A lot of blowouts last night. Miami Killian up 49-0 over St. Brendans at half and St. Brenden’s forfeited at half. Could have been just as bad. A smaller program like St. Brendans loses 2-4 kids to transfer. Really hurts. Then Killian brings in like 20 transfers. It’s just not a good scenario.

Yeah There are a lot of PUBLIC schools who load up on transfers, many get more than the private schools that people whine about "recruiting" 

 

Notice though that many of these people have no actual rebuttal to that, just sarcasm

I agree but someone has said ''if you build it they will come.'' Young men want to play for the winning team. it's just how it is now in today's Athletics. Too bad really because they lose fundamentals of winning and losing.

If you lose 91-0 maybe football isn’t for you. No one should try and make excuses. Taravella doesn’t need to playing 11 man varsity football if they are that horrendous at it. That’s the problem. They let anyone play. Teams losing by 50-90 points have no business fielding a team.

The Western coaches are an embarrassment.  They should be called out for running up the score.  

There's a lot of programs in the state that run up the score 

 

Why do they need to get into the 90s to get attention? 

 

Teams like Ed White up here when they were good would run it up and Lee/Riverside started doing it when they got good 

 

 

@nolebull813 here's a project for you, research the last 10 years and show any games where the margin of victory was over 60 points and see what teams have done it the most in that stretch

Garbage. It’s not Western’s responsibility to hold the score down. That’s the job of Taravella’s defense. You shouldn’t be playing football if you can’t handle the job. 
 

 

If Western was playing starters up by 60? Then garbage coaching. If Western was playing 3rd string guys and still scoring? Then that’s on Taravella.

    • 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.
