Manti Te‘o sweepstakes underway
May 16th, 2008 by Stephen TsaiForget skyrocketing gas prices and air fares.
The number of visiting football coaches is on the rise.
The 2009 recruiting class — this year's high school juniors — is considered to be one of the best in a long time.
The valedictorian is Punahou outisde linebacker Manti Te‘o, who reportedly has received interest from 30 colleges. Norm Chow, now with UCLA, has been leading the way.
By a quirky NCAA rule, only college assistant coaches — not head coaches — are allowed to have direct contact with prospects during this period. By the way, Teo's first cousin is UH recruit Paipai Falemalu.
* * *
I hope all of you have enjoyed Wes Nakama's excellent reports on Sarah Robinson. It's a preview for next year, when Robinson succeeds sister Kate on the Rainbow Wahine roster.

30 colleges interested in Teo? WOW!
WarriorMojo needs to start chanting "I want Manti!", "I want Manti!" now for us to have chance!
May 16th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
oops, sorry
Teo = Te'o
May 16th, 2008 at 12:24 pm

May 16th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
i give up.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Are the Hawaii coaches beginning to offer any high school players? I'm hoping we don't get on players to late while everyone else is in constant contact with the recruits.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
We'll have a special prize for Bonar when he is indeed "first."
May 16th, 2008 at 12:27 pm

