That'll be all Petros and Money followed by play by
play and that will be a theme this week Tomorrow
Thanksgiving Day Friday, we have got play by play every
single day save Wednesday, as we are your home of football,
and obviously Thanksgiving is the official holiday of the NFL,
(01:27):
and we proved last week the NFL. We don't just
choose the NFL. The NFL chooses us when it comes
to giving things away.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Solidify yourself, prepare yourself, gird your loins, get into a
ready stance for schedule talk, because it's coming right now,
and it's coming right down the d Tonight schedule short,
(01:57):
Monday Night Football at forty nine. Ers kickoff.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
People at five five point fifteen. We'll call it.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Tomorrow, Clippers at Lakers pregame at seven. So Matt and
now are going to do a full show. Actually it's
just me and Don McClain tip off at eight. So
full show tomorrow, full show.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Wednesday, no play by play.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Crickets. But then Thanksgiving Day, a flurry of punches to
your sternam a feast of NFL games. Triple header beginning
Thursday at nine am. Packers Lions. What a matchup.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
That's a good one.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
I could determine which Anathy's is still in contention for
the NFC North Peak, at which the Chicago Bears are
currently leading.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
That's a good one, that's right. The NFC North the
next one, Matt a real tail is all this time.
Some say elimination game and Chiefs Cowboys. Well, who's gonna die,
either the unruly Native Americans or the colonizing Cowboys. It's
(03:21):
not Chiefs versus crazy Willie, you know, the Redskins Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
But that's all enough. Once they changed to the Commanders,
they were like, this aggression will not stand.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yeah, we still have Cowboys versus Indians. In the NFL.
The Chiefs would thank god, Chiefs at Cowboys, and then well,
I would expect the tiger to win this battle if
it was in the wild, but they probably won't in
the NFL. Bengals at Ravens. So that is the schedule
on Thanksgiving Day. But then it doesn't end there. NFL
(03:53):
on Black Friday, Bears versus Eagles kickoff at noon on
a five seventy Saturday Big Noon, which is nine am
out here. We've got the biggest rivelry game in the
country and the gold standard of college football since these

Michigan in the biggest game of the year in the
Big ten and beyond nine am kickoff on seventy Ohio
State Michigan and then Sunday.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
I know it wasn't included on their p but I
think people would be awfully excited to know that that's
going to be a double header of play by.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Play that day.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
It doesn't say that here, or.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I should say.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
It's actually Black Friday, We're gonna have Bears Eagles followed
by Clippers Grizzlies the game.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Wow to hear, Yeah, everyone's going to win that one
on Friday. It didn't say Matt yeah, Bears Eagles.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Where we're trying to keep people focused, but I think we,

if they didn't know. Yeah, after that, Bears Eagles, the
two teams leading their divisions, the North and the East
and the NFC respectively, we got Clippers Grizzlies seven pm, tip,
six pm Adam Auslin Clippers pre game.

(07:32):
forty nine Ers and way to go Max. More schedule
talk wow, because a week from tonight it'll actually be
today because it all starts at one o'clock. We are
going and you know he's not from there, but you
(07:52):
could walk the streets of down in like nineteen fifty nine,
nineteen sixty one and see Ronnie Fossil or somebody that
looks exactly I give in a leather jacket to the
columnist back pocket drag racing, the drag racing, surf rock,
(08:13):
kick ass, Rockabilly Town of Downy. Matt and I will
be there at one o'clock a week from Monday for
another Petrosen Money Power Lunch, which is a new wrinkle
in our BJ schedule this year. The Power Lunch that
(08:36):
we pulled off in her Vine was seen as a
successful venture even though the ventures didn't play, and because
of that we have scheduled another one. And if this
one is successful in Downy, that'll be two in a
row successful ventures on the power line.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Who knew that lunch was a franchise that we could
tap into and find great success, But no doubt after
what we saw in Irvine a packed house for our
one to three show, after which it emptied out considerably,
and we hope to make the same situation sing in Downey.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Now. I hate to say stupid things on the ray. Well,
I do say stupid things on the radio. That's actually
the definition what we do job. Yeah, but I hate
to say stupid things on the radio about like a
remote and then somebody like does it, and then in
that day I'm just like over it, you know, and
then I feel stupid for saying it. But I wouldn't
(09:41):
it be funny if like people showed up in suits
like they were real businessmen, like power lunch suits.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Oh and we have to show up in suits as well, obviously,
No no, no, no, not us, Well we have to.
