Homecoming fair promises ‘more’

CHASEN DAVIS / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Last year’s Homecoming fair featured a special performance by the UH band, cheerleaders and Rainbow Dancers.

To promote university spirit at Friday’s volleyball game and Saturday’s football game, ASUH will be giving away free Homecoming T-shirts to undergraduate students with a validated ID while supplies last. The same T-shirt will be available for sale at the UH Mānoa Bookstore during the week of Homecoming as well as at the ASUH tent during the fair itself. The big prizes will come from the fair’s “Passport” activity. Passport stamp cards will be given out to attendees, and those who fi ll out the passport by participating in the games and activities provided by the RIOs are eligible to win prizes such as iPods, an iPad, Beats by Dr. Dre headphones and a helicop-

Ponciano noted that last year’s participation was unprecedented, with a larger crowd than ever before due to the increased space that T.C. Ching Field provided. Both he and Mizusawa are expecting a similar, if not larger figure for this year’s fair, hoping for a high level of student participation at the fair and involvement from everyone in the UH community as well. Ponciano commented, “It’s often mistaken as just a pep rally for sports, but it’s actually a celebratory event to promote school spirit and fellowship among, not only the students, but also the faculty, the staff, the alumni and the overall public UH community.” Mizusawa continued, “This year, I think a big thing we also want to try to encourage is that it is defi nitely open to anyone that goes to UH plus the outside community … and we encourage alumni to come back, because that’s kind of what homecoming is about too. And to have alumni come back, especially at the fair – it just gives it more meaning.”

“This is definitely going to be bigger than last year, because we definitely have more of everything,” said ASUH President Richard Mizusawa. The Homecoming fair will feature many of UH Mānoa’s Registered Independent Organizations, including the Debate and Forensics Society, Asian Beat Covers, Friends of Poetry and Pi Sigma Epsilon. Each RIO is encouraged to have a game or activity for participants. In addition, a number of outside organizations and co-sponsors of the fair will be in attendance. Sodexo will be selling beverages and food such as gourmet hot dogs, Korean barbeque kim chee burgers, chowder and chili in bread bowls, smoothies and sherbert – and everything will be between $1

A week of school festivities will culminate in the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s Homecoming fair, which will take place on Friday from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Clarence T.C. Ching Field. The event, a collaborative effort between the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i and the Campus Center Board Activities Council, will feature games and activities, entertainment, food and giveaways.

Grant Ponciano of CCB said, “This year is the second time we’re holding it at the T.C. Ching Field. Last year we moved it to that location to extend the event, so that there’s more space for more attractions, more vendors, more clubs to participate.” One thing ASUH and CCB aren’t expecting for the fair is bad weather. “We’re not expecting any rain,” Ponciano joked.

Junior quarterback Sean Schroeder never got his chance in three seasons at Duke University, so he decided to transfer and found himself at UH, where he was chosen as the Warriors’ starter and eventual team captain. “It ’s definitely an honor,” said Schroeder. “It ’s not something that I take lightly and it ’s something that I’m going to keep working on – my leadership.”

Senior defensive end Paipai Falemalu ccould not have predicted the challenges his defense would face. h Out of 120 FCS teams, the Warriors place 106th in rushing yards allowed p (214.0/game), 119th in scoring defense (43.8 points per game), and tied for last in red zone defense (18 touchdowns and two field goals allowed in 16 attempts). “Of course it bothers me,” Falemalu said. “We try to be one of the best defenses in the nation and our stats being that low is hurtful, especially being a captain. I’m supposed to help rally the troops, and I’m going to try my best to bring everybody together and let everybody know we just gotta keep fighting.”

E x c l us

THE SIGNAL CALLER

Junior cornerback Mike Edwards, alongside Schroeder, was named captain by Chow after the team’s 69-24 Nevada loss. Edwards has enjoyed considerable personal success thus far in the season. He leads the Mountain West and is tenth in the country in passes defended (1.8) and leads the nation in kickoff return yardage (629). “It means a lot, but it [is because] of all my hard work and everything I’ve been doing day in and day out,” Edwards said. “We just want to continue to work hard as a unit. I can’t do it without those boys blocking for me. I just got to continue to work hard and make plays for my team.”

