Hawthorne to join Falcons
By Stephen Tsai
The final member of the Fab Five will sign an NFL contract.
Wideout C.J. Hawthorne has reached an agreemen on a free-agent contract with the Atlanta Falcons.
He will report to their minicamp May 8.
Hawthorne said he will compete as a wide receiver and special-teams player.
"I've got an opportunity," Hawthorne said. "I'll make the best of it. If it's God's will, it'll be OK."
Quarterback Colt Brennan was drafted by the Washington Redskins, and receivers Davone Bess (Miami Dolphins), Ryan Grice-Mullins (Houston Texans) and wideout Jason Rivers (TennesseeTitans) signed free-agent deals.

The previous athletic department's management problems claimed another: Kitty Lagareta.
Lagareta was a vocal supporter of the previous AD. When she served as Board of Regents chair, without questions, she approved the previous AD's budgets. When it was clear that the cumulative deficit was spinning out of control, she praised his management and leadership.
Here's a story from The Tizer's breaking news:
Advertiser Staff
The state Senate voted 16-9 today against confirming communications executive Kitty Lagareta to another term on the University of Hawai'i Board of Regents.
Lagareta, a friend and former political adviser to Gov. Linda Lingle, has served on the board since 2003. She has served as board chair and vice chair.

I was doing some spring cleaning, and found some notes, from December 2006, when Colt Brennan was debating whether to stay or go.
• "One more year gets (the critics) one more year to criticize. ... Everyone is going to expect you to throw 58 touchdowns. Everybody is going to expect you to do better than you did this year. I guess that's the argument to leave. That's what I have to take into account."
• "The positives (to staying) are more experience. ... Right now the team is in a great state. It's going to have a lot of momentum going into next season. ... The notoriety and attention will already be there for Hawai‘i instead of having to go out and earn it like we did this year. There are just a lot of positives to stay, a lot of positives. ... You get your degree. ... You (can) be with your friends. ... I've been talking to guys, and they say: 'You'll always remember that time you went to Boise State or played Michigan State or SC. You'll always remember those games. Once you go into the NFL, games are games. They come and go. It's all about getting to the Super Bow. (In) college, your bowl is to win every game. Every game is important and memorable. Pro football, I hear, is awesome to play. There's nothing better. But it's also a business, whereas college football is kind of the last time where you have that tradition and heritage and all of that kind of stuff, and you're young, and you're with your friends. It's a different experience."
* * *
Remember Lucious Henderson? He is enrolling at UH — University of Houston. He was another one-time UH recruit who got lost in the changeover.
* * *
Remember Will Brogan? He is now the quarterback of Division II California University of Pennsylvania. Great guy, great attitude. Glad he found a place where he could receive a scholarship.

Today's birthday shout-out is to the lovely and witty Lori Figueroa, a first-class worker in the travel industry.

Hey Stephen,
Just wondering about something. When Colt graduated in December he fulfilled his probation requirements, right?
If so, then was he really free to forego his senior season?
How would it work with his probation officer?
May 1st, 2008 at 10:50 am
Colt has been assigned #5 by Washington.
Mojo, my second top 10 also.
May 1st, 2008 at 10:53 am
ST check your email
May 1st, 2008 at 10:53 am
He probably would be on probation. It was a four-year probation, but he got an early release because of his graduation.
May 1st, 2008 at 10:54 am
"One more year for the critics to criticize!" How prophetic Colt was. He KNEW what he was getting into.

May 1st, 2008 at 10:56 am
What size is the Tshirt?
May 1st, 2008 at 10:57 am
Thanks for the read, ST!
Bravo, Colt.
I love the way you let yourself grow up in a way to enjoy the special times of college and youth and not just dive headlong into the responsibilities and pressures of professional adulthood!
You have your degree, yet your education is a neverending process!
May 1st, 2008 at 10:59 am
gigi- gotta be L or XL - that stands for, well you know what happened last contest...
Bwahahaha!

but hubby wears a XXL.
And I don't wear Tshirts so I would want to win it for him.
May 1st, 2008 at 11:02 am
I have lots of other quotes from Colt archived to my blog from the time when Colt decided to stay at UH...looking back, he really did predict the team's success and his critic's reactions to his draft status.
May 1st, 2008 at 11:03 am
Article on Colt from KHNL.
May 1st, 2008 at 11:04 am
On the L&L show, Ron Lee spoke about Colt's CHARISMA and LEADERSHIP -- the intangibles that made him a superb QB.
He couldn't believe Colt was drafted so low.
May 1st, 2008 at 11:04 am
Good Morning Tsaikos! Hey Ronnie...thought I should check in since I told you that I had been neglecting the blog. It already "lost" my post and now I have to re-type.
Liz...are you coming with Ronnie and me to the Fresno game? You don't have to be scared...we won't embarass you...OK...we might...but that's what friends are for!
WarriorMojo...first I agree with you opinion about Colt...second, did you ever get a chance to make the Boise DVD for me...just wondering.
Have a great day!

USA Today says that Tebow might be able to win the Heisman again this season.
May 1st, 2008 at 11:07 am
I hope Soares knocks Tebow out on the first play of the game. Put Tebow on the shelf for the 08 season.
May 1st, 2008 at 11:11 am

Bwahahaha!
May 1st, 2008 at 11:15 am
Hi, Tsaikos and Tsai-Meister.
Very good reminder of what kind of mature and smart person Colt has become. We all have seen him grow up right in front of our eyes. We will be proud of him for many years to come, regardless of how his FB career turns out, but even there I don't have any worries, he will succeed. I love the situation he found himself in very much.
May 1st, 2008 at 11:15 am
Thanks for the info Stephen. I'll thank you again later....around post #150.

Hey Ronnie...we may need to rent a bus or van. Can't live your little angels at home...
May 1st, 2008 at 11:23 am
Oops..I meant can't leave your little angels at home.
May 1st, 2008 at 11:28 am
Hi Rob! You may be right about the van! Hmmm... we could get a really big "H" logo magnet and put it on the side of the van. That would be cool!

One of the most admirable things about Colt is that he is his own man. He amrches to the beat of a different drummer.