May 16th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
i wonder who the other 8 local recruits that will be offered?
he did say that they have identified 10 local boys that they will be offering early.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
give up what eva numba I stay
May 16th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
Ryan:
They've offered quite a few.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
In the past, I might have thought, "No way we get a recruit like Te‘o, especially a defensive player." Not now, not under Mack. "Recruiting is the lifeblood..."
May 16th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
That number "10" isn't quite accurate. C'mon, now I know some of my peeps have been creepin' when I wasn't looking.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
don't you all just like the way stsai just teases you?
May 16th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
shouting out to A house, Midori7 (small A house), dpk, al (again), jason and tsaiman
eating school lunch again me thinks its boiled or baked chicken with mash potato covered in some kind of butter/oil mix.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
Jason:
UH has been successful in landing local talent in the past. Chang, Rivers, etc. were big recruits.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
there's also a number mainland polynesians that have been offered.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
I am anxious to see how the "new" recruiting sytem at UH does. They seemd a lil complacent in the last coaching regime. Not so with the new bunch. This is why I say a good season is gonna be a big factor in recruiting come January. It would be awesome to get Manti.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Any relation to Shilo Te'o, Kahuku's all state safety?
May 16th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
So I just realized today I'm teaching a hybrid class this summer. I guess that means half face-to-face lecture, half outside linebacker.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
Offensive guys from St. Louis, yeah.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:37 pm
I believe so.
UH could have had the Kahuku safety except it isn't recruiting safeties anymore.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
wondering out loud.....
when jj was here, he would tell the polynesian kids to come play for hawaii, polynesia's team.
so, now what does he say when recruiting a polynesian to smu? come away see the united states. huh?
May 16th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Fale Laeli, Timo Paepule, Rocky Savaiigaea ...
May 16th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
have the coaches had a chance to offer any mainland recruits yet or are they still scouting?
May 16th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
shiloah and manti are cousins.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
some have allegedly been offered.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
Is the Wahine Softball game on the 'tube today? It's only listed as being on the radio...
May 16th, 2008 at 12:44 pm
st
i am wondering if that st. louis grad is coming to visit family or the brothers lee? he is not on an athletic commitment so still can transfer to the home team.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
This should not be on "Warrior Beat" because UH aint got no shot at landing Manti.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
We can dream can't we?
May 16th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
Sarah Robinson pitched a fabulous game last night. Unfortunately, the Moanalua 2B was unable to come up with a ground ball with two outs in extra innings and the winning run scored to break a 0-0 deadlock. My heart just ached for the 2B. Hate to see the winning run scored in that fashion.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
good luck to maiava going to ucla; also with norm chow at ucla is vai tata from ucla/st louis crusader. he will be working with the special teams and helping with the d-line eventually.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
te'o will do well wherever he chooses to go; bottom line, get your degree
May 16th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
duster,
waiakea team looked like a good hitting team. 5 sacred heart errors did not help their cause. mililani looks solid also...exciting watching hs girls softball, lots of energy and passion on the field.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
koakane,
how many school lunches did you eat...no worry nobody counting, but knowing you, i think that 3 would be a good number......j/k
May 16th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Nothing against Fale, Timo, and Rocky, but they weren't five stars. (And yes, I know that stars don't mean anything. I'm talking about a prestige thing.)
May 16th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
is this the 'bulla hour', haha. had some time to check in on everyone....and don't forget the state track meet at mililani this weekend starting today.
lovely vog, driving from kapolei to town, couldn't see past aiea, thought david copperfield was in town and made honolulu vanish......wow.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
jason,
hmmmm, rating by stars.....that is a whole different discussion. 5 stars.....it's all perception, and coaches who select players based solely on a rating service shouldn't be a coach.....a lot of it is hype, who gets seen, who is pushing whose buttons. very interesting as the season develops over the next 9 months.
May 16th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
You guys know what I mean, though. Those hyped up 5 star players, before time, it was always a distant dream, a "what if" that could come true if the player wanted to stay home, but it still seemed so far off until the LOI was signed. But now, it feels like UH is always in the running from the start, that the want to stay home isn't the only thing keeping the player here.
May 16th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
i don't mean to rain on anyone's parade, but the odds of retaining Te'o will be somewhere between slim and none. do a reality check....there is so much more to offer from the other side of the blue Pacific. some people say UH will have a great season and go 11-2; i say at 8-5 Coach Mack should be happy. JJ left for a reason, or maybe a few million reasons, but it was the most opportune time for him to leave. it comes down to dollars and sense, the writing was on the wall.
coach mack will do a great job, his pay was increased ten fold....that should have some bearing on his committment to keep the momentum rolling from last year. he is a good coach, but he cannot produce miracles. our offense is challenged right now, and it will be a key point in their success for this season.
IMUA WARRIORS.....and i hope they have a GREAT SEASON!
May 16th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
At least UH can tell Manti that 2 of the 3 LB positions will be up for grabs next year. Even though UH's chances are very slim, it won't hurt to offer & get denied.
May 16th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
MeiLing is on her way to the stadium- a traffic accident has the freeway all backed up but she is making progress.
May 16th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Bulla,
I'm just a little bit surprised at your small kind lack of faith. I'm sticking to my feeling that the Warriors will shock a lot of people on the Mainland. JJ's teams were very emotional, which is good, but makes it harder to sustain consistent , high level play. I like Coach Mack's disciplined and cold fury approach, mixed with total preparedness of his players.
Playing with total preparedness, cold fury and second nature technique, a high level of play, barring serious injuries, can be sustained throughout the season. You add to that Coach Macks proven ability to make in game adjustments and you will know that the Warriors will not beat themselves this year.
I say it again, the Warriors will shock a lot of people.
As DPK mentioned above, I would not rule out Manti Te'o just yet, as he said and I agree, the success of this season will play a huge part with about half of our top recruits for 09.
May 16th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
I want Manti!
I want Manti!
I want Manti!
How's that Midori? Actually, the Manti story has been developing for two years already as he made a huge splash as a sophomore. From what I've read, it was the family's dream to have the two cousins (Manti and Shiloah) play together at BYU. Shiloah committed to BYU early after a visit from Coach Mendenhall and it kind of seemed that it was game over for Shiloah and probably Manti, too.
Interestingly, though, when Mack got aboard and reached out to our North Shore brothers, there were unofficial rumblings that Shiloah might have been reconsidering staying home. Shiloah was a safety thus ST's post about UH backing off on safetys is interesting because he seems to be suggesting that UH could have landed Shiloah if they had stayed on him. I vaguely remember Shiloah saying something about how he was interested in UH after taking his official visit but that it was "too late" because UH didn't have a scholie available. If I have any of that wrong, I apologize to Shiloah and the whole Te'o family and anybody else that might have been offended.
Anyway, as for Manti, he is clearly the jewel of the 2009 class and I would LOVE to have him play for the Warriors next year. But, aside from BYU, he's been getting early offers from USC, Notre Dame, pretty much EVERYBODY. HIs dad and uncle post regularly on the SportsHawaii board and have repeatedly said that Manti has not committed anywhere yet and could just as well end up at Hawaii as anywhere else. No reason for them to lie, so I gotta believe Hawaii has a legitimate chance. Why not? It's playing at HOME in front of all your friends and family.
May 16th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
Bulla: I'm glad that OC-16 televises State tournament games for so many sports. Mililani looks tough. 20 runs in one game is unreal at States. The teams in the semis all have solid pitching, so the winner just may be the team that commits the least errors. Great stuff!
BTW, besides Sarah Robinson, is there anyone else in the State tournament who will be playing softball for UH?
May 16th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Mojo - Please make room for me on the Manti bandwagon.
May 16th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
LizK,
See my comments #490 & 491 on the last blog about your Pensacola -Gainesville trip.
May 16th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
As they say, "the worst that could happen is he says 'no'".
MANTI, GET CHANCE?
May 16th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
Kids with definite NFL potential should stay at UH. Got plenty of time to explore the vast wasteland of the mainland - and more bucks to enjoy it. UH is a good school and you can't replace the experience of playing in front of Hawaii -- Colt knew that.
May 16th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Man it's hot out there!
I just passed a parade and it was raining on it.
Don't know who else will be playing for the Wahine softball team from the State tournament but even though she is only a Sophomore they better hurry up and offer Courtney Senas from Mililani.
May 16th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
Duster, always got room for you, my brother. You know that. We just gotta hope Mack and Cal can work their magic. I mean Manti can basically write his own ticket anywhere he wants. Let's hope he chooses to stay home in beautiful Hawaii.
By the way I believe that Manti was named after a city in Utah that has a famous LDS temple. His name is NOT pronounced "man-tee." I believe the correct pronunciation of his name is supposed to be "man-tie".
Again, if I have any of this wrong, please accept my apologies and do me the favor of correcting my ignorance.
May 16th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
yah, homey i was impressed with her too. comes from a long line of athletic siblings. she got decent size too.
May 16th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
yup. keep the faith, keep praying i say.
miracles do happen.
can you say falemalu and tachibana?
May 16th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
If a kid wants to go away and play elsewhere, more power to him or her. The main thing, like Bulla mentioned, is get the degree.
Also, there are many players from Hawaii that have Pro potential but UH cannot offer all of them schollies. They look what's out there and make their choices. Power to them too! Main thing, they get their degree and be a positive influence in the community. What more could anybody ask for?
May 16th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
Why Canti be Manti??
Shoots...chance 'um coach Mack...try axe!
May 16th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
WarriorMojo,
You are correct in that Shiloah wanted to be a Warrior but they only could offer a Grayshirt, so he went to BYU offered a full ride early on in the recruiting season.
FYI on the Te'o.
Malosi (Kahuku '06, UNLV RB - currently on a mission), Shiloah (Kahuku '08 Safety), and Manti (Punahou '09 LB), Levi ('09 Timpview High in Utah)
are all first cousins
Manti's mom is the sister of former Rainbow Warriors Louis, Lane, and Walter Santiago
Their second cousin is Kapena Drummer Eddie Te'o
May 16th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
al - Too bad UH couldn't get the girl Smith from Kapolei. I remember her playing against my son in Pony league and she was the Pitcher, 1st baseman, and 3rd batter. Lefty too!
May 16th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
Anyone keeping tabs on the Wahine on 1420AM?

