Folsom--- class or no class

This post is about Folsom football and YOU are talking about YOUR "playing days." You are definitely "that guy." You probably don't even have a real job yet. Your job is to come on here and talk trash about any school winning besides your own. I hope you thoroughly enjoyed the game last night. I know I did :)

And be careful who you think you know on here. My accomplishments in the game probably topped yours by my junior year in high school. Yes, you inspired me to talk about my "playing days" as well. You are a loser.

Folsom is the best team in the state. Just watch the tape. The proof is always in the tape :)

First DLS hasn't won the Open title yet, they have to play a team littered with D1 prospects to do that, the same team that went through easily the most difficult four round playoff bracket of any team in the country this year. We learned nothing new about Folsom last night demolishing an Oceanside team that would struggle to even win a game in the Pac-5 bracket.
 
G61, you're just an idiot. You would do Folsom a favor if you would stop posting in it's defense!

This is not about Bay Area vs Folsom, it's about many people who would have loved the game and the result if the coach had put in the second and third string players. Nobody is questioning the score, only the way it was arrived at. I suspect the parents of those second and third string players (who sacrificed just as much time and effort as the starters) would have enjoyed the victory more had their boys gotten their due and gotten to play the final quarter or two. I also bet their were parents of guys who didn't come out sitting next to parents of guys that didn't get in and neither were happy about the situation.

Last, for those of you who think the seniors wanted to play the whole game, that just shows me you were not or have not raised a kid who made it beyond high school sports or ever played on a truly successful team. Real athletes appreciate what their friends surrounding them gave up to be part of the team and don't need to play for their ego's the entire game. They have the confidence to be generous and actually love rooting for the guys that play behind them and watching them get a chance to succeed. The starters I am sure would have loved to be goofing it up on the sidelines and enjoying the victory together, a tight group of senior who accomplished so much while being happy for their buddies who got the chance to be on the field.

But because you deserve a reality check, apparently, the current seniors at Folsom did not improve against DLS between their sophomore year and junior year in light of the two scores so any rational person would just shut up and realize it's not likely they improved from junior year to senior year like 3 times more then the DLS kids who by the way have been getting play time vs Folsom for two years as back ups brought into the game to finish with class.
 
It's so funny that all of you are SO MAD about how Folsom won. You all seem to be so interested. But, when you are on top, the bullseye is on you. It is a compliment. Thank you all :)

And about DLS. Beating Folsom with sophomores and juniors is nothing to write home about. This year, Folsom would have mopped the floor with them. DLS can't even throw a 20 yard pass. Folsom's defense would have slowed the run down big time. Folsom wins that game 41-20. Ouch

Which is exactly why you see so much hate against SJS supporters. When they have a great team it's never "great game, great team", it's always "why don't we get the respect DLS receives". It's because every section will have a team here and there that hits lightning in a bottle to make a strong argument for best in state. This includes 2014 Folsom, along with teams like 1998 Elk Grove and 2006 Grant. The reason why the same respect and accolades will never be bestowed on those teams is because they haven't done it for 30 years straight. This includes any team from the SJS, the CCS, the NCS, or even any of the teams in the SoCal sections. Long Beach Poly has put more players in the NFL than any other school in the universe, but when you talk about them in terms of a CA power, those two losses to DLS are a black eye. When Folsom, Grant, Elk Grove, or any other team maintains the level of excellence that DLS has been able to maintain for that long, that's when the respect will come, not when you have one team, in one year, where all the stars aligned.
 
You play the game to win. You don't play the game to satisfy bay area parents that think everyone should get a trophy for showing up to practice. You teach kids to go hard, no matter what. That is life. Life is competitive. If you don't think that, you have probably raised a kid that always got a trophy for showing up. But, that my friends, is not the reality of life.

By the way, GO FOLSOM!

Hatchball,
If you want to compare apples to apples, you have to mention that Folsom is a public school. All public schools will not remain national powers for year on end. It will happen one year and not the next. That is the reality. Public schools cannot "ship" players in from around the region via BART just to play football and stay on top.

With that being said, Folsom was the best team in the state this year. Accept it.
 
G61, Congrats and thank you for one thing. Making this thread comical and fun for us all to respond to your skewed view points.

Have a Merry Christmas.
 
