Hey. We have a comedian here!!!!!!!!!

YUK YUK YUK...and in the future, use the CAPS key when spelling my handle dude!

Note to Youth Parent etc.

You have me confused with someone else. My son is a jr. on the Varsity team, not a freshman.

maybe you should just stick to the cop thing...CO 200 yards rushing!

PLAID LAD,

Please share with us your thoughts and feelings about tonight' game. I would be real curious as to what you and your son have to say about the loss. I am being very sincere because you always seem to be extremely insightful and I really want read your perspective.

Cop/Coach,

Is your son a better running back than Phillip? Will your son be the starting running back next year as a sophmore or does he play other positions too? Is your son going to have to wait until his senior year to be the featured running back? You too have been around the game your whole life as a player and a coach so what are your thoughts and feelings about Damien and also your son's future in the program? Is Damien's freshmen team good?

Wow what a game, what an event, what time it was at CO tonight! Both teams were winners and the game was a blast to watch! Thank goodness the refs didn't make the difference in the long run! All the smack talk and like I have said before, we just win! That's CO! I hope Glendora's Brent Marteney gets well and he can play the game he plays so well again! Best of luck in your recovery. We get the bragging rights back on the Mayor's Cup, back where it belongs. I hope the class shows on this blog and we don't hear lucky play or we had a bad night. CO's boys came to play and that they did! How 'bout them linemen, both sides of CO, they did outstanding this evening! Good job boys! Great memories for the seniors! Let's build on this and take it into next week! Another big game, Damien comes to town!

PLAID LAD...

I hear you. There were alot of "ifs" in my post. That was the point. The game is won in the trenches and Glendora will overmatch CO in this area. The "if" measured the fact that the Charger running lanes will probably be clogged all night and CO's runners will not get to the 2nd and 3rd level.

Have fun at the game! See you guys in a few weeks.

Thanks Fred , good looking out .Is it possible to block a user ? If so some investiagting should be done & block all racist comment posters .

Hey all, don't bring your racist comments to this blog. All you do is perpetuate the stereotypes.

Hi, I'm Roosevelt Alumni and I beleive everything I read. Wake up hater. Dont you know a phony post when you see it? You have lost all cred.

I BET ALL THE RACIST COMMENTS ARE POSTED FROM THE SAME GUY ....

ROSIE , TRYING TO STIR THE P O T

FRED, Something needs to be done about this poser who keeps pretending to be from Glendora. I dont want to "OUT" anyone, but this is over the line. This person insults every race and every city.

Roosevelt Alumni,
Nice of you to defend your fellow alumni but have you read what this guy comes out with. Granted the comments on ELA are unwarranted because alot of us have our roots there, at least I do and we should not forget where we came from ,but this guy has no problem knocking schools or people with a variety of names and put downs. Claims the term " we " have this and we have won that and when you have rings on your fingers, so much of the comments back towards him are justified considering he is some fair weather Freddy and a hang on to the team thats on top now , considering he is a Roosevelt alumni which no knock on them but I don't think they have won any titles lately. Oh and by the way I live in La Puente.

ROSIE POSTS @ 1 AM !!! Dude put down the pipe , GO TO BED !!! Life is short enough , I'll be your sponsor ...

THIS IS NOT FOR YOU ANYWAYS ....

THIS IS FOR LA RAZA .....

FYI :

Benito Juarez is considered one of Mexico's greatest and most beloved leaders. During his political career he helped to institute a series of liberal reforms that were embodied into the new constitution of 1857. During the French occupation of Mexico, Juarez refused to accept the rule of the Monarchy or any other foreign nation, and helped to establish Mexico as a constitutional democracy. He also promoted equal rights for the Indian population, better access to health care and education, lessening the political and financial power of the Roman Catholic church, and championed the raising of the living standards for the rural poor.

PROUD TO BE COMPARED ...

THANKS ROSIE !!!

Controlling the clock

We all know that COHS is gauging an upset win against GHS tonight. For that to happen Big Lou will need to control the clock and his boys will have to out play GHS at 11 positions.

