Kamehameha's Sai chooses UH
By Stephen Tsai
Offensive linemen Kiha Sai of Kamehameha Schools said he has accepted a football-scholarship offer from UH head coach Norm Chow.
"He asked, and I said, 'Hell, yes,'" said Sai, who is 6 feet 4 and 315 pounds. "I want to stay home and get that Chow legacy started, with the Hawaii boys staying home."
Sai had previously made an oral commitment to Utah. He said he was not recruited by UH until after Chow was hired on Dec. 22.
Here's his highlight video: Kiha Sai.

Tony Tuioti was born and raised in Orange (County), but he bleeds green.
"I moved to Hawaii when I was 18 years old," said Tuioti, a former UH defensive tackle. "Hawaii is a big part of my life. The person I've become today, as a father and a husband, a lot of those things happened when I was at the University of Hawaii."
Yesterday afternoon, Norm Chow announced he was retaining Tuioti on his coaching staff.
Tuioti was recruited by Bob Wagner, played for Fred vonAppen and June Jones, and served as director of player personnel and, the past two years, defensive line coach under Greg McMackin.
Chow said he has not decided on a position for Tuioti to coach.
"I always look at myself as being a team guy," Tuioti said. "I want to put the team first. Whatever I'm asked to do, I'm going to try to do to the best of my ability."
Chow and Tuioti had never worked together. But they had a meeting in Los Angeles last week. Tuioti received strong endorsements from several in the coaching fraternity.
"I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with coach Chow," Tuioti said. "I want to continue to help build this program. Coach Chow talked about chasing championships, and I want to help the program continue to do that. I'm grateful he trusts me enough to be retained, and work with these young men. I love the program so much. I want to do everything I can to help."

Whoops. Forgot to mention wideout Royce Pollard also will be playing in the Casino Del Sol All-Star Game.

Happy birthday wishes to Paul Cole and Norine Kekuaokalani.

Congrats coach Tuioti
January 9th, 2012 at 5:02 am
Excited to hear about Coach Tony...Go Warriors!
January 9th, 2012 at 5:10 am
Congratulations to Tony Tuioti! He is a great hire by Coach Chow and he will coach and recruit well for the Warriors.
Nice to hear that Tuioti has been working well with the other 2 coaches that Coach Chow hired. Given that working relationship that has already been established, it would seem that it has been no surprise that he was the coach selected to be retained...with Rolo pursuing other positions and Tuioti already working with the new coaches, it seems like they might have known the decision well before today.

More information about Colorado State's new on-campus stadium that UH will begin playing at in a few years. I have been to a number of campuses where the on-campus stadium is looked upon this way. Trouble is, most of those on-campus stadiums were built a long time ago and space is a lot harder to come by on the Manoa campus area.

Great news about Coach Tony ! Still awaiting news about Rolo.
January 9th, 2012 at 6:08 am
Hurry back Gus. Tee time awaits Tuesday. Best referee ever in the state of Hawaii. BCS champioship game. Nice article in the SA about him.
January 9th, 2012 at 6:08 am
good morning tsaikos
January 9th, 2012 at 6:09 am
as the days go by, more good news, so patience pays off. congrats to coach tony t.
January 9th, 2012 at 6:21 am
Congrats to Tony Tuioti. Smart move by Norm Chow to retain Tuioti. From I saw, I really liked his enthusiasm, teaching style, and demeanor working with the players. Nothing laid back or easygoing about him on the field. I also liked hearing that Tuioti has played a role in acclimating newly hired assistant coaches Phil Rauscher and Lewis Powell. Looking forward to seeing NC's complete coaching staff.
January 9th, 2012 at 6:21 am
ST,
So many on the previous blog as well as Garret on this one seem to be bidding farewell to Rolo.
I haven't seen you make an announcement, but is it just a foregone conclusion if he's interviewing at other schools?
January 9th, 2012 at 6:23 am
Good morning Tsaikos!
Congrats to Coach Tuioti.
Spring semester starts today. Hope all the athletes have their game face on to tackle the challenges ahead.
January 9th, 2012 at 6:24 am
Thanks d1! I didn't realize anyone on here knew. Planning on making the rest of my life the best of my life. And as an old military guy you know what my favorite time of day was? CHOW time! And now....back to lurking.
January 9th, 2012 at 6:31 am
Congrats, Coach T!
Morning Tsaikos.
January 9th, 2012 at 6:32 am
Congrats Tony!
January 9th, 2012 at 6:33 am
I thought he'd keep Rolo and groom him because of his background...wonder what was the reason to not retain him? Great job on keeping Tony that leaves two polynesian coaches to get more poly's to commit to us hopefully then UTAH.
January 9th, 2012 at 6:37 am
Hope this not a insensitive question or political incorrect, but how would/does Coach Chow view Boyd Gaming as a big time contributor to UH sports?
January 9th, 2012 at 6:38 am
Good Morning Gangeez!
Great news for Tuioti and the Warriors!
January 9th, 2012 at 6:39 am
Happy Birthday to the birthday peeps!
January 9th, 2012 at 6:47 am
Didn't know Tony Tuioti was born in Orange County New York. Unless you were referring to that upstart county in CA.
January 9th, 2012 at 6:59 am
Good morning Tsaikos everywhere.
Great news about Coach Tuioti, and us.
Happy Birthday ditto to Paul and Norine.
January 9th, 2012 at 6:59 am
Malo Tau......cheeeeehoooo!!!!!!
(ie. Good job well Done,excitement,all the above).
January 9th, 2012 at 7:02 am
Hillmok - was it reported yet that Rolo is NOT going to be retained?? I might have missed something.
January 9th, 2012 at 7:16 am
Good news Tony is returning. Interesting that Inoke Breckterfield is not going to be back at UCLA afterall. Wonder where he goes next. He would be a good addition to the staff but that would leave us with 3 DL coaches. Tont, Inoke, Powell
January 9th, 2012 at 7:29 am
Great news for Tuioti & the Warriors!
January 9th, 2012 at 7:30 am
Sorry to hear that. Thanks for the news Graham. Hope he's able to hook somewhere else if he hasn't already. Tough business.
January 9th, 2012 at 7:32 am
So Tony turned down an internship with the J-E-T-S? Wonder how much an internship pays.
January 9th, 2012 at 7:32 am
really don't like chow's statement about chasing championships - it should be winning championships - go for the gusto. after all it is all about winning the league title or bowl games. teams number 2 to last chase championships, only number 1 wins championships, and we should aspire to be number one.
January 9th, 2012 at 7:33 am
Minutemen are putting on the FULL court press. Aggies are getting nervous.
January 9th, 2012 at 7:45 am
Reading what Chow stated that the coaches needs to be recruiters. Must be that is top of the totem pole in a requirement for someone to coach under Chow. He knows that no matter how good a coach can be, he will only be as good as the athletes he has on the field. As some say great athletes make good coaches look great. Good athletes make good coaches look OK. It all starts with the type of thorough breads one can have in the barn.
January 9th, 2012 at 7:51 am
Smart move - Tony has a personality and a presence that breathes confidence and desire - the fact he is raising 6 kids is no small accomplishment - that guy can recruit with the best of them - the right choice.
January 9th, 2012 at 7:51 am
morning 808
tuioti is a good get congratulations. looking forward to more announcements on the re building UH fball program. so far liking what is happening.
January 9th, 2012 at 7:51 am
January 9th, 2012 at 8:01 am
innocent observer,
I see what you are saying. But it is a pretty bold statement that Hawaii would be chasing the national championship. I give him credit for setting that as a goal. I don't feel many other coach really set a goal that high. JJ and NC are the only ones that gave me the impression that their ultimate goal is not just to win the WAC. They are shooting for more.
If UH loses the in the national championship game a couple times, I will be pretty happy with that for a decade or two. haaa
January 9th, 2012 at 8:03 am
GOOD MORNING HAWAII!
Congratulations Tony! Glad to have you still on board!
BIG BIRD, you were correct.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:10 am
Great news about Tuioti.
Nomo Rolo. My guess anyway. But should be fine without him.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:15 am
Pride:
Not sure what an intern earns, but Mike Smith lived at DC Mike Pettine's house. And he ended up parlaying that into a full-time coaching job.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:19 am
Thought that N.Y. Jets would have looked good on Tony's resume. But of course more important than the resume is making sure that the kids have food on the table. So with that said, congratulations to Coach Tony.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:20 am
#43 - Yes, that is great news that Mike Smith was able to get a full time gig with Mike Leach.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:20 am
I think Kekoa got it right, but it’s the New Downtown Athletic Club. I’ll be attending this for the first and last time just to see. But if you want more to attend better get a larger and easier access location.
Ther service at the Hukilau hasn’t been all that great either.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:26 am
#45 Pride:
Mike Smith got a full time gig with the Jets, he turned down Washington State offer.

