Delay of game
By Stephen Tsai
Quarterback Aaron Zwahlen of Thomas Downey High (Modesto, Calif.) will sign a letter of intent with the Warriors on Feb. 6, but will delay the start of his UH career until 2015, when he completes a two-year church mission.
Zwahlen initially wanted to attend UH for a year before going on the mission.
In October, the Mormon church lowered the minimum age, from 19 to 18, for a man to begin a church mission. Zwahlen said he will go on a mission after graduating in June. He said he expects to join the Warriors in the spring of 2015.
* * * * *
There are two views to the Warriors' local recruiting:
• They received commitments from five of 11 players who were offered scholarships.
• They received commitments from three of the top five on their list.
Defensive tackle Kennedy Tulimasealii of Waianae, offensive lineman John Wa‘a of Kahuku, linebackers Ualesi Sale of Aiea and Rashaan Falemalu of Kahuku, and quarterback Keelan Ewaliko have made oral commitments to the Warriors.
It appears Punahou linebacker Isaac Savaiinaea and Saint Louis offensive lineman Reeve Koehler will sign elsewhere.
Defensive back Kawe Johnson turned down a grayshirt offer from the Warriors to commit to New Mexico State.

Awesome. So what is our whole recruiting class look like this year.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:34 am
Does that mean we are actively recruiting another QB?

He will come back a better person. Congrats to him and see him in 2015
December 18th, 2012 at 7:41 am
UH will not be recruiting another quarterback for this class.
But apparently there are some whispers about a quarterback inquiring about transferring.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:43 am
There actually are a few potential bounce-back players. It could get interesting in January.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:45 am
that extra 20-25 lbs that a.z. will pick up over the next two years will be a good thing. hopefully he packs a football and a wr or two with him.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:46 am
2013:
Seniors — Sean Schroeder, Cayman Shutter
Juniors — Taylor Graham, Jeremy Higgins
Freshman — Ikaika Woolsey
December 18th, 2012 at 7:48 am
it is interesting because every year there are a handful of worthy
transfer eligible players, especially qb's.
now that chow is here we've become a more highly sought after choice by these young men.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:49 am
Morning Tsaikos!
While its important to find the right successor to fill the rest of Inouye's term, I think it's equally important to find the appropriate memorial to honor the man.
John Burns has his Medical School.
William Richardson has his School of Law.
Les Murakami has his Rainbow Stadium.
How about 'Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu'? It will keep his name forever alive throughout the world.
Any other suggestion?
December 18th, 2012 at 7:49 am
The Warriors also have been looking at Punahou running back Ryan Tuiasoa.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:50 am
yes, fill in the blanks.
we don't have a soph qb and only one frosh qb. it would be good to have a body or two. i hear good things about woolsey.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:50 am
Tell Isaac and Reeve they have a chance to be part of a new beginning and something very special and represent the home state and family...why would you want to play for Kansas or Arkansas? Nobody will know you over there. And it will be a culture shock. If their recruiting visits are in January, it's going to be very cold...maybe that will change their minds.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:52 am
Tigi Hill and Charles Tua‘au can be considered local commitments.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:53 am
It appears that UCLA has emerged as the favorite for Savaiinaea.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:54 am
tuiasoa has often been overlooked by recruiters in general becaus of his forty times which are a tad lower than the standard for his position. others want him as a linebacker.
however, recently ucla has taken up an interest in him which could start the bandwagon.
i like the way he is a gamer and has improved by leaps and bounds each year as a power back with great vision as well. he could challenge iosefa in a year or two.
having he and lakalaka would be a great pair back there.
we've had great success with local boy running backs, so why not?
besides wily will go on a mission soon after he graduates.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:55 am
Usually I do not learn post on blogs, however I wish to say that this write-up very compelled me to try and do it! Your writing taste has been surprised me. Thanks, quite nice post.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:56 am
thought for the day...pair az and wily on a mission.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:58 am
yes, ucla has taken a recent interest in reeve as well as the pun lb'er. there are a few more local boys high on the westwood campus' list, too.
hopefully, we can safeguard our potential assets.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:58 am
Big picture, I think the grayshirt offer would have been better for Johnson. Gives him an extra year to develop, adjust to college. Plus, UH is in a better conference. Heck, it is in a conference.
But, hey, bird in hand. He gets to play in 2013. And all praise to anyone who can get a free college education.
December 18th, 2012 at 8:04 am
note to pun lb'er parents. it will still cost a lot of money to travel back and forth to the west coast and elsewhere to follow the son's developement over the next four years.
just tossing it out there...
12 games at $1500 for two air only. hotel for two nights plus incidentals add another $500. that would sum up to no less than $24,000 per year or around $100k for four years.
and this is without frequent stops to "inn and out burger".
whereas the price of gas is much more affordable than flying the friendly skies.
December 18th, 2012 at 8:04 am
I belive it's laughable that the Star Advertiser says that Hawaii "could" lose dollars with the demise of Senator Inouye.
COULD???? why kid yourself when the members of the Senate will think of many ways to divert $$ destined for Hawaii in the future to their own home state.
No, I say WILL!!!!!!!
December 18th, 2012 at 8:05 am
I think it's Kansas or Arkansas for Koehler.
December 18th, 2012 at 8:08 am
Good Morning Gangeez!

