From Jeremy Fowler's blog (Orlando Sentinel)

http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports_college_uf/2008/08/updates-from-tu.html#more

USUAL SUSPECTS: WR Percy Harvin (right heel) participated in 7-on-7 drills and "looked pretty good," according to Meyer, who still doesn' t know if he'll play Saturday. In April, Harvin had North Carolina doctors remove part of the bone from the heel to stall an abnormal growth that was causing tendonitis. LB Brandon Spikes (right toe, foot) is still a game-time decision. LB Ryan Stamper said he doesn't know if Spikes will be out a couple of weeks, "but it seems like it’s a pretty serious injury. Coaches probably don’t want to stress it or anything."

Good evening Tsai-kos...this is your Warriorboat Cruise Director! I have some bad news... the pool deck will be darker than usual tonight because some larger Tsai-kos used the light string cable between the aft stack and forward suntan deck as a ZIP LINE ride. Broke. Also, a large impromptu group started their own PUB CRAWL this afternoon and liquid spirits are constrained until we reach port tomorrow for the airplane people.

But DPK will be leading karaoke in the Buffet at 2000 while I'm in sickbay seeing the tsaikomotrist. WreckinEyez and da Band are scheduled for the concert in the theatre on deck 4 forward at 2130.

Too bad Rausch still has a sore arm. Three days of rest didn't seem enough. I would think he needs a couple weeks. Looks like Alexander may have a good chance to start.

Keahi ~ They say that empty trash cans make the most noise. Yours was Dumpster sized today. You had us hornswaggled for most of the day for an uneventful finish.

We can't wait for an encore...Zzzz

jase0517 said...

Stretch: Considering how Rausch threw last week when he was hurt, I'd go with Alexander. I thought he was better, pure and simple. I'm a big Rausch fan, and I still think he'll be the starter at some point, but he needs to show that he's the best option for the team. If he shows he's healthy enough to beat out Alexander again, then that's good for him and good for the team.

Koauka: I know there are a lot of folks that are supportive of Funaki, but you gotta go with the guy who gives you the best shot at winning. IMO, Funaki is the clear #3.

Good evening fellow lifeboaters!

Just got done catching up wit you Tsai-kos after having anniversary dinner at D.K. Steak House. Pricey, but not overpriced and ONO!!! Hubby had the ribeye, I had the Sansei filet mignon. The filet was to die for and the ribeye was tender! Also had Caesar salad (good not great), mashed potatoes (very good), veggies and a gigantic mud pie for dessert.

So, no one had a gator dog for lunch today?

I think I'll skip da karaoke tonight. Gunfunnit, was looking forward to riding da zipline tomorrow.

As the Warriors head out to Gator land…

Excerpts from Midweek
“There’s No Slackin’ with Coach McMackin
Written by Steve Murray

Another change from the past season is that the head coach will no longer be calling the offensive plays. That big responsibility now falls in the hands of coordinator Ron Lee. Coach Mac will handle the defense with Cal Lee coaching up the squad during the game and making adjustments.
“Ron Lee has total control of the offense,” says Mac. “I will not tell him what to run. I’m going to give them parameters. I want a package for playing under the center and in the shotgun for the first two games.”

Limiting turnovers also will be a major focus. “Last season we averaged four turnovers per game. I want to limit those. It’s going to take time to get our timing down. We’re going to have to play team football and not just try to outscore them.”

jase0517 said...

Well, I better get to bed. Good night, everyone.

homey ⑤ said...

al - Nope, the way I saw it was He works in mysterious ways.

Anonymous said...

Coach Mac promises that physical conditioning will improve. “We are going to be in shape. There will be no hands on knees. That’s more for mental toughness. We don’t want to show any weakness.”

As for Saturday’s season opener at Florida, Mac’s not promising anything but a tough game. “We’re going to blitz the heck out of them and go after their running game. If (Heisman Trophy winning QB Tim) Tebow is play-action passing, we are going to go after them. What have we got to lose? If we go down and pull an Appalachian State (who defeated No.5 Michigan),
It would be the greatest thing to ever happen. They are a good football team and I respect them, and it’s going to be a big challenge, but we are going to be aggressive against them. We are not going to sit around and play it safe to keep the score down and run 30 times and that type of thing. We’re going to go with our basic offense.

GO WARRIORS!
GAFF DA GATORS!

Jason:

The coaches wish they had twenty Funaki's.
Does everything right, go to class, practices everyday, and even helps the new QB learns the offense. He is a TEAM player.

The coaches should give him his opportunity now and see how far he can run the offense.

I'll bet you the value of your scholarship that he would have the backing of the entire team. Until I see the top three QB's play during live bullets, the starting QB will rise from the three.

Who it is, we shall see.