PONO,
I actually don't want Tebow shelved for the whole season...but I would love if the D knocked him out of the game. Florida has a big question mark at backup QB, and none of their backup QB candidates was able to grab the job in the Spring.
It actually benefits UH if Florida wins every other game they play after UH beats them. The better Florida does, the better UH looks!
May 1st, 2008 at 11:44 am
BigWave,
Thank you for the info on Will. I think I saw a mention of him (maybe from Coach Ken?) on SportsHawaii awhile back.
May 1st, 2008 at 11:44 am
Number 44 is not me. I've repented, I 've changed. I'm really sorry for lying earlier. Can you all ever forgive me?
May 1st, 2008 at 11:45 am
I unfortunately have to get back to work now and then Faith has soccer practice. So, no shot at the t-shirt I guess...
May 1st, 2008 at 11:46 am
LoL at BigWave! Hey, how did AZ Western do this last season?
May 1st, 2008 at 11:47 am
Hi Stephen and Tsaikos: Your notes are so poignant and it's evidence of Colt's emotional maturity. Been reading the Redskin blogs to see what they're saying about our boy. Some fans really excited, some kind of not so nice. I hope Colt knows that his ohana has followed him in spirit, if not in the flesh, and always will wherever he goes. Looking forward to the Jets/'Skins game in August and the G'ints/'Skins games, hoping to see him ini the preseason at least. Sadly, have to watch on tv. Someone has to die before you can get your hands on tickets.
May 1st, 2008 at 11:48 am
Colt will be alright in the pros. I believe he will develop unde Zorn and the Redskins. Go for it Colt!
May 1st, 2008 at 11:48 am
I wonder if the Tshirt will fit DPK.
May 1st, 2008 at 11:48 am

To atone for my brazen falsehoods, I am declaring myself ineligible for the shirt. If your #54 post is sincere, I thank you for your concern. If you're making fun of me, please leave me alone you mean lady. Can't you see that I've apologized and am trying to do the right thing?

Colt totally knew what he was getting into with the senior season. He sacrificed a lot, but he also got so many "intangibles" that no one can ever take away from him. He's lived the dream so far, and the extra year may even have been best for his pro prospects, if not the upfront $$.

.. That leaves only the passing game due for an overhaul, and what an overhaul it is -- a vast change of pace from fired assistant Al Saunders' infamous 700-page play book to the simpler West Coast offense.
"It's not one of those huge ones like we had before," Hixon said of the new play book. "It's going to be scaled down quite a bit."
Zorn said one of the biggest challenges -- beyond acclimating rookies such as draft picks Devin Thomas, Fred Davis and Malcolm Kelly -- will be getting his players to execute the offense at the speed at which it's meant to be played.
"I'm looking for playing fast," Zorn said. "I think that'll be the most difficult thing as we go along. People will know, 'I'm supposed to be over there; I'm going to get there.' It's how fast. This offense is played at a very good pace."
Zorn said he doesn't expect any jitters Friday. Those might come in September, when there are games to be played that count in the standings.
"I'm not nervous. It'll really be just more excitement," said Zorn, who plans to spend most of his time during practice tutoring Campbell and the other quarterbacks. "I have veteran coaches. It's not like I've come to a staff of rookie coaches who don't know what they're doing. ... I'm letting the coaches coach their positions."

when has a person had such an impact on the whole state of Hawaii and all of its people like Colt? He's right. the NFL is a job. College was sorta too, but it's more fun. I think Matt Leinart came back for his senior year too for the same reason.
And since when have you heard so many girls & guys(!) say they love a guy like Colt for what he did for the team & the state.
i got teary when he announced he was coming back. hope he can prove to the nfl and the rest of the doubters the same way he won us over.

Good to be back in the islands!!! Tried to keep up with the blog, but it was hit and miss...nothing like being HOME...
Touched down at 0330 (3am) and got home just before 5am. Crawled into bed and crashed after 10 hr flight with Betty having a touch of food poisoning. Had gotten up before dawn for 6:40am appt at air terminal, but that was pushed back to 10:40 after being delayed already from previous afternoon. I'll post more later (after 9pm since it's not football related).
After checking Redskin sites, I firmly believe that Colt will light it up there...perfect situation for him. Time may prove me wrong, but I believe that corollary 13b of the Tsaiko manifesto says that we are allowed to be irrationally positive in our Warrior and post-Warrior support. ALOHA!

fishing is a sport so......i am watching this video of some local guys who went on a fishing expedition. it was dated mar 12 05. they were catching a boat load of fish, you name it they landed it. mahi, ahi, aku, ono, all of em.
but, the thing that got me most was at the beginning of the show the oldest guy with the huge beer belly and santa claus hairdo is seen "throwing net". they flash to his catch of o'ama by the hundreds. yes o'ama, baby goatfish. they were all caught with illegal "eye" throw nets. busted.
but i was more disgusted at that scene. no wonder the people of hawai'i no can catch o'ama anymore!!!!
auwe!
May 1st, 2008 at 1:35 pm
ok...I'll help you guys get closer to #150.
my good deed for today...
enjoyed the video of the newly blond baseball players...good luck to the Baseball Bows in their last home WAC series!

Bulla Tanks for the info on Fred...
More reasons to support a local boy doing good in the restaurant business.
BTW, they fillmed a lot of the movie "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" at Fred's restaurant.
I was there a few weeks ago and E! and some other Hollywood crew were interviewing stars of the movie at the restaurant.
I'm so out of it, I didn't recognized any of them. Fred was telling me their names and I said for the last 4 years I only watch Keiki kine movies with my sons.

Brigham Young carries a 10-game winning streak into the season, and if the Cougars keep winning, they might be in position to follow Utah, Boise State and Hawaii and secure an automatic berth in a BCS game. The Cougars have four players on the preseason watch list for the Rotary Lombardi Award: DE Jan Jorgensen, TE Dennis Pitta and OLs Ray Feinga and Dallas Reynolds. …Hawaii lost not only coach June Jones and QB Colt Brennan, but the Warriors need to replace six defensive starters and seven on offense, including almost all of their skill players, from last year's Sugar Bowl team. New coach Greg McMackin's team opens at Florida.
May 1st, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Hi General BG and Betty!
May 1st, 2008 at 1:37 pm
DPK,
From what I've been hearing Fred is doing really well with Ola's and is a big name in the Hawaiii restaurant scene.

May 1st, 2008 at 2:36 pm
chawan, I'm getting lost on tv tonight, or the computer tomorrow night.
May 1st, 2008 at 2:40 pm
jojo,
i'm lost right now.
here's one of my favorite movie quotes:
`Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?', Alice asked,
`That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat.
`I don't much care where--' said Alice.
`Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.
`--so long as I get somewhere,' Alice added as an explanation.
`Oh, you're sure to do that,' said the Cat, `if you only walk long enough.'
May 1st, 2008 at 2:48 pm
So how can LC, Lo, and Audrina afford to live in that huge LA house?

