I didn't lecture "us." In fact, I didn't lecture anyone. I pointed out your hypocrisy. Your comprehension skills on subjects you know little of must not be so good. The people of Colquitt aren't "forced" to pay extra taxes. They voted and a majority of the people voted to tax themselves to improve any things. I take that back. Their willingness to set up a program to work on their community is similar to the various Propositions that pop up in California. One big difference is that they didn't create an unfunded mandate that breaks the budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're most likely making the trip on little yellow buses. As far as fund raising and etc. that some people love to throw out there all the time, you have no idea of the politics we deal with here. There is honestly a lot of animosity from the various other sports at the school. Every other sport feels like football gets "all" the money already and the folks campaign against our coach at times with fake crap rumors etc. If you think it's just that easy to raise 10k for travel here for the football team, on top of what they already get, you are in for a big disappointment. It's hard enough for the various civic groups to raise money for the nutrition program and various other functions. Travel to Florida makes zero sense. Zero. Lose gate money here. Lose the huge atmosphere here to go play a team that can't even fill their home stands? Nah. Pass. Just speaking as a fan with limited knowledge and big opinion of course.

As I sit in the stands on Friday nights looking at the visitors side with a couple to a few hundred fans(except Santiago games), I wonder the same thing. Cen10 fills home side and often has as many fans at away games as does the Home team. If you added 2000 more seats to Cen10 home side, I don’t think it would sell out though. I have seen a lot of Georgia guys comment on the big difference in population CA vs GA should mean a lot more good teams but it doesn’t scale linearly with players or fans. There are numerous factors why it isn’t the same as in Georgia. One factor is traffic. Since I ride a motorcycle and can split lanes, I can leave work on time 5:30pm, and will barely make game time only 32miles away. The other big factor is demographics. Hispanics and Asians simply don’t pay as much attention to high school football as black or white folk. Throw in cost of living, size of families having kids likely to play football..... It’s simply not apples to apples to compare CA to GA or Texas when it comes to community support for high school football. Accordingly financial support is also less than you would think. Of the many people I associate with through family, work, or any other circumstances, I am the only one that ever attends a game (aside from my two daughters, one at Cen10, one at Santiago). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the city and county were deteriorating at the the expense of the football program then you may have a point, however that is not the case. I know you find it hard to believe, but Moultrie is actually a pretty damn nice town. Our facilities (schools, athletics, etc) are amongst the best in the state (that includes elementary through high school), the Moultrie-Colquitt County Recreation department has some of the nicest facilities, the infrastructure (especially the road ways) as a whole is better than nearly everywhere I have been ( in and out of state). Our downtown district is award winning. We are able to do all of this with a fraction of the population and without exorbitant tax rates like you Californians. Just admit you're jealous that such a small community has nicer shit than you do in that prison town you call home. You envy everything about us, and that's obvious.

Colquitt versus Folsom? Let me know. Let's have some fun. We don't spend our tax payer dollars on HS practice facilties when 25 percent of people are below the poverty line.

If it is about the love of the game then why is there no more support. You say there are small stadiums. That implies not many people coming out to the games. I see the same thing in some of the NJ schools. Why is having a large stadium that fill sup about the dollar and not about love of the game and community support? Really, I'm not not trying to argue with you. I am truly interested in your perspective on this. Idk how things are in other states but i think reason FL lacks fan support that GA or TX has is that because FL has a heavy population that didn't graduate at the high school they live by or even in some cases didn't even graduate from FL From my observation GA and TX have strong alumni bases that doesn't always exist in FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since money is not an issue in your exceedingly wealthy area, pick up your team and bring them to GA on your dime. I bet I and others can work together to find a suitable opponent. If you are as wealthy as you claim and are as confident in your team as you claim, then put up or shut up. What's it going to be? (I have a pretty good idea what it will be.)

While the non Metro Atlanta areas have more stability, you have described the conditions in Metro Atlanta to a "T". There are so many transplants to Atlanta you are likely to see bars full of people rooting for non Atlanta/GA college and pro teams. In Gwinnett, we are majority minority with a large Hispanic and Asian population, more than any other metro county and maybe more than any other signle county in GA. We have so many move-ins that it is more rare to find stability in multi-generational families. I've said for years that S GA enjoys having support from parents and grandparents throughout the community that Gwinnett and the rest of the Metro area doesn't get. I'm a native Atlantan and I'm rare. If you want to compare traffic, well while Atlanta might not equal LA yet, we have our moments. We don't count the mileage to where we want to go, we count the time. I guess the point of this is we are more similar than we are different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
