The gap between their claims and reality are definitely widening and it was already pretty wide to begin with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guaranteeing a running clock is very California-ish. Nobody knows what type of team Lakeland really is until the end of the season usually. Hey 954 what's happening, haven't talked with you since the old DJ board. And you are right about Lakeland. Bill Castle coaches for Nov/Dec.

Svargas19 Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 15 hours ago, badrouter said: You read something into my comment that wasn't there. Of course special teams are a big part of the game! It is worth noting that, with the overwhelming majority of kickoffs, the receiving team gains possession of the ball for some amount of time. Perhaps they fumble, or the defense stops them. But, they get possession for some amount of time. Twice against Osceola, Osceola kicked off to Lakeland and Lakeland never had possession of the ball. As I said, if that happens again, it will certainly impact the game! I can almost guarantee Osceola will try the same thing in a rematch. What i will say is in the postseason the Home team will be the favorite in the rematch. Osceola has had trouble at Bryant stadium in the postseason and Lakeland has had trouble at Markus Paul Stadium in the postseason as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offer lists =/= good football teams. In my experience the good FL teams are basically SFA, good offer sheets but not representative of how they play football. Teams like that become Cannon fodder for good football teams. And the rest of the FL teams try to play the same basic style of football but with all the offered kids stockpiled into 4 schools. Lol you think all of Florida's best players go to 4 schools?? Thats hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
954gator Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 @BonesPop quiz... Who has more top 50 (fl) players according to 247? Osceola, STA, or Miami Central? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The "good" Florida teams are merely equivalent to a program that's only lost to Mater Dei and STA over the last 6 years. What will we ever do!

Even when Castle had National Championship level teams traveling around the country wasn't big on his agenda. He only did it a few times for the kids, the Dreadnaught alumni and a few media people. The man is nearly 80 years old those days are over for him. Maybe the next man in charge will take up that mantel and play OOS. The "L" logo and name recognition still rings bells.

Mostly bc of familiarity. Osceola has never made any OOS noise enough to garner much national attention. They played a team from California (Carson) back in 2009ish and even that game wasn't televised or hyped up much. In fact I can't find any highlights of it at all. Cocoa for example is more nationally recognized because they played a bunch of OOS games around that same period. If they hadn't people outside of Florida wouldn't know who Cocoa is.