I mean, if we're gonna have.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I said, well, you know what, I want to just
try to strike it from record. Yeah, but it would
be pretty cool if there was like a whole table
the guys that looked like the Blues Brothers and it's
a Petros money power launch and that would be great
for the Graham As the young people say. And by
young people, I mean people in their thirties. I think
that would be cool. But I don't But I don't
(10:19):
like the way you took it. I don't like where
you took it. I don't like how well, because we
had asked them where.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
We came up with the theme for a poor Stop
blowout party down the road a couple of weeks ago,
or maybe it was last week that we discussed it,
that we wanted people to participate with us as well,
and we're like, hey, here's the way we're going to
do this. And I can't remember what the idea was.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
I was waiting.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I was kind of I was kind of going to
fail me out because I don't know, but it was
a great idea.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Can I want the listeners. Look, we do sports radio,
but I want the listeners to show up in suit.
If I was in a suit doing sports talk radio,
I'd feel pretty terrible about myself, which I already do,
so maybe I should, but I I didn't want to
wear a suit. In my mind's eye, it was us
(11:14):
doing the show dressed like the degenerates that we are sure,
and the listeners in suit.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I just feel like that's a big ask of the listeners.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Well, I'm not saying they all have to wear a suit.
I'm saying one guy, and we can celebrate that person,
like we always celebrate the fertile young couple when we
go to Irvine to sit in the chair of you know,
and we can even sell it. It doesn't even have
to be an Irvine thing anymore. To celebrate the fertile
young couple. We can bring if there's another fertile young couple.
(11:45):
We should bring them up front and our next show.
It's just that Irvine logistically has that throne for the
fertile young couple.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Yeah, and in Downey were basically placed at the end
of the bar, right in front of the expediter and
the restrooms, and it is a high trafficked area. It
is behind us and around us the whole time, and
we feel like we're They don't make us feel like it,
They're very hospitable, but we are. We do feel as
though we are in the way.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
We're right by the place at the bar where the
servers come to get drinks for the bar. So like
that one spot in the bar where they're serving drinks
for people at the tables, that's the spot at the
bar that we are right by. Just logistically, so there
is no place in Downey for a young fertile couple
to be celebrated. But we could find a way to
(12:36):
celebrate one person that shows up in a suit or two,
or maybe even give them prizes. I don't know, Matt,
I don't know. I feel I'm regretful having brought it up.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Well, listen, people show look if mister Bachmeier shows up
there's your Dyna suit.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
You're right, mister b does like to wear his.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Suit, always wears a suit when it comes to our shows,
and we appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
You're right. You're right about that. And every once in
a while we'll get a guy who's off of his work,
you know, who's dressed in business casual. But it's actually
kind of rare in California from what I understand, because
obviously Matt and I don't have real jobs, and I
think Tim could pull it off with the way he
dresses every day. But it's much more and it's not
(13:23):
a promotional thing. It's even though Matt and I were
on the bottom floor with this clothing company, but the
Travis Matthew thing and clothes like that, but specifically Travis
Matthew business casual wearing golf clothes that aren't on the
golf course, and they don't even look like you're going
to go golf. You're just in pants and a polo
(13:45):
or like a long sleeve or like some kind of
quarter zip that has become acceptable in the California business
world at the highest levels. So I don't really know
who gets suited and booted for work anymore.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
It's the California. Look, yeah, I feel like you're you know,
whether it's consulting or finance.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Now, matt you're in Chicago, You're in San Francisco in
a suit. You're in New York City, you're in Baltimore.
You're suited and booted, no doubt. But here in California,
these guys are getting away with wearing the Travis Matthew
and they bend their knees and squat down and they
feel great.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
And never forget good.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
The first time when I was hired by the Chargers
in twenty seventeen, and you know, I'm on the Charter
preseason game. Hey, you know business dress?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
You got it?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
I show up in what Travis Matthew with the pair
of khakis and a bunch of dudes are in suits,
and just me, I'm like, you know, this is not
what I visualize Los Angeles business attire. As Coach Lynn,
my great apologies. I will I'll be better next time.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Maybe where's the headquarters of the NFL. Man It's in
New York.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Yeah, come on, I misread that one. Now, in my defense,
within about six weeks they were like, hey, done with
the suits. They did start out zero and four. The
suits got kicked to the curb.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Yeah, you know, that's something you can change. It's easier
than firing your brand who play by play guy? You
know sometimes sometimes when teams want to make a change
and they don't know what to do, they'll just fire
the broadcast.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
That's right. It showed up in a polo.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
That's not why it happens, but it just happened. It
happened to poor Steve simp physioc and Rex Huddler. The
angels were like, we suck and we're not gonna do
anything different. What should we do? Let's get rid of
these guys. The fans will feel like something is different.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Are who are our go tos for Downey? Don't we
always ask Kates to get us? Like the guy from Megadeth,
isn't Mustaine from there?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
No? It is it the other headfield?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
So it's Metallica that's from there.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
I feel like Mustaine might be from Southgate then, because
obviously they were both in the same band together when
they were in high school and then they had that split.
