Game day: Funaki to start
By Stephen Tsai
Inoke Funaki has been announced as the starting quarterback.
* * *
The UH administration remains committed to the Warriors.
Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw attended yesterday's walk-through in the drizzle. She gave a pep talk at the end of the 45-minute workout.
The Warriors closed with a cheer of: "Chancellor!"
* * *
Equipment specialist Al Ginoza is one of the power brokers on the UH campus.
The distribution of everything from jerseys to gloves goes through Ginoza.
The reason nobody is wearing No. 15 or No. 14 is because of Ginoza, in conjunction with associate head coach Rich Miano. (Of course, that's also why three players are assigned No. 58, too.)
Most important, Ginoza selects the quarterback who picks the game balls. Teams supply the six balls they use on offense, punts and placekicks. There also is a backup supply of six balls that are used in case of wet conditions.
Quarterbacks can't gripe about the grip since they're the ones choosing the footballs.
* * *
It was interesting that USC head coach Pete Carroll attended yesterday's Punahou game to watch linebacker Manti Te‘o.
It would have been even more interesting if Oregon State coach Mike Riley showed up, too.
Conspiracy theorist insist the announcement of the two-game UH-BYU series was made with Te‘o in mind.
If so, now is the time for UH to try to sign up Stanford , UCLA and Notre Dame, too.
The Warrior Beat

first yawhoooooooooooooooooo
September 27th, 2008 at 8:58 am
Sure, it's easy to be No. 1 when you don't show up for the party.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:58 am
morning and what a beautiful day it is
how’s all the tsai-ko’s and tasi-kette’s doing so far”
game day babe let get excited, pumped up and feel the rhythm feel da rhyme come on warriors is pounding dem spartan time
September 27th, 2008 at 8:59 am
that was yesterday today is another day
and so what you showing up after tgate to continue parting?
September 27th, 2008 at 9:03 am
OK. So, if ST gave the pep talk, what cheer would the team close with?
September 27th, 2008 at 9:05 am
While you were in court, Koakane, you missed the action:
• Calvin from Kona serving as the doorman.
• A guy trying to steal away the Birthday Girl to his own private party.
• And Mr. Ball-and-Chains, Stretch, getting summoned home.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:05 am
1-2-3- "TSAI-KO!"
September 27th, 2008 at 9:06 am
Addahknowjoe:
"One, two, three ... GET OUTTA HERE!"
September 27th, 2008 at 9:07 am
Eh, how come you guys left before I got there?
September 27th, 2008 at 9:07 am
Hey Pahtna! Getting packed up and ready to blast off for da T-gate. Was going need a another old screwdriver wen I get dere. Also some empty aluminum pans.
Going bring extra rice jez in case.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:09 am
Joe:
You would have been proud of Sports. She has some velocity with the darts. Not so much accuracy, but she can bring the heat.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:11 am
Midori plays with, uh, some anger.
I think that's why they wouldn't let her carry the knife to cut the cake.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:12 am
Hawaiian! We getting ready too. 'Sports on a small kine run to the hale ku'ai for last minute rations.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:13 am
I don’t know what to say really. Nine hours to the biggest battle of our college lives all comes down to this game. Either we heal as a team or we are going to crumble. Inch by inch, play by play till we’re finished. We are in hell right now, gentlemen believe me and we can stay here and get the crap kicked out of us or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb out of hell. One inch, at a time.
Now I can’t do it for you. I'm in the stands. I look around and I see these young faces and I think, I mean some of us have made every wrong choice a middle age man could make. I pissed away all my money, believe it or not. I chased off anyone who has ever loved me and lately, I can’t even stand the face I see in the mirror.
You know when you get older in life things get taken from you That’s, that’s part of life. but, you only learn that when you start losing stuff. You find out that life is just a game of inches. So is football. Because in either game life or football the margin for error is so small, I mean one half step too late or to early you don’t quite make it. One half second too slow or too fast and you don’t quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They are in ever break of the game every minute, every second.
On this team, WE FIGHT FOR THAT INCG. On this team, WE TEAR OURSELVES AND EVERYONE AROUND US APART FOR THAT INCH. We CLAW with our finger nails for that inch. Cause we know when we add up all those inches that’s going to make the difference between WINNING and LOSING between LIVING and DYING.
I’ll tell you this in any fight, it is the guy who is willing to die who is going to win that inch. And I know if I am going to have any life anymore it is because, I am still willing to fight, and die for that inch because that is what LIVING is.
THE SIX INCHES IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE!!!
Now, no one can make you do it. You gotta look at the guy next to you. Look into his eyes. Now I think you are going to see a guy who will go that inch with you. You are going to see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team because he knows when it comes down to it, you are gonna do the same thing for him.
That’s a team, gentlemen and either we heal now, as a team, or we will die as individuals.
That’s football guys.
That’s all it is.
Now, whattaya gonna do?
September 27th, 2008 at 9:13 am
In review, when we start our own gang, Sports is in charge of scouting, Midori is the enforcer, Calvin is the collector. Koakane is the Charlie's Angels' guy who gives the orders but we never see in person.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:15 am
Hey, that's the same speech Kazz gave to his darts team yesterday.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:15 am
Kazz,
808%. I like that...
September 27th, 2008 at 9:16 am
ST- Hahahah!! It's her lead in with that Lead Foot and follow through.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:17 am
I wonder if Kazz would use the same speech for Jason's Mathletes?
September 27th, 2008 at 9:18 am
I like that.
Nothing less than 808%!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:18 am
...but you know Koakane has been there because of all the empty beer bottles strewn everywhere....

Wow. What a play to end UNC-Miami
September 27th, 2008 at 9:20 am
So, I get home, and Wena makes me watch the Dog Whisperer. At least I know how to talk to defensive linemen.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:21 am
so what type of hotel does Coach Pete Carroll stay at while in Hawaii? When you work for one of the biggest college football programs with a couple of national titles does that get you a place on lewers? kuhio? kalakaua?seaside? kaila? koolina?......
September 27th, 2008 at 9:22 am
島- Wouldn't that be awesome. Jasons' kids so fired up before a math competition that they all break into a Ha'a. Screaming and yelling throughout the competition because they so pumped and amped!

September 27th, 2008 at 9:26 am
So is that how you get them to pose for pictures? They need to be in a "calm submissive" state right?
Would linebackers be considered "red zone" cases and a muzzle is needed?
Ok... I admit... I watch it too.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:27 am
bb,
Hemmeter Fieldhouse.
He and Ken Norton were standing guard all night.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:28 am
I smell blood on the field tonite Kazz! Warriors must deliver a serious Spartan spanking until the screams reverb from end zone to end zone!
Be relentless Warriors! Hunt 'em down...search and destroy! Grrrr!

Oooh - I dislike ND!
Here's a thought - Charlie Weiss as head coach for Al Davis's Raiders!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:43 am
brew,
Would the Raiders then have a tactical advantage every week- guaranteed?
September 27th, 2008 at 9:43 am
Weis
September 27th, 2008 at 9:43 am
Gameballs
Does anyone know where you can buy the gameballs WITH the UH "H" imprinted on the ball like they have on the field? I know the bookstore has the Nike game footballs with the UH "H" on the back but did you happen to see if they have the new Wilson ones with the black laces at the bookstore?
September 27th, 2008 at 9:44 am
Weis....Wavis....Waiders.....waaaahhhh!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:47 am

September 27th, 2008 at 10:20 am
If Good Things Happen in Threes, then we are due for a win tonight!! Will follow up on NO. 1 on Sunday,
T-GATE RECYCLING: Once again, we’ll provide recycling services at the T-Gate which includes taking your contributions from home as well. We’ll be donating the proceeds in the name of Tsaikos to Dole Middle School’s cross-country program under the supervision of Coach Alan Inaba to purchase shoes, uniforms, and event day meals.
Nearly 80% of the students are in the free or reduced-cost lunch program plus the median five-person family income in the area is under $30,000 whereas at Kawananoka Middle School, about three miles closer to town, it’s well over $50,000 - so proper athletic shoes & uniforms are not a high priority for many parents.
Coach Alan and his wife and two of his students will be stopping by the T-Gate sometime between 2 pm & 3:30 pm before heading over to the Stadium to see the game. Their tickets are courtesy of a Tsaiko Lurker and the UH Athletic Department. Please welcome them in case DrDoc and I haven’t gotten back yet.
And Yes! This is Good News #2.
We’re coming early to help with the set-up including a tarp to cover the grills as well as the pop-up tent, two tables, four chairs, a table-in-a-box, recycling bin, microwave/power strip/cord, and very large trash bags - I think 65 gallon size. Then we’re taking off for a couple of hours to run errands and expect to be back on site around 3 pm or thereabouts.
See Ya'll
GO WAHINE!!!! GO WARRIORS!!!!

ST -- I was impressed by your words opening the section on the UH Offensive outlook in today's "UH won't be facing Tomey of old" game analysis...
Profound...and it flows!
...actually, sounds like something pride. would say...
Yup, that good!
September 27th, 2008 at 11:35 am
i think it's called gee-po or gi-po, something like that. they're delicious, but they catch on fire if you leave em in the microwave too long.
September 27th, 2008 at 11:36 am
koakane-
Thinking of your beer getting cold and watching mine get cold is making me EVEN thirstier.
September 27th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
did someone bring down midori7 & uhfan808 in darts? i wish i could've been there to show them how, but i'm stuck in this far away land. heh.
have fun at the tailgate and game!
September 27th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
brew808,
I just searched through my guide that shows all of the ESPN GamePlan games that I can select from and the UH-SJSU game is *not there*. That is really sad for all of the mainland Warrior fans...
September 27th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
Hi Tsaikos! The Wahine are playing v-ball in Las Cruces right now. Set #3 is just starting. It sounds like the Wahine are playing well so far. I don't want to spoil anyone's plans to watch the match later on. The match is being broadcast on 1420. You can also check the live stats from the NMSU website at:

Quote from the Salt Lake Tribune about the UH-BYU scheduling. Interesting that BYU has 3 WAC teams out of their 4 nonconference games.
September 27th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
Hi Garret - Welcome back! I hope you had a most successful trip.
Yeah - our only hope is that the main scoreboard page on the ESPN website does show the game on ESPN GamePlan. I've got my fingers, toes, eyes, and signals all crossed... hoping for the best....
September 27th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
This BYU fan wrote an article that went out of its way to diss UH and the WAC in general. This article is about how BYU could win a national championship this season if a *lot* of things go there way.
September 27th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
ESPN's E:60 will have a feature on Brian K!
September 27th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
Hi brew808!
My trip went very, very well, but I am so tired! I'm used to getting 3 hours or less sleep, but this trip I had the combination of 3 hours or less sleep per night, 7am meetings (4am pacific time!), and 13+ hours of meetings or required seminars without a break. Any break I had in my schedule I used to meet with a company about potential collaborations.
It was fun being interviewed for 80 minutes by the National Defense Magazine reporter--especially since I got a free breakfast out of it too! I'm guessing that reporter never interviewed someone before who was wearing an aloha-print shirt...but I was going straight from the interview to the airport and didn't want to wear a shirt and tie another day.
I wonder if the problem for ESPN GamePlan is something silly like how the game is starting on Sunday East Coast Time. I know that one site I use had UH games as being *Sunday* games and not Saturday games when it started this late. I wish they could start UH games 10 minutes earlier until we move our clocks for daylight savings time so that the games could start before midnight Eastern Time.