Coach P on the otherhand will make good use of the clock with his ground game. Weather permitting Coach P will also unleash Kid Kaluzny's short and long game.

With the force generated by (Stryker's) GHS's Mighty-D...CO's offensive efforts will derail. Look for Bowdry, Kovar, C. Young and Horn to have big games tonight as they sweep CO's backfield.

FYI: CO (QB)Allen will learn early what worked for him in the last fews weeks is now working against him. Failed not, because COHS defense will come ready to battle, but will prove by the fourth quarter they are not "battle hard" enough to stop GHS's offensive front line and stout running attack. In the end, GHS will dominate the game clock and the game.

GHS by 30+

PLAID LAD

Response to: Cop/Coach

Gotta disagree with your assessment of the COHS(Snowden and Crespo) getting by our (GHS) deep backs on D. There are alot of "If's" in that statement. I know for a fact that Snowden and Crespo combined do not have the wheel speed of Nichols. In fact no one we have played will or will play has his speed. Unless things have changed in the last two weeks of competition, Snowden and Crespo will both have their hands full tonight.

Additionally, beating our LB crew at what they do best will be a tall order to complete for no matter who we pit against. No doubt this is sure to be one to remember.

Best of luck on your game this week.

PLAID LAD

All the Latinos love to jump on Roosevelt74. I know a couple of you bashers personally and if I were you I'd shut the hell up with the cholo comments and the ELA putdowns. Most of you transplants came from where? Some of your kids would fit right in at Roosevelt. And you know who you are. Silencio por favor. You ain't scoring and pocho points with the USC references. Trojan Man you're the worst kiss ass, no life, where's the party I'll bring the BBQ carne asada eating cara de Benito Juarez wanna be of them all. Have you read your posts? I can't wait until my mijo puts on the plaid. Oh yeah he's only 2 years old. Pull your head out of Glendora's cultural ass THEY DON"T PLAY NICE! Ask the African American family with the Glendora welcoming ornament set fire on their lawn. Body armour jokes coming from Bishop Amat when you send your kids to a place that has more homicides per square mile than Roosevelt's neighborhood ever has. Look it up. Valinda, La Puente, Bassett rank top 10 in the US in aggavated assaults and homicides. Name another Catholic Souther California school that can make that claim? And don't mention Verbum Dei they own Bishop in terms serving their community's needs.

Hey Glendora.. The last 2 posts were from that lady in San Dimas.. She always refers to route 66 as Alosta. CO has more class than that.

rooseveltalum74,

Your hatred towards anyone well-to-do is evident in your non-intelligent posts.

You think anybody takes what you say seriously?

To: SGVfan- you r right. The rivalry between San Dimas & Northview is starting to be worse then NHS & Covina. San Dimas is so cocky, it fuels our athletes and fans... and its obvious they don't have class by the pictures of last nights volleyball game.

re PLEASE

You are a idiot of the worse kind. You say your kid plays for Glendora and you hope CO beats your son's team?

Are you insane? Why not move your kid over to CO where YOU belong? If your son really is a starter for Glendora, I'd be ashamed to have a parent like you.

Based on all measureable facts, predictions, power ratings, skill positions, etc...

GLENDORA: 49
CHARTER OAK: 6

Glendora is just way to much for CO to handle this early in the season. At this stage, Glendora could beat any team in the valley. Freemans Power Ratings seems to agree.

u 2

CO 35
GT 21

The reason this glendora/CO game is so hard to pick is because in a rivarly game anything can happen. Perfect example is the NV vs SD game last year, even though these two teams are not officially rivals ask anyone from either school and they will say they are, NV came out fired up and beat SD but later went on to lose to Pomona so anything can happen so my pick is going to be CO because for once they are the underdogs in this rivarly and i believe Allen has a hell of a game.

Rosie,

No wonder it smells the way it does in East LA if everyone does everything out of both sides of their @$$ like you guys talk.

