Thanks for your time:
please take the time to read my post before making a stupid response. obviously you are not a parent of Tartan football player. "We can't all be wrong" was referring to parents of Tartans. JEEEZZZ LOUISE! I love your supporters Mike! Run and hide before they make you their supreme leader!!

Thanks For Your Time,
Contrary to your post, I think the Glendora people are mostly tolerant to the fact that many people crap on their community for mainly jealous reasons.
I have read time and time again comparable situations with other faithful (i.e. Damien parents getting totaly bent out of shape when one of their own "Damien Dad (frank)" had a few not so pleasant things to say about his team or how about Amat faithful when bleedsblungold had some suggestions for his team). You see it really is very common for supporters of a particular school to react when their program is questioned by one of their own. Kinda similar to a praying mantis or blackwindow spider eating their mate for dinner after sex.
Also, I can understand why Mike the Clone has plenty of support from Amat and Covina blogers but has absolutley ZERO support from any Tartan football parent currently with a child on the team. Can we all be wrong about Mike?
Thank you AnyMouse and Joe Amat for standing up for Mike the Clone. He really is a nice guy, just not well liked by ANY of his fellow Tartan faithful. At least somebody loves him! (until he starts crapping on your school)

That is correct Pladdy, castor oil and a few swats to the the bumm and off to their rooms, that would take care of these brats wouldn't you say Govener. It's rather tiresome wouldn't you say ole boy? Yourself and Mr.Clone although as different as you may be are truly passionate on one thing and that is Tartan.

We talk sports but when the Glendora people don't like what they read they get all bent out of shape and start literally preaching how all high and mighty they think they are. What a spoiled bunch you Glendora people are. Are you all still being spoon fed also? Go find someone to change your dirty diapers because with all the crying your doing it sure seems like they need to be changed.

I like Plaid Lad's suggestion...only talk sports...no smacking each other and then LEAVE YOU NAME...YOUR REAL NAME...THAT WILL CLEAN THINGS UP REAL FAST...how abou that Aram?
Posted by: JOHN DOE | July 7, 2007 2:15 PM
This is too funny! Mike agrees with one thing I said and it looks like that was the last straw for all these GHS fans....they turned on him faster than a rabbit gets f@cked!
Don't think I'm not ROFLMAO! :)

WITH ALL THIS ATTENTION ON MIKE THE CLONE AND ANYMOUSE WHY DOESN'T THE TRIBUNE JUST CREATE A SPECIAL WEB-SITE OR SMACK-DOWN-ROOM FOR THOSE THAT WANT TO BANTOR BACK AND FORTH OVER THIS NONSENSE.

I apologize for you getting tied in with me. You and Joe Amat get it!
You summed it up in a nutshell....
"Do you live in a fairy tale world with pink cottages and smurfs dancing through your garden"
Basically they do and wait it gets better........
"Please just leave us generational Pride of Foothills alone!"
EEEERRRRRR What? priceless....
Again sorry for the heat your taking but as I can see you can hold your own.

