The Wright stuff
By Stephen Tsai
Congrats to Liana Green-Wright — wife of former Warrior linebacker Matt Wright — who was crowned Mrs. Hawai‘i.
* * * * *
Thanks to Jon Nielsen for the news: Leonard Peters has qualified for the U.S. national rugby team. He leaves tonight for a tournament in China. He is the only rookie on the U.S. team.
* * * * *
The Warriors will not have any poster players this year.
There won't be, in fact, any posters.
In a practical move that will save $30,000, the athletic department is doing away with UH team posters.
The Warriors had issued posters, which include a team's schedule, for more than 30 years. The practice originated at a time before the widespread availability of the Internet.
Now UH's schedules can be found through various media sources. The Warriors still will distribute schedule cards. The school also is offering free downloadable desktop wallpapers that feature the schedules.
Each poster cost about 60 cents.
* * * * *
In a memo circulated to staff workers yesterday, UH confirmed it will print a full run of media guides for the football and women's volleyball teams. It has not been decided if media guides will be offered for other sports.
There is a growing trend — led by Wisconsin, Ohio State and Michigan of the Big Ten — to eliminate production of media guides as a cost-saving measure. Boise State, Fresno State and Nevada will not bring published football media guides to this month's WAC Media Preview in Salt Lake City.
But it was decided that because of UH's isolation, media guides are needed as recruiting brochures. Last year, UH spent about $80,000 to print media guides for all of its sports.

Re posters: I hope they will continue to design them and post some pdf files so people can print their own. (hi-res versions).
Alrighty!
Nitey nite and Sweet Warrior Dreams!

[...] Here is the original: UH to stop printing posters [...]
July 18th, 2009 at 4:38 am
It is sad but understandable that UH will not print posters anymore. I'm surprised that UH will print a full run of media guides instead of reducing the amount a little.
July 18th, 2009 at 4:39 am
Jake Ingram's agent said that Ingram should have a contract completed in about a week.
July 18th, 2009 at 4:46 am
UH should partner with someone to sell their posters instead of just not doing it.

Longtime rivals Army and Notre Dame will play the first football game ever held at the new Yankee Stadium when they face off their in 2010. The game will be considered a home game for Notre Dame and will be televised on NBC.
The Irish have high hopes for the 2009 season and are hoping to build off of their 49-21 victory over Hawaii in last year's Sheraton Hawaii Bowl Game.
In what was maybe the game that put Notre Dame on the college football map they defeated Army in 1913 by a score of 35-13. The game saw the Irish revolutionize the forward pass which changed the way the game was played.
July 18th, 2009 at 4:59 am
I'm guessing that the production costs are about the same as the printing costs.... so I don't think #10 would really be much of a savings....
Gotta save kala somehow....

Re: Leaheys
I've been away too long to know what the rest of you will be missing. This sort of Sports Talk show was a terrific vehicle for the Father/Son combo! The recipe worked! IMHO....
I still look forward to Kanoa playing a significant role in future 808 Sports!
July 18th, 2009 at 5:15 am
brew808,
I would reduce the number of media guides printed *and* cut out the posters to save money...or get sponsors who wish to put a small add on the poster to defray those costs.
It is great to see you on the blog again! I would stay but my kids are about to go to their first martial arts class today...

The Warriors are getting ready for year two of head coach Greg McMackin’s takeover of the Hawaii program. McMackin is applying a very interesting strategy this year by only guaranteeing three starting roles and claiming all the other spots are up for grabs. Even if a starter is returning from last season there is no guarantee that he will have that same privilege in the 2009-10 season. The only players who will retain their starting roles are quarterback Greg Alexander, center John Estes and the big defensive end John Fonoti. McMackin’s plan is to create an extremely competitive environment that will encourage players to tap deep into their talent and perform at their best ability.

