UH loses sixth in a row
October 31st, 2009
By Stephen Tsai
By Stephen Tsai
RENO — It was a familiar theme for the Warrios: too many mistakes, too many missed opportunities. The 14-0 lead was written in smoke, especially with the Colin Kaepernick-led running attack.
There were short punts. Fumbled punt returns. A touchdown nullified by a penalty. A touchback nullified by a penalty. Good field position nullified by a penalty.
And when the Warriors needed to make a defensive stand, they could not prevent a 6-minute drive that culminated in an insurance-padding field goal.

yeee haaaa
Go Warriors
October 31st, 2009 at 1:40 am
I wonder if coaches have wondered aloud how come so many unforced errors? the mental preparation,who is in charge of that?
C'mon Warriors! It starts with each one of you stepping up!
October 31st, 2009 at 1:41 am
first I was first.
October 31st, 2009 at 1:43 am
Hey ST
you up kinda early, huh?
October 31st, 2009 at 1:44 am
Top 5 baby!
October 31st, 2009 at 1:44 am
Quick 6!
October 31st, 2009 at 1:45 am
Good Morning BHF2! Good Morning Warriors! Good Morning Tsai-kos!
October 31st, 2009 at 1:45 am
We're debating whether to cover cross-country this morning.
October 31st, 2009 at 1:45 am
TD TD TD
October 31st, 2009 at 1:46 am
Lucky 7! Sorry BHF2 to break-up your streak.
October 31st, 2009 at 1:46 am
Our feeling is we can cover cross-country, football and women's volleyball.
Then again, the feeling was a lot stronger before I stayed up all night to gamble.
October 31st, 2009 at 1:48 am
What's the weather like?
October 31st, 2009 at 1:50 am
Don't forget that the time change is only two hours when you return.
Win some for me. Busy day so it's off to bed for four hours.
October 31st, 2009 at 1:51 am
Hiya TChahng
where are you now and hows the weather?
October 31st, 2009 at 1:53 am
Hiya Doc. Bye Doc.
ST
sounds like a night to remember.
October 31st, 2009 at 1:55 am
howzit?
October 31st, 2009 at 1:57 am
off to buy donuts!
October 31st, 2009 at 1:58 am
Weather is fine in Reno.
Thanks for the reminder on the time change.
October 31st, 2009 at 2:14 am
28 points?
once upon a time I would take that bet. not anymore. dunno who going
show up at the game today.
October 31st, 2009 at 2:16 am
only twenty errors?
i was just learning to forget about it.
October 31st, 2009 at 2:18 am
but, i forgive quickly.
"be prepared to witness an upset tomorrow."
October 31st, 2009 at 2:24 am
watchin da refffn last nite's kahuku castle game,
dat was a reffin shame.
October 31st, 2009 at 2:25 am
maybe we get some regular WAC refs tonight, even out da odds.
October 31st, 2009 at 2:30 am
back from donut run, won 5 bucks on v slots
Good Omen? or just 5 bucks?
October 31st, 2009 at 2:32 am
ahem,
you notice how Gov. Arnold Schwatz
wen tell off da Cali Assembly guy? da Ammiano guy? LD and they called the Gov. on it, the letter with the 
sidewayz tell em off kinda language by Arnold? 
did any of you see the Guvenatah cry? he wen ad lib.
he wen
he wen look da tv right in da eye and neva blink. 
smirk.
das my kinda leader.
sit around naked and smoke cigars. 
and blow da odda guy up!
i would vote for him with a 28 point spread.
October 31st, 2009 at 2:36 am
wit 5 extra bucks you can go Ozen tonight.
October 31st, 2009 at 2:42 am
5 buck bot the donuts and a paper, brok again
October 31st, 2009 at 2:51 am
before i hit the sack....
the embattled captain stood his ground, he realized it was all on him. no back door exit, no blaming second lieutenants, no excuses. he had to lead the company.out of the danger zone.
with that in mind, next year started yesterday, coach. show me some cajones. i know you're tough; show me you're tough. talk like you're tough. and smart. lead my Warriors!
Go Warriors.
October 31st, 2009 at 2:52 am
good nite Tsaikos.
October 31st, 2009 at 2:55 am
good morning Tsaikos,
Warriors need to show up and man up and take care of Nevada's QB once and for all. make him a kadoosh mannequin.
going to be 48 degrees in Missoula today with 25k rabid Grizzly fans....mrs. bulla would not allow me to make and bring my coveted t-shirt "Muck Fontana' on the front. i figured if it worked for Boise, what the heck???
congrats to kahuku and the donkeys, good wins last night, thought both games were very good. if kahuku didn't have that transfer kicker from FL, it would have been a different story.
GO WARRIORS
GO WILDCATS (X2)
October 31st, 2009 at 3:39 am
BHF2,
Current location is Okinawa. WX forecast is scattered T-storms AM, and T-storms plus much rain in the PM. Hi-79, Lo-72. No can paddle tomorrow. Bummaz.
October 31st, 2009 at 4:18 am
Ferd's article mentions that the spread is now up to 28.5...this would be a great upset if UH can win today.
I'd like to see the D force 4 turnovers and UH turn each into TDs (28 points right there).
I'd like to see the O score a TD every time they get into the end zone. UH is one of the better teams in the country in moving the ball on offense if you go by yards or passing stats, but the worst in the red zone. Hopefully the coaches have a different scheme and the players execute it.
I'd like to see UH get an early lead and force Nevada to pass. Slow down the Nevada running game enough so that the offense can build a lead that forces Nevada to go away from the run.
October 31st, 2009 at 4:35 am
Good Morning Tsaiko Nation ! GOT my BLACK Road Warrior shirt on and READY to see this 5 game losing streak come to an END !
Fright Night is here and it's time for the Warriors to do some HEAVY trick or treat on some wolf pack salami "SUSHI" style !
I am hoping that we don't get blown out and just compete Hawaii COMPETE ! Take NO prisoners and celebrate a TEAM victory as
that is what it is going to take to WIN in cold freeze Nevada !
We are DUE as I know everyone on this BLOG is ready to cheer, stomp, yell and WILL our boys to VICTORY !
The time has come to STAND up and be counted for as I am on the bus
ready and willing to STOP the running game of Nevada and steer the throwing game of the "RUN N SHOOT" to high gear and burn baby burn !

October 31st, 2009 at 5:02 am

Have a GREAT day folks as I am off to play my 4.5 Tennis game in Gardena and then to Magic's 24r hr fitness in which I OWN the gym just killing these young cats with my 51 year old LEGEND game.
Dominated yesterday as I scored, "D" anybody up and ran the court to perfection. Won ALL four games FULL COURT !
When I left players came up to me and said "MAN I want to be like you when I get your age, how do you do it "Rainbow Legend" ?
My only answer was "it's in the guava" young man in the guava !

Duffer,
You had to go to another T-gate at 4A (parking lot). May have
misunderstood you.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:26 am
My dream football date would be sitting with Mrs A-House, Midori, uhfan808, PP, LizK, Kymry, and Mrs Bulla. Off course I'd have a pair of ear plugs and some medication.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:27 am

October 31st, 2009 at 7:36 am
Good morning!
Let's hope the Warriors go all out and score big. No conservative calls, cause Nevada can rack up the points fast. Gotta try to get a head start and keep that head start.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:36 am
Whitey,
he doesn't listen to me. I had to pay a "swing coach" to tell hm the same thing i've been telling him all these years. Go figure!
October 31st, 2009 at 7:38 am
assume ST has gone to the stadium to tailgate with our boosters. ST, cover your head, otherwise cold will freeze brain.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:38 am

October 31st, 2009 at 7:39 am
Aloha Kakahiaka!!!
Hoping the Warriors have a good game today. Minimize mistakes that they should have learned from. Maintain contain.
Might see some of you guys if I walk over from King St. early enough.

