BobbySanchez Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 I am hearing in addition to this, Mater Dei will also take on an East Coast power in the Honor Bowl. Possibly IMG, St.Thomas Aquinas, or a Maryland team. Bishop Gorman might also continue to play St.John Bosco for the coming years as well.

BobbySanchez Posted November 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 These are all rumors and speculations, but the BG coaching staff/players all want a shot at MD, especially what they have coming back next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbySanchez Posted November 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Meh, by that standard people could say BG pussied out against IMG for the past two seasons when they've been calling. MD just doesn't play OOS, I have heard of Utah teams calling them and they turned those games down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjd33 Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 It will be pretty lame If MD starts scheduling OOS games now that they are loaded. Not saying that I don't want to see md and bg but still..... Not a good look for rollinson. Imagine Bosco only scheduled oos from 09-11 than just stopped. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbySanchez Posted November 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Rollinson is old, man. Really, really old. He knows every HS coach in Orange County and has had dinner with all of them. He would rather just play a good football game with his old buddies across the street 20 years ago than national teams. Jason Negro of SJB is young, he embraces new things, and is ambitious. Which is why he plays national teams and MD doesn't. The only reason why MD is even considering these games is because the kids have been demanding the coaches play a game with Gorman. I think know, he's slowly listening and trying to make it happen.

Bodysurf Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Can we please finish this season before talking about next year's schedule I'm sure the MD team has more pressing things on their mind now, such as preparing for SJB in the championship, rather than thinking about next year. But I can understand Gorman thinking ahead to next year since they played their last game way over a month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbySanchez Posted November 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 I think MD will beat SJB by a few scores. SJB was the first team to implement that 3 man rush and dropping 8 guys back, and the offensive coordinator was lost that game. He didn't know what to do and MD got by purely by talent. Every team since that game (RC, VM, Servite, OLU) has copied SJB and MD has learned to counter it with a no huddle ground and pound game and some short pass plays that work well. A surprise attack won't work twice, I like MD in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbySanchez Posted November 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 You should have seen MD's coaching staff during that SJB game, they had no idea what to do. They were completely lost that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 MD and Gorman have a two year deal on the table but last I heard both sides have not signed off on it. I hope it happens. As Bobby Sanchez said, it's not the players who don't want it. It's the Stache. But it looks like he's coming around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"players from 21 states and six countries." http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles/2576842-americas-most-talented-high-school-football-team-img I'm still surprised that anybody would schedule them. Well except for Corona Centennial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt Gorman had the toughest pre-league schedule in the country. I wouldn't say it is necessarily tougher than beating SJB, Cen10 or MD or even rancho Cucamonga in row. If going by CalPreps rankings, Gorman has only played one top 25 team in SJB. The CIFSS D1 playoffs had 6 top 25 teams, and 3 top 10 teams, and now 5 top-25 ranked teams since Mission Viejo is out of the rankings. But I stick to my original point that Gorman hasn't played a game since Sept 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this but I think MD's league schedule makes up for that. Gorman will play 6 quality (arbitrarily, let's say top250 CalPreps) opponents while MD will play 8 or 9. Even though BG's top end of their schedule is stronger, MD has them beat on depth of schedule. That said, I'd still take BG over MD if they played heads up this year.

They will lace em up and play anyone as far as I know. Have they ever turned down a game because they didn't want to play other team? Serious question if anyone knows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But beating CC and then MD does not equal what Gorman has done this year. The D1 playoffs are not that brutal. Four games total. And everybody knew in advance who the participants would be for the 11/ 26 games weeks in advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeMatha loses their most valuable player, Beau English, to graduation. BUT they return a lot, maybe 13 or 14 players or so and depending on how the jr qb plays, could be really strong. I can't imagine any other school from MD and there is history between Mater Dei and DeMatha (basketball in 1984 when DM was ranked #1 and MD #3 or 4 in USA Today. They've also met in at least one other sport. DeMatha has also played in football before in CA, against a Sacramento team in 1979. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