One time you say
When you have a couple of rings on your fingers well then you can start talking
but then you say
Funny how the programs that cant get past the first levels are the ones that make the most noise.
then
Its easy to tell who is from Glendora, Damien ,Amat etc.

How contradictory was all of that?

Now you're first sentence may or may not be true, but that's not really here nor there. Yards against Rosemead (no offense Trojan Man) is not the same as yards against O-Lu. He'd still be playing behind Wagner, who had 200+ against Los Osos. McB didn't want to play 2nd fiddle and would be contributing and certainly would look good of Wagner can't go - but he would not be as effective taking those big hits against Los Osos, O0Lu, or Hart. Sure like to have him back, but....

Other losses were not as significant ...really. The lancers would be 0-3 anyway. It's not the same..honest.

Now losing the one to South Hills hurt, even though they are struggling. And I don't hear many talking about their demise or collapse, or that they'll never be the same. Oh, that's right, they are just playing a tough schedule...too!

It's no surprise that the decision that came down in June with him went the way it did in light of this story that was in the news at the very same time in Florida with a Top Ten HS team in the nation
http://blogs.usatoday.com/preprally/2007/07/sex-scandal-may.html
look into that case more..very similiar..and it turned into a BIG mess.

Events like that may be an everday occurance and no big deal at Roosevelt. But you gotta commend amat for having some standards. If the kid learns from this he wins in the long run. And so do the lancers because the younger kids know that there are consequences.

I AM THE ORIGINAL BLEEDS BLUE AND GOLD...

Trojan Man,
Those East Los boys have a habit of going at each others throats before they after others. If Rosie 75 has any sense, he will tell 74 to stop acting like the horses patoot that he is.

TO Please. Your blogg is what makes Glendora look bad.

Bleeds Blue & Gold ..how long before Rosie 75 comes out & BLASTS us for messing with Rosie 74 ?

I AM THE ORIGINAL BLEEDS BLUE AND GOLD...

Teddys horses @$$ 74,

I forgot to say, you sound like that idiot, Iron Eagle, aka Rubber Chicken, aka Walking Turkey that was talking trash a few weeks ago.

Tom Flores? HA! Now who is the REAL loser you Raider fan? It's easy to see who you like on Sundays, LOSER!

Just for you nuckle heads that responded my son does play for Glendora and is a STARTER. He and his freinds are sick of all the trash talk that the PARENTS and wanabes are saying. Glendors is awsome just STOP talking crap on the bloggg it makes us look bad.

I AM THE OIGINAL BLEEDS BLUE AND GOLD...

Roughrider74, you are one funny guy. Those who left Amat did so on their own. One QB left before the other because they both thought they were Pat Haden reincarnated and so far they are not living up to what they thought they would do. McBride is carrying them so far and if he goes down well....

Also look at South Hills, they were #1 in the valley and have dropped the first two games, so what's happening there wise guy?

So keep your sense of humor, I guess you need it when you go to the DAY games at your alma mater because who in the hell would want to be in those neighborhoods at night without body armor on?

teddy r 74
So tell me rosie what program do you associate yourself with that has rings on their fingers. Why bag on the Tartan fans for being excited about their season so far when you state LA will run the table after being 2-0 same as Glendora. Don't you remeber what happened to LA last year. Here is a hint COIN TOSS.Do us all a favor and just stick to city teams like your alma mater and leave the SGV to us . Believe me we will be fine without the venom you are always spewing.

OOOOOOHHHH NO !!! Somebody get the Pepto Bismol Rosie is in the house with DIAHREA OF THE MOUTH AGAIN !!! Come on DUDE , STOP , GET A LIFE , I bet you are the same CLOWN saying Fred needs to start some controvery , AGAIN THIS IS NOT TMZ.COM
Are you the Bandwagon driver ... for Los Altos if so , FOCUS ON THE ROAD , and don't WORRY about Glendora . Best of Luck to your team this week , I WILL ADMIT LOs Altos IS GOOD , but WOULD GET WHACKED BY GLENDORA ....PERIOD .

JOHN MADDEN HOF

TOM FLORES ???