Thanks for the link. The tradition continues with many Hawaii players on this year's squad...up to 54 consecutive winning seasons now.
What a way to end the article though!
October 31st, 2009 at 7:42 am

Thanks for arranging the Pearl Harbor tour with Stanford yesterday. Beautiful day to be out on the water.
Mahalo for procuring the second bike! Did they take the first one on this trip?
What were you saying yesterday about Na Koa membership?
Esme & out....gotta go s & d slugs, or at least water the lizards...
October 31st, 2009 at 8:05 am

koakane,
Wish we could join you folks but....
It's D3football central at home today. Trying to follow how the seedings might end up; Selection Sunday still 2 weeks away but trying to make educated guesses after today's game so can make travel plans.
Will be cheering for Warriors from home today.
October 31st, 2009 at 8:12 am

I'll be heading for the ship with mom immediately after the game so won't be on the blog until I get on board and buy some satellite internet minutes. This is the time an iPhone or similar--or wireless telephone modem card like ST's is really nice. I usually can't connect to free wifi unless I go ashore somewhere.
I have not left the ship on two previous Hawaii cruises...
I will try to post my impressions and the environment of this 7-day Hawaii cruise. On board, NCL America is different from most other cruises...but it's been 3 years since I was last on this ship. Expect less cruise director run activities since we are in port everyday...no sea days...and most people go ashore. We overnight in Maui and Nawiliwili...doesn't this stir the imagination if we had a bunch of Tsai-kos aboard?
GO WARRIORS!
October 31st, 2009 at 8:30 am
d1, you absolutely right on iowa game officiating. they know that if iowa loses, then it has absolutely no chance for the title game. all the previous replays show that the officials were wrong in their call, but they said they were correct. i would not be surprised if the indiana coach calls the officials a bunch of jackasses after the game.
October 31st, 2009 at 8:31 am
Smooth Sailing, SteveM and Mom!!!
October 31st, 2009 at 8:33 am
Let's hope Anasia will provide the mana / charm to break the streak. And if Indiana can take care of business, why can't we?
Go Warriors!
October 31st, 2009 at 8:43 am
Im stuck at work today. I wish the game was on ESPN360 today but it isnt. Gonna have settle for the audio feed. I'll tell you this though, ESPN360 looks great when you have a fiber optic network at work.
October 31st, 2009 at 8:44 am
Oh boy...Iowa takes the lead
October 31st, 2009 at 8:46 am
if we play a big 10 team in the future, we don't need to use their officials. their officials are worse than the wac. so is the sec. now when wisconsin comes here and if we are using big 10 officials, uh has to play 11 against 12. no sympathy for the big 10. they bunch of crybabies.
October 31st, 2009 at 8:50 am
going to darkside to watch the game. have a safe halloween and may you get a lot of presents from the great pumpkin.
October 31st, 2009 at 8:58 am
Sail on SteveM...wish I could join you. I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay waiting for the SupahFreak to come back to pick me.
October 31st, 2009 at 9:04 am
Just got back from Costco.....and I must say that in terms of overall congestion, the Pentagon City location is heads and shoulders worse than the Iwilei location. 20 minutes just to get into the parking lot, not enough carts, choke people.
Too bad this is the only one inside the beltway. Looks like my next Costco run will be at one of the locations outside of the beltway somewhere in the suburbs if I want some space.
With regards to football, too bad no ESPN360 for this game. Gonna have to listen to the online 1420AM feed.
October 31st, 2009 at 9:18 am
Go Warriors!!!
October 31st, 2009 at 9:24 am
Although I am an Ohio St. fan, i was hoping NaMaSu would put up a better showing than they did today. They actually looked great in the 1st quarter, then the wheels came off. Reminds me of Hawaii. Go Warriors! Take care of the football and be in the game til the end! Maybe... get chance!
October 31st, 2009 at 9:31 am
I KNOW they can do it!
October 31st, 2009 at 10:00 am
Moniz is looking pretty crisp from the get-go! Taylor gotta make those grabs.
October 31st, 2009 at 10:01 am
If UH doesn't self-destruct they are capable of an upset
October 31st, 2009 at 10:02 am
Of course no sooner I say that and there's a false start
October 31st, 2009 at 10:02 am
Red Zone TD.
October 31st, 2009 at 10:02 am
.....and then a TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Moniz looking great!!!
October 31st, 2009 at 10:03 am
Auryte Moniz / Pilares
October 31st, 2009 at 10:05 am
That's more like it. Alright Warriors. Now the D needs to get a big stop.
October 31st, 2009 at 10:05 am
This is how we should always start a game, take the ball and shove it down the opponents throat.
Quiet the crowd right down.
October 31st, 2009 at 10:06 am
Nice D on first down!
October 31st, 2009 at 10:07 am
Great Opening drive; scripted maybe?
October 31st, 2009 at 10:07 am

Give me that KOOL AID!!!
October 31st, 2009 at 10:12 am
WOW
October 31st, 2009 at 10:12 am
Does Taylor have some jets or waht??
October 31st, 2009 at 10:13 am
Moniz is on fire!!! Receivers are on fire!!! Go Warriors!!!
October 31st, 2009 at 10:13 am
Oh yeah. You aint catching Jovonte Taylor. Come on defense. Let's stop em again.
October 31st, 2009 at 10:14 am
Gotta stop the running game!
October 31st, 2009 at 10:15 am
Howzit Tsaiko Nation!
WOW!! 14-0 --- Shades of Washington State!
Okay, DEFENSE!! It's on you guys now. KUPA'A!!
October 31st, 2009 at 10:15 am
Nevada countering with the ground and pound
October 31st, 2009 at 10:18 am
10 yard penatly nullifies a nevada TD, it's lke we're playing opposites today
October 31st, 2009 at 10:22 am
Answer back.... get back to 2 TD lead.
October 31st, 2009 at 10:22 am
I'll take the over, Alex.
October 31st, 2009 at 10:22 am
Man Nevada is just pounding the ball down our throats. Our offense needs to keep the our D off the field or they are going to be winded.
October 31st, 2009 at 10:22 am
too easy
October 31st, 2009 at 10:23 am
Answer that score!
October 31st, 2009 at 10:24 am
GO WARRIORS!!!!!!
October 31st, 2009 at 10:24 am
I just came home from an errand, but if no one has mentioned it, the game in online.

October 31st, 2009 at 10:24 am
Just keep scoring, we can win
October 31st, 2009 at 10:25 am
Like Konaboy said, Warriors cannot self-destruct.
October 31st, 2009 at 10:25 am
Hawaii's penalties are already starting to stack up. Mack's gotta get control of that.
October 31st, 2009 at 10:27 am
Moniz releasing much earlier. Not waiting to long.
October 31st, 2009 at 10:30 am
Come on, DLine!
October 31st, 2009 at 10:30 am
mac=no balls *sigh*
October 31st, 2009 at 10:32 am
It seems like the DE line up too inside, no outside containment.
October 31st, 2009 at 10:35 am
Well, 1st qtr thoughts... I think only 1 dropped pass? thats a big improvement, Moniz looks great, seems way more comfortable and his release is quick, accuracy gets an A. 4 penalties is too much though. D played decent, but looks like they will have their hands full...
October 31st, 2009 at 10:36 am
OOOhh that looked like a forward lateral, but we'll take that fumble.
October 31st, 2009 at 10:37 am
replay looks close but too me that looks like a forward pass. But maybe not indisputable?
October 31st, 2009 at 10:38 am
If it was a forward pass, was there a blocker downfield?
October 31st, 2009 at 10:39 am
Another great series for the D, we gotta get another TD.
October 31st, 2009 at 10:40 am
98 yards to go.
October 31st, 2009 at 10:44 am
I like it!
October 31st, 2009 at 10:44 am
THank you UH Special teams!!! Huge Nevada turnover. Go Warriors!!
October 31st, 2009 at 10:44 am
Don't know why Moniz doesn't throw to Salas on short yardage
October 31st, 2009 at 10:45 am
what happened to the play calling?
at leastb we got the ball back!
October 31st, 2009 at 10:46 am
Dang!
October 31st, 2009 at 10:46 am
*sigh* penalties still a problem
October 31st, 2009 at 10:48 am
I say go for it, you gotta mek strong in these situations!!
October 31st, 2009 at 10:49 am
Mack, Go for it!!!
October 31st, 2009 at 10:49 am
Why do we have to call a time out to decide to go for the first on 4th down? That decision should have been made after the 3rd down play was called.
October 31st, 2009 at 10:52 am
they didn't pick up the blitz, D-time!
October 31st, 2009 at 10:52 am
Ka toosh!
October 31st, 2009 at 10:53 am
D4mn! 2 great plays for naught
October 31st, 2009 at 10:53 am
Gotta give Nevada credit on that 3rd down conversion, that was a mean grab.
October 31st, 2009 at 10:57 am
Thank goodness Nevada just shot themselves in the foot with that holding penalty, Hawaii did not have their stuff together on that play (coaches?!?), andCcolin just showed why he's so lethal.
October 31st, 2009 at 11:02 am
Dare say...rhythm?
October 31st, 2009 at 11:02 am
Good pass protection
October 31st, 2009 at 11:06 am
Come on Warriors!
October 31st, 2009 at 11:09 am
Let the punter punt
October 31st, 2009 at 11:10 am
13-21-233-2-0.....who woulda thought Moniz' line woulda looked like that at this point?
October 31st, 2009 at 11:12 am
The D-line can't shed the blocks
October 31st, 2009 at 11:12 am
found the game on channelsurfing dot net, but man the graphics are killing me.
October 31st, 2009 at 11:13 am
October 31st, 2009 at 11:15 am
djmitcho:
I think the video graphics is the Nevada jumbotron that would be seen as if you were actually at the game in Reno.
October 31st, 2009 at 11:17 am
dang it...int
October 31st, 2009 at 11:18 am
CRW, yeah...it's bugging the crap out of me..but hey free game
October 31st, 2009 at 11:20 am
Horrible d by uh.
October 31st, 2009 at 11:22 am
Gotta rock 'em back on their heels....
October 31st, 2009 at 11:25 am
What happened to the team that was playing in the first quarter? This is a totally different UH team here in the 2nd Q
October 31st, 2009 at 11:27 am
Regroup.
October 31st, 2009 at 11:30 am
Moniz: 15-26 234 2-1