The Bears open the 2009 season against the University of Hawaii in Honolulu on Sept. 4. UCA's first home game of the season will be Sept. 26 when it hosts Glenville State.
CONWAY, Ark _ The University of Central Arkansas Bears, who finished 10-2 last season, are ranked in three preseason national football publication polls.
The Bears are as high as tied for No. 8 (Lindy�s) and as low as No. 16 (Athlon) in the polls. UCA, which opens its season on Sept. 4 against the University of Hawaii in Honolulu, is ranked 11th by The Sporting News.�

Actually, I'd feel better playing UCLA, rather than UCA.... At least that's a known team, lots of film, know their tendencies, and we'd be "up" for that game!

I rode BART the other day. There was a newspaper on the train car floor. It looked kind of familiar. Hey - it was a Honolulu Advertiser!!! Awesome! Someone must have brought it on a HA flight into SFO.... Made me hungry for a plate lunch and some shaved ice at the beach!

Great Morning All!
I'll miss seeing those posters around at all the businesses that support UH Athletics. IDK if UHAD might not want to reconsider their decision if not for this upcoming school year, then for next. Those things are like "top of the mind" advertising.
Oh well, I'm sure all things were carefully considered by those who shoulda considered them....

I don't know if it was asked previously. Is there possibly something going on at 1500 that has folks like Demello and the Leahys leaving? I listened to them more than the other station because of their style. it was getting a bit stale at the other station. very sorry to see the departure. May have to go back to music and reading about sports.
July 18th, 2009 at 7:19 am
Morning from da garden isle. Haven't seen any of the resident tsaiko yet very busy setting up for party. Hope to hook up before I depart.
This Mariott is fabulous and some huge with plenty renovations going on. The hotel has been very busy and packed.

Good morning all...
Hmm.. no posters? Schedule posters? The kind that all the Pay-per-View joints had on their windows or walls to remind customers when and what time to return for more grinds? Not going to make a lot of F&B joints too happy. But then again, maybe they can take the pdf file to Kinkos.
Lemme see..at $15 a square foot... 2 feet by 3 feet = 6 x $15... auwe!
July 18th, 2009 at 7:57 am
Cheaper to convert the pdf to jpg and go to Sam's club or Costco's and have it printed on that thick print board.

Last time I got a "greetings", I found myself in uniform but I digress...
July 18th, 2009 at 8:36 am
I'm going to miss the Leaheys and Rob DeMello because they were entertaining. I'll also miss the competition they brought to the morning, going against Bobby Curran.
Then again, I'm not sure if there are enough guests to sustain all of the talk shows. I mean, when sports reporters are frequent guests, well, that can't be good.
July 18th, 2009 at 8:37 am
Good Morning Gangeez!
The L&L Show and the UH posters, two of my absolute favorite things. Depressing news on both. I'm glad that we have Brew around to brighten up our morning.
July 18th, 2009 at 8:37 am
The only trouble with making your own poster using pdf is that a lot of the stores give you that look, like you're doing some kind of copyright infringement.
July 18th, 2009 at 8:37 am
For what it's worth...
Bobby Curran Handicaps WAC FB Teams
1--Boise State--Outstanding Offensive Unit led by QB Moore. D looks rock solid. Toughest game will be at Tulsa. Could be headed back in a BCS bowl game.
2--Nevada--QB Kaepernick and RB Tua pace the Offense. D returns 7 starters and should be strong up front.
3--LA Tech--Big, nasty OL allows Bulldogs to pound the football. DLine returns intact but can they stop opponents' passing.
4--Hawaii Warriors--Offense may surprise some folks;QB Alexander will look like a different player this year. OLine led by Estes will be much better. This year's receivers will be fastest group. RB Funaki and Wright-Jackson will provide some balance. Big question is the D with only two starters returning. A healthy Blaze Soares will help a ton. Road games at Nevada and San Jose State will be critical.
5--Fresno State--Big question at QB. Look for inside running game becasue tackles are big but slow. Strength will be the D with 8 starters returning.
6--San Jose State--Five starters return on OLine but QB Reed can be rattled. D returns seven starters.
7--Utah State--D returns 7 starters but are undersized and vulnerable to the run. Aggies may just have to outscore their opponents.
8--New Mexico State--Have to find new QB to replace Holbrook. Most of O & D is new but have 5 starters returning on both sides of the ball.
9--Idaho--Problems at QB; RB position is decent. Six starters return on D but talent level is too low to avoid WAC cellar.
July 18th, 2009 at 8:39 am

