« Training Camp: Bonita feeling good | Main | What to make of this? »

Cal Preps preseason football polls

Southeast Division (Div. VII)
1. South Hills, 2. Diamond Ranch, 3. Charter Oak, 4. Muir, 5. California, 6. West Covina, 7. San Gabriel, 8. Pioneer, 9. La Serna, 10. Schurr, 11. Los Altos, 12. Pasadena, 13. Alhambra, 14. Bonita, 15. Wilson, 16. Burroughs, 17. Santa Fe, 18. Arcadia, 19. Whittier, 20. Bell Gardens.

Fred's take: Just what we've been talking about, the East San Gabriel Valley starting 1, 2. 3, and if I added my two cents, Bonita would be in the top five.

Mid-Valley Division (Div. XI)
1. San Dimas, 2. Paraclete, 3. Cerritos Valley Christian, 4. South El Monte, 5. Rosemead, 6. Northview, 7. El Monte, 8. Baldwin Park, 9. Whittier Christian, 10. Monrovia, 11. Blair, 12. L.A. Baptist, 13. Covina, 14. San Marino, 15. Arroyo, 16. La Canada, 17. Temple City, 18. Duarte, 19. La Puente, 20, Sun Valley Christian

Fred's take: Yeah, Saints deserve the top spot, and Duarte is a little too far down the list. Also, I would put Northview ahead of Rosemead.

Pac-5 Division (Div. I)
1. Long Beach Poly, 2. Crespi, 3. Orange Lutheran, 4. Mater Dei, 5. Servite, 6. Esperanza, 7. Lakewood, 8. Newport Harbor, 9. Mission Viejo, 10. Los Alamitos, 11, Edison, 12. Tesoro, 13. Bishop Amat, 14. St. John Bosco, 15. Santa Margarita, 16. Loyola, 17. San Clemente, 18. Compton, 19. Notre Dame, 20, Dana Hills.

Fred's take: High ranking for Lancers considering they were 3-7 last year. For those Amat bashers, answer this, would any other team in the SGV deserve to be ranked higher in this division?

Inland Division (Division V)
1. Los Osos, 2. Upland, 3. Glendora, 4. Colony, 5. Paloma Valley, 6. Ayala, 7. Etiwanda, 8. Colton, 9. Rancho Cucamonga, 10. Damien, 11. Elsinore, 12. West Valley, 13. Arroyo Valley, 14. Alta Loma, 15. Hemet, 16. Chaffey, 17. Chino Hills, 18. Claremont, 19. Cajon, 20. Diamond Bar.

Fred's take: Tartans No. 3? What did the scouting guru put this together? The Tartans would gladly take a semifinal finish, and Damien at No. 10 might be a stretch too.

WOW Aztec writing checks you know you can't cash. Big assumptions that azusa will beat LP, not to mention Duarte??? You better check those smokes, cuz i think they're laced. Last time i checked Duarte didn't have a JV team. Could be different these days. And so what if your frosh/JV team beat everyteam in the league. Varsity is a whole different ball game and when the lights come on I doubt your boys will be able to handle the pressure. My prediction for azusa 3-7 record. They should beat Ganesha, Workman, and maybe Basset.

The Inland division no longer has the baseline league (Los Osos, Upland, etc.)

glendora big mouths are pretty quiet despite what some say hear thaey were told to shut it down.

I like your enthusiam Aztec Parent. But, you cannot possibility believe that Azusa High is going to do anything in football. When was the last time that Azusa High has won a CIF football game?

The Montview League has not been any good, since Charter Oak, Baldwin Park, and San Dimas left. The Montview League will continue to be weakest league in the area.

aztec parent
You spirt is admirable but lets face it azusa is winning against crappy teams. Ever drive thru azusa? Make sure you have bullet proof vehicle

We must be the step child. We don't even have a School Team Page.

GO Falcons...

freshman and jv teams means nothing. duarte is a small school all the good player play var early. So be happy with that JV championship banner you have hanging in your weight room. but i hope you have a great season cus your not going to beat duarte sorry.

You couldn't even make the team there (not saying much).

AZUSA has a great sports programs for the kids who play baseball and AZUSA RAIDERS FOOTBALL there.

I'll guaranteed you they'll whip the little sisters of poor!

AZUSA Baseball team won the league and went to the second round of the cif- playoffs.

They will win the football league this year also.

Ask me how I know? Well let me tell you, AZUSA has won the freshmen and jv teams the last three years in a row, and this year won't be any different! AZUSA will win duarte and la puente! GUARANTEED! (chingo)

little sisters of the poor could beat Azusa and La Puente

Go Falcons.. Duarte will beat the likes of Azusa and La Puente. Thats what we call easy money.....

Falcon Pride...