I can attest to your assessment of those mainland trips...you should see my credit card statement!
December 18th, 2012 at 8:11 am
Koehler who? Next. I'm a fan of UH athletics not Kansas or Arkansas. Wish him the best but I could care less where he ends up if it's not the Warriors baby.
December 18th, 2012 at 8:15 am
#26 ST - as I said before, these guys that go to play out-of-state, how many of them will be remembered should they return to Hawaii after their playing years?
The running backs that went to Idaho and Cal - are they back in Hawaii? What are their names to the casual football fans? Yet the guys that have played for Hawaii are still remembered - even if they dropped a pass in the endzone against BYU!
December 18th, 2012 at 8:23 am

Good morning Tsaikos!
A-house: the passing of Sen Inouye was dreaded by all local Federal employees. Look for reporting jurisdictions to change. Corps of Engineers Pacific Ocean DIVISION (HI, AK, AS, GU, Far East) may become a DISTRICT under the Western DIVISION based in California.

#25 -You got that right, Colonel A-house -
But look at the bright side of things - NOTHING gets done by the Senate or the Congress these days. Except a lot of posturing and outrage (real or imagined) across the aisles.
December 18th, 2012 at 8:37 am
I am in accord with Pono - good luck to all local athletes who go elsewhere, but I am strictly a UH fan only.
tom mui: #31 - Midori 7 still steams when recalling that dropped pass in the endzone against BYU. ah, such is life as it took many years thereafter before Garret Gabriel and team mates were able to complete a solid "back-to-back" lickens of BYU.
December 18th, 2012 at 8:39 am
"I understand that powerful members of the media are exempt because they are held to a higher calling."
Yes... so powerful that even Santa Claus will do them favors.
December 18th, 2012 at 8:44 am
Col. -
I'll betcha every hard core UH fan remembers where they were and what they were doing when that pass was dropped. I was baby sitting a bunch of intermediate school kids with former UH tight end Chris Fife, watching the game on the tube. That was the first and last time I ever heard Chris utter a profanity, albeit, under his breath.

DPK:
right you are on the current do nothing Congress!! - should we blame the President or Republicans? - I vote for the latter as their sole purpose from 2008 was to limit the "local boy" to a one-term President and therefore blocked every attempt to have the nation climb out of the severe recession - the "jobs bill" would have been a blessing to hundreds of thousands of Americans - employed or unemployed.
yet, jm2375 has a very valid point - we may never realize the breath and depth of Senator Inouye's influence, but for sure it will come upon us in the next 5 years.

ST is right, anytime you get a free education you cannot complain. However, my allegiance is with the Warriors so if you ain't playing for them I don't have enough time to follow local boys who have chosen to play for other teams unless they are relatives.