UH should partner with someone to sell their posters instead of just not doing it.
_____________________________________________________________
Great idea. Can we call businesses to see if they'll co-sponsor?
July 18th, 2009 at 8:47 am
Howzit Stephen.
Good morning LTUHF, thanks for posting Curran's picks. And this is the guy we'll have to listen to instead of the Leahey's? *sigh*
July 18th, 2009 at 8:50 am
I think the posters were underwritten by a beer company.
But it was part of those corporate-sponsor deals where UH gets money, and some of it is used for posters. Now the money will go to other projects.
July 18th, 2009 at 8:50 am
WTG Leonard! Wish you much success in rugby!
Auwe about the Leahey show and no UH posters to wall paper my sons rooms!
July 18th, 2009 at 8:51 am
A 2'x3' print on poster paper, even at my cost, would run about $20 just for supplies.
July 18th, 2009 at 8:53 am
One of the things spared was the football team's use of hotels the night before home games. There was a growing movement to do away with such things. In the end, it was decided that UH needed it for the late-night and pre-game meetings and video reviews.
I know when we're on the road, we can see the team having meetings well past midnight.
July 18th, 2009 at 8:53 am
Congrats to L.Peters...rugby, my second favorite sport
July 18th, 2009 at 8:53 am
Wha... Leonard Peters playing Rugby? Zounds... !
July 18th, 2009 at 8:55 am
I think doin' away with the posters is a bad idea. If they cost 60 cents apiece to make, I'll bet you could sell a ton of 'em at a buck apiece and make money for other projects to boot! IMHO of course...
July 18th, 2009 at 8:57 am
Funny story about the posters:
Two years ago, UH printed posters featuring the four stars of the men's volleyball team. Well, one of them flunked out after the photo was taken. UH had to photoshop out the ousted player. Thing is, they had posed in a lagoon. You can still see traces of the player's reflection in the water.
July 18th, 2009 at 8:58 am
Bobby Curran needs to do his homework...
Having said that, his view of our defense may cause opponents to be totally underwares for brutal Kanack Attacks by a list of others besides Blaze.
We just won't say who, we'll make it our little surprise. Hehehehe...
July 18th, 2009 at 8:58 am
Re: posters.
Then again, there's the distribution problem.
UH isn't like Tom Moffat. It doesn't have the manpower to go around town dropping off posters.
July 18th, 2009 at 9:16 am
Good Morning Bulla,
Welcome Home to "The Beast"; Bet he's enjoying the grindz and company at Nancy's!
July 18th, 2009 at 9:24 am
Stephen-
How many posters were distributed each year? How many locations? Just wondering...
July 18th, 2009 at 9:29 am
So, any word on what's on the horizon for the Leahey's???
July 18th, 2009 at 9:36 am
What is the "real" story about the Leahey and Leahey? Was it a cost cutting measure?
I enjoyed their show to open the week and to close the week. Then you had Rob and Russ on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I admit I was a sports radio whore and I would flip between both 1420 and 1500 on all days of the week.
What I dont understand is that I would tune in to 1500 and it was national programming. No warning, no heads up. Then Rob says he's going to leave and now the Leahey's are gone without even a goodbye. I have nothing against Bobby Curran. I guess he will be the only show in town.
I guess I got to get used to hearing "fire it up" every weekday morning now....
July 18th, 2009 at 9:36 am
How's about UH asking kokua from Hawaiian Air for free advertising space in their inflight magazine promoting UH posters and other items for sale??? Likewise, HVB and Hotels throughout the state?
July 18th, 2009 at 9:55 am

Mahalo for the link to the article on Jon Wilhite and Kurt Suzuki. We've got to get these guys to the all-star game next year! We get to vote online, don't we?
RE: Bobby's 'capping of WAC teams. No mention of a new coach and system at NM St.? Seriously.
July 18th, 2009 at 10:54 am
About those posters-
They should still make layouts and save them as PDF files. Then let the fans download and print their own if they want.
Design it in three different sizes: Letter, Legal and Tabloid. Get design students to create them.

