Tarmac...would you mind sending SK80 some tix to your semi final? Can you hook Bick & I up w/ VIP seats as we have a lot playoff whiskey shots we need to make us feel whole again.

I'm in, but really don't feel all that bad.
That had to be one of the most fun, exciting games I've called at Los Al. What an atmosphere at Panish! Kupp...is it like that ALL the time? Just Mater Dei? Jam packed stands, standing room only around the end zone luxury suites, and some very excited parents.
We had the lead for about 7 seconds, but wow...what fun those 7 seconds. I thought the coaches got everything out of our kids, and we stood toe to toe with the #2 team in the country. At the end of the game, we put up more points on them than everyone else but Mater Dei.
I've never been big on moral victories, and while this David lost to Goliath, we hit him in the mouth first, and never backed down. One of my most proud days to be a Griffin.

Not even sure what he's trying to say, or what "old days" he's talking about. Large school / small schools...2 divisions?
Good thing the kids and parents see it differently.

Think its more along the line..., you had a great season going 10-0 and then didn't get pounded out in first round of any playoff......, I'm still trying to analyze, give some time on how I see this new system benefitted or didn't..., I think this tweet also is pointing to teams going 3-7 (cough cough) then running the table in CIF.

Benefits the strongest teams playing the best football after week 10.
Eliminates the advantage / disadvantage created by the arbitrary way teams are grouped into leagues.
Groups & ranks teams according to their team strength that year, instead of a worthless CIF coaches pool.

I guess it really supports scheduling up as much as possible, likely eliminates a sub par record from being excluded from any playoff as even a losing record could qualify. Heck JSerra was one rank away from possibly running D3.

(a) This is the best and most fair divisional placement and playoff selection system we've ever had, and
(b) It sure as hell ain't perfect.

What would you change to make it perfect?

What would you change to make it perfect? There is no such thing....., likely see a few tweaks......, personally I thought it best to ALL play out first before one starts moving about the pieces.

Well as I called it, D1 D2 ALL PRIVATE FINALS.....
Enjoyed for the first Friday night in some time sitting in my lounge chair watching these games. Glad to see an ALL OC D1 Final even though it is easier to route against that LA team.... Awesome season and props to CC, they were right there as I suspected all season. Alemany-OLU looks real good on paper, Alemany is loaded and OLU seems to be on a roll at the right time. It wasn't a trophy but merit to see OLU run up more points on Sierra Canyon than CDM!
I know we have guys here on both sides of the D1 game, an honest best of luck, have a great game to both sides.

Not a public / private thing. It's a poor separation of top group thing.
Draw the line under #4, and it's 3 out 4 publics in the semis of D2.
Cen10 was an eyelash from being in the finals, and will be there next year.

So.....how 'bout them Friars?
What a glorious victory to witness in person. 10 years of frustration erased in one evening.

The Flagship of the Sunset League is in the CIF Championship game. The Tars were honored at the Fashion Island giant Christmas Tree lighting and the Newport Harbor flag is flying over City Hall.
TAR BALL! Tars practice on Thanksgiving Day as Sea Kings peel potatoes. Max Cady leaves mountain bunker to see Tars play. Dress Whites will be the uniform of the day. The world is starting to look normal again. Tars football to have lead boat in Christmas Boat Parade. TAR BALL!

Classic... Max Cady reset.
Took me about a year to have a clue what he was talking about, but then again, I was never really much into haikus.
