It's a subset of subset. 1 hour ago, Sammyswordsman said: Most of the land is uninhabitable. Mountains, Mojave desert. Lot of trailers and double wides. We used to own land out there. It had two houses on it, but only one was habitable, and then only barely. The land was good for manufacturing meth, burying money, and stockpiling weapons. That was back in the mid 80s and early 90s. There was a Mad Max feel to the place, especially when we were running from the cops. They eventually caught my father in a rental van that had a governor on it. He claims that he would have gotten away except for that governor. He spent a few a years locked up, and we lost the land. But until Cen10 came on the scene, it wasn't much known for its HSFB. Even now, when I think of the IE, I don't think about HSFB. But maybe that's just a fact about me, grounded in my own personal biography. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wanted to film the Breaking Bad series in the IE but the libs running Cali wanted to tax the hell out of the producers. That's how it ended up in Albuquerque. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, when you have MF on here talkin about how Georgia HSFB sucks and how they're barely a top 10 football state, Colquitt being a top 3 7A team shouldn't matter. Hell, with their logic, VM should win this game when they say shit like that. If only our lil team wasn't a year aWAAAY from maturation! Did anybody bring up the fact that top twenty five in a state of FORTY MILLION, ain't TOO bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Dick Bruich, they were the squad. They brought a rabid fan base and nobody wanted a piece of them. Eisenhower was then the top dog for a while and for the last 12-15 years it's been cent10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a national site that talks about top teams. If you want to talk about your middle of the road teams, go to your state site. As you saw in December, you know why people on here shouldn't talk up teams similar to Valdosta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMaximumHornetSting Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 That was long before Grayson and Mill Creek where around... La Grange suffers from too many HS. Irony Callaway and Troup opened after that year and theyve been average since then. 1995 was the last title squad they had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMaximumHornetSting Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 @steeler01 what happened to Ike? The expansion syndrome? Similar to La Grange? That area grew fast La grange is a beautiful area though. But they dont need more than 2 HS.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