Finally, Brooke White is off of AI.

Other than UH...
Whether it's BYU, SMU, Idaho, or Duke, ainokea...
Just as long as it's not Fresno State!
May 1st, 2008 at 3:02 pm
And the best part about Colt going to the Skins... nobody talks smack like a Redskins fan!
It is so funny reading all the Colt haters posting on the Redskins message boards and the Washington fans standing behind Colt and giving them a rash of ... stuff. Particularly if the poster was a cowboy fan. I can picture tears dropping on their keyboards... ha!
May 1st, 2008 at 3:04 pm
Still cannot view the blog using the Opera browser.
Kazz - If it's a home run then it is fair. Was that a gigi?
May 1st, 2008 at 3:05 pm

Who d'ya think will win the AI competititon? They've got some singers this time. Archuleta will be getting a record deal one way or the other doncha think?
May 1st, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Homey,
Not really, just one podagee way of saying "fo shoeua dey gon sweep"
May 1st, 2008 at 3:06 pm
I have the worst writer's block today. I've tried all of the tricks, nothing is shaking loose.
May 1st, 2008 at 3:13 pm
DPK -
David Cook is the most versatile. He takes songs to another level,
Archuleta can sing and has the "cuteness" so he may get all those teeny booper and gigi votes.
Jason Castro is like a Davey Jones...
Syesha - okay but forgettable.
If I was to buy a CD from the above 4 it would be Cook.
May 1st, 2008 at 3:14 pm
David Archuleta has a beautiful voice. What talent! Only thing wrong with him is he's short (per hubby). Will he wow the ladies if he is the Idol? I really don't care how short he is. I love his voice.
May 1st, 2008 at 3:14 pm
DPK - It's Lei day, go lei yourself! That will give you inspiration.
May 1st, 2008 at 3:18 pm

You lei yourself, you look cool, local. I lei myself, it can give me athsma.

how would height have anything to do with stardom and wowing the ladies?
paul anka = 5'6"
tom cruise = 5'7"
May 1st, 2008 at 3:28 pm
gigi - did hubby think Ruben Studdard was too fat? What did he say about Fantasia? Taylor Hicks? Jordan Sparks?
May 1st, 2008 at 3:28 pm
What was the winning number again? 1,500? Still got chance.
American Idol:
David Cook is by far the most polished and interesting performer of them all.
BYU, Utah, TCU, Fresno, Boise will all have at least one loss, only Hawaii has a chance to pull out the miracle. I'm not a homey, ah, Homer, lol.
May 1st, 2008 at 3:31 pm

RE: Fresno State as 2008 BCS Buster.
No doubt it would be a good "three-peat" for the WAC and $$$$ are needed on our end as always, BUT...
I have my reasons and as they say: "if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all".
May 1st, 2008 at 3:44 pm
I would have bought a CD from Micheal Johns too... I hope David Cook wins... in the end he will sell more CDs than the other guys still in the competition...
May 1st, 2008 at 3:55 pm
So that's 3 for Cook, 1 for Archuleta.
May 1st, 2008 at 4:01 pm

the boss also likes cook.
May 1st, 2008 at 4:20 pm
i like carly smithson over brooke and syeesha. but, the popularity contest that is is often very cruel. maybe if her husband stayed home or wore long sleeved turtle necks she would have had a better chance.
castro, has a fan base in spite of his lack of height. he should be next, i keep saying.
well, anyway you look at it. the two davikd should be the two finalists. either way homey, they have something that you do inspite of the taller pundits critiques. one is a lefty and the other is vertically challenged.
May 1st, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Poor Kitty, taking the fall for Aunty Linda and her peeps. Hey, it was not like she was the innocent one.

Koauka:
Don't feel sorry for Lagareta.
I attended some of those BOR meetings. She gushed over HF. When he announced the $7,000 surplus a couple of years ago, even when it was clear that future monies had been moved, she said something ridiculous about how HF taught her what WAC meant. Her problems from Saint Louis carried over.
May 1st, 2008 at 4:52 pm
I guess you could say that Lagareta's tenure on the B.O.R. seemed more like someone else was spoofing her tenure on the B.O.R.
May 1st, 2008 at 4:59 pm
". . . what WAC meant."
What is that? "We ain't counting"?
"We're all crazy" to believe you?

Inspirational Story of the Month ~
Female small college softball player for Oregon team hits a game winning 3 run homer, her first EVER. She rounds first base doing her home run trot, misses the bag, blows out her knee by turning too quickly, and crawls painfully back to first base.
By now she is crying crockodile tears, and can't even stand up because of the pain. The ruling is, if she is replaced by a pinch runner, her homer becomes a single, and only the 2 runners that were on at the time will be able to score. Not a real problem, because her team will still win the game by one run.
Her team wants her to have full credit for her once-in-a-lifetime homer, but if they help her around the bases, she will be called out by the umpire.
TO BE CONTINUED.....not!
Here's what happened. The gal that plays 1st base for the Washington team has her hook her arm around her neck. The girl playing short stop supports the other side and they ask the ump if it's ok if they take her around all the bases to complete the circuit...he says, "there's no rule that says you can't."
When they get to Home plate, everyone is cheering for the losing team for showing genuine, unselfish sportswomanship. Enough tears to fill a swimming pool...game over. Can I get an Amen brothers and sisters of the Tsaiko Nation?!
May 1st, 2008 at 5:01 pm
Sorry, all. I do not even know the woman. But any friend of Hermie is no friend of ours. And, that, makes her fair game. Or fairly gamey, as the case may be.
May 1st, 2008 at 5:07 pm
wafan - Can they administer corporal punishment with that rejection? There are some things that were used in the middle ages that have a lasting effect on one's character when it comes to matters such as this.
May 1st, 2008 at 5:08 pm
...not to mentioned future applicants to the BOR!

