I've always thought Hillsborough having that rule is a stupid rule to have

Welcome to the club.   I'd send you a membership card, but we ran out about 500 members ago.

Let me reword it. 

If you are hell bent on going to look at buildings in another state, please look for a team that you can actually compete with. 

I don’t think kids give a shit they went to some museum the same weekend they got embarrassed by 40. It’s irresponsible of the coaches to put their kids in an impossible situation. It’s stupid 

I had a roommate a long time ago that played for FCS Mississippi Valley State And they played some FBS team and lost by 70. He said it was the most embarrassed he ever felt playing football and he’ll never forget it. 

These coaches are creating memories for the negative

The FL wins in the original post that are bolded are games that were played on the road(underlined were played in FL).  STA, Miami Central and Booker T Washington each won 5 marquis games on the road.  These three teams combined accounted for 15 of the 26 road game wins.  We owe them props for reppin the state well.

2011 Cocoa had a brutal schedule.  The Tigers have been one of the most brazen in the state when it comes to stretching the limits of scheduling.

Yup also played Miami Central and U School that season ending with 5 losses in the regular season. Lost to BTW in the semis ending their journey for a 4peat. Game went to OT or 2OT down in Miami.

Playing in FL, the FL teams above were 15-10

Playing outside FL the FL teams above were 34-56

To account for home cookin', let's toss out all of the games above in which a home team(FL or OOS) won by 10 points or less.  The result?

OOS teams won 44 games and FL teams won 41 games

Cocoa is 3-7 in the games listed above

 Cocoa usually plays top 25 national teams in OOS. Several times playing the number one ranked national team and beating Abalene when they were ranked number 1 in the nation. Yes they have been handled a few timess by those national Elite teams, but most of the time the games are competitive.

 Coco should play OOS when they get the opportunity plain and simple.

 I can't remember one single Cocoa OOS game that  Cocoa did not play in front of a sold out HS field. Cowboys stadium and the University of Maryland Fighting Terrapins stadium could never be sold out of course. I didn't get to see the Hoover game so I can't say how many people were there. That said Cocoa vs OOS seems to bring the crowd.

Something is missing here, folks.  According to some, we have the best talent, bar none, in the country.  And, according to some, FL is the Wild West, with teams full of transfers.  Yet, in competition against OOS teams, we are breaking even, at best.   

Just as the rest of the country has caught up to FL in college football, I believe the same is happening in hs football.  23 of the 49 FL wins above came from one of three teams...St Thomas, Miami Central and Booker T Washington.
