Iceman gets futbol opportunity
January 31st, 2009
By Stephen Tsai
By Stephen Tsai
Former UH placekicker Dan "Iceman" Kelly has tryouts planned with Chivas USA and the L.A. Galaxy of Major League Soccer.
Kelly was a decorated goalie until deciding to pursue a football career.
For now, he is putting his football aspirations on hold to focus on soccer. He also coaches a youth team.
Even at UH, Kelly kept busy during the football offseason by playing soccer.

Good morning Tsaikos.
January 31st, 2009 at 5:51 am
Best of luck to Dan Kelly with his soccer dream!
January 31st, 2009 at 5:58 am
Pomai,
You asked about salaries in the MLS, so I found this link that gives all of their salaries. If you look at the goalies, the starting goalie for Chivas makes $80k (and will be basically impossible for Kelly to beat out right away) and the two backup goalies make $17.9 and $12.9k.
January 31st, 2009 at 5:59 am
Oops, I think that was the salaries for Chicago. If CHV is Chivas then the goalies make $104k, $33k, and $12.9k.
January 31st, 2009 at 6:00 am
Another goalie made $50k. Anyway, this gives an idea of the range of salaries.
January 31st, 2009 at 6:07 am
Good Morning Tsaikos!!
I hope that the Iceman is successful in whatever he chooses.

Good win for MVB last night. I passed out shortly after the second set so it was a nice surprise to read about the upset "W" today.
January 31st, 2009 at 6:40 am
Hope MBB can keep the roll going today.
HiHo....
January 31st, 2009 at 6:46 am
One last thing...
shout out to SLS BB for big OT win over Iolani last night!
Most interesting lin in the article, "Kela Marciel was on a recruiting trip to Weber State in Ogden, UT."
The pipeline is flowing!
January 31st, 2009 at 6:47 am
A fine morning to all!
January 31st, 2009 at 6:49 am
Wow!!! A win for each of the UHM teams. That is a good first step!
Now how about a winning streak of 19 straight as a start.
January 31st, 2009 at 7:31 am
Al,
Good luck on the Goteborg-bacon concoction. If you are confronted
with any problems like dryness, taste, etc.,let me know.
Helpful hints:
Best BBQ sauce on store shelf: Bull's eye (Texas-style)
Best BBQ rub on store shelf: none. All store bought rubs
are 60%-70% salt. Make your own. (bacon already salty)

Top of the morning Tsaiko Villagers!
Good to hear that The Ice Man will still be kickin' a$$!
Was going to say something about the HA Union settlement, but didn't want to end up being a person of interest again.
Shoutout to Stretch since he's hangin' with us old futs, it's the only way we can communicate with each other.
D-1 ~ Has the 'Complex' considered turning that cane field across the street into a demolition derby track! Get plenny cars fo use!
Homey ~ Are you making your preparations early for fight nite?
Koakane ~ What the scoops for the bb king?
BG ~ No "Jubilee" on Saturday. Expect a foot and wall locker with a full field layout on Palm Circle @ 0900. Hehehe!
wafan ~ Weather report from the former Olympia Biru Brewery please sir. If the slogan is still "It's the Water" is there a lot of flood crud in the Nisqually river from the last heavy storm?
January 31st, 2009 at 7:38 am
FYI, IceMom really enjoyed son's live chat here...

Howzit 808ike!
Are you going to attend the grand gathering at Krazy Karaoke next Sat?
Can't wait to sample another of your culinary creations!
January 31st, 2009 at 7:43 am
BJ Penn...Hawaiian Pride!!!
January 31st, 2009 at 7:53 am
Kekoa,
Will have to pass on this one. Maybe the next one. In Tsaikoland,
there are may excellent cooks (chefs). T-gate is proof of that. Can
retire from cooking pretty soon.
January 31st, 2009 at 7:56 am
Kekoa,
Thanks for the update on Queen Diana.
January 31st, 2009 at 8:27 am
808ike...retire?! Nix...Nein..Frankenstein! Once a Tsaiko ALWAYS a Tsaiko Chef!
It's in the fine print of the T-gate Rule book. Our Tsaiko legal staff will never allow frivolous law suits anyway.
Can you imagine having to argue your case with Big Hilo Fan! 'nuff sed!
January 31st, 2009 at 8:29 am
morning
to all the tsai-ko's in the hawaiian isles and the hawaiian at heart. looking good so far with the sun peeking out from some scattered clouds.
special howzit to all the early uppers sipping their kope, reading the paper and just cruzing. no disrespect to pb but go black and gold
and wishing bj good luck tonight.
kekoa had nice talk over phone with diana while you and pops was out. she sounded in good spirits
hope it was not the meds that was kicking in.
nothing special to report just busy with small stuff like supa bowl and checking HPU bball.
hey 808ike you must be practicing your posting a lot...good work.
January 31st, 2009 at 8:41 am
Good Morning Tsaikos!!
Nice to see you again Pauoa Boy...was wondering why we hadn't seen you in a while.
No interest in fight but good luck to BJ Penn! Gotta have that local pride.
Beware of people eating weird animal parts this weekend. Lots of food being prepared for the big fight and game!
January 31st, 2009 at 8:48 am

