Dan Arritt at the LA Times’ “Varsity Times Insider” blogs about Barstow beating Victor Valley in the DSL to earn a playoff spot and acts like an obnoxious jerk about it (at least he linked to Matt’s story).

Arritt writes: “I don’t think there’s been this much excitement in Barstow since McDonald’s starting selling Angus burgers.”

I don’t know, there might have been more excitement in Barstow when our boys cross-country team won the state championship a couple of months ago for the third year in a row, but I suppose it’s too much to expect Mr. Arritt to keep track of a bunch of provincial hicks like us. Nobody tell him about the citywide riots we had when McDonald’s ran out of McRibs that one time or we’ll never hear the end of it.
