    Hey J.P.
    Not really sure what your comment has to do with my post, but I’m guessing you must be a Celtics fan like Mushmouth was. He couldn’t keep his east coast bias out of games he called. Joe Buck is just BAD! As far as grandmas go, I wish I still had one and I’ve got my own money and the comment about dogs was just stupid. Makes me wonder who does your spell checking.

    #10 Good riddance Brent Mushmouth. The only ones sad to see you go are the Celtics, cause you were their boy. Any chance you can talk Joe Buck into retiring also?

    Anything on La Mirada? Los Altos? Buena Park? West Covina? SAN Gabriel? Claremont? Diamond Bar?

    Several of these coaches resigned or were let go quite a while ago. Are we in the day and age where hiring a football coach takes months? Walnut is the only school that got on the ball right away.
    From T. Peterson: I’ve been in contact with all of those schools. Nothing yet. Although I’m hearing La Mirada is close.

    Sad to hear of Musburger’s last time at bat; it makes me wonder how I’ll take it when Peterson types his last words on this site.