But uh, is there anyone else that? There's always someone else?
Is it the Hall of Fame guy? The big gigantic
Hall of Fame. Dude, that's from there as well.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Well.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Nika Iabaliavo's from there. We could celebrate him after the
UCLA upsets USC. Jeff Tedford's from there. He played I
think at Warren as a quarterback. I can't think of
who else we would lean on other than the surf rock.
If there's like a surf rock drag race expert who
(16:34):
wants to come.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
On, pretty great, but I don't want.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
To wear a suit. We had a similar We had
a similar issue, and we had a similar issue at
USC when Paul Hackett took over. He hired a tailor
and they put us in like these cardinal jackets and
khaki pants, and everybody was supposed to wear a suit
whenever we traveled, or whenever we went to the hotel,
or whenever we did anything. And it was never has
(16:58):
anything been more unpopular in the history of USC football.
Do you still have the jacket? No, but there's a
photo of me in it, you know, like the the
program photos.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
We were all in our jackets like a letterman.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
No. No, it's like a blazer, like a cardinal and
a blazer.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Oh, like a like Augusta National or something, you know,
exactly exclusive club each got one, or they just used
the same one and each guy just put it on.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
And it's been the photo they used the same one,
but in real life we each got one and we
had to travel like that, and it was very unpopular,
so much to the fact that some of my teammates,
some of which are no longer with us, once sat
in the in the airplane chair and publicly urinated in
the suit in front of everybody.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Oh that's unfortunate. Yeah, football, Yeah, the one blazer.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
I would anybody do that on the Charger team? Mat
anybody do that on the charge your team to protest
the suits? No?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
I don't think so. I think it was just a
read by the coach where zero and four, we're the
only team in the NFL that's wearing a suit on
the plane on the road, so let's just go ahead
and ditch that.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
It's twenty seventeen.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
We're gonna be suited and booted. Said, that's what I
remember the meeting with Paul Hackett. He's like, everybody's gonna
get a suit. Everybody's gonna wear a suit, and we
had like a linebacker almost getting a fight with a
coach because he had a polo with a because he
didn't have his shirt his button down, so he had
a polo on with a tie.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
They're like, you can't do that, guys, it's football. Can
we can you help me out here?
Speaker 3 (18:46):
You could get up at five in the morning and
roll like a log until he barfed.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Remember, oh, remember this too. It happened to Mike Nolan
with the forty nine ers when he got the job,
and he's like, I'm gonna wear a suit on the
sideline because that's what I was raised and I believe
it's a perfect They lost, like I don't know how
many of their first games, but that thing got ditched
in a hurry.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Yeah, I missed the day something like that. I missed
the days of the suited coache Tom Landry. Yeah. And
in basketball it's over now.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Yeah. McK cronan looks great. Thank god for Mick cronin.
Huh he looks right all right, Matt, Well, I think
we hashed it out. We had a good conversation about
downy suits are optional.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I guess.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
If you want to wear it, you'll be celebrated, but
please know what you're getting yourself into. You're gonna be
the BJ's in Downey at the Stone Wood.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Mall Oh, I know who you're thinking of, Matt, who
Tom Fallock to Father Tom Fallock to of the Downy
Greek Orthodox Church out there.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
That's exactly who I was thinking of.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
We got to get him to come and do a blessing.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
I'd be into that.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Well, he didn't make it to the blessing last time.
We waited too long and he had to.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Go well, and our PA was, oh, that's right, No,
that was the time the PA was gone, that Negro.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
That was a couple of years back. Finally, Matt, we
got our own PA. So last year it was fine.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
And speaking of Jason Negro, not in the Sky Championship game.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Since Loyola played Esperanza in the D one Championship. This
year in the Open Division we got Carson Palmers Santa
Margarita Eagles in his first year, great success. And then
the Corona Centennial Husky's the Football Factory, the best public
(20:54):
school playing football perhaps ever in the state of California.
