A panel of U-T San Diego sports writers, plus former Tribune writer and prep historian Rick Smith, have selected an All-Time San Diego Section Football Team.
The team will be unveiled in the Sunday, Feb. 10 edition of the newspaper. In all, the panel selected a first, second and third team, 93 players in all.
The school with the most players selected: San Diego High, with 17. The player who dates back the farthest: Pesky Sprott, who played at San Diego High in 1916.
Old-timers Nick Canepa, Bill Center and Smith pushed hard for Sprott.
?I think his name Pesky had a lot to do with it,? said another panelist, John Maffei. ?Had his name been Frank, he might have not made it.?
Sprott and more
Actually, Sprott?s credentials seem impeccable. According to the San Diego Hall of Champions, Albert ?Pesky? Sprott was one of seven San Diego High alums who played on Cal?s 1920 ?Wonder Team.?
The 1920 Golden Bears finished 9-0, including a 28-0 rout of Ohio State in the ?21 Rose Bowl. Sprott scored two touchdowns in the game, but it was a Cavers teammate who earned MVP honors: quarterback Harold ?Brick? Muller. ?
The 1920 Bears became the first West Coast team named as national champions. ? Cal was unbeaten from 1920 to ?25, posting a 46-0-4 record ?
By Tuesday, This Just In was suffering from Super Bowl XLVII burnout. Don?t care about Ray Lewis? preaching, pending retirement or if he used deer antler spray ?
Tired of the John and Jim Harbaugh angle. Now if you can track down the old man, Jack, who was an assistant coach under Jim at USD, get him telling yarns about the boys, that I?d be interested in reading ?
Until then, wake me up at 3:30 Sunday for the kickoff ?
Did you know? You can bet on the length of the Jim/John postgame handshake ?

The stretch drive
U-T headline: Aztecs to receive visit from five-star recruit; reaction: the five-star recruit, linebacker Reuben Foster, is from Auburn, Ala., and sports an Auburn tattoo on his forearm. Can?t blame the kid for vacationing in San Diego ?
Foster has commitment issues. He said he?d attend Auburn, but after the Tigers? brutal 3-9 season (0-8 in the SEC) and the firing of head coach Gene Chizik, Foster de-committed ? As for the tattoo, the ink remains ?
Former Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward, who retired after the 2011 season, will race at Ironman Hawaii in October as part of a promotion for REFUEL / Got Chocolate Milk ?
Ward will be in good care when it comes to preparation. His trainer: eight-time Ironman Hawaii champion Paula Newby-Fraser of Encinitas ?
Waste Management passes valuable tips on living green at your Super Bowl party. One suggestion pertains to pizza. ?After enjoying your favorite pie, recycle clean pizza boxes.?
One problem, says U-T military writer Jen Steele: ?If the box is clean, rather than dripping with tomato sauce, veggies and pepperoni stains, how good was the pizza??