May 16th, 2008 at 2:10 pm
WMojo:
I'm with you on your #55 post - Coaching staff will do their very best to secure commitments from as many Hawaii athletes it can now and in the future be they high or low profile.
There are many advantages and disadvantages to staying or going away to play. Nothing wrong in laying it all on the line so student and parents can understand - that's where Coach Mack is so different than JJ. Coach Mack is so "likeable( warm and friendly)" and "trusting" a person.
Every evening I watch the ABC national news with Charles Gibson and I tell Mrs A-House I really like him because he comes across as someone down to earth and you can really trust; just like Walter Cronkite(sp?) Anybody remember his series, "Your Were There"?
Wonder what Jdawg would say if Manti Te'o accepts a Warrior scholarship?
May 16th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
Nice that the MSU network is doing the game for us, but this guy is putting me to sleep.

http://hshawaii.scout.com/a.z?s=370&p=2&c=749416
BYU got Shiloah and Malosi
BTW, Manti the name of a Nephite soldier in the Book of Mormon. It is also the name of the 5th constructed temple in the LDS Church
May 16th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
BigWave - Did you do a thesis on the Te'o family?
May 16th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
Manti, go to USC. Play with Maualuga and Maiava. Don't waste your time at Hawaii. Follow in the tradition of Seau and Tatupu.

Mojo – I want Manti! I want Manti! Hey…gotta at least try. Otherwise we’ll be like the previous regime…”ah, no mo chance…no need call”. He’s a rare national level top caliber player to come out of these islands. Has there ever been another 5-star recruit produced out of Hawaii high schools?
I know the stars are just a prestige thing like Jason said, but it’d show that we’ve arrived at the party if we can start landing some big names away from the *name* schools. BTW, Paipai receiving offers from 3 Pac-10 schools means that he was more than a 2-star recruit. Had he chose Cal, he would have suddenly been a 3 or 4 star recruit…poof…just like that.

