"Happy" days are here again
By Stephen Tsai
One of our favorites is rejoining the Warrior football team.
David "Happy" Gilmore, a safety who completed his eligibility in 2003, will serve as a graduate assistant this season. Gilmore will work with the defensive backs.
"This is a great opportuity," Gilmore said. "I couldn't pass it up."
After earning his bachelor's degree in travel industry management, Gilmore managed a popular restaurant in Waikiki. He then moved to San Diego, where he has worked in the group-benefits business.
UH associate head coach Rich Miano and assistant coaches Nick Rolovich and Brian Smith urged head coach Greg McMackin to consider Gilmore.McMackin was the UH defensive coordinator in 1999, when Gilmore was a walk-on freshman.
"I don't think he knew me too much," Gilmore said. "I think I was fourth string."
But Gilmore was a hard-working player and a diligent student of the game. He ascended the depth chart, and at the start of his junior season, he was awarded a football scholarship. He was a part-time starter as a senior, when he played despite a herniated disk. Gilmore said he will move to Hawai‘i next Saturday. He will stay with former teammate Keani Alapa, now a police officer.
"I'm excited to get back and work with college kids, helping them graduate and do the right things," Gilmore said.
That's Gilmore (green jersey) making the tackle in practice:
* * *
Defensive end David Veikune has gained 5 pounds and now weighs 255.
* * *
Expect big things this season from cornerback Calvin Roberts and strong safety Erik "E-Rob" Robinson. They, like cornerback Ryan Mouton, were delayed in starting their UH careers last summer while awaiting certification from the NCAA Clearinghouse. Now that Robinson (pictured on the right) has fully healed from shoulder surgery, both players should be ready entering their senior year.

Happy birthday to Midori7, a pure-hearted UH sports fan and a great neighbor. Here is Midori7 (left) with Ronnie:

Good morning Tsaiko's. Had a buncha post toasties to catch up on since the other night. The Ronnie & Rob show with birthday boy Rich and the "WWW" as the feature act was awesome. Wait until the Blog Bash!
Met up with Liz at my cousin's funeral on Kauai Friday. We laughed and joked about the night before! It actually helped buoy my spirits at this sad event. Thanks Liz for being there, the family really appreciate what you do.
My iphone batt died from neglect, so sorry I couldn't hook up with you for a mini-CC before flying back from Kauai.
June 21st, 2008 at 2:23 am
Congrats to David Gilmore.
ST: Does this hiring fill out the coaching staff?
Is the maximum number of GA's two?
June 21st, 2008 at 4:16 am
Aloha Kakahiaka! Hope everyone has a great day!
Happy Berfday, Midori7!!!
"Happy" to hear about Gilmore joining the staff. As a GA, what's he studying?
Happy, happy, joy, joy!

June 21st, 2008 at 6:47 am
Hi BHF2, did you see your pic on my blog? Between you and Barry, you guys really filled the room. So tall!
June 21st, 2008 at 6:49 am
Good morning Tsaikos. A happy birthday to Midori7 and have a great day.
BHF2, sounds like you had a lot of fun. IMHO, the UH media would probably do more, but ST promotes their program daily that they don't know what else to add. actually get plenty other things to promote at UH and they should not be afraid to post or pass info to the media on at least a biweekly basis. they were hired to do media work, not administrative work. can you imagine if ST's boss hired a reporter and all he did was administrative work and not put out anything on a daily basis. that is what appears to be the case with the UH media guys. that is one of the major reason why the other schools always try to be in the news.
June 21st, 2008 at 6:49 am
Howzit Gang how's everybody today, all recovered I hope?
Happy Birthday aunty Midori7
June 21st, 2008 at 6:50 am

June 21st, 2008 at 6:52 am
Good to see the old school jerseys again, hope UH still get em somewhere and can have one throwback home game this year? Just hope we not reffered to as the Rainbows if it happens though.
June 21st, 2008 at 6:54 am
Veikune going be beastin on Olineman this year and putting some QB's on there okoles. I can envision double digit sacks this year and couple opposing QB's in comas. Glad to see he putting back on some weight after losing alot from last year. No matter though cause I know that guy can lift one house!