December 18th, 2012 at 9:08 am
Federal workers and contractors that deal primarily with federal projects should be a bit worried.
While post-Ted Steven's Alaska did not suffer severe reduction in federal monies overall. A lot of this may be attributed to having native Alaskan tribal recognition that require federal support and federal land holdings in Alaska. It is worth nothing that military spending in Alaska dropped nearly 90% after the passing of Stevens.
There is good reason to be worried but I pray that Inouye treated the most senior members well and in turn they will help out our junior delegation during the appropriation process. Don't kid yourself though, things will change in due time.
December 18th, 2012 at 9:08 am
Savaiinaea and Koehler would be bonuses if they commit to UH. There's too many high profile schools after them for UH to have a decent shot at either of them. UH would need to be extremely lucky to get either of them. I think Chow has done a great job for UH just to be considered one of the final choices for Savaiinaea and Koehler.
Hopefully Zwahlen, will return in 2015. Presumably, that means he'll be in open competition for the starting QB job after Graham graduates. You can count on BYU actively recruiting him during his entire 2 year mission, starting during his training through his return. I wouldn't be surprised if they slip a few pictures and words of encouragement from Steve Young or Ty Detmer in his Book of Mormon.

the Mormon church lowered the minimum age, from 19 to 18, for a man to begin a church mission..
can women go on lds missions?
December 18th, 2012 at 9:32 am
I think with this class you focus on who we got rather than what we don't. Not putting down the St. Louis or Punahou boy but we got some very talented HS recruits as talented or maybe even better upside in athleticism.
Wa'a
Sale
Ekuale
Satakielu (spl?)
Throw in the JC guys like Hill, Allen, Tua'au etc.....and we got a pretty talented class on paper. Maybe the top class player for player in a very long time. If these guys perform on the field as much as their hype and film precede them we got a bright future for Hawaii Warrior football.
One thing I can say....I commend and thank both boys for giving UH a consideration, the St. Louis boy took an official visit and the Punahou boy was a regular at home games on the sideline. They kept their options open and if UH wasn't a good fit then god bless them in their selection, all the aloha and success to them.

In response to #14 and #19, I am glad that Ryan Tuiasoa is getting some recruiting attention. I don't know all the details, but wasn't he a linebacker last year who changed to RB to help his team out, going into his senior season no less? Obviously, he put up huge numbers and also showed that he could be a productive receiver coming out of the backfield. Helping out the team by changing positions and showing ability and playing a key role in getting to the State Championship game hopefully will be rewarded with a D1 offer?

Good morning everyone!
...taking advantage of the slow blog clock again.
December 18th, 2012 at 11:48 am
Dan Inouye
Naming the airport after Dan is a good idea. Other good ideas might include the renaming the East West Center, or the Hawaii State Capitol, or the Rail, or some other major structure or institution.
Next senator
Ed Case is a good choice. Neil will likely nominate another haole like himself, and this is okay with me, but I highly doubt he will nominate Hanabusa. If he did nominate Hanabusa, we would have an all-female congressional contingent. Imagine that.
Recruiting
Nice recruiting class. Now, let's see what chow does with these chess pieces.
Coaches
We need a Brian Te'o-like coach. Now. For the reasons I previously stated.
Guys who choose mainland schools
More power to you, young men. We will continue to cheer for you nonetheless. Hopefully, chow will do a good job of winning games and this will give future prospects a better reason for choosing UH over some other school. Best of luck to Savaiinaea and Koehler.
December 18th, 2012 at 11:50 am
Correction. Neil would appoint, not nominate.

Tanks Ah! Much mahalos for your updates. I'm not sure if there was ever a wahine athlete at UH who went on an LDS mission. I guess the age requirement made it more difficult for women student athletes in the past.
December 18th, 2012 at 12:16 pm
#78 why not. it represents the whole pacific region which Inouye represented during his life time. if its a federal thing shouldn't matter he served with dignity.

