Come on mtnjohn! It's one team. Kinda like saying I don't like the NCS because CVC was placed on probation. Use your head, man.Originally posted by mtnjohn:
Folsom's team this year only behind about 10 DLS teams. And think of the class DLS won with. Something Foldom never learned. And you wonder why I don't like the SJS.
Perfectly said - Thanks!Originally posted by hofwhscos:
Sorry, but you post illustrates exactly the problem. THE PLAYERS were obviously classy and respectable. No showboating, taunting, or any behavior that took away from what play had just been made. You're right that's classy. THE COACHES, however, is a different deal. If they were as classy as the players, then you'd have a different story. No one resented coach Lad at DLS, because of his style. They resented the results. People hate Folsom's rub it-in-you-face style, and that's a shame because the players and THE SYSTEM should be celebrated for what they have accomplished. I have no dog in this hunt, having played football in northern california, and my nephews have never played against Folsom. I'm just an old school fan who was taught to win and lose with dignity and class. The fact that anything other than the way Folsom was prepared, executed, and conquered is being discussed should give you pause, as a Folsom fan. I don't "hate" anything about Folsom. I dislike the notion of running up scores to set records.
It's the least controversial because it is the status quo. It's the status quo based on the fact that historically teams have had running offenses, especially at the hs level, and this was the way that you kept the clock running in the past. The clock runs now regardless, so no need to avoid passing just to keep the clock running. Everyone wants folsom to completely abandon what they do when they are winning. Why shouldn't running teams have to do the same and simply throw short passes over and over again? It sound ridiculous but it is no different than insisting folsom run every play.Originally posted by hofwhscos:
Yes, it's better to run the ball even if they are stacking the box. If the clock is running without stopping the game has been declared over. The Idea at that point, shouldn't be to score more unless you are just basically unstoppable, and it's your benchwarmers doing it. At least by running basically straight you are giving them the opportunity to stop you, even if they are overmatched. Other than just taking a knee, it's the least controversial thing you could do in that circumstance.

East bay arrogance would have gotten DLS a pounding at the hands of Folsom. Look what socal arrogance got Oceanside last night. It's so funny that people have gotten so angry that a team other than DLS is the best in CA. It just burns people! I love it! LOL
Our third string would have been finishing off a hypothetical game with this Folsom team.Originally posted by G61:
And this Folsom team is better than ANY of the teams any of you anonymous posters every played on BOOM!
