I’ll be headed down to the Oaks Christian – Venice game tonight in Venice, given that it’s in my backyard, to see our future Heisman Winner in action. I hear there will be a ton of ND fans giving him a warm welcome and their support as well.
It should actually be a good game, as far as High School football goes, with both teams boasting experienced players that are blue chip recruits. And you can catch it on ESPN2, which is just sick in and of itself.
While Jimmy battles Venice, I will be battling the sadness in my heart that inevitably rolls around every time I get around teenagers. How did I get so freaking old? And how have they stayed the same age? And was it cool when Matthew McConaughey said that, or just seriously disturbing? And why don’t I know the difference?
All I know is that I will be there to cheer our future QB on, and will be sporting a 70’s mustache and drinking Miller High Life in the process. That’s right, the Champagne of Beers.
EDIT 1: Clausen looks much better than I expected. As you’ve all heard, his mechanics are sick. I honestly haven’t seen a quarterback, and that means any QB, throw as tight a spiral. And his accuracy is amazing. Granted, the game is a lot slower, but he put the ball on the money EVERY TIME with the exception of 1 deep pass underthrown by about 2 feet, and one play with a bad snap that threw off his timing. It was 28-3 at half time when we left.
EDIT 2: High School kids’ lives generally suck. I am no longer jealous. I felt horrible for the sad Oaks Christian cheerleaders who can’t seem to get enthusiastic about a team that is UNDEFEATED OVER FOURS YEARS. Why? Most likely because it’s ‘not cool’ to show any emotion at that age. Sad, sad kids.
EDIT 3: The mascot Lion, though, was hilarious. This girl bounced around on a freaking pogo stick while wearing a lion suit that resembled Simba as a kid. About as intimidating disturbing as Bad Kermit in wrestling tights.
EDIT 4: High School football game food is the best and worst thing in the world. It’s absurdly cheap (by LA standards) and worth about half what you pay for. After a hot dog the size of my pinkie, a slice of Domino’s, Nachos with Cheese and some M&M’s I felt like ass. So I went to a bar and drank. Joy of a Thursday. Go Irish.

Bad Kermit
I am very intimidating in wrestling tights. It’s like I have an armadillo in my trousers.

It’s true. I’ve seen it. And the whole time, everyone was like, “Why does Bad Kermit have an armadillo on his ass?”
Bad Kermit
Like you don’t know.