October 31st, 2009 at 11:32 am
Nice preview segment of Wahine Basketball. Lookin forward to my first year as a season ticket holder!
October 31st, 2009 at 11:35 am
The grass is green... In case anyone didn't notice.
October 31st, 2009 at 11:37 am
Halftime adjustments will decide this game! The game is much closer than Nevada hoped and the Warriors need a good start to grab the momentum back.
The first 2 drives by each time will show who adjusted best and will probably determine who wins this game. I hope that things go the Warriors way today.
The D needs to stop this first drive to start the half...some mistakes by Nevada like they have made in the first half (bad snap, penalty, turnover) would be nice too.
October 31st, 2009 at 11:40 am
Go Warriors!
October 31st, 2009 at 11:43 am
For the 6th game in a row... will the lack of motivation and adjustment kill us again????????
October 31st, 2009 at 11:44 am
What happened to Moniz? First Quarter he looks like Colt Brennan and now he looks like a fourth stringer.
He misses wide open Salas , Pilares, Taylor etc, Throws unnecessary interceptions and why throw these greedy downfield passes if you're off by 15 yards? It seems, all of a sudden, Moniz forgot his reads?
Second Quarter offense, mainly Moniz, is costing us the lead and probably the game. I hope his concussion is not still affecting him, I hope they didn't rush him back..
Well, at least for the first Quarter we looked like the old Warriors, there's hope yet.
October 31st, 2009 at 11:44 am
Scoreboard Update:

October 31st, 2009 at 11:47 am
WARRIORS!
IMUA!
October 31st, 2009 at 11:47 am
We squandered two touch downs in the fist half, the only way we have a chance is playing from ahead, well....
October 31st, 2009 at 11:48 am
3 and out....
3 and out....
3 and out....
October 31st, 2009 at 11:48 am
FloridaTed,
I think that I counted at least 2 drops by one particular receiver, which doesn't help Moniz.
October 31st, 2009 at 11:50 am
We need a play on D. We also need oxygen!
October 31st, 2009 at 11:53 am
Good D!!!
October 31st, 2009 at 11:55 am
I gave up watching the score board feed. Very annoying graphics and angles.
October 31st, 2009 at 11:57 am
Torres is out?
Uh-oh.
Come on Kealoha! Hang on to the ball!!!
October 31st, 2009 at 11:57 am
Nice pass play...throw and catch
October 31st, 2009 at 11:59 am
Why is he still in? Is he that indispensible to the OL? Playing like he did last year.
October 31st, 2009 at 12:01 pm
...nothing like getting catching tips from the Conditioning Coach!
October 31st, 2009 at 12:01 pm
.....then again, he was a pretty good receiver.
October 31st, 2009 at 12:01 pm
Oh, my.
October 31st, 2009 at 12:03 pm
is there a backup punter?
October 31st, 2009 at 12:07 pm
No points on the first 2 Nevada drives is a great thing!
October 31st, 2009 at 12:08 pm
love the way we're fighting! GO WARRIORS!
October 31st, 2009 at 12:11 pm
INT in the end zone...#$%^
October 31st, 2009 at 12:11 pm
Navy in a dog fight. Navy leading 20-24 late 4Q. amazing they can even compete against Temple. Temple's TE outweighs any player on the Navy team. Nonetheless, great coaching. Not sure if they can pull it out - Temple is a very good team.
October 31st, 2009 at 12:11 pm
Aloha everyone! Oops, maybe I should have waited. (int).
Just finished with last client and happy to see the Warriors are playing well.
Hope everyone is having a great Halloween.
October 31st, 2009 at 12:11 pm
Arrrrrrggggggggggg!
October 31st, 2009 at 12:12 pm
Go Warr...no no nooooooo!!!
October 31st, 2009 at 12:13 pm
End-zone pick has gotta be deflating. Only adds to our already-horrid red-zone stats.
October 31st, 2009 at 12:14 pm
October 31st, 2009 at 12:16 pm
Good line, ". . . 25-yards and a vapor trail."
October 31st, 2009 at 12:16 pm
28 unanswered points.
Dang.
October 31st, 2009 at 12:19 pm
Nice, Alex!
Leave him in!!!
October 31st, 2009 at 12:21 pm
Do we have to bypass the red-zone just in order to score?
October 31st, 2009 at 12:25 pm
I don't know if UH can catch up by kicking FGs...
October 31st, 2009 at 12:25 pm
Still only 2 points in the 3rd!!!
October 31st, 2009 at 12:25 pm
And missing a FG is even worse.
October 31st, 2009 at 12:26 pm
Dang. This is disheartening.
October 31st, 2009 at 12:26 pm
mac, mac,mac
why a fg after that time out
October 31st, 2009 at 12:29 pm
the decision to kick was obvious. why waste a timeout?
October 31st, 2009 at 12:29 pm
Fourth quarter comeback...here we go.

