L’ Chaim Yeah because they can't beat them on the field But it's expected that clown would throw in shots in there but I knew before I even clicked on the post he would have some comments, probably because Lowndes will never be respected on this board like Columbia is because Columbia isn't afraid to travel OOS and he is so insecure he needs gratification for his worthless team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colquitt isn't even popular in Colquitt County. Shoot, at least half our fans are joining the Valdosta Touchdown Club to help support Rush. It seems the Cats have a rule that you can join the VTC for half price (during the pandemic) if you live more than 40 miles away from VHS. Add to that...if you can sing the words to the Valdosta Fight Song...you get a free seat cushion. When I say...Oh Woe Is Us...I'm referring to the poor, tiny, little undersized Hawgs and their remaining fanbase. The Packer Touchdown Club President told me that this year's Seafood Extravaganza might be held a Captain D's in Moultrie. I reckon it is what it is. So say it with me HawgGoneIt and 94Packer.... Oh Woe Is Us !!!!! Rufus>> 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree with you I was talking with some old lowndes coaches a few days ago and we were talking about how it looks like colquitt is headed back to where they were before propst. Lowndes seems to moving on to where they should be. They've been held back by mediocre coaching the last 10-20 yrs. I just hope we can keep that toughness on the defense and O line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty4024 Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Now back to this post. Duncanville is barely the most popular team in the Dallas Metro area. How the hell are they suddenly the most popular team in Texas considering they STILL haven't won anything? I need to know this wacky page viewing criteria.

They don’t miss a beat when one of their kids get an offer or they do something at the next level and that includes his former kids from skyline too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm relatively sure that Colquitt is out of the "national" and "OOS" business. Conventional thinking at present is to stay more regional. The trip up to Marietta is more than likely an aberration. Hopefully, we'll continue the trend of playing the majority of our games (if we actually play football) in Mack Tharpe. I call it the Lowndes Way. As an aside...I hope the Vikings enjoy their excursion up to the Corky. I hope you enjoy it MANY years. I hope your school has some deep pockets. What am I saying...of course you do !!! Also...I think Coach Dubose is in for a surprise when action starts back. I don't believe it's gonna be all "sugar & spice". If you fellers ain't careful...you guys are gonna slip into the deep end without your floaties. Colquitt is gonna do well to win a Region game...in the Spring of 2021. Things are so bad...we're not taking calls from Pelham. It is what it is and it ain't what it ain't. I hope your band is doing well....

I would think sites such as this have algorithms to track its own usage. With it being widely known that Duncanville & North Shore have big OOS games on their schedule, I’d assume that increased curiosity about the two schools from other states. With the numbers only being pulled from 2019 to now, and them being a part of the last two 6A Division 1 championships; it makes sense that those two are 1 and 2 on the list.

Kalven Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 I think Maxpreps confused popular with best. DLS is probably the most popular high school football program in the country so how are they not in California? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to be careful you bring in a different offensive concept and it could mess up an entire program (Fsu) . Dubose will have a shorter rope than the last coach because he isn't best friends with Wes Taylor. That relationship stunted our program the last 10+ years. All Lowndes kids are fine I haven't heard of any being sick. Hope the packer faithful are doing good as well. You guys got a good rising 9th grade receiver he played with us on travel events. Great size speed and hands. He is the kid that I said mom told me she was moving him wherever rush landed so idk if he stays a packer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