The fact that Los Altos is going to run the table this year only proves that AMAT is messing with truly legit kids and not able to evaluate good talent.

To all the excited Glendora fans out there if the season were two games lonng you would be champs. We all rise to our own level of incompetency. your a 7-3 team this year at best and hey thats not too shabby.

When you have a couple of rings on your fingers well then you can start talking

Funny how the programs that cant get past the first levels are the ones that make the most noise.

And the bloggers that are associated with these programs are easy to point out, they are allways
acting the same, like grown up hall monitors.

Its easy to tell who is from Glendora, Damien ,Amat etc.

TOM FLORES is still the Raiders best coach.

My turn to weigh in.

I like Glendora over CO. Why? I think that CO's offense gets bogged down versus the Tartan D. If Snowden or Crespo can get into the secondary, they can outrun the Glendora LBs and DBs. They just have to get there. That will be the problem.

If Damien plays Los Altos like they played Claremont, the Conq's will destroy them. The same thing goes for the next 2 games (against CO and Glendora. I think Los Altos wins (with apologies to my son) by 2 TDs.

Me? I will have a blast watching games these next few weeks filled with kids I know and have coached.

Here's to some great football action with no injuries and class kids who play hard and can look each other in the eye after the games with pride in their performance and respect for their opponent.

Mike the Clone come out, come out wherever you are. Just showing some love for you Mikie. It's not the same with out your daily rants.
Any Clone sightings anyone?

h.s. football fanz-witness the re-birth of Barry Sanders-go 2 youtube.com and puch in "ANTHONY BROWN 07"-he's phenomenal!!!!Alhambra h.s running back-he's sick wit it!!!!!!!!

Former Coach, Why did you respond at all? Your posts are back handed at best. You know nothing yet you keep yapping. Even your insults are weak. This is my last post regarding the topic. Do the same.

WHITE FLAG. As in white flag I COME IN PEACE or WHITE FLAG as in Witch hunts? Lawsuits? Simply absurd. You paying for her lawyers? You're an ignoramous. You seem like the worst of the Glendorians . You talk without thinking and knee jerk response when my response was both apologetic and consoling towards the family. What part of my comment offended you. Clearly nothing of what i said would have offended anyone in Coach K's family or loved ones. See you've continued this dialouge when ALL I said was LET IT GO! People talk , he wasn't perfect and the true measure of a man is how he handles adversity. Grow a set, shut up and leave it alone. Sooner or later, the longer this goes on someone will reference facts about his mistakes and all hell will break loose. Let the man rest in peace that ignorant comment would have died on the vine after Mrs. K response. I'm finished with this topic. Try and do something nice and some a##hole stokes the fire. Have a good game kid your Dad is watching. Peace

Claudia Karnoski at September 19, 2007 12:41 AM

Great job Claudia...

Anybody who really knows this family, knows what they went through.

Dean was a GREAT man and Claudia was there every step of the way... She was the glue that held that family together for many years!

Long Live the KARNO FAMILY...

We love you!

Former Coach knows Anonymous@10:35? Kissing Up?

Former Coach...Let the person have his say? Let things die on the vine? Yet your preaching is ok? You accept what was written? You never "meet the man and in truth dont know his story". You dont know what your talking about. Thanks for the laugh.. Shame on you....

RE: please at September 19, 2007 08:55 AM

GET OVER IT! GET A LIFE OR TRANSFER YOUR SON TO WINNING SCHOOL. YOU CAN ALWAYS ADOPT A WINNING SCHOOL AND SUPPORT THEM!

:)

White flag. Get a life. Let things die on the vine. Coach K was not a perfect man. Mrs. K alluded to that in her response. I never meet the man and in truth don't know his story but the truth is no one is perfect. Maybe Coach K's greatest legacy is the way he conducted himself through his greatest crisis. It's obvious he made an impact on people's lives, had a wife and family who love and miss him dearly and is still a part of the Glendora community long after he passed away. I think that's a pretty good deal. Instead of stoking the fire, and this goes to everyone, let the person have his say. He's probably not the only one who won't let it go. If Coach K made a mistake and people were hurt it only proves he's human. While on the other hand if Coach K conducted himself with the courage that's been expressed here than clearly he was a hero in the end. Best wishes to The K family and God bless you all.

