Something else I never said. In fact, I said the exact opposite. 1 hour ago, LOSer said: Because money is their only consideration. We get that it's a consideration but if you say that it makes no sense to travel at all then I see no reason to rank them at all. Please try to understand something, kid.

You don't run a program like we do here without funding. That funding comes by way of home games. The openings on the schedule are to replace HOME games. It only makes sense that we would seek out opponents willing to travel. The administrators at the school aren't basing their decisions on polls or message board banter, but dollar bills. I apologize if this does not suit your liking. Colquitt just played one of the tougher schedules in the nation in 2016 (without looking, it was probably stronger than that of the roster Raiders). So you saying we do not play competitive opponents really means nothing. I'm sure we will be ranked accordingly when it is all said and done, and most certainly take a hit in the coveted Calpreps rankings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious question: I'm curious to know why Rush's asking price to travel out of state is so much? Its simple math. He is not interested in trading a home game worth upwards of $75,000 to travel across the country for $10-15,000. We will be making at least three trips to Atlanta in 2017, not including any playoff games where we may have to travel. That will cost quite a bit of change. I have no doubts that Rush would travel anywhere in the country so long as we broke even after travel expenses. Without sponsorship, these schools cannot cover that cost. Many of the schools you see wandering the countryside are private schools. If it is more than a bus ride and a hotel stay, then Colquitt is not interested in spending money so their fans can banter on a football forum. I really don't know how to explain it any clearer. Every bit of the money generated by the program (to include all donations) is spent. We aren't throwing extra money from not traveling into a savings account. I suppose we could cut our coaches pay (which means bring in lesser qaulity coaches), buy shitty equipment, and scrap our nutritional program in order to travel. Bottom line is we need more Mobley's, Tyndall's, Langdale's, etc to help foot the hefty travel bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i'm assuming that's why Grayson turned down the game invite against Chandler, right? Geico only offered to fund a certain amount for the trip while Grayson exceeded that amount.... Now allow me to play devil's advocate right here. Seeing that Colquitt went 8-5 last, is it fair to say that they have any leverage when negotiating with a highly ranked out of state team to travel to their "house" ?

Colquitt might be playing a 3A team from Florida who had 18 starters last year in grades 7-10 that's right. 7th and 8th graders playing varsity. They have a stud running back who will be a freshman. But that's it. Whats the obsession with Georgia powerhouses playing the worst Florida teams they can find? You can't find any teams in your own state that will play? You gotta find no name small schools with laughable rosters to get an auto W? ARE YOU ON CRACK again? But I guess you're right, STA, Plant, American Heritage, Cocoa, Lincoln, Bolles, Trinity Christian, Booker T, Norland, and Miami Central ARE pretty BAD! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize if this does not suit your liking. You're just repeating yourself now. We got it. The school's only consideration is money. In a competitive athletic environment they only care about money. So if the school doesn't care that we know that then they shouldn't care whether the national polls and perception punishes them for it. My liking is irrelevant. I'm just telling you what the reasonable response should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a way, I kinda wish Colquiitt woulda won state this year. Imagine Rush & Company going out to Dallas and beating Chandler....... Boyyyy I tell ya! You wouldn't be able to tell Rush nothin!

And only a very small percentage actually go OOS. And a MUCH smaller percentage of those teams are public schools. And an almost non-existant amount of public schools go to non-bordering states for OOS games. A small handful each year. And most public schools that do travel OOS to a non-bordering state, are almost always going to play a Private school. You might find 15 OOS games in the entire country, involving 1 public school traveling to a non-bordering state for an OoS game against another public school.

From 2011-2015(maybe even the EoY 2010 poll) Colquitt was in the HSFB100. This year was the only year they werent found in any poll. And this was the 1st year since 2010 that Colquitt hasnt atleast been to the GA large class semifinals. In '14 & '15 Colquitt was far superior to STA on the football without over 75% of their star players being transfers... like STA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