Posted by: HaHa | July 6, 2007 6:40 PM
I have been on my boat all day slaying the Halibut, just got home and it seems I have been missed...Lmao...Like someone mentioned, I have "No Life"...Looks like this thread hasnt slowed down at all...Wow...
Joe Amat, good to see you... I read your post and need to forewarn you that there are some people on here that have a serious bone to pick with Mr "Clone" I apparently have joined the "Tartan Lynch List" for the following comments...
"I have to honestly ask a question...
Why does it seem that there are so many "Mike the Clone" antagonist on the blog?
I read it daily and never ever have seen the Clone make any comments that I consider out of line towards anybody or any football program, he states his opinion tactfully and seems like a decent guy...
Am I missing something? Please tell me what that may be for I see endless banter towards the Clone and it is never backed up with the exact reason for that sort of hostility...
Let me also add this, I have never personally met "Mike" nor am I "Mike" using another screen name. I want to clarify that because I am certain that would be the assumption of some of the people on here, so rest assured that is not the case...
"Mike" may be a colorful character of a sort and chafe some of you with his opinion but I have to say from where I stand there appears to be a deeper underlying rationality behind this obviously pointed and unjustified hatred...
AnyMouse..."
and then in response to my initial "Clone" defense I wrote the following...
"Anonymous at July 5, 2007 03:17 PM,
You are just validating my point, what Exactly has "Mike" done or said to irritate the entire community that you all of a sudden have became a spokesperson for?
Did he say something along the lines of GHS football wont win CIF this year or that he wasnt certain as to the strength of certain positions over at GHS? Am I close? Seriously...
I guess if you have an opinion of a program that doesnt take it all the way to the CIF championship its not worthy and hence you dont support that program, WHAT???
Do you live in a fairy tale world with pink cottages and smurfs dancing through your garden, how can you be taken even partially close to being serious?
Thats nuts...GHS will have a great season I am sure but lets be realistic....DII is tough...
I am from CHS and I am faithful to that program but if I were to tell you that they will go undefeated and win CIF just so "Little Johnny" can walk around all day posturing like his S#@T doesnt stink I should be placed straight into the looney bin... Because they wont, not even close...See, an honest opinion...Wow, how refreshing...
First its Henley and now its the "Clone", who is lined up to be your next local target of venom and despise? You have to have one ready, dont you? Of course the answer is yes, because your opinion is the only one that matters, forget free speech, forget respecting others opinions even if you disagree...I mean why be rational?
Without a target on someone elses back your life wouldnt be fulfilling, I get that impression...Thats sick...
AnyMouse...(Entitled to his opinion)...Out"
The "Button Wearers" as they seem to be called went nuclear on me, so again just be forewarned...
I for the most part was trying to convey an opinion similar to yours, Mike seems alright to me and what did he do to upset the Glendora folks? I have never seen anything out of line, just Mikes unabashed opinion....We all have that at times, dont we?
Mr Williams,
First of all please sir take no offense from my question as I sincerely mean it with all due respect, is the issue with Mike within the Glendora community mainly about his usage of this blog and his lack of fear to express his opinion to the entire SGV?
I get that impression from your post and I tend to believe that Glendorsa would rather keep any deficiencies behind closed doors so to speak, am I incorrect about this?
Every program has room for improvement, be that program in Glendora, Covina or anywhere else for God sakes. I am a Covina guy and luv the school dearly but at the same time I can be a major critic of many institutions at Covina, why? Because there are issues and to hide them doesnt help correct them. As far as my comments towards Covina go on the blog I use this as a sounding board, I at times have been told I am crazy (I have backed off and apologized if the opinions had merit) and I have been backed anonymously by others (Helps me see if I have my facts straight). Sometimes its only one response back towards me, I hit a chord with someone and others were silent (To be honest sometimes silence tells me more than words)...
AnyMouse, aka, "AnyRat", "Not Mike the Clone", "Minimouse", "Blog Sexist" (My wife luvs that one), "In a Mouse trap", "On the Top Ten (Maybe 5 or better?) Most Wanted List North Of Arrow Hwy" Etc, Etc, Etc...
Oh and by the way I need to point out one thing to all of my recent detractors...I never called anyone names like the monikers you have given to me...I just said the hatred towards Mike is "Sick", I still stand by that...
AnyMouse...

Aram,
Thanks for recognizing, realizing, and most importantly respecting that I am a woman! I do not fault you for what you say and do but as for you Mike the Clone or should I say "The Boss" why do you refuse to be responsible for your actions. Admit that you have made some mistakes, apologize for your actions, and then list your house For Sale. Your the boss and better make enough money that you can afford to live somewhere else further down the 210 freeway like the city of La Canada Flintridge. Please just leave us generational Pride of Foothills alone!
P.S. Aram I guess I am ok with you and only you calling me Monica but what about your girlfriend is she ok with you calling me that?
P.S.S. Mr. Williams you have always been an upstanding man and we are proud of you too. Thank you for representing what is the very best in Glendora not the worst like you Mike! Maybe we can petition for Mike the Clone to be banned from OUR program!
Posted by: Dr. Phil(lis) | July 6, 2007 4:52 PM
Mr Williams,
It is tremendous that you are "proud of the boys and support the program". From what I've read, I think that "The Clone" is proud as well. I'd bet he supports the program too. You can be proud of someones effort yet still offer some truthful and specific critique that is intended to educate, motivate and improve the recipient. I don't remember reading anything "malicious" from him and he's even defended GHS kids several times.
When someone blindly supports the boys to the point of myopia that is what is counterproductive. Running around as a "button wearer", as Mike calls them saying, that everything is great and we will be OK because, "Mighty are the Boys that wear the Red and Black" and "Tartan Pride" will overcome all obstacles, leads you right down the path to mediocrity. I (we) know that all too well. No one wants friends like that and we certainly don't want coaches and administrators like that. And I'm pretty certain that you would not want business associates like that.
I'd also wager that nothing that Mike has ever said on this blog is something that he wouldn't say to that player (or coaches) face) That's the kind of guy he sounds like.
Like him or not.

Words are real interesting. They can be twisted to work for you or against you. Mike hopes you bloggers all have a short memory.

Give it up Ed. Mike has no conscience. His ego is completely out of comtrol. Yeah he writes the checks and surrounds himself with lackeys that say, "Gee Mike you are awesome! Big guy you!"
Ed Williams you should be commended for putting your name on the line. Mike the Clone apparently likes to tell tall tales and give everyone a hard time but never signs his name to any comments. How's that for smug accountability.
Nice comeback Mike. Now go to sleep.

