pitcher; she won both games today. Very useful in the postseason. Guess who was sitting by meβDonovan the AD; Dave Shoji was there too supporting the Wahine.
Congratulations, Green, Salas and Pilares! Represent da Warrior Nation!
Go Warriors!
Youre so cool! I dont suppose Ive read anything like this before. So nice to find somebody with some original thoughts on this subject. realy thank you for starting this up. this website is something that is needed on the web, someone with a little originality. useful job for bringing something new to the internet!
On this day (April 30) in the first year (2007) of The Warrior Beat blog … count is 256 comments. HF is being evaluated…? ST’s partial blog entry:
Posted on: April 30, 2007 at 9:55:51 am
AD is being evaluated
For the first time in memory, UH’s athletic director is being evaluated by his staff.
UH’s Human Resource Department recently sent on-line evaluation forms to about 20 members of the athletic department. They are asked to specifically evaluate the performance of the athletic director.
The AD is out of town, having attended this past weekend’s Penn Relays. He will attend the WAC meetings this week.
* * *
JMI was a regular on the night shift all spring 2007. He said he was around 40 and was enrolled at UH pursuing a (or another) degree. Haven’t seen him here since then. I promised him a Camellia Cattle Call lunch.
JMI — are you out there? π
useful information. It’s really good
Dagnabit! I just saw where there was a Na Wahine double-header today and ran to my email on senior night. SENIOR NIGHT WAS TONIGHT!!! I have 15 lbs of shoyu chicken that Betty cooked today sitting in the fridge. It’s a b!tch getting old and mis-remembering stuff! Doggone it! I was doing things today to clear the slate for tomorrow. Arrggggh
OK…I’m going to pour myself a shot of single malt and go habutz…

Congrats to the BaseBows!
Aigoo, BG!
But at least you are an old guy with anogher degree and the ability to whip around the bases.
Yea for the Wahine!
Alex Aguirre and Makani Duhaylonsod-Kaleimamahu also had a good series.
As the blogmeister would say, “a pulsating win” at RWSS tonight! Thanks to the Wahine for a great show and a special thanks to all of the boosters for their hospitality. Lotsa Tsaikos in attendance, standing room only!
Mahalo to Na Wahine Softball Booster Club officers, our own Pomai, Kazz, Ralph, Slugger and SJ for starting up the booster club this year. Thanks to their hard work, we saw the gals through thick and thin, for a standing room only senior night and sweep of WAC-leading NMSU.
The girls, their families, Coach and Mrs. Coolen were very appreciative of the fan support this season.
I’m proud to be a Na Wahine Booster Club member.
Mahalo!
BG ~ Wow pahtna you need one sec-a-tary!
Great night for wahine softball.
And for the Kane in football that were drafted by some teams that are worth following.

gmahoney –
You get some cute grankeeds. Real fans too! π
U confirmed my thought. Neva like assume. G N!
Very fortunate to make it to tonite’s double header sweep on 1st place New Mexico. Last home games for the Wahine and I finally made it. Mahalo to the the booster club officers for their invite to the potluck after the game. You guys do a great job. Got reacquainted with some of the Tsaikos that I’ve met before but couldn’t remember their names. Always good to see the Tsaikos that I could remember their names. And nice to meet some Tsaikos for the first time. Really enjoyed the games and also talking story with Kekoa and other Tsaikos. Congrats to the Wahine. Great games tonite. Remember its a game, so just go out and have fun and things will fall in place. You definitely have the talent. Imua! Imua! Imua!
166…this is what both needed and of course the team prospered from their collective awakening.
Wonder if ST’s still having lunch by the pond.
and how about them bows?
looking for the broom tomorrow.
whoa…the camera caught braddah kekoa on tape with his little sign.
160…is that what i get to look forward to in my old age?

One of the many things I learned this past weekend:
Dont come and make “house” in a stadium that is NOT YOURS and let your damn kids throw trash over the railing.
kazz…i am surprised that you didn’t accidently bump them over the railing.
