WE CAN’T GET YOU TICKETS, SO PLEASE STOP ASKING<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/video-the-big-game-no-we-cant-get-you-tickets<\/p>\n
Now, regarding the game, WHICH WE CAN’T GET YOU TICKETS TO<\/strong>, Poly has been struggling a little this year, but still looked like a powerhouse in a 38-3 win over Millikan, last week. Wilson, meanwhile, is having the best season in school history, sitting at 6-0 for the first time ever. The Bruins are ranked No. 1 in Division 7 and could win the school\u2019s first-ever football CIF-SS championship this year, but their fans are probably more excited at the prospect of beating Poly for the first time since 1991.<\/p>\nAnother great thing:<\/strong> The rivalry series long known as \u201cThe Big Game,\u201d dates back to 1932, just a decade or so after Notre Dame\u2019s Knute Rockne revolutionized the game with the forward pass. Poly beat Wilson the first 11 times the teams played, but that didn\u2019t stop the game from looming large in the minds of Long Beach football fans, with more than 30,000 flocking to the Rose Bowl to see them play in the 1930s and 1940s.<\/p>\nGiving us a moment’s pause:<\/strong> Because Poly has dominated the Big Game for so much of its history, Poly fans will occasionally turn their noses up at the idea that it\u2019s a rivalry, citing how one-sided it\u2019s been. That\u2019s silly, of course. The game is older than the Cowboys, 49ers, Patriots, Colts, and a total of 26 NFL franchises. There\u2019s too much passion over too much time wrapped up in it to call it anything other than what it is: Long Beach\u2019s oldest, and best, rivalry to which WE CAN’T GET YOU TICKETS<\/strong>.<\/p>\nWe’d usually write where Wilson is located here but, c’mon, if this game means something to you, you know very well where Wilson is located. And, honestly, we don’t want to encourage anyone to drive down to Wilson in the hopes of sneaking in, so we’re not going to do that. And don’t be coming down, hoping to see us and hitting us up for tickets since, as we’ve made perfectly clear …<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We can’t get you tickets!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":70547,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","inline_featured_image":false,"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":"","_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_":"","_author_alias":"","cap-aim":"","cap-description":"","cap-display_name":"","cap-first_name":"","cap-jabber":"","cap-last_name":"","cap-linked_account":"","cap-newspack_employer":"","cap-newspack_job_title":"","cap-newspack_phone_number":"","cap-newspack_role":"","cap-user_email":"","cap-user_login":"","cap-website":"","cap-yahooim":"","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_email_html":"","newspack_email_type":"","newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_hide_page_title":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_show_share_buttons":"","newspack_sponsor_byline_prefix":"","newspack_sponsor_disclaimer_override":"","newspack_sponsor_flag_override":"","newspack_sponsor_only_direct":"","newspack_sponsor_url":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_show_updated_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7950,2],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[2518],"class_list":["post-8839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hi-lo","tag-do-this","tag-the-7","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8839"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8839\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70547"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8839"},{"taxonomy":"newspack_spnsrs_tax","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newspack_spnsrs_tax?post=8839"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=8839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
