Rain, rain, go ... to Klum Gym
By Stephen Tsai
The Warriors were forced to modify today's practice because of heavy rain.
The offense worked on drills on the grass practice field.
But the defensive linemen and linebackers worked on pass-rushing drills for more than an hour in Klum Gym. (The defensive backs watched football videos.)
Because of the abrupt change in plans, defensive linemen Rocky Savaiigaea, Joshua Leonard, John Fonoti and Elliott Purcell ran drills in bare feet.
"There was no time to get our shoes," Fonoti said.
Meanwhile, the quarterbacks were flinging in the rain. "We actually did a lot of things," quarterback Inoke Funaki said.
The Warriors were scheduled to practice with shoulder pads for the first time this spring training. But head coach Greg McMackin said he did not want to risk injury by having a full practice in the rain.
McMackin said today's situation illustrates the need to resurface Cooke Field, which is stripped of the artificial turf. All that remains is the under padding.
Athletic director Jim Donovan said chancellor Virginia Hinshaw has designated Cooke Field as a high priority. If things go according to plan, Donovan said, the project might start this summer.
"I appreciate the efforts in doing that," McMackin said.

I thought the D-line were suppose to be the tough guys?
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:40 am
Am I the only one commenting? Hiya!
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:41 am
Hi rage! Hi ST! Too bad Cooke Field was not done when the Murakami Stadium was being fixed up. Might have been cheaper.
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:46 am
AWWWWRIGHHHHT....Fourth...
Like I said on the last blog...maybe they should also see if it would be feasible to enclose Cooke Field as an indoor facility....
GO WARRIORS!!!
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:47 am
gigi...I actually think that the company that did Murakami Stadium offered to do Cooke Field at the same time which would have saved on cost...but you-know-who was in charge of the Athletic Dept. at the time.....
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:48 am
Wreck...about Friday...maybe the others can order pupus prior to our arrival so we can eat when we get there...
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:50 am