Interesting comment CO Bro not one of them so far have mention anything about their team, it's 24/7 Aram and mike the clone and those guys are not even around anymore. I agree the bar has been raised and getting to the second round this year is highly unlikely. Then again it lowers the bar back to that little comfy zone these posters are used to.

league championships are a big deal in glendora NOT cif championships look at these goofs they still dont realize they raised their own bar last season.

sooooo booooyyyyeeeessssssssss
Glendsnora was in the semis or da finals of cif when???????????????????????????????I CANT HERE UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU waitin for da answer
HOLLA DOWN SOUTH CUZ W CANT HERE UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

and they are back..

and they are back..

Someone from Glendora post under the name SURVIVAL.
Now thats funny!

i think i saw da clone shut down once in four year or five years and it wasnt by some puke butt from glendora whos team has only won one league championship in what like ten yearz. you girls wont even cross the freeway to plays us anymore what you tire of taking a whoop ass beating from uz. oh someone got offened by somthigs so you took your ballz and went home wha wha wha good luck with upland cuz once season starts you cant be braggin about ur dream season last year and who are all them fat short guys on you web page you boys need to get in shape and grow about two feet..BOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

naw not really. i think mtc got shut down as usual.

looks like somebody at ghs gave the word to sit down and just shut up

Solid Advice.....
Advice taken!

Craving A Steak,
If this is all these LMOC's have to serve up in their fight against MTC and Aram then just let it be.
You're coming down to their level of maturity. When someone mock's mass killers, Fathers who love their sons and worse of all people with addictions and medical conditions then you know what you are dealing with.
So I think Mike the Clone and Aram would advise you to just walk a way.
You exposed these boys from Glendora for what they really are. Classless little kids.
Remember their own writings are here for everyone to see and they speak volumes about some of the people close to and associated with Glendora football.
Just my advice take it or leave it.

Words to live by for the following original thinkers.

Real Estate 101
OH MTC
clever little thoughts
gotta be
Back on topic
MTC-IT'S ALMOST 10:00
HOOK EM MTC

"and i thought Jim Jones had his followers....one tip guys...DON'T DRINK THE KOOL AID!

and yes mr. i'm offended by things i randomly am offended by...i just made fun of a mass murderer and people too stupid to think for themselves...oh wait...there were a couple of Jonesites who did escape.....THAT EXPLAINS IT!!!!!"

SAYYYYY WHAT?

you seem to know a lot of mtc.
craving a steak is mtc or a.t. wanna bet??

this is about preseason polls not some fool named mike the clown. move on people and back to the original topic.

and i thought Jim Jones had his followers....one tip guys...DON'T DRINK THE KOOL AID!

and yes mr. i'm offended by things i randomly am offended by...i just made fun of a mass murderer and people too stupid to think for themselves...oh wait...there were a couple of Jonesites who did escape.....THAT EXPLAINS IT!!!!!

hes just makin gledora proud

Crave,
This is the one that gets me from Mr. Hollier Than Thou... Man of Morality and Honor.
"I ACTUALLY HAD TO WORK HARD TODAY"
So what.....on other days you screw your Boss and and actually have no problem taking your full paycheck home.
What a guy!
A fine representative of our friends north of the freeway

So lets do a little posting breakdown...
"MTC IS LAYING LOW AND TRUTH BE TOLD"
Truth be told...
Mike the Clone has not made an appearance since three weeks ago when he held his love feast with the other blog old farts.
"I AM JUST TOO DAMN TIRED TO CALL HIM ON HIS CR!@ TODAY."
Suggestion quit spending so much time on your obsession. Ask yourself is it all worth it. This Hoyd guy at Wilson is getting hammered and your here battling with Mike the Clone who probably doesn’t give a rip about you and the stupid silly stuff that obviously only matters to you and your alias's.
"I ACTUALLY HAD TO WORK HARD TODAY AND ALTHOUGH MY JOB ALLOWS ME FREEDOM TO PERUSE WHEN DUTY CALLS."
Oh so you do have a job!
Good for you! Hope it's not around kids. And I hope it has nothing to do with football or character because you know nothing about neither.
"MTC - I MAY BE OUT BUT DOWN COUNT ME OUT OF THE GAME YET."
Great, I'm sure the Clone has just wet his pants!
BEER MAN!
No thanks! Never have drank so why start now. But you my friend should go back on your med’s sounds like you have been off them for a couple of days now.
Oh by the way did you know the GHS football web page has a video link on it. That should make you incensed. We all know how you are about watching old game video.
See you at picture day and remember to smile.

MTC IS LAYING LOW AND TRUTH BE TOLD, I AM JUST TOO DAMN TIRED TO CALL HIM ON HIS CR!@ TODAY. I ACTUALLY HAD TO WORK HARD TODAY AND ALTHOUGH MY JOB ALLOWS ME FREEDOM TO PERUSE, WHEN DUTY CALLS. MTC - I MAY BE OUT BUT DOWN COUNT ME OUT OF THE GAME YET. BEER MAN!

"I'd expect MTC's new little leash pet to be back after 10:00am or so just enough time to get home from two-a-days morning session and coach meetings"

Nice call Craving! 9:55 not bad at all.

Leash boy back for his daily beating opps I mean feeding.