Excellent weblog here! Additionally your website quite a bit up very fast! What web host are you the usage of? Can I get your associate hyperlink on your host? I want my site loaded up as fast as yours lol
January 9th, 2012 at 8:32 am
NC will be handling the HC and OC duties to free up funds, and we have a TE coach, so does that mean we need Rcvrs, o-line, QBs, and coaches?
January 9th, 2012 at 8:33 am
FootballScoop is reporting that Rolo is out. Not sure how they got their info.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:33 am
And RBs coaches
January 9th, 2012 at 8:33 am
Interesting that with all these Rolo rumors flowing about, ST has not confirmed nor denied them. I'll wait till ST reports on Rolo before I count him as gone...
January 9th, 2012 at 8:35 am
Will the DC have to perform dual duties as well?
January 9th, 2012 at 8:37 am
Thank you Coach Chow for retaining Coach Tuioti!
He will not disappoint you nor his recruits nor his Dline players nor UH-Manoa.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:39 am
Special Teams Coordinator?
January 9th, 2012 at 8:40 am
A-house
I hope UH Manoa won't disappoint coach Chow!
January 9th, 2012 at 8:41 am
Any chance the Ching Complex gets built before Chow is done here?
January 9th, 2012 at 8:50 am
Yes I knew that. Old age setting in.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:53 am
Night time janitor at the AD's office e-mails with all of the scoops. It's pretty reliable. He reads all of the garbage before tossing them.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:02 am
Chow can't announce his full staff until all of them clear background checks.
Tuioti didn't need a background check because he already was on staff and approved earlier.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:19 am
congrats Tony!
always going get someone not satisfied. Coach Chow going make his first open to the public speaking appearance and the complaints already coming in.
i guess no can satisfy everyone. if can can, if no can...
January 9th, 2012 at 9:20 am
#60, so reading between the lines, Rolo was also on staff, so if his retainment hasn't been announced, we can assume he's gone?
January 9th, 2012 at 9:20 am
That was an awesome interview with the woman who got beat up at Safeway.
That's my new favorite phrase: "I got mopped."
January 9th, 2012 at 9:22 am
ST,
Are the background checks all that's holding back announcing the rest of his staff??? If so, is that confirmation that Rolo is out as he would not have needed one either???
January 9th, 2012 at 9:22 am
what are they looking for in the background checks? terrorist? parole violation? unpaid citations? arrest warrant? bad credit? illegal immigrant? expired work visa?
January 9th, 2012 at 9:26 am
Yes, background checks are the only thing holding up the announcements.
At the old Advertiser, we announced that a person was going to be joining us, pending a drug test. Never saw that person again.
Then a week later, we announced another person would be joining us. Again, pending a drug test. And we never saw that person again, either.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:27 am
Couch Potato:
Probably checking on names used on blogs.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:28 am
The Advertiser was doing employee screening for the drug test company?
January 9th, 2012 at 9:31 am
We took drug tests when we joined the Star-Advertiser. The hardest part was peeing into a cup, and then stopping.
Of course, manure-disturber "Ferd" told me I needed to supply a lot of urine so I had to drink a lot of water. Turns out, not so.
The biggest concern, though, is that they'll find some old-man ailment.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:35 am
ahhhh, blog test.
you should eat asparagus before a urine test.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:39 am
Wake up in the morning, first thing pee. Then go to work, urinalysis. Drink plenty water to pee. Takes awhile, then you pee all day.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:39 am
I wonder when all of these genetically modified stuff will start affecting the outcome of the urine tests?
January 9th, 2012 at 9:44 am
i think i'm ok since i don't shishi frequently, shishi when i cough or sneeze, and shishi not murky, have the urge to shishi but nothing comes out, and when i shishi it i don't have a burning sensation.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:45 am
Congrats to Tuioti, he was a "safe" retention by Chow and leaves some form of continuity especially with any residual recruiting from the previous staff to the new staff. Also, Tuioti can probably give an assessment of existing players and where they possibly might fit in Chows' offensive and defensive schemes. Too bad about Rolo...I think Chow want's to keep his hands on the offense just like MACK/Mouse, so he wouldn't be able to truly run the offense as desired. Wish Chow would make it official and get it over with, so Rolo can move on.

Got Shishi problem? Close to 85% of men worldwide develop some type of prostate problem by the age of 60! This statistic is even more acute in United States, where 90% of men have or will suffer from prostate related problems at some point in their lifetime.
Read this but best to go see your doctor.

January 9th, 2012 at 10:11 am
Wonder if the new coach has to interview all of the coaches on the 2011 staff to let them know if they will be retained or not? Former Hawaii coach Ikaika Malloe was the DC there, and may be looking for a job.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:17 am
Mazel to Coach Tony!
@Pride if I am not mistaken the internship program with the JETS that Tony was attending was a camp for Coaches of Color. You know what I mean? We have been working on Letters of Recommendation all week last week for several young Poly Coaches who would like to be invited to one of these camps. My husband has been banging the phones to get our Poly Coaches in the doors.
@ Stephen Tsai...the drug test at work have saved a life or two. In my union you have to pee to work whenever they feel like it. Two of my co workers it was discovered had early signs of bladder cancer. The drug test literally saved their lives. Bladder cancer is a hard to detect. Most MEN hate going to the Doctors.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:21 am
BCS pau as we know it???
Yeah ok.. I like see.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:21 am
I think that BCS stuff is the same stuff they said the last time they attempted to make changes...
January 9th, 2012 at 10:23 am
PRIDE thanks for the info on Yale. Hope we can BEAT Harvard this year!
I hope they keep Coach Ikaika. Dropped off care package this past summer to his office. Missed the GAME this past year.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:25 am
ST: you mentioned Tuioti has been an active recruiter, landing cornerback Mike Edwards, safety John Hardy-Tuliau, and defensive ends Craig Cofer and Tavita Woodard--anyone else he recruited? Can you also give us a list of which former coaches recruited this past year's players; or at least the key players?
January 9th, 2012 at 10:28 am
Death to the BCS? They will just make changes to keep the little man out.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:36 am

January 9th, 2012 at 10:45 am
808Bowler...
Tuioti used to be the recruiting coordinator... thing is, the recruiting coordinator is not a coach and is not allowed to coach... I think his energy on the field is a big plus.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:54 am
Polymom, Pride,
Former Kahuku head coach, Hawaii Hammerheads and UH assistant Doug Semones is coaching the defensive ends at Yale. He's another former Hawaii coach to keep an eye on.

