They coughed up more than they offered us to get Valdosta. Maybe if they had offered us the same we could have closed the gap as it would have been much smaller. Guess we will never know. You're not that important. I bet the Paragon/ESPN people were laughing at you clowns behind the scenes. Total amateurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple What's simple is that you'll never go on any of these trips and your program won't be invited anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not a partial thing. We are a team. I would not leave half my team at home for the sake of TV. This is a public school. Things don't work that way.

Guest LOSer Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 5 minutes ago, Sportsnut said: But his rationale is sound. 5 minutes ago he was standing on "principle" and then just now he said it was about keeping kids from dropping out of the program. So one moment it's about loyalty and then the next he's worried that these "loyal" kids will bail if they aren't taken on the trip. Nothing says loyalty more than blackmail.

Nolebull813 Posted August 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 I conversate with the promoter for the Battle of the Border and I know for a fact that Grayson will be paying a butt load out of pocket if they are bussing 120 plus people to Shreveport. Plus thats a long miserable trip to the middle of nowhere Louisiana. Lol They are forking out just as much if not more to bring 120 people to Shreveport than 60 to Dallas. They basically chose for 120 people to be miserable on a bus to no-mans- land Louisiana than a nice cushy plane ride for 60 people to Dallas where there is infinitely more to do. 60 People lose out because the other 60 might get their feelings hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolebull813 Posted August 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Does Georgia make the kids pay to play? Why the hell else would a team need 100 kids on the sidelines? Only 11 out at a time so there literally is 80-90 kids just standing on the sideline looking stupid. Are these teams too scared to tell the 4th stringers they don't make the cut and are not good enough to be on the team. What a bad message to send. That you can be one of he worst football players on the team and they will still let you join. Bad message before they become adults in the real world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LOSer Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 I think we can now put to rest the fleeting thought that Grayson was a serious national program. (Not that it will matter because they'll probably regress under their new coach) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not going anywhere if they have to get on a plane. The promoters won't pay for planes. Only charter busses. That's the only way unless Grayson is using the bus money towards airsfare. But that would barely make a dent. Shreveport is a small airport and is expensive to fly into. There isn't a big airport within 3 hours. So Grayson would have to spend an ungodly amount of money to fly to Shreveport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LOSer Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Just now, Sportsnut said: Thank you. So .......take a bus ride and save thousands with your entire team or fly, lose money and not take your full compliment of players. What is the deciding factor? It's taking Grayson an entire day to get there which means they'll probably spend an extra day in the hotel. Grayson conducts their business like a mom and pop shop without any of the charm.

I think it's good for a Regional event. The bread and butter which was the Texas teams have all pulled out so that might be something concerning. It's a tier 2 event that's good for solid teams.

Nolebull813 Posted August 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 The bottom line is Grayson doesn't conduct their business seriously on a national level. That's not a knock unless they are trying to pretend to be something they're not. Bussing to Shreveport but refusing to fly to Dallas tells you all you need to know about them.