June 21st, 2008 at 7:12 am
Michelle Wie is also dating a 7 foot student. I don't know if she ever dated in high school. Hubby remembers hearing/reading that she refuses to date anyone shorter than herself. Isn't she 6'1" tall?

Hi Brew!
June 21st, 2008 at 7:32 am
Outstanding game last night by Kurt Suzuki! Not only did he have to catch seven different pitchers over 11 innings, but he had his biggest offensive performance of his career! He went 4-5:
- a 2-out, 2-run HR to take the lead in 4th,
- a 2-out, 2-run 2B to take back the lead in the 8th,
- and the game-winning rbi with a 2B in the bottom of the 11th!
His batting average is back up to a respectable .278 - not bad for a "defensive player". Congratultaions Kurt!!!
June 21st, 2008 at 7:35 am
Hey! You neighbor isle folks ..... are copy cats!
June 21st, 2008 at 7:35 am
Mahalo, BHF2, for visiting my site. Saw your comments...
Hi, Liz. Thanks for letting me see my pics first before posting them. I hope I didn't break your camera! haha
June 21st, 2008 at 7:36 am
Brew, Hallmark cards should hire you!
June 21st, 2008 at 7:37 am
Hmmmm... I see I invented a new word! I meant to say - Congratulations Kurt Suzuki!
June 21st, 2008 at 7:38 am
What is kulolo....?
June 21st, 2008 at 7:48 am
isn't kulolo = taro? did I misspell the word?
June 21st, 2008 at 7:50 am
Actually, I was impressed with bighilo He walks in, they all respond.
Then again, that's the change since Mack/Donovan took over. MacDon have reopened the athletic department — both physically and in spirit. Now, if you need to talk to someone, you show up an talk to someone.
June 21st, 2008 at 7:58 am
Kurt Suzuki ruined D-Backs' Dan Haren's shutout this week when they played in PHX. Fun to watch a catcher hit so well.
Congrats to Jon Hee! Playing for the Red Sox will be a wonderful experience. Hope he doesn't get traded before he can play in the Bigs.
June 21st, 2008 at 7:58 am
Aloha all-
Hau'oli La Hanau Midori7!
Welcome back to the Warrior Nation David "Happy" Gilmore!
Good Luck to Michelle Wie!
June 21st, 2008 at 7:59 am
GG, kulolo is taro, coconut and absolutely yummy!!! Miz LizK brought it, I assume...
June 21st, 2008 at 8:01 am
gigi - Excellent photos of the R&R bash! Thank you for sharing!
ST - How's the new camera? I saw twin-J last month. I tried to get the dirt on you and Margo! But no..... nothing! Only that Margo was so sweet, and ST was quiet and shy! Shy!!?!
Okay - I see both twins together in a couple of weeks and I'll find some dirt... even if I have to make it up myself!
June 21st, 2008 at 8:06 am
I wasn't sure what kulolo is, but all I know is that it was really delicious. I wish I could have taken some home to eat the next day.
Liz, are you gonna serve kulolo at your Rotary party next Sunday?
David and I will be on Kauai next weekend to attend Liz's golf tournament and induction as President of the West Kauai Rotary. More Tsaikos should attend.
June 21st, 2008 at 8:10 am
I've never had the good fortune to taste this kulolo from Liz K's thoughtful neighbor!
I know you can buy kulolo at several local eateries including Young's Fish Market.

Hiya,
Still working on the pix... sooo many!
And still meditating on what it means to be a Tsai-ko.
Not too many places where you instantly become something just by showing up with good intentions.
It is a sum much greater than any of its parts.
Some of those parts include
unconditional love
trusted friendships
safe haven
room for personal evolution
non-judgmental environment
fffff
generation span
socio-economic span
racial and ethnic span
quiet expressions of volunteerism and altruism
healing of differences and evolution of thought
creative outlet, opportunity to bring joy to others w/o fanfare
opportunity to bring joy to others with fanfare
respect and remembrance of Ke Akua
Basically the closest thing I have experienced of living in the enjoyment of a peaceful world.
Everyone should know what it feels like at least once.

