  1. Have to agree with Skyway, had it not been for the officials this game would have been 48-3 rout. On a single "TD Drive" if you can call it that, the penalties that kept the drive alive were minor in comparison with two fumble recoveries by SFA that the officials ruled they weren't; the second one just before the receiver crossed the goal line and fumbled it through the back of the endzone for a touchback. Even the announcers had to point out the truth as it was self-evident. The number of penalty yards accumulated by SFA may have been called for, but Venice OL can be seen holding on virtually every pass play and weren't called once for it. Look at their schedule, it pays to stay at home.

  2. Live, on national TV tonight, the officials demonstrated how bad the officiating crisis is at the moment. It was a profound embarrassment for the officiating profession. That is, of course, assuming it was not a matter of full-blown, corrupt, cheating that we watched tonight.

  4. He's officially a Mustang Should step in as QB1 and will have an easier slate of games to get acclimated to the playbook and team. Their next 2 games are against Holy Trinity and Heritage. After that they go into district play starting with Eau Gallie.

  6. Too much to comment in depth on now. Other than the usual exploitation of the awful offsides rule by Venice, there were several absolutely egregious calls against SFA. A Venice WR was running completely upright, was stripped of the ball...and then the play was called down. Several false starts by Venice weren't called. It was as bad as I can remember. And that's saying a lot given how bad the officiating often is in Florida.

  7. Weather forecast as of now has thunderstorm probability of a high of 68% (at 4pm) to a low of 38% through the 9:00 hour. 64% chance for the 7:00 hour. So, still a tossup, but looks like a chance for the game to be played after some delay. I gather there's increased urgency to get the game in. So, hopefully it won't be too fucked up by the weather. I can't get a good enough read on the game to make a pick. After this game, I'll be able to make picks for the rest of Lakeland's games.

  10. With the spineless pansies we have "managing" college and prep football now, look for this kind of thing to be the next big trend. We're going to see more of this.

  11. I understand your thinking, but that doesn't seem to be the vibe in Tampa right now. That said, I'm a little surprised the family didn't make arrangements for the kid to finish out the school semester and the football season - living with another family, if necessary (which I believe would be OK since Jesuit is a private school and what district he lives in is irrelevant). Yes, there are some rumors that he was about to lose his starting job (cannot confirm or deny those rumors), but there are several teams in the Tampa Bay area that could use a good QB. It seems a little odd that the family would just pick up and move across the state, taking the kid with them, in the middle of the season, even if the kid had been told he was being benched. Seriously, think of the costs associated with that decision -- selling a house, buying a new house, moving across the state, forfeiting any tuition they paid for Jesuit, etc. For what it's worth, if I were ever in that position, I'd want to know that I'd be transferring into a good situation where I had assurances that I'd be able to play right away. That means I'd need to know the new school's situation, the new school's coach and be reasonably confident that I'd be able to play this season at the new school. I don't think that last item is something that you can get cleared/approved in advance by the FHSAA or whoever else has a say in that determination.

  12. Taking the games away from unruly fans makes sense. But, perhaps leaders can think of ways to ensure a better, more accountable crowd is present. Maybe require an ID to enter, and a scan of IDs for all who are unruly, followed by a ban, arrests etc. The "community" is not a thing. What you have are a handful of knuckleheads ruining it for everyone.

    In NE Florida, I have seen quite a bit of mediocre coaching the past couple of weeks. Everybody runs the same thing on offense (and nobody does it well) and then just stays in their base defense all night regardless of what’s happening. If somebody would do something different, they could mop up in this area. It’s pretty horrible to watch. The penalties are higher than I’ve ever seen. It’s a disservice to the kids and the communities.
