A bittersweet note
By Stephen Tsai
First, there was the ticket fiasco with the Sugar Bowl.
Then there were the problems with the travel party. (Example 1: UH reneged on a promise to pay for a photographer's hotel room.)
Then there was the magical "disappearance" of the bowl prizes — iTouch machines — that were supposed to go to the assistant coaches. (They had been pulled, stored away for who knows what purpose, and then "found." It was the second year in a row the coaches' gifts were "lost.")
And now we learn that the previous administration did not reimburse Colt Brennan for his airfare to the Sugar Bowl. Other teammates who did not travel on the team charter were reimbursed.
I'm sure the new administration will make things right. But, sheesh, what an unnecessary headache.

First ... although I'm not necessarily happy being first when the topic is such disappointments under you know who.
April 17th, 2008 at 12:56 am
The funny thing is that after reading about these constant flubs under the old administration, the first phrase to pop to mind is A-House's "THIS TOTALLY SUCKS!!!"
I love that A-House says that.

Hi, ST!
Hi, Tsaikos! Hurry up and migrate over from the old blog entry, willya?
April 17th, 2008 at 12:58 am
Hi Esme.
SJ, no problems with the photos all looked good!!!
April 17th, 2008 at 12:59 am
Good morning ST - working late like me (lol)
Thank you for the truth. Looks like the former Hawaii A.D. needs an attachment to his resume.
And a top of the morning to Esme, too
April 17th, 2008 at 1:02 am
Hey, you night owls.
Yep, I'm working too.
Funny, I think that was perhaps the fourth or fifth time I've been No. 1, but because of the topic, I don't feel joy on this one. Only ... grrrrr.
Just stopped here momentarily for a breather / stress relief. Now all I need is some jokes from las vegas (oops, did I just open a pandora's box there?).
April 17th, 2008 at 1:17 am
Roaring in at the speed of light is the #6 blog entry!...What nobody home? Even Esme went back to (gulp!) WORK!
April 17th, 2008 at 1:19 am
Kekoa, I'm still here bro. How's you dad doing on the recovery?
April 17th, 2008 at 1:21 am
Test
April 17th, 2008 at 1:23 am
The time stamp for the comments are two minutes fast again.
April 17th, 2008 at 1:36 am
I remember BrianK not receiving an Itouch...thanks to the Tsaikos who quietly got together and surprised him with a itouch presented by ST
April 17th, 2008 at 1:36 am
HF - the disease that just won't go away.
April 17th, 2008 at 1:37 am
Hiflyer, kekoa went to bed a long time ago, he posted in his sleep and that's how come you didn't get a reply...
April 17th, 2008 at 1:38 am
i was just going to hit it......
will the ghost of athletic director's past ever stop haunting us?
April 17th, 2008 at 1:39 am
Fellow Tsaikos ~
I want to say something good about the associate AD since I've recently had some discussions with him as directed by JD. It's just that I have to hold back on the details until the proposition is reviewed for action with the principals involved. It should have a very positive impact on the University as a whole, and the AD specifically.
Trust me when I say that Mr. Clapp has impressed me as someone who is genuinely trying his best to help JD roll things forward. He knows that we Tsaikos are good people to have in your corner, and did demonstrate to me his appreciation for all that we've done to help the University and it's athletes.
I'm looking forward to working with him in the upcoming weeks, and then we should see some very positive results build over the remainder of this calender year. The goal will be to bring UH financial stability.
With that very positive thought, I bid you all a good night! Kekoa has left the building...
Esme ~ you may roll up the sidewalks and tuck me into my cave...Homey get the lights please, and one of our many UH band members may blow TAPS.
April 17th, 2008 at 1:40 am
Hawaiianbod, i'm glad you're up and around. How's your health, whatever it was, I hope its under control..
April 17th, 2008 at 1:41 am
