Columbia over Madison County.

Hmm interesting pick broward

 

I was thinking that earlier but i personally had doubts if it would really count as a upset because it a 1a regional finalist vs a 7a second round playoff team,  but that should be a good week 5 matchup

To tell you the truth I wouldn't seriously pick against IMG even in any out of state games. Maybe if they went up against Boston College or Eastern Carolina I just may pick against them. Not really sure though. :unsure::D

They not that big and bad,  they can be beat

 

If sta can lose twice and IMG can give up 49 to centennial then anyone in the country can lose on any given night

 

I'm looking forward to seeing the invincible get there comeuppance which will come soon

 

Besides i think this northwestern team at least 10 points better than the AHP team who beat them 2 years ago

" IMG - They not that big and bad"

That AHP team (2015)  May have been better than last year's AHP team (2016) that actually won @ Northwesten. 

That Centennial team had arguably the best Offense in the nation last year.

IMG is big and bad. Don't be a fool.

Yeah but 2017 northwestern likely better than 2016 northwestern

I do think they can be beat but if IMG is not " big and bad" - who is?

 

 If IMG us not "big and bad" than what does that make of teams like Columbia?

I don't think there a single team who can't be beat

 

Everyone beatable broward 

 

 

So to answer there is no team that is big and bad if that means that a team has to be unbeatable

Sure they can. There are probably about a whole 100 teams in America at best, including MNW) that would have a shot on the right day. 

The other 20,000 have NO SHOT. 

IMG is big and bad in the HS Football world whether you want to accept it or not.

But they can lose like anyone else can right?

When i say big and bad I'm inferring that they are different from the other teams but they are not 

 

They can lose like anyone else can 

 

They might beat normal teams and even beat great teams but they can lose like any other team in the country can, wouldn't you agree?

    • Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?
    • Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school. 
    • I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle. 
    • Wait are you saying there is a rule that bars an adult mentor who coaches young men a sport from helping a struggling student athlete and his family with transportation? Whoa that’s next level crazy.    “Hey coach I’m on the side of the road and almost got hit. I’m miles from school and it’s 110 degrees out. Can you get me a ride?” ”Sorry. Some turds 6 hours away in Gainesville said I can’t. Hope you don’t get hit or pass out.” 
    • Say what you want, justify it however you want, wish the rules weren't what they are, but there is no question that a coach or other school representative paying for Uber rides for kids playing sports is a violation of the existing FHSAA rules.  Period.  And Teddy Bridgewater may be or have been an elite athlete, may be or become an excellent high school football coach, and/or may have his heart in the right place, but tweeting out a message to the world that you have done something that undoubtedly constitutes a violation of the rules is just plain stupid.
