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. So basically you're implying dls hyper improvement from earlier in the year ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they improved a lot. Compare their first six games to their next six games. Compare scores against common opponents: DLS barely beat Antioch 28-21 early; Freedom crushed Antioch 65-28; DLS crushed Freedom 42-7 late. Give me a better explanation of those facts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team, every year from every state has weaknesses that can be exploited. Another reason why the DLS mythical dominance is absurd. ...an ET team that beat the Texas state champs worse than they beat DLS. The mythical dominance is not absurd....you guys talk about it every day here. It's what you make of it. I don't ever see DLS fans bring up that streak. Only haters trying to bring them down, and a few posters defending what that team accomplished...like them or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue that they also should've lost to 6-5 SRV and 4-6 Servite as well early on. Then later they beat undefeated Monte Vista and Freedom late in the season, and then showed up against a superior SJB team. Their kids were sophomores and juniors. I don't know about this hyper-improvement thing, but they were definitely better as the kids gelled and caught up to varsity speed a little. All of those returnees are going to be bigger, stronger, and faster this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood. i agree. DLS wouldn't have had a 151 game streak in Fl, Tx, Ga, etc...heck not even in SoCal. They'da still been ridiculous teams, but they'da taken some hits along the way.

You're bringing the streak up now. I could careless, because we know why that occured.

I see them defending there positions, but I don't ever see them boasting about the streak(s)(other than defending their positions). 151 is what it is. We all know that. But DLS is still a top notch program that challenges themselves every year. As HSFB fans we should appreciate what they do. In my humble opinion.

BigDrop Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Nobody is talking about the heat in Concord on Friday: 100 degrees is the all time record high temperature for September 1st and 112 is forecast which is 26 degrees above the normal high temeprature. Bishop Gorman at Mater Dei (broadcast on Fox Sports Pacific) has a forecast high temperature of 104 degrees in Anaheim for Friday. The average high for the date is 86-this will also be 20 or more degrees above the average. I don't care about humidity-it will be hot as hell for these games. What is going on in California this coming weekend with the weather? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. They played the games, they won the games, and the writers gave them their MNCs. Therefore, they earned them.

What is going on in California this coming weekend with the weather? It's going to be flat out scorching for the next 4 days. The weather here has been perfect the past few days. Not sure where this is coming from. It's odd. I've lived here basically my whole life in NorCal and don't ever recall an actual forecast for 0VER 110. Seen 105-108 a few times, but over...nope. The game is at 8pm on Friday so that should help a little. The low is 71, but it'll still be 90 at game time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gospeeder Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 3 hours ago, Belly Bob said: 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. The only thing all of that shows is that there is no difference in Ca. or Tx. relative to who plays better football. On that given day, the breaks went to Trinity. If they played again it quite possibly could go the other way. All of this BS about who is better is really starting to get old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mean to offend but believe DLS was better team that YEAR but not that night was a tough environment against a tough opponent -- imho that was the best DLS team that has ever been beat -- certainly had a case and won CP as #1 team, beating the consensus #1 in final game -- that team destroyed a slew of pretty good teams i think the landscape is such that TX is likely to have fewer top 10s than CA/ FL, but more top 100s -- they're so anti private culturally in their state association that privates don't flourish, thus they get less super teams, but they have a lot of huge public schools and a rabid football culture -- they might have 40 or 50 of top 100 publics 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