Oh trust me -- MTC is all over this blog.Whether he is in Oregon or Tuscon, it makes no difference. Funny he makes his comments about being obsessed YET HE is the one blogging at 5:30A.M. (or loverboy - A.T.) and then a few hours later. AGAIN - who is leading who here? I like to think I have him on his leash -or just a dumb dog that keeps running in a circle chasing his own tail!! Again as I predicted, he will post soon, please know he is using OTHER names as well BUT it is all the same writing. Off to read about Muir... let's see if mikey has been there.. this has been a kick - that's for sure.

At practice until 10:00 or 11:00

Where's little Bow Wow at?

Just talked to Monica who told me that Mike is in Corvalis Oregon this week.
He's been pretty busy and didn't know if he was reading the blog or posted.

Azusa? did you say Azusa? Azusa? Does Azusa even have a football team? I know they don't have a football coach. How about players? Are they still confused trying to figure out why the football is not round and no one is shouting gooooooal? Please. Azusa will not win their own weak league. I will put my money on Gladstone . Any takers?

I'd expect MTC's new little leash pet to be back after 10:00am or so just enough time to get home from two-a-days morning session and coach meetings.
Starts up until about 4:30 then stops in time for the second day session then comes back late in the evening

"JUST BECAUSE WE COMMENT ON YOU DOES NOT, NOT MEAN WE GIVE YOU MUCH THOUGHT."

Day four of the thoughts continue...rememeber he's in your head constantly

Have a great practice and check in after your done let us know how it goes.I'm sure MTC cant wait.
How's Kluzney throwing.And your defense looking Good?
And please watch the language in your post it drawing notice of the booster club.

wELL, I take credit for 2 of the 3 posts, sometime I HAVE MORE TO ADD. As I suspected MTC came back and couldn't wait to respond. Being a fisherman, MTC is what we call EASy BAIT - HOOK EM. Just throw out the initials and HE'S BACK. Yep, he sure has US on a leash. wtf IS THAT ALL ABOUT. Now AT, MTC, pay attention - I will be checking in throughout the day - but again PAY ATTENTION to the different subjects everyone is talking about.

"JUST BECAUSE WE COMMENT ON YOU DOES NOT, NOT MEAN WE GIVE YOU MUCH THOUGHT."

Hummm posting three times within ten minutes last night,there goes that theory about GIVING MUCH THOUGHT.
You MTC clonies I'd say have found yourself a nice little whipping boy.

I have always suspected mike the clown and aram were secret lovers..here they are reunited again. how is the view AT?

OH MIKEY THE CLOWN BOY -- WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT SOOO MUCH MORE THAN JUST YOU, OH LITTLE ONE...YOU ARE ONE FUNNY GOOF.

"JUST BECAUSE WE COMMENT ON YOU DOES NOT, NOT MEAN WE GIVE YOU MUCH THOUGHT.

And for the last two days your thoughts have been about......................

little thoughts... big observation...yes mtc is in my head but you're up his a$$. I 'll take my view anyday.

remember the 3 most important things in real estate....location, location location.

enjoy the view.

You know what is really funny?? THAT YOU, MIKE THE CLONE, you are the one that keeps coming back and responding or defending -- so really WHO IS WALKING WHO?? you keep coming back. Like so many -- i haven't left, I am what you call - multi-versed, I can focus on SO MUCH MORE and I have and YOU, MTC, you keep coming back and singing the same ole song.. SO I ASK AGAIN, WHO IS WALKING WHO?? It must be your turn - again. YOU ARE ONE DUMB SUCKA. Your turn -

"JUST BECAUSE WE COMMENT ON YOU DOES NOT, NOT MEAN WE GIVE YOU MUCH THOUGHT.

And for the last two days your thoughts have been about.................MTC in your head.

MTC notice the time stamps on this guy.

Craving A Steak. You're so funny. What happened? You miss kissing the BMOC aS$ from your high school days so much you adopted mtc? dud you really do need to grow your own set.

about amat having a 1-9 season

"JUST BECAUSE WE COMMENT ON YOU DOES NOT, NOT MEAN WE GIVE YOU MUCH THOUGHT.

And for the last two days your thoughts have been about......................

MTC's not only owns this dude but he's got a collar on him walking him like a little bi#ch right in front of everybody he even feeds him steak to chew on and he takes it and comes back more which is even more funny

HOW CLEVER -- CRAVING A STEAK IS EITHER MTC HIMSELF OR THE OTHER NON-IMPORTANT ONE. DUDE JUST BECAUSE WE COMMENT ON YOU DOES NOT, NOT MEAN WE GIVE YOU MUCH THOUGHT. SO SERIOUSLY -- GET OVER YOURSELF. HOWEVER, WHEN YOU POP OFF WITH YOUR COCKY, IGNORANT SELF - WE FEEL THE NEED TO LET YOU KNOW. BUT REALLY IT'S PART OF OUR HUMOR AS WELL. THERE ARE MANY , MANY MORE POSTS MUCH MORE INTERESTING THAN YOU OR THE BIG, FAT BLOW-HARD RELIVING YOUR SAD, PATHETIC GLORY DAYS. dang dude - you are clever though.... have a drink on us BUTTON-WEARERS!!!!