Step it up ....STEP OFF. This is the SGV HS FOOTBALL BLOGS ....NOT TMZ.COM . No need for controversy here ...Fred is doing just fine .

Fred your doing a great job so far, but their is a controversy factor missing here. I hate to compare you to Aram, but Aram knew how to push exactly the right buttons to get a reaction or an answer out of a coach, school, or just create a good blog topic. Its the same stuff week in and week out right now ..Its getting repetative. Mix it up a little bit. WE NEED SOME CONTROVERSY!! Step it up a little bit Fred.

PLEASE,

Stop talking about the so called "low" quality of the teams Glendora plays and then you won't have to hear those Glendora Fans having to respond to your STUPIDITY!

What you need is a wining team to support, LOSER!

Just a short note to let people know how SPECIAL this Glendora team is . I am NOT a GHS grad ,My Family moved to Glendora a couple of years back . A couple of weeks ago before the season started a few GHS players were selling discount cards in my neighborhood & I was talking with them about the football season . WHAT A GREAT GROUP OF YOUNG MEN . RESPECTFUL , WELL SPOKEN , AND KNOWLEGEABLE about local teams & football . NOT bragging about their team @ ALL . They knew it was A LONG ROAD ahead of them but were anixious to start it . The next week I went to the freshman game against Covina ...WOW , WHAT SUPPORT . I anxiously await my son being able to play @ GHS . I HOPE he becomes what these young men ARE . I coached @ a few High Schools in the SGV mid to late 90's , and sad to say MOST kids had very little respect for adults .GLENDORA PARENTS BE PROUD , in MY opinion not only are the coaches & players @ GHS doing an excellent job this season , your work as parents prior to this season has been ALL CIF PARENTING .

If Bishop Amat doesn't win this week, they could easily be 0-8 by Halloween.

PLEASE Charter Oak beat Glendora!!! IM SICK of hearing all this smack talk about Gledora on how good they think they are get them off this blogg..... or slow them down a bit... I cant belive how happy they are for winning 2 games one against Covina we know about Covina and Ediwand good win but dam get off your high horse. The smack talkers for South Hills stoped that was good news. All the BS from the blogger SH ALL DAY is gone...

TM..That post was most likely from a woman and the Glendora faithful suspect who.... Mrs. Karnowski, In the post 9-11 era, email, blogs, anything dealing with the internet can be traced. I will see you at the game and explain your options. You have rights and that post was clearly over the line. You may pursue civil action, I would.

hey QBwtchr/sgvwtchr!

you got to be kidding! you'll eat your words after the game. covina and etiwanda looked bad because glendora looked so good. covina and etiwanda could not execute anything because of the tartan d. co will have the same problem. the tartan d will score more points than co. hell, they have already scored 14 points in two games and the D starters are pulled during the 3rd qtr. you obvisiously have not gone to any glendora games.

Have some decency.

I can't believe what I am hearing on this blog. Claudia Karnowski is a single mom raising 3 kids.
Dean inspired many, many kids and continues to inspire after his death with his motto "Be the Best" which the program had adopted.

I don't need to be here to protect the Karnowski legacy, cause quite frankly, it doesn't need me or anybody else to do that. The legacy lives on because of the greatness of the man and his spirt which continues through his son Travis who plays on the Tartan team. That is why I am writing this now. Travis is a wonderful young man who's courage I deeply admire. I often speak with Travis and enjoy watching his intensity on the football field. He has the tenacity of a pit bull and, thats for sure.

Every school has their hero, and Karnowski is Glendora's. His name echo's through the halls with great pride!

BE THE BEST

FANatic has left the Blog!

