Game week
August 30th, 2009
By Stephen Tsai
By Stephen Tsai
Game week started with this morning's practice on Cooke/Ching Field. Several notes:
• It appears that Brent Rausch has nudged ahead of Bryant Moniz in the competition for the No. 2 quarterback's job. Rausch took most of the snaps. "You have to report what you see," head coach Greg McMackin said.
• Defensive right end Fetaiagogo Fonoti did not practice because of a variety of ailments. But he said he will resume practicing this week and he promised to be ready for Friday's opener against Central Arkansas.
• Center John Estes resumed practicing after missing about four workouts because of a bruised left shin.
• There is concern about left cornerback Tank Hopkins' availability after he missed another practice because of an injured hip flexor. Lametrius Davis and Lewis Walker, who has been impressive the past week, are competing at left cornerback in Hopkins' absence.
• Safety Gary Nagy, a Kahuku graduate who relinquished a BYU scholarship to return home, has been cleared to practice. He must redshirt this season in accordance with NCAA transfer rules. After that, he will have two years to play two seasons. He attended BYU for three semesters.
And here are some old-school highlights:

Happy birthday, Momo

A friend needs some help. He's doing a story on Harry Kalas. Does anybody remember his broadcast partner for Hawaii Islander games? Thanks.

Have a great day everyone..
Go get some waves in the country for me..
Yesterday a small North Swell rolled in...

5 days to go and the injury list keeps piling up. Defensively it looks like we'll be playing a lot of the second team. Nothing like game experience to get them up to first team levels, though, and this is the kind of game to work them. Hopefully all the injured (not season-ending) will be ready to rumble by the second game.

Aloha from Cali!
August 30th, 2009 at 10:57 am

Happy Birthday to Momo
August 30th, 2009 at 11:06 am
LL Series is jam packed with fans. Game is tight. Sparkling defensive play by the CA team to get out of trouble with the bases loaded in the 4th. They hang on to a slim one run lead over Taipei.
August 30th, 2009 at 11:07 am
Warriors need some younger guys on the DL to really step-up and earn some PT!
August 30th, 2009 at 11:11 am

We need the Jrs and Sophs on the Offensive side to really step up and play when their names are called this season, otherwise, we in deep kaka next season. But we worry about next season when this season ends, eh?

Brew808,
You going to volleyball tonight? Kazz will be there & so will I.
August 30th, 2009 at 12:37 pm
Good afternoon, gang! : )
August 30th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
RE: #36 It's over 100 degrees today! Howzit with you folks?
No,I'm not WarriorMojo...but I've been checking out the blog for many years. Lookin' forward to this season with all the games up here. I'll will be going to the Washington, Vegas, San Jose and Reno games.Go Warriors!!!
August 30th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
As noted yesterday Wie needs to break out of the mold she has had the last 6 to 8 tournaments. Solid rounds on Thurs & Friday, swan dive on Sat and great shooting on Sunday with no pressure. All the experts say it's a matter of time & she needs to be in contention on Sundays.
Rookie Hur from Korea just won her 1st LPGA tournament, beating Petersen on the 2nd playoff hole.
Great game last night between St. Louis & Leilehua last night, as already stated lots of D1 prospects on both teams.
August 30th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
My laptop has gone to the farm, as we used to say about pets that are no longer around.
August 30th, 2009 at 1:34 pm
Hey Stephen I know were in the middle of football season and all but a few warrior volleyball questions.
Is it true Brian Beckwith is the new GA?
Are Umlauft, Biscaro, and Metzger all in school and any new player additions that you know of ? THANKS
August 30th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
willie, mw did not play on thurs as this was a fri, sat, sun tourney. u right about playing solid game. she is doing great with the birdies, but those dang bogeys are killing her.
August 30th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
I think Beckwith was going to be the G.A., but I haven't seen him in a while. Then again, he looks different with the darkened hair.
Umlauft, for sure, is in school. He's been kicking butt in unsupervised scrimmages. I believe both of the freshman setters are here, too.
August 30th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
Stanford's "autumn" semester begins Sept. 21. I guess MW gets to play some more.
But, gee, isn't it kind of hoity to call it an autumn semester? What happened to good ol' fall?
I guess that's what happens when your school color is "cardinal" instead of "red."
August 30th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
ST, political correctness at its finest and what do you expect from a yuppie school
August 30th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
Whitey, I know this was only a 54 hole tournament. Point I was trying to make is that she plays very well to make the cut on Thurs & Fri (this tourn only had Friday qualifying) in the upper third, but falls flat on Saturdays, then shoots lights out on Sundays when she is well off the pace to have a chance to win with no pressure. Would be nice to see her reverse this trend. She did start off the year at Turtle Bay in contention on "Money Sunday" but lost to Petersen I think.
Appreciated your comments.
August 30th, 2009 at 2:04 pm
also what do you expect when you write to Stanford U, it is in Palo Alto, but they want their address to be Stanford, CA with the same zip as Palo Alto. Most high maka maka places all do the same. You think they would all build a Post Office on their property, but know they all are too cheap and use the zip from their area. heeeehaaaaa!!!!!!!!
August 30th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
battle of qbs vs their ex teams. cutler vs orton.
August 30th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
willie, me and you cheer for her and truly wish she would play a solid 3 or 4 rounds, but like you say, her tendency is to broke leg on either sat or sun. i think she is starting to see the light much brighter and hope she does it this coming weekend. i not going be here to cheer, but my best to her.
August 30th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Isn't it supposed to be a farm school?
Maybe they should be the Farmers. At least then we'd know the nickname is plural.
Cardinal.
Magic.
Heat.
How annoying.
I know at the office they wanted to pluralize all nicknames, like Nevada Wolf Pack. We argued that if you were actually talking about a real pack of wolves, the pack would be singular (collective noun). We won. I think.
August 30th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
Here's a glossary of Stanford terms:

