Thurs, July 8 04 "NCAA Update. Moose's Preseason rankings" Myk

By Moose Salzer

1) Miami (Fla.) 2) Georgia 3) Oklahoma 4) Michigan 5) Hawai'i 6) LSU 7) Florida State
8) USC 9) Ohio State 10) Missouri 11) Kansas State 12) Maryland 13) California
14) Texas 15) Iowa 16) Tennessee 17) Virginia 18) Virginia Tech 19) Oregon St.
20) Wisconsin

Players and things to keep an eye on: Obviously I can't know everything about all schools, player, et, al, so I'm gonna keep mainly an eye on Virginia NCAA & of course Hawai'i. But here some other players and schools that have interesting goings on that I noticed recently: **)Gotta love Univ. of Virginia WR Ottawa Anderson's name. I think this guy may end up playing for the CFL's Renegades some day. He'll be a good target for Darnell Kennedy and Brad Banks.

**)Fear the Turtle? Maryland's WR/KR Steve Suter is the fastest man in the ACC!

**)The 59th Hula Bowl will be held in Maui, Hawai'i (naturally, Moose!) on January 22, 2005. Be there, Aloha!

**)The Hawai'i Bowl has been moved back from Melikaliki Maka Day to Dec. 24th, 2004 in Honolulu of course. The Conference USA winner plays the number 1, 2 or 3 seed from the W.A.C. I predict Memphis v. Hawai'i

**)Watch for Albert Toe'aina, OT at Tennesee. How did a hawai'ian boy get all the way to the volunteer state?

**)Watch also for Taitusi Lutui, OL, USC to light up the P.A.C 10

Moose's All W.A.C 1st Team picks:

Sat, July 3 04 "NCAA Update - Univ. of Hawai'i Offence to go "Ka- Chang" this year!" Moose

"NCAA Uni of Hawaii on MYKwebWORLD is massive. Can't wait! Hope you enjoyed my Arena footy reporting." Moose

Hawai'i Warrior QB Timmy Chang has an odd practice partner; to hone his deep ball, which is a critical part of former NFL /CFL QB & Coach June Jones Run'N'Shot offence, Chang practices throwing downfield at a trash can 45 yards away. His success so far: "It's hard to hit from that distance but I'm getting closer all the time." That will get him closer to "trashing" Ty Detmer's 15,035 career NCAA passing yards. Chang is at nearly 13,000 now with his senior year to go. Amazing when you consider he lost his starting job as a red-shirt freshman after three games to senior Nick Rolovich, who passed for a Hawai'i school record 34 TDs in just nine games that year. 

Then, as a red-shirt sophomore he split seven games with another senior and fellow local kid, Shawn Withy-Allen, a moose of a QB at 6'5",230 lbs. who averaged 6 yards per carry in '02. In fact Chang's Saint Louis Crusaders only lost one game in his four high school years; you guessed it - to Withy's Kalaheo Surfriders! While Rolovich, who palyed for ArenaBowl Champ San Jose this year and With, who plays for the Af2 Hawai'i Islanders hone their skills indoors, Chang, who has been at least a part-time starter for four seasons is a potential Heisman Candidate. It wasn't all rainbows in Manoa for Chang last season as he was benched for two games in favor of yet another senior, Jason (Opie) Whieldon in '03. But when Whieldon got hurt in the Bowl game last Christmas, Chang passed for 476 yards and five TDs in the triple overtime win over the University of Houston. 

Says Jones: "He'll break the NCAA mark in game six; and then he'll eventually put the mark out of reach (forever)..." This year Chang, who Jones admitted he rushed into the starting lineup, averages two interceptions per game in an average 52 attempts per, "If you can't handle the pressure, you're not a player. So don't expect Chang to get the hook this year with five inexperienced backups behind him. Unless of course it's just "garbage time" Moose

