All the Colt Brennan fans who were worried after yesterday’s critical report can exhale and stop worrying. Brennan looked much better today, with a couple of terrific passes to Fred Davis (one off his hands, the other a touchdown in the back of the endzone). I’ll be honest: I hope to see Brennan play well tomorrow and then not take another snap until next August, but that shouldn’t be taken as a referendum on him as a player. Nice to see him back in form.

From the Warriors news:
Coach Mack says da QB situation is still open- no decision at this time.

Another BEAUTIFUL DAY on the WarriorBoat!

So wat is up wit da wax/wane comment box?
Is it homey?
Hi midori7!
Hope you find this page of comments.
Tell Mom tanks for da pic :-)
Happy shopping!
Tell Dad, "Good Luck!"
and say, "Hey!" to Masa Boy.
d1shima: Shoot, I thought I had it. I checked the math, and I forgot a negative sign somewhere. My apologies.
hey midori - how was your choclate chip pancakes for lunch Monday?
Hi Midori7 - no spend to much in vegas shopping your going to need some of it in Fla.
Hi d1!
resting a bit, then we'll head over to Downtown. Guess I won't be playing Wheel of Fortune at the Cal! =)
pau shopping unless I can convince A-House to drop me off at Premium Outlet. Hmmm . . . gambling or shopping? Decisions, decisions.
Wonder how the team & ST are doing. Keeping hydrated, I hope!
No lose too much too.
midori - no sense play wheel of fortune at the Cal, no mo money!!
Midori7
Play the MAX bets on the slot machines!
midori7,
Who said lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place?
But if not, still get da quarter machines, right?
Hi guys!
Stretch: haven't had choc chip pancakes since baseball season.
HiFlyer: hope shopping in Florida is good too!
duffer: MAX bets, definitely!
d1: whoa, it was $1 Wheel of Fortune! too expensive for me. I'll stick w/penny, nickel & quarter machines.
Hi Midori7!
Wow! Still that hot! Come back a millionaire! Then remember that I am your friend...j/k.
Have fun and cheer loudly.
Play the Elvis machines...or did they hit. They were overdue to hit when I was there in July.
Hi Rob14!
No worry about me cheering loudly, it's the only way I know how!
Before I forget...
MeiLing:
AWESOME autographed Arizona Cardinals visor! Has 11 signatures plus a "map" on who signed where w/the players' #, name, position, draft year & college!
It's an honor to be the delivery person for such a wonderful prize! Thank you for your generous donation! Another example of why Tsaikos ROCK!
midori7,
Read the rules carefully. Some of those penny machines actually cost more to play Max Bet than the dollar WOF.
All good fun anyway.
Tell A-house try go "Wrong" side; sometimes works for me. ;-)
Sheesh... OK, I admit I was at the oddah place reading a 77-line, almost 600 word story about the quarterback situation. If one were to summarize it all in one sentence, try Liz's summary above:
"Coach Mack says da QB situation is still open- no decision at this time."
Full Speed ahead Cap'n...we got a game to get to!
d1....is jase behaving?
jus give em one whack on the side of the head.
Steamer Pot, Crock Pot, Roasting Pan,
we think your team still NO CAN!
14 on da left - 14 on da right
we goin' WOP yo jaws and fight, fight, fight!
[Dis cheer was found inside da Hilo DA's office, so I no need axe whose wun was].
Gooooo WARRIORS!
stevem and d1...careful...you both could get smu's on monday. i would hate to be the one to snitch.
Unless there's a reward for snitching ... ;-)
Okay, enough chatting. I'm off to a meeting below deck.
Hopefully the great equilizer "rain" doesn't affect the game.
Warrior Beat back on?
when?
midori, $5 on 17 black! winnaz!
AL,
homey made me do it!
Dat's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Tombo Ahi is good for frying eh?
Play pokeno.
Lucky for d1, ST has no SMU powers on the lifeboat. The capt has to stay put on the big ship until the engine starts up again on Monday. I believe the unsinkable Gigi is somewhere re-arranging the deck chairs.
