Tribskin Pick'em, your predictions and ours

LA Fans, brace your selves for a long…long season.

Attended last night’s game and was stunned by the level of LA disorganization on both sides of the ball. For those that missed it here’s a brief sample;

-Too many players on field, too few players on field...
-False starts…Off-sides…Delay of game…
-Infinite dropped passes & sloppy missed tackles.
- Players kicked-out for Unsportsmanlike Conduct…
- Etc, etc…

On one memorable defensive play, a few players asked for time-out while others stood around in a daze…DURING…the play!! Of course, this resulted in a SD 60yard touchdown run.

LA football has become a comedy of errors and I wasn’t sure weather to laugh or cry.

In contrast, San Dimas had a couple holding penalties, looked organized and very well coached. The Saints cruised to an easy victory.

And to make matters worse, LA is sporting the ugliest uniforms I have ever seen. These are right up there with the Oregon Ducks away -all black- ‘Martian’ uniforms.

With those big bright numbers, and ‘jumpsuit-like’ looks, my beloved Conqs resemble a gang of hillbilly NASCAR drivers. All we’re missing are some sponsor patches…

Dark times loom ahead in Conq Land.

easy there spartacus, you want kids having respitory problems over a game?

Hey Fred whats up with leaving out Ganesha?

Calling LA parent and anyone else who Loves LA. Get a venue for Friday. We can't have this game be cancelled. There are plenty of schools who don't play this Friday who could offer their fields. Get Aguilar on it. LA must play and Crush the Saints this Friday. If Aguilar can't get it done.... he will be done soon after.

Come on coach, overcome the fires. Get on the phone and find us a field to do battle. Don't let the fires stop this weeks games. Get on a bus and send the boys to OC. Could be a great opportunity. Grab it and take control of your destiny.

Heights,

I guess I've been listening to the wrong people then. How can anyone expect LA to be better this year when they lost so many. Am I missing something??

LA Parent,

Something u might want to take note of. All the die heart LA Football supports with inside knowledge of the program don't come on this blog and make comments like yours. A good example of the LA talent would be at the receiver spot. You have a junior receiver that started on varsity as a sophmore last year. He was going to transfer over to SH's this year with the rest of his friends. He stayed at LA because he was told he wouldn't start over their. He is going to make the move his senior year.

First picks of the season i can't wait to get this season going..So many questions from each league. Will Amat improve with a schdule that looks like murders row? Will The Ranch and C. Mighty O. meet in the finals again or does Bogan knock someone off. Does Los Altos return to Form? Can Northview and San Dimas hold off B.P...and Will Azusa (AZTEC PRIDE) WHATS GOOD?!! Go back to back? Or the Preseason Workman team real or Hype? IM pumped GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE TEAMS..!!
LA Puente at Gabrielino, 7 p.m. Warriors? Breaking in a new spread offense..going with Gabrileino..14-10
Azusa vs. Garey at Citrus College, 7 p.m. -- Aztec PRIDE>>ok going with AZTECS 28-14
Friday, Sept. 4
Damien vs. Rancho Cucamonga at Los Osos, 7 p.m. --The return of GANO..great game i think Damien has to many great coaches..just the RANCHO has better players right now..R.C. wins 28-21
San Dimas at Los Altos, 7:30 p.m. -- So many ?'s going with LA to bounce back..20-17
Norwalk at South El Monte, 7: p.m -- Hernandez with a new squad..i think Norwalk gets them.21-10.
Gardena at Charter Oak, 7 p.m. -- C.Mighty.O. rolls 38-14
Diamond Ranch at Muir, 7 p.m. -- Hope this one happens this is the Game of the WEEK..Going with the Ranch..Muir lost all everything QB..Ranch 24-17
Westview at Bonita, 7 p.m -- Going with the Bearcats..17-14
West Covina at El Rancho, 7 p.m -- Ricky J. and a good defense..does Rancho still run the wing-t? lol game could end in 1hour and 30 mins. West CO> 35-21
Nogales at Baldwin Park, 7 p.m. -- Man BP..got some solid returners and with the DuRoc transfers.they will roll..38-10
Buena Park at Bassett, 7 p.m. -- BIG BAD BASSETT..starts of the season with a W..17-10
Mountain View vs. Workman at La Puente, 7 p.m.--Are the lobos for real?? I think so..Workman 35-14
Western Christian vs. Gladstone at Citrus College, 7 p.m. -- Happy Rock..returns a lot of players from a young team..they'll be tough..the Rock gets it..21-14
Duarte at Cajon, 7:00 p.m -- And Finally coach TIP and DuRoc..well to many questions to answer..im going with Cajon could get bad if Duroc has a small team.-Cajon 42-7

Once again GOOD LUCK to all the Valley Teams..

