@ Question Mark: Now that’s old-school.
@ Anonymous & Question Mark: The Poets can’t do much worse than they already have during the last several decades. Perhaps they can establish an upward trend, but it will take a lot of dedication, hard work, recruiting, and good coaching.
winning isn’t everything right? Go Poets keep playing your hearts out.
Here’s another one to amaze you RV. In the decade of the 1950’s the Poets had as head coaches back to back Hall of Fame NFL head coaches. First was George Allen then followed by Don Coryell of Air Coryell fame.. Needless to say they won titles every year in the 50’s. So go get ’em Mr. Gomez
@ Question Mark: And they’re still playing football. Amazing.
Whomever can turn the Whittier College Football program around should get a golden ticket to the NFL. They have averaged 2 wins a season since 1990.
The Whittier Poets! That’s a (literally) old-school name for a college football team.
Whittier is not very good. I can hope they hire a new coach and turn that program around.
Good for him. Congratulations Kid.
It’s been a while since a Matador continued at the next level. Congratulations to him.