Feature article on RGM! It sounds like his teammates cannot catch the ball reliably, so he might be a valuable contributor soon!
September 27th, 2008 at 12:30 pm
I'm watching the raisins vs. the 'ruins game at the Rose Bowl. The WAC team is ahead and playing well. The views of the stands show lots of red! I have to admit that the raisin nation really travels well - of course it doesn't take much incentive to get the heck out of the San Joaquin Valley....
September 27th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
I think that RGM could help BC stop this problem!

UCLA not dat good, but the puppies is going to be tough like always when we play dem buggahz...
September 27th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
UH basketball had a couple of big contributors from Canada, but I hadn't realized that UH had been recruiting a LB out of Canada! Credit transfer problems between Canada and UH might be a reason why schools don't look harder in Canada. Cordick would have joined UH before last season...so he would still be a Warrior today if there hadn't been the credit transfer problems between Canada and UH.
September 27th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
The Brian Kajiyama segment on E:60 is interesting. It seems the transition and the job change between Coach Jones and Coach Mack left some bitterness.
September 27th, 2008 at 12:37 pm
Frikkin pissed off they don't have today's game anywhere...PPV, ESPN, etc...what kine BS is dat!!!

[sigh] ...the Tsaiko-gate should approaching full blast and I'm sitting here watching the paint dry (over the stove area) and waiting for the laundry to finish. Haven't cleaned up so much since I was in boot camp
Just kidding, the fire was small and the microwave looks like it still works...kinda. The real job was washing the dishes, cleaning what fell on the floor, watering mom's plants and recording a gazillion hours of Korean soap operas for her.
Now, if the kitchen de-greasing operation is successful and I can get some good take-out food stashed away for Peaches' and mom's dinner, I might be able to make it to Genji's to watch the first half of the game before they arrive HNL at 7:50 PM tonight...

Pauoa Boy,
Sadly, this is not uncommon for ESPN GamePlan. Things were different the past 2 years since UH had a lot of media attention and brought in ratings with people wanting to see Colt and the rest of the offense...but before that I know that it was impossible to see many of the games on the mainland with ESPN GamePlan. I miss the days that Fox Sports would show the games...
September 27th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
Garret - For reals but they had the first couple of games on PPV here. Wonder why they would show the Fresno - UCLA game on PPV if was locally televised anyway??? Ahhh lose money...
September 27th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
fresno wins
navy wins
michigan comes back to win
notre dame beats purdue
florida loses at home
clemson loses to maryland
i love saturdays
September 27th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
aloha.....off to the tailgater.
food, fun, football, friends, and er, er, what was the fifth f?
okay, more food. oh yah, brain lock released, its family.
i guess i will get a dose of all five in few minutes.
so, will we see funaki in an option offense today?
go warriors!
September 27th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Pauoa Boy,
You know what I think was funny? UCLA was worried about their attendance this week so they actually took out newspaper and radio ads in Fresno to convince Fresno fans to travel to see the game! UCLA players were *shocked* when they found out that their school was paying for ads to try to get more Fresno State fans at the game! I doubt that JD would pay for ads to convince BYU fans to come to the game at Aloha Stadium!
You can see the ad at the link I put above. Here is another article about it:
http://www.dailynews.com/sports/ci_10564244
September 27th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
Natural reaction when hearing that UCLA was trying to get Fresno State fans to attend the game.
September 27th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
Garret - That is funny...I know we playing SJSU today but I can feel it's going to get crazy in Fresno already...
September 27th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
If you don't want to wait for the Brian K story to be out on TV, you can go to this link:

September 27th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Pauoa Boy,
Things are always crazy in Fresno, but with their hopes to win the WAC it will be even crazier! Didn't they miss something like 3 field goals and just lose by 3 points to Wisconsin? If they had been undefeated now, they would have a huge national spotlight!
September 27th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Wow! Upset city in college football today. Them Fresno folks probably gonna get plenty momentum when they head home to face UH next week.
September 27th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
And the entire team breakout with a rendition of "The Loin Sleeps Tonight."
September 27th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Aloha, Tsaikos!
We're heading out to the game in an hour. Would like to join the Tsaiko-gate but never heard back from Kazz on yesterday's e-mail.
Anybody able to help?
September 27th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Garret,
Those 'extra' Fresno fans may have been the 12th man that made the difference in the Fresno win. Very scrappy play on both sides of the field. Fresno will be near impossible to beat in their own stadium.
But what happened to Florida?
Michigan's game today kind of reflects what Warriors fans want. A flip-flop of offensive performance.
September 27th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
Lopaka43
what's your email?
September 27th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
Lopaka43 -- send me an email at: stevem.hnl (at) gmail.com
I'll send you directions and info for the tailgate today. Haven't heard from you since I met you and your wife at Genji's for the Florida game. Glad you can make it.
September 27th, 2008 at 2:02 pm
#2 OU is on their way to beating #23 TCU, 21 - 3 OU
September 27th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
Thanks, SteveM.
I've been lurking, but no time for blogging.
Looking forward to the game. First time the wife and I have been out in many many years. Caught the bug again from all of you Tsaikos!!
Go Warriors!!
September 27th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
Garret,
Great video on Brian K.!
September 27th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
All I gotta say (for another two hours or so) is ROLL TIDE!
September 27th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
I think KAZZ got his pep-talk script from Lou Hotlz.
September 27th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Got a call from Peaches waiting at LAX. Schedule change/delay again. HNL ETA now around 8:25 PM. Looks like I can see the entire first half tonight ...hmmmmmmm
September 27th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
georgia getting blitzed by bama.
roll tide!
September 27th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Gameday! Beer's cold but won't be touched until kickoff. This is killing me esp. while watching the AL-GA game where AL is up 17-zip. Man, they look for real.
I'm debating whether to pay the $12 for the video stream or just listen to 1420 online. Anyone have any issues with the streaming from Oceanic?
ST-
Nice to read about the special teams changes in your article.
September 27th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Good afternoon Tsai-kos, especially those at the t-gate. Represent! You guys have my permission to eat my share of the cocoa puffs that Kekoa owes me.
To da mainland Tsai-kos - hope you guys find a way to watch da game.
Izzy - the LOIN? is that a Freudian slip? hehehehe.
I will be at some play at MPI tonight. So no game for me tonight. *tsigh*
See ya laterz.
September 27th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Hi mctruck -- don't see you post too often nowadays. Everything OK in your part of Texas?
September 27th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
Oh, forgot. Good evening Tsaikos! Brew/Garrett...you guys goin' to be bloggin' during the game? Hope all you guys have a fun and safe time at Richardson.
September 27th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Hey Mr. Mctruck! How things in East TX? We're enjoying cool nights out our way...down in the 50's this week.
September 27th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
I'm ticked off. ESPN is showing the game on their gameplan schedule, but my local carrier here tells me it's not on, what a bummer.
Oh, wee, guess I have to try oceanic.
GO, WARRIORS !!!
September 27th, 2008 at 2:49 pm

Florida Ted-
I'm worried about Oceanic's "no can order until 1 hour before the game." Makes me think that they might have limited bandwidth compared to Hawaiian Telecom's. Fingers crossed!
September 27th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Love to see that smug look wiped off of Richt's face
September 27th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Yo 99club - Long time no hear from San Angelo! Yup - watching the 'bama hurricane RIP through Atlanta! Wow! I knew the elephants were playing well but this is most impressive!
Re: Oceanic - I still don't know of anyone (ANYONE) that was successful in getting the Weber State game. I heard there were lots of excuses by OCTV - but sorry - no excuses allowed. I did pay to get the Wahine v-ball game last Sat. It worked well w/ a high quality feed. I don't know if they're ready and can handle the traffic for tonight's game. I still am hoping for ESPN GamePlan (and 360) to carry the game - even though most listing don't show it on the schedule. The cold brewski's sound good....
September 27th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Garret . . .
Thank you for the Brian K link. What an awesome young man. And, what an interesting story. I guess it was kind of a demotion but I absolutely love Brian's attitude of doing it for the team.
September 27th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
This may be very petty of me, but I am thoroughly enjoying the looks of pain and doubt and disbelief on the faces of the UGA fans. The game's not over yet but I'm LOVING it so far. ROLL TIDE!
September 27th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
SteveM-
I'm absolutely going to Vegas next year. Hopefully I can get the Mrs. to go with me this time but she might be too busy with school.
September 27th, 2008 at 2:56 pm

Duffer! Wait til you see your oyster shell! Hoo Wee!
September 27th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
Dang. Just turned on the TV to the WSU/UO game. Talk about ug-a-lee!!!
UO 56, WSU 7. Start of the 4th.
I guess WSU is not waiting to the end anymore to coug-it.
September 27th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
Brew-
Click on my name for the link to my new favorite brewery. I'm trying their Brown Ale tonight. Good stuff from Blanco, TX. Who woulda thunk it.
Thanks for the tip. I guess it's going to be like old times just listening to Robert K. online for me. I don't want to be in a bad mood due to some screwed up feed.
7-7 Weber St.-Utah right now.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
garret, glad you made it through your trip. sounds like it was relentless! thanks for finding that rego article.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
chawan_cut - Okay.... it's really, really tempting to say something about your last post, but I'll play nice.... this time.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
What a catch! Alabama up 31-0.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
So, that is Curveball.
A Warrior virgin! Well, after tonight, that will all change.
Whoo-hoo! Go Warriors!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the pix, LizK. The food looks good.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Chawan, mine too. But the worst part about it was having to listen to all of the jeers and taunts from Georgia fans.as I was walking back to my hotel trying to nurse a broken heart.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
Last year UO beat WSU 53 to 7. This is really a rebuilding year for the Cougs.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:07 pm

Weber State 7, Utah 17
September 27th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
...attorneys have hearts?!?
September 27th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
Dang. is the 'bama/UGA game a replay of the Sugar Bowl -- just different uniforms.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
Wow, wow! I don't think UGA has anymore butt to be kicked! Wow!
#3?September 27th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
UGA coach is a bit testy with the reporter. HA!
September 27th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Stafford is starting to get beaten up, just like Colt. The punter who cheap-shotted Paepule shanked a punt that led to a Bama TD. A pass interference call on Miller. Two roughing the passer fouls on Georgia's D. All mirror images.
Hawaii went in at halftime down 24-3. In their "statement" game UGA goes in down 31-0.
ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
Brew, now now, behave, LOL.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
That plate looks ono Liz!
31-0 halftime. Nightmare game for Georgia.
17-7 Utah pulling away from Weber St.
#1 Lost.
#2 Winning
#3 Losing badly.
#4 Lost.
What a week!
September 27th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
Chawan_Cut . . .
You might want to get on 1420 early -- before the mad rush by everyone else. Then it will be may be darn near impossible to even get on.
So far, this year, the feeds have been okay.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
Well, time to shift gears and watch the slaughter of the spartans. Be back post game.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
Oh dang! There go the duckies! About halfway through the 4th. Another long run. They might score again.
Jason Gesser needs to learn to enunciate. He mumbles.
Duckies score again! 63 to 7. Definitely ug-a-lee.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
i feel bad for those georgia fans. going into halftime, down 31 points, they still have some hope. but that hope will soon be crumbled into itty bitty pieces all over the floor. all i can say is "too bad, so sad."
heeheehee.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
Looks like the hot breath of parity keeps on breathing down the BCS' wretched neck again this year, just love it.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
LizK
the fuud looks good, and now we know what curveball looks like.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
Love to see Alabama run up the score and give Richt a taste of his own medicine. Yup at halftime Richt had that "smug" look wiped off his face. He looked confused.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
In college ball, no matter what position a team is in, the days of strutting around and thinking that you're all that, are definately over. Just when a team thinks they have arrived, someone knocks them off. We're going to see many more upsets this season. Isn't it just great?
If our Warriors get their act together tonight, our season is FAR from over.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
The birthday girl looks happy as does her twin, Midori7.
The pieces of cake are huge! Mmmmmm, chocolate. Yum!
September 27th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
1420 just came on.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
The Duckie player, Unger, is getting quite a bit of face time.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
Today's upsets are a strong argument for holding not having any rankings until 1 October. AP would have to be the first to make the change...then the others would follow.