I get left ovah Na'au Pua'a fo you girl!...and some onolicious Squid Luau!
January 31st, 2009 at 8:53 am
Koakane,
Have a little free time.
Good luck to BJ Penn.
January 31st, 2009 at 8:56 am
IT COMES IN 3's!!!
AWESOME volleyball match last night! The game started out "slow" but it felt like "old" times at mens volleyball during set 4 and 5 again at the Stanley!!!
Again, the pep band MAKES a HUGE difference.
But a NEW streak has started with THREE wins... Sometimes it just takes ANY kind of win to get it started. First with the Bows at LaTech, then the Wahine BBall Bows at Utah State, then the Warriors at home.
LET'S KEEP IT GOING!!!!
January 31st, 2009 at 9:00 am
Finally, Friday was a great day in UH sports.
January 31st, 2009 at 9:04 am
Howzit Kekoa! How's the Queen's requovery proceeding?
Na'au Pua'a for breakfast?! Good heavens my dear man, that takes me all the way back to a post-pig hunting repast in Na'alehu with my kanaka cusins, circa 1970's.

boss' bbq sauce is mo betta.
i am not attempting that sausage roll. just plain goteborg sausage. i think i am begiining to recall my father preparing the aforementioned the more i think of it after all goteborg sausage musubi is a kauai original i am told.
January 31st, 2009 at 9:10 am
GEEEEEV 'EM BJ!!!!
Eh, all you mokes out dere, BEHAVE and share your Steinlager and akule poke.

