New Snoop

I probably won't get a job for about another week and a half. Obama needs as much spirit as I can donate to him. March 11th will most likely be the date and it coincides with Snoop's new ablum. Even though I say this every time, this album is his best. There is no question. He has finally fulfilled his potential. Watch! He has evolved into a pure artist finally and has now let it flow.

Bet on Microsoft

If I had one thing to say about the current state of business I would say this:
Microsoft is about to do something real big. They are fully focused and hungry.
I been interviewing with quite a few different types of companies, but none like Microsoft. Most big companies don't know their big and aren't aware of the problems in such a state. MS has moved beyond that stage and knows what they are. It took them some time to snap out of it, but they are back. The key of it all is this. Yahoo lost it's engineering power. Oracle lost their engineering power. Google hasn't. That is where the battle front really is, with the technology and not with the businessmen. MS has realized this finally. Visa is set to IPO. I would bet on them also. If you bought Mastercard stock when they IPO'd two years you would have gotten a 5 fold return.

Cold and Thunderous



In times like these, I must go back to base formation. I must go back to the roots and core of the camp to remember what got me here. It took a lot of effort to get to this position (good or bad). When you swim with the sharks you get bit, but the Great Black Shark rallies after getting bit at attacks with an unforeseen amount of fury and power. There's another new element to the camp

All I can say about Angel Lola Luv is Cold and Thunderous!

What I'm feeling right now



This is what Obama represents. This is what his war cry should be about. This is the change he is referring to.

I can see that

That was very wise of Mr. Brown to mention that. He is correct in many dimensions.

The number 1 skill required for an AD is fund raising. This is why the old football coach in big football programs can leave coaching and go into the AD job. All of the players will donate money too their old coach.

The other aspects are business and sports, which are obvious skills of yours.

The most important aspect is that you will be motivated and thus you can overcome your hatred the bureaucracies because there will be a lot.

D Brown says I need to be an AD

I just took on another challenge

sent this out this morning- didn't list you as one of the original 9 since you have other issues to tend to.

let me know what you think:



Gentlemen,

Hope all is well. Not sure if all of you have heard but Poly is playing at Wisconsin Nov 22nd. That is after at san diego state and Montana at home to open the season.

It looks like the program is going places we only could have dreamed about- quite a step up from 14 hour bus rides to Humboldt- good times

Any way- I talked to Payam yesterday. He mentioned that the alumni group- the guys putting together the spring game BBQ and golf- said that there is not much representation from the teams of the 90’s. which may make sense, since I know personally I haven’t done anything for the program other then go to the san diego state game 2 years back.

So here is what I am thinking- let me know if you all are in or not. I think I picked a decent mix of guys that can not only hit up the right people but also has a different connection to various groups of ex players.

I set a goal- I think it is reasonable but I could be way off. I haven’t talked to anyone else other then Payam at Poly. I’m thinking we get a group of 200 guys that will be willing to donate a minimum of $250 ANNUALLY. This would be a solid base that we can grow year over year. This would be money going directly to the Football program- I need to confirm that but I believe so- or we wouldn’t be that incented to do it.

I have a concept of how we can do this as well- we are going to introduce a pyramid scheme to fund raising-HA

I have listed out 9 of us- if each of you choose to take on this challenge here is a way we can do it

Each of you commit to recruit 5 others that will bring in the minimum $250.

Then we each work with those 45 people to make sure they go out and recruit at least 3 others willing to commit the $250 minimum.

If my math skills are correct we would be pretty close to having our 200 member base. The 50k would follow from there. I am sure some will be willing to pony up more then 250.

To recap- each of you pay at least 250 and find 5 others that will pay minimum of 250 and recruit at least 3 others.

You all follow that?

Call if you have any questions.

What do you guys think? How sweet would it be to present Payam- forget Ellerson of whoever the AD is- with a 50k check in April? And tell him we got another 50k minimum next year.

Respond back to the group with any suggestions-

Let me know if you are in or not-

I’m putting up the first 1k- 49k more to go

We get to 50k we will invite everyone to san diego state game for tailgate and party

Lets do this

By the way- we are going to Wisconsin- anyone else have interest?

That's good for the program. It should propel them right into the playoffs.
Maybe I'll have a job bye then!
