Belly Bob Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 4 minutes ago, HawgGoneIt said: FPB's problem lies in the fact that he doesn't get to define what a troll is. The board defines a troll. Continually going after board favorites is more likely going to be considered trolling than whatever your own definition of it is. Sometimes, guys are ribbing team's fans for entertainment value to the board. The board reputation system is there to help reinforce what is a troll and what is considered entertainment. Just because you have soft feelings about a guy ribbing Folsom doesn't make what he said "trolling". I'd say Sammy got the Folsom/DLS game to happen far above and beyond the Block character due to calling them midgets for the last as long as I've read his stuff. I don't think FPB got the game at all. Sammy has been consistent for at least four years about Folsom. Most of us just laughed about what we thought was irrational dislike for their schedule, but, the truth is that he was right all along. His years of pushing for them to "earn their ranking" got the DLS game for Folsom more than any trolling the troll storyline FPB is trying to play out now. The only way I could ever think FPB is the one that "made the game happen" is if he is actually Sammy playing both sides of the argument. Just tryna help. The big difference, for me, is that Sammy's anti-Folsom posts were tongue-in-cheek and had some humor and some charm. FPB's posts were dull and repetitive. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hit the nail enough times that they finally scheduled DLS again. He hit it plenty enough that FPB showed up to defend their honor, and, to try to steal the thunder for making the game happen as well. End result was a pretty good game that we waited a few years on. Thanks Sammy for getting us this game. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But CQ is significantly better than DLS right now. If DLS develops their offense, they may close the gap a bit. But the GA and CQ fans should know that some of us DLS fans have eyes to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for them, good for nor cal, good for everyone. I hope so. From what I hear, the JV team wasn't very impressive. (I hear the same about DLS's JV team). But DLS is still pretty young -- at QB, RB, WR, DB -- and has a few big Polynesians who will be around for another year or two. Folsom is graduating their stars. I'd like to see Folsom stay strong. It makes NorCal more compelling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're crazy. Honestly, at this juncture in the season, DLS would struggle to gain 150 yds against the Blackhat D and nobody outside of Concord would disagree.

If a few calls had gone the other way, if the ball had bounced in the other direction once or twice, it could have been 21-14 Folsom. No shame in the loss. Hopefully that'll make them hungry for another shot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If BG can lose the turnover battle by seceral and still beat DLS by 14+ they can beat CQ by 50 you guys just don’t get the gap between GA and national elite the last two times GA’s best played a national elite they lost by 56 and 19 And CQ isn’t even HA’s top team this year (again) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a couple 4 stars coming back next season and a lot of their lines who were actually impressive vs great DLS lines. Their star rb is only a junior.

He does add a nice element of humor, but often takes the joke/agenda a bit too far IMO. His agenda against Folsom/NorCal are just two examples. He doesn't respect NorCal football outside of DLS. I think we all get that by now. The same game is played against the GA contingent too, and they defend their turf just as us NorCal'ers do (for the record, I fully respect GA football). I have no illusions of the SJS having a top 25 team most years. Even top 50/100 is a stretch a lot of the time. But we do have good football up here and churn out a lot of D1 athletes. Apologies to all that we don't have transferred up private school all-star teams like SJB or Mater Dei -- or even a public as good as Centennial most the time. At the D1/D2 level, we are predominantly a public school area and it's harder to produce Nationally elite teams. Aside from the crazed Texans, our Friday night atmospheres are as good as anywhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you'd have to see much. DLS would hold their own on defense, but they wouldn't be able to move the ball. Plus CQ's kicker seems to have unlimited range. That's not good when you can't move the ball. Plus all but 1 of DLS's linemen play both ways. Smelly's prediction is that the game would turn ugly halfway through the 3Q. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus all but 1 of DLS's linemen play both ways. Smelly's prediction is that the game would turn ugly halfway through the 3Q. Your rational observation is appreciated. I watched both games and DLS would not consistently move the ball against Colquitt. McEachern had a better RB, QB, and WRs than DLS and the only success they had was throwing the ball underneath and that wasn't enough to loosen up the Blackhatters for sustainable drives. DLS has yet to even develop that dimension to their offense. Hell, the Spartans were cramping up every other play in the 3rd quarter. To put that in perspective I can count on one hand how many plays a Packer player had been sidelined by cramping and dehydration. That spells disaster when playing a team that can run multiple people out on the field every few play at several positions: most importantly at RB and the defensive line. You mentioned special teams. That's how we beat Archer last year who was as good defensively as anyone in the country: special teams and field position. Pops doesn't get it though. He wants to base it off of how Colquitt would fare against BG, MD, etc or Norcross getting whipped 5 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