April 3rd, 2008 at 11:51 am
Don't forget Stretch too. I think he said he was coming late- of course, he will be coming from Kintaro's... mmm.
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:51 am
Welcome back ST!
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:53 am
Hey Stephen!
welcome back, thanks again to you and the gang for the great pro day coverage.
james - i remember the offer to cover cooke field but someone dropped the ball or was it the baton.
morning gigi and rage!
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:54 am
Howzit Hawaiianbod and Liz!
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:55 am
Hola everybody!
I think the defense went in Klum because Coach Mack has a soft spot for defense. Didn't Klum use to leak also, does that mean it doesn't leak anymore?
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:04 pm
Welcome Home ST,
that was a whirlwind trip wasn't it? good to have you back!
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:05 pm
Hello people.
Such a lovely morning to be running on field turf...if there were field turf.
Anything new added to the blog today? Let's see...numbering looks same, colors look the same...website links status quo...seems quicker...old blog is not accepting comments...just another day in paradise.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:06 pm
whatsup Bulla - was your ear itchy yesterday?
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:07 pm
never mind, the blog just slowed down for me...
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:09 pm
I still can't get the blog to load with the Opera browser.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:10 pm
gigi - I read some of your posts from the previous blog...you are WACky!
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:10 pm
homey - was pretty fast just a little while ago? ie seems faster then ff
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:14 pm
Loa - IE is one of the slowest browsers out there!
This is a list from independent testing:
1. Firefox 3.0 Beta 4
2. Safari 3.1
3. Opera 9.50 Beta 1
4. Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1
5. Firefox 3.0 Beta 3
6. Safari 3.0 Beta
7. Opera 9.26
8. Firefox 2.0.0.12
9. Internet Explorer 7
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:17 pm
homey - no wonder, i using no. 8 and IE 6, time to upgrade
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:19 pm
Good Afternoon,
I'm leery of people that say it might happen. Or it might start.And maybe I don't have faith in people that say Cooke Field is a high priority that might be looked into this summer.Putting your brains together it might be faster if you look at acquiring funds at the grassroots level,through private donations and support.To our illustrious former Warriors alumni in the pros,who have the resources to help,come and answer this writer's and fan's appeal.And immerse yourselves in the satisfaction that you can make a difference in people's lives.Coming full circle is a great feeling that many of us can never experience and aspire.But for the one's that can, I gracefully appeal to you to open up your hearts and help.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:28 pm
huh, homey? Did I talk about the WAC last night? lol
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:29 pm
homey -- it's a secret that Safari is one of the fastest and most heavily supported (by 3rd parties like java and Adobe) browsers out there...Mac and PC versions. But right now, you have to really love blue if you want speed and everything to work.
Interesting info on Opera. I have not tried Firefox 3 beta yet. Should be OK.
I'm at a work site today--surrounded by 56 Safari-using computers.
Well, back to work for me...
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:29 pm
It rained just a little in the Aloha Stadium area where I live but right now it is pretty sunny. Is it still raining in Manoa?
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:31 pm
loa....bulla's ear is constantly itchy.
you see he has a twig growing out of his left ear.
a twig of watercress in fact, which confirms the fact that he has water on the brain.
....and how did the water get trapped in that marble?
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:31 pm
as usual, Al isn't making any sense.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:32 pm
Good Afternoon Loa
How's the weather in Wahiawa today?.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:33 pm
no gg....all homey is saying is that you are wacky.
perhaps its one beck day today?
i tell you, you need to get out of that house. maybe join 24hr fitness.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:34 pm
I posted these near the end of the previous blog, so am repeating here:
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:34 pm
Mike Tsai, if you are reading this. I showed your Hike with Mike website to my daughter this morning. She thought it was very informative. So congrats on impressing somebody who is hard to please.
She is out hiking right now, where I don't know.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:34 pm
as usual the "whooossh!" has appeared today.
i am sure many others got that watercress thing.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:34 pm
ST, I posted this earlier, and Liz said she found a tidbit on Google, but do you know for sure?
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Al, no Becks in the fridge so no Becks in gigi's tummy. I drink only on the weekend.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:36 pm
ralvic, I liked your comments in the previous blog about the Tsaikos representing at the morning practices.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:37 pm
If Colt's agents are related to the SF coach, maybe he will end up a 49er? Hope so!
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:38 pm
that's not true. there was a day recently that you had a midweek teetotaller.
so check your email so you can understand the watercress thing, i don't want you to think that i have begun to speak some gibberish.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Hi ST! Hard to imagine you were in SoCal yesterday...hope you got some rest last night and you will recover from your trip soon. I've done the red-eye + work all day/night thing and know what type of toll that takes. It was easier on me when I was the Princess's age...a decade or two later it is much harder to recover!
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:39 pm
al - hey i got the watercress thing
hawaiianbod - not sure about Wahiawa but i bet its colder then other parts of the island
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:40 pm
i don't think colt's stock will drop from this surgery issue. its been on a sharp incline since the sugar.
anyway, a team would be nuts to pick a brohm or ryan in front of him. colt may have a minor hip thing but the former two have a lot more to be desired in the skill level and mental aspect of the game.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:41 pm
How long was H.Failure here for? How long did Cooke Field sit like that?
And look, JD is already on it hopefully by this summer. We should send the old turf and all the other garbage that HF left us to his forwarding address for his mail.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Hi Princess! Thank you very much for getting the video for us. I'm sorry that you probably had to get set up early while it was raining, but we really appreciate the videos!
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:42 pm
i wonder what st and leila put in their jamba juice?
talk about a love for their job.
mahalo all three of you.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:43 pm
I usually drink midweek when I do not drink a Becks on a weekend. Gotta use em up!
I saw Al's email -- hahaha -- poor bulla and his provocative pose!
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:43 pm
Rivals released their 2009 rankings. Manti is the top LB in the country!
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:46 pm
Interesting analysis of Paul Johnson's Flexbone offense...basically what UH ran when he was there.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:51 pm
Brett Favre may be coming back to play with another team? Maybe those rumors were true about how he felt pushed out by Green Bay's management.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:53 pm
George Mason's basketball coach just turned down Providence of the Big East to stay with whatever conference George Mason is in.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Jay Cutler went after a teammate after the teammate was injured. Bringing up the teammates DUI just because he got injured seems unnecessary to me.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:57 pm
do you think we have a chance of signing Manti next year?
with Adam and Sol graduating, maybe he would consider?
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Loa,
oops!
sorry......i thought you reside in Wahiawa.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:09 pm
It's weird. They fixed Klum, now they're going to tear it down.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:13 pm
ST,
What's up w/Klum Gym?
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:14 pm
ST - Tear it down and then what? New Klum?
It would be weird (could use other words here) if they fix up this blog and then all of a sudden revert back to the old blog.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:18 pm
gigi - your browser doesn't have a status bar?
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Mr. A-House,
You were telling me something about where you sit at Aloha Stadium...south end-zone? What section has a good view? Hawaii Bowl ticket prices posted, and I will be home then! Hurrah! Hopefully the team will be in a BCS Bowl game, but if not, they be home.
Forgot to include Eugene in the mahalos yesterday! Just got through the pics. Thanks for shooting them!
Suggestion for Feedback staff: When viewing the photo galleries, could you reduce the size of the headers on the page (there are no ads showing on the top-plz keep it that way), and add the directional links to the top of the photos. If one doesn't have a large monitor, you end up scrolling down to view the picture, then scrolling some more to find ">> Next" to go to the next picture. Mahalos.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:22 pm
first Al makes no sense (til I saw his email pic of bulla), now homey makes no sense. What is a status bar?
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:23 pm
A-House - I'll be venturing to the Windward side on 4/11...got some business to take care of. How come no one mentions Pake's chinese restaurant? Are they not good anymore?
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:25 pm
gigi - I do make sense. It's just that you don't understand. Anyways, you mentioned that when you scroll over your name you don't see the URL on the bottom of your screen. Am I correct? If so, that means you don't have the status bar being displayed.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:28 pm
Good Afternoon
So I'm in the doctor's office yesterday.And I begin leafing through a Sport's Illustrated.I note the letter from the editor.Blah.The reader's letters to the magazine.
Again I think blah.I then begin to count the number of pages of advertisements-20 to the total number 70-and think that's a lot.Then I come across a football picture of a well known family in the football world.I didn't know too much about the son,Chris Long,a possible first pick in the draft.Up until reading the article I had no clue to who Chris Long was.So I'm looking at the picture-Howie Long,his father,his mother and Chris.Now let me tell you something besides the obvious-we can see where he ,
Chris, got his roots from,the father,Howie is a former Oakland Raider and hall of famer.And towers over the son Chris,who is 6' 4",and 275 lbs.But the mother is beauty-and in the picture she herself might be at least 6 feet.I read a little about the mother and she has a law background.So I immediate think that the parents would have to be so proud of their son,Chris.When you read so many stories about how sons and daughters take different paths than their parents,usually in some cases tragic,it's refreshing to read the story of how Chris Long aspired to follow in his father's footsteps.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Ohhhh, now I see it! I tested the status bar with Garret's links and it works! I never noticed it til now.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Ralvic, that story reminds me of coach Shoji's children and how they are both in the volleyball field like their parents.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:34 pm
