I will never stop being a columbia guy but ik that logically I may not be as involved if I go elsewhere and it would be a end of a very long run of me being around a program that I've been watching for the first 2 decades of my life and it's been in my blood

U sound like me lol. But 1 thing about it even wen i graduated i still made every game and was still heavly involved. When i moved to atlanta & texas i still made sure i followed how they did weekly. And best believe if they made it far in the playoffs or to state i was gonna b there.

I remember like yesterday in atlanta following the dillard vs MC game on score stream & havinf tears in my eyes watching my team my school not only compete and was actually leading a nationally ranked school but watching them turn a very huge corner before my very eyes.

41-14 ended up being the final of the game 

 

Columbia scored with 10 seconds left to make it 47-14 but officials took play away with a penalty (a trend of questionable calls throughout the night)

 

Columbia kneeled on next play to end game

 

 

 

Overall it was clear start to finish both teams were heading in opposite directions as programs, Columbia looked much better showing balance on offense with probably strongest game from running plays I've seen all year and after a few big plays in first half, Columbia finished out the game defensively looking at top of their game and completely shut down Gainesville

 

Biggest concern I saw with Columbia was the injuries are starting to mount, hopefully none of the ones last night were serious injuries

 

 

For Gainesville while they are clearly struggling I did think their RB was a decent runner, not the best we have seen this year but he did look good

 

Gainesville looked worn down by 3rd quarter and just couldn't go a full game with a team as physical and well conditioned as Columbia

 

 

Next up Columbia travels to Boot Hill to play Madison County in what should be a significant test for this Columbia team

    • 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.