roysan16.....
how was your steak dinner?
so, yesterday after a rare movie we went to costco for our weekly reload. the day's special were some us prime spencer's. at 8.99 lb it was yelling out to me, "eat me! eat me!".
some how a tray lands in my cart. needless to say, was cooked to perfection by the "iron chef hibachi" aka #1 son. was soooo ono and melt in the mouth. seasoned with some ws sauce, hawn salt, garlic powder, and fresh cracked peppers. served with saute' sweet onions.
January 31st, 2009 at 9:17 am
"cousins" I meant...
January 31st, 2009 at 9:19 am
IMUA BJ PENN!!! HIKI NO!!!
January 31st, 2009 at 9:28 am
Al,
Tried boss'. OK. Prefer BBQ sauces that taste like one of the 4
regional sauces. Texas-style, Kansas City-style, Memphis-style
or North Carolina-style. Of course, homemade rubs and sauces
are like UH sports, #1.
January 31st, 2009 at 9:28 am
al - You should have invited me! Now that sounds like a deeelicious meal!
Sorry Kekoa!
You know that I gotta pass on your offering!
January 31st, 2009 at 9:31 am
Is it me or this blog in the future? I wish I had this kind of foresight in Vegas!
January 31st, 2009 at 9:37 am
good luck to bj today...
January 31st, 2009 at 9:39 am
Howzit Kazz-
'bout your C&K question: I used to work at KGMB. Back in '98 KGMB filmed a C&K special in their studio. Producers asked the staff to invite friends & family to be in the studio audience. Me & 'sports volunteered.
Apparently from that shoot, C&K clipped a portion and stuck it into their Anniversary vid that plays on OC16. Just so happen that little clip get me and 'Sports in 'um.
Two weeks ago Kekaula saw the vid and made a comment to ST he saw "addahknowjoe" (on his 108-inch LCD flat screen HD Hi-Def with Bose Lifestyle 48 Home Entertainment System) tearing up while listening to C&K.
I told ST, "NO WAY! That was all done with CG!"
January 31st, 2009 at 9:46 am
808ike....
i mean the boss' bbq sauce. when did you try it?
January 31st, 2009 at 9:47 am
A-Joe,
dey u go!
January 31st, 2009 at 10:17 am
Eh Hawaiian, you easy fo' spot because hard to find da ruggedly handsome kanaka maoli ke'ia manawa...
January 31st, 2009 at 10:19 am
And I stay tearin' up just tinkin about you tearin' up! Oh soooo sensitive no ho'i!
January 31st, 2009 at 10:22 am
Whoa, Mrs A-House was on a roll last night watching the VB match and hexing/voodoing CSNU servers with her hands shaking saying "into the net" before the serve. It worked 15 out of 18 times during the second half of the 3rd , 4th, and 5th games.
Well, it may have been totally coincidental, but what the hay, we were having fun.
January 31st, 2009 at 10:23 am
WOW a-joe...all this time I have been in the company of a star! Who da thunk it?
Now CFK get some competition!
January 31st, 2009 at 10:26 am
Hope all the recruiting visits go well for Coach Mack this weekend.
I wish Jim D could have invited fans to help with the lower campus cleanup this morning - we were ready to go with all our tools and clothing (long pants and shirt, hat, gloves, water bottles, etc. and willing to sign a waiver releasing UH from any liability for injury sustained.
January 31st, 2009 at 10:31 am
Good morning Tsai-kos!!
Happy Saturday to you all.
Good luck to da Iceman.
Pomai - the big bucks in futbol are overseas, probably in Europe.
January 31st, 2009 at 10:33 am
Rob25- Hands down CFK moa handsome.
DPK- no can help. The cameraman tried to pull back and pan but his lens wasn't wide enuff. he finally had to turn off his camera, walk 12 feet and reset.
January 31st, 2009 at 10:37 am
A-House,
It must be all in da family because Midori was working her voodoo at the Stanley last night as well.
I just sat at the edge of my seat screaming but trying not to blurt out expletives.
January 31st, 2009 at 10:44 am
The Twins are the Voodoo queens.
You don't want those ~wiggly~ fingers pointed at you.

