Warriors ... come out to play-ay!
By Stephen Tsai
Too bad games are not decided at banquets.
The Warriors were named the unofficial winner of the chant-off at the Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl banquet.
First, the Notre Dame players performed their victory chant.
Then at the end of his speech,UH head coach Greg McMackin noted the Warriors had their own chant. McMackin flashed the shaka sign at defensive tackle Keala Watson, who led the Warriors in a rousing ha‘a.
At one point, according to his wife, Watson knocked over two chairs and a serving cart.
In the back of the room, some family members tossed kukui nuts into the air.
McMackin noted it was the only the time the Warriors had full participation in the ha‘a.
UH athletic director JIm Donovan said the Warriors' rendition was "like poetry."
* * *
When "Hawai‘i Five-0" plays in the first and second half, the Warriors want their fans to make paddling motions in sync to the music, the way the student section does it during basketball games.
* * *
I spoke with two Notre Dame officials who were pleased that the Fighting Irish would be on the sideline facing the national television cameras. And that the Fighting Irish would be the home team. Little do they suspect that as the "home" team they will be standing in the rays of the setting sun.
* * *
There is a perk to being the visiting team. For some reason, during home games, the Warriors cram their entire team into one locker room, leaving a neighboring locker room vacant. The visiting teams, meanwhile, always use two locker rooms, usually separating the offensive and defensive units.

Good Morning Tsaikos!!
I figured that UH would be the "visitors" and stand in the shade. ND likes the sunshine so let them stand in it.
December 22nd, 2008 at 7:04 am
Top 3?
December 22nd, 2008 at 7:04 am
Go Warriors!
Beat Notre Dame
December 22nd, 2008 at 7:15 am
carried over from last post:
Great Morning All!
Talked with #2 son. Still holding in the airport. No snow but 21 degrees and wind picking up.
Rescheduled flt time of 0810 is now :55 bye bye; waiting….waiting…
December 22nd, 2008 at 7:16 am
Top 5?
December 22nd, 2008 at 7:17 am
4th!
ND on the mauka side? Like McGarret used to say:
Bake 'em, Dan-O!
December 22nd, 2008 at 7:17 am
Good Morning All. Aloha from the land of never ending snow. I just hope the weather clears enough for me to get out of here on the 30th.
December 22nd, 2008 at 7:18 am
Stephen,
So is your niece with the group waiting on a HA flt?
December 22nd, 2008 at 7:20 am
d1,
Good Luck to your son. I know what it's like to be stranded at the airport.
The majority of flights in and out of Spokane are mostly canceled for today
December 22nd, 2008 at 7:29 am
djmitcho,
I hope he gets back here before YOU do!
December 22nd, 2008 at 7:29 am
Top 15!! hedging my bets. hehehehe
December 22nd, 2008 at 7:33 am
Way off topic - but the current issue of the British Medical Journal, one of the most respected journals worldwide, has a bunch of fun, non-academic, papers with the general topic being “Everything you know is wrong”.