gigi - That's why you crack me up.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Glad I provide some humor on the blog! sorry I am such a dunce.
lol
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:36 pm
gigi - you mean "all three" are in the volleyball field like their parents.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:37 pm
STEPHEN- what a great multi-media, multi-modal trip.
Talk about leveraging!
And MAHALO for making the blog the home of breaking news!
And Mahalo to the HA for promoting it!
hi ho
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:38 pm
Loa - my ear is always itchy, especially after having the 'vegetation' take root, at least it's edible
Al - did you say water on the brain...jealous, i got something you don't have, haha
Homey - still waiting for a hana hou for lunch at the sushi stop we ate at
Eyez - you in dresses again? I'm jealous now. haha
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:39 pm
gigi - no, no, no, you are not a dunce! If anything, football fan is dunce-like.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:40 pm
homey, I know of 2 children - the eldest daughter is a director of volleyball operations at Stanford, and the son is a volleyball student at Stanford. Who is the 3rd?
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:41 pm
bulla - I'm game! Maybe next time you can sit on the other side and get first dibs.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Homey:
Sorry, we will still be in Vegas von 4/11/08 isiting MasaBoy!
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:43 pm
homey:
Thanks for the info about the status bar. I, too, didn't notice it before. One of my gripes for this new format was not being able to see the source of our chief intelligence officer Garret's reports. Now, I can see the source of Garret's information and then decide whether I want to link on it to view the entire story.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:44 pm
Homey:
You know, when they did the redesign, they didn't consult me.
I got a voicemail on Monday saying they wanted to go over the changes that our dear readers "suggested."
Of course, I was on an airplane at the time they left the message.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:44 pm
gigi - erik shoji...you can google him.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Mei Ling:
We have season ticket is Sec D, Yellow, in the south Endzone. Excellent seats to watch how a play develops - receivers running their routes, O-Line blocking, QB setting up, defense reacting to our play, etc.
Then, the best is food concessions are very close and so are the restrooms.
We sit in the same area as the Roberts bus drivers and have a ball.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Eric Shoji made the All-State Boys Volleyball Team as a freshman and has continued his leading ways, including being named best defender and best libero for the 2007 FIVB Boys’ Youth World Championship. Eric will play for Stanford in 2008-2009.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:51 pm
I googled Erik Shoji. Interesting that he graduated from Punahou whereas Kawika graduated from Iolani. Amazing family.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:51 pm
ST - Typical yeah. So are you going to sit down with them and go over suggestions? I would tell them to keep consistency, look at the old format and work from there. That's the problem with IT and the users...no communication till after the fact.
That's why I'm a security guard now.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:55 pm
I believe Erik is the starting setter on the Punahou team this year.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:56 pm
Thanks Homey, I'm feeling quite secure at the moment because of your due deligence. Bulla keeps me safe from the tourists, and you deliver me from evil.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:56 pm
I read in the Sports Hawaii forums that Farmdog had a boot cast on today. When did he get injured?
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Stephen, Princess and Eugene - Mahalo for all of your hard work in covering Pro Day.
Stephen - is Klum Gym due for demolition soon? When the "new" parking structure was constructed in the early 1990s, it was only "half" of the new structure - the second "half" was supposed to be in the area currently occupied by Klum Gym. At that time, there was not enough money to build a complete 1800-stall structure, so only "half" (900 stalls) was constructed. I believe the long range plan was to demo Klum and build out the remaining 900 stalls.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Mad Dog - another good feature of this new blog is that when you type out the URL it becomes a clickable link. I hope they don't disable that feature.
They should also enable more font features like size, color, and font style.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:59 pm
ST -- do you need anyone to help you communicate the "suggestions" in clearer terms? I can come down...
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:04 pm
Kekoa - I'd be a billionaire right now if I could deliver anyone from evil!
We'd be having Tsaiko parties everyday. In fact, almost everyone could work for me and be millionaires themselves! ST wouldn't have to worry about leading union rallies and XLiz, bhf2, and all the other neighbor island and mainland transplants could just dial up the Lear jet and be on Oahu for a CC or KC.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:06 pm
SteveM - Don't forget to leave the baseball bat home. I can just picture you..."Louisville Slugger says, fix the damn colors!...BAM"
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:14 pm
Fun to think about how far UH has come in football. In 1995 (thank you SI vault!) UH was ranked #91 in the country. And look at this note:
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:15 pm
Some nice photos of the Warriors at Aloha Stadium here. One nice photo of Vili too.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:17 pm
For the old-timers, here is an article from 1970 about the Islanders. I remember going to some of their games when I was a little kid.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:18 pm
Awesome video Princess Leila!
I'm impressed! It felt like watching a classic Samurai movie directed by Akira Kurosawa. The shoulder pads sitting in the rain, rain dripping from the pads and helmet, then a closeup of the raindrops...classic. I'm impressed!
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:19 pm
Gigi,
Funny, you only drink on weekends. I know it is hard to enjoy a nice cold brew when you keep leaving the house during the week.
______________________
Homey,
If you were a boss and we were making the millions under you, would going to spring practice be "mandatory"?
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:19 pm
Practicing in Klum is a good idea esp to get the guys use to hot and humid weather. On August 30th...it will be "very" hot and "extremely" humid in Swampville. Don't ever recall Hawaii's climate getting close to what the Warriors will experience. Hopefully CMack will get them well prepared for that also!
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:22 pm
why, Wreck, do you drink all week?
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Wreck - Spring practice, Fall Practice, Tailgate, Season games, Bowl game, all voluntary mandatory. Meaning stuff like attending weddings I'll let slide.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:30 pm
Actually Gigi, Sometimes I go home and pour a glass of wine and just kick back.
I was working at the Honolulu design center's wine bar this past sunday and they had to change the wine bottle I was drinking twice... I really don't think I did all the damage, it just was that I was there every time it was empty so the guy blamed me LOL...
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:30 pm
ST - Just curious. Do you know if the other blogs have fewer posts/hits due to the new blog format?
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Does anyone know what happened to Lopaka(Video guy)? Did he go to SMU? I always liked him. Nice guy.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:36 pm
WJD - I think Lopaka Ornellas went to SMU.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:38 pm
Thanks Homey. Too bad, he was always a nice guy to talk to and came up with tickets even when was hard to get.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:42 pm
I decide to step out of my building and to my surprise who do I see? No, it's not homey; No it's not our almighty Princess Leila ( say hi to your mom for us ); but, it's Calvin from Kona who happened to be in my neighborhood on his way to see a client.
Nice to see and talk story with Calvin!
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Interesting info on the non UH players.
I think someone unlinked the video link.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:44 pm
A-House - What building would that be? You work in Kona?
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:46 pm
homey, you beat me to the punch.
I was just about to say: How come the video link doesn't ... link?
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:47 pm
A-House,
You get everyone over there neart your place, even the guy from the big island!? Next time Homey and I will have a BBQ right out side of your door so we can join the club... LOL
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Wreck...
Actually, A-House was headed for his daily workout at 24 HR when he ran into Calvin.....
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:51 pm
James, you were there too!? LOL J/K...
If you did say you were actually there too I would flip...
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Why can't they use the baseball stadium? Isn't the baseball team playing away this week?
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Esme - Looks like someone deleted the tag.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:55 pm
LOL...Nope...I'm still stuck in my office...haven't seen the light of day for a while now.....I'm starting to grow moss already..mwahahahahahahaha
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:56 pm
James, just as long as you don't grow watercress from your left ear like bulla! lol. Did you see his email pic?
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Esme - Looking at the source code again, it seems that the statistics for the non UH players were inserted between the coding for the video link.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Homey ~ I just got a visit from a Brink's home security salesman. Howz that for providence! You work fast Homes!
The guy thought I was Tsaiko when I came to the door LOL! I told him that I just talked to a security expert...I'm good. I'll call if I need back-up.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:57 pm
M, are you back from Japan? If so, welcome home!
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:03 pm
James,
So you never showered either then? Why they working you so hard man! Is "growing moss" apart of your job discription? LOL
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:03 pm
gigi...I was there...live and in-person...mwahahahahahaha
Okay gang, gotta bet back to work....talk later
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:07 pm
Thanks gigi, I'm finally back home after 14 days in Japan. We had to stay an extra day because JAL had problems with the airplane and we couldn't get on another flight so JAL put us up for the night in a hotel. Not a bad place to be stuck in.
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:09 pm
M, I hope that doesn't happen to us! We reserved the hotel for 2 nights only and if we miss one day, we'll be out of luck!
Hubby's colleague said his United AL flight to Japan got canceled and he had to fly out the next day, too.
Horror stories!
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:14 pm
actually we are staying 3 nights, sorry
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:17 pm
gigi - That's not a horror story. A horror story is finding a decayed body under the bed of your hotel room. Check under your bed when you get there. Closet too.
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:22 pm
Homey, yeah, that would horrify me, too. For some reason I've been worrying all day that some burglar will enter my hotel room when I am in the shower and hubby is at the pool, and steal my purse!
What will we do for money!
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:23 pm
and steal hubby's wallet, too.
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:23 pm
gigi - put your valuables in the hotel safe.
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:26 pm
hope the room has a safe!

