Please, pick a name and STICK TO IT!!!
Here is a list of bloggers who have guts and play by the rules:
The Stang Fan, Goldenarm, Dad of 3, Viking Supporter, Philly B., Hal Lamaster, burbanksports, the real hsfbfan, Joe Amat, Stang03, Huckster!!!!, Amat73, BigA, Observantcat, Reyes, MuddyWaters, !stang!, sfhs92, confused cat, Zeke Prado, Viking Fan, sstress AND last but not least, Angel Bec...
I apologize if I missed a regular.
But the point is that the bloggers above had the guts to pick a name and are sticking to it. We all know what school they associate with.
It's fun when we can all make fun of Huckster.
It's cool when we can address astute, respectful and informative comments from Goldenarm, Dad of 3 and The Stang Fan among others.
I've been seeing way too many anonymous names on the blog. Which is OK. Thanks for the hits and thanks for reading. But wouldn't you all agree it'd be awesome if we could build our own cyber community?
I remember at The Register the posters had that, and they even met once a year at a local Dave and Busters. I thought that was pretty cool.
The reason why the Tribune blog gets so many hits, in part, is because the bloggers have made a name for themselves.
Since I've been here I've posted about 134 entries with 2,613 comments, and I know it hasn't been ALL from the guys listed above.
Some bloggers have made a name for themselves and it can get better but it's up to you guys to get it going.
And it starts with picking and sticking to a name.

Amazing freakin blog here. I almost cried while reading it!
You make blogging look like a walk in the park! I've been trying to blog daily but I just cant find writing material.. you're an inspiration to me and i'm sure many others!
Realmente interesante el artÃculo. Les agradezco por postearlo. Nuevamente muchas gracias!
I love the way you write and also the theme on your blog. Did you code this yourself or was it done by a professional? I'm very very impressed.
Dreamin. I love blogging. You all express your feelings the right way, because they are your feeling, focus on your blog it is great.
Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the nfl, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.
Nervo
thanks - appreciate the good word
my bad on the double post
Goldenarm,
I was applauding your insight. It is nice to hear somebody's opinion of TC that won't simply be a crock of "rah rah" bullshit (see TCfan and TCPrince and others). Most of my football intellect comes from playing under Mooney and Backus, and it is was always nice to hear your thoughts and compliments after games.

It's about time! I've been away, so I'm catching up on some of these things.
Nervo,
I am not sure if you are complimenting my "spew" or ragging on it. However, your insights added here seem accurate most of the time, it seems you know fball.
My apologies for driving you insane, but being somewhat anon has worked for me. I may decide to change that one day, but have no reason to now.. If you feel my comments have been deterimental in any way to TC let it fly. I'll listen.
While I don't post often, I just thought that I'd let you guys know how much I come here. Being away from Socal would have made it hard for me to keep highlighted on all of this stuff had it not been for all you guys out there who throw your input and insight up on this blog. I have been following for 3 years now and it has been great hearing what everyone thinks of the West SGV football scene. My only question is this, Goldenarm, do you have any association with TCHS and would somebody who played at TC recently know who you are? It has been driving me nuts trying to figure out who you are all this time because I would love to know who it is behind the alias who spews the TC news and insight, weekly.
I think you have to have a mental illness to not pick up your sarcasm viking fan....so yes, yes I did.
doggalum represents when there's something to say, always watchful......
Ha, ha very funny. (did you pick up on my sarcasm?)
lol at viking fan's comment...too many "stang fans" in my opinion

The Stang Fan,
Thanks for the kind words.
Excellent point Viking Fan!
And can I add...please pick a name of your own! There have been a couple times someone has posted under my name.
Yo, good looking Mig!!!
Shout out to all the PSN Bloggers.
cause i got pride..especially for the blue and gold..GO BRUINS!
...
Great post!
MIguel,
Great reminder to pick a name. On the East Side it really made for some more meaningful debates, some friendly (but sometimes not so friendly) smack, and much less foolishness to sift through. THat created a bit more interest - good and bad.
So good luck to everybody down the home stretch. Looking forward to seeing Miggy sporting some Blue and Gold on Saturday!
And seeing the cartoon at the top reminds me of something I tell the Trib bloggers all the time:
"It's better to remain silent and let bloggers think you're a fool - than to post and remove all doubt!
I like that Miguel....818 Sports. I'll have to use that. Then I can jump on the Crespi or Notre Dame bandwagon depending on who wins Friday night.
Hey- CV is 818. Go Falcons!
OK - much better....
TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!
I've had my fair share of run-ins with various anons and I mix them up all the time...can you blame me? Look, in reality, EVERYONE on here is an anon except for TRULY ballsy folks like the Huckster, Tom S., P. FInchamp, and Zeke Prado (sounds like a real name) who have identified who they really are. So to all the anons, just pick a name and rep for your school, its not like anyone's going to discover your true identity.
Btw, just for fun........
Top 5 bloggers:
1. NY- informative is an understatement
2. Goldenarm- classy is an understatement
3. Huckster- controversial is an understatement
4. Dad of 3- honesty is an understatement
5. Hal Lamaster- gentlemen is an understatement
PS- if I left you off it's only because this post would've been miles long. Hats off to ALL the bloggers Miguel mentioned above and to all the others. Keep up the good work, in this new century this site has truly become a new community.
LET'S GO PSN BLOGGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol.....
No, burbanksports. You're forever relegated to 818 sports.
Can I change my name to Stang Fan Sometimes or Huckster II?
Miguel Melendez,
REYES will be true!!!
My word are not perfect,but they are true!!!
The chicks dig it. I dig it. And yes, the chicks dig it. You know, sportswriters have a reputation of being slobs. I'm shattering that stigma with my plentiful options of suits and my slick wheels.
But I hear you, this blog can be addicting. I'm always checking it from my Palm when I'm home watching TV. I'm going out w/ this girl tonight but I'll be on top of the blog either way.
I've been here, what, three months? I'm just getting started. Wait until basketball, soccer and baseball rolls around. I'm gonna tear the roof off this cage.
Miggy,
I am honored that you put my name up there. I am kind of an addict now with this preps blog stuff. I am currently seeking help for me problem though. LoL But, on the real, I really enjoy the time and effort you put into these blogs. I can't imagine life w/o the PSN blog. It's part of my daily routine. Someday, I'd like to chat with you, man. Thanks.
By the way, you are the sharpest reporter out there with your sports coat! Chicks dig it.
(ahem...) you are there!!
I am hurt that you didn't mention my name in such an illustrious list ... deep sigh ...
Pick a name!!
Anonymous and proud! Viva La Resistance!

I choose this name it's on everything on all internet user names...since my freshman year in high school. ohhh yeah but what ever happened to JUSTAFAN? did he change his/her name or somehing?