Ed,
I am the Boss and I write the checks just like I'm doing now and I have thirty six of them to sign this week.
What you misconstrue as ego is success and attitude, and with all due respect don't speak on behalf of all the kids because you don't.This I know of first hand.
I admire the time and sweat you put into the program I truly do appreciate it. But I have a feeling that sentiment will fall on deaf ears. (oh there I just offended the deaf)
These are young men not boy's and you should start treating them as such.
That's your OPINION that I trash these young men. I respect your opinion although I happen to disagree with you. I ask you to respect mine.
Again thanks for all your time we appreciate it.
Out!

Mike,
I wonder what your boss thinks of you. How successful can you be if you still receive a pay check instead of issuing pay checks?
Us button wearers, are proud of our boys and truly support our program. We work hard in fund raising and volunteer our time. We understand that the program is not perfect and we communicate that within the proper channels. Why do you see a need to broadcast to the blog world the short-commings of the program other then to feed that huge ego of yours? Why do you think so many supporters of the program, including the kids, think so low of you? Ask yourself, am I serious about improving the program that you apparently support or are you more interested in showing the world you are right? Would you speak low of your own son on this blog instead of taking the time to communicate person to person. Then Mike, why the need to trash all your boys you apparently love so much.
This I will never understand. I hope you get your radio show.

And all that success you remind everyone about, ALL THE TIME, is just more fuel for your ego. Maybe you were pretty good but the truth is you are without question the bully who made good only to bully more people. That's too bad.

Mike VP,
I hang with a group of “bagpiper” honks all the time. Some played high school ball, some collegiate ball, some have coached at the high school level. And some are just football hacks. We all have friends still coaching in the high school ranks or involved in football at some level or another.
I get my takes from all these guys as we discuss what goes on so in a sense my opinions come from many sources and analogies. None of these guys are “button wearers” none of them. They have good knowledge of what goes on and off a football field and we are all brutally honest with each other. Basically we all have that competitive arrogance you might say. We don’t accept losing and when we lose we don’t accept it lightly especially when you are not prepared.
Believe me I had my share of Mike the Clones pounding my ears and it comes with the territory. Most of these guys smacking me think I’m calling on Mark to resign and bullshit like that…utter non-sense. I have said this many of times Mark is a great guy and the kids respect him.
With me and my group of friends it’s just a football philosophy plain and simple.
We are all pretty successful in what we do now and we still love the game of football and are happy for the doors the game has opened for us. As you can see it’s the arrogance and the brutal honesty that pisses people off, because they grew up treated as veil, you know soft.
Now how’s that for a Dr, Phil/Phillis or whatever session
Out!

I know that parents read the blog, but coaches and administrators like to say that they don't. Although, I don't believe that for a second. I hear a lot of people say they don't read the blog, but somehow later in the conversation up comes things that were only on the blog. Hmm ...

Glendora Faithful,
The coolaide drinkers (aka Mike the Clone fans) will remain blind to all the pissed off people and groups the clone has insulted. They ask for "when, where and how" and you have provided numerous cases (Jr. All American coaches, 3rd commandmant, Glendora coaches, etc.....) and they keep asking for more. These coolaide drinkers will never be satisfied. They change the wording of posts around (i.e. CIF patch, etc..) to support their rant.
Again, the Glendora Faithful does not support Mike. I'm still looking for ONE of the many Glendora Faithful to speak up and lend support to Mike. Come on now, there must be at least one.
Of course, Mike can always use one of his many alias to again support himself!
Posted by: Anonymous | July 6, 2007 1:00 PM
Mike the Clone,
Have you ever been confronted by the administration, parents, coaches, or kids directly about your blogging?
I am curious if any of them have had anything to say to you because until then I say everything is fair in love and war...
You have been brutally honest sometimes almost what would obviously cause some to be extremely upset.
I am almost certain before you even tell us no one has ever had a conversation about you to your face directly from Glendora.
Until then I say keep talking...