Good to see the chair-holder-downers are on duty. The skies look dark. Maybe a good blessing is in the works.

Good one, Tom.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Anyone knows how the volleyball Wahine did in NMSU?
Had to attend a child's birthday today at lunchtime and sorry to miss the Richardson Field event - but since I wasn't 300, I have to watch PPV!
Go Warriors!
September 27th, 2008 at 3:46 pm

dang, i don't know how you guys do this. all this waiting for the game to start. i'm not used to not being at home for a game. 2 more hours!
September 27th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
Hi J -- any plans to be back on Oahu this season?
September 27th, 2008 at 3:53 pm

I know, huh. The anticipation is killer. Just watch PAC10 football and blog. Still does not feel as good as being there.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
SteveM . . .
Is there anything special I need to do to put the Tsai-ko decal on? I remember you saying something about moistening one side. But, heck if I can remember anything more than that.
I am guessing the decal goes on the outside rather than the inside.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
J: thank you!!!

Yeah, I always walk around the woods with my katana. Geez. writers need to study more.
September 27th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Hi SteveM,
Only one weekend that I might be able to sneak home before the usual trip at Christmas...and of course the team will be on the road.
October is busy with two film festivals and working on a documentary.
September 27th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
Hey there everyone!
Hows the T-gate going?Rob25?
Glad to here Georgia getting spanked silly!!!!
Good job For Waianae last night! My alma mater
Lets Go Warriors
September 27th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
wafan - Spit on it, then apply to face. If no work, try spit on it and apply to face.
If still no work, get brother to spit on it and apply to face.
If still no work, get brother to spit on decal and face and try apply.
It still no work, get the village.... Oh, I think you get it!
September 27th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
Hee hee. Can anyone find the true Tsaiko in Group Shot 2 on Liz K's blog?
http://lizkauai.blogspot.com/
September 27th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
OK, the game coverage has started on 1420. Broadcasting from "pole 14" in the Stadium parking lot. Sounds windy.
September 27th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
Do you mean AddahknowSports feeding face?
September 27th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
Penn State is good
September 27th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
OK, wafan... for you and the few others who have the somewhat rare Tsai-ko sticker...
1. In this case, the back of the letters are adhesive
2. Carefully remove ONLY the solid white backing sheet
3. Place the letters against a clean, dry surface
4. Squeegee the letters on (you can use a rice paddle too)
5. Peel off the translucent front paper.
6. Admire what las vegas called his "chick magnet"
September 27th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
wafan - I think my method is more effective. But if you have to follow SteveM's instructions, you might need a volunteer to help pat, slap, pound that sticker on the face to make sure of proper adhesion. Do you need any volunteers? Heheheh!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
Yup AddahknowSports
September 27th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
CheeeHoooo!
Roll Tide, Roll!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
I got eliminated in step 3.
September 27th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
Oh yeah - got to scrub the face first w/ detergent, then TSP and don't hesitate to use Brillo pad or wire brush....Heheheh!!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
It's been one hour since Liz posted the group photo. Any guesses on whether AddahknowSports has finished feeding face? And if not - how many more plates has she put away?
September 27th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
Must've been 'da shrimp, eh?
Penn St. game's best one on right now. Ol' Joe Pa's team looking real good. They got screwed with the early rankings but things will even out for them in the end.
September 27th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
Touchdown Nebraska on 88 yd punt return! Going for 2 pt PAT - no good.

Bad news for UH. Kyle Reed showed up.
September 27th, 2008 at 5:09 pm
Weber State came back to make the score look respectable -
Weber State 21, #17 Utah 37, It looks like da Beast had 3 tackles!
September 27th, 2008 at 5:10 pm
It sounds like they brought back the JJ pregame music.
September 27th, 2008 at 5:11 pm
ST - How was the T-gate?
September 27th, 2008 at 5:12 pm
I was able to order the game through Oceanic... Let's see how the stream is during the game...
September 27th, 2008 at 5:12 pm
Did Colt's parents make it to the T-gate?
September 27th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
i ate too much pizza
i'd better not fall asleep before the game starts.
September 27th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Everybody head to Ronnie's place! Got sushi and champagne too! Gotto to put up with the non-stop cheering and hollering!
September 27th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Ronnie's - Are they showing anything on the Oceanic feed right now?
September 27th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Hi Brew! Yep, they are showing the PPV pre-game show. It's on the scout bowl now.
I suggest people sign up now and not turn it off until after the game...
September 27th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
Me.... I'm still hoping for the ESPN feed.... plus I'm cheap. $12 bucks is two plate lunches or a 12 pack of refreshments.
September 27th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
After watching the top teams in college football get beat down today, time to switch to Warrior Time!
Hopefully those who ordered the game through Oceanic will be able to watch it ok. Everything I've been hearing so far is that the Hawaiian Telcom service last year was better.
I think this is the first game that Hawaii IPTV will be airing the game live through their newly-created web player. Typically they'd show it through the set-top TV box service, however that feed would be delayed until AFTER the game ended. I will update once the web-feed comes up.
September 27th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
I never made it to the tailgate.
I dropped off my food at the office tailgate, then had to go home to shower. Then it was off to the game to make sure I got my socket.

Allllright! Got the house restored, Chinese take-out din-din on the table, and now heading out to the nabeyaki udon place to watch what I can of the game before Peaches lands!
September 27th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
So far, great. The oceanic feed is excellent, the screen is 13 inches and very clear and steady. If it stays that way, I'm very pleased.
GO, WARRIORS !!!
September 27th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
Good to hear that about the Oceanic feed, FloridaTed.
So for those wanting to watch the game through ESPN, is the game going to be on Gameplan, ESPN360, both, or neither? It's been all back and forth the entire week, so kind of hard to keep track with that.
September 27th, 2008 at 5:46 pm
brew808,
I bought the feed through Hawaiiathletics website, went real smooth. Make sure you scrool terms and conditions and mark it as agreed. I'm watching the pre-game show and so far it's flawless. Go for it.
September 27th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
Auryte this Oceanic stream better not get hammajangz on me I konna be pissed...
September 27th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
Committed Road Warrior - I did not see it as part of the "Upcoming" games on ESPN360 like I saw the Weber St. game a few weeks ago.
September 27th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
So far so good, better stay laddis for the whole game...
September 27th, 2008 at 5:49 pm

September 27th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
Hawaii IPTV feed looks great, albeit a little small in size with 480 x 320 resolution. Blowing the feed up to full screen makes the quality acceptable (for me, that is).
Feed itself is consistent and steady, no cutting in or out yet. Hopefully it will stay this way!
September 27th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Thanks Ronnie.............
September 27th, 2008 at 6:10 pm

Kickoff team made a good stop! Is this where we turn the corner?
September 27th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
YEE HAW!!!! Special Teams!!! Spence Smith got him on the 18!
Then a false start = way to go 12th man!
September 27th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
Choke penalties for being so early in the game
September 27th, 2008 at 6:35 pm
Come on big D.

September 27th, 2008 at 6:39 pm
WTH was that with only 10 guys on the last ST's play?
September 27th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
Nice big grab by Aaron Bain. 1st down.
September 27th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
woohoo nice pass Funaki...
September 27th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
Nice catch Yoda!
September 27th, 2008 at 6:41 pm

September 27th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
Did that shovel pass actually work?
September 27th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
auryte lets go offense take it to da hale
September 27th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
the uh website has a link to this site that is kinda like all the live game trackers
http://www.sidearmstats.com/hawaii/football/
September 27th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
LETS GO STEINY DAYUMIT!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
Take a close look at Curveball. I think he looks like one of the later Curly's.
September 27th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
Good way to pin em deep Grasso...lets go Big D lets go...
September 27th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
I'm surprised we haven't seen David Farmer in there yet. Maybe they have a different offensive package with Graunke and Farmer that just airs it out the whole time. Or, maybe Farmer is still hurt.
Punt UH. 1st and 10 for SJSU inside their 5 yard line.
September 27th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Ronnie,
ESPN360 is free????????????
September 27th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Good job by Grasso and STs to pin SJSU inside their own 5.
Steinhoff got burned by that DE on that 3rd and long play.
September 27th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
make some noise aloha stadium!
September 27th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
duffer,
espn360: thats only if your area has it.
September 27th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
duffer - if your internet provider carries it, it's free in the US. It is really pretty cool because they keep games on for at least a week so you can watch replays. And it shows all games on ESPN, not just the gameplan games.
September 27th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
Oceanic is doing well this week! Their QB blew that one!
September 27th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
good job D lets go special teams
September 27th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
Big bummer!!! intercepted.
September 27th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
Interception SJSU. Come on Funaki. We can't be turning over the ball like that.
September 27th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
bad series for our O. Off sides, holding penalty, (have to punt) holding on the punt return and then an interception. No rythym. Mistakes. No success.
September 27th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
Das right Adam...chee huuu baby
September 27th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
Good thing the defense is playing inspired so far. Except for getting beat on the trick play, they have been pretty lights out.
September 27th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
Way to go big D!!! Adam is the man!
another hit behind the line!
September 27th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
Jim Leahey's speech and intonation is like he's waiting for Tyler to enter the game.
September 27th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
Nice run, but note how the SJ tacklers are always slapping at the ball. Need to be very careful holding on to the rock.
September 27th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
Special Teams has really stepped up this week. The D is it's normal bad self. I think the offense will step up to. I'm hopeful that by next week, all 3 phases will be there for all 4 quarters!
September 27th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
No worry Funaki Geff um... just gotta stay relaxed bruddah little bit too amped right now...settle down lil bit and work the offense San Jose not doing nuttin on D...the interception was nuttin...lets go boys!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 6:58 pm
Oh what a block for some yards after catch!
September 27th, 2008 at 6:58 pm
Auryte Bain...stepping it up tonight baby...good job!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Nice 22 yard run by Pilares down to the 2 yard line.
September 27th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Pilares is the man Baby auryte...das my man right dea!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Yee Haw!!! down to the 2 yard line on a shovel pass!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
TD Pilares
September 27th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
Auryte!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
Another TD for Pilares!
Way to go Warriors!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
Chee Huu...PILARES IS TEARING CHIT UP!!!
Eh I seen Farmer...good to have you back bruddah
September 27th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
2 rushing tds???? what's going on here! heh.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
Yeah! Pilares!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
looking GREAT!
14-7 Warriors!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
I like how the student section looked like they were getting into it when the band played Hawai'i 5-0.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
When was the last time the Warriors had 2 RUSHING and 0 passing td's in a single game?
September 27th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
I am cautiously optomistic.
yeeeeeeEEEEEEEEE
HAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
great kickoff coverage!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
Kickoff unit is looking a lot better so far tonight.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
Kick coverage is much better this game!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:04 pm
Oh oh. #8 is down for SJSU. He's a good receiver. I hope it's not serious.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:04 pm
DEFENSE IS PLAYING HUGE SO FAR...DAS HOW BOYS LAY DA SMACK DOWN!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
Ronnie, you're right. S teams looks much better. I just sent a note to Oceanic suggesting that they show the UH section/fans during the game breaks. If you agree, send them a note too.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:07 pm
Nice stop again big D.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:07 pm
This is what we have been waiting for!!!
Way to go WARRIORS!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
hawnstln - that's a great idea. I'll send one too.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:09 pm
I think we need to have Lane or Mouton back there returning punts. Washington dances around too much. If not let's give Javonte Taylor a chance.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:09 pm
Lets go boys no shoot yourselves in the foot with dayum penalties...play with passion but play smart boys lets go!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:11 pm
Nice to see Farmer back in action!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
50 yd punt. not bad. let's go big D!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
How do we call a run by Farmer on 3rd and 19? Talk about conservative play calling.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
nice punt to make up for all these stupid penalties. just a little too excited over there.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
Mistake after mistake! Its killing us on our offense drives.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:15 pm
What's with the band still playing during the play?
September 27th, 2008 at 7:15 pm
Face mask...big Break
September 27th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
ahh lets go dowling...
September 27th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
CRR - I wondered the same thing about the band.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
nice to see Rocky and Fale on the field lets go boys!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
nice to see Rocky and Fale on the field lets go boys!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
Alright Mouton. Nice sack.