Hey Al -- can I plead desperation? I really miss ST's blog reports during the road games...
BTW, Long Time UH Fan was only able to get enough steaks and grog to last us through Friday night before your credit cards maxed out. You are also promoted to "Executive Chef" since fine dining is opening...
gigi lookin good in those muumuus.
Shake and Bake and I helped!
bow chika yow yow.
(quickly folding contraband periodical and placing under seat)
Huh?
SMU'd? Me?
No, it was SteveM.
It's homey's fault!
Take Long Time UH Fan!
Not me!
(uncontrolled sobbing and unWarrior-like moaning)
Didn't get a chance to read yesterday's blog. I hope Keahi mentioned some good news. Although from the looks of it, some have already figured it out.
ST gonna be on da animals at 4pm approx.
...this is your Cruise Director....
Please remain calm.
There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that someone put bubble bath in Hot Tub #3 because there is no soap for the cabin soap dispensers.
If you need soap, please call Housekeeping or Hotel Operations Manager office at x0258, Ask for Herman.
Fell asleep...
Jason forgot to post the Yahoo username and password for the football pick'em
d1shima - you are on your own. If I tell you to jump in a fire you going jump in the fire?
Who's rockin' the boat....???? I think DPK is getting sea sick....ewwwwwwwww...watch out.
SteveM,
I called Herman but I keep getting his voicemail. Says to try again on Monday.
So I'd like to know where, you got the notion
Said I'd like to know where, you got the notion
To rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby
Rock the boat, don't tip the boat over
Rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby
Rock the boat...
YEEEE-OOOOOOWWWWW!
SteveM,
Herman told me that "at the end of the day" there will be something in the dispensers.
I told him I don't have a dispenser!
He was non-responsive.
d1..what happened? Did Tita Leadfoot step on your toes or did DPK take a bite out of you???? MWAHAHAHHAHA
(J)J,
I jumped in a fire.
Pass the aloe please.
d1...I called Herman as well. I just got a dial tone....
UPDATE:
Got a call from Carl.
He said that I DO actually have a soap dispenser so now I should feel better and stop telling lies about the boat.
I called Herman, sounded like Erkel.
Warrior practice must be over by now.
Hey guys -- if I look land sick, just float me in the pool. Natural environment. Same with DPK... :-)
You all are in-tense!!!! No day is complete without reading from the WB... Midori7, my friend told me once that shopping is a better way to spend money... yeah you goin lose money, but fo shua you goin get something in return you know what I mean? Try bring back salt and pepper cashews from Trader Joes... dat buggah is winnahs!
Homey...there was practice today? I went this morning but the field was empty...except for sj-macro who was snapping pictures....MWAHAHAHAHA
homey..."Did I do that??"
Interesting that our lifeboat seems to have attracted so many posters with multiple personalities. I would have said "multiple personality disorders" but I wanted to be nice.
Anyway, sitting here in Baltimore, but very happy because I got pretty good tickets for the Big Colt Show tomorrow night!
After watching Colt light up the Jags, then it will be hustle back to the hotel to get ready for an early flight to Jacksonville on Friday. Should be in Gainesville by 3:00 or so. Will try to swing by the walk-through if possible.
By the way there was a very nice front Sports Page article with a big color picture of Kenny Niumatololo. Another Son of Hawaii doing well.
Oh, and there was a big (half-page) article on Fresno State in USA Today. I respect that team and all, but I'm getting pretty tired of how everyone is anointing them WAC champs already.
Looks like Percy Harvin and Brandon Spikes are out for Saturday.
Coach Meyer was asked about their status after practice on Wednesday.
"At this point, I don't think he's going to play," Florida coach Urban Meyer said Wednesday of Harvin.
Meyer gave the same answer about Spikes.
Gotta catch up with 25 hours of football on the Deuce.

TOUGH AS NAILS -
Takeo Spikes is still tackling the 49ers' defense
...If the season began today, Jeff Ulbrich would start at weak-side inside linebacker, coach Mike Nolan said Tuesday. Spikes is still learning the terminology, but it's clear the club brought in the 6-foot-2, 242-pounder envisioning him in an inside tandem with Patrick Willis at some point...