Kekoa...
Idaho...do I have to mention it again?
I think that I have a problem with eating meats that aren't fully cooked. :rolls:
I was very happy to hear of the MBB, WBB, and MVB wins recently. I forgot about watching MVB last night because I had to setup new laptop since the kids killed the last one. What do you know on my way to look for one...some guy in a truck is stalking me when I leave work...hahaha.
Thanks Stretch!!
A-joe you need to show them your moves!! That puts you ahead of CFK!!
January 31st, 2009 at 12:05 pm
watching the college all star challenge now on espn. recalling last year as we saw colt trash all the other competition yet get left behind later in the draft.
stupid media and the anti-run and shoot bias. look how many people loved all the passing QBs and systems this year. fools.
January 31st, 2009 at 12:09 pm
Good afternoon, Tsaiko-Nation and Tsai-Meister.
Glad to hear Kelly is persuing soccer. His last year probably ruined his chances at the NFL, too bad.
The pay in the US Soccer leagues is quite miniscule, compared to almost anywhere else in the world. Most players play for the love of the game here and the small chance to play in Europe.
Overall their payroll structure goes about 80 % to the top 20 % of players, the socalled stars, the balance is divided among the rest. In the Bundes Liga, for example, even the lowest paid players get about 4-500,000 $, playing year 'round.
There is a lot of talent in the US, but until the mainstream will accept soccer as a major sport, not much will change.
The US National team is actually quite good, but what they're always lacking is creativity in "the box" and pure strikers. Defensively they can play with most teams.
A great showing in the next world cup might help matters, but a quick knock out again and what little inroads have been made will quickly evaporate.
January 31st, 2009 at 12:11 pm
You go c_c!!
Thanks for the link to the fight...
Check you guys out later! :-h
January 31st, 2009 at 12:15 pm
Hopefully Hawaii sports has turned the corner, those three wins were a great booster shot in the arm.
Let's keep going with this trend, please?
January 31st, 2009 at 12:24 pm
I hope B.J.Penn wins his fight, just because he's local, but it's not really my cup of tea. It's a little too primal for me, makes me feel that I'm in a 2000 year time warp, back in the Roman Colosseum.
Even though we've been to the moon and back a few times, we haven't changed all that much. We still love our arenas and plenty of the old instincts are still hanging around our DNA, lol.
January 31st, 2009 at 12:33 pm
Hey, everybody ran away? I took a shower this morning.
January 31st, 2009 at 12:38 pm
Are you gonna watch the fight tonight, Ted?
January 31st, 2009 at 12:41 pm
Hi, DPK,
I would watch it for free ( I have some old DNA too, lol) and only because it's BJ, but I only pay for Warrior games.
January 31st, 2009 at 12:53 pm
Well, since the WB is apparently hibernating a little, I might as well go Super Bowl shopping.
My wife is making Kalua Pig. She found a receipe awile back that tastes almost like the real thing. She's sending me out to fill her list, it's too cold for her (46 F).
We're having a cold snap right now, but the Minnesota, Michigan and Canadien people are still running around in shorts and T-shirts, while I look like I'm going skiing.
January 31st, 2009 at 1:05 pm
A-Joe:
"I know everything I have to know about you ..."
January 31st, 2009 at 1:08 pm
I think it's kind of amusing that the band, no matter what, keeps chanting "Let's Go Bows!"
Same with the fans.
It's like the nickname that wouldn't die.
Trivia question: Joe Strotman, last night's semi-hero, is dating the daughter of which former UH great?
January 31st, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Tsai-Meister,
What counts as a click on the WB blog? If I refresh the page, is that counted as a click?
January 31st, 2009 at 1:23 pm
The "Bows" nick name will not die, as long as there are those various Rainbow parts remaining with some of our sports teams. It needs to be streamlined and then maybe in 10 years....
January 31st, 2009 at 1:24 pm
O.k. then, see ya laterz.
January 31st, 2009 at 2:02 pm
FloridaTed,
The big thing for revenue is unique visitors...so, refreshing will not boost that number. The clicks or hits are nice for stats, but advertisers know how to look at unique visitors and other measures (things like how long someone spends on a website).
January 31st, 2009 at 2:05 pm
#80 Trivia Question.
A: Gerald Ako, Ambree's dad.
My guess.
January 31st, 2009 at 2:06 pm
It is amazing that *one* high school in Florida could have more D-IA football prospects than the *entire* state of Wisconsin!
January 31st, 2009 at 2:08 pm
Some Wisconsin fans aren't too happy with how Wisconsin has been recruiting so many players from Florida...but it sounds like they pretty much have to go out of state for players.
January 31st, 2009 at 3:09 pm
Slow day.
January 31st, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Kekoa . . .
re: Nisqually
No major flooding of residential areas this year -- yet. We are about halfway through Winter. As you recall, Spring is usually the worst time for floods along the rivers and flats.
Hoping your boss is feeling a lot better today!
January 31st, 2009 at 3:20 pm
Looks like everybody is out Super Bowl Party shopping. Just got back myself.
It almost has the feel of a National Holiday. In contrast to the World Cup, where everything happens on the streets and in Bars, the Superbowl seems to be more of a family and friends type of affair. I like that a lot better, actually.
Garret,
Thanks for the info. Is there anything you don't know? Lol. So, refreshing wouldn't do anything.
January 31st, 2009 at 3:27 pm