The Otto Klum.... Parking lot?
Darn... I was hoping they were going to resurrect a new gym in it's place.
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:29 pm
Good Afternoon
I just looked at the yahoo home page and what jumps out is the piece about how tourists should expect to pay more to go to Hawaii.This is scary.And the public reading this will probably opt to spending money on cheaper vacation.The once mainland tourists looking at budget priced Hawaii vacations will go else where.This is not good.
Even the tour companies here,relying on ATA airlines in taking passengers on Las Vegas vacations would probably feel the pinch.I haven't read anything,yet,of how it effects the Las Vegas market.But I'm assume in the coming days we'll read more about how the Hawaii tour companies marketing Las Vegas tours might be forced to opt out,too.Not good.
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:29 pm
I don't read other blogs.
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Did anyone ever figure out what the "Proc" in Otto "Proc" Klum stood for?
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:32 pm
ST, I always assumed it meant proctologist. Was Otto a doctor?

Good Afternoon,
I’m leery of people that say it might happen. Or it might start.And maybe I don’t have faith in people that say Cooke Field is a high priority that might be looked into this summer.
Past indiscretions give way to anyone's doubt, but thus far, Jim Donovan and Chancellor Hinshaw have not given us anything to doubt them on.
Besides I'm tired of being on "edge" when it comes to reading this about the facility issue.
A new year with a new AD and new Chancellor. = new and hopefully good times!!!
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:35 pm
ST - You mean the IT folks don't gather that info and disperse it to the blog hosts?
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:42 pm
Hmmm.... Otto "Proc" Klum was a PROC-rastinator when it came to deciding whether or not to keep running up the score??????????
Ugh... I have no clue...
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:43 pm
They don't give me any numbers because they think I'll ask for money.
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:46 pm
ST,
asking for money? no way, with the palatial home, the trend setting car, the fancy clothes, and the jet setting ways (yesterday LA, today Hawaii), they would not think that you'd ask them for money??? how could they, you are the thermostat, not the thermometer in the room. go get'em

To Kazz, You write as if your upset with me.Why? Do you read completely of what I wrote,or just the part where it seems like I have no faith in the AD or administration? I wrote ,in essence,that we get things done around the athletic facilities on the grass roots level,as witnessed by the acquiring of the softball bracelets,the building of the softball structure and the outfitting of the coaches office all done by the support of the public. The idea about cooke field was instead of waiting and hoping like we do in the past I was hoping and appealing that someone reading could donate. I don't think this is so bad.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Ravlic,
I assure you I was not upset with anyone here. I was just saying that anyone that may have doubts from anything we hear from admin can be justified considering the past.
Maybe what they are waiting for is indeed a donor to come through as I and many of us know that 100% of the funds for such a project can't be coming from any monies within a department already in the red.
That is all. If the way I worded things seem directed towards you and only you, then it is an error on my behald. That was not the intention.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:28 pm
Is Hawaii even trying to recruit Manti Te'o ? I don't see them on his list @ rivals.com ...
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:29 pm
Pomai,
You have mail sir!
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:54 pm
klum going?
gee. i remember playing intramurals at that place.
couldn't it be saved by way of the historic landmarks code?
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:56 pm
troll.....do you actually believe we are not trying to recruit manti teo?
now you see how accurate these recruiting sites really are.
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:57 pm
parting shot for the day....
a few days i posed this question. yes, i know ST has been jet setting.
so, who did take lopaka ornellas' position?
i though it would be mike brewster....no?
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:01 pm
whoa, "thermostat, not the thermometer", good one Bulla!