BIG D BABY I LOVE IT!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
Libre back into the lineup.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
hey, Pollard is in. just goes to show what happens when you play well in the scout bowl.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
Bain is having a good game tonight.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
Bain makes another catch
September 27th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
Bain is having a good game ... same as Fonoti on D.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
BAIN LOOKING SOLID TONIGHT!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
nice catch for Pollard!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Good scramble Inoki
September 27th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Thanks Funaki for my slight heart attack nice play baby...
September 27th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Inoke sorry
September 27th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Nice run Funaki.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Nice run Funaki.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Lets go OLINE move your feet...
September 27th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Let's go offense!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
2 in a row - mistakes by the O line!!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
dammit! They have to shut up those drums when we are on offense!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
I hear you there Liz.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
That Hawaii Self Storage commercial is awesome. A bunch of safes doing the Ha'a in UH helmets. That is classic.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Try go TD...but if no can get close let Kelly redeem himself go into the half up by 10...
September 27th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
we shouldn't have to be running for our lives. either the o-line isn't doing it or the d-line is too good. we're lucky funaki can scramble. he should be sitting in the pocket looking for the open WRs.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
Come on Dan!!! You can do it!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
Here we go Kelly...Easeh Money baby...
September 27th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
I predict the Iceman makes this one. Count me as a Dan Kelly fan.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
Yee Haw Dan!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
Malcolm Lane is injured. Return doubtful. Not good. Nice kick Iceman. Hawaii up 17-7
September 27th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
Auryte Iceman is back in akshon...
September 27th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
Auryte Iceman is back in akshon...
September 27th, 2008 at 7:34 pm

September 27th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
Liz,

September 27th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
Lets Go D BIG STOP BEFORE HALF!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
Ronnie - one guy near us was trying to start a wave when we were on offense - we had to tell him to wait til we were on Dee! Sheesh!
What's really bad- I'm so stuffed from the T-gate but there is the smell of something cooking in garlic that is making me feel hungry again!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
Alabama def. Georgia in the Inbred Bowl
September 27th, 2008 at 7:38 pm

September 27th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
Good first half...
Boys playing with planny passion and heart...although can relax with the dayum penalties...
Overall pretty solid effort so far...OLine need to play smarter but it's all good...
September 27th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
1st time this year we are ahead at the half!!! That is a good thing.
Yahooooooo!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:41 pm

September 27th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
On 1420 they're talking about Tomey thinkin' that Tyler was goin' to start. Psyche! But they then said Tyler might get some time in the 2d half. Heh, if no need, no need. Rest up while you can.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:47 pm
My faddah dem went call me from the game...going nawts...sounds good to me!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:48 pm

I like that movie.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:48 pm

September 27th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Yups no need Graunke, if no need...Funaki geff um... Let Graunke rest get 100% den play...no need rush back...I know everybody like play but gotta be akamai and no need fix if not broken...right now things lookin cherry...
Love the effort in this game...this is Warrior Football, da previous games was a fluke in my opinion!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:57 pm
Nevada crushed UNLV only 1 week after UNLV beat then #15 AZ St. in OT. Talk about a letdown game for UNLV! Final: 49-27.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
Those Bulldog fans are going to be jacked up after their win today over UCLA! C U at the 5.5 hour tailgate!!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
I don't want Tyler to play. First, he needs to heal up. Second, I don't want to give the puppies any good film on him...
September 27th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
Start of the Second Half.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
Yikes! Davis pushed his own player out of the way...
September 27th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
fake punt goes NOWHERE!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:02 pm

September 27th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
...and Funaki throws a pass right to a SJSU player. Intercepted.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:04 pm

September 27th, 2008 at 8:04 pm
Arggg... INT #2.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:04 pm
Ayyyyyyy........another INT.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:04 pm

September 27th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
GGma - your boy is having a great game! I saw comments on another site saying that he'll play on Sundays.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
C'mon boys no need get stupid now!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
GGma. Dee holding tough. Sjsu is trying tricky stuff. The intensity in the stadium is very good and the fans re making a LOT of noise. We got the ball on downs on our 16 but are making too many booboos and getting penalties.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
Estes, play smart dummeh...good to get nawts but no need hurt the team...
September 27th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
20 yards on the O line ..... at least one was on the O line again.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
Coach Smith has to talk to his boys... It seems like they are letting SJSU get to them.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
godfunnit

September 27th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
Lets go Offense play with poise dayumit, lets get it down the field and score on these mofos!!!

