Happy Birthday Coach Howland

by Nestor on May 28, 2007 9:44 AM PDT in Basketball

50 years ago today the second greatest coach in the history of UCLA basketball was born in Lebanon, Oregon.

We have had the privilege to be led by one of the best coaches in America for last four years. However, its clips like this that makes me believe he was born to be a Bruin and he has always been with us:

We love you Coach Howland.

Don't even think about leaving us. We don't care if you cannot remember people's birthdays.

We just want you to keep doing this:

He's Turning 50

I'm donating $50 to the Pauley Restoration Fund for Coach Howland's birthday. I always like to try and give people what they want for their birthday.

Hmmmm.....

Where did Dan Guerrero hide the donation box? It's not easy to find on the UCLA Athletics Site.

You Know

there are certain people that are almst Trojans here. They know who they are. But, Howland is just a God amongst us Bruins. He knows how to control the history of UCLA. You know...the best history in the hole USA?!?!??!?!?!??!

UCLA is the best!!! Too bad some UCLA guys want to act like Trojans 71 daysn ago! They know whats up. Too bad most Bruins can't act like noble people. They act like shitty 71 Trojans.

Dude!!!

I'm so wasted!!! Beer is sooooo good. But you get the point! Some Bruins are just too much like Trojans. They know who they are.

Yep

I'm so proud to be a Bruin. Too bad some guys like to be jerks and flaunt their history. UCLA is to great, we don't need to flaunt anything!

God Bless Jackie Robinson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You just had an argument with yourself and lost. Nice job.

One observation, for what it's worth. Beer does not improve your writing skills.

Really?

I thought beer improves everybody's skills (read the sarcasm)?

Please act more like John Wooden because I'm tired of listening to a guy that acts like OJ.

You know who that is, right?

You sound a little like him. A Trojan that adds nothing to the conversation. Please come back when you don't sound like a Trojan. I don't need to listen to some guy that shares the same morals as a Trojan.

Trade in your UCLA degree for a USC degree. We're all ashamed. Come back when you do so.

I find it ironic

that the more you drink and the more you carry on your little vendetta against Fox, the more you come off sounding like a trOJan.

Quite frankly, I find your crybaby act to be rather shameful and old. Get your life together, your posting tonight has disgraced us all.

One more observation, for what it's worth

Your writing style sounds like you're closer to Junior High School than to college or post college. Either way, my suggestion would be to polish your writing skills. You don't sound like a grown-up to me, and it has been my experience that the rants of teenagers are not taken particularly seriously.