Decoydan,
Thanks for making this day amazing. Your hatred of Folsom has been quite the compliment. I never thought I would see the day that we would be more hated than DLS. It is very humbling. State champs!
 
That is correct. Big boys tonight. Folsom could of got a shot at DLS last week if it was not for all their crying that lead to the creation of the FOLSOM RULE. How it must feel to have a rule named after your school because you did not want to play De La Salle again.
 
Randy Marsh or g61- Really? The "you don't have a real job" smack? What's next? "your mother wears army boots"? No, I believe we all believe you're "that guy" I half expect to see an selfie of your high school trophy case, with you in your letterman's jacket. We're talking about the COACHES. Period. No one's trying to take away your cialis.
 
HAHAHA, empty trophy case!? See! I was right. You are "that guy" that is still hiding behind high school accomplishments, and bashing others when theirs are better (Folsom). Get a real job, stop talking about "back in the day" and move on! LOL.
 
THE FOLSOM RULE actually came from DLS. It means DO NOT PLAY THEM THIS YEAR. It's funny when all Folsom's players are now seniors, DLS is suddenly absent from the scheduling table.

Guess what bay area!? There is a new top dog in CA :)

"But I don't likkkkee the way they win!?" LOL

You are just mad that I own you. And that I am a better football player than you! Ouch!

G61 is on to something here. De La Salle was WAY too scared to schedule Folsom. After blowing them out for two years obviously, DLS knew to duck Folsom. Folsom's players are all seniors now, clearly the Spartans sophs and juniors never became seniors, they just froze in time and failed to age or improve. Only Folsom got older and better and DeLa knew better then to schedule them.

But then we digress, because I haven't read a single post from someone who hates Folsom or has claimed they aren't good and didn't deserve the victory. Simply people who object for a variety of reasons to finishing a blow out with starters going full steam. Reading comprehension isn't everyone's strength.
 
Your right about reading comprehension. It is clearly not your strength. You obviously did not read all of my posts. The facts are that DLS beat Folsom twice when Folsom was loaded with sophomores and juniors. You have to compare apples to apples. This year would present a true equality and level playing field.

But.........We will never get to settle this argument because when Folsom came calling last summer, DLS was on a recruiting trip, via BART, to Richmond!
laugh.r191677.gif
 
Bart! Hahahaha.
That's a real knee slapper. You should use it another 100 times today!

The reading comprehension part comes in when you failed to realize because DLS plays their subs and the difference in the scores, you have been playing under class men all along who have also aged and improved. Hopefully that spells it out slowly enough for you.

OMG....that was hlarious ! I couldn't catch my breath for a moment.
 
Anyway, I am all for the Norcal winning even DLS. DLS has earned the right to play in the Open and I wish them luck.
 
G,
We're not impressed by either your claims regarding your playing days or your willinginess to acknowledge any accoutability or responsibilty about sportsmanship. You seem to be too thick to understand what the whole thread on this posting is about. Better you stay in Folsom and not expose yourself to the outside world. It will be less stressfull on you and everyone else. Better you stay in your cave.
 
G,
Folsom never came calling for a game at anytime. If you have proof otherwise, then provide it as your crediblity is non exsitant as evidenced by your previous posts. Indeed, they changed the play in game for the open and had a rule named after them....the Folsom Rule. Not to worry, it won't be an issue for another four years as it appears Folsom is on a four year cycle to compete competively.
 
This thread is incredible. There is a team in Northern California who hasn't lost to another nor cal team in 250ish games. A team has one undefeated season and thinks they are now the rulers. The same kids and same players got mopped the two previous years by that streak team. Note I say mopped, not even close.
Just because you beat another CIF D1 team from your section and a San diego team that is only there because SoCal plays all of there good teams in one playoff division, you are not the best.

ALL ranking systems, no matter what happens tonight, will put Folsom #2 in the state.
Folsoms beat win was against the #11 team in the STATE.

Tonight the best two team #1 and 2 play each other, get over it, that is how it works.


On another note, Oceanside was an undefeated team. If they can't hang, they deserve to get whooped.
I don't think what Folsom did was poor sportsmanship at all.
Plus, it's the last game for folsoms golden arm and year. Let them enjoy the last of it.

Stop them. Or do not put pen to paper to sign on and play. Organized football is not a recreational league.