mahalo for the props for the beast and weber state. game was ok, i didn't see much from Utah for being ranked 17 in the country. but talk about feeling like the christians vs. the lions in a coliseum....more red shirts than ideas in the stadium. 49,700 at the game, lotta red, felt like i was sitting in a room full of rotten ume, haha
63 rows....how do i know, we were in row 62, above the cloud line, had 2 pigeons eating 4 rows below us, haha. very good band, and very loud and supportive fans.
i was with 'the hawaiians' in the upper rows, had to start my cheer 'a'ole ha'oles', loud and proud!!!
let's go Warriors and let's get that WIN!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
That is our best O play. Funaki off the edge.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
Go Warriors!!!
ahem, i waved my bannah at da tv and hocus pocus an da 4th down incomplete.
yeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
wow,
was that a play action play right there?
September 27th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
Once again Funaki makes it happen. Great pickup of the first down.
Now it's 2nd and 8.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
What happened to my man Pilares...give him the frikkin ball...
September 27th, 2008 at 8:18 pm
Oline block dayumit!!!!!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
Liz - the fans were WAY too loud during that 3rd down play.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
i can hear vili doing his stupid yell crap in the background. someone go and smack him and tell him we're on offense.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:20 pm
3rd and 8
Inc
Penalty offside on Sjsu
1st down in spite of Vili leading cheers in the endzone. Grrr.
Another penalty on the offense.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
1420 says Mouton is questionable to return to the game. They were icing his shoulder on the sideline and he couldn't raise his arm. That's a tough one.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
inoke. Is running for his life. Argh we are 3 and 11.
Long pass to Bain is Inc. Punting.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:23 pm
That was a great punt to pin SJSU in their own 5
September 27th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
ST has a great punt stop on the SJSU 4!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
i thought vili's sons play football. shouldn't he know when to yell and not yell? he's been doing the same stupid things for the last how many years.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
I agree, where is Pilares? and what ever happened to our passing game? Funaki is not getting protection and when he does throw it is usually way short. Is he hurt?
September 27th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
It's a good thing the Defense and ST have been doing so well. The offense is still out of sync. We need a couple more scores for insurance.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
SJSU is marching. Yikes. For there 4 to their 40
September 27th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
If I know Tomey, he is going to try to run this down our throat..
September 27th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
C'mon stop playing like dayum idiots...POISE, POISE, POISE!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
more penalties, more personal fouls,
c'mon warriors
September 27th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
Damn personal fouls! C'mon, play smart!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
eeks another personal foul.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
What is up with all of the personal fouls? That has to be about the 5th personal foul on us this game.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
What is up with this?!
Hawai'i has 11 penalties... The personal foul penalties are killing us.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Come D stop em here
September 27th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Auryte D
Run it back!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Defense makes another stop. 4th down even though we got pretty lucky because that receiver was open.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
wow, is that short guy a coach?
September 27th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
SJSU is punting. Fair catch on the 20.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
Robert K. on 1420 RE: the personal fouls. "Young men will be running." Laps baby, laps.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
C'mon Offense, lets get a score...
September 27th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
Let's go offense!
Score some points!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
WHERE IS PILARES, give him the frikkin ball!!!...please
September 27th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
This is a llooonnnggg 3rd quarter.
So, are we being that undisciplined or are the refs calling personal fouls every time we breath too hard? After all, this IS football not ping pong...
September 27th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
Send Pride, Chawan_Cut and Kazz in the game
September 27th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
offense needs a drive....from the 20, let's roll! funaki gotta make it happen, no excuses....let's go boyz.
keeper,no pass, incomplete...make it happen
September 27th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
Dayumit Pollard that was Touchdown baby dang...
September 27th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
Dang! Almost.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
ronnie,
uh fumbles the ball
September 27th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
Ronnie, we're being undisciplined. Fumble Funaki.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
dammit funaki isn't doing it.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
Goal Line Stand
September 27th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
Grrr...Funaki...c'mon bruddah!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
AAARRRRGH!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
fumble. or incomplete pass... i think it was a fumble.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
merry christmas from Warriors to SJSU
September 27th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
i think graunke even at not full strength will make better decisions than funaki.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
BIG STOP D!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
one more time for the D.
1st and goal on the 8 for SJSU.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
FUMBLE STANDS....D is being tested....big time, watch out for the penalties.......let's go
September 27th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
Come on D. Let's get it back. That is the only thing our D hasn't done this year; get turnovers.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
I will be blunt!
This is one of the most undisciplined teams ever - especial the OL!
Funaki is NOT a D1 QB. Maybe if this was the option offense like Navy runs, but not in the R&S, or Pro-style offense. He has no arm strength, no touch, poor footwork.
I simply do not understand lining up in the shot-gun when it's 3rd and less
than a yard!
The UH coaching staff remains unproven.
Leahey continues to make errors - misidentified plays and players, missed calls, phantom calls, etc. It's time Leahey.
IMHO
September 27th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
NOW is the time for the drums!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
TD SJSU.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
TD SJSU.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
yikes. Offense is off. Mebbe time to go to the bathroom.
Ok! False start. Sjsu back to their 13. Gets 3. 2 new nds goal brokeem by Mouton
Hike wide open received. Td sjsu pat good.
17-14 uh
September 27th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
I apologize for all of these double posts. I don't know why it keeps doing that.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
Run the option from under the center!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
Ahhh...lets go boys, 4th quarter, here we go...
PROTECT DA HOUSE!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
dammit.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
Higgins 24-30 for 303 yds and 3 TD against the #3 defense in the country tonight!
GO WILDCATS
September 27th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
funaki, make it up right here.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Fumble Pollard. SJSU gets the ball back again.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Mouton on the KO is back to their 26. Fumble!
Sheesh. End of 3Q
September 27th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
DAMMMMMIITTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Another fumble!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Let's go WARRIORS!!!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
WOW...lets go boys football is 4 quarters not 3!!! Where the hell is Pilares...Coach put him back in and give him the ball!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
come on offense. do your part. GET YOUR INTO THE GAME, gunfunit!
GO WARRIORS!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
The offense looked good in the first quarter, but the penalties really hurt us. Now they have to let the D get the ball back, then calm down, play with poise and put points on the board!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
The Defense is on the field toooo long
September 27th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
Reference my previous note, they are ripping at the ball. = fumbles. Gotta take care of the ball. where are the f**** offense coaches?
September 27th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
sjsu is starting to make errors. False start.
Inc pass (Lucky, he was open) comp.
1st and 10 on our 30. Cmon dee!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
Oh no! Adam Leonard is down!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
someone is down. Argh Adam leonard
September 27th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
Defense needs to save the offenses arse once again...lets go boys!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
SJSU is really a lousy team... and UH is playing right down to their level!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
here comes the WAVE
September 27th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Now only if our defense can score for our offense.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Running laps ... maybe take out of the game and give someone else a chance. Too many unnecessary 15 yard penalties. Put some kids in that are disciplined and want to win.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
This game is starting to get sloppy.
Can't believe the D is gonna have to bail our O out.....once again.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
Defense makes the big stop and SJSU misses the FG.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
Wide left! Hee hee. Dodged 'da bullet.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
Throw to the zebra fg no good we need to score NOW!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
Lets go O drive, protect the ball, give the defense some help!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
Can we trade all of our QBs for Cameron Higgins?
September 27th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
shut up the drums!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
One nice sustained drive would be good ...
September 27th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
HELP!!!!!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
Funaki intercepted again on a very bad pass.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
another int. that makes 3 for a total of 5 turnovers.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
Why Funaki, Why...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
put in graunke.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
another int. A lot of booing
September 27th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
we can still save ourselves if we act right now.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
Will we see Graunke come and save the game?
September 27th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
TURNOVERS ARE KILLING US
September 27th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
Ryan Mouton....Graunke warming up!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
Mouton is having a very good game.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
We were really spoiled with Rolo, Timmy and Colt. Duh!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Lets go Offense get your chit together, Funaki get your head out dayumit!!! You guys are killing me!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
GRAUNKE IS WARMING UP, FUNAKI WILL BE DONE
September 27th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Sorry I forgot Dan Robinson ... that's in the JJ era ...
September 27th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
the dee is working OT wish they would just getba dee SCORE already!
Graunke is warming up.
Curveball is a good spotter.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
the DEFENSE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
I'll say it again...
Funaki is NOT a D1 QB. No arm strength, no touch, poor footwork. He never looks off his receiver. That last INT was tossed flat-footed. And this isn't the only game that he has simply not performed!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
Mouton is beastin this game...
Is Pilares hurt or something, where the hell is he...he is our playmaker on offense he needs the dayum ball and to be in the game!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
How much running does it take to 'reprogram' overly aggressive guys? hard on defense to hold up, but to be so blatant is another thing altogether
September 27th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
SJSU makes a 50 yard FG. It's all tied up.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
This is the defining moment for our offensive coaching staff this year. right here. right now.
Go Warriors!!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
Tied game.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
17-17, oh boy.
how many guys are going to call for Mack's head on Monday? TG coming in to save the day? whew, pretty lean in qb's
BC talking about TG saving the game against Weber State, c'mon, Weber State is a D1AA, wow
September 27th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
Graunke's in
September 27th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
If we give SJSU enough chances with good enough field position they might figure out a way to beat us. What do you think?
September 27th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
Graunke in.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
Here we go Tyler, it's your time to save our arse and shine again...
September 27th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
While I think it's great that we have the other teams thinking and having to prepare for two QBs when they come to face us, it pains me when we ACTUALLY HAVE TO use both of those QBs.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
a passing first down!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
O=line picked up that blitze well.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
They can (should) run against SJSU. Pilares and Libre had success earlier....mix in some passes... but don't forget the run!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
quick release
quick release
September 27th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
This is a passing offense! No offense to Inoke!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
holy cow
how was that not holding.
haha.
wac refs!
nothing like it!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
Wow - I believe that's HOLDING by Kia!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
WOW...what a slam Steiny chee huu!!! hahaha
September 27th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
Our Warriors are scrapping, for sure!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
Agreed chawan_cut. That was a blatant penalty on the O-Lineman.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
I mean Kia haha
September 27th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
Iceman baby, blass um buleh blass um...
September 27th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
56 yard field goal attempt by DK
September 27th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
Iceman attempting a 56 yard FG
September 27th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
Come on Kelly. We need this score. You still get ice in your veins?
September 27th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
Not even close.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
WOW...this game is draining boy...sheesh...
Save our arse D, you can do it!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
What happened to Pilares? He's the only one who's made touchdowns!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
Wow this is going to be a long year .... BSU and FSU on the road. Hmmm.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
Nice stop Defense. Come on Tyler. Lead us to a TD. No turnovers.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
good D. we need to find another punt returner.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
thank goodness for our D.
92 yard drive. right here.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
We must score now.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
Lets go boys, put this game to rest...protect the house, go all out, where your heart at!!! BRING IT!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
Long way to go down the field for the game-winning score.
We keep playing schizophrenically like this and it's gonna be a long WAC season.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
LET'S GO WARRIORS!!!!!
Take it down the field!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
Dang it. Interception SJSU.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
so, 6 turnovers it is...
September 27th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
4th INT of the game.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
DOES COACH KNOW PILARES IS OUR BEST OFFENSIVE PLAYMAKER!!!!!!!
GRRR IF WE LOSE THIS GAME IT"S BECAUSE WE KILLED OURSELVES DAYUMIT!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
5 turnovers in the second half...
September 27th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
What an ugly game for us!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
dammit
we need a turnover
or block their fg
September 27th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Come on D. Let's get a turnover of our own.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
The D holds again..
Now it's down to a 47 SJSU FG attempt. and it's good.
1:47 to go...
September 27th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
Come on Warriors!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
FG by SJSU. They lead 20-17. Just under 2 minutes remaining.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
Mouton and Dowling are awesome!!!
lets go special teams...offense...score...
September 27th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
ok, this is up to tyler now
September 27th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
6 Turnovers? You cannot win like that. Great defense though...
September 27th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
6 turnovers are ok if they are in the 1st half and you are still leading - or the other team has a bunch as well, but in this game...
September 27th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
Game over man... Crap, what a loss. Hawaii is so much better then this...
September 27th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
Six sacks, six turnovers, hard to beat!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
Come on guys. BELIEVE you can do it. The announcers are giving up on this team, but I'm not.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
a sack with a 3 man rush!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
dammit
September 27th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
Hmmm...Hawaii Offense WOW...what to say...they gave the game to SJSU...it ain't over yet but they deserve to lose...DEFENSE CANNOT DO IT ALL!!!
GAME OVER!!! EXHALE...WOW...time for work the punching bag!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
good thing our receivers know how to tackle. Time for a defensive td
September 27th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
incomplete on 4th and 4... game over.
48 hour rule starts now...
and even though it doesn't look like it, we can still win the WAC and win a bowl game. We just have to believe!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
anyone know a kahuna or priest that can bless this team?
September 27th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
Oh well, and it doesnt get better next week in Fresno. Gonna get killed...
September 27th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
dis is one ugly game. C U at Fresno next week.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
ONE SNAP AND CLEAR....FRESNO NEXT WEEK!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
If a player is not ready to go - then he should be playing. The coaches end up just fooling themselves. Note the emphasis on FOOL!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
our offensive coaches gave away the game!
au'we. no discipline. the way we're losing really sucks.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
Does anyone know the announced attendance for tonight's game?
September 27th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
Chawan, I think this football team needs an exorcism....
September 27th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
TO with 51 secs left.
False start 3rd down
September 27th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
That's the game!!! If you were the coaches what do you tell the team? They must be sick to have lost this game. I feel bad for Coach Mack. Just too many turnovers, too many penalties...the O-line missing assignment, the secondary just a tad bit slow...The Special teams played much better this game. The defense played hard...The offense sputtered again! The penalties and turnovers just killed us!! And the next game is against Fresno!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
I'm still going be in Fresno supporting this team but dayumit this is frustrating!!! One thing I'm extremely pissed about is where the hell did Pilares go? He better be hurt cause if not WOW, Gerke is frikkin dumb! HEY COACH PILARES IS YOUR BEST RB AND OFFENSIVE PLAYMAKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:30 pm
Good night to my Tsaiko friends! Embarrassing & humiliating night for UH Football!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:30 pm
I understand the pulling Inoke decision. I do not understand putting Tyler in the game, at all. The coaches were just fooling themselves. I agree with that 100%.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:30 pm
Not playing like WAC champions tonight.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:30 pm
wow. coach mack doen't look very happy....
September 27th, 2008 at 9:32 pm
ok, here's the true test.
who will stick with the team for the rest of the season.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:32 pm
1 sec on the clock. One more play. Pau
September 27th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
I don't know how much we have in the stands this week, but I can tell you that the next home game will have a lot less fans in the stands. Just the way our fair weather fans work. We gave that game away.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
chawan - the Tsaikos will be there.
7 down.
8 UP!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
I will Chawan... Even though it looks rough, especially at Fresno and Boise, I will be listening intently every time my boys take the field...
GO WARRIORS!!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
Wow this was after a bye week ... no discipline ... no execution on O ... D is living up to expectation and carried the load tonight ... if not for the D the score would have been worse.
What happened to Pilares?
September 27th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
Goodbye Funaki. Time to train up the JCs.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
As much as I want this team to win and all that...I have watched every game so far and although I believe we can still have a winning season, I have hit reality. Reality tells me this team will struggle to make a bowl game and will be very lucky if they do. It also tells me, with this offense and merry-go-QB system we have going, it is going to equate to a lot of frustrating games and a loooonnnggggg season! I BELIEVE but dayumit show me something Warriors!!! Dig Deep, See you boys in Fresno! I will bring my jersey and some pads if I need to jump on that dayum field!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:39 pm
I really hope they figure out how to score points...
The penalties and turnovers have got to stop. Even with the turnovers, we would have been good if we didn't give them over 110 yards in penalties - especially when most of them were personal foul penalty yards.
Our defense was great! And special teams were great! The time is now for the offense to step up! If we play the game we are capable of, Fresno goes down. If we play like tonight, it will be a long night.

