PrepGridiron Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Sorry if this has been discussed and answered in another thread. Is St. Frances eligible for any playoffs this year? Their entire schedule is disappointing and I just want to know if they will have the opportunity to elevate the schedule in a potential playoff run.

HawgGoneIt Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 No. They were awarded the title for their conference before a single game was played. Serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like ik they can't this year but would they be eligible to join that league next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolebull813 Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 St Frances must have really pissed off all of the other private and all star teams up there. Usually the Maryland/DC don't duck anyone. They must've been caught poaching and got blacklisted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like ik they can't this year but would they be eligible to join that league next year Possibly, but the WCAC(Washington DC Catholic League) won’t let them in for just football. The WCAC is strong in all sports. Football, Soccer, Lacrosse, Basketball, Baseball, Swimming, etc... have teams consistently ranked nationally. At this point, SFA is a headache for anyone. I’m not saying they are bad people or hurting anyone, but the blatant recruiting violations and racial accusations don’t really make them onboardable. In my honest opinion, they should of kept quiet and talked the the WCAC(SJC, DeMatha, Good Counsel, Gonzaga, etc...) behind the scenes. I think SFA’s best bet is for Poggi to help finance a Northeast Super League with the Philly, NYC/NJ, and Baltimore/DC powers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawgGoneIt Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Didn't a couple of the teams like Good Counsel and DeMatha cancel on SFA this year too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course. There’s a game off the field too. Politics. Nobody was scared to play SFA. It was about sending a message for the MIAA(Baltimore) teams. The WCAC(DC) teams just wanted to stay out of it and that meant not scheduling the game. It sucks, but that’s 2018 for ya... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they play either Carol City or MC. Whoever they play will be a significant jump up from the patsies they've been forced to play thus far. As talented as SFA is, it will be a challenge to take on a real team after ten weeks of garbage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you invite a team, with a game when no one else knows how the high school season will end and who could be more deserving based on what they did for the year. Why not just pair up all the teams for the Geico games in August? Same rationale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AztecPadre Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 5 minutes ago, GardenStateBaller said: Only a few states are permitted to play in it. FL, AZ, UT, etc. It's smart to get the best, highest ranked team possible at this point. Thats a benefit of SFA being an Indie. Plus, SFA showed well there last season thrashing Bingham. They're a known and trusted commodity to Geico. Makes perfect sense. GA is no longer allowed? Is it called "The Valdosta Rule"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolebull813 Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Wonder if it's being played in AZ again. GSB, maybe you can find out from St Frances the details as far as date and venue. I would love to see Colquitt vs SFA. Or any top GA dog against them. Whenever GA has a shot to play top national teams, it always is gonna be high interest problem with Colquitt is they have 5 punters and 6 centers with about 300 players in varsity. And every single one of them have to go or no dice!!!! Geico better have a cool million to pony up or Colquitt won't go past Tifton!!!

I will be willing to put down money that colcuts does NOT attend GEICO tourney.There is no way they would risk putting themselves out there to be exposed on that big of a stage.

HawgGoneIt Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Will it only be two games again this season? If so, and one is SFA, invited before the season is even played out, that is pretty lame. This bowl will probably die off soon now. I had high hopes for this thing too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never suggest that any of those teams were afraid to play them. I mean, everyone knows that there is politics involved in a lot of the decision making processes involving things like this. I don't blame the WCAC teams. This was a huge clusterfuck and they often play the teams that chose to forfeit, so, play SFA this year and piss off the other teams who may say screw you for years to come or say screw SFA and keep the status quo. The status quo makes the most sense financially for those teams imo. More stuff for SFA to consider in the future, while making decisions on how to operate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEICO would be great if state associations would allow their state's top teams to enter, especially states like Texas, Cali, and Ohio. I wouldn't mind seeing both state champions and nationally ranked teams like Colquitt, IMG, SFA, or Carol City in it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