October 31st, 2009 at 12:45 pm
Red zone TD!
October 31st, 2009 at 12:45 pm
Oh my! Touchdown!
(watch the game)
October 31st, 2009 at 12:45 pm
TD!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 31st, 2009 at 12:45 pm
Escape from the "dead zone". Good job!
October 31st, 2009 at 12:45 pm
TD!!!! Our boys are fighting!!
October 31st, 2009 at 12:47 pm
Good job!!!! Here we go, the 4th quarter comeback continues.
October 31st, 2009 at 12:47 pm
Come on defense.
October 31st, 2009 at 12:47 pm
Go Warriors!
October 31st, 2009 at 12:49 pm
Offsides on kickoff coverage...when UH had gotten a touchback.
October 31st, 2009 at 12:50 pm
Our kicking game is pretty bad.
October 31st, 2009 at 12:50 pm
Horrible result on the squib kick...45 yard line for Nevada.
October 31st, 2009 at 12:51 pm
Does UA make bullet-proof cleats?
October 31st, 2009 at 12:51 pm
1st-and-25 now because of the chop block! The D has to stop Nevada now.
October 31st, 2009 at 12:53 pm
Well, 1st & 25 is basically gift wrapping a 3 and out to the D, and our D was no where to be found.....
October 31st, 2009 at 12:56 pm
the first defender to get into the backfield must go for Kapernic ...not the fb com'n warriors!
October 31st, 2009 at 12:57 pm
Game, for all intents and purposes, would be over if Nevada scores on this drive.
October 31st, 2009 at 1:00 pm
Block that FG!
October 31st, 2009 at 1:03 pm
We need another one play drive!
October 31st, 2009 at 1:10 pm
djmitcho,
Whitworth in the 3rd OT against PLU, 21-21.
Go Pirates!
October 31st, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Oh My wat an A$$
October 31st, 2009 at 1:12 pm
in spite of turnovers, second best played game of the year.
slowly but surely team is improving
October 31st, 2009 at 1:12 pm
Lots of positives to build on.
negatives that can be corrected (I hope)
October 31st, 2009 at 1:13 pm
rasu: I know you're upset with Coach Mac, but really, calling him an A$$ is over the line. I mean you already called him a eunuch today. Enough is enough.
October 31st, 2009 at 1:13 pm
I heard that Jim Donovan is going to pay the extra $$$ to put Coach Mack in First Class on the flight back home.
Reason: He doesn't deserve to be put in COACH.
October 31st, 2009 at 1:14 pm
I'll never watch a JUMBO-TRON only game again
October 31st, 2009 at 1:17 pm
Rasu - that was TERRIBLE - I mean, I know it was only $5, but man, half the time, we couldn't tell where the ball was.
AND CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY WE CALLED A TIMEOUT IN THE FINAL SECONDS OF THE GAME?
October 31st, 2009 at 1:20 pm
djmitcho,
Pirates hold Lutes on 4th down in 3OT to win by 24-21! Congratulations!
October 31st, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Some positive things! Yahoo!!!
If we can stop hurting ourselves with stupid penalties that would be a great thing! The offense continues to move the ball. They need to not practice at Damien's 80-yard field. D is starting to find themselves.
October 31st, 2009 at 1:28 pm
I was against the hiring of mac two years ago and my comments on the blog at that time reflected my thoughts.
it is extremely unfortunate that i still feel this way.
but, until the day he improves or quits, i will support the team anyways.
being that i am one of the kool-aid drinkers, i'm here for the long run
*sigh*
October 31st, 2009 at 1:29 pm
Updating the stat:
3rd quarter scoring this season:
UH 0, Idaho 7
UH 0, Fresno State 14
UH 0, La Tech 14
UH 0, UNLV 7
UH 0, Washington State 7
UH 2, BSU 10
UH 0, Nevada 7
Total is now 66-2 against D-IA competition.
So, the trend goes like this:
2006: +106
2007: +14
2008: -56
2009: -64 (66-2 over 6 games)
October 31st, 2009 at 1:30 pm
InLV,
Salty, eh? Next time, take the points!
October 31st, 2009 at 1:30 pm
That should be over 7 games, not 6 games...but it really doesn't matter.
October 31st, 2009 at 1:34 pm
Damien has a 80 yard field?
Guess that explains the last 40 years in FB.
Thats like a school with no girls..............oh, that too.
October 31st, 2009 at 1:34 pm
D has outscored the O in the 3rd quarter!
October 31st, 2009 at 1:36 pm
rasu . . .
Let me tell you how bad it was without girls on campus. GG's mom was the only woman on campus when I was there.
Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Nah, she was really a nice woman.
October 31st, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Next week we will win
Pomai
UH 35-Ust 13
October 31st, 2009 at 1:40 pm
Wafan,
So ahem, uuum, cough, is this where all the hotel street talent wen' graduate?
October 31st, 2009 at 1:40 pm
At least it appears that SMU will make it to the Hawaii Bowl, which should help the attendance. If the attendance drops too low, the Hawaii Bowl could end so SMU's win today is good for Hawaii and UH.
Bo Mitchell got injured last week so JJ put in a true freshman at QB and it looks like Bo Mitchell might not get his job back. Until last week Padron was going to redshirt, so things changed in a hurry.
Padron had to enter the game against nationally ranked Houston on the road and completed 11 out of 16 passes for 141 yards and a TD with no INTs. Not bad for a true freshman throwing away his redshirt status.
Padron started today at Tulsa and set a SMU record for passing yards in a first start. He was 20-30 for 354 yards, 2 TDs, and 0 INTs.
If UH doesn't make the Hawaii Bowl and any other C-USA team is there too, I worry that the attendance will be horrible and the bowl game's status could be in danger...especially if UH doesn't make the bowl again the following year with the brutal schedule.
October 31st, 2009 at 1:44 pm
The only potential flaw in that plan is that SMU is tied for first in their division of C-USA (they already beat both teams that played in the C-USA championship game last season), so there is a chance that they could go to the Liberty Bowl and a team like East Carolina or Tulsa would be in the Hawaii Bowl...
October 31st, 2009 at 1:48 pm
Garret,
I don't JJ will be any kind of a draw for the H Bowl
"Taps" playing in the background
October 31st, 2009 at 1:53 pm
rasu begasu,
talking stink about the coach
"mac has no balls"
lol
mac is an ass
what a hypocrite
because he's the first to cut others down when they make an opinion on the coach
yep first class all the way
this is your #1 tsaiko, rah, rah
October 31st, 2009 at 1:54 pm
"Best" loss of the year?
After the 54-9 car-jacking last week. I'll be able to sleep much better tonight.
Offensive line had a pretty good game against those hyped up DEs for Nevada, I never noticed those two all game long. We yielded one sack, BUT... BUT, the holdings and the false starts might as well count as sacks.
Redzone... Redzone... Redzone... WTF?!?!?!?!?!?! Yikes! Same ole same ole... and sans wildcat with Funaki today.
Nice to see Paipai and Fonoti get some pressure in Nevada's backfield. While it was few and far in between the effort may show some improvement on the physical status of these two as they cannot be 100% at this point.
So Nevada was giving upwards of 25+ points huh? SO WHO LOST MONEY??????????????????????????????????????????:lol:
... GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!! ALL OF YOU!!!!!!! AINOKEA WHO YOU, BUT GOOD FOR YOU FOR PUTTING MONEY AGAINST HAWAII'S TEAM!!!!!!!! G-O-O-D FOR YOU!!!!!!!! 
My concern for the rest of the season remains in correcting past mistakes, while new ones pop up. How many times did we have to correct turnover issues. Today the offense didn't fumble balls, BUT next week will they regress again? Today the offensive line didn't yield more than one sack, but had oodles of discpline problems. Next week, will the false starts and the holdings cease, but will the sacks return?
So far, we've been presented with issues to correct. The staff and players worked on correcting those certain issues on a game to game basis, but OTHER issues keep poping up. Seems like the ole case of a bandage versus corrective surgery.
Overall, we did ok for a loss. No loss is acceptable, however, a complete blowout isn't acceptable either.
KEEP YOUR HEADS UP WARRIOR FAITHFUL!!!!!!!! WE FOUGHT TODAY DESPITE OURSELVES AND ALMOST TOOK IT TO THE WIRE!!!!!
October 31st, 2009 at 1:58 pm
lol
October 31st, 2009 at 2:05 pm
Said it before and I'll say it again.
Colin Kaepernick in Florida, would make Tim Tebow's rushing and passing stats look childish.
October 31st, 2009 at 2:06 pm
We stay competitive in beginning but we need to also finish strong. Offense did a GREAT job!
Our defense still cannot stop the run and I can't see them doing anything between now and the end of the year that will allow them to....so hopefully we can force teams to pass.
Why is Kia still playing on the field? I mean you figure after the *3rd* penalty he would have been pulled....According to Curran, Kia is the "BEST" guy we have for the job...........that is one of the saddest things i have ever heard. =(
October 31st, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Green Eyes,
I may cut down the coach like you do.
But unlike you, I am a fan and will cheer on the tean no matter what the score.
Also unlike you, I do not hide behind several user names and snipe at just anybody that riles me.
I do admit to pointing out people like you and and several of your other
names that you use who feed off of the true fans woes or disapointments and in fact seem to take a perverse joy in rubbing it in and pretend to be hurt when rebuked.
I say to you as a fellow human being, therapy may help you in your twisted sense of reality that you are forced to live in each and evry tortured day.
Medication also may due wonders to your chemically imbalanced brain
which would allow you a normal interaction with the general populace.
Or just maybe, just maybe, allbyou need is a case of EXTENZ
Aloha
October 31st, 2009 at 2:12 pm
Kaepernick would be a nice receiver for Tebow to throw to. However, to say that as a QB he'd blow away Tebow stats, now that is pretty childish.
October 31st, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Not "childish" just his opinion. who knows? maybe valid too.
Whats childish? constantly changing user names to pretend to be more than one person or making doo doo in your pants.
Now thats childish AND funnt.
October 31st, 2009 at 2:21 pm
sorry for all the typos today
fingers too fat.
October 31st, 2009 at 2:29 pm
rasu begasu
continue making shame of yourself
you're tsaikos admire you
October 31st, 2009 at 2:31 pm
rasu begasu,
hmm. any second lizk or kokea should be coming to your rescue
October 31st, 2009 at 2:39 pm
there is no way Kaepernick is even close to being comparable to Tebow. Please dont even go there..
October 31st, 2009 at 2:39 pm
Huh? you best learn your place and listen to the beloved rasu begasu. Only long-time Tsai-kos are allowed to talk smack on this blog.
October 31st, 2009 at 2:43 pm
KAZZ #270: RIGHT ON!!! With you all the way.
October 31st, 2009 at 2:44 pm
Wasn't Pat Hill interested at one time in the HC position at UH??
October 31st, 2009 at 2:45 pm
I'm happy with the score.....at least UH wasn't humiliated.
October 31st, 2009 at 2:46 pm
my bad. I should know better than to take a statement from Kazz seriously. Kaepernick better than Tebow??? Huh? Bwahahahahaha
October 31st, 2009 at 2:50 pm
Why not? Surrounded by all the top notch athletes last season that Tebow had at his disposal, a better pure runner and a better passer in Kaepernick would have done pretty well for himself.
October 31st, 2009 at 2:51 pm
It's very difficult to understand Kirk Herbstreit at this time. He should remove Matt Barkley's **** out of his mouth before speaking.
October 31st, 2009 at 2:56 pm
How long ago was this? Well he'd feel right at home since he'd be used to the "Fire Coach (insert name)" statements here as he's been getting them in So-Cal.
October 31st, 2009 at 3:03 pm
RE: False starts and holding.
Those two DEs for Nevada had some decent stats coming into this game. No doubt the offensive line was warned about this.
I'd assume that when one's confidence isn't at an all time high, that individual will be more likely to commit mental errors (i.e. false starts). Once you commit that you get beat and they result in the holdings...
Granted there was ONE instance in which one of the false start calls looked a bit questionable, I'll take the referee's word that they were legit.
October 31st, 2009 at 3:06 pm
Kap doesn't even come close to the passion and leadership as Tebow has for the game. not even close! He maybe a little bit faster but there is no way he is near the same caliber a player. I'm not too sure if he is even a better passer. Tebow's decision making speaks for itself. I'm not too sure that Kap's throwing motion would even make into a SEC starting lineup.
Kap is a very great athlete but I've seen him struggle in too many games. He is a streaky player but when he gets it going he can get it going. But not in the SEC
October 31st, 2009 at 3:07 pm
Kazz,
Actually, I agree with postmanke. Kaepernick is a little thin to take the hits he would take running a Tebow-like offense in the SEC.
Kaepernick's stats against higher level competition:
Notre Dame: 39 yards rushing, 12/23 passing for 149 yards, 0 TDs, 2 INTs
Missouri: 59 yards rushing, 17/28 passing for 146 yards and a TD
Nothing like his stats against the WAC or bad teams like UNLV.
October 31st, 2009 at 3:07 pm
What is Mac going to do with our punter??
October 31st, 2009 at 3:10 pm
postmanke,
Maybe let him kick it straight instead of forcing a first-year punter to try to kick for the corners?
October 31st, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Yeah I say let him boom it.. if he out kicks his coverage, he out kicks he coverage.. these 10 yard punts has to stop.
October 31st, 2009 at 3:17 pm
Well, it was a better game than last week. Some improvement. The penalties kill us. It shows that we don't have the depth when we can't pull #77 out for a while. Go, Alex Green! Lewis had some good tackles.
Next! GO WARRIORS!!!
Prayers for The Beast.
October 31st, 2009 at 3:25 pm
With the facility advances at the University of Florida athletic department, the coaching staff in Florida, and the athletes on the Florida football team, a kid with the capabilities of Kaepernick would have flourished down there.
That's all.
October 31st, 2009 at 3:29 pm
We need to get Alex Green 15-20 carries/game.
October 31st, 2009 at 3:29 pm
MUCH better game- awesome moments!
What happened to the Beast????

