UH basketball

What gets your salivary glands juiced up more, li hing mui or the upcoming recruiting class for the UH basketball program?  Eight sought after recruits are playing for Manoa next year and even though they are unproven, the potential is there. And was that Josten Thomas and his family taking in the aloha lifestyle at the [...]

After giving the idea of Joe Bryant applying for the Head Coach position for UH men’s bball, there’s definite business merit to this. UH Athletics has been saying they have to run their programs more like a business and that the buyout of Coach Nash’s current contract is a business decision. Hiring Coach Jellybean could [...]

Head Coach Jellybean??

by Gee Why on March 12, 2010

in Pulp

Now this is a surprise! Kobe Bryant’s father, Joe “Jellybean” Bryant, says he’s applying for the head coaching position for the UH Men’s Basketball team.  Jellybean has some coaching experience but isn’t renowned for this win-loss record you know. But on the flipside, his mere connection with Kobe and the NBA will surely attract talent [...]

With the contract buyout of Coach Bob Nash, the UH Men’s Basketball team is officially looking for a new Head Coach. Who could that be? Here are some mentioned, speculated names. Who could be the next UH Men’s Basketball Head Coach?polls I admit that I am piqued by Reggie Theus. He is a known name [...]

How Was Your Tsunami Day?

by Gee Why on February 27, 2010

So how did your tsunami warning day go? Lively is my say. Luckily, nothing significant occurred for Hawaii but still the day was filled with anticipation as the first projected wave was to hit the islands. Our familu was glued to the television news all morning, watching the traffic cams and hearing the typical outrageous [...]

UH men’s basketball coach, Bob Nash, isn’t have a successful WAC season, and the future of his coaching career with the Rainbows is in question. Despite the team’s win-loss record, I wonder if guard Dwain Williams will determine Bob Nash’s future as Head Coach. Williams is a long range threat hitting the most three point [...]

Spotted a Farmers Insurance Hawaii banner yet again. This time at the Stan Sheriff Center at UH’s oh-so-close loss to New Mexico State.

University of Hawaii basketballer, Rod Flemings, has his unique sense of style with his kicks. In 2010, he’s at it again with a garish display of every color in the rainbow and then some. The kicks are custom made and molded to better fit Rod’s dogs, but my question is how does Rod get to [...]

Seen at the Stanley

by Gee Why on January 5, 2010

in Life

What was seen at the Stan Sheriff Center aka “The Stanley” during UH’s basketball victory over Boise State? The UH Cheer squad was back in action, but the Dance Team was MIA. The Macho Nachos were too manly for me. I actually caught something dropped from the half ime blimp. First time ever in my [...]

I’m still catching up with 2009 with random pictures taken on 12/28/2009. Was 2009 fierce for you? Retro-styled Air Jordans at Macy’s. UH men’s basketball takes on the powerhouse of Northwestern State. Can you spot former UH head coach Riley Wallace in the stands?

Just speculating what Roderick Flemings’ “special order” kicks will be. If he wants a doozy, how about these Adidas T-Mac 6 special make up by Undercrown? They’re even in UH colors of white, green, and orange.

What Will Rod be Rockin’?

by Gee Why on November 14, 2009

in Addiction

I thought Roderick Flemings’ gold TS Commander LT Adidas was going to be his kicks of choice for the season. But no, Rod has a surprise in store. Flemings said he is waiting for his own “special order” to come in. “These shoes were just, uh, temporary,” Flemings said. “I got ‘em over the summer [...]

What’s Rod Rockin’?

in Addiction,kicks

Whoa! Will UH forward, Roderick Flemings, be the golden child of the WAC this season? Just what is he rockin’ in this picture in the Honolulu Advertiser? Last season, the Golden Rod donned rainbow-hued Undercrown special editions. This year he’s got the Adidas Nation TS Commander LT in gold. These are supposedly a limited edition [...]

Can the supposedly best 13-year old basketball player play hoops at UH?  At 6-6, Andrew Wiggins will probably (if not already) be recruited by the big name schools, but why not play in the Aloha State?

I still remember when UH ballers AC Carter and Mike Robinson rocked these Air Max Total Uptempos. The Black/Volt colorways are being retroed.

So far, the recent recruits of the UH Men’s Basketball team look good on paper. Joining guards Jeremy Lay and Dwain Williams is 7-footer Douglas Kurtz. He’s no stick at 270 pounds and can shoot (.671 field goal and .847 free throw percentage). Hope this Juco player can contribute at the D1 level for two [...]

New UH Team Kicks?

by Gee Why on January 4, 2009

in Addiction,Passion

At the UH Men’s basketball WAC season opener against Boise State (which they loss), the squad displayed new team shoes. These look like the Adidas TS Team Creators in a custom UH colorway that most of the team wore except for Roderick Flemings who’s still rocking his Rainbow Warrior Editions. Hot or not? Personally, I [...]

Little late, but some pictures from the UH versus George Washington University game from the Rainbow Classic. My pre-game-ritual meal – chicken sandwich, garlic fries, and a Mountain Dew (not pictured) from Gordon Biersch. Thanks to the Greatest Legal Mind Ever, the seats are always excellent. UH opens the second half with a big lead. [...]

The “Highlights” of Ji Xiang

by Gee Why on December 30, 2008

in Passion

Wang Zhizhi. Mengke Bateer. Yao Ming. Yi Jianlian. Ji Xiang? Four Chinese Nationals have made it to the NBA, and will University of Hawaii’s Ji Xiang be next? Ji is a freshman forward for UH who plays sparingly for the Rainbow Warriors. In Hawaii’s drubbing of George Washington in the Rainbow Classic, the 6-10 Ji [...]
