Thanks, Cheers, for the cheery post.

Okay, HEATER. I whupped ya this week's Pick'm! I clobbered yis! I rose from depths of despair last week to climb to heights beyond yo this week! Nice pick... San Marin. What possessed you? Oh, yeh, the sound of little MUDDY footsteps sneaking up on your slowly leveling record. But hey, isn't that what Giants like yerself are for, for us little bean-stakers to chop block down!? San Marin. Hummph. Now, let's see some humilty, HEATER. Be a role model for us kids. Yahooooooooooo! Muds

 

[H.E.A.T.]

First off I don't care. Good for you. It's just something to do for fun I know you made issue though about a 7 point campo pick. Guess what in 6 weeks only that's the only pic greater than 5. How many for you. GRANT at 8 this week stands out. Streak is putting games on here that only people like yourself. Know about. Of games I'm confident in I get right. That's why I've led since week 2. Consistency baby. Go play in a mud hole

Hmmm, seems our Matriarch Muddenguts has touched a nerve here on the board - though those of us who know him know he is strictly kidding around & means nuthin' of it...BTW did I hear the word "Fun" mentioned? ... oh yeah.. Go Mudds!

Outted!!! Yeah, yer right, Rmbr26. Tongue in cheek. Cheek in jowl. Actually, I am a fan of the HEATMAN. Anyone who can lead Streaker's Pick'm Pack into Week 5 has got some amazing Pick'm skills that weren't just aquired at birth. Discipline, too. Me? So, when I pick Grant with a high possibility of winning, it's because I really do believe in the stuff in the medicine bottles that herwoo12 is always selling, that, and recollections of the Pacer Past edging out reality. And I love Del Oro's stadium and the very edgy game night home town atmosphere, so, when I pick Oro over Folsom (as a very low pick-possibility) it's simply the Monkey in the Brain's wishful thinking versus rational, analytical, objectiveness uncontrolably influenced by emotions instead of the cool composed computer that HEATER's obviously got firing in his brain. My brain, filled with...well, there you go, look no further than the name... Ha! Muds!

 

[Muddenguts]

It really is! I am a homer, but it is for sure my fav!

Folsom's stadium, right? Or that college field where Folsom plays its home games? If that's it (and that photo up the thread is a beaut! Just looking at makes the knees go weak), I saw a couple games there one day and night when they had a jamboree of teams from all over playing there in an early season hsfootball fest. My main memory, though, was nearing sunset and suddenly this huge shadow crosses the field and I look up and I swear I thought I just been transported into the opening scene of George Lucas' first Star Wars movie, that scene where Darth Vader's giant battle cruiser fills the screen. What it was, filling the sky over Folsom's stadium, was the V-shaped Stealth Bomber (Egads that thing is BIG!) flying low over head, no noise to speak off, no warning, just quietly swooshing over the stadium as if it was laundry day at the base. But yeah, nice stadium (but back then, not the atmosherics as in Del Oroland, or the Old Pit in Salinas, or even on game night at San Jose City College when the Bells are playing arch rivals Serra, SI, VC, Mitty or St. Francis. Talk about crowd edge: this one Bell guy, a former Bell coach told me that Bellarmine doesn't like to beat opponants as much as they like them to get beat so bad they lose their will to live. Muds

That is Folsom's home stadium. We do not play at any college. We have our very own stadium, complete with blue turf.

Vista Del Lago also plays their home games at our stadium.

Beautiful venue

Thanks for the stadium update, G61. I'd hate to travel nearly across the entire golden state to catch a game at Folsom High only to park outside what ever college stadium I was thinking about and wonder why a Friday night game wasn't breaking out between your team and its next vic. But yeah if I knew how to make that photo up there my screen saver, I'd do it in a heart-beat. Oh, what are the atmospherics there on game night? Muds

I assume you mean weather? Generally, pretty good. Last night it was 75 and clear. It gets hot during the first few games of the year but is usually around 80 by game time.

Streak One, could you take a second look at Coach Reber points. Rocklin and Del Oro lost. Thank you.

 

[Streak One]

CoachReber should be at 41. I made the change in the yearly stats I keep.

Thanks for the heads up.

 

[NorCalSportsFan]