In the Publix Supermarket I go to, the cash registers looked like the Wagon Trains starting line, just just before the Land Rush west.
Most shopping carts piled a yard high.
January 31st, 2009 at 3:33 pm
In principal, since the Warriors are not playing in the Super Bowl, I'm rooting for Arizona, simply because I'm always for the underdog.
Considering that 75 % of the planets population is in the underdog category, makes this an easy choice. Other than that, I've no feelings for either Pittsburg or Phoenix, but I do hope for a great game.
January 31st, 2009 at 3:36 pm
GTood afternoon Tsaikos everywhere.
whitey,
looking forward to a dinner, etc. wuz on da darkest side of hilo last nite. wuz interrupted right in da middle ah da ino by kekoa.
AHouse,
great idea you posted above. Hope Jim Donovan reads that post and makes the relesases for more cleanups on lower campus, pruning, painting, etc. gimme one gnerator and one sprayer and i'm right there!
jfbi,
nhowzit bradda. hope dat sparkplugs of former Keaukaha Warrior fame keep it up at thed college level. da Manoe and Napeahi familyh are sooo happy da braddaz are representing.
and you right about dat, keaukaha fo life!1
January 31st, 2009 at 3:36 pm
Tampa is going a little nuts right now, with Parties in every bar. People are renting their houses for the week for up to $20,000.-. Nice to know there are still people who actually can afford that.
January 31st, 2009 at 3:38 pm
i also get da feeling that Jeordan gonna be a super player. i would if i wuz given a second chance at life and I had his talent. let him make himself proud, and show us who he is and who he is growing up to become. Go Hanohano!
Go Warriors!
January 31st, 2009 at 3:39 pm
Hi, bhf2,
Finally get some help to push this thing over 100.
January 31st, 2009 at 3:42 pm
I hope for all the local boys to become big corner stones for our program. This would help a lot with future recruiting. To be highly respected in your own community should always be a big plus.
January 31st, 2009 at 3:45 pm
Hit and run? Now I'm lonely again.
January 31st, 2009 at 3:45 pm
This is spooky. Is this thing on?
January 31st, 2009 at 3:47 pm
Howzit bhf2 and FT!
Talked to someone from Phoenix the other day. He just got season tix this year. He said he kept looking out his window wondering when it was gonna freeze over.
He said about 50K people were still in the stands about an hour after the NFC championship game.
January 31st, 2009 at 3:48 pm
O.k. then, 100.
My invisible suit is working. Have to talk to Garret about that.
See you laterz then, this is getting too lonely.
January 31st, 2009 at 3:58 pm
jm2375,
Sneeky you, yah? Lol.
But thanks for the help.
I can understand the people of Phoenix. 60 years of futility finally over. I'm actually very happy for them. Still remember the von Crappen years, so we know how they feel right now. That's the major reason I'm rooting for them. Pittsburg already has 5 SB's.
January 31st, 2009 at 4:00 pm
Supper vb game. Bring back memories of the old days. Did you notice that # 5 played no minutes and #24 played only 1 minutes in the last BB game. I guess that was what Nash was refering to when he said those that does not buy into the system will be set down..
January 31st, 2009 at 4:20 pm
Momo,
They seem to have their number, hope they can do it again tonight.
January 31st, 2009 at 4:23 pm
Glad to see that Nash is getting a bit tougher, maybe that's what they need.
January 31st, 2009 at 4:26 pm
By the way, if Kelly is getting a try out with the Galaxy and Chivas, he must have a pretty good reputation in the soccer world. They don't try out just anybody for the heck of it.
January 31st, 2009 at 4:30 pm
Im watching Haku Correa...he wasnt challenged in HS.
January 31st, 2009 at 4:31 pm
43 minutes till fight time!
well, probably more than that. got all the undercard stuff.
January 31st, 2009 at 4:40 pm
BHF2
Understand that the Ching/Cooke Field dedication is going to be scheduled next week or the week after.
Maybe JD will invite us!
January 31st, 2009 at 4:46 pm
I was at a RFL meeting today, and I was told that the dedication will be Monday.
Among other things, I learned that the athletic department forgoes a hefty rental fee in order to allow RFL to go on. Many thanks to Jim Donovan for continuing this practice.
Thankfully, someone clarified that there is, at no point, to be any stakes driven into the turf when setting up tents. That would almost be on par with mowing the turf down ...
January 31st, 2009 at 4:54 pm
Speaking of Relay for Life, thank you to those that have already donated or have pledged to donate. So far, eight people have donated a total of $365.00! And several others have pledged varying amounts as well. You can see their names by going to my RFL page. Thank to everyone who has decided to give so generously to the American Cancer Society for this cause. Of course, my personal goal is $2,500, so there's quite a ways to go ...
Periodically, I'll be posting quick reminders asking for donations. You can read a request letter that I wrote on my Web site:
http://www.deep-mirrors.org/jason/relay.html
That letter also contains a link to where you can donate online, or print out a form to mail in your check or money order.
I think sjmacro said it best: Lend your support in spirit or by donation to Jason or any of the student/athlete teams. This is a “yes we can” event that benefits our community. So please consider helping. Even if it's only a small amount -- if 125 people donated $20, that would meet my goal. I am sure that there are at least that many people who lurk, if not more. Please think about any family members or friends who have been affected by cancer, and consider giving so that someday, nobody will ever have to hear such a dreaded diagnosis again. Thank you!