Padron sets SMU freshman record
October 31, 2009 6:10 PM
Posted by ESPN.com’s Graham Watson
SMU true freshman quarterback Kyle Padron has the Mustangs still angling for a Conference USA West title.
Padron completed 20-of-30 passes for 354 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-13 win over Tulsa. His 354 passing yards was the most by a SMU quarterback in his first start.
Padron was named the starter earlier this week after staring quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell was ruled out because of a dislocated shoulder and a partially torn labrum. Padron had played against Houston last week after Mitchell went down.
The Mustangs are now tied atop Conference USA West with Houston, however, the Cougars hold the tiebreaker with a win over the Mustangs last week.
It’s amazing how quickly coach June Jones has been able to turn this team around and make it a formidable squad in Conference USA.

Took an hour to get on the Nevada website, I knew I shouldn't have used "gowarriors" as my password.
I thought I saw a lot of positives today. Moniz has a lot of potential and I would be surprised if Alex Green doesn't start from now on. I don't why he can create yards while LWJ can't.
The D had a nice game for the most part.
Would like to see better game management on the couching side. If they had gotten the FG they would have had a chance that last drive.

If we have a better running back than Alex Green, I would like to know who that is.
October 31st, 2009 at 4:05 pm
Whatever it is the coaches see in LWJ does not show at game time. Seems to be to tentative. Green, on the other hand . . .

I think this is the first game in a long while the Warriors have not sustained any major injuries.
Could this be the turning point?

Only d1's Wildcats win today :0)
Warriors and Wildcats (the beast) lost today.
Wildcats lose to Montana in Missoula, whew, some officiating that would make even a blind man shudder, but we lost 31-10, cannot beat the darlings of the big sky conference.....
the beast was double teamed chopped block again, this time the left knee, not as bad as the rt knee....he's just very upset. had a chance to play DE today, and every time he was the backside pursuit, a couple of tackles, a great goal line stand, 1st and goal on the 4 yd line and Montana went for it on 4th down.....stopped!
bye week, heal up, MRI monday, fitted for a brace on that knee also...NAU, in 2 weeks, he'll be back.
:(:(
frustrated for him......don't mind getting beat, but don't cheat.......whew.
Warriors had the lead I read....and then Nevada came back.......ouch
congrats d1 and #2 son......good job.

Oregon upsets USC, 47-20. Ducks had 600+ yards of offense.
October 31st, 2009 at 5:54 pm
Awwwwwwwwwww Shucks.
Watched the Oregon Coach only intensify from the second quarter on.
He had a plan, kept moving the offense along, was in total control of the game. and, he had the horses to pull it off. Masoli played great, their
coach was way better. Intense. Inspirational. I loved it. kept thinking about the Boise game a while ago, and how that man had a lot of class in handling his playmaker who stepped out of bounds at the end of Oregon BSU game. He didn't cry, he took care of business.
don't want to second guess why we called a time out at the very end of the game. don't want to second guess why we called that other time out. don't want to second guess the play calling in the third quarter.
don't want to second guess why Moniz's playmaking was not as spiffy in the third quarter. maybe inspiration has something to do with it.
SMU beat Tulsa. with a bunch of newbies.
I don't want to talk about it anymore. I would just be guessing.

My comment on Na Koa membership is a direction given to me by the memberhsip committee; join now and the membership is good for the rest of this season and 2010 as well.
HELP!!!!!
Anyone know what motorcycle club is running the Toys for Tots parade this year? The Warrior Football banquet (Sheraton Waikiki) had to be moved up on December 6 so as to not be in conflict with a WAC basketball game. We agree to move it up to the morning/early afternoon and then are told the parade is closing down Kalakaua. I want to contact the club and see if they will agree to move it up an hour so the paraqde will run 9:30 to 12:30.
Any Tsaikos in the know about the club?? Contacts for the club???
Please let me know asap.

