No I'm not Marcus Allen.
Played some college football though.... but never made it to the pro's.
Dammmmitt!!!
...well anyway
I have an uncle who played with the Baltimore Colts from 1969-to-1971
....and
A cousin who went to UCLA in the 80's... was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys during the 1st round (18th overall) in the 1986 NFL Draft.
He played in 8 NFL seasons from 1986 and 1990 to 1996. My cousin played with 4 different teams in the NFL. The Dallas Cowboys, the San Francisco 49ers, the New York Giants, and the Denver Broncos.
NOTE: My cous has a Super Bowl ring he won with DB Ronnie Lott, QB Steve Young and WR Jerry Rice in Super Bowl XXIV against Boomer Esiason and the Cincinnatti Bengals.
JTSMASH.... you ever hear of a football player named Mike Sherrard? He was a wide-out.
Holla...

Good morning CSRA.... yes indeed my cousin played Division I Collegiate Football as a wide receiver for the UCLA Bruins.
Michael Watson Sherrard was born in Oaktown (Oakland, Calif.) just like me over 40 years ago.

Hi Ken...
Cliff Branch #21 -- World Class Sprinter/Wideout
Hmmm....
Since we are discussing the Raaaiderrs....
Any of you "Die-Hard Raider Fans" out there remember this ferocious hit by another #32. Talking about Strong Safety Jack Tatum's head-thrashing and teeth shattering hit on Sammy White in Super Bowl XII.

Hey Marcus im like you .I almost made some headway in two sports. played football at fresno state unv,under Jim Sweeny, Erickson was the offense/reciever coach. MY cousin made it Hiesman Trophy winner John Avery.too bad the 1980 games were boycotted, I was in the runnining in the 400 meter hurdels.I used to hand the baton off to Henry Ellard @ fresno state. he went on to become a ram receiver of the rams football team .Ii also ran a few times in the west coast relays. Efren Lopez i lived in inglewood for many years.used to play basketball and went to school with Reggie Theus.SO much for history

March Madness is back and I love it!
I'm a California guy (Northern region) so naturally I'm going to root for teams out of the Golden State in these National Collegiate contests.
My team the Standford Cardinals were knocked out of the Elite 8. Now my focus is on the UCLA Bruins to do good in the Final 4.

Hi Coyote...
Dude I'm full of energy! Folks use to think I was on steroids because I was so darn funky back in my younger days. (smile)
But seriously though, the Oakland "Raaaaaiders" are in a emotionally and highy critical transitional phase of trying to recapture the RAIDER MYSTIQUE within this once proud and mighty professional football organization. Legendary gridiron champions have won big games for the Silver & Black.
Men like:
1) Defensive End Howie Long
2) Quarterback Kenny Stabler
3) Wideout Jerry Rice
4) All Purpose Receiver Touchdown Timmy Brown
5) Linebacker Ted Hendricks
6) Quarterback Jim Plunkett
7) Tightend Dave Casper
8) Wide Receiver Fred Biletnikoff
9) Defensive Back Mike Haynes
10) Runningback Bo Jackson
11) Hall of Fame Q.B. and Kicker George Blanda
12) Strong Safety Jack Tatum "The Assasin"!
I don't think Al "The Godfather" Davis wants to leave this earth until he witnesses another valiant Superbowl victory! When that will be who knows the way these men in Silver & Black have been playing over the recent years.
....however
Your Dallas Cowboys are going to be just fine with smooth as silk Tony Romo doing his thing at Q.B. I know Jerry Jones has gotta love the heck out of Romo.
.....oh well
Since this thread is a commerative spotlight on the great "Hall of Famer" #32 Marcus Allen.... it would only be fair to end it with a snapshot of Marcus smoothly cutting against the grain against Raiders archrivals (the Chiefs)!

I played football with Mo Williams when I was in 9th grade. He later played for the University of Kentucky and Minnesota Vikings. We played for the Crawford Cougars and barely had enough guys to make a team, and most of us had to play offense and defense. This was junior high school back then. He was in 8th grade, and I was in 9th grade. He beat me out for half-back. We lost one game the whole season. Very fond memories. One of the best records in the school's history. I always tell people I could have been a contender...lol.

What a disappointing season 2008 was for the Raider Nation. Even though I'm depressed about the Raiders performance on the gridiron... I still have enough love for my `Raaaiders to wear my Silver & Black cap.

I like the #1 seeds, but I am looking at Memphis in the Final Four. After they moved Evans to point guard they became a different team then they were thier first few games. Louisville I am picking as the National Champ.

March Madness is here!
I'm watching ESPN highlights and reading ESPN news. Wowsa there's a really great game going on in the NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament!
The 15th seed from the west Cal State Northridge is playing tough against Memphis in the second half of regulation play.
==2nd HALF SCORE==
Cal State Northridge...64
Memphis.....67
Word on the wire is that just only a few hours before tip-off.... Conneticut Head Coach Jim Calhoun has stated that he will not coach his team today against their scheduled opponent Chattanooga.
I think the Conneticut Huskies are talented enough to win without Coach Calhoun yelling at them on the hardwood today.

Yeah that kid for Memphis plays the big guard position and hit ten 3 pointers scoring 35 points in total for the game. He goes by the name of Roburt Sallie and stands 6ft 5inchs on the hardwood.
I'm quite sure that mom and dad are very, very, very proud of their collegiate superstar.
...also
There was an upset in the NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament on Thursday. The 12th seed Western Kentucky Hilltoppers defeated the 5th seed Illinois Illini in the 1st round of the South Regionals.
==FINAL SCORE==
WKU.....76
Illinois....72
