Folsom state best 36 game winning streak

[ThunderRam]

You are seriously that jealous to where you "fact check" to see if it is really 37 or if it is 36?

Wow...a new low. Seriously.

C'mon man, as soon as I start to actually take you seriously again -- you're actually going to accuse me of jealousy and hatred because I value factual reporting? Shake yourself, bro. You are being a tad over-sensitive. I've made the same comments regarding De La Salle's NorCal streak when it's incorrectly reported.

If you'd rather live in fantasyland and your own world, that's fine. But let me know and I'll go back to ignoring your shtick. Your call.

 

[G61]

Let's be honest here...

It doesn't matter if it is TRULY 36 or 37. The streak is impressive. Let's leave it at that and call it a day.

Any of us can go online and research the actual amount. It doesn't really matter.

If Rocklin had such a streak, I would NEVER go back and actually count the wins. The sheer amount of wins in the 30's would be extremely impressive enough to me.

Now, let's get back to football and match ups

 

[concrete17]

No, he like a lot of people are simply repeating the incorrect total being reported by the media. It was 35 prior to the GB game not 36, and is now 36 not 37. Anybody that does any sort of elementary fact checking would figure this out, but apparently 99.9% of the population prefers to simply believe whatever they read.

Hey come on ThunderRam.................................
It is on the internet,
1st post this thread by G61 from an article
written by the Great Joe Davidson.

It has to be true

What next............You gonna tell me that it is NOT true that Elvis is working at a 7-11, managed by Jimmy Hoffa in Area 51 in Nevada ???

 

[G61]

Maybe you should both write to the Sac Bee and tell the author he is a complete Folsom Homer because he misstated the streak by one game.

It is probably all a conspiracy by Folsom to run up the streak

 

[SPortela24]

This is the funniest thing I've heard in a while lol. Folsom homers want to be the best in the state so bad.

Hey, if you can't beat them, declare your own streak! Or something like that lol

 

[G61]

You realize nobody on here wrote anything about the streak right!? It was the Sac Bee...If you don't like it, write in

 

[sarpar]

If Folsom loses to Del Oro does the streak* continue?

*36 straight wins over schools that don't start with De?

 

[G61]

Per the article- "Folsom extended its state-best regular-season winning streak to 36. Folsom last lost to a regular-season foe – or anyone from its section – in 2011"

It clearly states it is a regular season winning streak. Any questions?

 

[2wcats]

If Folsom loses to Del Oro does the streak* continue?

*36 straight wins over schools that don't start with De?

Now that is funny!

 

[G61]

I find it funny how a team like Folsom has had so such success, which has created so much jealousy from other people...

I guess it is a good thing...I now know how DLS feels sometimes. It can feel good to be hated

 

[G61]

I hear ya...I just think people go overboard and think there is some kind of conspiracy for Folsom to create a streak.

It is just funny to me.

 

[sarpar]

Think I deleted that, but yeah. While I acknowledge Folsom's regular season winning streak, and their sectional dominance, is impressive. I just find it humorous that Sac Bee wrote an article about a winning streak for a team that lost during that time span. FYI, guess who has the second longest active winning streak in California?

 

[G61]

I am well aware

 

[WWHS44]

Never said they were scholarship players, just that they went to D1 FBS programs. I actually left Vince Gibbs off that list. Like Jackson Cummings at Stanford, Gibbs and Sean Moore were preferred walk-ons at Nevada. Cummings did get a scholarship from Stanford for at least one year, but I'm not certain if Gibbs or Moore ever did. I didn't follow either of their college careers, I just recall the announcement of where they were headed.

A quick search of the Interwebs returned this from the Rocklin HS football site. So 5 kids that went to FBS programs.

Chris Clowdus - Sierra College
Trevor Cooper - American River College
Sean Moore - University of Nevada Reno
Vince Gibbs - University of Nevada Reno
Jackson Cummings - Stanford
Holden Huff - Boise State
Nick Williams - Humboldt State
Nic Cooper - American River College
Jimmy Laughrea - Boise State
BJ Roberts - Butte College
Garth Keffer - UC Davis

Fair enough,

I was familar with the first three you used and there were all scholarship athletes. I know Cummings could have gone just about anywhere but wanted that Stanford education (smart kid). Memory is correct Gibbs didn't make it and Moore never played again.....Think I got that right?

 

[SPortela24]

Yeah, but someone not too bright decided to echo the sentiments of the Sacramento Bee.

I mean, G61, you're a Folsom Homer right? Go on and bask in the glory, I ain't mad at ya. If the Dodger fans can bark at the Giants fans about winning The NL West while the Giants were winning World Titles than why can't the Folsom Bulldog nation pound their Bulldog chests at the fact they they've got a 36 game regular season winning streak between getting assulted by De La Salle twice in the same span before throwing up a white flag and saying "we'll settle for Division 1 and long as we can play someone else for it"?

The newspaper clipping should look good in The Folsom trophy case lol.

 

[RedZone90]

Damn..

