Benji Sanderson leads TC over Brazil....we mean Blair!<\/p><\/div>\n

Good Morning!<\/p>\n

T-Minus-227 Days until \u201cThe Mid Valley Classic\u201d<\/p>\n

Can I just ignore the Lakers?<\/p>\n

Its February, you know what\u2019s coming?…I mean after the Super Bowl…The NFL Combine…I am down with the get down…That\u2019s good stuff…<\/p>\n

Never used to think much of signing day. I believe it\u2019s because I used to fall into the same trap many still do; If it\u2019s not PAC 10 or major division-one then it doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n

Again, this is where football provides many more opportunities than basketball or baseball. In my youth I never would have thought much of Joe Morales signing with Ohio or Isaac Valdez going with Iowa Wesleyan.<\/p>\n

I would have said; \u201cI\u2019d uh what?\u201d at news of Mitchell Crockom\u2019s going to Idaho.<\/p>\n

As news filtered in on Wednesday, I felt myself becoming more and more elated by the moment.<\/p>\n

Especially when I heard Dietrich Riley chose UCLA over USC….Oh, I\u2019ve always been a Bruins fan…<\/p>\n

Actually, it was fun to hear Peterson say; \u201cThat dude told me he was going to USC!\u201d<\/p>\n

More news should be coming down in a couple of weeks on Monrovia\u2019s Josh Lowden and Burroughs wide receiver Kohl Adams-Hurd.<\/p>\n

Heard it on \u201cThe Herd\u201d this morning; \u201cBrees is respected, Manning is feared.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why I like the Colts on Sunday.<\/p>\n

But then again, the Saints are playing for the hope, pride, and general well-being of the city of New Orleans. Did you know they got hit by a hurricane nearly five years ago?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s amazing what goes unreported.<\/p>\n

Except this…and believe it or not…I\u2019m not even a soccer guy, but Temple City picked up Hat Tricks from both Benji Sanderson and Tim Herrington Wednesday in a 9-0 victory over Brazil.<\/p>\n

…Check that, a 9-0 victory over Blair.<\/p>\n

As I recover from my herniated disk, I\u2019ve had well wishers from all over the country. But the best comes from former TC soccer player Joe Scoffinger, who posted this on Facebook: “Now you’ll be an even smarter basketball player.”<\/p>\n

Man, I love the way that sounds…\u2018even a smarter basketball player\u2019…of course implying I was pretty heads-up before the injury.<\/p>\n

Then again I always looked smart posting up former TC basketball player, the current soccer loving Danny Jacks.<\/p>\n

Mike Dunleavy didn\u2019t need players to be successful with the Clippers. He needed Father Karras, Dr. Van Helsing, Holy Water, cloves of garlic, and a silver bullet to change things.<\/p>\n

Addios Mike…<\/p>\n

I\u2019m gonna miss Keith Jones…We\u2019ll post the story about him later this morning. Unless you\u2019ve been around the area for a while, the best understanding of what San Gabriel football was before him is to think of where Mark Keppel is now.<\/p>\n

Jones is quick to point out success was put in motion by Gary Orona, but it was Jones who continued to build and eventually reached a CIF title game in 2003. Won an Almont title, finally beat Bell Gardens, and eventually got home games on campus.<\/p>\n

It should be called Keith Jones Stadium right now.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve heard through the grapevine new Alhambra HC Lou Torres is more of a Wing-T pound it kinda guy…<\/p>\n

Somebody needs to give Burroughs linebacker Charlie Hosea a look.<\/p>\n

LaDainian Tomlinson might want his release from the Chargers, but the only people knocking on his door with any interest will be census workers.<\/p>\n

I think the remedy for my Tar Heel friends in Four Oaks and Benson, North Carolina is Matt Doherty.<\/p>\n

Stay thirsty my friends\u2026<\/p>\n