Why do I have this picture of Aram and Mike the Clone sitting at Ruth’s Chris steak house with these laptops enjoying a big cowboy rib-eye literally chewing the fat and smoking big fat cigars, drinking beers and laughing at all of us for all the fuss being made over them.
That guy in Glendora needs to get the Clone out of his head and I mean literally because man thats some kind of mental breakdown you be having. I feel your pain, well on second thought, No I don’t.
Somehow I think the joke is on us all.
I know one thing is for sure I’d sure like to be sitting at Ruth’s Chris with those two, but no way would I want to be picking up that tab.

Actually we had a friend, who coaches getting ripped to shreds a few years ago so don't think Aram kept a much tighter lid on it.. We begged and threatened to go to management, he said 'WHO DO YOU THINK IS OK-ing THIS?' So it seems a bit of a mangement issue and all they care about are the number of hits and advertisement. Sad to say... I hate reading any of the personal crap. i agree with most, we just need to try and ignore and figure it's un-supervised 15-16 yr.olds with too much time on their hands!!! if it matters FRED -- PLEASE TRY AND USE SOME DISCRETION AND DELETE IF 'YOU' DEEM IT INAPPROPRIATE. I can tell at the very least - you are a smarter and more decent guy than AT. Please prove to me that the management team cares more about the people!!! PLEASE

The difference in what is being said by some on the blog today is so much more out of control than what it was back in the early days of the blog. Just look at the guy at Wilson literally being ripped to threads on the blog being call a this and that. None of those early bloggers including MTC did anything close to like whats going on with that guy over there.

Well MTC, I have to agree with half of what you said --which is rare-- BUT what I find so odd and ironic is THAT YOU ARE GUILTY OF MOST OF WHAT YOU RANTED about. That is classic. My advice - take your own advice.. Try enjoying the game, instead of ripping apart every aspect of it... MTC and aram, party for 2 - that has got to be ONE CROWDED TABLE!!!! Check Please...
Try and enjoy life a bit more and especially Glendora and all the joy it brings most of us -IN GOOD TIMES AND BAD TIMES.

someone posting that old crap needs a life

Some classic MTC for you two knuckleheads just to aggravate you some more. Blu, Joe Amat,this was the Clone at his best even ragging on you guys his buddies.

Greetings, I'm Mike the clone and you are not!
Just my opinion, I have read this blog since A.T. “The Scribe��? started it. And I have to tell ya something; some of the whinnie petty nepotism crap that has been going on this year is amazing. You people at Amat, South Hills and Damien need to chill.

This is high school football. These kids are student athletes and students of the game. These kids aren’t some overpaid prima donnas jumping up and down in the end zone after a score saying, “look at me, look at me��? as they do in the National Felon League while doing some ridiculous dance routine in the end zone.
My god, I bet over half of you have never planted your asses on a dewy wet football field at seven o’clock in the morning. And I bet over half of you have never had some coach blow some air horn in your ear to tell you it’s time to bear crawl a hundred yards. Nah I bet you haven’t.
You wanna- be’s are living your dreams through your kids. You are the ones who couldn’t make your high school football teams so you took up coaching Junior All-American football in hopes of your kid being the next Joe Montana and he had no business playing quarterback. And I bet your the same people who get off yelling at 8 and 9 year olds for making a great stick on some 70 pound weakling playing for Snoop’s all star team..........WHACK! (Yeah that’s what I want, my 9 year old playing football and riding the full on tour coach equipped with full bar to play a pop Warner game.................................errrrrrr I don’t think so.)
I bet you’re also the same people who hang out at star bucks and discuss who just got voted off American Idol. Get a life. It’s about your kids! It’s not like your high school coach doesn’t have your kid’s best interest in hand.
You should all me ashamed of yourselves for this constant bantering back and forth and calling people out. I know I bicker here on this blog about my “Bagpipers��? but nothing to the extent that some of you do. It's called having a perspective!!! Get It!
You parents have to quit full on body slamming each other. I mean really, has it come to this? Look at yourselves ripping each other a part over what, If Cardinal Roger’s Mafia School, first year coach is valid enough to coach at your catholic school. Give me a frecking break! You maybe be family but who wants to be in your myopic tunnel of love with you bunch of crybabies. And you parents over at Damien and South Hills quit whining about your programs, both are above average.
You should have been at the Duarte game last week. Their bench had what, two kids on the sideline. Those kids were out there banging heads going both ways. You Amat, South Hills and Damien folks should be thankful for what you have. The kids at Duarte aren’t spoiled like some of you. Those kids played with heart and a passion for the game. Sure I’m glad my “Bagpipers��? won last week but ya know those kids at Duarte have my respect. Not once did they quit!
And stop with the complaints about playing time too. Hey if your kid is going to play at the collegiate level your going to know by his Junior year, unless he is a freak and has a above superior Senior year. I've been to too many Nike camps to hear some stark raving out of control parent put undue pressure on their kids. Gezzzzzz get a life it’s a high school and not the Golden Dome where “Granny Holtz��? once roamed.
I know of which I speak after spending time in the coaching ranks in the old Pacific and Mission Valley Leagues during the 80’s and early 90’s. Some parents can be over bearing and will just have you shaking your head.
At least I respect Coach P and what he has done for the Glendora program. I may not always agree with some of his moves personnel wise but hey,I know my place, he’s the coach he get’s paid to make those decisions. Better him than me. He and his staff are my guy’s I’m going with them.
Stop being a bunch of “Chris’s��? sit down and shut up and let your kid play and enjoy for what many of them may well be their last time in pads for the rest of their lives.
It's called perspective!!!! GET IT?
GOOD NIGHT NOW...............I AM OUT!!!!!!!