True but he is a darn good recruiter. Wonder what position he be coaching????
January 9th, 2012 at 11:00 am
Will the GAs be from UH, or do they have to be from UH? Who would be good candidates and how many can be acquired?
January 9th, 2012 at 11:01 am
ai-eee-soos and sportsbow -
Thanks for the link. Coprich looks like the real deal. Hope he ends up as a Warrior!
January 9th, 2012 at 11:01 am
As Director of Player Personnel....and not as coach....his first 2 years, Tuioti could not actively recruit.
Whoever ends up as the Recruiting Coordinator (not Director of Player Personnel) must be a coach....and therefore is allowed to recruit.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:04 am
With Inoke Breckterfield apparently now leaving UCLA staff, that might open recruiting up for Lakalaka and Fairbairn....since Breckterfield was their recruiting contact with Bruins.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:05 am
Tony the kicking coach?
January 9th, 2012 at 11:05 am
Did you go to Yale? I thought that you attended USC?
January 9th, 2012 at 11:10 am
Bugaz - #102 - all GAs must be graduate students at UH in a degree program.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:10 am
808Bowler..
For the most part, I don't think the Recruiting Coordinator actually initiates initial contact with recruits -- at least at Manoa. He may send out a feeder (mailer) to see if there is any interest, though. He is the one who coordinates the recruiting 'process'. He would be in charge of breaking down how many scholarships that the school has in a particular year, figure out how many players they want to take at certain positions, determine what coaches will be traveling where, and the many other aspects of the recruiting process. The reason that football has a recruiting coordinator. By taking care of and coordinating all the processes, the coaches can put the vast majority of their focus and energies into their coaching jobs.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:11 am
Kapakahi,
ah.. maybe I have the two confused... do we have both?
January 9th, 2012 at 11:12 am
2 GAs only and long hours while still attending classes. Doorstep to coaching career. Usually 2 years but NCAA allows for three.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:13 am
#105 (kapakahi)
It's my understanding that Jim Mora hired Inoke Breckterfield to be part of his staff.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:15 am
Sorry to hear about Breckterfield, but hoping Lakalaka stays home now.

Dave Vinton as sportscaster of the year? huh?
January 9th, 2012 at 11:19 am
Under Mack, the Director of Player Personnel position was created with salary paid by Na Koa....but no UH assistant coach was ever assigned the title & responsibility as the Recruiting Coordinator.
As a non-coach, the Director of Player Personnel took care of the all the logistics (the stuff you mentioned) associated with recruiting but could not actively participate in the recruiting process...since must be coach to do so.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:19 am

there's been talk of a surprise hire in the mix. one that no one will have saw coming. if he accepts many would say..."huh?".
a hc needs folks that he knows will enhance the players' abilities and one he can trust.
but, we'd trust in chow as tommui would say.

i wonder if tsai has an incentive bonus clause in his contract?
probably not i suppose.
but, i'd buy you lunch.

Pride,
Yes it's true. George is one of the best football officials out there. I've had NFL guys tell me that he really should be officiating in the League. In addition to coaching St. Louis baseball, he also does a great job as the director of football officials for the HHSAA.

January 9th, 2012 at 11:47 am
Great news for Tuioti!
Hey Stephen Tsai, great job! Do you know "Betty's" secret???
Al, I buy you lunch!
Have a great day everyone! Here today, gone to...
January 9th, 2012 at 11:47 am
bugaz...sorry i was just throwing it out there. it just seems to have a connection somehow. for inoke's sake i hope it isn't so, he is a very sound man of character and a rising star in the world of collegiate athletics.
if we werent so stacked with dline coaches i'd say, give him a call.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:47 am
jojo...shoots. we go!
January 9th, 2012 at 11:49 am
Anyone else notice that ST is staying away from saying anything about Rolo?
Congrats btw, on sportscaster of the year.
Congrats to Tuioti too!
January 9th, 2012 at 11:49 am
Thanks KapoleiWarrior. That's great news. Remember when he did the Rose Bowl a few years back.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:50 am
YUP, the BCS as we know it is pau . . . Non-AQ schools will no longer be allowed entry into the BCS bowl games. This is for the big boys with big dollars. If you aint, stay out!
We all know that is what they want.

January 9th, 2012 at 12:06 pm
ST is sportscaster of the year? Congrats! Well deserved.
January 9th, 2012 at 12:08 pm
i've seen that jeffrey coprich dvd awhile back. he played for a lower tier school and that may have been the reason he had been under the radar all this time. kind of like the ryan grice-mullen story.
he just jumps out of the video. if he chooses hawaii, which i think he will.
i'd give him at least two nicknames to start.
jeffrey "sanders" coprich
jeffrey "broke yo' ankles" coprich
jeffrey "jet" coprich
i'll bet tommui lunch that he becomes a warrior. (a burger perhaps?)
January 9th, 2012 at 12:09 pm
So how many graduating Warriors are playing in all-star games?
January 9th, 2012 at 12:09 pm
mih...you really need to stop having a kup of kava at lunch.
its sportswriter of the year.
January 9th, 2012 at 12:10 pm
lunch.. I have it all day long!.... oh wait that's java.. not kava... no need Kava.. I'm in the hot sun all day long...
January 9th, 2012 at 12:12 pm
IMHO, If I were dave vinton, I'd be elated to be placed on the same pedestal as ST. on the other hand, being placed in the same level as vinton kinda takes credibility away from ST. LOL
January 9th, 2012 at 12:20 pm
ST-congrats. Very well deserved.

Now that you got the award, can you pull some muscle and get those live video interviews back on the Star-Advertiser? Dunno who your partner would be, but those were always fun to watch. With the new coaching crew, there's a lot of people to interview and meet.
January 9th, 2012 at 12:26 pm
Congrats ST!
I still owe you lunch...

January 9th, 2012 at 12:30 pm
ST, 1st of all congratualations on your award...u deserve it.
I just this week ordered via Amazondotcom, this product; Superbeta Prostate Health/60 caplets. Want to C, if it'll help me not having to go shishi, like every two(2) hr.s...especially when I'm in bed at night!!??, makes for a lot of sleepless interruptions...my former-x used to get upset with my coming and goings during the night.
hope this helps me will let u fallas who have same problems know what comes of this.

Re #170 - I wonder if Iwonder will be hoping Forcier shows up at UH??
January 9th, 2012 at 1:04 pm
Way to go ST.!!!!
January 9th, 2012 at 1:04 pm
As ST hasn't said anything about Rolo (unless I missed it), perhaps Rolo was not retained as OC but was offered a lower position as QB coach or something? He is trying the waters to see if he can get an OC position outside but perhaps there is still a chance that he may stay at Hawaii?
January 9th, 2012 at 1:06 pm
the lingle campaign committee is sure making it known that SHOPO endorses her.
January 9th, 2012 at 1:10 pm

AL #150 - Saw Richard who said you still had a reservation there - your message showed doubt but "I'll get back to you". Your message was on target when you said that Tony was offered.
No biggie though, as I live nearby.
Your bet #153 - you're on!

Report: Three interviewed for Aggies offensive coordinator position
A report from footballscoop.com has New Mexico State University interviewing three men for the Aggies offensive coordinator position in football.
The three names in the report: former Hawaii offensive coordinator Nick Rolovich; former Colorado State head coach Steve Fairchild; former Washington State offensive coordinator Todd Sturdy.
The Cruces Sports Blog had two of these names when speculating on possible coordinator candidates last month. Click here for that list.
Aggie head coach DeWayne Walker is currently at the American Football Coaches National Convention in San Antonio, Texas, an event that runs through Wednesday.