Sat, June 5 04 "University of Hawai'i Warriors 2004" Keali'i Kalua-Moose 

Coaching: H.Coach June Jones, the former NFL/CFL QB and USFL/CFL/NFL Ast. & H.Coach is now 40-24 in five seasons at the helm of his (and my) Alma Mater. Jones recently got a five-yr.-4 million$ extention that should keep him in poi, apaka-paka, cocnut and pineaplles for some time. His outstanding staff lost Offencive Ast. Tyson Hilton but retains longtime Ast(s). such as Ron (WRs) & bro. Cal Lee (Hawai'i Islanders - Af2 H.Coach/ LBs & STs Coach), Rich Miano (DBs), Wes Suan (RBs), Dan Morrison (QBs), George Lumpkin (D-line & D-Coordinator) and John Cavanaugh (O-line). QBs: Fifth-yr. Sr. Tim Chang looks to be the sixth consecutive QB Jones has moved on to a Pro League; Tim Carey (Ar.FL), Dan Robinson (NFL E), Nick Rolovich (NFL/NFL E/Ar.FL), Jared Flint & Shawn Withy-Allen (both in f2). Rolovich & 

Withy-Allen still active. Tim could hit 17,000+ yards passing this season (He's at 12,968 now) and become the NCAAs alltime leader in passing yardage ahead of Ty {7 INTs in-a-game} Detmer. This is pretty scary when you consider Rolovich and Withy-Allen actually split time with him THEIR Sr. yrs. Timmy will have the job all to himself this go-around. Last yr. he lost four starts to Sr. late bloomer Jason (Opie) Whieldon. With Opie graduated, Mike Rhode, Kainoa Akina, Nick's little bro., Jack Rolovich and underrated Ryan Stickler, who could be another Withy-Allen, are in reserve. Out of contention because they've been permanently moved to other positions are: LB/ST Chad Kapanui and WR/DB Se'e Poumele. Easily the Warriors strongest position.

RBs: It all basically depends on if West Keli'ikipi's knee is 100%. When he got hurt with five games left in the campaign it caused an awful shuffle of bodies as Soph Pesefea Fiaseu, Jr. quit at mid-season due to a lack of playing time. Newcomer Kala Latusela became a good backup last season until he too got hurt. Then the club moved 5'11", 260-lb. 3rd-string OLm Lyle Castro from number #61 to #41 and his blocking helped out down the stretch. The rest of the gang here includes the most inconsistent bunch of 'tweeners this side of Kordell Stewart. Mike Bass, who's lil' bro. Ray is a reserve DB, Michael Brewster, who was outstanding in the triple-overtime win in the Mili Kelikimaka Day Bowl game and Latusla return. Kapanui has been a runner on trick plays and Poumele, despite his slight build, was a Withy-Allen-style option QB early last season. Don't count out Kila Kamakawiwo'ole, who also plays the U-back position calling the signals for the punt teams. Corey Donahue has transferred to Colorado.

WRs: Since there are no TEs, of course, in the CFL-style 4-WR/SB Run-and-Shoot Offence, Jones has lined up such luminaries as DE Kevin Jackson, Withy-Allen and DLm Abu Ma'afala ther on gadget plays with occasional success. The four starters will probably be: Chad Owens, Nate Ilaoa (from here in Virginia!), either Poumele or Sr. Gerald Welch and Brit Komine. Jason Rivers, a true Frosh who was awful last season until the final two games. He's tall, fast and mistake-prone. Mike Akiu,Jr. and Kanale George have transferred to get playing time elsewhere. Along with Rivers, Denny Flangan and Sean Stennis, fast but inconsistent return. The Warriors lost three good players in reserves Michael Myashiro, Cliff Herbert and starter Jeremiah Cockheran. The Warriors second best unit. Special Teams: Kapanui and Kamakawiwo'ole are key here as they switched positions with Kapanui moved permanently to LB. K Justin Ah Yat, Brian's bro. messed up on 10 XPs and was benched after game seven, though he did play in the Bowl game. Luckily Nolan Miranda turned out to be OK as a Soph. 

At punter Brian Milne replaced Tim Wright after two games and was fantastic down the stretch v. Alabama and in the Bowl game. Coverage was better last year and should improve as last years Sophs and Juniors are one more yr. experienced. Trick plays abound with June and his staff and that's where former reserve QBs Poumele and Kapanui come in. Offencive Line: Easily the weakest position not that these guys aren't physically strong. Just green. All five could lose their jobs this year as more experienced players are one year older. Jones took a huge gamble on three sophs and a frosh last year and it resulted in injured QBs (Chang and Whieldon). Five players got snaps at pivot and this year bigger more experienced bodies are needed. Sr.s Phil Kauffman and Chad Kahale should start with technique-akamai and under- sized Derek Fa'avi too small (6'0" 269) at centre. Two other young players, Sam Satele and Uriah Moenoa did pretty well and have some size. Tala Esera and Brian Eaton's biggest problems are finding a permanent positions. Others who could see playing time include: Herc Satele, Sam's bro., Lui Faga and Lui Fuga, a medical red-shirt who's played both sides of the ball in his five yrs. here. Kanohao LaCount is also still here. 