August 30th, 2009 at 2:13 pm
Stanford's band has a mascot.
August 30th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
After one of Cal’s many Big Game victories over Stanford, a Cal student and a Stanford student are standing next to each other at the urinals in the mens’ Room.
The Stanford student finishes, then goes to the sink to wash his hands. The Cal student finishes, then walks directly outside.
The Stanford student walks outside to reprimand the Cal student. “At Stanford University,” he says proudly, “we always wash our hands after using the restroom.”
The Cal student replies, “At Cal, we don’t pee on our hands.”
August 30th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
A tree???????
August 30th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
somehow, the word stanford is cranking up st. they did lose last night in volleyball to some unknown school.
August 30th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
good luck whitey.
bring back some king's for our tailgate or my freezer.
August 30th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
one thing i do give my thanks to is stanford hospital. if it wasn't for their neurolgical staff, my sister in law would not be living today. if i had to depend on the medical procedure in hawaii, she would be dead.
August 30th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
How do you get a Stanford grad off your porch?
Pay him for the pizza.
August 30th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
al, this time it is some serious fishing. last trip was as a conservationist, but this time, no catch and release.
August 30th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
How do you make Stanford cookies?
Put them in a big bowl, and beat them for three hours.
August 30th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
I think I'm interrupting Al and Whitey's conversation.
August 30th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
Can someone refresh my memory?
I'm sure I've read about it, but forgotten it : Why do the Warriors play UCA on friday night at 7:00 pm again? Theirs no ESPN, or Fox, or VS, or any other TV, besides K-5 (as far as I know). So, what gives?
August 30th, 2009 at 2:45 pm
There's (cheese).
Game week, I love the sound of this.
August 30th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
Florida Ted;
Central Arkansas has a big game the following week, so to agree to play this game, UH had to move up date a day. It actually works out OK for UH. The Warriors leave the following Wednesday for an 11-day trip.
August 30th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
st, i can see the stanford tsaikos with their cardinal face, oops meant red face.
August 30th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
UCA wants to return home at a reasonable time for the players to get back to classes on Monday.
August 30th, 2009 at 2:54 pm

Ralph #74:
Isn't the Monday following the game Labor Day?
August 30th, 2009 at 3:12 pm