December 22nd, 2008 at 7:35 am
I don't have enough rhythm to paddle to the beat.
December 22nd, 2008 at 7:48 am
oops. I was freaming of Tsai-ko ceer practice...no kidding. My phone rang...
I'm late for work!!!
Aloha Kakahiaka and HiHo!
December 22nd, 2008 at 7:48 am
freaming=dreaming
December 22nd, 2008 at 7:59 am
Blackie,
I hear you. My favorite paddle is rice
#2 reports that runways are closed until 11...hopefully he meant "a.m."
December 22nd, 2008 at 8:07 am
All HAL flights out of SEA cancelled due to no deicing fluid
December 22nd, 2008 at 8:11 am
dakine,
Hope you're not waiting on someone from SEA today
December 22nd, 2008 at 8:12 am
Morning Tsaikos!
Good luck and safe travels for all Tsaiko families this holiday season.
I got a kick reading comments on ESPN re: Hawaii Bowl. Lotsa ND haters on there.
I was thinking of picking up those touristy coconut bras and grass skirt to wear at the game, but I think it's going to be too cold. hahahahaha.
December 22nd, 2008 at 8:12 am
And that the Fighting Irish would be the home team.............Suckas
December 22nd, 2008 at 8:16 am
I'm interested!
December 22nd, 2008 at 8:18 am
wonder how the weather will affect the BIS count for the Hawaii Bowl? for all bowls, for that matter?
December 22nd, 2008 at 8:21 am
what was that?
Looks like your chances are pretty good right now! Hang in there.
December 22nd, 2008 at 8:26 am
Good morning Tsaikos....
d1..hope your son makes it home safely and soon...
...same to you dj....
My niece just got home from NYC. Flew out of Syracuse and to O'Hare where she was stuck for 16 hours.....before finally getting on that 8 hour ride to Hawaii.....
Hope all is well with everyone this morning....have to esme today...busy busy...
December 22nd, 2008 at 8:27 am
Howdy Tsaikos!
Some nasty weather across the U.S. today. I hope the Irish are getting lots and lots of sun, saltwater, and too many Mai-Tais while they're here.
December 22nd, 2008 at 8:28 am
Oh..and I almost forgot to say that....
I forgot to mention Annodah Dave as giving us some great grab bags for the Tsaiko Christmas Party...those were some great gifts and I wanted to thank and acknowledge him for his donations....Sorry that I forgot about that.....
December 22nd, 2008 at 8:34 am
I’m interested!!!
December 22nd, 2008 at 8:43 am
I'm interested
and wouldn't you think Brett Favre would know how to play in the snow? Jets!
December 22nd, 2008 at 8:43 am
Aloha Kakahiaka!!!
d1 ~ Hope son gets out of OR safely.
My son & his friend are bicycling around the West Maui mountains.
What color t-shirt are we supposed to wear to this game? Green is a Notre Dame color, too.
December 22nd, 2008 at 8:54 am
Good question Mei Ling.
December 22nd, 2008 at 9:04 am
Since Stephen Tsai hasn't ever gotten a pix of JuJu, there's one on Cat's blog.
Yeah, I know, slow....
December 22nd, 2008 at 9:04 am
Hey ST...Did you go to Hawaii Bowl Banquet last nite? Understand ND was chanting "Rainbows" with a negative tone. Understand Hawaii players were not happy at all.....
December 22nd, 2008 at 9:08 am
re: story on warriors statistics
i like how the coach cannot blame a single individual(s) "o-line" for the number of sacks or the lack of protection. But when it comes down to special teams and how great our punt team is, all of a sudden Rego is congratulated as the key player. LOL...i dont get it.......
December 22nd, 2008 at 9:08 am
Good Morning Tsaiko's!
"I'm interested!"
If I win...I'll give it to my neighbor who just happens to be the loudest person on our block! People in Waianae can hear her scream *Chee Hoo!* when UH scores. Her and hubby are season ticket holders who procrastinated until all good Bowl seats were gone.
Funny thing is, she's normally a very shy lurker. Give her a few moments to down a few 'shooters' and she instantly transforms into the loudest cheerleader on the planet! (Some of you met her at the Blog Bash, her dad was with her). Note to BB Fans...her dad is a retired WAC basketball Ref.
December 22nd, 2008 at 9:14 am
Good morning everyone!
Another work day for me...good time to do computer R&M and updates when the students are on break. So, no vacation for me yet.
December 22nd, 2008 at 9:17 am
anybody know if the Boise State game will be on the radio tomorrow? the 1420 site is not very "user friendly".
December 22nd, 2008 at 9:25 am
I'm interested. If I win, I'll give it to Dad since I can't be home for the holidays.
December 22nd, 2008 at 9:31 am
jm2375 ~ These are the same British 'stiff-upper-lip' medical journal bubbleheads who warned us of Coca-cola not being a very effective contraceptive. (scroll down da link) It's no wonder they now say that "everything we know is wrong!"...
I knew all along that getting to know you was WONG! But I like you because you are feisty! The very funny Hawaiian story teller -Kent Bowman - had the perfect description for you. I will share it with you one day.
December 22nd, 2008 at 9:32 am
Good, I like our away uniforms better anyway. As long as they keep them tucked in. I think they should move the logo to the front of the helmet though. It seems a little off balance on the side of the helmet and I've seen some of the helmets in practice have them in front.
This game is big!! Go Warriors! Hope Obama shows up!
December 22nd, 2008 at 9:34 am
Good Morning.
Obama's choice of golfing at Olomana was peculiar. This I didn't understand. With the Mid Pac and Kaneohe MCAS courses nearby it was surprising to see him at Olomana. Compared to the other mentioned courses, and even Hickam, and not meaning to slight Olomana but Olomanas the hamburger next to the Mid Pac, Kaneohe MCAS and Hickam courses, which I would rate as prime cuts. Personally I would have selected the Kaneohe MCAS course, which is a lot more challenging and has panoramic views of the ocean.
If I were to type set the future President and graph his tendencies it wouldn't be so far fetch seeing him, speaking facetiously of course, at the Warrior game against Not re Dame sitting in the "North End zone".
About the great article ST did today featuring an interview with the coaches about the offensive line I think is long overdue. However embarrassing it is to the coaches and players to have writers and interviewers admonishing and bringing to attention of the poor play of the offensive line will only serve and inspire the offensive line players and coaches to get collectively better in the future, especially for the reserves and recruits they can see this as an opportunity to fill this void. Personally, if I was a member of the OL I would be mad as hell with so much flak about being the catalyst that if was the standout player of the unit I would shake the players around me and grab them by the ears and will them to get better. I think one of the coaches has to tell the leader of the group, Estes, that peer pressure applied to his other team mates would have "the greatest impact". When Coach Jones alluded as Colt as being like a coach on the field it made our team better, like wise we need someone on the OL to act as a coach on the field,too, in yielding better results.
Lastly, about last years remnants of potato chips l threw up in the air along with my arms and dreams of the Wariors beating Georgia in the Sugar Bowl, I pray this year that the potato chips find it's rightful place, my arms remain at my side, and I'm smiling and all my dreams are coming true as I'm watching the Warriors beat Not re Dame.
Continued Best Holiday Wishes to all.
December 22nd, 2008 at 9:41 am
Using the Rainbow cheer to fan the embers will only bring about a raging fire. One that will burn their okoles!!
Thanks Joe Moore...NOT!
GO WARRIORS!
December 22nd, 2008 at 10:07 am
I'm Interested!
December 22nd, 2008 at 10:13 am
I'm Interested!!!

