(“The TEN” is not a top ten but ten items worth being included in “The TEN”)
1.Daniel Olmos had a interception to seal the game to go along with 149 yards rushing and two touchdowns in South El Monte’s win over Rancho Christian in the second round of the CIF Division 13 playoffs.
2. Las Vegas has closed the betting on the Heisman Trophy winner and has Baker Mayfield as the odds-on favorite to win.
3. The Boston Celtics made it 15 straight wins with their 110-99 win over Atlanta on Saturday night.
4. UCLA fires head football coach Jim Mora Sunday at the end of his sixth season and on his 56th birthday.
5. Charter Oak had to erase a 21-0 first quarter deficit and came back to beat Westlake 39-28 Friday night in the Divison III second round game.
6. Rashaad Penny rushed for 222-yards and two touchdowns in San Diego State’s win over Nevada. Penny still leads all Division I rushers with 1824 yards.
7. “Looks like the boys in blue are FDIC insured to make the finals….bank on it.” Mid Valley commentor Sound Financials
8. On this day in 1977 Walter Payton rushed for a then single game record of 275 yards vs. the Minnesota Vikings.
9. Former Chargers head coach Mike McCoy was let go by the Denver Broncos as theif offensive coordinator after the Broncos sixth straight loss.
10. “Didn’t know ‘charter buses’ come in yellow” Arroyo head coach Jim Singiser when he saw what pulled up to take his team to Palm Springs.
So much for amateur athletics at the NCAA Division I-A level.
I heard Mora got a 12 million dollar payout. Was that severance, contract buyout or birthday present? Don’t tell me that College football doesn’t make a boat load of money where they can throw that kind of money at a departing employee. I have a feeling Mora’s agent earned every penny with that contract.
Trump is pissed that LaVar continues speak of the shoplifting as “no big deal.” All this situation required was a 99-cent thank you card and a complimentary pair of BBB shoes for Donald’s 11-year-old boy, and this thing would be history. But that’s not how our national heroes from Chino Hills roll. It’s for sure that LaVar doesn’t believe in God, because that’s apparently what he sees in his mirror on a daily basis.
If they are giving me a $12 million check, they can fire me on Christmas. And for the record, the suspension of the 3 basketball players is out of Guerrero’s hands; it’s an administration decision.
Looks like it’s back to the drawing board for the Baby Bruins. Guerrero needs to go as well. Especially if he blinks and doesn’t suspend the shoplifters.
I don’t know which shows less class: firing Mora on his birthday, or firing Kiffen on the tarmac. Both organizations need a refresher course in basic humanity.
