*thatoneguy, I'm still wondering what a Hokie is! I'm very surprised that the University of Utah isn't a bigger national power with that town (I like Salt Lake City), that great school and those facilities. TYVM for the nice words. --Anne *Kelly, Whittier is an old school, founded in 1887. Richard Nixon was an alum. They've been playing football since about 1905. They've always been the Poets! One of their league rivals is Pomona-Pitzer,

My Favorite Nicknames! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Hello Again, With football starting up, I thought this would be a good time to list team names that I like. Most are from colleges, some high schools. (drum roll) The List: Hollywood, Ca (HS) Sheiks.....Florida A&M Rattlers.....Boston Univ. Terriers.....Indiana State Sycamores.....Whittier, Ca (college) Poets.....Purdue Boilermakers.....Austin, Tx (c

*Crusade, You used to get purity in athletics at the Div. III level of colleges, but that's changed, especially in football, where Arena Football now drafts players from Divs I-AA, II, III & NAIA. Overseas basketball leagues are also mining those divisions, both men & women. I'm afraid that if you took the medals & places out of the Olympics, you would also lose TV coverage & corporate sponserships. Cities worldwide would stop bidding to

*Gideon, you don't have to sell me on Jay Johnstone. Let's just say that I know enough about him to know that in addition to being a funny man, he's also very intelligent! And, a class act. Next time I talk to him, I'll ask him if he has any extra copies of his book laying around! Don't worry, I'll be right next to you at the blackboard! I'm just as guilty! As Always, Anne

*Thatoneguy, Elway had far more classic games than Montana did. Look at the talent Joe had around him. John had less to work with. Joe had a virtual All-Pro team surrounding him on the 49rs. Plus, like yours truly, John Elway hails from the San Fernando Valley! Let's just say that John Elway was the most awesome, and that Joe Montana was the greatest! Works for me! --Anne *Gideon, you are more than welcome! You'll enjoy reading it! It

Hello Again, I wasn't around then, but remember all those old cartoons from the 50's & 60's that showed us how great the future was going to be?.....I do believe that now is those 'toons definition of the future.....What the hell happened?.....Next time you see a politician claim that he's "tough on crime", remember that he needs high crime rates to get ele

*Gideon, Dave Neihouse was LA's gift to Seattle. He was an announcer on Rams, Angels & UCLA games on the original KMPC here. Another station here is using those call letters now, & I think that's obscene, but I digress. Max & Dewey Soriano, Marvin Milkes, and Joe Schultz are to blame for the Pilots demise. They were a great lesson in what not to do. Did you read Ball Four, by Jim Bouton? Schultz was a joke as managers go, and Milkes was total

*King, I've lived in LA my entire life, done a little traveling, and believe me, there's no place like home when it comes to rudeness! On my recent trip to New York, I was met with politeness everywhere! I've never, ever seen a friendlier ballpark than Yankee Stadium. The Middle Eastern Cabbie who drove me the only time I used a cab gave me a huge break on the fare, and was very helpful! The man in the Subway booth went out of his way to make sure

*King, we'll have fun, fun, fun till my daddy takes the T-Bird awaaay. We'll make the Indy 500 look like a Roman Chariot race. Actually, I would be thrilled to be in a Chevelle SS, preferably a '66, 440 engine, mags, tuck & roll, I'm not asking for much, am I? As Always, Anne

Thatoneguyinslc, Sooo much I could say, but I'll try for brevity. I'm happy & proud to say that the nearby town of Inglewood, home of the Forum, Hollywood Park & the Beach Boys, recently told Wal-Mart to take a hike in a city referendum! Wal-Mart thought they could buy their way into Inglewood, and it didn't happen! Reading Ann Coulter is about as much fun as listening to Jerry Falwell. On #6, I say GO FOR IT!!! It's not t

*BlueDev, I tried snow skiing once, at Moonridge near Big Bear. I didn't hurt myself or anything like that, it just didn't do anything for me. I wondered what the big deal was. You're kinda confirming what I've been suspecting, that water skiing is a lot more fun. --Anne *Thatoneguy, Snowboarding is cool, in more ways than one! --Anne

Hello Again, We've all been there. Someone or something angers, saddens or frustrates us all, and we wish things would be different, and we resort to those tried and true words "Just once I'd like to (see)"..... Clean streets and sidewalks in Los Angeles, like they do in Beverly Hills & Santa Monica.....A heavyweight boxing champion that defends

*King, Bill Bradley was too good a guy to get elected President. He made too much sense, and Lord Knows, we can't have that! Zola Budd had no business being in the Olympics in the first place. Her real country was expelled, and she took side doors to rapidly become a British citizen. She can remain in oblivion where she belongs. --Anne *Gideon, The PMRC hurt the Gores more than they'll ever admit. VH-1 has run specials looking bac

*King, if Jackie Gleason had had more Soldier in the Rains & Requiem For a Heavyweights and fewer Gigots & Skidoos, he would have been considered one of the all-time movie greats and not just a great TV star. Let's also forget The Sting II! The Couch Trip was good, but mainly because of Walter Matthau. Ackroyd's good, but he had too many Dr. Detroits & Exit to Edens.

Hello Again, Whenever people talk great movies, they're usually speaking of about 10-15 films that just about everyone's seen. There are many great movies that just missed by a smidgen of being considered masterpieces, for whatever reasons. They are great in their own right, and don't deserve to be forgotten. If you haven't seen any of the listed films, you a