no kidding, didn't they used to run multi games 'sideways'? it was fun until we saw the other team, the one with REAL athletes.
what say you Al?
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Good afternoon all.
Whew! Long day.
IS IT EIS DAY YET???
Otto "Proc" Klum. IDK what "Proc" is for but check out his W-L records.
1924- Undefeated season. 8-0. Outscored opponents, 185-12.
1925- Undefeated season. 10-0. Outscored opponents, 421-17.
1926- Undefeated season. 1-0!!! Outscored OPPONENT, 101-0.
I wonder if the lone Idiot who scheduled those Juggernauts in '26 was related to Fumbler???
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:09 pm
yah, i remember that two courts in one with the drop down rims.
then, the team comprised of the football players would come out and kick butt. literally. well, they used to act tantaran. i do recall beating a team or two though.
we had some hs ringers on our team. hehehe. some who wasn't even enrolled in school.
even in flag football. one or two games we borrowed this skinny kid who went to school next door. oh, yah, his name was gary campbell.
nobody checked!
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:10 pm
d1....no. the relative is still seeking a final game.
ok. so long guys.
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:10 pm
Hubby is part of Klum lore -- he played a pick up game with the great WILT CHAMBERLAIN -- all 7 feet of him!
I remember collecting computerized registration cards from people manning the tables for the respective classes. There was cardboard on the ground to protect the floor!
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:13 pm

haaa, i used "athletes" to be politically correct but it WAS football players. football players that weren't local players.............yep, even back in my year they had lots of 'tude.
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:14 pm
I only remember those people NOT having the cards I needed...Grrrrr!

April 3rd, 2008 at 5:18 pm
I'm sort of glad UH might build another parking structure where Klum is because I remember how hard it was to get parking permits back then.
And if you were a freshman, forget about the permits cause they all went to the seniors and grad students.
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:20 pm
g('nalo),
Cheer up! Soon NONE of us will be able to remember that! (or where we parked, or what we ate for breakfast, or...)
heheheh
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:21 pm
I hope BSU doesn't get this QB...sounds like he'll go to U-Dub if they offer.
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Another horror story -- When I was a UH student, I parked my car on Dole Street. When I returned, it was gone! The neighbor watering his yard told me it had been towed. I had to walk all the way to the end of the block to see the tow away sign! I then called the taxi and went to the tow lot and paid a bundle of money to retrieve my car.
So, yes, parking permits were a necessity particularly if you lived far away.
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:27 pm
Wouldn't it be interesting if Kevin Craft starts for UCLA this season (highly likely)...and UCLA ends up in the Hawaii Bowl (quite possible because their OL problems might drop them down to the Hawaii Bowl selection) against UH...
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:29 pm
It is sad that LSU keeps giving this QB chances, even though he keeps messing up.
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:30 pm
LSU already booted the QB off of their Spring Practice roster.
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:32 pm
Aside from skipping classes and team workouts, getting into legal trouble, etc., LSU's probable starting QB for the season had this latest incident.
LSU's head coach had to call the restaurant to apologize because apparently the QB didn't bother to apologize. The head coach was forced to apologize for him!
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:35 pm
LSU writers are even calling for LSU to kick the QB off the team.
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:36 pm

April 3rd, 2008 at 5:38 pm
Apparently, the LSU QB, another LSU player, and 3 strippers made up the group at that restaurant. The slur used is also detailed here.
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:59 pm
D1.
I guess all the word about Coach Klum always running up the score on purpose is more than a rumor...
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Kazz,
Looks like that's part of his legacy.
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:16 pm
Has there been any mention of the "family crisis" the Chancellor Hinshaw had being resolved? Hope things are OK
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:21 pm
To those who have been to Japan, what is the best flight airlines (flight, route)? I've checked and its so expensive so I figure I may as well choose the best route for Kevin. He's headed to Osaka for a school year in August. Any suggestions?
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:25 pm
PIAA DS,
You got mail
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:26 pm
D1, that's pretty brutal considering a lot of those teams were not up to par with THE DEANS at the time.
Klum could also be used as a trivia question...
When one asks who is the winningest Coach in University of Hawaii history people would jump at "June Jones", but I think Klum's win record is just a little more than JJ, but of course JJ had the most wins against an all college schedule so I guess technically Otto Klum is the winningest coach in UH football history...
UNTIL MACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:30 pm
Kazz,
Better trivia: Who preceded and succeeded Klum and what were their records?
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:32 pm
G'nalo,
mahalo for the good word, i knew someone might catch that! haha, almost as good as the sushi sliding down Kuni's throat that day, ha!

you're going deep man, don't throw Kazz into that pattern, i don't know if he'll find his way back. he'll be wearing a leather helmet and be missing a few teeth...grrrrr.
haha
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:38 pm
Tsaikos,
gonna roll for a dinner appt., sorry, wish you could all come to Ruth Chris with us, but alas, it is not possible.
since i'm not buying, i'll order big salad, big sides, and take the slab of beef home so i can toss it to Da Beast. no matter what time of day, the boy wakes up for grilled steak....kind of like going to the zoo, but not having to pay the admission fee......
like Las Vegas, with my lactose intolerance, just have to eat some ice cream and it will even have the enchanting aroma of the zoo....eeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww.
talk to everyone later......do they have WATERCRESS at Ruth Chris? i wonder.
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:45 pm
Kazz,
Fear not, the answer is found on the link
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:46 pm
ok,
play nicely boyz and girlz.....see you later tonight........
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Wow Bulla.
Ruth's Chris. Schhhluuurrrppp...mmmmm.
April 3rd, 2008 at 7:02 pm
Back then? According to my friends, it's STILL like that.
April 3rd, 2008 at 7:03 pm
Good evening Tsaiko Nation, Otto Klum gym brings back GREAT memories of some of the best basketball that was ever played on the Island of Oahu. GREAT players from Tom Henderson, Reggie Carter, Melton Werts, Wilt Chamberlain, Isiah Thomas, Danny Ainge, Tom Chambers and the GREATEST volleyball player during that time who died prematurely Miss Flo Hyman. The runs on that court TREMENDOUS with talent from local players John Kamana, Leroy Lutu, Richard Haneish, Jay The Bird Barthlomew of Hawaii Hilo and Big Will Pounds of Chaminade.
GREAT pick up games as players from all over will come to Klum gym to compete against the BEST talent and harness there individual skills. Fierce competition as you had to have game to play against the BEST talent in Hawaii at that time.
With Klum Gym eventually coming to an end it has been a wonderful athletic facility that not only had basketball as it's occupants but catapulted the wahine volleyball team to the CHAMPIONS that you see today. Gymnastics, Intramural sports, class registration and Recreational/Physical Educational classes were use through out my time and athletic elgibility as lower campus was known as the "quarry".
Time has moved on and Hawaii athletics has changed considerably over the years. On campus arena, Les Murakami Stadium and future upgrades for the Champion Warrior football team. It is all good for UH athletics as Otto Klum Gym will go down in Hawaii folk lore history as a GREAT athletic venue in which it housed many fine players and was packed with loud avid Hawaii fans to support the "BOWS" when ever or who ever they may play. Klum Gym I will always remember the home of outstanding athletic play "Thank you for your Greatness"! Sincerely, RainbowCliff.

