  1. Just curious, but I was wondering if any of these folks had an inside track? Like maybe they… how do I say this delicately… went to Notre Dame?

    I also wonder why three virtually obscure candidates with almost no internet persona were selected? …or was that they idea? I don’t see a ‘National Reputation” in any of these characters.

    Will these sessions be highly structured? Will all candidates field questions or have to share the puny 40 or 50 minutes allocated in some cases?

    I guess everyone will just have to see what happens down the road.

  2. Roger, isn’t it time you returned to your blog and continued ripping Cal Poly to hopefully get even for your wife not getting a position as a professor at the university?

    Come on dude. Let it go.

    You never attended Cal Poly and you’ve become known as nothing more than the local wingnut with an axe to grind.

    Move on (maybe back to San Marino). It will give you piece of mind.

  3. Yes Roger! How dare you share your opinions? This is SLO… not San Francisco or Los Angeles!