LISTEN,

You guys keep forgetting one very important factor. CO is not a better team over last year. No way. Glendora BEAT them last year when CO had super studs to spare. CO was in the CIF championships. This years Glendora team is exceptionally better than last years team. Were speaking a Freeman Power ranking of 51 in the state - leading all SGV teams. All prep football analysis are picking Glendora over CO with some expecting a slaughter. How can any legit person on this blog pick CO?

Talk all you want about Covina and Etiwanda. But you same blogers will be back on after the CO game saying that CO was weak and the REAL test will be WEST RANCH. Then after that Tartan victory you'll cry no the real test will be El Dorado then after that Tartan victory, and so on.....

You can say what you want on the Blog, the Tartans speak on the field.

SGVPride I hope you never have to watch your father or a loved one lay in a bed, have to be fed, have his diaper changed, breathe on a respirator, can't talk, can't move and be locked in a hell for seven years...I feel sorry for people like you...what a shallow shallow person...shame on you! All of you on this blog need to take a look at the shallow things you write...if you really knew what this family experienced you wouldn't be so shallow as to degrade this man's memory..remember his son plays on the team now and reads this blog...do you think he needs to hear these type of things when he has experienced and still is experiencing the pain of losing his father! And you who are so quick to judge his other son as a drunken failure...well we will see..the son I saw play had heart and after he gets through the pain he is suffering through I predict you will see a great man who will follow in his father's footsteps...a man who worked hard for everything he had... a man who was a great father...a man who had values...a man who developed character in men who played football... yes he made some mistakes but don't we all...Winning is not what is important...what you learn from the game is what matters most....what kind of person you are when you walk off that field is the most important value... no one is perfect and last time I checked we only have one judge...That is God!!!! And unlike you I am not a coward to sign my name.....Claudia Karnoski

there should be a weekly stat thing. saying who is leading the valley in every major catagorie. if there isnt already one

you have to take the good and the bad and karnoski had a lot of bad baggage, including being fired at glendora and citrus for money scams and his son is a drunken failure.

I Was at both of the games for Glendora. Game one against Covina was pathetic ya Glendora Looked good but they looked great because Covina was so terrible. Etiwanda game Same thing besides Etiwanda looked a little better then Covina. Etiwanda was over hyped.

This week is a different story. Charter Oak is a much better football team then Etiwanda and Covina combined.

Prediction: Glendora 17
Charter Oak 28

Charter Oak won everywhere but on the scoreboard against Upland and in hindsight probably learned more from losing. Regardless the game is over and ultimately Glendora is a much better team than Upland and again if Charter Oak won Friday night that would be considered an upset. This is the year of the Tartans and for many years Charter Oak has dominated the rivalry but this is probably going to be Glendora's year to celebrate their success not just this week but for many weeks to come leading into the playoffs. Charter Oak whether they win Friday night or not has been very successful for a long time not just in this game but overall for many years. So let Glendora enjoy some recognition and rewards for something they have been long over due to have and that is winning a league championship and getting past the first round in the playoffs. Remember Charter Oak was a league champion and C.I.F. Finalist last year and has other league championships and C.I.F. Final appearances and C.I.F. Championship RINGS! When was the last time Glendora could say that and there's no guarantee that going to occur this year! Everyone should support the entire E.S.G.V. and besides after Friday night Charter Oak fans will want Glendora to be a C.I.F. Champion! So many of these kids on both teams have been competing together for years and last year Charter Oak did their best to represent the Valley and this year Glendora hopefully you will be so fortunate to have the opportunity to play in "The Show" for "The Ring"! Good luck young men your families will be cheering for you win, lose, or tie! We are proud of each of you!

Anonymous at Sept 18 at 7:41 am,
Didn't say Etiwanda is a push over, for all I know they may be as good as Upland, but their 33 to 6 loss to Serano Phelan takes away a little luster from their resume [although Phelan is a perenial D8 power].
Either way it sounds as if Glendora beat them impressively, my point was more on C.Oak being able to hang with Upland until a couple of bad breaks in the last minutes, without those bad breaks, is C.Oak as good as Upland? If so then it will be a great game this Friday.

