I am cold, dense, and just plain cold today.
You're in the wrong state, bro. Actually we've had record lows in Southern California as well. It's in the 30's every night here - highs in the 50's...And it snowed in Malibu!!!
Earthquakes, mudslides, forest fires and now SNOW. Why would anybody live in CA?
I like the eye candy part; is funny. Mind you, I went to CA in late 90s kicking and screaming the whole way...my wife's parents lived there, and it was either remain in God's Country...Texas...or stay married. I chose the latter, and I am glad I did.
Climate is generally outstanding, the culture/s rich and robust, the terrain absolutely wonderful, the cities (San Diego, LA, & San Fran) thoroughly exciting, the history as colorful and varied as Texas, the business climate a lot better than non-Californians like to make it, and since I lived in South Orange County, every second car was a Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, or Range Rover. Just like Camp Wonderland (aka SMU).
To be honest, I also found a church out there that I was comfortable with...Saddleback Church. I am Episcopalian...the frozen chosen so the saying goes...but I like a little life in worship service. Although much bigger than I prefer, I felt comfortable there.
But I digress. I think SoCal, particularly OC, is fertile ground for recruits. There are a number of players who are strong candidates who want to move away to play ball, but the Pac10 or the WAC or Mountain West picks these kids up. I don't think we should even try playing head to head vs. Pac10, but the other conferences' choices should be a legitimate place for us to look to pilfer recruits. I think SMU presents every bit as great a place for someone who would entertain the smurf-turf.
But that's just me.
As for now, looks like we have our fill. I would like to know who the JUCO LB is that we supposedly have committed.