Re#114 ST you da bessus! Congratulations!
January 9th, 2012 at 1:31 pm
if mora pulls an offer to one of his own coaches, imagine what he'd do to potential recruits. hope the local boys are paying close attention to these tactics... also hope that our coaches see this and use it as a recruiting tool against ucla in the coming years.
norm chow gives off a much more honorable vibe than mora.
January 9th, 2012 at 1:34 pm

Re 188: "...in the report: former Hawaii offensive coordinator Nick Rolovich..."
Seems most likely will not be on new staff here. I wish him well at getting his next OC position!
January 9th, 2012 at 1:39 pm
ST & Tsaiko Blog Dogs:
Congratulations to ST for the honorarium. I am a bit confused about Dave Vinton, I thought he was more a sports director than broadcaster with OC. I guess he was nominated by OC.
With ST, although he primarily covers the UH football beat, his stories develop the interest in Hawaii sports overall. This blog is testament to his influence, as a writer and blog host. His is the only SA blog that generates more posts, and consequently more spam, than any other and probably all SA blogs combined! He has facilitated job security for the SA IT staff by himself!? May the force be with you!
January 9th, 2012 at 1:40 pm
congrats ST...Very deserving award.
Interesting times...The suspense on how NC will recruit athletes and coaches is unbelievable. Also, I'm dismayed with the many "rumors, inuendos, and stories" going around about Mack and his "retirement." There seems to be more than the simple "won-loss" that stoked his departure.
January 9th, 2012 at 1:43 pm
ST - So is it true that Rolo will not be retained? Also is JT Turner still coming or was there a change of plans?
January 9th, 2012 at 1:46 pm

mr. tommui...my sincere apologies if my correspondence did not reach the shores of the ala wai canal. probably it was my ipad that did not send it out.
funny thing is that i haven't spoken to richard since the christmas eve.
anyway, i found a best burger joint for you, kauai beach resort hotel, a kahuna burger which is a half pounder with cheese, bacon, mushrooms, lettuce, tomato, and onions with your choice of teri or bbq sauce. also comes with a load of fries or salad (yeah right). all this for a paltry 14$.

if he comes this semester, tomw, he'll face tougher academic challenges to be eligible in the fall.
or
he could go back to jc and get it done in an easier fashion and be here in the fall as well.
however, should he take the latter route he becomes a "free agent" once again.
January 9th, 2012 at 2:18 pm
al, no they don't.

#219 al: rolo has several offers at oc coordinator. it is a matter of how far he is willing to travel from home/hawaii.
If I was rolo I go to New Mexico State since he will have another Mule to work with at QB and will be much warmer than up north.
January 9th, 2012 at 2:19 pm
There are a few universities in Japan that field football teams.
January 9th, 2012 at 2:20 pm
i guess the book on rolo is not officially over since a formal annoucement has yet to be made. keeps things interesting doesn't it?
i think that half of the visitors this weekend will make a commitment by monday.
January 9th, 2012 at 2:21 pm
Used to be a big, big fan of Jack In Box, but after two bouts

definitely has the best french fries in town.

okay, i'll say it. rolo has offers from the north american continent west of the mississippi and east of the mississippi.
...and just to further clarify, they are not in canada nor mexico (the country of).

Minute By Minute lyrics
Hey, don't worry, I've been lied to
I've been here many times before
Girl don't you worry, I know where I stand
I don't need this love, I don't need your hand
I know I could turn, blink, and you'd be gone
Then I must be prepared any time to carry on, but
(chorus)
(Minute by minute by minute by minute)
I keep holding on
Oh, I keep holding on
(Minute by minute by minute by minute)
I keep holding on
Always been one of my favorite songs.
January 9th, 2012 at 2:25 pm

would make it sure interesting for him to translate his

January 9th, 2012 at 2:30 pm
it's all preference, i rather have Wendy's than jack, mc, and bk. those gourmet burger joints are all over priced.
January 9th, 2012 at 2:31 pm
mikey...burger king does that wm burger trick. they fire up a number of burgers to near doneness and then toss em on the grill when you order them or during peak hours they are just firing em off in anticipation of the sale.
January 9th, 2012 at 2:32 pm
pomai...you under estimate the little birdies.
January 9th, 2012 at 2:32 pm
al - that's why NMS is a great place to start at the bottom.
Look what JJ did at UH from 0-12 to almost National Coach of the Year!
Rolo can become a hero with great Mule to work with for few more years.
January 9th, 2012 at 2:34 pm

Went to Portland recently and had the best burger I EVER HAD! Can't remember the name of the place, but it was downtown Portland. The burger was called the 50/50. It was half ground beef, half ground sausage with an aioli sauce. BUGGAH WAS ONO.
January 9th, 2012 at 2:37 pm
*Random Thought*
If I were Roger Goodell, I'd start fixing games to ensure Denver into the Superbowl.
Green Bay is almost a lock.
Denver is where the money in jersey sales and ratings are at and the NFL is nothing more than a business sooo... do the right thing and give the people what they want in hype and merchandise.
Then watch the champ Aaron Rogers show the 700 Club's boy how the QB position is played… but until then.. Set the stage like a good promoter should.
January 9th, 2012 at 2:38 pm
Although they don't have much in them and are pretty basic, I still LOVE the BBQ Cheeseburger Deluxe (TWO TIMES) burgers from St. Louis Drive In. Awww man . . . take me back.
January 9th, 2012 at 2:39 pm
nmsu is on the verge of losing its fbs status. it is due to their attendance numbers. sjsu was in that predicament a few years back and will soon be on the bubble as well.
it was that plight that really made the uhad wake up and smell the coffee as our numbers were plummeting towards those very same issues.
why not go to somewhere there is new money to build rather the armpit of fbs football?
January 9th, 2012 at 2:39 pm
Kevin...you think the games are "fixed"?
Well, maybe in Heaven...
January 9th, 2012 at 2:40 pm

Channel 58 on tv always shows some great burger (and other foods)

gluttony on how much they can chow down rather than celebrate
its taste.

Inn not in.
January 9th, 2012 at 2:54 pm
Almost time for the Big Game to start: BCS Championship between Alabama vs. LSU on ESPN on Channel 22/222/1222 or 206HD on DirecTV.
Hoping for Tides to win... but then will need a play off again with 1-1 each?
Go Bama!
January 9th, 2012 at 2:55 pm
Kinda neat that BCS National Championship game is gonna be played on the same UBU Series S5-M synthetic turf system field installed at the Louisiana Superdome....that's now installed at Aloha Stadium.
January 9th, 2012 at 2:56 pm
Anyone here Inn and Out coming soon near you?
January 9th, 2012 at 2:57 pm
The story of how Alabama became associated with "elephant" goes back to the 1930 season when Coach Wallace Wade had assembled a great football team.
On October 8, 1930, sports writer Everett Strupper of the Atlanta Journal wrote a story of the Alabama-Mississippi game he had witnessed in Tuscaloosa four days earlier. Strupper wrote, "That Alabama team of 1930 is a typical Wade machine, powerful, big, tough, fast, aggressive, well-schooled in fundamentals, and the best blocking team for this early in the season that I have ever seen. When those big brutes hit you I mean you go down and stay down, often for an additional two minutes.
"Coach Wade started his second team that was plenty big and they went right to their knitting scoring a touchdown in the first quarter against one of the best fighting small lines that I have seen. For Ole Miss was truly battling the big boys for every inch of ground.
"At the end of the quarter, the earth started to tremble, there was a distant rumble that continued to grow. Some excited fan in the stands bellowed, 'Hold your horses, the elephants are coming,' and out stamped this Alabama varsity.
"It was the first time that I had seen it and the size of the entire eleven nearly knocked me cold, men that I had seen play last year looking like they had nearly doubled in size."
Strupper and other writers continued to refer to the Alabama linemen as "Red Elephants," the color referring to the crimson jerseys.
The 1930 team posted an overall 10-0 record. It shut out eight opponents and allowed only 13 points all season while scoring 217. The "Red Elephants" rolled over Washington State 24-0 in the Rose Bowl and were declared National Champions.