And it's all behind one man, the great Matt Logan,
a hero in southern California. Thousands of kids have gone
on to get a higher education and had a chance
to play football because of him. We will have him
on in the next hour. Next segment, though, we'll talk
(21:16):
about sc and they're loss to Oregon.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Matt's next.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Oh, Matt is next.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
I thought he was coming on at three point thirty. Oh,
corrections and retractions. I'm so sorry. I feel terrible. Matt
Logan coming up next. Well, that's even better.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer. Make AM five to seventy or your
favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast a preset on
the iHeartRadio app using Apple car Play or Android Auto.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Road Trip all summer with LA Sports Trust.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Some money got NFL football tonight, which is why we
are on in the two o'clock hour. We'll have Panthers
forty nine. Ers kickoff just after five pm Thanksgiving Day,
the triple header Packers Lions, Chiefs, Cowboys, Bengals, Ravens. But
this Friday p a lot of people talking about Bears
and Eagles at noon to heck with that, we're talking
about seven pm at the Rose Bowl.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
I think he could beat Carson Palmer in a race.
I think Carson's can throw the football better than him.
A great head coach, one of the most legendary head
coaches in the history of California high school football. Corona
Centennial High the Football Factory. Let's go Huskies. Eleven and
one on the season, and that loss came to Santa
(22:35):
Margarita in overtime way back in Week two. Gonna be
a rematch on Friday at the Rose Bowl after beating
Modern Day twice. The one and only Matt Logan joining
us on the Petros and Money Show on AMPHI seventy
LA Sports, your home of high school football excitement just
(22:57):
because we talk about it, joining us on the Southern
California Toyota Celebrity Hotline. It is Matt Logan, coach of
the Huskies. What's cracking, Coach? How are you? Thanks for
coming on, I'm doing great.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Well, it's great to talk to you. Just how gratifying
is it for you and your kids in the school
and the hole Inland Empire to be where you are
at this point? And is there something different about this
team than the last few years to make it to
one of the great Open Division titles we've seen in
a long time.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Yeah, Unfortunately, it's been more than a few years, but
that's all right. Now we are pumped and excited for
this opportunity. It's it's incredible opportunity for us and a
chance of playing the rose ball. The biggest stadium I've
ever coached in was an Anahei Stadium, So this will
be this will be a great event for us to
play in the granddaddy bull of them all.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Yeah, give us an idea of just take us through
that game, coach, because I mean, what just an incredible game,
two Titans, trading blows. I mean, back on it, four
or five lead changes, the way the game ends. Just
to have kids, you know, young men, the composure they
must have shown after kind of fallen behind in a
hole and just having to trade blows like that. What
was that experience like for you and your team?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
You know?
Speaker 5 (24:15):
And in the similar instances when we played them the
first time too, it was crazy back and forth. And
you know what's amazing and what I'm super and most
proud of this team is how we get contributions from
so many different people and different players from the previous
game and some of the same players, and it's just
incredible how when we need to play to be made.
Guys step up in then that role and make that play.
(24:36):
It's incredible, so much fun to coach this team because
they just love the game of football. They're unselfish. All
our guys play on special teams. They played both sides
of the ball needed They do whatever we ask or
just could be more proud of our group.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
The one and only Matt Logan. His teams run more
efficiently than the Japanese bullet trains. Absolute perfection and the
difference between you and the people that you and Matt
said two titans trading blows. But one of those titans
is a private school. All of them are private schools.
(25:08):
You're the one that is a public school. How do
you compete in twenty twenty five as a public school?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
You know?
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Number one is a great administratortion support and great community support.
We got a coaching staff. This is Britain, pitty stable.
And when guys leave and retire and other guys step
in and save up to those roles, they just they
continue the standard that we have and the kids that
come here are unbelievable. They know what they're getting into.
They know they might be a little bit undersized or
(25:37):
whatever the case. May be, but they love the game
of football and they want to work and they want
to compete, and that's what we do.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
You mentioned you got it from everyone in this game.
You got two block kicks out there, including the game winner.
Kind of take us through the idea of how you
coach that up, the opportunities, how they present themselves one
an extra point and then obviously the game winning could
have been a game winning field goal instead get the block.
