What the hell are you drinking?

i did not want to put names to my discussion, because i did not want to make it personal. just an evaluation of the football game, itself.

the other mistake that we made was to specifically have our qb run a lot. in the poly and millikan games, he only ran after he could not find anyone to throw to. and he put his knee down, promptly. the defense seemed to respect him, in that they never tried to hit him harder than needed. but that wont be true if they try running him a lot, on specific running plays.

it is simply a dumb thing to have him specifically running that many times. he is not fast, nor that good of a runner. and it places a much bigger risk on losing that golden arm. our receivers are not that good. our runners are not that good. but our qb has a cannon for an arm, and the offensive line allows him to go to sleep before he has to pass. we are simply a threat to make 10 yards every time we pass the ball. you simply dont risk that by running a joe namath type of qb.

our game plan for this game had been changed – much for the worse. we are not a running team. we are a passing team, that runs once in awhile, to keep things honest. a good defense would stop our running attack, if we try that first half strategy again.

if edison is as good as they are supposed to be, we cant afford the game plan mistakes that we made today, nor can we afford to make the stupid playing mistakes that we made today.

we have a lot of talent. but we also have some areas where we have weaknesses. i suspect, that because we are not an oc team, we are being under-rated, in the sense that i doubt if the writers have seen lakewood play as much as the top teams in oc.

i thought poly would get beat by los al. we totally dominated them. the score of 21-14 is not at all indicative of how much better we were. poly could not pass the ball. all they did all night was run left and run right. both of their scores were not results of them controlling the ball.

the fact that poly was able to take that sort of offense and beat los al the way they did, means only one thing – poly was bigger and stronger and able to control the line of scrimmage. it also tells me that lakewood’s defense must be especially strong physically.

i was a sophomore when bishop amat beat lakewood in the cif final in 71. dont know if the 2 teams have played, since. they were big favorites with haden and mckay. but we had tereschuk, gillies, owens, heaton, and truck miller – very possibly the best team that lakewood has ever had.

but it has been so long, that i dont know if there will be any sense of rivalry from the current players.

btw, i like the red and white better than the red and black.

Have no worries, the ball will be spread when the time is right.

They both played Edison, San Clemente, Orange Lutheran, and Santa Margarita. Almost identical results. Interesting.

Agreed. I’m just thankful M.D. was put out of their misery early so
the nauseum that be their bias could come to an end. Friar and Alblindo
tried to will them to victory, like the actor (r.i.p.) in the movie “Ghost” , willing himself to be seen by Demi Moore.
As far as Bruce ( Bobby Bowden) is concerned, He’s done some great
things at M.D., but is it time to go?

With all of that atheletism, they have a chance against anybody.