Five Guys is da bomb! Better den INN-N-Out. Grocery size bag of fries is da winna!!!!
January 9th, 2012 at 3:00 pm
Thanks al what a laugh haven't been to W&M in a while too... change to skinny fries?
who would do a dumb thing like that. Must be the son who took over to cut cost.
At Inn & Out they hand cut the fries to order.

Burger King’s The Burger – about $186
Hot on the heels of Wall Street Burger, surprisingly enough, is Burger King. Yes, this monolithic fast food giant has decided to live up to its name by producing the world’s most expensive burger. Simply called “The Burger,” this costly hamburger is available only at a West London branch of the restaurant. Luckily for those among you who’ll be taking your private jets to Burger King for lunch, The Burger can be pre-ordered by phone so you needn’t wait.
The world’s most expensive hamburger is made, as usual, with Wagyu beef. It is also decked with white truffles, onion tempura prepared in Cristal champagne and some of Spain’s finest Pata Negra ham. All of this is presented in an Iranian saffron and truffle bun.

#279 (mikey),
FYI....In-N-Out is privately owned family business...just like The Original Tommy's....and hasn't yet sold any franchises....so I wouldn't expect them to move out here anytime soon.
January 9th, 2012 at 3:13 pm
in-n-out uses only fresh beef and would be difficult and not cost effective getting them to Hawaii in a timely manner. that's why no mo one here.
January 9th, 2012 at 3:15 pm
This looks like it is going to be one hell of a football game.
January 9th, 2012 at 3:15 pm
Not saying the NFL games ARE fixed, saying it CAN be.
Anything on television that makes that kind of money can be arranged if the need be.
There is always a first time for everything. A call here and a call there by the refs or replay offical and viola!!!
It can be done.
Denver vs Green Bay for the silver football = money in the bank. It's the right business decision. Goodell should do everything in his power to ensure that.
January 9th, 2012 at 3:17 pm
right business decision vs. integrity of the game. hmmmmmmm.
January 9th, 2012 at 3:20 pm
I think SF getting to the Super Bowl would be pretty good for the NFL too.
January 9th, 2012 at 3:23 pm
Integrity of the game?????????
Has anyone paid attention to the professional sports headlines and issues over the last few years?
The college game had whatever integrity was left and the BCS nonsense is about killing that completely.
Im not saying the business needs to "change" because it's stupid and naïve to think it will change, so we're just gonna go with it for what it is and more people should see it for what it is.
I think pure football fans still believe the NFL holds some kind of true aspect of athletic competition, yet they are the same ones debating and justifying insane salaries and supporting holdouts from a player or owners perspective.
That's fine if you wanna do that, but personally those same fans should acknowledge that business comes first in the NFL, then somewhere in there is the game of football.
January 9th, 2012 at 3:24 pm
The NFL game today IS business, the right business decision IS right for the game today.
It is what it is because they made it that way because we as a sports society MADE it that way.
January 9th, 2012 at 3:24 pm
all the hard work the players put into the game is thrown away from some dumb business decision?
January 9th, 2012 at 3:25 pm
Case and point . . . Colts were losing everygame and then went on a mini-streak. All of a sudden, when last place was no longer a gimme (and people probably started betting on them again), they started losing again. Business.
January 9th, 2012 at 3:27 pm
so you saying if your favorite Wahine softball team puts in the hours to train, work hard, play the game as best they can and gets it all thrown away because of some collusion between the NCAA and the umpires, is okay?
January 9th, 2012 at 3:28 pm
Here's the Hot scoop!
http://www.thedailymeal.com/n-out-burger-coming-town-near-you
And it's BCS Game time order your Inn and Out now!
January 9th, 2012 at 3:28 pm
Jefferson is losing his composure. First he drops the snap and yells at the center. Replay looked like he just pulled out too quick. And now he's on the sideline dropping F bombs all over the place. Be cool man! Game just started.
January 9th, 2012 at 3:29 pm
Roll Tide!
January 9th, 2012 at 3:31 pm
Happens all the time.
Ratings increase, sponsorship to the NFL increases, more $$$$ comes in, push Tebow to the moon and make him a superstar unlike no other…
Use him. I mean the NFL has had so many issues with players gaining bad press that someone like Tebow brings in a fresh look for many so why not use it to the NFL's advantage? Create a new fan base that was previously disenchanted therefore producing more willing wallets.
More money to spread out, not just for the Denver franchise, but for NFL programming, and more kala for all involved including the players league-wide.
How many, JUST how many of these NFLers that don't make the playoffs or Superbowl will sleep sleepless nights after coming home to their elaborte estates and heavy incomes????
Seriously?
More power to them, they get to make the kind of living we can't by playing a sport.
January 9th, 2012 at 3:33 pm
Couch Potato,
REALLY? The college softball game in compairison to what I'm talking about the professional juggarnaut that is the National Football League?
Read what I'm saying about what is right in front of EVERYBODY'S eyes about pro football.
January 9th, 2012 at 3:33 pm
business is business but to have officials decide a game because the commish says who should be the winner is simply stupid.
January 9th, 2012 at 3:34 pm
FACT = NFL is BIG BIG business.
FACT = Women's Division One College Softball is not BIG BIG business.
Trying to develop an argument on these two alone is only an attempt to shake lychee from a coconut tree.
January 9th, 2012 at 3:35 pm
Kevin, you did mention the college game and in principle it's the same thing. you are playing with the teams passion and goals. why then play the game if the outcome is already decided?
January 9th, 2012 at 3:37 pm
Pride,
Wassamatta... you dakine local boy.. foget yo direkshuns awready?
Going go towards da ocean side.. so all Makai!... East-West is so confusing dat even UH wen go give up da East-West program.
January 9th, 2012 at 3:38 pm
If they're not going to do it, they're not going to do it.
The thing is, I do not hold the NFL in the same light as you do as you think there is still some kind of purity about football and the game itself in the NFL.
I think and I firmly believe the NFL is a business FIRST amongst everything else.
That's the difference between you and I.
January 9th, 2012 at 3:38 pm
i'm talking about the people who play the game, why take away something they work so hard for? i played the sport and many others. if i ever found out that the games i played was rigged i would be pissed and ...
you must have played sports in your past and know what it takes to practice, train, practice, train, all to better yourself and then all of a sudden your game is fixed? aiyah!
January 9th, 2012 at 3:40 pm
that's fine, we can agree to disagree, but i wouldn't rig a game just for money. that's just my integrity as a player, coach, and parent.
January 9th, 2012 at 3:41 pm
al...I believe W&M moved to the City Mill location in 1981 or so. I was in 5th grade at the time attending a Catholic school in Kaimuki.