Relax Mikey,
I hear ya! But it's so entertaining when you have people actually come in with some long incoherent dissertations. Those are the ones I enjoy the most. Because those are the ones you know that are just seething at the Clone and think he should be quarantined and locked up in the Glendora jail and insulated from the bubble world they live in. I thrive on that stuff.
Can you actually beleive that somebody thinks I'm a threat to the community, I mean come on how far off your rocker have to got to be to come to that conclusion. I'm just a blogger and these dopes give me to much credit. Same thing as last year.
And their calling me mentally ill.....(laughing)
Just look at the Dr Phil or Phyllis post or whatever they want to be called now; No facts, No figures just some long blah blah blah from someone who is obviously a big daytime TV fan.
That’s their opinion they are entitled to it you don’t see me trying to shut them up…nope not me.
Thanks for the advice

Don't forget Mikes attack on Jr. All American coaches last year. And, oh, AnyMouse, I believe that attack was prior to you comming on the blog, otherwise you most certainly would not have missed it in your research.
Posted by: Hang em high | July 6, 2007 10:14 AM
Plaid Lad...sorry but Eschardise was a WR who graduated last year. Pertusati is the new QB. Bento is the new "catch everything" slot. You feeling okay Plaid Lad? lol
Plaid I know you like to give very positive reviews of all high school players. What did you think about Damien's 2nd and 3rd string Qbs?
That may test your writing skills.
Posted by: William Shakes | July 6, 2007 9:52 AM
Mike the Clone, AnyMouse, and should I include Anonymous too because sometimes your name appears at the bottom as Anonymous but then you sign AnyMouse (Huh?) Intelligent minds want to know, are you that angry and hurt by my words that you cannot think and type clearly? Medication seriously may need to be a consideration for the two of you. Anyways, this is only meant towards you two boys not Anonymous. I like you Anonymous you seem to be a rational, reasonable, and sane human being.
Did you two assume when I wrote my part of the blog that I am a man. You know what occurs when we assume boys. Here let me explain. You make an A$$ out of U and ME. I admit maybe I was too harsh so I am an A$$ too, but I like that the two of you immediately defended yourselves. Let me teach you two another new word. You two are egocentric. Again, let me explain that word to the two of you also. I can hear you two saying can I buy a vowel please? Different game boys, I will give you the definition instead.
e•go•cen•tric
adj.
1. Holding the view that the ego is the center, object, and norm of all experience.
a. Confined in attitude or interest to one's own needs or affairs.
b. Caring only about oneself; selfish.
2. Philosophy
a. Viewed or perceived from one's own mind as a center.
b. Taking one's own self as the starting point in a philosophical system.
YOU are the myopic minds which actually can also be described as narrow-minded, bigoted, prejudiced, and intolerant. Oh, but that’s right Mike the Clone you have already been accused of those verbal attacks on other peoples race, religion and now you two have offended gender. Next time so you do not assume I will sign Dr. Phyllis instead of Dr. Phil!
Moms go on this blog too especially when we hear (yeah Mike parents are talking about what you saying and doing to our community) you are being offensive towards our sons who are the real men not childish little monsters like yourselves. Speaking of which, maybe you two can enlighten us about your childhood because maybe that is when everything started but for now I am finished because I should of realized like so many of us before me I am just wasting my time not yours..! You two will continue and have been participating in this cyberworld probably for honestly too long in my opinion but then again when you have no life people tend to then create one and that is how this vicious cycle began…God’s speed!

Bonita Tourney (Yesterday)
Went to the Bonita yesterday and caught an eye-full of some teams that looked great. Damien's QB (Eschardies) and WR (Beneto and company) looked impressive. Beneto caught everything thrown at him (even some greased lawn-darts). He jumped-on-it like a seasoned veteran. I can't wait to see him pad-up and perform this year. Eschardies arm and foot-work in the box looked steady and confident. He truely displayed his leadership abilities and qualities. Look for this dude to score points.
Glendora paired-off against Garey, Covina, and Bonita. Covina by far gave GHS their best challenge. The Colts looked athletic and well schooled. Their DB's and secondary displayed great approach on the ball/positioning. As I've said before, the Colts may have lost a grip of solids, but they haven't lost their competitive edge.
Bonita had a couple of WR that could lay-it-out (Jack Snow) style. For those of you who have no idea who JS was....think Notre Dame... think the LA Rams...think clutch supine grabs as he went airborne like superman in the end-zone. What an athlete!....(Forgive me I'm showing my age). Anyway, Bonita had a crop of players that impressed with a secondary that appeared ready for battle.
GHS looked solid. Coaches appeared satisfied with their showing. The Kluz angled it where it should-be and hit his mark on several occasions. His box-steps looked more relaxed as he displayed confidence at the helm. WR's (Johnson) and (Stockham) and (Gonzales) looked impressive as they grabbed a few for solid ground. GHS had great timing on D....secondary is just awesome (say no more).....deep-back Edwards had it going-on with speed and athletic aggressiveness. Not much will get by him. Meraz looked focused and determined...and played like it. Great job! Other plaidy's stepped-it-up as outsiders checked-out what all the noise and talk was about in the GHS camp. Everyone in ear shot walked away impressed how well we matured from last year. Keep up the good work!