There just just the young men that contributed to those
plays and how you draw those up.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
You know, I think it's it's just more of one
of those deals. And I was talking about this all
time with some of the plays like that is it's.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Kind of like rebrowding.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
You know, you don't need to build a jump the highness,
you don't need to be the tallest guy. It's a
matter of want and and wanting to do it and
and having that desire and and that's what that's what
these kids have. And they're not you know, they're taking
no plays off. And the pat that they blocked was
super important earlier in the game too, because that gave
us to one point lead and then and then go
ahead and block that field goal at the end was
pretty amazing.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
What was the name of the kid that blocked it?
Are they going to build a statue of him on campus?
Speaker 5 (26:39):
Miles Shermer, We probably will.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
I saw because I used to call a lot of
Corona Centennial football games way back, uh, way back before
they were busting a lot of kids in to the
OC from the Inland Empire. Uh, like guys like Vontes
Perfect to who I saw in Vegas on Friday night.
I mean, you're alumni group of guys, and what they've
(27:04):
contributed to football at every level is mind boggling. Uh
do you keep in touch with all these guys that
have come through your program? I know, you can't keep
in touch with everybody. Is there like a Corona Centennial
fish fry every year where everybody comes back and and
and and says, Hi, how do you? How do you
do it?
Speaker 4 (27:26):
You know?
Speaker 5 (27:26):
I wish we did have something like that. And you know,
we've a lot of us have gone through different stages
of life, happenings, I'll say, uh, you know, and some
and some are tragedies. But it brings us together and
we see each other. And there was a game we
had earlier in the year that a lot of kids
came back for uh, there was a milestone game and
then a lot of kids were there Friday night. And
and it's funny you say mentioned Vontez perfect because he
(27:47):
uh he texted me today, So that was pretty awesome
to hear from him. And uh, it's great. Yeah, we
got that. We just you know, we've had a lot
of great players, We've had a lot of uh support
systems in place to help kids and and we feel
like we're part of that and and and we feel
very grateful to have those kids that want to come
back and say hi, and and bring their kids and
meet their kids and and then that stuff. It's great,
(28:08):
it's all good stuff.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
You go ahead, Matt.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
How important are those just you your schedule coach, because
you just go through, you know, year at the year.
This year it's it's Surviyed modern day and Santa Margariti,
you play Gorman, you play cathed role. You kind of
make sure you get those those in there. How much
do those games help you out? And how important is
that scheduling when it comes time for Division one playoff games?
Speaker 5 (28:32):
Oh yeah, and we believe that even when we work
Division one is you know, you get better by playing
better teams and and you know, we're all you know
at this point, I always look at it. You know,
you may might have different ideals when you're a younger coach,
but I've lost plenty of games. I'm gonna lose plenty
of more. So a loss in the in the season
is worth getting better towards towards the end of the
season and prepare you for playoffs, especially at this level.
I mean, you're playing the highest level of high school
(28:53):
football there is and really much as in the statement
in the country, So you know you got to get prepared.
So you do that by playing good people. You get expose,
You find out what you got to do and what
changes you got to make, and kids see what that
level looks like. If they don't know what that level
looks like, they don't know how to aspire to that level.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Matt Logan is our guest. There's nobody better than Matt
Logan on the Petrosen Money Show. Honestly, we talk to
a lot of people, but it's hard to be more
impressive than Matt Logan and what he's done with Corona Sentendihill.
Not just because they're playing in the championship game this year.
But just because of the body of work. And one
(29:30):
thing I think that's important to point out is that
for every guy that goes to Arizona State or wherever
you're sending people all of Ohio State, Michigan, you have
guys going to smaller schools to continue playing football, using
football as a vehicle and get education. Like your quarterback
Dominic Catalano, who waited his turn, a former ball boy
(29:53):
and he's played great. He's going to Pomona. Pitzer talk about,
you know, placing, trying to place everybody in your program,
not just the guys that that everybody's aware of, and
going to the highest level.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
You know, And I think that that's super important. I's like,
we have a meeting every January with all our kids
and tell them, hey, you might not be the you
know fit that USC mold. And I talk about my career.
You know, I played Division too. I went to jac
and played Division two football and I loved every minute
of it. And that, you know, and for me, football
made me educated or made me more interested in education.
And see the value of that. You know, I just
(30:26):
kind of wanted to screw around when I was in
high school and early college and and it made me
realize how important, you know, an education is and how
many more opportunities and windows and doors that opens for
you to further your life and make it better. And
so that that's what this provides. And it provides an
opportunity to to U, provides a promity, This provides the
support staff, and it just anything that you can do
(30:48):
to you know, whether you get money or what helps
you get in or it keeps you in school, it's
all good stuff to continue that education and just you know,
have other things open to you in other places. And
that's that's what's important, because it's just plenty of levels
and and Dom's a perfect example of that. I mean,
he sat here and waited. He probably could have been
a three year starter or somewhere else and been highly productive.
