IMG is not the best team Hoover has ever played.

Same difference, right? Both years the Pack would stomp a MUDHOLE in everybody. 😂

I only know the difference because I watched almost all 30 of those games. Colquitt was so accessible that with their NFHS network deal and traveling up here - became such a fan of the crusin 94 team. Sihiem King had the monster game against Hoover and he wasn’t on the 2015 team

 Don’t think people get it.  IMG never gonna torch decent teams too badly.  If they did, nobody worth a salt would line up against them, and they would become less relevant.

 

This is certainly how I have come to view them. 

 

Every fan and a few teams look at them and think, we can beat them. It keeps the teams signing up and the players transferring in there.

It seems weird to even think about, but I think it's pretty spot on. They may ass around and lose one on purpose in a year or two, just to show that they aren't immortals, but I think for now, just letting teams stay close or close it up near the end of games etc. is enough.

that's the thing though, if you clown around against great teams sooner or later your ass gonna drop 1 bc by time you try to get serious it may be too late, Miami Central wasn't even the best dade team but they almost had them late in that game, I'm sure there are teams out there capable of winning, unfortunately almost all the teams that can wont schedule them

Does that make sense?  I would think any team that really feels they could beat them, would schedule them.  What better item could you get on your resume?   Teams that are in the MNC discussion aren’t gonna take the risk.  Teams with not as much to lose have taken the shot.

I wish Allen would schedule them next year, especially if they cruise to a state title. I doubt they cruise with Duncanville in their path though.

IMG beat a crappy Desoto team that went 6-6 that year 47 - 29.  I want to see what one of our better teams can do.

There's really no shame in losing. If you lose, so what? You were supposed to lose. If you win you get everyone's attention if you care about such things. Worrying about losing the "mythical" National Championship is silly, because it's just that: mythical.

Nobody really knows who the best teams are. All we can do is make good guesses. Ninety nine percent of the teams in the top 100 will never play each other from other states.

IMG was up 47- 15 than put in their 2’s. Plus Desoto  vastly improved after that game.

It's like a gambling addict. They keep coming back to the table thinking they are going to win. The house lets them win some just to keep them coming back.

As bad as it may sound I almost feel like Wilks let the Cocoa game slip. He threw a total of 3 passes I believe. 2 were to wide open receivers, one was just a bad pass. He could have thrown 4 or 5 more if he really wanted to open up the run game, but he didn't. Next year he may have a tough time scheduling because 1 - 4A are not assigned conference games. Each 1 - 4A team will be responsible for getting a full schedule. Not easy to do if you are beating the crap out of school your size. The problem is Cocoa could end up like BTW next year and bite of more than they can chew and miss the playoffs.

justsayin I wouldn't be surprised if Wilks half hearted let the game slip. Of course having 3 flags on Rockledge and 22 flags thrown on Cocoa didn't help any.