RE: 181
No worry Al, we arrived already. You must have forgot. π
stevem…i’m not quite there yet. you must have flunked several times.
Al,
The kids? No. Not their fault they werent taught any better.
i need a new laptop. this one’s got old age problems.
keyboard is malfunctioning.
tried cleaning to no avail and i broke a couple of keys.
so i suppose tbree years later i got my monies worth. can hand it down to #2.
i’ve been buying toshiba’s and have been satisfied with them.
were they cheering for the home team or the visitors?
kazz
my storm2 is a piece of s**t. i see you’ve upgraded to a droid x….any good?
or should i spend the big bucks on a thunderbolt?
Crucial softball series in Las Cruces next weekend, WAC #1 Boise State at 15-3 visits the the #2 Aggies at 14-4 for a three game series. Fresno is 13-5, and Na Wahine 11-7. FSU faces Nevada, while Na Wahine takes on San Jose State on the road.
Al wait for the Bionic, should be out this summer. Suppose to be a cut above the thunderbolt.
Verizon rep said there are two 4G sites on Oahu, Mililani and the Airport area, so you’ll be paying for an upgrade that will do wonders for you when you travel to the mainland, in Hawaii, you pay 4G price for 3G reception.
ralph…for hawaii, i don’t matter who wins except for themselves.
bsu, nmsu, fsu, reno, who wins don’t mean nothing.
wahine are in must win come tourney time or no ncaa’s this year. they won’t get the call unless they win the tourney. chances are probably slim to none if the come in second in the wac tournament even with the good finish last year. there is no way that the wac gets three slots. two is an outside shot if the #1 seed is the runner up.
who makes the bionic?
199
200
Al — I must have forgoten. What grade were we in?
BTW, I gave Peaches my MacBook (PowerBook G3 from 2004) when we parted last year. Loaded her 8+ GB of music on it so she could rip her backup CDs. Chatted with her on Facebook last month. She is still using it.
Good night, gang! ‘swonderful to hang out with you all tonight.
Go gettum Warriors-in-waiting, BaseBows and SoftBOWS!!!
motorola droid bionic
Al ask Kazz, he and his brother are on top of cell phones
Oklahoma vs Texas, SB, Sunday at 6 a.m. on ESPNU
thanks ralph.
I think the WAC will get at least 2 into the NCAA. Four teams are close, Boise, FSU, NMST and UH, so I think the WAC champs and number two goes. A few years back, 4 WAC teams made it when La Tech won the WAC championship played in Hawaii.
Al I parked next to the pond, no Steve. I knew then I wasn’t going to have lunch, luckily we had a potluck after the DH.
ST waited for the call that never came, but WSF was at the game standing at the second level of the third base ramp.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Hi!!. Awesome blog post. I tried pull this page and it looked look at. I was using a Samsung Galaxy. It might have been my android though. I am not sure… Maybe look into it. Anyhoo… The post was excellent. Keep up the beautiful work and We’ll check it in the near future. Bye Bye!!!
Hi!!. Awesome article. We made an attempt to pull your page and it looked out of place. I was loading it on a android phone. It might have been only this phone though. I am unsure… You may want to it. Anyhow.. The article was worth the read. Keep up the excellent work and We’ll check it in the near future. Bye!
Howdy!!!. Great blog post. We made an attempt to pull your website and it looked look at. I was using a EVO 4g. It might have been only this phone though. I am not sure.. You may want to it. Anyways…. The post was excellent. Keep up the hard work and We will check it out in the near future. See ya..
It is going to be a great day!
Yay to the BaseBows and SoftBows!
Whoo-hoo!!!
Happy 29th, jm3.14!
Whoo-hoo, too!!!
Gosh darn almost forgot!
Happy Lei Day!!!
Happy birthday to one of my aunties, too!
Congratulations to Salas and Pilares! Salas went later than I thought (I feel sick to think about how Pettis will be his teammate and get a bigger signing bonus and salary), but I was happy with Pilares’ position considering the NFL is usually so concerned about injuries.