Te'o ain't staying in Hawai`i
Punahou + highly regarded player = mainland college.
Sure there are exceptions...but I'd say its a done deal....look at the amount of offers? That tells you that all those mainland colleges know the same thing. They can cherry pick almost every private school star athlete without much resistance from UH.
Until the Plantation mentality changes, it will always be the same. If UHM and the state actually spend money to bring the campus, teachers, and staff up to par for UH...not stay status quo, expect the brain drain as well as the athlete drain...

brew - Yep, I heard A-Joe actually journeyed deep into the Big Island rain forest to find a prize Koa Tree and then climbed up 50 ft. to get that perfect branch. And what is more unbelievable is that A-Sports went with him! Both of them know no bounds! They are truly an one-of-a-kind couple.

Not calling you out either...Faith. Heck, if I was Manti and could be a starting LB for USC for 3 - 4 years...well that's hard to turn down. I wouldn't bet the house on him becoming a Warrior, but we at least gotta let him know that he's still wanted here. Peace out...

FP - I suppose if you are watching a sporting event without knowing many of the nuances then you are watching it for the artistic athleticism of the participants. But then again I don't enjoy watching cricket.

Alright! Go Wahine!

May 16th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
warrior mojo and gang,
manti is a good athlete, do not get me wrong on insinuate anything; all i am saying is that it is going to be a tough battle to keep this kind of talent on the rock...plain and simple.
the W-L record this season is going to have a LOT to do with it, remember that.
i wish only the best to all the student athletes out there. any time you have earned the privilege of a scholarship, you have accomplished a dream shared by many not as fortunate as you.....remember that, and do the right thing.
May 16th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Man, what a great blog this is, but we all know that already. Amazing, always somebody on the scene, anywhere in the world for live reports. Great job, Reporter LizK. Tsaiko Nation salutes you.

Ted,
regarding earlier post, it is not that i do not have the faith...i do, more like wishful faith at times. depending how the Warriors do in wins/losses, will determine how they do with commits/non-commits. plain and simple
May 16th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
I can not believe you guys neva have faith it was automatic bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

lets nominate bulla an honorary monarch because he going be a purple people person in a few months.
May 16th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
eh gigi can represent us since you live near Radford. Vball Pahoa vs Hawaii Baptist 7:30pm
May 16th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
Bulla,
I hear you and understand where you're coming from. I just feel that there will be time enough for realism if we loose a few games, until then, I like to dream, like last year. Did we really think, at the beginning of the season, we would go undefeated and go to the SB?
I'm not sure where this feeling originates, but I have this strange and quiet confidence in this team. Overall we're definately more talented than last year, some positions even considerably better and this team has a chip on their collective shoulders, post Colt and dreadheads syndrome. Talent wise, our receivers are as good as last year, with time and meshing, maybe even better. The big question is QB and receiver synergy, but they have all summer and fall to get in sync. We have two stud QB's coming in, Tyler and Inoke really have to raise their game, if they want to hold on to their jobs. I wouldn't be very shocked if one of the JC QB's takes it.
Tyler and Inoke have the inside track, but Greg Alexander is a stud, watch out boys. Brent Rausch is just as good, but lucky for us, only a soph. If Greg wins the job, we can red shirt Brent, then have him back up and bulk up for one more year, then start for two. In the mean time, we have the luxury of going for HS QB's only.
Anyways, our cupboards are far from bare, actually we're well stocked. This year our defense might win a few games for us, just like last year, when our offense pulled out a few games from the fire.
May the chips fall where the may, I'm very confident.
May 16th, 2008 at 5:31 pm
koakane,
it would almost be an honor to wear purple; as i say every night when my 10 year old is visiting us....barney forever.....
i love you

I think Kazz is our new headline writer.
May 16th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
You guys aren't kidding about the purple. I was at Weber State for the NCAAs in 1994. It really did look like Barney's playhouse.
May 16th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
whoa liz tanks eh.
you was getting so carried away.
you got me rocking with this statement......
cute that one. sounded like russell shimooka.
okay, just playing around. but, thank you was entertaining.
May 16th, 2008 at 5:59 pm
What a humid day today. Should be a humid night at the ball park.
But you too will feel much more comfortable sporting one of the brand new Under Armour polo t-shirts featuring the University of Hawaii Athletic Logo!
(BAM! how's that for a cheap plug!!!)
May 16th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
eh kazz....you pretty good with the samoan language.