I thought the D-line and LB couldn't shed their blocks to make tackles. D-end had no containment on the outside.
Let the punter PUNT!
Throw to Salas more on third down.
But what do I know, hey I'm a golfer, and a bad one to boot
October 31st, 2009 at 7:17 pm
didnwe have some tackling drills? Could have sorn I read that we went through that.
Well, season is almost over. what the heck. Maybe we can take from this year and do thngs better next year. Ummmm, football stuff like, blocking, tackling, knowing the count so less false starts, being less predictable, blocking, tackling, catching balls that hit your hands. you know, football 101 stuff.
here's antoher thought. since we can't really execue the offense quite like JJ, why not do something that may be different. you know, like have a tight end so we can block better when we actually run in the run & shoot.
Oh and before we start next year, be sure that ther is instilled and overall team pride and culture of team winning. Watching Boise, Oregon, Texas, teams with winning ways, you see that this was the initial block that went into the foundation of those teams.
there really needs to be a true exhibition of leadership for this to happen.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:19 pm
duffer:
had the same thought as 2009 has seen the Warrior's DEs near extinct in rushing and putting pressure on the QB.
is this intentional? part of a new defensive scheme?
Warrior Dline, for whatever reason, have tremendous difficulty sheding blocks by the Oline in nearly every game. same can be said of the LBs and CBs on running plays. i'm sure that they are taught to do it, but -----
BLIND refs don't help when they fail to call "holding" penalties by the opponents.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:23 pm
hey, duffer, maybe UH needs a "karate" or "judo" or "aikido" master be a guest instructors to show the moves necesary to BREAK the holding that's going on - they can practice during the off-season for next year!

Anyone remember that first Nevada 4th down attempt? Kaepernick never left the field after the failed 3rd down conversion, YET we sent out special teams unit on the field!!!!!!!
Luckily there was a holding call on Nevada because that play was converted.
My goodness....

Uhhh, what time did the Wahine game actually start? I turned the radio on around 5:50 and KKEA was broadcasting WOL vs HBA. I thought it started at 5?
October 31st, 2009 at 8:27 pm
For the first time in a while I wan't embarassed, frustrated, yes, but I could see us next year going from last to first, without straining my imagination,
Again, this game turned on five plays, drives me nuts, you put those five plays in our favor and we win. Every game it's always those darn five plays, with Colt and the Dread heads, those plays went in our favor.
I expect us to keep improving with each game from here on in and next year, we'll surprise a few people. Too bad we have to go to Boise, their psychadelic carpet is always worth 14 ponts for them.
October 31st, 2009 at 8:40 pm
Anybody know if the KS-St. Louis game is on radio somewhere? The listings don't show it.
October 31st, 2009 at 8:42 pm
Mr. Weir,
No. Thank you sir for your work with the football progam!
October 31st, 2009 at 9:01 pm
The Wahine volleyball match was moved back to 3 pm Hawai`i time. We missed it as well .
If I understand Don Weir's post #331 correctly, there are two football events in early December in addition to the Wisconsin game on December 5. At first, I assumed that the December 2nd Centennial Celebration Gala on December 2 was also the the Warrior Football banquet; however, now I see that the latter is a separate event.
Given the number of participants and the number of special duty police officers needed for crowd control, it may not be possible to change the time of the parade at this late date. This would be a good time to call upon folks who have some political connections with The Powers That Be including the Waikiki Improvement Association, the Managing Director's office, and state legislators.
Missed the original post with the information about Na Koa membership.What date did it appear?
Finally, I assume that the gambling interests took a huge dump on today's game given the spread. Any idea how much of that money is located here in Hawai`i and how much was placed in the the various gaming establishments in Reno and Las Vegas?
If I could have some reasonable, realistic, and accurate figures, I could then offer them in my testimony at the City Council's Executive Matters and Legal Affairs committee meeting next Wednesday when testifying in opposition to the resolution urging the Legislature to oppose legalized gambling.

re: Gambling Today's Game for Wussupdoc
Most places in Vegas lacked any line at all. There might have been an opening line of Neveda -25 but that quickly disappeared and the lines were deleted.
Even in Hawaii people found it difficult to find a house with a line to play (for fun). Needless to say lots of people actually SAVED money on this game and lucked out as many would have given the points and taken Neveda.
As too how much money is being "played" with for fun in Hawaii on this particular game is a tough question. I remember reading a "guesstimation" of how much money is gambled in Hawaii on sports and will try and look for the article.

James (Jesse) was excersing his free speech rights almost as loud as Koakane. I got an all day headache from doze 2 babooshkas! Way too much fun, hardly noticed the team loss. Too busy focusing on all the holding penalties the Refs seem to ignore against us. Denial maybe?
October 31st, 2009 at 11:37 pm
JJ at SMU went with true freshman quarterback today. He looked better than Mitchell. Maybe there will be a controversy when Mitchell comes back. After SMU got 2 consecutive false starts JJ got so excited he ran on the field and got an unsportsmanship penalty. JJ is sure rushing a lot at SMU. He had 41 attempts this game. And only 20 passing.

Better than taking the loss easy...haha jk.
Tell him not to worry about it, he has 2 more seasons to play and when u are down like this there is only one direction you can go. Things will hopefully get better, and if they dont the bright side is he got to start in Div-1 football when he was technically 3rd/4th string. Gotta just enjoy it.

Good Morning Tsaiko Nation, TOUGH loss as hopefully "WINS" will be due vs. Utah State and New Mexico State. Can not give up as the TEAM is hurting and they need ALL the support that they can get.
Season can be salvage with home wins as I will be in San Jose from Friday until that Sunday afternoon with Rhonda coming up with me. We are invited guests of Dr. Don Weir who I can't say enough superlatives to describe this GREAT gentlemen of leisure wealth and LOYALTY to the Warrior Football Team
Don is an ex-rainbow warrior and stellar wide out for the bows in the 70's as I came along in the mid 70's SO I don't find it as a coincidence in how we met but DESITINE to meet with our love and athletic background of playing for the rainbow warriors !
You could not ask for a better leader and person in Dr. Weir as he takes the lead role on so many occasions and make it happen in his support to the Warrior Football Team and ALL of UH athletics. His leadership in Na Koa will go in the right direction only because his COMPASSION and LOVE for Hawaii is the focal point for his existence as I urge ALL who may read my post to join him in support to Na Koa as he leads it to a STRONG support progam to our Warrior Football Team. In San Jose I will be staying at the Montgomery Hotel AND if any of you GREAT Tsaiko folks will be attending I will be HONORED to be in your prescence !
Finally to Duff, Dittohead, Warrior Mojo, Green Eyes, Kekoa and Las Vegas I want to say to you gentlemen that "I LOVE YOU ALL" as I will be praying that the misunderstandings and under tones that has happen will subside and that the true GREATNESS that you ALL have will come out as I respect ALL of you SO much as I have had the distinguish pleasure of hugging Las Vegas, Kekoa and would not let go Warrior Mojo when I met him in New Orleans.
DittoHead I enjoy reading your intelligence and duff I find your post's on the wsn insightful and objective reading kind sir. Green eyes ALL I can say is MAHALO for just sharing your thoughts and LOVE for the Warriors because initially my Hawaii friends that is why WE are all here is our LOVE for our young men who sweats and give out their HEARTS to play for Hawaii, your STATE, your TEAM !
To ERR is human, to FORGIVE is DEVINE Tsaiko Nation as we need to remember that in our daily lives and the people we may have had misunderstandings with as LIFE is not promise and I when my time comes I don't want to leave you knowing that I have had "ILL FEELINGS" with any one only because I want to see you in heaven and smile with you as we grace the gates together 'heart to God and hand to man".
Have a BLESSED Sunday good folks of Aloha State and MAHALO for what you do in embracing our "OHANA" together. Simply The Best, Better Then All The Rest" ! Vaya Con Dios ! Sincerely, RainbowCliff.
November 1st, 2009 at 1:51 am
rasubegasu, GOSH you have a GREAT name as I hope one day I may meet you as I enjoy your intelligence, humor and WONDERFUL support to our Warrior football team. I always enjoy coming to the Warrior Beat and reading SO many of you good folks in sightful thoughts and comments and YOU rasubegasu is right up there as I appreciate your GREATNESS sir wisdom of Hawaii Folk Lore.
Kazz, Florida Ted and Duffer ALWAYS a pleasure as when I read what you folks say I feel like I am in a unique time with the "GREATEST WRITERS" in the whole wide world as your keen insight to statement, purpose and goals are just one example of OUTSTANDING INTELLIGENCE that you have and show as this writer appreciates your thoughts and opinions as I wanted to share it with you as I don't get many opportunities to dialogue with my life here in Los Angeles and you good folks in Hawaii or for you Florida Ted in Florida.
Finally Florida Ted I thank GOD for you as I was so sad for your stroke that gave you a difficult time in your life as I was going through a TOUGH situation myself BUT I would join prayer with the other Tsaikos in that your health will get better and gosh darn it did ! I was so HAPPY to find out that you got better !
I have this gift for you that I have had for quite some time as if you may give me an address to send it to you it will express my GRATEFULNESS to your life and your wife who looked after you in your trying need. Thank you always Florida Ted as you are the WISDOM and CALMNESS to the Warrior Beat !
November 1st, 2009 at 2:00 am