Pauoa, this team might have won its only game of the season already. It is gonna be one LOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG year......
September 27th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Next time let Rego play more!! Alternate with Pilares. I'm sure Libre is great but if he only gains 1 or 2 yards, get another guy in there. I can predict where he's gonna run when he touches the ball. How many sacks did they have against us? O-line come on...missed assignments, personal fouls...Steep learning curve..you can improve with each game coming up. Start with Fresno! Man, this gonna be a tough year!!!
On a brighter note, the Wahine VB are doing well! I think they found their missing pieces in Herring and Farrell.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:41 pm
Don't give up on the team! Don't stop supporting the team! I hope that there is a good crowd for the next game at Aloha Stadium...the team needs the fans more than ever.
I don't have much to comment on the game--instead of the 48 hour rule, I think I'm going to have the 30 minute rule and try to purge the game from my mind. A few things:
Lots of injuries. I'm guessing Pilares was hurt. Lots of other players definitely are hurt. Tyler doesn't seem ready to play.
The coaches did a great job with fixing up the special teams. That was a huge improvement from the previous 3 games--if the special teams had been like they were against Florida, Oregon State, or even Weber State, then SJSU would have won much easier.
The OL has problems. However, remember that SJSU has an *excellent* DL! They rushed the passer well against excellent competition, so part of the problem with the protection was that SJSU was really good.
Penalties killed the team and it can be argued that penalties cost UH the game. That is sad, especially if emotions get out of control and the opponent gets free yardage that changes the game.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
Hmmm...I going sleep already too frustrating to talk about this game anymore...
No worry I will always BLEED WARRIOR GREEN BLOOD and love this team for life!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 9:43 pm
Penalties, no matter how you state it, shows poor coaching....
September 27th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
I'm not overlooking this year beause we've still got a ways to go...but looking ahead to next year...with alot of seniors graduating who are our prime time players, we're gonna have a lot of newbies; talented but newbies. I hope they can fill the shoes or better. Can't wait to see Paipai and all our local boys. Stutzman will probably contribute right away.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:51 pm
Amazing that the #1, #4, #9, #16, #20, and #23 teams this week lost to unranked teams! The #3 team also lost.
With this type of crazy stuff happening, remember that UH has a chance at Fresno State no matter how negative the feeling may be right now.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:51 pm
Yeah...penalties, especially the personal fouls shows no discipline..The coaches didn't seem to be able to control the team and get them to focus.
They must have a sports psychologist to get them in the proper mind set for the games.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
When Libre replaced Pilares it was announced to the press that Pilares' return was questionable...so he was injured.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:58 pm
Injuries after injuries...just can't catch a break (no pun intended). Imagine Soares just about to come back from his gastroc tear when he sprains his ankle. Adam Leanord was down too. Leon Wright-Jackson appeared kind of gimpy too. Mel DeLaura's got his work cut out for him!!
September 27th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
I guess we should also give our congratulations to Coach Tomey and his coaching staff. That trick play for SJSU's first TD was huge--if you take that play away, UH dominated the first half! Without that single play, UH would have had all the momentum and the game could have been put away in the first half.
I grew up watching Tomey's teams pull off trick play after trick play. Unfortunately, this time it was against UH. Tomey also got his first win at SJSU against UH.
September 27th, 2008 at 10:04 pm
ok time to sleep. somehow. maybe i'll wake up and this will all be a nightmare.
September 27th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
Aloha Gang-
Disappointing loss to be sure, but not disappointed in the team... Currently watching the press conference and to see Adam Leonard say what he did, the way he said it was an inspiration. To see how far this team has come, through the adversity of losing their coach, famed quarterback to graduation, and the majority of it's recieving corps, this team still plays for one another, and the love they have for one another is to me, the most important thing. Sure, we're 1-3 right now... Sure the naysayers will come out of the woodwork, as they already have, but if we abandon the team now, what are we? Ship jumpers, fair-weather fans, complete and total losers in my opinion... So my fellow Tsai-kos and true supporters of Warrior Football, while this loss might be disappointing, the team is now at a critical juncture; and we as fans are at a critical juncture as well. We can either fold and become naysayers and fairweather fans, or we can support the team regardless of record. They say adversity builds character, I say adversity REVEALS it. From what I've seen, this team has a lot of character, although truth be told, it hasn't shown up on the scoreboard, but the true measure of a man is not set by wins and losses, the true measure of a man is how he handles the adversity. So, Tsai-kos, what do you say we show our character and keep MAKING MEMORIES?!?!?
(off the soapbox)
NEO out
September 27th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
Coach Mack on PPV right now!
September 27th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
Wow, NEO...well said! What did Adam say?
September 27th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
A lot of the PF calls were BS too... in key situations... Sure you don't win or lose by the refs but a lot of those were BS-ish. haha, "they should have had 36 points..." very true, with 6 turnovers, the Spartans should have scored a lot more... Credit to UH defense for holding them down to only 20 points... of course we did lose by 3... Stability at quarterback was my question, and I think Coach just answered my questions... overall, very proud of the team, and I think they've improved, the only thing now is to improve the 6 turnovers. If coach reads this, "keep doin' ya thing coach, NEO supports you!!"
NEO out (again)
September 27th, 2008 at 10:19 pm
Losing a game is not the hardest thing to watch...It's the players' disappointing faces which tugs at you.
September 27th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
Howzit Tsai-kos!
I was listening to Bobby & Robert, and they said (maybe it was John Veneri) that Pilares got hit on the head when he scored his second TD and may have suffered a concussion. That's why he didn't return to the game.
Whew, that was a tough loss. The better team lost! Self-inflicted!
I think they'd better not give them 48 hours this time. They've got to put this behind them right away and get busy preparing for Fresno. Except for the turnovers and penalties, they played better this week. Significant improvements in several areas. They need to build on that, and fix the problems that led to tonight's loss.
GO WARRIORS!! ONE GAME AT A TIME!! KEEP THE FAITH!!
September 27th, 2008 at 10:24 pm
Hoohiki-
Adam basically said "I hate losing, I don't hate many things in this life, since you know I've been bless to be able to play football, but the one thing I hate is losing, so I'm real disappointed in that, but I'll tell you that I'm not disappointed with my brothers on the field, to see how we've played as a team, and how we play for each other, I'm real proud of that, to see how far we've come..." Tell you man... I can't believe these players, and all the adversity they've gone through, how well they adjust... I can see it in their eyes that they hate to lose, but at the same time, I can see that they still have that competitive fire in their eyes... One snap and clear...
NEO out (3rd time)
September 27th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
Just got home and I survived my first Warrior game. I did get a little wounded at the tailgate. Had a great time right up until we lost. Obviously the turnovers and penalties killed us.Just seemed like allot of mental mistakes.It also appeared that the ref's sucked...
Thanks Liz for the ticket..it was great fun all day...
September 27th, 2008 at 10:37 pm
There is only one player missing on this team right now, Colt Brennen,
I can't talk about this game right now, too upset and don't want to be negative, but this should have been an easy win. Six turn overs, you can't beat a High School team with that.
Defense played fantastic, special team was greatly improved, but we don't have a QB, Funaki can't play in this offense come game time, he keeps missing wide open receivers every play and throws right at defenders. Tylers hand still seems to be bad, at least I hope that was the reason.
If we play like that at Fresno, it will be another nightmare.
It feels so totally weird not having an offense. If we ever find one, we could be a great team. Off course, now that the team will need the fans the most, they will stay away in droves. Hawaii only has about 30,000 REAL fans.
But we truly must develop the JC's now, at least as back-ups and if Tyler doesn't cut it in Fresno, we might as well play them, nothing to lose anymore, they can't be worse than what we have now.
Well, good night gang, I feel drained and frustrated, but off course will root for the next game and the next and the next....
September 27th, 2008 at 10:42 pm
For the second week in a row we have now winner in the TSAIKOS pik's. But we do have a winner in the team, the score might not have reflected it but their hearts did and that's enough for me!!!

September 27th, 2008 at 11:05 pm
howzit tsaikos,
is it just me or are we going from bad to worst?
that was truly truly sad. we did a great job at giving the game right to SJSU. interceptions and personal fouls. what the hell is going on??? im not one to point fingers but from what i see, especially from the penalties is that the players
1) have absolutely NO FRICKEN DISCIPLINE-ZERO
2) no respect for the coaches.
3) maybe the coaches lack the necessary experience.
there was that one foul...think it was number 70-something and Brian Smith came over to chew him out...he looked the other way and started walking away from the coach...the coach then follows him, chasing down the player and he continued to avoid the coach turning his head around and walking the other direction. NO RESPECT.
IMHO yeah its so great that you would have coaches that can relate to players seeing it wasnt that long ago that they were in those position. but i think that some of those coaches are so close in age to the players that there is no respect...they seem them more as peers.
did coach mack make the right choices in his staff? ....season is young...sort of...so i cant totally say...but if i was just to make a call right now...no...staff seems incompatible.
its gonna be the 5th game of the season and i dont think we have figured out who our QB is...on that note that leads me to Rolovich.... lets just say if mack said "he is young and although not very experienced, he will evolve to be a contributor to the team" i think people would be more sympathetic....but for him to say "he is one of the best QB coaches i know...well that kinda equates to a lot of things"
i really dont know what else to say...i hope we change and make adjustments...to be honest...i am a fan, lived through vonappon and will continue to back the warriors through wutever...but i am realistic...at this rate we do not have a winning season....period...lets hope the warriors work hard to improve and get their butts in gear.
on a more positive note...the defense...........*APPLAUSE* they did excellent!!!!!! =)....they really prevented what could have turned into a ugly score in the end. hats off to them and continue to do what you do guys!