December 18th, 2012 at 12:26 pm
New UHAD should have been introduced the day it was decided, but alas, only in Hawaii, do we go through all the "hoops" before anything can be done.
Some must have the moral courage in the Legislature to look at and recommend changing our "hiring laws" so we don't continue to look so "paternalistic". Heavans, the 40s and 50s are long gone and we have a long memory of what it was like back then!
December 18th, 2012 at 12:34 pm
I vote for Ed Case being appointed to fill Senator Inouye's last 2 years of his current term - he knows his way around Congress and, hopefully, made many friends while in the US House. This would make him the "senior" Senator from Hawaii as Mazie does not move over until January. Like the military, even a single day of seniority makes a BIG difference.
I supported him in his quest to unseat Senator Akaka so we would not be in the situation Hawaii is in now for Senate seniority - believe the old Demo establishment wanted to give Akaka a last shot at passing his bill, but, the Republican party would never allow that - in the House and Senate - they would fillabuster it to death.
History will record how Hawaii will fare without Senator Dan - I will be long gone when the results are known unless I become a "centarian" ( and in good health ).
December 18th, 2012 at 12:40 pm
Although Abe M would be available, I prefer UH continue to allow the young Oline to mature and make significant contributions in the next 2-3 years.
At first I thought Shigematsu would be a good LT, but watching his slow feet makes him a better candidate for a "guard"; this may occur with the new recruits from 2012 and 2013 - much like Ituapati from Idaho now with the 49ers.
The other player who I thought would make a good tackle is Loefner (sp) from Hilo. Is he still injured? can be ready for Spring ball?
December 18th, 2012 at 12:49 pm
I would think Abercrombie will appoint someone who will have the best chance of winning the 2014 election for the remainder of Inouye's term (ends in 2016). This gives Hawaii continuity in the Senate for at least 4 years (same person).
Looking forward to see who signs on Feb. 6, 2013.
December 18th, 2012 at 12:51 pm
As I said the other day... 2 of the major recruiting websites have UH as the top recruiting class in the MWC at this point. Nothing is for sure until the LOI is signed, but so far, Chow is doing an outstanding job in his first full recruiting cycle.
December 18th, 2012 at 12:52 pm
Hi Slugger!
Independent Thinker, Glad you agree about the airport. When someone says they're landing at Kennedy, you immediately know theyre talking about John Kennedy and New York. If the airport is named after him, hopefully, everyone will associate Inouye International with Dan Inouye and Hawaii.
Sorry to be off topic.
December 18th, 2012 at 12:58 pm
If they do rename the airport I hope it doesn't take long for people to notice the name change. I still refer to Macy's as Liberty House and Don Quijote as Daiei. But no matter it would be an honor to have the airport renamed.
December 18th, 2012 at 1:00 pm
@Former UH Athlete
Since you have been doing the research, what do the other major recruiting sites say about the Warrior's recruiting class?
December 18th, 2012 at 1:00 pm
I agree with the idea of an Inouye International airport...As for a successor, I'd like to think that Dan's recommendation of Hanabusa is what we should go with. That leaves the congressional seat open for an election next year and I'm sure Lingle will run for it.
For really important stuff...I think we should actively recruit a "game breaker" type runner versus a QB at this point. The kid from Florida looks like a good get, but we need speed...and lots of it.

December 18th, 2012 at 1:09 pm
96. Defensively we are much improved.
Offensively, still have a few holes. No real pass catching TEs. Long is a JC transfer that is more of a blocking TE. 3 JUCO WRs is not really the answer to our troubles to me. 1 quality one would have been perfect. I think Haynes is the right guy. We still need to bring in a All Purpose type RB in my opinion. I'd hope to get a pass catching TE or FR WR. And you're only as good as your QB play and as of right now, we dont have much at the QB spot. We have 1 unproven QB with a lot of upside. But he only has 2 years so we need to add one.
December 18th, 2012 at 1:12 pm
#74, yes, Northern Iowa is a strong FCS program that has had some wins over FBS programs.
So UH's 2014 out-of-conference schedule looks like this:
8/30 Washington
9/06 Oregon State
9/13 Northern Iowa
9/20 @ Colorado
Some tough competition, but it's good to open with three at home.