Again, if you don't like it, write to the Sac Bee

I was simply pointing out a great article written about Folsom...

I never thought I'd see the day that we would be hated for every article written about us...even ones we had nothing to do with writing. In a way, it's a good thing. Hate comes with success.

Maybe DLS should send their QB's to one of our camps. I'm sure we could help out with all the throwing issues

 

[Phoenix45]

1. Folsom does not have a 36 game win streak. You actually have to win all the games to have a streak. I count 21 in a row.
2. No way Folsom beats DLS in an regional game last year. They may have had a chance if it was Week 1. Beyond that, forget it.
3. Centennial was a much better offense last year than Folsom's. Scary fast and good; even more so this year.
4. Folsom barely got by a CVC team this year that is no where near as good as they have been in the past two years. I would bet that Folsom loses this year.

What is DLS's NorCal win streak? Have they hit 300 games yet?

Yes, Folsom would have beaten DLS last year...

Yes, Folsom's offense was better than Centennial's last year... (look at the national records)

Yes, Folsom barely got by a VERY good CVC team.

Yes, Folsom lost 9 PLAYERS...count em...9 players to Division 1 scholarships last season. And they are STILL a state power this year.

Are they as good as last year? No. But it is VERY IMPRESSIVE that they are in the conversation again considering the loss of so many players

 

[sarpar]

I don't think Folsom would have beaten DLS, but we will never know as the game never happened. I will say Folsom never played anyone of DLS caliber last year; and, as good as Browning was, DLS doesn't have problems with offenses where they know where the QB is at all times. Dano Graves would have been a freaking nightmare for DLS.

I'd take Centennials offense over Folsom's, but obviously take Folsom's defense over Centennials. Would have been a fun game.

The rest of it I'm with you on.

 

[BigMann08]

Folsom had a great team last year. They were phenomenal. They were one of the best teams to come out of SJS. Definitely not the most talented but they had no peers in SJS last year. I think a Folsom vs De la Salle Game would have been competitive last year but I still pick De la Salle as an overwhelming favorite over Folsom.

Folsom has been on an incredible run and they have garnered much deserved recognition. My only knock on the Bulldogs is scheduling. They do a poor job of scheduling. Del Oro has set the mark for scheduling. Folsom could have solidified it's place in the mind of all critics by scheduling better teams. To date, their biggest wins came in 2010 against Grant and Serra. They haven't beaten any top flight teams since that point. Two lopsided losses to De la Salle can't place you in a conversation with De la Salle.

Folsom has every opportunity to schedule Pac-5 competition. (Centennial, Bosco, Serra, Mater Dei) are typically ranked in the top 50 nationally. I'm also sure that Bishop Gorman and Bellevue would love to play the Bulldogs. Maybe even renew the preseason game with Grant.

The SJS as a whole has done a poor job of scheduling.

The preseason has been a joke. Games we continually miss out on:
Folsom vs. (De la Salle, Grant, Elk Grove, St. Mary's Pac 5)
Grant vs. (De la Salle, Folsom, Inderkum, St. Marys, Del Oro, Granite Bay, Pac 5, Pitt, CVC, WCal)
Elk Grove vs. (Del Oro, OakRidge, Folsom, GB, Inderkum)
St. Mary's vs. (Grant, Del Oro, Folsom, Elk Grove).

These games should be scheduled regularly in the preseason.

 

[G61]

Any team Folsom schedules and beats, you guys are going to say they should have scheduled someone else.

They played CVC this year (D2 state title favorite in their division). They also play in one of the toughest LEAGUES in CA (Del Oro, GB, Rocklin, etc...)

They played Grant last year (undefeated until the end). They played Oceanside (undefeated until blown out against the Bulldogs). They played also played Cathedral Catholic the first game of the year! (ranked top 20 in CA).

Many of the teams you mention play in weak leagues and have to play teams outside their league to get any type of competition. Folsom doesn't have to do that. They have 5 potential top tier teams in their backyard.

Could they schedule one of those teams you mentioned in a non-league match up? Sure they can. How do you know they haven't tried to schedule them? People aren't exactly lining up for the chance to play Folsom these days...believe me. Just ask DLS when Folsom came calling, wanting to play last year when all their players were seniors

By the way- The team DLS lost to this year (Trinity) would have been blown out by Folsom last year by 30. In fact, THIS YEARS Folsom team could have potentially beaten Trinity. Ouch

Agreed for most part. Although Grant and DO have scheduled each other in recent years as have St. Mary's and DO. The Pacers have also done a good job venturing out of section to play POLY, Bellevue, Alta, Highland, and Valley Christian. They need to get back to that. I know Coach AL claims that it's hard to get area teams to schedule them, which is why they've gone to Fresno the past few seasons. They need to venture a little further South into PAC-5 territory. I'd love to see them schedule the likes of Servite, Santa Margarita, Mission Viejo or Mater Dei. If they can't afford to travel that far, the WCAL isn't too far away. Any of those schools would be a great match and aren't scared to play anyone. Same scheduling idea for ALL of the top tier SFL and Delta league teams.