May 16th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
i wonder how many loads gigi had today?
May 16th, 2008 at 6:21 pm
al, the usual 7.
Not much to talk about tonight.
Somebody said the reason I get cold is that I lack iron. So guess what! We are going to dine on Filet Diane at Morton's next week. Getting a free gift card from hubby's boss.
I really love mushrooms on my steak!
May 16th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
Yes, thanks to Liz for excellent play-by-play.
I was trying to listen on my TV (digital has a 1420 channel) but it seemed like the MSU announcer had difficulty keeping up. But Liz's reports had the right amount of drama.
May 16th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
I don't think I am getting enough iron from my nutrisystem diet. So we have to supplement with dinners out, don't we?
May 16th, 2008 at 6:23 pm
The main thing is na wahine won. yay!

Kazz, glad to see you like the UA Polo shirt. How do you like the black color, I know even when you start to sweat in them they dry out pretty quick.
May 16th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
Ted,
I'm with you on that post #278! Believe!
May 16th, 2008 at 6:27 pm

Al - Would Superman ever get rid of his red bibidees? Gigi has her trade mark to up hold.
May 16th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Centrum contains zinc.
If Under Armour muus cost more than $60, I am not buying it.
Insane how much clothes cost these days.

We should also send our Aloha & Mahalos to Mei_Ling for actually attending the Wahine softball game in Tempe, cheering on our gals in person, and providing the text-messaging link to Liz!
May 16th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
yay to Mei Ling and to Liz! Way to go!
May 16th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
MAHALO to MeiLing- who braved the highways and freeways and rush hour traffic from the snow-covered heights of Flagstaff to the sweltering heat of Tempe to bring the most important news to us all:

May 16th, 2008 at 6:38 pm

May 16th, 2008 at 6:38 pm

sewaki shorts
and other favorites from the south pacific.....he'll be telling us more soon.
May 16th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
is it still humid outside? I am freezing with the a/c on and want to turn it off. Hubby is at costco right now. I'll wait til he gets home and he can decide.
May 16th, 2008 at 6:41 pm

wow. weally?
May 16th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
nose prop = thing that holds propellar in open position before contact
May 16th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
The "hogs" - the "hog/pig" nose piece, muu muu's and floppy hats..... just a recollection gigi!
May 16th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
brew has food on da brain!
May 16th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
nose prop = homey's half chopstick when he's 'diggin' for gold
May 16th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
gIgi, a fake nose
May 16th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
bulla - Did you check out that video link I posted?
May 16th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
yay for muumuus and floppy hats! but ditch the hog nose piece!
May 16th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
Yeah Al ~
How would we know it was Gigi without her muu muu? To upset the order of the universe is not Pono. Like fish outta water. Like a day without sunshine. Like...well, you get the picture.
May 16th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Can someone explain why UH Baseball is playing Utah Valley State - especially this late in the season?
May 16th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
the thing about muumuus is that you can dress it up or down according to the accessories you wear.
May 16th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
okay kekoa out of respect for you....i shall mmmmppfffft.
cya later.
May 16th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
I decided not to wear jogging shoes when I drive or putt on Sunday. Really don't need em. Will wear sandals instead.
May 16th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
How many muu muu's in a "load" of laundry?
Do you have to separate colors... or does it matter?
Do muu muu's ever have to be ironed, or even dry-cleaned?
Am I in trouble for asking these and other questions?
May 16th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
Brew-
about 6 per load
no need separate by color
never iron poly/cotton blends
no need dry clean
May 16th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
rivals.com has te'o ranked the #7th best high school senior in the nation
May 16th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
ironing is the most boring chore of all. That's why hubby wears poly/cotton aloha shirts.
May 16th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
I have been reading about Favre and Sorenstam retiring this year while still in their 30s. They say they are physically able to continue, but mentally they are very tired of the daily grind.
Well here I am, a writer who has no intention of ever retiring. As long as I don't have Alzheimer's, I'll continue to write and publish books and articles.
May 16th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
Hey Liz - Did Mei_Ling say whether she was planning to attend tomorrow's UH Wahine softball game? I recall he saying it was a 2hr drive - not counting traffic.
In regards to Te'o - doesn't matter "how many stars" a player is rated as having - especially if he is rated #7, or even top #100 high school seniors in the nation! UH has to at least show him, and other top notch local athletes, that they are welcome, wanted at UH! IMHO...
May 16th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
brew808- MeiLing is going to the Diamondbacks game and then heading back into the mountains. She will not be watching the game tomorrow.
Willie Grace again...