Just did it Thanks.............

Hey Jason, thanks so much for your organizing efforts for such a worthy cause.
January 31st, 2009 at 5:16 pm
it seems like this is the dead zone around here.
either you out buying pupus for tomw or for today or for both. i was at tanioka's today and the line (of course) was out the door. but at least twenty workers pumping out the poke's.
i'll bet today and tomw will ring in about a total of 50k at least per day.
January 31st, 2009 at 5:17 pm
so how about a surprise.
we haven't had any surprises in the past few days.

Parisyan with a good takedown
January 31st, 2009 at 6:14 pm
Parisyan was more of the aggressor. Second round to him.

Nice play to begin the match...4-1 Hawaii
January 31st, 2009 at 8:02 pm
Wow Penn took a pounding. No contest. It was very painful to watch.

January 31st, 2009 at 8:06 pm
Tepa committed to UCLA tonight. The reporter said he has long been a silent commit to UCLA so I guess Hawaii never really had a chance.

BJ Penn: damn y0 ....that was a beat down. I pray that our Athletes watched that fight because that goes to show you, no matter how talented you are, if you do not train and take things seriously, you going to get your a$$ handed to you.
January 31st, 2009 at 8:12 pm
its not easy moving up in weight class as history has dictated over the years in any kind of fight.
much heart being displayed by the local boy.
no shame.
January 31st, 2009 at 8:13 pm
i don't think too many of us are surprised with tepa's choice.
January 31st, 2009 at 8:13 pm

Wow BJ looked like punching bag. It was too painful to watch.

Article about grayshirting discusses how Texas, Texas Tech, and UH used it in past years.
January 31st, 2009 at 10:26 pm
Congrats to the Men's VB team for their second straight win over the #2 team in the country.
January 31st, 2009 at 10:27 pm
I guess Billy Ray is UH's first greenshirt. Texas regularly gets these types of recruits--they have 5 this year.
January 31st, 2009 at 10:29 pm
I remember talking about Junior Days and how other schools use them for years, both on and off this blog. JJ never had one at UH and I always wanted UH to have them...hard for me to believe that he's had a Junior Day for 2010 recruits before the 2009 recruits even had their NLI day!
January 31st, 2009 at 10:31 pm
BJ Penn got rocked tonight...looked slow, sluggish and overpowered by St. Pierre. Maybe Penn should stick to 155 weight class, he was clearly outmatched the whole fight.

The Consumer Product Safety Improvement was passed after a lot of publicity last year but seems horribly flawed! The law is supposed to come into effect on February 10 and could kill all thrift stores and craft stores…and basically outlaws children’s books in bookstores and libraries! They have a choice of banning children from libraries or removing all children’s books (which would keep children out of the library).
January 31st, 2009 at 10:31 pm
Great win by the VB team. Only in VB can you be that highly ranked with a losing record. I hope they have it turned around now.
The BB team sorely needs a dependable 3 point shooter. That was the difference tonight.
January 31st, 2009 at 10:32 pm

Nuff said.

Article about “love potions” mentions how marriage counselors might administer oxytocin (via a nasal spray) in the future as a part of marital therapy that would help prevent couples from divorcing. They also seem to have an “anti-love potion” (oxytocin blocker) that would prevent someone from falling in love.

Congrats to the men's vb team!! Great win tonight. They are starting to look like the vb teams of old.
No offense to Lisa Maa, but I miss Chris McLachlin. Hope he's back for the next game.

I remember when hackers were going after MSN e-mail accounts and got RainbowCliff among others. Now, they are going after Facebook...I know that a lot of people here have Facebook accounts and I hope they make their passwords hard to guess because the hackers are trying to steal Facebook accounts now.
Instead of hacking into msn e-mail accounts, now the scammers are hacking Facebook accounts and getting the “friends” of the Facebook owner to send money to fake addresses, claiming that the Facebook owner was robbed and needs money to return home.
January 31st, 2009 at 10:40 pm
I didn't realize the blog was down for so long...I got online and checked the blog and it was down, but 5 minutes later it was back up. I was offline all evening--we have friends with girls the same age as our girls and we have been alternating Saturdays for babysitting. Tonight was date night for Lori and me! I wish that Momo and Mrs. Momo were here to babysit often, but at least this way we get some time out.

poor directv and dish network folks....tomw they won't be able to catch the superbowl in hd.
January 31st, 2009 at 10:51 pm
so the young folks were over tonight to watch bj penn.
i used them as guinea pigs.
goteborg sausage, rice, furikake, ajitsuke nori.
surprisingly half of them have had it before.
so the next batch i add a mini dollop of best foods.
sounds like the recipe for tomw.
January 31st, 2009 at 10:52 pm
is their a time delay?
January 31st, 2009 at 10:52 pm
Garret= with my last day of work June 10 th, momo and mrs momo can take lots of trips to help out as long as Hawaiian air have space avail. I or we will travel a lot next year and make use of HA.
Super VB game. Maybe they finally got the right line up.