June 21st, 2008 at 8:40 am
MUSCLE MILK seems like that's the drink of champions for the football boys on campus. Maybe they should try get them to help sponsor the football program since in almost every picture somebody has one in hand...just a thought.
June 21st, 2008 at 8:55 am
Whoah - I had to check the spelling... good... I did mean viscous! That is an odd word - looks like many other similar words including:
vicious visual vital vitreous viscous visceral virulent virtuous virile

Good thing you checked your spelling. A missing letter her, added letter there could get you in a lot of trouble. Hehe.

ST can't be all that shy if he is willing to speak on radio.
Did I ever tell you I was a commentator of HPR for 15 months? Had to speak for 2 minutes each time. Trouble was my mouth got really dry and you could hear my tongue clicking against the top of my mouth.
Cure: eat li hing mui prior to speaking.
June 21st, 2008 at 9:08 am
just thinking of li hing mui makes me salivate!

hey Brew, if I drank CR prior to speaking on the radio, I would end up SLURRING my speech. So no can!
June 21st, 2008 at 9:28 am
Kekoa- e kala mai for missing you on Garden Island!
June 21st, 2008 at 9:29 am
CR makes people do lots of things...like....picking up a mic and singing karaoke...or taking in the stars from the bed of a truck.
I'd be afraid to eat li hing mui before public speaking. I'd be afraid that the salt would get stuck in my throat and I'd go into a coughing fit and paramedics would have to be called.
June 21st, 2008 at 9:30 am
actually, come to think of it, it was not li hing mui. It was LEMON PEEL.
wow! salivating even more now.
June 21st, 2008 at 9:33 am
Yups the best thing is if you can actually read that, then you can handle CR cause das how dah words going look anyway.
June 21st, 2008 at 9:34 am
Good MorningTsaikos!!
Happy Birthday to Midori7, I hope you enjoy your party at Chuck E Cheese.
June 21st, 2008 at 9:34 am
PB, yep, das right! I could read it with no trouble. Crazy, huh?
June 21st, 2008 at 9:41 am
Too funny!
BTW...
What did you and Rich shoot at Waikele?
June 21st, 2008 at 9:42 am
Okay - see you Tsaikos later. I've got to find someplace cool to hide! We're well on the way to passing yesterday's toasty 103/104! Almost like being in PB, MeiLing, or las vegas country.
June 21st, 2008 at 9:45 am
Happy Birthday Midori7!
hey, what happened to the numbers?
June 21st, 2008 at 9:46 am
duffer - no shots just beer!! LOTS of beer. If you are talking about golf, we started out good then I guess the alcohol started to kick in, it went downhill. We had a great time, along with my friend Sleez.
June 21st, 2008 at 9:52 am
See, and my english teacher thought I couldn't write cause das how went look to him, please, whatevas, everybody can read that
June 21st, 2008 at 9:55 am
What happens when a switch hitter faces a siwtch pitcher?? It happened Thursday night in a Class A game.

June 21st, 2008 at 10:01 am
M Wie shot 1 over today, with 4 birdies and 5 (five@#$%$#$) bogeys. So now she is -1 for the tournament. Not good. Somehow her course management sucks or she get brain lock. I still support her, but I think it is getting time to seriously consider changing her coach. Now swing is not only problem, also putting (ave 28), but she can't hit the fairways worth beans. Hit only 17 fairways in 54 tries. That is terrible. Can only hope she does better, but at this stage, i think it is like p-----ing in the wind.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:08 am
whitey - Wie does need a better coach cause everytime I hear about her, it's always something wrong. I cannot play golf for chit so I cannot talk, but everytime I hear about her in one of the tournaments it's never good news.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:09 am
But Wie has been playing better this year than last year!!! Think positive.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:10 am
Hau'oli la hanau Midori!