If you do decide to go across the street to the Radford gym to support the small town Pahoa powerhouse team tonite...check out the name on the
Memorial plaque, on the outside of the main doors to the gym. As Jim Nabors used to say, "Gaaawwwllee...Sur-prise, Sur-prise!"
May 16th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
yeah I read about Henin. How much you wanna bet that she makes a comeback later when she runs outta money?
Kekoa, what name? Mine? haha da only one that matters!
May 16th, 2008 at 7:09 pm
Hmmmmm...
Diamondbacks? Wahine Softball!!! Diamondbacks? Wahine Softball!!! Diamondbacks? Wahine Softball!!!

Kekoa . . .
Okay, I give up. My eye sight is poor and I cannot read the name on the plaque.
May 16th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
kekoa, Admiral Radford's name on the plaque?
May 16th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Brew:
Utah Valley State was supposed to be a "tune-up" for the Bows before the conference tournament.
re your #325 post - I agree that Hawaii must recruit all the best in Hawaii until the athlete signs that LOI - just seeing the Hawaii LOI on the table may make that difference.
Coach Mack and Cal Lee must make a huge effort to sign Te'o - don't back off just because USC, Notre Dame, etc. comes calling.
If Coach Nash can do it, so can Coach Mack!!!!
May 16th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
mu computer clock shows 7:08, but my post says 7:20pm - what the hey?????????

A-Sports . . .
In response to your note a bunch of days back. i do remember you at Chinn's. In fact, you are the one who took the photo of Mrs. Bulla and me. I hope everything is going well at the addunno house. Maybe this August?
May 16th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Hey ST,
has the exchange between you and al taken place yet. I would hate for some "hostess" to be staying at you know where!
May 16th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
A-Sports is a sweetheart ....
May 16th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Gigi ~
My grandson announced his retirement at age 12 from baseball after his final Little League All Star game. He is now 21 years old, and has never picked up his glove or bat since. (He even retired from football after a stellar HS career).
His reason for retirement from 2 prominent sports?...he felt that once he experienced the thrill of hitting that 1st home run, none of the others felt as good. Once he pitched a no-hitter, the next one felt like it was "routine." Once he made a sparkling, NFL league-like offensive or defensive play, the thrill was gone!
My wish?...he waited until he reached the Pros in either of those sports, then retire his grandparents in true luxury in appreciation for all their support! Hehehe...
May 16th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
no worry kekoa.
like the song.
"one in a million" maybe more, thats how many 12 year olds reach the major leagues.
at least he is happy.
May 16th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
Kekoa, well let's hope he doesn't feel that way about his WIFE -- if he's married...
Funny I don't feel that way about writing. Every story or chapter I write is different. Writing keeps my mind occupied and riveted, and I always feel happy with the creative process.
May 16th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
isn't there a rule even at the driving range regarding footwear?
besides, you need to practice in what you will play with. otherwise, you will have a rude experience when you finally feel confident enough to step on to the courses.
ah, but what do i know.
May 16th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
...and no, it's not his name on the Plaque...too long, no can fit, have to build bigger gym.
"Nakanielakimanaokekaulahanakeawe" I ran the name together to save space, might break the blog!
May 16th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
duffer,
he knows i have it.
barring a fire at my house i don't think i'll misplace those things.
besides, i am a golden nugget kind of guy.
May 16th, 2008 at 7:42 pm
Kekoa, what's his claim to fame???
May 16th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
good point, Al, so I'll wear the jogging shoes...
May 16th, 2008 at 7:45 pm
al,
golf attire is required at most courses, except the city/country ones.
Golden Nugget????? I thought you were a strip type of guy.....:-)
May 16th, 2008 at 7:47 pm
*shuffle- shuffle- shuffle-off-to-Buffalo, flap-ball-change ...* (yes, those are actual tap steps)

