I hate when coaches schedule games they have a zero chance of winning: Is traveling to some city or state really worth the embarrassing 40-50 point undressing? Are you gonna remember the museum you went to, or how another football team made you look like an incompetent Pop Warner team?

Or the check your athletic department cashed?

OOS games are typically very expensive and use up all the money given. There are a few instances of bumming it by taking a bus and not staying in a hotel overnight. But that’s a shitty drive. And a coach and AD prostituting their team out for a few bucks. Terrible

Everyone, well a lot of programs want the instant notoriety that comes with of playing OOS.  There was a time when those games happened between neighboring states that were close in proximity OR perennial powerhouses that had something to prove against other powerhouses.  Now it's a free-for-all and it severely diminishes the worth of those games.  I can respect Coach Castle for knowing when to risk it and when to sit his ass down, lol.

Yet you and your buddy Shyster Joe demand teams consistently play these very expensive, and very time-consuming games. If they don't, you call them p*ssies and talk about their coaches not having "the chest" to "challenge" his boys. :huh:

 Not me. I don’t call teams that for NOT playing the games. I will never call a bad team a name for refusing to play a good team. It’s the opposite. The elite teams who play garbage are the punks.

But when discussing a team you think should play OOS, you refuse to acknowledge that, no matter how strong the team is or isn't, the financial costs and extreme travel conditions may explain the lack of OOS game. Instead, it's always that the coach doesn't have "the chest" to challenge his players, that you wouldn't want your son to play for such a man, etc.

I think you are talking about Camden Co or most those South GA teams who play the worst of the worst

It is my understanding that Lakeland had a good but not great Georgia team lined up for a game, and the GA team reneged with limited or no notice. You hear anything about that? 

I did not but it doesn’t surprise me at all considering Georgia is a coward state and what I mean by that they are overrun with coaches and AD’s that pretend to be tough and hard nosed Southern style football but then act like they have skirts on when it’s time to schedule. Most seek out the worst they can find. Only some have the balls to play even tough teams and most likely the coaches are from somewhere else

So my guess is the GA team found a much weaker opponent

I think the team was Newton from Covington, which I had never heard of. They have a home game with Douglas Co scheduled the week they were supposed to come to Lakeland. Not a marquee team, but much better than no game at all, and being stuck with three home games for the season as L has.

What’s the week? The date

Florida took a pounding this week in OOS games. Hats off to Bishop Gorman for coming to South Florida to play STA.

All were good games even though our top teams lost to national top teams. Can't earn national respect when getting beat head to head against teams about the same caliber. 

On another note, Florida High Schools will continue to turn the second most NFL players just a few players behind Texas. IMG being #1 in the nation, #2 STA and #3 AHP are the top 3 national HSF programs with current active NFL players.

    • Agree. Everything could be avoided if they did what i said. Consolidate classes down to 4, and force teams who have a set number of transfers participate in an open division. Come up with a number. 5 transfers per year. Whatever number seems right. That way the all star transfer factories can duke it out for one title, and the other 4 playoff brackets will at least be a respectable.    If they create the open division with 7-8 classes next year, every bracket is gonna be beyond embarrassing and make Florida the mockery of the country. You will have glorified 2nd round losers being called state champions 
    • I hope it grows too. To about 500 members! Some of the SSAA teams were or would be playoff teams in FHSAA.  You are correct, they have zero chance of winning a championship in FHSAA.  Some are figured that out. About 400 or so need to come to the same conclusion. 
    • Most Manatee die hards, consider the 1993 title game against Southridge, a nightmare game where anything that could go wrong did in fact do that. I want to say Southridge had 2 kickoff returns for TDs, 1 Punt return for a TD, at least 1 (possibly 2 INTs returned for a TD), I believe there was also a hail Mary at half for a TD. The 1984 19-14 playoff loss to Lakeland, probably burns in die hards guts than the 1993 contest. Manatee was a heavy favorite going into that game, but 2 turnovers inside the Lakeland 10 proved ultimately to be Manatees undoing and denied Manatee any chance at back to back titles
    • I think they are small schools.    Marathon - about 700 (grades 6-12) Coral Shores - under 800 Key West - about 1,300
    • I'm always amazed there are enough kids to support three keys high schools: Key West, Coral Shores and Marathon high schools.