June 21st, 2008 at 10:11 am
We are wondering how many balls to take to Liz's golf tournament next Sunday. Hubby saw 24 balls for $30 at Costco. He might buy them next Friday and we will take 6 each with us.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:14 am
Yes she has been playing way better than last, just hope she can improve her game and be the female Tiger Woods without the injury
June 21st, 2008 at 10:14 am
Wie's game now reminds me of when the greatest UH pitcher, Derek Tatsuno, came to UH, pitching coach tried to change his natural style, then they realize that it not going work, so let Tats pitch and rest is UH history. Then Tats, goes to Japan and they change his style and end his career. Michelle's golf history is follwing a similar path, change coach, change swing, lose game, and now make excuses of getting better, but in reality, is getting worse. Swing looks like a robot that has absolutely no confidence or trust.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:15 am
gigi - you will need a LOT more than 6 each. If it is only 9 holes, you will do fine with 24 balls for the both of you, I hope.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:16 am
hmm, Stretch, you expect us to lose that many balls? sheesh. but I will tell hubby what you said.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:19 am
so refresh my memory. Who putts first? The guy whose ball is farthest from the hole -- or the one who is nearest to the hole?
June 21st, 2008 at 10:22 am
gigi - just being realistic. it is easy to hit a golf ball at a driving range that is 200 yards side and no trees. When there are trees, bushes, water etc.. around and you only have a narrow target, can you hit it there??
June 21st, 2008 at 10:24 am
whoever is furthest away plays first.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:26 am
that is really strange that the guy who is farthest away putts first cause what if his ball hits someone else' ball or quarter and veers off the route?
you would think the guy nearest would putt first so as to get rid of obstacles for other putters.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:26 am
g-nalo, some of us wish we would be XXL by '09 (including my doctor). Stretch, I sure appreciate my Tsaiko shot glass...having second thoughts about sending it to the punk kid in LA. But if SteveM wanted my son to have a XXXL Tsaiko black shirt...I might start saving my shekels to buy one.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:37 am
Finally uploading pix.
So gigi- this link may be useful to you and hubby:

Remember, we are playing "best ball" golf on Sunday. So no worry, beef curry. You do not have to make "every shot count".
breakfast time!
June 21st, 2008 at 10:37 am
I was at Genji but was in the other room. Went to the bathroom on your guys side a few times and looked like you guys had a good time. One of these days, I will come out and intro myself to everyone. Sorry I was just lurking but still nervous to meet everyone.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:43 am
gigi, it looks like Michelle is doing better, but she is not playing golf like the rest of us. this is her bread and butter and to play like she is playing, it stinks. it is time to stop using excuses like, oh, i am getting better, hitting the ball better, etc. if she is hitting is better, now come she no can hit the fairways????? even stretch can do better than 17 fairways in 54 holes (and he drinking beer).
June 21st, 2008 at 10:47 am
Happy days indeed... for Mr. Gilmore
and our own
Midori7!!!
June 21st, 2008 at 10:48 am
thanks, Liz. I could not download them. Maybe I'll try downloading Flash Player later.
Whitey, we all want Michelle to win. What place is she in now? How many strokes off the lead? The main thing is she made the cut this time -- especially when you consider she missed the cut at more than 1 tournament last year.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:49 am
Happy Saturday Morning Tsaikos and Tsaikettes!
*Happy* Gilmore joins once again! What a wonderful Saturday morning! Too bad when I awoke suddenly at 7:25 this morning I thought it was Friday again. Had to check and double check the date on the blog just to make sure . . . . . . . .
June 21st, 2008 at 10:50 am
haha UHfan, every day is like Saturday for me. Us retired folks got it made. But, wait, you will have your turn later in life.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:51 am
thank eh whitey, you make me feel so good!! maybe she should drink beer while playing.... ooops, she not 21 yet, no can.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:52 am

Happy Happy Very Happy Birthday Midori7! ! !
June 21st, 2008 at 11:04 am
well, got to go. get one game at kahili and kind of last minute, but got things done this am, so see you all.
stretch, i know you do better than that, so was only kidding, but everyone else at the LPGA is shooting in the 60's and she goes backwards. they all playing the same course. interesting to see what kind of excuse she uses today. oh, i hit some good shots and missed some putts. i want her to do well, but at this rate, @##$$%^$$###.
see you all.
June 21st, 2008 at 11:04 am
mmmmmmm...*tuning fork*...
Happy Birthday to you,

OK, I read the HA breaking news. Wie is 11 strokes behind the lead. Wishing her better luck tomorrow.