And and but I think you know, in terms of
(31:11):
him in particular, you know, they know the level football
he's playing against, so they know the quality of football
player he is. He just doesn't mean some of the measurables,
but he has all the intangibles and and you know
he knows where he what he wants to do, and
what he wants where he wants to go and and
we're going to support that. And I like it because
it's close enough to where I can go see him
play quite a bit.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Yeah, you hit three hundred wins earlier this year, only
the fifteenth high school football coach to do it. And
I was reading when you did that. You were talking
about these playoffs and we had our friend Tom Telesco,
former GM of the Chargers on. He was kind of
talking about the situation that CDM was in and when
you get bumped up versus getting bumped down and how
that plays with these kids. And you had an interesting,
(31:52):
you know, sort of idea behind it and throwing sixteen
teams into that and the losers get to go to
Division two, and it seemed like it was a little
more inclusive, just kind of I know, you got to
focus on this game on Friday, seven o'clock in the
Rose Bowl, but just sort of your thoughts going through
this playoff this year and maybe how we can try
to tweak this thing moving forward.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Well, you know, I don't think there's a coach out
there that likes to buy in the playoffs, you know.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
I mean that we work in this.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Sport in particular, such a very high volume of work
and to do all this work and to have games
taken away from you is not what you want. You know,
you want to go out and play, And that was
my suggestion was to that way, everybody gets a playoff game,
and it also kind of helps level out some of
the other divisions. Like you know, there was in previous
years when there's a really big school in a smaller
division and they dominate and go on to win it
(32:40):
and then maybe even win a state championship ball. It's
really not fair competition in that case, you know. I
know the whole theme of this is competitive equity, but
I think it's more competitive when you take the top
sixteen teams and let them fight it out eight continue
eight drop down and continue out in the second bracket.
I think that's that's a lot more fair situation, and
I think it helps level out some of the different
divisions as well in terms of competition.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Now, well, we're just gonna ask you one more. We
know you're really busy and it's a crazy week and
Carson Palmer staring at you with that smirk on his face.
You guys are ranked number two in the country right
now by Max Perhaps now playing for the Championship After
you started in late August, I got to ask you, coach,
because when it was when it was I don't know,
(33:26):
eighteen years ago, when I was calling games, you were
staying at Corona Centennial because you were raising your family. Now,
I mean just I saw you five years ago and
you were holding a baby, grandchild. You know, you've raised
your family up, You've had success at all those levels.
What keeps you there at Corona Centennial? What is it
about that place that keeps you coaching? I'm sure you've
(33:49):
gotten thousands of other offers.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
You know. I think, you know, I think the question
really is why leave? I mean, we have everything that
I that I need is here. You know, great support,
got family close by, my coach, with my friends. You know,
we we do it the right way. We get great kids,
kids know what they're getting into when they come here.
And I mean it's a it's a great situation. If
we could just you know, get a dome over the
(34:14):
stadium to make a little bit cooler in those August
that everything's awesome.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Build a dome, right, That's that's next for a Husky Stadium,
a dome. No dome on the Rose Bowl, that place
is going to be packed. You mentioned you get to
do it at Anaheim Stadium in the past. Now to
do it at the granddaddy of them all inside the
Rose Bowl, going to be awfully exciting. Friday night, seven pm,
Corona Centennial, Santa Margarita, Matt Logan, our guests, good luck,
and we certainly appreciate you taking out the time, Coach.
Speaker 5 (34:41):
Thank you, guys, appreciate it. Go Husky, thank you, Coach.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
I'll tell you, Matt, and he never even did what
got on it. I didn't call back. You screwed up.
He didn't do screwed up man. You know, Matt, A
lot of people in Matt logan situation, well they wouldn't
have stayed there, but a lot of other people Matt
Logan's situation would have gotten spike strips from the CHP
and stopped all those vans from driving from the Inland
(35:07):
Empire to modern day every single day, right and pop
their tires. Logan didn't do it.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Now, wait a minute, let's be let's be fair here.
