UCLA Fires Football Coach Bob Toledo... oh well. I like Coach Toledo because I still remember all the good times we went through in football when I was in college - we won 20 straight games and was on the road to the national championship in football (we've never won it before in football) until one stupid call by a referee in the Miami game (it wasn't a fumble! his knee was down!), we won 8 straight against U$C and the team was fun to watch. I feel bad for UCLA coaches in general - you lose a game and the alumni is calling for your head. Coach Lavin has it the toughest - no one can compare to John Wooden - 11 championships in 12 years, etc... personally, I like Coach Lavin - all the girls at UCLA like him because he's cute but he's also the nicest person and the greatest recruiter. I talked to him once after a game and he asked which high school I went to, I said, "Villa Park" and he knew the players that came out of my little high school - Eric Chenowith, Isaiah Cavaco, etc... it took him a second to remember the coach's name but it impressed me because I forgot his name and I went to that high school for 4 years.

This was a good weekend overall, except for us losing to Washington State in football... unless you look on the bright side and realize our loss prevented U$C from making the Rose Bowl... UCLA basketball won, Lakers won (miracle comeback last Friday - we were down by 27 at the end of the third quarter and won by 2, then we beat Utah - hate the Jazz), Raiders kicked ass and are now in first place in the division...


Its funny the changes you make in your life when you live with someone. And the things you learn about a person... Dante and I have been together on/off since July 4, 2001 and I thought I knew him well because we have spent a lot of time together this past year (after I moved out of the house and into my apartment) but living together makes things a lot different. Since he moved in and made himself comfortable, he's become more of a slob and I have become more of a neat freak. I am always picking up clothes off the floor and throwing trash away, straightening up the messes on my desk. I need to buy a napkin holder for my desk because we eat in my room and when he doesn't see napkins lying around, he'll use the carpet! :)
