I must say a few words
I've got to give my brother Eric Robinson a lot of credit. When I tossed the idea out to him about heading a conference, ERob did not hesitate or wonder if this would offend anyone. He said, "Reg, let me know when you want to start and I will get the people".
Eric and I go back a few years so I always have had nothing but luv for my brother out west. But Norbert, I am telling you, when I went out west and met Shabby J and hung out with Dave Campbell and saw my boy Rastahaze and Vince and got to hang with crazy Ajah, and saw Rick Garrison and Shawn again and finally got to meet my good friend Ned Flanders, it was one of the special times I've had in the game.
I even told ERob, we need to kick off every year at Eric and Dave's Run in April! I told him I think guys out east would definitely make it a point to be able to come out West and play non-conference college games just to open the season. I know for one, I would be there! Guys like Zeek and Boddie and others just want to show their luv for what the PAC10 does!
So Norbert, thanks for throwing this out there! The PAC10 is ERob's baby but he's got a lot of support out west trying to make this thing happen!