Already starting to crave a double-double animal style with animal fries and a pink lemonade drink!
January 9th, 2012 at 3:48 pm
oops.. time to watch the game...
January 9th, 2012 at 3:51 pm
Back Store burgers behind Washington Intermediate (no longer there). They were broiled and cost something like 50 cents. Still the best burgers I ever ate. Used to play basketball at the courts next to McCully Zippy's and then off to the Back Store for two burgers and a green river soda.
January 9th, 2012 at 3:53 pm
Couch Potato,
I wrote this:
To which you followed up with this:
So my question is why bring up softball in the NCAA? It's a low revenue and in some places like UH, it's non-revenue???
AGAIN, I'm talking about the NFL.
The bottom line is you keep thinking the NFL is still about just football.
I'm saying it's not. After years and years of contract holdouts when a millionaire is not satisfied with his current fleet of cars and wants more... after stalemates between owners and players bickering about who gets what share of the BILLIONS leaving fans and arena staff employees in the lurch.... after all that, try tell me that the NFL is NOT a BUSINESS FIRST.
While the college game is slowly losing that other sports on the college level still have that "purity" you think the NFL has in some degree. I'm saying it's DEAD in the NFL and while college football is close to losing it completely, there is still some element of "purity" left.
Im not apologizing in BELIEVING the NFL should set up the next Superbowl to make sure it's Denver and Green Bay simply because that's what a business should do since that is the big money match up.
January 9th, 2012 at 3:58 pm
So then you can see what I think are the NFL's priorties are then right?
January 9th, 2012 at 4:08 pm
Mickey, #295 scoop link comments kinda put down i&o...dunno.
January 9th, 2012 at 4:09 pm
Interesting, national championship on tv and we're talking
burgers. Well score is 3 - 0...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
January 9th, 2012 at 4:14 pm
Oh joy, score is 6 to zero...
January 9th, 2012 at 4:18 pm
IMan,
If either of these teams was sporting Hawaii Green, I'd be ecstatic.
It's CFB, enjoy it while it lasts....
January 9th, 2012 at 4:24 pm
the concept of this "rematch" irks me. i agree with those who think alabama had their chance to prove they were #1 and failed. Ok state should have been given a chance.
January 9th, 2012 at 4:25 pm
Don't forget the two tiered justice system we have in this country as well. When the rich have their own majority in the Supreme Court you know the fix is in and you're living in a world where the average person goes to prison for minor things and the rich can do anything short of murdering a person on camera and not be worried in the least about being arrested.tera gold

OK St wouldna shutout LSU at halftime
January 9th, 2012 at 4:33 pm
D1shima, if OK state was playing for the BCS championship,
who would be their opponent, Bama or Tide?
And what would the score be at halftime?
It would have been better to be OK state and Oregon or Boise State...
January 9th, 2012 at 4:33 pm
#236 al? Who else is visiting this weekend?
January 9th, 2012 at 4:35 pm
What woulda DQ'd LSU?
January 9th, 2012 at 4:36 pm
#320 - maybe, but there would have probably been a touchdown or two somewhere along the way.
January 9th, 2012 at 4:37 pm
I wish Hawaii could afford a color-coordinated fold-up chair for its Baton Twirler.
January 9th, 2012 at 4:37 pm
Ducks halftime score woulda been 35 to Tide's 21...
January 9th, 2012 at 4:40 pm
mcb,
Prolly true but I doubt that the Cowboys woulda scored any of them
January 9th, 2012 at 4:41 pm
#327 - well LSU's defense doesn't look like its stopping anything, so I beg to differ.
January 9th, 2012 at 4:42 pm
...based on the 13 the Dux scored in the first half vs LSU?
January 9th, 2012 at 4:43 pm
anything=TD's?
January 9th, 2012 at 4:43 pm

The Honey Badger don't care!

January 9th, 2012 at 4:44 pm
Oh...Ducks already played Tide?
If so, I apologise deeply. Score 1 for D1.
January 9th, 2012 at 4:46 pm
Roll Tide = 'Bama
January 9th, 2012 at 4:46 pm
Geaux Tigers = LSU
January 9th, 2012 at 4:48 pm
#333 the ducks played LSU
#330 - Wheeden is a better passing QB than Mccarron who has already thrown for 156 yards.
January 9th, 2012 at 4:50 pm
Got Burgers?
Ma'ona Lunch counter in Hilo. Tex Drive Inn in Honoka'a too. Ma'oana all fresh ingredients. Tex, make their fresh bread. Both places make great burgers. Plenny MEAT! Hilo Burger joint also make a pretty good samich.
On the continent? I've been to 5 guys. And yes, it meets the hype. Great burger and fries combo. I have not been to an A&W in years. But I remember those burgers were pretty darn good -- greeeeezy and ono. And was always good to wash it down with some cold, fresh root beer.

BCS game is a clinic on field goals.
January 9th, 2012 at 5:02 pm
Now 'Bama has 200+ yards passing but still no TD's. The Tide offense is not a slouch; the Bengal Tigers' D is that good (equalled by 'Bama's).
I'm just saying they got it right....these are the two best teams in CFB this season.
January 9th, 2012 at 5:04 pm
Two best teams? Yeah right...
January 9th, 2012 at 5:05 pm
Only one way to know for sure. On the field. BCS sucks. And ain't never gonna change.
January 9th, 2012 at 5:10 pm

January 9th, 2012 at 5:19 pm
so if alabama wins today does that mean they're better than LSU?
January 9th, 2012 at 5:20 pm
...including a #2 and two #3's
January 9th, 2012 at 5:20 pm
while i don't like the rematch, I do think this rematch was the best thing that could have happened for those who want a playoff. I don't want the plus one though. I want more games than that.
January 9th, 2012 at 5:21 pm
I wouldn't be surprised if LSU wins with seconds to spare in the 4th!!??, talk about lucky!?
January 9th, 2012 at 5:21 pm
so how do you KNOW that NO team is better than Alabama?
January 9th, 2012 at 5:21 pm

HELL YES !!!
Offensive linemen Kiha Sai of Kamehameha Schools said he has accepted a football-scholarship offer from UH head coach Norm Chow.
"He asked, and I said, 'Hell, yes,'" said Sai, who is 6 feet 4 and 315 pounds. "I want to stay home and get that Chow legacy started, with the Hawaii boys staying home."
Sai had previously made an oral commitment to Utah. He said he was not recruited by UH until after Chow was hired on Dec. 22.

January 9th, 2012 at 6:39 pm
Let's start a grass roots movement on how to move the program forward: Ideas?
This would be done on your time no pay for the love of UH Football and keeping the program "alive and moving forward"..."chasing championships"!!
example:
-set up a call center to call past season ticket holders and get them to renew.
- People walking around the stadium parking lot taking donations every week.
-Playing a song during the game like Wisconsin plays "Jump Around" and all thier fans jump.
-Playing music during the game like they did for brief minute in the BYU game.
Any thoughts?
January 9th, 2012 at 6:41 pm

Great news about Kiha Sai! I was hoping that UH would go after him for some time ever since he decommitted from Utah when they asked him to grayshirt after they got another recruit to commit to them. Huge recruiting win by Coach Chow and his staff.
January 9th, 2012 at 7:01 pm
Craig Thompson doesn't seem to think that the MWC will get the AQ waiver for 2012 and 2013. That is too bad because it appears that the AQ system will end after that and the new system might exclude the MWC.

Looking back at the bowl season:
Big 12: 6-2, including 3-0 against the Pac-12
SEC: 6-3, 1 loss in the national title game, 1 loss in OT, and Vandy lost
CUSA: 4-1, only loss was to BYU by 3 points. They beat 2 AQ schools, but the winners of those games (Houston, SMU) will soon be in the Big East
MAC: 4-1, 2-0 vs. MWC, only loss was by 5 points to the Big 10
Big East: 3-2, but Pitt's loss is really a loss for the ACC and the Houston/SMU/BSU wins were from schools joining them soon
Big 10: 4-6, 2 of their wins were in OT
MWC: 2-3, both teams that won (TCU, BSU) are leaving
Pac-12: 2-5
ACC: 2-6, not counting Pitt's loss
Sun Belt: 1-2
WAC: 0-3, not the way to try to earn respect.