Kekoa,
A-M-E-N!!!
BTW I think SportsCenter covered this last night and I believe Brew posted something regarding a "softball" story... Not sure if this was the same one or another one.
May 1st, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Koauka:
No, it was literally that WAC stood for Western Athletic Conference.
She actually told that story right before accepting HF's budget.
We're all staring at each other, going: "Un-bee-leeve-uh-ble."
May 1st, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Kekoa,
I Googled some articles on this and the story is spreading like a wildfire.
Nice to hear positive news on athletes before the NFL season starts
,,,
But seriously.. that's not the inspirational story of the month, IT'S THE SPORTS STORY OF THE YEAR as far as I am concerned.
May 1st, 2008 at 5:25 pm
that's WAC'd!!!
hopefully she knew what UH stood for.
May 1st, 2008 at 5:34 pm
The only way somebody as incompetent and close to criminally negligent as Herman Frazier could last as long as he did, is that people, who are overseeing him, are even more incompetent and stupid than he is. That Lagaretta sounds like a complete dingbat.
May 1st, 2008 at 5:34 pm
CC . . .
Yep. "uh" is the sound one makes when having a brain-fart. Similar to "um" or "ah".
Or is the University of Houston Fighting Rainbows?

Corporal punishment. In the olden days, go to Damien and tell Brother Ford he is incorrect on any topic. Then tell him he does not know a single thing about anything. Voila! You learn about corporal punishment.
Talk about making sure you do not repeat the same error -- let alone even think about anything like that -- ever again.
Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
May 1st, 2008 at 5:44 pm
kitty's probably related to the ex-chancellor what's her name. ms. makeup-an-excuse??? danced around questions more than the abc stars. maybe she and HF were in it together.
thank goodness we have Ms. Hinshaw. prayers go out to her and her family.
May 1st, 2008 at 5:46 pm
Kekoa . . .
Actually, it is very similar to the stink-eye you get from upset Asian women. Except the terror of the stink-eye lasts longer than the pain of the physical beating. Still wake up at night in a cold sweat from the last stink-eye I got from Mom about nine years ago.
I think it is called PTSD -- post traumatic stink-eye disorder.
May 1st, 2008 at 5:48 pm
Chawan,
I know all of us were apprehensive about Dr. Hinshaw coming in, but she has proven herself thus far and provided the kind of leadership that has been lacking for a while at Manoa.
Hopefully in the next few years the team of Donovan and Hinshaw will have completely erased the follies of the Legion of Doom.

Incompetence breeds incompetence. Now they are gone.
Success breeds success. Hinshaw/Donovan -- we are going to be successful! Whoo-hoo!
May 1st, 2008 at 5:55 pm
Can anyone confirm this non-sense?
I caught a thread on the "topix" message board forum something about UH Manoa starting a program to feed ferile cats on campus and spending $3,000.00 for this project???
Two things:
-What??? How self-destructive is this considering the new turf at Les Murakami and the pending changes to the once feces-riddled Cooke Field???
-Or the thread was meant to be sarcastic considering the sightings of a professor going out of the way to add to the problem.
May 1st, 2008 at 5:58 pm
CONGRATS C.J.!!!
Good things come to good people.
May 1st, 2008 at 5:59 pm

Kind of like the nutty professor? Or a bit more eccentric? People do interesting things.
May 1st, 2008 at 6:01 pm
Wafan,
I could have sworn I saw that person doing so out of their car in the early morning before football practice started.
May 1st, 2008 at 6:02 pm
Shucks, almost forgot!
Good to hear from Wassup Doc. Your insight into the inner workings of the legislature and pending bills provided a lot of valuable information. And, by making some of the information public it helps keep the politicians a bit more honest since what they do is viewed on this public forum.
Way to go!
May 1st, 2008 at 6:04 pm
RE: Field Turf on Cooke Field
Not sure if there are any more obstacles to overcome before the money allocated by the legislature, as mentioned by Rep. Takai yesterday, but I wonder what is going to be done to avoid the animal feces issue when field turf is installed there.
I will never forget ST's report of trace amounts of cat feces being found underneath the old surface on Cooke Field.
May 1st, 2008 at 6:07 pm
Maybe this could turn out to be an "undercover" job for the Princess! Get out there and do some early morning shooting of the Cat-Feeder.
Perhaps Kazz, CC, and Jason could go out with her to help stake the place out.
"Shhhhhh, be vewy, vewy quiet. We're hunting for the nutty professor. Heh-heh-heh-heh."
May 1st, 2008 at 6:09 pm
Go CJ!
Heard from Rich Miano on the Bobby Curran show this morning that the odds are against most free agents making a team roster, but I know the Fearsome Foursome of receivers are a special group!
Here's hoping all the Warrior alumni kick butt at mini-camps and keep on the gas pedal throughout the preseason. I believe!
May 1st, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Time to check for cracks!
See a few of you in the morning.
May 1st, 2008 at 6:11 pm
Wafan,
No need stake the place out.
You can probably find the culprit parked on the bottom level of the parking structure in the last row facing the rock wall, in the 10th or 1st stall closest to the tennis courts.

Back from a month in Mexico, great trip(stayed away from Tijuana ans Rosarito).
Not really surprised Colt went late, but excited about him being with Zorn. Ideal situation, because his register wil ring with his first re-up after three years.
Also we almost forget that he is 24 years old. Remeber the difference in our own lives between 21 and 24. Military had a lot to do with most of us older folks but working world also affects our visions and intensity.
Sic em Colt!

For reasons I'm not allowed to discuss, there will not be any new videos posted by union staffers until May 20.
May 1st, 2008 at 6:54 pm
Congratulations to C.J.!
May 1st, 2008 at 6:55 pm
Congratulations to Jayson for winning the shirt!
May 1st, 2008 at 6:56 pm
ST,
You had mentioned that the movie passes would go to the winner if he/she lived on Oahu. Jayson mentioned that he was in New York, so I'm guessing he cannot use those movie passes in Hawaii. You might have to have another contest tomorrow.
May 1st, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Looking for stories on the Miami Warriors, this article caught my eye.
May 1st, 2008 at 6:59 pm
St ~ For reasons we are at liberty to discuss, it don't make no never mind...long as we have Liz, sj, & chawan_cut, we will be just fine...get plenty videos!
May 1st, 2008 at 7:03 pm
Interesting that the NFL draft might move from New York to LA. If it does come to LA, I might attend one day to cheer for the Warriors that will be drafted (like Adam, Sol, Mouton, etc. next year).
May 1st, 2008 at 7:07 pm
evening gang ! just wanted to stop in for a fast one.
ST - whatever the reason you cannot discuss, you have my support, we'll be ok here
Kekoa - great story, amen
congrats and good luck to CJ
see you tomorrow, i wonder how d1's team did?
May 1st, 2008 at 7:08 pm
Kekoa,
I personally will really, really miss the Princess' videos. She does an amazing job getting the stories that I'm interested in and her access lets us get a glimpse of the player's personalities.
May 1st, 2008 at 7:08 pm
Seriously Speaking Tsaikos ~
All are welcome to a very relaxing, *mom no need cook* buffet this Sunday, May 4th @ 10 AM. We are gathering at the Kole Kole Grill for what us regular West Side guys usually call our Tsaiko Coffee Call on Sunday mornings.
This time we decided to open it up to whom-so-ever wants to come join us. As usual the talk centers on UH Warrior fb. In future weeks, we will move the coffee call to other locations on island.
For more detailed info, please click on to SteveM web site, or take a peek unda-neat my name above.

