Week 2 Excuse Thread


Sammyswordsman

Recommended Posts

We will start off by giving the floor to all the Servite bashers last night.  Please post your excuses for doubting the chosen ones.  Upset of the Week.  @Cal 14 would like to contribute early and often.  Followed by @Nolebull813, who will have to dig back into his archives to irrelevant years to find a compliment for the Friars.  @ThunderRam if he's still around can atone for  his mocking posts.

We will also give early posting preference for @ECHS05 for pimping Marietta nationally, and for @hardhit1 for his support of Trinity* Midwest power football.

The Utah East supporters should also receive posting preference this week, and we will hold the door open for the Florida guys later in the day.

Oh, lest we forget the guys who ranked Narbonne high in the State and Nationally.  Please feel free to chime in.

Marietta...

--- too many injuries

--- too many 2 way player because of injuries AND ineligible players

--- the offense is too sluggish to start every game, they get going in the 2nd half,  but by then its usually too late

--- Marietta is getting great experience, theyve played 2 teams that are ranked in the Top 25 in multiple polls, and still have Grayson & St. Johns in 2 of their next 3 games. They have time to get it together. MOST of this talent will be back NEXT year. The only real loss will be WR Ramel Keyton, but most of the rest return and playing these games this year will help for next year.

--- Most of all, the offense has the talent to (if they can stop the sluggish 1st half starts) win some games in the playoffs. They'll be a dangerous team. 

 

Last year, Marietta made the playoffs as the #5 seed in their Region. In 7A, the #32 seeded team (dead last) is an At Large bid, and thats the only way they got in at 6-4. They then made it to the Quarterfinals where they lost to the eventual State Champs by 10.

Youll hear about Marietta through 2019... Because almost all of the talent on that team, are Juniors. Next year, this schedule will do a lot for them.

What were your preseason Ga rankings and how do they stand now?

You're getting senile in your old age, Sammy, by including me in this. I'm not among those mocking or picking on Servite individually. The only thing I've done of late is point out that Folsom might be as good as the rest of the Trinity beyond the big 2.

You and I had our back and forth over the years regarding the Rocklin-Servite D1 title game in 2009 --- but beyond that, I've not taken shots at your Servite boys or even your personal alma mater.

Now you can atone by apologizing to me ;)

Marietta "Explanation"

They are going to need another very good schedule next year to be in any MNC talk. I wasnt necessarily saying MNC... But maybe a top 5 season.

People were high on them this season because the young talent was starting to get older... Mainly Juniors now. Harrison Bailey is now a Junior thats started since his freshman season, etc. People know about them then, and looking at the talent they were amassing... In 2-3 years they looked like theyd be very good.

Mariettas problem is a lack of time & experience at the Top. And theyve been surrounded by this drama with 2 of their best players (Rashad Torrence, Dawson Ellington) being declared ineligible. And now a 3rd. Another WR, Jermaine Burton, wasnt able to establish residence here and said F it, he tried Hoover and was denied, now hes at Calabasas CA.

Theyve also been hit with a rash of injuries (Kimani Vidal being the most vital)... 

Theyve got serious potential... But Im not 100% sold on that Ex-Oscar Smith HC though

So, the Friars managed to hold Norco to 17 points fewer than the current #17 team in Arizona.  Congrats... and congrats to the Friars for putting together such a Folsom-esque non-league schedule.  The game against Villa Park in a couple of weeks looks like a doozy.  😓

Servite was supposed to be 0-2

"we'll get em next year" set on echo loop is a stellar excuse for these excuse threads...

....especially considering many states have not even had their first game yet....

You might even win this thread with that one...