Posted by: Mike | September 22, 2006 9:57 AM

Somewhere Aram and the Clone are out there laughing and laughing hard.

Well, Azusa may win its weak league. But, I doubt that Azusa will make a deep run in the playoffs.

Seriously? When was the last time that Azusa High School even won a CIF football game?

Actually, can someone please tell me when was the last time that either Gladstone High or Azusa High won a playoff game in football? I am curious....

TARTAN PRIDE....THAT WAS EPIC!!!!!!!

CLASS OVER -- WELL SAID AND WELL DONE... You see when Aram got all this running (the ONLY props I will give him) MTC was "in" on the IN crowd right away - and the two of them THOUGHT they were on top of the world looking down, because that is what Losers or HAS-BEENS do.. I see Aram as the guy that never made it big in sports himself cause he knows little actually, and I see MTC has the biggest HAS-BEEN (Mr. COULDHAVESHOULDHAVEWOULD HAVE) the guy that was never able to fulfill HIS DREAMS - SO no one else has or can experience what he has -- no one will ever be able to coach -like he has... We all know "those" types.. So when the BIG,fat BLOW-HARD left, MTC sort of lost being the teacher's pet and weaseled his way out. But cleverly wants to give a shout-out to the faithful bloggers JUST to stay in their good graces...and keep his name alive.. As you mentioned-GLENDORA WAS FINE WAY BEFORE HIM AND THEY WILL EVEN SURVIVE WAY AFTER HIM... You are right -- he will give some smart-$$ reply about US being obsessed with him - sorrt MTC quite the opposite is true, YOU ARE IRRELEVANT!!! BUT i AM ONE THAT LOVES TO STATE MY OPINIONS... We community-proud, pro-kids, coach suppoters, PARENTS will do what it takes to make Glendora make and stay united in spite of people like MTC. Rock on Tartans!!!!!

Wow I am totally surprised that one person from Glendora can offend so many people in one post.
Fathers, Sons, The Gay Community, Non-Gays, Glendorans in general, people with addictions, families whom have lost loved ones to addiction, Alcoholics Anonymous and people with existing medical conditions.
Nice job real nice job you are really are the Pride of the Foothills.

boo hoo you big baby

just what i thought. are you taking up the mtc crusade or the aa crusade or just want to feel like you're special because your boy plays football. no one enjoys watching film of by gone days more then me but like every other self righteous clown you make this about something it is not. like gay marriage impacting the sanctity of hetero marriage. really one has nothing to do with the other, and everyone knows it. much like my view of mtc film watching, or "holding court" has nothing to do with your former addiction, or of one you love, or your love of your son and everyone knows it. as far as misery loves company don't extend my point.

enjoy your son's playing days on film oh wounded one. remember how this started. ..."some a$$hole capping on MTC for looking at film" someone wrote. so maybe i had my say and once again i'll make the point clearer.

mtc is a lowlife. that's my opinion. when i see him next time i'll tell him to his face so you'll feel better.

mtc knew everything. second guessed everything. tolerated no one. knew everyone's story. been there and done everything. talked about glendorians like they were his private whipping boys because he alone knew everything and coach pasquerrella was a "work in progress with severe philosophical limitations"" by his estimation and the "community tolerated being average", and were the infamous back handed "buttonwearers". HOW DARE HE! again boosters asked mtc politely to refrain from those back handed comments about the program, the community and most importantly the players, their sons. nothing moved mtc. not a league championship, a great playoff win or the player of the year moved mtc towards his humble pie slice. so forgive me if i embarass mtc, that's called "back at cha!" and enjoy the moment.

so once again, just so we're clear, mtc was a lowlife in my opinion. he wants to call out button wearers, well how about "i survived mike the clone " buttons, seems only fair.

oh mtc will come out of his cave or basement and make a clever comment or two or create yet another alias to bounce ideas and dialouge off as conversation and support for his ego but in the end he was what he has always been: an egomaniac. would anyone else do that? create an alias to 'support" yourself?

yes i love giving mtc the business like he gave others and never once came clean. i would have liked for him to say he was wrong about coach and the direction of the program and the players but instead he became so preoccupied with his business that the ever flowing comments ran dry. conveniently. but the season is upon us and his fingers are a twitching so the "i miss mtc" comments miracluously appear, nice touch mike. all new names? nice. marketing 101....shouts outs to friends and former foes...they respond...you're back in! classic. rack him!!

just so you understand glendora was fine before mtc came to town and are clearly better since coach pasquerella took over. again with no help from mtc.

so to you sir examine your comments and understand this has nothing to do with you, the aa program or apple pie it's just like all bmoc when their time is over they find new "followers" to hang on their every word.this blog is the perfect venue for mtc.

