I agree with your statement. I have attended a few workouts and practices on the Folsom side and can say they are ready. A few points I would like to make.
1. The Folsom line is bigger and faster this year. They will hold their own. Going off of last year's schedule, and even worse games from five years ago, is ludicrous. Even the returning vaunted skill players will be different this year.
2. They have been training in this crazy heat up here. I believe this will help them against DLS, since it will most likely by hot as hell during that game, even in Concord. DLS no doubt is also practicing in some heat, but not THIS heat!
3. I have seen some people infer that Richardson would not punt against DLS. I am not sure where this is coming from. They practice punting every day in practice and punted regularly last year. Why would they not punt against DLS? When they had Troy Taylor, they were much more likely to go for it on 4th down, but still punted then, although rarely. Folsom isn't that arrogant to not punt. They punted against Helix.
4. I see the same posters on this forum wanting to revert back to games that occurred 5 years ago, pointing out games where Folsom didn't dominate, to use that as their point as to why Folsom has zero shot of winning and should just cancel the bus to DLS. This is laughable. They will be there and have a GREAT shot of winning.
5. This is not Folsom's best team. 2014 was the best hands down. Although I WOULD agree that this is Folsom's best chance to compete and beat DLS, based on the match ups on both sides. Browning was great in 2014, but he was tailor made for the DLS pressure on the defensive side. Bennett adds a complexion to the game that we simply haven't seen. DLS will not be able to simply send the cavalry and hope for the best. Not this time.
6. My final point- Reading through this thread, I have been reading about people boasting about how they are "national posters" and "know more than everyone else." I know this to be false because most of you have maybe watched a Folsom game here and there, and possibly even a few YouTube videos. I also know a majority of you are not officially affiliated with the DLS program and have not watched them play day in a day out. I would agree that there are "fans" on here of both teams, but the boasting is kind of ridiculous.
Bottom line- This game will be close. I see Folsom winning by 7-10 points. But I wouldn't be shocked to see it go the other way as well. We are just lucky this game is happening. It needed to happen.
100 percent false. If anyone has ever seen Folsom practice, especially this year, they would know how crazy this statement to be. When has ANY Folsom team ever tired at the end of any game, even the ones they lost? They are usually at their peak in the 4th quarter. Folsom, right now, is at that level, if not better. That is a fact.
Incorrect. It is 95 in Concord today. 104 in Folsom today. Small difference. Edge Folsom.
Based on what? Games in 2013 with different players? They have more than enough size and talent wise to more than hold their own, if not excel.
Why not? Both teams are ranked #1 and #2 in NorCal respectively. The gap isn't far either way you look at it. Most people would not be shocked to see Folsom win, no matter if they admit that or not. Likewise for DLE.
Folsom is ranked ahead of DLS in most polls and even some ranking systems. I would the betting line favors the home team, but I am still sticking with Folsom by 7-10. And if you give me ANY points, I am taking that bet to the bank!

Simply time for you to fold and go away. You are absolutely wrong and Ridiculous in every way. I suppose just because you’ve seen Folsom play in person that makes you a “national poster”. You get worse and worse every day. And today is like next week. Throw your chips in and fold.Folsom fan: Both teams are good. Either could win.
DLS fan: You are STUPID. I know you are stupid because you state it is a possibility that Folsom could win. Everyone knows that DLS cannot lose to a Norcal team. Especially Folsom. I have talked to a bunch of geniuses on the National Board and they agree with me. Two posters - PlayingWithMyself510 and Grn&Gld1130 - also think you are STUPID. So there.
Folsom fan: You are mis-evaluating the Folsom team. Folsom has good players up front and at the skill positions.
DLS fan: DLS line is superior in every way. They cannot be defeated. Especially by Folsom linemen - who are all weak and inferior.
Folsom fan: What about MD? And SJB? And BG? And East? And Trinity?
DLS fan: NONE of those are in Norcal. And Folsom is not on their level . . . . Except for the rankings. And the win-loss record. And the stats. And players receiving college scholarships. And the rare results vs. common opponents. Other than those things, CLEARLY Folsom is not on their level.
Folsom fan: Those are the only things that we can use to compare teams that did not actually play.
DLS fan: None of those things matter since my opinion rulz all. Just ask PlayingWithMyself510. But thanks for the input G61.