Aaaaand ...
*whoosh! goes that #^$#@ cane!* ...
Gone.
Really wish I could linger. I really hope you all have a great evening!
May 16th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
P.S. Kazz, thanks for the laffs with those Kate Robinson "headlines"!
May 16th, 2008 at 7:51 pm
A few tips on practicing. ALWAYS aim for something! Spend twice the time putting/chipping than hitting the driver. Practice with a purpose!
May 16th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Hey Esme,
Maybe you and Jenn would like to take me and al on in golfing?
May 16th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
Hi Gang,
Just peeking in before I head out. It seems my timing is a little better than last.
Wafan-
Was good talking to you at Chinn's. Hope we get to see you when you come in to town. We'll be gone in early August to the Bay Area, but will be back hopefully before you leave again.
On a side note (well this is the football part of it) I hope the football clinic for women doesn't clash with my trip. I believe August was mentioned. I'm crossing my fingers....
And Brew-
Right back atcha!
I'd stay and flirt but gotta head out. Gotta meet up with my Joe. And speaking of...about a month ago he gave me this really really big hug. I told him, "Wow! You act like you never see me in seven months. What was that for?" He said, "No reason". How's that for a great guy or what.
Anyway, I'll peep in a little later when I hit my destination.
May 16th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
duffer, nobody said anything when I drove and putted at the Navy-Marine course. I wore a muu, hat, and jogging shoes.
May 16th, 2008 at 7:57 pm
OK, sports, take care!
May 16th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
When you finally get to play on a course other than a city/county course. They are very strict on the dress codes.
May 16th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
duffer, what I gotta wear den?
and hubby, too?
May 16th, 2008 at 8:04 pm
Al - Yes you are correct. Most courses, and their adjoining driving ranges, require athletic footwear. My mom wore her novelty custom made "golf spike slippahs" when she was caught out on the course during a heavy rain. She would come slogging in to the clubhouse "looking" like she completed the course - and we were wimps for bailing out because of a little wet weather.
May 16th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
I guess I'll be playing on city courses only, then.
May 16th, 2008 at 8:14 pm

May 16th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
Howzit Tsaikos.
The NCAA knew enough to put 4 WAC teams in da dance, huh? 4-0 so far. Just super duper I tell yah!
Manti Te'o? He's got natural talent, for sure. He's got family in Utah; I can see the lure there. His psyche is probably vibing him to leave - at least thats the opinion of some who shared a little time with him at UH a couple of months ago - when UH had some of the locals come visit the campus, the coaches and the facilities.
But if you don't make the effort to let him know he would be a welcome member of the team, he'll never make his own decision to leave or stay - he'll get "pushed/vibed" into the decision. If he's that good, I'm sure that the other great players out of Hawaii, who have committed to UH, would want the team to offer him a chance to play with them and to attend UH. The bottom line: Coaches Mack and Cal, you gotta make the sincere effort, even if he says no.
btw, great practice today in Keaau.
May 16th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
bighilofan2:
I agree. Every kid in Hawaii grows up dreaming of playing for UH, not Tennessee, not even UCLA (SC maybe) You got to tap that dream and as you said make them feel they are welcome.
May 16th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
WAC wsball 4-0 congrats to dem especially our own wahines.
anybody got scoops on Pahoa and Hawaii Baptist vball game?
UH bball dong ok but as soon as they change to relief pitchers things fall apart. UV now closing on the UH lead. common UH stop da bleeding. yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa third out.
May 16th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
pahoa lost
May 16th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
Just tuned in to see if any drama was brewing tonight....so I ended up reading most of the posts. I forgot the wahine sb team was playing today (some UH fan I am) and I have to hand it to you, LizK, your play by play put me right on the stands in Arizona, at the edge of my seat even, while reading your posts. Forget Robert Demello or Kekaula your my pick for the color analyst.
When is the next game and who are they playing? Geev 'um Girls!!!
May 16th, 2008 at 9:32 pm
i know Keaau players doing plenty "homework" this weekend. I wonder if Warriors doing homework too? must be, huh? gotta step it up, guys! NO REST FO DA BEST!

i'm saving them in case i meet the next Mrs lv
May 16th, 2008 at 11:20 pm
Ugh, I wish I had noticed about Kapi‘olani Blvd being closed from Ke‘eaumoku to Kāheka. It took me 75 minutes on TheBus to get from King/Punchbowl past Ala Moana. I finally got to the baseball game three hours after I left the house, when I should have made it after 90 minutes. (That included a break for dinner.)
You'd figure that the HA would make that story PROMINENT in its breaking news, figuring how busy an intersection Kapi‘olani and Ke‘eaumoku is. All the eastbound traffic on Kapi‘olani had to be routed into Ala Moana; you think how much traffic feeds into there from Ke‘eaumoku already. It was absolutely awful, there was no contraflow lane set up, no police manning traffic lights, nothing.
Thanks again to chawan_cut for a ride home from the baseball game. I had enough bus riding for one day, so that was greatly appreciated. Someone send him something for his allergies, Benadryl or whatevers.
May 16th, 2008 at 11:20 pm
Fun in the sun! The UH softball game was terrific. I think there were 25-30 Hawaii people there. An ASU fan was sitting next to coach Coolen's son who hung a banner in the section above where I sat. She said she had a lot of fun hanging with the UH fans & the coach's son. Better have fun today before they might have to play UH (which they are.) I heard that there were 50 people on the UH list for passes. Lucky there were seats above our dugout. The ASU ticket people sold me a ticket above the wrong dugout. A Miss. St. mom said they had about 15 people there, mainly parents.
D-Backs won too; beat Detroit 4-5. Eric Byrnes is out of his slump with a homer! Fireworks after the game. Oakland's been doing that for years. Great draw for families.
Couldn't stay for the game tomorrow. Too much to do at home to get ready to move.
ST ~ I'm gonna email you pictures from the game. Don't know how well they turned out. Use 'em if you can. Pics of players are thru the netting. Pics of fans around me.
May 16th, 2008 at 11:20 pm