LizK . . .
WoW!!! You sure are talented!!! What kindof tape you use to tape those frogs in the pond?
Do they have 'gator strength tape for this Saturday?
Time for bed -- another all day meeting tomorrow morning beginning at 7:30. Last one of the week, though! Yahoo!
Niners WRs Johnson, Lelie ready to return
...At least O'Sullivan will be joined in his brief work by receivers Bryant Johnson and Ashley Lelie, who will make their preseason debuts at Candlestick Park...
"Obviously (Lelie has) been out of practice every day, so this is a good start. We're starting to get something going there, so it's going to be exciting to see him play."
Lelie is on the bubble for a roster spot with the 49ers,...
Lelie returned to practice Monday after missing most of training camp with a torn calf muscle. The 49ers' best deep threat is pretty much useless if he can't run at full speed, so the veteran receiver probably must play well against San

Diego's defense to guarantee a roster spot...
Hi, Liz,
Gld you've made it safely. Enjoy your family.
You can watch the University of Montana-Western and Weber State game on the internet tommorrow night on bigskytv.com for a small fee.There are a dozen Island boys playing for Western and the Beast will debut for WSU.
Brew808-
Mahalo for the Niner updates.
Your cargo leaves for the valley Isle tomorrow.
a-joe - Funny, I was thinking of you looking at my 49er posts. There's SO MUCH Orange - I thought about your favorite baseball team! Hey the won 4-1 vs. the Rockies. They've been playing better ever since you and "twinkle-toes" froze your 'okoles at ATT-Park!
BTW - Thank you and Al for playing UPS! :-)
Whew...what a long swim to the life boat. Got room for another deckhand?
I really need to get up to speed with everything. All I know is that the game will be on ESPN Gameplan here in L.A. at 9:30 a.m. So, it occurred to me that I paid $109 for two UH games on the Gameplan. Florida & Weber St. Hopefully, more will be added...lol.
a-joe - How's the "marble-queen"? I picture her as the "Mad Scientist" in her back-yard lab! Can she put a green H into one of her baubles? Might be cool. Or.... how about a T, or numbers?
Oregon State vs Stanford at 6:00 PST on ESPN2 Tommorrow!
Rich - What's the deal w/ the AI panel of judges? Is this a move in case Paula goes nutzoid? Is the new person a client of yours? I suppose the show if as much about finding new talent, as it is about the judges - interacting with the contestants and themselves...
Did you get Ed's email about SpringHill Suites in Raisin-land?
Re: DirecTV - you can also watch non-UH games.... And I think Garret mentioned USU was also on Gameplan. How's Margo?
Hey Brew - News to me about the AI judges. I'm the last to know anything.....
Yes, got the email. I'm not sure where we're staying, but probably the Ramada University, where we've stayed the past two times up there.
I know there are a ton of WAC games on Gameplan, so it'll be worth it.
Margo is doing great. She'll be glad to see you guys in Fresno.
Rich - Let's suppose someone wanted to go to a "place of chance" in Rincon, CA. Would they be better off flying into/out of SD or Orange? And where is this "place" you and ST visit while in Raisin-land?
Evening Tsai-kos!
Uhhhh, I missed ST on the Animals. What did he talk about?
What fun at work today. grrrr. Had to go into crisis mode (as usual) because some other dept's mistake somehow became our problem to solve. As if we don't have enough regular stuff to do. sheeeesh
But, what can you do? Just anxiously waiting for Sat verrrry early morning to get here!!!
BTW - if anyone is interested, and for entertainment purposes only....
Halftime line is 22, and O/U is down to 70. 4Q number is down to 34.5-35, from a peak of 36-36.5. If these stats don't mean anything to you, then you're not missing anything. :-)
Brew - probably SD, but Garret would know better. It's an hour for me to get to Orange. It takes me 2 hours to get there from here via auto. I doubt it's an hour from SD to Rincon.
Table Mountain....I'll let you know when exactly we're going.
