Wanted to publicly thank Alex and Peter Prescott for organizing and hosting the reception with Coach Dykes last night. Those of us down here really appreciated having our own event behind the Orange Curtain. Got to chat with the lovely Mrs. WIAF (wearing a Cal hat) and I think there was a Moraga sighting, missed hearing his knowledgeable takes on the recruits. Coach was thoughtful and engaging in answering questions from the group, I came away very impressed.

Coach Dykes was real happy and he expects to visit LA and the OC regularly. Way to represent SoCal!

wifeisafurd - thanks for the lengthy notes on the speeches. I couldn't make it due to two new problems - a tonsilectomy for the daughter (age 14) and gout for me.
I am becoming more of a Sonny Dykes fan the more I see of him. Still somewhat of a skeptic on whether he can turn things around, but I am more willing to give him a number of years to do so. I wonder if he will have a session at the California Club in June as the Southern Seas have had in years past. Does anyone know?

+1

great job!
