Football. The highest volume of unique visitors that I have had in a month since I started this blog is 2,100. I’ve been averaging a 200 person increase each month. This month? Over 3,100 unique visitors! It’s football, folks. I did a post about local coach Rich Cornford and visitors soared. I don’t think it’s because I wrote about the holes in my parent’s curtains, or the Kern County Fair, or the poem about baseball -fascinating as those subjects are. Just think what I could do if I knew anything about football. Apparently, people can’t get enough football.
Check in with The Bakersfield Californian to keep track of Rich Cornford’s team this year. This week, the Frontier Titans play West High School, where Cornford coached when Ryan Mathews was on his team. It’s always interesting when someone’s former team plays his current team. This picture of Mathews at practice was taken a few weeks ago by local photojournalist Johnny Guillen.
Who knows which players Rich will turn out next? He has two in the NFL and several at Fresno State right now. Matt Darr, who was a Titan last year, is the number one rated collegiate punter in the country and he just signed on with Tennessee. Keep an eye on Darr.