Howzit Everybody,
Solidly played NC game. Congrads to Uncle Gus (George Gussman) on his officiating assignment.
I agree that they put the two best teams in the NC game. If it was any other team against these two teams, it would have been a blowout, plain and simple.
January 9th, 2012 at 7:41 pm
I am very interested to see who the o-line coach would be and his credentials. That would be key, in my opinion to the possible early and ongoing success of the new team.
Watching the Bama-LSU game was exciting to me. Bama's defense is just unbelievable. What they say is true, offense may fill seats but defense wins championships. I don't think any of the other, lower, top tier wannabes could score on Bama tonight. They were fired up and ready to play.
Can we also have that for our Warriors?

you just gotta know in your gut that Coach Chow is planning the whole deal.
thats why he's got the history of credentials, great offensive mind.
plus, he's part ... uh... uh.... Palolo...

Nice recruit pickup!
Nice to have Tuioti on staff!
Congrats to Pollard and Happy Birthday to the birthday kids.
Burgers...Can't beat the homemade kine!
Kazz - I think what Couch potato is saying is no matter what sport...no matter what organization...no matter what league...you just don't throw games to make a better match-up.
Knowing the time I put in as a player as well as many on here who have played competitive sports for their alma mater(s) you just don't cheat to get a desired result. Also looking back at my kids and also the kids of our fellow bloggers and seeing the time and effort they put in to play the sports they love I would not appreciate it if I knew their games were fixed.
I will never condone throwing a game to benefit someones pocket. Like Couch potato said, that ruins the integrity of the game for the players.
People who know me know that I am a competitive person and I hate to lose. But someone has to lose and if they do lose I hope it's not because refs, umpires, or officials blew calls on purpose.
If you want to predetermine winners in the NFL then you may as well run it like the WWE.
January 9th, 2012 at 7:52 pm
wuz talking to cuz about how he sees da future.
things are looking up, says he. me too.
January 9th, 2012 at 7:53 pm
418 no doubt about that. Just anxious to see what our bigs will be doing in the trenches. I remember watching our first game under JJ and the team was warming up just under our end zone section. I could not help but notice the difference in footwork, and the crispness of the o-line. It was a BIG difference from the year before.
I'd like to believe we'll be equally pleasantly surprised when Coach Chow implements his schemes.
January 9th, 2012 at 7:53 pm
Man will this commit open up the flood gates in the state. We will have to see but man this is a solid pick up. Thanks for staying home Kiha. Now Uncle Norm go check on my kids at your old school and see if they like come. I'm sure you can come out with at least two and maybe three. Like I said gotta wait and see.
Exciting times indeed.

#413 - Keoniana
I sure hope Sua Cravens is better than Siaki. To be honest, his play & his attitude were a complete bust in 2011.
On a much more positive note, I am SO jacked at the first two recruits Norm Chow has landed. I know it's only "verbal" right now, but dang it's so nice to read / hear "local boys" committing to the "local" team.
I saw hi-lites of Kiha Sai on KITV (Kekaula), and I had no idea he was such a beast.

welcome to the warriors kiha! another awesome pickup from the norm.
i hope the story on this commitment makes it to the front page of the sports section tomorrow. show all the local boys that staying home puts you in the spot light and that the state will now be backing you up.

so far this has been a helluva start in the short few weeks since chow time first started.
he has shown in a short time that if you get the right attitude, contacts, staff, and the desire to get off of your butt, amazing results are ahead. of course one needs the right ability to "sell" the program.
i believe there are a few more commits already. however, you don't become the sportwriter of the year by shooting all of your marbles at once. a headline a day sells more papers in the long run.
...after all these are exciting times.

Fantastic recruit in Sai. Let him be the first domino of local boys staying home.
Nobody appreciates a good defensive display anymore. Yahoo homepage calls the game a dud. Ummmm. . . . dud I think not. That was a defensive display.
Alabama lost the first game because of 4 missed field goals (I believe), not because LSU was the better team (my opinion).
Alabama the clear #1 in my mind.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:07 pm
jm2375 #447 . . . oh hell yeah. That place is mean.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:10 pm
428. Al
This goes to show you that height and size matters in big time D1 football. Norm has been there for years and knows what it takes. He is looking for a specific criteria in size especially on the O and D lines. Unfortunately a lot of good players and their parents here in Hawaii will realize this is a wake up call. The kid here who is tuff but 5-9, 5-10 on the O-line will not be needed or wanted by Coach Chow at the University of Hawaii. Wake up call. The opportunities will be reserved for those players that have the skill and are 6-3 and up on the LOS and 6ft to 6-3 at LB, 5-10 to 6-1 at DB, 6-1 to 6-3 at WR, 6-3 to 6-6 at TE, 5-10 to 6-1 at RB, 6-2 to 6-4 at QB. But that is just a rough Idea I am sure there are diamonds in the ruff and exceptions to the rule. But 5-10 Olineman, there is no place for you in the Norm Chow Pro style power game.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:12 pm

Is the Kahuku LB over 6'?
January 9th, 2012 at 9:19 pm
I just realized that the upcoming football season will actually give us a chance to see what our RB's can really do. In the RnS, they basically only ran on the draw, which is a lot different out of the gun. The linemen always had to sell the pass. The RB's never really had the opportunity show what they can do with big linemen creating running lanes.
I'm excited about that.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:24 pm
Holy smokes....Kiha and Leo on the same line?!?! Wow....I can't wait until February 1. Awesome!!! And congratulations, ST on being named Sportswriter of the Year. Well deserved!!!

Kiha Sai? You mean Mayor Billy Kenoi's nephew? Awesome.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:39 pm
I wonder how Chow will utilize our current crop of receivers...especially the slots. Will Stutzman, Harding, Sampson, and the others have much of a role?

