Yesterday, David and I went to our first Tsai-ko tailgate in two years. It was good to see everybody, again. Here are some of us (all photos by gigi-hawaii):
David, wearing his Tsai-ko Tshirt.
Sheila, HiFlyer, SteveM, and NorthShoreFan.
That’s Slugger, standing, talking to Mrs. Momo and Momo (Garret’s parents), and MP (Dennis).
Lopaka43, Juliet, D1Shima, Lopaka’s wife, and JaM.
Homey with the cabana donations.
Pomai talks to Sailor Blue and Janice.
That’s Koakane, leaning on JM2375’s shoulder. BG’s back is to the camera, and the guy in the yellow shirt is HoweLee.
And last, but not least — Al. 808Ike is to the right of Al.
I would say that there were about 40 people at the tailgate, which was held at Richardson Field across the street from Aloha Stadium.
Warrior Beat blog guru, Stephen Tsai (the Star-Advertiser reporter we Tsai-kos are named after), was not present as he had to report on the UH vs. Charleston Southern game.
UH won 66-7. About five minutes before the end of the game, coach McMackin had the boys take a knee rather than kick a meaningless field goal. By that time, I was already snoozing in bed. UH’s record is now 2-2.

Missed all the Fs with you all!
We had our own fun here last night with our Rotary party for new and prospective new members. I listened to much of the game throughout my iPhone ESPN Radio app.
I’ll be back for the Halloween weekend games. Hope to see you then!

66-7? Wow! I don’t follow football, but I have friends that must be ecstatic.

(BG was blocking my handsome face in one of the photos). The guy in that particular photo, wearing yellow, longsleeve, Harley Biker shirt is “HoweLee.” My teamate from HS almost 50 years ago! His real name is Tom Haughey. This is his 2nd fb season with the Tsaiko’s.