My suggestion for you is for you to just sit back make notes of all these guys as you would say who run their smack towards you. I have seen these same guys go after you before and although you can pretty much handle yourself you just need to sit back and relax and watch these guys slobber all over themselves. Mikey watch the fools on parade because as one guy suggested if they would go back and read your past post nothing you haven't said hasn't turned out to be true. Let them put the nunbers on the table and let them justfy them, My guess is not to many will because they can't. Just another bump in the road Mike come playoff time they will all crawl back into to their holes because the clone was right again and it pisses them off.
Posted by: Relax Mikey | July 6, 2007 7:38 AM
PLEASE, Mr. Clone, can you give your support to another football program. How about Covina? I'm sure Mr. Mouse would learn to appreciate your faint praise more than the Tartan faithful.
And, AnyMouse (I kind of like the moniker AnyRat..that was funny), you may have stepped into a mouse trap by supporting the Clone...not well liked!

Who the heck is Mike the Clone? Seriously...who is this guy and why do Glendora fans not out this loudmouth? Isn't every Glendora fan just sick and tired of Mike's constant backhanded compliments and analysis. And that stupid bullying "branding" of his..."Button wearers"...that's just what a low down high school bully would say.
Jeez Mike how old are you?

A coaches moment by Plaid-Lad
We had a travel game up north to play ball with a prominent HS team. We bashed the crowd with a victory and then re-entered our bus for that long route home. Complaining that we were all hungry our Coach convinced the bus driver to pull-off the freeway at a Micky-D's. With a pocket full of money our beloved 400+lb coach stepped off the bus and grabbed me to help him carry back the x-large order for 60 hungry dudes. Our coach waddled up to the counter and said in a deep bartone voice, "I'll take 120 burgers and 60 fries and one x-large Diet Coke....cuz I'm watching my weight." The young girl taking our order looked at coach and examined his size and replied, "Will you be eating that entire meal here?" Coach quickly caught the muffled laughter of the customers behind him and attempted to regain some respectability....but it was for not. I, of course doubled over in laugther. With embarrassment on his face Coach collared me and made me swear that I would never tell anyone what had just happened. I kept that promise till now. Later in life we both chuckled over that moment. He was the best....and he was the best part of my life growing-up.

PLAID_LAID,sorry to be the one to call you out,but how many Coaches fit that bill (presence,+400Lbs,weird punishments) .Defensive coordinator,Mechanical Drafting teacher.I remember him picking up our Middle linebacker w/one hand during one halftime .Stern looking guy ,look you right in the eye.I believe the originator of E.O.P..Great man,great teacher.Saw him a couple years later , till then did I realize that he did have a really nice side once you got through the tough love I guess you could call it.The old "OKIE" defense...class of 90

RED Alter...News Flash..."Aram's bloggies get caught in a wild twister..."
Oh my Plaidy's...I went to the beach at noon today and when I returned you Laddy's made a mess out of the house and the furniture.
Targeting and postulating is what bloggies do best. So, please don't get lost in the comments made by me or anyone else that occupies this gray-space.
Pladdy's direct comments were generated for the purpose of addressing a few individuals opinions as to what "I blog." So, no need to twist what I bang-out on this board. The intent was not to pit everyone against each other nor should it be yours.
Okay, so there happens to be certain honkers that know how to run their fingernails across the chalk-board. If that is their perogative then so be it. Do I (or you) have to accept it?....absolutely not! I happen to express myself the only way I know how....with repect coupled with positive influences. After all...is that not what each of you want for our SGV teams. Expressing oneself should never be venomous, disrepectful or threatening. So, let's move-on and talk about the football experience.

Mike the Clone and AnyMouse,
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - Fourth Edition, used by medical doctors to help them diagnose a mental disorder, helped me understand your condition. You two sadly are suffering from Narcissistic Personality Disorder or NPD.
A list of words to describe a Narcissist:
Charming, arrogant, snob, name dropper, shallow, sly, self serving, assertive, socially poised, confident, hero, hero worshiper, bully, actor, verbose, cliquish, controlling, stud, vamp, God's gift to women or men, born leader, brain, charismatic, conniving, convincing, living in fantasy world, pathological liar, vain, superior, arrogant, brash, ego centric, unpleasant, condescending, power-seeking, devious, patronizing, nasty spoiled kid, impeccable manners, offish, driven, innovative, disruptive, jealous, clannish, cliquish, gossipy, best friend, worst enemy, effusive, complimentary, critical, back stabbing, selfish, self centered, self important, spotlight hog, always talks about them self, ignores other people's feelings, know it all, bully, liar, manipulator, always right, never apologizes, never acts grow up, Peter Pan, spoiled, child like, cold, effusive, intelligent, loves to talk about themselves, wants to be center of attention, wants the best office etc, Drama Queen, King Pin, has to keep up with the Jones, has to have latest or biggest or most expensive thing to impress others, romantic, cold hearted, hyper-sexual, not interested in sex, sadistic, unemotional, over reacts, angry, yells, screams, demands immediate recognition and service, preferential treatment, throws tantrums, over bearing, can switch from being super nice to nasty in a second, acts like a queen or princess if a woman, or like a super macho if a man, Fame junkies. They are obsessed with the fantasy of unlimited success, power, brilliance and ideal love and beauty. They only associated with important people. They lack affect, they often look into mirrors...
Based on my diagnosis and our intervention you two need to now go seek immediate professional medical attention by a team of psychologists, psychiatrists, and therapists!
This blog and probably Mankind are depending on you..!