Rich - Table Mt. - I'll look it up. I plan to go with a group of friends. We'll probably carpool - 2.5 hours each way. Get there early (hopefully hook-up w/ you, Ronnie, Rob, Ed), see the guys muzzle the Bulldawgs, then head back to the barn. Niners vs. Pats on Sunday.
My prediction/wish. UH Warrior's "D" scores 3 TD's (strips Tebow, interceptions, fumble recoveries), UH Warrior's Special Teams returns 1 kick off and 1 punt return for TD's, we kick 2 Field Goals, UH's 3rd Team QB, Inoke Funaki runs for 2 short yardage TD's and throws a shovel pass to Libre for 1 TD as Florida's self proclaimed World's Fastest Football Team overruns every play, while getting beat up by the World's Toughest Polynesian O-line. The UH Warriors win by 3-6 points and becomes America's upset Kings for 2008 and are immediately re-ranked as #12 in the Nation. Mayor Hannemann invites the heralded UH Warriors to Monday's Parade of Champions to march behind the Waipio Little League World Champs, and our Hawaii Olympians. Rich and DPK re-write their latest screenplay by adding this new storyline to their forthcoming Oscar nominated full length production. Kekoa, James, D1,& A-House toast the Warriors at Duke's with Longboards and Sam Adams before their designated driver, Homey, courteously delivers them all home safe.
betta than the doghouse...
Barry,
I can see it all except the DD homey part.
homey as the DD?!!? Can you one drive from the flatbed of a truck? :-D
Oh oh.... I'm beginning to tink like da? Yikes! :-)
Howzit Tsaikos.
Ching cooke Field Fix update.
reliable source tells me dat da Ching big shot tellin da biddah to hold up, wait till all da ducks in order. 10-4.
meanwhile, some background on dis Denny Sadowski. I tink he's a paper contractor, hires peeps from the mainland to do the actual work, he just got a C68FF license. In most of the other States, using the same product, you only need da kind license Hamocon get, one C27 contractor license.
But the Contractor's Board, under paperwork submitted by Sadowski, they trying to get da C68FF specialty license as a requirement. But they never ask all the contractors for their opinion, let alone never ask the general public for their opinion. In other words, their recommendation never get through the Chapter 91 stuff at all. So its just a advisory. But even Hamocon wen ask dem to grandfather him in, and guess what doze guys said? no can no can.
but dats not da bad stuff. actually, all these past 6 years, Hamocon wen ask da Board if he needed to change his license to a specialty, and they told him no need, and last year in writing (August) they told another C27 license guy (general) no need. But last September Hamocon won the Murakami field fis, with the same license and the sane exact name as RMY wen put on da Ching Cooke Field Fix, and no problems he got the job. And Sadowski with KaiKor got the job at Roosevelt and the very next day Sadowski wen tell the board they need to tighten up da regs for these field fixes and they asked him to write the regs and he did and he never vote on the regs but his friends did and now they feel (imo) a vested interest in sticking to their position, and thats where we are with the future.
In the meantime, as to the bid by RMY, its exactly the same names as used in Murakami field fix. In fact, Sports Turf Hawaii is
Logan Hamocon's dba.
So really, i don't understand whats the holdup for the UH Procurement guy. Its in the UH Procurement Vice Chancellor's ballpark now.
And worse of worse yet, ask the peeps at Roosevelt if their field is perfect....
And guess who KiaKor is listing as their subcontractor in a number of bids coming up? You got it, Sports Turf Hawaii.
I know you don't want to here this Sadowski, but you are a poor sport, imho.
but you can correct me if any of the above information is wrong. please.....
...like d1....
brew,
Can you see it comin'
heheheh
Hi brew.
Hi Rich.
Pretty quiet around here tonight.
Liz in FL.
bulla in UT
me in CF.
:-)
D1 & Brew, would you suggest that Rich and DPK include Homey in their storyline and the UH Warriors drive the other bruddahs home?