Raaaaaiiiiinnnnn-booooooowwwwwwzzzzz
Raaaaaiiiiinnnnn-booooooowwwwwwzzzzz
Raaaaaiiiiinnnnn-booooooowwwwwwzzzzz
Would've been better if they said, "Warriors, come out to plaaaay"
I'm interested, but I can't go...but if I could go then it would depend who I would be sitting next to.
December 22nd, 2008 at 10:16 am
d1 - Thai Village is not bad. If they only had a buffet!
December 22nd, 2008 at 10:16 am
ND will come out and will seem more fired up than UH.
ND has a decent opening drive but Jimmy C succumbs to the pressure of our front seven and throws a pick to end their opening drive.
UH goes up 14-3 into the half. GA has not been sacked yet.
Start of the 3rd. ND comes out swinging, but UH defense settles in. GA is sacked twice, but the offense finds a way to score. UH leads ND 21-13 going into the 4th.
4th quarter is a defensive stalemate with GA taking two more sacks and Jimmy C not doing so well either as he has thrown 3 picks so far in this game. However, all game long UH has not given up a big play to ND, but that doesn't last long as UH's lead gets cut down to 21-20 with a failure on ND to get the two point conversion.
Dying moments ND attempts an on-side kick and UH recovers. Final score 28-20 UH.
December 22nd, 2008 at 10:18 am
So much for watching the game, Kazz already spilled the beans.
December 22nd, 2008 at 10:21 am
Homes ~ The ticket is for a seat in our Tsaiko 'cheering' section! We are 30 strong, but plan to do some recruiting for those around us.
December 22nd, 2008 at 10:24 am
The seat will be with the other 29 Tsaikos. From what I understand, there is something being planned to try and get the Tsaikos on TV.
December 22nd, 2008 at 10:27 am
Kekoa & Stretch - hmmm, sounds like a crime fighting duo...like I said, it would depend on who is sitting next to me, but no matter 'cause I can't go.
December 22nd, 2008 at 10:31 am
I can see it now... over 60+ boys clad in blue and gold... all lined up on the turf... "sleeping"...
"Sleeping" - defined as being knocked out due to arrogance. Previously enforced by David Veikune upon a New Mexico State Aggie. That NMSU player went to "sleep" for a few minutes before being carried off the field.
December 22nd, 2008 at 10:34 am
Good morning! I ran into some UH and Notre Dame players in Waiks last Saturday. Hopefully they're stimulating the economy. What a shocker and reality check of how much tourism is down. Waikiki looked pretty empty for a Saturday night.
December 22nd, 2008 at 10:36 am
I hope the guy or gal in charge of approving credits is on the ball and looking at the JUCO players' classes. This is late December, and these kids want to enroll in time for January classes. Timing is everything! Attending to these matters is a top priority. If the folks tending to Ching Field could work yesterday (Sunday) on the new turf, which they did, I hope the folks tending to these JUCO recruits are equally committed in completing the approval process.
December 22nd, 2008 at 10:36 am
homey,
Glad you enjoyed it.
Shhhh....no tell al...he set his DVR for the game.
heheheh
December 22nd, 2008 at 10:36 am
morning gang!
Kekoa - i had some ceded land questions, do you have an email addy? if not, sj and myki have mine. thanks
December 22nd, 2008 at 10:40 am
Homey ~ We can always ask the owners of Thai village to set one Buffet up just for us. Pick what you think would have general appeal, and see if they can work a reasonal price between $15 ~ $20 bucks.
El Mariachi is willing to work with us to provide one for $15. They don't ordinarily have a buffet. Bay View negotiated a great spread for us for $15. We hold the power of the eating public in a down economy. We jez remind 'em what our Tsaiko Tsaying is:
Feed Them - and They will Come!
December 22nd, 2008 at 10:41 am
Kelli,
"Waiks"???
Hmmm...
You go school in "Mans"?
December 22nd, 2008 at 10:46 am
Howzit Loa!
Send to kekoa22 at aol dot com. I can either answer your ceded land questions or point you to the right person who can...plus, if I need to put an exclamation mark on da subject, I call BHF2 for clarification written in da Queen's Pidgen.
December 22nd, 2008 at 10:47 am
Kekoa - I might try El Mariachi this weekend. The only thing not going for Thai Village is that they occupy a very small area. Two Tsaikos cannot pass each other going down the aisle.
December 22nd, 2008 at 10:51 am
So. Do we have tsum more Tsai-ko cheers to practice at the T-Gate?
Hawaii 5-0 paddling. Check.
First down. Check.
After score band cadence jump dance. Hmm. Notchet. Needs work.
Willie Grace. Hi Ho!
December 22nd, 2008 at 10:56 am
MLiz - Don't forget spelling W-A-R-R-IORS in the fight song.
December 22nd, 2008 at 10:59 am
1 day I will sit with the Tsaikos.
December 22nd, 2008 at 10:59 am
1 day I will sit with the Tsaikos.
December 22nd, 2008 at 11:05 am
Jay,
Is that a reservation for two?
December 22nd, 2008 at 11:06 am
Jay - before you sit with them I suggest you tailgate with them first.
December 22nd, 2008 at 11:07 am
Kekoa - sent email
thanks
December 22nd, 2008 at 11:08 am
OFF-SPORTS TOPIC:
Need a referral re car seat belts. We need to replace one of the seat belts now on our 1988 Toyota and the other one very shortly. I called our regular car repair guy, but he doesn't do that kind of work. He told me to call the dealership.
When I checked with Servco, I was quoted $200 - $250 per belt not including labor depending upon the specific size of the car determined by the VIN.
That's really a lot of money to spend on a 20-year-old car. I did a web search and found lots of possibilities there, but then there's the installation issue as well as the shipping costs. Does anyone have any suggestions here for an installer on O`ahu other than the dealership?
BACK TO SPORTS: Again, don't forget tomorrow night's men's basketball game - definitely payback time for last spring's Bracketbuster loss.
Unfortunately, we won't be able to make today's women's game because we have a 4 pm appointment for Saturn with the veterinarian, but we'll be there tomorrow night with our Santa hats on. .
With respect to colors at Wednesday's game - how about black or white if the Irirsh are going to green it up?
As usual, we'll be recycling on Wednesday so if you have extra HI-5 cans & bottles, be sure to bring them along.
December 22nd, 2008 at 11:10 am
I'm interested in what section do the Tsaiko's sit?
December 22nd, 2008 at 11:11 am
WHITE-OUT!!! FOR THE HAWAII BOWL!!!
December 22nd, 2008 at 11:15 am
oops sorry about the double post.
homey - yeah one day I'll get to learn the secret handshake to get into the cabana. lol. hopefully it will be a day you are there as you are one of many Tsaikos I would like to meet in person.
December 22nd, 2008 at 11:15 am
Liz ~ I hope to incorporate some *back-in-da-day-Termite-Palace* cheers.
Hmmm Pride's Karaoke get togetta might spark a cheering practice session. Hehehe!
December 22nd, 2008 at 11:33 am
FANS TO WEAR UH COLORS FOR HAWAII BOWL
Since there was no press release, yet, I e-mailed John McNamara about what UH fans are encouraged to wear and he says:
December 22nd, 2008 at 11:35 am