I think I'm with whitey that Wie needs to step her game up...alot actually...:smile:
June 21st, 2008 at 11:15 am
gigi, You're lucky to play everyday. My life mantra is to s-t-r-e-t-c-h o-u-t days, months, quarters, and years to feel as long as I can. Maybe I practice this thinking sooo good that one day when I can retire all Saturdays will last f-o-r-e-v-e-r. And Tsaiko-gate day will last an entire week!!! Wowow!
June 21st, 2008 at 11:16 am
Time to take a nap and then get some work done around the house.

Bottom 9th Georgia vs Stanford in CWS = 10:8. Stanford batting with two outs; batter up count = 3-1
June 21st, 2008 at 11:54 am
Glad that everyone had fun at Club Genji's the other night. Liz and BigHiloFan2 - I really would enjoy meeting up with the two of you at a future event just to talk about life -perhaps at one of the fall T-Gate parties when we can stay longer than 20 - 30 minutes.
BTW - went up to the Sheriff Center yesterday to pay for the football tickets. The receipt is now posted on the bulletin board and the August calendar page has the 16th circled which is when the tickets themselves should be in hand.
SPEAKING OF TICKETS: I see that the men's basketball season tickets are being promoted heavily. What about women's season volleyball tickets? I never saw the ads for them. When I asked that question at the ticket window yesterday, I was told that no season tickets are available. Is there a limit to the number sold? Or is the season sold out already?
June 21st, 2008 at 12:11 pm
Doc- mahalo for my foot relief present! That was sooo thoughtful and kind of you!
Will yak atcha at the next T-gate!
August 16, eh?
Ok Tickets!!!
June 21st, 2008 at 12:14 pm
Happy birthday, Midori7!
Nice to hear David Gilmore is coming back.

Ralph and Hiflyer: Please read the post below for instructions on how to get the link. I'm updating my address book, so I don't have everyone's e-mail address.

Final score -- sorry took so long-- Georgia beats Stanford. UGA 10: Stanford 8.
June 21st, 2008 at 12:21 pm
BTW, I've noticed that even in IE7, the trackback link doesn't work. To link to a certain post, you have to copy the URL, then cut out the last part — the
#comment-_____part. You add that to the end of the normal URL (afteryyyy/mm/dd/title/). Then the thread loads, but it doesn't go to the post. So what you do is let the entire page load, then click on the URL and hit Enter. Then it goes to that post.June 21st, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Hi everyone!
Thanks for all the birthday wishes! You guys are da bestest!
Wonderful news that David Gilmore will be back at UH!
ST: thanks for the football pics, esp of Veikune (one of my favorites)
Stretch: according to tv guide, no more Rainbow Celebration tonight.
June 21st, 2008 at 12:29 pm
When I said trackback, I meant permalink. Geez, I'm mixing up all my terminology lately. First memory sticks for SD cards, now this.
June 21st, 2008 at 12:30 pm
midori7 - crap, now I need to figure out what I am going to do tonight. Thanks for the heads up. I would have been sad to have cancelled all my plans to stay home to watch a show that doesn't exist.
June 21st, 2008 at 12:31 pm
It comes with old age, remeber you are over 21 now, it's all down hill from here, ask midori.
June 21st, 2008 at 12:32 pm
Okay. You can buy Pamela Anderson's Viper right now on the auctionnetwork. Better have some bucks.

Auction is on break. I was just $60,000 of being able to afford that Viper.