Is that more to your English standards?
3dgrin.r191677.gif


Wasn't trying to pick a fight. My point: You may beat me, but I'm not losing a race because I slowed up at the end. Same goes in reverse. If you're thumping me, it's my job to stop you.

For the record, I might have pulled my starters earlier. Folsom didn't. It was a blowout either way. And I'm more concerned about taunting and the like than you leaving your starters in a little longer than usual in the last game of the season, in the last game for your stellar senior class, the last time you will all ever be together to play a competitive football game, etc.

It ain't that big of a deal. It just ain't.
 
I will ask again, why do you people insist on calling it the Folsom rule? Why not the Pac 5 rule? with an open play in this year you would of had Oside vs CC and Folsom vs DLS. Watch the game tonight and tell me which would have been a better game? which team could have actually won as the under dog.
 
Dls beating the #5 team in the country by 21. I don't think there is any question who the #1 team in the country is. And their name doesn't start with a F
 
I believe that a game between Folsom and DLS would have been great for about a half, but DLS does to Folsom what they did to CC. Just my humble opinion.

While I agree with you on most of your comment Paul. But The reality is that this particular thread was started by the same Folsom hater who said the same things last week. Its true G61 continues stirring the pot, but there are plenty others on here who are lining up to bash Folsom. Don't like the way the coaches coach, fine. I don't necessarily disagree. Seems like there's a lot less talk about how great Folsom looked last night, and a lot more bashing off the program. it's not the Folsom fans starting these threads...and everyone is piling on.
 
Folsom had a great team this season and from what people were saying, their seniors have been playing together for close to a decade now. It was good to see a public school do so well in the State game and even nationally. I still say the best team to come out of the SJS, though was the Elk Grove team in '98 led by Lance Briggs. Always thought that was a team that could push DLS during their streak and it was too bad there wasn't a Regional or State game back then to see them compete. And that EG team/Coaches did have class. I saw them soundly defeat Atwater in the Section Championship game and remember the coaches having their backs run 10 yards and take a knee several times rather than score another TD in the 4th quarter. Congrats to Folsom, but they're still second best in several ways.

I feel the same way about this as I do a basketball player going for 100 points....try to embarrass me or my team with selfishness, that's fine but someone will end up hurt because of it. I would have made sure that Folsom QB got hit hard multiple times by multiple people once the selfishness became obvious. Who cares about a 15 yard penalty at that point? I might be slightly old school but who would be the bigger prick?
 
I'm a long time observer--love the banter on this board. I don't chime in much, but I haven't noticed anyone mention what I feel is the obvious: Oceanside expressed their displeasure near the end of the game with three straight cover zero blitzes. I'm no football mastermind, but I'm sure Oceanside knew Folsom would counter with a screen on the third blitz. I doubt they gave a shi__ about the touchdown. The message was lay off or we're coming for your all-universe QB.
 
Bottom line is Folsom's last 2 scores came on a 3 and 30, screen pass, and a last second fumble.

I mean, c'mon! I would get everyone's point if they scored those last 2 TD's on 50 yard bombs. But, in this case, it is not warranted. It is the STATE CHAMPIONSHIP. You are playing another 15-0 team! If you can't stand the heat, get out the kitchen!
 
I'm glad Folsom kicked Oceanside's teeth in. It's just too bad we didn't get to see the game we all wanted to see Folsom vs. DLS. I listened to the announcers making excuses for why the Norcal. teams are rolling over the Southern teams, it should have been 5 & 0. It's about time Southern Cal. bows down to the North.



"GREAT JOB TO ALL THE NORTHERN TEAMS" it's real football not powder-puff.
 
Mug I feel the same way but its all good! The starters should have been pulled and the backups who busted their ass all year as well should have played in the 4th qtr. It's just the RIGHT way to play HS sports PERIOD and its sad that so many people think its okay to embarrass an opponent! Folsom coaches are flat out terrible mentors if they feel that's the way to coach a HS team! So you're telling me you're trying to build a TEAM and the guys that are backups have played the entire year during blowouts but now the biggest game of all and they get NOTHING!?? That's garbage PERIOD!!! BTW I have no dog in the fight and have actually defended Folsom in the past but there's no defending leaving starters in the game in a 55-7 game! It's truly sad that grown men on this board don't get it and even sadder that educators that coach at Folsom are that clueless and stupid to embarrass an opponent and think its right at the HS level!
