I took this as they are mad they aren't spending the night not that they won't have a bus.  

Yeah they feel some kind of way because how they feel is why do the cheerleaders & band get to go up Friday. 
 

but the football team has to travel the day of. Even though the drive is only 3 hours. Guess it’s the principle of it all.

You would think they would have it the other way around. But I guess they probably didn't secure somewhere to do walkthroughs Friday in Orlando eventhough they could possibly do it in the parking lot or banquet hall of the hotel. not tryna make assumptions though

Yeah because the game is Saturday night & as of right now the football players are set to leave for Orlando Saturday morning. 
 

but I’m sure before the end of this week that will change lol.

The entitlement of kids(probably the adults) today is amazing.  Maybe the cheer and band raised money to spend the night.   Did football raise money or do you just expect it to be given to you. Oh no we got to drive 4 hours play a game and then drive back home.  I hope Jones beats that ass.  

Entitlement more contagious than covid…..but lasts a lifetime.

That would definitely give Brevard teams a boost if they did lol well Rockledge, Cocoa and Melbourne.

AHP drove to Clearwater in the morning during the covid year, played the game, and then drove back after. No hotels. One hell day. Then they turned around and did it again to go play Bartram Trail. 
 

It can be done 

Something close to what Dillard did in 2020 as well. We had to travel to pahokee they Monday as a rescheduled matchup cuz of the hurricane. We traveled Monday afternoon got back late Monday night, and had another game Friday.

If we are talking about drive time, your example is apples and oranges.   Ft. Lauderdale to Belle Glade is barely over an hour each way.  Plantation to Clearwater is 4 hrs each way and to Jacksonville about 4 1/2 hrs.    Not even in the same ball park for the comparison Nolebull is referencing for the drive between MNW and Jones in Orlando.

I’m referencing to when both schools had to play two games in a span 4 days. 
 

it’s obvious the drive times from FTL to pahokee is nowhere the drive time of FTL to Orlando lol. I wish it was I’ll be in Orlando every weekend lol haha.

Maybe the AD and coaches knows those kids on the team and want to avoid an overnight stay and possible trouble and team embarrassment?  I dont know any of the MNW kids so I could be completely 180 degrees wrong with this but I do know how hard it is to control some of the wild kids who respect no rules.

That could be a possibility, but with the uproar from the alumni ; they’re gonna get their way b4 this week out, probably already did lol.

For those that don't know Northwestern don't play about their school they'll show up and show out.  I'm sure this situation is fixed 

There are some who might say that Jones and Northwestern are just having a little scrimmage to try new things out, see who will make the varsity, generally not care about winning or losing, and it will basically be like an NFL preseason game. How accurate is this?

:D

    • Okay, how about that STA vs. Ida Baker matchup in your first round?  Does your analogy extend to South Florida slappies?  My opinion is simply that no one (except CoachGraham, apparently) would be interested in the 1 vs. 512, 2 vs. 511, and 200 other mismatches such a format would produce, regardless of geography.  But I could be wrong.  And now I'm thinking I should have skipped college.  
    • Complaining about North Florida slappies losing to South Florida powers is like someone graduating high school complaining that companies are only hiring college graduates and not them. And then a company saying ok to make it fair, we will open division and only hire high school graduates.     
    • First I want to express my apologies for my absence the last few months. Without going into much detail I have had some personal life struggles I have been dealing with on top of figuring out the direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com in. Things have finally settled out some over the last few weeks although I am not completely out of the woods just yet. Some of the decisions about what direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com have been forming over this time while I went through things. Part of me wondered if it was time to go, but really it is not at all. Thankfully, a loyal supporter near me in Gainesville decided to put their mouth where their money is and did a little investing and today FloridaHSFootball.com launched its first-ever Mobile App. With that said it comes with the sunset of the MVP Membership Subscriptions and thus FloridaHSFootball.com will be 100% free for the first time in a while. This comes as needing to get the clearances with Apple and Google and the current subscription platform we have is not syncing with Apple's system nor with the App itself. Its best we go in this direction to grow fans again and being able to put them facing forward with an app on their phone going forward. Here are the download links for the apps: iOS (Apple): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US&gl=US   For now the forums will not be available directly in the app. At some point I maybe looking at changing the whole forum software that could eventually integrate into the app. It will be a while before this happens so things will go on as they are here.   I also apologize for any of the spam and troll accounts that have managed to find their way around the security protocols in setting up new accounts. It seems every day these things find ways to pass through control systems. I am going to be looking at getting this solved and will keep an eye on things here as we go along.   Please feel free to reach out to me if you all need anything, want to chat or have any suggestions.   -- Josh