So, Guava, if you are out there -- Dallas maybe? -- I hope this article puts an end once and for all the talk about how Colt held the ball too long and didn't follow the gameplan. Apparently, the problem is that Georgia's gameplan was specifically designed to stop us from "doing what we do." Is it Colt's fault we never adjusted? I know this is ancient history, but it still angers me how certain people tried to make Colt the scapegoat.
"Martinez said his squad knew entering the game that Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan liked to release the ball quickly, roughly 2.8 seconds after the snap. There was little chance of the Bulldogs getting to Brennan on a normal blitz if the quarterback was able to get off his pass in less than three seconds. The defensive line needed just a little more time.
"We wanted to see if we could get enough pressure with our [defensive line] and get enough coverage behind it," Martinez said. "We wanted to try to take away [Brennan's] first read and get him to hesitate for a half-second to a second."
brew,
Actually homey no mo flatbed. Regular kine, wit 4 x 8 in side (wheel wells cut out, I tink was)
But mean kine view of da stars! Ask homey, he know (but mebbe no can remembah)
Hi Barry.
Guess what gangee? I'm dying da tipz ah deze silvers. Green. If I can Pride, you can too.
Bulla,
I hope da snowflake has a great game this week.
I'm thinking that Keahi is trying for signal dat Inoke is gonna start. Watcha think????
I'm just worried about his floaters out to the flats.
Go Warriors!!!!
Barry - homey could be in charge of his own "short films"! Haha! :-)
So it was John Homey, not John Holmes in the 70's?
So my daughter asks me to take her to Supercuts to get a trim. As she's cutting her hair, I get into a seat across the room from her, where she can see me in the mirror. I ask the young man there if I can get a haircut too. After about two minute of looking at me like I were nuts, he proceeds to cut everything off.
The look on my 18 year old daughter's face was classic. She's getting her hair cut and trying to keep her composure as her jaw drops and her eyes open wide, and she mouths, "what are you doing?" I just shrug and ignore her.
One hour later when I go to pick up my older daughter from work, my grandson takes one look at me and starts screaming bloody murder. He was inconsolable even when my daughter tried to explain to him that it was grandpa, just without hair, but still grandpa. It took him half-an-hour to warm up to me.
My daughter, who teaches at a pre-school said that usually I scare the kids simply because they've never seen anyone so big. She said now I'm even more scary with no hair on my head.
I don't know, I thought everybody loved Shrek?
Mojo,
Interesting stuff.
I wonder if the counter woulda been Farmer running at those LB's?
jm2375 - There's lots to watch on the tube even before big Saturday!
On Thursday, there's Colt vs. Jags, OSU at Stanford, NCState vs. S. Carolina, Wake @ Baylor, Obama....
On Friday, there's SMU @ Rice....
Then on Sat, there's a bunch of games other than the one in the Swamp....
I'm sure the rest of your week will fly by quickly! :-)
Pride.,
My hat's off to you!
(I have little else to take off after that anyway.)
Oh, ALSO - there's Wahine V-ball!!! :-D
D1.
My daughters need to know that their dad is a man of his word.
A commitment was made to the Tsai-kos, and i needed to follow through.
Besides it's much cooler tonight for some reason.
Wow Pride! You really did it! Again, you are a Man of your word!
BTW - We already have a Shrek. You must be Shrek's "Big Brother"! Even he had a hero to look up to! :-)
We need pictures!
Good luck to the Beast in his first college game.
Have a blast.
Pride.,
So since you're here anyway....
Any thoughts on the QB situation, off the top of your head? (Sorry, it was too obvious)
Good evening to all!
James..sent you an email...can I go?! (smiley face)

brew - yeah baby, wahine vball!!! I'll be glued to the tube Fri nite.

D1. I actually don't think that a starter will assert himself for awhile. Like I said earlier, it will probably be about the fourth or fifth game before one of them rises to the top.
People forget that experience at the D1 level is very important. It's not as easy to just step right in and perform at a high level as people and fans think it is.
The quarterback will need time to settle in and play the game at this level before we can actually get a thorough chance to evaluate them.
In my opinion it dosen't matter who starts because we will probably see all of them in the next few weeks.