The Portland Tribune had a nice 2-page feature on Alex Green.
http://portlandtribune.com/sports/story.php?story_id=130424064782677200
With three(3) former Warriors being drafted over the past several days, one would think that poor Dave Reardon would be able to keep up with what round each player was selected??…reading his column this morning, he reports that Salas was picked,(#114), and not,(#112). Com’n Dave, you can do better than that.
Off Topic…
There’s been mention, on occasion, about Korean Dramas here on the B-Log. I don’t know if it’s too late or not, but there’s an article in the paper about a contest. Here’s the link to the story:
http://www.staradvertiser.com/features/20110501__Korean_drama_fans_have_chance_to_win_in_drawing.html
Dinner and possibly some autographed items from Korean celebrities for the contest winners…
Anyways, Good “May Day is Lei Day in Hawaii” morning to you all!
Hope you all have a great day!
Oh, and gratz to Wahine Softball on that chicken-skin sweep of former 1st place NMSU! Mahalo again to our seniors!
I donβt bookmark sites but i will bookmark this! LOL!
Woke up still feeling the warmth of a great Wahine win!
Mahalo to Pomai, Kazz, Ralph, Slugger, sj, and his better half. These are the people who raised this Booster club from the dead. The rest of us get to support them and help grow membership…gladly…I might add.
Last night was the culmination of their supreme effort to lift the spirit of Rainbow SB. To feel the sincere appreciation of the players, coach Coolen and the parents was a *chicken skin* moment.
I knew it was gonna be a winnah-winnah chicken dinnah nite, wen Homey-papa joe, 808Ike, & DPK made their grand entrance! There’s your real ‘athletic supporters!’
Both games showed the grit and determination of this 2011 team. It was fun to see them scratch out the hits when they needed them, and underscore their effort with some bee-u-ti-full dingers out in dead center!
They did indeed, Finish Strong last nite.
…and so I would be remiss if I let this morning go by without mentioning the fuud at last nite’s pot luck party. Two words…incredibly deelicioso! (it was the crab salad, I’m tellin’ ya!)
I’m sure sj-macro will have some photos posted later of the entire event.
#174 DPK, glad to finally meet you. Finally a face to a name. My granddaughter said it was the best day in her life. She gaive a lei to her favorite player, Stephanie Ricketts and got to talk story with her later.
Gmahoney ~ Your grandkids were really living the dream last nite! They were so excited to be able to ‘hang’ with the players after the game. They asked me about the clubhouse when we were on the field. It was the first time they could see the room at ground level. That look of wonderment was a money shot.
It was nice to see that you have instilled Warrior pride in their upbringing.
Aloha Kakahiaka!!!
Yea, yea, yea!!!
So happy the Wahine pulled it up and pulled it off!
Mahalo to the everyone!
Back to Nuuanu for the last day of our Hawaii Baha’i National Convention…
Everyone taking care of business π
Hi Ho!
Kekoa, Honey girl was still on cloud nine at 11:00 last night on the way home, way past her bed time. But after seeing the games and talking with the players, she wants to wear UH Wahine green one day. Hope Coolen will be coaching for at least another 13 years!

GOOD MORNING HAWAII!
I wanted to go to the softball game last night but family wanted to have a birthday party – duty calls!
Congrats to Kazz, Pomai, SJ, Slugger, Ralph for the great job forming the Wahine softball boosters club – and a bigger hip=hip=hooray to the Wahine.
Go Wahine
Go Bows
Yes fuud last night was ono! 808ike made some guud sushi. Said that he had to learn for make em cuz udda wize he gotta eat at McDonalds. What can I say about Kekoa’s crab salad except ………buuuurrrppp. DELICIOUS! The other fuud was ono and as usual wwaaaayyyy plenty fuud.
tommui #236, sooo much food last night that you could have had the party at the games. Except finding a seat for everyone to watch 2 exciting games was hard to come by. The games itself was the entertainment. Would have entertained anyone, no matter what age or gender.
HAPPY MAY DAY, LEI DAY, SUNDAY MORNING TO EVERYONE!
New b-log is up!
