M&S

Madison fan here. I was at that game in 1999. That was a complete heartbreaker for us. Very exciting game! Tough ride home!

Madison has been this way for a while. Games are hard to come by. It is probably how the Columbia-Madison game survives. We need each other. Columbia doesn't gain much by playing Madison other than a good gate.

We really haven't had to run yet

Didn't we have two pass attempts after the interception when y'all stopped us at goal line?

I am not going to be able to make it. Hopefully it will be a good one.

This thread is going nowhere fast.

I agree.

That 2015 Trenton team with 13 running clocks gets my vote over Lakeland. That BTW team, all I can say is WOW! They were scary good.

Thanks for the props. Yes I heard he was back coaching again. Good man!

When I think of a team being described as "scrappy", the thought I have in mind is generally of a team with low numbers that love to hit you. Just trying to be more physical than you. A team that has to play above their overall talent. Columbia County does not fall into the "low numbers" class so it kind of removes them from the discussion. I meant no disrespect to Columbia County when I said what I said. They are a quality program. I meant it more as a compliment to Ft White. Just my opinion.

Perspective from a Madison County Fan. We have played Columbia County and Ft White our share of times over the years. We have had some good close games with both teams but overall Ft White's program has more respect from me. They remind me a lot of our team. Not always the most talented team but usually pretty scrappy. Columbia Fan you make the comment "And watch what happens this year". You must be planning on Columbia smoking us with that kind of talk.

That may be the case with some other schools but not in our case. I have lived here my whole life. I love my town and school but we are struggling educationally. The charter school was created because some parents wanted another option for their kids. This is a fact. It had absolutely zero to do with athletics. If anything, it has hurt the public school even more by taking funding away from the lost students. Also, the kids that went the charter route are not football players.

It blows my mind that you think the charter school was created to lower our numbers for athletics. Trust me, there is a lot more going on here than just some stupid football game.

LOL at this thread

Mceachern and lowness will prolly be a good one.

I probably will not make it to lake city next year. My kids have all graduated now and my priorities have changed. I just don't have a dog in the hunt anymore. I used to never miss a game but now hardly ever make road trips. I try to catch the home games. Lake city will probably return the favor to Madison next year because we graduate a good many I think.

I am a long time lurker. Occasional poster. I didn't just find this board. Just because I don't post on every thread here doesn't make me a bad fan. I lurked thru all of the badmouthing that madison took all year here because I wasn't looking for a fight. Columbia, you are a good dude. You love your school and rep them well. All of our schools need more fans like you. You are guilty of being a homer but there is nothing wrong with that. Truce?

That's deep bro! I had to think about that thing to get it to make sense. Still not sure I got it. Lol

He did madison county the same way. He will probably still have Columbia ahead of madison in his poll.

He's checking his records.

Wow haven't seen Willie on the boards in a long time. For that matter other than Badbird I haven't seen any of the the slaps in a long time. I don't post much here. I just lurk for the most part. No Lonewolf sightings either unless he is going by a different name. Havent seen him since he closed the 4F(I think it was something like that)board.

ColumbiaFan, I could have sworn Columbia was rotating their QB's in the first half before one of them got hurt. It seemed like every other drive they would swap. I could be wrong.

Like I said, I applaud the effort. Not many folks would even do it

Columbia, I applaud the effort but the video offers very little. Not much to be gained viewing it. Also Madison lost their qb before the half as well. We played the second half with a backup. Your kicking failures only put you even with us. You saw us going for two after scores. There is a reason for that. Your first score was a gift when we gave you the ball at the 8 yd line after a fumble. We also missed a score just before the half when our guy fumbled going in for a score. We had our share of missed opportunities as well and we gave you some gimmes.

I'd love to see Madison and Columbia match up again. It would be a good gate.