I should have said we're on our way back. Is that really true about LA losing all of those players? I haven't heard any of that.

What do you know about San Dimas this year? I heard they are down, but don't know if that's true.

I think we'll compete for third this year, but hopefully better in the years to come.

Thanks for the reply.

LA Parent,

You need to be realistic, LA isn't even close to the LA of old. Yes you may roll over SD and NV but they aren't the teams they were last year. You just like Wilson are going to get lite up by CO and DR. You are going to get lite up by SH's also. We all need to be realistic here.

Heights Parent,

What are you talking about??? LA is back, and Wilson can't handle it. At LA we take one game at a time and San Dimas is scared. I heard the coaches at San Dimas are trying to get out of the game because of the fires. It's payback time SD, and you can't get out of it.

San Dimas is going to get rolled!!! I notice all the SD people are quiet this year. They know they suck!!

TRUEBLUE;

Did you go to last seasons games? Come on we went undefeated in League and went to the C.I.F playoffs! If your from AZUSA, you were at the games. How's this for you, Fred was at two of last seasons game against Duarte and Covina, so talk to some of them if we were a JOKE!

Trueblue say what you want say, and go ahead and bad mouth, but the ranking don't LIE! See where C.I.F has placed AZUSA. We have a new coach who knows how to play the game, just doesn't run the ball every down.

I see DAWG, wants to get in the mix now. LOL...

AZTEC PRIDE!

Football Jones,

This year LA at the varsity level has more talent than Wilson. LA already had a system in place, where as Wilson is running a new offense and defense. These are LA's advantages, but Wilson is a better coached team. All I am saying about this years game, is it is going to be a game. Wilson will be coached up by the LA game.

After this year Wilson has a very clear advantage in talent, it isn't even close. LA has taken some major hits, with transfers which is kind of ironic.

Lets review some of the transfers that I am aware of;

Senior Class;
QB, 9-0 as a freshmen transferred out
RB, started varsity last year transferred to SH
RB2, Out for season his back.
DE, transferred out played varisty at LA last year

Junior Class;
QB, South Hills played JV last year
RB, South Hills played V last year
Linemen, South Hills played V (recurited by USC)
Linemen, played varsty LA, transferred out
Linemen, transferred out of state
three other linemen, that played at JV transferred out last year

Sophmore Class;
QB, Three of four left to Wilson
RB, Both transferred out
WR, Not playing may have transferred out
TE/DE Quit for the second time a couple weeks ago

These are just the kids I am aware of. Most of the upperclassmen would be starting at LA today. In this group you have LA's starting qb,rb,te, and three linemen that would start for sure on offense.

On the other side Wilson has received some of these players but has been able to keep their core talent together. Yes the talent wasn't as good as what LA had but it is much better than what they have.

LA is not getting the out of area kids like they have in the past. Two reason for that, one a 4-6 and 1-9 record back to back, two they are no longer open enrollment. Now I do understand if a football player comes to Coach A in an attempt to transfer to LA he is going to take care of it. But, by no longer being open enrollement the walkons don't walk on. They stay home like Wilson, LP, and Workman to name a few.

An example of that is the incoming freshmen class at Wilson looks like LA of Old and LA looks like Wilson of old. LA has a very small team, in numbers and size. Wilson's freshmen team is over 50 kids with the line looking like it is going to average over 6' in size. I personally believe this is a direct result of LA no longer offering open enrollment.

Now if you factor in the league religment Wilson is sitting real nice for the next few years to come. I can't say the same for LA, it doesn't look good. I really don't see them making the playoffs for the next four years. This year depends on what Bonita brings to the table. Yes at this time I am giving LA the edge in the LA/Wilson game. Wilson has a complete new system, it is going to take sometime.

Scrimmage, Not an official/sanctioned event

South Hills vs. Corona Centennial (defending state champ ala a 21-16 W over Concord De La Salle)

Friday Sep 4 7pm - COVINA DISTRICT FIELD....SCRIMMAGE = FREE ADMISSION....

