Columbia Trivia #2


OldSchoolLion

Recommended Posts

Gatorman got the last Columbia trivia question.  Let's see if he can do it again.  

Columbia once suffered a stunning defeat.  When you hold the other team's offense scoreless in a game, it's pretty hard to lose, right?  Well, this Tigers team figured out a way.  Ahead in the game with only a few minutes remaining and the Tigers running out the clock, the unthinkable happened.

Who was the team that beat Columbia that day?

What was at stake in that game?

Was it Eastside in 04 

 

District Championship perhaps?

 

Columbia lost 7-6 so it's possible they fumbled or threw a pick that got returned for a score

I can only assume you were either not born yet or very young, because if you had witnessed this game I am not sure you would have ever recovered.

Well I was born in 99 so I guess it's likely any team losing in that Time spread would have been considered a shocking loss since those late 90s to early 00s Columbia teams had plenty of talent (as seen by my all time team having a ton of representation from that era)

The answer is a team I believe you greatly admire.  Maybe not quite as much as IMG, but up there for sure.  I'll save you one guess.  It's not Madison County

I'm stumped on this one for sure, I've looked at Columbia scores from past 3 decades and I didn't really see any games where it seemed likely to have been no offensive points 

 

I saw a few that Columbia would have given up a field goal then could have given up a defensive TD to lose but a field goal would still be considered offensive points

That's why this a tricky one.  You can't just look at the scores and easily figure it out.

Just so I understand correctly field goals would still count as offensive points right? And you said we were leading the game 

 

I assume return TDs and defensive TDs would be only way the opponent scored or maybe a safety

Well, it was Suwannee.  Now you gotta figure out what year it was and explain how they lost the game.  

Well that makes it a lot easier

 

Since 1990 Columbia has only 4 losses against Suwannee

 

1995 (lost 21-0) this one is out because Columbia never led in the game 

 

2001 lost 10-7 this one is possible

 

2004 lost 14-6 possible I suppose, interesting enough this was only game coached by Scott Anderson who was fired for a incident at practice the next week, he was replaced by Frank Beasley for the rest of the year before Danny Green returned for 3 more seasons at Columbia

 

And lastly 2007 14-7 loss 

 

 

I'm gonna go with 2004 and I'll say probably a defensive TD and then fumbled on the kickoff to give up a second TD

It wasn't the 2004 game.  Interestingly, Columbia was the team who did not score any offensive TD's in that game.  Their only score was a defensive fumble recovery for a TD. 

In 2007, 4-4 Suwannee faced off against 7-2 Columbia for the Oaken Bucket at Suwannee.  In the first quarter, Suwannee's D stripped the ball and ran it back nearly 50 yards for a TD to go up 6-0.  The Bulldogs were completely shut down in the first half, totaling only 17 yards of offense.  Columbia took the lead 7-6 and held it into the fourth quarter.  Suwannee missed a fg and the game looked all but over with only about 4 minutes remaining.  But Suwannee's D stripped the ballcarrier again and ran it back for a 40-yard score.  Columbia had a chance to win it in the remaining few minutes, but self-destructed due to penalties.

Wow so Suwannee only win in the past 15 years came when Columbia basically shot themselves in the foot 

 

Definitely interesting and it could stand as Suwannee last win for a very long time, especially if they don't decide to play us in the future as Suwannee was the one who decided in the end to cut the series

    • I was actually itching to treat some wager some money on some sports matches that are happening above-board now. I wanted to let you guys identify that I did spot what I ruminate on to be the kindest site in the USA. If you fall short of to get in on the spirit, check it out-moded: [url=https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/]https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/[/url]
    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face.
