Mjd33 Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 3 minutes ago, Belly Bob said: Right, but I read that the returners on the o-line, together with the new backs, meant that East wouldn't skip a beat. The stream didn't work for me last week, but the score suggests that East doesn't belong in the same category as Bingham, which might have implications for where DLS (doesn't) belong(s). Agree.... stream only worked in first half for me too but the east/bingham result tells us most would short the de la salle stock being traded at a top 10 national team price.

Interesting though, the three losses (East, Lakeland, DBP) have all been decided in the waning moments of the game by a field goal or failed conversion. Not sure how much you can read into that, but if DLS loses, it will probably be close. You could read that DLS struggles closing out games; which is required when playing good competition. The softies in Cali tire easily, thus benefitting DLS in state. The verdict you ask? DLS is not great until they learn to not lose at the end of games. You're welcome. ☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harder to keep your kids attention and emotion up after the high of beating mater dei wears off plus next you know you are playing a team that should of probably lost to a team you beat 70-6 in Servite. Yes, that's 70-6. Maybe. But the SJB I saw wanted to make a statement against DLS. They wanted to put up all those points and execute well. Was the better opponent two weeks prior, sure, I'll agree. Did that mean they took DLS lightly? I respectfully disagree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And before those games I'm sure everyone in California thought DLS was the better team and would win based on their mythical dominance. This is the issue with Pops and others claiming DLS is always Top 25 and would win a state championship in every state almost every year since 1990. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure. In each of those losses there was reasons to believe there were chinks in the DLS armor. DLS should have lost twice before they lost to Bosco in '08. They had gotten their hat handed to them in '09 before the Lakeland loss. They should have lost to Servite before the East game. There were definitely a lot of questions surrounding those teams and DLS was definitely not viewed as the overwhelming favorite going into these matchups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they cleared the biggest hurdle (s) weeks prior. I hope your just trolling with this post.

We were talking about the OOS games at home they lost. Those ones I think the other teams won. The trinity game i'd say it was a combo of DLS losing and Trinity winning. But this is silly talk.

Belly Bob Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 2 hours ago, ATLien12x said: trinity lost in the FIRST ROUND lol Yet Trinity beat TX's state champs by 10 but DLS only by 5 (and in TX) and then only bc D. Asiasi couldn't hit a wide open receiver in the final moments of the game. I still can't figure out whether that means that TX has a lot of really good teams at the top or a lot of really bad teams at the top. Given how often DLS's loss against Trinity is trotted out as evidence that CA football sucks, I guess it means that TX has a lot of really bad teams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get amped up for other reasons, to show how great you are or to prove a point, etc. Do you think Money got amped up for the Conor fight? Do you think Couture got amped up for the Toney fight? Of course they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
