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

Good Afternoon!<\/p>\n

My NCAA bracket is still perfect\u2026<\/p>\n

You want to know the secret of my success?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s simple; don\u2019t fill in your bracket until after the game is played.<\/p>\n

Duh, winning!<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Arcadia\u2019s Taylor Lagace getting a D-1 offer may be the least suprising thing I\u2019ve heard since I started covering football. Agree with another poster, I think his best position would be free safety. Congrats to him, his family, and the Apache program.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Note on Fouls: I agree there are some fouls that shouldn\u2019t be called\u2026but if some are committed with such stupidity they must be called on principle alone.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Do you think if I can convince you to look the other way I could carefully slip off the New York Knicks bandwagon?<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Oh I have always been a Virginia Commonwealth fan!<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

When, now former, Mets southpaw Oliver Perez is owed 12 million dollars you know things have to be wrong financially in this country.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

The first thing I noticed at the El Monte-Rosemead baseball game on Friday was the sound of the ball coming off the bat. With the move away from the composite bats, it will be interesting to see what happens to the numbers in local baseball.<\/p>\n

No juiced players, no juiced bats, sounds like era of renaissance for the pitchers.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

MVL Totals<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mission Valley League schools with former players in the big leagues:<\/p>\n

El Monte: 5<\/p>\n

Rosemead: 2<\/p>\n

Mt. View: 2<\/p>\n

Arroyo: 1<\/p>\n

South El Monte: 0<\/p>\n

Gabrielino: 0<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Go Butler!<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Last Add Fouls: I\u2019m tired of seeing great players exit games because of foul trouble. We all no the bucks rule, no revelation there, so can\u2019t the advertisers put some pressure on basketball at all levels to eliminate the foul out rule?<\/p>\n

Five fouls and a bonus (3 free throws)\u2026Not five fouls and disqualification\u2026In fact not only will I give you five fouls and a bonus, but bring your dog around and I\u2019ll give him a bonus too.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

The first four-way toss is three weeks away.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Note to San Gabriel HC Jude Oliva: I got nothing but love for you, but an apology is in order.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

What happened to that St. John\u2019s run everybody was talking about?<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

The Ohio State basketball team needs to be investigated for illegal tattoos.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

The number one name in girls softball is: Andy.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Northview\u2019s Chris Auxier and Marquise Thomas will be playing on Saturday\u2019s next fall. Lineman Auxier is going to Nebraska to play for Chadron State while running back Thomas will attend New Mexico Highlands.<\/p>\n

Congrats to them and Vikings HC Marcel Perez.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Maranatha Fan: (concedes) \u201cYes, I believe the Olympic will be a four-way race in 2011. But we have the best quarterback.\u201d<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Last Add Northview: Did you know that Larry Wylie, a standout trenchman for the Vikings (1960-62) is alive and well serving as a minister in Bakersfield?<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

I was always a Duck Williams fan back in the day, so I actually feel a little partial to Notre Dame basketball\u2026Especially when they lose.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Since everyone seems to have a bracket these days (Colin Cowherd has his Rock Band brackets, Max Kellerman has his Stars In Trouble brackets) I\u2019m gonna create one of my own\u2026I just don\u2019t know what its going to be about\u2026<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Never met him in the flesh, but I think I would enjoy playing ball for Muir\u2019s Gamal Smalley\u2026<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

When I see the Jimmer play I think of \u201cThe Who\u201d; How do you think he does it? I don\u2019t know, what makes him so good!<\/em><\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Does anybody care about the NBA during March?<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

When you break the law, you break the law\u2026I\u2019m all for swift justice\u2026but with all that\u2019s going on is it really necessary to resurrect Barry Bonds and BALCO?<\/p>\n

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