Howzit JaM.
Roster battles for Miami. Not only did Bess win the battle for a roster spot, but Miami knows they can't try to put him on the practice squad so they will keep him on the active roster.
Receiver Greg Camarillo or Davone Bess - This battle really isn't Bess versus Camarillo. Bess, an undrafted rookie free agent, has proven he's talented enough to be on an NFL roster. The Dolphins likely can't afford to cut the Hawaii standout with the hopes of stashing him on the practice squad. That means Camarillo could be the veteran receiver on the outs if a few talented receivers becomes available on the waiver wire. Camarillo outlasted David Kircus because he's a better special teams contributor, so maybe he'll continue to hang onto that final receiver spot. I project the Dolphins will carry five receivers on the 53-man roster and two on the practice squad.
More bad news on Reagan.
Fullback Boomer Grigsby or Reagan Mauia - I believe Boomer has locked up the roster spot because of Mauia's suspect hands, and marginal blocking during the exhibition season. However, I'm told the Trifecta is presently looking for an upgrade at fullback, and are fond of former Cowboys fullback Ronnie Cruz, who just got released after receiving an injury settlement. Cruz is dealing with a shoulder injury, but he's played 19 games with the Chiefs in 2005 and 2006 and might be stashed on the PUP till he's healthy enough to compete with Grigsby.
Broken News!...Neighbor lady sez Kunia Wally World almost sold out of both da Green & da Black UH Tents. She bought hers while others were waiting to see what had leff...
Pride,
I wish I could see your new look! Big bolo-head guys really could be intimidating to kids! But they know how you are an intelligent, nice guy so hopefully they get over it soon.
Brew808,
I think that either airport would be fine for you. Part of it would depend on what time of day, as the traffic patterns differ between Orange County and SD.
Word is that the Manoa Bookstore has the new jerseys in stock... Called Ward store tonight and they still waiting from the vendor... Who knows when they'll get em, hopefully in time for Weber State...
brew,
No excuse.
I just like my 10% Kona brew...and that I get to sleep in a little later than has been usual lately.
Thanks Pride..

Free play link time. Please ignore my next 5 posts if you do not want the off-topic stuff. This first one kind of reminds me of the Cooke Field bid process, but in this case the high bidder won because the low bidder messed up previous contracts.
Lockheed’s Navy patrol plane bid was $5.2 BILLION *less* than Northrop’s bid…but Lockheed LOST anyway due to past problems with Lockheed’s subcontractor, General Atomics. Wow, when your competitor bids $5.2 billion more than you and still wins, it shows that your customer was not happy with your performance!
Lockheed appealed to the GAO, pointing out that they were the low bidder. But Lockheed's team has done such a bad job on contracts that the GAO denied their appeal, basically saying that they were so bad that it was okay to give Northrop an extra $5.2 bil.
It is pretty cool that Wii Sports and Guitar Hero are giving big boosts to the rehab of injured vets. Doctors at Walter Reed Hospital have found that the Wii distracts patients from their fears and their body’s resistance to movement by getting the patient to focus on the game.
Speaking of which....

brew808,
One bonus of flying into San Diego is that Faith and Mika would love to see "Uncle brew" again! Mika loved using the smiley face stickers on the postcards that Faith wrote to the grandparents last week...
Hi Garret..
How's the family?
jason,
thanks for yesterday's thanks, i think.
midori7,
when you going leave vegas and come here to florida? wheel of fortune was already emptied out by that local girl. and its too dry there. you need to sweat like me here.
koakane,
it is frickin hot here. we walked around epcot all day today. man, good thing i had my UA shirt on. but still, when the sun is out, its bad. there's no wind here. hopefully saturday we got some cloud cover to help out.
ok, time to pass out.
Garret:
Will the new development of The Bus situation affect your parents transportation to the games?
Hi Chawancut...
hi jam,
i think i met you and your daughter at the wahine clinic.
anyways, sleep time.
got more disney'ng to do today when i wake up.
Hi JaM! I hope that Brie and everyone else in your family are doing well!