well the good thing is we can all rest assured that jimmy d will take care of all past screw-ups. they will easily be corrected since the jimmy d wasn't around to witness all the mess.
my concern is....how much did/does other staffers know?
shouldn't they have come forward to help right the wrong?
hmmmm.
okay now i'll hit it.
April 17th, 2008 at 1:42 am
Kekoa, i hope you get up for fb practice tomorrow...not to many practices remaining....
April 17th, 2008 at 1:44 am
How can one man do all the above wrongs and no one else knew..ditto Al, the guilty must come forward and face JD and man up to their complacency...
April 17th, 2008 at 1:45 am
lights out
April 17th, 2008 at 1:50 am
Whoa! just as the monitor flickered off I caught some night owls still up on screen, so I hit the refresh button.
Ralph, hiflyer, Hbod, al, I'm ready for your questions.
First answer about my dad's condition is...fragile, very fragile. Physically he is doing very well. Mental strain from all the trauma and drama has taken it's toll. He is clearly on an emotional rollercoaster ride.
April 17th, 2008 at 1:53 am
Al:
Nope, the folks in lower Manoa work hard and do their jobs well. The long-timers there seen it all. Just do what you gotta do and go home. But when the gold medal man came, thats when everyone started to get really upset. But every dog has it day and
that day of independence came.
Sad, the biggest week in the history of the University of Hawaii turned into the worst.
But slowly by slowly, the truth is coming out. And I think with Jim Donovan at the helm,
the truth will set us free.
April 17th, 2008 at 1:54 am
Ralph,
I have my good days then there are the not so good days. My sugars are more under controlled now. Thanks for asking.
Good night, my friend.
April 17th, 2008 at 1:55 am
I blew my chance to go to practice yesterday morning. This morning I've got to get dad to another appointment at the "Jason Elam Sports Center Oahu." They are his contracted physical rehab people...and yes it is named for THAT Jason and not our very own schollie named Jason.
April 17th, 2008 at 2:00 am
H-bod ~ I have to watch the dreaded blood sugar also. My wife has diabetes, but I've been lucky to be able to dance around it, so I test with her kit just to make sure.
Happy to see you and others maintain. I know it's a struggle, and we do have our enticements all around us. It's what we do and the price we pay in Hawaii Nei...
April 17th, 2008 at 2:00 am
Kekoa,
Pops is ALWAYS in my prayers.
May Ke Akua lift his Spirits and grant him Peace. Shalom.
April 17th, 2008 at 2:03 am
Kekoa your 14 post, Good to hear that Clapp understands the power of the fans here, maybe when everything settles down you can give us the full scoops.
Aloha and best wishes for your dad.
April 17th, 2008 at 2:08 am
Kekoa,
Thanks for the Love! It's a daily challenge.
I'll also pray for the Mrs.
April 17th, 2008 at 2:08 am
HiFlyer ~ I think he knows that he is on view. He needs to get this done for his stock to go up. He is bound and determined to do that, I'm sure.
I would love to see this come to fruition and give him full credit for helping put a positive change in place.
Thank you and H-bod for your kind words for my dad. I am hoping that eventually he can spend some time with us at the T-gate and be able to talk football, aviation, and swap dive stories with everyone.
April 17th, 2008 at 2:17 am
Howzit Hawaiianbod, et al,
and good morning.
Hb, guess you gotta lose that body, many of us in that same boat.
take care and best wishes to Kekoa's pops too.
April 17th, 2008 at 2:22 am
Mahalo LV ~ Just wanted to remind you that the stand-up comedy routine you do sitting down is the absolute BOMB!...There are times when you are on a roll with the rest of this zany group of ours. I laff my a$$ off, and then look sheepishly around to see if anybody wen spock me goin' nuts ovah heah in my corner.
April 17th, 2008 at 2:23 am
Howzit LV!
Hope all is well n the LV household.
April 17th, 2008 at 2:27 am
All is quiet in the lv home.