Trojan man,
I've always been an SC fan since I was a kid,
Its just that I like to see UCLA do good when they aren't playing the Trojans this way it makes SC look better when they do beat the Bruins.

I always look to see who Rosemead plays each week and I also have a good grasp on all teams around. But damn, I never heard of the school they played last week.

jimeniz , I am on here rooting for RHS . Let em win a FEW MORE then we can start the bandwagon . Good Lookin Out though . GREAT WIN LAST WEKK PANTHERS . BEAT THE VIKINGS !!!

DANG!! Rosemead gets no love from the Trib. I think the N-View game is gonna be a battle with the 'Mead pulling out a victory with help from their D.

GO PANTHERS!!!

rgd,
I was speaking about the years leading up to the merger. I apologize if using the word ass hurt your feelings but you used the word class which has the word I used in it. I'm sorry but that is the way I speak at times but come on, this is nothing more than a meaningless blog that allows us all to blow off some steam after a good days work. Sorry if I offended you.

Haven't disappeared - hear daily...almost. However, unlike most claims, amat supporters don't "hijack" other threads. Only when the topic turns.

Right now, the GHS/CO game is the talk of the valley and SHOULD occupy this grey space. Sad to say as that may be for the lancer faithful. I hope that the game lives up to the billing with two adjacent attendance areas.

Good luck to both

We maybe down for now but still have some unfinished business to attend. We have 7 more games to go. Although, I was expecting to be at 1-2 and not 0-3 before the Rancho game. It will probably be a long season for the Lancers. Interesting to see if any major changes will take place if the Lancers fall below .500 at the end of the season?

Way to kick a program when they are DOWN . Amat is on a downer for now , let them be .It will take a little time but they will be back ...

JUST LIKE UCLA !!!

The regular Amat supporters have disappeared along with their ability to win. I'll give them the win this week, nut that will be it for a LOOOOONG time.

TO: STOP EMBARASING GLENDORA..I think its Charter Oak parents trying to get their kids pumped up. Only a poser would behave that way. UNBELIEVABLE!! A new low. ha ha ha No wonder Big Lou said NO!!ha ha ha....Charter Oakie parents, WOW ha ha ha

Chargers bring the Tartans down to reality.

CO 21
Glendora 20

Tartan Pride, Panther Fan? And whatever else you call yourself..You have a lot of 'Spirit' Maybe a little too much. You sound like a poser. You need to step it down a notch and have some respect for other people and programs. Tell me, why do you behave like a baffoon?

They need to hire a NEW coach and restore order!

jfr,
i have more class than you do so i wont talk like you, you said lou was the coach at ro during the years they beat up on co, he wasnt the head coach till 83, so i hope you realise you were wrong, i never said he wasnt coach when they merged,they beat up on co for years prior to that, and also, nothing against lou at all, he is one of the best 3 coaches in the valley in my opionin

WOW -- WHERE HAVE ALL THE AMAT REGULARS GONE?

NOBODY RESPONDED TO MY LAST POST so here goes again ...Any pre game festivities in the Glendora area for Tartan Fans ...???

TM

I LOVE all this talk about Friday Nights game!

The Tartans defense is so amazing that they would probuly put up more points than CO's offense the whole game...look for Glendora to retain the mayors trophy in a lopsided victory...

by the way big panther...experiance is a very important trait that a team needs to be successful, but a team also needs skills to pull through when when they are facing an equaly matched team...Glendora has all league talent on both offense and defense. CO would be lucky to even put up a fight against Glendora.

Amat 0-3? Maybe they should suit up McCutcheon for the game and call back Minor and Huma. These are sad days lancer fans

Let's not forget...Glednora was not overhyped last year!Aram had them going soemthing like 5-5 and they were not even ranked originally!Plus, the team had to fill wholes at almost every position!They still had a great year managing a 7-3 record behind the wheels of Jordan Edmond and a young stingy defense....Now, the defense has returned 8 or 9 starters at key positions and offensively, have an experienced back in Vega with a poised quarterback wise way past his years...

This season the Tartans deserve the hype...