January 9th, 2012 at 9:43 pm
tonight's game was not a national championship game and lsu coaching staff sucks. i had no bets on the game, but i expected this to be a good solid football game. instead, it was a DUD!!!!!
January 9th, 2012 at 9:47 pm
I think that Kiha Sai and DeForest Buckner need to resume their battle on the grass field at UH this summer. Man, those two guys were going at it on the video.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:50 pm
Come on whitey, a dud? . . . really? That was a physical, defensive ball game. If anything, I think LSU should have given Jarrett Lee a chance to play. Afterall, all he did wasgot win the first half of the season for LSU. But he got bit by the interception bug and never got his chance again. Doesn't really seem fair, especially since Jefferson was very ineffective tonight.
But I disagree with the dud assessment. Alabama folks, is really that good. And so is LSU's defense. Kept Bama out of the endzone all night but once. I also think Alabama was only penalized once during the entire game. That is disciplined, hard nosed football.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:50 pm
Don't forget the two tiered justice system we have in this country as well. When the rich have their own majority in the Supreme Court you know the fix is in and you're living in a world where the average person goes to prison for minor things and the rich can do anything short of murdering a person on camera and not be worried in the least about being arrested.wow gold
January 9th, 2012 at 9:50 pm
Kiha Sai sounds like a very promising recruit.
Congrats ST on your award. Kinda diminishes the award when Dave Vinton is the Sportscaster of the Year, really???
January 9th, 2012 at 9:51 pm
many made fun of hawaii's loss in the sugar bowl, but tonights game was a total joke. this game was 10 times worse than hawaii's loss to georgia. lsu or losers couldn't even make a first down in a quarter and half, no score, and hardly ever made it pass the 50 yds line.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:51 pm
I think "wasgot" in my previous post is supposed to be "was go out and"
January 9th, 2012 at 9:52 pm
Wouldn't mind seeing Leo Koloamatangi and Luke Kaumatule going at it in practice also. It'd be fun to watch all of the bear cubs getting after each other.
Gotta get Matt Sparks and Shane Brostek to join in on the fun too.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:52 pm
kev-1, you have your opinion I have mine, and lsu sucks.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:54 pm
WHAT?????? Are you kidding me? You are seriously going to compare that to the Sugar Bowl with UH and Georgia? Wow. I don't even know what to say. You don't think any of that has to do with Alabama's defense?
That's okay. Your opinion I guess.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:55 pm
That's cool.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:55 pm
whitey - Dud for LSU, they didn't show up only because Alabama didn't let them. Awesome defensive game if you are into that kind of stuff and I'm into that kind of stuff. They imposed their will over LSU.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:56 pm
like i said you have your opinion i have mine.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:58 pm
Now I would like to see Alabama vs Oklahoma St. I would love to see a high powered pass attack against that D. I still think Bama would win, but it has a chance to be a really good game.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:01 pm
i neva said anything about alabama's defense, all i said was that lsu sucks. why did the tv keep showing the second team qb of lsu when their first team qb was totally not in the game??? this is not the nfl, if one is not helping the team, pull him out, talk to him and explain why and if he understands, put him back in, but no, lsu kept thinking that it could make a game of it without changes. sound familiar????
January 9th, 2012 at 10:04 pm
Now I agree with you there whitey. Jefferson's head wasn't in the game from the very beginning. You could see he was overly emotional about stuff. Snapping at teammates and swearing, etc. They should have made a change, that's for sure. Heck, I don't think Jefferson should have even gotten back the job to begin with.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:06 pm
Yep. Alabama made LSU look sucky. Can't take anything away from LSU though since the did have a good season leading up to this game. Can't have a good game every game.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:16 pm
So.. did someone answer my question? What we saw in the NC game.. was that Pro-Style football? What we will see come next season?
January 9th, 2012 at 10:16 pm
believe it or not, i thought lsu was going to beat alabama because of their success during the regular season and winning their conference championship, plus they had over a month to prepare for this game. One game only, over one month to prepare. Even when they were down 9-0 at the half, i still felt they would correct their offensive and defensive alignments, but no, they stayed in the same mode and that is why the coaching staff sucks.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:20 pm
and by the way, it wasn't only the alabama defense, their offense was very good and they showed that by having a month to prepare they were ready. i give coach saban credit for game prep and execution.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:22 pm
now that da warriors have a new coaching staff and we start preparing for another season, i hope they learned or re-learned from this game and they avoid getting into the same game situation as losers.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:24 pm
Alabama's defense looked awfully good, a "shut down" defense. Like many of the upper tier teams, the speed and talent, size included, shows up in their four and five star recruits for both teams. The offense did not seem as prolific and lends credence to the say "Defense wins championships". This is the standard that Chow is use to but getting those recruits will be a major, major challenge.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:24 pm
Wholly smokes!! Watched the Sia video. Sia owned that Oregon recruit BIG TIME!! He has a mean streak and finishes his blocks well...at least from what I saw on the video.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:28 pm
Alabama's defense is good, no doubt. But it's not like they were tested in this game.
I would have loved to see if they could actually handle a great offense like Oklahoma St. or Oregon. Or even Boise St. or Houston, which the BCS will never let happen in a billion years even in years that they might deserve it.
Only chance for Hawaii is to get in the Pac-x. Maybe get chance? At least Coach Chow has us dreaming big again...
January 9th, 2012 at 10:30 pm
Defense definetly wins Championships...Bama's D was as good as advertised...

January 9th, 2012 at 10:56 pm
Holy Smokes!
I love those teams but Oregon and B$-You are at a totally different level from the two teams who played tonight. LSU throttled UofO in Week 1 and the Dux couldn't deal with SC's speed and strength. I wouldn't expect the Donks to be able to come up to that level either.
How can anyone say that either team had a bad offense? Aside from the two games they played against each other they both averaged about 40 ppg!
And again, LSU beat eight Top 25 teams in the regular season including a #2 and two #3 ranked teams, including two at neutral sites and three on the road. ('Bama beat 5 Top 25 teams, 3 on the road and one at neutral site)
That 'Bama, arguably, out-played LSU twice this season to me, says these two were far and away the best two teams this year.

January 10th, 2012 at 12:17 am
Didn't say the offenses were bad, just that there were much better ones out there this year and the ONLY objective way to prove it is on the field. Everything else is just subjective. After all, Oregon did score more against LSU in one game than Alabama did against them in two games combined.
In EVERY other sport it doesn't matter who's "better". It only matters who wins. Not always the same thing. The "better" team doesn't always win. It's about matchups, not talent alone. Just watch March Madness. That's why they decide by actually playing the game...unless you're the B(C)S of course...
Maybe I should explain the motivation behind my passion which I would hope you share. I dream of Hawaii making it to the title game in my lifetime. In basketball, it's possible. In football, as it stands, not possible. Because no matter how good they are, they will never get the chance.
Remember, in 2009 an undefeated Utah team played in the Sugar Bowl against a one-loss Alabama team that had spent several weeks ranked #1. Of course Alabama was obviously far and away the better team right? But Utah blew them out. You never know. All I'm saying is that it deserves to be decided on the field.
January 10th, 2012 at 12:22 am
Well Al, Kiha Sai, Matt Sparks, and Shane Brostek will all be good ball players in my opinion. Would be great to see all three of those guys lining up next to Kolomatangi and Adams. There's another Kolomatangi that's still available. 6'3" 275 pound Viliami Koloamatangi out of Arizona would be a nice get.
January 10th, 2012 at 12:27 am
are they related?
also heard that there is a 6'7" koloamatangi who is a tight end.
January 10th, 2012 at 12:31 am
Can you imagine Kiha Sai as a space eating defensive tackle?
January 10th, 2012 at 12:35 am
#507 - Jeremiah Valoaga at 6-7 215 would be just as good at tight end.

I like how Coach Chow is doing the announcements. If he puts da names of the recruits out there, then the Pac 12 teams gonna try scoop up our guys. I liked what I read about Alabama and LSU, that they have a history of keeping their homey top recruits at home.
I like how Coach Chow is trying to do the same for us.
Go Coach Chow. Show the bruddaz how smart you really are. You're doing great in the keep the trap shut department!
Go Warriors!

congrats to the Sai ohana,
great family, older brother Kapua at Utah will have some great discussions with younger brother Kiha about Coach Chow. Kiha is a great kid, a work in progress (like all of us) but he has the rack and we have the coaches.
Kiha, welcome to the Warrior ohana, now does that mean we have access to our very own resident dr. regarding the overthrow of the Hawaiian government and subsequent land issues.....haha, tell your dad i said howzit, and give your hard working mom a big hug from da Eastman ohana.
GO WARRIORS
GO WILDCATS

Good Morning Gangeez!
"Das about 1,000 more fans at the game from da Sai side of da family. Only going get 700 fans from da Kenoi side of da family, cause da air fare stay expensive for come from da Big, I mean Hawai'i Island."
Kiha!!! Wihaaaaaa!!!
I spoke to Kiha's Pops about a month ago and Utah sounded like a lock for his son. Its great news that Kiha's staying home.
Twenty something years ago when Kiha's parents, Keanu and Kina were getting together, I told them both that any boys they had were going to be stallions! Sure enough both sons are bruisers, with brains to match! Grampa Kenoi is huge, too!
This is a great get for UH football! Kiha sure looks like his uncle Billy in that pic. If the honorable Mayor Kenoi is reading, I mean that in the best way.

Come on man . . . how do you bust Snoop Dog for a couple of joints? That's like busting a diabetic for carrying around syringes. If you're going to arrest Snoop for possession of marijuana, you might as well arrest him everytime you see him.
