Joe Torosian<\/p><\/div>\n

Good Morning!<\/p>\n

Oh, I\u2019ve always been a San Diego State fan.<\/p>\n

\u2026but then again Duke is Duke.<\/p>\n

In regards to what is going on in Madison, Wisconsin right now I appreciate the fact that there are teachers out there protesting as is their right.<\/p>\n

I believe there are some out there looking for a good time.<\/p>\n

I believe there are some professional protesters coming in and doing their thing.<\/p>\n

But I also believe some of those folks protesting are Green Bay fans who feel a bit jaded that they didn\u2019t get their riot after the Packers won the Super Bowl\u2026<\/p>\n

I honestly thought Carmelo Anthony was going to end up in Golden State\u2026<\/p>\n

The only players not included in the Anthony deal to the Knicks was Mack Calvin, Bubbles Hawkins, Dean Meminger, and Monte Towe.<\/p>\n

I would love to see the Anaheim Kings at The Pond.<\/p>\n

Saile Ramirez is big on Alhambra\u2026<\/p>\n

Monrovia wins the Mid-Valley title in 2011, does it get moved into the Southeast come 2012?<\/p>\n

Nostradamus roundtable moment in the office this weekend: Blair gets dropped from the Rio Hondo League, M-Town gets booted, \u2026Glendale and Hoover join the RHL (temporarily)\u2026<\/p>\n

Pitchers! Catchers!…Yawn!<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t know you could become famous with a name like Trevor Bayne\u2026Not a racing fan but if a last name was up for grabs I\u2019d take \u201cDaytona\u201d\u2026Joe Daytona\u2026That sounds alright\u2026 Name like that could eventually get me in a Nebraska uniform.<\/p>\n

Love the NFL Combine.<\/p>\n

Whatever you want to say about Auburn\u2019s Cam Newton I would probably agree with\u2026but say what you will as of now he\u2019s planning on doing the full workout at the Combine\u2026That\u2019s a good move.<\/p>\n

Mike Hobbie spent Friday interview current, former, and hopefuls for his San Marino staff.<\/p>\n

I asked one potential assistant coming out of a meeting if anyone clued Hobbie in about Monrovia, its football team, and what the Cats have coming back…<\/p>\n

“We didn’t talk about that.”<\/p>\n

If its love, its love\u2026but if it\u2019s only lust couldn\u2019t A-Rod do better than Cameron Diaz?<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know but\u2026There is something about Diaz\u2026<\/p>\n

A little leg work on my part might answer this but does anyone know the percentage of on campus versus off campus coaches leading varsity basketball programs for both boys and girls?<\/p>\n

I think all local schools should cancel December tournaments and run three weeks of a combined clinic just teaching fundamentals\u2026So maybe, come league and playoff time, we could see some good basketball.<\/p>\n

Note to CIF: Marry the basketball divisional alignment to football. Give us Southeast and Mid-Valley Divisions in basketball\u2026Cut down on the road trips, build local energy.<\/p>\n

We always talk, debate, and surmise reasons for player transfers from one school to another in football, but basketball offers countless arguments for a transferring athlete.<\/p>\n

Was asked what I thought of skydiving. I reissued the old line: \u201cThere is something wrong with jumping out of a perfectly good plane.\u201d<\/p>\n

(I think Twain said that).<\/p>\n

\u201cWell I bet if you ask the people who have done it, they\u2019d probably say they liked it.\u201d<\/p>\n

To which I said; \u201cWell ask the people who died while skydiving how they feel about it and then get back to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

You see I\u2019ll jump into or out of a truck. I\u2019ll jump through hoops during tax season. I\u2019ll jump to attention when Citizen Keenan wants something. I will even jump to an occasional conclusion or two\u2026but I will never jump out of a plane.<\/p>\n

Not even for a column.<\/p>\n

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