Mahalo for sacrificing your body to the traffic gods. Even tho it was for a noble cause, I'm still very appreciative of your best effort. You and Liz form another great L&L team, Ling & Liz. All we needed is Steven to appear for the supershot pose.

May 17th, 2008 at 12:33 am
hey, can i change. the fundoshi keep crawling up my ___ and it itches. even duct tape would be more comfortable. besides it don't come in pink.
May 17th, 2008 at 12:38 am
Al,
since fundoshi is cotton, we can dye any color you like.
May 17th, 2008 at 12:39 am
As for the itch, "preparation H" should do it good
May 17th, 2008 at 12:39 am

May 17th, 2008 at 12:40 am
and gigi would want one that is poly/cotton so hubby no need iron.
May 17th, 2008 at 12:40 am

May 17th, 2008 at 12:42 am

Agh! The mental pictures! Er, thanks a LOT, las vegas. Now I'll never get to sleep.
P.S. duffer, saw your note about golf but ... yikes, Jenn would have to carry the whole game for the girls' team because I suuuck.

:D: Good morning Tsaikos. We're on the way back from the land of Heun--Jake that is. In Vancouver now, where the internet connection is high speed. On the ship is was slower than satellite dial-up. We'll arrive back in Honolulu the evening and check in to see if there is any leftover Bday cake.--sjmacro & myki

Howzit wafan, las vegas!
May 17th, 2008 at 6:29 am
las vegas - What happened to the DB from LV that was/then was not offered a LOI from UH last fall? He was a safety too! Where did he end up signing? UH didn't get any of the players from LV huh?
There was a blogger last week claiming that UH was about to receive a huge donation ("SB" level) from some LV business-person? Any word on that? Was that going to be you las vegas? Mahalo!
May 17th, 2008 at 6:35 am
Thank you guys. If I don't return, that's cause my church kids killed me by making me hike to Makapu‘u Lighthouse. Can't a guy sleep in on his birthday?
May 17th, 2008 at 6:43 am
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON!!!!
May 17th, 2008 at 6:49 am
Howzit Brew, long time no smell
With Sanford as coach, LV kids are leaving as fast as they can, most to DII.
Seems like many good HS athletes are becoming gangbangers and killing each other.
Donation? Just wishful thinking from me or anyone else
May 17th, 2008 at 7:00 am

Some will take three or four math classes next year.
UH-Hilo should have been here this weekend to play SMU. Would have felt like home for them. Well, except no vog, thank goodness.
No a/c so I have to go "shopping" and browse to cool off.

Add A-Joe as a Monarch, too! He declared himself a Monarch yesterday. Does that make A-Sports a Monarch by marriage/association?
And, of course, we cannot forget GG. Who has proclaimed herself a Monarch through association since her Mom was Registrar at ye old stomping grounds.
May 17th, 2008 at 8:05 am
Good Morning Tsaikos and Tsaikettes!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON!
I'd sing you a birthday duet, but the Harmonizer is sleeping his best. He apparently got home when the birds started singing their best. (the IIRR IIRR IIIRRRRR etc is Joe-speak for crowing rooster)
Looking forward to your progressive birthday celebration tonight wherever that may be. I'm coming along to chaperone (not you, the tsaikos) to make sure they don't lead you into doing "a Homey".
May 17th, 2008 at 8:06 am

One of my precious memories was having my son buy me a drink at Preservation Hall in New Orleans during the 2005 Jazz Fest just before Katrina. He had turned 21 while away at school. Glad I was able to fly him out to Nawlins then; it may never be the same. Make memories!
Lanakila to Na Wahine today!
Have a great Saturday!!!
