| For Tea Party poobah Erick Erickson, last weekend was not a good one. |
| The crew suddenly lost their stroke oar to eligibility issues, and Erickson was back to the drawing board to find a line-up. |
| For 10 years, Erickson has been monitoring the Pacific chorus frogs' deep-throated, well-rounded ribbits. |
| Still, Erickson has gotten banks to back off their usual requirement that a CCRC presell 80 percent of its units before getting a dime. |
| In two years, he planted the seeds that Erickson nurtured into three bowl games in the last four seasons. |
| Standing on the winner's podium with his guide, Erickson breathed in the crisp air as a smile beamed across his windburned cheeks. |
