LAST TWO GAMES. I thought I'd let you guys know what the So-Cal Rams in West Covina, CA have been up to.

First of all, congratulations to the most loyal and faithful group of fans in the NFL. We have endured like no other and we are about to be payed back ten-fold. This season we're going to the playoffs and seriously challenging for the SUPERBOWL! That's right gang. I said it and I believe it! No fear in that statement. Heck, we even started the "SUPERBOWL" chant at the National Sports bar and Grill in West Covina after we clinched the game against the Whiners.

As for us in So-Cal we are rocking endlessly. We had an overflow crowd of over 100 Rams fans, a sight unseen in So-Cal, at the National for the Whiner game. We let the Whiners have it big time. "Whiners Suck", "Warner Brothers", "UNDEFEATED", "4-0", "End the Streak", "Warner, Warner, Warner", "Bruuuuuce", and 'What Time is it? Az-Time " chants dominated the scene at the Rams/Whiners game at the National. Every time one of the Herd member cashes in on a silly bet made by another NFL fan the "ATM" cheers go up. Every team gets the "goodbye chant" at the end of the game and Rams posters and banners are all over the place. We even had one guy make a huge sign imploring "Georgia, Please Sell the Team". We did our usual "Rams Conga line of high-fives" around the "Rams Room" after every score, and trust me, at this pace it leaves you winded.

But perhaps the highlightof the Whiner game was when Horne returned the game-clinching kick return TD and we collectively stormed the rest of the bar and made the rounds going nuts, hooting and hollering and waving the Rams flags among the rest of the NFL teams represented there. The cool part is that most of the fans from other teams slapped us high-fives because they were almost as happy to see the Whiners get lit up and spanked as we were. The Whiners, a notoriously hated team of course, did nothing but make excuses, whine and lower their poor miserable heads but ultimately a few of them recognized we are the superior team and that they just got "Ram-handeled"!

A local TV station even interviewed a few of us and when a Whiner got a chance to speak he was mobbed by Rams fans and draped with Rams flags and "Rammy Whammy" towels. How cool was that to see a Whiner on TV being badgered by victorious Rams fans and being overwhelmed by "Rammy Whammy" towels? Yeah, real SWEET!

At the Atlanta game we were taunting the "Dirty-Birds" with "Tweetie Bird" rags and after we had thoroughly dominated them we busted out the brooms for the sweep and proceeded to sweep them out of the bar as we swept their jerseys and what remained of their pride off the floor. We figured we were doing them and the rest of the world a favor, simply sanitizing the "Dirty Birds". Guys thsi season has been incredible and it's only going to get better. I can't wait for the playoffs because honestly, we won't see any REAL competition until then.

NEXT SF GAME: Vision this...

A group of about two dozen Rams fans in their Rams jerseys circling Candlestick Park (I refuse to call it 3Com Park) waving brooms and "Rammy Wammy" towels as the Rams sweep the Whiners. I bet that would get local media attention!

And it's not just a Rams fantasy. That's what the So-Cal Herd is doing. We're organizing a trip up to San Francisco for Rams/Whiner game #2, touring and partying in S.F. on Saturday and then tailgating before and after the game on Sunday. Sounds good huh? Let me know who else is interested so we can coordinate the Candlestick take over. Damn, I can't wait! Crazy Rams fans take over the Stick, sweep the Whiners and then do the "Bob and Weave" Rams TD celebration in front of pissed of SF crowd! Sounds like a great headline, huh.
Gotta love it!

Later herd and keep on rocking. Best Wishes, congratulations and greetings to and from, Pedro and the So-Cal HERD!!!