HAUOLI LAHANAU, MOMO!
whoosh!
August 30th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
crw but i believe that is the reason jd gave for moving the game up, easy travel time for UCA. maybe people in arkansas don't celebrate labor day lol non union, they are just hard workers.
August 30th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
Kazz,
Too funny!
August 30th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
isn't tyson chicken and walmart headquartered in Arkansas, those two corp work 7 days a week, use a lot of migrant workers for cheap labor so they are open 24 hours a day. no labor day for them.
August 30th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
Ralph . . .
That being the case, every day is a labor day for them.
August 30th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Zorn plans to have Campbell sit out their final preseason game and both Colt and Chase will get a lot of playing time.
August 30th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
I like UH playing the game a day early because they lose a day of preparation when they go on the road. It also gives the Warriors an extra day to recover and prepare for Washington State.
August 30th, 2009 at 3:45 pm
Cannon Smith is transferring to Memphis. Looks like Memphis has gotten a number of transfers from Miami.
August 30th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Thanks, Tsai-Meister, memory restored and it does make sense for UH.
August 30th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
amazin what i read. mortified.
not.
rememba, we got nuns hangin arouind us now.
August 30th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
Stanford follows a tri-semester school year - an "autumn" semester, a "winter" semester and "spring" semester - just words - like UH has its first semester, second semester and summer school which has two sessions.
August 30th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Sweety and I went to see District 9. Best movie I have seen in some time. We come strolling out into the lobby, and there's Clayton Laurel, Ikaika Rodenhurst. Ralpn Ieru and Aaron Kia. They loved the movie too.
August 30th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
They looked in great shape.
August 30th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
Standford gives me da IRay.

August 30th, 2009 at 4:38 pm
Good to hear that the QB2 situation seems to be settled. No distractions; game prep is the most important thing now.
August 30th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
it's vb time!
August 30th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
i'm a bad fan.
i'm not there.
very long weekend.

Go Wahine!
August 30th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
great win in the first set... need our middles. kaufmann with neg. # 3 errors in 5 att. , hewitt saw two sets, actually one was a bump over i believe.
August 30th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
got to keep the UCLA middles honest, they are sitting on the outside to double team kanani and steph., mafua got to use hewitt and kaufmann in the middle.
August 30th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
UH should run the middle more, instead of shooting to the outside, too predictable....Kaaihue is unreal......
August 30th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
oh no..........danielson down
August 30th, 2009 at 5:52 pm
UCLA foot on our side of the net, she fell on the side of it................
August 30th, 2009 at 5:52 pm
BIGFOOT, ouchhhh
August 30th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
that is a giant of a girl. 6'6"? wow.
August 30th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
ferrell is doing a great job on the rs, i wonder if its the block or feeling more comfortable swinging from the right.
August 30th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
mafua has to use the middles up the middle and some pike sets to keep UCLA middles in the middle longer to free the outside.
August 30th, 2009 at 6:07 pm
ferrell got about 5 kills without an error on the rs.
August 30th, 2009 at 6:08 pm
Wow 2nd set was terrifice. Na Wahine playing big time. Even with Kanani out. Hope they can continue in the 3rd set. Speaking of nuns, well nuns got nothing to do with this, but did you know that there are more Catholic churches then casinos in Las Vegas. During the collection, many toss in casino chips in the collection. Because of all the various chips, they send it all to a nearby Franciscan Monastery who redeem all the chips at the chips origin casino. Those that does all this work are called "chip monks."

August 30th, 2009 at 6:16 pm
August 30th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
d1島 - You're welcome to use my parking pass.... kind of a long walk and swim though....
August 30th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
Ferrell: Left ankle. Bruin block cheats to their right, esp their MB.
August 30th, 2009 at 6:32 pm
ferrell's spike to the libero's chin..wow, she got up, in fact she bounced up, give her credit
August 30th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
a sweep, how sweet it is!
August 30th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
didn't realize that aneli hit 4% tonight, but her energy, serves, and defense helped. ferrell had 9 kills and one error after the first game.
August 30th, 2009 at 6:42 pm
I was an instructor at the Marine Corps Air Schools and one day I asked a Marine to take a pen and pass it along to one of his classmates. Then asked that Marine to pass along to the next, and so on, and so on, until every one in the class, including the female students had their hands on the pen. Then I said that the first Marine used the restroom and didn't wash his hands. I taught them a good lesson that day.