Jay - No need secret handshake, all are welcome! Me, koakane, and James start early...koakane with his leaf blower cleaning out the cabana, James with his box of goodies, and me warming up the picnic tables. Then comes myki and sjmacro with more boxes of goodies and their squeegee to make sure all the water is removed from the cabana. Next up is usually Ralph with his mini handtruck loaded with more goodies. Ralph is now our official meat partitioner. Just give him the knife.
December 22nd, 2008 at 11:40 am
Don't let homey anywhere near a knife!!!
December 22nd, 2008 at 11:42 am
jm2375 - Not that I want to but I bet I can perform a circumcision procedure better than Tebow.
December 22nd, 2008 at 11:49 am
homey - ewwww. tmi.
December 22nd, 2008 at 11:54 am
I'm interested!!
December 22nd, 2008 at 11:54 am
Liz ~ We need da band to send a drummer and small ensemble to our side to 'echo' the jump song!
December 22nd, 2008 at 11:57 am
Loa ~ Reply sent.
December 22nd, 2008 at 12:28 pm
jojo,
See al for an extra ticket......
December 22nd, 2008 at 12:32 pm
School colors?
Which school?
December 22nd, 2008 at 12:46 pm
D1,
Da green and da white sir!
December 22nd, 2008 at 12:51 pm
Too bad about Sofele...
December 22nd, 2008 at 12:58 pm
I'm NOT air paddling. That's just stupid, really. If the student section is drunk enough to do it, let them.
December 22nd, 2008 at 12:58 pm
I'm NOT air paddling. That's just stupid, really. If the student section is drunk enough to do it, let them.
December 22nd, 2008 at 12:59 pm
shoes2...wait a minute! You interested in Homey's circumsion procedure?!!!
December 22nd, 2008 at 1:05 pm
So wear either white or black.
While ND is blue - because Our Lady traditionally was painted with blue cloak - the Irish traditionally was "the wearing of the green" unless you were from Northern Ireland and that would be orange
December 22nd, 2008 at 1:06 pm
thanks Kekoa
December 22nd, 2008 at 1:11 pm
oxymoron - Ever been to Wahine volleyball games? Many elderly fans enjoy doing the paddling to Hawaii 5-0...could be they are drunk but I think they are just caught up with all the excitement and just having fun. Plus they get a good cardio workout!
BG - You would be the second to last person I would have thought to say that.
December 22nd, 2008 at 1:12 pm
TOM - Wear your high school colors.
December 22nd, 2008 at 1:13 pm
sometimes it's hard to be pure and innocent as me but at least homey's recognizes that I would never have said something like that.
December 22nd, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Aloha to the Tsaiko Ohana!
Wow! It's great to be able to read the blog and post during the day. Usually, it's a battle during lunch and break to get caught up. Had to take a day off because I strained my back yesterday putting up Xmas decorations. Just a manini one but I decided to baby it so as to not aggravate. Hey! It's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!
December 22nd, 2008 at 1:18 pm
Whoa, easy your Holiness, put that lightning bolt away, Stretch was only joking.
December 22nd, 2008 at 1:20 pm
BG - I would laugh but one time I hurt my back putting my seatbelt on. yeah yeah, bring on those "because you were too short to reach the belt that's why you strained your back" comments...
December 22nd, 2008 at 1:22 pm
I bet some of those Notre Dames players peed in their pants after the Ha'a was pau. Wish I was there to see it!
December 22nd, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Notre Dame is coming to play football. Their players want to save their coach's okole. I expect them to play reallly really hard!
But aggression is key. Like today, went to Ching Cooke Field Complex. Took da piccha at centerfield with my favorite Irish Green T shirt.
Now I gotta figure out how to crop the pikcha and send it to Hustler magazine.
Fo sure da pix going rule up da Irish. 
Jimmy D got a good laugh.
Hamocon is doing a super job on the field. still got details to go, but da braddah is going full blast!
December 22nd, 2008 at 1:25 pm
The Ha'a at the banquet must have been a chicken skin moment. For those not in the know, goose bump or chills moment.
December 22nd, 2008 at 1:25 pm
Homey/Stretch
What?!! Surprised? You forget that I'm an ex-senior NCO. Wore a groove around the block and chewed butts for a living...uh, easy on the visual...
December 22nd, 2008 at 1:26 pm
They said Keala Watson was going crazy. He had them all stirred up.
December 22nd, 2008 at 1:27 pm
bobby curran was talkin bout the banquet last night. he said it was pretty lively with the irish chanting "Rain-bows" and our WARRIORS going nuts with the ha'a. he said it was good that there were a few rows of cushion tables between the teams.
December 22nd, 2008 at 1:29 pm
2 more days!
December 22nd, 2008 at 1:29 pm
ST - I can picture Keala's face! That buggah reminds me of Randal "Tex" Cobb.
December 22nd, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Why are we always the visiting team at the Hawaii Bowl. Shouldn't we get to be the home team sometimes?
December 22nd, 2008 at 1:51 pm
Eh, One Paddle Two Paddle...la la la la la....Hope they pass out Thunder Sticks (green or white) so I have a paddle to paddle with....or going look funny. Go Warriors....Haa is just a warm up....make the little green people give up their pot of gold....follow the rainbow Warriors!
December 22nd, 2008 at 2:00 pm
mano1,
Bring your own ti leaf!
December 22nd, 2008 at 2:10 pm
My internal clock is slowly adjusting and I am now falling asleep at Oh-dark thirty in the morning.
Aloha Tsai-Kos! Go Warriors!
See ya'll on Christmas Eve on the shores of Aiea Bay!
December 22nd, 2008 at 2:10 pm
d1 - or use jm987654321's arm, it looks like a flipper, er I mean paddle.
December 22nd, 2008 at 2:13 pm
hooo...I wish I witnessed that ha'a. I all riled up already!
btw, someone gave me some battery powered christmas lights...I get to light up my coconuts! cheeeehuuuu!
December 22nd, 2008 at 2:16 pm
ST: I'm interested
It looks like the boys are are getting metally pump for the game. Hopefully they bring this type of intensity to the game.
December 22nd, 2008 at 2:29 pm
ST
I'm interested.
somebody, help explain to me how to crop my face outta a pikcha I like send to Hustler.
pillow fight pillow fight.
December 22nd, 2008 at 2:33 pm
The game is going to be nutz.... I guess you can say..."Its on like Donkey Kong"....
Some one please have a video clip of the banquet Ha'a....THAT would be cherry.
December 22nd, 2008 at 2:37 pm
bhf2 - do you have a photo/picture editor?
December 22nd, 2008 at 2:58 pm
I would think that the marketing dept at UH would let Warrior fans know which of the 3 colors we should wear. It should at least be coordinated when playing a team like Notre Dame that also holds green as a school color.
Even though Hawaii fans aren't as coordinated as some schools on the mainland, I thought the Cincy game with the half green/white looked awesome. Shows what can happen when UH gets the word out.
December 22nd, 2008 at 3:31 pm
J-Dog,
Maybe erryboddy can trade shirts and reverse 'em!
December 22nd, 2008 at 3:35 pm
homey
maybe. is that what it says on the screen, photo/picture editor?
December 22nd, 2008 at 3:41 pm
bhf2 - if you have microsoft office picture manager you should be able to edit/crop pictures. If not then I can send you a picture of me that you can send to Hustler.
First of all, do you have Microsoft Office?