JOEY R AMIREZ Associate Sports Editor This season is not what Norm Chow had in mind when he accepted the head coaching position for the University of Hawai‘i football team. In their past three games, the Warriors (1-4, 0-1 Mountain West) have been outscored 168-38. In addition, UH has been held to less than 175 yards of total offense in its past two match-ups and have also failed to hold a Football Bowl Subdivision opponent to less than 47 points this entire season. “We’re all frustrated,” said Chow. “You can’t help but be

frustrated. We knew it was gonna be tough as a coaching staff [because] we moved up a league. We don’t make excuses.” After playing their past two games in Provo, Utah, and San Diego, Calif., the Warriors hope that a return to Aloha Stadium will provide them an edge in their annual homecoming game this Saturday at 6 p.m. The Warriors also need a victory this weekend in order to start salvaging their season. UH must win five of its last seven games in order to become bowl-eligible, so a loss on Saturday would drastically reduce those chances.

NEW- LOOK NEW MEXICO

On the opposite sideline, the Warriors’ opponent, New Mexico (3-3, 0-1 Mountain West), is hoping to rain on Hawai‘i’s homecoming parade. And this year’s Lobos are significantly more dangerous than any other New Mexico team in recent history. After suffering multiple onewin seasons, the 2012 Lobos have already matched their win total from the past three years in just six games and are hoping to make their fi rst bowl game since 2007. A large part of New Mexico’s success has been its ground game, which ranks eighth in the

nation with 270.7 yards per game and is led by junior running back Kasey Carrier (469 yards, 6.0 yards per carry, six touchdowns) and freshman quarterback Cole Gaustche (309 yards, 6.6 YPC, four TD). “We have to stop the run game,” Chow said. “We have got to stop the mid-line dive that we didn’t stop against Reno (Nevada). [Defensive coordinator] Thom [Kaumeyer] and the defensive guys know that. They hold onto the ball. They don’t turn it over.” Unfortunately for the Warriors, stopping the run has been one of the team’s biggest challenges so far. They rank 106th in

the country, allowing 214.0 rushing yards per game. The Warriors, who have also allowed 45 or more points in three straight games for the fi rst time since 1998, are looking to continue fi ghting through one of UH’s roughest stretches in recent history. “Needless to say, we are very disappointed with what’s going on,” said Chow. “I saw the hurt in the eyes of my players. … I looked at the tapes and there is not one kid that quit. I saw kids in tears on the sidelines. We tried hard. We just need to be better. We need to be smarter. We can’t make dumb mistakes like we’re making.”

The Enos connection: passing the torch M A RC A R A K A K I Sports Editor

It is been a long time coming for the Enos brothers. Older brother Rykin laid the foundation, and younger brother Dyrbe is following in his footsteps. Rykin, a 2007 graduate of Kamehameha-Kapālama, began playing basketball for the Rainbow Warriors in 2008. Dyrbe, a 2012 graduate of Kamehameha-

K āpalama, accepted an opportunity to walk-on to the men’s basketball team this fall. “He watched me grow up and I tr y to be his role model,” Rykin Enos said. “I feel like he wants to make a name for himself. “I pick on him all the time. We work out together. Our family is real close. He’s like my boy – my best friend.” As for Dyrbe, he feels a sense of responsibility to be like his brother. “[I] gotta live up to my brother’s footsteps because I have big shoes to fill,” Dyrbe Enos said. “He’s up there in my role models because he taught [me] when I was little – right and wrong. And he taught me basketball my whole life. Without him, I wouldn’t be the player I am today.”