Wow, what a fantasy draft. It's gonna be an interesting season for the Tsaikos
August 30th, 2009 at 7:21 pm
i hope this time colt gets a chance to play with the ones. hopefully, the pass protection and route running will be more professional.
August 30th, 2009 at 7:22 pm

Wahines looked GREAT! Me thinks they will get much better. Good teams in this tournament and Wahines responded well. Farrell gave that lady one huge facial! I hope the middle can improve. Not bad for her first tournament play. She put up some great numbers in the middle.
Well da mower broke down so went to dump some trash at Kawailoa. Traffic jam in Haleiwa! Jam went past Haleiwa! Darn people stopping for the turtles! Tried to double back and go through Haleiwa town and ...traffic jam there too!

New England back-up QB Kevin O-Connell was released today. I saw him play earlier this weekend and he was terrible. Now this is a pefect time for the Patriots to acquire Colt Brennan to be the back-up for Brady.
They can probably get him for probably a future 5th or 6th round pick or either trade a player straight up. Or they could wait and take their chances that Colt get released and pick him up after clearing waivers for nothing. Either way, the Patriots are smart. Right now I don't know who's the back-up.
August 30th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
I think I'm all alone here.

Derek:
Thanks for the update. That's surprising. O'Connell always had the tools, so I figured the Patriots could mold him.

Al,
I'm sorry to pass along bad news, but I think that Momo and Mrs. Momo have childcare duties on Friday (my sister and her husband have to work), so they won't be able to tailgate. They will get to the stadium in time for the game, but I don't think they will be able to tailgate.

i think part of colt's troubles could be attributed to the talent level of the receivers and obviously the second/third team oline.
i am also surprised at zorn's rather conservative approach in his play calling.
August 30th, 2009 at 8:54 pm

They hotel will honor all reservations at that rate, even though they normally charge between $128 and $214 for single night stay.

women's vb...they look good.
what i liked was the way they are getting to balls.
a lot of athletes on the court.
brittany hewitt is proving why she is the other mb. she'll only get better. in two years when she gets stronger, she will be a force.
a lot of firepower in danielson, otineru, and ferrell.
still waiting for kaufmann to arrive at the party. time to refocus from high jumping to vb. when she does....watch out.
lots of great parts on this team and kaaihue is symbolic to the kind of conditioning and work the girls put in during the offseason as they appear to be more fit and better athletically this year.
the final piece of the puzzle, the straw that stirs the drink lays in the hands and head of danni mafua. her game is not real sharp right now as it needs to be. if she can make improvements every game and then take charge of this team as the great ones/setters of the past have we could be in the final four with all eyes upon us.

When Kanani went down the 5,500+ in attendance went DEAD silent.
It was deja vu all over again with the pit in my stomach and the energy being sucked out of the place much like when Colt went down against Fresno State in 2007.
Not sure if they showed this on TV but a few minutes later WHILE play was happening, they showed Kanani in the tunnel with the trainer "test jumping" her ankle... It was very Paul Pierce-ish except no wheelchair and Kanani's injury was LEGIT.
I hope that when she wakes up tomorrow, the ankle will be fine. The way she rolled it, there most likely will be some sort of swelling but to what degree remains to be seen.
BTW, that up official that gave UCLA those two "antenna" points works for the same bank I do, but in the auditing department I believe... go figure... Who's gonna audit his calls tonight?