Maybe mtc can help me raise money for a good cause and actually sell the PROUD GLENDORA BUTTONWEARER T-Shirts and BUTTONS at home games. Patience is a virtue and so is humility. mtc I'll give you that chance for a stage, a platform and redemption.hey at least you'll have a stage? and a forum..and attention. you in?

t shirts $10, buttons $5, being a team player and proud glendorian...priceless.

to recap. aa good, being a sponsor better.
being proud of your kids good, them being proud of you better.

mtc remember when pete carroll and bill bellichich were thought to be "works in progress"? look at them now. how about the coach of the nfl champion giants? why be a tiki barber, on the outside looking in, when you can be part of the family?

class over.

Snooze, your favorite sport is pocket pool.

no,no,no...no one said that Manzo is doing a great job - nor the administration. But I'll take him compared to Fox anyday.

People know how I feel about MSGr Carroll (ex-Swordsman BTW) He took St Paul into the dumps (no pun intended) and they are doing a good job finally working their way out. We are starting to do the same.

...and did you seriously say not to try and compare the schools? Have you walked on both campuses lately?

no one gives a crap about soccer. its a boring sport. snoozeee

joe amat so you think manzo is doing a good job huh? the admin at amat is a big joke. and st paul is 5 times the better school compared to the crap at amat so dont even try to compare the schools.

GO ROSEMEAD PANTHERS !!!

GO GLENDORA TARTANS !!!

And good luck SGV teams on a sucessful season maybe a championship or two , but stay healthy . And WATCH THOSE KNEES !!!

FIGHT ON

TM

hey AYSO A$$hole, who's your team again? how will we know to bash you properly if you don't fess up?

Open Letter to Glendora Fans...
You people have a weirdo amongst you and it sure isn't Mike the Clone!
I’ve been watching this double standard nut case from Glendora for a couple of weeks now and I thought I throw my two cents in when he crossed the line and made a comment about some guy that was watching video of a friends kid from South Hills and of people who attend AA.
Nothing personal against any of you from Glendora except for this person.
You say…..
“Whereas looking at "by gone" glories does nothing but make you feel important for 15 seconds.”
Let me tell you something I have a son who I enjoyed watch play in the early 2000’s just like that gentleman from South Hills and thank God I have videotape of him playing. It makes me proud to watch his “by gone” glories and you want to know why. Because I could never play football due to a medical condition that I deal everyday. But NO sir or should I say son you would never understand the pride a father feels in his son as his son plays the game of football. DO YOU HAVE A SON? Odds are you don’t and if you do I feel sorry for you and your son because watching precious memories with and of your son is a special moment. But I don’t think you could understand your words speak for themselves. I bet you have never watched old movies of your family or talked to fellow classmates about your playing days. No I bet you haven’t because you’re above that RIGHT, …RIGHT you make me sick. You Coward!
You say…..
“Go back to looking at old film and your AA meetings....misery loves company”
Have you ever known anyone with an addiction problem; making fun of AA isn’t something people should do lightly. Especially when you know how families are torn apart and lives destroyed due to addiction. So grow up addiction is not funny AT ALL and yes it’s misery.
I don’t know Coach Pasquarella, but I have a feeling in your quest to defend him he would be embarrassed and ashamed by your post that you claim to be associated with Glendora football. I have come in contact with a lot of Glendora people and I think they would be shocked you seem to be speaking on behalf of all Glendora fans. In my opinion and my opinion only and God forbid I realize you have problems with peoples opinions you are THE embarrassment for the community of Glendora because you offended sons and daughters and the poor people who suffer from addiction.
Sorry Glendora but this poor sole sits amongst you all.

well done,

Reading comprehension , apparently, is not your strong suit. Go back and try again. Slowly. He WASN'T hired - and went to VP. So does that now mean "...the people at amat calling the shots hire (good) people?..."

Sometimes.

NIce try though!

You placed El Monte, ranked #7, over Baldwin Park??? Do you know something, we don't know?

AZUSA AZTECS will win their league! and go far in the finals. This is AZUSA'S year to win all!

AZUSA had the leading quarterback sacker last year!#47, you'll see this year!

AZTEC PRIDE.

Yes, Merriam, "Scarily"
http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?scary002.wav=scarily

St Paul High School was built on a former landfill, hence the early nickname "The Slime" (plus if you've EVER experienced the smell in their locker rooms, you'd understand!). Slime was temporarily replaced with "The Spys" when they were caught and penalized for spying on Pioneer High School from atop a motor home in the Denny's parking lot across the street. After their athletic decline during the end of MSGr Carrol's stint there, most dropped the spy reference. But they will always be "The Slime"

nice hire amat. just goes to show the people at amat calling the shots hire bad people.

