Will Fullerton start their Ace?

[Rosco]

It's that time of year when everybody in Titanland speculates on how best to win the Regional. We are a pretty strong program and even though this is Head Coach Vanderhook's 1st year back in Fullerton (he was passed over previously and went to UCLA) we love to 2nd guess any pitching changes from our normal weekend series rotation.

You should see our Friday arm Dylan Floro (ERA 2.52) unless they decide to keep him for Oregon as the Ducks can more easily hold off using their ace. Bottom line is win the first two and the Road to Omaha is in your grasp.

So what else is there to do in Indiana other than watch the corn grow during the summer? Some guy with a dog just won your big race in May. I guess Tony could win one in August, but mostly it's just thunderstorms and county fairs.

Even Jim Nabors stayed in Hawaii this year,

P.S. Here is our team's thoughts on the Regional:

Are you guys ready to rumble online???

So why do they have fences around the ball fields in Indiana?
I hear it keeps the cheerleaders from grazing after the games.

I'm trying to start some good natured harassing for a rivalry.
Have you no jokes about Californians or are we not worthy?

Inquiring fans need to know,

Well it depends...
What's the only thing that grows in Oakland?
The Crime Rate
What's the only thing that grows in Compton?
O wait the same thing
What's the only thing that grows in Well, any california town?
You get it.

Did you hear about the California girl who resolved to only have three children?
She heard 1 out of every four kids born is chinese.

Did you hear the Fullerton Grad that went to Disneyland?
They were driving and saw a sign that says, "Disneyland Left" so they turned around and went home.

When the Earth turns on it's axis, all of the nuts roll into Fullerton (actually, Los Angeles...but close enough!).

Welcome to Fullerton where the women are ladies and the men are too

Okay maybe I'd be better off bagging on Oregon as they are the #1 seed.

I mean have you seen what the adults do for fun in Oregon:

Too bad there are no hills in Indiana or you could compete.

Go Titans!!

You clearly have never been to Southern Indiana....

 

[Rosco]

You mean like French Lick where the tourist train runs slowly up & down the same track and the trip highlight is Larry Bird's childhood home. Never been there or I don't remember much other than slow tractors. The hotel with the big dome was cool but it had no hoops or bleachers. There is also also a Sherman Tank parked at the Jackson County Courthouse and a game of checkers in the waiting room that I could have Googled up.

Okay I knew there were some hills but nothing long enough or steep enough to get Tony Stewart to sponsor a car.

That's my story and... Go Titans!!!

I like the last one...

I'm also now waiting for the Syc Pride "Chinese Coalition" to fire back at ya...recall the outcry re: Boise, ID?

Big "D" to the rescue...

I'm afraid to Google California jokes - might burn up my hard drive!

Here's a couple good "jokes" re: Fullerton...and they're TRUE:

"In 1914 the first bank burglar alarm was installed at the Farmers and Merchants National Bank (now Landmark Plaza). The timing could not have been better: According to the News Tribune, a break-in was attempted the night after the alarm was installed, and the burglars reportedly were frightened off by the sound of the alarm."
- now that's a legacy of BRAVERY!

"Finding an appropriate place to house the city’s criminal element was another challenge facing Fullerton’s early lawmen. The first jail was a wooden building, 14 feet by 12 feet, which was the butt of many jokes. One cold January night in 1916, Marshal French locked eight hooligans in the jail. Shivering from the cold, the men knocked some planks off the side of the building, slipped out, stole a sack of coal from a nearby house and brought it back to the jail to build a warm fire."
- Cal- Fullerton's 1st Alumni class...

I support the separation of California into North and South as Fullerton is in Orange County (42 hours from Chicago by train) and the O.C. is much more conservative than the Bay area. We also have the Central Valley (our best farmland) but the nuts by the Bay want to take all the water from the farmers to save some smelt. Pretty soon Modesto will be a ghost town. Thank goodness they have easy access to Yosemite.

Go ahead and Google Fullerton to see all the videos of our train station... and our baseball team winning in Omaha!

Fullerton where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking*, and all the children are above average.
