Small space for 5 bedrooms... wow. Must be tiny bedrooms.


I don't know why people care about Reggie Bush or OJ Mayo at all. These are the kids who got caught. There are tons of kids getting kickbacks right now as we speak. Just the flashy LA lifestyle gets the USC kids caught.

You are correct.  I was just trying to be funny, but scandihoovian had a much better line.  +k for both of you.

Unheard of!....$239,000 for a 5 bedroom house - Southern California - adjacent!
Big problem I see is 13426 Brad St, Moreno Valley does not have Saboba Casina listed as a point of interest nearby.

Klop....aren't they 10-1 in the playoffs?  Pretty impressive .

O.B.
It would be a hell of a story if it said that the Pomona Sagehen swallowed the Trojans. 

Here's an article from the San Bernardino Sun about Pomona and USC playing the first varisty football game in the Coliseum in 1923:

Sagehens Served In Bowl

"The Fighting Sagehen of Pomona College is to be served up to the Trojan of the University of Southern California in the big bowl of the Coliseum at Exposition Park this afternoon."

A 1923 article that might have been headlined, "Allegories Gone Wild," advanced what would become a historic football game.

The outcome wasn't all that important or unexpected - USC beat Pomona by a 23-7 score - but it was the venue that was the real story.

The colleges played the very first varsity football game in Memorial Coliseum, the future home of two Olympic Games, hundreds of college and pro football games, the first Super Bowl, track meets, soccer games, motocross and four years as one of the oddest major league baseball stadiums ever.

But it all began Oct. 6, 1923, as Pomona played the 19th of what was to be a 21-game series of games with the Trojans.

And this was when Pomona's football prowess was a bit better than today and just before USC really hit the limelight as a national power.

In fact, there were three years in a row (1899-1901) during their games that Pomona not only beat USC but the Trojans didn't score a point.

During one six-game stretch, Pomona only lost once to USC - admittedly the other five games ended in ties.
...

"It was football served 'a la king' in the biggest stadium in the world and with all the comforts and conveniences imaginable," reported Los Angeles Times' writer Bill Henry.

For the Sagehens, the honor of being the first to lose a varsity game in the Coliseum was pretty much lost on them.

They were really never in the game as the "Trojans swallowed the Pomona Sagehen yesterday, but found the gravel-fed bird from Claremont entirely too tough for easy digestion," waxed Henry.
...

They lost the next year, 14-0, and then were clobbered, 80-0, in 1925 by the team coached by the legendary Howard Jones.

By 1926, Pomona was forsaken forever by USC, which chose instead to start up a rivalry with a school out in Indiana by the name of Notre Dame.
...

"Trojans swallowed the Pomona Sagehen yesterday, but found the gravel-fed bird from Claremont entirely too tough for easy digestion."

Not if it's prepared properly...

ECS, that WAS discussing football - an SCIAC game, no less!

[EastCoastStag]

Prior to editing, there was a comment intended to evoke a pun or two.
Just thought I would keep the perverted puns out of the room...

In Flander's Field
by John McCrae
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow,
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky,
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead.
Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved and now we lie,
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you, from failing hands, we throw,
The torch, be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us, who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow,
In Flanders Fields.

Excellent sarcasm!

Speaking of being asleep at the wheel, how is George W. Bush?

OxyBob

Asleep at the wheel? No, he's up and at 'em with his eye on the ball. Especially on the issue of the so called 'global warmings' that are happening.

Actually, Obama is still a Muslim as defined by the tenets of Islamic law, and now either deceiving us or apostate to the Islamic faith. 

Associated Press article about Barack Obama:

Old friends recall Obama's years in LA, NY
...

"Obama in the eyes of some right wingers is basically Muslim until proved innocent," says Margot Mifflin, a friend from Occidental who is now a journalism professor at New York's Lehman College. "It's partly the Muslim factor by association and partly the fear of something being twisted."

The young man Mifflin remembers was "an unpretentious, down to earth, solidly middle-class guy who seemed somewhat more sophisticated than the average college student. He was slightly reserved and deliberate in a way that I sometimes thought betrayed an uncertainty."
...

Apostasy to Islam, specifically in Obama's case joining Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, is punishable by death.

Also, Islam is an exclusive faith as mentioned in this NY Times article, entitled President Apostate?.

As the son of the Muslim father, Senator Obama was born a Muslim under Muslim law as it is universally understood. It makes no difference that, as Senator Obama has written, his father said he renounced his religion. Likewise, under Muslim law based on the Koran his mother's Christian background is irrelevant.