If Chow can land one more immediate upgrade on the Offensive line, UH will be a good team next year and for years to come.
The secondary is very solid (probably UH's best unit assuming Edwards stays).
The LBs will be good if the freshmen add size. This may be the most competitive position battles in spring and fall camps with the new comers and improved returnees. Competition will lead to higher quality play.
DL has several upgrades coming in plus everybody will be healthy. UH will be better on this unit.
That means all three defensive units should all be improved.
On the offense...
One upgrade recruit at OL so far (Griffin). Clarke will be very good. The others are still questionable (OL is UH's weakest unit heading into 2013)
RB is very solid and deep (best unit on offense)
WR should be improved... I see at least one immediate upgrade in this class. Have to wait and see
QB will be vastly improved... Graham has a real D1 arm and Woosley looks to be solid also.
The offense will be vastly improved in 2013. The main question mark is still the OL... Can it protect the QB?
December 18th, 2012 at 1:24 pm
I would recruit another freshman QB or a JC QB, preferably someone who can run the spread offense.If you get a transfer from a DI school, that player has to sit out the year. My feeling are that Schroeder, Shutter, and Higgins are probably not the answer to backup Graham. Woolsey hasn't seen action yet so we are not sure if he can be the backup. Graham is clearly the favorite for the starting job, but he's been 2 years removed from playing a game also. Real experience is the big question. So, get a frosh or JC and let em compete. Who knows maybe we'll get a gem! You never know. Recruit a player who is an athlete who can run and throw, a dual QB. There are a lot of guys like that, but the key thing is, does that player makes plays and is that player has poise, the intangibles. You can probably sell the recruit on the opportunity to have playing time right away if he makes an impression in camp.
Remember, Aaron Rodgers and Cam Newton went the JC route too. So did Jeremy Masoli.
And Nick Rolovich.

naming the airport after senator dan would be nice or renaming the punchbowl memorial to the daniel k. inouye national veteran's memorial would be nice too.

December 18th, 2012 at 2:02 pm
Good ting Santa still taking entries on his Wish List. If not for the comments here the coaches seemingly wouldn't know what the team needs!
So far get requests for:
- A spread QB with a golden arm
- A future Canton enshrinee RB
- A mobile, agile, hostile Space Eater DT/NT
- A coupla gazelle-like WR's with 15" hand spans
- A "Blind-side" quality OT
- A 80-catch TE who can pass pro, run block and sell hotdogs at halftime....
...but, eh. No try tell me da guys on da team last year wasn't good enough for ween! Was da dang coach's fault!
Sheesh!
December 18th, 2012 at 2:05 pm
not liking case as replacement understand ahouse rational but must have others with similar age and experiences. his earlier over eagerness turned me off. I think senator Dan must have felt the same.

ST & Tsaiko Blog Dogs:
I don't know about the rest of you but for a war hero and medal of honor recipient, I would rather that either Schofield or Shafter be renamed for Dan. Schofield and Shafter had little connection with the Pacific theater. Their medals were from the Civil War. At least Dan was born and raised in the Pacific.
December 18th, 2012 at 2:18 pm
ST & Tsaiko Blog Dogs:
Forgot to mention that Schofield's Medal of Honor was a self nomination.
December 18th, 2012 at 2:21 pm
A-House #93 if seniority is your concern, it would seem that only Ed Case and/or Brian Schotz would be the more prominent ones, age-wise.
It takes maybe three terms to get up there in seniority (18-years). Representative Hanabusa is 61 (or so) and would be 79 before she gets up in the ranks!
Unfortunately, seniority comes only with age and not necessarily with ability!
December 18th, 2012 at 2:23 pm
They should change the name of the Pacific to Dan's Ocean. It was only named because of an explorer. Time to change it to more current history.
December 18th, 2012 at 2:28 pm
So much of his Congressionally related praise is focused on his ability to "work across the aisle" to get things done for the nation and Hawaii.
Certainly the power he wielded had much to do with the "reasonableness" that his opponents displayed in working with him but DKI seemingly had true statesman abilities when it came to consensus building.
Of the possible successors discussed here it seems to me that only Ed Case comes close to displaying that same ability.
IMO the team of Hirono and Hanabusa would only brand our Senate delegation as true Blue party hacks.
December 18th, 2012 at 2:31 pm
#118 IWWTHM:
Hate to bring up problems/controversy and offend people who revere black and gold. But McKinley was not the world's greatest president. His claim to fame was he was assassinated while in office.
Dan was a graduate of that school so it may be fitting to name that school after him
December 18th, 2012 at 2:32 pm
Or was the inquirying QB, former UDub and Mt.SAC dude, Nick Montana, son of Joe?
If so he committed to Tulane, with 2-to play-2
December 18th, 2012 at 2:32 pm
Certainly DKI has a reason why he wants Hanabusa.
December 18th, 2012 at 2:33 pm