Have a GREAT day as it is so long for now but NEVER forgotten !
November 1st, 2009 at 2:15 am
MONIZ,
You have been a great surprise to true Warrior fans across Hawaii and elsewhere. We see the potential for success. We know you see it also.
No worries sir!
November 1st, 2009 at 2:29 am
I'd like to see Coach Tormey with the responsibility of game clock management. Unless I've missed something, Coach Tormey is the only coach on our staff that has D1 NCAA head coaching experience.
Also, would like to see more from our "defensive coordinator" Cal Lee. As far as I have obeserved from last year, Cal Lee just seems like the LB coach still only with the DC title. Coach Mack says he (Cal Lee) and himself craft the defensive plan every week. However, still see Coach Mack speaking to the defense as if he's the titled DC.
I'd like to see Coach Mack allow more room for Cal Lee to make adjustments and calls on defense since that is his titled position on the staff, not sure if it would be better or worse, but overall it may free up Coach Mack to worry and focus more on game time management when necessary and crucial.

Good morning Tsaikos everywhere.
Bryant Moniz,
hats off to you! keep working at getting better, young man.
same to your teammates, my Wariors.
you guyz neva stink up da place!
No, you neva! I get hope we headed in the right direction.
Now, the miscuses from the paid decision makers. hmmm....
Go Warriors.
November 1st, 2009 at 4:24 am
I gonna say this...
at least our paid decision makers neva stink up the place yesterday.
they know who amongst them is not clicking, who is not making it at
the level they expect.
and by clicking, i mean not getting the most out of the particular Warriors
they have been assigned, or by the meshing of the various units. the coaches know what is happening.
I expect the UH Warrior professionals to stand up and be counted.
Hawaii deserves no less... I still get a headache.
November 1st, 2009 at 4:31 am
Dr. Don Weir, good job on you! good job on the vision from the Na Koa brain trusts.
btw, some ideas...
next year, how much extra going cost to "allow" students to storm the field like...Oregon, USC, Ohio St., Florida, S. Carolina, Navy, etc?
how would you get Aloha Stadium security mgt. to go take classes from stadium management types at those school stadiums? it just seems like
we could finer tune fan participation so that, win or lose, the stadium is filled, people get hope for a fine season. jmo.
November 1st, 2009 at 4:34 am
fan fun is not just a function of winning, having a great coach, rah rah.
fan fun starts with fan involvement with the team. the team no come say hi to the fans, no mo fan fun. the team is kept away from the fans, or the fans from the team, no mo fan fun.
top that with a junk record... you get the idea.
no need be one doctor to understand da ramifications.
now, we relying on each udda.
and picking on green eyes.
now i going rely on my udda fave team, da Redskins.
November 1st, 2009 at 4:47 am
bighilofan2,
The problem with letting people storm the field is that when they did that in 2007 some "fans" stole Warrior equipment like helmets that the team needs to play! UH had to beg for the equipment to be returned because the players needed the custom-fitted equipment to play the next game.
Lots of other schools let their fans storm the field and I never heard of equipment being stolen...
November 1st, 2009 at 4:49 am
Suck it up, Javonte! You can do it, yes you can!
November 1st, 2009 at 4:49 am
Green Eyes ~. Whoa pony horse! You better be careful what you say to me...or "Kokea." Go throw your tantrum on some other blog.
I don't recall seeing you step up to put your money where your mouth is in supporting UH sports! I don't recall seeing you donate time or money to the many worthwhile charities we all contribute to.
Talk is cheap. Show me your true colors. Show me something good. Ours are written in the archives of this blog, and what we've done in the community. We don't hide behind our blog names like you. Only cowards do that.
Any time you want to step out of the shadows and say something to me...you know where to find me. Otherwise, this is the last time I will waste my time addressing your petty little issues.
November 1st, 2009 at 4:51 am
Garrett,
burn me once, shame on you. burn me twice, shame on me.
that equipment stealing stuff, yup, get some creep peeps at the stadium. even on the blog. but now we know yesterday is no excuse for
toning down fan fun. jmo.
November 1st, 2009 at 4:54 am
bighilofan2,
You might like to know that the Texas football team *always* goes to the fan section in road games and sings their Alma Mater after the game. This is no matter if the team wins or loses. In 24 years that I've followed that team, I've never heard of the team not showing their appreciation of the fans and they always sing The Eyes of Texas after the game.
You might like to know that after SMU won at Tulsa, the entire team came over to the section where the SMU fans were and celebrated with them. The fans got photos and got to share in the moment, then the players went to the locker room.
It isn't a very long drive from Dallas to Tulsa, it isn't like the fans had to fly 3,000 miles to support the team, but the players still showed their appreciation of the support.
November 1st, 2009 at 4:56 am
bighilofan2,
I guess they could let the fans on the field if the stadium security and HPD was there to arrest anyone trying to steal Warrior equipment. They should publicize that they would be arresting any thieves and maybe that would serve as a deterrent.
November 1st, 2009 at 4:56 am
yu not going get a big 12th man unless you make the 12th man big.
and that includes effort by the coaches.... AND Aloha Stadium. I'm talking about a plan....
its always easier to just say no. Last nite, when Oregon beat USC, the security coulda kept the fans off the field. Oregon Security coulda taken
betta yet, Army security and Navy security could take lessons from Aloha Security. Condition orange. 
lessons from Aloha Security.

Bunch of us cheered our kids on yesterday. Win or lose, we know the extreme effort they make. Lots of mistakes made, but it wasn't the runaway the naysayers predicted.
Some of your personal favorites like Paipai & Jake
had their moments.
How about Mr. Weir? I really like his style! I want to get with you on that project Pomai brought up. We can piece it together at the next t-gate.

It looks like Nevada's players were talking before the game about how they needed to beat UH so that Nevada could play in the Hawaii Bowl...I don't know if they would be a good draw in Hawaii. But aside from UH I don't think any WAC team would be a good draw.

Get article by Mike Tsai today.
No one is arguing that Coach knows about the xxxs and ooos of football. But he can use help in other areas, where he is struggling. Like getting the players to interact with fans. He definitely can use help in this area. The conduct, walking away to the far away corner after the UNLV, spoke volumes to me. I was shocked.
If he wants a big 12th man, he's gotta do more to improve fan fun.
Thats not just my opinion, that is a fact. Since he's decided to be
responsible for fan fun too, he's got to get the team and fans more involved with each other. ESPECIALLY at Aloha Stadium, our home
field. ALSO at the away games. He better have a Big City Diner meeting with Keith Amemiya. His current marketing strategy and media publicist is not working, no sir it is not!

Good morning Kekoa.
hey, da poor toes [Morgado/Furtado/Silva/Moniz/Estes/Soares] repping, good, huh!

So, as I normally peruse my Sunday sports section of the Dallas Morning News, looking for college stats, etc., in particular the section under, "Notable Performers" which lists, (passing; rushing; recieving-stats), I noticed that Bryant Moniz, was noted for (374 yards-passing), this past weekend.....GREAT!!!, except this article list his school as, NEVEDA??!!!, instead of HAWAII...go ahead and rub salt in the wound.
By the way, the qb for Oregon,(Masoli), reminds me of our own Moniz, which just makes me think that the future looks very promising with Moniz at the controls.
It was said during the USC/OSU game that, Masoli was at onetime the 4th/5th string qb until injuries, etc., elevated him to the starting qb position. Sorta like Moniz, don't you think??....and both were transfers to boot.
Before I get forget.....Good morning all!!!