Nice for C.J. to get a chance with the Falcons. He's a long shot, but he's also a sleeper. And you gotta like how he said, "If it’s God’s will, it’ll be OK." We don't take that attitude enough.
While everyone is talking about the softball story, how about this: Tennessee's Chris Lofton kept secret the fact that he underwent cancer treatment between the 2006-07 and 2007-08 seasons, but now he's speaking out.
May 1st, 2008 at 7:11 pm
kekoa,
well, there's not much UH news in the news, so i don't have much videos to post either....
we will miss the 'tiser videos though. hopefully they will return sooner.
May 1st, 2008 at 7:15 pm
It is sad that the National Player of the Year for high school girl's basketball has *quit* the sport. Apparently the nasty recruiting battle over her made her not want to play basketball anymore.
May 1st, 2008 at 7:18 pm
I cannot believe that a 21-year-old guy would try to forge a check and claim that his girlfriend's mother wrote the check to him. That isn't the part I can't believe...I cannot believe that he wrote the check out for $360 BILLION!
May 1st, 2008 at 7:19 pm
Liz,
Thank you for trying to help me out with the shirt. I didn't deserve it though...but I would have given it to my parents if you gave it to me. Maybe that would stop my Dad from mentioning that I should have let him know about the Tsaiko-gate and Hospitality room for the Warrior Bowl!
May 1st, 2008 at 7:21 pm
ST:
Sarcastic me. Like I really feel sorry for Kitty, the gold medal must have blinded her sense of reality.
See you drink the kool-aid, and this will happen. Kitty must have liked the taste.
May 1st, 2008 at 7:31 pm
CONGRATS, C.J.! Great to hear the Fab Five are all on teams right now.

ok.
I met Kitty Lagareta many years ago. She was an initial supporter of Hawaii OnLine when it became Hawaii's first ISP. I'm sorry to hear about the current circumstances and wish her the best for a brighter future.

Sad, sad, sad that I cannot post comments on articles. I forgot my password! I emailed Arvman last night about this, but he has not responded. I wonder if he even knows how to access the info and tell me my password.

Garret's dad-
Please post on the blog and say hi! We miss you and the whole family - thanks to your family, a bunch of Tsai-kos were able to have a great time in the Superdome!

The only way somebody as incompetent and close to criminally negligent as Herman Frazier could last as long as he did, is that people, who are overseeing him, are even more incompetent and stupid than he is. That Lagaretta sounds like a complete dingbat.
May 1st, 2008 at 8:00 pm
Florida Ted,
I was tryin 4 say b4 da page wen poof an i neva finish is dat: u sir are a genius. As how incompetence works, you surroun yourself with incompetence so you look good, until da dam busts and you get da damn message.
So I was tinkin about our odda coaches. get any like dat still around, or are all da teams backin up dare coaches?
just askin, cuz i dunno....

This is how you get your password. First, send Jason $5,000. Then, click on Log in. You should then be able to click on "Forgot Password?" Enter your e-mail address, and it will be sent to you.
May 1st, 2008 at 8:16 pm
I tried it out myself, and it works! They actually reset your password, and send you a replacement one. Use that to login, then you can click on "Change Password" to change it to "muumuu" or whatever you want.
Hey, I was thinking about the video hiatus. Is that why Petranik put up that lamer than chawan_cut video of "Advertiser stories in progress"? I was wondering what that was all about.
May 1st, 2008 at 8:24 pm
BigHiloFan2, (312),
Bolla must go, he's useless. Trapasso must show next year, otherwise we should look elsewhere there too. All other sports are in very good hands now, in my opinion.

May 1st, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Florida Ted,
but you would agree that its Jimmy Donovan's call, and we should give him the benefit of the doubt, whatever his decision, right? I mean, he might be stuck with a clingy thingy from HF days, or whatever. I trust Jim D to do the right thing. If he cut him, I'd support him. If he doesn't this year, I'm sure he'll choose the right time to say something.
Meanwhile, I agree with LizK. Gotta deal with Shoji fiirst. And meanwhile, Jimmy should also talk to Wilton. He may be thinking about Utah and family, and the transition should be smooth now or down the line. He's a great coach and he knows we mean him well. If he's still got the fire, great. i think he does. And Nash. gotta support him too. c'mon you guys an gals, the Legislature just backed us up (UH Athletics) big time. Time to get da pot back on da fire for all sports.
GO WARRIORS. GO RAINBOW WAHINE.