 

[BigMann08]

The way that the elite Pac 5 schools schedule makes me believe that the top flight schools would welcome a game with Folsom. Playing a San Diego school is in no way playing up. The level of competition is not better than Sacramento.

With 36 consecutive SJS wins it may be time to take on some Pac 5 schools. Last year was a perfect time to schedule up. You guys had a phenomenal team but didn't play anyone elite. I for one thought that Folson would have beaten any of the Pac 5 schools last season. Just not De la Salle.

In California the elite teams are De la Salle and the Pac 5 powerhouses. It's like that every year.

 

[G61]

I know for a fact that we called many of the schools mentioned PRIOR to last season and THE ONLY ones willing to plays us were the ones scheduled.

As much as people on here don't want to hear this...A majority of their schools declined the invitation.

 

[BigMann08]

Good points Thunder... the scheduling has been so weak that the crowds are waaaay down. I also feel that coach Al should begin grooming his predecessor. This will make the transition better.

I'm pretty sure that Inderkum would be a great team to add to the schedule. Especially since the communities are knotted and close in proximity.

1) Burbank
2) Inderkum (has this game not been played over $$$$??? )
3) Top 10 state team
4) SFL

If the Pac 5 teams declined to play you then I will take you at your word. That means Poly, Serra, Bosco, Mater Dei, Centennial, Bishop Amat, all declined. Well if that be the case then all you can do is play who wants to play you.

 

[G61]

Most of the declinations were mainly because the dates did not work with their schedules, which I understand.

Our league is not exactly a powder puff league either...

No, no - you misunderstood. The Pacers have a hard time scheduling local area teams. A lot of Sac area programs simply don't want to play them. That's why Coach AL has ventured to Fresno lately. I'm not at all suggesting that any PAC-5 programs have declined. Why would they?

I'd like to see them do what Del Oro and Granite Bay did a few years back by scheduling Oaks Christian, Westlake and Notre Dame. Doesn't have to be those exact schools, but maybe the ones I mentioned earlier. I know some of the PAC-5 schools would love to schedule the Pacers -- or even Folsom as you suggested. Make it happen! If those PAC-5 programs are willing to play Del Oro, there's no doubt they'd play any other worthwhile program up here. The only road block, possibly, could be agreeing to a home and home. Westlake and POLY both made trips up here, but the other games have all been down in SoCal as part of a multi-game event.

Grant already plays Burbank every year, but you are spot on with Inderkum. That could be a nice rivalry game. Indy is one of the better D3 programs in NorCal and while they don't have the Pacers size, they do have the speed to matchup. We'll have to ask mistark if they've ever come close to scheduling that game.

 

[Phoenix45]

Got to give it to G61 for his undying support of Folsom. He is the only one that thinks they could ever beat DLS.

Last year Folsom did not face the caliber of opponent's that Centennial did. Even Oceanside was not in the same league (figuratively) as the PAC-5 teams. I think that any of the top 4-5 PAC-5 teams would have beat Folsom last year. But if Folsom never schedules real competition, we will never know.

This is exactly what people were saying about DLS in the late '80's/early '90's, and DLS went on to seek out the high levels of competition. They were the ones who truly started HS football on a national level.

What will Folsom do? Stay in the SJS / NORCAL area? Let them prove they belong and can sustain a national level of football.

 

[Polemic]

It's awesome how everybody picks and chooses what "streak" to quote. How about just go old school and go by the amount of wins in a row regardless of where the opponent is from. Lol I mean the programs pick their scheduled opponents and generally don't pick teams they don't expect to be able to beat. With exception of Del Oro lol

Funny, since people were saying Oceanside was on par with Centennial, prior to the D1 title game. All of a sudden they get rolled and everyone is like, "oh, that team is terrible!"

Keyshawn Johnnson- "C'mon mannnnnn!"

You might be mixing up Corona Centennial with Cathedral Catholic. I don't think anyone sane thought Oceanside was anywhere close to Corona Centennial (CC) last year. CC came out of the PAC 5 playoffs and Oceanside came out of the San Diego Section Open Division. Way different levels of play. If you can find any references that anyone had them at par I will stand corrected.

I would have loved to see that Folsom team faced off with anyone from the PAC 5. They were good enough to go toe to toe with any of them.

These were just forum ramblings prior to the game that I can recall.

Obviously, I think we all deserved to see the elusive Folsom vs. DLS match up. But, I think a Folsom vs. CC match up would have been an absolute gem.

 

[sarpar]

No one with any knowledge about football what-so-ever was saying Oceanside was anywhere near as good as Centennial before, during, or after the SBG. Please point these individuals out to me so I know who to never take seriously again.

Go back and look at the threads from back then...

Many people picked that game to be a tight one...Then all of a sudden Oceanside was the worst team in CA that somehow made it to the D1 state title game undefeated! LMFAO!