LasVegas & Hawaiianbod ~
Gotta go get my beauty zzz's oddawize Esme going look prettier den me on Sataday.
G'nite guys!
April 17th, 2008 at 2:32 am
Kekoa goodnite,
You may give ESME a run for her money, but sorry, you will always lose to that beauty.
April 17th, 2008 at 2:35 am
Sweet sleep Kekoa.
April 17th, 2008 at 2:43 am
I could really go for a half dozen or so of Dunkin' Donuts right about now.
Too much sugar? I'll drink a diet Coke, that'll even things out, maybe a celery stick too.
April 17th, 2008 at 2:53 am
Too bad Dunkin Domuts folded in Pearl City.
Krispy Kremes is just too sweet.
April 17th, 2008 at 2:54 am
Sorry Julie Andrews,
Mcdonalds burgers and punkin pie fritters,
Zippy's fried chicken and roasted up critters,
brown paper lunches tied up with strings,
these are a few of my favorite things.
Cream filled Twinkies and crisp apple strudels,
Chili with hot dog and saimen with noodles.
Wild geese that cook with the grease on their wings.
these are a few of my favorite things.
April 17th, 2008 at 2:56 am
Hb,
I got em both within two blocks, temptation
April 17th, 2008 at 3:04 am
LV,
Sounds like a winner. Don't forget to get something for the dogs.
April 17th, 2008 at 4:32 am
Just to add more fuel to the fire, where's the list of who went to the SB on UH's dime?
April 17th, 2008 at 4:39 am

April 17th, 2008 at 5:00 am
Good morning ST and the Tsaikos.
I am confused. How can Blaze say that he is a little out of shape because he wasn't running too much. But Clore says they wake up at 4 am and go running. I don't get it.
April 17th, 2008 at 5:03 am
That was a great article by Ferd. I like the last line "In Hawaii he is" famous.
April 17th, 2008 at 5:24 am
Good Morning Tsaikos!!
Who needs coffee in the morning when they can come here to read more about HF F-ups and get the blood pumping??!!?? What ever happened to the list of people who were allowed to attend the Sugar Bowl on UH's tab??
Re: Kekoa's take on Clapp - I am sure that Clapp is a good person with only good intentions for UH, it's just unfortunate for him he is associated with the HF regime. It thought it was a little unfair that when he was the blog guest, he got criticized for HF's problems. Maybe he could have said something as Associate AD, but how many of us go over the bosses head when they have their own agenda?? His hands were probably tied.
April 17th, 2008 at 5:34 am
Aloha Kakahiaka!
You're right, Stretch, no need coffee when you read about the problems that HF left behind.
I hope the audit turns up info about these problems. JD, we know you are above-board, just make sure the auditors look at everything.
If athletics really had a deficit last year, will UH go after HF to recover the bonus they paid him???
April 17th, 2008 at 5:39 am
Good morning, Tsaikos.
Pomai,
trow samoa keroseen on da flame. but when you play wit a pig you going get dirty 2. best we let JD an CC figure out da best way for handle problems involving past UHAD. maybe we get enuf luxury to move forward fresh rahdah dan trying to be one bill collecta an not able to collect from all da collectees. bad press.
speakin of bad press, shoutout Ifor Ryan's hair, much more manly, Keao's hair looks like my granddaughter's. SITCLMAO!!!!
but i can see da difference, Malie no mo tatoos. 
but get da same genuine smile. 
April 17th, 2008 at 5:57 am
Mana Silva,
you settin one high standard for yourself and your family. good for you. i can tell that your parents are really proud by da beem in your ma's eyes. never meet your dad yet but soon. let your wife know we all recognize the sacrifices you both are making for the team, for your future. keep up da hard work. obviously you playin inspirational ball. to be da best, you gotta perform like you da best. the feedback is that people are noticin your hard work and your athleticism. KEEP IT UP.
Coach Mack,