May 1st, 2008 at 9:04 pm
Nah. It's somebody with no imagination.
May 1st, 2008 at 9:05 pm
My alterego is FalseMojo
May 1st, 2008 at 9:07 pm
RainbowMojo has posted before. Not sure who he is.
So WarriorMojo, what say ye to my plea that we get together with prideperiod, and the two of you teach me the finer points of offensive line play? I gotta know, if I'm going to live my dream of retiring early and becoming a scout for the 49ers.
May 1st, 2008 at 9:07 pm
Rob25, I do have your DVD. Email me at WarriorMojoRocks at Gmail dot com.
May 1st, 2008 at 9:09 pm
Yeah, I need my two DVDs too. I forgot about those. I need something to keep me busy during the summer; seven UH games from last year will do that.
May 1st, 2008 at 9:10 pm
Jase: Yeah, I saw RainbowMojo before. He/she can stay with that name. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really matter.
As for O-line stuff, Pride is the man you want. I really don't know anything. I just like to watch playe over and over to see who did what on each play.
I'm sick that way.
May 1st, 2008 at 9:11 pm
Luke aka WarriorMojo: "I am your fada....."
And Will Brogan's other highlight - Reading his book between plays ie Jonathan Moxon. "HEY MOX YOU SKINNY A$$ B*TCH! LETS ROLLLL!
And Colt also adds: THEY ARE WHO THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE! THATS WHY WE TOOK THE DAMN FIELD! IF YOU WANNA CROWN EM THEN CROWN THEIR A$$! WE LET EM OFF THE HOOK!
May 1st, 2008 at 9:11 pm
Which did you need? BSU and UW? I thought I gave them to you at a cattle call. Email me.
May 1st, 2008 at 9:13 pm
RainbowMojo, oh, so I guess that means I kill you?
May 1st, 2008 at 9:13 pm
ummmm. jase, did i ever get my dvds from you????
you know the one that the falsemojo's alterego made for me?
May 1st, 2008 at 9:15 pm
NO, that's not right. I almost kill you, but then I let you go to avoid going over to the darkside.
Hmm, but in real life I'm already there; I'm a lawyer. Say your prayers.
May 1st, 2008 at 9:15 pm
yah, that was the bsu and uw.
May 1st, 2008 at 9:15 pm
Nah, don't be shame. You both know your stuff. Now, if someone wants to know about QBs, I say, let them come to me. But if it's about O-line, I go to you two.
And yes, BSU and UW. You gave me Al's BSU DVDs, which I gave to him after he gave me hard time about it. I shall e-mail you as well.
May 1st, 2008 at 9:17 pm
To clarify: WarriorMojo had Al's DVDs for BSU, but he didn't show so I took them. But when Al gave me hard time about keeping them, I gave them to Al. So I need DVDs for BSU and UW from Mojo. I guess Al might need the UW DVDs as well, but I never got those from Mojo.
May 1st, 2008 at 9:17 pm
Good luck to Davone! Article about the Dolphins' rookie minicamp. All of a sudden, Miami went from Bess being the only undrafted free agent WR to their having FIVE undrated free agent WRs going to their rookie minicamp. There is an opportunity for playing time for the winner of this battle...best of luck to Bess!
May 1st, 2008 at 9:17 pm
RainbowMojo and anyone else who is unsure: I'm just fooling around so don't take anything I say seriously. It's intended to be humor, but probably not coming across that way.

Liz,
My Dad did post here before--he was actually a poster for a milestone on this blog. However, his computer crashed soon after that and then the blog moved locations and he hasn't successfully come here since the blog moved. He's an example of someone who was lost due to the blog move and the way it was executed. He and Mom are waiting for me to go to Hawaii again to set up their computer for them and Dad already asked for me to go through a tutorial for the new blog.
I'll bet that my parents will go to a Tsaiko-gate next season. They both loved talking with the Tsaikos in New Orleans and were so impressed with you and the rest of the folks they met.
May 1st, 2008 at 9:31 pm
Ho fo shizzle! Papa Tsaiko in da house! Free whatevahs fo pops if he does karaoke fo us!
And yo WarriorMojo - No Sked! Get chance!

May 1st, 2008 at 9:32 pm
I know Stacy Kaneshiro.
And Keith Kaneshiro.
And Eugene Kaneshiro.
But Kevin? nope.
May 1st, 2008 at 9:32 pm
Always thought CJ was way under rated. JJ did say either CJ or Mouton was the fastest guy on the team. One of the reasons he switched from D to O. Having played on both sides of the ball should help in making a team. While developing as a receiver he can play on the kick coverage special teams. Free agents besides quarterbacks and lineman types usually earn their roster spot more for their special teams play than their position skills. Good luck CJ. Work hard and stay humble.
May 1st, 2008 at 9:33 pm
Were Rainbow Mojo and Warriormojo separated at birth?

May 1st, 2008 at 9:39 pm
There we go! I was looking for Scott's e-mail, but it wasn't listed on the Contacts page.
So I've cooked dinner, washed the dishes, and went through the bills. Maybe it's time I actually study for the test I have tomorrow. Can you believe that; prof decides that hundreds of final exams can't be graded by the time final grades are due, so he gets special permission to move it up early. So instead of Fri May 16, the first half is tomorrow, and the second half is Wednesday. And on Wednesday, there's a 5-page research paper due. What fun!
May 1st, 2008 at 9:41 pm
duffer: He does stuff with computers. Can't remember the name of the place.
Just by Googling, I see there's one at Vacations Hawai‘i. Not the same.

May 1st, 2008 at 9:52 pm
jason,
yes. that was pretty boring. not lame, just boring.
if you can't read the breaking stories on the main page to begin with then you shouldn't even be on the internet.
May 1st, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Exactly, it's all in the breaking stories anyways. Who needs to watch a video to get the headlines. That's uber lame! Rather, we need a new word for it. Give "lame" to chawan_cut, but we need a new word for that video. Seriously, it was useless. I thought it was an inside look at the world of Advertiser reporters.
May 1st, 2008 at 10:07 pm

That was a lame-o video.
We've got this other strange feature in our paper. A guy picks his favorite photos from the wire service. He doesn't shoot the photo, edit it, crop it. Nothing. Just picks his favorite.
Lame-o.