Buti groove, of the infamous "Huck the Fuskies" and "Buck Foise" shirts, is selling a "Notre Lame" shirt. I'll stick to my good luck black "vintage" (the more puka's get, the more vintage it is) Warriors shirt. I wonder if Notre Dame has asked their fans to wear anything in particular? Do we know what jersey color the Irish and Warriors will be wearing?
December 22nd, 2008 at 3:42 pm
Jon:
The rule is the home team has to sit across from the announcer's box. Because the sun burns brightly on that side, UH — wink, wink — agreed to be the visitors.

d1島: Haha! I guess I'm too lazy to type.
December 22nd, 2008 at 3:42 pm
Thanks duffer, I'll call him.
December 22nd, 2008 at 3:43 pm
bhf2 - or you can download free picture editors such as Picasa. Just google the name and you will see.
December 22nd, 2008 at 3:43 pm
I wonder who will lead the ha'a next season.
December 22nd, 2008 at 3:46 pm
KA TOA!!!!!
December 22nd, 2008 at 3:49 pm
My vote is for Kazz!
OK...a collective finger cross, please. They are re-boarding the plane now in PDX (after 32 hours of waiting at the airport)
I would guess that Flt 39 to Kahului is doing the same...
December 22nd, 2008 at 3:51 pm
I nominate Brett Symonds.
He can be brought out to the field like Tommy Davidson's character was in Ace Ventura 2. Symonds can be brought out to the field in a backpack-type thing that is attached to Aaron Kia.
December 22nd, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Seriously speaking tho... the tradition of the ha'a seems to be changed from year to year, but I'd like to see Aaron Kia lead the way in 2009.
December 22nd, 2008 at 3:53 pm
808flowmaster ~ I would imagine the Warriors will come out in their dark foreboding Green and make Notre Lame turn Kelly green with envy.
No matter, Notre Lame going be black 'n blue aftah da game anywayz!
December 22nd, 2008 at 4:01 pm
D-1 ~ Call the evil twins and let them 'aim' their Mojo Magic hand signals toward the friendly skies of America.
Too bad he nevah know was goin' be big delay. Could have sold Li Hing Mui packets, or crackseed to the other strandees. Then open the rolling cooler full of beverages to quench that thrist.
Plus, what would you pay for 2 hrs on an air mattress and a bed roll.
December 22nd, 2008 at 4:04 pm
Dang! Power is finally back on. Yahooooo!
No one has any video of the banquet Ha'a and the Irish Rainbow chant?
Maybe they were chanting for the pot 'o gold at the end of the rainbow. Too bad the Warriors will karang their 'alas!
December 22nd, 2008 at 4:06 pm
d1 . . .
Did he get off the ground?
Aside of a huge plate lunch, or Mom's home cooking, one of the first things #2 will want is a nice hot shower and a bed.
Hoping for a safe flight!
December 22nd, 2008 at 4:21 pm
Kekoa/wafan,
He called about an hour ago to say they'd be boarding soon. I'm hoping that silence is golden and that they are, or will soon be airborne. Checking the HA flight tracker and no change in status yet....
December 22nd, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Any word on the ticket sales yet?? I hope the game gets sold out.
December 22nd, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Hmmmm, Kekoa and Stretch.
Is there a movie like that? Oh, wait. That was Lilo and Stitch.
December 22nd, 2008 at 4:25 pm
There no other place...