Oops...$60,000 short of
June 21st, 2008 at 12:51 pm

June 21st, 2008 at 12:54 pm
Stretch,
If you get smuuuuud, then so will I. Peace, ST.
June 21st, 2008 at 12:59 pm

Nearly every photo of the big guys as they lurk around campus makes be nervous that they might unload on <b.ME!the next time I walk past the AD office.
Can you imagine what a dog fight it would be if they throw the football out in middle of the practice field and tell them, "first man to pick it up and live long enuff to bring it to me," gets a starting position...at least until next week?! Ouch!

The next time you are up at Manoa would you please teach E-Rob how to properly do a shaka? That Hook 'em Horns sign is definitely out of place.

Whew, I finally got my turn on the internet.
Thanks to everyone who came out Thursday night. I had a blast! In fact, I was having such a great time that I didn't think to check in with my family (so they checked in with me.... 3 TIMES). Ian even waited up for me to make sure I got home ok.
Thanks again to my Tsaiko family. It is time to seriously start praying about moving back home.

Sporting News recently came out with its ranking of the top players in the Pac 10, by position. The top quarterback and top linebacker are both Samoans.
See: http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/24800194/ .
Congratulations to Willie Tuitama at QB and Rey Maualuga at MLB!
Rey grew up in Waipahu. Here are two Usos Hawaii should have gotten but did not. Maybe if UH had a better head coach UH could have had a shot at these two. Doubt it though. Players like Tuitama and Maualuga will never play for a program such as UH until UH gets better coaches, guys who have proven themselves at the highest level, guys like Mosi, Kenny, or Afoa.
Manti Teo will likely go to USC to play where Seau, Tatupu, Maualuga and Maiava have played or now play. To play at a place like UH, with its current coaching staff, and thus inability to attract prime players, would be foolish.
Look at what is happening now with Satele.
Satele should be a starter. I have seen this kid play. He should not be second team. Big heart, desire, never die attitude, athleticism second to none as compared to the current crop of linebackers. Maybe his playing style or personality doesn't suit the style or personality of the current coaching staff, but this should not be the reason why he shouldn't start. The best should start. Satele should be a starter. Somebody must be blind. If UH wants to win, it will need to make better decisions about its starters.
At any other Pac 10 school, Satele would likely be a starter at this point. He is no Maualuga, but the kid is better than the other LB's at UH at this time.
Funaki should also be the #1 QB. Hands down, the best of the crop.
June 21st, 2008 at 5:23 pm
d1,
thanks, i feel better already after your english lesson, haha
June 21st, 2008 at 5:24 pm
There's that darn "S"-word!
He was pretty good last December.
June 21st, 2008 at 5:25 pm
prepplayer: I don't agree with your assessment of the coaching staff, their qualifications, and their motives, but I do agree with you that Satele is a heck of a player. But he's been bit by the injury bug, and that's set him back. That said, if UH were running a 3-4, I'd have him penciled in as a starter. But in the 4-3, there's the problem of too many players for too few positions — and you can't forget about R.J. Kiesel-Kauhane and Mana Lolotai as well.

West Virginia is a big-bucks BCS conference school...and they are getting squeezed by the rise in travel costs due to gas prices. If it can affect schools with huge budgets like this, schools like Utah State and Idaho will really feel the price increases this year.
June 21st, 2008 at 6:12 pm
June 21st, 2008 at 6:14 pm
The reduction in flights and the reduction in the size of planes (smaller planes use less gas) also affects teams when they travel, especially the non-revenue teams (any team outside of football and men's basketball) since they fly on commercial airlines.
June 21st, 2008 at 6:16 pm
Another hidden cost for athletic travel that did not exist a few months ago. Now that airlines are charging for the first checked in bag, charging more for the second, and really increasing the fee for more than 2 bags, teams that have to travel with equipment are stuck with having to pay big fees.

