7 Friday Night

It's opening week in the Sac-Joaquin Section! Ben and Chace mark the occasion by making predictions on some of the key matchups, and Coach Terry Eidson returns to face Ben in a battle of SJS trivia. The matchup was described as "scintillating," though we're not sure it reached that bar. There were laughs, though. Also, with the rest of the sections in their scrimmage week, Ben and Chace pick Coach Eidson's brain on how the De La Salle coaching staff would approach scrimmages. Finally, SportStars Magazine released its 10th Annual Football Preview special edition this week. Ben talked about what he learned while working on his Preview feature that posed the question, "What will "normal" look like during this fall season?"

Chace welcomes Ben back to high school football punditry as the two hosts recall their glory years as the stars of the briefly popular video series, "Two Geeks And A Pigskin." Ben shares of his experiences getting back into high school football reporting and the two talk about some of the themes they've come across while talking to coaches over the first week and a half of practices. Finally, they introduce the one person they hope can put a legitimate face on this project — regular guest star, recently-retired De La Salle-Concord coaching legend Terry Eidson. Terry shares about adjusting to coaching retirement and what he does and doesn't miss about the first weeks of practice. Incredibly, it all went quite smoothly for a first episode.