Garret, thanks for the article about the Hawaii Islanders. I used to live down the street where Alan Wong's is now, and went to many a game. I remember being impressed when they annouced that on the opposing team, the three Alou brothers were playing. All brothers on the same team!

Raymond Elliott, 6-2
Eugene Gill, 2-5
How was the tailgating?
heheheh
April 3rd, 2008 at 7:57 pm
Yeah, Hawaii Islanders.
Wish they nevah get swept by Spokane for the championship.
Chuck Tanner managed a good team though.
Jack Quinn was a sharp guy. Bought contracts for ex-big leaguers instead of only relying on Farm teamers. Brought out the crowds man.
Good fun stuff.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:04 pm
Hi Jason,
Actually my memory cells are long gone...BTW, how are you doing in your Math 373 Statistics course?
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:06 pm
Hey, duffer,
Whyyyy you asking about Jenn Boneza?
Hmm. I haven't seen her in person or talked to her in about 10-15 years, actually. I could put in a call, but ... what would I say? ... "Hey, Jenn, a Tsaiko (she'll hear 'psycho') wants you to come to a party ..." That's when she'll call the police.
Just kidding. You really want me to call her? What would you want me to tell her?
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:07 pm
Mei Ling, you said you lived near where Alan Wong's is? I used to live in the house next to King's Bakery on So King Street opposite Wong's. My grandmother owned the house and the apt bldg next to the bakery. This was back in the late 1960s.
I remember the gong the Buddhist temple used to ring every morning. Did you hear it too?
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:09 pm
It's not hard, the main complaint is that there's not enough time for the tests. We just had one yesterday, so we should be getting it back tomorrow. Didn't have time to think through the last page — I know the number I used for p wasn't right, but I couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be, and I didn't have time, so I just went with that value and did the calculations. I realized what p was supposed to be on the way to my next class.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:09 pm
Hi Duffer,
Wasn't that an emotional moment for you when last Aloha flight left OGG?
Mrs. and I thinking of another cruise; maybe to Mexican Riviera or inter-island. The for sure we'll stop by and hook up with you and Whitey. Right now everything is contingent on health of traveling friends.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:11 pm
d1shima -- Hawaii Islanders... ?
da termite palace. "Rocket" Rod Gaspar. The young Al Michaels moving on and being replaced by Les "ring-tailed howitzer" Keiter doing live broadcasts and recreations on radio. Tommy Lasorda (what team?) getting boo'd and people throwing bags of peanuts at him in the 3rd base box...and him calling time out to put the bags in his back pockets...
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:12 pm
haha Jason, that brings back memories. I took 2 stats classes - 1 in psych and 1 in ed psych. And all I remember how to do is mean and median. I forgot how to do Standard Deviation.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:14 pm
Hi D1Shima,
Tailgating for us students at the old termite palace was zilch. Just whack one bowl saimin and one package boiled peanuts...that was it!
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:16 pm
Shh, don't tell my Math Team kids, but I can't remember stdev either. It's a class that's heavy on the calculator usage, so it's easy to just punch in the data and have it calculated automatically. Yet I always tell my kids I would try to discourage use of calculators in class.
Oh wait, no, I do remember now. Never mind.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:18 pm
We were not allowed a calculator in either of my stats classes.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:20 pm
Hi SteveM,
Remember Bo Belinsky the former Angels pitcher who threw the team's first no-hitter and later was shipped to the Islanders . He made such a "hit " with the ladies too.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:21 pm
Jason,
No worry; I'm confident that you'll come through Math 373 with flying colors.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:22 pm
I'm not worried, just mad I didn't realize the right value of p.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:22 pm
SteveM,
How's about the Columbia in "puka" in right field? Wasn't it Carlos Bernier who hit one in it for the $1000.00?
LTUHF,
What? No frosty malt then?
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:23 pm
sorry Columbia Inn.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:25 pm
Columbia Inn -- hubby and I ate there once. Didn't care for the food.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:25 pm
d1shima,
Nope, no more kala for frosty malt. I spent it all at Kuhio Grill...LOL
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:25 pm
I should say, though, that Math 302 is kicking me in the ʻōkole. That's a hard class. We're working on second-order linear differential equations — the constant coefficient stuff isn't hard, but applications in damping, undetermined coefficients, and variation of parameters are tricky. Doesn't help that I haven't been keeping up with the (optional) homeworks, and the test is next Thursday...
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:28 pm
Hi Jason,
Yup Math 302 Differential Equations is a tough course; are you planning to take partial differential equations too? How many more Math courses are you planning to take?
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:33 pm
Let's decide if I'm going to take 303 first, haha. Um, 8 more classes to go (plus Math 480, Senior Seminar), then I graduate. There are some classes under departments like Mechanical Engineering and Physics that might be interesting; I'll probably take those cause the Math dept doesn't offer a lot of upper-division classes at times that are good for me.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:35 pm
A-House,
Thanks for the information about the south end-zone.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:36 pm
Jason, are you minoring in something? Daughter majored in math and minored in history. I think that because of these 2 subjects, Phi Beta Kappa chose her to be inducted during her senior year. Quite an honor.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:37 pm
Jason, Good Luck! See you at a future CC or tsaiko gate.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:48 pm
No, but she got her B.A., so it's easier to work on a second major, a minor, or a certificate. Plus, getting another major/minor/certificate fulfills the "Depth" requirement, which fulfills the "Breadth/Depth" requirement for B.A. students.
I'm getting my B.S., which requires an additional semester each of Chemistry and Physics, and 15 more credits in Math or "appropriate non-introductory courses in the natural or information sciences."
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:48 pm
d1shima,
Wasn't there some kind of incident right at the start of the championship that made Lasorda going into a rage? Like, didn't we bean his star player? My recall is not that good.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:50 pm
That is, assuming the requirements are the same now as when she went to UH.
And the 15 more credit requirement is for the B.S. in math; the additional semester of Chem and Physics are for all B.S. students. Should have made that clearer.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:54 pm
oldie,
No can remember that. Just remember was a big let down that Islanders lost after such a big romp thru the season.
I think I recall that the regular series with Spokane was pretty eventful.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:56 pm
GG,
I lived right where Alan Wong's is now. Behind the old storefronts: McCully Drugs (comics & candy), the fishing supply store, the barber shop. Across the driveway toward town was a florist & the original Taniguchi Store. My Goong-Goong used to bring home fresh bread in the morning from King's Bakery. Yes, I did hear the gong from the Japanese church across the street and the one behind our house. When family & friends wanted to go to the stadium, they would park in our driveway & in front of the stores, and we'd walk down to the termite palace. Boiled peanuts! Before 1970...
Nightey night...can't stay up to finish watching Miss Aloha Hula online. Yawn... Laters.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:56 pm
d1shima,
How's your FHS class reunion plans coming along?
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:57 pm
Jason, are you in the honors program? Daughter decided not to join it because she didn't want the extra work and stress.
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:00 pm
No way, I'd never be able to graduate in 4 years. They make you take all these extra classes, and then you have to work on your thesis. Math department doesn't even have a thesis requirement, you just take all your credit hours and pass with Cs.
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:00 pm
Mei Ling, I remember the drugs store! When my uncle visited from the mainland, he'd always treat us to as many comic books as we wanted. I remember picking love comics, but my cousins liked Archie and Batman comics. Memories,,,
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:04 pm
When I was little, I won a box of comic books as a door prize at a party the family attended. I think my Dad threw them away, cause I never read them. I got angry at him, because I wanted to check if there were any rare ones in there left by mistake.
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:07 pm
Looks like Wyoming took the 2-for-1 deal and filled Texas' schedule. So, in 2009 Texas will play for the first time at Wyoming.
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:12 pm
LTUHF,
Everyone meeting in LV in Oct.
#2 son gotta decide on college before we can make plans to go or not.
No more ATA and Aloha now I'm hearing that the fares going be outta sight by then.
Auwe.
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:13 pm
Don't know why daughter regrets not becoming a doctor. Just think of all that extra course work she'd have to do to major in science. All in all, she did well to become a certified math teacher instead. Hawaii needs certified math teachers.
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:19 pm
D1-- what about those LV charter flights? I think King's Travel has those. Also, you could try the package LV vacation group tours.
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:19 pm
Doctor, yeesh. I have enough fun watching House on DVD, I could never go through all the science courses.