Cif office, does SGV a favor, what's the big deal in winning the southeast div, 5 leagues of schools that play uninspired schedules, half the playoff teams are 5 and 5 or worse, so you beat 1 or at the most 2 league champs and if you think you're really something, unbelievable! I guess it's the southeast division because no-one knew how to get past XX in roman numerals , if you don't play a top school in pre-season then you don't have much to brag about,!!!

"SCARILY".....Joey?

What's with the "once a slime always a slime" ?

What the reverse?

Yes, that's the same Tony Adams that was asked to leave Amat. He ran into some...ummm... issues, at Diamond Ranch too.

The other interesting aspect to the article is the Athletic Director, Tom Fox, is a former AD/coach at St Paul. Maybe even an alum. Scarily he was dangerously close to being the AD/asst coach at Amat. A mini "staff-revolt" to MSGr Carroll prevented that during a real bad time in Amat athletics. Those who complain about Manzo - it could have been worse!

Once a "slime" always a slime.

There was an interesting article in the Times about Villa Park and some potential rules problems and the name Tony Adams was mentined in conjunction with Diamond Ranch High School. Is this the same TA that left Amat?

Meantime, Villa Park is coming off a rare losing league season and opposing coaches say they are wary of what could be coming next, pointing out that the Reynolds-coached Villa Park summer team that played in Las Vegas in July included point guard Timmell Thomas from the high desert town of Adelanto, and 6-foot-5 forward Tony Adams, formerly of Pomona Diamond Ranch High.

hey open post....is everyone who respects coach pasquerella an a$$ kisser and anyone who thinks being in a basement breaking down "high school" film from 6 years ago is a chump?

well at least coach pasquerella actually makes a difference in peole's lives whereas looking at "by gone" glories does nothing but make you feel important for 15 seconds.

i'll send over a case of Schlitz next time you guys get together. which shouldn't be too long now that football season is starting up again.

As far as a$$ kissing wasn't it you who gave a "shout out" to your boy like some high school freshmen getting the attention of the Big Man On Campus (BMOC) senior and giggling at ALL his jokes...hey mikey!!!! gushing wildly..."HE NOTICED ME!!!!!!!!"

Go back to looking at old film and your AA meetings....misery loves company.

its funny how duarte is always ranked low. but when they start winning people wanna talk good about them. no harris. but they have good talent still coming back. watch by the end of the year you guys have them in the top 5

every team on amats schedule in the top 20. translation= amat gets an ass kicking each week

State ranking are just previews..

Go play some games then brag..

Upland will take you tartans. Who are your playmakers? What a difference a year makes..

Hey Fred,

Just curious...but why would you put Northview ahead of the 'Mead in Midvalley div. rankings. What merits the jump? As a 'Mead supporter you know I had to ask.

!!!FEAR THE MEAD!! WAR PANTHERS!!!

Glendora football website......

Due to unforeseen circumstances the Glendora Varsity Football Records between the years of 1998 thru 2007 (more so 1998-2002) are not available. If you have any information regarding those years or if you would like to volunteer to help us search old newspaper files, please get in contact with us. Thanks

Paskies boy needs to spend more time on their records than on MTC. How does a school lose records like that? I didnt even see any win loss records there either I guess they didnt want to brag about all those league championships they have won.The pride of the foothill lies south of the Freeway. Go CO

I guess you cant watch old cablecast of Glendora with out some paquarella ass kisser gettiing all fired up over MTC.Hey dumb ass I was watching my partners kid who played at South Hills whats your problem. Oh we are both maried to. I for one happen to miss guys like the clone and others. You are just a typical coaches butt kisser.Your kid made every all star team that you coached you coached AYSO and your the president of the booster club right.
You won league how many times in how many years? Now thats something I wouldn't be bragging about. I dont know what your problem is with me.I wasnt addressing you anyways But your problem with MTC is pretty wierd. Hes proved to be right four out of the past five years. I think the MTC record compared to yours is pretty damn good and speaks for itself he's always said they were a average team which if you go look at the tartan records of the last couple of seasons is right on and as long as you call him on your win loss record and people go look at it you just are playing into MTC hands because you make his point. Coach is just a average coach with a average win loss record and im sure he is a nice guy. So please get over your obsession as someone once called it because you look like a sicko.AS far as you personal attacks at me and my partner I'm sure we would have no problem meeting you in person for a little dicussion about things

Fred, or anyone that knows,

Just heard about this blog. What's Los Altos looking like this year? Who's the QB and RB these days, and how do they look? Is our defense still lights out?

Thanks!

i love being the 18th best team in divsion. it's cool, no more talking football starts in a few weeks.


GO FALCONS!!!!
PS. when i went to duarte there was less then a thousnad people.

CIF goes AYSO....everyone gets a trophy!