It's not every single day. It's only until Christmas and
then those vans stop coming and those kids go back
to their school.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
For prompt Yeah, it's a smaller van that takes a
basketball kids. Yes, there's less guys on the team exactly.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Football kids get to go back to their school and.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Go to prop What a story. What a guy, and
good luck to him, and good luck to my old teammate,
the great Carson Palmer. A lot of my teammates are
excited about that. And his son is on that Santa
Margarita team. I mean Carson's is, but Lenny Vandermain, who's
his assistant head coach.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
His son is a freaking animal on that is Like,
is this like politics? Like, you know, you provide the
platform to one candidate fair and balance. Do we have
to have Carson Palmer? We have to have them on
now this we've reached out. We're also we're also interested
in getting Guy Gardner on from Pallas Verdes High. They're
taking on that very difficult PACIFICA team from Oxnard. So
(36:13):
we're gonna celebrate this well, I think I think it's
San Clementi los out.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
Well, we celebrate everybody we can. You know, I'm a
big San Clementy guy. One town, one team. So we'll
be back with how is your weakit?

unlikely Open Division championship, but a very welcomed one. First

Speaker 2 (37:17):
I think it's eighteen forty one.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Oh, thanks a lot, and we splitting hairs.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Sorry, I want to make sure we're accurate on these things.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Well, it is Monday, and because of that, I'm gonna
do what I do. The weekend is mine. So how
was your weekend? Matt? How is your weekend?
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Good weekend?
Speaker 4 (37:37):
Saturday, great surf in the morning, so spent about three
hours out in the water, got home, and my friend
Tommy reached out said he had some people cancel on
him that I want to go up to Cosm, that
he bought a booth for the USC Oregan game. So
reached out to my friend Dave, who was a USC alumnus,
(37:59):
to see if he won to go.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
He was all into it.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
Ilhard would have been there if he didn't move to Chicago, right.
Speaker 4 (38:05):
It was really cool. It was It was really cool.
We were on the second level. I think the third
level would have been even better, as exciting as it
was to kind of see a game in that environment.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
My favorite part.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
I don't want to out him in case you would
get in trouble for it or something, but I do
have a friend that works for for SC and I
was like, hey, go to this little spot on the
field and just look right towards the crowd, and based
on where the Cossom camera was, he was like twenty
five feet tall staring right at everybody that was in there.
That's certainly made the afternoon for me beyond the game.
(38:41):
And I would also tip the cap to the guys
that are smoking meat just like we do here on
the Petros and Money show on the upstairs deck I
think a lot of meat, the brisket, the ribs, the
sausage was incredible that we had it, had a lot
of poll at halftime. So yeah, if you're thinking about COSM,
(39:01):
i'd recommend that. I really enjoyed it. It was a cool,
different sort of experience. Sunday SURFD again.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Oh come on, man, you don't sound as smug as calling.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
I know. I was trying to remember what he said.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Probably probably not, it's probably.
Speaker 4 (39:13):
Not Sunday STURFD again, and then thought I was gonna
enjoy my day off instead. I put together the Stanford
Notre Dame game stuff for Saturday, which took me like
seven hours because I didn't want to deal with it
while I was back in Indiana with the family. So
and then last night we had my mother in law
here for Thanksgiving since we'll be out of town while
(39:33):
she'll be here, so she and the kids all cooked together.
And yeah, I ate a standard Thanksgiving meal last night,
and I have not had a bite to eat sofa
not embellichiu, and I have not had one single thing
yet today because I really got after it last night.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
That was quite enjoyable. And now, all right, what a
guy stand there?
Speaker 3 (39:50):
Right there. Put your big face in the can.
Speaker 4 (39:52):
Okay, look, he's like kept texting him. He had to
be twenty feet tall. It was incredible, all right, Kates.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Pretty lame weekend for me. Guys just works, you know,
just left.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
You had a good weekend, but you're disheartened after that weekend.
Speaker 6 (40:07):
I mean I just worked on Saturday, had Louisville SMU
and nine am on Compass Media Networks. Girls drove back
from Arizona for Thanksgiving, so that was great. We all
hung out Saturday, and yeah, Sunday, went to work again
at Compass Media Networks for the Raiders broadcast. That was
a long seven hour broadcast because the Raiders lost to
(40:30):
Chador Sanders, like a lot of people thought they would
lose to him on Sunday because he played okay and
got the wind. And yeah, tough time right now for
the Raiders. Did go out Saturday night, forgot about that.
We went and got drinks at the old tin Horn
Flats in Burbank is now new ownership and a new
inside and outside called Magnolia Corner. Right, Magnolia Corner.
Speaker 7 (40:51):
I believe that was yes, Magnolia Corner.
