We ain't gone into hiding dumbass

 

We already have a game with Trinity Christian on the schedule who we are about to play for 4th straight year as well as preseason games in last few years with future state champions Raines, nationally ranked IMG, and a home and home with Apopka who is one of best programs year to year in FL

 

Hell we had a defending and eventual state champion Madison county on schedule

 

 

Just because we ain't going to fork out 70k bucks or more to fly across the country and bankrupt the entire athletic department don't mean we scared of nothing

 

You get SJB, Mater Dei or whomever the hell in the Trinity league wants to play to fly over to Lake City and I'll personally sell them on taking the game

So far you have one inked game (2019) with Trinity Christian? You'll need a couple more to get off the list one way or another.

So you know for a fact that all of these teams aren't looking for anything? 

Or are you just about to hit us with that "Oh the Trinity League is so great I kiss the staches ass everyday" type BS....

My guess is that Madison County and buchholz will stay on schedule since both are usually solid teams in North Florida and both are good gate games

 

Madison county is a 2 time defending champions in FL rural class and are basically a small school version of someone like Colquitt in FL if that makes sense

 

Not sure if Suwannee stays on schedule or not since that has been considered up in air last few months and despite it being a traditional rivalry both schools are starting to view them as a unnecessary game on both ends but since Coach Allen is very traditional in his roots as a Columbia alumni and being a player here when the rivalry meant more I wouldn't be surprised if it stays on schedule

 

So even if it does leaves 3 games plus KOC, I was working on getting a home and home with Apopka but that fell through when Darlington left to take a job in Alabama 

 

 

The thing is with Columbia is they will play anyone because coaches want competition but they also aren't total dicks to the athletic department to point they would spend every dime the department has before we even hit winter sports

 

Columbia will need one of 2 things for a game like you are suggesting

 

1) either the team would have to cover costs and travel to Lake City on a one year deal or 

 

2) they will need to cover all our travel costs (think Miami Central)

 

Reason we took IMG last year was they covered our entire travel costs plus gave enough money extra to have some pocket change and gave portion of gate

I'm multi tasking, as usual.  Just tryna separate the pretenders from the contenders.  If you have info, please submit for consideration

Tough games don't have to be OOS.  For Coumbia, a regular season (not a scrimmage) game vs IMG, Cardinal Gibbons, AHP, Carol City, Venice, Northwestern, Columbus or nearby  Hoover would qualify.

If IMG wants to give us another 8k like they did for KOC we probably wouldn't object to playing them again

 

In fact the AD told me if they offered us the deal they did last season we wouldn't hesitate to go back down there for another game

Columbia would probably look into playing those teams if we can get a deal similar to IMG gave us in KOC (paid travel expenses)

 

 

The simple truth is with Columbia our boosters are kinda cheap in certain aspects

 

They will have no problem paying for stuff like food or uniforms or end of year awards but when it comes to games they ain't gonna fund for us to make long travels as they view it as not being a nesessity 

 

They will cough up money for games we have to play (playoffs) but not non conference games that's why they try to limit the travel and set scheduling to get best possible teams in the region but I do think that they may play OOS soon

 

We had a game with Camden County scheduled 2 years ago but it went bad and got called off due to weather then other crap happened and let's just say we won't play them for a while but I wouldn't be surprised if we soon play a team in South GA (maybe someone like Colquitt)

Hey dumbass, how about you send one your new Jersey squads down here for one of these "practice scrimmages" and see if they come back and say they felt like they just played a scrimmage

Lol who would spend money to play against Columbia in a scrimmage when we can play a National Top 10 team in st joes Philly in a scrimmage

If they will cover their costs I'll have a talk with Columbia and see about getting a regular season game set up

 

Just because we haven't loaded up OOS games in regular season don't mean we are scared to play one

 

They just not going to spend the entire budget for one game in one sport

 

It's fiscally irresponsible and that came straight from Columbia, they will play anyone if they could afford it

We weren't scared of IMG, they just happen to be only one close enough by that would pay our entire travel bill 

 

Hell that was 3rd straight year we tried to schedule them

 

2016 we tried to add them on regular season schedule but the school board refused to approve it, 2017 we tried to get them but couldn't work out a date

 

I wouldn't be surprised if we play them again in near future
