LAFC Stunned, Black Friday, Blake Snell and More
Happy Thanksgiving Y’ALL! West Coast Sports for your long weekend
Hey Now, last weekend was a movie. Kendrick dropped a surprise album and I’ve heard it all-over Los Angeles. Folks were knocking Luther and many other songs at the UCLA-USC tailgate I went to on Saturday. The game was great, until it fell apart for UCLA. Regardless, If you don’t like GNX , you probably didn’t grow up in the ‘90s or you don’t care about West Coast Hip Hop. Squabble up and turn the TV off.
The Sounders upset the LAFC in Los Angeles last Saturday in Los Angeles. With the win, Seattle punched their first chance at a conference title since 2020. The No. 1 seed LAFC hadn’t lost to the Sounders in years.
Now, Seattle will face the LA Galaxy on Nov. 30 at 7 PM. The Galaxy routed Minnesota 6-2 last week. This is the Galaxy’s first trip to the Western Conference finals since 2014, the last time they won the MLS cup.
Otherwise, enjoy all the Black Friday and Thanksgiving sports. The Raiders will play the NFL’s Black Friday game. California natives QB Jordan Love (Packers) and WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (Lions) are some of the West Coast legends that headline the Thanksgiving slate of games.
NBA FANS: The Clippers, Lakers, Blazers and Kings all play on Black Friday too.