Las Vegas-
Sorry to hear about Sassy. I know what it feels like to lose a four-legged member of the family.
Too bad about the Football posters. They were a familiar site around town.

was watching news and saw that the world's oldest man died in England. He was 116 yrs. Before he died, he told everyone who would listen to him that the secret to his longevity is "WHISKEY", "CIGARETTES", and "WILD, WILD WOMEN". Now he is my idol!!!!!!!!
July 18th, 2009 at 11:32 am
Hiyah!
KAUAI KATTLE KALL KANCELLED
at least postponed.
Koakane is unable to come so wafan and I are going to chill out (that is a facetious statement from the sun-heated lands of west Kauai) at home for awhile.
We may try for an EARLY, EARLY Monday AM breakfast at Dani's.
Stay tuned.
Congrats to Leonard Peters!!!
Hiya Brew!
Hope the action is happening at Nancy's!
July 18th, 2009 at 11:53 am
Hiya, Brew:
your #30 - we are stuck with the travel agency's seats for the Wazzu game and unsure where we will be sitting. Will keep an eye out for you!
I don't think most of us knew that you would be going to this game - lousy excuse for not inviting you to sit with the Tsaikos!!
Will you be joining us for the Sunday tour of Undergrund City, Pike's Market, and lunch at that "crab/lobster/shell fish place?
July 18th, 2009 at 11:57 am
Just missed Da Beast this morning but good to see Mr and Mrs Bulla again with the rest of da gang.
July 18th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
Long Time UH Fan-
Thanks. I guess I'm just too keyed in to NM St. since that's the one road game I catch every-other-year. Six-hr drive each way from home, but worth it!
July 18th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
Hi 99club! I was just looking at yer picture da oddah day!
July 18th, 2009 at 1:34 pm
Really nice to see everyone at breakfast/lunch today.
The Beast looking good (the belly is really gone!) and a cool Conference Championship ring to sport!
Mahalo to Kekoa for arranging things.
July 18th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
Congrats Leonard Peters. Cool!
July 18th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
Here's hoping Chad Owens has a nice game tonight. He should be good for TDs if he sees the field.
July 18th, 2009 at 1:49 pm
Got to set next to Brashton's grandma at breakfast...a very nice and funny lady
The Beast looks Beastly....
July 18th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
Congratulations to Leonard Peters! The USA coach's words of praise does not surprise any Warrior fan.
July 18th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
its so hot!
July 18th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
Just back from some shopping after a very good bcc with the crew. Thanks all around for the turnout to welcome the Eastman Ohana to our humble side of heaven.
Special thanks to Kazz for showing up with an extra Warrior Jack for da judge. I was facing 20 years to life if Kazz nevah bail me out!
Gramma Pestana was there, and thank God and Greyhound for Big Wave for bringing her (and the Tsaiko's) extra copies of the feature article on her young 'un. Gramma told Myki that she really enjoyed talking football with the Tsaiko Ohana and wants to be included in our cc's.
One thing she assured me of is, when Brashton came home, she let it be known right away that she IS still the commander-in-chief. First order of the day was, "Eh Boy!...go take da trash out." Some things just never change, like her being at fb practice early.
July 18th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
LTUHF: Sorry you couldn't come to Nancy's today. Great fun!
Thanks Kekoa and my regards to Diane.
July 18th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
would kinkos print out a full sized glossy poster if we asked? i wonder how much that would cost? thats a lot of black ink. is it also legal?
July 18th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
Montreal Al........o........whatevahs won, but it doesn't look as though Chad played, as he had no stats.
July 18th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
Sounds good for Leonard Peters.

