A-Train is in the HOUSE!
 

Hey people, I am now a member after being banned for the umpteenth time at Cougarboard, the last one being a month long ban. I don't post as much as I used to but I am tired of the nazi mentality of the moderators over there. This last ban came due to someone sending me a nasty boardmail so I responded in kind. You know, talking about that person's mother, etc... well they passed it on to the board moderators and they banned me for a month even though this spat I had was done via privately.

Anyway, I look forward to talking trash with all of you who I know and hope the Cougars beat the Cowboys like red headed step child that Karsten Sween is.

Another A's fan is always welcome on cougarguard.

I forgot to introduce myself... I currently live in Minnesota and have done so for 7 years after growing up in the Bay Area. After the Cougars, my love is Oakland A's baseball. I currently work for an e-commerce company here in Minneapolis and am married with 4 kids.

Not having the MTN living in Minnesota has been death by water boarding. There is nothing worse than listening to BYU football on the radio... OK, listening to Frank Dolce doing Ute games is worse but both are pretty tough to listen to.

where at in the bay area did you grow up?

This is the Zion's Bank post of the day. Yo quiero Taco Bell.

Grew up in John Muir's backyard of Martinez, CA. Went to College Park Highschool, which has to be the anti DeLaSalle of Highschool football. The year after I graduated College Park was rated the worst High School team in America.

After BYU moved back to Martinez but decided on having worldly possessions... you know the deal, big house, fake tatas for the wife, and a nice ride without having to commute 2 hours a day.

I lived right across the bridge in Benicia, College Park was in our league the good old MBAL (Mountain Bay Athletic League). I lived there until my sophomore year of highschool then we moved to Utah. But you were long gone by then. I graduated in 1999. I remember playing College park we played at DVC on the turf. That was always fun, I think Big Piney is a Martinez guy.

My ex-wife was born in Martinez.

Awesome post, Steel.

My only take on Martinez is that I pulled off looking for gas and could not find a freaking gas station in a town of refineries.

All I can say A-Train is welcome and I love the avatar. I do wonder, however, if many know the meaning of a "Dirty Sanchez".