Hi, gang! Hi, ST!
Happiest of burfdays to Midori7, one of the most true-blue ... no, wait, true green! ... gals I've ever known! Really hope you are having a good one; you deserve it!
June 21st, 2008 at 6:54 pm
I am watching the highlights of the 2007 football season... sniff... it still chokes me up with emotions of pride!!!
June 21st, 2008 at 7:03 pm
Heard that former Mililani MLB Josh Andrews may be walking on to UH. Either that or he's just running around at UH for the summer.
June 21st, 2008 at 7:05 pm
I like Coach Mack's outreach to local recruits, but his and the staff's extra efforts will only go so far, especially with the top 5 local recruits and recruits with local ties that are hounded by PAC 10 teams. As it is we got pretty lucky with one such player, Pisa Tinoisamoa, who but for unfortunate personal circumstances, would never have come here, great recruiters or not. I, too, am concerned with the next couple years and whether the changeover in staffs coupled with what could be a tough next couple of years record wise will set us back a little.
June 21st, 2008 at 7:06 pm
Howzit gangeh, see you guys took dah english lesson today
June 21st, 2008 at 7:12 pm
I wonder to what extent the gas crunch will have on UH's already dire recruiting related travel constraints/challenges. I recall that Hawaiian has stated its commitment to flying the coaches out for trips (or something like that), but obviously the offer was gratuitous.
June 21st, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Yes, Josh Andrews is walking on at UH. He never enrolled at Navy, then went to W.Oregon and left. Decided he wanted to be home.
And isnt it Tuitama's 3rd year on the field?...I saw him play as a redshirt freshman and that was two seasons ago vs. USC .... like his back up, Zona's #2 QB Another Poly boy named Bryson Beirne, out of Mid Pac/Pac5, dad played at UH, mom played at UH.
June 21st, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Just curious, have any other D1 teams had 3 or more polynesian QB's in their history, except maybe Hawaii - or since Hawaii has become D1, have they had many polynesian QB's? (Chang doesnt count, he's local but not Poly) Arizona had George Malauulu, Willie Tuitama and Bryson Beirne...I think there was one more but I cant remember for sure.
June 21st, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Thanks xs-homey and Doris for the news about Andrews!
June 21st, 2008 at 7:32 pm
preplayer Sheesh bruddah how much of that Warrior Haterade you had, chillax killah. Like we said earlier not every great player will become a great coach. The coaching staff at UH needs time before you can make an honest opinion on whether or not they are worth being there. I'm sure Coach Mack didn't just pick anyone on his coaching staff. He obviously picked guys who he thought could help the program. Plus, no expect miracles to happen right away, building up the program takes time and changes are being made gradually.
Satele is a solid player but again the LB position is full of great solid players. If he really is that good he will start or get a lot of PT, which he probably will. Coach Mack is not like Coach Jones and doesn't have favorites, it's open competition everywhere so Satele has the chance to start.
I will agree with you that Inoke Funaki should start at QB as of right now. We don't know how the fall will play out but I'm sure if he continues to be consitent and improve he will be leading the team in the Swamp.
June 21st, 2008 at 7:39 pm
Funaki will Fly

I guess there are no Tsaiko's or lurkers in KC, MO.
I will be off the blog for a week -- attending the SkillsUSA National Leadership Conference and Skills Championships. Several of my kids will be competing in various leadership events. They are as prepared as they will ever be.
Off to sleep now -- I have to leave home by 4 in the morning to catch my flight. Yay. It is going to be a loooong but fun day of travel with 7 teenagers. HA!
Save some of the juicy news for me!
See you all next Saturday or Sunday.

esme,

June 21st, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Garret,
Actually, smaller planes do not use less fuel... per person. It is FAR more efficient to fly 280 people on a single 777 than on four CRJ700s. The reason that airlines have been using greater numbers of departures with smaller regional planes has everything to do with marketing and NOTHING to do with efficiency. In fact, it is the principal reason that airports have been experiencing traffic delays the past few years. If you want to read some really good articles on the issue check out Patrick Smith's weekly column in Salon.