I doubt it was former Virginia QB Michael Rocco, who has granted a release from the Cavs, last week.
December 18th, 2012 at 3:01 pm
Senority is good but over rated.
Senator Dan made his bones because of ability and senority. He commanded respect from waaay back. Our girls in Congress may have the ability but they don't garner the type of respect Senator Dan got almost from the beginning of his Congressional career.
His peers understood the rags to glory journey he took to get there. They knew he wasn't a popularity contest winner like many of them were. They recognized early on that beneath that one armed, dimunitive Asian exterior beat the heart of a fighter and the will of a champion.
Hanabusa is probably in the lead--see her as a Patsy Mink "lite". Mufi and Case know their way around DC but are ofter times blinded by ambition. Shatz is a "good soldier", given the LG job because of his years of service and loyalty to the Party.
DIK International AP sounds good to me also.
December 18th, 2012 at 3:07 pm
Will-i-am- doubt the airport code would change. When they renamed Washington National Airport to Reagan National Airport, the code remained DCA. (Still can't get used to calling it Reagan National, since he was president when I lived in the area.)

December 18th, 2012 at 3:16 pm
Thoughts:
NO! - To airport being named after Dan Inouye. There is nothing wrong with Honolulu International.
NO! - To Hanabusa being named to replacement. I have had enough, in fact I am sick of the "Old Boy" non-sense, and Hanabusa, along with Mazie were the two little sister that were allowed to play with the big boys. That's my wish, but I know Abercrombie is card-carrying member of the "Old Boys".
Makes me sick!

Mahalo,

December 18th, 2012 at 3:45 pm
If they change Sen. Inouye's alma mater, McKinley HS to Inouye HS, they got to change the statue in front. Too much work and complicated for the DOE. Go with the airport.
Someone to replace Senator who is young, Billy Kenoi. Young, smart Hawaiian, kinda on the wild side, but smart.

December 18th, 2012 at 4:01 pm
HiFlyer -
You are right. The airport was originally named John Rodgers Airport after the WW1 veteran. Renamed to Honolulu Airport in 1947, then to Honolulu International Airport in 1951. All this according to Wikipedia. I believe there is now a terminal honoring Rodgers.
December 18th, 2012 at 4:06 pm
koakane, et al.:
When you guys talk about renaming "punchbowl" in tribute to S.S., are you referring to:
1. Punchbowl Street,
2. the Punchbowl neighborhood,
3. the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, or
4. something else altogether?

John Ursua could be our savior at point guard, in my opinion. We have to wait until 2014 however. I saw his highlights on film and he's terrific. Definitely, can play ff and bb like Miah.
December 18th, 2012 at 4:40 pm
Al, must be brain lock or senior moment. How can I forget my all time favorite UH football player, Colt Brennan.
70% completion pct., 177% passing efficiency, 3rd in Heisman voting in 2007, 12-0 season, Sugar Bowl, 58 touchdown passes in 2006., The announcement to return. It was the best of times in Uh football history.