Jason,
Just curious - what are your career plans? Stats, math or teaching? Is that the only undergrad stats class at Manoa? Pass that one and you'll find the grad level courses in biostats easy.

Genetic differences between people mean that some athletes that are innocent will test guilty in steroids (and other drugs) tests while others who are guilty will get away with it under the current tests. There are also genetic differences and it looks like Asians could get away with doping at low levels under current tests due to genetic differences between Asians and Caucasians.

China's huge industrial espionage campaign against Western companies is called an "intellectual vacuum cleaner".

The Army and Marines bought nearly $3 bil in body armor without even doing the basic early testing to ensure the body armor would be useful. It is scary to me that testing was done after an NBC News special highlighted the issue and 4 out of 8 vests failed in testing.

Husband came home from work and caught his wife (who is a teacher at a middle school) having sex with a 16-year-old boy. He pointed his gun at them and told the teen to get out of the house. The husband now has several charges against him and I doubt the wife will get her teaching job back. If this goes to trial I wonder how the Utah jury would react...judging by the comments on the article, the husband might not be punished too severely.

Maybe she can "do the math" on the earnings difference now.
First step is #2 son's college decision; then can look at travel options.

d1shima,
Sorry to hear that ATA and Aloha jam up your plans. But have to say last year's reunion in Vegas was our best one yet. Great turnout and good fun. For old buggahs some wahines still got it...a former cheerleader did La Bamba, we had Elvis in the house, class magician and stand up comic. Great evening with a great bunch of old time friends. Like Bulla says...make memories.
Too bad we couldn't tie this reunion with the Las Vegas game...

PIAA DS,
I been to Japan 3 times and always flew with JAL. You get first class service by the flight attendents. They are always coming by offering juice, water, coffee, hot and cold tea and free alcoholic drinks during the whole flight. The meals are not bad either.
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:37 pm
M,
haha. I'm sure that's what every Mom is looking for in a flight to send her son to study abroad!

Electrical Engineering is mostly math too (at least the intro courses).