**Any Mouse**,
Don't take this the wrong way. You sound like a sensible person. You have been on the blog, what maybe 1 or perhaps 2 months? Mike the Clone has a long history of pissing off people. He claims his right to speak, but calls everyone a dope, idiot or what ever disgrace he chooses because they don't agree with him. His words are flamatory and hurtful. You want examples? I ask you to spend the time to check the archives before you put your good name into backing people with a pretty infamous track record. Those of us who have been on since the start of this blog Know the truth.
I will stop posting on this topic regarding Mike from this point on and ask other bloggers to do the same. I know Mike craves this publicity. Why feed the animals!! (no disrespect Mike, just thought you would get a kick out of the humor of this line).
The end

Posted by: Mike | July 5, 2007 6:53 PM
Mike,
I hear you loud and clear...
I want to clarify why I responded to your detractors the way I did, I hope you dont take this the wrong way but my postings were not meant to necessarily defend you (Your capable of doing that yourself I am sure) but instead were written out of a simple curiousity...
I was curious about what in the world you did to upset all of these people (All though my money is on 1 or maybe 2 bloggers under different pseudonyms coming after you), I read Arams blog daily and truthfully have never seen you brazenly and/or overtly attack anyone or any program...
Since I havent seen anything out of line I asked these bloggers to clarify their position (Hardly a request for the interruption of free speech), I wanted to know what "Mike the Clone" said or did to bring this on? I mean I obviously missed something, didnt I?
Here is where I stand, if your going to call me an S.O.B. then do so but if you do then expect me to ask one simple question of you, why in your opinion am I an S.O.B.???
Is this too much to ask? I mean you are calling me a name arent you? Give Mike this same respect, thats my point...
Dont throw stones in a glass house, I think you could at a minimum give him that much respect and factually state as to why you feel the way you do...
I asked that question and received nothing more than...Well nothing...
What does that tell me? It tells me there is no validation to the slander being slung towards him and that bothers me greatly since there is nothing even slightly constructive to be gleamed from your comments...
On another note...
I am accused of trying to suppress others right of free speech although if you read through what I wrote I never tried to take the pen out of anyones hand so to speak, I do value other opinions even if I disagree with the outlook (In my opinion we all become better by listening to others)...
and...
Mike, are you going to be at Basset tommorow evening? If so I would enjoy meeting you, a guy as controversial as yourself has to be worth shaking hands with...
AnyMouse...

everyone needs to calm down here. mike is right, you cant make predictions in july. things can happen over the season i.e. injuries. i understand you support your football program and so do i, its just i choose to wait for the season than see how things are going to go when its only july.
p.s.: this is not mike the clone and those who say it is are just plain stupid

Anymouse,
Hey it's okay these guys jump on the hate the Clone “bandwagon”. They come in here smack the Clone and that's their thing. They have fun doing it and I have fun jerking them around. These guys are the hard core "button wearers" I think someone said something about little league dads. That's these guys.
Anonymous is the new kid on the block although there has to be several Anonymous this is the one whose kid got dissed for the game Friday night so he is just bitter. So I just have a good laugh at him and acknowledge him once in awhile just like I’m doing now just to keep the fire stoked.
You will see after awhile it's the same smack coming from them and it’s always Mike this Mike that, Mike's this name and Mike's that name. That’s all they have and as weak as it maybe it sure in the hell is entertaining to watch them fall all over themselves with this blind hatred of the Clone.
So just sit back Anymouse and watch them run their myopic smack and you will see what I am talking about after awhile. It’s all about their hatred of me and their lack of football knowledge.
Late!

What the hell is wrong with you thick sculled clone supporters? Who, and I repeat WHO, of the Tartan supporters ONCE said they would WIN CIF. SHOW ME ONE POST!! WHY DO YOU KEEP MENTIONING CIF. We are ALL tired of playing these games. While we would all love to see it happen, not one Tartan blogger ever said we would win CIF. Mike the Clone brought that up just to confuse people with his nonsense.
Is it so far off to think the Tartans might win league this year? And you, AnyMouse, pre-season, last year did you not believe early on that your school, Covina, would finish wining league? You believed in your school and that years talent base, right?
Why do you and Mike (probally one in the same)keep diluting the fact that Mike pretends to be a true Tartan fan when his support left LAST YEAR with his kid. Everyone knows who Mike the Clone is. Lets get back to reality.