April 17th, 2008 at 6:24 am
Talking about UH's Sugar Bowl money and the BCS conference payouts...it is amazing that Texas Tech *lost* $202k by going to the Gator Bowl!
April 17th, 2008 at 6:25 am
So, it looks like making a BCS Bowl gets a Big 12 team $1.5 mil...that is actually less than UH will get from the Sugar Bowl! However, each BCS team gets their cut of the BCS money every year, so when you add that in they will make a lot of money.
April 17th, 2008 at 6:27 am
The Oklahoma WR got to run again for NFL scouts and got his way and ran on a really fast surface. His time was basically the same as last time and the NFL will add time due to the fast surface, so he'll come out worse than last time! Plus, he's already been made to look really bad by his public criticism of Oklahoma.
April 17th, 2008 at 6:28 am
I'm so glad that they fixed the blog. When I was up early this morning (2.5 hours ago), I could not get to this blog using Firefox OR IE! I gave up and if the blog didn't work now I would have just not posted until after dinner.
April 17th, 2008 at 6:30 am
Nick Saban *really* overbooked his scholarships!
April 17th, 2008 at 6:33 am
This 2009 QB recruit is actually posting all of his recruitment letters on his website. This is really interesting because so many top teams are recruiting him and you get to see the difference in their recruiting tactics.
April 17th, 2008 at 6:34 am
April 17th, 2008 at 6:35 am
April 17th, 2008 at 6:36 am
This is the recruit's website, where you can click on the school and see the scholarship offer letter.
April 17th, 2008 at 6:36 am
I'm glad that he blocked out the phone numbers for the coaches.
April 17th, 2008 at 6:38 am
I really do hope that this guy commits to Florida. If he breaks their national trophy and still commits to Miami, that would be pretty bad for Florida.
April 17th, 2008 at 6:40 am
The SEC conference schedule is amazingly tough, probably the toughest for any conference. Clemson apparently doesn't think it is tough enough because they will be playing 2 nonconference games against SEC teams each year for 7 straight years! I guess that reduces the chances that UH will play a game against a SEC team, as they will be filling their schedule with other SEC teams (plus the standard D-IAA home game).
April 17th, 2008 at 6:42 am
Nice thing that Georgia's coach is doing...this time 20 of his players will be helping.
April 17th, 2008 at 6:43 am
Shoutout to coach Malloe.
the level of intensity must be commensurate with the competition. Florida in 135 days. Go get em coach!!!!!!
GO WARRIORS!!!
April 17th, 2008 at 6:44 am
This is for Jason: Mel Kiper vs. Todd McShay face-off.
April 17th, 2008 at 6:49 am
rage777,
I believe the article was talking about how Blaze and Clore worked out together *last year*, going running early in the morning. That was last year, not this year, which is why you got confused.
April 17th, 2008 at 6:50 am
April 17th, 2008 at 6:53 am
bighilofan2,
I'm sure that the players have classes around noon, so Mack cannot have practice then. That is why they either have to practice in the morning or in the afternoon (like how JJ has practices at 4pm at SMU). It is probably a lot hotter at 4pm than 7am...I know if California the peak temperature seems to be around 3pm or so, and I remember how Austin temperatures didn't drop much until after 7pm. In the summer, it would be above 85 degrees at midnight! The only time the temperature would be cool in Austin in the summer would be early in the morning.
April 17th, 2008 at 6:54 am
Back to work for me...sorry for taking over the blog for a little while, but nobody else was posting and I had to get a lot in before 10am here.
April 17th, 2008 at 7:00 am
ST & Tsaiko Blog Dogs,
Sorry, to hear about Colt not getting reimbursed for travel. He probably forgot to submit 3 copies of his itinerary, 5 copies of his Eticket boarding pass, 2 copies of his approval by the AD to fly separately, a copy of his birth certificate, a self addressed stamped envelope, 4 copies of his luggage tags, receipts for any meals while on travel, 2 copies of rental car agreement, and copy of his Hawaii Driver's License. This must be submitted with a bull dog clip attaching all documents in order along with the official UH Reimbursement for Travel Form UH-234 hut hut! The submission will also include a notarized note from Mommy to travel alone! Documents must be submitted no later than 3 days after completion of travel. Extension of submission time will require, Head Coach submission of Travel Documentation Extension Request UH Form-GAWN2SMU!
April 17th, 2008 at 7:40 am
Aloha Kakahiaka!
Oahu- da big badda BOOM is heading your way!
It sure was exciting around here last night!

