Mike Golic Jr. on high school football superstitions, playoff snubs

Mike Golic Jr. joined Go Fight Win with Wes Blankenship to talk about his high school football glory days in Connecticut.

Golic Jr. had a dominant team, but sometime the program’s uniform choices cost the team wins.

At least that’s what Mike Golic Jr.’s high school football coach believed after an entire starting defense cramped out in black alternate jerseys.

Golic Jr.’s team not only took a torpedo from their uniforms. They also missed the postseason when another team forfeited.

Headlines and underwater football

This week’s episode also included the best / most absurd high school football headlines from the previous Friday night.

Among the topics I analyze:

The lights that mysteriously went out during a Tennessee high school football game, just as the visiting team was driving to win.

A horse mascot that left its mark on the 50-yard line and delayed the game.

Rush Propst doing Rush Propst things.

You also submmitted stories for me to read on the show from your own high school football glory days.

Joel sends in a wild one about a Savannah, Georgia high school football field that turned into a pond during a penetration overtime game.