Al,
Brittany Hewitt's play has skyrocketed from her "debut" on Friday night.
Granted it was her first night as a starter on Friday, but she was too "soft" and hesitant with her kill attempts. She got better with her blocks on Saturday and of course got a pretty "complete" game tonight against the #9 team in the country.
After tonight I think UH fans will be MORE than happy with four more years of her.
August 30th, 2009 at 9:14 pm

August 30th, 2009 at 9:18 pm
I'm glad that the Wahine are off to such a great start. I hope that they can stay sharp and continue to improve when they get into the WAC schedule...while teams in other conferences are challenged each week there are too many WAC schools that are at a different level of play than the Wahine.
At least one or two WAC teams are consistently a tough challenge and the threat from one team has increased in the past year...improvement by WAC teams is important for the Wahine to reach their potential and peak for the NCAA tournament.
August 30th, 2009 at 9:18 pm
kazz,
yes, they showed that on tv.
they also showed kanani and the ucla girl that she stepped on in the all tourney lineup. you could see the ucla giant say sorry to kanani and they talked it over and blew it off. it happens.
but yes. everything was rolling in game 2 and then that happened. i was like, OH NO!
August 30th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
Liz Ka'aihue and Aneli Cubi-Otineru had MONSTER performances tonight.
UCLA really scouted Amber Kaufman's "swing" set up tonight as I think it was only truly effective once. What also helped UH was UCLA's libero who seemed like she didn't know where she was on the court as there were several instances where she should have let the ball die for a side out in favor of UCLA, but instead she saves it and eventually our Wahine took advantage of it. Oh well...
Overall, it was good to see the constant smiles on the face of the Wahine tonight. For 95% of the entire match it seemed like they couldn't do anything wrong. Nice to see them shake off the "head scratching" performance that was last night's match against Santa Clara.
#2 Texas comes to town this coming Saturday night...
August 30th, 2009 at 9:22 pm
Chawan,
Yeah, that injury was no one's fault. It was good to see Kanani get up pretty quickly with little limping.
But man, words cannot describe what that did to the crowd when it happened...
Im gonna stay up for the replay.
August 30th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
kazz,
too bad that match wasn't in HD.
i'm gonna dvr the replay.
K5's first HD showing will be Thursday's Wahine match vs somebody. i don't have a poster to tell me who.
August 30th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
In instances like what happened tonight, newcomer Corinne Cascioppo is going to have to be called upon.
Stephanie Brandt came in to briefly play Kanani's spot but she misplayed a low set.
I like Brandt and since last season I always felt she had the ability to pull the team together by being vocal and her strong defensive play, but she looked a little rattled when she was subbed in during that time.
August 30th, 2009 at 9:33 pm
We play St. Louis on Thursday night at 7pm.
Speaking of HD, I wouldn't mind watching that kill that went off UCLA's libero... It looked so painful/embarassing for that UCLA player that most of the crowd was busy "ooo-ing and awwww-ing" at the replay on the big screen to remember who even got credited with the kill.
At first I felt bad about jumping up and down mocking someone feeling dizzy because she was on the court for a little, but when she got up I think everyone realized she was more ashamed than anything else.
August 30th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
i believe that was ferrel. we have some boomers on this team. hopefully hewitt can bring some power too. i miss a powerful middle blocker like bown.
August 30th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
The more Hewitt plays the more confident she will be with her power.
If Hewitt starts pounding da court with the authority of an upper classman (woman
) then look out!!!
August 30th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
Unfortunately Colt will not be released. The Skins know what they've got, they will give Colt another year of grooming and then we'll see. He doesn't have the luxery of highprised rookies to have a vanilla offense designed around him. He has to learn the entire offense, all of it, just like Campbell. Should be an interesting year.
August 30th, 2009 at 9:46 pm

Very,very impressive this years Wahine. This could become a super year. Sweeping UCLA is always an accomplishment, no matter where or how.
August 30th, 2009 at 10:09 pm
Florida Ted,
I agree with you regarding Colt. He's showing that he can move the ball. Come back immediately after throwing a 97 yard interception and score to tie the game. He showed that he can make decisions under pressure behind a less than ideal O-line. He has also demonstrated that he can learn from the coaching staff, do as he has been taught and improve on his decision making skills. Chase is where Colt was a year ago. He's raw and playing with the third stringers.
Zorn is giving Colt time to 'earn' the respect and confidence of his teammates, he'll need all that when he takes the helm.

The wahine vb team looked pretty good and when kanani went down I thought oh no!, ucla will win the game...but the wahines did a great job...I hope hewitt will become a force in the middle...she started to pickup in the fourth game against santa clara.