I do not speak for "Mike" in any capacity, I speak for myself and do read the blog daily...
The comments he has made are his own opinion and he is entitled to it like it or not, the whole community dislikes him? I doubt thats close to the truth...
I again dont know "Mike" personally but I side with him, this has to be more personal and pointed than you will admit to...

You are just validating my point, what Exactly has "Mike" done or said to irritate the entire community that you all of a sudden have became a spokesperson for?
Did he say something along the lines of GHS football wont win CIF this year or that he wasnt certain as to the strength of certain positions over at GHS? Am I close? Seriously...
I guess if you have an opinion of a program that doesnt take it all the way to the CIF championship its not worthy and hence you dont support that program, WHAT???
Do you live in a fairy tale world with pink cottages and smurfs dancing through your garden, how can you be taken even partially close to being serious?
Thats nuts...GHS will have a great season I am sure but lets be realistic....DII is tough...
I am from CHS and I am faithful to that program but if I were to tell you that they will go undefeated and win CIF just so "Little Johnny" can walk around all day posturing like his S#@T doesnt stink I should be placed straight into the looney bin... Because they wont, not even close...See, an honest opinion...Wow, how refreshing...
First its Henley and now its the "Clone", who is lined up to be your next local target of venom and despise? You have to have one ready, dont you? Of course the answer is yes, because your opinion is the only one that matters, forget free speech, forget respecting others opinions even if you disagree...I mean why be rational?
Without a target on someone elses back your life wouldnt be fulfilling, I get that impression...Thats sick...
AnyMouse...(Entitled to his opinion)...Out
Posted by: AnyMouse | July 5, 2007 3:38 PM
anymouse~~~
can so many people be wrong? or perhaps can you be sided by his praise of you? true tartan supporters, players, parents and coaches mostly agree. It seems absolutly strange to me that you could make a statement like "I read it daily and never ever have seen the Clone make any comments that I consider out of line towards anybody or any football program". i don't know what you have been reading. Mike the Clone comments have alienated many an individual, football programs, religious organizations and bloggers alike.
you need to read more carefully. some time it's tricky because he talks to himself under several alias, i pray you arn't one of them. but somehow i expect it's true!

Posted by: Klunk | July 5, 2007 3:08 PM
I have to honestly ask a question...
Why does it seem that there are so many "Mike the Clone" antagonist on the blog?
I read it daily and never ever have seen the Clone make any comments that I consider out of line towards anybody or any football program, he states his opinion tactfully and seems like a decent guy...
Am I missing something? Please tell me what that may be for I see endless banter towards the Clone and it is never backed up with the exact reason for that sort of hostility...
Let me also add this, I have never personally met "Mike" nor am I "Mike" using another screen name. I want to clarify that because I am certain that would be the assumption of some of the people on here, so rest assured that is not the case...
"Mike" may be a colorful character of a sort and chafe some of you with his opinion but I have to say from where I stand there appears to be a deeper underlying rationality behind this obviously pointed and unjustified hatred...
AnyMouse...
Posted by: AnyMouse | July 5, 2007 2:43 PM
Amazing that they still don't get it isn’t it!
Smack away boys and remember what you speak boldly of in July, because what goes around just may come around to haunt you in November. And you whiners won’t be anywhere to be found accept shivering in the corner going “oh big bad Mike the Clone was right we didn’t get pass the second round.”
Oh an to the dope who said Plaid-Lad wrote they would go all the way.....go back and read his post again Here I'll make it easy for you here it is...
"Is it possible that GHS might fare better then a third place finish this time around in the SL? With the current development of their team...I would say, YES! I also recognize that the SL is a tough league too "do-battle-in," whether you agree with me or not. Are their other more powerful leagues....ABSOLUTLEY!"
Heellllooooo...... where did he say they were going to win the Sierra league. He said they would place better than third.
Honestly I expect us to be right smack down in the middle when the "Tribs" pre-season picks come out.
So smack away and please swing for the fences…I’ll be sitting here swatting the smoke away from my mirror from all the smoke you guys are blowing out your ears.