Positive thoughts for all the injured Warriors and 'Cats.
November 1st, 2009 at 5:43 am
Good morning Kekoa, hope all is well kind sir and that "JUMPER" can still go as that picture you had on the blog of you in your youthful days reminded me of "down town freddie brown" who lit it up just like you.
When I come back to Hawaii I would like to visit Hawaiian Homestead in Kapolei and your sub division Kau'pea and all the 8 communities in the Villages of Kapolei complex. I did my final field work assignment in the palolo playgrounds and had the TIME of my life with the many children who I embrace and harness my teaching skills which has allow me today the sucesses that I have reached at the Al Wooten Center in South Central Los Angeles.
When I reflect back on the ceremony that was given to me I look at HAWAII giving me opportunities of service to the community in which at an early age of 18-22 I went out and made my face available and gave my heart to many of your youthful organizations. Nuanu YMCA, Hawaii Baptist Academy Girls basketball team, Honolulu Boys Club, Easter Seals Society, Kapahulu Park and the WALL of waikiki in which Aso and Deseray taught me to "boogie board" in which I still do today.
Kekoa kind sir MAHALO for your people and the GREATNESS of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop as I CARE for the underprivelage for the past 17 years in South Central as her legacy to you is my DESIRE for ever. You are the BEST kind sir as I really enjoy your smile and your big "OPU" !
I have a 5x coming your way sir as it is TRULY my honor to know an esteem gentlemen of your leisure and pleasure. My wife Rhonda say's hello to you and your lovely wife Diana as she really enjoyed Las Vegas as you both were kind to keep her company as I worked the room greeting so many Tsaikos new and old.
Be well Kekoa and "THANK YOU" for being there for me during my trouble time as your thoughts and prayers went a LONG way in bringing me back and for that kind sir I am extremely grateful ! Vaya Con Dios.

Bighilofan2, MAN you get me fired up as your passion for the Warriors are AWESOME with your pidgeon lingo that NO BODY can mistake but you and you alone KIND SIR !
I have your poem you wrote on "make the _________call" Man I
laughed my okole off when I read it as I wrote it ALL down and when I see you WE will read it together as it was so priceless as you got to have some Edgar Allen Poe in you bra !
Always a pleasure to read your posts as I reflect in Vegas you wearing your Warrior Sponge Helmet and your cape banner "MAN" I was impress as I swear you became "Super Hawaii Warrior" as Bat Man couldn't touch you even if he was looking to Robin for back up.
Take care Big Hilo and MAHALO for being the unique and LOYAL fan that you are to our Warriors ! Wouldn't want it any other way !
November 1st, 2009 at 6:11 am
Pomai, went to the "photobucket" linked BUT don't know the password as I tried your name and mines with nothing happening to open up the site. Mahalo for setting ALL the pictures up as I know you spent quality time on it. Can you give me the pass word to get in ?
I am on my way to play that early tennis as took them ALL out yesterday 6-0, 6-2, 6-3. Love the game and picked it up in Hawaii just taking a class from Jack Rocker as Ala Moana Tennis Courts know me very well over there as I had a FUN time displaying my skills with the local players. One guy in particular wearing his "SLIPPERS" as I was amazed on how he played balance, lateral movement and moving the ball with accuracy and touch. Fun time in which I will do it AGAIN !
See you good folks later and have a HAPPY Sunday !

On the play where Nevada intercepted Moniz in the end zone, it turns out that Nevada had scouted UH well and prepared for an interception when UH used the play. If UH scores a TD instead, they would have had an excellent chance to win the game...so, good coaching and scouting by Nevada's coaches.
November 1st, 2009 at 6:51 am
Hiya Rainbow Cliff.
Garret,
we no mo readaz ... D
that is what I'm talking about. the other team's scouting. practicing the pick. yikes! what does that statement by Bethea tell you ... about ALL the other teams reading our coaches' minds? even the 50,000 books ain't gonna help us cuz ... cuz...
November 1st, 2009 at 6:55 am
Just a heads up -- there is a two hour difference between there and the West Coast.
November 1st, 2009 at 6:59 am
only big city diners.
the other teams no need free online fortune tellers to know what we going do. and good thing we not going play June Jones' team right now.
we're not worthy. 
yah.... I am one ripe ripe ripe guava.
I might not be edible
not even good enuf fo juicing. 
right now...
wanna know why? its about fan fun! I ain't having fun!
started at UNLV right after the game, when the Warriors walked off the field, to the far corner of the field, away from
meuswithout saying goodbye.
be honest with yourself, who we gonna blame that one on? The Warriors? I think not. and it has gone on. and on.
but at least I can smile because there is tomorrow, and maybe da baboozahz will pay attention and learn to run their "coaching routes" right, do their "blocking" right. always get hope, right?
honestly, what the coach needs is some silky voice next to his ear, biting his ear. get the message across. no let the hard head get in the way.

I finished gathering the quotes from the game. I even forced myself to read the Reno Gazette-Journal and the Nevada Appeal to get the quotes they had from the game.

Aloha Kakahiaka!

The Redskins fans have been told by the Redskins Organization that
they can no longer bring signs into the stadium.
Translation. neva mind da house. gotta protect da bannah.
November 1st, 2009 at 7:13 am
Great Morning All!
I suddenly feel just a little closer to wafan and the other mainland Tsaikos...about an hour closer!
Certainly scouting is a part of every team's game prep but it still comes down to execution in the game. There's always another option available on every play; it's a matter of the playmakers making the "right" choices.
I'm fairly certain the '06 and '07 offenses ran that same play with better success. I'm equally certain that this QB will get it done differently in the future when they run the same play.

Have a terrific day erryboddy!

Utah State is up next.
Alex Gerke returns to Hawaii as Assistant Football Coach, under USU coach G Anderson, who last year was a assistant at Utah. they
lost to Fresno by 4. coming to Honolulu with a 2-6 record.
coach better say something really special soon if I'm gonna fly Honolulu Sat and put my bannah at risk.
tell me he's gonna make a better effort of getting fan participation, that he recognizes the fans and he's working on a plan, will talk things over with others including stadium officials... say something. no need have a plan just yet, but let me know he's listening and wants us all in this mud pile together.
and coach, just sewz you nose you're not alone, Kevin Jakahi in the Hilo Tribune Herald said this morning "BIIF {Big Island Interscholastic Federation - Girls Volleyball} Blanked As Usual." That "As Usual" is a
bad play on words.
C'mon Coach, you can do it!
November 1st, 2009 at 7:28 am
have a nice day Tsaikos.
see you this evening.
November 1st, 2009 at 7:32 am
Since the UH coaches and players are all talking about the red zone, I found a *very* interesting and sad stat.
Before yesterday, Nevada was the worst team in the country (#120 out of 120 D-IA teams) in red zone defense. The INT in the end zone that they got is the ONLY time this season that they stopped a team in the red zone! So, now teams have scored 18 times out of the 19 times they made it into the red zone against Nevada.
Now Nevada is only the #119th team in the country in red zone defense. The only team worse than them? UNLV. UNLV has allowed the opposition to score 30 times out of the 31 times they made it into the red zone. The only team UNLV stopped in the red zone in their 9 games? UH.
So, not only is UH the #119 team in the country, but they have played the two worse red zone defenses and were the only offense those teams could stop in the red zone. UNLV's season is 75% done so this stat is pretty revealing.
The TD pass to Taylor moved UH from #120 to #119 in the national red zone stats. Rice is now below UH, but Rice scores more points in the red zone on average because they get more TDs. If points are what matters, then in the red zone UH would be worse than UH.

BigHilo things are changing very slowly in the Mac world. Hopefully before this season end we will see the players come to student sections, especially by the UH band and greet the fans and students. Earlier in the season I mentioned that the players weren't coming to the north end zone with the cheer leaders and rainbow dancers to sing the Alma Mater, not all anyway, and a few said they were but followed up by stating that a lot were in the middle of the field talking and a few were walking back to the tunnel. not good. After the last home game, Slugger mentioned that a few she recognized leaving for the tunnel and she mentioned it to someone at practice to bring it up to those who left early. we need player and coaches commitment to the fans and to their Alma Mater.