COLT's CORNER:
Still sharing credit...and accepting blame... here's the credit part:
http://www.warpathconfidential.com/?p=860
"On the touchdown:
Basically it was third down and we had a play called. [The defense] come up and played a certain defense. It was questionable as to which way should I go, I didn’t have a good feel for it. Right at the snap I decided to go to my left. As I was reading the safety I was trying to keep him inside and when I went outside to look at Marko [Mitchell], I saw him put his hand up, which meant that he was going; he had beaten the DB and he was going to take off and just go for the end zone. It was just all reaction, just what we work out here everyday, that timing, that reaction. I just reacted and threw it downfield. He ran under it and made a great play and made a touchdown.
For a young rookie to do that in a big situation on national TV against a great football team and a good defense says a lot of him and I’m just glad I was able to get it to him.
We practice these balls all the time and that’s what you do when you practice. You want to practice muscle memory. I remember during warm ups I was throwing the 9-routes really smooth. I felt really good throwing 9 routes. When that thing opened up and I reacted, the ball came out real smooth and right where I was trying to throw it."

ST, some thing I've noticed on the Advertiser UH football schedule. When you look at the times, one, the WSU game is no longer TBA and 2, while the Idaho game says 2pm MT, Moscow is in the PTZ. So while technically correct, I think it should say 1pm PT. Maybe I'm just nitpicking, but I'm getting excited to watch the Warriors play already

I know it's still before 8am but I have an important question regarding the Call the Coach Show tomorrow night at the Outrigger Reef Hotel. Are they going to have the $1 Heine special?? It would make it worth while to go into Waikiki for that. If not, I have a feeling the crowd will be thinned out from previous seasons when it was held at the Willows.

Kia especially was well-admired by the aunties and tutu in our group... his winning personality night have had something to do with it too.
Yea, JAKE INGRAM! It was cool to hear his name called during the last game.

I used to go once in a while when it was at Lulu's at the edge of Waikiki. It was okay there but was noisy since most people there were not there for the show, but dinner. I guess the Outrigger is a big sponsor of UH so they want to get publicity for their hotel. I just hope there are beer specials going on.

good news about leatigaga, hafoka, fonoti, and much hope held out for tank's recovery.
would love to see tank, brown, smith, and silva laying the smack down on the receivers crossing the "street".
August 31st, 2009 at 8:44 am
Jake..Jake..Jake! Never a doubt dat he wuz kona be da Man! Hi-Five Aunty Liz! We were lucky to see his development first hand.
Actually, like every other fan, we never really appreciate what a good long snapper can do. Being inches away from he and Tim Grasso working hard between downs, we were afforded a ring-side seat of their pure work ethic. Obviously, all that hard work paid off!
Congratulations Jake Ingram!
Go Warriors!

Al ~ I'm going thru 'pan LL' recovery today, and should be 100% by Friday.

IS IT FRIDAY YET???!!!!!!
August 31st, 2009 at 8:50 am
is it just me, or does Russell Tanoue look like Jason? just saw the Metromix pic in the upper corner there.

or does Jason lead a secret celebrity life???
August 31st, 2009 at 8:51 am
Happy Season Opener Monday!
YIKES! I have to make sure I order the game at 3pm exactly so I can watch it once I get home!
August 31st, 2009 at 9:03 am
no be jealous since Jason gets all the chicks hanging all over him

How good is UH center Estes?
Consider this fact:
5 WAC Centers Named to Rimington Trophy Watch List
http://www.wacsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=45959&SPID=4122&DB_OEM_ID=10100&ATCLID=204779130
For Estes being in the company of other fine centers and having been named to All-Wac first team the last 2 seasons is saying a lot.
For the Wac having five center represented is also saying a lot. Found this news quite surprising.