ʻITʼS A WARʼ In 2009, Rykin appeared in 10 games for the Rainbow Warriors, scoring three points and adding three assists. Following the season, Rykin then walked on to the football team and played on the scout team in 2010. Last season, he appeared in six games, recording one tackle. Rykin is currently a se nior linebacker for the Warriors. With Dyrbe going out for the basketball team, Rykin still spends time on the court to practice with him. “I get on him all the time. I’m making sure he’s working out every day,” Rykin said. “In order for him to work out, he needs a rebounder, so anytime I can, he

asks me to come and help him. So I’ll play defense on him in one-on-one for like two hours in the gym. I do whatever I can to help him be a better player.” But when asked who’s a better athlete, Rykin responded, “I am.” “It’s a war,” Rykin said when it came to competing in sports. “He’ll beat me in basketball – like ‘Horse.’ But in one-on-one, I’ll tackle him. He’ll try to elbow me.” A nd Dyrbe agreed . “Basketball-wise, I think I’ll be better but I think he’s the better athlete,” Dyrbe said. As Rykin finishes up his senior year on the football team, Dyrbe attempts to become a Rainbow Warrior. “It’s been a good experience

so far – getting to know the players,” Dyrbe said. “[I’m] just trying to practice and hope for the best.” Rykin Enos and the Warriors host New Mexico this Saturday at A loha Stadium. K ickoff is set for 6 p.m. Dyrbe Enos and the Rainbow Warrior basketball team will kickoff its season this Friday at the ‘Ohana Hoopfest following the Rainbow Wahine volleyball match.

The Rainbow Warriors are coming off of a dramatic personnel change this offseason and return just two of the team’s top seven scorers. “What makes it exciting is we got a whole slew of newcomers,” said Akana. “We’ve got eight freshmen, so this will give the fans a chance to see all the new faces that we have on our men’s basketball team.”

N O DA N C I N G THIS YEAR On the women’s side, fans will get their f i r s t glimpse at the Rainbow Wahine under new head coach Laura Beeman. “We’re gonna give them [the fans] a little bit of our team: probably play a little full court three to five minute scrimmage just to get the girls warmed up [and] let people see what we have going on, maybe do a three-point contest,” said Beeman.

DEBORAH MANOG / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Junior forward Kamilah Martin led the ‘Bows in scoring (13.2 points per game) and rebounds (10.6 per game) last season.

This year, Beeman made changes in comparison to how previous ‘Ohana Hoopfests were run. “ To me, ‘Ohana Hoopfest is family,” Beeman said. “It ’s not: L et ’s watch our girls dance. So we’re not going to be doing any dancing this year. It ’s going to be: L et ’s get to know the girls, let ’s see what we’re about and let ’s get the kids involved.” Admission to Friday night’s event is free and Beeman hopes that fans will take advantage of this opportunity to see UH basketball for the fi rst time this season. “You want to support these young ladies,” Beeman said. “We’ve got a lot of local girls. We’ve got a lot of girls that are away from home whose families would die to be here Friday night and can’t. I think it’s an opportunity for [the fans] to see what the new program’s going to look like.” Beeman, who spent the past two years as associate head coach at USC, praised UH’s tipoff event in comparison to those of other programs. “ We really didn’t do anything like this [at USC] and I think that ’s what makes Hawai‘i so unique. There will probably be ver y few Big West schools that will do anything that can compare to the ‘Ohana Hoopfest.”

Three students have a chance to win a semester of freee textbooks from the UH Bookstores at a halfcourt shot contest to be held at ‘Ohana Hoopfest. Other prizes include a Vacations Hawai‘i Trip to Las Vegas and a round-trip for two on Hawaiian Airlines to a U.S. west coast destination.

After current Warrior head coach Norm Chow chose not to retain Miano, he accepted a head coaching position at his alma mater, Kaiser High School. “The timing was perfect,” Miano said. “I didn’t get retained by Norm Chow and the job opened up and now I thought ‘this is an opportunity to do what I have always talked about wanting doing.’” Miano still maintains a high level of respect for Chow and closely follows Hawai‘i’s games. “A lot my staff has been to the games, and I’ve either watched them on TV or listened on the radio and I read the newspaper every day and I call those guys and text those guys,” Miano said. “I’m still very close obviously to [Warrior linebackers coach] Tony Tuioti, and a lot of those players and staff I have nothing but love and aloha for. “When you look at the discipline that he’s [Chow] instilling upon the young people – I thought that’s always something that could be improved. I like the way they’re competing in practice. From a recruiting standpoint, he’s visible in the community. I think there’s a lot of positives going forward.”

