Perhaps its my "Friday Night Lights" idealism but I'd like to see all high school games on that night under the lights. Some schools are forced to Saturday days due to the sun being the only light. Its just a dream of mine. I've always liked high school football on Friday. College games on Saturday. Professional games on Sunday. A progression as the lights get brighter.
The unfortunate Thursday Night Lights brought an interesting game a couple nights ago in Danville, Ca. Monte Vista defeated San Ramon Valley 33-31 on a field goal with 9.4 seconds remaining. A terrific game involving promising quarterbacks with a potentially lasting rivalry. Zach Kline of San Ramon Valley and Jeff Lockie of Monte Vista likely know each other well. Danville isn't all that big. Kline is heading to Cal. Lockie to Oregon. This rivalry is one that could last and intrigue.
Its criminal that today is the first San Francisco bay area appearance of ESPN's Game Day crew. Chris Fowler, Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstriet will be in Palo Alto today for the Stanford-Oregon game. They've never been to Berkeley. Its sad, for them, that they've never been to the greatest college game day site in the nation. Memorial Stadium. A visit certainly couldn't happen this year. The stadium's being renovated and the team doesn't merit it. They should have been there Oct. 19, 1991. Cal-Washington. Two great teams. One fantastic game. Today's Stanford-Oregon should be a great one too. Maybe Corso and company will be in Berkeley in 2014. Cal-Oregon. Zach Kline facing Jeff Lockie once again.