Curveball brought the rainy blessings from Kalihi with him and SailorBlue bought some Guava bread from da swap meet, but nevah share wid us. Dats ok. We just run up the score for the Navy game for that little indescretion.
Da Beast brought da Bling! His Conference Champion rock is very impressive. I'll bet the next one will look even better! Go Bulldogs!
No doubt that the Bulla Ohana was looking very 'together' today. Nice to see Lynn and family enjoying a family breakfast with all of us at a sober occasion for a change. Funny how not having Koakane around has made such a difference in that respect. Hmmm pahtna...we gotta talk.

July 18th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
D-1 ~ I was on a roll too!...Wildcats, I stand corrected! It's your son who was representing the Bull Doggies today! My apologies to the Beast and his head trainer!
July 18th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
Rob25 and Slugger you girls missed a good breakfast without any objectional animal parts to worry about. We did talk about Oyster Kim Chee that Liz is fine tuning for the opening game T-gate, but it was just anitcipation of that happening.
Ralph ordered French Toast for breakfast, and then ordered and ate chopped steak for lunch. Myki and Jeri had Curveball drooling over their Hawaiian plate combo for lunch!
Pops was happy to order his usual short stack of pancakes. Good to see him enjoying regular food after 10 days of hospital yuck!
Liz called in breaking news at noon to report that Waimea is harboring a known Tsaiko. The town is under threatcon level Bravo for the duration of the weekend. Rumor control indicates that there is a slight chance that he may have brought an accomplice from Oahu with him.
Didn't he mention something about being at a Marriot hotel? Hello...Security....
July 18th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
Time for a power nap before Diana gets back from shopping. Pops had a little fruit cup snack and is resting. Steaming a little turkey for dinner tonite. bbl...

They did not even offer me a taste...And Grandma Pestana had the Hawaiian plate but I was to scared to even look at hers...
Nice to meet Big Wave....

Having a hard time watching the softball game; the Japan girls' cheering makes me feel like I should go inside and order ramen or something!

mahalo to all from bfast at Nancy's this morning. great time, and mahalo for the kind words. even i was shocked with the 'bling ring' that the beast is sporting...he told me has more fingers for another conference and also national championship ring...we shall see.
great meeting sailor blue also....and the regulars, sj, myki, kekoa, kazz, d1, tom, kazz, julie, big wave, pops, curveball....and anyone i missed....mahalo. i didn't even realize that mrs. pestana was there until it was too late....many stories about lee ann at UH with coach dave, haha.
another great time to 'make memories', today, and they were made. looking forward to getting together again soon, mahalo again, and blessings to all
July 18th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
#101 Curveball,
haha, he looks pretty good, scary lean and mean, and he keeps continuing to plead his case 'dad, i'm fast...' haha, we'll see next week. good seeing you this morning by the way....hope you had a great breakfast.
wasn't that BLING RING something else? even i was surprised when i picked him up last night, what a joyous time, and don't worry, i am making memories, making memories, making memories......
July 18th, 2009 at 3:24 pm

A small town (3,800 residents) in Canada is being relocated a mile away so that a mining company can get at the gold deposits under its streets and houses. More than 6 million ounces of gold lie underneath the town, so the mining company is moving the buildings a mile away and has promised to build them a state-of-the-air school and community center, golf course, and the mining will create hundreds of jobs.