ooops it posted twice...sorry haha
September 27th, 2008 at 11:36 pm
I agree with iwonder. personal fouls on the offensive line are fricken killing us. even last week at OSU, we drive the ball down, score and touchdown and we get a fricken personal foul so we kick off from the 15. the offensive line has no discipline. i hope that the coach can get their attention.
September 27th, 2008 at 11:37 pm
Hawaii we remember what you did to our logo 3 years ago. No more Colt this year it's.....Brandstater who threw three touchdown passes and as the FRESNO STATE Bulldogs beat UCLA 36-3.
Next week it gets worse for the Warriors. Good luck in the DOG POUND!
September 27th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
how can an offensive captain lead the team when he is getting the personal fouls. i understand playing hard with an attitude but it's just stupid. i see it happening in practice and it carrys over into the game. to me, that isn't too much of a "team" player and definately shouldn't be a captain if it continues.
September 27th, 2008 at 11:42 pm
hey stretch...long time. yup yup personal fouls have no place in football. be tough by making the plays....everyone can understand emotions..1 or 2 fouls in a high adrenaline game...yeah its fine. but after that its out of control.
September 27th, 2008 at 11:44 pm
When San Jose was on the field already and the warriors came out it looked like there was going to be a riot. San Jose came onto the field and there was a lot of verbal and hand gesturing between the two teams to the point where the refs and the coaches started backing both teams up. It seems to me that Hawaii took it personal and let it interfere with their game. Stupid penalties both d-line and double stupid o-line. Hawaii acted like they wanted to fight more than play ball..
September 27th, 2008 at 11:44 pm
hey tsaikos.
first i would like to say the defense played great as expected. i liked the emotion on the field. special teams coverage wise was better, but i would want to see a little bit more effort on at least trying to block the kicks. offense has problems. graunke clearly wasnt ready. there were a couple passes where the receivers had to wait for the ball to come to them. there wasnt the usual zip in the passes. i would give the jucos especially rausch reps now. i would like to see the potential in the qb that actually was the number 1 qb wen he was healthy before the season started. once graunke is 100% again then maybe see where we are at, but graunke does not look ready yet. playcalling also needs some work because to me it seemed like on the offensive drive where kelly attempted the 55 yard field goal that every play on first down was the same exact running play. they need to shake it up a little by mixing up the types of running plays.
if hawaii gets the offense rolling i wouldn't count out a win against fresno. their defense is giving up a lot of points and our defense is starting to heat it up. dont give up warriors.
September 27th, 2008 at 11:45 pm
stretch wot choke chain you mahu
September 27th, 2008 at 11:45 pm
stretch! Where you stay? Pride says- if you no come practice, you no can play! Bwahaha!

liz - tell pride i will call them at 530 when I wake up to go golf.
koakane - btw, where were YOU last night??
September 27th, 2008 at 11:50 pm
pomai....shouldn't hiflyer be the winner of the pik the score contest?
since you said that who ever came closest to the uh score first then the opponent.
so hiflyer got the 17 on the nose and since no one else had picked 17.....he wins.
September 27th, 2008 at 11:57 pm
wea you now my chain broke and I hear your's still short. even Steve Tsai says no olos
September 28th, 2008 at 12:01 am
hey tsaikos...
is it true that the coaches had to craft a special offensive scheme just for funaki?...i dont think that can be true...because why would you have a 2nd string QB who does not fit into your "regular" offensive package?...i mean i know he isnt the best passer...but is he that much different that they need to make a WHOLE separate offense for him? we are $h&t outta luck if thats the case.
that would also prove difficult for the o-line i guess...seeing that they have to work twice as hard at remembering different plays for a "graunke offense" and "funaki offense"...
that just seems a little too far fetched for me....has anyone heard otherwise?
September 28th, 2008 at 12:02 am
people tend to exaggerate about things like this thats why. hahaha

evening Tsaikos.
Disappointing evening. Not much confidence in the offense. Defense did great. Team need to get working on FSU tomorrow. Short week.
Nite nite. Esme and out. whooosh.

mahalo!

Calling it a night.
See you all later.
September 28th, 2008 at 12:28 am
This probably is more disappointing than the other two loses because we were expecting a win.
I would think the team knows what they did wrong. Now they just have to correct it and get better in a hurry.
Imua!
September 28th, 2008 at 12:29 am
Looks like Rocky might be gone for the season...
September 28th, 2008 at 12:30 am
Questionable thoughts:
Think this was a tough loss as a fan? How do you think the team feels? Need to vent? Need to lick your wounds? Didn't we know in the deep dark recesses of our minds that this could possibly happen? Didn't we lose a great quarterback and a special "All WAC" offensive unit? Didn't the prognosticators predict this? Don't we have a new coaching staff? How do we define progress in a loss? Isn't it the euphoric hangover of last season that makes us believe despite the reality of it all? Alas, mine is not to ask why; mine is to do or die...as a fan...to believe...and to support. There is no question that time heal our wounds. Go Warriors!
September 28th, 2008 at 12:38 am

September 28th, 2008 at 12:39 am
haka-
i feel u..the team must feel like doodoo. whats more is that even if they are getting the short end of the stick coaching wise...they have absolutely no say or grievance process to ask for new leadership (IF this is the case, which i dont think it is)
ahhh but fortunately for us fans...we do...as public servants these coaches fall under the scrutiny of all taxpayers. we have a right to call it like we see it (whether skewed or not)...including but not limited to asking for their jobs or asking for improvement...accountability...something i wish all of government was held to. hahahahah =P
September 28th, 2008 at 12:42 am
LizK,
Be sure to "rehydrate" him properly. He was having blurry vision in the press box.
September 28th, 2008 at 12:49 am
Self inflicted losses are the hardest for fans to swallow. Being a retired armchair/monday morning QB, I won't comment on play calling or coaching. But I will say, a self inflicted loss is one of a coach's best teaching tool. When they go over the game film with the team, they be a lot of "coaching/teaching" going on after.
This was a self inflicted loss, too many mistakes of all type were made. What else can you say.
September 28th, 2008 at 12:52 am
meant to say there'll be a lot of coaching/teaching...
September 28th, 2008 at 3:01 am
Uhhh, Preseason I had UH with 10 or 11 wins including SJSU
Keeping positive, UH will win 8 and a bowl game

September 28th, 2008 at 4:38 am
good morning,
you can't turn the ball over that many times and expect to win. i am glad i was not at the game, i would have been more sick than sick. just listening on the radiod to C&K I was sick.
what's the problem? so many penalties, no discipline, all the yacking, playing like thugs out there. i thought we had evolved from that stereotype from years back.
i don't know, i'll leave it to the powers that be, but there definitely is something wrong.....did i hear someone say, "Manoa, we have a problem!"
Get 'r done, and fix it Mack, that's why you get paid the big bucks. The knock on the coaches is youth and inexperience; we need leaders not yes men. If there is no respect, we have anarchy.
September 28th, 2008 at 4:47 am
Good morning Tsaikos...
The good news is that we can fix the penalty issue right away. As for the turnovers, if someone told me yesterday that we were going to have as many as we did last night I would of expected to see a blowout loss. Instead, our D kept it close.
Pomai:
20-17 Hawaii over Fresno.

99club,
i remember the same situation with another team my son played for, it was always 'defense wins games'...but the rhetorical question was 'every game?' haha
just throwing my 2 sense out there to liven up the room.....basically, we have nowhere to go, but up......seems we're pretty much on the bottom of the barrel and we gotta go to work.

Bulla,
Yup, we can't always make the D carry the load. I'm sure the guys are in the locker room saying "Eh, a little help here?"
September 28th, 2008 at 5:17 am
I confess. I fell asleep during half-time. The way they played in the 1st half showed some bright spots on the offense. But, once Pilares left the game with the suspected concussion everything seemed to fall apart. It is obvious with the way the offense is right now the only offensive weapon we have is Pilares. If he is out for any length of time we are in serious trouble.
Hopefully, Libre and LWJ and Rego will return in full-strength very soon. Otherwise, as one previous poster said, we may have already seen the only win this team will earn.
Bulla . . .
Enjoy your time!
September 28th, 2008 at 5:21 am
LizK . . .
Tried contacting you yesterday but left a message instead. Hope things went well!
Thank you for the photos of the game last night. Hey! That elevator in the South Endzone used to be where I worked a few of the Islander games taking VIP's up to the pressbox. Talk about claustrophobic. Eh, the job had its ups and downs.
HA!

Good Morning Tsaikos!!
Where's ST, Koakane or Pride?? hmmmm..... I guess they are still getting their much needed beauty rest.
September 28th, 2008 at 6:04 am
I forgot to post this last night...
Thank you to the person who "borrowed" my hibachi sometime during the game last night. I guess leaving the hibachi outside to cool off after tailgating is no longer safe.
September 28th, 2008 at 6:08 am
too bad he doesn't mention the penalties also...
September 28th, 2008 at 6:24 am
Reading all the stories about the game to archive the quotes is really painful...but I'm proud of how Sol and Adam told the team after the game to stick together and not point fingers. If the team splinters into offense vs. defense and starts to point fingers, the season will go downhill fast...so them addressing the team like this was showing their leadership.
September 28th, 2008 at 6:27 am
Hey there Tsaikos and Tsaikettes
Dont know what happened to the Warriors? They need to improvise,overcome.adapt to what is going on? They need to regroup and focus on the next game in fresno.dont think it will be an easy one?
Everyone enjoyed the T-gate? Rob25 did,how was the grinds?
September 28th, 2008 at 6:28 am
One thing that stood out to me--maybe just as important as the 6 turnovers UH lost was that SJSU had ZERO turnovers. In the 3 losses, UH opponents have ZERO turnovers...that is a *huge* difference from previous Mack defenses. As Mack points out, UH won games last year when they turned the ball over 6 times and 5 times on the road.
September 28th, 2008 at 6:37 am
3rd down conversions for UH's offense:
1st half: 3-for-7
2nd half: 2-for-7
That doesn't really tell the story because the big stat was 1 turnover in the first half and 5 turnovers in the second half.
September 28th, 2008 at 6:49 am
Interesting that Mack singled out the OL for praise. Between the sacks and penalties, they sure struggled...but I agree that SJSU's DL is very good.
September 28th, 2008 at 6:50 am

you are 100% right, guess I can only plead that it was 4:40 in da morning en da eyes like sit down.

September 28th, 2008 at 7:16 am
We have our woes, but Udub's got it worse. Jake Lockers's injured and Tyrone's career is all but over.
September 28th, 2008 at 7:22 am
I think Locker's right leg is broken.
September 28th, 2008 at 7:26 am
Locker - broken right thumb. Out 6 wks. Hmmmmm .... throwing hand... just like another QB that should be sitting....
September 28th, 2008 at 7:27 am
here's one positive.
SJSU's QB is no longer throwing for that crazy 79% completion rate. he only threw for 50% last night and is now at a season rate of 72%.
colt's record is safe as just like my GPA, its hard to raise a % but easy to drop it.
September 28th, 2008 at 7:35 am
Almost forgot . . . sorry!
Good morning all! This is shaping up to be a nice day -- clear skies and temps up in the 70's. Whoo-hoo!
September 28th, 2008 at 7:37 am
wafan - Sorry about the poor instructions yesterday. I thought you were asking about tattoos, and not stickers!
September 28th, 2008 at 7:47 am
So Margo asks me if "my" team won? (It ended after midnight here on the west coast.) I told her they lost a heartbreaker. She asked if I still wanted to go to Fresno, and my reply was - "The team needs as much support as possible."
Some good positives last night and I think the team is making progress. However, Inoki had a hard time throwing the long ball. I do like his scrambling abilities, but penalties killed some good runs. Receivers finally looking comfortable.
One thing that bugged me - When Adam was injured and went to the side line, the only person that even acknowledged him was Tyler. Everyone else on the bench seemed wrapped up in their own little worlds.
Math for today - PENALTIES + TURNOVERS = LOSS
Honey-do time....laters...
September 28th, 2008 at 7:51 am
Brew . . .
Thanks for the correction.
C_C . . .
UH threw for a 58% completion rate -- slightly better. BTW, if you are in Silverdale, there is a good Japanese restaurant on the same side as the Silverdale Mall. It is located North of the mall, toward Poulsbo. Sorry not much more help since I forgot the name of the place. But, the food is excellent! And, the restaurant in the bowling alley is more than pretty decent, too.

