Fanview Lite: January 2, 2010

Too good of a pic not to use: I'm not done with football! Not after revisiting the San Dimas season this week.

Good Morning!

T-Minus-261 Days until “The Mid Valley Classic”

Oh, I have always been a Buckeye fan…ever since the days of Brian Baschnagel.

Did you see the Trib’s Fred Robledo sticking his recorder in Jim Tressel’s face after the Rose Bowl… My first thought was, alright Fred went to the game… My second thought was, Dude looked better dressed than any other time I’ve seen him…

Give it up to Ohio State’s Terrelle Pryor…he was very good yesterday…and I need to back off on my bagging on him… Its another case of not being anti the kid, but anti the hype.

Looking at Jeremiah Masoli and the rest of the Oregon Ducks after the game, I got the distinct feeling they were just happy to be there…which is alright… However, by and large you only get one Rose Bowl game in your life…Shouldn’t you want to win it?

I saw my first Rose Bowl in January of 1974, I’m still waiting to play in the Rose Bowl… And if I some how get transplanted back in time, with a different body, and humbler mindset than the one I had back in the day…I won’t be happy to be there, I’ll want to kill Ohio State…Michigan… or whoever…

How can you just be happy to be there?

When you go to Disneyland with your family, you’re happy. When you go to a Dodger game and don’t have to hear the name F.P. Santangelo, you’re happy to be there…but if I make it to the Rose Bowl (provided the right Twilight Zone, Quantum Leap, moment comes along)…There’s no way I’m gonna smile, shake hands, and yuck it up with the team that just spanked me…

Oregon was disappointing yesterday…

….and Tim Tebow wasn’t.

I’m sure current Notre Dame HC Brian Kelly watched the Sugar Bowl from home very proud of his decision…I understand business, I understand I’ve said this before, but Kelly is a BUM…and those Bearcat players suffered the brunt of their former HC’s decision.

Here’s hoping Notre Dame a miserable 2010.

Anyone want the job at Texas Tech?

As an avid USC basketball fan, if you had told me the Trojans would win nine games this season I would have taken it…if you would have told me they’d have nine wins, plus be 1-0 in league at this point of the season I would have said; “Andy, shut up!”

Who needs Tim Floyd?

Can somebody tell Corn Dawg its 2010, he might still be in a gym somewhere watching a tournament.

You know that feeling you have right now…that feeling of conclusion…that feeling of things being over… Its created by a lack of local football… If you would jump on the bandwagon with me we could be looking forward to JV Spring Football starting in about six weeks…It would be awesome…but instead you would rather wait 253 days for the first Zero Week game.

I’m willing to compromise…Somebody tell me when they are going to have their first throw-around this off season and I’ll be happy to come out take shots… I’m not done with football, sorry…

Quite a few teams will be hitting the weights Monday…

One thing to keep an eye on, with the holidays behind us, is we are entering the zone when the prep football coaches make decisions about moving on. Late January thru the end of March is generally the time frame for a coach to leave without serious questions. If he leaves after that window people start asking questions as to why…

Stay thirsty my friends…