COLLEGE TO HIGH SCHOOL Although the level of play is lower, the Hawai‘i Kai native has a high level of respect for high school coaches. “ The unsung heroes are the grassroots guys – the [high school] guys that make this all possible and do it because they love it,” Miano said. “[In high school coaching], you’re even more hopefully in a positive way [trying] to get them to understand to make good life decisions and the importance of their education ... trying to get

H OM E C OM I N G Miano will also get a homecoming at the high school level this week. The Kaiser Cougars will play the Kalani Falcons on Thursday, Oct. 11. Kalani also has former Warrior coaches Ron and Cal Lee on staff. “Ron Lee and Cal Lee were my coaches at Kaiser,” Miano said. “They were there for most of my 13 years at the University of Hawai‘i. Both of those guys I love and respect and think so much of. What they’ve done at Kalani is what I’m trying to do at Kaiser – that is, bring the pride back and bring the school spirit and the community and get them back supporting the football program and the academic institution. And now the east side is pretty fired up about the Lee’s being at Kalani and what’s happening here at Kaiser.”

them to think about going to college, whether it’s playing football or just going to school.” Miano headed the walk-on program as a coach at UH, which helped him to relate with his players at Kaiser. “It enables you to realize, even in the National Football League as a first round draft pick, how many mistakes there are,” Miano said. “You can’t measure someone’s heart. You can’t measure someone’s desire. ... That’s why it enables me to see some of these high school kids and you’re like, ‘He may not be as big. He may not be as fast. He may not have all these other things that you look for in a Division I athlete.’ But he’s a football player because he works so hard and it means so much to him. “We have so many kids out here that have desire to be good. ... Whatever they do to further their education, if football is the keys to the vehicle, that’s awesome.”

Miano also sought the help of former UH head coach Dick Tomey, who coached from 1977-86 and amassed a 63-46-3 record. After his time at UH, Tomey coached at the University of Arizona for 14 seasons and at San Jose State for five seasons. Tomey then returned to Hawai‘i to become the special teams coach in 2011 under former head coach Greg McMackin. “He [Miano] and his staff have done a great job,” Tomey said. “The kids have a lot of confidence. They’ve done a great job and I think that reflects a lot of good leadership.”

POSSIBILITIES STILL REMAIN A lthough Miano is enjoying his time at Kaiser, he does not rule out the possibility of coming back to UH. “I would never say no to that,” Miano said. “I always said it would have to be the right head coach. It would have to be in the right city. ... To go back to the University of Hawai‘i is something that I would have to consider because I loved my 13 years [coaching] there.”

HOMECOMING 2012 Inouye enjoys a California homecoming JEREMY NIT TA Senior Staff Writer

For University of Hawai‘i senior golfer Megan Inouye, this year will be a homecoming away from home. As Hawai‘i heads onto the road to participate in the University of Wyoming Cowgirl Desert Intercollegiate in Palm Beach, Calif., Inouye will take advantage of the opportunity to play in front of her friends and family for perhaps the last time in her career. Inouye, who grew up in nearby Manhattan Beach, Calif., is excited to be playing at a course that she grew up on.

“I’ve played on these greens before, although not this exact course,” said Inouye. “Hopefully my experience gives me some advantages because the conditions and how everything plays is a big part of how we play. So hopefully it will help me and help my team.”

