Why was DLS vs Folsom ever in doubt?

Norcross actually looked pretty solid. Hardly a slow start to this season, unfortunately they aren't gifted a ranking like DLS gets EVERY single year. 

What you're ignoring is how inflated many teams are in preseason and then move up based on wins even against subpar competition.

When DLS gets blown out against BG in week 5 and look as inept as they did offensively in week 1, are you going to support them still being ranked amongst the best team in the country. How about when Folsom allows more points to many of their remaining than the 14 given up to DLS. Are you still going to be singing this same tune?

Bottom line is you rank them where they are now, not where they could be. This seems to be a common occurrence for many of the CA teams.

I await your next excuse.

If I were you I'd be hiding under Lilly pads for awhile

What the Folsom game proved is that you can't just play the Oak Ridges and McEacherns of the world and tell people how great you are

There are at least 100 teams that could put a show on against McEachern, not that top 100 is anything to be ashamed of

ITs been almost 50 years, but Servite (in white) fans are still complaining about "the play" in 1969.  Say the ball carrier was across the goal line before he was stripped.  I can see this happening again.  LOL

 

There’s no way in hell that ball was over the line.

I say this without fear of contradiction.

Let it go!!! Lol!! You sound like such a whiny little bitch, crying about this play over and over and over again. It is what it is. Your team lost!! DLS deserved to win BUT, the fumble made them lose. DLS deserved to win BUT, Folsom had more yards. DLS deserved to win BUT, Folsom had more yards. DLS deserved to win BUT, Folsom fans ate more hot dogs..but, but, but...lol. At the end of the game all that matters is what is on that scoreboard and it said...

DLS 14- Folsom ZERO!!!

Can this art somehow be an "auto response" option to certain posters?

What credit does DLS deserve other than outlasting Folsom?  Everyone is harping on the shutout, but Folsom clearly moved the ball a great deal better than did the Spartans in the first half.  It wasn't so much the Bulldogs getting stuffed as turnovers (some forced, others less so, one not actually a fumble that was called as such). 

DLS had all of 2 first downs the entire first half.  Folsom's turnovers kept them in the game at that point.

Even in the second half, DLS had to wear them down before they finally started to move the ball, but they were still the beneficiaries of Folsom errors.

Yes, to their credit, DLS minimized their mistakes and finally took control of the game, but they were largely outplayed for over 1/2 of it.  There are lot of ifs, but had Folsom scored on the bad-call fumble drive, we don't really know what would have happened in the second half. 

I stand by my statement that Folsom lost this game just as much as DLS won it.  I remember playing in a billiards tournament as a teenager.  I completely dominated it until I scratched on the 8-ball.  To his credit, my opponent said "I didn't deserve that" as he shook my hand.  If the DLS fans want to dance and gloat over Folsom spilling their coffee, go right ahead, but the Spartans did not dominate this game in any fashion and the fact it ended in a shut out does not really represent to me how close this game was.

Unforced turnovers? Finding any way to discredit DLS. There was one unforced turnover. The oh-so controversial fumble. Yes it was a fumble... on the 2 yard line. That was it. Two interceptions by Garrett were legit. He jumped up and snatched the ball both times. Forced turnovers. QB fumbled twice when the ball was knocked out of his hand by DLS defenders. Forced turnovers. Don't make it sound like Folsom just handed them the ball. Give those young men the credit they deserve.

I'd wager there are probably 100 teams that would have scored more than 14 points against Folsom, especially with 100 turnovers. At the end of the season, you'll find that the majority of Folsom's opponents are going to score more than 14.

It's funny you consider GA a small pond when NorCal only has two teams worthy of the Top 100. The 3rd best team in that area just lost to a nobody and HSFB just kicked off.

McEachern was Top 100 and still on the fringe. It's safe to say that DLS would NOT put up 41 points against McEachern despite what one of their homers think, much less beat them by 34.

To put things in perspective, McEachern has only been defeated that bad twice in the last decade. Both were to Colquitt. The last time they played us we beat them by 37 and finished Top 10 in the country.

I'm sure you'll come up with some bullshit about DLS would beat them by 5 TDs because Austin Hopper played TE there almost a decade ago.

You're such a clown, Pops. Only Block out clowns you on this board. That is rarified air my friend.