January 31st, 2009 at 11:21 pm
we may have a surprise or two by monday, perhaps as soon as sunday. but, if i were mack, at this point i would delay any annoucements until wednesday. we have had our share of poachers and a good number of decommits.
therefore, i'd wait until the ink has dried.
January 31st, 2009 at 11:24 pm
al-
Do you have a delay on your side?
January 31st, 2009 at 11:29 pm
furthermore....
it is good that we have pac 10 poachers. it shows that our staff has been doing there homework and are at least on to some very good talent.
January 31st, 2009 at 11:29 pm
not anymore.
January 31st, 2009 at 11:30 pm

al - I've been complaining about it since they switched out KHNL HD for KFVE HD. I sent an email to KHNL before Christmas, which was read, I think, but I never got a response. Right now, I couldn't care less, since I don't have a HD TV.

getting back to the goteborg musubi
please info midori7 that scoring the perimeter of goteborg sausage actually is a detriment when making the musubi version. frying the slice sausage makes it in to a concave disk. when lends towards making the musubi. you know it has a cupping effect much like a women's (ahem) undergarment.
also, al's style is with a mini dollop of best foods mayo. i should trademark that one huh? goteborg musubi al's style™
January 31st, 2009 at 11:44 pm

Comments were made days ago questioning the amount of kids UH were recruiting. It seemed liked we recruited too much.
Believe the staff expected to be some form of attrition.
January 31st, 2009 at 11:49 pm
Ralph - I believe the tekkies decided to do maintenance on the blogs. Dunno why they couldn't have waited till 2 am. Oh wait, that may have incurred the wrath of pride.
January 31st, 2009 at 11:49 pm
i keep thinking that stephanie lum's days are numbered here on the islands. not because a team will pick her up as "vili" type mascot.
i just think that she is bringing her 'a' game with her nightly newscasts and her looks is definitely an attribute that some larger market or syndicated network will soon offer her a bigtime contract.

February 1st, 2009 at 12:50 am
lights out time.
before i do one last parting shot. vball looked good. too bad it has taken this long to settle in on a lineup. the early version was too inexperienced i like this one a little better. grgas has upped his game. enter dyer and carney is the man, the leader of the pack.
but, the straw that stirs this drink is ric cervantes. his quickness is unsurpassed. normally the libero goes unnoticed except for their off color uniform, but, he continues to make so many plays it is a pleasure to see him flying all over the court.
eh. whitey, take the cards plus pts.

Momo,
It would be great to see you in San Diego more! You folks have to take care of your Hawaii grandchildren so I think it has been over a year since your last visit here (not counting the day after the cruise). At least we have seen you folks in Hawaii, Vegas, and the cruise.
It is too bad about your job...I don't know what will happen to the kids you teach and who will be able to take over.
February 1st, 2009 at 5:26 am

Al,
RE: Boss' BBQ sauce.
A long time ago, went to a cookout. BBQ ribs on the menu. The BBQ
sauce tasted like a hybrid. Asked about the sauce and the guy showed
me a bottle of BBQ sauce bought from the store. All I can remember
is the brand name begins with the letter "B". Maybe that was Boss',
maybe another brand.
February 1st, 2009 at 8:31 am
good morning and happy superbowl Sunday!
hope its a good game and better yet.....hope everyone enjoys the day.
recruiting is the lifeblood as we all know, but can't get'em all. at least we know U of Hawaii has made improvements in budgeting and style of recruiting.
February 1st, 2009 at 8:45 am
Al,
Don't know a lot about store-bought BBQ sauces. The only time I have
the opportunity to taste it, is when someone uses it at a cookout. The
closest store-bought BBQ sauce to the real deal is Bull's eye. BBQ
rubs are a lot simpler vs homemade. Store ones are really salty.
esme out!!