December 22nd, 2008 at 4:41 pm
oxymoron,
No lose focus. You worrying about too much periphery stuff; jus' show up and yell your a$$ off!
December 22nd, 2008 at 4:47 pm
forgive me for going off topic a little, but the only thing more lame than "notre lame" is Angel Teves' version of "Have yourself a merry little Christmas", which KSSK plays now and again. Now THAT is brutal!
December 22nd, 2008 at 5:16 pm
RE: Notre Lame Shirt
Ummm.. I'd rather buy a green "BEAT NOTRE DAME" shirt.
December 22nd, 2008 at 5:25 pm
41,700 tickets sold.
December 22nd, 2008 at 5:25 pm
Wow, da mall was nutz. Traffic was even mo nutz. So I go to the mall to finish my christmas shopping and I walk into Champs Sports just to "look". I see they have a big stack of college hoodies on sale. I look at the stack and see 3 different Boise hoodies. I think to myself that sucks. I look on the other side and lo and behold UH hoodies in 3 different colors. So of course, I had to go over my spending budget because I need to buy one for myself. I wanted a green one, but neva have the right size. So I got a black one. It's a pretty nice hoodie. And it's warm. I guess I got something new to wear on Christmas eve during the game.
December 22nd, 2008 at 5:29 pm
a hoodie in hawaii
December 22nd, 2008 at 5:32 pm

Hi guys, I know I've been MIA lately, just really busy during recruiting season.
Kekoa, just wanted to say thanks again for the Office Max card. We put it to great use, things we desperately needed plus purchasing 100's of DVD-R's for duplicating video for many of the local kids who could not afford duplicating their DVD for the AFCA conference. Most of these athletes are the D1AA, D2 , D3, NAIA and JC players, whose video will be distributed to colleges who generally do not have the funding to come to Hawaii and recruit. So know that your $$ were well spent and put to good use!
Thanks again to all the tsaikotic tsaiko's who helped out this summer with their generous donations.
Have a Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanza, Happy Haukkah and a safe New Years!
Doris
December 22nd, 2008 at 8:02 pm

Mahalo ST, Stretch, and D1.
I am looking forward to the game on Christmas Eve. We will be ready for a battle.
ST I left you a message on your phone with my number.
December 22nd, 2008 at 8:48 pm
Yep. I got it.
I called you, but you were in the shower.
I didn't know your real name, so I was asking for, uh, Mr. Krab.
December 22nd, 2008 at 8:54 pm
I'm hoping my bro-in-law and oldest niece might be able to join us on Wednesday. That would be nice.

A few weeks ago there was a question and brief discussion of the Flip MinioHD pocket size video camera. While I do not think it is suitable/capable of shooting sports (which was the question), a more thorough 3rd party operational review is available at:

The model I was referring to last month was the "regular" Flip at approximately $130-150. The Flip MinioHD model reviewed is over $200.

WHO IS YOUR ROLE MODEL???
Try it without looking at answers
1) Pick your Favorite number between 1-9
2) Multiply by 3 then
3) Add 3, then again Multiply by 3 (I'll wait while you get
the calculator....)
4) You'll get a 2 or 3 digit number|.
5) Add the digits together
Now look at the next post
December 22nd, 2008 at 9:55 pm
Now with that number see who your ROLE MODEL
is from the list below :
1. SteveM
2. Frank Fasi
5. Princess Leah
6. AL
7. DPK
8. S.Tsai
9. Mr.Las Vegas!
10. Barack Obama
I know....I just have that effect on people....

Mele Kalikimaka Doris Sullivan!
More parents are recognizing the work that you do. Thank God there are people like you who dedicate the better part of their life to working to help young people reach for the stars.
Without your help paving the way thru all of the obstacles in making it to the next level, they would waste time and money for naught.
Count on my continued support for your association. It's an honor and a privlidge to help you. It's amazing to see the results on the field and in the class room.
Malama Pono,
Kekoa
December 22nd, 2008 at 11:44 pm
It'll be ok big mac, they'll be fine. It's just a little piss water, and that's no biggee!
The motivation will be the ND lame attempt at humiliating them with the "Rainbow" rant-chant. This is why I personally wish we could bury that word once and for all.
However, common sense says it will be around forever. It belongs to other sporting teams of the university, therefore we are stuck with it. We have to let the Warriors deal with it as a motivating factor in their world of physical violence. And pound puppies anytime it's used against us.
Those who wish to taunt us with it should be made to pay!...and pay dearly!
December 22nd, 2008 at 11:50 pm
Hiya!
More cookies baked... time to go moemoe.
Hope #2 d1shima son is on the way home.
Annodah interesting airplane story.
I woke up late this morning (dreaming of Tsai-ko section cheer practice) to the sound of my phone. I was supposed to pick my boss up a half an hour from that moment... BUT his plane was late.
They were waiting for the pilot.
????
So I got there on time after all.
Nitey nite and sweet Warrior (cheer) Dreams!

On Sunday, January 11, from 5 pm to 7 pm, once again DrDoc and I are in charge of providing fun & fuud at Nu`uanu Congregational Church for the Family Promise Program on the Pali Highway about two blocks after the Wyllie Street overpass.
Tsai-kos are invited to attend and to take part in the activities - games for children & youth, crafts, and talk story time - as well as stay for dinner.
NOTE: We'll be inside this time around - probably in the gymnasium.
Games & other activities start at 5 pm & dinner will be served at 6 pm. The menu is Portuguese Bean Soup, Kitchen Sink Salad, cornbread, and a dessert yet to be determined.
If you're not familiar with it, the Family Promise Program is a boots-on-the-ground homeless services program. A wide range of faith-based organizations across the religious spectrum provide food and shelter for up to 14 adults & children for one week at a time four times a year. Other churches & temples step in to prepare the evening meals.
The Program provides homeless families with transitional shelter, training & employment services, transportation, childcare, and, over time, helps each family secure safe, affordable long-term housing with security deposits and furniture & household goods if needed.
Finding affordable housing is a real challenge here in Hawai`i. On the continent, the average Family Promise client is in the program for about six weeks; here in Hawai`i, many families stay in the program for as long as six months.
Currently,there is one network in Windward O`ahu and another in urban Honolulu. More than 60 faith-based groups are involved here on O`ahu.
If you would like to attend, please send an e-mail to swood at hokudotcom. There is no charge except for a couple of hours of your time.
December 23rd, 2008 at 12:02 am
Hi Kekoa, Hi jm2375!