Imagine the Hawaii Bowl fans from SMU landing and instead of hearing the traditional "Welcome to Honolulu International Airport," they hear the Senator's name. They would prolly suffer a mild panic attack as they think perhaps they boarded the wrong flight and ended up in Japan!
My point is, the airport brands who and where we are. We shouldn't change that.
I would much prefer the planned construction of the Military Multi-operational Center to be named in his honor. It would be like the JFK Special Warfare Center named for President Kennedy. An appropriate choice since it was the Senior Senator who ear marked the funding for it.
Other considerations:
A Law library...yes!
The next new UH Pan Pacific building...yes!
The new VA hospital planned for the Ewa Plains...very appropriate!
December 18th, 2012 at 5:28 pm
Screw the fans from SMU, let them have their panic attack.
December 18th, 2012 at 5:28 pm
#146, WM, they mean option 4. They want to rename a blogger Da Inouye Kid.
December 18th, 2012 at 5:57 pm
Rename Ala Moana shopping center the Dan Inouye shopping center. He was raised and went to school in the Mccully area. He brought in millions for Hawaii, we should all spend millions at "The Dan".

Hmmm, seems we had this conversation before now that I think about it.

derek...you did say you were a senior didn't you?. i understand because my mom does that too.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:04 pm
I'd say they were top five replacing wm burger.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:05 pm
The Counter makes pretty good burgers. Been there a couple of times with Don Weir and other suspects. Unfortunately, I was late with JMxxxx suggestion of getting Groupon for The Hamburger Company.
Should eat at one place and the other the next day to make a valid comparison. But I like them both.
AL, being the expert on burgers, probably can give a better take on the burger scene in Honolulu (and Las Vegas).

Utah State's Gary Andersen said that he will be taking most of his staff with him, including DC Dave Aranda, who turned down jobs at Texas Tech and NC State.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:35 pm
Gary Andersen was earning a base salary of $330,000 at USU. He could be earning upwards of $2 million a year at Wisconsin. Probably an offer and opportunity that he couldn't refuse, particularly for his family's future. Big time move. Big time money.
Feel bad for the USU players, though. This is almost a complete gutting of USU's program with most of the assistants leaving for Wisconsin.

The "Committee" made the right call in over ruling JD's 1st choice. There's a lesson to be learned from SJSU, USU and LaTech when selecting a new head coach. Money usually trumps loyalty in the coaching business.
At this point in his career money is less of a factor for Chow. Building something his Home State can be proud of is his biggest motivation. He hasn't asked for much from the school and fans other than PATIENCE.

As a graduate of McKinley high, I was outraged when there was suggestion that McKinley be renamed for President Obama. Nothing against Obama, but what did he have to do with MHS?
Now, Senator Dan Inouye... I am not convinced, but I am not outraged at the suggestion. His high school too, and it known as "Japan High", as Al could tell you. Inouye's work and support for his fellow nisei and our generation was lifelong. McKinley High made 100 years old when I was there, so if a new building or complex should be added to this historical site, it should be named after Inouye.

I wouldn't be surprised if the rail system is named after Senator Daniel K. Inouye-Daniel K. Inouye Rail System! Someone mentioned earlier that Honolulu International Airport should be renamed to "Daniel K. Inouye International Airport!" Hawaii's recruiting class is very impressive, but I'm praying that these young men do meet their admission requirements for The University of Hawaii altogether! Also, I can't wait to see them in the Warriors uniform in 2013 as well! Let's go Warriors!
December 19th, 2012 at 12:31 am
Changing Joint Base Hickam Pearl Harbor to Joint Base Inouye would be my choice for honoring Senator Inouye. Or one of the army posts.
A lot of seniors leaving Utah St. to go with the coaching staff. We should be playing them at home next season if they stick to skipping Wyoming on the schedule. That's a winner!

what state/country are you in?

"Toyko High"? I didn't want to promote debate on it - but someone mentioned naming a school after Senator Inouye! My late father-in-law probably would lambast me for such a suggestion - his picture is hung in the school's "whose that".
(Teddy Roosevelt and Lincoln should not be touched. There is always the "geographical schools" like Kailua, Aina Hina etc but there is no real connection between the Senator and those schools).

Hope they double checked to make sure the fax machine is on and working. I've seen it first hand that someone was waiting for an important fax for hours before realizing the fax machine was not on. Haha.

Yes Happy Hump Day. As the faxes come in, we will be getting over the "hump" and on our way back to a successful program. Go Warriors!
