ORabidOne Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 MY guess is, that the only three teams at any level in Florida who have good fan support, are 5,000 seat STA, UF and FSU! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolebull813 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 No they want to play on the road because the teams here love competition. It's instilled at a young age. The resources down here are like a third world country for some of these publics so the kids are hungry. They feed off the adversity. The coaches get paid piss poor money. The mindset is different. The coaches in Georgia get paid good money and in return they need to provide plenty of home games to justify the pay, and also scheduling as easy as possible helps the coaches retain job security by bragging about wins and losses. Plus in South Georgia there is absolutely nothing to do but hunt pigs both literally and figuratively. Lol. What the hell are you gonna do in Moultrie on a Friday night that you can't do every other day? There are North Florida schools who been around 100 years and the people have generations that stick around. A lot have great followings. Niceville had 6,000 people show up 2 weeks ago to a preseason game. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one Achilles heel for the state as a whole. The lack of investment for head coaches and asst coaches. They are glorified volunteers so you see a lot of turnover. You cant just assume DFB has more D1 guys so they should win. I'm giving them a shot with the defense alone, but it could get ugly if they make typical mistakes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope the weather stays the way it has been . Its been upper 70s with no humidity. its been perfect football weather up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolebull813 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Deerfield Beach is flying to Jersey. Jones flew to DC. These schools have no money and are in cash strapped counties. But they made it happen. They found a way. The desire to challenge their teams with top national competition and expose their kids to different areas of the country were stronger than excuses and pussying out. This mindset can be found all over the state. Hell Niceville is driving 9 hours to tangle with Westlake,TX. Georgia is designed differently and competition takes a back seat to job security and home gates. Not knocking it. Just the way it's set up. No issue. Rush said it best. "No one in the state wants to play us so we have to look out of state." Valdosta is the only team In the entire Central and South Georgia with a set of balls to play Colquitt. You have to go to Atlanta and find those hungry teams that arent pussy. Like Tucker. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite what anyone thinks, it's hard to get used to the 100 percent humidity where it feels like your cooking in a pot of soup. Everyone gets tired and worn out. NFL players get gassed in the heat. DFB would love that weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That topic has already been discussed. Colquitt lets 150 kids "pay" to be apart of the varsity squad so they can feel like they are apart of the team. Lol. If you come out to practice and pay your football fees your apart of the team!! Lol.

The QB is the guys nephew so hes pissed thinking that i was celebrating that his nephew was hurt. That was not the case. I was celebrating the hit. As chatting with the guy he originally was from Brooklyn like myself we had some great laughs and even had a bit to eat at HT. I hope his nephew makes it at the college level.

Our players have never paid to participate. Sure a few of their parents may donate to the TD Club, but no player is responsible for any sort of payment to be on the team. That includes meals, uniforms, equipment, daily meals, transortation, hotels, etc. You are worse than CNN when it comes to speeading fake news.

181pl Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 The rest of the country, except for SBJ, is afraid to travel to Fla. Period. In Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties, centralized funding makes it very difficult to attract out of state opponents. The powers that be here wrongly assume that there are plenty of teams and enough good teams to keep their schedules filled. Just not the case. If you never leave your county you can't keep up with the times and you aren't exposed to different areas that play a different brand of ball. The few teams that do get to travel occaisionally benefit from it (Plant, Armwood, Jefferson, etc.). By the way, last year Tampa Jesuit was a really good team. A legit top 100. This year, they have a ton of issues. They lost to a decent but not excellent Durant squad at Jesuit on Friday. Expect them to get "rolled" against their OOS this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do require blood, sweat and 100% effort. Print this out so your posts will have a little more validity. Rufus>> 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
