sorry to see the DR/AMAT series come to an end, Roddy is a classy guy, also St. Bonnies and Amat, still interested in what cupcakes, ahhh teams CO lines up next year. Lets not forget WC, Maggliore is very classy too, who els in the SGV had the stones to schedule AMat and Mater Dei? Nobody,EVER!! Finally, did Gano end the Amat/Damien series, I’ve heard him belittle Amat numerous times in person at softball games, saying”we’ve never been afraid to play and beat the so-called big boys”………..correct me if I’m wrong somebody, but when did Los Altos ever beat a Pac5 playoff team? ever even play one?

AMAT is so much better!

The first year OLu was in the Pac5/Division 1 was 2006. Prior to that they were DVI.

There were BIG changes in the school from point A to point B, from size to admissions, and the addition of an online component to their curriculum, among others. Clearly the commitment was far different to fielding a great football program and be “Oaks Christian South”

Aaron,

It’s scheduled for week 0 because of releaguing. Each team is entering a new league with 7 teams so they can’t play week 5 anymore and they also couldn’t back out of their contracts that they had with other teams weeks 1-4.

What is So. Hills schedule? do they still have Tesoro and La Habra scheduled this coming season?

I think you all are making to much of a team’s schedule. As I wrote in my college football column many times this season – It’s not who you play, but how you play. If you play some one you should be by two TDs and you beat them by four, you’ve exceeded expectations and should be rewarded. If you don’t, you should be punished by the rankings. Look at the Southeastern Conference teams, they don’t exactly schedule up, but that conference has produced the past four mythical national champions and the most in the Bowl Championship Series era.
So obviously, it’s not who you play, but how you play.

Steve -
If you had a BCS playoff system. then those arguments would go away also.
.
The Tribune sells newspapers! CIF is the King Maker. Lets not forget the order. OK?

Whitey,
To answer your question, the last time Los Altos beat a Pac 5 or that kind of caliber school in the playoffs was 1977 when they won the Big Five Title over St. Paul, the year before they beat Fontana for the 4A [Big Schools] Title. I think they finished as high as #3 in the nation in one of those years.
As far as Orange Lutheran in 2003 compared to O-Lu of today I believe O-Lu’s closest game that year was when they beat Mater Dei 35 to 14. The rest of their games were mostly even bigger blowouts and they were 13 & 0 until they met Los Altos in the Title game, so the argument can be made that O-Lu was a D1 caliber team that year, they were certainly as good as the O-Lu teams of the past 2 or three years.

whitey,

Gano has a history of talking and not really back it up. Most of you don’t understand what makes him tick, his ego. Over the last two seasons Gano has had sub .500 records.

4-6 2007/08
5-6 2009/10

That 2007/08 record was the reason why he walked from the LA job. He is going to drop any and every pre-season game that he thinks his team isn’t favored to win, that’s Gano. Many of us have brought this up on the blog multi times and we all know that Gano reads the blog.

So, Gano prove us all wrong………..

BCS Boy: Boise State was undefeated, but didn’t live up to expectations (point spreads) in at least three of its games. The beat FCS UC Davis by just 18; 8-5 Fresno State by just 17; 5-7 Tulsa by 7 and 4-8 Louisiana Tech by 10. When you have a less than stellar schedule, you have to make pollsters vote for you. You do that by being undefeated and by not just beating teams, but by pounding them. Boise State didn’t do that, and it’s reflected in the polls. Boise was at one time ranked No. 4 and in very good position to make it to the BCS title game (if Texas lost), but by struggling against UC Davis, Tulsa and La. Tech, it was easy for the voters to knock them down a peg, and in the end that allowed them to drop behind No. 2 Texas and No. 3 Florida. A team’s schedule does play a factor in the BCS equation, but if you don’t have the schedule strength, you’d better win convincingly. Boise State did neither.

okay steve its all well and good to run up the score on teams is what your saying then correct??? so if amat played duarte azusa ganesha bassett pomona northview for thier pre season and kicked the crap outta them by 40+ each game your telling me it would be okay??? cuz they are beating the teams they play how they should?!?!? come on pull your head out!
first off i know that amat has to much class to run up the score on any of these sgv teams but thats what your stating are you not???
???

Fred – where is your weekly baseball blog.

Baseball-
Its raining! You don’t play in rain. Remember?
.
If you’re not playing, what there to talk about?
.
Don’t beg…it makes you look weak!

SGVsWorst – Playoffs? Talking about Playoffs? You mean the “FishBowl Only Postseason Tournament”? That’s like competing in the WAC. Steve proved that point. Never leaving the SGV with 5 scholarship guys? Big accomplishment? Talking about those scores and you got to beat someone big? Hows 687-376 sound? Record? How about 22-2 vs the teams in the FishBowl?

Does anyone know who Bishop Amat has scheduled???? Rumor has it charter oak and Amat may have already scheduled a game in wwek 0 or 5… Anyone have confirmation??? Fred, maybe you know??

Schedule,

Stop making it up. Charter Oak wants none of Bishop Amat.

I agree with you – a playoff is what’s needed. IT’S JUST NOT GOING TO HAPPEN ANYTIME SOON. At least not before 2015, since the BCS contract runs through the 2014 Rose Bowl. The Bowls have no reason to get in a playoff system to make money, because they are already making loads. I would have loved to have seen a plus-1 this year, which would have made sense with two undefeated teams – Boise State and Alabama. Even Nick Saban said he likes the idea of a plus-1, but he also wants to keep the bowl system intact, because it works for all parties involved. If they did go to a plus-1, they would have to eliminate the extra game, which would take away two slots for the mid-majors like Boise State. They could add another bowl in the BCS mix, like the Cotton Bowl (which would have to kick in some more money), but I don’t see that happening. If they did, they could have have those bowls played by Jan. 1/2, then come back with the BCS title game on Jan. 7 with the top two winning teams. But sometimes its not clear who those two teams are. This year it was, but that’s not the case every year, as Mack Brown has stated.
Remember the BCS Bowls don’t look at what’s best for college football, but what’s best for them, and right now they have no reason to want a playoff. As far as they are concerned, the system is working, especially the Rose Bowl, which got three storied programs to play in its two games this year.

KH,
Let’s here the excuses now for lil Bonita losing the smudgepot again….. That’s all you are, full of excuses. Once again it will be the healthy status, “if we are healthy”…. Well SD will be healthy and will return all but 3 starters I believe on both sides of the ball. So let’s see what you are willing to wager. And no excuses either… Too Funny!!!

There’s a movement to radically change California government, by getting rid of career politicians and chopping their salaries in half. A group known as Citizens for California Reform wants to make the California legislature a part time time job, just like it was until 1966.