Diamond Bar TOP 20 ????

Chino HIlls 17 and CLAREMONT 18 ????

Is that a sign of the times or what??? No Roche means Glendora goes undefeated again. Claremont at No. 18 means that division ain't worth squat!

Where is Bassett ranked? What about Ganesha?? Is EVERYONE ranked???

Oh well at least it makes for entertaining football games. No more complaining and whining.

The SGV will walk away with at least 2 Finalists and 4 Semi Finalist....and STILL the parents and alumni will blame the coaches instead of being gratefull they don't have to play the BIG BOYS anymore.

My question will be what happens when no GV teams make the State Championship Games???

AYSO....it's a kick!!!!!

hey huggy bear....I Te Meo....haven't heard that in a long long time...ever since that stretch in the Big House...."everyone should keep their mouth shut!"

wow homie....someone has his panties in a bunch ..no te rajes....chavalo....

On a lighter note....how was the shower in Soledad? Heard you performed under pressure....what happens in prison stays in prison...que no???

So to all the non state facilitied bloggers out there cuando my homie says, "Chaut upn yur face!!!!"...he means it! Except THE DUB, THE RANCH and LOS TRECIENTOS.

Ain't that right homie?

looks like west covina,damien and DR are the only schools stepping up for the challenge and playing the best that gv has to offer.....the rest should keep their mouth shut......

cal preps has ghs defeating upland, but now they have upland rated higher, so it must be an upset in their prediction, or they really dont pay attention and their polls mean nothing, which is probably the case, tartans go 9-3 and shock the world

hey mikey (blogger NOT MTC)...last time I checked....and they made reference to it today in the Q&A with McCain and Obama...


"partner" is the name used to describe a "same sex union"... so maybe you "mis-spoke"

IF you were "breaking down" ...errrrr..."enjoying" high school film from "2002 or 2003" you are really really really I mean REALLY ....pathetic!

One question. Are you smarter now or were the "coaches" SMARTER then...oppss...this really should be a two part question so here goes....just to evaluate your level of having 'NO LIFE"...were you looking at the film with the same friends or new ones???? I bet the old ones AVOID you and the "FILM ROOM" and actually LIVE IN THE "PRESENT"...lol

Sorry not trying to bag on you or anything but ...there REALLY is a life out there....and it doesn't INVOLVE ...errrrr..."HIGH SCHOOL" drama or glorifying your 'LOVE OF THE GAME"

But seeing as you're "taking up for MTC"....maybe you STILL are in "high school" mode. Grow up and be your own man "metiche". As far as Mikey...he was proven wrong by Coach Pasquerella...or didn't you hear?

Tribune "Coach of the Year" wasn't it? Sierra League UNDEFEATED LEAGUE Champions and the respect of the Glendora community. And from all things we hear Glendora is better this year and for the forseeable future following what would be MTC's "suspect Pasqy methodology". So you can put that in your pipe and puff on that for a while.

Try looking at NFL Classics instead...people won't think you're a Dip Sh5t...high school film FROM ^ YEARS AGO....wow. ;-(

tartans are goin to rock their pre-league and league line-ups! and go all the way to the cif finals and win and bring home a ring!!!!

DEFEND IT!!!

Blah, Blah, Blah, A real test of how good a team is. SHUT OUT YOUR LEAGUE. How many SGV teams are up to that challenge?

MTC.....
For what it is worth, I was at a friends house in Covina tonight and we were watching GHS play South Hills in 2002 or 2003. And Coach Lopez was actually on the field with head phones on. All I could think about was you and that asshole who is always capping you you for breaking down film back in the day just recently. My partner is all into GHS football.

jcaz,

EVERY team on Amat's schedule is ranked in the Top 20 in their preseason poll. I'm certain no one else can make that claim.

#1 Los Osos
#3 Orange Lutheran
#6 West Covina
#10 Damien
#2 Diamond Ranch
#10 St. Francis (Western Division)
#11 Chaminade (Western Division)
#16 Loyola
#2 Crespi
#19 Notre Dame (SO)


Now it's up to the Lancers to get some wins against that schedule. They've been making deposits with quality daily work. Let's hope they have enough money in the bank to make the weekly withdraw.

We'll see soon enough.

maybe no one know-or cares

is anyone gonna answer my question about nogales?

bobby-pleased don't leave us in suspense. who?

Hey Fred, Take a look at Calpreps State rankings. You'll be surprise to see who is the highest rated valley team is and it's not even close.

Off subject but I need to vent. Is anyone else as disgusted as I am with the USA boxing teams performance? I know the judging has been very questionable but I have never seen such poor performance from a US boxing team!

Preseason rankings are alot of nonsense. They are based entirely on last season's results and this years "potential". WORTHLESS!

I love how some of you can get so worked up before a game is played. Let the kids play at least three games before you start running your mouth's!

D-Mo= cleans toliets for the team

hey Fred,
im interested in knowing what u think of the teams in the valley
like the sgv rankings list of all the teams

COJO, are you kidding? Go back to the snackbar.