RSS feeds allow external readers (such as Google Reader) to be used. I use that to show me when a variety of websites have a new article or blog entry...you don't have to go to the website anymore, Google Reader or other programs show you every site you monitor and all the articles or posts you haven't read yet.
July 18th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
I wonder how many lurkers are follow Tsai? I was a lurker from the beginning. I am getting a little more talkative and maybe one day I will get around to popping into a Tsaikos get together.
July 18th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Aloha, gang!
Glad everyone had a great morning at Nancy's. I had pastele w/ rice & beans (Spanish rice, I think they said), then kulolo from the B.I., which was not as good, not even close, to MsLiz' neighbor's on Kaua'i. Lots of hula, but ... not as many people there as I have see at Moanalua Gardens in past years. You can see the effect that the economy has on visitors & the events that the kama'aina go to. Maybe 1/3 - 1/2 the number of people there as I've seen in the past. So, nobody wen cock-a-roach space on my mat, Kekoa.
The guys in Kaleo Trinidad's halau! oh,my! I could see a number of them as wide receivers, not bulky like OL or DL, but muscle definition... And Warriors! When the first young man danced "Hole Waimea"... Wow! You could see why Kamehameha conquered the islands. Tsaikettes woulda loved watching these men dance.
Wonder what Leonard Peters looked like when he performed at the Polynesian shows? Good luck to Leonard playing rugby!
Lots of fun being with my Kumu, her husband & my hula sisters today. We got up and danced during the kanikapila ending segment of the program. Felt like I never left them. Always in my heart.
Back to football...

What a day. An all day bbq with good friends. The only thing that could beat that would be an all day party with the Tsaikos.

And the college pastor at my church is Booby Moore who pitched for UH in '93-95. This is really a small world after all

Slugger ~ Glad you enjoyed the Prince Lot Festival. No cockroaches?! It was prolly because of the rain huh?
Did you invite ST??
July 18th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
ST ~ Ok...I know why you are upset. Ralph sent a personal invitation to Roysan16 and WarriorFanny2.
I will have to scold Ralph for not sending one to you, because I cannot accept the blame for this oversight. Why?...because I have already reached my daily quota of '1' mistake - which I apologized to D-1 for earlier today.

Al ~ Wait until you taste my Oxtail soup! It's as close to Kapiolani tasting as I can make it.
Kinda like my Lomi Salmon, it's all about big chunks of Ox and very little tail...combined with the finest ingredients I can find to bring out the flavor enhanced broth made wit da greens 'n gravy. Simmered to perfection and eaten with a side of German Brot. MMMmmmMMM!!
July 18th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
Kekoa,

I ate too much today...heck! I eat too much every day!
But today was a good day!

Aloha folks...
Great to see old friends and meet new one's at Nancy's...
The Beast's Ring could have fit on ring and middle finger (taped together). Glad to catch up with him before he, bro, and sis had to depart.
Great to meet Mrs. Pestana and talk about her Alvis, Crash, Liko, and Chanteal..
I only wished I could have partaken in the feast... The fuud looked so ono I was thinking about it too much and missed the freeway entrance toward Waianae side and thus I had to drive all the way through Waipahu Town and caught every single light... I thought I saw Homey at every intersection (no not in a brokeback kind of way)..
Waterpark with NewWave was fun.. We went close 'em down..
Bulla and Ohana... See you in our Father's House in a few hours..
July 19th, 2009 at 1:55 am
djmitcho,
Tell Allen Allen that our Castle High 25th class reunion is on Saturdaya Sept 26th. Same place as the 20th (Kaneohe Marine Base Officer's Club)...
BTW1 at the 20th, Allen was voted something like most celebrated/visible/popular classmate along with Dr. Ligaya Stice (former Miss Hawaii '89 and NE Patriots Cheerleader).
BTW2 The "A-Bomb" also a great singer and once sang the National Anthem at a HS Assembly
BTW3 "Double A" was known more as Basketball and Football player in HS. Boys Vball wasn't that big back then in HS.
July 19th, 2009 at 2:28 am

July 19th, 2009 at 3:55 am
Was thinking if Mrs. C and/or SteveM shared their Colt Cards:
- would KoaMahu have to fight with the Tsaikettes on who gets one of the 4 Queens?
- would Chawan_Cut need to out do Homey as the Joker?
- and I suppose
-- Ace of Diamonds = D1
-- King of Clubs = SteveM (King of Club Genji)
-- 7 of hearts = Midori7
-- 9 of clubs = 99club or is it club99
oh and when all the cards are distributed, cheepono will sadly say, "Cheepono out"
