The TEN

(“The Ten” is not a top ten, but ten items worth being included in The TEN)

1.) On this date in 1975 a banged up Los Angeles Rams team defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers, 10-3, in a Saturday night game played the L.A. Coliseum. Steeler quarterbacks Terry Bradshaw and “Jefferson Street” Joe Gilliam combined to complete just 5 of 21 passes and were picked off three times (Ken Geddes, Eddie McMillan, Monte Jackson). Ron Jaworski, playing for the injured James Harris, scored the game winning touchdown on a 5-yard quarterback draw in the fourth quarter.

Note: Gilliam never appeared in another NFL game.

2.) Azusa linebacker Marlon Aguirre collected 155 tackles in 2013. He’s a senior.

3.) “We’re not just going out there to win, we’re going out there for glory. We’re gonna yank ’em…tear ’em…rrrrip ’em…We’re gonna take ’em and roll ’em around, and rip ’em up to pieces…and then we’re gonna slaughter ’em! And after the slaughter is over we’re going to come back here and ring that victory bell…Like we always wanted to.”—Rydell HC Calhoun
