About Mike »

I often go by the name The San Clemente Kid. I am an energetic 41 yr old with the energy of an 18yr old. I love God, my wife, son and sports...... it is the Raiders, Angels, Lakers, Kings hockey and USC and UCLA football. I really love my Raiders. I am not a high quality writer as some of you have seen but I do love to put my opinions out there in a mad rush of typing.

Please excuse the grammatical errors due to my brain moving much faster than my fingers.

You can find me daily at the Fox Sports Oakland Raiders Blog as ,The San Clemente Kid at http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/team?forum_key=StoryComments&topic_key=67050&page_no=1&categoryId=67050&rand=83

Mike,

I will try and make it over again next year, but it will probably be in October....ish, work and home commitments allowing.

I liked your article, but I have to say, we have some absolute fools making comments on the boards. Whatever you write, they aren't happy. It is a bad time for the Raider nation right now, we have o stick together.

Cheers,

Dave

You said;

"Of course Oakland and the surrounding area arent the greatest neighborhoods (you dont really want to walk around at night)"

I have a house in Hollins Market, Baltimore, Maryland...what's the 'permit to carry' rule out there?

Mike,

I would love to come over to the Raiders convention in September, but I' scheduled in for the two back to back home games in November (Falcons and Panthers).

If I had my way I would come to every game no matter how badly we played, but work commitments (and of course finance) are limiting factors.

When I come over, I will be meeting up with some guys off the Raidernews site for a Raider beer fest at Ricky's Bar. If you are in the neighbourhood would be happy to buy you a beer (or eight!) and talk Raider stuff till the early hours....an then some (any strip bars close by?).

All the best, thanks for the post,

Dave

Hey Mike -

Thanks for the invitation. Looks like it will be a blast.

Thanks again-