May 1st, 2008 at 10:33 pm
Here's my log for the trip -
Objective: Travel from Oahu, Hawaii to Osan, Korea
Initial – Forget about the lead up drama to leaving Hawaii. I posted about it…it was a mess
Phase 1 – Caught C-17 to Yokota the on Monday. There were no flights to Osan for the next 3 days. Kadena showed nothing also. Went to Travel office and purchased one way tix from Narita to Inchon. Flight was leaving 1400 the next day so we stayed at Kanto Lodge (nice) and took the 0900 shuttle bus to Narita
Phase 2 – At Inchon, located USO desk and was just in time to take free shuttle bus directly to Dragon Hill Lodge in Yongson. Rented a cell phone in DHL lobby area so we could communicate with family. Found that we could call out, but local economy cell phones could not call into the base. We were definitely missing a piece of the puzzle. Our rented cell had all incoming calls free, but only 27 minutes for out-going. We worked around by having SKYPE on our laptop and using that to make out-going calls cheaply.
Phase 3 – Because of set family commitments, we missed flight to Hickam out of Osan on Sun. Took shuttle bus from Yongson to Osan the next day. Bus stopped right at Turumi Inn…another nice facility. Found out no flights to Hickam, Kadena, or Yokota for next three days. However, the next morning, I walked down to check again and found that there was a 1300 roll call with unknown seats to Fatenma in Okinawa. A quick google showed it to be close to Kadena. Rushed to check-out and get to terminal. 1300 was pushed back to 1400 and then 1520. Turned out to be Marine general’s private jet dropping off some folks and picking up one for Kadena. No waiting. Load up and in the air, ASAP. Luckily, upon landing, found that the other occupant was heading to Kadena and had his truck. We hitched a ride to Shogun Inn. Pretty full, but we got lucky again. Terminal rep said C-5 with 73 tentative seats to Hickam at 1700 the next day. Next day, 1400 phone call said delay to 0640 the next morning. Next morning, 0600 call to recording said flight roll call delayed to 1040. Took advantage of delay to go to newly located Immigrations office (off base). Had forgotten to go the previous day when flight was delayed because I was on the phone to American Express and Tokyo all day after discovering that someone was ringing up charges on my AMEX in Tokyo. Explained and didn’t get a hassle from Immigrations…was stamped in and out. Did not want to go back because it was raining and the taxi ride took about 15 minutes one way. With the wait time (about 15 min), the round trip cost $38. Instructions at terminal said to be checked in and manifested before going to immigrations. They did take retirees and those with Japanese passports to the head of the check in line. But, with a lot of passengers, it would be problematic. Flight executed as scheduled with plenty of room to stretch out and sleep for everyone.
Promise that I didn't embellish things...it's my story and I'm sticking to it
:
May 1st, 2008 at 10:37 pm
If it's hard to figure out what I said about the trip, it's probably because my brains are still mush from jet lag and the long flight.
Gonna go do more Zzzzzzz
May 1st, 2008 at 10:39 pm
al,
how u man, long time, kekoa and I was wondering about you.
agree with you about Sonny Chiba. hope this new one is just as good. finally got to see [if true] how his eye was injured.
May 1st, 2008 at 10:54 pm
BG ~ Tell me the truth...you swiped this story from a Korean Drama coach putting together another series for Koakane & Jason to wonder if was true or not. If not, you should produce it.
Since we have no video coverage from the HA until May whenever, the continuing episodes of Betty & BG on the road to nowhere will fill in very nicely.
The main thing is, you returned safely, and hit all of your appointed rounds with a little extra exciting and unplanned detours on the side.
Welcome home BG family!
Happy Lei Day!

Remember Lucious Henderson? He is enrolling at UH — University of Houston. He was another one-time UH recruit who got lost in the changeover.
at least he didn't sue us.

Al, Koakane,,,, The Eyepatch Legend
Legend has it that Yagyū Jūbei had the use of only one eye; most legends state that he lost it in a sword sparring session where his father, Yagyū Munenori, struck him accidentally. However, portraits from Jubei's time portray him as having both eyes. The truth is unknown and several authors of recent have chosen to portray Jūbei as having both eyes, though the classical "eyepatch" look remains standard. Others have chosen to have Jūbei lose an eye as an adult in order to incorporate the eyepatch legend.
In popular culture, Jūbei's eye patch is usually just a sword guard with leather wrapped through it. An alternate dramatization to this is found in the manga Samurai Legend, in which a swordsman is seen walking with a sword guard on his right eye, matching the popular culture image, while another character of similar stature follows behind. A group of samurai recognize the eye-patched man as Yagyū (Jūbei) Mitsuyoshi, although this identity is not volunteered. This Jūbei is literally disarmed five pages in, only for the two-eyed Yagyū Jūbei following behind to reveal himself a second later. The fiction appears to imply that Yagyū Jūbei is known through local reputation to have an eye-patch; hence his body double wore one to convince others that he is the real Jūbei (even though the real Jūbei has the use of both eyes). There is no further explanation in the story or by the author why the body-double has this eye patch or where this reputation came from. Near the middle of this manga, the real Jūbei loses his right eye in a swordfight and for the final chapters, he wears an eye-patch. Another exception lies in Jubei-chan: The Ninja Girl, in which the eyepatch passed onto Jūbei-chan is heart-shaped and pink.
Jubei has lost his eye in different ways in various media. In Samurai Reincarnation, his eye is lost in a training session with his father, Tajima. In Shogun's Samurai, it is lost when Ogasawara Gensinsai cuts through the door striking Jubei in the eye. However, in Yagyu Conspiracy, this is changed and his eye is now lost to an arrow shot by Noble Ayamaro Karasumasu and Ogasawara Gensinsai ends up only cutting Jubei's arm.

(general)BG- great story! Glad you guys made your rounds safely - except for the AMEX thing.
So- Yongson...wow. I used to live down the street at YaksooDong - actually, Kekoa and I figured out we were pretty much neighbors in the 60's!
Jase and chawan - is it me or did that "working on stories" video feel like a monitor cam until the closing title?
Hmm... I should try that.
Hi boss, these are the things I am working on...
May 1st, 2008 at 11:23 pm
koakane: I watched it, didn't care for it all that much. The political intrique is interesting, but they really draw it out. And the actor portraying Jūbei doesn't seem to have much of a connection with the others. I doubt I'm going to continue watching if this continues. I just didn't care for that first episode at all.
May 1st, 2008 at 11:25 pm
I was watching the NFL roundup on NFL channel a few mins ago.
Mayock comes on and is speculating about the 3 receivers drafted by the Redskins and saying something like - this could be great or a bust.
No word about the gunslinger drafted in the 6th round.
I got a good feeling about what Washington is thinking about with Colt and the receiving corps but Mayock pi$$ed me off and I turned the TV off in disgust.
May 1st, 2008 at 11:29 pm
BG -- welcome back! Were you able to meet TChahng in Korea? If so, what was the date (Korea time).
May 1st, 2008 at 11:34 pm
BG,
Your trip diary reads like it should be a PBS documentary. (maybe I've been watching "Carrier" too much over these last few nights) What an adventure you guys had.
May 1st, 2008 at 11:41 pm
I havd a lukewarm feeling about The 7 Duels series too. Having seen all the Yagyu Jubei series with by Sonny Chiba, it is a different production. Since the 80's I have always thought that Shinichi (Sonny) Chiba epitomzed Yagyu Jubei on film-- just as, say, Henry Fonda epitomized the President of the U.S on film.
May 1st, 2008 at 11:47 pm
I loved all the series during that time- Yagyu Jubei series with Sonny Chiba, Abarenbo Shogun, the one with the policeman that did not use a sword, sheesh, I've forgotten all the names... and the travelers, all those KIKU evening shows!!!
Now I'm hungry for saimin...
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:02 am
Liz -- did you and Bighilofan2 get your tix for the Florida game? If so, what are your section/row numbers (I'll add it to the Florida game Tsai-ko page).
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:07 am
BG made me crave some noodles. Just got back from Zippy's with a big cup of Won Ton Mein and another container of gravy and veggies. Now I'm adding some shrimp and extra char siu into the soup base. Ouch! I'm on fire! The sticks are burning up with flavor-flave! Mmm...ono!
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:08 am
Hi Steve! bhf2 snagged the tix. He may have reservations or actual tix by now.

