Fooball

Something I've learned over the past two weeks is that if your team isn't #1 or #2 you don't get your pictures on OC Varsity. So, since our last ranking was #6 in the County, we aren't getting any press. Here's what I was able to scrounge up for this week's pictures.

The Mater Dei Quarterback Matt Barkley
We won't meet up with him until our last league game,
but he's rated #1 in the country and has already signed with USC.
People have started talking NFL already.

Our band lined up for the National Anthem.
Coin toss going on in the background.
John at far left.

John and other piccolo players, all freshman women.
We call this his "Harem."
They are part of the woodwind section but the girls have
voted John their honorary section leader.

Lancers taking the field along with our silly
Mascot, Ollie (for "Orange Lutheran).
The alumni paid for that costume.

I've already heard of that QB on ESPN

I found John in the band line-up before you even told me where to look.

I don't think your mascot is silly at all - - - he reminds me of the MSU "Sparty" mascot, only Sparty wears green.

Okay, the mascot isn't SO silly, but is he smiling or grimacing?

I think the mascot's smile is more of a grimace - - - a THREATENING grimace.

Perfect for a mascot.
