Good Evening!

…And here comes Muir.

Amazing what a St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams victory will do for your day…Thank you Wife for my Sunday Ticket.

Should a third place team in the Rio Hondo get wild card consideration?

Oh, I’ve always been a Stanford fan…The problem against USC was Andrew Luck didn’t use Emile Harry enough.

Picked against Arroyo on Friday…Doing the show on Tuesday from Arroyo…And interviewing His Arroyo Baldness…“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death…”

If Monrovia leaves to the Pacific…in some sort of future scenario…South Pasadena will become the power in the Rio Hondo…Joey Harmon, keep an eye on Joey Harmon.

Congrats to La Salle.

So is Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington the new Gene Mauch?

Let me see by a show of hands all of the Southeast teams that want to play Muir in the first round? Come on? Anybody?

All right, same deal, who in the Mid-Valley Division wants Pomona in the first round? … … Yeah, that’s what I thought.

Pasadena? Anyone want to face Brandon Cox (20 Tds passing, 8 Tds rushing)?

Hoping the best for Bishop Amat quarterback Rio Ruiz who suffered a knee injury Friday night…I’m not familiar enough with the Lancers to know what they may or may not have going forward…but one thing I do know…Burroughs better hope Zander Anding’s partially collapsed lung gets re-inflated real soon or the Indians will be turning in gear before Thanksgiving.

I believe the crash cart analogy used with Villathedevil on the show Friday night probably best describes where the Maranatha season is right now. The paddles are heating up…a loss to Village Christian and 2011 flatlines.

Should have said this earlier, but good for Bellflower. Mayfair took care of business against them but the Buccaneers have remained in the Suburban Myer League discussion for eight weeks and they are going to the playoffs.

“When I see him, I literally forget to breath,” said one local defensive coordinator about El Monte quarterback Brandon Martinez.

Is Halloween over yet? I’m really getting sick of it.

Yes, Mt. View is starting to wear down but if anyone thinks South El Monte still isn’t a team to be concerned with they better think again.

Henry Mascorro did  a nice  job keeping the Southmen on track, but a healthy Fernando Ramirez has the ability to make them very, very dangerous. Ramirez is a rarity for a South El Monte quarterback, a pocket passer with a big arm.

El Monte better not lose focus in the Griffin Bowl and if Rosemead has dreams of remaining in the playoff picture they need to be careful. Ramirez has the ability to torch anybody.

How about giving some credit to Bonita…just when they looked dead in the water the Bearcats have made it back to shore.

I wasn’t there, but Alhambra’s win over Montebello doesn’t give me confidence in the Moors going forward…On the other hand, San Gabriel’s win at Bell Gardens does cause all to take notice.

We’re not talking non-league, we’re not talking post-season, we’re talking Almont League…and in the Almont the Matadors may have too much firepower.

I guess Keppel missed its window.

Erick Streelman’s Valley Christian Crusaders have won four of their last five and are getting monster performances out of bookend “Bad Dude” linebackers David Coley and Zach D’Amico.

The Fate of the World (at least in terms of the Olympic League) will be decided this week when Whittier Christian comes to Valley Christian.

“I’ve never had a kid this young with such great football knowledge,” says Muir interim HC David Mitchell of freshman quarterback Darick Holmes.

The Mid: “Coach are you going to get this gig permanently?”

Mitchell: “Hey, I’m not even talking about that right now.”

Santa Fe…just remember Santa Fe…because I didn’t remember Santa Fe…

Yes, I agree…Not enough love is being given Crescenta Valley’s Marro Lee.

The word out of Wilson is…Wait a second…there has been no word out of Wilson in weeks.

Prepared any place, any time, against whoever, to make my argument and case for Steven Rivera being the greatest Mission Valley League player of all time. No other player has his production offensively and defensively over four years. Nobody.

El Monte? Ray McNeil and Henry Omana? They had a great 1979.

Arroyo’s Kenny Smith? Willie Reyna? Did they do it on defense as well? Did they start when they were freshman? Did they play with better or worse talent?

Rosemead’s Matt Koffler, love the guy but the productions not there. Wolf Payne Barber? Did he do it on offense and defense, while at Mead, over four years?

I’m not going to settle this myself, I’ll let the poll decide it…but come on, you have to give me names that were around longer than one season.

A.J. Feeley? Yeah, that dude is all right.

Help me, help you!
