  1. My 2nd Christmas now off the mainland. With any luck next year will be the final Christmas I spend on American soil. For this year I’ll work, maybe go see a movie and get my fishing gear together to go early next week for a couple of days of fishing and swimming. Today I am just going to remember that my Oma, all of 18 years old was spending her first year since she was 5 without having the Nazis in power in Germany. She was pregnant with my dad. She had a sister that survived the war, but she lost her brother at Stalingrad. She would turn 19 on January 24, 1946 and my dad was born the next day. He was one of the 250,000 German children who were born with American GI’s for dads at the end of the war. My dad never met his real father. I do kinda wonder what Christmas was like for my Oma in 1945 in her hometown in Eschwege. I’ll think of her today and how much I still miss her 35 years after she passed away from Ovarian cancer. So many good memories with her at Christmas. I’ll call my mom and talk to my niece and nephew to see what Santa brought them as well. They’re 6 and 3 so it should be fun to listen to them.
  2. To me that's part of the allure. If they wanted to make an interactive Avatar World for people to explore I'd do that all day long. Movies like this help to bring out the inner child. I believe that's a really good thing for all of us.
  3. Once Chang let Micah be Micah and turned him loose the game changed. He has had some great coaching long before he got to Hawai’i and it shows in how he moves on the run, but still looks downfield. The QB he was at the beginning of the season to now is like night and day. The game slowed down and boy does Hawai’i have a talent on their hands. Wish he was 6’3”, but if he was he’d be playing for a top 15-20 team right now. It’s hard to describe how good he is to most folks because he plays more than half his games 3000 miles from the mainland and it’s always late at night. Alejado just has it. Same thing as what Vince had when Texas decided to let Vince be Vince. He’s obviously not VY, but it’s the comparing coaches letting their guy do what they do so well. Can’t wait to see him next season.
  4. The joy of watching all these kids get to talk to their favorite players and get autographs after the game is really cool. Man it just makes you feel good about things. You can understand why this is Hawaii’s team when you see this.
  5. Pofele Ashlock, Euless Trinity’s finest, is the MVP of the game. Well earned! Man that was so cool to watch. I will NEVER forget this game.
  6. I’m laughing, but yeah don’t mess with people from there.
  7. Christ what an ending. That I got to watch it right in the middle of a bunch of Hawaiians that know these guys because so many are from here was so, so, so MUCH FUN. I highly suggest watching a game here when you get the chance!
  8. Yeah I might not be attempting to pick a fight when you’re in a stadium filled with Hawaiians.
  9. My God what a game. Best game I have ever watched in person.
  10. That was insane to watch from about 15 yards away!
  11. Time to see if Micah can end this. This would be the best possible ending I can think of if he does this against Sagapolutele.
  12. If he had done this to begin the game this game looks a lot different. Three offside calls on ONE DRIVE. That’s just brutal right now. I have never seen that before.
  13. I would take Ashlock as well.