Got my lightening video loaded, It may disrupt practice... or appear afterwards.
HIHO!
April 17th, 2008 at 8:04 am
have a great day folks!
April 17th, 2008 at 8:21 am
Liz, thanks for the vid. Hope it doesn't rain til AFTER I go to the bank!
April 17th, 2008 at 8:24 am
What's wrong with this picture?
Since when was 30 minutes a llitle while. I suggest you post in shorter intervals when ever you have all your loaded stuff ready to unload to whoever really reads this stuff in its entirety.
You do seem to overtake the blog and people just tend to run away. Show some courtesy for others and this blog, brah.
If it was that great, the stuff you whip out on us, then you should create your own blog instead of using this place for your own fantasy.
das what's wrong.
April 17th, 2008 at 8:26 am
Good Morning Tsaiko Crew!
#1 Son flew in from Alaska late last night with his family in tow. They said it was snowing in Anchorage when they left...as if was anything new. I think he brought us the wet part of that storm.
Pops goes in at 10:00 AM for his Spring training at the "Jason Elam Sports Training Center" here in Kapolei. For the uninitiated, it was named in honor of the former kicker for UH/DB, and is an obscure little office near the town Library.
April 17th, 2008 at 8:38 am
Whoa whats wrong you need for chill out litto bit
April 17th, 2008 at 8:40 am
Garret now worry, give'um
April 17th, 2008 at 8:47 am
ouch.
somebody got up with a hair in the wrong place.
can't we all just get along?
April 17th, 2008 at 8:53 am
al - at least everyone knows you are not talking about Bulla
April 17th, 2008 at 8:57 am
Good morning everybody!
Thank goodness that we have a new era in leadership at UH under JD. In a nutshell, Herman Frazier's legacy is the biggest problem that Jim Donovan faces now, from facilities to budget deficits, and things like the items posted above. It has been refreshing to see the honesty, candor and humility of Mr. Donovan now replacing the arrogance, deceit and disregard which charachterized his predecessor.
April 17th, 2008 at 8:57 am
Hey Stephen....Are you wearing your Sugar Bowl ring? Bobby Curran is....
Imagine a year ago Hawaii Media were chanting in unison....NO WAY!! would the Warriors go undefeated or end in Sugar Bowl....Now you all got Sugar Bowl rings....LOL
April 17th, 2008 at 8:58 am
al:
somebody need a haircut. cut that loose hair close.
Garret's post is like cliff notes to me. I can get "THE REAL STORIES."
April 17th, 2008 at 9:00 am
What ST and Bobby got rings. That's BREAKING NEWS!
April 17th, 2008 at 9:03 am
I enjoy da human spam machine myself. Even his off topic stuff is interesting. To really appreciate him though, you need to be here when there is a question you need answered; Garret's ALWAYS on top of things...
April 17th, 2008 at 9:06 am
I would be VERY disappointed if ST & BC received football rings as gifts. How can UH buy rings for the media but can't buy something for the members of the softall team??
April 17th, 2008 at 9:06 am
ST:
May I have a replica model? The $100 model w/the cheap jewels?
April 17th, 2008 at 9:08 am
Stretch:
In all seriousness, that is VERY, VERY true!
April 17th, 2008 at 9:09 am
stretch...can you imagine bulla with hair???
har, har, har.
kid...following hf is easy. anything you do is welcomed. it is easier to follow a fumbler than someone who did his job well.
koauka...maybe we could borrow the ring to impress our clients.
April 17th, 2008 at 9:10 am
Al:
Me, impress anybody. But Stretch has a point.
April 17th, 2008 at 9:12 am
back to the game....i am trying to convince some maui people to come on down for the 26th.
on another note...all the repositioning of starters is a good start for this team. it really tells the team that you work hard, you know your alignment and assignments and the door really is open for you. that is a great way to send the message and philosophy of this mack attack era.
April 17th, 2008 at 9:17 am
I am not trying to condemn ST & BC if they have the rings, to me it is no problem. The problem is that UH chooses not to pay for something for the softball and other WAHINE WAC CHAMPION teams.
April 17th, 2008 at 9:18 am
There is darkness so that we may appreciate the light and know it when we see it.
There is ignorance so that we may acquire knowledge and enjoy the process of attaining it.
There is bitterness in the mortal life so that we may enjoy the sweetness of the immortal one.
For everything that makes us move, there is the opportunity to enjoy the stillness.
For every five hundred of Garret's informative, interesting and convenient posts, there is one criticism.
We are all Tsai-kos
April 17th, 2008 at 9:18 am
Okay enough about that.
Time for me to get back to work since gigi & her boss is keeping track of me.
April 17th, 2008 at 9:21 am
Stretch:
Other BCS schools sell replic rings to the fans......another way to make some bucks.
And not awarding a women's team for a championship, I dare to say, Title IX?
April 17th, 2008 at 9:21 am
Al ~
I can't wait to see what the break down is going to be for the Slam Fest on the 26th. I hope they release the team roster by Wednesday of next week so we can drool over the offense and defensive possibilities for each side.