My family is doing well. Faith loves Kindergarten and Mika loves preschool, which makes things a lot easier for Lori and me. Work is fine for me, though I have 2 deadlines this week that are a lot of work but boring work...good thing I have football on Saturday to look forward to.
I'm guessing that my parents will take the more expensive bus option for games this season. Dad teaches an adult education class on Saturdays so they cannot get to the stadium early enough to park or tailgate.
Hey C_C!
Didja get t-storms today? What are your plans for tomorrow? More DW? If you're looking for some relief, try one of the water parks - Blizzard Beach & Typhoon Lagoon in Disney or Wet n Wild near Universal. Of course, there's always the air-conditioned outlet malls. hehehe.
Article about Kevin Craft's recruitment is definitely relevant to UH.
Rick Neuheisel's suitcase was still packed, and the hotel room he called home for far too long still had a new feeling, when one of his former players called to recommend a junior college quarterback.
Neuheisel, who had just been named UCLA's new coach, said no thanks when Mike Moschetti offered a suggestion.
That quarterback? Kevin Craft.
Yes, that Kevin Craft. The Kevin Craft who will open the Neuheisel era under center Monday, on national television, when No. 18 Tennessee visits the Rose Bowl.
"I didn't think I needed him," Neuheisel said. "Then I started thinking, 'Well, do I?' Once I started thinking, 'Do I,' then I wanted to know more. And then I came to the conclusion, 'Yeah, I do.'"
His first scholarship offer came from Hawaii. When Warriors coach June Jones left for SMU after the Sugar Bowl, another scholarship offer came - from SMU.
"I certainly think he's the kind of talent that deserves to be heavily recruited," Neuheisel said of Craft. "I think he's got, certainly, a strong enough arm. I think he's got a quick arm. I think his accuracy will get better as he learns to use his feet."
Craft said he received plenty of interest from schools, including Arizona State and North Carolina, but junior college quarterbacks typically do not elicit many scholarship offers. The feeling is that quarterbacks take time to develop, and most schools take at least one quarterback per recruiting class, so taking a junior college transfer can often signal a program is giving up on a quarterback already in the program.
speaking of water parks... :-)
chawan_cut,
If it is too hot or it thunderstorms, remember that DisneyQuest (located at one end of Downtown Disney) is indoors! It has rides and games and is a nice indoor, air-conditioned alternative when the weather is awful.
I've been to Orlando in both July and August and can understand what you are going through now!
Good night...long day tomorrow for work.
DisneyQuest is keeeeewl. There's a whole full of the old 80s video games - Qbert, PacMan, BattleZone, Asteroids, etc. Da place has 5 floors!!
ooops. whole *room* full
LizK hope you're having a great time with your family...
Gah, where is Stephen to take pictures of Pride. when we need him?

Hi DPK! Tink C_C wen moe moe. Weather in FL in Aug is hot & humid. At times it can get to 95 degress with 95% humidity. I've been to the water parks and as soon as you're out of the water, you're dry! Not much wind either. Lucky we live Hawaii.
Aloha, Tsaikos!!
ESPN has posted its preview for the Hawaii-Florida game which includes a regularly updated weather forecast. Click on my name to go to the site.
Go Warriors!!
I've been having fun with the blog "lifeboat" methaphor. A Tsaiko-sized lifeboat would be a small (by today's standards) cruise ship. My Warriorboat descriptions have been fictitious, based on the general cruise ship designs I have seen.
Tonight I was curious so checked numerous real cruise ships for one that would fall into the small 600' length of the general layout I have been describing. Almost all were too large -- 6-12 times larger in capacity/size!
But I did find one-- 41 years old and "only" 534 feet in length. But hey, we're supposed to be roughing it in the blog lifeboat, right? :-)
Click here to see a photo of the ship, deck layout, amenities, specs,. etc. In real life, she sails the Mediterranean and Africa.
Of course, you can compare it to the medium-large size Pride of America (over 3 football fields long and 5 times the volume of the "lifeboat") that is the only local cruise ship running weekly between the islands.
Hiya!