Got back a little while ago with #2 son!
34 hours at PDX!
He says his wasn't the worst story; another student was at the airport since FRIDAY!
There was actually more than a dozen of them there. They had a good time actually.
Ahhh...the resilience of youth!
Anyway, thanks for all the well wishes!
Congrats Kama Krab! See you on Wednesday!
Btw, the real generous one is Stretch....
Lo-o-o-o-ng day!

very glad that numero dos finally got home safely.
ahh. so what will mama be cooking for his first meal back home???
December 23rd, 2008 at 12:30 am
gee. i was wondering. but, now i am wondering if mr. tsai is about or not?
so which uniform will the team be wearing since we are the visiting team?
white jerseys and green pants?
white jerseys and black pants would look tough. that combo would recruit a player or two by itself.
and finally, are we done recruiting now? or do we just hold okole until feb 4th? or are we really saving a scholie or two for some bigtime recruit who may just fall our way?
December 23rd, 2008 at 12:33 am

hey, i made #200. did i win tickets????
December 23rd, 2008 at 12:46 am
Aloha, Tsaiko Ohana!!
I've been catching up on the blog because I've been under the weather for the last few days and haven't been lurking as usual.
Looking forward to the game against Notre Dame. A real opportunity to make a statement about our program to a national audience.
It has been interesting reading the comments on some of the other blogs I regularly review. Notre Dame fans are really not supporting their team. The contrast between the ohana feeling surrounding Coach Mack and the Warriors and what the Notre Dame team and coaches are experiencing is amazing.
With fans like Notre Dame's, who needs enemies?? To see what I mean, visit the South Bend Tribune Dec. 21 story on Notre Dame's quarterback and read some of the comments the ND fans are making about their coach and the starting quarterback, Jimmy Clausen
For example, the first comment says that it is "definitely time for the prima donna egomaniac quarterback to step up. Whether his less than stellar performance is due to Charlie Weis' play calling or his own inability to read defenses, it is time for the much heralded quarterback to put up or shut up. And while he is at it he needs to be focused and committed and less casual and indifferent. Notre Dame endured a lot of grief recruiting him because most experts thought he was overrated and overhyped...now it is time to prove them wrong and an attitude change certainly wont hurt either"
Go Warriors!!
December 23rd, 2008 at 1:14 am
off topic anyone seen the cal state university at los angeles campus, any idea what the community and surrounding area is like?...daughter graduated from UH west oahu on friday and now its time to apply for graduate school......she was born the same year our beloved robert Kekaula started UH in 1987 but she graduated one day before him from college.LOL..
December 23rd, 2008 at 2:18 am
all quiet before the storm.....one more day before we take on ND and its all quiet in tsaikoland...not even Esme and JM2375 are with us (I'm sure there are lurkers out there)...so much pent up energies ready to explode-just need bighilo to give us the word from Waikiki to hoot and holler..
December 23rd, 2008 at 4:11 am

Good morning Tsaikos. Good to hear that both teams will be up for the game, so no excuses.
know the mainland gang is freezing their butts, but tomorrow they get some relief by watching the Warriors beat ND.
December 23rd, 2008 at 6:31 am
Good Morning Tsaiko's!
Once my BHF2 alarm went off, I couldn't go back sleep, so may as well stay up, have some coffee, and read da pepa. Checked to see who and who got arrested. Surprisingly, there was no mention of BHF2 being implicated with any assaults, DUI, or Leprechuan abuse.
Looking forward to hearing my bradda "matriculating his melodius voice" as he claims he is able to do. It could very well sound like that if Pride is on the mic with him.
December 23rd, 2008 at 6:38 am
Good morning all!