Hey gang...
Just wanted to say Good Morning Tsaikos...
Hope all is well....busy, busy, busy so gotta roll for now....

April 17th, 2008 at 9:51 am
Hi Jammer! Long time,no see!
April 17th, 2008 at 9:54 am
No matter what JD says, we should have another audit of the HF years.
Why?
Because even after he is gone, we are still finding out crap that he did wrong and or just did not do. who knows what else we will find down the road. If those yearly audits from an independant co. missed the smaller details about the Sugar Bowl and other prior things, are they really a valid source?
Administrative and financial aspects all screwed up.
What does Mcnamara and Clapp have to say about this?
Lots of questions and NO ONE answering them.
Whos money is this anyways?
OUR MONIES!!
Yeah, no one likes to live in the past and we all want to move forward, but are we just going to "gaman' ;endure this? Isn't this what HF wants us to do? I'm sure he really wants us Hawai`i people to live up to our stereotypes and say 'nah nah, no worries, its all good'

Good afternoon, Tsaikos and Tsai-Meister,
It is totally amazing to me the incredible incompetence by HF, as more and more of it comes to light. It is beyond me, how this man could get away with such tremendous shibai for so long. This whole thing borders on criminal, deliberate appearing, negligence.

It sure would be nice if we haven't given the fumbler his bonus, would hold on to it to see that in fact he earned it and not fudged the numbers to make it look like he balanced the budget, which we know he did not do. AH poop I thought we where through with that idiot.

Hey, Tsaikos, g'morning!
Hey, Tsaikos who used my name in vain in the past nine hours ... Ok, now I really gotta "get da slippa" ...
(That quote reminds me... where's Pomai these days? Did he get lost in the migration?)

Anyway, FloridaTed and others who called HF's fumbles criminal: I'm witchoo. The thing that frustrates me is that ... I thought lies spoken to a legislative body are supposed to be cause for prosecution or at least reprimand or somesuch. But because he was dismissed before his distortions were brought to light by JD in past weeks ... he escapes punishment?
What a mess. What a shame.
--
OK, you know the deal these days. I'm here. I'm out. Hi ho, hi ho, l'dat.
Despite the gloomy skies and gloomy news ... I really hope every Tsaiko has a good day today. And look on the bright side: Only two days to the K-call, only nine days to the Tsaikogate!

I can't wait to get back to Grand Cayman for my next vacation but I don't think the current dollar exchange rate will hold up for long.