Mike the Clone,
Mike you amaze me with your smoke and mirrors. Your exerpt from Plaid-Lads post did NOTHING to support your exertion that we should divert our anger towards him. Plaid-Lad said nothing but PRAISE of our boys believing they will go all the way to win SL, you only praise those that spew hatred. No one EVER said that Glendora will win a CIF patch. Only your buddy haters brought that up.
It would appear from 3rd commandment's post earlier, not only do you piss off the Tartan team, coaches and parents, but you also are now pissing off many Christians with your poorly choosen words.
You say think from your mind and not your heart, I say think before you type. Through this last year, you have pissed off more people and groups then any other blogger and THATS A FACT, sir!
Posted by: Anonymous | July 5, 2007 1:49 PM
Mike the Clone has always wanted to be heard when he is quick to criticize but slow to listen to others when they have praises that disagree with his comments.
You serve no one Mike except for your small-minded one-sided point of view!
Your assessment of the head coach, his staff, and players may be somewhat real world in that they have never been too successful but you’re living in a false world because now the whole world realizes that your own community hates you.
Who really does love you?
You’re guilty! Confess you’re partial to your own perspective you cannot deny that can you?
PLAID-LAD respects his community Mike the Clone you disrespect your community!
PLAID-LAD is innocent because when he communicates his analysis if you were to blame him for anything that would be he is probably a parent and is bias in that he is always a loyal fan of the program with the information he provides us.
Mike the Clone you are careless! PLAID-LAD you care! No one here on the blog and in the community trusts you anymore Michael.
Randy, talk to us about Diamond Bar. I would seriously be interested in your predictions because at least we know you will be brutally honest with us. I do like reading your lively remarks. You’re not impartial and do have common sense and logic about the Sierra League.
Mike the Clone no one likes you but if you want us to understand you then you need to tell us why and how you have these opinions? Facts not fiction…Time to put up or shut up once and for ALL!

Maybe you did it this time. lol
Come on come up with another alter ego to defend you. That was so funny last year when you did that from time to time after stepped in doo doo!
You crack me up Mike. The truth is like someone else said before . Damien went from 4th to 1st with an inexperienced defense, new players at various positions and look what happened. Give the Glendora kids credit and stop the "snide remarks" and always referencing "your" past and stop making comments that put pressure on little Mikey...who happens to be the only returning OLine starter...thanks Plaid Lad at least we know who Mike finally is. NMikey be constructive for once and realize that Glendora doesn't need you...maybe Temple City does but Glendora's "newest transplant" is a bit boorish.

Kids have no respect for Mike the Clone, The clone radio show! & Anonymous,
Boy’s Boy’s, Boy”s, go back and reads Plaid-Lads post to MCD & Randy.
And I fully expect you to blast the Plaid for not saying that the “bagpipers” are going to win a CIF patch…………
Better yet you dopes I’ll post it for ya!
"When I broke-down the coming season for GHS I never mentioned anything about winning a CIF patch. My comments were directed toward the SL and GHS's "2007 scheduled season"...projecting nothing more and nothing less. We recognize the talent that governs the D-2 ranks and we all know too well what those teams bring each year when play-off time bangs on our door. Is it possible that GHS might fare better then a third place finish this time around in the SL? With the current development of their team...I would say, YES! I also recognize that the SL is a tough league too "do-battle-in," whether you agree with me or not. Are their other more powerful leagues..ABSOLUTLEY!"
You see Plaid-Lad is a realist and knows the deal and deals with it. He is just not as “blunt” as I am. I have agreed with him like 98% on what he has posted over this past week.
Motivating the kids is not my job, that's the coach’s job. Motivation is done in film study, on the field and in the locker room. But seems to me that you guys have never been in a film study or locker room before so I’d expect comments like that from you guys.
So since Plaid-Lad didn’t give you guys the Sierra league Championship and a CIF title I fully expect you goofs to smack the Plaid-Lad for not doing so.
Now how is that for comeback?
Sorry Plaid-Lad but these guys can’t have it both ways.
Late!

Joe the comment I made about my coach probably fits most honored coaches..... Yes, your right....Coach Rodgers was a special person and those that played for him gloried the experience not with wins, but by remembering how he changed and molded our young life's.
Posted by: PLAID-LAD | July 5, 2007 10:51 AM
While the name was not mentioned specifically, Plaid-Lad does describe Coach Joe Rodger to a tee. Plaid - is it true?
Or is their another wonderful coach out there that fits the same description and inspired his players to greater heights. Plaid - how fortunate you were to play for a man like that, whether it was Rodger or another loving behemoth that you will rememberforever.
All players deserve to have a coach like this sometime in their life

I like several on this space enjoy from time to time providing what we think in regards to SGV football. What you wrote about Bassett HS and Coach Ward was over the top and in my view considered threatening. For the lack of repeating those vile words I will refrain from quoting you.
Aram, as memeber of the Tribune you have the responsibility of monitoring this type of threatening garbage. Do you think the Ward family and the Bassett Alum would actually condon this type of "freedom of expression?" I think NOT! Clean it up...Aram!