Howzit Tsaikos
Affter watching 2 days pracitce, this is my humble opinion and my suggestions to the coaches.
We gotta step it up some more. We play Florida only one time. Thats the vision. We got 4 and a half months to get ready for Florida. The team is doing good, they can do better. This morning, 4/3/08, at 4:49 am I saw Mr. Aranda go into his office. He was in the office before 5 a.m.. Obviouslyh, that man loves his job. Yesterday, I watched Rich Miano at practice. That man loves his job too. He talks the talk and walks the walk. Nick Rolovich, he talks the talk. I weant him to look great in the UA apparrel. Come on Rolo, you got some good prospects. I like the Austin kid. I like Graunke. I like Funaki. Watch the feet, how fast they are on the first step. That is the key. Watch that first step. You know the other teams are going to be watching their first step too.
No doubt we got great coaches. All the coaches talk the talk. But if we want to beat Florida, and I want to beat Florida, then we all have to step up to the plate. You know what I mean. The players not only want to hear the vision, they want to see the vision. From the top down. They don't want to see you eating breakfast with them, they want to see you bustin butt with them, you know what I mean? Not all of th em can follow direction. Some of them need the visuals too, not just the words.
I just love Coach Rich MIano. The guy is just super intense. So is Malloe and Aranda. And Gerke is a Marine bootcamp DI. I never got to really look at Coach Studs because he was way down the field, just as was Coach Rolo yesterday. But I saw Rolo today and he was gassing the QBs. Great job Rolo. Good man, good language. But Rolo too, you gotta step it up Coach. You can do it. We need you to lead the QBs as we get ready for Florida. You got the talent, and more is on the way.
The older, more experienced coaches, Cal and Ron and Mack, you are the mentors. Visual and verbal. Cal and Ron. you both got great game and great attitude, and you know what you're doing. But to me you are not ready to be like me, great speakers, great eater, you guys got game a specific mission. Not a 5 year mission, but a mission now. This yhear, 4 and a half months from now. Thats the mission, besides winning the WAC, graduating the players, etc. Not just a WAC championship. Thats their mission. I would like to help you change their mission to include specifically naming Florida as a part of the team's mission.
Come on guys, step it up!!!! I seen you. I believe in you!!!! ! LIKE RON SAID, SPRING PRACTICE IS HUGE.
GO WARRIORS!!!!
PS: I met some great fans today. Mrs. Pestana, John Wilbur, Granny Pestana (Brashton's grandma_, Raiders' Coach Lofton. Hope more of you Tsaikos and represent and give our team the vibes.
And to my friend SJ Macro and Mavis, thank you for your kindness. i'll see you in a couple of weeks.
GO WARRIORS.

LongtimeUH Fan
There is a (comparatively) cheap Holland America from Lauderdale to Montreal on 5/4.
Problem is the cost from here to Lauderdale and from Montreal to Honolulu.
If you fly over there, Miami International is about 25 miles to the port and the Fort Lauderdale airport is a 10-15 minute drive to the port. UA flies to both - if they don't go out of business!!!

BHF2 has got me pumped up.
Tom: I'm still looking to see what courses are available. Looking for anything that interests me. Mainly, I'm looking for computer-related courses, I could do better when it comes to coding. I can't take the ICS courses because I haven't taken all the pre-requisites. :-p
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:49 pm
Jason,
Wonderful!! I admire anyone who goes into teaching. My Biostats I & II prof (not at UH) was probably the best prof I ever had. The exams were open book but we had to know what to test to use. Challenging but not onerous.
I digress.
Gators#1 - are you local? or have you been lurking long distance?

HEY QB ALEXANDER AND RAUSCH. Hope you read this. :
I didn't see the D work today because they were in the gym. But we saw the WR QB and RBs today. Some dropped balls because one particular receiver was starting to look ahead before he had the ball in his hands. IMO he needs to spend time on wrist strength but overall he is a great physical specimen. Salas looks really good today. Santos was letting the ball sail a little today.but he is strong. I'm pulling for him, he is listening to the Tsaikos and I appreciate that Mr. Santos. Kiran, looks like you still need more work to get back to 100 %. IMO your first step needs work. To me today the best 3 QBS were AUSTIN, FUNAKI AND GRAUNKE. I'm putting this in here because i want Rausch and Alexander to know you got your work cut out and I am hoping that Mr. Santos and the kanaka kid push themselves some more. But today I really liked Austin, and I'm sure the coach is watching the speed of the ball in flight too, and how fast that ball gets out of there.
This is the beginning of spring practice. There is much work ahead. Here's pulling for our team. I am sooo excited. GO WARRORS.
April 3rd, 2008 at 10:13 pm
oldie,
re post at 8:48pm
Yeah, which star player for Spokane? They were loaded - I remember they had Bill Buckner, Steve Yeager, Steve Garvey, Bobby Valentine, Bill Russell, maybe Davey Lopes too.

hey, there, Esme, I got your e-mail
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:23 pm
So, Kekaula can't make it Sunday, thus your blog host gets to be the m.c. for Wena's concert.
We all remember the last time your blog host had a mic in his hand.

Wassup Doc came up to me at the volleyball match.
She said she had a long discussion with our boss, Mark Platte, about everything she did not like about our new Web design. Sounded like Platte got an earful.
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:26 pm
so who took lopaka's job?
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:28 pm
Some guy named Ryan.
From Delta State.
He looks like Alika Smith's younger brother.
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:44 pm
Big you got me goin now, wen you goin to da next practice?
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:47 pm
WassupDoc, huh? Looks like there might be a Plan B in case Mr. Arvman can't resolve the color problem. Safer and more effective than homey's baseball bat...
Seriously though, Andreas Arvman has been in contact with me seeking further info, symptoms, and tech specs. I appreciate his efforts.
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:50 pm
bighilofan2- Thanks for the practice report!
Did you have any luck at the ticket office? I'm looking for Swamp tix too.

ST -- sorry to hear RK can't emcee. Even though as an emcee you make a great sports writer, I hear Addahknowjoe might be attending.
His stock as an emcee/radio personality has been soaring in recent weeks. He might be available for Saturday night dress rehearsal at the usual place. 
April 4th, 2008 at 12:09 am

the hanada bros. were at odds for a long time wasn't it going back to their ozeki days. then it got worse during the yokozuna days.

el guapo,
Your #245 - Wow! Spokane was loaded. Maybe it was Bobby Valentine who got hit so bad that he had to be taken out.
It was interesting to see the stats on how well the Islanders drew that year even though they were just a minor league team.