See Jason, you might not be the best talent, but if you do everything the coaches tell you
(going to class, practicng, meetings, etc) you have earned your place as a starter.

Kifi said...

We need to be patient with the offense this season. Remember that offensively, this season will be just like the start of 2005. In 2005 we had Jack Rolovich, Tyler Graunke , and Colt Brennan all competing for the starting nod at QB. It took awhile for Colt to settle down and come out on top. All of us as fans want to know who the starter is going to be, but it really doesn't matter. The evaluation for starters doesn't end when camp ends. You need to get all of these guys into a real division 1 game.

All of these players competing for starting jobs will find out that they're not playng JC ball or high school anymore. It'll take a few games to find out who rises to the top.

All the coaches need to do is put guys into the game and some guys will play themselves up and others will play themselves down. We just need to wait and see how it plays itself out.

1. We've got to win the turnover battle.
2. We've got to win 2 out of the 3 phases of the game.
3, We've got to play great sudden change football.
4. We've got to score everytime you get in the red zone.

Kifi said...

4. We've got to score everytime WE get in the red zone.

Kifi said...

1. Offense can't turn the ball over. Defense needs to get interceptions, cause fumbles, and recover fumbles.

SteveM said...

Prideperiod -- we CAN beat Florida. As for the how, I'll trust that to the coaches and players.

Kifi said...

2. Offense may struggle early on. We need to be patient. We need to win the defensive battle. We NEED to win the special teams battle. Don't allow big returns. Can't have any kicks blocked. Defensively, we need to block kicks and get some good returns on kickoffs and punts. We need to win 2 out of 3. Defense and Special teams. That should be our M.O., identity, all year.

...and your excellent analysis, Pride

3. Play great sudden change.

If we turn the ball over, defense needs to step it up and get the ball back or make them punt, don't let them score. If the defense gets a turnover, offense needs to take advantage and turn it into points. That's great sudden change football.

Coach Mac promises that physical conditioning will improve. “We are going to be in shape. There will be no hands on knees. That’s more for mental toughness. We don’t want to show any weakness.”

As for Saturday’s season opener at Florida, “We’re going to blitz the heck out of them and go after their running game. If (Heisman Trophy winning QB Tim) Tebow is play-action passing, we are going to go after them. What have we got to lose?

gotta luv coach mac outlook and approach to game. show no mercy because florida will give non in return.

checked and name correct dis time

4, Score in the red zone. Need to score everytime we get there. It's so HARD to get there. When we get there we need to ramp it up and pump that ball in. Need to develop an attitude and a mentality that we are unstoppable in the red zone. Our heart beats faster, our blood pumps harder, we get excited as a group because we are gong to score and no one is going to stop us. Red Zone attitude and mentalty.

Liz -- is this the first time you met las vegas?

Kifi said...

We've got to understand the mentality of the Florida ballplayers. They know that they are good. They know that they are fast. They know that they are big. They know that they are athletic. They know that they play in the SEC. They know that the SEC is the best conference in the country.

They will demand that Hawaii respect them for the name that they wear on their uniform, and the logo on their helmet.

By halftime they will question their own belief in themselves.

By the end of the fourth quarter they will fold their tents and go home.

We will hit them and hit them and hit them and hit them again.

We don't care how big or fast you are. We will not be impressed by you or your uniform. We want to see your heart and spirit. We will hit you again and again and again, until you show me what you are made of.

I don't care who Percy Harvin is, send anybody over the middle, they're going to get hit.

Go ahead and take Tebow out if you want, save him for Miami if you want. Put anybody in there, I don't care, they're getting hit.

I know you've got some guy who's an all american linebacker. It doesn't matter, because we don't get the papers at our grass shack in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. My boy Laupepa will bury him over and over and over again.

HIT, HIT, HIT.

Kifi said...

Soory gang, gotta take off my helmet and my eye black. Gotta go bed. I was getting too excited.

Kifi said...

Las Vegas ~ At anytime during Liz's stay, did you get a feeling that you were supposed to break into a musical number?

Kekoa said...

"Put anybody in there...they're gonna get HIT!" -Prideperiod, former UH Warrior.
______________________________________________

"This is exactly what needs to happen...on EVERY play." -Kekoa, active duty Tsaiko Warrior.

"I don't wanna do this anymore, it HURTS!"
-Tim Tebow, former Florida QB.

GO WARRIORS!

Kekoa said...

Al - Help me bail water! I think SteveM left the water running in his stateroom.

Good Morning Tsaiko Nation! Our sea anchor didn't keep us very stable last night and out of the shipping lanes. We almost got run over my a Matson freighter and a Young's Brother Barge.

Note to Pride: Little help here please!

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, 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, & A-House toast the Warriors at Duke's with Longboards and Sam Adams before their designated driver, Homey, courteously delivers them all home safe.