"El Ferd" sees UH goin' 8-5 this season...
August 31st, 2009 at 9:32 am
Come next Monday I hope there's a buzz on the blog regarding the Warriors romp over CA.
I hope UH executes, and approaches the game with player's faces showing games faces that are hungry, intense and not over confident (as others have mentioned).
Not wanting to sound aloof but I'm hoping the game is so out of reach that at half time... coach can afford to bench his starters.
Nothing wrong to wishing, but I'm hoping to see the players and coaches with happy faces on the side lines that reflect a well played game by the Warriors.
August 31st, 2009 at 9:32 am
I think that's just a guy tryin' to look like Jason so he can mack all da wahines like Jason does.
August 31st, 2009 at 9:39 am
Al ~ We dined at our fave Thai restaurant in Waipio last nite. It is located right next door to our Wessai clubhouse (Nancy's). Their speciality is a chunky Lobster dish done in coconut cream and Shitaki mushrooms. Of course all of the other traditional menu choices (including da Pho!) are very tasty as well.
D-1 and his boss dine there regularly. I noticed that they have no problem dragging #1 son and his gf there. Wen #2 son is home, that football training table appetite kicks in!
They have a private back dining area that would easily accomodate our band of hungry Tsaiko's.
August 31st, 2009 at 9:57 am
yes, royvic that would make for a very happy ending. it would also say volumes about mack's in between seasons improvements to the program and that they have planned well.
this second year is very critical to the program, mack, and recruiting.
August 31st, 2009 at 9:59 am
well, st talked so much about the pho the #2 took us to a favorite of the younger generation yesterday. while i did enjoy it, i gotta say hale viet nam is still da best.

That's great news! thanks.
August 31st, 2009 at 10:51 am
Hoohiki,
Jeeez…. My heart stopped a little when I read the first part of your post regarding Kanani…
Coach Shoji said on BC this morning that the trainer told him her ankle was swollen to the size of a golfball an hour after the match.
It looked really bad on the replay. But she seemed fine in the post game interview and in the article this morning.
The season is still young and I'd be cautious about playing her this week, especially as early as this Thursday night against St. Louis.

Re-The Coaches Show at the Willows
It's too bad the show moved. Every time I'd listened to the show broadcasting from the Willows it seemed like it was always well attended. And it seemed like the posters were giving the show and The Willows a thumbs up. Everything about having the show at the Willows I think is alluring-location, accessibility, buffet and drink specials- that had they stayed I think it would have beckoned more fans turning out to the show.
The show at the Reef Hotel does have a panoramic sunset view I'm told. But don't know too much other info about that locale regarding food, drink and parking specials. If someone, however, said forget about peripheral things and just come out and support the coach I'd say they're right.

Does anyone know if Nagy was a starter at BYU??
August 31st, 2009 at 10:57 am
Why is Samson Satele having trouble in his position with his new team? Were they correct in Miami in saying that he would have the difficulties and thus traded him?
August 31st, 2009 at 11:00 am
Well said
August 31st, 2009 at 11:00 am
protector,
I don't think that Nagy played much. According to the 2008 season statistics, Nagy didn't have a tackle, INT, or any other stat for BYU.
August 31st, 2009 at 11:07 am
jm2375 ~ I know Pho is basically Vietnamese fuud, but at the Thai restaurant we go to, it is a featured dish on their menu. Come over to da Wessai and check it out...no matter who lays claim to it, it is scrumptilicious!
August 31st, 2009 at 11:07 am
Buffoman,
I'm guessing that Samson is still recovering from his (shoulder?) surgery this offseason. That forced Samson to miss a lot of practice time and probably set back his weight training this offseason.
August 31st, 2009 at 11:10 am
jm2375 ~ Pho shuah, No dogs allowed. Gotta leave puppy at Homey's house. His poodles will provide a little socialization. If he doesn't play nice, Homey has a homemade smoker in da backyard!

Howzit Tsaiko Nation! 4+ Days and counting!!
They just need to tighten up on the opponents' dink shots, and keep their serve returns a little further off the net, and this should be a (NCAA) banner year! One of my few regrets about having emigrated from O'ahu is that I can't attend the games (FB, VB, BB & Baseball) as I once did. Mahalo to K5 for helping fill the void.
Gotta give Mr. Shoji and his warrior wahine a lot of credit for a job well done this weekend! (The AVCA was so impressed they list them at 4-0 on the season! I guess the win over UCLA counted as 2!
Friday's almost here! GO WARRIORS!!