More for those looking forward to the Warrior - Gator showdown in The Swamp:
This apparently is the Stephen Tsai blog equivalent for Gainesville. Claims to be a blog, but has very few commenters. Most excitement was 14 comments responding to predictions about spring practice.
Comments are typical recycled hate talk and jock sniffing. All of the focus is on the rivalry with Georgia. Nobody talking about Hawaii.
May 2nd, 2008 at 1:25 am
The Gainesville Sun gatorsports.com football page shows Florida's 2008 schedule with the opening game against "No. 19 Hawaii" which gives us some respect by showing our AP end of the season rating. (Florida's end of season AP rating was No. 13.) Interesting that the end of the season coaches rating had Florida at 16 and Hawaii at 17!!
If you click on the hot link to Hawaii, it shows two stories that suggest our program is struggling - the dispute with June Jones over the $400k, and Keenan Jones suspension. The only other story is the $4.4 million payout for the Sugar Bowl.
Until we show up, we are just the "Fighting Rainbows" to Gainesville folks. LOL!!
May 2nd, 2008 at 2:51 am
Loapaka, did you post a comment that we are not the Fighting Rainbows but the Hawaii WARRIORS.
May 2nd, 2008 at 3:09 am
SteveM,
Met BG with 1500-1600, Sunday, 27 April (Korea), 2000-2100, Saturday, 26 April (Hawaii) at the Dragon Hill Lodge in Seoul (lMilitary Hotel like the Hale Koa in Waikiki)
Talk story topics:
Price of rice.
Hoarding rice in Hawaii.
Warrior Bowl, "Green should be beating Black right about now."
Notable Tsaikos
Military careers
Family
The Warrior Beat
Da Warriors
Da ex-girlfriend inviting herself to my apartment.
Not necessarily in that order. Sorry A-House. We didn't talk about Korean dramas. Had a glass of the house micro-brew Amber beer at the "Oasis" bar. Was ono!
May 2nd, 2008 at 4:10 am
Good morning everyone!
Hope it is a good day for all. Heck, it is Friday -- how bad can it be?
===
Mr. Tsai . . .
No problems with the video. Maybe it is something CC could work on if he has some time. Why is the Humane Society or Hawai'i ASPCA not involved?
May 2nd, 2008 at 4:12 am
And, welcome home BG and Betty!!!
Sounds like quite the adventure. Glad to hear you are both safe.
May 2nd, 2008 at 4:58 am
BG,
Welcome back! It sounds like you had an eventful trip and I'm sure that you had a great time.
It is great that you and TChahng got to talk story!

LSU *finally* kicked their projected starting QB off their team. He had so many off-the-field incidents that I couldn't believe he was being kept around. Missing team meeting, skipping classes, tardy or missing conditioning workouts, DUIs, restaurant incidents where the coach and AD had to apologize for him, etc.

"Quarterback
Sam Hollenbach’s best hope is that Colt Brennan has to spend the ’08 season on injured reserve. Otherwise he’s gone and Brennan is the #3 QB."

"WIDE RECEIVERS?
There is one problem with focusing on Henne. He isn't likely to have any elite players catching his passes. After neglecting the wide receiver position with each of the team's nine picks, the Dolphins at least added five undrafted free agents to give the team enough players to run routes for a rookie minicamp. Then again, who knows? We will watch Hawaii's Davone Bess, above, and Georgia Southern's Jayson Foster to see what they can do."

Good Morning Tsaikos!!
Happy Aloha Friday!! I would sing the song but don't want you to think I am an alcoholic.

Wife and I are driving up to Jacksonville to see the daughter and grandkids, yeah. We're going through Gainesville and do a little more scouting in the swamp on the way. Have a great weekend everybody.

Welcome home BG and Betty.
Stretch,
Why would you think we would think that? heheheh
OK, so maybe SLS was just sleepwalking thru the game yesterday; I was telling koakane tomorrow's game is more meaningful 'cause it's for the overall league championship and the seeded berth in the state tourney. That said, there's always that little guy you gotta keep in mind- Mo Mentum.

here's da scoop. Fla. neva send me actual tix yet, said coming in 2 months. Fla. tkt office jus said me n Liz get [prolly nosebleed section] seats. so now dat we're at least in da house, i going stubhub every other day or so to look for low # seats in section 36, 38, 40, try for upgrade, $ permitting, and sell da Fla. tix day projecting us to now sit in. also going see what UHAthl going say since I on da list for 5. if UH "offers", I going with UH sections. bottom line is if can can, no can no can. just wanted to make sure we in cuz Hawaii only get 4,000 tix spots. dats da plan for now anyways. proper prior planning prevents poor performance.

Good Morning
Looking at the papers this morning.I find no editorials pertaining to the ousted Board of Regent member.The SB has detailed reporting,more than what we read yesterday,and the HA has no articles today.The other paper gives a scorecard of how the members of the Senate voted.This paper keeps us in the dark.Again, it's anyone guess if it's done intentionally.
My opinions:If the very same reasons why Sakamoto,Chair of the Senate Board of Education,cited as the reason for not reconfirming another term for Lagaureta then wouldn't it make perfect sense that McCain should have been on the hot seat before anyone else.McCain's the direct descendent of all the problems at the UH.He manifested the problems.He stares the problems on a daily basis.And he's already admitted in a press conference that he should have taken a closer look at the athletic director,football coach and the athletic facilities.The school is 300 million behind on repairs because of who? A board of regents member or the direct leadership of McCain? McCain should be the recipient of finger pointing,not only Lagaureta.
Continuing,if Sakamoto and the other members of the Senate are people of integrity then we should be interrogating McCain unmercifully on the stand.What they can't do,is think the panacea of the problems at the UH is to put the Board of Regents on notice while McCain is in the throes of continuing mucking it up at Manoa.