L O O K I N G BAC K Inouye plans to go all out for her f inal season w ith the R a inbow Wahine. “This year, being my last year, I think it’s more about performing than improving,” said Inouye. “There’s really nothing

to lose, so I’m just going for it and seeing what happens.” Inouye has also tried to take on more of a leadership role this year, following the golfers before her. “Our coach [Lori Castillo] has always stressed to us to take the freshmen and underclassmen under our wing,” said Inouye. “I’m trying to help them traverse the waters of college, and hopefully I’m being successful and helping them out.” Inouye also feels that her experiences have helped her develop as a person. “I’ve definitely grown up a lot being here,” said Inouye. “I’ve gone through some experiences that have really shaped me as a person, both academically and athletically. The people that I’ve had as teammates have changed me. I just love it. It’s great for me as a person, because I feel that I’m a better person for everyone for it.”

Despite the challenges and changed outlooks for Inouye, nothing beats the chance to play in front of her family one last time. “My parents have taught me a lot, like just how to be a better person,” said Inouye. “My dad is a lawyer, so he’s defi nitely taught me a lot about having that competitive drive and aggression and [staying] motivated. “They’ve defi nitely always been there for me. Whenever I have a bad round, or when something really fun or exciting [happens] or if I have a great day, I have to share it with them. They can cheer me up when I need it, or calm me down when I need it. They mean a lot.” As her fi nal season commences, Inouye looks back at one last lesson she plans to keep with her for the rest of her life. “Live in the moment and leave everything the way you want it,” said Inouye. “I want to go on the golf course and not leave with any regrets, and same with school and friends and everything. I don’t want to have any regrets.”

Coach Les: lessons from a legend M A RC A R A K A K I Sports Editor As one of the greatest University of Hawai‘i coaches of all time, L es Murakami left a legacy that current UH Mānoa students can learn from. Murakami was the head coach of the Rainbow baseball team for just over 30 years and took his teams to numerous championships and victories. And he still preaches the same lessons. “Well, number one, the most important thing is to study hard and graduate,” Murakami said. “If you don’t graduate and the opportunity is there for them to excel, a lot of times they’re not going to be able to do it because they’re going to look at what this guy did when they went to school.” For his athletes, school always came first. “Most of my ballplayers knew that we’re not going to fool around,” Murakami said. “It’s not a matter of if you wanna go, it’s you gotta go. If you needed help you gotta ask. It wasn’t that we weren’t going to give them the help. We had all the help we could get. We had great tutors.” But on the baseball diamond, Murakami said that his players “ … just worked hard” to achieve success. “Number one, we tried to get the best people that we could get,” Murakami said. “And the best from Hawai‘i.”

On the stadium to be named after him, former Rainbow coach Les Murakami had one word: “fantastic.”

Keeping the best talent in Hawai‘i is difficult for many UH coaches. And it was no different for Murakami. “It was difficult but we tried to convince our local players that

the grass isn’t always greener on the other side,” Murakami said. A nd Murakami’s preference in athletes suited Hawai‘i’s ballplayers. “I like defense and I like speed,” Murakami said.

C U R R E N T ʻB OW S Murakami also praised current UH coach Mike Trapasso’s choice of opponents. “Our fans are pretty akamai,” Murakami said. “ They know when you’re playing good teams and they know when you’re not. When you’re not playing good teams, you’re not gonna draw [fans]. When you play good teams and you play fairly well, then you have a good draw. And I’m happy that you’re drawing because I don’t want a white elephant out there. I enjoy when they’re playing good teams. I just hope he keeps playing those good teams. My whole philosophy was if you want to be the best, you gotta play the best. That’s why my non-conference schedule was with a lot of the Pac-[12] teams – UCL A, USC, Stanford State.” o d and a d Arizona o a State.

And after I had Derek Tatsuno there wasn’t enough room to come into the stadium. Everything was sold out. They opened the ticket office at 12 o’clock and can you imagine the line from 12 o’clock – went all the way out the back gate, the bottom gate. “For one thing, he had great command of his pitches. His focus was unbelievable and he had a great arm of course. And he knew how to win.” But an NCA A title is what Murakami worked towards. “No question,” Murakami said about wanting to see UH win a championship. “For me, I always had one goal and that was to go to the World Series and win it. Unfortunately, we didn’t win it. And I think that’s the biggest regret I have. Even if we came in second, it’s not the same as winning the championship.”