Speaker 6 (40:54):
So we went there and celebrated my brother in law's
fiftieth birthday, and shout out to the owner who was
really nice and the bartender there as well. Great people,
great service, great new spot that has reopened under new
management and new ownership. So I had a good time,
all right.
Speaker 7 (41:11):
Best part about it, Tim still has those fancy saloon
doors right there. That's iconic.
Speaker 6 (41:17):
People, may me remember that used to be the spot
for the Bears viewing parties, back.
Speaker 3 (41:21):
Where fully functional employee Adam used to rip up napkins
and a giant pile. Yeah, that's the very place right there, Ronnie.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
How doing that?
Speaker 7 (41:30):
Guys, had a nice weekend. Didn't do much, as you
know myself. I just hung out.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
Saturday.
Speaker 7 (41:37):
Was up fishing out stuff out of the pool, you know,
because we are dealing with the inclement weather and so
I had to fish out some branches and the like.
Made a Costco run to pick up some wine and
some other accoutrement for Thanksgiving. Watched some college foosball and
some NBA basketball, and ordered a pizza pie. And yes,
(41:59):
I did drink some Odello especial. That is the beer
of choice at my place, and not only because they're
a sponsored it's because it's good beer.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (42:09):
Sunday was all about NFL foosball, some housekeeping along with
other domestic chores to get ready for the work week
and the week of Thanksgiving. And that was my weekend.
Speaker 3 (42:19):
What about you p anything, You really keep the hatches
batten down when it's raining, Ronnie.
Speaker 7 (42:26):
Well, you know, stuff gets in the pool and once
once you know, the the the pump and the filter
turns on. If you got all that stuff in there,
the pump gets clogged and you can you can burn
out your pump. And those pumps are like like fifteen
dollars to replace.
Speaker 6 (42:40):
Since we're shouting out, we drank over the weekend. While
I was at Magnolia Corner, I had a couple of
light beers from Paperback Brewing one night with Nora. One
night with Nora.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
Was what it's called. It's the Blonde. Very good, Okay,
real nice Paperback Brewings. I local their Kates Glendale.
Speaker 6 (42:57):
Yes, but they serve it at the Magnolia Corner. One
night with no It's a blonde very good, all right.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
Well, I was in Las Vegas on Friday to call
the UNLV Hawaii game for the Ninth Island Golden Pineapple Trophy.
Got to see Dennis Thurman, our old dB coach at
USC who recruited me to USC. He's the defensive coordinator
at Hawaii, so that was really nice. And I got
to see Vontees Berfect who came up to me. I
(43:25):
didn't recognize him, and it was really great to see him.
And Allegiate Stadium very cool, very cool stadium and never
done a game there, and you could fit a in
airplane in the TV booth there. Flight was delayed, but
got to San Diego. It was only it was delayed
three hours, but I knew the night before so we
(43:45):
slept in so we knew it was going to be delayed.
And then we did the Aztec game at Snapdragon, which
is crazy because the Aztecs are really good. They're gonna
win ten games this year and Sean Lewis is a
great coach and he might get a lot of run
for another job. I don't know if he'll take it yet.
San Diego is a pretty special place. But they don't
(44:06):
draw at Snapdragon. No, it's the weirdest. I think they
need the lower prices or something because they don't draw
like they should. They're a good team and the soccer
team there draws and they're shooting off fireworks and you know,
running around like the LAFC and all that. But it's
just not that way for San Diego State, and it's odd.
Speaker 4 (44:27):
It doesn't make sense. You got forty thousand people at
that school and a good team. How the hell are
you not packing that place?
Speaker 3 (44:32):
And it's not like it's far like Sofi is from
the Rose Bowl. I mean it's you do have to drive,
but it is interesting. I wish they drew better, but
San Diego State's really good. They beat up on San
Jose State. And then I got driven home by a
very nice shuffer and poolman who's a big listener of
our show, So that was nice. Sunday, I did yoga
(44:55):
with Mayu at Kefie Yoga, my normal ten am Sunday class,
and I got my truck from the airport because I
left it there. I should have just dubered, but I
forgot about that part of it that I wasn't flying
back to La anyway. And then I went with my
wife and daughter to crem de la Crepe in Redondo
(45:16):
for a three pm Eggs Benedict And that was my weekend.
And we'll be right back with more petros and money.
We got the word number, song of the day. We'll
talk about sc We'll talk some NFL. We have quick hits,
dead and alive. A lot of stuff between now and
Monday night football. Panthers, Niners,
