no debate on that! winning does bring better players in, we all know that. and with the pretty open transfer rule, kinda, sorta, its free agency season in some places!

agree with alot of what you said, the 2nd round deal is because of travel, add in you get some home made rivalrys that arent a natural one. like osceola has played dr phillips several times the last few years in the 2nd or 3rd round, im old dont remember which one. rpi is interesting, i dont like it much, but it sure does make you figure out some schedules if your in 1 of those tough districts. just to get in the dance

hold the phone, let the h8 pour out. kudos on the state title, but dont throw stones. winter park the last 3 seasons 18-loss in 2nd round to state champ mandarin 17-region finals, played spruce creek apopka and wekiva in playoffs. pretty solid group 16-region finals, played wekiva, timber creek and seminole, again, solid group. seminole was loaded that year mandarin last 3 seasons 18 state champs 17 didnt make playoffs 16 didnt make playoffs sun shines on a dogs @$$ every once in a while, but hard to say another team is soft, or sucks or plays a weak schedule when they were in 2nd round or better last 3 seasons. and consistently one of the better schools in football in central florida. they also win the states all sports award more times than anyone I can think of.....

3 way tie, goes to RPI. when will that be decided? after week 11 or after the last district game? would only make sense after week 11, but........ so 1030 friday night, whos celebrating a district title? or are they waiting til after week 11 game and the selection on that sunday AM?

winter park and timber creek, both metro orlando teams, have their non district schedule handed to them by the county....im sure you could get either one to play someone besides metro teams. they are (most of the time) in the same district too. last couple years Winter park has faired pretty well in playoffs was a missed kick, I believe, from beating seminole 2 or 3 seasons ago and being a final 4 team.

sorry if this is already been discussed, new rpi comes out on tuesdays?

they must not be that sorry, look at the discrepency in opponents win %. its enormous. your 7-0 team aint played anyone any good, thus your 7-0. thats the hand dealt with this stupid system. go back to winners and runners up, wild cards in region, drop back to 6 classes, etc... darterblue said something in another thread about this that is exactly what is needed....

why is it smh? i see yall are 7-0, thats great, but opp win % is .345, cant help it if teams you play in district are not any good, but the out of district must be bad too......thats THE factor thats hurting! just sayin

best players in south florida, in terms of #s. best coaches in central florida, without question, they do more with less talented players. but jimmies n joes win yearly. you can out chalkboard another coach to death, but cant teach speed n size and that stuff. south florida has it, and they dont really know what to do with it on a yearly basis. and it shows when they play oos teams. central florida cant compete with oos schools because of the lack of the sheer # of jimmies n joes. throwing 9 balls all day or playing man coverage isnt coaching much..... but my guy better than yours, then that 9 ball is a touchdown and nothin other team can do about it. when matched up talent for talent, thats when sidelines, press box, hudl reports, knowing what the he77 your talking about and the kids believing what kool aid your selling, florida tends to lose more of those games than they win just sayin,,,

thats a great bunch of info. looking at team a and team c, they have a pretty weak schedule. rpi rankings couldnt get here soon enough. jeez....

so the team a beats b team b beats team c team c beats team a all 3 are 1-1 it goes to head to head-well all 3 tied winning %. is the determinant. gotcha

how they change this? i dont know if i ever saw how they changed it, used to do monday 3 team shootout, but i know they changed it, but to what

dist 4 is abysmal. wow. basically throwing crap against the wall and whichever sticks is the dist champ. wow.

unfortunately orange county teams all play each other before they work towards playing out of orange county, same as seminole for the most part.

99% good one. i can think of 3 orange county schools, 2 osceola county, 2 seminole county, 1 lake, 5plus hillsborough, that all recruit. add in broward county, dade county, duval county and im sure there are atleast 30 more..... 99% is pretty dam high

its 100% necessary, finish off the spring work with a game. its the kids and coaches pay day. you work 19 days to get paid on the 20th. is it an eval? sure is. for the entire program. learn how to do this, that and the other, as well as perform on friday night. and what if, your the hard luck program that doesnt win much. the spring game may be the super bowl to jump start the program going forward. beat somoene that you may not have any business beating and it can catapult the kids into a better frame of mind. does it mean much, not really, but it sure can help a losing program turn the corner.

i actually think it may be against the teacher code of ethics/conduct to have out of school un monitored communications with students. if that is the case, I really dont know, could get fired if a parent didnt like it and took it to the powers that be. just saying

remind, not a sms. remind can be set to 1 way message the players. having the kids reply to text is setting up a dangerous situation, in my opnion. remind is good because of the 1 way part, dole out the information to everyone and be done. now if kids have questions, idk what to say, or if they need to let you know something, im not sure about that either. teachers texting my kid, i dont think I would be a big fan of that.

while I will say that its great what the colts do, but to be perfectly honest, what in the hell is there to do in indiana during december? its cold, rainy/snowy, windy, temps in the 30s at night.... thats why 7k show up. there aint much to do..... take disney, universal, the beach away from floridians, all during december, when its somewhat 60-80 every day and nights on the low end of 60s, sometimes, and they may pack the citrus bowl, as there wouldnt be much to do. if the roof was put on, and weather of no type was concern(have been when its rainy, or foggy, or chilly cold) may see a bit of an increase of 4k in people. too many things to do on a friday or saturday night in orlando, vs indianapolis.

WOW..... I sure hope it gets cleared up, never struck me as that kinda guy.....

6 quarter rule denied. ADs stated, policing it would be a nightmare. but the RPI rankings stuff went thru.

on that note, it wasnt that long ago one of the gierke brothers had them back to like 10-0 or something. they kept the kids from the area from transferring to surrounding schools. and some great coaching, kids bought in and they were really good. there was a newspaper article about the quick turnaround, 1-9,6-4,9-1 or something like that. then he got fired? and they fell apart again

the 6 qtr rule is long overdue, but yes someone is going to be paperwork crazy. and yes those numbers will be fudged. I asked the same question, is 1 play a quarter? probably doesnt constitute a full quarter if he was only involved in 1 play, but if he played 4 plays, 1 in each quarter? is that 4 quarters? some logistics that needs to be talked about. the rpi,,,,,like said above who you played, played, played played, and you get x amount of points for each of those things to warrant wether you made playoffs. seems like just another ignorant step in the process of determining who should and who shouldnt make it. leave it the same, just lower the loss points by 5 and you dont have a coin flip for 0-10 team getting in like we did this year..... we got beat a team that played good teams that played bad teams that played worse teams,,,,,not a good system. least from what we read so far....
