Message: Clarkman- I give SC credit for its history in NCAA football, but all I am saying is that it has been awhile since you dominated the sports and the Pac 12 now is really shifted to a two team rivalry between OU and SU and, unfortunately, SC and UCLA are not back in the mix. I would rather see it with them back in their glory days, but you need to send Lane Kiffin packing before this will happen. Just look at what Brian Kelly and Jim Harbaugh/David Shaw did to turn these other teams around and it will become clear what the Trojans need to do. BTW, Google Sears Cup Champions for overall NCAA Division I athletic excellence over the last twenty years and you may be surprised by the total domination that SU has put up (19 - 20 years #1 in the nation). So, no, we aren't just about football, but have total balance athletically second to none. And, I will make you a wager today that come November we will be Pac12 Champs contending again for a BCS Bowl and SC will still be floundering along with Lane Kiffin. Fear the Tree buddy!
What's a Tree buddy?

Message: Another Cougar sighting! I love getting two in one day. I was at Dominos on Sepulveda across from the Manhattan mall and I met Gabriel Gill, (HHS'11). Gabriel lived near Broadway and Inglewood Ave. He said his first two years the campus was fairly tough but when principal Mark Newell showed up that changed in a hurry! Well back to stalking!
Hey Clark, I have an idea. How about saving them up and doing them all at one time during the week? Just a thought and thanks again for another sighting.

Message: Cougar sighting! Had to score one more to finish the summer! Met Tina Qscos('84 today at home Depot. I coached the track team in '82 so she remembered some of my athletes. The Cougar Stalker strikes again! Hey Dean.. Stanford has had four or five good years, zero national championships and no appearances in the championship game. Wait till November/December to toot your horn if your team proves its worth on the field.
Nice one Clark, thanks man.

Message: Well Robin, thanks for spilling the beans about the BD party. However, things have gotten a lot worse than when I use to serve breakfast for dinner.. the menu was going to be nothing but side dishes and finger food. I stole that from Cher in Mermaids as cooking a whole real meal is just too much commitment. John, if you come over at 4 you'll be hanging curtains with me. If you come over at 5 you'll be skurring the marshmallow and pineapple kebobs. If you come over at 6 there's miniature meatballs on a toothpick. If you come over at 7 we'll be in bed. Take your pick. I think it might be time to hit Arturo's for Mex food and enjoy those huge bowls of home made chips. I learned (from you) how to balance those bowls on my head when they were empty and I'll make sure I don't eat the paper that the burrito has around it next time. How silly we all were 14 years ago. I'll call you to make an Arturo's date. (unless you want my hor's ovaries)
Well there's a real let down, and I thought it was all set up at party central. Arturos it is then.

Message: Happy B-Day John!!! I heard a rumor that your newest neighbors the Noodlemans were putting on a spread for you tonight like no other. It might be breakfast for dinner but who can do it better than Howie and Tilly? Have a great day buddy and BTW congrats on 1400+ pages here.
Thanks Robin, So that's why she hasn't wished me a happy birthday yet. Really didn't know they were going to all that trouble but will stop by Jan and Judy's place about dinner time. I hope she didn't forget the cake and ice cream and those little "Happy Birthday" hats I love so much. She is probably out buying me a nice present as we speak. I CAN'T WAIT!!! Oh Boy Oh Boy!!

Message: Happy birthday buddy. Hanging around with you for the the last 1/2 century has been a absolute blast, thanks for the memories. Memories like playing pool the nights both my boys were born, watching you fly off of the Redondo Beach break wall (we were crab fishing) powered by a tsunami sized wave that launched you about 200 yards, Christmas shopping at Sears Inglewood at 11:00 PM on Christmas eve, Untold numbers of street races and lots of other excitment. I wouldn't trade them for anything. I love you man: Mikey
Hi Mike, Yes we've racked up some miles together, alright. I will never live the breakwater dive down, will I Thanks for being my good friend all these years. I LOVE YOU TOO MAAAANN!!
