So he screws up the state football playoffs whining about his school not being able to compete with the big bad metro schools and then gets his way and goes to the biggest winner in 1a as is. Real nice. 

They hired Geno Thompson today.  He was the DC at West Orange and played there.  

I'm also going to text Price and tell him to ban Jessee from Madison games

This should be on the Madison page

I'm starting to think I need to start a new thread:
"All Things Columbia (a/k/a ColumbiaHighFan's Safe Place)."    

This should be on the Madison page

I've learned over the years that every now and then you need to do something for somebody else.  So, I decided to do this for Jesse.  I've created this thread -- Jesse's own little safe place, if you will.  As the title suggests, it's for people to come and share posts relating to Madison, but it's a place that Jesse can call his own.  
Obviously, the most important Madison (at least for Jesse) is the high school football team from Madison County, Florida, that, best I can tell, is the third best team in Florida, if not the country, behind only IMG and STA.   But, because this thread is for "All Things Madison," people should also feel free to discuss Madison, Wisconsin (home of the University of Wisconsin), Madison Avenue (in New York City, home to many of the nation's advertising giants) and James Madison University (in Virginia).   I'm afraid any discussion of James Madison himself (4th President of the United States) might cross over the line into the realm of politics, so we probably ought to keep those discussions off this thread.  However, I see no reason why we can't include conversations about James' wife, Dolley Madison.  And we can certainly discuss Dolly Madison Bakery products (I anticipate a rather 'healthy' debate over which are better:  Zingers or Golden Creme Cakes). 
Jesse, as for you, here is my suggestion:  when you run across a topic on this website that is related to high school football, but which really doesn't have anything to do with Madison, avoid the temptation to post in that thread and instead come back to this thread.  So, for example, if someone started up a thread to discuss how Venice would match-up against Lakeland, there is no reason for you to say "They both trash.  MadCo would put running clock on both of them."   Come to this thread and post:  "Who care about Venice and Lakeland.  They both trash.  MadCo would put running clock on both of them."   We all understand that once you've been triggered, you have to say something; it's simply a matter of you saying it in the right place.  And this is that right place.  Just don't be disappointed if you find yourself alone in this room a good bit of the time.  Like most of time.  Maybe even all the time.  Perhaps that will give you a little insight as to how much other people care about MadCo football. 
And, just to get the debate going, I'll go with Zingers.

Poor Horizon and LBV.  We know you are a new school but here is Edgewater and Jones.  Oh and Wekiva just in case the other 2 were not good enough.

If they are going independent put them on the independent list.  So now we are up to 3 schools they left off.  Sebastian and Liberty.  Why put out a list that doesn't include every team?  Don't you think it's important to get it right the first time?  How hard is it to double check the list and make sure you have all the schools and if the schools didn't fill it out send an email or make a call.  They missed teams last time they did this also.  I know Lake Minneola wasn't on the list last time.  It just shows complete lack of organization.  Don't rush out a half assed list.

Welcome to 3 team districts.  We now have 16 3 team districts.  I'm super excited for next year.

You could also buy a shirt with black and white stripes. 

Only because they recruited from 3 counties and on top of that went out of their way to intentionally try to injure our players but it won't stop us from scheduling teams like TCA or Bolles
 
When's the last time your program took on a private school of that level but our program is a whiny bitch? Until your stepping up your competition who the hell are you to talk shit about what my school does because most the metro teams in Jacksonville are still afraid of TCA and Bolles but Columbia has never been afraid to take them on 
 
Everyone on here thinks they are an expert but none of the clowns on here know a damn thing about 99% of the teams they talk about and no matter how much evidence is shown to prove it they gonna be right back next thread spreading the same bullshit again 
 
All because you all think STA and AHP are the problems but don't have a problem with Miami Central or Northwestern getting 20 transfers a season because you all think it's a one time thing WHEN IT HAPPENS EVERY SEASON 
 
Everyone accuses STA of recruiting when Dillard is getting as many transfers if not more than STA this year and nobody wants to talk about that 
 
Dillard has taken more players from DFB than STA and Cardinal Gibbons combined but Dillard the only school nobody thinks is recruiting in that conversation
 
Every damn thread on this board is like talking through a brick wall 
 
Oh and another thing my rankings are also better than anyone here considering I ranked all 8 state champs at highest in their classification in the preseason so I think I do a good job on evaluating the teams in this state but go ahead and keep believing everyone here's an expert but this board has tanked since guys like Broward and Zoe stopped posting because so many on here are either like Jesse where he jumps into conversations he knows nothing about or spread the same misinformation and lies in every thread and while debates used to be fun here now a days it's just embarrassing to even talk football here because nobody can even make the debates interesting

They can be a 1 team district.  I'm sure we will have plenty of 3 team districts, why not a 1 team district?  

This is your same response to the last change they made.  I know it won't work because I'm a football guy.  There will be 9 watered down classes.   Just because a team is in the metro doesn't mean they will get a lot of transfers and just because a team is not in the metro doesn't mean they won't get a lot of transfers.  Seminole County is Metro and they have way less player movement than Brevard or Polk who is Suburban.  Do you want me to start naming all the suburban schools that load up on transfers?  The suburban teams are happy because they don't have to deal with Miami schools or the really good private schools.  Suburban football will be a joke except for the few teams that get all the players.  
 
Where the frick am I crying about enrollment?  I've never said enrollment matters.  Once again you can't read or you put words into someone's mouth.  The only thing that matters is the 22 on the field.  The size of the school is not that important.  Cypress Creek has 4k kids and they would never beat Madison with 600 kids.
 
People like you is why we have this new stupid system.  You cry you can't compete with the large metro schools that get all the transfers.  Lee/Riverside was your DADDY.  You guys are just a bunch of whiny bitches.  Take your participation trophy if you ever win it.  By the way this new metro/suburban benefits my school.  I still think it's really dumb and not the right move.
 
The true answer is to move people up and down based on performance.  However this probably won't ever happen because people don't want to be called out for being garbage.

They can be a 1 team district.  I'm sure we will have plenty of 3 team districts, why not a 1 team district?  

How great would the playoffs be if the top 32 teams were in the same class.  We would have a true state champion.  
The same 80% of teams that were not happy with the old system won't be happy with this one.  They still won't be able to compete.  This system benefits very few teams and punishes others.