Its up to them what they want to do with it..

big panther

And one other thing, Glendora did not fall like a brick wall last season. They had a very descent 7-3 season record beating the number one teams 4 different leagues!

big panther,

Appreciate your post, but you say you like CO over Glendora for their "Experience" and "Staff"?

Against any other opponent, I would agree. You probally didn't know that Glendora is returning as much experience and probally even more than Charter Oak.

As far as Coaching, Farr et al is without a doubt a top notch coach. But, again, are you overlooking Coach Pasky? Coach P. is undeniably among the top coaches in SGV.

Your last comment was re the home field advantage. That doesn't work well against Glendora as the Tartan supporters traveling almost always cover more bench space than home teams do. Have you been to any Glendora games away?

Good luck, but, I believe all credible sources have Glendora beating CO and some expect a real whipping!

Fred,
Glendora has a long way to go to show people that they can play week to week with other teams. I'm a Diamond Ranch fan and we have the same situation with our team . We have to show everyone that we can be ready every week. Glendora was hyped last year but fell like a brick wall. I like charter oak over glendora because of their expierience and their staff plus their at home.

Glendora would have to screw up pretty badly for CO to have even the slightest chance. I don't see that happening with this well oiled Tartan machine. I think QB Allen will be saked at least 4 times. Look for Tartan D to outscore the Chargers.

Coach Karno was an excellent coach who led Glendora to CIF glory, later in life he fought a brave battle against ALS....why would anyone ignore this coachs skill and not admit that he was one of the greatest coaches (if not the greatest coach) in Glendora football history. The 2007 Tartans will prove that they deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as the 1989 CIF team. The presnet teams defense will take them to the promised land.

I like Jimmy the Greeks score with Glendora over CO. 31-7 is right there with the defense we have. We will spank CO bad.

What a complete a--hole.

Karno was a great man and his fight with ALS taught us all lessons of life.

Ask your Coach Billy what he thought of Dean!

Amat will lose again. Dominique Austin is out with a apparent Knee Injury and is on crutches. Marcus Wagner is also out with what appears to be a ankle sprain. They will have to dig deep to pull this win out...Rancho 21 Amat 13

Glendora is going to wipe the floor with CO this week. Its not even going to be a fair contest, anyone who begs to differ is blind to the facts. Glendora is the best in the valley as they will go undefeated throughout league play.

Karno BASHING , leave it & him ALONE . HE IS GONE Long Live Coach P . This is OUR YEAR ...

LET IT GO

Dan at September 17, 2007 06:45 PM

Having a hard time following your post.

Charter Oak lost to Upland and Glendora beat Etiwanda. So you give kudos to CO and question Glendora's strength? Anybody can lose to a tough team, but you must credit a team that wins regardless of the challenge. Etiwanda is no push over. CO would have had their hands full with this team and probally would have lost.

CIF RANKINGS SUCK :(

I have more trust in the Tribunes rankings then the CIF rankings. CIF is a joke! These guys are still stuck in last season mode.

:(

I have lost all respect for CIF rankings.

Diamond Ranch ranked behind Charter Oak?
Glendora not even ranked while Damien is #9?

Isn't someone following these teams at all?

PATHETIC!!

Hey Karno Fan,
which part did you like best about those days? Dean bilking money from the program or hooking up with students?

how funny is it that two midgets are the so-called expert pundits? Two guys who could never play football and one who couldn't fit into a uniform. Let me know if you ever get someone who has played the game and I will care.

JFR/ Dan ...I am sorry . I Did not mean any harm . I too had that same feeling ,NOT so long go . I have to admit I had my doubts about PC @ first . He IS USC FOOTBALL NOW . without him....I DON'T EVEN WANT THINK WITHOUT HIM .

NO HARM NO FOUL

rgd2626,

you are starting to reveal yourself because obviously you are insinuating mussack who you worked for and were part of his coaching staff. when you mentioned names like vincino and obert did you also graduate from royal oak? did you work for any other staffs or high school programs besides royal oak? you seem to k