The Warriors lost Castro, Kajoka Defencive Line: Could be the third best unit of the Warriors this season. Faga and Fuga could be inside, or on the 'O' line with Abu Ma'afala, Kama- kawiwo'ole, who just keeps getting bigger, Mel Purcell, Tony Akpan and Alama Francis, who's dad is former NFL'r Russ Francis, TE with the Patriots and 49ers. Three of this unit's players are suspended for the season opener for the bench clearing brawl at the end of the Christmas Bowl game. The Warriors lost Lance Samuseva, Keali'i Aguiar, Ike Sopoaga, Travis LaBoy and Jackson. LBs: The second most hurt area due to graduation: the Warriors lost Chad Kalilimoku, Keani Alapa and reserve Vili Taufa. Returing are: Kapanui, Ikaika Blackburn, Ikaika Curnan, Kilanahe Noa, L'aina Wong, Anapati Mailo and Watson Ho'olulu. Kapanui, Curnan and Noa should be the starters but Wong and Ho'olulu could scrape by. This area better get good quick! 

DBs: The Warriors lost Dave Gilmore, Kelvin Milhouse and Hyrum Peters. Lenny Peters, Brian Hollingsworth, Kenny Patton and Matt Manuma will' be the starting unit to open the season unless unseated by either Omega Hogan or Orlando Wong. Another area of some concern due to inexperience. Outlook: With a relatively easy schedule and Chang trying to be a Heisman candidate (I don't think he'll get it, but I'm pulling for him nonetheless) they should do something they haven't done yet for Jones - win the W.A.C! I am predicting an 11-3 season and back to at least the Hawai'i Bowl." Moose

Fri, Jan 16 04 "NCAA update!" Moose

First things first, as Kurt Warner says. I made a gross error last week in my column by saying that Nick Saban and LSU won the National title and of course it should be Former New York Jet and Patriots coach Pete Carroll, who has season tix to the Ar.Fl Los Angeles Avengers and is now coach of the University of Southern California Trojans, who won the B.C.S. Championship. I had Nick on the mind since he recently turned down the Chicago Bears offer to coach that team. They are currently trying to hire ex-Washington 'O'line great, Russ Grimm, who was on Pittsburgh's staff last year. (Joe Gibbs would also like to get his former 'O'linemen, Grimm for his staff."

Sat, Jan 10 04 "Mooses NCAA Update/Hawai'i Radio Update!"

"Howzit! First things first. Congratulations to Coach Nick Saban and the
Univerisity of Louisiana State Tigers on winning the '03-'04 NCAA
National Championship. Last night I went on KUMU 2 radio in Honolulu
with Randy Myamoto and Scott 'Akua nolo' Ka'alele and we discussed
the University of Hawai'i's moves to try to get into the top 20 football
programs in the country. We discussed the injury situation late in the
year as RB Pesefea Fiaseu quit the team around Thanksgiving, depleting
the Warrior 'O' backfield depth. Plug of the week to Dee's Diner in Na
'puna'puna for their 'Sports Rap' combo: teriyaki/spam/lomi-lomi & monapua
- no mad cow here! 

I talked about my new book, "Rich Salzer's Best Damn Sports Book, period", which is at the printer right now being readied for publication. 20 copies will come off the presses first and it will be ready, hopefully on the site e-store in Feb. I should be back in the Islands in April or May, depending on the Af2 Hawai'ian Islanders schedule. We talked about the demise of the Norfolk Nighthawks and Richmond Speed and 4 other bottomfeeders in the Af2 and the new teams that will replace
them. Super Bowl Wayne will be at the Media Centre along with Hawai'i DL Coach Vance Singletary covering the KUMU radio table and switchboard. Looking back at the Warriors 9-5 season, which was successful, but...With all the injuries and inconsistencies and that young 'O' line, I think the best is yet to come. I stuck my neck out on the line in predicting a 13-1 season for the Warriors next year as Timmy Chang goes for the Heisman. If he should win it, he would be the first University of Hawai'i player to ever get the trophy for best college player in the country. Here is the returning Hawai'i Warriors starters for the spring mini-camp coming up in three months:
