    The truth is Vero doesn’t have the athletes or any type of feeder program up this way...Vero isn’t talented enough top to bottom to win an 8a state championship unless an immense amount of luck happened! The truth is they are a consistently good program just not a top tier program...I’m not delusional when it comes to Vero but I don’t think getting smashed by STA or IMG or even some of the elite Dade programs is going to help the program get any better! 

    You are exactly right. They don’t have the talent to win 4-5 games in 8A with the current coaching staff. They’d need a total overhaul with a great coach to do it. 

  2. First, let me congratulate all of the kids that have earned the opportunity to play in state championship games. I see as much talent as ever in today’s game. And I see a lot of dang good HS football players. 

    However, I am seeing some of the worst football I’ve ever seen here in the state. Teams are making the state championship game that I truly believe 10 years ago would’ve been 2nd round exit type teams. Penalties seem to be at an all time high, tackling an all time low, and a lack of fundamentals from top to bottom. Basic offensive and defensive schemes. And we simply have too many classifications. 
     

    Am I totally off base or am I onto something? If I’m onto something, what do you think could be done to remedy the situation?

    Though these may not be all of the biggest upsets in history, they are certainly amongst the most memorable.

     

    2011 Cooper City beats St Thomas Aquinas 21-16 at St Thomas during the regular season

    2008 Seminole beats 2-time defending state champion Northwestern 28-21 in the 6A final

    2007 Osceola scores 18 unanswered 4th quarter points in Lakeland to beat the 3-time defending state champs 25-21 and end their 53-game regular season winning streak

    2001 Haines City snaps Lakeland's record-setting 60-game regular season winning streak, beating them 2-0 in Haines City

    2001 Rockledge comes to the Muck and snaps nationally-ranked, 3-time defending state champ Glades Central's 47-game winning streak  

    2000 Venice beats defending state champ and nationally-ranked Lakeland 34-30 at Venice in the playoffs

    1998 Estero beats Lakeland 15-14 in the playoffs at Lakeland

    1996 Bartow beats nationally-ranked Bolles 14-13 in the 4A final

    1996 Piper beats St Thomas Aquinas 21-0 at Piper and won the district title 

    1989 JI Leonard beats powerhouse Riverview 15-14 in Sarasota in the playoffs 

    1987 Naples Lely beats Glades Central 26-20 in 2OT in the Muck in the playoffs

    The Bartow over Bolles game is the biggest upset. Bolles was ranked #1 in the country and the injuries they sustained in that game ended up being too much to overcome

    Maybe they can go try find Tom Brady high school coach, surely that will work like it did when they went after Tebow high school coach and thought it would bring a championship but instead only brought Columbia first losing season since 1986 and only 1 Playoff appearance in 3 years (columbia had previously only missed Playoffs once since 1993) :rolleyes:

     

    Or maybe Lloyd Carr if he not busy in his retirement might be interested 

    He couldn’t cheat and put kids zoned for Lee/Raines/St Aug/etc in apartments or living with coaches.

    The system we had in 1999-2000 was the best.  3 districts per region.  Champs and runner-ups get in; 2 at large spots with a simple point system

    I loved that. The best system I’ve seen so far.

  8. Columbia,

    All of this IMG stuff doesn’t matter, this is still the worst football I’ve seen in 20+ years. I go to games every Thursday/Friday night and what do I see? The same garbage spread offense. It all looks BAD. QB’s can’t complete simple throws, WR drops left and right, RB fumbles, and the same zone blocking schemes that kids can’t perform. I’m tired of this trying to be like college teams...we don’t have the time to be able to do those things.

    WELL, in defense of Madison County!  Sometimes they are some STUBBORN sons of a gun! In 2011, we pulled out a MIRACLE win against them, 20-19! And that was the year we got the big school semis stolen from us by USA TODAY #3 Grayson, at Grayson! And they had Wayne Gallman, starting RB for national champion Clemson, and top NFL draft choice Robert Nkemdiche!

    Those 2008-2012 Madison County teams were INCREDIBLE
