Interesting, indeed, if true. Not sure that Oak Ridge has ever traveled anything close to that far. That's kind of odd in and of itself; would think they'd start closer to home if they want to start traveling. San Joaquin Section kids are usually tough as nails, but not sure how much talent they have.

It’s easy to talk tough when you know the other guy isn’t allowed to fight you. This is a win-win for IMG, though. Play the two top dogs and they probably lose, but not being allowed to play them and of course now they woulda, coulda won.

I still can’t believe we’ll be starting our lowest-rated QB in 10 SEASONS, and that a slew of 4- and 5-stars weren’t lining up to take over for EB.

Thanks. Ballpark, where do you think SFA will rank preseason?

Dumb question, but is SFA coming to Santa Ana this season?

DV well-coached? 🤣

You do know the vast majority of MD’s students are not elite athletes, don’t you? EVERY. SINGLE. IMG. STUDENT. is there for its athletics. There’s a HUGE difference.

DV just doesn't learn....

And fellow cowards, BG. Nice, conveeeeeeeenient excuse to duck MD as their only hope for a minority share of the Natty last season. Gawd I hope MD embarrasses them IF they actually show.

SOS should have doomed IMG, too, but I get that you want some variety. At least your ranking of the cowards from LV is on the money.

You already pointed that out. I’m talking about MD’s D, and no one has figured them out. And MD’s O has always been able to put points on the board vs Bosco. A team that graduated 30 seniors from last year’s team that lost to MD by 10 and squeaked out a 2 pt W.

All true, which is why we agree. All things being considered, I think MD’s D puts them over the top. That’s the one thing that’s been consistently better than Bosco's. While MD’s O sputtered vs SFA, MD’s D did far better vs SFA’s O in BMore than Bosco did at home; not to mention the difference in the two teams’ D vs Kahuku. On paper, MD’s OL talent is much better than Bosco’s, but they haven’t been as dominant as many had expected. If they do gel tomorrow, though, and live up to their potential, that could be the difference btw a tight game and a 2-3 score MD win. And let’s not forget the chip on MD’s shoulder after last year’s championship. I think MD wants this more.

I’ll be happy with any kind of W. I hope you’re right, but probably a nail biter.

That’s funny, Jason was so gung ho about playing MD at SoFi last year… 🤣

What's laughable is you deflecting and completely ignoring the argument that MD is 5-0 against three of the other four equally talented teams, and 7-3 against the other one the past six seasons. Yes, genius, coaching and execution really is the answer when you have that lopsided a record (12-3) when the playing field is level, and MD's past performance is a strong argument for them doing equally as well against a similar collection of talent from any state, even the bubble you live in (TX). As for SJB, you know as well as I do that QB is the last place you want to have a talent deficit; its impact is exponentially bigger than any other position's. Sanchez is the 127th best QB in his class. 127th! Rosen was the #1 QB in his sr class. DJ was #2. Houser was #12. Clarkson #23. Hell, even Re-Al was the #29 dual threat. Yes, Sanchez has had his moments, but kid never started before this season and relies on a young OL. Not trying at all to pile on the kid, but no way SJB loses to Kahuku if ANY of their QBs of the last 10 yrs are under center. Even stellar coaching like SJB's can only overcome so much when it comes to such a deficit at QB.