Happy Anniversary to Ronnie's parents. I remember going to my grandparents' Golden Wedding anniversary when I was six.and that's the last one I went to ast well. Either the bodies or the marriages of everyone else I know haven't lasted that long.
Happy Birthday Midori - enjoy yourself and don'tparty2hearty.
LIZ: Glad you like your podtreat - and, no, folks, that is not the IPod she's talking about. At first I was sKeptical because I had bought into the idea that I had to pay $$$ every three weeks to the podiatrist. Actually, he was the one who suggested that I try cutting back the visits to once every six weeks and using the PedEgg in between.
Hey, what happened to the Post Numbers?
Have a good evening everyone and enjoy the Great Summertime in Hawai`i. We're planning to celebrate Sunset at Ala Moana Park or Magic Island tomorrow evening if we can get everything finished around here in a timely fashion.

Is there irony with having a GA dedicated to working with the DBs, since there is so much talent there? Probably not. I would like to see our DBs getting longer looks at the next level and this might be the year to start that trend.

glad to read that you and hubby got home in time for him to get a nap before he went for his workout.
late night workouts at the gym are very exhausting, and if you're not prepared, it could really set you back. although we missed the both of you, i am glad that hubby got a chance to work that meal off. good job!!!
your photos were great also
:):)
June 21st, 2008 at 9:52 pm
expat,
Thank you for that input. I agree that the bigger planes would be more fuel efficient per person *if* all seats were filled. However, we know that there is reduced business travel during a downturn and a reduction in leisure travel also. Plus, more seats would mean lower prices to make sure the seats were filled, which is NOT want the airlines want to do now with gas prices so high.
June 21st, 2008 at 9:53 pm
Rising crude oil prices have made the forecast for the global airline industry to go from a projected profit of $4.5 bil to an estimated loss of over $6 bil at current oil prices!

Happy Birthday Midori! A/Joe is all hyped to beat you at bowling tonight
June 21st, 2008 at 9:58 pm
Pauoa Boy,
The thing is, last year it was *Mack*, not JJ, who determined who started at LB. And *Mack* picked Adam Leonard, Sol Elimimian, Brad Kalilimoku, with Blaze getting a lot of reps when he was healthy. I agree that Satele is an excellent player, but he was one player that was hurt when UH changed from Glanville's 3-4 to Mack's 4-3.
Adam, Sol, and Blaze make up an amazing starting LB group for UH. UH also has great depth at that position, with at least 4 guys (including Satele) who are worthy of starting spots. The good thing is that Mack's system rotates a lot of players so they all will get a chance to show what they can do. The downside is that only 3 can start and only those will get the most reps.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:00 pm
It is very sad that the coverage of the Titans has just been ignoring Jason Rivers. If you check out this photo album, they show a lot of other WRs but they ignore Rivers. And there have been a lot of articles lately on Titans WRs who are battling for roster spots...but none on Rivers.

Great job by the military to get their bases in Iraq to generate electricity from trash! This reduces the need for convoys to deliver fuel (those convoys are targets) and the 30x reduction in garbage reduces the need for garbage trucks (who are also targets) to be used.

This 12-year-old Canadian girl took her Dad to court about her Dad grounding her and the court sided with the girl, calling the grounding an excessive punishment! Why is a court actually ruling on a case like this? And this 12-year-old is posting photos of herself on dating sites, so I don’t really think the court should be trusting her judgement!

Garett,
NWA = 2nd bag $25, 3rd bag = $100....now that, is not very subtle. aisle seats cost an extra $20, bulkhead and exit rows are $30...hmmmmmmm

Still working...APB armed robbery with automatic weapons reported on Keaumoku in the last half hour? Might have to be up all night if the Special Tactical folks corner them. Firing up the coffee. Hope it was just airsofts not the real stuff. The last time I covered UH volleyball in the Mainland (vs. UCLA) the infamous North Hollywood Bank of America AK 47 robbery shootout occured and I was nearby...I rolled on it and returned back to my parents our of fear in less than 5 minutes. This was the only news story I have ever chickened out of. Ironically I have not covered UH Volleyball overseas since. Correlation? Oh my gosh, now a stabbing on Ahi Place, wonder if its related? Must be a full moon, or maybe that Lahaina Noon thing. Note how I got that UH Volleyball connection in there so that LizK didn't accuse me of being off topic.