Morning Tsaiko-Nation and Tsai-Meister.
After sleeping on yesterdays debacle, I can't decide if it's the offensive coaches we should be concerned with or strictly QB play.
On the other hand, the coaches don't throw interceptions or fumble the ball. It looks like it's some of both.
What ever happened to quick slants, short passes and such?
The offense seems to look lost, but again I say, we now truly can appreciate how great Colt was and by just inserting him, this team would be great. Because of that, I must say it's mostly a problem at QB.
September 28th, 2008 at 7:56 am
Great Morning All!
Well, it is a beautiful morning in Hawaii-nei.
Agree with much that's been stated here:
- need to field a QB who can play within the base offense;
- lack of discipine is glaring on the OL;
- defense is a source of pride again;
- special teams is no longer a point of shame (with the exception of "shanked" FG attempts)
September 28th, 2008 at 7:56 am
..."Manoa, we definitely have a problem"! Something is missing...there's like no chemistry..or is it something else that I'm missing.
September 28th, 2008 at 8:00 am
IMHO - QB's have their own problems. They were not responsible for the personal fouls, holds, missed blocking assignments, and selfish play.... Somehow, the there's a bit too much "me" in the "TEAM".
September 28th, 2008 at 8:03 am
Just an observation this Sunday morning.
My grandson's soccer team suffers from something similar to the Warriors. They have great players, good players, inexperienced players. They suffer losses because they do not play as a team. Each tries to do it all themselves, they don't talk to each other, support each other, work together. I ask my grandson when he complains about it, well, what are "YOU" gonna do about it?
The Warriors need to come together and this must come from within the team. Someone or someones need to step up to lead this team. They need to discipline themselves and each other to avoid silly and stupid penalties. They need to work together as a team and if they leave it all on the field, if they have done all that they can do and still lose, then it's all you can ask for. To lose is one thing. To lose this way, well....
September 28th, 2008 at 8:08 am
TsaikoGate was great, as always...
Nice to meet curveball. I wish his inaugural visit to Aloha Stadium had a better ending but hopefully you'll be coming back again as the Warriors get it turned around. There's nothing more satisfying than being there when that happens!
Big mahalo again to Nalani for the CD. We listened to it on the way home - it's great! (too bad you not going be able to make good on the other part
) It was really nice talking story with you and your hubby.
It was even more funny watching midori7 getting all "gaga" over meeting you!
duffer,
You get one surprise coming.
September 28th, 2008 at 8:14 am
pomai looks like wafan and ralph was closer imho
September 28th, 2008 at 8:19 am
Good Morning Everyone!
I have to vent...stupid, preventable penalties and stupid, preventable turnovers DO NOT WIN GAMES!!!...grrr...
OK...thanks...
I think Haka says it all in post #688.
Reality check time...we lost Colt, Bess, RGM and Rivers along with (and don't hate me for writing his name) Coach Jones, Morrison, McKnight, Suan and Reinebold. We have a "defense-minded" head coach and a lot of NEW coaches on offense. It's obviously taking time to "gel" as a unit and a team. I DO think they will come around and get it together, eventually...I just hope it's sooner than later.
OK, on to a couple of other topics:
1) Did anyone have trouble last night with Oceanic streaming video? I'm in California and had to watch the game on my computer. Last year I didn't have any trouble with HawaiianTel, but last night, the audio was great and the picture was good, but the sound and picture never matched up...it was really frustrating. I followed all of the suggested "troubleshooting" ideas, but none worked. If anyone has any advice, I would love it because there are going to be a couple of more games I'll have to watch this way.
2) Just thinking about the attendance at the stadium. Now that we aren't doing so well, I am sure attendance will be down. Since the stadium is so much bigger than most colleges have, wouldn't it make sense to condense the size? What I mean is close off the upper half (yellow and red sections) and make those people "crowd" in to the lower sections. Everyone is always so scattered about. There are a lot of stadiums, even the LA Colosium, that have sections they don't seat people in which makes the crowd more intimate and noisier too. Just a thought...
Anyway, it's on to Fresno...if we can get it together this week, we can make it a good game. It's going to be "passionate" so our guys really need to be disciplined to play the game by the rules. If we do, we'll be ok...we are currently sitting with the same record as UCLA and they gave the Bulldogs a good game yesterday.
LET'S GO WARRIORS!!!
September 28th, 2008 at 8:19 am
brew,
I agree with most of what you say with the exception that some of those holding penalties were the result of the QB being too indecisive and holding the ball too long. If no mo' rhythm back there it puts a lot of pressure on the OL.
Further, and this is not to excuse the stupidity and selfishness of getting a personal foul penalty, but one could see how the frustration of the OL could build because of those holding penalties.
(JMHO as one who played some OL)
September 28th, 2008 at 8:22 am
Mathematics is a beautiful thing! Jason and I proposed a formula last season that was quickly cast aside.
A logical method would be based on the minimum of the sum of the absolute differerences between the guessed and actual scores. This is readity calculated using an Excel spreadsheet or whatever. In addition, there could be more subjective tie-breakers, etc.
Okay - you guys can ignore this post.... again.
Jason - your assessment?
September 28th, 2008 at 8:26 am
Good morning Tsaikos everywhere!
And Good Morning to our Warriors!
Yesterday was frustrating. First couldn't go to Honolulu so I had to yell at the tv and wave my bannah in da hale.
den watching my team implode, dat wuz frustrating, for sure. den reading the comments about what summa yu saw on da sidelines with Coach Brian "coaching" a O line guy, dat wuz sad sad sad.
But I believe in our team. I'm showing up at the next home game, I promise that to myself.
I got a suggestion for Coach Mack. We gotta go with one of the JCs now. The QB is the leader.
We need a leader. I saw give it to the big bradda. Don't second guess yourself. Give him the whip, throw him in the ring, tell him he's there until its over, and let him play. Rausch isn't ready, mentally. I haven't heard him pulling on enough chain to make me comfortable that he's ready.
I'll stand behind Greg through thick and thin. Tyler and Inoke have had their chance. Sorry, but thats how I feel. I'd rather give Greg a chance to be the man this year and next.
And I'm standing behind Coach Mack. Whatever you say, coach. I know its as frustrating for you as it is for me. Hopefully you're more frustrated than I. I'm counting on you feeling like that, cuz that gives me hope for tomorrow.
I thought the game plan from UH's perspective was good, actually. The penalties killed us, and for the O line guy to turn his back on Coach Brian when Brian was venting/coaching, that shows me the young guyz don't feel in awe of the young coach. I suggest Coach Mack give Brian some crappy pills, so he can get fired up samoa. I saw Brian's personality last spring at the coaches clinic. He's gotta project a killer attitude TOWARDS his players. His language skills, speech pattern, maybe the young line guyz think they're his equal. I think Coach Mack gotta work on that with Brian. I dunno, but thats MHO.
Go Warriors!

Hi KonaGirl - I think someone else had a similar problem last night - maybe Ronnie? It might have been a bandwidth thing. Sometimes when the networks are busy, the video download struggles to keep up, ending up in synch problem w/ audio and video. Did you try going to the smaller video format (less data and bandwidth) and did the problem persist? Just a thought.
Frankly, I get very frustrated w/ Mr. Leahey's errors and sometimes listen to the 1420 feed, living w/ synch problems between the video and audio.
Ha - all this time I thought you were in Kona. Are you in So or NorCal? And are you going to Raisin-Land this Sat?

Hi Brew808,
Thanks for the advice...I actually started off with the smaller format for that reason and since it was doing the same thing, switched to the better picture instead. I think it may have just been a busy network. I hear you on Leahey, but there's still just something about his voice that makes it feel like home...
Actually, I'm in Kona as much as possible...home is there, but hubby's work takes us to California and lots of other places for a good portion of the year. We're trying our hardest to make the Fresno game, but work will dictate that...gametime decision.
Mahalo for the help!

eh brew808 made mistake yesterday. should have packed a twelve pack da six was no nuff.

Let's face it. UH isn't a very good team. They play with heart (as I suppose all teams do) but this is not their year.
I'm not writing them off for the year but four games into the season and they have yet to play a complete game. Somebody has to lose but dumb penalties, ill-advised throws, etc. don't help.
September 28th, 2008 at 9:08 am
My son locked himself out of his car so gong to his rescue with a 2nd set of keys all I had was the radio and lost reception at times.....This game made me sick, sick, sick. Turnovers and penalties.... last in WAC how bad is that, let SJSU hang around long enough to win it.
The coaching staff brings confidence or the lack of it. Coach Mack needs to brings his staff together. I agree with #695 SillyGorn. and whats with the third down conversions. This should be a wake up call. Gives some reps to other QB's until Grunke is healed, Inoke just isn't getting the job done, which is sad .
Warriors forever

September 28th, 2008 at 9:22 am
Greetings and Blessings Warrior Nation!
I'm not the same caliber analyst as some of our more brillliant posters like say, Jason or Pride, but here's my take on things:
First and foremost, get Tyler healthy. He would not have the kind of night he had with a healthy hand and wrist. When he's healthy, that missing component, the offense, will show up big time. With a little more consistency, Inoke can do the job too, but I think our world turns on a 100% healthy Graunke. IMHO.
Defense. Now they know what they can do. They'll have to keep playing with that same level of execution and intensity. We can all be proud of their play last night..
Better play from special teams, but they still need to improve.
As disappointed as we all may feel, our team can still become a much better one. All of the pieces aren't in place yet, but the defense has set the standard. It's hard to see at this point, but the offense CAN be as good as the defense was last night. Six sacks indicates that your offense is sputtering, and that sets up the turn overs.
Lots of hard work ahead, but the Warriors can do it.

First of all,mahalo to all of those who helped make Coach Alan Inaba, his wife Lisa and his first two students from Dole Middle School welcome at yesterday's T-Gate. More on how they got there later on.
We haven't sorted the HI-5 stuff yet, but it looks as if there'll be another $25 going to his after-school program.
Second, I asked Jason after the game to write one of his on-point anaylses of last night's game because I'm not comfortable about making public comments about a sport whose inner workings I'm still deep into learning from the ground up.
Unlike baseball where I probably attended my first game at the age of six months and was playing seriously by the time I was six or seven even though I was a girl, football was really pretty much a mystery until a decade or so ago when digital television became the broadcast/cable standard with incredible camera technologies.
Having said that, I did share some game observations with Jason last night at the post-game gathering at the cabana about the strong defensive line overall, the horrendous number of penalties, the lack of communication between the coaches & the players, and the key mental errors which set in motion what happened after that.
Mahalo for those of you who've taken the time to write comments and observations about football which added to my knowledge base.
