And people wonder why all the newspapers are going broke.

[New and Improved Message Board!]

So will be a national board? If so I understand wanting to grow your brand but your focus on florida high school football was what made.this so great.

[Keiser University (NAIA) to launch football program in 2018]

They only lost by THREE

I watched the game it wasn't the margin just the way UWF was able to do pretty much what they wanted to on offense.  Not really knocking FIT just surprised by how well UWF played.

[Keiser University (NAIA) to launch football program in 2018]

Florida Tech is a decent D2 progam.  Not a fair comparison to NAIA.  That is like comparing UCF to Florida Tech!  Bloodbath!

West Florida (first year program) beat Florida Tech pretty good a couple of weeks ago

[Keiser University (NAIA) to launch football program in 2018]

I guess they will play Devry, University of Phoenix, SNHU online, and Capella University.

[Big games in 1A this week]

Now everybody can get down to business, I love this part of the season.

[Playoff Watch: Class 1A -- Week 8]

I sure like that photo lol

[Northwest Florida Football]

Would port st Joe be a top 10 team in the panhandle based on the fact of being the best 1a team out of the region and being in championship for past2 years and a good chance to go back this year?

I don't think so.  You have some consistently strong 1A schools in the panhandle year in year out,  Baker,Blountstown, and Port St Joe.  These teams will have years where they are around the top ten but that is when the big schools are down.  I think the big schools in the Pensacola area are in an upswing right now, Bay County is still down. 

[Hurricane Matthew and the site]

I think you have been doing prettygood with it and appreciate the effort.  This week was crazy and there are more important things than football(not many though). Yall did a great job with the updates during the storm.  Keep plugging away on the sos polls so that you have it all figured out for next year.  Thanks for all yall do.

[where is the week 7 scoreboard]

Port St Joe       25

Taylor County  32

 

Taylor County was impressive big and fast and learning under Coach Tanner Jones.  They have come so far in the last year it's amazing.  3A best beware.

 

As for PSJ the boys need to focus on district play and execute.

[OT: All time hurricanes to hit Florida]

Hurricane's 31 Florida 4 (1987)

That's just mean.  

[OT: All time hurricanes to hit Florida]

I considered Opal but never reached a Cat 5 status - even off shore.  

 

 

I would say Allen, Ivan, Mitch, Gilbert and Oval are all under consideration and knocking at the top 10 door.

The problem with Opal was it formed and hit with very little warning.

[OT: All time hurricanes to hit Florida]

Opal in 1995 and Ivan in 2004.  Both hit the panhandle and flooded Alabama.

Opal hit the week before my first wedding and wiped out our venue. Sometimes God sends you a very obvious sign and you still don't heed it.  lol

[Hurricane Matthew Updates]

I wonder if since States is getting pushed up a week, and week 7 were to be cancelled statewide; would it be possible to push the remainder of the season up 1 week to complete the season?  Would the logistics be possible?

 

Are there any rules in place by the FHSAA which allows 2 games to be played in a week under certain circumstances - when post -season play is at hand?  We haven't crossed that bridge yet but does anyone know how the FHSAA determines districts  if not all games are played?

I think that's a good idea.  At least teams could make up district games to determine if needed for playoff implications.  I don't imagine a playoff bound team would want to risk injuries for a non district game.

[Hurricane Matthew Updates]

Hey Sportsnut25 thanks for the updates.  When do you think we will find out about game cancellations?

[Hurricane Matthew Updates]

Maybe we could rank all-time hurricanes that have hit the sunshine state?

Someone would want to then rank tropical storms,  you know the "jv" of tropical systems.  Hey if you evacuate head up to Lake City I'm sure Columbiafan will have a place for you. 

[No Pick'ems for week of Oct. 7]

I needed a week off my picks have been terrible lately

[Hurricane Matthew Updates]

I can't imagine they will play any games on the East coast.  You guys stay safe over there we will be praying for yall.  

[New Site Look!]

I like it it will just take a few days to explore it 

[BREAKING: FHSAA announces states to stay in Orlando, be played in single weekend]

I'm more worried about making it there again than where or what time.

[Friday Night Atmosphere...]

I love Friday nights, the band playing, the smoke from hamburgers on the grill, fried shrimp and gumbo at the concession stand.  Seeing the whole town from 8 months to 88 donning their purple and gold, cheerleaders,  the ROTC color guard during The Star Spangled Banner.  Watching the boys leave everthing they have out there on the field just for the love of the game.  Great stuff. 

 

I would also like to mention what a great atmosphere Baker High has especially late in the year when its about 45 degrees and they have the best hot chocolate.

[District Standings]

I tend to go too quickly to the varsity board and don't spend enough time on the home page. There is so much good info on the main site.   The Varsity Board allows us to get the opinions of people that are invested in one or two teams and their insight is invaluable.  The site as a whole is excellent and Josh and crew seem to be striving daily to make it better.  

[District Standings]

I guess I didn't look hard enough been back and forth to maxpreps all this time.  Should have asked long ago, keep up the good work.

[District Standings]

Thank you

[District Standings]

It would be nice to have District standings on the site so we could check out where everyone is without going to another site, I realize next year we won't have districts but maybe some sort of regional rankings.  Just a little something on my wish list.