Aztec Pride, well I have been to the Thursday night Azusa games, real sleeper. Oh about all Azusa being out... come on no one is ever there. Also, you have a Dodger game that night, how can Azusa miss that:)

I was wrong about CO vs. Rancho, but I can dream can't I. Lets just say, any college football game and even a Dodger game takes priority over a Montview game, Azusa or anyone. MONTVIEW...JOKE....Azusa....JOKE. Play real football.

Conqs vs. Wilson?

C'mon Cat fans,time to be sensible.

LA may not be the team of old, but do you really believe Wilson is NOW a better team WITHOUT Gilmore?

I like Wilson, and I think they'll gain some much needed stability with new HC...but Wilson is a long way from building a Dynasty.

LA will win their first 3 games, and with a little luck they'll finish at 500.

Go Conqs!!!

real heights parent

Don't be a retard dude. Just because Wilson is changing leagues/division doesn't mean LA, and Wilson won't play pre-league games (duh). Believe me, once Wilson brings the WHEEL back to the top of the hill this year, LA will want to have another shot at getting it back in 2010. Make sure you all get a bunch of nice pictures of the wheel in the next few weeks, cause after the Cats take it back, you may not see it for awhile. :)

C'mon home baby:

Heights parent...FYI, this will be the last time LA will play Wilson! Too bad for all the so called talent at Wilson.

Conq,

They will do better this year, but they are a weaker team than last year. The only league game they are going to win is the Wilson game. This game will be much closer this year. Now based on current talent in both programs this will be LA's last chance in the next four years for a win against Wilson. The underclassmen talent favors Wilson big time. Wilson is currently loaded with sophmores and juniors on varsity and most of them already have one or two years experience at the varsity level.

TrueBlue,

But guess what, I'll be watching the opening season a day before you. "WHO knows and Cares about Thursday night". Come on , I know everybody from AZUSA will be there!
How could I not care, when AZUSA is the returning LEAGUE CHAMPIONS...

TRUELBLUE, I don't know what game you'll be watching this Friday night, because CO doesn't play RANCHO and so your BLOODBATH is not happening this Friday, or anytime soon!

AZTEC PRIDE!

Conq

"... tell me who to look for this year??"

I would suggest "looking for" a new head coach for next year. LOL

Lets go SAINTS!!!!!! Just like last season.....No Talk Just Action!!!!!!The Saints are coming!!!!!!!!!!RIP EDDIE Miles

Hey, BTW, thanks for that update on those games (scrimmages), but I still dont know where the Amat scrimmage is going to be held at. Here or where ?

Fred
Thank you for going with muir. That means a victory for panthers.

Don,

This just in (Breaking News) Sierra Vista will be contending for last place in there league.

I'm a former Los Altos player, and I hope we have a better season this year. Anyone out there familiar with the program, and can tell me who to look for this year??

Thanks and Let's Go LA!!!

Some interesting picks... Who knows and cares about the Thursday games...Sorry Aztec Pride... Real Snooze fest on Thursday, but Friday Charter Oak vs. Rancho should be a blood bath.

Unreal....come saturday you should be 0-1 FjR

So anyone knows about the Sierra Vista game! Are they playing or going to have a scrimmage, how does the team look this year, will they challenge for the mountain title?

jcaz,

From what i here the game is scrimmage is going to be at 7:00P.M at the district field for SH.

For Bishop what they told me "it will be Sept 4th at 5:00P.M, LB Jordan, LA Banning and BA three way".

SD goes down on the 4th. You can't stop time Saints!!!

LA by 3 TDs!!

Yo Fred,

Im not sure what kind of steak you are into. high end, fast food, chain restaurant etc. If you want to go with the best steak in the SGV, the winner has to treated to Arroyo chop house in Pasadena. Thats if your looking for a great steak. FYI go with the ribeye or if you have a big man appetite go with the cowboy ribeye (medium rare, because the larger steaks their tend to be overcooked). Good luck to all SGV teams especially CO.

As far as I can tell, no one has said too much about the Sierra Vista game. So, I am guessing that it was moved to the 12 of November after all.

Question here to all you South Hills fans. What time is that scrimmage against Corona Centennial at district field ?

And to the Amat insider who came in here the other day and touched on that Amat scrimmage. Same question. Is that scrimmage at Amat or ???

Fred

I would say the LP at Gabe Thursday night game is in jeopardy of cancellation due to air quality. Zero contain on the fires - and no real timetable yet on knocking them down.

I live in Pasadena and the air this morning is hideous.

Fred and Steve,
Your letting the dark side of the force cloud your mind. The truth will be will be out friday night at 7:30pm.
