I do remember Lincoln beating armwood in the championship in 2010 and finishing as the state runner up in 2012 (lost to STA). Lincoln had a few years of dominance but don't have the same staying power Columbia has been among the top North FL teams since the 1960s None of those schools (Lincoln included can say that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One quick pass through the topics over there shows with ease why he didn't make it here. After numerous chances and being asked nicely, not so nicely etc. He just can't separate his casual football or any other convo from politics. Even if it's jokingly. Folks are looking for a freedom from that bullshit. It doesn't need to be mixed in every single thing almost all the time. We are inundated with that crap everywhere. The news. Twitter. Our news feeds online. At the restaurant some old codgers are usually in the corner talking too loud about it. Etc. No fly zone on that spiel here. There is a second side of this site designated specifically for that crap, and he couldn't find the way, even with a map. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to play columbia then they can come with a home and home offer or maybe they aren't that serious about a game as i thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTP28 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Columbia we travel pretty good. And really it’s just like a trip to Tifton Or Moultrie. Truth is we most likely aren’t much different than y’all. We go about our work but not a lot of talk unless it’s the Packers. Football runs in cycles for us, Packers and most all teams. With regard to Rab and his political ramblings he’s like our crazy uncle that lives in the attic. Rufus tends to be the much more calculated elder statesmen from our region. I have about an eighths worth of sympathy for Colquitt as the devil did come down to Georgia and he set it on fire. Colquitt is now in transition much like my Vikings will soon be.

Lowndes is close enough to us where we wouldn't need travel assistance Only however we would likely expect to get a home game out of the deal if we drove up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbiafan Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 They also have a clause where FL teams must play at least 60% of their schedule against FL teams So if you have 10 games at least 6 have to be in FL However that rule doesn't apply to independents which is why IMG can play a national schedule In other words FL is very relaxed on scheduling compared to a lot of other states Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s Florida policy Most people don't understand how many pesos are involved for Lowndes and Colquitt to travel. I mean...it almost bankrupts the Vikings to hafta travel to Mack Tharpe....(Smile). You fellers have more youngsters in your Lowndes County Walking Band than we do in our Senior class. That's why Lowndes and Colquitt play as many games at home as possible. Here's hoping the new Colquitt HC will drop the Corky Kell and add a Home game to our 2020 schedule. Who knows...I reckon we'll see.

Just take the 10k lowndes normally pay slap dicks like Bayside to come to them and put it towards their travel to lake City Then both teams can get a home game out of it You can't convince me it costs lowndes 10k to drive a few school buses 1 hour away to play a game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't the band do their own fundraising or does football carry their entire funding? The band at Columbia fundraises themselves Same with cheer and dance teams As for seats the road side will easily fit the entire band as the stadium size isn't much smaller on road side compared to home side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
