A tough game needs tough plays

Running Back Alex Green showed a lot of toughness and determination scoring a TD late in the game to move the Warriors ahead for the last time.

He gets the handoff and sees a defender in the hole.



He cuts to his right to try to avoid the tackle...into another defender.

Both Rebels meet him short of the goal line.


Green takes the hits but keeps driving for the end zone.


....and SCORES!!!

What is pass interference?


Rodney Bradley draws a pass interference call from the UNLV Cornerback to set up a touchdown run on the next play.

Missed opportunities

In another instance, what seemed good at the time could really have been a missed opportunity.


Greg Alexander completes a pass to Greg Salas for a nice gain. But if he looks in another direction, maybe it's a TD to another receiver downfield.

Game of inches

Got back last night from Las Vegas.

A one point loss by the Warriors was pretty tough. Even more when you look at how close it is between succeeding and not can be.



Lametrius Davis has a ball sail inches over his reach and it lands in a Rebel receiver's hands for a touchdown.

Road Warrior Jack!



We made the trip to Las Vegas to watch the Warriors play UNLV.
Warrior Jack came along with us.

We made it to LAX!



Pit stop on the way to Vegas.



Warrior Jack wishes he could ride inside with us.



Our home away from home.

A New Perspective

We were at Aloha Stadium again this morning. This time though we got to see a game from a different view- the coaches box!
Ryan's team played in the first of four games there and as usual I helped him out with shooting game film. He got us field passes and so Juliet and I went up to the coaches' boxes and watched the game from there.
It was a treat for Juliet.

It was great for me because it was very easy to shoot the video from up there...and it was in the shade!

Football!

Football season is finally here in full swing!

UH Warriors escaped with a win last night. Before the game we got together with the Tsaikos again at the Cabana by the Pearl Harbor Marina. It was great to see everyone again...we had people there literally from one end of the state (Waimea, Kauai) to the other (Hilo, Big Island)


We were surprised (and a little saddened) to find out that two of our Tsaiko friends will be making a one-way trip to the mainland when they go up for the UNLV game.

midnight and Barbara will be moving to Arlington, Texas to help care for some family. We'll miss them. They are a very nice and gentle couple.