It’s time to fold. DLS will be playing in Concord Ca. On the corner of Treat and Winton. It’s the same place they practice. Another words there HOUSE. So what ever the temperature is there, that’s what they will be playing in. I’m sure it will be the same temperature on Folsom's side. Time for you to fold.This is not material to the game, but anyone who thinks that playing in 95 and playing in 105 heat are the same thing has never played in 105 heat.
Sounds to me like you’re having some serious self-esteem issues.Folsom fan: Both teams are good. Either could win.

[QUOTE="SpartanzRule, post: 201801, member: 1118 - 3. DLS is going to murder Folsom THIS time as well. Damn I forgot the fourth thing...
Well said!So glad I've resisted my old man instinct to jump in to the pool of stupidity.
Happy that this game will kick-off what should be a great season of NorCal football played by young men and coaches that have worked their tails off to lay it on the line Friday night after Friday night. Best of luck to them all for a well played, injury free game and season.
If you disagree or even resemble a Folsom fan, you get called a letter and a number like H65 or told your crazy.Any semblance of objectivity is clouded by some far out green tinted vision.
But babble on. Freedom of speech Brett Kavanaugh.

The night of this game shall go down in history in the forum world. I cant wait.
PS- funny some have mentioned the line play against Helix as an indicator that folsom cant compete against DLS. They also failed to mentioned Helix was a senior heavy team, and twice the size and folsom handled them. Not to mention Helix had one of the best corners in the country who was burnt toast against Folsoms skill players.
I think a year later. A year stronger. A year more experienced improves Folsoms chances. I think they should def have the balls to get on that bus and prove they are the favorite in the this game.
Same old song and dance.Listen to the pot calling the kettle black. But I’m not attacking anyone. You have serious issues. I’m smiling and having a good time going back and forth with some of the Folsom fans. It’s fun. But you just go off like everyone has to see it your way. You want to say whatever opinion you might have and that be the end of it. Sorry no it don’t work that way. There is nothing you can say that would make any REASONABLE man believe that the 2014 Folsom team would have beat DLS convincingly. What you want to do is take your team that somehow was able to get the Folsom rule passed so you didn’t have to play DLS. Then come out and say we would have won because of video and stats. NO play the game. Look you think Folsom is going to win and I got no problem with that. But when they lose and then drop next years game you will be the first one saying we would have won in 2019. Just look at the video and stats. Your looking real bad. You might want to consider folding.
Now see your fun.Same old song and dance.
Folsom by 7-10 points.
It will be interesting to see people bringing up the so called Folsom rule after Folsom beats DLS this year. It will be epic.
You are getting desperate.Just to see how much you really know about your team. Why do they call it the Folsom rule?
All the answer we needed.You are getting desperate.

DLS by a min of 14 and that’s because DLS put there (sic) 2nd & 3rd string in.”
Lad and Baugh have NEVER put in 2s, let alone 3s unless up by three scores. Maybe with a 1:00 left. Or a few SBGs.
I agree with that, but Spartans have shown to be vulnerable early in the season. That’s an edge to FolsomI remember that Bellarmine team that took on Folsom @ Sac State and defeated them. Bells were disciplined, fast and played sound defense...With that said, I am going with the Spartans in a competitive and spirited game at OO Field.
Must have been a great game at Sac State.I remember that Bellarmine team that took on Folsom @ Sac State and defeated them.
Folsom will win by 7-10 points.Everyone seems to think that on the defensive side of the ball that Folsom has become a monster. They are great offensively, but defensively they will be unable to stop the veer, plus the new DLS qb will be able to pass on occasion.
I don't see anyway that Folsom can keep DLS under 40 points.
A fun little note since we like past results.
DLS did not beat one team better than Folsom last year. The only common opponent was the same score margin(Central). Most think DLS is a step behind last year. Most think Folsom is the best they've ever been this year.
With all the D1 talent returning. And theres lots. They are as high powered as any in the state of Ca right now. Top 3 for sure.
1 year more of experience. Bigger. Faster. Stronger. Best shape of their lives.
Folsom by 7 to 10 points. Book it.
Bring Dano back!Book it Dano. LOL. You must be about that age to remember Hawaii 5-0.
This game will certainly be interesting. Better be ready to hit somebody.