Great Morning All!
Not enuf sleep after a long day of watching flight schedules and PNW weather reports but gotta get back to work this morning.
It's the last walk-thru for the Seniors today then one last night together with their brothers. Like Bulla always says, "Make memories."
Tomorrow, they get to make some truly life-long memories and go out on a huge high - a "W" over the most storied program in CFB.
GO WARRIORS!
December 23rd, 2008 at 6:46 am
D-1 ~ Any plans for going to breakfast with nummer Zwo Kinder bis morgen?
Sizzler's in Waipahu serves a pretty mean all-you-can-Re-Tsaiko breakfast in case dat boy has 32 of 34 hours of eating to catch-up on. I figger it took him about 2 hours to grind at Zippy's in Waipio last night. Hehehe...I know he and bradda can consume!
December 23rd, 2008 at 6:49 am
wafan,
Howzit.
Thanks again for the suggestions and offers of assistance.
I guess you guys get a little break today before another storm comes rolling in.
I heard a report that they'll be working thru Xmas to get the backlogged passengers outta SEA-TAC. Hope things clear up before you hit the skies.
December 23rd, 2008 at 6:55 am
Kekoa,
Mrs. d1島 was finishing up a spread that would make "Tell Ma" jealous when we got back so #2 was well-fed last night.
He's still crashed and I expect he'll be that way for awhile still.
I normally don't bother with the lei greeting when they come back from school but I figured last night might be a good time to break from "tradition" since I was greeting him after 40 hours of travel!
The lady at the lei stand asked me if I was looking for something that would last a long time or something that smelled good...I opted for lots of smell good!
December 23rd, 2008 at 6:56 am
Have a great Christmas Eve-eve erryboddy!
HiHo....
December 23rd, 2008 at 7:00 am
d1 . . .
No problem. I was worried #2 was stuck at PDX. Nothing worse than being completely alone with a bunch of strangers. At least he was warm!
The weather will moderate starting today with the high's getting up to the mid-30's. Still, though, at night things will freeze solid well below 30. I figured it would be safer to drive up to SEA tomorrow afternoon, stay at a motel, and catch my flight out on Christmas Day. I can take my time driving up on the long and winding ice-rink called I-5.
Reports from SEA indicate the backlog from the cancelled Alaska and Horizon flights is dwindling. As long as they keep flying I should be okay. Makes for full planes and long lines, though. Hopefully, people will be in a good mood because it is Christmas Day.
dj leaves SEA on the 30th. The weather should be back to normal by then -- I hope! And, the remaining ice and compact snow should be all gone.
December 23rd, 2008 at 7:02 am
Pride,
WDoc,
SteveM,
you got mail.
da Hustla view. 
December 23rd, 2008 at 7:06 am
One habit that stuck with me from Mom is to always travel with handi-wipes. Good to clean hands and face. And, when stuck at the airport can at least clean up a little bit. So there is no need for a florally odiferous lei to mask any maloderous smells.
On the other hand, if I were a proud parent I would probably done the same thing.
December 23rd, 2008 at 7:12 am
Walk thru for the Warriors today is going to be a time for reflection for all the seniors. For most, it will be the very last time they ever strap on the pads. For the few who will go to the next level, it'll be their time to prepare themselves to move on to the big show.
The Warriors will have a huge opportunity to showcase their true talent on a National stage. With the advent of global commuincations, our local members of the Armed Forces around the world will also be tuning in.
So guys, remember that you are representing the entire State of Hawaii, and the proud Hawaiian Warriors stationed around the globe helping you to Protect Da Hale!
Give them all good reason to celebrate and be Proud...be...
"Haa'heo O Hawa'ii!"
Beat Notre Dame!...Beat Notre Dame!...Beat Notre Dam!
GO WARRIORS!
December 23rd, 2008 at 7:17 am
Good morning, Tsaiko-Nation and Tsai-Meister.
Wishing you all a very happy, healthy and peaceful Christmas.
Getting ready to drive up to Jacksonville to spend Christmas this year with daughter and grandkids.
All I want for Christmas is a Warrior win. See you when I get back. Try to lurk at my daughters house. Aloha.
I'm glad that our Tsaiko travelers made it through unscathed sofar, let's keep it that way.

Good morning Tsaikos...another great day in Hawaii Nei....
Have to esme today....yet again.
Wanted to see if anyone had any tickets for the Hawaii Bowl they want to sell. I think my niece is looking for a couple of tickets. Not sure is she needs more than two but I'll call her to find out when she gets up...
If anyone has tickets they want to sell, let me know at jgo8464822@aol.com or you can try me on the blog but I'll only check that periodically....
Thanks....

It's Happy birthday for mrs Momo today so wishing her many more of the same so she can keep taking care of me....Will bring a cake to the t gate and we can all sing her happy birthday.
Went to Maui for a day and boy did it cost me a penny to rent a casr---93 bucks for a day. Lesson learn is that don't rent during the Holidays.
Go Bows...

wafan - check da websites for prices. Neva know what it's gonna be like during da summer. I think the longer the trip, the more it favors using the ferry. SuperFerry much less hassle but takes longer. Comfort of using your own car, can take more stuff, Ferry more comfy than plane.

Does it seem like it's been a year since I came by your house to pick up my Sugar Bowl Tickets? Shortly after that we were in the Supah Dome cheering for our Warriors.
Like birhdays, time marches on for all events. Have a great celebration of your special day and I will see you at the t-gate! Mmmm cake!

Good morning, Tsaikos!
Long time lurker...first time posting...
Does anyone know if there is a white out for the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl? My friend's son told her there is a white out...not sure where he got his info from.
Thank you! Have a very Merry Christmas, everyone and...
GO WARRIORS!!

Welcome Go Warriors!
Not sure about the white out. I think it was Kazz who posted that he heard from one of the Assoc AD's that the de rigueur is "school colors"
December 23rd, 2008 at 10:11 am
Good Morning Tsaiko Ohana!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Mrs Momo (the chicken hekka lady)!!!
December 23rd, 2008 at 10:14 am
Wot! A national TV audience and UH not taking advantage of putting on the ritz? Big fumble by UH marketing on this game! Should be blackout since that's what the Warriors will do to ND.
December 23rd, 2008 at 10:15 am
Howzit 'Go Warriors!' Going be fun for you to answer to that blog handle. Every time someone says 'Go Warriors' you going flinch!
Regarding your fashion ensemble for the Hawaii Bowl. Take everything Kazz sez with a grain of Hawaiian salt. Kazz tends to get very excited about his Warriors.
So Go Warriors if he sed "wear white" - jez take green kalah crayon in case you gotta change 'um.
Go Warriors

Notre Dame did their homework because they did the same thing Cincinnati did to win their game by blitzing a quarterback who doesn't know when a blitz is coming. If two defensive players are blitzing that means two recievers are open and all they have to do is run a short route or pattern since they are both open. The coach also should give a harsher punishment for players who do "dumb penalties" especially when the penalty kills a drive. You don't see these kinds penalties on BCS teams which means they are more disciplined and afraid of their coach to do such penalties. There's a big difference between respect and afraid of their coach. Just a suggestion for next year.
