The recession, the high housing prices, high taxes and the high cost of living are the major reasons that make people move to another destination.

Bay Area got the best of everything. 5 million people doesn't translate to football players. Look at how many people live in California and only 2 teams can compete at the highest level that BG once could. I hate to say this but had those people came from TX or FL I think they'd have a better chance because I believe those 2 states take football more serious.

Not to mention the gaels beat servite on the road in a much more lopsided game than even sjb or MD did. 2012 Servite is not a good example to use to make your case. That was the weakest senior class (athletically), and Troy Thomas started acting squirrelly that season. Two games into the season, he fired the offensive coordinator who had led Servite's offense during the 7 straight league championship seasons. This lead to Servite being shutout in three of the next four games -- Edison 0-6, Gorman 0-42, and Santa Margarita 0-21. Servite hadn't suffered a shutout loss since 2004. Just FYI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The servite MOV isn’t nearly as important as the quality wins over OLGC and St. Louis. OLGC was legit in 12..... #1 team in DC/Maryland that year. OLGC 12 would of beat BG 10 by multiple scores.

There are a lot of talented underclass men fighting for a roster spot. The Fertitta field and training center is still among the best in the west. If not the best. Kids still want to go there to get recognized and recruited. Last year they played the second best team in the country in MD. The second best team from CA in Dls. The best team from AZ in Centennial. And a UT state champ. No other school west of the Mississippi sets up a schedule like this. This year they are playing three more reining state champs. Gorman set the bar so high that people expect the team to be a national contender every year. And that is not a realistic expectation. I feel you. Do you think your team will reach the heights that they reached back in 2014 to 2016? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one West of MD even knows who OLGC is, let alone give any credence to their football prowess. BC was lucky in that BG game and was not as good as the down BG team in 2012.

It is still very possible for the Gaels to win a MNC in the future. 1) the top notch facilities are still among the best. As good as some Texas schools. 2) the coaching staff is truly underrated and mostly intact over the past 10 years. 3) the school administration is willing and able to schedule OOS risk games. 4) kids still want to go to Gorman to get a good education and to get recruited for college. 5) USA Today, Maxpreps and other polling services will give them the MNC if the team wins several risks games and goes undefeated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t know who OLGC is that’s a given..... 90% on this forum do. Just like a few years back you didn’t know who sjc was. OLGC beat Gilman w poggi, sjc, Dematha twice, and Gonzaga In 12. BC was lucky to win a game they were up 42-21 in? That’s dumb even for you Sammy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centennial AZ did not win the top classification in AZ. They were both good teams but why embellish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
